Wiping data, opposed to Formatting data.

TWRP FAQ

What to Wipe in TWRP

If you are switching ROMs (changing from one ROM to a completely different one) then you should perform a factory reset. A factory reset wipes data and cache (which includes dalvik cache). A factory reset will also wipe sd-ext and android_secure if your device has those items. 99% of the time, this is all that you need to wipe and you only need to do it once, not three times as some people would lead you to believe.

If you're installing a nightly update, then oftentimes you don't need to wipe anything at all. However, if you encounter strange behavior, then you may want to consider performing a factory reset. Of course, if the ROM maker recommends that you do a factory reset during an update, then it's a good idea to follow their recommendation.

The vast majority of ROMs wipe system as part of the zip install. This means that in most cases you do not need to wipe system... ever.

At this point, cache (not dalvik cache) is primarily used for recovery. It's used to store the recovery log and for storing OTA (Over The Air) updates. You probably don't need to wipe cache, and cache is already wiped as part of a factory reset.

In most ROMs, dalvik cache is stored in the data partition, so if you do a factory reset, you've also wiped dalvik cache. In a few custom ROMs, especially on older devices with small data partitions, the ROM maker may have moved dalvik to the cache partition to provide you with more room for apps. Since we wipe cache with a factory reset, again, you probably don't need to wipe dalvik. There are a few situations where you may need to wipe dalvik cache when installing updates, but you will know that it's needed when you are greeted with force closes when trying to open some apps.

Depending on your device and its configuration, you may have options for wiping internal storage, external storage, sd-ext, android_secure, and/or an option for formatting data. There's almost no reason that you would ever need to use these items. These options are there for convenience. For instance, if you're getting ready to sell your device, then it's a good idea to wipe everything on the device so that the new owner doesn't get your private data. Note that these wipe options may not be completely destructive. If you store especially sensitive information on your device or are really concerned about your private data, then you may need to look into other options to ensure that your data is fully destroyed.

Thanks - I realize this and am installing TWRP as we speak. (I just prefer it)

I was actually reading the Complete Guide in the general section and saw under CWM install that you need to format data between switching Roms.. I never actually did this ever with previous phones. Completely my fault for reading the CWM part, not the TWRP part, right under neath. I thought the Format Data was something S4 specific since this is my 2nd day with the device.

I'm now rooted with TWRP back on.

I have P936 on stock ICS 4.0.4 (v20c Portugal)

I am looking for way to unlock my bootloader to install recoveries but can't find a way.

I tried this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2224020 but it doesn't work. My phone just reboots normally.

Does anyone know a way to unlock bootloader on ICS or is it impossible? (meaning I have to go back to gingerbread to do that?)

This will only work on the Optimus X4, I think. But on that phone it only works on v20a which is their version of jellybean not ICS.

I believe you can add your gmail account to the stock email app so gmail will show up on the watch but do incoming gmail have the push feature in the stock app?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Gadgetlover0408:
What is the name of the stock email app, trying to get step by step instructions to this.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
The stock app auto-configures Gmail as "push." I'm guessing it's IMAP behind the scenes and it only applies to e-mail, not tasks or the calendar.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
Try this, it is working for me for Hotmail.com and Gmail.com accounts.

1- Went to Stock email app(looks like a white envelope with @ symbol in middle.

2- Created hotmail.com account(dont go through manual process of setting account) and selected "push" for sending emails to Note/Gear. Put your email address and password, follow the steps and you are done.

3- Create gmail.com account and do the same as step #2.

4- Go in your Note to Settings-General-Accounts. Select the Google account and hit enter, Uncheck box by Sync Gmail.

This is how I have it set up and Hotmail as well as gmail emails are coming into the Note and Gear.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ArborRes:
I am getting proper notifications for Gmail account by pushing the mails to the stock Email app also.

It's working very nicely.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] richlum:
If you set up Gmail in the stock email app, can you still use the Gmail app to read and rely on the phone?

I like the Gmail app as it is seamless between phone and laptop in terms of marking as read, sorting into folders etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] StaticMatt:
Yes you can still use the gmail app on the phone just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] americo85:
my email notification is not working as well. tried wit imap and pop but it's not showing
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] americo85:
guys anyone here with a working email notification?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ArborRes:
You need to enable the pop3 support in the Gmail settings page first before adding the Gmail account to the stock Email app.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dipole:
Can't get this working either, no notifications from stock email app with my 2 gmail accounts. Notifications are set for stock email and accounts seem to be pulling mail down so not sure why my gear isn't telling me I have mail
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] americo85:
same here . .i had set it up with pop3 but still no notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
You need to use stock email app and when you get to a screen about server, there is a drp down option and select push. You need to also go in your ear app and in setting, there is a section for choosing which apps to send to Gear. Select stock email app, send yourself a test email and should work.

Ian B
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dipole:
That's exactly what I did, no notifications though
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
See post above me. Make sure you DO NOT choose MANUAL in the stock email app when setting the gmail account choose the option to the right of that for the system to do it all for you. In the next page I believe is where the drop down option at the top is to select PUSH.

If you like, send me a pm with your phone number and I can call you when you want. I think that will be easier than trying to go back and forth with emails.

Ian B
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ArborRes:
Yes, in the PC browser, go to your Gmail page and then to Settings.

There you will see tab menus on the top. Choose Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.

Then, you will see the option to enable POP.

