If you turn off tracking within the Moves app, won't that defeat the purpose of the Moves app? Ouch... Just checked mine and it's at 36%. I think i'm going to remove it for a while.

Hey all ,

I recently updated to 4.3 with hboot 1.55 and ive been trying to get s-off with rum runner tool. However when I use the exploit it reaches a point where it says that there is a rom or root issue. I am running the stock rom and I rooted the phone properly as I have superuser. Anyone knows what might be wrong ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
Disable screen timeout and if it prompts on screen, hit agree.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Izzymane:
this is the message rum runner gave me :

unfortunately this isn't going to work out with your configuration. you have 2

options:

1.) flash an unsecure kernel that's compatible with your ROM and retry rumrunner

(preferred and most reliable method).

2.) flash a different rom.

NOTE: No amount of messing around with su binaries and apk's is going to fix thi

s issue for you!!!.

Better luck next time!!!!bye

Hello,

Any luck with S-off htc one?

I`m having the same error when trying to s-off my htc one 32 gb bootloader unlocked/rooted (Nightly ROM > CM11 - 4.4.2)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black-FR:
Whats your main version?

fastboot getvar version-main

You should flash a rooted ROM (best would be stock ROM), which match your main version.

And then you could try again to S-OFF your device.

Also you should disable your anti-virus software and firewall, during you try to S-OFF.

And use a USB 2.0 port.

I'm transferring a 128Mb WMV to a 256Mb SD Card and the problem I'm getting is that the progress bar keeps resetting during the transfer and starting again.

I've used this SD card already with a movie of similar size and left it to transfer, came back an hour later and all was done. However this is the first time I've been present during the transfer and I'm noticing this problem.

1) Is this normal? (I wouldn't have thought so...)

2) If the SD Card needs re-formatting can this be done on the PPC, and how?

3) Would a hard-reset be worth considering?

4) Should I try re-encoding the movie file incase the WMV file is corrupt?

I can transfer smaller files successfully to the SD Card but seem to have difficulty with this one particular file. I may try to re-convert my media file anyway and see if this fixes things.

Any help appreciated (especially with the formatting of the SD Card anyway as I haven't got a manual and can't find a way to do this).

Thx in advance ;)
[Java for Android App Development] shakash3obd:
Hello everyone, I developed an app which utilizes database.

I implemented a method for backing up the database from /data/data/package_name/databases to the SDCARD wiith the following code

try {
File path_to_sd = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File path_to_data = Environment.getDataDirectory();

String current_db_path = "//data//" + getPackageName() + "//databases//";
String path_to_database = path_to_data.getAbsolutePath() + current_db_path;
String backup_name = "backup.db";

File current_db = new File(path_to_database, database_name);
File db_backup = new File(path_to_sd, backup_name);

FileChannel src = new FileInputStream(current_db).getChannel();
FileChannel dst = new FileOutputStream(db_backup).getChannel();

if(!db_backup.exists()){
try {
db_backup.createNewFile();
dst.transferFrom(src, 0, src.size());
src.close();
dst.close();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Exporting database done successfully!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

the thing is that the above code did the job but created a file with the following permissions ---rwxr-x

so my method for importing the database file from the SDCARD back to the /data/data/pachage_name/databases fail at the line

FileChannel src = new FileInputStream(current_db).getChannel();

and the error is that, no read permission for this file.

How can I fix this issue?

thanks a lot.

i have attached a a zip file that contains 4 java files and can be included in your project...

it gives you root access... but writing to /data/data must be implemented by u...

My Xperia Sp is 4 months old and it kinda lags !!!! i deleted 90% of my games and i need a cleaner app that cleans all the empty folders that apps leave behind and cleans cache and stuff.

(i currently use clean master and it gets the job done but i would like an alternative if possible (to try something new))

Also why does an android phone lag? (i have 300 mb of ram free and it kinda lags Ram is a major factor as far as i know so this may be it )

Thank you Please suggest solutions.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raziel123:
I assume your Rooted and have installed a Custom stock based Rom.

if you have, then tweak the Minfree values

also suggest you tweak the CPU Governor,

I have it at the following settings with Trickster Mod (I've got the Paid Pro version)

Minfree values

Foreground App 22

Visible App 34

Secondary Server 40

Hidden App 74

On-Demand Governor

down_differential 15

io_is_busy 1

sampling_down_factor 2

sampling_rate 50000

up_threshold 80

all other settings 0,

make sure you hit the tick and set on boot

.

I havent had any lag since.

Of course you could use the setting as for the swappiness i did not get that one :D :D :D but i think ill stick with my stock rom at this point :D :D :D i wont flash any rom till i have to so ill just pay for the app and continue my life :D
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raziel123:
Yeah Ram manager will do the trick as well, I dunno about swappiness and others settings, I dunno exactly what they do ...

