Have any devs confirmed latest patch set fixes that reboot in to recovery? http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/59758/

As you see in comments the bootmode should be set to '7' for reboot into recovery, reverted that and added another remedy.

planning build an UNOFFICIAL one for testing that later today in case of no one could verify it.

EDIT: uploaded test build http://goo.gl/04YUWo

reboot into recovery

Tested cm-11-20140227-NIGHTLY-otter2 and reboot into recovery still not working, seems little interest anyway. :)

wait... lemme clarify one more thing, that reboot into shutdown issue had begun on cm11, right?

If not, please lemme know the last time that was working on our tablet, thanks :)

Please excuse my ignorance. What is the difference between the following two ROMs:

CyanogenMod 10.1.2[Unofficial] by SilverL

CyanogenMod 10.1 [Official] by tbalden
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
Not really much difference.. SilverL's is newer so go with that. It also has a different kernel so you may or may not get a performance boost from that
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] kirril:
Unofficial is more experimental than official
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
in some cases, but actually not this one. SilverL can't put official since he isn't a member of the CM team but tbalden is. But both builds are up to par just SilverL is still maintaining and tbalden moved to another device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] head90:
Hi,

I recently install the Cyanogen 10.2, i got an issue. Some applications can't install from the Play Store, telling me an "unknow error 110". The problem is not present on all apps, but a good part of the old apps i had. So I try to install the apk manually, but the phone does not want either.

I've try the delete my Google account, delete the application data store and play framework, and clear the dalvik cache.

I had no worries when I was on Stock Rom 4.2, and the problem appeared when I install a Custom ROM.

Does anyone have already encountered this problem?

Thank you and sorry for my english
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skywalkerdroid:
Make a clean ROM install. That will fix it. Or download a Play Store apk file and install it over the one you have now.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] head90:
Thx. I've try to reinstall the apk, but it doesn't work. So I'll try to install the ROM again
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skywalkerdroid:
Ok, good luck with the clean install. It should be OK if you follow all the steps.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] head90:
I've make a clear rom install and averything is all right.

Thank you for all skywalkerdroid
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmo0001:
so far these steps helped me out

1) make sure the following apps are NOT frozen (by Titanium Backup) or deactivated (by Settings/Apps), i.e. activate them through Settings/Apps/Activate:

- Google Play Store (the Android Market GUI)

- Google Play Services (a subset of this service is required for the Play Store GUI)

- Google Services Framework (otherwise Google Play Services will crash occassionally)

- Download-Manager (required for updates/downloads of apps within Play Store GUI)

- Downloads (the corresponding GUI module)

- Package Access Helper (required to calculate free space etc. before installing/updating any app; this one caused Play Store Error -110 / Play Store Fehler -110 for me!)

2) reset these apps either using Titanium Backup or Settings/Apps

a) Titanium Backup: Go to backup/restore, click the app names as stated above, click on delete data

b) Settings/Apps: Open each app as stated above, click on delete data

3) downgrade play store and play services

- go to Settings/Apps

- find Google Play Store

- click "Uninstall Updates"

- do the same for Google Play Services

- Reboot

- Run Google Play (or Android Market on older Android OS)

4) If none of the three steps above worked

a) either go back to factory settings

b) return to your stock rom

c) re-flash your initial gapps.zip (search for gapps and your Android version i.e. "gapps.zip 4.2.1-eng")

Hope this helps!

Regards
[HTC Sensation] pushpann:
I know the obvious ans would be to use 4ext superwipe.

What I want is like re-writing those partitions with all memory locations set to zeroes. The 4ext full wipe only works like quick format in windows desktop.

Any ideas how to do it?

____________________

Solved. See post 17 for details.
[HTC Sensation] astar26:
Had to search a bit, but found an article that explains how to do this. It links to 3 apps (havn't tested myself, just remember there's no going back), from the description the first one only works on SD card, the second one might (it does not mention which partitions it formats), and the last one seems to be removed.

I did not read the whole article, but I suggest you do that before doing anything.

Good luck.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

A RUU will reset everything back to stock, and fix any partition issues.

Is that what you are after?

:)
[HTC Sensation] astar26:
As he said, he wants it to be completely formatted, meaning no data can be recovered, which is like a hard full wipe - no way to restore.

RUU does format the data partition, but it only removes records of files, and the data itself is still available and possible to read (until new files will be written over it).
[HTC Sensation] pushpann:
No! I dont want to get involved with RUU stuff.. I just want to completely wipe my phone.. Like complete formatting of the USB drives. All system and data partitions set to zeroes.

In simple words, if you do quick formating on pendrives, you can restore (some or all data before format, depends on what you've put on the drive after format ) using some Data Recovery tools.