After that, you can just add an account in the stock email app to deliver Gmails with the option of "push" delivery automatically.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
Weird as I did not have to touch my MAC to get the emails from Gmail to work with my Gear. All I did was set up the account in the stock email app, select the auto set up, select PUSH in the next setting screen and voila, emails coming to the Gear. I did have to go into the Gear app setting and check the email app to send notifications to the Gear.

All is well in my world and hope we can help one another get their emails and texts going.

Want to remind everyone that only the stock text and email apps are allowed to send info to the gear. If you are using something else, you may get the notification but, nothing else. You will then have to go into the phone to view the text or email.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] grapa81:
Hy

I've had the same issue, no notification at all, i've tried everything, but now solved it.

Everytime i've sent e "test-mail", my phone (galaxy note 2) was not in sleeping mode. As i gave up trying, suddenly my Gear was pushing a new mail that came in.

So for me, it only works when the phone is not awake (what makes sense in my opinion). Hope that helps someone others problem too.

Good luck.

Grapa
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ArborRes:
That makes sense to me. I don't want the notifications to clog up my watch if I am already looking at the phone.

That only wastes the battery life of the watch. Smart!

Ok sorry sir :p my bad
[General Questions and Answers] gregbradley:
No worries.

That's because some carriers have made the bootloader unlockable and there is currently no way to get around it.,

However look at this

http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/

and you can see that Sony is not the OEM of the year (As voted by XDA members) for several years on the trot for no reason.

They actively help xda devs. They give instructions on their own website on how to unlock the bootloader (On sim free devices and devices from carriers such as Vodafone UK who do not lock down the bootloader) and even give devices for free to devs (Adam Outler being one) so that people can work it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] moewwoem:
So I tried playing Cytus (a rhythm game) on my ZU while putting it on table and realized I miss a lot during those notes where I have to press them at the same time. It felt better when I held it on my hand instead but I still have some missing notes

Now I bring two phones out so that I could play the game... kinda disappointed in ZU.

anyone else have this problem/ can test it out for me?

Looked around youtube and google for gaming reviews but couldn't find any review on Z Ultra playing rhythm game...

Install Display Tester and use the "Multi-touch counter". It should register 10 fingers, like mine does. Also, i installed Real Drum, and i hit that set like a mad man, and it didn't drop a single beat.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] moewwoem:
Tried Display tester, it did registered 10 fingers. Went to try real drum, it seems alright when I spammed it randomly, but when I tried to tap two of them together repetitively (like the crash and ride) , one of them tends to miss it once in a while.

Again, I tried it while my ZU is on a table and there's the missing problem, but doesn't seem to have any problem while holding it in my hands.

Im certain I'm posting this in the wrong area, but I am thus far, unable to locate a specific thread for the evil MetroPCS Galaxy s3....or any generic CDMA thread. (That & I'm about as tech savvy as a rhinoceros)...

Im trying to 'unlock' (?) an SCH-R530m.. (the cdma GS3 with the infamous 14 digit imei/esn) so I can reuse it with MetroPCS.

I was stupid & tried to do the right thing when I lost... then found my phone. I called ins company and confessed the truth, that I found it....I sent back the one they'd sent me & in the end, I basically ended up with nothing, cause they LOCKED my original (lost... then found) phone & refused to unlock it! Yep, even after I returned the replacement... oh I now know that no good deed goes unpunished)...

Anyway, I just want to reuse it with Metro. That's it.. But when I get to the last step... (as described, below).. I can't get any further.

I type in:

1. *#22745927

2. *#197328640# and it brings up the factory service menu (very usefull)

3. Select (1) UMTS

4. Select (1)Debug Screen

5. Select (8) Phone Control

6. Select (6)Network lock

I get option in this menu, so I type in 11863", wait for about 60 secs (instructions say to then 'go back) but I cannot go back. Once I type in 11863 I'm unable to go any further....

I'm desperate here. I've literally been looking for an answer for 8 months.

Id appreciate any help!

Thanks.

Ahhhh......you forget MetroPCS is BOTH CDMA and GSM, at least right now.....remember, my question shows this was an actual Metro phone and was a CDMA....which they dont even offer anymore.... Anyway, I should have actually used the term unblacklist rather than unlock.....

Also, I already figured out how to do it, myself....6 months ago:)

I disagree with the assessment that AOSP camera is sh*t. Kudos to the developers - it's pretty fast and very, very usable, and the swipe to gallery is great (haven't seen that in any other party camera app). I'm picky about the camera.

That said, if you're set to find a 3rd party camera, then look at Camera FV-5.

Compared to all the other apps listed on this thread, it's superior with basic camera features missing in the other apps, such as focus mode, manual ISO, exposure compensation, exposure bracketing, grid layovers, etc. No gimmicky filters or effects like the others listed here. It makes a decent 'manual' camera out of the limited capability that the phone comes to begin with. It shows the 'life' shutter speed. Its auto ISO has a bias to go higher ISO than AOSP camera - up to 2000, so it may guard against shake but at the expense of grainier pics in the darker settings, but these phones aren't meant for that anyway. ProCapture is the closest to FV-5, but not as good for manual settings (i.e., after you set the exposure compensation on ProCapture, you won't see the value explicitly shown, so that could trip you). The one thing about FV-5 is it has a tad slower startup than the stock AOSP camera.
