[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Save the backup folder to your PC as described in the guide. Then use SDFormatter (free on the web) to format the card back to its normal size. Then if you need another bootable card in the future make a new one from a smaller SD. You can transfer the backup data to that new SD in the future if you need to.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B23X:
Thanks

Thanks for the response. I knew that I could reformat the card, but I was worried about doing that because your very helpful guide says, "However, you should keep the bootable CWM sdcard stored away somewhere in case the Nook ever fails to boot. You can reformat the bootable SD to use as a normal SD, but that is not recommended."

Is there any reason you recommend keeping the sd card in the bootable state versus saving the backup on your computer and then making a new bootable card as needed?

And just to make sure I'm getting this right, you mean I can make a baseline backup (separate from the stock rom backup) and save it on my computer and use that to make a bootable card? Sorry if I'm getting this confused.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
No, you do not quite have it right.

I'm saying not to keep that 64GB as your bootable SD. I'm saying save the stock backup files you made to your PC. You can make a new smaller bootable SD per the original instructions and transfer the stock backup files from your PC to that new SD. Save that one instead of wasting that big 64GB card.

I say save it instead of making a new one later as the new one later may not boot properly (these things are finicky) and the original one you know worked.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B23X:
Ok I got it now thanks for the help.

is it possible to dualboot kitkat and fire os on the 7" Kindle Fire HD, if so how would i go about doing so?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
No it's not, the os's are too different. You could keep a backup of fire os on the device and restore to switch between the two though.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Janick83:
Hi all,

I messed up my systemUI.apk while trying to modify locksettings.db in order to disable the need for pin by having VPN set up. Anyways, now when I boot my phone, systemUI is crashing and then stuck in a loop, screen is not lighting up once switched off. I still can enter recovery, so my plan is to adb push a virgin systemUI.apk to avoid a factory reset. Could anyone please extract systemUI.apk from stock 4.4.3 installation and post it?

Update: Meanwhile after hours of googling i found how to extract the apk from oth update. Unfortunately I do not find the location of the broken systemui.apk, also google only gives results not valid for Nexus 5 4.4.3. Anyone knows where the file is stored on my phone?

Update 2: After giving up and trying to sleep, one last idea came to my mind, which finally worked out. Here is my solution if someone has a similar issue in future: Just delete all locksettings.db from /system/data/, seems like the system will create a new default one.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rauvagol:
So I am brand new to custom android roms and whatnot, and am using Carbon (for the record, completely love it), I have almost everything set up to use a medium-dark green theme, but some of the system icons (most notably the ones in quicksettings menu) stay white, even with every option set to use the hex code #ff006600 or #006600, is there any way to change that?

Also I am looking for a way to stop the volume off icon from appearing at the top right, as I almost always have my N7 muted.

TLDR: How can I change the first image to the second (but less terribly edited)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naney:
Hello everybody.

I searched a lot but could not find.

Anybody knows how to delete lib folder from an apk?

I saw working apps in this manner. Tried things, but no way for me.

I want to convert whatsapp (or some others) to system app.

I decompiled app, removed lib, compiled app, pushed app to /system/app and lib (.so files) to /system/lib. Does not work.

I removed lib, decompiled app, compiled app, pushed app to /system/app and lib (.so files) to /system/lib. Does not work.

I moved app to /system/app and copied lib (.so files) to /system/lib and delete lib from apk. Does not work.

If lib folder in apk is intact, it works good, but after deleting lib folder from apk, I went to bootloop.

So do not tell me use titanium backup or other apps.

Or do not advise copying apk's lib folder to /system/lib.

Or deleting lib folder of app from /data.../lib after installing app.

Answer if you know how to remove lib folder properly from apk.

And please do not quote all of the op.

Regards.

[Nexus 4 General] playya:
Just a question I am not an img flasher generally but is all that you guys worry about and go through worth it. I would assume just root and flashing a stock rooted 4.4.4 rom would be easier. I also have not updated my bootloader since 4.4.2 and have not seen any issues. Not flaming or anything just trying to understand why having the latest and going through such measures is worth it....

Happy flashing to you guys and I guess we all have our own lil obsessions... :D

If it works for you I hear ya. Reception differs in my opinion and new is not always better. I hear you though glad the update helped your reception
[Nexus 4 General] cpanos:
well, on a nexus device flashing anything is pretty straight forward, so its not that big of an overhead, whether its an img, a new radio/bootloader, or a custom rom. Everything is one command away.

[Nexus 4 General] marcelin99:
I updated from 4.4.3 rooted to 4.4.4 with OTA about a week ago.

Everything worked well.

I didn't reload CW Touch Recovery!

Yesterday I changed in "Developer options" from Dalvik to ART.

