[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee yun khong:
Glad to hear that.

Now wait and see whats will going on. But for secure ( still under warranty) , if your devices being roooted before. Is better you reset the flash counter to 0 and rest the status phone to official in the mean time you testing your devices. Just in case something happen you able to claim new sane chip. If after fewdays the problem was gone then you can root your phone again and do what you like.
[Motorola Photon 4G] 6thSense:
Sorry for the subject. Didn’t know how to summarize what happened.

I rooted my phone successfully about a year ago. It worked fine, no problems. A few months later I went to use the WiFi Tether app, and it said tethering started with errors. When I clicked the error it said - Wi-Fi Tether has been denied by SuperUser permissions.

I immediately logged into Titanium Backup Pro and it said root access has failed, followed by this error: Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and included BusyBox, and try again. This attempt was made using the "/system/bin/su" command.

I really haven’t had time to troubleshoot this before, but I have a few days free and was bored. However it's been so long that (1) I can't remember what steps I took to root it the first time, and (2) I’m not sure how to fix it from this point? I started researching how to update to Jellybean, but I need to figure this out before I possibly brick it trying JB.

I'm a little confused as to why a root would no longer work out the blue? Does the carrier (Sprint) send updates similar to iOS? What really confused me is when I power down and plug in the power cord, I still get that black screen, green font, which prompts me to reboot, boot from SD, etc. Assuming that means I can use that screen to boot a ROM and try to re-root it?

I'm a bit lost and not sure where to start...again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pradeeppk:
First of all check superuser application.

may be you deleted it accidentally.
[Motorola Photon 4G] 6thSense:
When I checked Superuser, it said "Last allowed on 6/23/2012 at 4:47"

The log showes Titanium Backup & WiFi Tether denied.

Is there a user guide for using this SuperUser. I am an IT guy, but need to be approached like a noob.
[Motorola Photon 4G] krnfrk6663:
Whenever this happened to me I just typically reflashed. I think it's a kernal thing. I'm not too sure, but after updating everything all was better. I think I flashed a different kernal by this point. Hope this helps.
[Motorola Photon 4G] 6thSense:
Dumb question, but the kernal is the ROM, correct? I'm not even sure which one I used. Sad, huh? Any way I can see that through that initial screen or through Titanium?
[Motorola Photon 4G] krnfrk6663:
Kernals are separate from the Rom, stock has their own, developers had custom ones as well. You can see the kernel type you have in about phone. If a Rom comes with a kernel, they usually point that out. Look into it. I'm not 100% knowledgeable on it.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ilyasovich:
Hi everybody

I'm looking for "how to change the default apps and wallpapers on mediatek devices" in order to make my own custom ROM.

For default apps, I tried to put .apk files in /system/app, and created a backup using MTKDroidTools, but it didn't work (like the MX Player apk file). Can someone help me for this.

Also I couldn't find how to replace defalut wallpapers in my stock ROM.

I have a iNew i2000 (MT6589)

Thanks :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] akash akya:
for that you have to put .so files in system / lib folder...btw putting apps like mx player is not a good idea.... as user can install them... it just make rom bulky...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ilyasovich:
Thanks for answering :)

I have to edit .so files? if so, which ones? and I will have to do it with which software?

For default apps, I used MX Player for testing purposes, I want to put a custom app in order to be a default app in my ROM

Thank you again :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lolet:
To change default wallpaper you have to edit framework-res.apk, and replace defaultwallpaper.jpg

To change wallpapers in launcher you have to edit Launcher2.apk, and replace wallpaperXX.jpg and their thumbnails for your dpi

To add apps, put them in /system/app, and if it contains any lib in apk package (check it using 7zip or winrar), extract it and put inside /system/lib/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ilyasovich:
Thanks, I'm going to try it and I will tell you the result :)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danherbert:
I have a Sprint Nexus S 4G that I keep in Airplane mode most of the time and rarely use (an hour a week at most, usually). I use it so rarely that it shuts off due to low battery a lot.

The last time it shut off, I wasn't able to boot it up when I turned it back on. It got stuck at the Google logo indefinitely with the bottom buttons lit up. I can boot to CWM Recovery (v6.0.1.9) but when I do, I get the log message "Error mounting /sdcard!" or "E:Can't mount /sdcard/" when I try to search for an update.zip on the phone, or try to mount or format /sdcard. I tried using the "adb sideload" command to install a ROM from CWM, which fails with:

I also tried using "adb push cm-10.1.2-crespo4g.zip /sdcard/", which does not fail with any errors but still am unable to mount /sdcard/ through CWM so that obviously isn't any help for me.

