[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Gunstra:
I have been flashing and playing different roms for awhile now but I have noticed that my phone is running out of space so quickly these days. The internal sd card is full and my external sd card has a little space but that's it, and the phone won't do updates or new downloads due to the internal card being full.

I was wondering, I want to go back to using CM10 again on this Blaze with the latest gapps, but I want to wipe EVERYTHING and start fresh, I have backed things using wondershares mobilego (as well as a manual backup of both sd cards, internal and external).

Can someone give me a good medthod on wiping it all, system, cache, dalvik, internal sd card and external sd card and doing a fresh install of cm10 and gapps.

Thanks in advance :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Romman0:
Download the latest cm10 nightly and 4.1.2 gapps from the official cm10 thread to your external SD card.

Boot to cwm and go to mounts, and format:

System

Data

Cache

Emmc

Do all of them several times.

Go to advanced and wipe davlik cache a couple times too.

Then install the cm10 zip followed by the gapps. Wipe cache and davlik one more time. You can format the external SD card any time later, after you verify boot (suggested). You can use a PC or the built in format under settings/storage.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Gunstra:
Wouldn't I also need to do format /sdcard several times as well to format the internal sd and then after I am all done I can do the format /sd-ext to format the external sd card? Which if I format the sd-ext it won't hurt anything I did for the install of CM and gapps right?

By the way, thanks for your help I appreciate it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Romman0:
You can format the external a couple times. Sometimes things get left behind, that's why in suggested the multiple wipes. You don't have to worry about SD ext, the partition will get wiped when the external SD card is formated. If you didn't create the partition there's nothing to worry about. I wouldn't format the emmc (internal SD card) after installing a rom as some of it is used.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Gunstra:
Thanks again, I did as stated above then booted up, made sure all worked fine then went back into cwm and formatted the sd card (not the sd-ext). I am now putting some music and photos back on the sd card so I have them with me. Latest CM10 Nightly from the 4th seems to freeze a little bit when trying to do things on my Blaze, maybe I just need to reboot it again after I move the stuff over.

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Romman0:
Give it a a little while to settle. If it is still giving you issues try the previous nightly from 7/28.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
Part of the internal storage is cached at /cache. It caches a bunch of things, such as mount points and app usage. When you wipe cache and start over, expect things to be slower for a couple days/reboots. Then it'll settle, as was said above :)

Good tips Romman0. I try to do this every 4 months or so. Blackhole and FSC only make it better, but that's clearing leftovers and realigning empty blocks and messing with the filesystem and a lot of technical junk

Anybody wanting the double tap wake screen feature. It is cool! Not to use a button.

But will it make a big power lost with this function?

Hoping some dev to port it to AOSP :)
[Nexus 4 General] randomnoob83:
There's an app called touch control that unlocks with double tap but doesn't lock it. As for battery it doesn't really do much to battery m.
[Nexus 4 General] facetubespam:
I would love this function as an app. Genius! Would make owning a giant phone easier.
[Nexus 4 General] Ulver:
Double tap to wake has been around since the galaxy nexus with touch control. LG probably stole the idea from that dev.
[Nexus 4 General] randomnoob83:
Or they stole it from Sony and Sony stole it from that Dev
[Nexus 4 General] Swos:
touch control do it... (kernel allowing it)
[Nexus 4 General] Ulver:
When did Sony do that?

Hi guys

I searched everywhere before posting, so sorry if it's already been asked.

Has anyone gotten either of the apps in title to run on 4.3? I just can't get it to hook :)

Regards
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sicto:
Try GameKiller, works for me :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLostSoulxX:
Gamecih won't work on 4.3 gives the system to deny root even though I granted it access. However gamecih worked better for certain games. Game killer is fine too but didn't work for some games.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLostSoulxX:
Well stardom had a problem where when doing the money cheat it put it in a loop and didn't actually change it with game killer. Whereas on gamecih it actually worked. And game killer doesn't find all results that game cih did
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neefy:
GameKiller worked perfectly! Cheers

Turn off vibrate in settings.. Much easier.. The boomsound speakers do the rest if it be into your pocket. ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4waii:
You can do this with Tasker, set a sensor poll for the accelerometer and if it's face up, or face down, you can disable the vibrate motor.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphamale99:
It lowers it everywhere but faux has an app that you can adjust the vibrations system wide.

You need to go to factory website and get the stock firmware, download live suite (should be at the website) put tab into download mode and flash it

Be sure to flash the proper firmware for your model or you could loose WiFi and other things as well.

Freaktab.com has lots of info on these tabs too, or if you search a bit in xda you'll find some info too

Hello.

I recently modified my s5830i (Samsung Galaxy Ace) with different ROMs. After some modding I did see that i could not call. When i tried to call it came up with the message "Mobile network not available". After some research and stuff i figured out that it was a problem with my IMEI or EMF. I did check my emf folder in my device and saw that it did not contain any content, whole folder was empty. Now my question is; Can I somehow restore it? I have mt IMEI number but not any file for the folder. If anyone can help me I would be very thankful!

