kies is samsung's own proprietary software to be used for backing up your data,, contacts etc.. And to upgrade your firmware whenever Samsung releases newer version of Android...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajneeshk:
Kies before connecting whether the device status is genuine or not. Since you have already rooted and installed custom ROM , kies will not recognize your device.

Kies makes it easy to transfer / backup your media files, contacts, e.t.c.

You need to install official firmware for your device in case you want it to be recognized via Kies. You can refer sammobile.com for more details.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I don't have a custom rom I have the stock one rooted. But I read that I can use kies only if I have a rom from my country. Where can I find this rom? If I root this rom by flashing superSU will kies be available?

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajneeshk:
After Rooting Kies will not recognize your device. You can find the firmware for your country from sammobile.com and it will be genuine samsung firmware.:victory:

Hello

I have just applied the latest KatKiss install to my tf101 and it looks great.

I need to encrypt my tf101 (to get work emails, the tablet needs to be encrypted before our IT would allow it to be hooked up to the work network.).

I have very few apps running, so not much space used. I tried to encrypt and have left it overnight, and all I get is the black screen and the android logo, and the system does not get encrypted.

I can reboot, and it will come up but unencrypted. I have cleared the cache and Devlik cache as suggested in one of the replies in the forum.

I have previously managed to encrypt using ICS with no issues.

I am at a loss, and was wondering if anyone can think of any suggestions, it is greatly appreciated. Thx
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fnd0001:
What Rom would you recommend that is based on Jellybean and has encryption working?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larryka:
FWIW, I installed KatKiss 4.3_020 (coming from the stock ROM) yesterday and see the same behavior when I try to encrypt my TF101.

A: Not relevant to the question.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] at45:
The answer is the Cube Talk 79. It has a slightly different form factor (8" 4:3) which isn't a problem.

There, now wasn't that better than reading a page of "why?", "This doesn't exist" and "Tablets are stupid" posts like most threads these days? I think I'll do Q&As more often.

ive just rooted my galaxy s4 and im just wondering what to do once I've done so. Which unused apps I should delete (which came with the phone) and how to download different themes and stuff.​
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vhngu930:
You can flash s custom ROM or kernel. Uninstall system apps with a root explorer by deleting the apk from system/app

right well how do i go about flashing roms and getting different themes and stuff on, im new too all this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abarai91:
use in the search bar a galaxy s4 choose better for you and follow instrution...

you can flash a Rom whitout rooting your phone.. you just need a cmw to enter in recovery mode..and all the modified rom have root inside :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vhngu930:
1.download a ROM and gapps(Google apps).

2. Make a backup with a backup app

3. Enter recovery by turning off then press and hold power+volume up+home.

4. You should see the recovery(if it enters download mode, turn off by removing the battery and holding volume down instead of up)Wipe data,cache and dalvik cache (dalvik cache so in advanced at cwm recovery). Install the ROM and gapps.

5. Wait

6. Reboot

I'm not responsible for anything

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lfisgd:
I am fairy new in this and would like to know if anyone can tell me how to do a full wipe and reset of this tab? I picked up a used one yesterday to experiment with. I already have 1 since long but never got to flashing it because of the brickbug thing. So it came with some custom 4.0.4 rom and I flashed JB stock onto immediately with odin but for some reason it seems sluggish and also rebooted itself once where all apps got deleted?!

I read that on stock ics doing any kind of wipe can brick the tab? Is still the same on jb? If not can anything please be kind enough to tell me how to go about completely cleaning everything out? It is to my limited understanding that just flashing a stock rom leaves all kinds of things lurking around underneath? Especially since considering it came with a custom rom on the previous owner my have flashed lots of things without properly cleaning up?

oh and I just got it rooted with cwm so that's done at least.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
JB has been reported to be brick-bug safe.

Boot into recovery and factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache (in advanced) and reboot. First reboot may take a while, so be patient. ;)

Setup and let the ROM "bed in" and build its caches.

Edit: if you still have troubles, do the above and also format system partition, reboot into download mode, flash firmware with Odin, and 're-flash the cwm recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lfisgd:
Thank you for taking the time to answer! This is exactly the kind of helpful info I was looking for.

Would I gain anything from flashing your kernel and is that something you would recommend that I do?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Of course, there's lots to gain or lots to miss out :p

There are many many features that improve it over stock kernel.

There are a couple small random bugs, but they are also reported to be present on stock kernel.

Please have a full read of my kernel Post #1 to #3 and decide for yourself if it's for you. I've also provided the stock kernel for flashing which I recommend to always keep on your device.

You can flash the kernels via custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) or ODIN.

