[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
I'm hitting a peculiar and annoying problem creating browser bookmarks on the homescreen.

I use Nova launcher in my rooted nexus 7 running android 4.2.2. I have a number of bookmarks in my Dolphin and other browsers that I'd like to place as shortcuts on my homescreen but can’t do it.

1. I can't do it by adding from the homescreen because "add bookmarks" only shows the Chrome bookmarks which I don't use and don't want to use.

2. If I try to add the shortcut by going to the alternate browser's bookmarks and tap on "add shortcut to homescreen" the shortcut gets added to the *stock* launcher homescreen instead of on the nova launcher homescreen.

Any suggestions? Is there another way to add a browser bookmark to the homescreen?

Thanks.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
I guess you must have the same problem.

I emailed the developer and he had no response either. So I am guessing it is a bug and he has not found a way around it.

Went back to adw which works correctly and actually is more customizable.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoCalArm:
I guess I better post the fix. Download chrome on the tele, than add your bookmark on chrome and than save the bookmark via Nova to the home screen and when you click on it it gives you the choice.of browser to open the bookmark with. I dislike chrome and I use dolphin

I believe the new update now allows you to use any browser for a bookmark on the home screen: photo

Thank you.

Which new update? For chrome or nova?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoCalArm:
Nova. My tablet shows three different choices for bookmarks while my note 2 just allows chrome. But wither way you can't go wrong using the chrome method

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philipkdick:
just to add....I too encountered this problem, switched to Apex launcher and works fine. So newer Nova works does it? I normally create bookmark by holding address bar and "add to home screen"
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
Glad I am not the only one.

The latest nova update (I think) seems to have added another bug. Now, when I install a new app, its icon doesn't appear in nova's app drawer (!) so I can't create a screen shortcut that way. Long pressing on the Nova home screen and selecting "apps" also does not show the recently installed apps.

Yet, when I go to android settings /apps, the new apps are there. So it is nova that just doesn't see them. Even after rebooting a couple of times.

When in disgust, I switched to adw launcher ex, the newly installed apps were correctly shown in the adw app drawer, etc. Returning to nova, no new app in the app drawer. So it is a nova bug. I'm not sure why some recommend nova launcher so highly. Seems buggy to me.

(The app I first noticed this with is "origami instructions" from the play store).

Yesterday I put some roms on my sdcard of the phone. I then installed and aosp rom but the camera didn't work so I installed Trickdroid 5.4.0 instead. Today I just went to put a different rom on the sdcard and I noticed that some of my folders were missing that I added. There is a folder now called 0. That's it, just 0 and all my folders are inside that. There are also some of the same folders in that folder on my root storage with the same exact name but empty. Wtf? Anyone have any idea how that happened?

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] shook187:
Same exact scenario with me I'm confused. TWRP recovery doesn't detect my old backups cause of the Damm 0. I'm still trying to sort this out. I don't want to deal with /sdcard0 then have all my new pictures or files being stored at a new location.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] unremarked:
Gogogo copypasta:

0 is intentional. Android 4.2.2 added the ability for multi-user support, and it divides up the internal storage accordingly. "0" belongs to the first user, "1" belongs to the second... so on and so forth. Pull what files you want to keep out of the 0 folder and onto your computer then delete it. As long as you stay on pre-4.2.2 ROMs, it won't resurface. Even if it did, it's not that big of a deal since that's where we're heading anyway with Android development.

Good afternoon

Guys its there any way to install SG4S parts like weather widget on New JB update?

probably there is a way, please let me know

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ddochi11:
Weather widget is not a SGS4 "part". It is a widget.

I don't know which weather widget it is, but you can try finding it in Play store and download it.

Or, see if someone in SGS4 forum can help you extract the app.

Hi,

are you referring to this link http://www.o2online.de/o2/kunden/technikundeinst/xdasoftware/xda2update/index.html ? The statement O2 posted there about the non availability has been up for at least 4 weeks! I have never seen it being available and I did check just about daily.

I had a replacement Xda II with 1.66.01GER delivered which worked fine. I did not notice any differences between the previous Xda II with 1.60.52GER installed and the 1.66.01GER.

[Asus Transformer TF700] nex86:
Sometimes when I just surf the web or install apps from the play store, the screen turns GREY all of a sudden and the device becomes unresponsive and freezes.

