[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] limepickle:
I am looking at developing an application that will be used to conduct on-site installation surveys. It will be designed to be browser based, and will be targeted at a pocket pc platform.

The user will start a new installation survey, and will be able to add a series of 'checkpoints' throughout the survey. The best way to describe it is to say for example that the engineer is adding proposed locations for light-switches all around the site, and needs to add the location, type of light switch, some notes, and perhaps a digital image taken from the camera of the pocket pc. Each 'light switch' will be an individual record in a database.

When the survey is complete the engineer will have a collection of light switch locations,along with notes etc. These could potentially be large in file size, so I was planning on having the 'survey' stored on the pocket pc and upload it to the web server DB when it is finished.

My question is, does anyone know of an application that has already been developed, as I don't want to re-invent the wheel.

cm has its own kernal.so wen u r flashing another rom after cm, need to install kernal also.in ur case u can use COCORE E 7 OR 8 by cocafe.

so before flashing do factory reset , cache partition and dalvik cache.flash the rom , wen complete flash the kernel also. and it will take hardly 10 min. if no luck then better redownload the rom using any download manager

If flashing kernel doesn't work

You can always try to flash stock few through Odin

Or have a backup of any stock with you
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
You need to be on stock based rom (kernel must be stock) to install another stock based rom. Only way you can install some stock based rom over cm is if that rom has embended stock kernel (or some mod of it like cocore). If you install it over cm kernel you will end up with bootloop. So now it is best to flash stock fw with odin, root, install cocore and than this rom. Or with Universal kernel flash, install cocore from cm and copy rom before booting to recovery. You will not be able to boot into cm after installing cocore. And you must unzip kernel.bin.md5 from cocore zip to be able to install it with Universal kernel flash.

Hi,

I have been trying many different Rom's from now and then. However, recently i have a problem. I installed XR650 rom v14 after a while i changed the rom around 5 times. Currently, i am using suvi rom v13, whenever i restart or power on my mobile. The XR650's developer name image comes first then only the suvi rom boot animation is appearing. Why this is happening? How to delete the XR650 rom developer boot image.
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
Upgrade to SUVI v15 it will get fixed as I have included that.... Otherwise you can flash a boot logo which you want...
[Micromax A110] srini155:
Thanks I will do that!

Hi,

First, I thought that also but i like ver 13 very much that's why i didn't change to 14 or 15. Moreover, I didn't like the red theme wallpapers. Ok anyway i am downloading it right now. Let see how it works. Thanks for the immediate replay.
[Micromax A110] furiouskid:
its happening because your previous rom's boot logo is still there in your device ...i think you want to get back to stock boot logo if yes then download it from bottom and flash it in cwm :)

Using stock Nook HD+...everything was working fine for a few weeks, but now scrolling (in firefox, chrome, etc) is jerky. Killing apps didn't help. Rebooting didn't help.

Any ideas?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You are probably suffering from need of an emmc trim. It is akin to defragging on a PC. But the issue with some HD+'s is you can brick your device doing that as some HD+ emmc chips are buggy. Read about this in the CM10.2 thread.

I don't know if this will help or not, but you could try going to my HD/HD+ CWM thread and make a bootable CWM SD, backup your device, and do an immediate restore. That re-writes everything to emmc. Then see if it helps.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loveleo:
Do you mean the trim is buggy on the hardware side of nook hd+?

I also experienced the slow down on stock rom and today flashed to cm10.1.3. smooth so far with occasionally screen flickering (going black and come back on). Is trim supported in cm10.1.3? And if not, can we run the lagfix in the playstore?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You can run the one from Play Store, but I'm telling you that the internal memory chip may be buggy and you could brick your device. It is a problem with the hardware.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loveleo:
Sure do not want to risk bricking the device, not worth it. Maybe doing back ups and refresh every a few months then. Hardware problem usually means there is nothing we can do though. Too bad.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ntice:
I don't think scrolling has anything to do with the storage (everything is in RAM after all). It's like some internal Android graphics setting got changed somehow. Could an ordinary app make a permanent change like that?

