Nabi 2 Gapps

My apologies if this issue has been brought up elsewhere, but I'm hoping to get some help. I purchased two Nabi 2 tablets recently and have been trying to get the Play Store (or gapps) installed. I followed the instructions here and on a YouTube video. I was able to get it to work perfectly on the first tablet, but I can't for the life of me get it to work on the second. I get to where it reboots after supposedly pushing recovery and gapps, but when I go to install, there is no gapps.zip. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

No, I have my Droid DNA Rooted with S-Off

I loaded the ROM for Slim Bean (4.2.2) onto the internal storage as a .zip file.

I used CWM recovery to install the new ROM

After doing a bit more research, It seems my ROM is mounting the wrong point as my internal storage

Keep in mind, the DNA only has internal storage, no SD Card slot, so its important I get it right.

/mnt/sdcard

/mnt/shell/emulated

These are the 2 folders that I am dealing with.

/mnt/sdcard is the "new" internal storage folder being created by this rom

/mnt/shell/emulated is the original internal storage folder with my data.

I would move everything over, but here is the tricky part..

ClockworkMod Recovery, Fastboot, all still mount the original folder as my /sdcard.... Its just this new ROM that is not mounting the directory properly.

I wish I could ask these questions on the forum post specific to this ROM, however I do not have enough posts yet to ask in that forum.

Essentially I am just trying to find a way to change the rom so it loads a different folder as internal storage at boot time.

I have been told I may need to modify my vold.fstab, is this correct?

That just might be it. Look for a line that starts dev_mount, then includes something about sdcard & mmc. Post the contents of that file here, if you want help analyzing it. Also, you might want to take a look at whatever scripts you have in your /system/etc/init.d (or /etc/init.d) folder

Does anyone have a good guide that explains the difference between ROM, RAM, Internal Memory, External Memory, etc?

I really want to understand all of this so that I can better assess and troubleshoot problems. I also want to be able to figure out the answers to the following:

I want to understand why I'm seeing my Bionic file system listing an sdcard when there's no sdcard. That's internal memory, right? Why is it showing as an sdcard? What happens when I put in an actual sdcard? Does my phone think there are two cards? Where are my apps stored? Are the apks on the same type of storage as the data, settings, cache, for each app? Are pre-installed system apps, their data, settings, etc stored the same way that user-installed apps are? Should I be looking into having apps and data on my sdcard?

HELP NEEDED

Hey, thanks for looking at this.

I just got a

Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition

and I'm using T-Mobile as my carrier.

My question is this: To install a aftermarket firmware distribution, such as Cyanogenmod, do I follow the instructions for the Stock T-Mobile Galaxy S4? The kernel should be the same (which is why Samsung is sending me the Android OS updates), so I don't suspect anything to be different, but I want to take precaution against bricking my day-old $700 phone.

Thanks! :D

ROM=read only memory or in the wonderful world of Android basically firmware such as CM, PA, AOKP, etc.

RAM=random access memory temp data storage for running apps

Internal memory= internal flash chip for storage

External memory= sdcard/USB storage basically not built into your phone

Your filesystem shows an sdcard probably because there's a virtual one mounted for media, downloads, etc. If you insert an actual SD card it will probably show up as "sdcard1" My phone has a virtual sdcard at /storage/emulated/0 and /storage/emulated/legacy they are the same but different apps use different ones to access data on the virtual card.

Your apps are stored in internal memory unless you use app2sd to move to an SD card and as for the data for the apk's that depends on if you moved them to an SD card or not. If you have a lot of internal storage its best to keep them on internal as some features of the app won't work if the phone is connected to a computer because the computer has the sdcard not the phone. If you run low on internal the move to SD card

[General Questions and Answers] roan.util:
ROM and Kernel, device specific

So, I've been reading up on ROM development. Something that I can't get past is that from what I can tell, Android should be able to run on any device as long as the device has an Android kernel that is compatible with that version of Android. The kernel is what interacts with the hardware, and the OS shouldn't have to deal with anything device specific to speak of.

So, if that were true anybody could easily compile AOSP source with a device's kernel and boom, you've got an AOSP ROM for that device. But reality doesn't seem to hold this up.

