[General Questions and Answers] albo23:
So I plugged in a cheap Micro USB charger I bought into two Androind phones that I have and I think it may have blown them out. The phones would not function with the charger at all so I threw the charger out.

However, I then tried those phones with the other chargers I have and they seemingly stopped working with them as well! I knew these chargers worked because I have had them for months.

Is it possible that I could have messed up two phones just by plugging them into a shady Micro USB charger? These phones now refuse to charge whatsoever with any of the chargers I have.

maybe you have messed up with the charging port and now they need to be changed

I can't find any info on whether or not it's imperative , or possible to back up efs on this device. I typically always back them up when I am rooted bc it's my biggest fear in somehow getting corrupted or lost, and not having anyway to restore. There doesn't seem to be a topic anywhere on These boards (DNA) so I'm thinking it's either impossible to lose or very easy to restore lol. Anyone know for Sure ?

Update

You can use any wallpaper you want but it shows as black, some skewed icons in app drawer bottom row. No other issues on Moto Z.

Good news: The folder bug does not exists for the Z!

I cannot find a more satisfying launcher in spite of its "no folder" bug.

The TSF was too much of a Hog.

I have moved on to TSF Shell. It has all the features of Xperia & more. Worth the price too.

If you create a folder it will not last. While the workaround fixes the loss of icons. Lossed folders are also a consequence of the initial bug.

In fact may be the cause of the bug.

Therefore folder creation is not allowed on any homescreen! !

Those on launcher pro plus OR nova launcher can put the xperia app drawer in place of the stock app drawer. Xperia drawer button in center, Nova button on right.

Xperia drawer

On the msm8960's, which includes the x, the launcher is marred by the Bootup condition where (sometimes) homepage icons/shortcuts are missing. A launcher/settings > restart launcher is a fix.

Dev is no longer supporting this launcher http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2103403

[General Questions and Answers] angrod990:
So I got a new SD Card, a 16 GB one, I bought this one to replace my old, junky, 4 GB card.

Well so of course, I made a backup of the old one and then I just pasted the files on the 16 GB ones, everything, music, images, etc.

Well then I tried to open my pictures, but it said I had none and I checked the apps and some had the SD Sign (meaning they're on the sd, but it's weird since my model has something like a internal storage, a storage just named "SD Card" (in this one every app goes in there), and a final one named External SD Card (which is the one im talking about here)), then I tried checking if it had any data into it but it still said I had 16 GB free of 16 GB even though there was like 2.3 GBs used. Well, then I checked the old SD's storage, it had 2.80 free or something like that (the same space it had before I even deleted the files), then I just copied the files to the old one again and everythings working again fine. But I really need the 16 GB one to add some more stuff. Does anyone know what does this mean?

So yeah. Installed the FreeGee beta which supposedly supports KitKat. It installed TWRP and it works...but now if I try booting into the actual OS, I get stuck at the LG logo (not the animated one).

"Alright," I said, annoyed. "I'll have to just use download mode and go back to 4.2.2 and start over."

Except download mode doesn't work. It gets stuck on the Download Mode splash screen but doesn't go any further...

What should I do? :/

TWRP - working

OS - not working

Download mode - not working
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
Well if you have adb setup you can try pushing a 4.2 Rom plus jb baseband to see if you can boot that way

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowlin:
I believe you were supposed to flash a patched kernel for kk after installing the recovery.

if you can push it to your phone and flash it in recovery it might boot correctly. i could be wrong though
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mKTank:
No idea how to push it to the phone. ADB sideload doesn't work, just says "starting" but doesn't actually progress.

EDIT: Alright I fixed the sideload. It works now! Any guidance as to what kernel files I need to flash? Sorry for being so terrible at this.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowlin:
do you have any backups you can restore to?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mKTank:
Nope, cause I just installed the recovery from scratch so...never really had the chance to do a backup before things went downhill.

In other news, I fixed my sideload so now it's working. Any guidance as to what kernel I need to flash? Sorry for being so terrible at this.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowlin:
Here's a link to the patched kk kernels - download the one for your variant : http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=12894 [taken from thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2680948]

im not completely sure it will work but if i remember correctly you need this patched kernel (or any other patched kk kernel) for everything to work correctly (kk + root + recovery)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mKTank:
Hey man, thanks for sticking with me and giving me all the recommendations. I managed to sideload the latest Mahdi ROM along with my variant's kernel. Currently doing first boot but it's taking a while...

BOOTED! Now attempting Download Mode.

Alright, download mode is still broken. I can boot in and everything but no Download Mode. This is a weird issue.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowlin:
no worries, i was really stoked when i got everything working so i kinda remember the process

not sure about mahdi rom since i dont think its based on the official kk source for this phone

you should only need a patched kernel if you are using a stock kk rom or the g pro 2 ports with a custom recovery
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mKTank:
Yeah I meant the patch that is supplied with Mahdi.

So the issue now has evolved to: I have TWRP, I can boot in just fine, and everything works fine..except download mode is broken. I don't even know where to start on how to fix that. Any ideas? Cause if it's stuck this way, I'm gonna have to be really damn careful with how I use this phone from now on.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowlin:
Unfortunately idk **** about fixing download mode lol.

Maybe try flashing a stock kdz and starting the root + recovery process over
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mKTank:
Need download mode to flash KDZs, no?

Ah crap you're right.

Aside: I do have the stock aboot.img file...would flashing it fix this?

