I need to get GPS for my car but I think an Android phone with something like CoPilot would be better than a dedicated GPS like TomTom or Garmin, because of free and frequent updates, multitude of functions etc.

So I need something with big screen (at least 4"). I was thinking of HTC Deside HD due to the large screen and relatively low price, but I am curious of alternatives.

Is it possible to install a custom Kernel if I am already rooted and running a custom ROM (Resurrection Remix)?

If went through Mobile Odin and it said I have no custom Kernel and I want to boot one.

If so how?

Depends on what works for you, flash them and find out. But ive heard good things from GB27.. but not everyone agrees
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
The latest release is usually the better, these are all jelly bean roms, all started as leaked builds with GB27 becoming official Samsung update.

Any bugs or quirks that where present in leaked builds will usually be corrected in the final or official release (GB27).

If looking for stock reliability, this is it GB27. :thumbup::)

Ya my friend has the bionic and told me about Dans work. I was like I thought he retired, but I guess thier was a jackpot of almost 1k and some change, and Dan came out the wood work and won it and throw in the xt910 with the initial bionic root as a thank you.

Now so ever one knows he is not gonna probably ever make another exploit again and he clearly said make sure future reference never lose root again and if you buy a new phone make sure it is unlocked or unlock able this way you won't have to worry about root ever again.

I been installed this root hours ago and I confirm it to work. Make sure you don't have any security app in stalled or any app that requires root as well when doing the exploit cause it will cause conflict and not work. But after trial and error I got root on the xt910 4.1.2 jb. Thank you Dan. And if anyone has a question about it pls feel free to ask.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaimo:
Hey guys, wondering if you could help me. I'm running Jelly Blast V-3.5, with Rafaels Kernel 2.6.35-7 on my S5380i. I've been trying to increase the internal storage on my device by partitioning my 32gb card in CWM with a 1gb ext. I've tried every solution I've found on this forum but I simply cannot get it to mount. Link2sd yields 'invalid argument' no matter where I point it, and when trying to format/mount the ext. in CWM it just says 'apps 2 sd partition not found'.

Here's a list of the things I've tried which have failed to solve this:

Partitioning in minitool, with various sizes and exts, and setting the partition as active.

Flashing conrod script, doesnt seem to be effective.

Script to mount sd-ext at boot, followed iamareebjamal's guide found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1971689

S2E

Mount2SD

I'm completely at a loss, and with the internal storage of the S5380i being what it is, it would be great if anyone could offer me any advice.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SohamJ:
do one thing , I'm recovery check if sd-ext is mounted

it used to happen to me that when I flashed new roms I had to mount sd-ext from mounts and storage

so mount it then reboot your phone

go to link2sd and create mount script as ext4

if problem persists , go in storage info of link2sd so see if the partition is mounted

if not you will have to enable auto mount at boot ( if option present in rom ) or mount using terminal emulator
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaimo:
Thanks for responding.

Attempted to mount in CWM but just receive an error. It's as if the partition isn't there at all. Re-partioned the card but still, no luck.

My rom doesn't have the auto mount at boot option, so it looks I'll have to mount with terminal emulator. Could you run me through the process, or point me towards a guide? Cheers
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SohamJ:
what error did you get in cwm while mounting ?

yry this line in terminal

mount -o rw /dev/block/

mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext

also is mount2sd file present in your /etc /init.d folder ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaimo:
The error in CWM when attempting to mount is: 'Error mounting /sd-ext!'

'mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext' in Terminal Emulator yields the following line: 'Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory'

The mount2sd file is not currently present in my init.d folder as I restored my phone from a backup, though when it has been there, the error in CWM is still the same.

The only difference I have noticed is that when partitioning with MiniTool, Link2SD will say that the partition is not mounted, but when partitioning with CWM it will say that the partition is not found.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChelebiTech:
Did you format ext2 in the secind partition? Normally when you format with cwm, first partition is fat32 and the second partition is ext2. Try to format all available space to 1 partition and using cwm format the card to two part. May be partitioning before makes cwm recognize the wrong part and gives error.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaimo:
Ensured all the space on card was unallocated and partitioned in CWM recovery.

Attempted to mount /sd-ext again and still receive the following error: 'Error mounting sd-ext!'