Can anybody explain this better for me?

my phone does not complete the boot

hello,

(spare with me if am posting this in a wrong place, as this is my first time am trying this out)

well now to the problem i flashed to lolipop while i had CM11 running in my phone nexus 5 and at the same time i did have multirom installed,but while flashing to lolipop i had no secondary rom installed else than CM11. I did successfully install lolipop and it was running good. but lately i did notice that i was not able to accesses my sd card files which i had them before flashing. now let note this here that the script which had to be flashed i edited that script by deleting "-w" else which could wipe my data which i dint want so i went with this. but then i was not able to see my previous files on sd card using es file manager app and i was even not able to see any music or image file either. then reading a post on xda i tried to wipe my dalvik cache and cache but it even dint help then i tried to flash the zip file of multirom uninstaller where i did come to no that the sd card in not giving the permission to write any thing either via usb or bluetooth. then i tried fixing the permission by going to teamwin recovery and after doing that my phone now does not reboot completely i mean that the screen where the four colouring balls rotating before the word android pops in, there the four balls keeping circling for nearly 30min yet there was no progress. then i thought flashing the original script of lolipop with out editing i mean with "-w" but after flashing it via adb using command prompt at last when the flashing complete the phone should automatically reboot and go to the welcome page of lolipop but here there was no booting after the completion of flashing process rather the boot loader screen remains there still. and in the command prompt there was an error msg which i have attached a screenshot of it. and then i manually asked the phone to restart but yrt the boot animation screen of the four balls remains for long.

this is the problem i am facing please help. and sry for writing it this long :)

Hi anyone who can help,

Right where do I start?

I have a mt15i, back when I was new to this lark (in many ways I still am) I buggered up flashing a ROM without unlocking bootloader! So the phone just vibrates and does not boot.

I have scowered the Google gods looking for a fix for this and have tried PC companions repair to no avail it does not update, iv tried flastool reflashing a stock rom and kernel to no avail, it just won't complete to process.

I feel I have tried everything as I can't find any other fix for this.

Can anybody help me please?
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
Wth? Way too many steps for all that. With multirom and flashable lollipop you just needed to go into multirom twrp and flash it. You also need to make sure you read through whatever devs thread because in order to get lollipop to work with multirom and root in general there's steps that need to be taken. Lollipop out of the box is a very secure ROM. It sounds like you have soft bricked your device so I'd wipe it and start over. Flash your lollipop, add multirom and then add your cm11 as a secondary ROM. It works great of you know what you're doing. I'm running the same setup on my nexus 7.

I thought you could just do it from on your phone even if your phone is currently on a stock ROM;

1) flash recovery .zip file

2) flash ROM .zip file

Is this correct?

If it is, what do you have to wipe first?
[General Questions and Answers] harshhemnani:
If the recovery is a zip file then you can try flashing it....(it works for some phones, not all. It worked on my Samsung Galaxy ace)

For flashing it, go into your stock recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache and then install the recovery.

For the ROM wipe cache, dalvik cache and data and then flash the ROM

Lobox Superior MTK6589 white

Hi!

Last week my sister bought her first Smartphone, which is a pretty solid one: Lobox Superior MTK6589 white.

She already set up her phone and installed some apps, but now she wants to get rid of those annoying ads, which some apps have.

Yes, I know, she needs AdAway but she can't install it, if the phone is not rooted.

I have managed to root my tablet last year (GoClever Tab R70) and to be honest, that was a pain in the ass, but luckily I managed it somehow. :D Now my question is:

Does anybody know how to root this device (Lobox Superior MTK6589) and is there maybe an easier method to root it, than using the command prompt and installing some "custom" drivers on the PC?

I have seen a large rise in noobs and others handing out bad advice in here lately. I tried for a couple days to correct bad info but it was ignored and people had their problems, so I gave up.

I give some what vague advice but it's only because you learn nothing if it's spoon fed to you, so I give you a starting point and encourage reading and learning. That mixed with doing are the best teachers you can have.

But I agree that I doubt anyone is trying to be malicious; they just think they know what they're doing, and they don't.
