[General Questions and Answers] Complete Idiot:
GOOGLE Dev Wallet. Tax information question.

Hi :)

im pretty confused.

im in UK and make apps pretty much for fun and to learn.

ive made about £4 because i made a couple of apps 50p to see what happens in the developer console.

now in google wallet i see:

"Tax information required

Tax regulations in the US require that Google have complete and accurate tax information for our customers. Such forms are required in the event that a payee is located in the US or whose content is sold in the US. Please update your tax information in order to get paid."

is it worth doing this?

what is this "tax form" they speak of?

am i signing up to something bad?

if i "sign" that form to declare im not a US citizen what does it do and who does it go to?

whats it all about? im just a simple idiot.

basically: if i continue to make a completely paltry sum of money on google play, will i have to do anything / answer to anybody / deal with annoyance?

ill just make my current apps free if its not worth engaging in all of this for the minimal amount of money it represents.

im really not good with bureaucracy and cant focus on all of this as much as i would like to at the moment. any help would be appreciated.

im here to party :cowboy:

rooting basic query... sony xperia E/international capabilities

hi all. i'm a newcomer, though ive been reading up and down this site for days now and have bookmarked a bunch of discussions. i think i know the answer, but being a cautious, learning-as-i-go newbie, i wanted to double-check:

rooting won't ruin my device's international (cdma/gsm) capabilities, right?

ive just ordered the sony xperia E -- should be arriving wed -- and im set to do a basic root on my mac. just want to get rid of the bloatware, optimize battery usage, and make it a leaner machine, and obviously im doing a ton of research right now.

thanks!

Tablet is lagging badly

I rooted my ICS based tab today (1.2 GHz ARM Cortex A8 Processor, 512Mb RAM, Dual Mali 400 GPU). I freezed some bloatwares using System Tuner Pro (I think there are still some I could not freeze).

The reason I rooted my phone was that I wanted to my tab faster by removing bloatwares. But it seems that what I have done so far has not made the tablet any smoother.

I noticed that the CPU usage spikes high (50-100%) a lot of times even though there are no heavy apps running. The tab lags badly and takes 3-4 secs to respond to my touch input a lot of times.:confused:

Please tell me what apps I can use to make my tablet responsive.:angel:

Thanks a lot!:good:

Reboot when charging with CM11.0 for Galaxy S4 LTE-A (GT-I9506)

I have installed solk2's excellent port of CM11.0 for Galaxy S4 LTE-A (GT-I9506) LINK. Solk2, great job, thank you!!!

One problem: When the phone is shutdown (not sleeping, actually turned off) and I insert the cable to charge it, the phone boots all the way into CM11. Normal behavior would be to show the charging animation but otherwise stay off.

I am guessing the problem is to do with the ROM as:

The problem did not exist prior to the custom ROM ie with stock ROM

After installing the custom ROM and got the problem, I went back to stock and the problem disappeared

I have wiped cache/data/dalvic as some threads suggested AFTER installing the custom ROM, but no difference

Suggestions?

Hard-bricked with dead bootloader Samsung Galaxy Pocket (GT-S5300)

Hello,

I posted this question here because there is no official thread for my device.

You can see the original files that I used for the partioning from this website, as well as the other links : llll://xxx.skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=F968213B88AADBF5!127&authkey=!AH0DTuPbDvUS7s4 (Note: Because I cannot post outside links, please change llll to https and xxx to www)

I live in Sri Lanka, and apparently it is not official in my country. The Samsung Service Center does not support my phone, as I bought it from another shop.

I followed all the instructions in this guide : Links in document in above link. Everything went fine, and it said that it had finished partitioning 512 MB from my 2GB Internal USB Storage (My 16GB SD card was inside the phone as well during the time of partitioning, but it was not partitioned and works fine when inserted it to my SD card reader/writer). it came back to the screen that said Re-boot into recovery mode. I pressed the reboot into recovery mode, and the screen went blank. After that, I could not boot it normally, and also into recovery or download mode. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Pocket (GT-S5300). My phone was rooted with by flashing (I do not have that file, and the Dropbox download link was lost), but my phone worked perfectly after that with no bugs. It ran on Android Gingerbread (2.3.6) and out of the 960mb of internal space, about 880mb was full.

Note : The old links are no longer there and are dead. The only place to get the files is from the attachments adn the link above.