Attempted to format /sd-ext and receive the following error: 'No apps2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext'

Tried so many different ways/combinations of partitions now. Do you think it could be a kernel or rom issue?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChelebiTech:
Make sure you have backed up all your files in your sdcard they will all be deleted and recreated with two partition.

In CWM enter Advanced --> use Partition SD Card

Set your second (ext2/3/4) partition size then set swap to zero (0).
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaimo:
This is exactly what I've done, countless times. It simply will not mount. Really struggling to understand this problem.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChelebiTech:
Using a card reader enter your sd card to a computer and test if card has a problem or partitions are correctly created. If your answer is yes you may have a misconfig on your phone. Make sure u have the latest busybox available, have rooted your phone correctly, vs...

Or create your partitions in computer and try...

Ps: I created my partition in Stock Rom. So it must NOT depends on kernel or rom...
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaimo:
Partitioned with CWM again. Plugged in to laptop and in MiniTool and this is the result:
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChelebiTech:
That unallocated space is your problem. Try to create an ext2/3 partion with mini tool. And if minitool gives error than you probably have a defected sd.

And one more suggestion try the cwm in rafaels kernel thread.

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freeks:
good day fellow razr i owners,

my razor i (91.2.26001.XT890.Retail.en.EU) is behaving very strangely since it got it back from support with a new mainboard. Sometimes it just freezes or crashes, and when I reset it, it's often bootlooping around the flashing M-Symbol with a little clicking sound everytime it starts over. I can get it to boot up if I keep resetting it, shutting it down, starting it again aso. I can get into fastboot and even then it's not certain that it boots up afterwards. I managed to get into recovery mode with a process log that started to overlap the lines of text. Sadly I can't manage to get that again for further troubleshooting.

The easiest thing would be to send it in, but I've already done that only to get it back with the comment "couldn't reproduce the problem, upgraded the firmware".

Since then I try to reproduce the crashes so that I can proof the defect even to a service team that starts it up, sees it works, shuts it down, flashing it and sending it back...

Crashes and/or Freezes can appear when I'm handling it or not. When I'm browsing with Chrome, using the camera, use Google Now, play Simpsons Springfield...

Sometimes background processes stop to react spamming me with messages like "the process com.google.process.gapps isn't answering" -> OK (translated from german)

Since these problems started after a motherboard change after a brick (downgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.0.4) I'm thinking it's a hardware problem.

I tried to create a logfile with adb shell dmesg > log but only got "klogctl: Operation not permitted"

It seems to start more reliable when not used for a while after a crash (cache clearing?) and it seems to crash more often when plugged in

factory reset seems to work for a while but after 2 days at most it keeps crashing/freezing again

I would love a fix for the phone, but I don't think there is much I can do when it's really a hardware problem so next best thing would be a way to get a error log, that I can send the support with my device as proof that there is a problem and all that obviously without voiding the warranty...

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi,

I have a Black Lumia 920 purchased from Nokia store in India. I do not see any option of enabling LTE/4g in the settings. The max I see is a setting to toggle between 3g/2g under Mobile Networks.

I'll be traveling to the US in the next couple of weeks and would like to use LTE on a local network while I am there. How can I activate the LTE bit on my phone?

Any suggestion on best US carrier for LTE for a prepaid connection?

Thanks
[Nokia Lumia 920] klcow:
If you bought your phone outside the US, its most probably the RM-821 (international variant) which does not have support for LTE in the US due to different frequency bands used. 3G will still work though

Regarding the toggle for 2G/3G/4G/LTE, its varies according to region, Nokia sold the 920 in some regions with LTE disabled and only released a 4G update for the 920 when LTE was enabled by the local carriers. You could try checking for an update in the settings to see if an update is available for your phone. If there's none available, you could flash a 4G enabled firmware by looking at the development section for steps.

Hope that helps :)

sd card is not damaged just corrupted. Everytime this happens I need to repartition.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jay-z-s:
That card is not usable any more if is corrupted, we call that a "damaged sd":D:p(and if happens after reformatting)

Best way is to try another rom to make sure sd is ok or not.

But but there's a way to trick android (your phone, your risk),

do this: (this will stop "checking for errors" error & makes phone more stable {this file also repairs partitions so it's 50/50 for working})

Remove or rename file(rename to keep a backup is better ) " fsck_msdos " from this destination :

System / bin ------ > restart & then reformat sd from recovery ---->bootup