Actually it could very well do with not trimming flash RAM, as lots of things go one in the background, including reading from/writing to DBs. After I did CWM backup/restore, my Nook HD+ 16GB was a lot smoother on browser/launcher/etc. What a sucky eMMC bug.
[Motorola Droid 3] FrankieDedo:
Ok, this is the trouble: I bought a 32gb Samsung card for my D3, i noticed then, that apps couldn't placed on the ACTUAL sd card, but only on the (oh so genially) internal soldered 16gb sd card, contained in the phone... i then made the trick that let phone mounting the external card as the internal and vice versa, following this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21032236

It worked really well, but now, everytime i plug the phone into the pc USB, as a memory drive, it reboots... some time i manage to connect successfully, but often it reboots, after a couple of seconds... sometimes i managed to select "charge only" mode, and it didn't rebooted, so it's not an hardware problem (i think).... I noticed that if i unmount the external sdcard (the 16gb one, therefore) it doesnt't reboots...

I modified even the init.rc situated in the root, swapping every "sdcard" voice with "sdcard-ext" and vice versa, but maybe there are some other files to change... any idea?

Thanks in advance to you all!! :)

I am having some problems with Play Books.

I've got a Nexus 4 and Nexus 7. Both on Stock Jellybean 4.3. Latest Play Books App versions on both.

I'm reading my books mainly on my Nexus 7. And it would be nice to be able to read them on my Nexus 4. When I have to leave home for a while. The problem is the page sync does not seem to work.

I've cleared the cache on both apps. I'm using the same google account on both hardware devices. I've even tried turning off the sync on both devices then turned them back on.

Whenever I go to use the Nexus 4. It see's my books, but just flatly refuses to sync with the last page I was reading on the Nexus 7. Once and only once has it ever noticed that I had read ahead on the other device and updated my position. I've tried everything. Can someone please shed some light onto this for me?
[LG Optimus G (International)] dapaua:
There is a modem for the optimus G here:

http://downloads.codefi.re/houstonn/lgog/modem/E975_E977_E976

but it is from firmware 10b. You may want to try if it works better than your firmware. In this case, it is better if you make a backup of your current modem firmware, so you can go back to your version. Here I will write instructions to backup your modem, so you can restore it if you need.

Probably some of you know this already and feel like these are old news, but maybe we can build a modem firmware library.

You need root and a way to make an adb connection to your phone. If you cannot use adb, you can always use a terminal emulator on your phone, but this makes it a bit harder to type the commands. Also, this is for people who understand what they are doing. If after reading the tutorial you don't understand what the commands do, please don't try it. Or at least don't make me responsible if your phone bricks. Here we go.

NON NEEDED STEPS: This steps are here to show why this works.

1-Connect to your phone by adb.

2- On the terminal type :

mount

You'll see the following (amongst other things):

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem /firmware vfat ro,context=u:object_r:radio_efs_file:s0,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0337,dmask=0227,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 0

This means that the partition containing the firmware is /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem and it is mounted at /firmware.

NEEDED STEPS

1- Connect by adb

2- On the terminal type

su

Check if confirmation is needed on the phone screen. If needed, accept.

3-

On the terminal type:

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem of=/sdcard/modem.img

4-You will receive the following after some seconds:

131072+0 records in
131072+0 records out
67108864 bytes transferred in 29.959 secs (2240023 bytes/sec)

5-Type

exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/modem.img

6-Now you have your backup.

HOW TO PACK THIS BACKUP FOR FLASH:

1-Download the file: cwm-lgog_e975-europe-10b_modem.zip from http://downloads.codefi.re/houstonn/lgog/modem/E975_E977_E976

2-Open the zip file and replace the existing modem.img with your file

3-Rename the file to something meaningful, like cwm-lgog_e975-europe-10f_modem.zip

After these steps, you should be able to flash any modem, knowing that you can go back to your old version.

You can upload the packed files here, so we can have a library. I will upload the modem from european 10f version here. I tested it and it works correctly, but I won't take any responsibility for what you do with this file.

Good luck.

All this info is obtained from examining the houstonn LGOG modem flasher from team codefire, so all thanks go to them. Thanks.

could you please do the same thing for the misc partition and upload it somewhere?

I saw that freegee is touching this one so please mention if your phone was opened with freegee.
[LG Optimus G (International)] dapaua:
I am sorry, I am not going to upload my misc partition, as this partition contains my IMEI.

I can, however, tell you how to backup it:

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc of=/sdcard/misc.img

Can I ask why you need that?
[LG Optimus G (International)] sonty:
I had no idea the IMEI is also there. I asked for it because the baseband version is also stored there and it's kind of odd to know I'm flashing the modem from EU-10f and the displayed version is TW-10a. I'm still hoping to solve that issue.
[LG Optimus G (International)] dapaua:
Ah, OK. Tomorrow I'll check if the misc partition can be mounted, this would make editing it much easier.
[LG Optimus G (International)] jumper8:
I think it is not possible to mount the misc partition.

