How do I get past "parsing error" when I try to install a third party app?
[General Questions and Answers] Cod3AlchemisT:
Parsing error occurs when apk file is damaged ( due to incomplete download ) or if it is incompatible to your OS ( like installing kitkat applicaton on ICS )

Try redownloading apk file if it says its compatible.

Thanks a lot! :D

You can go to the root explorer/ data/ app

If you don't find the apk there you could flash the stock firmware

Hello.

Am I the only one having problems with WiFi and unexpected restarts/reboots? When my WiFi is on and my phone restarts (most of the time, due to crashes on ROMs), I can't connect to the WiFi network I was connected before the reboot and I have to restart the WiFi router itself. I have observed that this issue mostly is to be experienced on a home network (I haven't experienced reboots on places with WiFi network anyway). I experienced this on 3 homes in the past. My siblings also experience such problem. We're all using Xperia phones.

Is this a normal issue or is it an isolated case? Or is the service provider to be blamed?

Hi,

I've installed Omni Rom on my Ascend P6, and the only issue I appear to have left, is that if I install an app from the Gapps store via my PC and the web browser, it does not install on my phone.

It says it's installed on the PC interface.

Any ideas?

Go to this site:

and find your device's model and follow the instructions, most possibly there must be a mirror to your firmware with in the instructions.

It is impossible not to be able to find your firmware! When I googled the words xperia firmware this was the second option from the search results.

Did you downloaded the sony support software and did you use that one to help you download the firmware? Can you boot in to recovery? Did you follow the steps properly?

Mounts2SD not working

Hello!

I have 3 partitions: FAT32, EXT3 (label - sd-ext), SWAP. I installed mounts2sd, busybox. I do all settings in the app. After reboot my device (OS: Android 4.0.3), nothing changed in m2sd (not work and no log). Settings are all ok. After reboot, my m2sd resets configuration.

What do I do wrong?

So this is bothering me. When I go to highlight my E-mails on my HTC One (Running ARD 10.3) the top bar which gives you the options to delete, archive, etc gets half way "filled" transparent blue, basically the color you get when you select an e-mail. When I do the same action on my N7 (Stock everything) it does not. Is this a common thing?

Thank you for your help and input.

> LG Optimus L3, L5, L7 > Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development > [ROM][L3 E400]ICS 4.0.4]FUSION XPERIA (Update 17-06-2013)

Hi all,

After two years receiving from the dev community, finally can give something back.

From comments in above dev forum -

erikrecca asked - Does it work with sd merge?

IchigoBleach -> I've never tried sd merge?

erico458i -> Hope someone tried it with the SDmerge and give a feedback that it works.

I just installed your 17-6-2013 rom, as Step3 of SDmerge, and all good. Have 1 partition again.

Put up a file: "attime.atspace.com/SDMergE400_on_17-6-2013_mod.txt" to read about How To.

Also just solve this -> In low light my phone flickers on/off during call so can not use number pad for prompts (v.annoying).

FIX: attime.atspace.com/E400_Disable_Proximity_Sensor.txt

Cheers, Lloyd

*Please pass on to the dev IchigoBleach if you think it's hepful.

iPhone convert

Hi guys,

I've joined this forum after purchasing my first ever Android device. I was previously on my iPhone4, which I loved but got bored of. It finally died after some serious abuse (water damage, cracked screen twice etc etc).

ANYWAY.

As my first android phone, I bought a CHINA branded phone.

The phone is a STAR N920E with Android 4.2.1.

I've recently rooted the phone using the OneClickRoot, which was simple enough. Now I was to play a little more, but have something questions:

1. As I understand, once rooted, one can replace the existing ROM (which is basically the OS...right?) fairly simply?

2. Only phone specific ROMs can be used? For example, I couldn't use another China phone ROM on my phone?

3. I must us a program like MTKDroidTools to backup the existing ROM and reload the new ROM?

4. If the incorrect ROM is used on my phone, it's basically trashed??

Any other help, tips, advice and info would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to learn as much as I can. I've tried googling but all the articles I read are pretty confusing (mostly because they refer to non-china phones).

Thanks!

Factory Reset / Wipe and Flash ROM

Hi Guys,

I am very new to this forum and also not an expert in Android. Sorry if the message/query was not supposed to be here.

I have a really worrying query for all of you Android Experts.

I have a Samsung S2 handset, recently I upgraded to RR Kitkat Rom following the steps as below.

