[General Questions and Answers] Afthaf_Roshan:
Hii Guyzz... Here i'm gonna show u how to move apps to sdcard...

1.To run commands which will enable Move to SD card button for most installed apps, you need to have adb executable on your computer. Download Android SDK from Official Android SDK developers site.

2.	After downloading the archive of the SDK, unzip it to any folder and remember its location (let’s call this folder <sdk>).

3.	If you are installing Android SDK on Windows machine, you also need to install USB driver.

4.	Connect the phone using USB cable and do not enable USB storage mode. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and enable USB debugging.

5.	Start terminal window on your computer (on Windows: click Start, type “cmd” and press Enter).

6.	In the terminal window, navigate to folder containing file named “adb” (<sdk>\platform-tools folder) using this command: cd “full-path-to-sdk-platform-tools” (replace “full-path-to-sdk-platform-tools” with an actual path as shown in the screenshot below).

7.	Type the following lines in the terminal window and press Enter after each line:

•	adb devices

•	This checks that the phone is connected and is in the correct mode. You should see one entry in the list of the attached devices. If you get “device not found” error, see Troubleshooting section below.

•	adb shell

•	If you get “cannot find file” error and are using Mac or Linux, instead type: ./adb shell

•	pm set-install-location 2

•	(If this command doesn’t work try using the “old” command: pm setInstallLocation 2. Thanks to polosco for the tip.)

•	exit

8.	Now on your phone go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications.

•	If you have Android 2.3 or later, click on USB Storage tab (may be called SD card). This tab shows a list of apps that either can be installed to SD card or are already on SD card. The ones that have checkbox on the right side are already moved to SD card (credit to Michael Scully for the tip).

•	On Android 2.2 and earlier if you don’s see USB Storage or SD Card tab, click on All tab.

•

Android USB storage tab

9.	Press hardware Menu button and select Sort by Size.

10.	Tap on each app that is taking significant amount of space and tap Move to SD card button. Press hardware Back button and repeat.

11.	(optional) To change the default installation location for new apps back to the internal phone memory, go back to your terminal window and type:

•	pm setInstallLocation 0

12.	(important) Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and disable USB debugging. Leaving USB debugging enabled makes your phone vulnerable (e.g. lock pattern can be reset).

13.	Enjoy!

There v gooo..... No rooting...no vulnerability....everything is safe and easy.....
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clingermannm:
Hi all!

I recently rooted my KFHD 8.9 successfully. I was attempting to install CM10 when it bricked. No lights. No power. I'm not exactly sure what went wrong but the only help I've seen requires a usb short trick but I've not found any pics of how to do this on an 8.9. Looking to fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
USB short trick doesn't work on a second generation kindle fire. To be more accurate it does work, but we would have to push a signed file at one point that only amazon has and isn't going to share.

RichNote is a wonderful app.

I must be missing something right under my nose - how can I delete RichNote files that I've created?

-bk
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steamer86:
Notebook.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
That was the first place I looked - didn't see anything from RichNote in there. I do see QuickMemo files of mine.

In the RichNote app, I can see my saved files, but I can't find any way to delete them.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steamer86:
Ohhhh. Got them confused. Long click on the written note in app and select delete. Alternatively, open the note and select trash can.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
Thanks - you got me on the right track.

For anyone else that might come across this thread, when using Richnote, the excellent LG-supplied app that you can open-up on top of other apps, there is no way to access the ability to delete or share your Richnote files

unless you maximize the app

. When the app opens in its default window size, the app does not offer any of these functions. I just had to explore a bit to figure this out!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steamer86:
I just noticed my backspace button on calculator doesn't work in window mode after adjusting transparency. Nothing works on it partially transparent, and backspace won't work at all after unless I maximize and minimize. Can you test yours?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
Yup. my calculator works exactly like yours.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Ditto on my Verizon model.

