[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mwshows:
When you're setting up the new rom it will usually ask you if you want to sync with the email account you've entered. I leave those beginning sync boxes UNCHECKED. That way, Google Play will not reload all your apps. You can then use Titanium Backup or whatever backup program you might use. Then when you are finished loading everything you want, turn your sync back on in settings.

Long story short, it is the account sync features that cause Google Play to reload all you apps.

Thanks! makes perfect sense now, because on this reload the setup wizard crashed on me, last time it went though and i did hit sync. this time i added an account later. Had similar story on my old phone, presumably due to similar reasons.

Is it possible to buy apps from play store without credit card? I want to buy and plz dont tell me to download the apk:)

You could buy Google Play gift cards but they're limited to the USA I think. Another option is to pay through your mobile network provider but this depends on what network you're on

You can try through your phone service provider. Buy Google play cards.(no extra fee) or buy a prepaid gift card (vanillavisa is the best because when you register to buy stuff online, most want full info like name, but vanilla just uses zip code.) Also has a 5 dollar purchase fee.

Last but not least. Take the loser way out and Google the apk. Most people say they are too poor to buy apps but yet they have a shiny new nexus 4.
[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
To pay through your provider, gift card or Play card, you still need to make a Wallet account,

which requires a credit card

!.

I know the issue. The only way to get a credit card in most European countries is if the bank is sure you can afford to pay the bill at the end of the month. So if you're unemployed, studying, single, renting or freelance, you're not getting one, period.

So that's about 65% of 750 million people who can't have a credit card. Gee, I wonder why android piracy is so high.... :rolleyes: So the next time someone says "You're so poor you have to download, but you can pay for a [device name]", they make themselves look like fools, as you can buy a device with a bank card, cash or other method. Which you can't in Google Play..

In the USA, you can put money in a prepaid card for a fee. They sell them every where, even grocery stores. You can even have your check direct deposited on it. Will work just like a credit card.

[Xperia Z General] juDGEY2k10:
An exploit has been discovered on the Sony Xperia Z that allows users to root the phone even if their bootloader is locked. Most phones bought directly from some carriers such as O2 and Three in the UK will have locked phones, which means they won’t get to dabble with custom ROMs. However, this exploit means that they can at least enjoy a rooted phone.

it is very easy follow instruction

make sure it you disabled a firewall

run the .bat

is running adb,

then press enter

in the second step watch out for the screen so you can restore data

then enter

then it will open for a service got to service -> display keep it in a white color

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OOge:
Bought a nearly new galaxy tab2 from the internet, but the touchscreen seems not to be working.

Any idea what that can be. Could it be something with a ROM, or does it need to go to Samsung.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1mu:
It could be failed hardware, a bad cable, or perhaps a problem with the touchscreen controller chip.

If you can capture the boot messages using 'dmesg' over ADB, there may be info there that could help determine which.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
When you say the touchscreen "seems" to not be working, what exactly do you mean?

Does it not work AT ALL, or is it just not very responsive to your touch, i.e. scrolling is slow and choppy and/or pinch to zoom is flaky?

Because I have noticed certain apps do not work well on my 10.1 when it comes to the touchscreen, when the tablet is under heavy load. Are you experiencing this more with certain apps, like Chrome and/or Samsung Keyboard? If that's what is happening, I can help.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OOge:
I use a custom firmware, so not possible to return to samsung.

As it is stuck on the install screen, I can't enable debug for ADB.

Or is it auto enabled on a custom rom.

What has the highest chance of failing. Logic board or digitizer (as the cable is not sold seperatly)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistycSr:
I have a Tab 2 P5110, I bought it as faulty as the touchscreen is not working. Otherwise it's alive and responding to the buttons.

After reading several topics it looks like it is a bug that can only be fixed by physically replacing the digitizer panel.

Of course I'd prefer a software solution but so far what I've found wouldn't work on this model due to HW difference.

Can someone confirm that?

Thanks.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I just removed the old links for my Index thread, for what its worth. Also added a warning, not to use old CWM builds.

I see that CWM finally went official 5 days ago (I missed that somehow). Looks like they fixed USB mount, also. So I now see no reason why not to use CWM.

Really, its the users choice. TWRP 2.4.3 had some issues, but it looks like those were fixed, and in general its been a very stable and reliable recovery. Many of us know CWM as a reliable recovery as well, on other devices. So now that its official, I expect the same on the One X.

[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Yes, this is a discussion thread, but you are not allowed to make "meaningless" posts in here.

If you have made some discoveries post it, but no one in here is interested in "thank you" posts or similiar.

Okay, let's try to get the Android 4.2 gapps working as good as possible on our phone.

As you know Google dropped support of non-neon phones and tablets with Android 4.2.

Our Tegra2 SoC doesn't support these neon instructions, which results in a couple problems with the default gapps package.

We need to replace a couple files with older ones to get everything back working.

Update 27.04: I finally found some time to work on gapps and provide a (hopefully) fully working non-neon gapps package in the second post now!