- Upgraded the CWM Recovery

- Full wipe and factory reset

- Cache wipe

- Dalvik Cache wipe

- Flashed ROM using latest ClockworkMod recovery

- Flashed Gapps

- Reboot

But recently while doing Nandbackup, I saw the system was backing up some files for games which I installed long long time back on my JellyBean OS and Which I never installed again on Kitkat.

After this I went in the ESexplorer and did a search for the file and found a folder /mnt/data.. (something similar) which had all sort of old files and ended up clearing over 1.2 GB junk. Also found few files in other locations which I deleted manually.

My worry is even after doing Factory reset, clearing all the Cache and Even flashing new ROM. How did these files stayed. Its just luckily I found them or this junk had been left there for all life of the phone. In future if I need to do a full clean reset how do I go about it ?.
[General Questions and Answers] Canvas 2.2:
Whenever you install a game or app

It's data files are stored so that you can continue it from where you left.

Flashing a new rom only changes the non accessible memory that's the EPROM (a type of memory)

So the files saved in internal memory were not deleted..

If you want to delete the orphan files...

I know no other way than manual delete

:)
[General Questions and Answers] sravi1:
Thanks for the quick reply. But for a non or less techi individual, its difficult to decide which files to delete and from where.

Is it possible or ok to delete ALL the files (from internal SD, living if any) manually before flashing the ROM using CWM recovery, So the new flashed rom will be fresh and clean. Will this create any problems for booting the phone into CWM mode ?

help me please for my fame s6810

sir do u have any idea to recover my origanal efs and nv_data.bin.? please help me sir im not familiar in nvdata editor and hex editor... :(
[General Questions and Answers] MaHo_66:
in addition to the answer of canvas,

after you have flashed a custom rom, in the setup wizard you get to choose whether you want to restore apps and data from google's backup, that could be the case in your situation why these old files are still on your system..

this is how a full clean reset looks:

-wipe data/factory reset

-wipe cache partition

-in mounts and storage --> format system - format cache - format data, to be really clean :D --> format /data and /data/media ( /sd card) your internal sd card

-wipe dalvik cache

-reboot
[General Questions and Answers] sravi1:
Thanks MaHo,

So the -in mounts and storage --> format system options I need to explore.

Good to know will make a note of this and hopefully should have a clean upgrade in future.

[General Questions and Answers] Lord AJ:
Canvas 2.2 missed one thing which is factually the solution to your question. These files can be found in the. android_secure folder and the Android folder in the sd card. Although android secure contains files for currently installed apps, the Android folder has a lot more data which can be deleted using any fike explorer.As for. android m_secure, just open it through a pc and you'll see lots of files out of which you can delete those that you don't want.
[General Questions and Answers] Canvas 2.2:
You can delete only the files in data which you know are useless like games or uninstalled apps ....

Don't delete all coz they even contain android os files!!!
[General Questions and Answers] sravi1:
I don't have android_secure on my internal memory, it shows on external and is empty. Where as the Android folder is there and it does have few old and new files and folders, looking at the old its not much in size below 100Mb. So as of now I will live with it.

In future will make sure I format everything before flashing the rom, shame can't flash it now as spent almost a day setting up things and tuning it to my personal choice.
[General Questions and Answers] Cod3AlchemisT:
It is hidden folder; you have to enable " view hidden folders" , it is named ".android_secure " . Go ahead and delete it. It contains data of apps you moved to SD card so make sure you dont have ANY apps moved to sd card or they will be uninstalled.

If you still cant find folder , connect phone to pc and delete aforementioned folder.
[General Questions and Answers] Cod3AlchemisT:
Here's a pic of folder:
[General Questions and Answers] Lord AJ:
As I said you'll have to use a pc to view the files in the android_secure folder as the permission to access that foldet is unavailable to the user coz the sdcard partition doesn't support permission changes. Some extra info - the Android folder usually contains files that are downloaded from within apps like the asphalt cache downloads. Also this folder is not included in nandroid backups so free space here only if your sdcard is out of space.

I have a htc one m8, and a system update come along. I just rooted my phone and put twrp in the boot loader. When my phone downloads the update where is it stored and am I able to flash it myself. Any help is appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] Lord AJ:
DO NOT EVER TRY DELETING THIS FOLDER. Whenever an app is moved to the sdcard, this is where the app goes. Deleting this folder could be disastrous. The option to show hidden folders only shows the folder name and not its contents. Also please don't recommend anything that you're not sure of on the forums as a newbie could take you for serious and end up harming his device.

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

As far as I know the location. storing updates is different for different devices and the manually flashing the update is not possible too. Though I say this but its not necessary that this be 100% true for your device. You'd be much better off searching your device forum for the most accurate answer.
