[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] JJEgan:
Is your colour note app not synced ??

You can try RECUVA data recover.

You need to read the faqs and guides first .

Including the one that covers storage and recovery ..

Samsung reject warranty on phones that have damaged screen .
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] s_boddy:
Hi,

....no :( I had never set it up. So ironic that was on the to do list in the app.

I'll look into Recuva, is that for before or after I send it off. Is there much chance do you think?

Yes, sorry. I meant to say I also have phone insurance which covers the screen so will have it off to them first, and then onto Samsung - ie 2 places of data wiping!

Thanks for your reply though,

Kind of hoping I may just be able to fix the problem, even if only temporary, but realise it's unlikely :(
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Lord Shaz:
Hi mate,

You can try flashing just the system (and boot) images if you think it's a software issue.

That way your data partition will be intact.

Instructions:

Step 1) Download the Stock ROM you want to use

Step 2) Rename the file from .tar.md5 to just .tar

Step 3) Open the .tar with WinRAR or something similar

Step 4) Extract: system.img (and boot.img if you want the Kernel)

Step 5) Create ODIN file from .img files http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1484304

Step 6) Flash the new ODIN file to restore your firmware to Stock!

On Windows you can use Cygwin to run these commands if you don't have access to Linux.

NOTE 1: That guide uses recovery.img as an example but you can replace that text with system.img on the first line.

NOTE 2: If you are adding more than one file (eg. system.img & boot.img) simply list them one after the other with a space between each file.

NOTE 3: Do not include data.img, it WILL wipe your data! Do not include cache.img, hidden.img, these MAY wipe your data!

Best of luck, I hope this helps you out :fingers-crossed:

Have a great day!

So, here’s how you can recover data from a Soft-Bricked Android smartphone:

1. Once you’ve installed a custom recovery on your device, open it using the specific method for your device. E.g for Samsung you can turn off the device completely, then turn it on by pressing and holding Volume Up + Home + Power Key and you will be able to access the recovery. These methods vary for different devices.

2. Once in CWM or TWRP Recovery you will find a number of options.

For CWM Recovery, select “Mounts & Storage > Yes”.

In Mounts and Storage menu you will find some more options, from the list select “Mount USB Storage or the option depending upon your choice.”.

Now connect your phone to your PC using the data cable.

As soon as you connect your phone to your PC, the USB Storage / Internal Storage will open up in folder view.

You can copy all of your files to your PC now.

3. For TWRP Recovery, Select “Mount > USB Storage”.

Connect your phone to your PC and it will open up the USB / Internal Storage.

3. Copy your desired files.

That’s all! You can easily recovery all of your data stored on the internal storage of your Android device.
[General Questions and Answers] naiponnoi:
I can send files wirelessly to other androids even though there is no wifi internet around using Fast file transfer. But how about receiving files? In this case, I want to receive files from my friend's phone, which does not have any special app, just a plain android phone.

Is there a way to do this? any app that needs only to be installed on the receiver side?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmorton10:
I have a Note 3 that I bought the day they where released so obviously I don't have the latest firmware.

I have safestrap installed (rooted with delavega). I have the stock but debloated ROM in the stock slot & Beans awesome ROM running in slot 1.

I have nandroid backups of both ROMs (on my 64gig card) and I have actually done a restore of both just to make 100% sure they worked.

I should probably leave well enough alone as EVERY SINGLE THING works perfectly in my slot 1 Beans setup but I'm still kinda on the fence about flashing the new firmware (my long time Wife once commented "you break things intentionally just so you can figure out how to fix them!!").

I have never had a phone that used safestrap so this is all new to me. My questions are:

1. I have downloaded the Odin flashable tar for the new firmware. If I flash this, does it wipeout safestrap/the ROM slots etc.(like formatting a windows hard drive) so it becomes basically a new stock phone unrooted and all the internal storage blank??

2. If that is the case, can I first flash the new firmware tar, then root with kingblo, then install safestrap/recreate ROM slot 1 and then restore the nandroid of my current Beans BU and be basically right back to where I am now but with the new firmware installed??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerocool69:
I basically have the same set up as you except I’m running Hyperdrive. I just did this myself about an hour ago and didn’t lose anything. But I did and always make a backup before I do anything just in case.

