1. reboot system now

2. apply update from sdcard [NOTE: I don't think this will be possible b/c of the errors below.]

3. wipe data/factor reset

Should I try any of these?

I found a thread where someone had the same error message as me: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2270364

And the advice for fixing is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1447303

It involves setting up an external SD card to act as an internal one by partitioning the card through CWM. I have no idea how to get into CWM. Maybe I'll still play around with it to see if I can salvage something, but I think I'm going to get another phone to use at this point.

Thanks for your help!

i am searching for a link for pie controls with the expanded desktop option.ive been googling and found nothing too useful.paranoid android has a nice one but i dont want the rom i just want a flashable zip for my stock set up.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
You can get pie from the market. It is called LMT Launcher. As far as expanded desktop. I am not sure...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
If you can't find it in the market, search it here on XDA.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keion:
GMD gesture control (play store) can remove your navbar.

Also disables your wallpaper though.

Conclusion: Man up, and install a custom ROM.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Maybe because I don't like custom roms I like to keep it stock
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
If you like stock then you wouldn't like PIE controls. If you want custom stuff then you use a custom rom.

It really kills me when people say they want to stay stock but with customizations. These are nexus devices. All custom ROMs are just stock with built in options. Where do you think the source code comes from... *hint* it's stock source from Google.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I love how people intrude with their sarcasm.....no sh%$ its built off source code its also built off a persons own customizations on how they want things right? I want my nexus to be the way I want it to be not the way everyone else is getting it.if you are a recognized developer you would know such things,correct?you do what you want with your tab and I do what I want with mine.any questions,please pursue me at 807 kolani drive wailuku,hi 96793

You were given options. Take them or leave them. But for the love of the flying spaghetti monster in the sky, don't whine, complain or try to act like an Internet bada$$ when you get butt hurt from someone's response. It is childish and moronic. Either take the advice you ask for or not. But you can gtfo and do it yourself if you got a problem with people's responses.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Ugh... this is getting ugly:(.

podagee... you can't have it both ways... either pure stock or custom... take your pick.

My own

ROM of choice

has PIE/Expanded desktop options, but is reasonably close to stock in all other regards.

If you want these features, then custom is the way to go.

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Westervoort:
There is absolutely no need to install a custom rom to enjoy pie and expanded desktop.

-> First install the most recent version of LMT Launcher http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330150 . Set it up any way you like and set it to autostart on boot. (Tip: make sure there is a menu button in your pie.)

-> Second edit your build prop. You can use a build prop editor, or droid edit, or es file explorer or any other text editor that can handle root files. You can find your build prop in /system/build.prop . At the end of the file insert the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 .

-> Reboot and it's done. This is how I used pie when I was on stock.

Now I switched to cyanogenmod, which has build in expanded desktop, so editing the build prop isn't necessary anymore. I still prefere LMT over cyanogenmod's pie though.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Nobody said anything about fighting.and BTW I asked about pie controls not Roms get it?a simple question and you guys give a stupid answer **** it close this thread,cause what I wanted was help and instead some know it all asshole jumps in with idiotic remarks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Gedblake and westervoort thanks.simple like that is how its supposed to be not nitpick at bs.I however managed to add pie controls almost exactly like paranoid android,almost.it turned out really nice so it is possible.I don't like custom cause I've been running into issues with battery and freezes. So I am just going to remain stock,but,remember it is possible to do whatever you want,even if stock.thanks guys.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, podagee...

Yeah... sorry for for the slightly irascible post. Guess it's all about relative perspective's - from my point of view, the easiest way of accomplishing your desired goal was to flash a ROM... but Westervoort knew of a way that obviated that need, which I didn't know about.

As I have said elsewhere, 'not everybody can know everything'.

Anyway, glad you found a solution (whatever that might be) that you're happy with.

Good luck...

Rgrds,

Ged.

Turn on server on phone 1

Stream using the app from phone 2.

[HTC Amaze 4G] test84:
Hi,

I'm still trying to find a ROM that I can use for my daily usage. My main problem is that almost all the ROMs that I flash fail to detect my ext_sd folder, a.k.a. my external SD card.

When I flash an ICS ROM and go to the file explorer to install titanium backup and restore my apps, it says that this folder is empty.

Sometimes when I restart several times, it finds my SD card, sometimes I have to flash other ROMs to have it but it's OK in some ROMs like CM10 but eventually it losts this folder as well.

Since I'm S-ON, I can't get back to GB ROMs.

