Hello please forgive me if these questions have been answered but I'm kinda lost if my root is good or if i need to change some settings

Sprint Note 3 4.4.2

I used chainfire cf-root followed the instructions its working fine.

Installed TWRP tested boot recovery it works

Installed ROM Toolbox Pro

Titanum Backup Pro

Installed Busybox installer

My questions/concerns as I'm confused on how this will work i don't want to lost my data by mistake

When i create a backup using TWRP it seems to be saved on internal phone not my SD card, using root explorer everything is under /storage/emulated/0 and /storage/sdcard0 not extSDCard is that ok or do i need to ensure everything is saved to my SD card?

I would like to flash a ROM from freeza, but from reading it says to back up before flashing the ROM and to do wipe, tick dalvik and cache partition then flash the ROM, since i see my backup is on internal phone if i do this will i be wiping all my data and backups or just certain files that are tied to the ROM?

Once i flash a ROM all my programs and personal data will still be there?

If i want to switch ROM's I need to do the wipe, tick dalvik and cache partition Flash ROM all my personal data still there as well?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
In general, when flashing a rom, you'll wipe system and data, but not the contents of your internal memory.

Thus you'll not lose your backup or your stuff (pictures, etc).

But your settings, apps, launcher setup, WiFi passwords, bluetooth pairings, email accounts, everything will be gone, and you'll have to set those up the way you like. Again. Plan on it.

The above assumes that you're on TouchWiz KitKat, which from what you've written, I'm unclear.

If you're on an AOSP rom, the steps are different.

Can you show us your about phone?

All i have done so far is the autoroot and install the programs above and created a backup from TWRP and Titanium I have my personal stuff backup as well on my pc so apps and photo im ok to lose. I have noticed my mail client default for exchange is acting up and failing today as my gmail account not syncing properly after this root...

software version N900PVPUCNAB

model number: SM-N900P

andriod version 4.42

Baseband N900PVPUCNAB

Kernal 3.4.0-533717 dpi@SWDD5703#1

SE for andriod status: Enforcing SEPF_SM-N900P_4.4.2_0009
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
OK, got it. Definitely on stock TouchWiz KitKat.

At this point, I'd highly recommend carefully looking at the roms on the dev forum, give thanks to all, choose what's right for you. Read the OP, ask questions here before you flash, there after you've read and experienced a bit, and you'll be fine.

I highly recommend not using Titanium Backup for any restoring of anything but xml files of call logs, SMS, &c.

For all other things, just a fresh install is the wisest route.

Good luck!

Hi guys! I just wanted to ask, is it a good thing if my custom binary download is 0 or not? I bought my phone already rooted (2nd hand), and i must have flashed like a dozen custom roms since. But when i checked the binary counter, it says no, and from what i read that means 0 (right?). Is that good or bad? Is something wrong with my phone?

By the way, I didn't use triangle away. I can't seem to make it work on my phone, something about a fatal error and that it can't download some data.
[General Questions and Answers] eatsleep:
It is perfectly normal. Just flash a custom thing with odin and you'll see the counter trip......

It would be easy for you to sell or send it for service as you only need to flash a official firmware and no one would really know that you were rooted before....

Just one thing, the old devices (with the old bootloaders) do not trip the flash counter on a custom kernel or recovery but on the new bootloader (the jelly bean one) you'll see it trip to 1 every time you boot your phone with something unofficial on it.....

I have a QTEK 9100 upgraded with the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM but I still cannot activate.

I can see the OEMInfo.xml file and it appears to be the same as attached here.

I therefore assume I need a new version but the problem is the file appears to be read-only i.e. I think it's in ROM

Any ideas how I can update/modify the file?

Activation in WM6

Just a note to say that there is also a problem activating Microsoft Reader when WM6 is installed (I have a variant of the Faria ROM).

If you follow the instructions above, then go to the activation page at microsoft as before you can activate.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Junner2003:
I am not sure what you people try but to activate Microsoft Reader you only have to login and click ACTIVATE my Pocket Computer.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eayuwna:
Thanks

There is a problem with some versions of MS Reader that prevents the "Activate" button from working on the MS site.

This isn't a crack to make Reader think it's activated, it's a file that should be included in the install and isn't (sometimes).

If you google for the file oeminfo.xml you should find what 'us people' are on about. It took me about two days of serious thread reading to work out how to fix the problem in the first place, hence why I posted a summary here. Since only two people have replied to this thread in over a year I'd say it's not a common problem, but it is an annoying one (or people don't use reader).

I'd be interested to know:

What device do you have?

What OS do you have?

What version of IE to you have?

What Desktop OS do you have?

