[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umex:
Hi, i bought my galaxy November 2012 and since then I've made about 30-35 installations of roms..I searched around the forum and it seems that there are leftovers from previous installations, also, in some posts there are scripts that can clean your device, but the download links are broken...Can I delete leftovers manually with a root explorer?

Also, I've noticed that odin has became extremely slow, yesterday i waited for it for 40 minutes, several times I decided that it was stuck....but it wasn't; can this slowness be related to files, left from previous installations?

I saw this app - "Root Cleaner", should I try it out?

How can I make completely clean installation so that nothing old survives? If I use pit. file and odin stucks, will I be able go in "download mode" and reinstall...?

Hope that you can direct me! Thanks.

P.S. I'm trying to be understandable, but my English is not exactly perfect,so don't get mad :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMasterOfToast:
Downloading of script can be done, the links are perfectly fine!

I recommend Hawkerpaul's Nuke script (warning: this will delete every thing on yor device!!!)

Do not under any circumstances use .pit files!! Only if you're absolutely 101% sure what you're doing - then you can use .pit files. And there's a splendid Odin guide made by XDA's Hopper8. here you can read about it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umex:
I'm definitely not sure what I'm doing, so I won't use .pit files. So i got this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2100558

I'm a complete noobie, i've read about it, there are 4 scripts, i'm not sure which one to use...

GS2ROMWipe - This wipes pre-defined areas of your device without performing any backups beforehand.

GS2ROMNuke - This does everything a Wipe does, and also deletes the following Android/Application-related folders on the internal and external SD Cards.

GS2ROMReset - This performs a additional tasks on top of a standard factory reset for your current ROM. This is designed to return you current ROM to its factory defaults. You will not have to re-install your ROM after running this. Just reboot and you will enter the Android installation wizard as normal on the first run.

GS2ROMClean - This will remove the following known temporary and corrupt files and folders.

It will attempt to remove them from your internal/external SD card.

I will use Nuke.It says to run it only before rom installations,but how does it work? I go into recovery, install it and how do I run it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMasterOfToast:
Good choice, same as i would! ;)

Okay, but keep in mind that this will delete everything even from your internal and external sd cards. So if you have anything of value, anything at all - back it up.

I suggest you download HC-kTool from play store. Back up /efs. Then the files that appear after the /efs folder backup - back them up to your PC or a cloud storage (eg. dropbox) If you want to know which files had been created, sort the files after date. (keep in mind that there will be folder created too and if you've chosen a 'folder come first' policy in your file explorer, those folders will appear after all the lonesome files)

Just to check. In my phone (i just ran it again) there will be two files and three folders containing the necessary files to perform a /efs backup.

Now that /efs is backed up - you are good to go. Just 'flash' the nuke zip file as you would flash any ROM/kernel :)

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umex:
Thanks for the assistance! I ran the script through recovery and it "wiped" everything then it warned me to flash new rom.I did so, everything went OK , but it hasn't wiped the internal sd card, all my files are still there, i hope it has erased the leftovers from previous installations....Thanks again! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMasterOfToast:
It wont delete everything in sdcard. The system files will be there, but application data wont.

Glad it worked out! :)

PS. Don't say thanks - press it! :)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotgaofla:
Hi guys. I deleted many system apps that i dont use, my L3 E400 is speeding up and running flawless. I want to delete more app, and my work end up having 2 apps that i am not sure about them.

They are:

LG Debug /system/app/LGDebug.apk

LGATCMD Service /system/app/LGATCMDService.apk

I tried to freeze them using Link2SD and my L3 didnt crash or any bug happened. Then i use Titanium to freeze them and temporary remove them and again nothing happens.

My question is: is it safe to permanent remove 2 apps above? and what are they used for?

Sorry i use google translate, english is not my 1st language.

those apps are used by lg software to connect your phone on your pc.

removing them you'll get nothing about performance

do not remove them

I heard that the camera on this phone sucks. I wasn't aware of this. Is there some kind of setting needed to straighten out my problem. Each time I press the camera bitton on the side or tap the CAMERA icon the screen turns green and very grainy. Waht have I done wrong?

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] marcviado:
So as the title states.. im thinking of buying this phone soon but have acouple of questions to ask..

First off I know I wont get any 4g connection but I will be using it on at&t. What kind of data connection will I be getting? Is anyone here using this on at&t?

And second..I know this phone was just released like 2 months ago but roms/devs.. I see this phone has lots of potential to have great roms. Are there any devs or anyone thats working on any? I see cm 10.1 is in the process I think so thats a really good start.

[Nexus 7 General] Techsavage:
I sadly broke my Nexus 7's(2013) screen and digitizer in less then 5 days. Shameful I know, but anyways I contacted Asus since there wasn't anything else I could do. Their customer service set me up with a representative within 5 minutes. I explained my problem and he told me that they can fix it but it may cost me. There wasn't another option so I said okay. So they sent me an email with a form and told me to ship my Nexus to a Asus repair facility. I did and within in a week they sent me it back and fixed the screen and digitizer for FREE! Yes free well unless you count the shipping which was a small price to pay for fixing the device that wasn't their fault in the first place. Anyways if any of you have problems contact Asus I'm pretty sure they can help you. I'm so happy thought I lost my Nexus.
[Nexus 7 General] H4CK_H0PP3R:
Very true, they sometimes replace your tablet & give it new one...I RMA'ed 2 times ,both times they replaced parts & also gave me new battery ...

