[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KWOKSFUNG:
Hello guys I'm pretty new with samsung

I have a GT-N8010 and there's significant screen flickering problem!!

I searched for some info

Afterwards, i tried to force stop and uninstall some 5h1t app from the device but the problem is still here

The problem was quite minor in the first few month, it raerly happen and could be recover immediately by turning off and on the screen again. But it was not tolerable these days as it wont recover by that and keep getting more and more serious like crazy colour changing and i cant easilly find a way to stop it :'(

What should I do to fix it??

I dont care if I have to root it or something, just hope i dont have to format the as i use the S-Note for copying lecture notes and i dont want to lose them (maybe i should backup with Kies to prevent that)

Yes, the main function of this 10.1 is to copy notes and it cant even serve well here, hope if someone could help me

(I have some experience on flashing different roms and mods on Sony devices, so maybe i can handle some on samsung as well)

Did you install an auto brightness app?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KWOKSFUNG:
No, sometimes I use auto brightness app but it's the stock option on settings
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rkkn16ht:
Wrong settings of auto brightness apps can cause flickers.

An obsolete / out of date auto brightness apps can also cause flickers.

I was going through the thread , [15.11.2012][ICS]PhilZ Touch 3.00 - CWM Based Recovery 6.0.1.5 (Temporary flash) by Phil3759. It talks about flashing a temporary on a stock recovery. I have few queries about this (This is about the concept rather the actual method itself, so though its for S2, posting here)

1. If I understand correctly, stock samsung recovery (3e) looks for signed zips (signed by samsung). So either this is writen for older recovery (2e) which may have allowed unsigned zips OR stock recovery refers to something else (thats not from samsung)

2. If my understanding is correct, there is a separate recovery partition which holds its own recovery kernel separate from the normal boot kernel. In this background, what does flashing insecure kernel means? does this procedure replace the main android kernel? does this insecure kernel also act as recovery kernel when booted in recovery?

3. is there anyway to backup recovery partition (as far as I can think of, this may not be possible. As I have not seen any way to root SGR without installing custom recovery first. and through heimdall, I dont think a dump can be taken of partitions)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
That thread is old and doesn't apply to the R in any way.

1) Almost no OEM stock recoveries allow flashing custom signed zips, only those signed by the specific OEM. Sometimes it does work though, if they don't set it up correctly. This is why we could root on JB on the O4X, it allows zips signed with test keys to be flashed.

2) Insecure kernel means you flash a rooted / ADB-enabled kernel on the main boot partition. Yes, it replaces the main kernel. No, it doesn't act, recovery has a totally different kernel. Flashing insecure kernel should only be done from custom recovery, doing so from Odin / Heimdall triggers yellow triangle.

3) It's possible from ADB even if you aren't rooted. You can dump with Heimdall too, Google gives a lot of results.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] rbanavara:
Thank you Adam77Root

Thank you Adam77Root, that cleared my doubts regarding the recovery.

What I was referring to was like the dump of the partition with dd (or probably tar). On linux, normally if you are not root, you wont have disk access (or unless you are part of disk group). Isn't it the same with android kernel as well?

I have found some info about backup of partiton through heimdall / odin. I am going through that. Will update later on that

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] Buji:
I imagine this does not bode well for android changing it's SD card policy in kitkat and later.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] tonyz3:
There is a simple fix for that someone else posted. Right now i have no issues with my current card after applying the fix. sorry dont have a link but i know it is posted in another thread on here...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] Buji:
Sure, it's easy to enable write access to SD cards if you're rooted, but the tablet still won't move apps to the card. Unless I've missed something.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] tonyz3:
Unless I missed something I have no problems moving apps to my sd card. Just received my Sammy 64 GB from the sale yesterday and it works fine. Got the pro model.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] Buji:
Are they actually getting moved to the SD card? Are you using the built in system app manager to move them? Mine says itvs moving them but really its just moving them to the virtual "sdcard" storage that is really the system memory. When I check the storage utilization of the real SD card it doesn't show anything relocated.

Okay..

