[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] VivaLaCam92:
Grr, why couldn't this bo posted earlier...

A guy on another forum who had the same issue just said the same thing, pointed me in direction to the samsung drive manager which for me was already installed on my pc.. I thought fat 32 only suppored drives up to 32gb so that's what i reframed from when i tried everything else since windows 8 only supported exfat & ntfs.

tried a few times and it failed but got it eventually & now it's working flawlessly on my note 2 without unmounting itself upon unlock.

I would still however want to know why would it being formatted as fat32 suddenly cause it to work on my just my note 2 when just a few hours ago on shift i tried the card in yet another friends at&t note 2 but not mine. & we're both stock rooted running FauxKernel

Is there any danger in deleting the old partition from my old phone from my SD card? If so, what is the best way of doing it? When I inserted it into my new phone it created a separate partition, however left my old one. The old one is protected though by the system. I do have root, however I am not sure if I deleting the folder will cause any issues.
[RAZR i General] khaledm_92:
Thought I'd share an interesting discovery,

I'm on the stock rom, and have both google search and google now disabled. I discovered by accident that whenever I press any of the three buttons and swipe up (similar to how you launch google now, but with any of the buttons), the screen is switched off and locked.

I dont 't know if anyone has noticed this before, but this is very useful since you can lock the phone from anywhere without having to use the hardware button.
[RAZR i General] ciberbeb:
I don't how you did this, but it doesn't work for me.

For me, when swiping up, if I move to the "google circle" it opens Google search, and if I don't move enough to that circle, nothing happens ...
[RAZR i General] khaledm_92:
As i mentioned, I have google search disabled as well. It also works with any of the 3 buttons. My phone isnt rooted or anything of that sort.
[RAZR i General] nestori:
Install "screen off" app and do what khaledm_92 says

Problems with Camera in rom monxDIFIED ★ ESSENTIAL i1 | HONAMi ® COMPLETE | STABLE

When I open camera app and close it in several times, then I cannot reopen the camera. It's inconvenience for me. I need someone to help me to solve this problem.

I also factory reset before I flash this ROM

The camera report the message that : Camera not available
[General Questions and Answers] rtanner85:
Install the Rom with a full wipe before. Clean the caches in settings of all the camera involved apps (settings/apps/all) and reboot. Like this issue should be solved. If not, you still can downgrade to stock camera, I have a flashable zip. I hope it was helpfull for you. For further assistance let me know...

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------

Or else, use titanium backup. In the app list inside titanium backup wipe all the datas of all the apps which belong to the camera,make a backup of all of them,remove them all,restore them all and wipe all the datas again.I hope you succeed...

Hi! I'm Dylan, the xda intern :victory:

I'm doing some research on how devs monetize their apps. We're currently exploring ways to help you make more money from your apps and we'd like to find out about what you currently do. If you could please, please take this short survey, it would be much appreciated! We promise to keep everything confidential; in fact, the survey is anonymous.

[Java for Android App Development] kevin619:
Today in this competitive world whether you have an iPad app...., Android app or any Mobile app you need to advertise to make people know about your app. very important factor for advertising your app is effectively determining where and how to advertise your app.effective app advertising requires mainly 4 key areas....

Brand

Buzz

Balanced opportunity

Social Media support
[Java for Android App Development] blocknot.es:
I have the same problem.

2 weeks ago I published an Android app but very few people tried it.

The market is full of apps so it's hard to acquire visibility.

So I'm looking for websites to advertise it.
[Java for Android App Development] 6mg:
admob sucks

I have like 40,000 plus downloads on admob. got like 9 dollars. U don't need to advertise. Just pick a name. They will find it. The market is large
[Java for Android App Development] pizandroid:
Posting on forums, when allowed

Contacting websites and suggesting the app for review

Using admob for monetization
[Java for Android App Development] electricseed:
We tried admob too, no luck there. Posting on forums (where allowed), trying to make a good icon and description and looots of luck :eek:

we tried getting some reviews done too, but didn't see any rise in downloads. Also we got into a printed medium too, which didn't seem to have much impact either.
[Java for Android App Development] ttttkk:
posting it on social network like google+,fb+twitter+forum is way better than admob
[Java for Android App Development] iislamsaid:
Yes idlike to know this
[Java for Android App Development] carbonpeople:
One major problem, (for example with google play) is that they dont actually give a chance

for new developers to promote their applications

Our apps hide under a pile of dozen of others. :(

One sulution

A random application could be featured on the main entry page every hour.

This will balance the major companies promoting their stuff. And if the app is good, it wil get

the hype to climb up

Unfortunately we dont see that comming soon.
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
And why? Because there are lots of crappy apps out there. I'm glad (even from a developer standpoint) that this won't happen.
[Java for Android App Development] carbonpeople:
a) Half of the apps in google play are NOT crap. Have you seen them promoted ?

I can point to some excelent apps (better than the well known competition) with

so little downloads that looks suspicius

b) Even imdb has a heuristics system to remove biased/suspicius rankings, so surely

google can do that. A crap-free promoting system can be created

But it seems that

1. Either major companies want to clear out small competition on google play

or

2. Or... some developers created a good highly-downloaded app and had their

idea stollen from somebody else who created a better one, and want

to push new competition out of the way

Either way...
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
Of course, there are many good apps. I even think that this is the majority.

And I've seen those great small apps, too. (But most of them got lots of downloads within a few months. It took some time but if the app is good and unique, you will get your downloads. ;))

I think that it is Google that doesn't want to promote the small apps.

If they did it randomly, most apps (not all!!!) would get less downloads than the bigger ones.

If they selected the small apps by hand, it would be very expensive and they wouldn't know where to start.

If they choose the big ones with many downloads (like now), they can be sure that they will get many downloads. And with downloads comes money.

