Re: Disabled U.S Army Veteran Needs You

This is how disabled/able United States Military Veterans are treated not only by their government (not all of them) but by the people who we and our brothers and sisters have not only dedicated/lost/sacrificed our lives, our families wishes hopes and dreams and the list can go on forever.... For something so small as an act of love, "Fighting" For The Greater Good of not only ones nation but for those all over the world, or a simple vision we soldiers and or warrior's, may have. Which is why I posted this where I believed it would be accepted and taken seriously.

I did not mean to offend anyone. Nor did I expect to have my cry for help or rather my voice silenced for something as harmless as another humanbeing asking for help. I really see no difference in what Iv posted to what others have posted as far as help goes. Im not meaning to nor wish this to bring up any painful memories but maybe this must be said.

I will not name drop nor am I disrespecting you in any way. My heart sank when I read what was going on with a fellow XDA, major contributors member of their family. My heart still aches just thinking of it. Donations were appropriate to be asked of by us members/family and in no way demanded. Im going to leave it at that.

Maybe the mods saw the thread created as a joke (which wasn't). Or for whatever reasons Im not aware of just found it unworthy of XDA. Ask Undercover and freskboy what I pm'd them. I asked undercover to pm freakboy what I pm'd him.

JESUS DEATHSTAR look me up on face book.

Hello all.

Have been running PA 3.15 but decided to go back to the uber-stable null_ rom....4.2 back to 4.1. Everything is fine EXCEPT the gallery is full of system images/icons I cant seem to get rid of. I've tried deleting them but they just reappear. I seem to remember reading about this issue before but can not seem to find the thread
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ti325:
Well I solved this little issue. Somewhere along the line I ended up with a vrtheme file on my external sd. For some reason I could not delete with a file manager so I just yanked it and deleted it on the pc. Problem solved and lesson learned.

For those of you that aren't familiar with Plasti-dip, it's basically rubber in an aerosol can. It dries matte black in color and it's rubber, so of course, it's nice and grippy :). It doesn't hurt that it looks good either. And if you decide you don't want it anymore, it peels off like a piece of tape. It really is amazing stuff.

http://imgur.com/a/6AL5c

In the top pic, you can vaguely make out the verizon logo, but it's nothing a second coat can't fix.

I'm going to walk around with like I normally would and check out the wear to decide if additional coats are necessary.

I never thot about that haha I stay plastic dipping my maros hood but never thought about phone haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gtdtm:
Interesting. I just picked up the S3 and I feel like I have to hold it with two hands at all times so I don't drop it. I'll be interesting to hear how your fix stands up to day to day use.

how does it affect reception, if at all?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ricecake2000:
Looks pretty cool. What is the cost of plastidip compared to a stock back panel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
Nice work.

No drips and it looks very smooth with slight texturing.

Even though the S3 is smooth it's still has a little grip to it.

I liked the S2 textured back cover, as well as the grippy Evo 4G, but you seem to have found a nice diy fix ;)

Found this:

But you can search around for maybe a better price, and read reviews on durability.

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

I would say that rubber, silicone, etc. wouldn't affect reception at all.

Metal, aluminum, etc. would though.

Or metallic substances embedded in a substance which otherwise wouldn't affect reception.

You can find a can at Home Depot or Lowes for like 8 bux. Comes in black, white and yellow.

The one coat job didn't hold long. It started to pull up along the edge. So i'm thinking a quick spray around the edge up into the underside should secure it a bit better (might also fix that creak noise near the volume rocker :) ). The thinner the better so as to not obstruct the snaps. Will update when completed

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
did you spray just the outside of the back cover? i'm just a little worried of my battery getting a little hot and having the plasti-dip melt into the back of the phone... no issues so far? it is a great diy idea, and i'm gonna try it on my extended battery cover. i can't find a decent case at a reasonable price and the 6$ for a can of plast-dip is perfect.

BTW, being a NYer, i blow thru the soles of my sneakers. Plasti-dip +shoe goo= almost brand new soles...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] faehsemc:

Sometimes i feel like the back case + a little moisture turns this phone into a soap bar. Def looking into this. Good find!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] asianflavor:
Does anyone know how well this would hold up on TPU cases? Esp. the case you get with the ZeroLemon battery. Got the white case to match the S3 and it's dirty. Wouldn't mind p-dipping the black paint on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stupifier:
I wonder if the added grip factor makes it difficult to take phone in/out of pocket?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snowmanwithahat:
It definitely makes it a little bit harder, but not significantly so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] keynith:
Itd delicate without a thick layer. Good thing you can just scrap and respray if needed. Wears down fast
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] relaxedcrazyman:
seems like a interesting idea. i do like matte black
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HDKORP:
In regards to the peeling, it sounds like one key step was missed. Just as with any paint or coating that is added to any smooth surface, the surface needs to be scuffed (lightly scratched), so the coating has something to grab on to. It doesn't matter what the directions say. Spray on several light coatings, but allow each layer to dry. Then lightly scuff each underlying layer prior to adding the next coat. Apollo 1-2 coats less near the edges to allow tapering to the matching edge of phone. Allow proper drying/curing (2-3 days) after applying final coating before use.

What rom & kernel are you using? How much free space do you have? Just my opinion, but the best rom to run on a nexus is stock, unlocked and rooted. There isn't a bug free rom out there except stock and there's no need to overclock yet because tegra 4 games aren't out yet.

Don't need to boot for RUU. Put your phone in bootloader then plug it into your pc. Should change to fastboot usb then just run the exe file. If that doesn't work you may be looking at a replacement.

I was wondering if anyone knew the exact diameter of the the camera on the One. I was thinking about ordering this lens kit from photojojo and was told it would fit so long as the camera was smaller than 9.38mm diameter.