After a long testing and debugging session with AbduL_PT

This Guy is the only one who can make TWRP work with Rockhip devices. Check his thread and give him some BEER. He Deserve it!:good:

We finally come up with TWRP for our device!!! :victory:

DISCLAIMER: Rooting any Android device or installing a custom ROM firmware will void the warranty of the device and might only be restored by flashing the phone back to stock firmware and uninstalling custom recoveries and such.

launch RKTOOLS again and choose "recovery-stock" image from Recovery folder

I was able to do FULL NANDROID BACKUP and RESTORE successfully using this recovery

Since our device use /data/share as Internal SD card, we have manage the following (credits joe.stone)

Fixed Internal SD handling , now it is correctly /data/share not data/media .

Fixed wipe of Data . Now it does not removes the content of internal SD.

BUGS

1. Data nandroid backup the whole /data partition (includes /data/share which is Internal SD card)

2. Internal SD nandroid back up /data partition as well

3. Default Storage is internal SDcard (it can change to External SD on Mount Menu)

4. If FORMAT Data is chosen on Wipe Menu, reboot to recovery is required

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] prometej-zg:
Tried today your beta on my Huawei Mediapad 7 Lite (S7-931u) and seems to me, it is working just fine!

I can only say, great job guys! :good:

Had same issues with Cust partition like in BUGS section of you introduction post, but in the end recovery went OK.

Tried compressing backup and restore and it works.

Didn't try Install option of the recovery, cause i don't know any custom ROMs existing for this tablet, and didn't try Mount option cause don't know what to test.

One minor thing/bug I noticed (if it is even important), when recovery is done and press reboot my tablets screen flips upside down until reboot, afterwards it back to normal.

Anyway, thanks for your effort, now it is time to experiment without reinstall everything from scratch ;)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Angat:
So what exactly does this do to a device?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] prometej-zg:
TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is a custom recovery just like CWM (ClockworkMod).

Custom recovery is used for different OS customization, but mostly is used for installing custom ROMs (like CyanogenMod, CarbonROM, etc.) and full device backup and restore, well at least that is why is mostly known for.

If you are interested in more on TWRP you can follow this links for more: link1, link2
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] pogs24ever:
yeah.. the first twrp releases created for this device is inverted... Abdul just add some tweak to get the proper orientation for our device

good thing you confirm that nandroid back up works!

are you part of 4pda people?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] prometej-zg:
Yes, nandroid backup works ok, at least on my model.

Didn't have other ROM to test, but I've tested it by "destroying" some parts of stock ROM (apps, settings, etc.) and tried recovery.

Maybe I'll try some RK2918 generic ROM if found something useful.

No, I'm not part of 4PDA people/community, why do you ask?

I'm just a enthusiast who started tinkering around this tablet frustrated with its stock ROM (in)stability.

I've read some 4PDA forum posts and they really have interesting discussions on the subject of Mediapad 7 Lite, but sometimes I'm a bit lost in translation even when using Google Translate. Cyrillic I can read, but speaking/writing Russian sadly no.:o
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] pogs24ever:
Thats nice... anyway i found some generic rk2918 cm10 i will to port one...
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Angat:
Since I am kinda new to this stuff, just to be clear, can I flash a custom ROM and update my Android using this and if yes, where do I get the ROM from and are there any particular instructions for flashing it?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] prometej-zg:
TWRP is not custom ROM, but recovery/install tool that can help you install custom ROMs.

You can flash only custom ROM that is compatible with your device. E.g. MediaPad 7 Lite is based on RK2918 System-on-chip (aka. SoC), and it needs ROM with configuration (settings, drivers, etc.) for that hardware configuration, so it is not easy task to make fully compatible custom ROM, especially if you don't know or don't have source code for you device.

Android platform has very high device "fragmentation", so custom ROM for device with similar hardware specs, can still make your device unusable or bricked at worst if not careful.

As I said before, I didn't find any custom ROM for Mediapad 7 Lite, but I've seen some customization on stock ROM (based on SP19 firmware) on 4PDA forum (but I think it contains only Russian localization - I'm not sure!)

