TWRP is a custom recovery. It is used to make backups (sometimes referred as nand backup) , restore backups, install (flash) roms and a lot of other stuff. Check out this guide for how to get twrp: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2788632

[GUIDE] OnePlus One - How to Unlock Bootloader, Install Custom Recovery and Root
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
It depends on what you mean by back up your data. If you're looking to back up your apps and user data, then use titanium backup.

Twrp is only for backing up your rom. Yeah it can back up apps as well and u can restore them but titanium backup is the best when it comes to this. I suggest titanium back up pro so u can batch restore and backup without any worries.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
He's asking how to backup before rooting though, so Titanium is out of the question.

I used to be able to connect my small keyboard to my phones. But the pin dialog box used to be different. It would pop up a box where you would type a 4 digit number in it from the keyboard. Then the same number from the phone.

Now there is no place to input a pin. It's simply a dialog box with the pin showing. It says to type the pin from the keyboard and hit enter.

Question: is this a bluestack dialog box?

From a CM rom, the dialog box is the old style. But in sense roms it's the new style.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] john10001:
I just wondered what your favourite ROM is for Defy?

I am on CM7 Gingerbread at the moment but would like to update. I have the Bayer lens.

Is there anything in particular you'd recommend for running smoothly without too many bugs?

I hear that the newer versions of Android from 4.1.2 and above you don't have to keep re-entering your VPN password and details as it remembers them and reconnects you automatically?

Am I best going for a Jellybean ROM like CM10 CMX, Slimbean or Paranoid Droid? Or are the KitKat versions okay to go to now without many bugs?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TicoDePano:
Just make a backup and try the latest CM11 ROM.

I never had a serious problem with CM11, and I update regularly. For me, stable for daily usage.

I must have tried at least 30 different roms since I own my defy. The fastest 4.1 one was called NEGAN.

Now, talking about 4.4, my favourite and fastest are Paranoid. Slim kat is awesome but causes too many random reboots
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chirag27:
I find the cm7.2 the fastest. But it does tend to get slow after installing no of apps.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jh20:
i suspect that could be due to memory limitation of the defy. i mean, from cm9 onward you can't even install a full gapps.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TicoDePano:
With CM11, only after a long time, for me, it starts to be slower. Wiping cache and dalvik solves that problem for me (I update regularly with the latest ROM, so my Defy+ do not get slow).

i rooted my zte star 1 using king root but i cant use play store......it shows "unfotunatly play store stoped working".....:confused: help me
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quespan:
I guess it's a bit late to answer but as I have spent 3 days trying to save the Star 1 of my daughter (Don't know how and why but it was full of viruses in the system/app directory), So I would left my testimony somewhere because there was a lack of valuable info on this device.

First of all, Even if you manage to find and run a working bootloader (with "flashify" app, it will be in chinese and won't stay installed. To be clear the next time you're booting you're back to the original bootloader...

For this reason, I have decided not to give up on triyng the "miui" custom rom and tried instead to find a working stock rom.

It seems there very few rom that could be installed on the Star 1 to be honest I only have find one working, a chinese one witouht Gapps or any market app and only in english and chinese...

So what you need is the stock rom "ROM_MF3.1.11_ZTE_STAR_20150602.zip" => https://yadi.sk/d/pAMUQZxWhBDeN or google it

Kingroot PC => google it

GOOGLE APPS => pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20140503-signed.zip => https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407592656 or google it

ES Explorer apk

So I installed this rom with the stock recovery and then I get the root acces with kingroot PC (windows release).

I installed ES EXPLORER from an apk on SDcard and gave it root acces

The You have to unzip the gapps zip file on a sd card and copy manually the "system" directory into the "system" directory of your device.

Then you have to restart you phone and simply update google services app when it ask you.

You can add a language with "morelocale 2" install it from google play.

I hope this could help - if you have a loolipop rom it shoud be ok if you install the loolipop gapps the same way.

what should i do ? i really need a newer version
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalpetros:
Upgrade it to the newest version (Gingerbread - 2.3).

