[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strokemesilly:
Hey.

After a random crash/reboot my phone has decided to hang at the glowing Samsung screen.

Ive tried wiping cache and dalvik to no avail, hangs at app installation, and am not prepared to format yet as i have critical data i need recovering first.

I have notes on my stock homescreen note widget and im not sure if it has been backed up on the google account.

Can i access the note file/s through PhilZ Recovery?

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
If you can still get into CWM, go to 'mounts and storage' and select 'mount SD card'. Then (without leaving CWM) connect your phone to your PC/laptop. Any data now stored in your phone *should* be accessible via the comp.

As to whether your notes will be available, that depends on where the app has stored them........

Thanks Keith.

Any idea what path the samsung memo widget stores notes? filename extension etc?

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strokemesilly:
Also, it looks as though USB Storage Mount in recovery does not make system level partition files accessible in windows, only the storage partition files.

I cant find anything pertaining to the "Memo" application anywhere otherwise..

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
If I remember, aren't there options to mount other partitions.....you could try that.........

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strokemesilly:
Just tried it with 3 different kernels and the only option that mounts and is recognised is USB Mount.

The rest, system, efs, emmc etc do not mount.

Any other suggestions?

Also, do you know if the stock samsung Memo app stores the notes on the sdcard partition or the system/emmc/files or whatever partition?

Im happy to wipe data if i know it wont affect my saved notes.

Cheers again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
OK......first step, make a nandroid backup of your current setup.

Then wipe cache, dalvik and data and try to reboot.

If that succeeds, download titanium backup and extract the data from your nandroid.

If it fails, reflash your current setup, reboot, download TiBu and extract the data.

Two points to remember.....

1) make the nandroid BEFORE you wipe.....

2) try to copy the nandroid to your PC prior to wiping as well........

Edit....it's now 3.20 am where I am, so I'm off to get some sleep....I'm afraid if you need more help, someone else will have to answer....g'nite y'all.....

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jayharper08:
Just wanted to clarify what the differences are between android and original development. Here are some KEY points by our very own pulser_g2.

The following are most likely “Original Development”:

*Official releases of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them

*Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.

*A significant “first” in development for a device. Significant is subjective, but it is likely something which took considerable time/effort, and is generally accepted by developers to be significant and non-trivial.

*Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available. Some element of original work is expected.

*Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.

*Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to users of the target device. The port should be beneficial (a port from two virtually identical devices isn’t original development, it’s winzipping, and nobody really benefits from this, as it’s not development)

The following are most likely not “Original Development”, and should be posted in the “Android Development” subforum:

*Your own “unofficial” stock build of your favourite original, source-built (or otherwise) ROM, particularly where an official or maintainer-endorsed thread exists already.

*Minor derivatives of other ROMs with little or no changes, or ROMs consisting of “placebo” features as a main constituent or claim.

*Renames or rebadges of others’ work – these don’t belong on XDA at all! Refer to rule 12 for more information.

*Reposts of existing ROMs with small changes (i.e. kitchen work, such as adding a couple of apps). If you could realistically distribute your changes as an “addon pack” above and beyond a ROM, you should do so. In addition, your “ROM” would not be original development as it would be substantially identical to the original ROM.

*A thread created with unrealistic goals that are clearly unachievable by those starting the thread. This is not intended to discourage high aspirations, rather to prevent threads porting Windows Phone 8 to the HTC Wallaby. This is pretty much common sense.

*A ROM where a main or significant claim/feature is graphical changes to the user interface (ie. Themed ROM)

You can find all the info for it here. Threads will be moved if they do not meet the "Original" development requirements. Thank you guys and have fun! :highfive:

Hey guys!

I'm experiencing a very strange and annoying issue with my BA, and I was wondering if I could get some input from you.

So, here goes:

The touchscreen (not LCD) in my unit was broken, and thus I decided to fix it. I purchased a new one off eBay a few weeks ago, and just yesteday I proceeded to install it. To my surprise, something seems to have gone wrong.

I power up the unit, make my way into "Allign screen", and then the last "cross" that I have to touch rarely clicks in. On the other hand, when it does get detected, it simply restarts the alligning process.

What I've tried so far:

- allign right after installation -> no luck

- hard reset (on WM2k5_v4_R2.1) -> no luck again

- opened up the unit again, repositioned the screen -> nothing

- upgraded to Logout_WM2K5_5.4.03_HN -> still nothing

Right now I'm out of ideas, and I was hoping somebody here has some. Do you think the new touchscreen might be flawed ? I'm already discussing this issue with the seller.

