[Motorola Droid X2] skolden:
So I was going to try and put an SD card in my Motorola X2 one day and opened it up, the case came off kind of hard but I didn't think anything of it. When I turned it back on after putting the battery back in, this is what I saw (x2front1.jpg). After that I took the case back off and it seemed to work for a bit but if I wasn't careful and put the phone back in my pocket for awhile the screen would glitch out horribly. I found that simply hitting the phone on a hard surface would allow me use my phone and I would just have to be careful but now that doesn't even seem to be working, even with the case off. Is there any anyway to fix my phone or is it basically a brick? I can still slide my finger over the unlock button and I can tell it unlocks it but it doesn't show anything different. My contract is up in February and I was hoping to make it that long with a half functioning phone but I think I may be doomed. When making calls people can only hear me on speaker as well, I doubt that has any involvement in this but perhaps it does. Anyway, if anyone has any ideas or suggestions I will gladly try them, I cant cause much further harm from what it looks like to me. Thanks for your time!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Kingmdm:
A few newbie questions.

1. Does a full Nand backup also backup kernel? My understanding is that it doesn't.

2. Anyway to backup kernel?

3. When restoring AOSP Nand backup on a TW based kernel what's best way to get the stock AOSP kernel back included in Rom. This is not an issue for me when switching to a TW based Rom since I have a separate zip of the latest MF9 kernel.

Just want suggestions on how to restore from a Nand backup when changing from TW and AOSP roms. I want to be able to Restore quickly from TW to AOSP and AOSP to TW. I also prefer to stick with stock kernels since I've have random reboot issues with some of the custom kernels. I also understand this is not a concern when installing any ROM from scratch since the zip will usually install the desired kernel.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] TheGoodFellas:
Hi, im currently running Triforce 3.0 and i'd love to upgrade from MDC to MF9 but i am reading numerous reports of MF9 random reboot issues alongside with non working Wifi. Has anyone found a solution to these two issues?

By the way I love Triforce rom and may use it as my daily driver but im also interested in running an Aosp rom if I get tired of touchwiz. What is the current best Aosp rom available for us Sprint users ? Thanks :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
I don't understand. Triforce is already MF9. So you are on a MF9 build.

Unless you're talking about the baseband then there is no problem updating. And as for the WiFi issue. Just flash a different kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] TheGoodFellas:
baseband

You're correct. I am talking about updating the baseband from MDC to MF9... but many people have reported issues of random reboots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] TheGoodFellas:
And is there a better Aosp rom available for sprint users other than PacMan rom?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] TheGoodFellas:
Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ROMANTiC KiD:
Check the original development, there some AOSP roms to choose from and give them a try to see which one you like. I prefer carbon rom but you could have a different taste.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] TheGoodFellas:
I'll give carbon rom a try. Thanks for the info.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
Then if MDC is working for you in your area. I would suggest to stay on it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AAccount:
I wanted to see if I could get cm10.2 to boot on my galaxy tab 1 p7510 so I just dropped in the current pershoot device and vendor folders for it and added target_cpu_variant = generic (since there is no neon on it) and I got it to boot but it freezes after 5 seconds. When I tried using target_cpu_variant = cortex-a9 it didn't work since I figured out that setting coretx-a9 assumes neon is there. There is no way to do anything anymore. On the first boot I can use adb shell to see the logcat but get kicked out of the shell after a few seconds with nothing out of the ordinary. No errors or anything. Any time after I can never get back in to adb. Does anyone have better experience with this kind of thing? I thought it might be selinux so edited selinux/enabled.c to have the "is enabled" function return 0 with no results.