SD card may be problamatic but it's OK when I mount it via attaching cable to phone or attaching it directly to my PC with a SD card cartridge.

What could be the problem? How I can check that SD card is OK?

Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] test84:
Let me add this that if I open back of my phone and remove and re insert the SD card, it gets detected but it's cumbersome.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Hassaan.W:
Use a root explorer to go up to root and instead of ext sd go into sd card 2 folder. Should be there
[HTC Amaze 4G] test84:
Thanks for the reply but I don't have such folder.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Hassaan.W:
Do you have "storage" folder?
[Java for Android App Development] drinfernoo:
I have been a Java coder for about eight years now, and am curious about getting into Android app development.

I am winding if there are any tutorials that just dive into actually making apps besides your basic Hello World app like the Android Developers one does. More useful stuff, like fragments and such, that are actually going to be practical to use and teach you more than just how to make a button retrieve and send text.

Any ideas?
[Java for Android App Development] :
Well if u say u noe Java then I suggest you go to the devloper abdroid website ...

Its a pretty decent website and understandable if you know Java...

Gud Luck !
[Java for Android App Development] Acela1230:
I would say go and watch thenewboston's later tutorials and TwistedEquations has some pretty good things with fragments and some other more updated android stuff features. Other than those two things I would just think about what you want to do and look it up on StackOverflow since they pretty much cover every question you might have. You can also just go to the android reference page to find out what methods are available most are pretty self explanatory.

Also you should probably update to Android Studio, if you haven't already because it seems like Google is going for some pretty deep integration with it that will make life much easier.

Hope this helps you out
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
I really like Vogella's tutorials: http://www.vogella.com/tutorials.html
[Java for Android App Development] coolbud012:
Using Android Studio since last 1 day or so...Didnt like it much..Seems to be more complex than Eclipse. Also able to open only one project in one window, no project manager like used to be in eclipse where we can manage all projects simultaneously.

Also the cltr + shift + f shortcut to arrange the format of XML not working... Frankly didnt find any advantage over Eclipse till now... But I'm still in getting used to it because I know I have to develop apps on it only because I always like to work on latest stuff...

If you have any tips or feedback then I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
[Java for Android App Development] 13th Dev:
Hey I am struggling to get started, other than hello world I haven't done anything yet. I think I should use the developer.android for learning (because it's official). But still please tell me what to do there. Should I start with the api guides and read all of em one by one, or should I start with the training tab on the website, but then there are many things there that I don't understand well. Idk I'm confused. There's even design part apart from development, should I start with that or that should come after development? Help me with a good ide too, eclipse isn't that great and android studio seems laggy, I hear intellij is the best option right now (and android studio later when it is completely developed).

I had completed my java tutorials way back, I don't think I have a problem with java.
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
I would not start with the official site. I spent some money on a great book (which is just available in German).

The official site is more difficult to understand than many other tutorials like the ones by Vogella.
[Java for Android App Development] drinfernoo:
I was thinking of grabbing Android Studio, but I'll stick with eclipse for now until it's a little more developed. I started on eclipse, so I'm familiar with it.

It seems like after that first Hello World tutorial, all the official ones are "fluff". Do u really need to know the lifecycle right up front, even before I learn how to actually make an app?

Sure, I get that the lifecycle is important, but if all you have is a lifecycle, with no app on top, that doesn't make sense.
[Java for Android App Development] drinfernoo:
WHOOPS :)
[Java for Android App Development] jetx2x:
I myself started 7 months ago... The official guide is a valuable resource... But readability is horrible... I typically dig around it... Then look up implementations and further explanations else where... Usually stackoverflow

Taptalked u see ... əəs n pəʞlɐʇdɐʇ
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
It is important but you will not need it at the beginning for very simple apps as long as you do not want that everything is shown properly after an orientation change. Start programming and learn it by doing. ;)
[Java for Android App Development] coolbud012:
Understanding the Activity Lifecycle is must. You can watch its tutorial available on Youtube by Marakana...It will explain you everything needed in 1 single video...rest you will learn with experience.
[Java for Android App Development] drinfernoo:
This is what I meant :) I understand that it is an integral part of making apps work as intended and expected, but it seems like it's something I'm going to have to learn to utilize sometime later down the road of development, instead of right straight up front.
[Java for Android App Development] Acela1230:
Actually you should learn that pretty early. Its easy to understand

Think of it like a video game:

On create is when the game is first started

On pause is when you pause the game

On resume is when you unpause it

On stop is when you turn the game off

These are the main methods of the activity life cycle you need to know. You would setup your activity in the on create. In the on pause you would save variables the user entered (android saves certain things automatically). In the on resume you would call those variables back and refill the fields with them. On stop you would close anything that may be running (alarm, music, video) as not to take up resources from the system.