As always, please read the disclaimer too. ;)

Take your time, and make an informed decision on what best suits you :)

Edit: if you do decide to flash it, make sure it's the P6800 JB 4.1.2 kernel (NOT P6810 ICS 4.0.4). The are two different threads......
[Sony Xperia ZL] musicajamasoida:
Hello there, fellow members!

Last night with a friend we were discussing some stuff about the Ouya, and the next idea came into my mind: I would only purchase one because of the emulators and being able to connect it via HDMI. But wait, I can actually do that with my phone. What if I plug in an HDMI cable, a PS3 joystick and the charger into my ZL? It would be a nice way to play PS1 or N64 games. But yes, then I realized that the phone only has one USB entrance, which is the same for any of the above mentioned pheripherals.

So, what brings me here is the following question: are there any USB adapters with multiple slots compatible with our phone? If I tried a generical PC one, would it work? Or using three different functions in a hole that's made to support one at a time could damage the phone?

One of these, for example (combined with a mini-usb adapter on the cable), would work?

Thanks in advance, and best regards =)
[Sony Xperia ZL] einfachgaer:
I don't know if our ZL can handle multiple USB devices. But if you want to try it, you would need a USB Hub with external power supply because I don't think that our phone can put out that much power. :P
[Sony Xperia ZL] bouvrie:
I think the Ouya has several device-exclusive games, but the ZL can play indeed Android games and emulators.

However, I think the only way to do what you have in mind is to:

1) Connect the PS3 'joystick' via Bluetooth. That way, you won't have to use the MicroUSB port.

2) Have an MHL cable for the MicroUSB to HDMI.

However, with point #2, powering the device will still be uncertain. The MHL (2.0) specs allow for powering your device when connected, but

A) Your TV will have to support MHL as opposed to HDMI.

or

B) Your MHL-to-HDMI adapter works as backward compatible HDMI, and requires external power to work.

In both cases I don't know whether the phone will charge and if it even does, whether the power will be sufficient to compensate for the (added bluetooth) power usage of the device.

It is for this 'contraption' that I initially wanted a device with both MicroUSB and MicroHDMI port, so more connectivity would be possible.

Anyway, I ordered all accessories I need to test this (but I don't have an MHL-supporting TV), expect info on this as I find it out. :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] maclancer:
The concept is interesting but the problem with the ZL is the battery life, if the battery will not be able to get charge, you only be able to use it for around a hour or hour and half playing games or watching videos from a 100%.
[Sony Xperia ZL] bouvrie:
I hooked up my ZL to my monitor yesterday, using MHL to HDMI. Output worked when I supplied power to the adapter, sourced from the monior's built-in USB hub. The ZL was charging while the MHL cable was connected.

I streamed a 1080P MKV movie over local WIFI (n), other services(data connection/bluetooth/NFC) were turned off. After the movie was done, I checked the power usage and the battery level had remained pretty much the same throughout the movie.

So I think with MHL to HDMI, the device is only able to retain its battery level, rather than charging it to full. Having said that, the screen was turned on the entire time throughout the output; if I can turn off the screen while viewing, this could save the battery some more.

I'll perform more tests this weekend; I want to use Bluetooth as input device (I've somewhat given up on having Infra Red controls) and have audio played through the ZL speaker rather than over HDMI to my monitor (that has no speakers built in). Ideally I would want to combine this with my USB Host / OTG 4-port USB hub, but alas MHL and USB Host are mutually exclusive on this device.

it's related to the kernel.... I have seen people talk about this before... like some famous kernel doesn't support some fat32 file system or ext4 don't quote me I'm not exactly sure but what I'm sure of its the kernel and the supported file system

also try formatting the card in fat 32 file system just incase you haven't as most electroNic consumer devices support that file system but not NTFS

once again check the name of the kernel you are using and Google it along with corrupt memory card you probably will see results

Shipped_ROMS

Dumped_ROMs

Modified_ROMs

Extended_Roms

BigStorage_ROMs

Radio

Thanks Joel
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] RAGOv:
Shipped=original ROM provided from factories(ex:O2,T-mobile,I-mate...)

Dumped=ROMs dumped for SD memory cards upgrades(forget about them for the moment)

Modified=Modified ROMs using kitchens(forget about them also)

Extended=ms_.nbf=not ROM image,but extended ROM where softwares are preinstalled,and start automatic installation after a hard reset...(also forget about them)

Big storage=enlarge ur storage space by freeing the extended ROM memory..(not now,so also forget about them)

Radio=radio_.nbf=not ROM image but ur phone part upgrade(ur device is a phone and a PDA,these ROMs take care of the phone part)

Unlock=not ROMs but tools to unlock ur device if it's locked from communication networks like t-mobile,etc....

so,as a conclusion,use shipped ROM folder... :wink:

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] joelwu:
Very detailed explaination!

