[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vijai2011:
Re: Preload and system foderPreload and system foder

To understand this better,you need to know about symlink in linux os.

Symlink is like shortcut to a certain file in windows.Symlink actually creates a path to original file in a specific directory.

In roms,preload/symlinks/ is symlinked to /system/apps.Linux(also android) shows symlinked files in both source directory and also the destination directory creating an *illusion* that the file exists in both the directories.But in reality,the file exists only in source directory which is /preload/symlinks in this case.The symlinked files in /system/app are just a generic pointer to the files in preload.

Deleting symlinked file in /system/app will also delete original file in /preload and vice-versa.

Long story short:preload is just an place holder for extra apps which is accessed via shortcut in system/apps.(This not an absolute/accurate answer)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Thanks Vijai for the explanation.. i understand that these are pointers.. but should be of the same size as the one in preload ? In deodexed roms there is only one file but in odexed .. there are 2
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vijai2011:
It is not two files of same size actually.After symlink,the os mirrors the atributes and properties of the file from preload to system.So we feel that the file actually exists in two places of same size.But it is not.It only exists in preload.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Ok this makes sense.. But if I pull the one from system/app using adb, should I get the link or the entire app? I currently get the app.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vijai2011:
The app.You get a file(which represents error) only if the symlinked file/directory goes missing.That means,if 2 dir are symlinked and the source dir goes missing,the symlink turns into a file which is not the case if a file is missing inside the directory.But if the symlink is between files,Symlink is broken if the source file goes missing.

Have you got ubuntu on your pc?When try symlinking and experiment with it,It will answer most of your doubts ;).Actually ubuntu shows it more graphically than android which does gets u confused ;)
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
So I saw this over on the s3 forums and it gave me an idea

If everyone who sees this could post the kernel setup (overclocking, schedulers, or other tweaks) that has given either a) the best performance or b) the best battery life, it would be awesome and really help noobs like me who have never overclocked :laugh:

I know that every phone is different and blah blah blah, but I'm hoping that this would at least give us kernel tweaking noobs someplace to start besides just changing random settings and hoping for the best.

Thank you all in advance, all contributions are welcome

When posting, please state if you are addressing performance or battery life tweaks, and what Android version those were applied on just to make things a bit easier to follow

:good: :good:

Thanks!

I've tried several combonations and the one I like most on my Shift is 1.2 max 245 min Interactive, noop. That seems to give me the best ballance between battery life and performance. My favorite kernels for sense ROMs have been Strapped's Supreme Sense kernel and Dodge's v1.6. Others are good too, these are just my favorites.

[EVO Shift 4G General] bilgerryan:
Oh and the sysctl.conf file is meant for 4.1+ AOSP, make a nand first, I can't guarantee anything under that... Just make a nand. I don't see why it wouldn't work on lower versions but I don't know, I only run JB now.:D
[EVO Shift 4G General] Chad The Pathfinder:
To support what bilgerryan said, I tried the sysctl.cont file on sense gb before and it didn't help.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bilgerryan:
Yeah just be careful with using it with Sense, I've seen it cause boot loops on TouchWiz (people never listen... Or is it that they just didn't read the instructions?). Either way, it's meant for JB AOSP and probably won't work on anything below ICS.

The build.prop tweaks work on all ROMs tho.
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
It worked wonders for me on GB
[EVO Shift 4G General] bilgerryan:
The sysctl.conf or the build.prop tweaks? I'm talking about the specific sysctl.conf that I linked to above Just for clarification. You can use a sysctl.conf file on any ROM, just saying these tweaks I did for JB.

And as far as overclocking on the Shift I use the same settings as Chad except I use Smartass (or v2 if available) and sio or deadline for I/O

As title says touchscreeen and cwm recovery not working

I can boot up XP but screen doesn't work but all buttons work, but when I hard reset and press back button it doesn't enter recovery

what i have tried and tested

Tried 2 working digitizer and three working ear piece ribbons

and recently changed the sliding ribbon due to the common wear and tear problem

flashed .58 firmware (with custom kernel and stock kernel) FAILED!

tried doom kernel and lupus kernel, no difference still wont boot into recovery

stock rom and custom roms, still wont work

First digitizer failure started off as temperamental were if just pulled out battery and restarted it might go way and then became laggy

then last time it work perfectly for 12 hours and then suddenly it completely stopped and never worked again:crying:

Has anyone had similar problem or know what could be causing it as i have tried everything I can think of.

