RICE Tweak Apk Not Opening

Hi guys I need help, I've recently flashed Renovate Ice ROM 5.1 on my galaxy s8 and the tweak apk isn't opening, I've tried clearing the cache, force stop and flashing without wipe but still get "RiCE Tweaks has stopped working". Can't find anything about it on Google either, I'm fairly new to android and would appreciate some ideas or a fix! Thanks in advance ?
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
The card is probably irreversibly corrupted, and all usable data is likely lost. You can try the Sandisk SD Formatter Tool. Some data recovery software may be able to get some useful data, or parts of data, but it's like just trash at this point.

Sorry.

Try asking in your ROM's thread. They are more likely to be able to provide useful information for you.

Hi there,

Can someone give me some guidance on how to maintain the original created / modified timestamp attributes of all files moved from my phone to my Windows computer (and then back to a new phone) via adb pull / push? For system files and such, I make an Nandroid and then transfer the Nandroid - those files I don't need to worry about. I'm concerned with the files located on the sdcard portion of my device (it's not actually an sdcard, it's internal memory named /sdcard/ where data files, music, pictures, downloads, etc, etc, etc are stored.)

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
You can do the same thing. Namely, compress the files, then decompress onto the target device. If the device is bootable, you can do it through Windows. Zip the files using the fastest compression algorithm (no compression) straight onto your PC, then unzip them to the new device.
[General Questions and Answers] cognitivedissonance:
Yes, my phone boots fine, I'm going Nexus 6P to Nexus 6P. Just to clarify, are you suggesting I create a zip file on my phone with a file manager, adb pull it to my Windows computer, then adp push it to my new phone and unpack it with a file manager there?
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Yes you could do that, but it would save steps (and wouldn't require so much free space on your phone) if you create the zip on your Windows computer from source files on your phone. So WinZip (or whatever your preferred compression program is) will read your phone and put the info onto a zip on your computer. Then you just uncompress from your PC to the new phone. In other words, your source files and the destination zip are on different devices.

If this doesn't make sense, do what you just said! You can also test it with only a few files to make sure that it preserves all timestamps.

Issue with Taskers task service starting and stopping constantly

There's lots of things I use Tasker for, but one thing I really hate is when I use say Google maps or if I'm transferring big files with a file app, Tasker doesn't function properly even after I'm done with either of those tasks. On some occasions I even have to restart my phone just to get it to work right again. When I pull up the run log there are no errors whatsoever. However, the task service starts and stops constantly for several minutes which is what I believe the issue is. I have the app set to run in the foreground, I have it ignored in power setting on my device. So I don't know if it's a glitch or what but it's quite annoying. Tasker doesn't recognize when I switch apps and then after a while it's like it does it all at once. For instance it thinks I have the music app open when actually I had it open 4 apps ago, which probably doesn't make sense so if it doesn't I'll explain it in more detail. Hoping someone can help me come up with a solution. I'm running a S7 Edge by the way.

Thanks in advance

Phone is a note 5 n920c. No water damage. Idk whats going on. Cant be m9re than a year and a half old.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
I think the battery issues and the inability to make calls are likely unrelated. It's possible your battery has been damaged; the only way to know for sure is to have it replaced with another battery and see how it behaves.

What were you doing before you lost the ability to make calls? Have you checked your APN settings? Tried another SIM? Tried your SIM in another phone?
[General Questions and Answers] mattlikesandroid1:
Calls have returned to normal. Im on khongloi rom. I dont know ho2 the battery would of been damaged. Its always been in an otterbox.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Most likely causes of damage to the battery are exposure to excessive heat or cold, or overcharging. Having a bad battery due to a manufacturing defect is statistically not likely, but also possible.

Sony Smartwatch 3 - Shuts down after Sony Logo

Hi.

I hope that the bright minds of the internet can help me! :)

I was trying to install NFC on my Sony Smartwatch 3 following a github guide from LibreAlarm.

I tried to install the tetra_nfc_LCA43_0.2.zip from the watch.

Afterwards, the watch powers on, shows the SONY logo and vibrates, and shuts down. It keeps repeating this process, turning on and shutting down. I don't think it's the "bootlooping" issue, since i never get past the SONY logo.

If I hold down the power button, I can make it go into a mode where i can select: Fastboot, Recovery or Factory reset. I've tried them all. When in fastboot, I can't see the watch with ADB. After a little while, it shuts down and start turning on and off as before.

Factory reset does nothing but shutting down the watch, and then it start shutting on and off again.

I've tried to install the Xperia Companion, but it can detect the watch.

I've done a lot of googling, but I can't find anyone with the same issue.

Does anyone know a solution, or where to find help? Thanks a lot!

