[General Questions and Answers] droidusr2014:
Just had a question,

If I made a backup of my current apps (User data) using TWRP recovery on my kindle fire HD 7 (2012), and then I flash cm11 onto the kindle, AFTER I finish flashing cm11 is it possible to then flash my User data onto cm11 or would that mess it up?

Thanks in advance and Cheers :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devin-J:
hey guys,

i have a stock s4.

i rooted it.

then uninstalled samsung keyboard.

installed custom keyboard.

and unrooted it.

then encrypted it. (i know it was a bad idea, sorry.)

now/ when my phone boots, it asks for password without giving me a keyboard to type it.

im guessing security restriction dont allow custom keyboards to appear before unlocking encryption.

pls tell me a workaround way to fix this problem.

much grateful.

if i cant reconver my data, at least tell me how to get my phone back in working condition.

devin :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoddex:
are you at least able to enter download mode, or recovery mode???
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devin-J:
yes, but...

yeah, but i if i do stuff via download mode or recovery mode, i will loose my data right?

if possible, i dont want loose my data. only if possible. if no choice, then i dont mind.

so how do i know if i can enter download mode or recovery mode? pls help me. i think i can, but im not sure.

i was think of using an OTG cable with a usb keyboard. u think it will work?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoddex:
The keyboard might also not work as the phone would have nowhere to take the typed characters from. It's 50-50 chance.

For recovery/download mode, turn on the phone by holding volume power and home buttons and yes that would delete everything.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devin-J:
need a .tar version of any rom (stock/custom)

thanks for your reply. you were right, it didnt work.

can anyone tell me a source/link for any custom/stock rom in .tar format so that i can flash it with odin?

.zips can only be flashed with recovery and i prefer odin.

i need it desperately.

ps:

also, can anyone tell me if any recovery can detect external micro sd card or OTG cable storage?

I recently changed from pauls recovery to twrp and tried to wipe and flash new rom however now im stuck. twrp seems to have wiped some stuff but not all and the rom just boot loops. any help is welcome asap.

I get this message. E:error opening '/data/data/com.google.android.g and E:error: I/O error

I was having problems with TWRP recently (and periodically in the past). It would give errors and not flash/wipe/etc. I switched to the latest CWM and it's been working great so far. Just a thought it you cannot find a solution. I couldn't.

Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JeramyEggs:
I got this from trying to use TB, and it corrupted a file. I switched recoveries a couple of time wiping internal, and data, switched back to twrp, and been solid ever since. It is the way TB messes up. I don't blame twrp for my mistake. Even posted in nebula about it.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] :
My HTC Explorer is two years old and everything was working fine, suddenly i got an issue. whenever somebody call me i didn't get their calls. If i'm using my phone and somebody gonna call me yea i will receive his call but when my device in sleep mode. i didn't get any calls. I've tried other sim cards. I've unlocked bootloader and flashed again stock rom but issue is still persist. I'm assuming, it should be hardware problem. It's been two months passed since I've not find any solution.

Does anyone has similar issue?

Is it software related or hardware?

I will appreciate it if anyone could help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tikihiki:
Not sure if this is the right place for this, I tried to post on the Cataclysm ROM thread, but can't so I was redirected here.

My phone took a little tumble today and the top left corner took the hardest hit, making the prox. sensor always detect something near. This is a problem in calls so I want to disable it in calls.

My solution was to get a custom rom with that setting built in, so I downloaded Cataclysm build from 12/12/2013. According to the changelog, a miscelaneous setting was added on April 19, 2013 allowing for this. But when I look through the miscellaneous settings, I don't see that feature.

Were some features removed? Or am I just being stupid and not seeing how to do it.

So I have a LG G2 and My friend has the galaxy note 3 from AT&T. I have AT&T too.

He gets 4g out here in the mojave desert but I just get HSDPA...

Anyone know why?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] braxync:
Do you ever, or have you ever had 4G anywhere, or you just don't get 4G in that specific location?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brswattt:
Just the specific location.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gummybear00:
It's possible his phone is just showing HSDPA+ as 4G, aka both phones have different icons for the connection. If he's getting LTE and you're not, then it's a problem. See if you have similar signal strengths (bars) and speed with speed test.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] besweeet:
I guess it's called "Richnote." I'm wondering if someone could export that APK and upload it somewhere so that I can try and get it running on a Galaxy S4. I found http://koolwap.in/games_app/dld.php...ba/comlgeapprichnote-30200111-v32.htm&ext=apk, but the phone just says "application not installed." I have a notes backup from an old E970 that I'd like to view, but I obviously can't with the GS4 (the format is .rnt, whatever that is), and I don't have any other LG device to view them from.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Alex_XV6700:
Here it is.

I extracted the app from my phone using Stock 4.1.2

Its called Rich Note

Here is the

[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download/x483o5gtq3o8a8c/com.lge.app.richnote.apk"]link[/URL]
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
I have this one. Copy to system app and set permissions. Doesn't work with kitkat in ART mode.

https://app.box.com/s/qfxao2m9rcctp2b03eom
[AT&T LG Optimus G] besweeet:
Thanks guys!

Unfortunately, for both of those APKs, the phone just says application not installed.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
It won't install as a normal app. You need to copy it with a root explorer to system apps, set permissions and reboot.

Try this app it opens the notes I made with the lg notebook app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rookiestudio.perfectviewer&hl=en
[AT&T LG Optimus G] besweeet:
That probably explains it. The phone currently isn't rooted.

