[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Th3lmuu90:
Hey there,

I've tried to use apktool with an app and then placed it on my Xperia Mini Pro. The problem is, if the app does not connect to the internet, it does not force closes. But when I turn on Wifi and try to open the app, it force closes and I need internet to use this app.

I've tried to decompile, recompile and sign the app without any modification on the code and the result is the same so I'm thinking that the problem is with apktool.

My smartphone has root and it has the stock ROM. Version 2.3.4.

Can anyone help me?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wzyboy:
I would like to receive OTA updates in the future so I left the recovery untouched on my Nexus 4. In the past I used "fastboot boot recovery.img" to boot into CWM recovery and flash an "update.zip" of SuperSU. So I get a rooted Nexus 4 without flashing custom recovery.

However, things changed after I flashed my Nexus 4 with Android 4.3 factory image listed on Google Developers' page.

In fastboot mode, I tried to use my old routine of "fastboot boot recovery.img", the command line shows:

$ sudo fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.4-mako.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.398s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.002s]
finished. total time: 0.400s

Screen goes off, Google logo appears, screen dimmed, a few minutes passed, nothing happened.

My phone has already "fastboot oem unlock", of course. I tried it again and again. With different CWM recoverys and TWRP, the results are same.

I tried "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", it works, and I can boot into recovery. But I want to preseve stock recovery so I flashed it back.

I just don't know why "fastboot boot" does not work in Android 4.3 any more while "fastboot flash recovery" still works?

To test it out, I tried these on the Nexus 4 of a friend of mine:

1. Her Nexus 4 was 4.2.2.

2. "fastboot boot recovery.img" works.

3. Flash factory image of Android 4.3, everything's fine.

4. "fastboot boot recovery.img" does not work any more! (neither CWM nor TWRP)

5. "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" works.

So, the results are exactly same on my Nexus 4 and my friend's. There must be something wrong with Android 4.3, e.g. new security enforcements. Do anyone know something about this? Google did not return any valuable results.

EDIT: Problem solved. As 3rdstring explains: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44004032&postcount=6 , the new version of bootloader shipped with Android 4.3 factory image changed some of the "fastboot boot" command so you need to specify a kernel commandline to use "fastboot boot" command. For Nexus 4, the command is:

fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot customrecovery.img
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] italia0101:
Yea Google took out fastboot boot for some reason.... Fastboot flash works fine though
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wzyboy:
Well... I did not see any documentation announacing that... So we cannot use "fastboot boot" in Android 4.3 and future releases?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] italia0101:
So far no, looks like it was taken out of the updated bootloader.... Maybe security? Maybe they want people who have root to have an unlocked bootloader etc
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex240188:
You usually have to unlock you're bootloader to be able to use fastboot boot anyway
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3rdstring:
Google changed something but it's still possible according to this thread.

fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot customrecovery.img
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
For what it's worth fastboot boot fails on the new Nexus 7 as well, but flash works fine.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thos25:

[HTC One S] touchy66:
My HTC One S is running Android 4.1.1 and trying to connect to a WinXPpro PC.

It goes through the motions; USB compliant device found; MTP device; CD Rom Drive, installed and ready to use.

However the Windows options box that appears has no options in it to select. Therefore, I cannot access the files except those via HTC Sync Manager (which is not suitable for deleting individual files).

It used to work fine but not now and I cannot think of changes I've made on either 'phone or PC in the interim.

Your help is appreciated!

(I tried the syncing setting as described under another HTC device but that was already good to go)
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
If you use windows explorer to browse your file system can you see the drive as something like G:\removable disc?

If not, just mount it as USB storage using TWRP. Delete htc sync from your pc as well, all you needed from that was the drivers which you should also make sure are up to date.

[HTC One S] touchy66:
Hi and thanks for the response.

After deleting HTC Sync I now get "CD Drive ( E: )" . Under properties I have a choice of three drives, one being the phone but it doesn't seem to recognise it and cannot open it, asking me to "insert disc".

Auto play has the box of selections come up but that is frozen and non selectable.

I would like to get this working normally again if possible.

Thanks.
[HTC One S] cuiltheory:
Just for the hell of it - check if you have USB Debugging mark in Settings/Developer options.
[HTC One S] touchy66:
The debugging comes on automatically even if switched off in Developer. Switching it off after connection also makes no difference.

After some fiddling ( didn't really know what I did to be honest ) I now have both the "CD Drive ( E: )" and "HTC One S" (as portable device) showing in My Computer.

E still expects a disc and HTC shows many folders under "Internal Storage". I can access some files but not others, e.g. pictures are all available but documents such as Excel, Word and Text are not (Polaris Office folder shows no content). I'm having to dig deep through menus whereas before all this was available very easily.

Quite strange, to me at least.
[HTC One S] touchy66:
Still puzzling over this...

I have managed to get access to most things with the exception of TXT files. I have about 50 of these that I would now like to delete.

I can open them, using Polaris though not OI file manager, on the 'phone but cannot find them while linked to the computer in order to delete them.

Any ideas folks?

Cheers
[HTC One S] the4biddendonut:
A long shot, but does your rom have an option for fast charge perhaps? If so, uncheck it.

Thanks for the thought but mine has not been rooted and runs standard Android 4.1.1. Therefore I don't have that option.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclifox:
Sorry I'm kinda a nub at these things...I saw some threads saying 4.3 was out but when i checked my phone it said it's all up to date :( How can I update 4.3?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] failly:
OTA rolls out in stages.

You got some options:

1.Wait till you get the notification on your phone.