You can even install KitKat (4.4) if you want. Not officially though.

Read this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuffBuster:
I find the easiest way to upgrade from 2.2 is to use the Samsung Kies software and upgrade to ginger bread thru that, so that you can use download mode. Then use the JVU Odin package and cf-root to prepare your phone to flash one of the latest roms. Always best to flash in steps using cm roms cm9 to whatever base of rom you want to use. It's whats I do and everything is always rock stable and clean for me.

Hi all,

I'm hoping there is a simple solution to my issues with the Quick Memo shortcut, when using this facility either via the back button or the home page button I can write the memo, hit the save icon and I get 2 options, save in Gallery or save in Quick Memo, only the thing is which ever one I choose, the memo page closes and the memo isn't saved in either location, I doubt it's a settings issue because it randomly works,

Thanks in advance for any assistance,

PS I have had a look to see if something similar hyas been asked before, apologies if I have missed it,
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] petercohen:
Looks like there are two versions:

Bamboo Stylus feel for Samsung Galaxy Note

Bamboo Stylus feel carbon

What are the differences besides the carbon is larger in diameter and heavier? Which is better for our Note PRO 12.2?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] ShadowLea:
The shell is the only difference. (And the price). The inside and functionality of the pen is identical.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] Gatsrom:
Like shadowlea said internals are the same. The carbon is a little more heavy in the hand. Because I draw, do math, and chem on mine I like the heavier pen so I returned my normal feel for the carbon one.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] petercohen:
From this forum, it seems that there is no offset issue with version 2 of Bamboo Stylus feel. However, from comments on the following youtube, there seem to be offset problems. Any comments?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VoM8Smp1QY
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] ShadowLea:
Some have it, some don't. The point of any Wacom pen is that you have to adjust it to your own preferred setting, but most people don't know that.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] petercohen:
Thank you.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] petercohen:
I am going to buy the Bamboo Stylus Feel. It seems that there are a few versions. One without a '2' at the end (the one with offset problem) and one with a '2' at the end (some reported having zero offset issue). It seems that there is also one called "Bamboo Stylus feel for Samsung Galaxy Note". Which one should I get? Any part number?

On local Wacom's website, I found the following:

Bamboo Stylus feel for Samsung Galaxy Note SKU: CS-300UK2/UW2

Bamboo Stylus feel SKU: CS-300

Is CS-300UK2/UW2 the one to purchase?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] ShadowLea:
That's the one I've got. :)

Keep in mind that there will always be a slight offset if you hold the pen at a sharp angle. The Spen does the same.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] petercohen:
Thanks. It is a bit different from "Bamboo Stylus feel for Samsung Galaxy Note SKU: CS-300UK2/UW2" available locally in store. I guess as long as it has a 2 at the end, it should be fine. Am I right?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] ShadowLea:
The difference in numbering is the country it is sold in.

CS-3002 is the EU product code.

CS-300UK2 is, despite the highly deceptive labelling, the US/Asia product code.

(why they chose to put UK in the non-UK variant's labelling, we'll never know.)

Both are the same pen. (CS300UW2 is the White variant for the US, CS-3002W for the EU)

CS-300(and CS-300W) is the one for all the tablets using Wacom's technology, whereas the 2 is the one specifically tailored for the Galaxy Note series.

The CS-3002 actually has a shorter tip than the CS-300. Which is why some people had to saw off a bit of the tip to reduce the offset, they bought the generic one.

Some people think the 2/Note version is new, but they are very much mistaken, it came out around the same time as first Note tablet.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] petercohen:
The Carbon is a bit heavy for me. I bought the Bamboo Feel for Galaxy Note (CS-300U/W2-AX , blue box with letters in white). It is very nice. I don't notice any offset out of the box. Thanks ShadowLea and Gatsrom.

Under S-Note, is it true that not all the pen has pressure sensitive?

I noticed that after converting the handwriting into typed characters, the eraser can no longer be used to erase the characters. Is there a way to do remove unwanted characters?