One example: the biggest annoyance is probably the dying keyboard.

This happens because the gapps package replaces the libjni_latinime.so file included in the ROMs with a proprietary one by Google to enable Gesture input.

Unfortunately it does need neon, so you should remove the file inside the gapps package (/system/lib/) before flashing it.

In the logcat you'll usually see a SIGILL error, like this one:

A/libc(3910): Fatal signal 4 (SIGILL) at 0x4f6233a6 (code=1), thread 3910 (putmethod.latin)
I/DEBUG(92): signal 4 (SIGILL), code 1 (ILL_ILLOPC), fault addr 4f6233a6

I'm starting this thread to colloborate together on a gapps package with as much stuff working as possible, so if you do have any insights please share them :)

You can download the CM10 gapps package and get the nonneon files (they're in /optional/nonneon) - but not all of them are still working with Android 4.2.

P.S.: For the love of God, don't call them fapps - fapps is a foss (free and open source) package which uses OpenStreetMaps instead of GMaps and so on.

We still want gapps, just without neon libs.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Okay, here's my non-neon fixed gapps package.

Important: If you already flashed another gapps package do format /system, reflash your ROM then reflash these gapps.

If you don't do that you'll have leftovers from the former package, which results e.g. in a dying keyboard.

Changes compared to the official package:

Fixed the aosp keyboard crashes

Fixed Google Talk videochat crashing

Fixed Faceunlock

Fixed Google TTS

Fixed Google Now & Voice Search crashes on non neon devices & restored hot-word detection

Fixed Talkback

Removed unuseful stuff

Notes:

Swipe keyboard won't work - nothing I can do about that.

Complain to Google for dropping non-neon support

Same thing goes to Photoshpere - no neon: no love.

Don't try to update Google Now - the new version doesn't properly work without neon (not sure if this still applies?)

Download:

http://goo.im/devs/tonyp/non-neon-gapps

If you're interested in more details what parts I changed - here you go.

This will hopefully ensure that future gapps versions will get provided as well :)

to fix facelock: replace libfacelock_jni.so with non-neon lib (credits: Adam77Root)

to fix the keyboard closing: remove libjni_latinime.so

to fix google videochat: added libvideochat_stabilize.so, replaced libgtalk_jni.so with non-neon lib and removed libgtalk_stabilize.so

to fix TTS: replaced libpatts_engine_jni_api.so with a non-neon lib and GoogleTTS.apk with the apk from the teameos gapps package.

to fix Google Now and Voice Search I replaced the QuickSearchBox.apk with this one by Steady Hawkin.

Note that the newest Google Now version isn't compatible with non neon devices anymore, thus this version disables the auto-update.

replaced Talkback.apk with a working version from the eos gapps package.

Partial credits for steps 1-4 go to bubor who already started with a non-neon gapps package.

Then I reflected these changes in the 70-gapps.sh backup script.

That's important because otherwise updating the ROM will break the gapps!

Why? Updating the ROM does wipe /system - only the files which are in the script will retain.

This means that e.g. the libvideochat_stabilize.so will poof away and the libjni_latinime.so won't get updates anymore.

Additionally I removed the g.prop file in /system/etc to prevent the GooManager from trying to update the gapps package if new (neon) updates come.

To reduce the package size I completely removed the photosphere stuff.
[LG Optimus 2x] Robin2:
Just a thought here: since our cpu does not support neon instruction set, wouldn't it be an option to patch the P990's kernel with an neon-emulator? This way, the neon instructions will be translated into something the cpu can process. Corrrect me if I'm wrong.

I'm saying this because I've seen something similar happen on Mac OS X, where version 10.8.x requires a cpu capable of SSSE3 (not SSE3) instructions. They have patched the kernel with an SSSE3 emulator so that it works on older hardware and AMD cpus.
[LG Optimus 2x] bugadani:
I'm thinking about the exact opposite - try to disassemble the libs, replace the neon instructions and reassemble. Not sure yet how much work it would take though...
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
this will be an horrendous work. I've seen some projects trying to hack armv6 instructions into the newer armv7 packages - it's really hard as you have to do it in smali as Google won't release it's sources.

I'm extremely full with loads of projects currently - I'm still hoping some people will take this over and try to build a nicely working non neon gapps version. this only requires trial and error, no real technical knowledge. but the interest seems low :(
[LG Optimus 2x] natalya:
Developer or not... But since you said yourself that "this will be an horrendous work", allow me include a little something here.

From the way I see it, this horrendos work wouldn't really pay off since the earlier version of Gapps has... well... more or less everything the so-called new version has. So why bother if I may ask?

Back to you sir :)
[LG Optimus 2x] natalya:
Soooo, I have been looking into this for the past few days. I think I have got an understand of this that is good enough to make this work.

Since you are working so hard on CM10.1, I'll be willing to put great effort into this. Already started out with some basics, but I am pretty confident that I can make it work by the end of this week.

Will do some proper testing when it has been finished, once everything has been worked out, I'll push it public so you all can have the joy of using it in whatever way you may please :P