2.Use sideload to flash 4.3.

3.Go to settings-->Apps-->All Apps-->Google Framework service-->Delete cache and data and stop it-->Reboot.

After reboot got to:

Settings-->About phone-->System update.

It should be there.

If not repeat first part of step 3 and go to dialer and typ *#*#CHECKIN#*#* till you get it.

This method isn't very recommend though.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billchen0014:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -[-Xehanort-]-:
I would like to try something. Sometime I feel slight lag and delay on my Nexus 7 compared with my Galaxy Nexus when doing some and same lightweight task.

I think its might be related with companion core. And also I would like to compare the overall performance and battery life when with and without this core.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. meow:
Try using franco.kernel. Franco's hotplug doesn't call on the LP core at all, so you can think of it as disabled.

Is there any radio version which works fine or any Head Wired Headset works fine.... The Thirdparty Head set and the one comes with Imate doesnt work well... Its really annoying while we are on the phone because of this poor sound quality in Radio 1.12...

I hope someone have some solution for this prob... Is it advisable to go to Radio 1.10 ?... will that help?

Hello. I've tried to install ARDefender in my Galaxy Nexus (Stock 4.2.2) through PlayStore but it says my device is not compatible with that version.

How can I make it work? I've seen it works in a Galaxy S2 and it doesn't in a Galaxy Nexus??

[LG Optimus Black] UnrealDuke:
Hello.

I recently tried most of avaliable roms for LG Optimus Black. I tried to stay on 4.x, but battery drain was too damn high and it wasn't smooth as I wanted. So today I decided to return to older version of android - 2.3.4. Also I wanted to root my phone to make some stuff (like deleting bloatware).

I've downloaded kdz file (V20N), used LG-P970 ROM COVERTER 2.1 to make fls and bin files, downloaded superuser and started flashing with SmartFlash. In CWM I installed Superuser. After booting Superuser is installed, but when I try to install something phone restarts. I downloaded V20 Lite (rooted, deo..), installed it from .zip and problem keeps happening.

What is wrong?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
Hello,

In my question, What EXACTLY happens during a factory reset, the emphasis is, obviously, on "exactly". I will explain why I need to know this - the research I've done has failed to answer my question.

Carrier-phones come with a bunch of pre-installed apps. Of all possible scenarios, Japanese smartphones, and particularly Sharp smartphones, are the worst case. They are very difficult to root, very finicky phones that seem to go into a boot loop whenever you do something to them that you're not supposed to - all the more challenging :D

If we manage to root a Sharp phone, the first thing we do is freeze some of the Docomo or Softbank pre-installed apps that take up precious memory. We know that if we want to do a factory reset, we

must

first un-freeze all those apps, or we risk going into a boot loop, and having to ship the phone back to Japan to get repaired (for those of use who don't live in Japan).

Now, the million dollar question is, what happens if we delete/uninstall those system apps? And here I am asking about the general case, hoping that Sharp haven't invented some twisted scheme here too.

When we do a factory reset, how does the phone know what was - and what is supposed to be - in the /system/apps folder? Hence: What EXACTLY happens during a factory reset?

Does the phone look up a file which contains a list of all those pre-installed app, and verify the contents of the /system/app folder against it --- and if something is missing, it gets stuck during reboot? Or does it simply delete the contents of the /data folder, without paying attention to /system/app? And why does it go into a boot loop, if a system app was frozen?

In the end, I don't simply want to freeze some apps, I want to get rid of them completely --- you can't imagine the load of BS that Japanese carriers cram into their phones (a built-in Rakuten auctions app, a McDonald's app, a BeeTV app??? and so on and so forth) --- but I want to make sure the phone isn't checking what's supposed to be in /system/app.

---------------------

In the case of my 005SH, the rootkit came with a recovery that helps me "resurrect" the phone from a boot loop - and that has happened twice after a factory reset so far - I deleted some seemingly insignificant app, and Titanium Backup failed to restore it for some reason, so it's now gone forever. But not every rootkit comes with a proper recovery...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majdinj:
Some system apps are important for the device to run properly and some are just bloatware that can be deleted without harm (e.g, Youtube, ChatOn.. etc). There are several app lists in the forum of safe app to remove (this is one).

But I advice you not to play with system apps if you don't know which app is safe to remove.

All app in system partition will be restored as if it was first time to be run, although all of your installed app, contacts, sms, WiFi access and data will be deleted
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
Thanks but this does not answer my question. I know perfectly well which apps are bloatware and which are essential. I will restate my question:

Is there some register or list, which the phone checks during factory reset, and which says what apps were originally installed in /system/app? That is, will the phone "know" that I have removed some of the original apps?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majdinj:
As I mentioned, factory reset will delete all data apps that can be found in data partition not those found in system partition.. If it happens some of original apps are installed in data partition, then they will be deleted (unless if they are found in preload partition!!).. I can't be clear more than this..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
Really, read my question carefully, please, not just the title of the thread. You are talking about something very different.

It is known that on Japanese Sharp phones, if you uninstall and remove completely some of the apps that are installed by the manufacturer or the carrier in /system/app, when you do a factory reset, the phone may - or even will - go into a boot loop (will be bricked). This has nothing to do with apps that are installed in /data.

Is it possible that Sharp have added an extra "security" mechanism to their phones to prevent users from removing pre-installed apps (similar to their MIYABI LSM lock)? I want to know how to find this security mechanism, if it exists, and - hopefully, how to cheat it.

How does the phone know what apps are supposed to be in /system/app, and if it doesn't find them when rebooting after a factory reset, why does it go into a boot loop?
