Here I will tell you how to get all or most of the apps from google play and I will also tell you how to swap your internal and external memory.

I am not responsible if anything unwanted is to happen to your device.

It is not needed but as a precaution make a backup.

How to get all apps

Before you start:

Must be rooted

Have a file explorer with root privileges (I recommend root explorer)

1. Download the edited build.prop (link provided below)

2. Open your file explorer and navigate to /system

3. Rename the build.prop already located there, to build.prop.bak

4. Paste the build.prop you downloaded

5. Change its permissions to rw-r--r--

6. Reboot and enjoy

If you want to put your device back to its original settings delete build.prop and rename build.prop.bak to build.prop and reboot

How to swap internal and external storage

Before you start:

Must be rooted

Have a file explorer with root privileges (I recommend root explorer)

Have Script Manager installed (link here)

1. Download the edited swap.sh and restore.sh (links provided below)

2. Open your file explorer and navigate to /data

3. Paste swap.sh and restore.sh here

4. Change their permissions to rwxrwxrwx

5. Open Script Manager

6. Navigate to /data

7. Click on swap.sh and tick su, boot and is executable. Do the same for restore.sh

8. Run swap.sh wait a 10 seconds then kill it

9. Your storage should have now been swapped, go to settings > storage to check

This will only last until you next reboot. If you want to swap them back but do not want to reboot, repeat steps 8 and 9 but with restore.sh

If you would like to use my edited build.prop you are welcome to. I cannot remember where i got the swap.sh but credit goes to them.

Hello, Can You please specify weather this method works for Xperia M C1904/1905, OR Xperia M Dual C2004/2005?

And Everyone on this forums an Important Request Please Mention specifically Which Device you are Posting anything for....

If we changed the stock build.prop with this,the model of the phone will be changed from Xperia M to XperiaZ1
[Sony Xperia M] longatom:
This will work for C1905, but I do not know if it will work on any others, and the build.prop will make your phone think it is a Z1

Quick question. Why do we need to do this? In your post you mention,

Is there something we can do to the Xperia M that can cause it to not be able to download apps from Google Play?
[Sony Xperia M] longatom:

[Sony Xperia M] strider.am:
I recently bought a Xperia M SS. And I am reading through the forums to understand what all is available for this device. Your post provides instructions on "how to get all or most of the apps from google play".

That line gives me the impression that without following the instructions you have given, I will be unable to "get all or most apps from google play".

So I ask, what do you mean by that statement. I have only rooted (full root) my phone. I am currently able to download and use all apps that I need. I need to know whether or not I need to follow your instructions. Who are these instructions aimed at? Is there a subset of people who are unable to "get all or most apps from google play"?
[Sony Xperia M] longatom:
What I mean by this is that it will allow you to get incompatible apps, such as asphalt 8 which is actually fully compatible.

I tried to change the left softkey to PIE using tweaks2k2. I set it to the file iexplorer.exe because I changed the top buttons to start menu and ok and I have pocket breeze on my today screen already. When I tried to use the left key after a reset, it gave me an error saying it couldn't open the program. Did i need to set it to a different file? Since it didn't work, I just hit the undo button which was supposed to change it back to calendar, but it changed it to phone instead. I got calendar back on it now, but can anyone tell me how to properly open PIE with that button?

[Glass Q&A] bigjew92:
alright man. just got back from getting glass. parking is a little hard to find. but if you turn on ROSE from main street, then you should see a lot. it's $1/hr with a 2 hr max...but you probably won't need 2 hours... then it is just right across the street by the big binoculars...go to the door on the right hand side, facing the building and binoculars, and they should let you in.

it was an awesome experience and i'm happy i went to go and pick them up. they offer you drinks and walk you threw everything.

HAVE FUN

Thanks, I ended up picking mine up at 1pm that day. Parked behind google. Was lots of parking in the morning. Great experience picking up :)

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byproxy:
Just got my G2 today. Coming from S3.

On S3 I had option for profiles which would allow me to set the default security to (for example) a PIN. Then I could create an "Insecure" profile and set the security to just the slide.

I like to do this so that I have the option for a PIN or just a slide depending on where I am.

Is this possible on the G2? I don't see the profiles option anywhere.

Thanks!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PriStol:
Hi, like a month ago I Installed 10.2 CM but now I want to go back to stock 4.4 but everytime I try to do smoething, I encounter another problem.