I like Quick Memo the best. The ability to draw on the screen and save snapshots is great.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steamer86:
I prefer Richnote widget so I can draw, text, attach, ect for more purposeful things. Use notebook when I get involved. Quickmemo for fast on screen draws right from home button. I use and like all three.

So to make a long story short, for the past few weeks I have not been able to send sms. It happened all of a sudden and with no changes to cause it. I can send mms, receive and make calls, but no sms. Took it to Verizon yesterday with the thought in mind that I had a faulty simple card, they tried another one and nothing. Factory reset, nothing. Spent two hours watching them try tthe same things I did. Then they gave up and said to refer to samsung. My question is, is this a software issue? And will rooting and throwing a rom on do the trick? Also is there a root method for after the 4.3 update at the moment?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zetachi:
Check to see if you are on Global or CDMA/LTE/EVDO

settings/more networks/mobile networks/network mode

I was having issues receiving MMS messages and set this from global back CDMA/LTE/EVDo and that fixed it.

Worth a try

Did you try a factory reset???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] abendx:
Hey bud... had the same issue. Over and over for quite some time (since before owning the S4).

Only real fix was to reset the phone (stock, rooted, or custom rom)... only to have it crop up later, again and again.

Last call to VZW and the girl had me swap my SIM and get a new phone, this was while I was on vacation and when I got home, the phone hard bricked on the MJ7 update. So I am not sure what is what and not even sure if it will crop up again. I haven't seen the issue for a few weeks though.

I do have a little, non scientific, theory on this.

Everytime I have had this occur that I can recall, I was traveling from my home. Maybe 100 miles or more. VZW messaging (web) never got any of the messages and the VZW rep can see the messages come into their system and the system believes it is delivering the messages. This also occured with the GNex.

I am assuming that one of two things are going on here.... something is messed up with my provisioning (and your's maybe) or there is an issue with handoffs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alexithymia2010:
A friend of mine went through the same thing until I did this:

Turn off the radios one by one including: bluetooth, mobile network, and then do airplane mode. Make sure you're on the CDMA/EvDO/LTE settings instead of global. Reboot the phone. Turn off airplane mode, and then turn on your mobile network and give it about a minute. Then try sending SMS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ezizzle95:
I have. Still nothing unfortunately.

Yes sir 3 times to be certain.

Tried it. Nothing, I agree there has to be something wrong with the handoffs.

Just tried it, still no dice. Thank you for your input though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alexithymia2010:
Damn ... I was hoping that was the ticket. Your phone might need to be provisioned. *228 to make sure it has updated PRLs. Failing that, you may need to call up VZW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ezizzle95:
It says a sim card has been activated?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trook:
Not supposed to *228 our phones. Something about possibly frying the sim? Read and read and read.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ebsk8er06:
It does not fry the sim anymore it just puts you in a 3g prl, after a week or to or after you cut your phone off it will auto update back to 4g prl

mb use odin and re-flash the stock rom? I never seen/faced issue like this but would like to help to find the solution, just in case I might deal with such thing later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tech_head:
Don't know if it will fry the SIM, but *228 will tell you the your phone is already provisioned and it will fail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ezizzle95:
I see. Yeah It just said my SIM was activated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ezizzle95:
Just wanted to give this a bump to see if someone has any ideas
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ezizzle95:
another bump. samsung doesn't want to send me a replacement and suggest i find a loner phone to put my sim in while they have it for over a week. i can't do that. Rooted the phone and put a rom on it to see if that would do the trick and nothing. Any suggestions before i argue with samsung?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
I had SMS/MMS problems recently but now everything is working again. What version you on... MDK? And what ROM are you on?

edit: Here's a thread with some insight of what's going on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2654822
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DreamFX:
It is a known Verizon network issue. There is people way above the front line staff working on it. They don't tell the front line staff this because since it's just limited to aosp and they only support stock, unrooted phones they tell people there is no issue. They could send you ten replacements phones and they all will do the same thing. It's not the phone, it's not the AOSP rom, and it's not your sim card. It's a bizzare issue that makes all aosp roms ever made not work in certain areas, mostly central pa but others as well. There is another xda user working directly with the engineers providing me updates. I will let you know when we find out a resolution.