There are some RK2918 custom ROMs (mostly CM10) for some tablets, but don't know it they would be easily customized to this tablet.

Search XDA forum, it has a lot of forum threads on this and similar subjects.

Anyway... if you plan to experiment, you need to be careful, if you don't want your tablet to become "PaperWeight 7 Lite" ;)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Angat:
Thank you for you're reply. I will for now, keep my device as it is. Thank you for you're time.

#############################

sorry if next appears negative, I am not an expert just seeking to clarify some things

I have unpacked our TWRP and it appears to be a port of another device.

eg inside build.prop I can see

secondly inside init.rc there is no line to import the usb rc file instead I only see this import

OOOH there is no usb rc file but I can bodgee one up if you are interested.

altho I have no experience with TWRP I have ported 3 CTRs that show at needrom, so I have some skills....modest too

Did you guys focus on the big picture and forget to update the text files?

Do you mind if I have a go at fixing and either pm you a download link or forum link?

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] pogs24ever:
Hmmm!?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] :
I am sorry to bring more bad news......but I think I have a found a possible answer to why the id is wrong in TWRP.

EDIT and I am hoping this is the reason why fastboot is not working for me, altho I know not all devices support fastboot. As my udev is right, rebooting and looking for fastboot is currently a fail........but thats one more test I shall have to do in rebuilding our TWRP.

The id is wrong in the stock BOOT image unpacked. That is, our porter may have taken that id as gospel without checking it independently. Also I am aware our device will still have different ids such as for the modem which is often a different manufacturer........I am often wrong.....but this I feel explains the human error in TWRP.

It shows for its init.rc

forgive me for pointing out the correct id is 12d1 as showing here

http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids

For anyone interested 18d1 is Google.

2) EDIT I was initially planning to have a go at fixing our current TWRP. The time to edit and check stuff is roughly the same time and effort to port a more recent TWRP.

For that reason, if I brick my device, only I have bricked it and all other users are not mislead.......giggles.

I have found that Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is a 7 inch 600 x 1024 pixels and someone has kindly uploaded TWRP 2.8.4.0 for it at the TWRP site. So fingers crossed I can port that correctly. Later, if device is still alive, I can mod our boot image to correct specs.

cheers and thanks for reading

Based on my daughters' claim (which is the main user of the tablet) I moved from STOCK P5110 to OmniROM, but unfortunately the cam application is FAR AWAY from the samsung stock camera.. And in fact, my daugther miss a lot the stock cam...

Does anybody have the stock samsung cam for 5110?

Should It work on a NON STOCK rom? (in my case Omni KK)

I believe I have bricked my phone. I installed a custom Rom and something went wrong. In the process of frying to fix it, I believe I bricked it by deleting a partition that shouldn't have been touched. It installs the is fine, but I don't get ANY service. It's just empty bars. Is there a way to re flash that partition or rebuild the phone from scratch? I can get into recovery to flash.

Ther isn't a huge hurry. I am happy with my LG G2, but would like to get this phone up and running if possible.

Welll... you need to learn Java language because all Android games and apps are written in Java, then visit http://developer.android.com for Tools, Kits, trainings and much more....

If you want to write your apps and games in C, C++ rather than java, you can use Android NDK.

You can learn these language in webpages and downloadable pdfs.

The most important thing you need to do in order to learn these languages are patience and very hardwork + much effort.

You must be working on them everyday and also you can't really learn any programming language in weeks, you will only know the basics of them in several months or year (Depends on your knowledge and hardwork).

Hi,

I'm trying to help a friend who has a Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P5100 3G 10.1

Her tablet is having some software issues, so I looked in Sammobile and found out that the firmware from her country (Egypt) is only 4.0.4

and for the same tablet in the UK section is 4.2.2

So, my question is, if I install for her a software which is meant for another country, is that gonna be a problem?

If the tablet was 4G, then installing the UK version would be bad idea because the 4G won't work, but it's 3G only as I mentioned.

I also know from my S4 that kitkat comes with special security software + knox of course (I think so!), so downgrading is out of the question, so I don't want to do wrong by her.

The tab is not rooted

Thanks guys for the input!