I found a 4.4 stock ROM so I thought I will just install it, Wipe date and cache, and then just flash the rom, But It didnt work for some reason. I thought the problem was my outdated TWRP so I tried to install the latest TWRP but then I understood that I formated my computer so the fastboot drivers are not installed, so I tried to install them, but no matter what I do, It just doesn't work. I dont really know what to do so If someone can tell me stage by stage what should I do to revert back to stock, I'd be happy to hear because I Dont really know :rolleyes:

go back to GB or ICS

Run a Slim JB Rom

Unlock your bootloader

and install a kernel

(not recomended unless you know what your doing)

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evrkusd:
I'm working on customizing my rooted tab 2 and then exporting to an Odin flashable ROM (following instructions from (http://forums.androidcentral.com/dr...create-custom-odin-images-backup-restore.html)

The reason for this, rather than using CWM to more easily make a backup, is that I need to flash my customizations onto a BUNCH of tablets, and don't want to go through the process of unlocking the bootloader and installing CWM for each of them.

What I'm wondering is this:

Which partitions should I be copying to build an Odin flashable rom. The instructions I linked say that I need zImage, factoryfs.rfs and recovery.bin - which I'm hoping is the case.

I'm not sure which partitions correspond to the necessary files for creating the flashable ROM. Any ideas?

Here are my partitions by name:

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skazzy3:
I'm not sure what you're following.

But in my limited experience all you will ever need is a system.img, boot.img and a cache.img to tell the recovery to wipe the data. And a recovery.img is optional. The zImage is the kernel and it is in the boot.img.

Also wrong section.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android-Andi:
... and crossposting :p http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48143832&postcount=177
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evrkusd:
Cool, thanks for the help. Which section would be better to post this in?

so I pull

boot (/dev/block/mmcblk0p7) to zImage

and

system (/dev/block/mmcblk0p14) to factoryfs.rfs

The instructions I linked to say that cache is optional if I don't want to pull personal data, so I might omit that.

If I don't pull the recovery.img, how does that impact the next tablet I install this on? Does it mean a factory wipe would reset it to its previous image, or is that unrelated.

Thanks again for the help - sorry for the cross-post, I'm pretty new to this entire thing.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evrkusd:
Should I delete that one? I figured it was relevant to that thread / people who were interested in rooting that tab, but I guess not posting twice supersedes that. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skazzy3:
The thread has already moved from development to Q and A.

And no, i'm still not understanding. you should pull /system and make it into a system.img

And for the boot.img, I am not really sure how you can pull that from that tab. But I think you can just get a stock kernel boot.img from any ol' stock rom.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evrkusd:
Hm ok. I guess other threads are pointing me to think that I need more than just a system.img.

See here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=960946

or the original link I posted.

If all I need is system (/dev/block/mmcblk0p14) dumped to system.img, that would be easier, but I'm not sure that's all I need. If so, I guess I could pull system.img and tar it and try it out..

Thanks for the advice
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skazzy3:
That guide is not for tab 2.

You only need a modem.bin if you have the P3100 the gsm tab and not the wifi only.

The zImage is the same as boot.img

The cache is only needed as, again, you need to make it so the data will be wiped to avoid bootloops if coming from custom roms.

And the system is the rom so you will obviously need that.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evrkusd:
Ok, thanks. The tab 2 I'm using is the Verizon SCH-I705, btw, so should I include modem.img? It seems like I could just leave the existing modem partition on the device, since I don't want to make any changes there.

Here's my current setup

/boot send to boot.img

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/sdcard/boot.img bs=4096

/system send to system.img

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/sdcard/system.img bs=4096

/recovery send to recovery.img

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/recovery.img bs=4096

/cache send to cache.img

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/cache.img bs=4096

Then I'll roll all 4 of them into a tar package with:

tar -H ustar -c system.img cache.img boot.img recovery.img > package.tar

md5sum -t package.tar >> package.tar

mv package.tar package.tar.md5

and flash via Odin

Does it sound like that will work?

Thanks again for the help
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skazzy3:
Oh the verizon tab.

Yes you should have the modem.

Don't take the cache from the /cache partition you should make a cache.img from scratch.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evrkusd:
Ok, thanks. Am I right in thinking that if the tab already has a working modem (since verizon is working on it), do I need to flash modem.img if I haven't made any changes on the new version?

Also, not sure how to make a cache.img from scratch. I've searched for similar terms on xda and haven't come up with anything.

Thanks again.

When your Battery is toooooooo low then phone can't boot, so orange light blinks means Battery is collecting some power to boot at least. It will take 2-3 minutes, then orange light will get stable. Means now you can boot your device.
