[General Questions and Answers] mohlam12:
Hello,

First of all, I'd like to apologize if this is not the right forum where to post this.

I'd like to make a personal app for my rooted Galaxy Nexus which will basically run in as system service, and will not be able to be removed by a factory reset.

This app will be able to, if the caller ID is equal to a predefined number (XXX for example), automatically answer the call, with the phone behaving as usual (no change to the UI, no ongoing phone call, nothing). I'm planning to use this in case my phone is stolen, I'll be able to call from another number and basically eavesdrop using the phone's microphone via a phone call.

Anybody can guide me on how to achieve this ? I just want to know the general howto and some keywords to search for...

I've already made a couple of apps for Android, but I have no experience in core android programming.

Thank you!

I just purchased the MK808B and will have it delivered tomorrow. I was curious what to expect with steaming apps. I live in a condo that doesn't allow more than basic cable so I currently use my PS3 to watch movies from Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and Crackle. I was curious if other apps work like Directv Everywhere, Max Go, Showtime Anytime, etc??

As far as games go what controller do most of you use? I bought the Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 to use for now but I assume I'll want a good game controller.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] scmobileman:
My MD808B arrived today. I bought it through Amazon from Geekbuying. It did come pre-rooted. It's a very fast device that operates with little to no lag. Not the my pleasing (to the eye) homescreen but not bad. I hooked up my Logitech K400 keyboard and was off and running within a minute or two. As I mentioned in my first post my main focus was on the streaming apps. I went to Netflix first, the play store downloaded a table version of Netflix and it ran with no problem at all. I generally use my PS3 and there is a noticeable difference in quality. The MK808B looks much closer to the SD while the PS3 has a nice HD pic. I have limited speed here (about 3MB down) so that isn't helping.

Up next I went to HBOGo. It works as well. The only problem was when you go to the login screen you can't see the text boxes once the onscreen keyboard pops up. Outside of that it seems to work well. Quality is about the same as I get from my laptop, which isn't great but acceptable.

Maybe the most important to me is Directv Everywhere. The app downloaded, fired up quickly and searched moved quickly as well. However I can't get anything to play. It just has a circle in the middle of the screen as if it's buffering. I'll keep working on this one because it's so important to me but I'm not very optimistic.

Crackle's app is small and downloaded with no problem. It's not the easiest to navigate but it did work and the streaming quality was similar to the PS3, not HD but "ok".

I tried Hulu, as most of you know it didn't work. Saying it was't supported on this device.

MaxGo downloaded and starts up with no problem. However when I try to sign in it keeps going back to the main page and without signing in you can't watch the shows/movies.

Redbox Instant doesn't work if you're rooted but there easy work around is to the turn off the superuser features in the SU app. Once I did that I was able to use Redbox but the quality was below average and it buffered repeatedly. At this point it's not usable for me.

As for games I tried a few and so far only Angry Birds works for my setup. Others like Swat FT were impossible because of how it's designed. Temple Run 2 wouldn't start because you can't click on "Play". Real Basketball wouldn't allow me to click on start or click to close the game.

Well it's early and I'm not giving up on the device but right now I would have to say it's far from ready for prime time. It certainly serves a purpose and I'm sure there are ways to make the most out of it but it's more work than I had hoped. Back to more testing!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuroiraida:
Hello.

I recently tried to root my phone with the S3 Mini Toolkit. I have the GT-I8190 international version.

It said that I needed to Install the device drivers first (which is the v1.5.18.0).

So I did it as instructed in the command prompt. When it finished installing the driver, and I plugged my device as instructed, suddenly came an error message "Samsung Hardware ID is missing error", and my Mini became unrecognized all of a sudden. I couldn't access my device storage.

There was an error message too popped up in my device saying that It cannot find a driver in my PC for my device.

I tried to install KIES afterward, hoping that it can solve the problem. Thing is, it didn't. My device was still not recognized, and KIES couldn't recognize it either (Connecting.....for, like forever).

I then tried to Google the problem, and came by a forum, saying that it was the 1.5 USB Drivers that caused the problem (but the case being talked in the forum is for Galaxy S3). Said that my PC need to uninstall the 1.5 drivers, uninstall KIES, deactivate the automatic device installation by Windows, and install the 1.4 version.

Well, what I can find in the internet is the 1.3 USB Drivers, so I tried the instructions, and installed the version 1.3 USB Drivers, and my PC recognized my device again, and able to access the storage.

(also, the 1.3 drivers made Odin unable to recognize my phone too in download mode).

Does anybody here have ever experienced the same problem as mine? Or did I do something wrong?

I managed to root my Mini, being not recognized by the PC (but registered at the toolkit) in the whole process, and then did the whole uninstalling and re-install the USB drivers so that I can access my storage again.

Because it's rather a painful process if in the future I want to use the toolkit again with the newest drivers.

Note:

- before rooting, I did the latest OTA update.

My current device info is

Android version 4.1.2

Baseband version I8190DXAMA2

Build vnumber JZO54K.I8190DXAMA2

Region Indonesia

Thank you very much :)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnnoyingZlatan:
Ok, i want to be quick.

I know there's no a best rom, or that one rom is better than the other, but when it comes to battery, there are few better roms..

So i have 2 questions for you guys.....

What custom rom for our ace has the best battery life?

Which rom, CM 10.1 (WAYLAND_ACE) JB 4.2.2 BETA 7 or AOSP ICS FINAL 4.0.4 MACLAW, has better battery life?

Thanks in advance....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E.Cadro:
Battery life still depends on what each person does with their phone so what one person may say wont be the same for the next. Your only asking about two roms so my suggestion would be to try them both and figure out which one gives you the best battery life for you own specific uses.]