I can boot into fastboot and tried flashing back to stock with these commands using the image files from this thread.

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

When I flashed using the commands above, I got no errors in the terminal but my phone still would not boot past the Google logo. Afterwards I was able to flash CWM Recovery back onto the phone with no problems but CWM still can't see the /sdcard partition.

I also tried all of the suggestions on this thread with no success.

Nexus S stuck on google boot logo

For an even crazier attempt at a solution, I found a person with a similar problem to mine where they ran a hair dryer over the phone for a few minutes to fix it. That didn't help, either.

I think my nexus died

At this point I'm out of ideas and was hoping someone else might know something I could try. I planned on getting a new phone soon anyway but was hoping to be able to use my old phone for a little while until that happens.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smit.sanghavi:
You've tried all sorts of things to recover the SD card portion. Which I think is badly corrupted.

I think your internal memory card has died. I suggest going for a new phone.

One last effort will be to install a different recovery and try formatting the SD card from there. Try Philz Touch or TWRP.

[HTC EVO 3D] rapol.goutham:
Hello guyz,

I followed the guide form here, after 3 days of struggle finally it generated cm-10.1-20130802-UNOFFICIAL-shooter.zip file in the output directory. And then I flashed it to my evo but it just switching off a few seconds after htc logo.

I have uploaded zipped file which consists of all the files generated in this process, if any person have any idea on how to fix it please help me.

Download from here

Edit: Today I have flashed along with pre-compiled raring-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip, now the device is not switching off but stays at black screen with LEDs on.
[HTC EVO 3D] johnnyboi1994:
should this be here as it's not complete..
[HTC EVO 3D] rapol.goutham:
I felt same as you while posting this thread, but as porting of ROMs comes under development category I opened up a new thread under development forum. I think any ROM which works or not should be under development forum to get help from devs to get issues fixed.

If any moderator feel that it is inappropriate to post this thread here, please kindly move it to the correct location.

Thank you.
[HTC EVO 3D] gokart2:
There is no bootanimation for Ubuntu. It boots the splash screen, then it goes to a black screen for awhile on my N7. The black screen is the boot animation screen more or less. And it depends on what build you try. One day it boots, the other day it jumps me back to the multirom screen. I'm sure it would infinitely reboot if I wasn't multirom-ing. I'm dual booting using

THIS

method, therefor it doesn't wipe everything and I can bounce back to a more stable android. Ubuntu will be kick ass when it hits hard. I can already see a bunch of benefits.
[HTC EVO 3D] rapol.goutham:
If we wait for more time does it display any UI? What might preventing the device from successful boot? Did it ever made to its desktop?

BTW thank you for your link, I'll try to dual-boot along with android.
[HTC EVO 3D] gokart2:
Not sure for this phone, try it? The N7 booted up. My phones hanging on to it's last breath, I'm not gonna push it anymore then I have too. Ubuntu runs off the normal android kernel, not an Ubuntu version. So I'd say kernel would have a lot to do with it working or not. The .img files they have are bootloaders, so that may be an issue. Although the ubuntu boot img isn't needed, the android one works.The version I got to work was the "saucy" July 27th or 28th build, haven't tried anything after that. That specified dual boot only works for some Nexus devices. Can't remember how long it took to boot, I'd assume as long as any normal initial boot of a rom. I would go to another forum where it has been ported, and ask/read hard there. Good luck.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] KevinZero:
Has anyone noticed scrolling being a little too sensitive in the Dolphin browser? I'll barely flick and it'll fly down or up the screen. I'm running stock.

Also anyone else feel like the glass is a little too slippery sometimes when you're trying to do precision touches? For instance trying to long press an icon so you can move it around on the home screen.

I absolutely love this thing and also the screen and the way the glass feels but these are just a couple minor quibbles I noticed and am not sure if it's more prevalent.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] PowerPC:
I upgrade to latest firmware and hboot for the international 4.2.2 ROM. Everything works fine.

Now, the OTA arrived and in order to apply OTA for enabling new LTE band, I need to go back to stock. So, i download the stock ROM and flash. After boot up, touch screen doesn't work.

I tried to revert it back to 1.4.4 hboot/firmware (not AT&T i think). Still doesn't work. Anyone know where I can get the stock firmware and applied? Try to avoid the full RUU if possible.

