Hopefully this can help someone. I couldn't edit my *.xml file even though I am ROOTED. But I found this:

and it worked!! Now Titanium Backup is able to write successfully to my sdcard.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] droidmark:
PRESOLVED: My Tab is possessed by the devil!

When I tried to write a file to my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4's external SD card with Astro and it wouldn't work I was flustered. A little research turned up the crippled SD support in KitKat and how to fix things with the simple platform.xml hack. I did that, and all was right with the world again.

Then I got another 8.4, and actually cloned the first one to the second one with a nandroid backup. I also moved my SD card from the first to the second. Eventually I sold the first one and am just left with the second one. But somewhere along the way I lost the ability to write to the SD card, and I can't get it back!

The hacked platform.xml file was of course cloned along with everything else, but it just doesn't work. What's just as bad, or worse, is that apps which should write to external SD even without the hack (and which did, prior to this issue developing), such as Samsung's My Files, and Root Explorer, also are no longer able to!!!!

So to try and fix things, I flashed this ROM to my Tab: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2698460 But I still can't write to external SD, even with My Files!

Here's another problem, which may or may not be related: I also can't write to the external SD with the Tab connected to my computer. With a small file, the progress bar immediately jumps to 100% but then freezes and after a long time the copy times out with the message, "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected". With a large file the progress bar plods along, first at a normal speed but gradually getting slower and slower, until at some point it stops moving and the copy times out.

Please, I beg of you, help me exorcise my demon Tab!

SOLUTION: Before actually posting this plea for help, I re-formatted my SD card (in the Tab) and all functionality is restored. I post this at risk of making myself look like an idiot, in hopes that it might save someone else's hair.

Just wanted to add a postscript for anyone who might have a similar issue. I thought this problem was solved, as described above. Then a few days later when I booted up my tab, the SD card was shown as blank/unformatted. At that point I did some more digging and determined that it was actually a counterfeit 32GB card, based on an 8GB card. Got a refund, threw it in the trash and ordered a new 64GB card.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Riku37:
Hi, I have an Xperia U, and its bootloader its locked, and recently I had followed a guide to root it with bootloader locked with flashing and everything, and it worked, but more recently i thought about updating ir to cfw 4.1.2 JB, because i had 4.0.1 and it was very slow. so i used the other guy way to install a cfw (the one where you turn on the phone and press de vol up twice while at the sony logo, to go to that sorta cmd page), to instal the 4.1.2 cfw, and when i rebooted it got stuck on the sony logo. Now most of the guides to solve this problem, tell me to flash it but i cant do it, i cant connect my phone to the flash tool it stays connected for like 15 seconds and then disconnects and goes the sony loop.

What can i do to solve this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAXGEN:
I just went through the process of compiling a custom ROM and they used a stock kernel. I would like to incorporate a different kernel when I compile and instead of the stock. I know I could compile them separately and have them flash together but I want one zip to flash. Just would like to go through the process to learn.

Any help on how to do this or what I have to do when compiling?'

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
One of the easiest ways of doing this would be to take the boot.img thats contains the custom kernel you want and deleting the stock boot.img containing the stock kernel in your .zip file and replacing that with the boot.img of the custom kernel. Essentially you are just swapping the boot.img file in the .zip files with the one containing the custom kernel rather then the stock kernel. Let me know if you need me to explain things further or have any other questions I'll be happy to help you out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAXGEN:
Thanks for the response.

I have to first compile the custom kernel then it seems like an easy process after that. I'm going to try to compile Franco kernel for nexus 5 if u heard of it. Its been pretty good for me.

Any tips for compiling another project or Franco kernel would be great!? I will make a separate folder for that kernel git project and compile it there.

I also want to use tool chain like Linaro and maybe Sabermod but those are for nexus 4, maybe I can port it over.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Franco kernel is an excellent kernel can't really go wrong with it. On your other note, Linaro is not Android device specific it can be used to compile kernels for a plethora of devices, I would recommend taking a look at this great guide on how to use Linaro to compile your kernel and how to customize the Linaro toolchain to suit your needs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAXGEN:
So I tried following the post. Just not sure about a lot of things and got confused and couldn't compile.

So what I'm trying first before I use the LInaro tool chain is to try to compile the Franco kernel without it. I clone Franco hammerhead git and link the arm-eabi-4.6 toolkit

make hammerhead_defconf

make -j7

Seem to compile with no errors, took a minute though which seems quick but not sure where it exported to.

Tried looking in the arch/arm/boot/ but no look.

I want compile a boot.img as well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
I would recommend trying the following procedure:

mkdir franco
cd franco
git clone https://github.com/franciscofranco/hammerhead.git

After the clone operation completes rename the cloned folder to hammerhead or make sure it named hammerhead.

Now make sure your are in the franco folder you created and run the following commands:

git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6
export PATH=$(pwd)/arm-eabi-4.6/bin:$PATH
export ARCH=arm
export SUBARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
cd hammerhead
make hammerhead_defconfig
make -j4

Once it finishes this you should now have a zimage outputted in the path arch/arm/boot/zImage. To make the process of putting your zimage and module together run the following commands:

mkdir ~/franco/kernel_output
cp ~/franco/hammerhead/arch/arm/boot/zImage ~/franco/kernel_output/zImage
find ~/franco/hammerhead -name "*.ko" -exec cp {} ~/franco/kernel_output \; (You may have to run the command without the ";")

You should now have everything you need to make a boot.img. Let me know how it goes and if you still have questions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAXGEN:
Thanks for your help, W-XC (curious what that means and you have flying shoe is it because you run? You running in the next Boston Marathon?)

