hello I have a question that may seem dum but through trial and error many times I realized asking the questions before actually doing stuff when it comes to android mods is best anyways I just flashed a rom code name Sammy to get a touch wiz experience and before I did that I did a nandroid backup through twrp recovery and I really want to go back to what I had before the rom or even try a different one like smooth rom but I wasn't sure if I could just restore from my back up or if I need to flash something differently all together to start over thanks for your help
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, johnfred1987...

No, there's nothing you have flash before you start over.

Prior to a Nandroid restore in TWRP, I prefer to wipe Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data and System - although be careful with wiping System; ensure you have either a flashable ROM .zip or a Nandroid backup on Internal Storage first.

If you wipe System without either one of these to fall back on, your Nexus 7 will have no bootable OS; just TWRP and the Bootloader. Although not an insurmountable situation, its a pain in the backside to recover from:(.

You only really need to wipe System if you're flashing a new ROM... although if you're upgrading a given ROM from, say, version v1.0 to v1.1, you can generally (unless otherwise specified by the developer), 'dirty flash' it over the top (although I still like to clear Dalvik and Cache).

Generally, though, all you need to do is 'Swipe to Factory Reset'... But whatever you do,

don't touch the FORMAT DATA button

, as this will wipe your Internal Storage, including any Nandroids, ROM .zip flashables, Titanium backups and whatever else you have stored on the Nexus.

Good luck.

Rgrds,

Ged.

Hi to all,

I've a chinese smartphone named Vivo Xplay, Android 4.2.2 and it has an AMAZING weather apk, with faboulous widgets!

Unfortunately this apk has only chinese cities provided and I cannot use this app cause other cities are not avaiable.

Also if you select "Set weather with your current location" doesn't work.

I get the app rooting the device and extracting it from system folder.

Is there anyone that is able to edit this apk and add international weather provider so this will be used in every place of the world?

If there's anyone can do this I'll give the app. I think it will be working for all devices after that.

I'm sure it will be useful for many people here.

Thanks in advance!

After flashing correct stock JB rom for my device and restarting I receive message com.googleapps stopped and then when I'm trying to continue with settings wizard, every time I receive SecSetupWizard stopped.

I finally managed to get into system by deleting SecSetupWizard and SetupWizard apps, but message com.googleapps stopped appears every time and there is no market and other apps on phone.

What I just found is that when I go to storage, there is Total space: 0 on device.

Can this be because of bad partitioning? Can somebody post me correct partitions on working JB rom?

Yes, I*did all possible wipes, factory resets and formats :)

I'll check this, thanks!

Meanwhile I found out that there is 100 % problem with /data partition mounting. If I mount it manually I*can see in storage setting that there is now available space. Problem is that when manualy mounting with same options as are in fstab, I'm getting sigsegv from mount command. This is probably reason why it is not mounted and source of all my troubles.

If I remove one of options from mount command, it is working (don't have phone just here and don't remember which is it, it is something performance related).

I'm not sure if there is something with internal flash or if there is some trouble with mount command (I*tried also more recent busybox with same outcome).

Now I'm trying to use init script to mount /data partition. Maybe it will mount in right time, I*will see.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagoban:
Hi guys,

so I'm having my Defy for a while now and just installed the multi boot on top of CM10.1

Now its bricked, meaning doesnt continue after Motorola logo.

I know that there are several tutorials out there, but all with different stock roms so my question is,

which rom should I use?

Its a German Defy green lense (MB525)

Bootloader (vol up+power) shows:

Bootloader

09.10

Basically I never flashed any rom with RSD, it was stock froyo, 1st with CM7.2 and later with CM10.1 so the original BL version should still be the same.

If possible I'd prefer not to burn Qfumes or whatever they are called...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 86b:
Please help me,

Phone is having problems, started out this morning when I woke up. I restarted my phone and all of my apps in the folders got all dumped out of their sorted folders, not a big deal I thought I will restart my phone again to see if that helps. After I restarted my phone again, I got all sorts of crashes and force close message and that got me in a loop where after I force close it, it tries to run the program again and goes back to crashing in a loop. Mainly TW launcher and some other start up apps.

I researched online and followed instructions on how to wipe the cache in recovery mode and try to see if that helps. That didn't help at all. After exhausting all options, I have decided there is no other choice but to do a factory reset on my phone. I cannot have an nonoperational phone as I have to make and receive called throughout the day for my business. After I factory reset my phone, it reboots in like normal except for a few problems. The home button doesn't work, the lock screen PIN doesn't function, and the power button menu only has power off option.

Isn't the factory reset suppose to bring my phone back to when I bought it new? Those problems were not there when I first bought my phone. I did not flash in another rom, it's on stock rom but only rooted before.

I searched and found this thread,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1246439

My knowledge on Android cell phones isn't as advance as needed to follow those instructions. Is there another method to fix those problems, or can someone help me with plain English.