Unlock.

Boot recovery with fastboot

Flash ROM image

Enjoy
[HTC Rezound] jwatson21:
i cant find a rom that will take, everything says signature mismatch or something like that.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Not an RUU, a ROM image, there is no RUU available for the current version of software (which according to your radios & hboot you have already) so now you need to flash a ROM with a custom recovery. You are probably getting the security/signature warning because you are not unlocked, you are relocked... You must be unlocked to flash a non-stock (signed) rom.

Make sure you have fastboot working (part of ADB or mini-ADB) and are unlocked

Download the current TWRP img file for Rezound here and place it in your "fastboot directory"

Download a ROM, for stock try this one by MicroMod777 and place it on your microSD card

Start the phone in hboot, and select fastboot, and connect the USB cable

On your PC, go to your fastboot directory and enter "fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-vigor.img" and a green bar should appear in the display, followed shortly after by the TWRP recovery menu

Navigate to the Install/Flash section, find your rom ZIP file and install it

reboot and you should be good to go
[HTC Rezound] jwatson21:
i've got twrp successfully installed, but all i get when i try to flash the rom you recommended i get "error executing updater binary in zip". any thoughts?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Check the MD5 of the ZIP file, is it correct? You are browsing to the ZIP file and selecting it, correct? Is the any other error, something about emmc?
[HTC Rezound] jwatson21:
the zip was good and ive tried multiple roms, no emmc error, is there a way to s-off and flash a ruu maybe?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
OK... Do you have working fastboot and access to a microSD card reader?

Download https://www.dropbox.com/s/pdttet253u4wgrw/CleanWIPE_1.0_-_10x_-Rezoundv2.zip

First, remove your SD card and put it in the reader connected to a Windows machine. Open My Computer and right click on the microSD drive, select Format, change File System to FAT32, and Allocation Unit Size to "Default", untick Quick Format and select Format... This will take some time. Then copy the untouched ROM and Gapps ZIP file and the CleanWIPE zip file to root (main) directory of the SD card. Use MD5 Calculator or something similar to verify the MD5 image on the SD card. Reinsert the SD card in the phone.

Make sure you have the TWRP recovery image file (openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-vigor.img) in the same directory as fastboot and adb.

Start the phone into Hboot and select FASTBOOT, it should show FASTBOOT USB in red, then connect your PC and wait for it to connect. Start a CMD session and go to the fastboot directory, enter the command:

fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-vigor.img

This will transfer TWRP to the phone and boot it, note that this is different than starting TWRP on the phone directly, it gives TWRP access to more stuff than normal.

Now select Wipes, Advanced, and tick everything except External Storage or MicroSD Storage and wipe it, then repeat this 3 times (note that Internal Storage may change names to emmc, this is normal). Watch for any errors... If there are none go back to the home menu.

Install/Flash the Cleanwipe ZIP, watch for errors.. When this is complete go back home and Install/Flash the ROM ZIP, if there are no errors go Home and Install Gapps, if still no errors reboot the device and disconnect the USB cable.

There is currently no way to S-Off the device without it being bootable.

Advice & Review

Without even downloading your app, I must give you some advice! Your presentation for the game is really lacking. You need to include more information and details to have a decent click through rate. Also neither this thread nor the store listing on Google Play have any instructions. You should give some overview of what the game play is all about otherwise potential customers will simply turn away.

The game itself is rather addicting, though I think it needs more complexity to really shine. Maybe as the game progresses there are some curve balls thrown your way to make it more challenging. This would prevent the game from getting stale.

