Hi guys.... well, just happened to buy a note 8. It is 3g version, but for now Ill use only wifi features.

The question is... when I try to install whatsapp, it gives me that message that I can use it only on 1 device (primary account in my S4 actually)....

I searched all the web, and only found methods that didn't work...

Any hints someone?

Activated my HTC One yesterday and I love it so far, huge upgrade for me coming from an Epic 4G. I'm having an issue with the Compass Warning notification though, at least I think that's what the notification icon is (compass logo with a line through it). I have the Compass warning option in the Location setting unticked, but it seems to have no effect.

Any ideas guys? :confused:

I have a non-labelled 1gb sd, it works ok, and costs less (in fact it was the only 1gb in the store). I think they all come from the same factory, only the label changes. As the mini uses 1.1.usb, you can't get any advantage on 40x or 60x cards, so i suggest not to pay extra for that.

[HD Mini General] Quentin himself:
Hi guys,

I have just collected a screen-broken HTC HD Mini from a friend. On WM, it was working perfectly but since I've installed Android on it, the screen is acting weirdly : the whole screen is scrolling by itself (the notifications bar too!) sometimes in a endless loop sometimes just a little but there is something else :

For pressing a button (for example), I have to press on the surface where the button should be and not where it is currently (after random scrolling).

I guess it is related to the broken screen but it was perfectly working on WM, therefore I would like your opinion and maybe a possible fix :)

Thank you,
[Motorola Droid RAZR] XtorT69:
Using safestrap I have installed 3 different 4.2.2 custom roms. Always doing a system/cache/dalvik wipe as instructed in the how to guides. But when I boot up and set the phone up from scratch I go to the phonebook and all my contacts are there but some of them are repeated up to 10 times. I can't seem to do a multiple delete either. And I really don't feel like deleting 2543 phone numbers one by one. There are no contacts on the sim as all my numbers are on the phones and get backed up onto the sd card. Ive deleted the .vfc files so the phone wont have any numbers but they still there every time I flash a rom.

anyone have the same issues?

[Sony Tablet S] pajn:
What is this?

Boot Menu S is a bootstraped recovery.

Bootstraped means that it installs itself in the system partition and

hijacks Androids boot process. This means that it will not protect

your device if you screw up you stock system. Therefore it supports

up to four rom-slots. A rom-slot is stored on your internal storage

and holds one rom. When you flash something to a rom slot it will

not touch your stock system partition and therefore protects you

from a brick.

How do I use this?

Install the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.pajn.bms.manager

Open the app and install the recovery.

Reboot to the recovery.

If you want to enter the recovery during boot hold volume down until the boot animation hungs.

REMEMBER TO NEVER FLASH, WIPE OR RESTORE SOMETHING

TO YOUR STOCK SYSTEM, IT MAY BRICK YOUR DEVICE.

Thanks to

Hashcode and STS dev team for writing Safestrap

TeamWin for writing TWRP

And Developers and Skrilax_CZ for writing 2nd-init

As always you are fully responsible for your device if you brick your device

using this you are on your own. I nor anyone else take any responsibility

for what you do with your device.

And then it causes problems its not a laptop so I dont see why I was given to viao to build hard ware they knew little about and a software system even less ha ha

[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Awesome, if you use the uninstall option will it boot to the stock recovery like nothing happened?
[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:
Can you post the apk? And did you use the twrp recovery from the original safestrap?
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
I do want the apk BUT it is a major risk since XTS and the STS are different in a few ways like the bootloader, hardware, system, 2nd init and such so we may have to wait until it is supported.
[Sony Tablet S] pajn:
You can compile the kernel but you can't boot it as we have a locked bootloader, it's solvable with kexec which I have looked into a bit however the kernel is a mess so I don't relay know where to start. But it would be nice to have. With kexec and 2nd-init we have fully worked around the locked bootloader problem.

You can always access the stock recovery because that one is started from the bootloader where a bootstraped recovery is started from the system. What happens when you press uninstall is that it removes every file that is installed in the system partition and restores the hijack binary (currently logwrapper but I will start searching for a new one as Sony starts logwrapper very late (usually it's one of the first things to start as the mounting of the system, user and cache partitions usually are wrapped with logwrapper)).

Ofcourse. However I don't relay know what you want to use it for. The recovery is just included as a binary so the APK doesn't realy reveal much. Is there anything special that you are searching for?

If you use the current APK on the STS there is a big risk of bricking. I will send you a test build for STS as soon as possible if you don't mind doing some testing, else I have to find someone else.

View attachment 2083568

The recovery is TWRP however it isn't exactly the same as in the real safestrap builds because I couldn't compile the master branch of safestrap (probably some configuration error but the error I got from make wasn't very helpful so...) so I used a branch with a later version of TWRP and because TWRP had some big changes in its PartitionManager I had to rework most of the rom slot code.

I will post the full source on Github later.

[Sony Tablet S] pajn:
Okey, I post here the version I sent to smgdev in private.

Remember that this is a completely untested version, I have never even seen a STS IRL. It's only based on information smgdev sent and while that info were good there is still some possibility that something isn't right at the first try.

This version doesn't include any hijack and is therefore not modifying any existing files, only adding, so it shouldn't create a brick however as always: nothing can be guaranteed. Also there is risk that the recovery isn't correctly configured and can cause problem so please follow the protocol if you aren’t absolutely sure of what you are doing.

APK: http://ge.tt/3lBh0nk/v/0

Install the app.

On the install screen make sure that it says Device: STS in the top right corner, if it doesn't: abort!

Install the recovery.

Open adb shell and run

su
reboot-recovery

In the recovery:

Go to backup and make sure that it says the correct free space of your internal storage. If it doesn't: abort!

Do a backup.

Go to mounts and mount system

Go to advanced>file manager and check that /system contains your stock system.

Go to boot options>rom slot 1 and make sure that it says the correct free space of your internal storage. If it doesn't: abort!

Create the slot.

Go to mounts and mount system

Go to advanced>file manager and check that /system only contains lost+found. If it contains your stock system: abort!

Restore your backup

Go to mounts and mount system

Go to advanced>file manager and check that /system contains your stock system (well, the backup of it).

Go to boot options>rom slot 2 and create it

Go to mounts and mount system

Go to advanced>file manager and check that /system only contains lost+found.

Try to delete one rom slot

That should cover most things.

and try to run these binaries inside it without any arguments (you may have to fix their permission, set it to 755):

[Sony Tablet S] dmt-300:
Ok I did installed the recovery and I did manage to reboot to the recovery by holding volume down while rebooting but in terminal I get this:confused:
[Sony Tablet S] pajn:
Could anyone try to run the attached busybox?

It's the same busybox as included in the latest APK.

It works fine on the XTS and have all commands it should so I can't see why it shouldn't on the STS.

If you run it without any arguments it outputs all available commands but try to run some command also.

The reboot-recovery command is only temporary for testing on the STS, it isn't installed on the XTS.

On the XTS (and later on the STS) you need to set the recovery as the safestrap boot-mode using the app

or on terminal

echo "recovery" > /sdcard/safestrap/boot_mode

This is because the reboot-recovery only works from adb shell, and not on the devices terminal.

For the interested:

This is because 2nd-init isn't doing a "reboot", it just restart init. So we need to manually kill everything

before running it, everything that is running will continue to run after the "reboot".

reboot-recovery is configured to not kill adb. Not killing adb isn't a real problem but having enough Android

Framework stuff running to keep a terminal alive app is.

So it's a feature not a bug ;)

However maybe I should create a script that just set the bootmode and reboots, would that be better?