I would appreciate if anyone could help me.

[General Questions and Answers] Lord AJ:
I think you should first check if anyone else using the same rom is also facing such issues on the rom thread. Also this might have happened due to a small error in the kernel (if its a custom kernel, that is) in a feature that was intended for power saving or fast charge. Try contacting the rom developer as that could prove much more helpful.

Edit: I noticed that your question has already been answered well but I'll let this post remain in case someone else faces such a problem.

[General Questions and Answers] steve8x8:
So this changes the overall situation a bit, if I get it right you flashed a wrong ROM onto your device (which changes the signature *some* ROMs do check before starting)? If you cannot modify the system properties anymore, you probably will have to modify the right ROM's updater-script to *ignore* the test (it's usually the first line). You will have to re-sign the package, or convince your flash tool to ignore the bad signature, somehow - that's beyond my capabilities, but if you succeed I'd love to learn how things went. Thumbs up! :good:

wakelocks in CRom-KK-v7.1

Hello,

I am new to xda-developer. I have downloaded the the ROM KK-v7.1 for my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 and after installing google+ I found it draining my battery and creating wakelocks. There is also an option in the ROM under Settings->Advanced Settings to scan for media on boot. Once that option is selected that also creates wakelock. I tried using wakelock blocker available in the ROM and blocked the following processes

1. fingerprint_scanner_local (for google+)

2. MediaScannerService (for media scan)

But even then the wakelock is not removed and the battery drains out in 2-3 hours. Previously the wakelock blocker used to work fine in other ROMs. I have tried Resurrection Remix, Paranoid Android, etc. but somehow I am facing problem in this version. Am I missing something? Please suggest. Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Hi, I was wondering if Ubuntu touch is available for the nexus 5? And if it is, is it as easy to install as a custom ROM?
[General Questions and Answers] Lord AJ:
The answer to this depends a lot on the format of the file that u download. Of its an apk just install it and go to launcher settings and select the theme. If its another type of a file search the op for instructions or ask the person who has made the post. Usually rar and zip file icons need to be used by selecting one picture and setting it as an icon unless its a flashable zip.

Hope this was helpful.

Wipe and reinstall

Hello!

So, after installing CM Ovation 10.1.3, I find that my storage is already over half full. Because of all the "playing" I've done with different versions of CM, I believe that most of the storage is being taken up by "Remnants" (APK files, etc...).

I've tried the factory reset and wiping cache's, but it doesn't seem to make a lot of difference.

So, what steps will I need to perform to COMPLETELY wipe the drive and start Fresh (nothing left from previous installs)?

Since I'll be installing from an SD card, can I wipe the partions? Will the CM install restore them? Or would that "Brick" my HD+.

Thanks again!!

Lan
[General Questions and Answers] MaHo_66:
You should mention what recovery and what device you have in order to be helped in better way!

these partitions are safe to wipe and wont brick your phone!

- wipe data factory reset

- wipe cache p. and wipe dalvik cache

- format system/format cache/format data

- format /storage/sdcard1 (this is your external sd card and is optional to format)

- format /data and /data/media (/sdcard) (this is your internal memory/sd)

now install CM and enjoy :cowboy:

You have to flash recent TWRP or PhilZ recovery for SMT-310 with Odin. After that you can flash SuperSU zip in your new recovery and you will be rooted forever ;)

LG Intuition VS95022B

Hello. I currently have an LG Intuition. It has the 4.1.2 update on it. I was able to find a software that allowed me to root this device, which was awesome. I have read that this device doesn't have a stock recovery system. I bricked my last one and couldn't revive it so I had to order a new one. I was wondering if anyone knew of any type of recovery that would work on this device? So far my favs like TWRP and CWM do not support this device. I cannot seem to find anything else and feel that I am not looking in the right places. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Avast is excellent, otherwise to clean up nasty trojans etc use Junk Removal Tool

EDIT: look, in this thread is recovery and Odin:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2619518

You need to flash with Odin (run it as administrator) the TWRP recovery as tar.md5 file. It belongs in Odin under PDA. All Kies processes (if the crap is installed) must be killed with Task Manager. Samsung USB driver must be installed well / your Tab found as hardware. Reboot Tab into download mode. When you connect it with PC, Odin must display ID:Port number and "Added!" in status bar. Then you can click on "start". Recovery will be flashed in 5 seconds.