The HTC site says 22mm I believe, but I found another spec indicating 9.3mm. Could anybody shed some light?
[One (M7) Accessories] Acetherockr:
The specs on the HTC website advertise a 28 mm lens. Unfortunately I'm not incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to lense kits.. Maybe search for one that works with the Droid DNA? I think they're the same lense size.

Link: http://www.htc.com/us/smartphones/htc-one/#specs
[One (M7) Accessories] jmbillings:
The 22/28mm size you're both quoting is likely to be the focal length of the lens, not the diameter.

If the add-on lens kit specifies *diameter* then just measure it with a ruler ;)
[One (M7) Accessories] tehelmo:
Looks like it fits pretty well according to a review on phandroid

[One (M7) Accessories] slntdth93:
it fits - but the lenses kinda crop out a bit of the image (you get a circular crop for the telephoto and wide angle ones; fisheye too but it adds to the effect)

That and you do lose out on nfc as the antenna is located in the plastic ring around the camera

Hi all. I recently rooted and flashed to the new super nexus rom. First and foremost, I absolutely love the rom, with the exception of one problem. I can't seem to get the GPS to work now. It worked perfectly on gingerbread w/ touchwiz, but now when I enable it, no GPS is available. The icon no longer shows up in the status bar next to the signal strength like it used to.... regardless what application requests the GPS. And I installed a GPS data app to prove that there is no raw GPS data and no satellites. I'm really between a rock and a hard place here. I've formatted everything and reflashed the rom to no avail. I would really really really appreciate some troubleshooting assistance. Oh yeah, other guys in the forum running super nexus say they're GPS is working fine. Again, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vindicoth:
Hello Gentlemen. Sorry to disturb you with a noob question but I cannot solve it for the life of me and I have tried everything I could find on the forums. I have an Aluratek Cinepad AT107F. I have successfully rooted it. I have full super user permissions and I have no problems deleting any files or folders EXCEPT one directory. Let me explain the situation.

I recently did a firmware update and it included brand new APKs for Youtube, also added Google Play Support, and added Angry Birds.

I am unable to update Youtube to the latest version. It gives a "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again.".

So I attempted to do just what it had asked. I rooted just to do this. I tried removing it with Titanium Backup, I tried Root Uninstaller, I tried Root Explorer, I tried deleting using the "adb shell rm" command. I still get a "Read-only file system".

Even though I have root and granted root access to Root Explorer, I am unable to change the permissions for this /oem/apps/ directory. It's on the top level of the internal memory. I have no external SD card.

I've spent 10+ hours trying to figure this out and I'm sure someone knows something that I don't and can fix this super easy. I'm asking for your help, you're my only hope!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Your issue is that the update gave you modded files that the OEM doesn't want deleted. Most likely do to them not have permission from Google to do so. You will be hard pressed to find help here as we mainly deal with official releases and apks.

Am I in the wrong sub forum? Is there another forum at XDA-Developers that could help?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
No nowhere on the site really deals with unofficial android versions and knock of devices. Your best bet will be the OEM
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anotherguy19:
Read the error message again. The file is on a read-only filesystem. That is why you cannot delete it. In other words, you lack permission to write to the partition.

System partitions get mounted readonly to prevent modification. To remount /system as read-write,

Adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system

If you get "not permitted" error, your ROM's ro.secure means you cannot execute mount operations passed with adb command. So instead you must first open the shell,

> AdB shell

# mount -o remount,rw /system

Now you can delete:

Adb shell rm /system/file

If it is a directory

Adb shell rm -rf /system/dir

If you accidentally mistype that last command with a space beyween that first forward-slash and "s" you will have a very unworkable device....and that's why it is mounted read-only.

If the file is on a different read only filesystem, identify the partition the file is on and

Adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/id /LocToMountTo

You may have to specify the type

-t fstype

Adb shell mount

will tell you this

Don't forget to remount it as read-only (ro) when you are done
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vindicoth:
Well I can access /system just fine. The problem is the /oem/apps folder is not in the /system folder. It's in the top level folder.

/system and /oem/apps are in the root directory. I can change the permissions on /system just fine using Root Explorer, but when trying to change the permissions using any method possible, /oem wont change.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
This happens alot on Devices out of China and other places that sell knock offs. They make it so you cant delete their apps and if you do then it bootloops which only a reflash will fix.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anotherguy19:
/system and /oem are different partitions then

mount | grep oem

or

adb shell mount | grep oem

Will tell you what /dev/block/xxxx the /oem is on and if it is mounted as read-only (ro)

> adb shell

# mount -o rw,remount /oem

Ever get the feeling that you're writing in invisible ink lol?.. Eventually he will listen! You have great patience! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anotherguy19:
Referencing zelendel's post, the device could fail to boot because it is looking for the removed app in /oem

So you could try to remove it from being referenced by the startup scripts.

Try doing a search for files that could be referencing the apk you want to remove.

> adb shell

# grep -r AppName.apk /system/etc
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vindicoth:
If it bootloops then I'll just flash it again, but its worth a try isn't it? Thanks anyways.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vindicoth:
Thank you for your very helpful posts and willingness to help me possibly bootloop my device :P

when I type the grep command it says it is not found, so I will download busybox onto my tablet and try those commands.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vindicoth:
So after running mount | grep oem it shows this

root@android:/ # mount | grep oem

/dev/block/nandi /oem cramfs ro,relatime 0 0

So is it possible to change this directory to rw? I tried the mount -o rw,remount oem but it doesnt show anything after i input the command

[EDIT]

So it seems that the cramfs file system is read-only.
