[Fascinate General] TodWulff:
A friend retired her Fassy, indicating that it was dog slow, wouldn't hold a charge, and took foreva to take a charge. She asked me if I wanted to play with it for a bit.

I got it, and kept it off to charge it up - seemed to top off in a reasonable amount to time - not too quick, not too slow. Once charged, I hopped on it and, woah, she definitely had something corrupted.

I went into eff it mode, pulled down all of her pics/vids/audio/dls/snaps/etc. and proceeded to root it and install a recovery. Having only owned my GS3, I have only ever been exposed to 4.x versions of android. With this device having a 2.x flavor onboard, I felt the rush of discovering something old and admiring changes for the better and observing trusted old ways of the wise.

I actually struggled a bit finding a good way to root it and get a recovery installed. I ended up following Section 4 herein and got CWM installed. From there, it was gravy getting AOKP 4.2.2 installed.

I ran some testing over the last few days, just to see how the battery survived this current generation version of Android on some older chassis' hardware. Frankly, I am really surprised that it lasted as long as it did. I kept WiFi on and have a reasonable amount of apps installed (the norm social media, gapps, etc.). I think it is safe to say that her battery and hardware are very likely fine.

Of course, real-world use will predicate a much shorter battery life. But, I think it will work fine for her, for now. And, yes, she wants it back... :crying: I was hoping she would say 'just keep it' as I was looking forward to having another droid to play with, besides my main phone (GS3) that I can't afford to be playing with too much, as it is my link to work here at the home office.

Anyways, wanted to drop a note confirming a positive experience with the Fassy and Android 4.x. Peace. Out.

i was running 4.22 based Jellybro version 7-17(the last one before they stopped developing for it) for a while. Without the devil Kernel, I got battery life of about a day and 8 hours. With 7-19 Devil Kenel I was getting around 2-3 days total. Granted I ran without mobile data turned on but I did use it with Talk and Text plus wifi so without the 3G radio to sap the battery, my results might be a little biased. Also I use 3500 mah batteries.

I am playing with Paranoid Android(4.4 based ROM) on that Fassy and battery life is even better. It;s got some glitches in it though but I like where it;s heading.

Hi.

I'm trying to resurrect my old samsung fascinate from verizon. It's rooted with EH09 but it won't charge my new battery. Can you post the link for the AOKP 4.2.2 rom you installed?

Thanks,

Devan

stay with the 4.22 versions, the 4.3 and 4.4 versions are more experimental and mobile data might not be working correctly or a littlle flaky.

[Asus Transformer TF700] llcooljayce:
Hey guys,

I am back to using the TF700T after about a year's absence from it. I've done a bunch of tweaks on it some time ago and can't really remember all the things that have been done. I know that the device is rooted and unlocked but couldn't tell you the ROM or anything else ... not that it matters.

I want to get this thing back up and running as fast as possible so I am looking for some suggestions on a lightweight ROM that has speed as its focus. I don't care if I lose everything on it and would like to go back to as factory of a feel as possible ... I'm even open to the OTA ROM if people believe it's the best.

Can someone provide some suggestions on where to start?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
This is maybe what you are looking for....;) It is light version of Cromi X and very fast in my opinion...:good:

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Most popular, for a very good reason, is CROMi-X. Based on the stock rom, cleaned and optimized to the nines. It's how the stock rom should have been

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2425383

Lightweight?

Go for miniCROMi-X - stripped down to the essentials, very fast but you may miss some bells and whistles but definitely worth a try.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2520828

Want Kitkat on the TF700? CyanogenMod 11 will get you there. Still some bugs though.

Then there's OMNI ROM, Paranoid, CMB.... they all have a thread in the Development section. Check them out.

Make sure you update your bootloader and recovery to the required version. If you didn't update in a year, both are definitely outdated!
[Asus Transformer TF700] llcooljayce:
Thank you for the suggestions but could you point me in the right direction to update my bootloader and recovery? It's been a while and I don't want to hard brick my Transformer.

I have since updated my computer so I'm sure my drivers for the Transformer aren't up to date ...

Sorry to ask but could you walk me through the process as if I'm new to it again?

Very much appreciated.

What I am most afraid of is that I don't know what version of the Transformer it is ... US, World Wide ... the build number seems to have deleted all reference when I had flashed to ClearROM. Any way to figure this out with another method?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Well if you are in the US, most likely it is US... And it doesn't matter that much on a custom ROM anyway.