Also, what are the files you've uploaded? Do they activate reader in a false name? Will properly purchased and DRM protected ebooks work with them?

cannot open premium ebooks

hi,

I noticed that this thread had some detailed solutions for MSReader, and I hope somebody can help me with my problem. ;)

I seem to be having a MSreader problem. I cannot open any ebooks that I've ordered online on my handheld pocketpc. Let me sum it up:

Device: HTC TyTn

OS: WM6 (official release)

Ok, I have the latest versions of MSReader for both my desktop pc (2.5..) and my ppc (2.4.1 build blabla). Both have been successfully Activated. I can open the ebooks on my desktop pc. But when I try to open them on the handheld, MSReader just crashes, no error messages, nothing.

I have been trying to figure this problem out for about 2 weeks now, and nowhere have I found a solution. MS doesn't have support for this, and I'm beginning to feel as if I am the only one with this problem.

I've reinstalled and reactivated MSReader for my pocketpc many many times, to no avail. Installation and Activation both have no problems, yet I still can't open premium ebooks. I've also copied the ebooks to the pcc's main memory, but that didn't help either.

I've run out of ideas. Would greatly appreciate any help! :)

Thanks :)

And another, Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Avatar28:
Um, I know it won't help with stuff in .LIT format, but I'm rather partial to the mobipocket reader myself. For one, MS Reader is limited to a handful of activations EVER. If you go over that, you have to get a new .NET account and presumably none of your old ebooks will work with the new one. If you flash your device and have to reactivate, that counts as another of your activations. Need to do a hard reset, guess what, that's another activation. Mobipocket reader, on the other hand, will let you deactivate some of your old devices as far as I've been able to determine.

As far as your books go, have you been able to open them on your desktop? Also was your PPC activated using the same .NET passport account that the books were purchased with (see my note above about the limited number of activations). If it wasn't, you won't be able to activate them. In that case, I would recommend that you look into some DRM removal software for them. Of course, if you are in the United States then removing the DRM on the ebooks that you purchased makes you nothing but a petty criminal thanks to the DMCA. But if you can live with the guilt then that's the route I'd take. Here's a couple of places to get you started. Link 1 Link 2 There may be others, YMMV.

Can't copy oeminfo.xml onto windows mobile directory

Hi there

I did follow these instructions, but I can't copy the oeminfo.xml file to the mobile windows directory because the OS says it's protected. Can't unprotect from Windows, and couldn't do it from PDA either. Got any ideas? :confused:

oeminfo for ipaq hx2490

I have the same problem.

tried the oeminfo file posted here- does not work with my ipaq. When I read the content it does not match my machine.

I tried msreadergirl a week ago and have had no reply (can't blame her, I'd be feeling sick after two years of this....) Can anyone send the right file please?

I have the latest version of MSreaderppc downloaded last week from the MS website. The ipaq is a repaired machine now with hx2490 board and running Windows CE 5.

I have XP with all service packs and IE6 on my laptop

I also have about 40 DRM protected books in msreader format that I can no longer read on my machine.......

thanks in advance

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] joemanb:
I went through all this crap to activate my MSReader.. took me 2 emails to Christine before I got it to work, then I started cooking my own roms, doing hard resets, etc. and said "to hell with msreader, it's not worth the hassle" and it isn't. Quit buying DRM protected works...quit supporting this evil scheme. It's absolutely ridiculous the hoops you have to jump through to use something that you've paid for. Does MS support anything they release? Not as far as I see. The rich keep getting richer and we keep getting screwed. Instead of buying DRMed lit files, donate to project Gutenberg and read some old classics...

Of all the EBook formats out there, LIT files are the worst.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eayuwna:
Indeed...

I have to say I am also getting sick of everything. It seems nothing actually works anymore except devices I don't want. I actually found myself impressed with my mates i-Phone the other day becuase it actually works. He loaded google maps and was poncing about so I did too. His worked, mine crashed.

If only I wasn't into .Net, push email, exchange servers etc and only wanted to do what Apple/TV tell me I want to do then I could have an i-Phone too... and I could start wearing a scarf...and a Harris Tweed coat with Winklepickers, but alas, I am a free spirit with my own mind, some pride and no dress-sense [sigh].

I'm sorry that you can't get MS Reader to work. I've stopped bothering now as I think Microsoft have. It seems stupid though since you can still buy MS Reader format books from big retailers like WH Smith and it's not really that bad a format. I certainly used to enjoy having a large library of classics with me whenever I went anywhere at short notice.

Anyway, just offically posting that I can't be arsed with reader any more. After two years of having to spend a few weeks fixing the bloody thing every time I buy a new phone I have given up.