I also figured out I had to use the CWM that gets made with the cm10.2 zip. TWRP 2.6 won't flash it. The CWM has no problems and works perfectly. Just to clarify my tablet is not dead and I just flashed TWRP 2.6 through heimdall to restore my aokp backup.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] greysonofusa:
WiFi is not working on any rom except CM. I have wiped everything clean and done clean installs of Liquid Smooth 2.9 and AOKP MR2 and still nothing. I have event switched recoveries from CWM to TWRP and the GAPPS im using are 20130301. I am totally out of ideas here. I can live with CM but I really want to try AOKP MR2 as I hear it is quite good.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Rick-SG3:
Sounds like you might have flashed a newer Kernel with update WiFi drivers. I've read where that's happened and you have to revert (somehow?) to the old drivers for compatibility. I think this was an issue in KT's kernals, but you might want to do some reading and research on your own.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] greysonofusa:
I did download a bootloader package and flashed it with CWM the zip was titled boot_CWM_I747UCDLK3 could this be the source of my problem?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Rick-SG3:
Could be. I'd go back and read the instructions and changelog for it. If it loaded a different driver, you will need to re-flash the stock wifi driver, not usually included with other ROMs. Not sure if flashing the modem files would include those either.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] greysonofusa:
So where would I score the default driver?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Rick-SG3:
I dunno. I suppose you could flash back to stock using one of the "toolkits" available and go from there. That would probably be my choice, but is probably the long way home, too.

Where have you looked so far? I don't use CM, so I haven't read those forums for you, but I would assume you aren't the only one to switch from CM to some other ROM.
[LG Optimus 2x] dmariadas:
Hey guys

Im currently running cm10.1 and when i turn the phone off and try to enter recovery by pressing the power button and vol down key the phone just starts up as normal.

both keys are working fine. any ideas?

did you try restart in recovery?

Try reboot to recovery as szabeee said, and if it doesnt work, reflash recovery using AIO toolkit (option 2).
[Google Chromecast] homemadehitshow:
There seems to be a lot of confusion about this and I realize this is really a Chrome issue but perhaps we can work it out. No one I know in person can get an AVI file to play in chrome and hence cast to Chromecast.

Here is a 20mb sample file.

Can you download it or stream it in Chrome ? If you can tell us your setup.

Personally I have DIVX and VLC installed and it won't play. It just downloads.

Try it and let us know

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1330792/Sample Video.avi
[Google Chromecast] PhantomGamers:
It just dls from dropbox, haven't tried messing with it locally because dropbox is really slow right now lol.

What happens if you rename it to .mp4 or open it in chrome with ctrl+o?
[Google Chromecast] homemadehitshow:
Whatever you do it just downloads.
[Google Chromecast] PhantomGamers:
you can always use plex
[Google Chromecast] homemadehitshow:
I don't really know what that means but I've read performance is not good.
[Google Chromecast] ooonimrodooo:
OK so i just uploaded an avi file to my google drive and played it in google viewer, casted in with the chrome extension and it streams flawlessly to my chromecast! :D
[Google Chromecast] homemadehitshow:
Well that's interesting. Worked for me also but not a very practical solution but it probably tells us something important.
[Google Chromecast] PhantomGamers:
http://www.plexapp.com/

first google result of the word "plex" :P

i don't know where you see performance is not good... plex is fine for me but YMMV

(i don't actually know that it works with avis because i only use x264 mp4s or mkvs but it should work)
[Google Chromecast] homemadehitshow:
Well thanks so much, given that I already said I heard performance was bad I guess I already knew that much. Anything else to contribute ?
[Google Chromecast] PhantomGamers:
You can try not contradicting yourself in your post... just because you heard performance was bad doesn't mean it will perform bad for you.

What do you lose by trying?
[Google Chromecast] homemadehitshow:
Why do you feel it necessary to pick at a post rather than contribute?

For the comprehension challenged, I know what Plex is, I just don't know how to set it up our if it's worth it.
[Google Chromecast] PhantomGamers:
I am contributing, I'm using plex and it's working swimmingly, that's my contribution.

It seems like you're the one picking at MY post.

If you wish to wait for another solution be my guest but the only other solution will be waiting for some media player (like VLC) to integrate a casting option...
[Google Chromecast] Maggard:
So you know about Plex, you've been given it's website, so how about reading the how-to?! (Or are you going to have a snotty answer about that, too?)

As to slow, that depends entirely on what you're running it on. As it can run fine on a Raspberry PI it obviously doesn't require huge resources. It's run very well in the background of my five year old Mac without issue.

But I'm sure this answer won't be to your satisfaction either. Or maybe you'll learn please & thank you, never too late...
[Google Chromecast] homemadehitshow:
Man such a friendly and welcoming place.