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackaros:
I paid for the app and i tweaked the minfree settings but when i try to acces the Governor control it says This Control is not available.

Edit : Nevermind i found out that i did not apply the settings before trying to tweak the Governor.

Edit2: If i increase the sampling rate to about 90000 the speed will increase or just burn my phone ?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raziel123:
You don't really need to in increase it that much, higher sampling rate causes the cpu to stay at higher frequencies longer before dropping down to lower ones.

And no it won't burn out out your cpu, probably just make it warmer
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackaros:
Ok so ill leave it about 60000 because i need it to run fast but i dont need it to drain my battery and get warm.

Has your LG G2 Smearing or the Ghost Effect in System settings or Internet Browser?
[G2 General] Bigralphn:
No
[G2 General] Rayan:
All IPS screens have some degree of ghosting, it's the nature of IPS technology, but that's totally perceived differently amongst users. Some see it, some don't (I don't see it not even in games), but I know it's there.

However IPS displays do not have the dreaded AMOLED burn in problems, where static images (blues and whites are the most problematic) eventually burn in like those old ATM CRT screens (some people have burn in screens after just a couple of months), so I rather have IPS screen over AMOLEDs!
[G2 General] eggman89:
That does not happen on real life usage. Maybe after using for 2-3 years, the burn in would be visible.

Only time the burn in is visible after months, is on the showroom models which is turned on all the time.

I have my 2 years old S2 and still there's no burn in .
[G2 General] Steamer86:
I only get "ghost" if I force the screen to move a million mph. Never on a game or elsewhere.
[G2 General] jayochs:
tell that to my galaxy nexus with a burned in status bar and navigation bar. better yet, tell that to my galaxy s4 where I did the black status bar mod and within a month those pixels degraded from not being used.

amoled sucks.
[G2 General] garywojdan81:
I beg to differ. Happened to me with 2 fascinates. The status bar burned in after about 3 mos. Strangely enough though, I never got it on Motorola amoled screens. We have 3 og razrs in the family, all around 2yrs old, and have no burn-in at all.
[G2 General] Rayan:
I hope you are talking about ATM Screens burning-in after a few years right? Because AMOLEDS tend to burn in just after a few months under certain conditions and usage.

And to make matters worse, it also burns in WITHOUT EVEN USING IT! UV light also degrades the screen, and if you consider UV to be present even on office lighting then you better place your phone screen side down while on your desk!

If you don't believe me, do some research right here in XDA, there are many examples (with photos) demonstrating such facts!

EDIT: Heck, here's some photos demonstrating a brand new Galaxy Note which had the screen protector (with Ads) on a store shelf. When removed, it revealed screen burn-in! (see the round shape imprinted on the screen).

Cheers!
[G2 General] ceo.mtcl:
What is the ghost effect... Time to Google and YouTube I guess...
[G2 General] Rayan:
Short answer is: When you scroll a list on your screen, you will notice the letters are somewhat smudged or blurred, and also screen elements leave a trail behind.

Also on high action games some people see the same effect.

For me it's not that noticeable even at 20/20 eyesight. Or at least I don't perceive it as an annoyance.\

Cheers!
[G2 General] ceo.mtcl:
Oh yes. I know about this effect. I have experienced this in past, and strangely on amoled devices. I've never experienced this on G2. Damn you guys and my ocd, now everytime I'll be scrolling I'll be looking for this 'ghost effect'.
[G2 General] zathus:
My gnexus had burn in twice. First time was about 6 months after getting it. Got a replacement. Second time was about 9 months later. The first burn in was a web page that I had only looked at for a few seconds. It happened almost instantly. I don't know why, but it did. I was always very careful to not leave the screen on and it still happened. Second burn in was the home screen clock widget. This one made a little more sense. Either way, I love not having to worry about it anymore with the g2. I will personally never get a amoled phone ever again.
[G2 General] woof123:
I can see the ghost effect,its easy to see when scrooling in apps folder where all the aps are.Doesnt bother me abit tho.The amoleds also have the same problem there arent free from this effect.The only thing i miss is the colors,(but G2 is close enough) i wont talk about blacks,cause they werent that black when you were looking in a dark room.. And until they fix the degration that causes the burn in and all,i wont go back to amoled (so no galaxy ever again for me...).And man the amoled tvs will soon have huge problems lol

Which combination of governor and scheduler is the best for our phones? Smooth system and quite low power consumption.

Governors:

Hotplug, interactive, conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance

Schedulers:

Hi guys, i know this has come up on here before and i've searched through all the threads but found only a lot of information which is of no use at all.

Ok heres the info on my phone:

HSPL 2.08

Task 29ned

2.15.50.14 Radio

CustomRUU

Magdlr

CWM and also tried TWRP

I've used windows format from recovery (usb mass storage) and also minitool partition starting with fat32 and 32kb sectors then ext3 partition but on mounting it only returns the following:

E: failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid Argument)

Error mounting /sdcard

so far tried fat32, ntfs, ext2, ext3 out of sheer desperation

Any help would be muchly appreciated but i'm assuming it might be the sdcard at fault i really don't know.