I searched and could not find the thread on going back to competently stock from s-off rooted.

I am having BIG screen issues. My screen has just started going crazy. I have not changed rom's or updated anything but over the past few days the touchscreen will go haywire. It seems like there are multiple things touching my screen at the same time... its really weird. It not my case and I have never had a screen protector on it. I think its warranty time so I need to go back to stock.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GaryAlpusa1:
Hi all, Noob, but learning quickly. I am rooted and unlocked using AdamOutlers Causal method. Updated to vrall4, both the build and baseband.

I have flashed a couple of nice mods using twrp and found it very easy. I would now like to backup my system as I pretty much have my phone like I want it. I went to twrp, hit Backup and got a Failed message because it says: E:Unable to locate sd-ext partition. I formated the sd card a few days ago so its empty. It is also the card that came with my Thunderbolt, which I had before the note2. I figured it would be a good idea to format it for the new phone after backing everything up to my laptop hard drive.

I searched the forum trying to find partition information and found quite a few threads, unfortunatley alot of it is over my head. I did find a thread that mentioned using the twrp advanced section to partition the card. When I go to that section I can't find a place that gives me a partition option. Im sure its in there but I cant find it. Can someone give a clue on how to do this. Thanks GA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xredjokerx:
Have you tried backing up onto the internal storage? Maube try putting a file on the sd card first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GaryAlpusa1:
Thanks for the reply. I tried that also. Still says it cant find the partition. I think I need to partition the card. Just can't figure out how to do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GaryAlpusa1:
Update. ..... did a bunch of reading on the twrp threads and tried a suggestion I read there. Went to the mount tab and selected "mount the sd card". I presume that was the problem because after that I was able to do a twrp backup. All is good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] statustray:
Glad you got things figured out. Sometimes it is the simplest of things (which are often the hardest to find) that resolve issues. Thanks for reporting back. ;)

I guess that would be true in that you cannot write data to the sd card if it is not mounted.

Have a great day!

Hello!

This is my problem:

Yesterday i tried to install my first AOSP, CarbonRom 1.5. Installed last Philz recovery, nandbackuped, wiped data and cache, dalvik, formatted system and preload, and installed the ROM. NOT BOOTING. I HAVE A BOOTANIMATION LOGO LOOP.

OK. Going to try with CWM recovery. SAME! Siyah recovery, SAME TOO!

Ok, is the ROM file.

Cyanogenmod, SAME! AOKP, SAME! Carbon 1.4b, SAMEEEE!!! (of course with a fullwipe before install any ROM...)

However, all stock based ROMs are working fine. From ODIN, from recovery, all working fine. Stock nandbackup wirking too.

Is an august international Galaxy SIII.

Any idea?

Thanks XDA!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squ89r97:
Just making sure you're following the instructions right after flashing a rom (Below is for CM10.1) you are doing the data wipe/factory reset as it tells you in the instructions (below

underlined

and in red)

First time installing CyanogenMod 10.1 to your Galaxy S III, or coming from another ROM:

- Read known issues ans FAQs

- Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery

- Copy GApps and CM10.1 ZIPs to your SDCard

- Boot into Recovery

- Flash CM10.1 zip from SDCard

- Flash GApps zip from SDCard

- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)

- Reboot

- Don't restore system data using Titanium Backup!

- Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible!

Hi...

Thanks for the linky, i grabbed it today and for some reason, it's not detecting my device. I've installed/reinstalled the drivers that came down with v0.9.8, still same results. Shows the driver Android ADB Device

When I run the option 2 to install root & superuser error encountered. We are unable to locate your kindle fire. Fastboot uses a different device than ADB. ck device mgr for Kindle or Amazon (when looking, neither are listed.)

So tried to just boot it to FastBoot and same results, device not found.

So being dummy me, i ran the Run script as admin, now i get the Tools\wget cannot be found. Thought maybe it was a long file name issue, so copied folder to c:\temp\ - still same results.

What am I doing wrong here guys?

It was seeing it as android adb.

I do have it on 1.4.a as well.

I did remove all of the drivers to the point win7 was showing kindle with an !. Reinstalled and rec'd same results. Got pissed at it and removed drivers again rebooted and removed the files under .android. When I get a chance, i'll try reinstall. Maybe by manually deleting the inf file will do some good???. I'll update the post when I have a chance to work on it.

Are there any remedies to fix this?

I know how to delete the .android folder, but how can I be sure that the deleted drivers are the one associated with adb and not with other programs ? are those the drivers in Windows/system32 ?

How do you do that ?

Thanks
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetroid:
The .android folder is found under the root of your sdcard or you ext-sd. To remover the drivers:

If you are on Windows 7/8:​

Hit the "Start" button on the keyboard, and when the homescreen (Windows 8) or the Start dialogue (Windows 7) pops up, type in "Add or remove".

Hit enter on the highlighted option, which should be "Add or remove programs". (Note: You may have to go into the settings tab if you are running a search on Windows 8)

This will show you a window where all the apps that are currently installed on your computer shows up. (Metro apps don't show up here.) Look through the list until you find your KF drivers. This should be listed as something like this: Kindle Fire Drivers

Highlight the driver and look towards the top of the window. You should see that a "Change/uninstall" button has popped up. Click on that and follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall the drivers.

You're done! :D

If you are on an older version of Windows:​

The procedure is the same, only you have to go into Control Panel > Add or remove programs to do this.

Good luck rooting your KF. :good:

No. I've installed PROGRAMME B onto my PC than I run the installation program which copied all the files to my PDA. After faulty flashing which ended at 1% I removed the .lnk file from StartUp folder and after soft reboot I ran the PROGRAMME B manually from Windows directory. Is it wrong?
