[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiamFlannery:
Hello everyone, I recently installed philZ cwm touch recovery and did backups and all that good stuff and I think Im ready to install cyanogenmod.

And before you ask, I cant use the cyanogenmod installer as it crashes every time I try to use it. I am going to try to flash cm10.1.3-i9100 which is the latest stable release, using cwm and not odin (I dont trust my usb cable). I was wondering since philz touch is just a stock kernal, do I need to flash a different one? I am running the original stock rom (jb 4.1.2) and have downloaded the cm10.1.x / android 4.2.2 google apps. I am just wondering if these are all the right files for my i9100? I thought it would be better to be safe, then coming back to the forums crying about how i messed it up (which I still might do if it does go bad) so thanks to all you smart people for helping in advance -Liam
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheImpossibleEnemy:
Just flash it through Philz's recovery and that's all.Don't forget to do a nandroid backup.

Just in case;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiamFlannery:
Iv done 2 backups (one on the external, one on the internal just to be sure) but I was wondering if I have all the right files, like if my kernal is good to go, whether the google apps are the right ones (although I'm pretty sure they're the right ones for cm10.1.3) and whether or not I am forgetting something, thanks. Sorry if I wasn't clear in my post, like I said I just want to be sure :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheImpossibleEnemy:
Kernel is not important in this case.All you need is a proper recovery,which you already have.Just make sure the rom is for i9100,+compatible gapps and that's pretty much all.Don't forget to do all needed wipes and make a backup of your EFS in Philz's CWM before flashing.

Enjoy

[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
Hey guys.

There has been something really annoying me lately. It's the .thumbdata3 file in /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/.thumbnail. Its always like a 200 mb + file and it just takes up wayy too much space on my internal storage. So is there anyway to permanently remove this file for good? Like somehow prevent it from forming again? By the way, i already have the latest albums app so that didn't fix the problem.
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
The only way I know about is deleting the folder .thumbnail and then creating an empty file named .thumbnail (this will prevent the folder being created again). However, be adivised that Album app may get laggy since it'll regenerate the thumbnails every time you open the app or use the photo widget. If you have a lot of them, your phone also may get hot and the battery will go quickly if you keep opening album app various times...

Furthermore, it's hard to know the real size of that file. Yes, it holds some space in internal memory, but it's definitely not the size shown. In my phone, for example, this file show as 870 MB, but once I delete it I get only 50-60MB of space back...
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
That worked for like an hour. Afterwards when i checked again, i actually found two .thumbnail3 files instead of one. They were both the same size. Any idea why?
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
This trick works only for folders (e.g. if you created empty .thumbdata3 file inside /DCIM/.thumbnails/ it won't work, that file will be replaced next time you open Album app). You need to remove the entire .thumbnails folder from DCIM and then create an empty .thumbnails file in DCIM. Next time it'll try to create the folder again to store the thumbdata3 files but it'll fail because a file with the same name already exist, doing nothing then...

Another way is opening a terminal (or adb shell) and running these two lines of code as root:

chown 0:0 /data/media/0/DCIM/.thumbnails
chmod 0440 /data/media/0/DCIM/.thumbnails

That way this folder will be accessible only if Album app run with root access (which never occur)
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
I actually did both of the things you said above. And so far so good. Well done bro, you're amazing :D:D
[Sony Xperia M] bubimir13:
Can you please write full adb procedure for noobs please :D

I think this might be a very helpfull, since that problem exists in virtually all android 4.0+ devices and it is annoying as hell
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
It's simple. The first option is chown/chmod the .thumbnails folder but it may not work in all phones (however, it works fine in Xperia M). You have two ways to do that:

Using a computer:

1) Enable USB Debugging

2) Plug your USB cable (make sure you're in MTP mode)

3) Open adb shell from Terminal/Command Prompt and run the following commands:

su
rm -r /data/media/0/DCIM/.thumbnails
mkdir /data/media/0/DCIM/.thumbnails
chown 0:0 /data/media/0/DCIM/.thumbnails
chmod 0440 /data/media/0/DCIM/.thumbnails

Using only your phone:

1) Install Terminal Emulator app if you don't have it

2) Run the same commands:

su
rm -r /data/media/0/DCIM/.thumbnails
mkdir /data/media/0/DCIM/.thumbnails
chown 0:0 /data/media/0/DCIM/.thumbnails
chmod 0440 /data/media/0/DCIM/.thumbnails

If you get errors when running any of these commands, you should install busybox in your device and then try again. Also, as I said before, it may not work in all phones, and if that method failed, you can try the empty file method. In your phone, using a file manager of your preference, go inside DCIM folder and delete the entire .thumbnails folder. Then, create an empty file named .thumbnails and you're done. If this method also fails, your phone have a different filesystem layout (eg. doesn't have an emulated SD Card) and I don't know any method of archiving that in these devices.