1. Download Beans MJ7 Full Stock Tar: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291674903

2. Make sure you boot into your “stock rom” before you Odin the stock tar. Latest Odin v.3.09: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291676783

3. Odin the stock tar and when you’re done you’ll be un-rooted but on the MJ7.

4. Download and install the Kingo Root App to your PC and follow the instructions. LINK REMOVED BY VECTUS

5. After you re-root your phone and it reboots go back into safestrap or re-download it if it’s missing and reinstall the recovery. http://forum.xdadevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=2517610

Everything was still there for me when safestrap recovery booted up. I didn’t lose any data.

Good luck

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerocool69:
Whoops you're right my mistake sorry about that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hell-Razor:
Is that app the only way to root the note 3 currently?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmorton10:
Thanks for the responses guys, it went like clockwork.

I Odin flashed the full mj7 tar that I downloaded from crack flashers (after beans like timed out on me about 25 times). Then immediately did the Kingo thing which worked super.

At that point, I installed the newest safestrap & recreated the same #1 ROM slot I had before the flash. I then restored a nandroid I had made of the Bean ROM install from that slot from before the Odin flash to that new ROM slot and it works perfectly.

I see no difference whatever except for the new firmware showing in the device properties.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] udinbrian:
I have Galaxy W with custom ROM Touchwi5 with Hutsky kernel v5 BFS. My problem is, my phone ringtone only ring once when incoming calls occur. I already tried reflash (of course with wipe data, cache, dalvik, format system), changing kernel (almost all kernel in this forum) but no luck. So please guys, give me enlightment.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] embabi:
I have the same problem with both CM 10.1 by arco68 and CM 10.2 by arsradu.

As a work around, I repeated my favorable ringtone using a sound editor app.

Please, ask the question or report a bug in the corresponding thread, so developers can see that bugs and fix them.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
If your custom ringtones are already 30 seconds long or longer than that, of course they will only be played once. Also, the ringtones have to be in .ogg format. I bet your default ringtones don't have this issue, do they?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] embabi:
Default ringtone "Orion" is the only one that is repeated, while some stock ringtones and others are not. Even in .ogg format.

I noticed that when I select a ringtone, there is a preview. if the ringtone is repeated in the preview, it will be repeated when the phone receives call. But the others that not repeated in the preview, were not repeated when the phone receives a call.

This happened with me using both CM 10.1 and CM 10.2

Thanks for your efforts.

I flashed Lupus kernel today using Flahtool.

Now, when my phone starts, the Lupus symbol flashes, then the phone reboots.

What can I do?

Just flashed OmniRom beta 2 build together with gapps linked in the OmniRom thread and I get fc on first boot on both NFC service and one more android service something something - can't get passed the pop ups and a reboot into recovery is all I can do.

Wiped system using TWRP 2.6.3.2 and cleared cache after install - did another wipe after reboot just to be sure. I have seen this on other roms that I try to flash?

am I doing something wrong during the flash process?

Wipe (default twrp)

install rom and gapps

clear cache/dalvik

reboot

Tried different gapps with no success..

I tried to flash the first OmniRom (build 1) with the same problems and I also got CM start tutorial when I had flashed OmniRom?? So it feels like the wipe is not working as it should?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerdog:
Where did you get the build? If you got a CM start tutorial then you definitely didn't wipe, and i wonder what exactly you're flashing? This would be anything official Omni

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerdog:
As this is far from an official build, you will want to direct your issues to the porter/builder of the ROM in that thread you linked.

Think I found the problem - a "default" wipe in twrp won't do it - I had to go in to advanced and choose "cache,dalvik,data and system" now it works like a charm! Good to know for the future..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graycoder:
Greetings All,

I'm hoping someone can help me out with a small problem I'm having.

Background:

My company is shipping android tablets as single app running consoles for our products.

Because of this, we update the tablets via fastboot, install a few apps to manage and lock down the tablets, root the tablets, and push across information for setting everything up for shipment.

Because we will be shipping a ton of tablets, we need to automate as much of the install process as possible.

Problem:

I need a way of updating data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db so that it actually changes the device settings.

I want the person installing everything to be able to turn on usb debugging, hit a couple buttons on the computer that run scripts, and turn off usb debugging before shipping if that can't be automated as well.

Methods Tried:

I've tried editing the values for the respective settings directly in sqlite3 with UPDATE queries, but none of them take effect.