Thanks for reading :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] fluffcat1:
New touchscreen or a refurb? Same type? (toppolly / sony) Sounds like it's been stripped from an old unit to me as it's not recognising the taps in the right places - can you see somehting like a liquid spill anywhere on the panel? This is what it looks like when the overlay touches the glass.

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9720199180&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1

That was in fact my auction. Looked like brand spanking new to me, not one single stylus mark, and also had the protective sheet on. Of course, I might be wrong :)

Also, no liquid spill visible anywhere.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] schattat:
Hey NSD!

I purchased the exact same module for my Himalaya device, after the touchscreen being cracked.

My father, who is an electronic engineer, soldered the flat wire from the touchscreen onto the rear side of the LCD with normal copper wires. Unfortunately I have the exact same problem a you!

After attaching the entire LCD (+touchscreen) onto the mainboard, and supplying power from the battery, I'm not able to go past the Align Screen section!!!

The touchscreen is from the manufacture 'Asian Media' (I think so...).

It can't be a coincidence, that both of our touchscreens don't respond to tapping!!!

Anybody been able to get this problem fixed??

Any help would be appreciated!!!

Kind Regards,

Tony Schattat
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] arliss:
I never replaced the touchscreen of my BA but I have replaced the screen of my ex ipaq 6315 once.

And one thing that I know is that sometimes the screen align process is different from the normal, I mean, it keeps repeating and repeating again many times....until the unit finally passes the align step and finishes the configuration. Actually I´ve "aligned" the screen more than 30 x (when I replaced the screen).

It happened just once and then I had a completely normal unit.

I've tried to find an answer here, on XDA but found nothing (There's this apx driver but download page is broken)

Has anyone else tried to run OzVGA with the new O2 Exec ROM recently released?

I've now tried twice and both times after rebooting into VGA mode it locks on the image with what looks like the sun. I can see the Select and Exit today buttons across the bottom but thats it.

Oh and the signal LED is flashing so at least something is working.

No response from the device at all.

Bought my XDA Exec a week ago and had been struggling to install OzVGA via downloads from other threads here. Saw your posts here, gave it a go, worked first time. Thanks for the pointer.

Only a small number of font issues with the built-in monitor programs, but the main apps seem to display well. Only unexpected quirk for me is that I can no longer get a fingernail to the Close (red cross) button in the top-right-hand corner - the bezel gets in the way! Still, I'm prepared to sharpen my nails as per a recent thread!

Any clues as to the source - is it a variant of OzVGA, or a different product?

Hor./Ver. Scrollbar, Min Scrl Thumb: 20

ozVGA: 750, 900, 975, 1200, 1500

Here is the file you need and the instructions. The only difference is that you should not use the files contained in the "Windows Folder Files" of the .rar but download the new and updated dll files for AKU2 from here:VGA files

Extra step

: Create a shortcut to VJBigPhoneRes in \windows\startup

Notes:

1. Backup so you don't have to hard reset if anything goes wrong.

2. Before replacing the files in \windows with the ones contained in "vgasystemfiles" make sure you backup the originals.

3. WM5 do not allow overwriting ROM files from your PC. You can however move the files to your SD and do it from there.

4. You will get a new icon on the bottom right hand corner, for VJBigPhoneRes. If for any reason the phone app does not appear correctly just tap on it and "Load and fix phone".

5. The only phone buttons that do not appear correctly are on the PIN input screen but that's not really an issues since you can type the pin and hit enter.

Hope this helps.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xfaethorx:
i've tried this on my O2 exec with what so far seems to be a large ammount of success here. (following the instructions in the last post).

I have reco explorer installed so it makes overwriting the rom based files (power.exe etc).

I recommend that you use something like spb backup to back the device up in its entirity before you do this!

Also it would be good if we had a revert application for the phone vbj stuff but for now , hey , it works if you have a spare 10 minutes to set it up.

I surfed to one of my regular sites via opera and it looks excellent on par with the Zaurus SL-3200 runing firefox.

Previously when i tried this alot of the GFX were mangled. so far i've only found a little bit of mangled GFX.

Hudsons IP Dashboard ends up getting a bit squished but its nothing that ruins the uses of the app. Also looks like the bottom right hand corner of active sync has a little bit of corruption. but its not as if it makes the device un-usable.

I'm looking at it now and it looks EXCELLENT! The one thing that concerns me is battery drain, i would have thought this will effect the battery with it having to draw more of a screen now but i'll keep a check on it.

I'm running the latest 02 rom so I can confirm a large ammount of success and if you use spb backup you can easily restore the device should you need to..

to be fair though, you need good eye sight, i've turned the font up to biggest and it still looks good (also helps a little with spacing).

have a bash, don't be scared! :p