The kernel is actually using 4.7 so I just used the right git. I also found out it wasn't compiling because there was any error in that specific driver for CPU governor. The dev actually was about to push a fix and supposedly it will be push tomorrow but shared the commit so I was able to make the fix manually. Either case it compiles now. Working on step 2 which is to compile into the ROM.

I was curious you seem to know your stuff. Are you kernel dev? How did you gain your knowledge? I wanna learn more about Android OS and linux kernel? I taken basic OS classes in college so a lot of introduction to concepts but nothing on coding it though. Any books or anything you can recommend on any of these areas or anything closely related worth knowing? Thanks again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAXGEN:
For making a boot.img I tried the following. What would you suggest for mkbootimg?

I used this script to get my ramdisk.

http://www.enck.org/tools.html

But I'm little confused on where do you get the script for mkbootimg?

Is it from the android source or is it generated when you build the kernel or is it some script that someone made?

I found this posting for building a kernel with mkbootimg but the dilemmaI"m no having is what is correct commands for building.

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/rescue-squad-guides/31452-how-compile-your-own-kernel.html

The dev mention some commands in a posting several months ago.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47167725&postcount=291

That might be a way to go but the argument doesn't take with the mkbootimg from the droid forums. Syntax is not right so it makes me think that mkbootimg is unique.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAXGEN:
Thank you so much!!! Probably going to have to take some time to digest everything but definitely will have more questions when I'm done.

Quick question, do you have see "C" being replace? I have read some C code but haven't not yet coded anything in C. I been told that low level access you get with C is not comparable with other languages. I guess you would have to go to ASM to get even more access. ASM personally I run from it, probably should do more of it for practice. We do a lot of high level language C++, java, python and some others in school but no C. I probably can't avoid not being comfortable in it? C is not going to be replace by anything in future??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
You are correct in that to get even more low level access you start getting into assembly territory. What makes assembly difficult and what makes people from run form it is unlike very high level languages such as Python, Java, etc. it is much less human readable and a lot closer to machine language (Binary code), however like anything practice makes perfect the more you practice with a language the easier things get and the more confidence you have in programming things with it. If you really want to customize and develop kernels C is a must there is no getting around that unfortunately. As far as C being replaced with anything in the future, will it ever be replaced, probably as is the case with technology, but as far as it being replaced with anything equivalent or better in the next 10-20 years I doubt it, as it would take years to develop a new standard and even longer to be adopted and standardized to the point C is used and accepted today.

I'm sure when I first got the Wizard, a couple of ROM upgrades ago that it would turn on when I slid out the keyboard. This was great as it saved a slide AND a key press.

I haven't had this functionality for a while and am wondering what i need to do to get it back. Does anyone know?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Sleuth255:
I thought so too, but subsequent checking here showed that they have always behaved this way. Sliding out the kbd never activates from powersave mode.

I wonder if my original perception was because when I first got my 8125 I had a different backlight setting that turned off the backlight while still leaving it powered up. In this case, I believe sliding the kbd out will appear to activate.

Backstory: Just got my replacement S4 (warranty) and luckily it still had the MDK bootloader. I was able to root and install CWM without any issues (having the SIM pulled the entire time). I am very anxious about getting my phone setup I d/l CM11 and the MK2 modem. This is where the trouble started.

I flashed the modem.bin using Odin 3.07 and it passed. Then I flashed CM11 and had no issues. Stayed on WiFi to get everything loaded and when I turned off WiFi, I noticed that I can only get 3g service. This is in a 4g dense area that I have never had a problem getting 4g before. I thought it was CM11 so I revert back to stock with root, but still no 4g. Now I am getting frustrated and put the stock modem back using Odin (this time it was the tar.md5 file) and still no 4g.

Final Point: So I don't know what I am doing wrong. I can get 2g/3g/WiFi, but no 4g. Still have the IMEI in the phone status.

All help is appreciated since I can't find anything topic to help with my situation.

[Ouya General] mantamod:
Hi everyone,

Wanted to let the community know that we've created a game modding driver called MantaMod, which works directly at the OpenGL ES stream by intercepting it before passing on to the actual Android device gpu driver. Since it works at the driver layer, control or modding of Android games can be done without needing to change the original game APK package.

We are a small team and haven't had a chance to try it out ourselves on the Ouya device though, so it'll be great if someone could give it a shot. Any feedback or 'wishlist' for desired features / supported games is much appreciated! Do drop us a note at mantamod@gmail.com, we'll be glad to hear from you.

Some background: Things that can be done with MantaMod include:

- Texture Replacement: run-time dynamic insertion of custom textures into games allowing you to change the game graphics without needing to modify the original APK.

- Unlocked view camera: via run-time gpu shader replacement, you can unlock the game view camera and freely move it around anywhere in the 3D game scene without moving your player character

See some screenshots of the free-camera feature in the DeadTrigger zombie shooter game, as well as screenshots of various graphics mods done in Clash of Clans, SubwaySurf, AngryBirds Star Wars, etc on our website www_mantamod_com or our twitter / facebook pages

Cheers

The MantaMod Team
[Ouya General] nex86:
sounds interesting. Especially the texture replacement feature would be amazing to make HD texture packs for some games.

Also, is there any way to squeeze some more performance out of the Tegra 3 like lowering the resolution ?
[Ouya General] mantamod:
Yep we actually already have the resolution change as one of the internal features, we can expose that via the web control UI for end-users if you're interested.

Let us know if there's a specific game you're interested to try this out with, we'll be glad to do up an interceptor driver for that game.

Cheers
