[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablo67:
Ok for it to stay deleted,you will need to boot into recovery and wipe cache,dalvik and just for kicks,fix permissions after uninstalling/removing.Then your aggrevating apps should be gone now.Always make sure to back everything up first.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hbforce:
Thanks for the help, but one question do i need to wipe cache and dalvik before or after removing bloatwares ?.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Conchas:
Who can explain, the upgrade procedure to substitute Himalaya bootloader with the ones available in .raw files at the wiki ftp server?

Or give a link where it is explained. I didn't succeed to find.

I'm with 1.02. Any advantage or disadvantage for other versions 1.01, 1.03, 1.06.

I read the higher the version, the hardest to downgrade a ROM version. Does someone confirm it?

Thanks

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iceygod:
I got a Kindle Fire and I tried to flash a new ROM. This Rom is called Beanstalk and did not work out as I wished. After installing TWRP and wiping my multiple caches, I flashed on beanstalk on my Kindle Fire. When I turn it on, The Kindle Fire logo pops up, followed by the Beanstalk animation. The device boots up like normal, however when I get in to the actual ROM, the popup says "Unfortuantely setup wizard has stopped" and when I click on the pop-up it just comes back on. I was told to get a factory cable to get it into fastboot mode and from there to recovery. However, when I use the cable on the win7 computer it doesn't stay in fastboot, but when I do on my win8 computer it does but the drivers do not work on it. When it miraculously does work on the win7 computer I try to send commands to it through a cmd prompt and tried using soupkit but it would not detect the device. Is there anyway I can reach debug through the ROM which has the error? How do I detect the kindle during fastboot? IF I can detect it, how do I switch it in to recovery? Thanks for all and any replies!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
When you say your device doesn't stay in fastboot on the Win7 computer, can you elaborate on this? How are you determining whether the device is in fastboot or not? Also, where did you get your factory cable? Is it homemade, or did you purchase it? If you did purchase it...where?

The computer itself should have no bearing on whether or not the factory cable will work as intended unless (maybe) you are using a USB3.0 port rather than a USB2.0 port.

Also, if you would, in Linux, enter the following command(s) with the device plugged in and post the results:

lsusb -vd 1949: | grep 'bcdDevice'

If that doesn't give you anything, try the following:

lsusb | grep 'Lab126'
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iceygod:
I'm determining if it's in fastboot when it's stuck at the kindle fire logo, When I plug the factory cable in to my win7 cable, it boots up as if I was using a charging cable for some reason, but when I plug it in to my win8 computer it does stay in fastboot. I purchased the factory cable online. I believe the USB3.0 port may be the problem i'll try that a second time. As for the Linux, thing, I'll try that asap. Thank you for the input!

but i think i want to make the pluge into a native installation wipe away the original firm ware and make this a true android device..

so what advantages will this bring me? how painless is this process.. any feed back from folks who went from the ds card install to a native install... is appreciated.. i just dont want to bork the tablet ...

Following the directions here, e.mote has made it so easy I could do it with ease. If you follow his directions, you will have a stock back-up to restore and a baseline to use if you get into trouble after installing to make it easy to get back to either stock or a baseline.

He also tells you how to keep it up to date with new releases to keep everything current. I got mine stuck in a SystemUI crash loop and was able to restore a back-up quickly and easily.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] viskon:
My beloved Galaxy Nexus died on me and I am looking for a new phone. I am considering picking up an unlocked Optimus G E970. I am currently in India, but i expect to be in the US sometime in November. My carrier of choice in the US is T-Mobile.

Need some advice from experienced users :

1. I need usb tethering to work. From what I read here, tethering is disabled by default. Is this true of only the on - contract devices or is it disabled for the off-contract devices as well?

2. I have read the numerous threads here, but i dare ask again. Seeing that T-Mobile LTE is lit in Indianapolis (where I expect to be in Nov), can I expect to get both LTE and HSPA+?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gaurav247star:
kindly please tell ..

.. I PREFER SAMSUNG BRANDS ACTUALLY .. BECAUSE THEY ARE MORE RELIABLE AND WIDELY USED BY THE ANDROID USERS SO IT GIVES MORE COMPATIBILITY WITH APPS AND MORE

YOU CAN CHECK THOSE PHONES ON YOU TUBE LIKE HOW THEY LOOK OUT OF THE BOX... :good:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] zymphad:
Of course you can get LTE and HSA+. Where there is no LTE, what else but HSPA+ used? Unless you live really in the boondocks and only have 3G/HSPA. This supports whatever AT&T supports or if you have Sprint version. No idea about the International, though I thought I read the international LTE is not the same as one used in North America.