I experienced this 4 times already.

I have not rooted it and run the official 4.2.1 Firmware.

I already made a factory reset after the third time it happened, but it keep happening.

is this a known issue or should I send in for repair?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
I had that issue a couple of times when i was on ICS and i'm sure that other users also reported this but i don't know what's causing it.

I don't think you need to RMA the device,most likely is a software issue .
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Are you saying the whole screen goes uniform gray? No pictures, no text, just one grey surface??

Or do you mean the screen dimming when a new web page is loading? The latter is a new feature of the 4.2 browser. Supposed to save battery which is think is boooogus.
[Asus Transformer TF700] PAPB0007:
There is a post "Transformer White Screen Freeze" that is similar. The only conclusion so far seems to be that it only occurs in portrait view no one matter what version of android or rom you're running.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ariadnejro:
That issue is software related and seems to happen on stock roms. It can happen anytime, often after rotating the screen from landscape to portrait. The screen turns grey with a black strip on one of the edges and after some seconds the device reboots.

I'm on CM for a week and I haven't had this issue again, I had it several times on stock roms including CROMi.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
It's a graphical bug that only happens in Portrait mode. (Which explains why I have never seen it.) Happens to everyone on Stock. (if they use portrait mode, that is.)

This tablet was never actually meant to be a portrait device. (As evident by the location of everything...). Though that is ofcourse no excuse.

Last week I downloaded Facebook Home for my device. It allowed me to use it, though told me that it's unofficially supported at the moment. The other day I factory reset my phone. Now when I go into the Play Store I cannot find Facebook Home, but when I go to My Apps it says 'Your Device is not compatible'...

I'm at a loss, as it allowed me to install it the other day?

I'd like the button to be closer to the tip. I have to keep sliding my finger back to push the button, or use my thumb. That pen is cool though!

Adapt Sound for any of you guys that didn't know makes the sound quality 20 times better. I listened to a song in the Samsung music app and then listened to the same song at the same volume in Winamp and it sounded terrible.

I'm trying to find a way to make adapt sound global, because I absolutely hate the Samsung music app. I'd much rather use Winamp or Poweramp because of all the extra features.

It'd be AWESOME if someone figured out a way to make adapt sound global and put it into a custom ROM, or even made a MOD out of it.

Edit: If you don't believe me test it out for yourself. Go to Settings>My Device>Sound>Adapt Sound, once you get there do the little hearing test, and then play a song in the samsung music app.

Does equalizer app work universally for you? Granted with some eq adjustments, it seems to lower the output level, but I'm still curious if it fixes your issue. Yes, you will have to disable or freeze the built in eq app in touchwiz, for it to work properly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Hilari0:
I might have stumbled on a clue towards applying Adapt Sound globally or with different music apps.. I was fiddling around with it the other day, and then I was testing the Samsung music app and Google Play Music. Of course, music played through Play Music did not enable the Adapt Sound.

However, when I was listening to a song in Play Music, I thought I'd open the Samsung music app to try to run a comparison, and as soon as I opened it, it applied the Adapt Sound to the music that was playing through Play Music! It seems that when the Samsung music app opens, it enables the Adapt Sound regardless if it's actually playing anything or not, and simply keeping it open in a second window (I'm on a Galaxy Note 3) kept the Adapt Sound enabled! As soon as I closed the Samsung music app, the Adapt Sound was disabled and the sound reverted to the default. Perhaps this may give a clue on how Adapt Sound is applied through the Samsung music app, and perhaps make it possible to make a widget with a button that can enable or disable the Adapt Sound feature. :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lvnatic:
Any news on this? Maybe a similar app that does the same thing and works on all apps, or a root method to apply Samsung's feature globally?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] theormex:
I hope this is not too late :0

There's only one complicated way to use adapt sound globally... I'll try to explain as good as I can.

You WILL need a rooted phone to make this work.

There's an equalizer app called ViPER4Android, which doesn't only have kick-ass features, but also has a built in "convolver"

So what's a convolver? Basically it lets you simulate effects on audio. It works by having an audio clip, and and another one which has effects on it (in our case adapt sound) and comparing them together to see what changes occurred

You basically take a sine sweep (an audio clip that goes from low frequency to high), and record it paying on your device with adapt sound on (connect your phone to your microphone port by a 3.5mm cable)

Then you import these two clips to an app that can generate convolver presets (Aka impulse response samples)

The result you get is a .Wav file that you put on your phone and select as your convolver presets. And that's it!