Thanks in advance.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Robbie P:
Hi Dan

In minitool, did you set the primary/logical box to primary?

Why ext3?

Also what rom did you install, and what install method?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dandanfireman:
Thanks for your reply, yes both were set to primary, ext3 as that what lots of threads on here advised. Formatted to fat32 first. I can see it on my pc but can't mount it on the phone? Any ideas?

No rom on the phone yet as i can't get the zip files to be recognised as the sdcard can't mount so you can see my problem now.

Am now getting a new error message saying:

E: Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)

Thanks

Dan
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Robbie P:
Hi Dan, best to start afresh with your card. Use this https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/ to format it to fat32, and see if it shows up then.

I don't know of any latest roms using ext3, most use an ext4 partition on the sd card:confused:

Anyway, report back
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dandanfireman:
Ok i'm slowly getting somewhere, twrp didn't work, minitool didn't work, cwm didn't work so then i tried the new version of twrp and formatted it on the sdcard which can now mount sdcard on twrp.

The issue i'm having now is that adb doesn't list it under devices. I'm having to use adb sideload as because its been formatted on the phone it can't be seen on the pc? Not sure if thats as i don't have the hd2 drivers on the pc but its got hd2 toolkit installed. Either way i now don't have any way of installing from the rom zips I have.

Thanks

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Robbie P:
Hi Dan, I don't think Android Debug Bridge will work if you do not yet have android on your phone (unless it works from twrp). It seems you have magldr installed, can you use usb mass storage to transfer your rom to phone?

Also I do highly recommend using the sd formatter i linked to earlier, but i assume you do not have a card reader, hence doing all from phone.

Best of luck

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dandanfireman:
Fix for unable to mount sdcard error

Just incase anyone has the same problem i had with the never ending unable to mount sdcard problem.

What this turned out to be was cwm would format the card but only a certain area, then if you format with windows it will again only format a certain area that it see with its own file system. Then minitools would have a strange arrangement of differing file systems and changing this by usb connection through magdlr kept creating these problems.

I was trying to use adb to connect the phone to the pc through usb drivers but in the end it simply wasn't worth the effort.

First I went over cwm with the latest version of twrp.

Then I went out to buy a new sdcard simply to get a sdcard to microsd card tool.

Reformat the sdcard (with minitool partition) once in the pc (using the microsd to sdcard tool) to fat32 or fat32 with an ext4 partition if yr doing nand and dataext. Both partitions need to be primary and make sure there are no other partitions on the card this may take a few goes as sometimes you get a random partition or I did anyway.

Then put your rom files on the sdcard using the pc.

Remove sdcard from pc and install in phone.

Boot phone into magldr and choose recovery and this will take you into twrp and simply choose install and find the rom file you want to install.

Don't worry if you have any problems in the rom install you can always go back into twrp and wipe the system which is the rom.

Hope that helps anyone who was experiencing the same issues.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kremmitus Maximus:
Alternate workaround

I had the same problem others have above. I wound up using a different workaround, and was able to do it with just the phone, a USB cable, and a Windows 7 PC. No SD adapter was needed and there was no need to remove the microSD card from the phone.

I took a stock WinMo 6.5 TMOUS HD2, installed Black LK and TWRP and cleared everything (cache, etc.). Then I used Black LK (very similar to cLK) to re-partition the internal storage to accept my new Android ROM. All I needed at this point was to install the ROM. I tried to copy my Android ROM to a microSD card I had in another phone and then bring it over, but TWRP was unable to read the card. It also couldn't mount the card via USB.

I was able to use TWRP to format the microSD. Then TWRP was able to USB Mount the microSD, but when my PC dectected it, I received a popup indicating that I needed to format the SD before Windows could use it. I said "yes", and allowed Windows to format the card as one big FAT32 partition. It took a few minutes, during which I was a little nervous as there was no progress meter or anything else on either the phone or the PC to indicate it was working. But once it finished, Windows was finally able to access the microSD card and copy the .zip file for the ROM. Once that was complete, I told Windows to eject the microSD, then un-mounted it in TWRP. And, finally, TWRP was able to see the ROM file and install it to NAND from the microSD.

Anyway, thought I'd post it up in case anybody else runs into this and doesn't have a card reader or adapter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Juice3250:
Well, I sold my Galaxy S3 and will probably be going to an iPhone 5. I'm done rooting and flashing because it has been taking away too much of my time with my family. It will be interesting to learn an entirely new os but I had to ask myself what was truly important and why I was constantly flashing roms. In the end, it came down to what I really need a smartphone for. I knew that if I stayed with any Android phone, I would constantly be tempted to root and flash again.