What i believe is that recovery just wipes the memory addresses, without putting zeroes on all the memory locations. have been googling for this for almost a week, haven't got any clue yet!
[HTC Sensation] Far_SighT:
I would do it this way (this is something I came up with, and if it screws up anything, you are responsible) :

Write a script that reformat your nand rom and then dumps (creates) a huge file containing zeroes. Then reformat using 4ext and repartition.

I am curious, why exactly do you want to do this? The lack of results from Google would suggest that this is not something people would normally do.

JAM THAT THANKS BUTTON.

Happy to help.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
I assume you're not going to use the phone after?

If you aren't going to use the phone after, one word. Sledgehammer.

If you are keeping the phone; create a file on the partition filled with rubbish (linux has a command for this). Make sure it fills the entire partition and then run mkfs.ext4 /dev/block/partition. Repeat a dozen times or create a script to do it for you.

It's easier than erasing the whole NAND disk and partitioning it. Mainly because you'll wipe the recovery partition and create an expensive paperweight. Which brings me back to sledgehammer.

Sent from my HTC
[HTC Sensation] astar26:
On my first commented I linked to an article which gives two ways to wipe your phone (set to zeroes and all). Here are the two apps:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kovit.p.forevergone

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.ethz.infsyssec.sddroid

Try those to see if they format the Data partition.
[HTC Sensation] pushpann:
Hmm.. My phone has become very laggy.. No matter what ROM flash, what firmware I flash.

By hearing what you say, i kinda feel little scared to do these steps. Anyway thanks for the suggestion..

Those apps dont work.. By internal data they mean internal sdcard not system or data partition.

BTW just saw this app called lagfix. It says it will discard the unused blocks, but doesnot work on my phone.. Has anyone tried it? For me it's saying trim on system,data and cache not supported! DAMN
[HTC Sensation] Far_SighT:
Yeah, I had similar thoughts. I was going for repartition becasue then the whole of nandroid can be wiped in one go.

To clean the phone, sledgehammer / mowing the device with a car (or both, one after the other) are the best methods.

Here's one more idea.

Create a pseudo nandroid backup with all of your nandroid partitions(/system /data /cache etc) filled with garbage/zeroes. Then restore that. And bam, the nandroid is hard formatted (after a quick format of course).

Like always, it's your phone. I am not responsible for anything that you do to it.

JAM THAT THANKS BUTTON.

Happy to Help.
[HTC Sensation] astar26:
Tried it yesterday, it's meant for certain devices that did not use the TRIM command like they should (Many Nexus 7 tablets were slowed down by this issue), but it seems the Sensation does not need it (or at least our kernels do not support the command).

What seems as the only way to do so is to create many blank files and delete them (like many already said). you can create a large file and copy it a few times to the Data partition, which will fill it, and then delete it. using a normal file manager will work (or you can use "adb push" command to push the file a couple of times).
[HTC Sensation] pushpann:
You sure it does complete format while restoring nandroid? BTW i still am not sure how to fill system and data partitions with zeroes or garbage! Anyway thanks for the heads up :)
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
You shouldn't have to worry about formatting empty space. No one ever, except possibly computer forensics is going to want information from an empty phone. They have access to browsing history from Google, call records from your mobile provider and ban access details from your banks. They wouldn't need your phone. There are things that make it hard for the average person. Including mounting the NAND disk in a way that it can be opened like a normal disk drive, and then running the tools to restore data. If someone really wanted data it's possible but they will not go through all that for 500MB of bank details, porn or whatever people do with phones these days. If you're trying to hinder the police because you did something wrong, then you should just stop.

Theoretically it can be done through an android device but cross compiling tools to recover data is long and tedious to do. There is nothing so important that someone would spend hours creating tools for an Android device to restore data that may already be irrevocably gone. Not to mention the learning curve for new software. If you are worried, burn the device and buy something new. That is the general rule for sensitive data. Make sure it's gone before you move on.

It's safe to click "Format all partitions" and then erase your SD card and give your phone away.

If it helps, install Android on top. Choose something big. Most of your application data is stored on your SDCard FYI.