Read the OP in the CROMI-X thread and follow the instructions for scenario 2. Download the bootloader /TWRP package provided there, flash it, reboot, do a factory wipe in TWRP and you're good to flash the rom.
[Asus Transformer TF700] llcooljayce:
Problem is that I am in Canada and Canadians get either the WW or US version. From what I am reading, if I choose the wrong bootloader, I will brick my device. Any other way to determine the SKU version?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
The bootloader is universal. Only the firmware is regional. Look in About Tablet > Build Number. Even your old CROMi version should have a US or WW in it. But AFAIK Canada is North America, which is US - sorry, I know it's a sore point with you Canadians :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] llcooljayce:
The Build Number indicates CleanROM 3.1 inheritance without anything else

Will I brick if I choose the wrong bootloader?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Possibly if you flash the WRONG bootloader, but you won't if you flash the bootloader/TWRP package from the OP of the CROMi-X thread!

It contains the 10.6.1.14.10 bootloader (which is the latest for this tablet) and TWRP 2.6.1 which has been rock solid on this device.

During installation of the rom (if you go for CROMi-X) you will have the choice to install the WW or US version. The difference is mostly in the WiFi modules in the kernel I think, different channels are used in Europe and the US. But really, even if you flash the "wrong" version - you can just reflash the other one right on top of it.

If you go for a CM rom you don't even have that "problem". There are no regional versions for CM - and thousands of users are still very happy with it....

Read the CROMi-X OP carefully. Read it again - and then again until you're sure you understand the instructions.

Maybe a refresher would help. I wrote a beginners guide to flashing a rom on this tablet (most of it you won't need since you already have a custom recovery installed, but maybe it would be helpful to you to understand the process).

http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...ginners-guide-flashing-custom-rom-tf700t.html

For you only these steps are needed:

Flash the bootloader/TWRP package mentioned above

Reboot

Boot into recovery and do a Factory Wipe in TWRP

Flash the rom

Enjoy
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Boot into the bootloader menu (hold down Volume-left while turning on), it shows the bootloader version.

The bootloader also has US and WW versions, but they are identical except for the displayed version string (at least I compared the 10.6.1.14.4 bootloaders back when they were released).
[Asus Transformer TF700] andand1234:
First post ever here at xda. My suggestion would be to start with flatline, to bricksafe your device. Then it is all about taste. Personally I prefer Cromi-X by sbdags.
[HTC One X] praxis22:
Just had the "the phone is working but the screen won't power on" (Black Screen) problem. the fix to which after trying the light sensor, and multiple reboots, is this:

Simply drop the phone face down twice while seated, then try the power button again. As dumb as that sounds, it works, at least for me. Found a video on youtube.

The question is, how long have I got? The phone has been a bit balky of late, losing charge quicker, wifi hasn't worked well since the JB 4.2.2 update, now this. I love the phone, but I don't want it to fail before I'm ready, as it were.

Ideas? Experiences, (anecdotal and otherwise) anyone seen this before?

Cheers!
[HTC One X] praxis22:
And the answer is?

Not long as it turns out. Managed to get a backup, note down my desktop and few other things, then it crapped out for good. installed KitKat on my old Galaxy S, socket my SIM and we're off to the races. Works like a charm and surprisingly quick for it's age. So now you know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FreXxX:
Hey,

my GNex (GSM version) is running very, very slow at the moment. I already tried cleaning the cache and using LagFix, but as fstrim is already included in 4.3, that shouldn't be a problem.

I'm running stock 4.3, rooted but no tweaks or anything applied, root is only for Titanium Backup. My recovery is ClockworkMod 6.0.3.6 non-touch.

So what I'm trying to do is to reflash the stock image as provided by Google, without loosing data, and I'm not sure which steps I should take and before I lose anything I wanted to check back with you if I miss anything.

So, here is how I would do it:

1: Unlock bootloader. It has been unlocked to root the phone, but is locked with the BootUnlocker app. (We don't wanna lose the unlocked bootloader, right?)

2: Nandroid backup. Can't hurt, I guess. Should not really be needed, but better safe than sorry.

3: Run a full Titanium Backup. Store it somewhere safe (not on the phone.)

4: Backup all the data from the device. Problem here is, Windows Explorer crashes if there are many files it should copy, so has anybody a idea how to overcome this?

5: Download factory image and flash it. There are enough tutorials on that around here.

6: Booting the device first time, but let it be offline and not adding a google account. (Is that right?)

7: Reroot the device. Also enough tutorials.

8: Let Titanium Backup work its magic.

9: Restore data to internal storage.

10: Add google-account.

So, is that right, the right order, did I miss anything? Thanks for your thoughts on this!
[LG Optimus G Pro] GuestK00434:
noob question. . .

E980

I'm back to stock, removed unwanted bloat, etc. . .

Would like a way to make a full system backup that won't end in a boot loop.

I've used freegee->cwm and that works fine if I boot to recovery from freegee however, if I hard boot (volume up + power) into recovery I end up in a boot loop back to cwm every time — many threads here about it but haven't found a true fix only recovery info. I've also tested philz touch, and same thing happens. freegee->twrp didn't work on my device.