What's even more kick-ass is that Viper4android works on neutron. So you're basically combining them three together. You can even think how this sounds.

Hope you found this helpful!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] rainabba:
I'm looking for way so replicate the benefits of Adapt Sound (as it works on the Note 7) on my Nexus 6P. The key to adapt sound is the way it creates a profile based on my subjective input (testing my hearing with a given set of headphones; this varies per headphones even). The rest of the eq's and fx processors out there are gimmick to me becaues they are TOTALLY subjective and/or just fluff. You hit the nail on the head with your post; a convolver that is based on the profile created by Adapt Sound. Can you explain more how you have acted on that idea? Ideally (and I might have to try this with Pro Tools), I'd run a sweep on the Note 7 with my profile, record out out the headphone jack, then compare to the sweet and I'd get a diff I could feed to a convolver. If I understand you right, I would do just that, then Viper4Android (which I don't know much about) could apply that andn give me the same effect on my Nexus 6P?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] maxnah:
Same idea... I think it can be do next simple way- there is several apps like audiologia.pl that is can make yours audio metrics to left and right channels. All we need to do next it's manualy change eq. setting in V4A or else to normalize sound... BUT there is NO 2 way (two channels L/R) or two different equalizers to left and right channels. Maybe someone can give me information why it is so? Mayby it's hardware impossible?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Zibri:
Adapt sound is a killer feature of samsung phones. I miss it in any non samsung phone I have.

Well if the hardware is the same but with stock android, you can bet roms from the Google Edition will find their way to the current version (i9505 most likely, but who knows, maybe it's octa this time around) as well and will work just as fine.

It's actually good news for those with the same version of the hardware.

I`ve got an LG MyTouch Q (C800) which was network locked to T-Mobile, i`ve flashed the latest nightly CM9 (doing everything by the instructions), and now the phone can`t connect to any mobile networks. Looking for a solution i`ve found that you can flash a stock baseband to solve this, but everytime i flash this stock baseband image through CWM recovery nothing changes - no network connections and baseband still shows "unknown". IMEI is the same as on stock ROM.

Removing the sim card doesn`t bring "emergency call" option and there is no "no sim card" sign in the tray, and the phone acts like it has a sim card in it when trying to connect to a mobile network it says that "Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later".

Flashing back to stock ROM solves the problem - i have a baseband number and emergency call works but the biggest problem still exists - it`s network locked.

So the question is:

Am I flashing correctly this stock baseband through CWM recovery or I am doing everything wrong?

P.S.

I can`t post in the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1752704 and instructions on stock baseband flashing were sketchy at best.

PROJECT DISCONTINUED DUE TO LACK OF DOWNLOADS AND LACK OF POPULARITY.

What's up Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III users. I'm Exit_Only, I am a scripter from the Android Hacking section. I put together this package cause MD4 is NOT 100 Percent Odexed like it should be. This package will add most of the missing pieces to make MD4 System apps and Framework jars all odexed.

This zip will make MD4 99.3% odexed. I manually odexed each apk and jar file by hand and re-signed each apk and jar archive. This zip will also fix /system/app and /system/framework permissions once you flash the zip.

So why in the world would I want to odex a rom you ask?

There are many benefits to odexed roms...

1.) More space in your /data partition...

2.) Smoother dalvik execution...

3.) Faster boot ups (Much faster vs Deodexed)

4.) Just an overall smoother experience!!!

Requirements to use...

1.) Must be rooted...

2.) Must have a custom recovery...

3.) Must be on bone stock MD4 4.1.2 JB...

4.) Must know how to flash... duh

Directions:

1.) Download Complete Odex below...

2.) Boot into recovery...

3.) Flash package...

4.) Reboot

5.) PROFIT!!!

Is the difference really that noticeable though? I mean, deodexing does make things slower, but we're talking very small times here, especially on multi-core devices

I'm fairly sure that if you benchmarked the loading times, you'd find that the difference is practically insignificant. On single core devices that had less ram as well, it might have been problematic there, but I doubt the same can be said about newer devices like the S3