Regarding Perfect Viewer, it's unable to find the "backup.rnt" file that Richnote made during the export, even if I tell something like ES File Explorer to open that file with Perfect Viewer.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] besweeet:
So there's no way to install that app without rooting?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] besweeet:
So I rooted, copied one of the two APKs that were posted here into /system/app, changed the permissions to match the other APKs that I saw, rebooted, and nothing new showed up. Do these APKs need a matching OPEX file? Both of the Richnote APKs do this.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
The one I posted shows up as "notebook" in app drawer and it doesn't have an odex file. Not sure if that would keep it from working on an odexd ROM. It is a modded apk. and I am pretty sure I found in a Samsung forum.

Oh...and googling .rnt it says it is files for CNC machines, but there are some free programs to open them.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] besweeet:
Ah... I'm really confused, then. I tried putting some random APKs in /system/app and they ended up showing up after a reboot, so I'm not sure what's happening with the APKs that you guys posted.

I might just go to a T-Mobile store to open up my Richnotes backup and email all of the text to myself.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
This is where I got it from downloaded the zip and pulled app from it. Does it look like the same note app you are trying to get?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1938414
[AT&T LG Optimus G] besweeet:
I'm not sure what it looked like before (I barely used the phone), but I don't think that that's it.

I think I skipped out on your APK (the first two that I mentioned, one was from Alex_XV6700, the second was RichNote_a003.apk from a stock AT&T ROM for the E970). I put it in /system/apps, and the app works, but it's a different app overall, unfortunately. Thanks anyway.

I think the idea of going to a store to get the notes would be the easiest.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManImCool:
So I just got a AT&T black HTC One, unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP (first time, always used CWM in the past) rooted, s-off. Nandroid backup. I am no stranger to flashing ROMs with past devices but I CANNOT get a custom rom to install on this thing! I have tried a couple different 4.4 ROMs and each one always gives me some sort of error or failure when installing. Each time I do the standard TWRP wipe, then immediately try and flash, and they never successfully install. When I reboot it shows the HTC screen then crashes, and automatically reboots into recovery. Any ideas on what am I doing wrong? Is it something with TWRP I'm unaware of? Do the rom files have to be placed somewhere specific in TWRP?

This is what I see everytime after trying to flash a ROM:

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcar(the screen cuts off whatever comes after this)

Updating partition details...

Failed

Thanks in advance!

I am trying to load the contacts via db directly using following commands.

adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db <PATH>
adb push <PATH>/contacts2.db /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/

However, I have to restart my devices(trying with multiple Android phones) before it can update the contacts.

Is there a way to get the updated contacts from the pushed/removed db (no contacts) without restarting the devices?

I cannot use any third party app due to project requirements. Preferable solution would be via adb or similar command line tools.

A damp, soft terry cloth or a Clorox cleaning wipe. Just make sure they are DAMP and not dripping wet. You want to clean the device, not bathe it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidrums4:
As the Sony Xperia Z1 is kind-of-new, there aren't too many ROMs for it. Devs are working on some issues about unlocking bootloader and firmwares. I suggest waiting for them to do their job, cheer them up and consider make a donation. In my case I'm looking forward to use MIUI on my Xperia Z1.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lil-diabo:
It's all a matter of preference.

I've got Doomkernel installed and I'm constantly switching between monx and ihackers roms.

There are bits I like from each of them that the other doesn't have.Still haven't decided which one to settle on just yet.

As suggested, best way is to just flash, use it and flash again and find one that you like.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmgg2k:
The best combo for me is: Stock .290 rom, rooted with Doom kernel v.6 (unlocked bootloader) and use Xposed with Gravity Box

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stephonovich78:
Have a Verizon Galaxy Note 3 and reformatted my SanDisk 16GB Class 4 microSDHC that I had for my old phone to utilize with my new powerhouse. Upon taking pictures, I was not thrilled at all with the "Processing" time it was taking between shots. Purchased a SanDisk 16GB Extreme Pro microSDHC and did not notice any difference in processing time. Downloaded app "A1 SD Bench" and results from the test were Read speed of 21.48MB/s and write speed of 18.16MB/s. I can't seem to get a definitive answer if the Note 3 is UHS-1 compatible. If it is, I wonder if anyone else has achieved satisfactory results with the pairing of these to or if I am looking at a bunk card.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] killa12222:
The processing bit appears when using "Smart Stabilisation". Turn it off and it should be instant. Also, afaik Note 3 doesn't support UHS-1.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] h3ck:
I used a UHS-1 64GB with my note 2 and S 3 but unfortunately it died and I'm in the RMA process. But the card does work and at least in Note 2 there was no noticeable lag. Once I get my new card I'll try out that app.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stephonovich78:
I'll try shutting that part off and see if it makes a difference.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stephonovich78:
Interesting. I have heard people that have stated that these higher speed cards have worked well in their Note 2s and I wonder why they would work in the Note 2s and not the Note 3.

Start stabilization ^

I've used the Ultra and I'm currently using the Extreme Plus

Same thing happens
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stephonovich78:
Ok, but have you tested your speed on your card(s) to find if they were anywhere near the advertised speed? Trying to see if going to Class 10 was overkill.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
with a USB 3.0 reader, the Extreme Plus numbers were near or better than the advertised speeds. The Ultra was less than 30MB/s (which is the advertised speed)

Won't much of a difference within the phone since the phone doesn't support UHS-I

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
Many people don't realize that there are no phone that support UHS I, and the advertised speed is mainly for PC, or supported card reader.