Thankyou

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
Seems like a corrupted firmware to me, if you want to go the easy way, we follow here, try flashing a new stock rom via Odin(you will have to read and follow instructions carefully though) , if you want to go the Samsung way you can use Emergency Recovery in Kies (easier but slower).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GamingDj:
Last year this happened to me too.But a Factory reset solved everything for me.Try via Odin,and flash XWLP7 firmware(search on Sammobile,it's android 4.0.3).Then do a Factory reset again.

Thank you both of you for your advice and help.

This phone never cease to amaze me, today my phone decided to be in a good mood and every problem I mentioned in my original post has been solved by itself. I can skip re-flashing my phone for now. I have now switched to Go Launcher instead of using the TW Launcher, hopefully it's more reliable and I wouldn't have to do a factory reset again and potentially bringing those problems.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidec:
Just bought a Xperia tablet Z and am having problems with it remaining connected to my WIFI. It's updated to the latest software release.

Initial connection is good and shows good signal strength and works as normal. Periodically the WIFI then disconnects and shows "authentication problem" against the network and most often needs a manual connect to regain the connection, even though occasionally reconnects by itself after 10-15 seconds.

When the WIFI network disconnects I have to manual reconnect (the error message is "authentication problem" ). Once I have reconnected, the WIFI works OK for a short while (3-10 mins) and then i get the error message again.

If I restart the Xperia the problem goes away for a relatively longer length of time however it soon comes back ( after 30 minutes+).

I have many other devices connected to the WIFI during this period all of which work fine. WIFI analysis shows excellent signal strength - the tablet drops the connection even while two feet away from the router - and good signal to noise ratio. Looks like a bug in the firmware to me.

Any assistance would be good.

Note: there is a very similar thread here Sony mobile forum from which I have copied a lot of the info as I am having exactly the same problem

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanyunis:
Well i used to have this issue, it was very annonying. Definitely the problem was not the tablet it was the router. The problem is that usually all the routers have the channel value set to auto, so if you put it on 9-10, and restart the router, you won't face this again.

I did that and so far the wifi is stable for my tablet, and even my Macbook seems to have a better connection.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidht:
I experienced the same problems with both my tablet and phone (XZ). I got better switching the channel in the router. However, now it's solved. The solution came when I got FTTH installed at home and my ISP replaced my router. Since then, no more wifi disconnections. So I guess the problem was in the router.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twincharger:
Same thing here, plus WiFi performance seems to be particulary weak with this tablet in general. I get three "bars" only when I'm right next to the router. When I'm outside on my porch (about 10 meters from the box and two walls inbetween) I get merely one bar and WiFi drops or simply "stalls" after a few minutes. I already set the router to a fixed channel. I have this problem only with the Sony tablet, our other devices (Thinkpad laptop, Iphone 4S, SGSII and SGSIII, iPad 4) all have a perfectly fast and stable connection even in the "porch scenario".

I really hope Sony improves this with the next firmware update! Any hints besides WiFi repeater, which I already ordered? ;)

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GretaLewd:
I've had my Tablet Z for about 10 days. In that time I've used it with my WiFi at home and at work ( WiFi tethered to my Nexus 4). In both cases, I've never been more than 3m from the WiFi source. In all that time I think I've dropped the connection only once.

I've watched (streaming with WiFi) a few tv programmes of about 1hr each, and they have played without a problem.

I've just used an app called WiFi analyzer to compare the signal strength on my Nexus 4 with the Tablet Z at different places around my house and the signal strength is the same on the phone and tablet.

So, as far as I can tell, if you've got a decent WiFi signal, you should have no problems.

I've used both CM10.1 and Sony stock ROM (.370) over that period (mostly the Sony ROM).

I have established the static IP addresses for all my wireless and wired devices and it seemed like it worked but after a while my laptop started losing connection again.

When I ran d-link WBR-1310, I've had all kind of problems and since I replaced it with Netgear WNR3500 I have not had a lost connection yet.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Good Guy Mark:
has anyone found a concrete reason as to why the tablet either drops the wifi connection or there's the authentication problem?

my tablet was dropping the wifi connection so i changed the router's channel to 9 and it doens't drop the wifi connection after that

however (i dont know if this is related) my tablet turns off the wifi radio when the screen is locked for a longer period of time even when i keep stamina mode off (although i read it only turns off the data connection radio) and i set the wifi radio to always be on even when the screen is locked

also after changing the router's channel to 9, i get the authentication problem ._.

EDIT:

If anyone would be willing to share, what authentication method and encryption are you using for your wireless network? And does your tablet keep a stable connection?

I'm currently using WPA-Personal with TKIP encryption and i come up with both dropped connections and the authentication errors. (trying to diagnose this in hopes of not having to return my device because it's defective)