Lastly, if it's lag you are trying to fix. Go backwards with Android not forwards. JellyBean demands more than ICS and ICS demands more than GingerBread. Having the latest OS doesn't work for everyone. For example, Windows 8.1 doesn't work for me because there's no fastboot support without huge editing of system drivers. The same is true in Android. GingerBread stability may be more important than ICS or JB features, or JellyBean features may be more important. However don't expect lag free 4.2 or 4.3, our devices may work with it, but they were never intended to go above 4.1(Ville C2 updates stop there too I think) due to hardware limitations. Others may argue differently, but you should question the effort they're (including me) putting in with kernel and device tree upgrades. It's amazing work nonetheless but it basically shouldn't have to be done if the device were supported. Buy a new device if you want the latest and greatest. My Sensation has become a trophy for me to the amazing things you can do with one of HTCs first dual core phones. I don't expect it to work without some kinks and bugs or even fatal flaws but I still respect it for having running Sense 3.0 to 5.0 (yes I've tried it).

Sorry for the rant. I'm a little bit grumpy, but hope it helps explains why you can mostly erase and install a new version of android then throw the device away and be relatively safe.

There's probably going to be someone who reads all of this and thinks I'm crazy, to that guy or girl. Thanks for reading all of it!

[HTC Sensation] pushpann:
I dont wanna sell my phone and I know that my data isnt that valueable that anyone will try to read my data with hard efforts. My sensation used to perform awesome 2-3 months back, and now that I must have quick formatted my system and data partitions more than 1500 times, i think a full wipe may do some help for those nag n lag issues.

And about going back to GB? Man, Everyone feels GB is sad after using ICS/JB. If my phone doesnot stop lagging every second after I format these partitions, i think its time for a new phone!

Anyway thanks for such a detailed reply :)
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
The lag isn't from formatting. You can try ARHD ICS if you want. Or probably Sense 4+ with 4.1.2 but anything above that might not work out great.

[HTC Sensation] Far_SighT:
How old is your Sensation? I could well be that your nand is dying. In that case, repartition your phone and make /system and /data from parts seldom used (like /cache).

If you want data security, full encryption will keep noobs away.
[HTC Sensation] pushpann:
Thanks for the replies guys!

Today i actually did the zeroing of the partitions with Nandroid method.. I download an app called dummy file creator and it created dummy files(files with zeroes all over it. after searching in internet it seemed legit method of fully zeroing out the memory locations) in data partition untill it ran out of memory. Then i copied those files to system partition too manually till it also became full(I had to do this manually because the app didnt support creating dummy files in system partition) and made nandroid of data and system separately then did almost a dozen time 4ext format and restoring the nandroid. Finally i formatted all the partitions and installed Codename Lungo ROM(CM10.1).

HELL YEAH! it feels FASTer. Not sure if its gonna last long.
[HTC Sensation] astar26:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rickm8384:
First thing I would try is Odin back to stock, do a full full wipe. Then reroot and reflash tweaked. From there you can make a judgement if it's the phone or a bad flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Another thing to consider - what kernel are you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chon117:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Easiest bet is most likely looking at Settings > About Device > Kernel version - it won't completely spell it out but it'll give you enough in the way of clues to know at least.

And we have a winner. Try a different kernel. Trinity (which is what you have) doesn't play nice with some phones
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Ok - looks like you are running Trinity. A great kernel, though it doesn't always agree with everyones phone. I would recommend trying the stock kernel for now, at least to see if it the situation improves. You can get it from a number of places, including the modificatinator. Hope that helps :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chon117:

nice! can I just install a kernel from the tweaked modificator or which one do u recommend?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chon117:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
I personally run stock kernel, but any of the options will work (except Trinity obviously)

What's a good one to overclock except the trinity haha
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Sorry I don't overclock
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EyLaTnOgN:
I use the saber kernel in the original developement thread. Very nice and smooth. The battery life is amazing and with the rom Kintwofan produced. Lasts me for days. As for the overclocking. I think is just going to drain your battery. The phone is a speed demon as is. Its a quad core clocked at 1.6.

its basically going to show some speed improvments but not much.

I've been scouring the internet looking for an answer about USB host mode on the 2013 Nexus 7 as well, and I can't find anything about it, other than one stray comment on the Google Play store saying that it does not. I'm still hoping that it will though. I ordered two of them at work, they will be here on Tuesday. I'll try a USB device on one of them first thing, and I will let you know.

If the 2013 Nexus 7 doesn't have host mode, I'll be sticking with a 2012 Nexus 7. That's a dealbreaker for me.

This should work. It's an MicroUSB OTG cable (It came with an Android Stick), and attached to it is one of the little USB MicroSD card readers that are often included when you buy the SD Card.

(The card is shown pulled out from the reader).

I cannot verify that it works, because I just got my N7(2013) tonight, and I have not yet rooted or installed Nexus Media Importer.

For right now, I stuck my old tablet's card in the Micro-reader, and stuck the micro reader in the USB port on my NAS, and I am pulling everything back down with ES File.

I'll try mounting OTG Storage - perhaps from the command line, once I get some time to play with this thing.