I've cleaned the device up, unrooted, restored, rooted, etc. . . so there is no trace of the old cwm on the device, and I have NOT run freegee — don't see a point as I'm not flashing a rom and it never gave me a "remove lge security."

Since the bootloader is NOT unlocked, and loki is needed for a custom ROM, am I still in that same boat if I'm staying with stock and just want a full backup, or can I use whatever? TWRP, Rom Manager, etc. . .

thx

If you mean system apps, then TitaniumBackup will work if you're rooted.

[LG Optimus G Pro] GuestK00434:
I mean the entire thing — os/system/apps/data

thx

edit:

to clarify, I want an nandroid backup. . . but I don't want to end up in boot loop if I hard boot to recovery.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
For a full backup, you'll need a custom recovery. I'd highly suggest Madmack's hacked TWRP which has worked flawlessly for me since I started using it many months ago. You can find it in one of his CM threads. Flash it through one of the recoveries included in freegee then reboot back into recovery and you're good to go.

As far as apps and user data, TitaniumBackup would be perfect for ya. It'll fully backup all user / system apps WITH data to your internal or external SD to which you could restore apps and data of your choosing if you do a factory reset. Also allows you to freeze system apps instead of just deleting them.

[LG Optimus G Pro] GuestK00434:
Having lived with stock Nexus for so long I haven't had to deal with backing up the entire system. Titanium is great but I need a restore point after debloating this thing, and from everything I've read and what you are saying, the OGP (all devices afaik) need a recovery specific to them.

I was looking for madmack's hacked twrp the other day and couldn't find it. . . will go looking again.

Thanks.
[LG Optimus G Pro] GuestK00434:
Sorry, forgot to ask. Does Madmack's hacked twrp need freegee? Never found the main page for Macmack's TWRP for the OGP.
[LG Optimus G Pro] GuestK00434:
found madmack's twrp. . .

had to install freegee to put cwm in order to flash the zip. . .

next reboot went into madmack's twrp. . . but I'm really afraid to hardboot into any recovery — every single one I've tried ended in a boot loop when I go from power off to volume up + power.

I'll just keep using freegee and hope I never have to hard boot into recovery :eek:

thanks again.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
Getting into recovery is a bit tricky on the OGP from a hardboot.

From the device being off, hold Home, volume up and power. You'll see the LG logo. Keep holding these buttons and it'll restart again. Once you see the LG logo for the second time, release the power button while keeping the home and volume up pressed. It'll boot into recovery. Hope this helps.

[LG Optimus G Pro] GuestK00434:
OH, I've been able to get into recovery via hardboot. . . just haven't been able to get out of recovery lol

Will wait till after the weekend and try a hardboot with madmack's twrp — they all work fine going into recovery via freegee.

Thanks for everything!
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
Ah. I've had no trouble exiting from Madmack's TWRP. I have had weird bootloops from others, at times, and sometimes the touch screen wouldn't work correctly on freegee's TWRP. No troubles at all via the hacked TWRP. :3

[LG Optimus G Pro] GuestK00434:
I hope you are right. Going to hold off till Monday or Tuesday to test the hard boot recovery.

I've got a question for you. Do you know of a way to uninstall CWM that was installed with FreeGee?

I've read people say that one recovery is over written by the other, however, I know that isn't the case. If you unroot via supersu it'll remove the last recovery you installed but you'll be able to hardboot into the previously installed recovery — got stuck in a boot loop with that one once already. I'll do some hunting, but thought I would ask.

Thx
[LG Optimus G Pro] GuestK00434:
Couldn't help myself. . . had to test the cold start into recovery. IT WORK! Got in, powered off, powered back on and restarted no problem — that little sequence in CWM would have ended in a recovery loop.

OH, that would have saved me a lot of time and effort. Will have to dig up some other threads where people were having this issue.

THANKS!!!
[LG Optimus G Pro] GuestK00434:
I have a question for you about TWRP. It's having no problem with rebooting no matter how I enter, which is great.

However, I restored my device from a previous backup, after I wiped everything, however the internal sd did not have the folders from when I backed everything up. It only had a few of them. However it seems the apps had the information. Example: Boat Browser's folder wasn't there after reboot, but once I started boat browser and looked into the bookmark setting the folder appeared in the internal sdcard..

is this normal behavior?

I am currently experiencing hardware issues concerning my mobile signal and GPS tracking. I believe this is a hardware issue rather than a software one, since it occurred after I had dropped the phone from 1.6m up onto concrete. I have also tried other networks with the phone which also do not appear to work. I then disassembled my disassembled nexus but I didn't notice any cracks in the antenna, so I'm stuck as to where to look next. Any suggestions would be helpful, or any ideas as to what piece of hardware may need replacing (wire, controller etc)