You got lucky on this one. Plenty of people have good and bad experiences, but this one probably comes out on top of what I've heard on the positive end.

[Nexus 7 General] turshija:
In Serbia they are even better !

After only 1 month of my normal Nexus 7 usage, some weird stain appeared on my screen (something like a fingerprint made of dead pixels):

PICTURE

I called Asus customer service, explained my problem, read my serial number, and after that they just told me to pack it in a box and write some number on it (inquiry ID), they will come and pick it up from me (i gave them my address). ONE day later I received a call from a guy who told me he is outside my house, and to bring him my tablet (it was Friday).

6 days later (Thursday) same guy called me to say he is outside my house again, he brought me my tablet back (fixed, of course) :)

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s_m_a_s_h:
Is there a kernel or ROM cleaner for the s advance?

Kernel & ROM cleaners (used before flashing a new kernel or ROM)

smash'n
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
From my experience with this phone, when you install kernel everything from old is gone. And when you want to clean install ROM you do factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache and you can wipe system. Never used any cleaner.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s_m_a_s_h:
Yep, you're right (they're proved text book maneovures) but on some specific phone models developers go a few steps further and dev scripts (flashable zip files to be used before changing the kernel or ROM) that deep clean/wipe reminent files/folders' such data left behind by old kernels and ROMs; or they have done for the S2 etc to date.

I thought maybe there was something similar for the s advance. I guess not.

It was just a query.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thanyo:
What's up guys I'm a noob to this whole android community but already I prefer it over the iPhone community. I have a Verizon s4 with the latest update. It has a bad esn, do I have to wait for an unlock to connect it to cricket wireless or is that possible now. Wasn't sure if that update affected the unlock process. Forgive my noob ish questions. But thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thanyo:
S4 unlock Bad ESN 2 CricKet?

Lol, thanks for nothing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Southern_mind:
So the phone is stolen or something? I know you can use it on gsm network?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1454:
Umm, I'm pretty sure why no one answered is because it's not possible. Just a thought. Typically if someone has a way to do it, it will be in the development section. I think you can only use the device with an operator that has sim cards. (except for sprint, I haven't seen any confirmation there.) since, Iirc, cricket is all cdma based there is no way to get the S4 on their network. Someone can correct me if my understanding that is off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Yup. The S4 is GSM unlocked, but carrier locked to VZW on CDMA. Of course, there's a chance a custom rom could overcome that, but since I'm on MDK I can't run any custom roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
You mean ME7. MDK can use custom roms without issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thanyo:
Ok cool. I came across a really good deal, so i was wondering if it was worth it. Thanks guys.

Try this thread, I'm not sure about cricket but pageplus uses Verizon's network and the s4 can be flashed to work. PM viper who posts in that thread and he can help you. Guy is completely legit.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Pandahands66:
Huh?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ricarika:
My is showing 768x1184.why is that?becose when I Google phone spec. It should be 768x1280
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Pandahands66:
I have no idea actually. Where is it showing that?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Ace42:
Nothing is wrong.

1. There's a status bar

2. There's a gigantic obnoxious navbar

These two subtract from the 768P resolution.

Two solutions:

1. Expanded desktop+PIE = No status bar + Nav = full screen real estate

2. Pie = Regain some screen space
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ricarika:
You have to dovnload app like screen spec or device info
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ZULU2189:
Honestly though, what is the point of this? We all have the same resolution. The only thing that could change is the DPI. If maybe by some twisted chance that's what you're trying to ask, I keep my DPI at 300. I'm not trolling or flaming, just confused by this.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] nedooo:
Well all Nexus 4 have same screen resolution.

Hope this helps to who ever is concerned :angel:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Calex93:
The navigation bar (the bar with 3 buttons on the bottom) does not count when checked with those device info apps.

Hence your 768x1184 means your navbar is taking up 96 pixels. (1280-1184)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ricarika:
hi and thanks to all.the reason is.I just bought my nexus from 4 from eBay uk but the box is Chinese.than I was not sure if it is not fake.than checked device info and my screen resolution 768x1184 which is different than the one which I found on the internet.same with the ram .it is shoving Max 1872mb.all I wanted was compare if other ovner of nexus for have the same device info as I have.thanks
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tiru.adi13:
Like people said above, the 1184 is because the navbar and status bar use up some space.

And as for the RAM, it's fine. 1872 is alright the rest is used by system (I think)

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] enchilader:
Alright this may be a rather stupid question, but this is my first flash and I need a bit of guidance.

Following the instructions on the wiki on how to flash, I run a simple fastboot -w after booting into the bootloader. It returns with an error saying FAILED remote: not allowed and kicks me back to the prompt. What gives? A simple fastboot devices shows the device, so the computer sees the phone.

Does this method only apply to phones with s-off, and a different approach must be taken when dealing with a phone that is s-on such as this one?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] coldconfession13:
U just flash in cwm or twrp
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] enchilader:
This just gives me what seems like a loop at the HTC logo. I left it there for about 10 minutes with no results. The process is delete cache, davlik, data, system, then install via twrp, then delete cache, davlik, and data again correct?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] coldconfession13:
Just factory reset and system install this ROM and reboot

Settings_stock.zip

Settings_revert.zip