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrk190:
My phone's screen still won't work. I've since gotten a new phone, but I'm sad because my PLAY is still broke. I've flashed stock ftf, and I've even taken the phone apart to see if the ribbon cable was damaged. It was fine, and I put the phone back together. When I boot, I get a vibration, and then nothing. The screen stays off, and there's no sound. I'm able to fastboot and Flash, but this is still a huge issue. Any suggestions? The PLAY itself is in perfect condition, and I'm willing to sell it if anyone thinks they can fix it or something.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Verilin:
I have a Sprint L720 GS4 that was originally rooted and running CM 10.1 off of the official nightlies. I flashed the new CM 10.2 build for jfltespr posted here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2383143

Aside from a few apps acting weird because of the new way Android 4.3 handles notifications, everything runs pretty smooth. Biggest issue is that I lost root after upgrading. (Focal is bada**, in case anyone was wondering lol. I love having Photosphere on a non-nexus device)

The research I have done trying to solve this says all I should need to do is flash Chainfire's newest SuperSU app (v1.43 at the time of this post) and bingo, you will have root access again because version 1.43 gets around whatever issue Android 4.3 has with root. I have flashed this via CWM recovery and get the error "There is no custom binary installed and SuperSU can't install it, this is a problem. If you just upgraded to 4.3 you must manually re-root." when opening the SuperSU app after the phone reboots, and no root apps like Root Explorer or Adaway work anymore.

I have wiped data, cache, davlik, fixed permissions, re-flashed the CM 10.2 ROM and the 4.3 Gapps, then the re-flashed SuperSU app, fixed permissions again, and still nothing, tried several variations of the above process for several hours. As per procedure from Chainfire's G+ posts on how to do this, I did select 'No' when asked if I wanted to disable stock recovery flash as CWM is rebooting the phone. What am I missing?

BTW, I have no access to computer/laptop ATM, so if there is a way to do this without having to use ODIN or some other rooting tool, that would be great.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nicotheandroidguy:
Roit is now in the setting app under superuser make sure prompt is on then reboot and you'll be fine. It worked for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Verilin:
So did that, went to superuser in the settings app, made sure apps had access, made sure prompt was on, everything else looked OK, rebooted. Still getting the 'No custom binary installed' thing with SuperSu and have no root access. Any other ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nicotheandroidguy:
Reflash the rom and Gapps you won't loose any apps make sure you don't have any trace of super su then do what I said in the last post.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Verilin:
Couldn't get the supersu app to uninstall so I did a data wipe to get rid of it, re flashed ROM and gapps, went into superuser settings and set them as above. Still no root access via root checker, other root apps also don't work. Any other ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] PwnCloud:
Same issue on Pac-rom 4.3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Verilin:
Anyone have any more thoughs on this? I know there's a huge movement that thinks Root isn't really needed anymore, but I do it for Adaway and being able to move files I download from internal to SD Card (which file explorers won't do without root for some reason), not to mention having CM on my phone. Lol, I almost can't wrap my head around the fact that I have a custom ROM and a custom recovery but no Root access.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] babyshrimps:
ES File Explorer will accomplish this file moving without root.

Are you using Odin?

No computer... Answers that.

Do you have goo manager?

If no DOWNLOAD IT.

You may have to flash the recovery file (again. You have to do it two different ways to achieve root) through goo manager.

Goo> Menu> Install Custom Recovery it will ask you if you have custom installed. Select yes and it will freeze up for about 10 seconds and USUALLY reboot into recovery and voila, full and proper root achieved.

Source: I dealt with this for almost 2 days and accidentally figured it out. None of my super apps would work. SuperSU, SuperSU Elite, Superuser, nada.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Verilin:
Thanks for the suggestion. Downloaded GooManager. The path you specified doesn't exist. It is GooManager>Menu>settings>install OpenRecovreyScript. I tried that path anyway in case you had just accidentially misphrased it. It downloaded a TWRP file, and then did nothing else, didn't reboot. I tried rebooting to recovery directly through the main menu in GooManager, but it gives an error because I don't have root access. I have to manually reboot to recovery. Thankfully (I prefer CWM to TWRP) it didn't install TWRP. I still have CWM and nothing else has changed, still no root access.

Using a file manager when trying to move something from the downloads folder on my internal memory to the SD Card, it says operation failed every time, and in GooManager, I cannot access my SD Card files, only internal memory. I tried to re-flash the ROM via GooManager in case that would get results, but the /extsdcard is not listed and I cannot access the root folder to get to it.