- You can also flash AT&T or Sprint Radio.

USB tethering I believe is enabled on unlocked phones, with custom roms at least.

I agree with Viskon. Why wait for more power hungry, battery monster eating phones later when you can get the Moto X now? As it is, it has the most software features and a great battery life. For gaming and etc, it still has the Adreno 320 which is the same on LGOG. Though it's only a dual core, but it should be the same Krait v2 core used on the LGOG. I don't think quad-core is needed for Android right now. The Moto X believe has the 2GB of ram for multi-tasking. And with Android 4.3 support it has the updated GL ES 3.0 support.

- Phones I list below and you have mentioned just have better, bigger, more power hungering hardware specs that are unneeded in an Android Phone.

- Moto X has the software features, good enough camera and more ease of use design. That's the impression I've gotten from the reviews and write ups on the Moto X.

To me the SnapDragon 800 just means it will be hotter and drain battery even faster and meanwhile can't think of any app that needs that kind of heat/power other than maybe a game, in which case, seriously get a Tablet with PowerVR or a gaming laptop.

Other phones to look at would be the Sony Xperia Z and Oppo 5, both of which have great specs, way better camera than either LGOG, Nexus 4 and more than likely Nexus 5, and Moto X. And both have screens that will unlikely be beaten by any new phone coming, the 1080p IPS and sLCD3 with ridiculous PPI are already overkill for 5" screens.

- Benefit is both Sony and Oppo are dev friendly and well supported by all the major dev/mod projects.

- Oppo uses dual CMOS sensor! And Sony uses great sensor and lots of adjustments for low light pictures, HDR, etc. Both phones make camera on LG, Nexus and Samsung look pitiful, only Nokia can top them.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] viskon:
Thanks for the insights.

I am trying not to get into custom roms. I need a phone that has tethering enabled out of the box.

I have also been looking at the Xperia ZL. It seems to be compatible with just about any network on the planet. But it does cost a fair bit more than the LGOG.

LG seems to have dumped their unsold AT&T LGOGs in India, and these are going for cheaper than Nexus 4s.

The Moto-X is not a phone I can get right now, since it is a US only phone at this point.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
If you pay the carrier for tethering and it's included in your contract is the only way you're going to get tethering right out of the box.

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.pixel:
This question has been answered by the second post, to keep things short if you want to flash a rom you need to mount /preload and /data from within CWM

Hello, sorry if there is another thread like this.

I tried to install Lite Rom v2.8 on my GT-I8160

I am not really a beginner (i have a HTC myself) but the information on the rom thread is kinda... not available ^^''

The GT-I8160 is running 4.1.2 I8160XXMG2 (stock kernel and rooted) with CWM6 on the external SD card (no clue why it doesn't permanently install itself, i guess it has to do with the fact that the phone is running a stock kernel?) i tried to install the rom within CWM (install zip from SD card) but it is stuck on repeating the boot animation ._. it works after recovering the backup though. Does someone know what i did wrong?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Souffre:
I think you didn't mount preload. Try to flash Lite Rom 2.8 again and in Cwm mount system, preload and data before flashing the Rom.

Tell me if it worked
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.pixel:
Thank you for your reply. It seems to work! :D

Can you explain why i need to do this? (for future reference)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carpe-Dimi:
Sounds odd, it's not hard to tell the updater-script to mount preload as well, instead of having to do it manually :confused:

Anyways, our system space is limited, so a lot of the apps are installed in preload/symlink/system/app first and then symlinked from system/app.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJcastaldo:
Just a quick question.

I was under the impression that the two development sections were in place to keep original development (the dev actually created it) and kang development (a collage of others work) separate. Am I incorrect? I only ask because as I look in the Original dev section I see lots of ROMs that are just other people work duct taped together... I don't want to see this stuff, and that's why I stay out of the other dev section..

Am I wrong with my assumption? Is this not enforced by the forum mods?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
To be honest I have no idea why are there 2 development forums outside this section.

Hi team,

Any of you know how to remove the tripod port cover of the Galaxy S4 Zoom?

Your help will really be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Deadman:
Just pull it out.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Kroy73:
It's basically a rubber bung, it just pulls out - no need to screw, just pull.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] genus:
It is quite hard to pull out, you must use finger nail to pull it out.

My recommendation is after pull out, keep the cover in the s4 zoom box... so that next time when you gonna use it, no need to take it out again.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Nixdapogs:
Thanks for your valuable response, everyone!