Thank you very much.

I will try to upgrade my device in this week end, good luck to me

Just curious about how other customer the extended rom etc.....

And I saw many CAB file to install... is this those modification that other have make to improve the device?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] RAGOv:
Hi...

In the Magician,extended ROM customization is not as easy as other devices.

For himalaya devices,u can use ER2003edit to open ms_.nbf files,edit them by replacing the cabs,or u can unlock and unhide ur extended ROM using extrom unlocker,then u wille able to see extended ROM as a removable drive,and u can edit cabs within...(note that cabs are *.cab files,or cabinet files,those files are executable on ur PPC,almost every program or software is a cab file,even if it doesn't look like,cab file must be contained in,exept executable applications on PPC like .exe that runs directly by clicking on)

In BlueAngel,ER2003edit don't open it's ms_.nbf,but still u have an extrom unlocker for BAs....so u can also edit ext ROMs...

Now in Magician,and due to the difference in hardware architecture(Magician have one rom slot of 64mb),this device don't have (yet) an ext ROM unlocker,and ER2003edit do not open it's ms_.nbf files....(and the member (Anansky) who did the big storage and we all believe he can make or help in making extrom unlocker,seem to have vanished... :? ...)still,there's advanced methods to customize ur ext ROM,but take into consideration that they r not easy....

1-by dumping the ROM to storage card,then using ntrw and a hex editor to cut a partition of the decoded ROM(the ext ROM),mounting it as virtual drive using total commader plugin,editing it,and reflashing using SD method....ouff...read more about this method from here...

2-by freeing ur ext ROM memory using big storage,then making a folder called 2577 on ur storage card,put in autorun.exe and a .zip file containing ur cabs,so,once u do a hard reset,the cabs will be installed automatically from ur SD card....read about big storage from here and here...learn about 2577 folder from buzz's site... http://www.buzzdev.net/

note that this method does not make u an extended ROM like ms_.nbf,but will do the job as it will install ur favorite cabs directly after hard reset....

Good luck...

Just to share with everyone after few days trying, I have succesfully upgrade my dopod 828, the main problem is facing the Error 150, the Upgrade utility is not designed for this device

The procedure is more or less the same as pervious post in this forum, but just little bit different

1. Right click on the EXE-file and extract to a named folder (using Winzip or something similiar)

2. You should end up with about 6 - 8 individual files; ms.nb1, radio.nb1, nk.nb1 ruu.conf, ruu.dll, enterbl, getdevicedata and maupgradeut, the maupgradeut is the file that runs the upgrade

3. Download the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe

4. Once you have this file you will need to add this to the folder created above as this is the file needed to initiate the upgrade.

----- until step is exactly the same

Skip this step-> In ActiveSync, click on file and connection settings and untick the USB connection.

5. In ActiveSync, go to option -> Schedule, Set it to Manual, this is to make the PPC USB connection to ActiveSync active but don't do any Sync with your PC and PPC during the upgrade process.

6. Connect the phone to the USB, manually sync once. From now onwards, the step is the same.

-----

7. Now run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe

8. The upgrade Wizard will start, go through a few checks then eventually come up with the country Id error.

9. Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file again and this time it should allow you to run the Wizard.

10. The process should then go through 3 stages which should last about 10 - 15 minutes.

11. When finished you should get the upgrade successful notification and a prompt to reset the device

12. In ActiveSync, click on file and connection settings and tick the USB connection.

13. Enjoy your new ROM

I am trying to upgrade my Dopod 828, and I get a error no. 150 said the ROM is not designed for this device... oh.....

As you maybe noticed, the Filesize is quiet small. You can expect i deleted many Sony Apps.

- no walkman, album, video, sonyselect and so on

- deleted many other apks (such as google contacts sync, google calendar sync, chrome, etc. etc.)

+ xperia home is included (themed some little parts, disabled home stage background, colorscheme)

+ included xposed installer and the tinted statusbar module. this module gives us a nice experience

+ reduced navbar height

+ lockscreen-maximized-widget backplate removed

+ added jellybean clock (light themed) (changed colorscheme a little bit)

+ modded systemui.apk (see screenshots)

+ framework-res.apk modding (some apps with dark theme will have a light theme now) --->

Screenshots

---> there are textcolorbugs, but nothing annoying.

+ Xperia Z1 Compact Stock Email Client (4.3) UK nice UI, imap push!

+ new sounds/ringtones

If you miss some App/Apk, simply grab it from the original deodexed Version in the noticed thread. Any other app, you can find in the playstore.