Thanks.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cee43ja1:
I haven't seen anyone post a AT&T firmware flashable zip. Most likely they stayed on stock firmware that came with the phone, like me, or they updated to 2.24 firmware.

RUU might be your only choice. But in order to RUU, you need the 1.44 HBOOT. If you're S-OFF, flash the 1.44 HBOOT first then run the RUU. If you're S-ON, you're stuck. RUU won't run because it can't bypass the security check of S-ON.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] PowerPC:
You are right. I have to use RUU to roll back to stock. At least, I got S-OFF to get back. Now, when checking update, didn't give me anything yet.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RAZORS3DGE:
As the topic says I'm thinking about getting a Nexus 4. I currently have a Note 2 on AT&T and I bought that because I didn't want to spend the money on a tablet.

Now I have a new nexus 7 and this phone in all honestly is too big at times. I'm always on WiFi at work or at home so the LTE is not that important to me. My question is if the N4 is still a good buy? I'm planning on selling my Note 2 on eBay and paying for the nexus with that money. Any advise is greatly appreciated!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davezaff:
Most peeps love their Nexus 4....its all up to what you prefer. However, the lack of LTE on the nexus is a draw back .....being on WiFi all the time, it is not missed. Runs like a top and you don't need to worry about not getting updates...runs android the way Google intended and does it well
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RAZORS3DGE:
Thanks for the fast response, LTE would be a drawback if I used it a lot but my company gives us WiFi access and I have access at home of course.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moe3754:
I had a Galaxy s3 but was tired of waiting for AT&T and updates, because of my limited funds it was either a old Galaxy Nexus or the N4, because of the old processor and the problems that I read on XDA about the Galaxy Nexus and how it was having problems with 4.3 the N4 was a no brainer and since LTE was no big deal for me I went with the N4 and took delivery last Friday and Google is sending a Bumper with all N4's for a limited time. It is a great phone my only worry is the glass back but I am sure with time that will fade away.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjunk:
Can't vouch for AT&T 3g, as I am on T-Mobile, but for the price I could not find a better phone to buy unlocked at full price.

If I had to sign up for a contract anyways to get the service I required, Ii would haves chosen something else if the price was right.

It is a great, phone, but there is better out there depending on your circumstances.

I need unlocked to use international, and I had been on AT&T prepay 10 cent a minute plan before I purchased and switched to T-mobile. For the amount of talk and data I use, the $30 100 min voice / unlimited data & text T-mobile plan and a nexus 4 from the play store made more sense, especially since AT&T did away with pay-per use data, or any data at all unless you buy a monthly talk package.

The T Mobile 3g is plenty fast, but seems to get a bit overloaded in the afternoon in my area. I tried a nexus 4 and an S4 LTE in a couple of stores side by side, and in the good 3g areas there was no difference, but in my local store the LTE was more consistent and faster in the afternoons when the system seems to get more use.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajendra82:
I had a Note 1 before I jumped off onto a Nexus 4. I am much happier now. Nexus 4 is the first android phone that I have been fully happy with. I am still mostly stock but have rooted for the sake of security and backup. It's the only phone that I have not had to reboot for 20+ days. With Note 1, the stock Touchwiz was unbearable and old, and CM 10.1 rebooted four times a day.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biscuitownz:
I came from Gnex which I thought no phone would be any better in terms of quality. The n4 matches if it not exceeds it. Not to mention, it is also faster :)

A Nexus 4 has lte if you're on t mobile and Canada. Just flash a hybrid radio and build prop edit as well as lte apn and you'll get lte if there's lte in the area.

Personally, I'd wait for the Nexus 5 because it's just around the corner.

you want to do it without unrooting u have to learn how to deodex a stock rom then u hv to pull the root boot.img from ur custom rom and put it in the stock deodexed rom and then convert it to flashable ZIP!!!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] holdenjr1642:
As far as the source code, I guess we could eventually find the possible back doors but; by installing an app like this, the user will have to grant the permissions to control the hardware on the device. Since Google could conceivably just give passwords away to law enforcement or whoever, installing this app would be an instant back door that is only as secure as the password. For this reason, I plan on staying with my third party device managers: Cerberus and Lookout.

Since this is just an update to Google Play Services which requires no change in permissions, some of what I just said doesn't really apply but, Google Search has access to the microphone. Free smileys aren't really free.

There are several themes and icons that go great with Cyanogenmod. In the Play Store, look under "CM10 themes" or "AOSP/AOKP Themes". There should be plenty with the Cyan color. You could also do a search here on XDA for Cyanogenmod themes. Hopefully this will help you...