Here is my thread which is for the Note 2 with the same issue. There is also links that others have posted in my thread with the exact same symptoms since 2/20/14.

Problems : the 6MB appslog partition is playing spoilsport ...I can seem to boot kernels if I change the offset of appslog :/

Fixed

Sources :

Nothing much to boast about ...

Grab the Sony Stock Sources

Open the defconfig of your device

Search for

CONFIG_CMDLINE="console=ttyMSM2,115200n8 androidboot.hardware=semc"

And change to

CONFIG_CMDLINE="console=ttyMSM2,115200n8 androidboot.hardware=semc mtdparts=msm_nand:409600k@96768k(system),525824k@520704k(userdata),8192k@512512k(cache)"
CONFIG_MTD_CMDLINE_PARTS=y

Enable ext4 ,JBD,JBD2 abd btrfs ...

Compile the kernel and you get the current zImage

This means more /data and less /cache ... :/ ...It's MTD partitioning resizing ....which is resizing the NAND ROM and has no relation to RAM :/ ...

Could we do without appslog in reformating all the nand ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Just Google unpack/repack boot.img ...

You can use Android Kitchen or Champion swimmer's script ...

https://github.com/championswimmer/kernel-tools

Grab any kernel ,Unpack boot.img ,Replace the zImage with the zImage attached ,pack boot.img ...

I would personally like to nuke appslog but that partition is "allegedly" read only ...

Kernels with modified appslog doesn't boot.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Akshay Anand:
See my signature for the guide..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zegoo:
Thanks for all guys. I will try all of that.

About appslog, i don't understand why some models of Sony Ericsson allows us to modify nand partition and why not SK17i for example. I thought bootloader was "bypassed" with a particular kernel and i thought it was just the kernel which determines nand's partition, so what ? It should possible to rewrite/reformat/repartitionnate completely the NAND?

Where are located the specifications about allocation in the NAND ? In the kernel or not ?

Hum, excuse for my bad english ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Bootloader can't be bypasses ...Since bootloader instructs the device to boot using kernel ...You cant actually repartition a nand with a kernel ...you can just reallocate the space ...Mostly even unlocked bootloaders are partially locked ...You can just access/modify boot/system/userdata/cache but cant access modify anything else...On positive note ,it's good since it makes SEMC devices very hard to brick ...

http://www.mediafire.com/download/oofuw76cb0hv1li/Alpha_SK17i.7z

Remember :

1.)Wipe data/cache AFTER flashing kernel ....

2.)Wipe data/cache AFTER flashing another kernel ....

DO NOT USE NANDROID RESTORE....It might theoretically brick device ...I am not going to verify it practically ...If you want to do it ,please do and post the results ...

Sometimes device bootloops for lulz ...laugh with device...but then it's an Alpha build ....

IF after flashing another kernel ,device doesn't boot then

A)Re-Flash ROM

B)if still kernel bootloops ,then Flash Stock FTF ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zegoo:
I tried your kernel and it doesn't work. Bootloop !

I think problem is about the kernel himself with my own rom. I'm using a stable 2.3.4 ROM with the KrSh 2 ghz kernel version (6060K).

When i flashed your own kernel, i made wipes of data and cache and after i installed my zip ROM and got bootloops.

Maybe my own kernel modified (partitions) could work but i don't understand how to pack my kernel, modifying the config.properties (Where is it ?) and how to repack it ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
It's an ICS kernel ...

Based on STock .587 ...

Needs ICS bootloader and ROM ...

Config properties are needed if you want to compile the kernel ...

I think GB and ICS are partitioned slightly different and I would advise you to make a partition setup just in case