Furthermore, be adivised that your gallery may get laggy since it'll regenerate the thumbnails every time you open the app or use a photo widget because you disabled thumbnail cache. If you have a lot of pictures, your phone also may get hot and the battery will drain faster, especially if you open your gallery frequently...

If you want to properly do that state your case and provide evidentiary support thereof.

The "fix" is to use HTC's stock email app.

The down side to that is you can't get Gmail push notification.

Sadly, the Dot View Case only works with HTC stock apps i.e. email, messenger, calendar etc.

I'm hoping that they update it to work with third party apps in the future.

Hello, can you please tell me how to turn off fast dormancy in cyanogen mod?

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] futurity:
Hi,

I got my Orange SPV M3100 on Friday and already i've noticed what i think is a hardware fault. Not a big fault and i totally love the phone (Skype over wifi an encrypted connection works perfectly), but i'm worried as the phone is only a day old.

The first few times i opened the slide out keyboard I thought i noticed a nice blue keybourd backlight come on. I say thought as i can't find any reference to it in the manual. However whatever i now do, i can't get it to come back on. I've installed a few applications, but i doubt they would have caused it to stop working.

I don't suppose anyone else out there could tell me under what situations the backlight should come on (or if one exists), so that i can test it, and if it doesn't come on, i can phone up and get a replacement sent out. Its not a big problem and i can still use the phone, but you don't expect hardware to die after only a day.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Neil

there's a small hole in the top right of the keyboard. This is a light sensor. So, if light's on your keyboar led will be off, and if it's dark your keyboar led will be on. :)

Thanks for the advice guys, but the keyboard still doesn't light up if i open an application that asks for text to be entered and then slide out the keyboard in the dark and then press a key.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] frustin:
seems I have the same problem. i'm on orange and the light was working now it doesn't.

EDIT: no i dont have a problem. I went into a dark dark room and then typed something and it worked. if i cover over the "light sensor" with my finger and press a button, it doesnt work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dvbit:
Indeed

Indeed I had a wrong interpretation of the function of the sensor:

The sensor works in the following way:

If it is dark AND there's a key pressed AND the setting in "Settings" is set to enable sensor THEN keyboard backlight is turned on if no light in evironment.

If the setting in "Settings" is set to enable sensor THEN keyboard backlight is turned on AS SOONS AS you press a key.

A little dumb from my point of view: if I slide the keyboard in the dark, is it to look at it in the obscurity? The simple sliding should turn it on by night.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christopherwoods:
I've noticed that the backlight on mine (Vario 2, it's a red backlight... urgh) doesn't come on all the time if it's dark or dusk-level, which is really annoying. Sometimes hitting the tab key brings it into life, but sometimes it just doesn't come on at all.

One of those 'temperamental', 'great idea in theory' designs methinks. :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lurker0:
I also found out that if the turning screen backlight off on inactivity is disabled, then every time I slide out the keyboard, its backlight is turned on.

I have a new Galaxy S3 SGH-I747 with 4.3 that I got from AT&T's insurance company to replace my old one. I can't access it from adb for more than about 30 seconds at a time before it exits the session. I loaded TWRP, but it can't mount any devices and won't see the SD card. I tried CF-auto-Root (and blew my warranty), but CF-auto-root can't root it and can't reload the stock recovery so I can't reset the phone.

Is there something new out there can so lock down a phone that you can't access any of it's functionality?

How do I bring it back to some normal state where TWRP or CF-auto-root will work if I can't install a zipped file from TWRP? Is there an Odin version of the recovery?

TWRP wasn't working for me since it couldn't mount ANYTHING the way the phone was working. I wasn't able to see any ZIP installs that were loaded. I also couldn't keep the phone But I did find the source of the problem and how to resolve it.

I reloaded the stock ROM and recovery using ODIN 3.07 and the TAR file from here: http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=52056692 (This TAR requires 3.07)

When I rebooted I had to set-up the phone as new and shortly thereafter saw a pop-up from Samsung asking if I wanted them to periodically check and protect my device from malicious software. I remember agreeing to this last time so I did again this time and had the same problem. I did a factory and data reset and then didn't agree to the option. After that it let saferoot through and I was able to root the phone.

Wish I'd known about this and saferoot earlier. I could have kept my warranty. :(