This is important because android pauses activities when orientation is changed so the user would lose all their variables if you don't save them even if they accidentally went into landscape from portrait.
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
Good explanation. :good:

For handling orientation changes check the onSaveInstanceState method.
[Java for Android App Development] Zatta:
Cool Tapatalk sig you have there :P

Taptalked u see .. əəs n pəʞlɐʇdɐʇ
[Java for Android App Development] drinfernoo:
Understood. My point is that the official tutorial spends more time showing off exactly what you posted than actually showing how to make an app complicated enough to take advantage of it.

EDIT: And I pretty much understand the concept and use of having the correct lifecycle, just looking for more now.
[Java for Android App Development] Acela1230:
Yea the official tutorial is really just to show you how to use eclipse with the SDK.

The rest is kinda left to you to do. Its a matter of thinking what you want to do and then doing it. Most tutorials just explain how to use the methods provided in the api. If you had an idea of what kinda app you wanted to create perhaps we could point you in the right direction.

I recommend adding api demos from the sample apps to see how to do most things in android. Since you said you know java reading through the code in this shouldn't be to hard to understand.
[Java for Android App Development] jetx2x:
I saw it... And couldn't resist... Lol :p

Taptalked u see ... əəs n pəʞlɐʇdɐʇ
[Java for Android App Development] Acela1230:
Ah ok, so all the stuff available for you to use is shown in the tabs in the graphical interface of the XML. You need to give each thing an id and then in java its always the same form

ItemType variableName = (ItemType) findViewById(r.id.givenID);

ItemType is the same as the item type in XML.

Then you'll have to import that item type. All items you can add listeners too and they vary by type. Eclipse is good with showing you what listeners are available for each. You can view what listeners and other stuff is available for each type by putting "variableName." and waiting a sec for eclipse to load the available stuff.

You can also do layout programmatically with stuff like layoutParams and other methods. I don't know to much about this because I find it easier to do from XML.
[Java for Android App Development] drinfernoo:
Gotcha. I pretty much get the layout via XML, but I'm going to have to get used to using Java to take input from stuff in the XML. I'll get there, I suppose. I totally don't get Fragments, though, and haven't found a very useful example or tutorial yet, just on how to set them up.
[Java for Android App Development] jetx2x:
Fragments are simple... I'll point you to an app I started but abandoned... Lol... It was my first time implementing them... https://github.com/jetx2x/AndroidDevelopementNation

I'd point you to the various tuts... But it was months ago

Taptalked u see ... əəs n pəʞlɐʇdɐʇ

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clay_cauley:
I have searched high and low for an answer to my problem for the past 5 hours. Haven't found a solution or guide on XDA or anywhere else that can help, so I am making this post as my last effort.

I bought an unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus off of ebay knowing that it was stuck in a boot loop. I figured it could be fixed. I may be wrong.

I AM ON A MAC The pictures have Windows but I am running Parallels and it sucks.

--------

Ok, so here is my problem lies, when turning the device on normally I get this screen:

I get this for a few seconds, then it goes away, vibrates, and comes back ..... over and over.

I can get to both Odin mode and Fastboot:

This is no problem.

I even managed to get CWM on the phone and to come up:

My issue now is that I can't get ADB to work .. Wugs ToolKit won't work ... Galaxy Nexus ToolKit wont work ... nothing.

I can't be 100% sure that USB Debugging is enabled as I can't get past the Google Logo.

Is there anything that can be done to save this phone ... or is it a fancy paperweight?

I have an N4, I just bought this because the seller had no clue how to fix it, and it was a good deal. (not to mention I was planning to use it as a dev device for apps and such)

Thanks everyone!!!

Yes it does, but only in fast boot.

Other things I found:

-My battery is full. When I plug it in it shows it's charging then shows me battery life, shows full.

-When I turn it on, it gets stuck at Google screen

-When I go into fastboot my computer recognizes it, but after flashing anything to it, it just continues to be stuck on the Google start-up screen

Update since I've written this post... when I plug it in, it wont go past the 'showing that it's charging screen" I have to wait till it shows battery status before I can go into fast boot, and now it wont even do that... neat. Headed home, then i'll swap batteries and try it all again.