(P.S> If anyone gets it to work on an MDA Vario III please post the instrucitions here in case I get tempted).

Try copying to device root first and then from device us your explorer and copy to windows. It will say that file is in ROM and give you a warning. This will allow the file to be overwritten, but may not solve you problem with protected ebooks.

It seems there are serious issues with WM6 and msreader. I had been able to get it to work depending on the ROM and which version of msreader I use.

You may want to find your old backup file and extract it from there, There is a file called secrep.cab if you can find it and install it. That's the file that installs the secure components to your device with you account info. You must use you own secrep.cab file as it is unique to your own MS account.

I hope this is helpful to you and that it may prompt more dialog allowing someone smarter than I to figure out how to get this working consistently.

Right now I can't access my protected ebooks-even though my msreader is activated. This is a really bad implementation by MS.

There are some programs that allow you to extract msreader files-even the protected ones and convert them to html and other formats. I have done this, but I wish the msreader worked because I actually like it when it works.

Er....how?

OK, so I found this thread because MS Reader wasn't activating on my Kaiser.

I was unable to find a link to OEMINFO.xml so went looking for a later version of MS Reader just in case Microsoft had fixed the issue.

Downloaded version 2.41 from http://www.microsoft.com/reader/downloads/ppc.aspx

Followed the instructions, tried to activate to no avail.

Tried again. Still no joy.

Went browsing for more help. Not, as they say round my neck of the woods, a dicky.

On a whim, tried activating again and bingo! It worked! secrep.cab was sent to my device and installed and, on opening MS Reader, all works fine! Activation complete.

[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi all!

I wasn't satisfied with any of the current methods of accessing all apps/contacts so I set out to create my own.

I present to you, Snype.

Snype has a unique dual-index system where switching between "snyping" apps and contacts is almost instant. It has changed the way I use my device and has done the same for many of my beta testers.

It also has a unique "side panel" mode where apps and contacts can be accessed simply by scrolling a finger up or down the edge of the display, which is always active no matter which app you are currently in. A list will appear and automatically begin scrolling to the location in the index that the finger is pointing to.

Snype does not try to replace your launcher. In fact, I designed it so that I would be able to use any launcher I like and not have to worry about the launcher's implementation of the app drawer. This means it's very easy to have a completely uncluttered, beautiful home screen and still be only a second away from accessing any app or contact you desire.

There are no ads and all functionality is available for free. The premium upgrade allows full customisation of the appearance of the lists.

Let me know how it goes for you!
[Android Apps and Games] :
I should mention that the premium upgrade is available for $0.99 for a short period of time to celebrate the launch of Snype. It will be a bit more later.
[Android Apps and Games] kiwiio:
I love your app Sleep Ambience!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hey thanks Kiwiio!

Haha, I certainly didn't expect many people here would be using my other app.

I hope you like this one too!
[Android Apps and Games] kiwiio:
I will test it and come back to you with feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Thanks. That would be appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] kiwiio:
Really good app. I will give you 5 stars!

Some things to change:

- Add more languages

- if possible the alphabet lists have a title to know that one it is for apps, and the other for contacts.

- A widget and a direct access from home.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Thanks for the excellent feedback.

More languages is actually a surprisingly large challenge due to the indexes. It is something that I might look into again later, but when I was having a crack at it before there were some significant technical hurdles.

I have thought about doing something to let you know at a glance which is for apps and which is for contacts... like different colours or something. I'm not sure. Where do you think the title should go? There's not much room there.

I also looked into doing a widget. Unfortunately widgets don't support all kinds of views so making a widget with this functionality is impossible unless the launcher is built specifically for it. That's actually the main reason I implemented the side panels, because I knew the widget would not be possible.
[Android Apps and Games] :
ability to launch apps in halo would be nice. And maybe icon theme support. Very nice and useful app by the way:good:
[Android Apps and Games] :
Thanks for the ideas :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
I just released an update to fix some crashes in the initial release.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I just released an update which added animation to the side panels, adds Snype to the list of apps and fixes some bugs. I'm still trying to hunt down some bugs that occur only on some devices. Let me know if you have one of those devices please. :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Okay, I think I've got all the known bugs fixed. Let me know if there's anything else wonky.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Just released an update with a new feature: favourites bar.

Now it's even faster to access those special few apps and contacts you use most often.
[Android Apps and Games] cities516:
I love the ability to search contracts easily! And light theme looks cool.

Thank you! I'm really liking it so far.

Very good idea. I'm thinking about replacing my app drawer with this app. Unfortunately the fly in and out animations are somewhat jerky (using a Note 3).