I will try just about any suggestion that anyone throws up here because I am at the end of my rope with this, but doing anything via the settings or through an app is likely not going to work because you have to have root access for these things to function to start with in most cases. I had a similar issue when I first rooted my S4. I carelessly accepted the OTA update on initial activation without thinking about it, then when I went to root it I found out that update added a SETUID RESTRICTION to the kernal, essentially changing how Superuser apps interact with the kernal. I had to track down the original kernal and flash that to remove the SETUID RESTRICTION so SuperUser would work. I have a feeling the solution to this will be along those lines, but in hours of researching the only thing I can find to do is 'Flash SuperSU, it will re-root your phone'.

Is there anyone else that has had this issue with the unofficial nightlies of CM 10.2 linked in the OP where the Chainfire SuperSU workaround for re-rooting doesn't work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] PwnCloud:
I'm not entirely sure what I did, but my Super SU is working properly now.

Last thing I did was flash a version of Super SU I knew worked pre-4.3 (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s...UHFu_xV9MFXYEd9A8ZltJ8l6RjX2l2QtUcGFlWWA&dl=1). I opened it and it gave me the regular error, so I gave up and decided I'd wait a few days. However, I just checked this thread to see if any other solutions were available, and someone mentioned GooManager, so I opened it and it asked for SU permission, and it was granted. I then opened Super SU and noticed it works properly now.

Sorry if this doesn't help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Verilin:
I tried an earlier version of SuperSU, sadly no dice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Verilin:
So I continued to play with this, and I FINALLY got it to work. The thing is that you actually have to turn it on in two places, in superuser and developer options as well. I had tried that before, but it hadn't worked I think because I also had the SuperSU app on there. so steps I took when I got it to work:

1) Wiped data/cache/davlik (again, uggh, must have been my 7th data wipe in 3 days)

2) Reflashed ROM and Gapps

3) Wiped cache and davlik a second time

4) Fixed permissions

5) When phone rebooted and initial setup was finished, go into settings>superuser>menu>settings>superuser access>apps and adb

6) Activate developer options (tap 7 times on build number in about phone if anyone is still in the dark about that)

7) Settings>developer options>root access>apps and adb

I verified root access after that with root checker. While in developer options, I also turned on USB Debugging, I doubt that had an effect, just noting for thoroughness.

Hi fellow l9'ers

I purchased an OEM battery to have as a spare battery since I'm usually out of battery when I most need it but forget to bring it or charge it. After having so-so experiences with aftermarket extended batteries on other phones I decided that if I wanted good results on the cheap I need to make it myself. Still testing it out but initial impressions are good.

BTW.. yes it looks horrendous and I do know that it could blow up, ruin my phone, cause cancer and start WW3.... but thanks for your concern.

Source of inspiration. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1800177&highlight=battery+mod

9/4/13 Update.... after using it on a daily basis and swiping back and forth between the oem battery and my jerry-rigged battery I can say its definitely working. The performance has gotten constant and I did a battery drain comparison between the 2 using the app called FAST DISCHARGE. All option selected and cpu set to full load with temp set to unlimited. I did remove two of the jumpers and only left positive and negative connected.

OEM BATTERY........... 2hr 5min 13 sec

JERRY-RIGGED BATT..........3hr 35min 21sec

I suspect that it doesn't last double since both circuits are being powered when charged...... the first battery to be fully charged send a signal to the charger to shut off hence the lack of full power.

Over all for $10 bucks I'm not complaining.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] wbc1228:

Also, what is the battery life on this uhmmmm... phone?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] lazydevice:
How is it?

I am very interested in trying this if your results are good...How has your battery life been affected? Has it doubled? Do you use a case that works with the new "power bulge"?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Meda808:
I did that to my old i897 captivate. you only need the positive and negative connected. you're connecting the two circuit boards together which may cause problems. i would remove that one. Unless you can find a battery charger that supplies more amperage you most likely will never get that battery fully charged no matter what the android meter says.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] fastwanabe:
Ok, after a few days of heavy usage I have come across sporadic performance results. In a few occasions it would out last the original battery under the same usage and other times it would perform as a stock battery. I plan on purchasing an external charger since I suspect that both batteries are not fully being charged as the previous post mentions. I will also disassemble the second battery and take the circuit out of the equation. So far I am pleased with it's performance even though it's not consistent.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Meda808:
Cool. i work in batteries so i didnt check out dudes guide other than his soldering was good lol. essentially all you're doing is connecting the batteries in parallel. since both batteries have a circuit board that controls low voltage and temperature safety, you only need to use one as the battery will still be a 3.6v cell just double the capacity. stock LG charger shipped w/ L9 outputs .85 amps so if you could find one that did 1.5amps or 1500mah you'd be in good shape.

Like [MENTION=4344625]Meda808[/MENTION] said,you only need to connect two pins... + and -.You will also need stronger charger but... There is a circuit in a phone which controls power to battery(I think that that's why is one of the two middle contacts on battery) so... Maybe with external charger?