Yeah, I kinda figure out that you have to pry it out with your nail then pull it out once its loose enough. Kept the cover in the box to avoid hassle, works well with my DSLR's tripod! Thanks gang, take care!

nice spec. !

go for it ... ;)
[General Questions and Answers] sauprankul:
16000INR = 290USD.

Thats pretty expensive for a rather mid spec device, considering the fact that cash flow on average is lower in India. But then again, electronics are expensive in India and other emerging markets.

I would contemplate having a friend from the states purchase a better tablet here for the same price and ship it to you there. Obviously, that may not be an option.

I would say that if the price is right, and you can't get any better for the price, go for it. It seems that it is serviceable.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talminator:
Hiya XDA,

Only a small issue but it's annoying nonetheless so I was hoping one of you great folks might be able to help me out. Whilst snapping a couple of HDR pictures on holiday, my Nexus 4 (running stock 4.3) crashed and rebooted. Since the crash, the order of photos has been lost in the camera folder in the stock gallery. Rather than having the most recent photos at the front and moving back chronologically, photospheres have now been moved to the front in chronological order, and after that are all my standard, non-photosphere pictures.

The reason this is annoying is because whenever I take a new picture, I can no longer swipe to get to the picture I just took. Instead swiping on the camera brings up the first picture in the gallery, which is a photosphere I took a few days ago. To get to the picture I just took, I have to scroll way back through all the photospheres in my gallery before arriving at the most recent picture. Photospheres taken after the crash are also appearing way back along with all the ordinary photos.

I've checked the EXIF data for all my photos and the "date taken" information has not been lost or anything, so I cannot understand why the gallery is ordering my photos so randomly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot :victory:

EDIT: I forgot to mention, I've tried clearing the data and cache of the gallery application, but that didn't fix the issue
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
Firstly using HDR is a really bad idea since it will spam your data partition with useless temporary files which you can delete if you are rooted:

Secondly try deleting the thumbnails in that folder, and wipe the gallery data.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talminator:
Thanks for the reply! I generally try not to use HDR too much, only in situations where there's a high contrast between the items I want in the photo. Otherwise I tend to stick with normal mode. I suspect the use of HDR may be what triggered the crash though...?

I tried deleting the thumbnails cache and wiping gallery data again, but sadly it didn't make any difference :(

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mossywell:
This is driving me insane! The problem is:

- Had a AOKP 4.1 JB ROM installed.

- Did a TB and nandroid backup.

- Did a full wipe and installed the Infamous (4.2 JB ROM). That all went fine.

- Installed Crossbreeder via CWM and rebooted. Hung during reboot. This is where the problems started.

I reasoned that uninstalling Crossbreeder, wiping cache, and dalvik should get me back to the pre-Crossbreeder install. Unfortunately, it also hung during the loading.

I thought, OK, I'll restore the old backup (the 4.1) and try again later. So I...

- Did a wipe of cache, data, system and an install of the original 4.1 ROM from CWM (the files are all on the SD card). (The idea being that once I have the old ROM running, I can restore from CWM.)

The problem is that this also now hangs during first boot (the pink unicorn).

I though, OK, "ODIN and then a full restore". The problem is that I cannot get the laptop to recognise the USB device! So, I tried another laptop - one with a bare W7 OS on it - installed the USB drivers and it immediately says USB device not recognised.

So, in summary:

- I can get into Recovery and Bootloader no problem.

- 2 separate laptops refuse to recognise the USB device (using the drivers from Samsung), so I cannot use fastboot.exe or adb.exe.

- Doing all the usual wipes and reinstalling the original JB 4.1 or the newer JB 4.2 ROMs both get stuck during boot, so I can't boot into Android and way I try.

One other odd thing: when I go into recovery and format /data, it reboots. I have seen one post on that which said "use ODIN" - in my case I can't as I cannot connect via USB.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eushaun99:
Try a different cable? AFAIK CrossBreeder won't bootloop your tab. I'm running it right now. It wipes your dalvik so you have to wait quite some time to boot.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mossywell:
Cheers for the ideas.

Yes, I've ordered one - will arrive tomorrow.

In this instance it did: was rebooting fine, on went CrossBreeder and it didn't boot. But, it doesn't make it clear that it should be used with caution, so i'm not complaining. :)

Yes, I've run it on 5 different devices - many versions, and the tab 10.1 takes about 3 minutes at a guess. I've left it 25 minutes now and it is still "dead".

In many years of playing with Android, this is the first time I've managed to get into recovery and bootloader and still not been able to recover the device. Very annoying indeed...