I've been debating between getting the black vs silver version and I just thought of something this morning. Would scratches be more visible on the black version? I prefer the black version but if after a few months it has a bunch of visible white scratches then I would def prefer to get the silver. What do you guys think?
[Moto 360] kornklown69:
I want the black version too and now you made me paranoid haha hopefully it isn't silver with black coating
[Moto 360] JimSmith94:
I imagine if the black one gets scratches, it will be silver underneath. If the silver one scratches, it will still be silvery underneath.
[Moto 360] neilrl79:
I agree, which makes me question black as my intended purchase, but I really think the black is the better look and will just have to try and keep it looking good.
[Moto 360] dpwhitty11:
It's stainless steel, not anodized aluminum. It'll take a hell of a lot to scratch it, but I don't know what process they used on the black.
[Moto 360] Dusty Rhodes:
I had a black steel watch years ago while in the military. It was my "work" watch. The black stayed black even after years of abuse. If they use then proper process to make the steel black it should wear just fine.

Thanks for your responses. I'm still not sure. The silver looks great too, so I might just get silver to just avoid the risk.
[Moto 360] hurricanefloyd41:
The best coating on watches is called PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) and is (usually) black. If they use that coating then you won't have to worry about it scratching. I hope they use it.
[Moto 360] 2k4ever:
I would like the black version as well, I think it looks good and especially also smaller then the silver one

however, I'm afraid it will scratch quite easily going by the latest pictures form this italian blog

in one of the pictures, imo you can see 2 scratches right next to the strap:

http://www.lucaviscardi.eu/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/20140805_161039.jpg

could have come from a tool used to change the strap

ahhhhhh a scratch
[Moto 360] spinedoc:
Might be the lighting, but yeah it looks like scratches to me. I ordered the silver one because of this. For $250 I'm not sure what kind of blackening process we can expect, but I will wait until reviews until I buy a 2nd black one, I'd like to be able to switch between the 2.
[Moto 360] 2k4ever:
a bit off-topic here, but the LG G Watch R seems to use that kind of coating:

[Moto 360] chaco81:
did u guys saw the gallery from the italian guy that reviewed it last month??

on his gallery it was clearly visible that scratches on the coating revealed the silver underneath

thats why i have now chosen to take the silver even tho the black one is much sexier
[Moto 360] kpjimmy:
My exact thoughts! I have had the Pebble Steel in black and I dropped the thing when I was resizing it and fell on the carpet, and even that put a mark on the stupid band lol. Not a scratch, but the matte black was not matte in the areas where it fell. You couldn't see it straight on, but I knew it was there lol. These are the bands people are now using to replace the stock ones that can be bought at your local Best Buy.

I have a lot of other watches that are stainless/brushed steel so black, even though looks kicks ass wouldn't look so good on me. I'm constantly running into things like my 6 year old lol.
[Moto 360] johnomaz:
This was my exact thought and bought a silver one. Plus, I'm very used to a silver watch. It tends to go with everything. Black I am sure would too but I feel like silver metal bands are also easier to find in more variety.

I doubt the black watch was painted. Probably power coated or something which is very durable. As for scratches, it depends on how hard you hit it and on what surface. Personally, I'm waiting for tempered glass protectors for the face. I hate scratches on watch faces.
[Moto 360] Mave025:

Could you post some close-up pictures of it? I'm too skeptical about buying a black one for this one reason that I read everywhere telling that the black surface if scratched will reveal the silver.. But I'm so much taken by the black, I wanna buy the black! :) Confused now! :(
[Moto 360] Rayan:
Go get the black version and then get a black Sharpie to touch it up as needed!

That's what I would do. ?
[Moto 360] Zanthraz:
Its definitely painted

I can confirm that the black 360 is painted. with that said, it isn't the easiest thing in the world to scratch, but when it does the silver metal underneath does come through. My black 360 was perfect for quite some time. It only got a scratch on it whilst I was house sitting for some friends and their giant cat knocked it off my bedside table whilst charging and was thrown across the very hard bedroom floor. Aside from that I don't have any scratches on it thus far.
[Moto 360] Chris_c81:
I've bashed my silver so many times, often taking paint from whatever it is I hit against and I've yet to damage the 360! My heart sinks a little every time I do it though!

2 and a half months into my black 360... i can attest it does scratch.

its not as bad as i thought it will be, but quite noticeable regardless.