“In any case, the misc partition isn't a "filesystem" partition as you are familiar with. It is actually just a simple data structure. In fact, only the system, cache, and userdata partitions are actually filesystem partitions, and the cache partition is only a filesystem partition part of the time -- during radio and spl updates, it also is used as a simple data structure with a header field and a payload field...”

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7254425&postcount=3

I was trying to find some additional info about this structure but without success so far.

On may F180K the misc partition has 16 777 216 Bytes. Some interesting offset:

0x8000 – 0x800E IMEI (15Bytes)

0x8800 – 0x8824 Baseband version (37Bytes)

0x9000 – 0x9024 Baseband version (37Bytes)

CyanogenMod display the last one data on the Settings->About phone->Baseband version
[LG Optimus G (International)] dapaua:
Thanks.

You are totally right, this partition is not a filesystem. And it is mostly empty, it's all zeros except for some bytes. Most of it are text strings, but there are some small binary parts.

I think the 0x8800 - 0x8824 part is the original firmware version.

I wouldn't touch that partition, seems too dangerous :) .
[LG Optimus G (International)] sonty:
freegee touches it. I see it made a backup and the difference is that it changed some bytes to 0 (offsets 0x40-0x52), then wrote ANDROID-BOOT at offset 0x4000. the rest is the same. it seems there's nothing like a crc so basically I could write whatever I want in that version field. the bad part is that as an user you'll never know what modem version you have since its version is not stored on the modem partition. I wonder who came up with this system and what was he thinking.

thanks for the clarification. offtopic over :).
[LG Optimus G (International)] jumper8:
Some time ago I had the same issue. I solved it by modifying binary data on the misc partition. I was done this only on CM10.1 (F180K). I don’t know if it will work on other custom rom especially stock one.

Today I’ve done this one more time for preparation the following procedure. Maybe some one will use it on the future.

STEPS:

0.	Backup the misc partition with your recovery. I was used CWM Advance Edition PhilZ Touch 5:

Backup and Restore-> Custom Backup and Restore->Custom Backup Job->Backup misc (*)

I’m not sure if all CWMs version support misc partition backup. TWRP not support it right now.

1.	Dump the misc partition to /sdcard.

adb wait-for-device
adb root
adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc of=/sdcard/misc_orig.img"

OUTPUT:

32768+0 records in

32768+0 records out

16777216 bytes transferred in 6.539 secs (2565715 bytes/sec)

2.	Pull the image to your PC

adb pull /sdcard/misc_orig.img misc_orig.img

3.	Edit downloaded image file by your favorite hex editor (e.g. Notepad++ with Hex-Editor plugin)

Find both baseband name strings (mine were on offset 0x8800 and 0x9000) and change them (CM10.1 use the last one to set gsm.version.baseband in file /system/bin/fetch-swv).

REMEMBER:

-	Do not use regular text editor (like Notepad or vi) – they can add some extra characters to the file.

-	If possible try to modify only bytes responsible for original baseband name. If the new name is shorter, simply put spaces char (0x20) to clear unwanted chars. If you need to put the longer name, be careful. I don’t know the max size for this string. There are dozens of zeros behind the baseband name on my image file. So, for testing I added extra 20 Bytes text. The new baseband name was shown without problem.

4.	Push the modified image file to your phone

adb push misc_orig.img /sdcard/misc_mod.img

Check if size of the original and modified files are equal.

5.	Write the modified image to the misc partition

adb shell "dd if=/sdcard/misc_mod.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc "

OUTPUT:

32768+0 records in

32768+0 records out

16777216 bytes transferred in 4.183 secs (4010809 bytes/sec)

6.	Reboot your phone

DONE.

[LG Optimus G (International)] hash.86:
ok as a newbie i cant figure out how to back up modem using adb... but after reading stuff what i did :

downloaded "Android Terminal Emulator" from playstore

open emulator in phone wrote as u mentioned :

after some seconds this came out :

131072+0 records in

131072+0 records out

67108864 bytes transferred in 15.229 secs

then :

exit

exit

after that i checked sdcard but there was no img file...

then i open file manager from the phone and there it was my precious :laugh:

size = 64mb... is it normal?

anyway .. made a new folder "modem" copied the img file into modem folder (using file manger) again connected the phone to pc copied the modem folder on my desktop...