I've also tried setting the settings on the device, pulling the database, and then pushing it to another device with only usb debugging enabled, but this has led to only one or two of the settings changing and that isn't a guaranteed result every time.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Some slight lag at first (as expected to me right after a fresh flash of a rom) but after I use it more and more it's quite smooth. I have 2D instead of 3D with 5 homescreens, and practically nothing installed except Twitter. Pretty much at this rate the only Sense 4.x rom I can see myself using as a daily driver instead of just messing around with. All that's left is to see what my battery life is at in about 9-11 hours when I plug my phone in for bed. :p

Hello.

Its really nice, but somehow my wifi wont work. It dont want to connect to my network. When i reboot, it will connect once, but without access to internet. when i disable it and enable again, its not connecting.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
I have been using this ROM for a day now

Besides the camera program issue, I haven't found any other issues. I run my ROMS a little different.

First on ICS/JB ROMS I run the swap file in /cache instead of the sdcard and also I change the minfree (I run a script to do it) to 1536,3072,4096,21000,23000,25000, which for me seems to give good results.

Also the wifi calling app (VisionWifiCalling_v3.1_Android4.0.x.zip) works for me as well.

I am using the 3.0.63 advanced sense kernel r2, and was wondering what others are using and how well it is working for them.

This is happening when you install rom with fast rotation selected (this is experimental mod).

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
Thanks, this (at least to me) does seem like the best 4.0.3 Sense ROM, using it as a DD (or is it dd).

I do have 1 question: Advantages between the different kernels (as the other Sense ROMS seem to all use the .50 kernel - unless you manually flash a new one)?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coolos:
@up

This is tuff question, everyone should test this kernels and choice favorite one. I prefer Faka 3.0.72 kernel or Advanced sense kernel r2. They have really good performance and runs very smooth (I like SIO scheduler and smartassv2 governor).

Others roms using .50 kernels, maybe because kernels .60+ have system write mounting bug. In this rom I applied workaround for this bug.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arunal_123:
Downloaded your rom 1.1.2, flashed advanced sense kernel r2. Even without rom cleaner rom is super smooth.

1 thing i noticed is that even with the keyboard slider opened, nothing goes to landscape.

Is it known or are you gonna fix thar too. Other than that everything is fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coolos:
@up

look at changelog. Force landscape mode (when keyboard is opened) cause FC on some HTC apps or bad scaling in others - that's why I decided to not force landscape mode when keyboard is open.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arunal_123:
I dont remember what option i had selected (fast rotation or standard rotation)

But is this issue same for both selections???
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coolos:
This is not issue, did you read my previous post? maybe I will add option to aroma (to force or not ladscape mode when keyboard is open) for those who miss that option?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arunal_123:
(Opening keyboard - not force orientation change) was the changelog in v1.1

It doesnt makes sense... I have read the previous post. But wasnt clear if this was caused by rotation option or from something else. May be you should clearify it in the OP.

Sorry it this has created a nuisance, it was because of lack of information plus my ignorance. :o

sorry... and ya a lot of thanks for this amazing rom.

Sorry but no chance for that. This rom is based on One V ruu (music player from desire x), and there are only basic beats audio effects on stock. I am not a Beats Audio fan and I preffer viper4androidfx. If you like beats audio effects You should copy HtcMusic.apk, HtcMusicEnhancer.apk, HtcBeatsNotify.apk and HtcSoundEnhancerSetting.apk to system/app from other rom. Maybe you will need to active beats in build.prop to.

Running 1.2, but when searching for cities to add to weather, it finds none. Will try 1.2.2.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arunal_123:
Thanks i have now beats audio running... but still no srs... But anyway about your rom, its great, fast and smooth.

And ya, i have flashed your kernel too. It gives 392MB ram, just as in your MIUI rom. Thanks mate.. you are awesome.

I still dont understand, the rom is fast because it is odexed or because of the scripts..???

---------- Post added at 07:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 AM ----------

In version 1.2.2 weather detects your locations. And even it allows you to add new cities and updates the weather. But HTC clock as you have mentioned still doesn't allow you to log into Social Network site... I guess the link is broken.

Anyway i don't use Facebook or others, so not a problem for me. Just wanted to let you know that it still doesn't work.

Thanks...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coolos:
The key is free ram. Low background process limit can help a lot for low ram devices. Odex is more stable and faster on boot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
Running 1.2.2 - looks great!

Running 1.2.2 and now can add cities, contact searching works - thanks

Some other observations:

- Calculator: Numbers are rather large

- Sim Toolkit: Doesn't work (I have never seen it work) can it be removed maybe next time?

So I now have it as my DD, so we will see.

again thanks.