I know its not rom, kernel or firmware causing problem as i have stuck to using gingerbread OS

and all hardware mentioned above worked flawlessly before problem but I still checked with other spares I had

[HTC Desire C] jfcabana:
Hi,

I installed Nameless ROM and I love it. However, I'd like to reinstall some apk from my stock rom backup, namely HTC_IME.apk and IMEXT9French.apk, which are french canadian HTC keyboard and system locale. I tried every way to install these. Copying to system/app, install from sdcard, from adb shell. Nothing works. I thought it might be because these utilize odex files and nameless don't. So I tried deodexing using xUltimate, but this too fails.

Any idea how I might fix this??

Thanks.
[HTC Desire C] Majellico:
Did you try installing the apk with the default package installer

and what do you mean "Nothing works", does it not show in manage apps or the keyboard
[HTC Desire C] jfcabana:
I don't have the original apk installer because it came preinstalled on the phone.

By nothing works I mean that the french canada locale does not show under language and keyboard. Also the HTC keyboard in french is azerty whereas a french canada keyboard is supposed to be qwerty.

I know I can bypass this by installing another keyboard, but I liked the HTC one and I made a point to resolve this issue just for the sake of it and as a way to learn how all this apk and android stuff works.

I've finally been able to deodex the fils manually, but still not working. When I run the apk and choose install, I get an error message "not installed".

I guess there might be some dependant files that need to be present in the Framework folder or maybe elsewhere?

Any suggestion?

Thanks
[HTC Desire C] barbrick:
Is it just the stock Canadian keyboard your looking for? If so let me know and I'll pull the apk and post it for you.

In the future Titanium Backup may be useful to you, it's saved my butt plenty of times.
[HTC Desire C] barbrick:
You should be able to get away with unzipping this archive and copying the two files I've included to system/app/ then restarting the device.

Let me know if that works.
[HTC Desire C] jfcabana:
Thank, I will try that. I already tried copying these two files from my stock backup, but that was not successful. I'll see if it's different with yours. I'll let you know what the result is.
[HTC Desire C] jfcabana:
awful eourchas

I'm still getting the f$%?" ASZERTY keyboard whenever I switch to french. I found that I can keep the English keyboard and turn on the second language autocorrect for french, which is working but not ideal.

I will take a look at Titanium Backup and see if I can come up with something.
[HTC Desire C] barbrick:
Yeah, I would try restoring with Titanium Backup, later tonight I can send you a TiBa file. Did the French keyboard use the qwerty layout when you were on stock? My girlfriend uses an Optimus l7 and her stock keyboard had two layouts, t9 and qwertz which was extremely annoying and hard to use.

Also, maybe it's worth while to look into another keyboard, I switched to SwiftKey and find its way more functional than stock. I don't find it is slow like I remember from over a year ago on my x10.
[HTC Desire C] jfcabana:
Yes my stock had a french qwerty keyboard.

I'll take a look at Swift Key. I had installed GoKeyboard but did not like it cause it takes way too much screen estate.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MBProductionz:
So purchased a xoom off ebay.

Title ' Motorola Xoom 2 MZ601 32gb, Wi-Fi AND 3G unlocked to any network'

Description claimed person never used 3g only on wifi (suspicions going here) but gave him benefit of doubt.

Bought Tuesday and received today, whacked working 3g sim into device and nothing. Signal icon bottom left changed from triangle with x in to sim icon with question mark.

Looked at kernel and and firmware and appears to me that he might have tried to mod this or manually update the xoom. Details attached

I would like to get my 3g connection working again, I noticed this has usa firmware on and don't know where this device originated from.

I have serial numbers and imei numbers from the box... which he kept if this helps but not sure how to identify what stock rom i need.

So my questions,

1. Has this been modded?

2. Can i revert this back to a stock rom and if so which one?

Thanks

I'm aware it's a minor update I'm running it on my nexus 7 but that's my point. Verizon is slow to release updates even a minor release. So we will more than likely see 5.0 but not in any timely manner