I don't think it's fair, but I can't think of a better and still efficient method to select the small apps which generates as much income as the system does now.
[Java for Android App Development] mynote:
well, i dont think ist good to use ads in an app anyway. better use "donations" or "Pro" Versions since ads will make your Reviews and Ratings worst.
[Java for Android App Development] PicomatStudios:
A combination of approaches work best. Having a facebook presence helps. Some of the very successful apps integrate with facebook very well. Some games tend to grant more time/lives if you share or like on facebook (Candy Crush, for example).

Depending on the app, limited-time trial versions are quite effective.

Agree that plain ads can be problematic as they can lead to poor reviews.. that in turn can hit your G. Play ranking and lead to fewer downloads.
[Java for Android App Development] MobiDevCorp:
Hi guys! Interesting discussion. Actually there are number of general ways to monetize an app:

Paid applications. You create an app that will charge a certain amount from the beginning.

Freemium. A software product can be downloaded free (so-called 'lite' version), while its extended, 'premium' features and services are offered for a payment.

Subscription (paid access). This monetization model originates from real magazines and newspapers, and is also very widespread.

In-app purchases.

Ad banners, texts, videos - this monetization model is constantly growing, encompassing the market of free applications.

User base. When the free software you own finally becomes popular, wins an audience, it can also be used for further monetization.
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
And which one do you prefer?
[Java for Android App Development] MobiDevCorp:
Actually we develop mobile apps for our clients, so it's monetization is their decision.

One of the most widespread one is freemium, but like other models it has its limitations.
[Java for Android App Development] CabuxaMapache:
I'm using AdMob in free app.Right now promote an app is very hard.. and monetize... impossible if you don't have a LOT of downloads.

Every site request money to review your app.

I think there must be another way, but I can't find it....
[Java for Android App Development] appdevelopment38:

[Java for Android App Development] krashik:
I am using AdMod to show interstitial ads once the user starts a new game. I set it up to only start showing ads after the users played 5 games, so that new users don't get scared away and only the ones that like the game see ads. I also only show ads, after the users finished a round with positive score, to spare the frustration of losing a game and then seeing an ad right after.

if (score > 0 && gamesPlayed > 5)
showAd();
[Java for Android App Development] coolbud012:
ohh ok then it must be according to the your custom code...like it must be checking the number of games played...there must be some android function like how many times the app has been started...

No, I just count up the number of games in code and store it in persistent storage. In my case it's saved as a preference, since I want the number of games to show up in the preferences screen as well.

I believe social media is the best thing to start. If you got the money then you can advertise your app on Admob or anywhere else.

I stick to social media for now because i cant spent money for advertising.

If anyone is interested just search for "SmartPadsFX" in google play its a cool free music app for android and i would apreciate any feed back.

[Java for Android App Development] mrYoussef135:
Make a good app and you win half the battle.
[Java for Android App Development] 12er:
My piece of advice: split your app into a free and a full version (which requires a price to be paid), and advertise the full version of the app in the free version (place somewhere a banner saying "get the full adfree version ... which can do this and that in contrast to the free version " "take me there" -> a click takes the user to the paid version on the marketspace). If your app is really good, the functionality of the free app AND the banner advertising the full version might motivate a fraction of the users to pay. This might bring you more money than the ads, especially when the free version has not had many downloads yet.
[Java for Android App Development] andr0id3r:

[Java for Android App Development] myth007_03:
monetize using ad networks like Admob. Devs can also sell their apps or sell in-app items in their app. I personally used AdMob.
[Java for Android App Development] eng.ahmed.android:
- I think if you publish it in many forums or groups which allow that and got good reviews, then your app will go up in search results and maybe google play visitors will find it easily.

- It's also a good idea and important to put two buttons in your app:

1- Rate : to take the user to your app's page easily and rate your app.

2- Share : which enable users to share your app by many ways possible in their devices like facebook, twitter, sms, emails, whatsApp...etc
[Java for Android App Development] whobalagosh:
What do you mean by "40,000 plus downloads on admob?" Do you mean impressions? Or do you mean you have like 40,000 downloads on Google Play and have only earned 9 dollars from AdMob?

Advertise is a second part of the story I think if your app made properly you dont have to advertise a lot because user definitely share their experience with others if they had good ones And if they not then please forget that your app will be famous after too many advertisment so for me app development company like Quantilytics is more important than an advertisment company.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laura almeida:
I was wondering is there any soft-root for i9300 ?

Any kind of root which will be gone after i reboot my device ?

And also

I'm on Stock 4.2.2 XXUFME7

If i use CF-Auto-Root to Root my device, will it get Un-rooted if i reset and wipe cache ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No root will be gone after a factory reset because it is required in the /system partition, which does not alter with a factory reset. CF-auto-root gives you the SuperSU apk which has a "remove root" option within it however.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brabauer:
I have been using the Google Edition ROM on my Galaxy S4 and I'm loving it. The only thing is everytime there is an update to the ROM and i install it it wipes all my data and i have to start over. Is there are way to "update" the ROM compared to a clean install?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordunknown:
Just install the zip over your current Google Edition installation then wipe dalvik/cache. Non-major upgrades do not need full data wipes normally. If you have issues with the installation then do a clean install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brabauer:
I just tried this and it still wiped everything. Is there a chance the zip has something in it for a clean install?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordunknown:
What recovery are you using? And are you sure that you are not selecting "wipe data" anywhere? Try booting into your recovery, then going to "install zip". Once the zip has been installed, then wipe cache/dalvik only. Should be under advanced.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brabauer:
My buddy put "Team Win Recovery Project v2.5.0.2" on my phone. I go in: select install, select the zip. After it installs It gives me the option to wipe cache/dalvik then reboots the phone. and go into the phone setup wizard.