Its worth a shot I guess. Do a Backup then try flashing the aboot and then the patched kernel again. If it comes down to it haha
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mKTank:
Again sorry for being super crap at this, but how exactly do I flash the .img? I noticed in the freegee folder there's a "revert aboot" zip but it fails to flash (some binary installer issue), even with using 2.6.3.4 which should fix installer issues.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowlin:
You probably have to push it somewhere via adb. Im pretty crap at this stuff too so don't worry.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] asishtheprince:
Hello guys I am here today to give a possible aspect to get rid of laggyness caused by severe RAM usage by our "Left-Behind" phone S5830i.

First of all I'd like to mention the script by Hitesh2626...It helped me a lot to remove unwanted applications from my stock rom. But then after I saw I still was having lags though I had all small apps unlike Messenger and Whatsapp. And the reason was "Google Play Services" which took 39 mb of my RAM though all google services were unchecked by me.I know many people having the same problem.Then here's the solution:

Just go to play store and download "Disable Services" and give root rights

now open it and from the list select google play services

u'll see 99 services there -_-

just deselect the running ones(those will be in blue fonts) just like:gcmservices or nlplocationservice

Here you go...after deleselcting they'll become red and they'll never run anymore but still u'll be able to use other google play services without uninstalling it.

I am new to the xda so help me giving thanks ....IF MY HELP REALLY HELPED YOU ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] nikunj.baheti@gmail.com:
bro i seriously dont think that stopping such background apps would do any good but rather they would restart and then cause lagg again instead if you want more ram install a cm7 based slim rom and have more ram...

Bro I'm not stopping them...I'm blocking them.They'll never run before I unblock them.It's been 8 days my phone is constantly running with Whatsapp,Facebook,Facebook messenger,go battery saver and hike...no lags at all bro....Stock Rom on Stock kernel....u shud try this to stop Google play services

Thank me plz ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] amolgosavi:
U can freeze apps from link2sd and titanium backup also...
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Powerhouse:

1) Remove all bloatware

2) Remove all ringtone's and whatever tone's ...leave only ringtone .

3) Delete all battery.qmg in media folder and also delete spamsung's bootanimation .

4) flash a custom kernel

5) flash Adrenaline engine and cosmic engine

Feel the smoothness ..and yeah .! question should be asked in Q&A not in general section. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Android-fany:
I wouldn't recommend you stopping any of the GPlay Services. They are there for some reason. And the reason GPlay Services is using much RAM is that other apps use these services. So if you disable them some apps will not work as expected.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] sega17:
Then how cm 7 or other cm roms dosen't require G-apps install for their working???
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] asishtheprince:
Though we need it but some people like me does not need the location service at all. Then why petting it eat my memory? That's why I'm suggesting to disable them. Nthng else.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Hesham Sleem:
thank you.....i will try it

but i ask if you can upload "Disable Services" for me because i cannot access internet from my mobile:p
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Android-fany:
Because you can still run apps without GApps? Android does still work without GApps.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Deleted member 5617821:
Bro, Google Play Services not only provides location services but also updates Google apps and apps from Google Play, provides core functionalities like authentication to your Google services, synchronised contacts and access to all the latest user privacy settings, speeds up offline searches, provides more immersive maps and improves gaming experiences.. So I completely agree with [MENTION=4949642]Android-fany[/MENTION] on the fact that disabling them can make certain Google apps crash or not work as expected. You might be able to save your battery life but at the cost of some core apps.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] asishtheprince:
Bro I am not saying to disable the whole google play services. just some particular services among the 110 services google play provides.Now it is 389th hour my ace-i is going without a single lag with lots of ram eating apps.First of all try what I'm saying then post here...
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] asishtheprince:
Andvone more thing....everything is running like butter...no crashes...no fc on any app or game.Just have a try bro.Hit thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Deleted member 5617821:
Frankly, I have very low ram consumption on my Stock rom even with Google Play Services turned on. So I don't think there is any need for me to disable it considering how often I use these services. BTW this will surely affect those people who needs to use location services, Google play gaming platform, etc. But then again, you can always enable these services when you need them. I'm glad to hear everything works smooth. You know you learn something new everyday :)

what i would like to know that other Pockect pc hp,bell ect use similar software application if so how can i use them,what are the parameter i should see to use before i download and apply so that they can be used by me.i would not like to be locked up and not be able to nothing about it.

so before i can try i would be much OBLIGED if you can brief me as to what critera i should adhere to.

it would be of great help to me

thanks
[General Topics] levenum:
Hi rmelco1!

First, welcome to the forum!

Now a couple of basic terms:

CAB - a file which contains a program installation and can be run on the device by clicking it from file explorer. Usually apps will come with desktop installer that will transfer the cab automatically.

ARM - The standard of the processor. Once there were others (MIPS, SHA) but today only ARM is left, so any app from recent years would likely to have only ARM version.

Now here is what you need to check for compatibility:

1) That the app is for ARM processor.

2) That it is for Windows Mobile 2003SE or earlier. (WM 2002 apps will run on your device, but WM5 apps won't)

3) How much storage and program memory the app requires. You can go to Start->Setting->System->Memory to see how much you have.

4) Processor speed. Some apps like Skype are dependent on high processor speeds and if I am not mistaken your device has 195MHz processor. It will run the 'slow' Skype version though.

Well that's about it.

Good luck.

Here are a couple more tips for you:

1) You should put your device type and ROM version in your signature (see this post for example). That way when you have a question you won't have to retype the info.

2) Check out the Magician forum, you'll find a lot of stuff specific to your device, and of course there is a link to the wiki on the main page.

3) Note that when you click on the X you don't actually close the app, but minimize it. I suspect that is why your device becomes slow after a while (memory is all used up). To really close the program go to Start->Settings->System-Memory->Running programs. You can also get a program like SK Menu or MagicButton that let you close apps directly.

And finally check out this site: www.pocketpcfreeware.com