Device went through a large number of optimisations, but at the end my device is stuck in bootloop (4 circles).

I can go in fastboot mode but no recovery available !!

What should I do to recover my Nexus4?

Thanks.

Remark 1: SkipSoft Android Toolkit doesn't offer fastboot mode anymore, only adb !

Remark 2: I did the same change from Dalvik to ART on 2 other devices at the same time without any issue: Nexus4 unrooted running 4.4.3 and a Nexus7 2012 wifi rooted running 4.4.3.

i have net from the wifi only!

Thanks for the reply! After struggling with my network connection I found out that my data plan has ended... I have purchased another pack of 1gb and the data connection came back as normal... I'm feeling embarrassed right now... But, I was nervous cose I bought this phone in the US and if it needs repair I have to go again to the states and send this phone for repairing. For some people it's no big deal but for me it is. I live in Europe and the airfares from my Island to CA are very expensive. However, this time it wasn't the case. But because of this issue I have changed my Franco's kernel to Hellscore kernel and I'm impressed!

Hi everyone!

This is my first XDA post. I need help with my Kindle fire HD 7'

I Soft bricked it while trying to root it. What is happening is that i can turn it on, but only the Kindle Fire logo comes up,

the after about 5 second, the logo goes away for a split second and then comes back but this time with the "Fire" part of the logo in cyan.

After this point it just stays in this position basically forever until you hold the power button. I have the factory wire for a fastboot, but the issue is that my PC wont recognize my kindle fire whatsoever. I know I have the correct drivers installed, but no matter what i do my PC wont recognize my

Kindle.

Please Help!!

Tl;dr 1) My Kindle Fire HD 7' is semi bricked

2) I can put it in boot camp mode due to the factory wire

3) No matter what I tried My PC wont recognize the device
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
Ummm... if you were trying to root the device,how in the world did you install the 2nd bootloader? And as for the driver issues,try using Ubuntu instead of Windows. It WILL recognize the device. [MENTION=5112866]stunts513[/MENTION] please see if you can help this fellow out.

Ah thanks for the mention, I'm less active now that I got a job but since I'm off on weekends I try to keep up with posts at that time.

The rom is running great. YouTube works now.

Only few cosmetic issues* on pollux_windy... otherwise fantastic!

*Boot logo has a thin animated colored bar to the top right of the screen

*When pressing recents (horizontally) the navbar is 100% transparent but the rest of the screen has less (50%??) transparency, would be better (IMO) with the same transparency as in portrait mode.

I'm currently looking for an alternative ROM for my Xperia Tablet Z (pollux_windy) with a better-looking Pie menu than the one delivered with the CM. I just installed both RC1 and RC2 version of this ROM to try out but I could not turn on Pie since “Expanded Desktop Mode” is not shown under the Power menu options. Am I doing something wrong? What is missing?

Also for the bug tracking:

--------------------------------------------------------

Settings > Buttons => Causes “Force Close”

I couldn’t get GPS to find my locations so far. I didn’t try too hard though. I gave up quickly because if Pie doesn’t work at all I won’t be using this ROM for now.

--------------------------------------------------------

Any idea why “Expanded Desktop Mode” is not available? Is this a known bug?
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] DooshPastesh:
It is in quick settings tiles. When switched first time you will be asked how to use it.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] LeBoy:
I got it. It's under the toggles menu and its called "Immersive Mode"

I'll test GPS again more carefully :)

Feedback on 4.4-RC2 (pollux_windy):

I’ve been using this ROM for a while now and I’d like to share with you my overall impressions so far.

PROS:

- Super stable! Not a single crash or hang so far! Kudos, kudos, kudos!

- PIE Controls :)

- Reboot into Recovery :)

- Adjust brightness on status bar :)

- Volume boost! Audio output is much louder than in any ROM I tried before :)

- Good theming options.

- Clean settings options.

CONS:

- I suspect that this ROM is somehow more resources hungry than usual. When playing HD content, no matter with which player – YouTube, MX Player or XBMC, the playback skips slightly and randomly; and jumping for- and backwards causes serious skipping. I never had this problem with this device with any other ROM before :(

- GPS: Works only works under “certain conditions.” I need to have WiFi connection and if I had Locations previously turned off I’d also need a reboot after enabling it so that I get the “Google Consent” prompted and click “Agree”. I didn’t figured it out how to avoid this.

- Volume rocker doesn’t invert when using the device upside-down. Anyone knows how to enable that?

- Settings > Buttons: FC all the time and options are unavailable.

- PIE Control: Background corner links always launch the Google web site. I don’t use Google and I’d like to disable or change that. Any ideas?

- Settings > Remix Settings: Sub-menu options are invisible sometimes. You’d need to change tabs a couple of times to make they show again.