I will check out Plex, I promise. But my actual question is how to play AVI files directly in Chrome directly since I can't have Plex in every scenario. I'm confused why some people say it works and many others don't.
[Google Chromecast] PhantomGamers:
plex is very versatile, i can't imagine a scenario where it wouldn't be viable.

i only push this because as far as i can tell it's impossible to just add support for **** inside of chrome without patching in support in the chromium source...

id love it if someone can correct me and tell us how to play avis and ac3 audio in chrome natively though!
[Google Chromecast] homemadehitshow:
It's really odd that it will play from Drive and some people claim it works.

As for Plex. 3 main problem cases come to mind

1} I cannot install it on my work computer that I travel with

2} Someone wants to show a video from their laptop. I can't tell them to install Plex

3} I tried to install on my laptop at home and it's not working. It will not play videos

There's a lot of reasons Native chrome would be better.

I should also note WMV doesn't work either. Plays in the browser but black on the Chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] PhantomGamers:
I haven't actually tried but it seems like Drive has its own media player, that would explain why it works with drive...

As for your first two problems you have completely valid points but I'm sure your third issue is resolvable with more information.

I don't suggest plex as a permanent solution but as a temporary workaround.
[Google Chromecast] Maggard:
I expect the issue is that AVI is a *container*: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_Video_Interleave

Content inside can be encoded using numerous formats, some of which are likely supported directly by the Chromecast device (if it has the proper codecs), in other cases there may be external transcoding for the Chromecast happening (possibly GDrive is doing some behind-the-scenes optimization like it does for PDFs uploaded as books.)

In any case we're in early days yet, doubtless there are dedicated Chromecast streamers & optimizers in progress on many a dev's plate.
[Google Chromecast] homemadehitshow:
I agree on the container but I am using very common one's DIVX for example and testing with various one's. It's possible some obscure one's will work but that seems counter intuitive.

I do agree that this will be made to work at some point soon but this actually appears to be a Chrome problem not a Chromecast problem.
[Google Chromecast] Maggard:
Possibly, or a Chrome + specific DIVX implementation issue.

The truth is DIVX is a commercial, patent-encumbered, codec. There are several slightly different implementations of varying legitimacy. It is entirely possible that some variants, or even specific implementations (this DLL vs. that DLL) are more & less Chrome compatible.

Also, for those that might be unaware, I'll note that both AVI & DIVX have been widely superseded by other, more efficient & versatile encodings. There is a great deal of legacy material out there, but more modern files are typically MP4 or Matroska using H.264 compression.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihaly_n:
So as I see in a flashable zip there is:

META-INF\com\google\android\

where you have updater-script.

Mine contains this:

ui_print("text_to_write");

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/cache");

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

ui_print("");

package_extract_dir("cache", "/cache");

package_extract_dir("data", "/data");

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

unmount("/cache");unmount("/data");

unmount("/system");

ok, basically this mounts the cache, data, system partition.

Now I want to do something like:

got a file in /system/media/sounds/ui/lock.ogg

I want it to rename it to /system/media/sounds/ui/lock.ogg.back

as I searched the forum, I need to run a bash script, something like:

for file in *.html; do

mv "$file" "`basename $file .html`.txt"

or simply

mv Lock Lock_old

now my question

what to write in update script to rename these files before copying the actual files.

What to write in the the update-script to run the bash.

as I understand I should paste a new line

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

ui_print(""); <-right here the script line

package_extract_dir("cache", "/cache");

the main goal is this:

copy for example Lock.ogg to system/media/ui/

but before copying rename the existing Lock.ogg to Lock.ogg.back or Lock_old.ogg.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger_beast:
Create a file under the kitchen's /tools/edify_defs folder, with the name being the same as the value of ro.product.device (found in your device's /system/build.prop file).

If the stock ROM images for your device contain the recovery.img file, extract its files from the kitchen menu: Advanced --> Tools for boot image --> Extract from boot.img/recovery.img in any folder. Then, open up its ramdisk folder, and look for /system/etc/recovery.fstab or /etc/recovery.fstab or similar FSTAB file location. Open this file to find the mount points.

See the template file in the edify_defs folder to see how to set the mount points inside the file you created. Look at the other files in that folder for examples on how to do it.

So if u got the ro.product.device ID (can be found in build.prop its easy then follow the steps above.....)