Best regards

Mikkel
[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
Not sure about Sony, but I know there were a few recovery screens on my Razr M XT907 (before I unlocked the bootloader). Try to Google Sony's recovery (presuming they even have their own). If you are trying to use Android's recovery, sometimes a device will quickly restart before you can even select anything and before the factory reset can be properly completed because the manufacturers recovery wants to take over. Yes in some cases you might find d 2 or 3 recovery screens on some Android devices, but only one will work.
[General Questions and Answers] AndroidLowBattery:
Thanks for the reply! I really appreciate the help :)

I think that I already have the Recovery Software from Sony (Xperia Companion): at least it's their own program, that is intended to do software repairs, updates and such. Is that what you mean, or are we talking some other type of SW? Unfortunately, my watch never shows up on Xperia Companion.

Thanks again! :)

Is there any way I can get either all K-9 Mail notifications for a specific address, or just all K-9 Mail notifications, to be fully expanded all the time? I'm on Lineage 14.1.

I've tried to run Nevolution but it crashes when I hit the (notification-)configure button. I don't have the play store so I was using a beta 5 apk from apkpure.com, is there anything newer than that?

I know there's an xposed module that expands all notifications all the time, but I'm on Nougat now (and I only want the specific notifications mentioned earlier anyway).

Hi everyone. I have a question regarding software development.

i just bought the Microwear X2 smartwatch, with 180 days battery life!

BUT, the software on this watch is horrible(by software i mean, the user face, how the menu is, what the buttons do, screen timeout, maybe Tasker support)

So it is smaller adjustments, but these adjustments would make this watch the perfect watch.

My question is this: How would one like me, with some android java app development experience and arduino, begin with this?

1. I guess i have to extract the software from the watch somehow or get the original source software from Microwear?

2. What language is normally used with this?

3. Is this possible if they won't send me the software from Microwear?

Thank you very much for your time and help.

I can not install apps any longer. I installed one from Play then tried (and failed) to install another 2 mins later and from then on I can't install anything.

Do you have an adblocker installed? You could try to disable it & reboot, see if that works. Maybe try to install the latest version of OpenGApps. Pico should be fine. It may be the Google Services Framework, or something like that.
[General Questions and Answers] interruptingcow:
No ad blocker. I have not got around to installing all that yet, just normal apps so far and supersu.

I will try that as a test. But would that explain why I can't install apk via adb?
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
It's unusual, for sure. You've surely read more about this than I have, but it seems to be something to do with Google Play. I'd think that installing an .apk from an unknown source shouldn't be of any concern of Google's and should be completely unrelated, but who knows?

I suppose you could also try uninstalling the update to the Play Store app. Even if it worked, it wouldn't be much of a fix, though, as the app would just update itself, again.

I came across something suggesting that this error could be related to signing or even the security certificates.

[General Questions and Answers] interruptingcow:
Ideally i don't want to reflash the ROM because the first time it failed and I was very close to toally bricking the phone (and myself). But if that is the only solution I will just have to.

Yes stock ROM (there is no custom ROM available for my model) with custom kernel to fix...some issue i forget exactly what. Weird thing is it was working absolutely fine one day then suddenly stopped.

• Why does apkmirror able to host proprietary Google apps, is it doing so legally?

• Are the wallpapers, widgets and special features in Pixel 2 proprietary? What parts of it's software is not opensource ? what components are proprietary or otherwise?

• Is hosting for download of (either proprietary or not,I don't know) stock wallpapers of various OEMs legal? I've seen Android Authority doing it, I didn't automatically assume it being so.

• What else do I need to know related to these things ?

My Samsung G530w (Galaxy Grand Prime) Randomly Vibrates

Everytime I watch a video listen to music or play a game on my Samsung G530w, after about 5 or so minutes my phone vibrates twice then once, consistently every 10 - 30 seconds for about 20 minutes or until I pull the battery. I have tried restarting it, and checking to make sure the SD card is 100% connected as well. When it first started happening I just turned off the system feedback in my vibration setting and it stopped the issue for about a day but it no longer affects the problem at all.

Q: is there a way to fix this without factory reseting my phone?
[General Questions and Answers] Unkn0wM3m3:
Hello XDA,

I've got a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, SM-N910T, trltetmo.

So, I've recently gotten into like customizing it with ROMs and kernels. I could not find a good ROM for my version(T-Mobile).

Although I did find a ROM that I liked, Resseruction Remix, which was an OFFICIAL version for trltetxx. I edited the script and flashed it onto my phone. The newest version was not working the best for me..so I downloaded an older one, again edited script and flashed it again. After a while, I tried put LineageOS (UNOFFICIAL VERSION) which was made for trltetmo (the one I have). I tried that and I did not like it just because it lacked some features that I wanted. Than, I also tried another ROM, Resseruction Remix, which is an UNOFFICIAL version made and edited for trltetmo. After all this, I tried them ALL over again. Eventually for some reason, my device's internal storage went from 32GB (32,000MB) to about 24GB ( 24,400MB) and I have no idea how or why... I pressed "resize" and "repair" in TWRP recovery and it did not give me any options and it did not work.

Can anyone please help me figure out how to change it back...

Thank you so much in advance!
