[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RFZ:
Hi,

I do have one Android 4.4.4 device, rooted, with custom apps, I now want to clone to another 20+ devices.

I found lots of instructions, but all require at least adb support on each target device to upload the backup files which then can be flashed using CWM/TWRP. This requires me to complete the setup wizard on each device and enable developer options, which I don't wanna do, if not necessary.

Isn't there a way to create a system.img / data.img (instead of tar-files generated by CWM/TWRP) I can just flash to each device using fastboot?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RFZ:
HowTo and Problems with TWRP:

1.1) boot device into bootloader

1.2) boot TWRP temporary from fastboot (e.g. using NRT)

1.3) create backup

1.4) reboot device normally

1.5) copy /TWRP from media (Windows Explorer)

2.1) boot new device normally (Setup Wizzard)

2.2) copy /TWRP to media (Windows Explorer)

2.3) power off device

2.4) boot into bootloader

2.5) boot TWRP temporary from fastboot (e.g. using NRT)

2.6) create backup (just bootloader, backup is just to create valid backup path)

2.7) use TWRP filemanager to move /data/media/0/TWRP/serial_master_device/backup_name to /data/media/0/TWRP/serial_current_device

2.8) restore backup with TWRP

Steps 2.6 and 2.7 are total waste of time but necessary because of TWRP limiting the valid backup path to the devices serial number... why?!

HowTo and Problems with CWM:

1.1) boot device into bootloader

1.2) boot CWM temporary from fastboot (e.g. using NRT)

1.3) create backup

1.4) reboot device normally

1.5) copy /data/media/clockworkmod from device using "adb pull /data/media/clockworkmod" because backups won't show up in Windows Explorer (because that is /data/media/0/clockworkmod)

2.1) boot new device normally (Setup Wizzard)

2.2) copy /clockworkmod to media (Windows Explorer)

2.3) power off device

2.4) boot into bootloader

2.5) boot CWM temporary from fastboot (e.g. using NRT)

2.6) get stuck here because CWM will not recognize any backup in /data/media/0/clockworkmod :(

So... I'll keep using TWRP, which is pain in the ass, but at least, it does work...

Any ideas how to speed up the process?
[HTC Desire S] wbsx:
I'm looking for a Desire S rom where one can restrict an application's permissions. So it has to be 4.3 or just a rom that has that functionality. Can anyone recommend one that can be considered as stable?

Thank you.
[HTC Desire S] ltodorov:
You can try MIUI v3.22 but it is based on Android 4.0.4.
[HTC Desire S] xdanewbnewb:
Hi, I find PAC-Rom (v23) to be the most stable for me with Xposed (Xprivacy) to restrict permissions.
[HTC Desire S] wbsx:
Does MIUI have an integrated permissions manager?

Is Xprivacy intagrated in PAC-Rom?
[HTC Desire S] xdanewbnewb:
No, installed separately via the Xposed Framework.
[HTC Desire S] ltodorov:
Yes, it has antivirus, permission manager, network manager... It also has the HTC drivers for camera. Really a lot of integrated features. Cons are some missing translations but I was very satisfied from the ROM. The latest versions of MIUI for saga get too much memory and I have experienced a lag sometimes.
[HTC Desire S] wbsx:
How hard is it to install Xprivacy? Could I install it on a rooted stockrom as well?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmokinWaffle:
Hi all,

Got a P3100 that needs to be encrypted for various reasons. There is no way around it, unfortunately. It is running stock ICS 4.0.3, unrooted (also non-negotiable)

I have one of these docks:

When entering the Encryption password on boot it functions perfectly. As soon as it reboots into android, it ceases functioning.

It functions 100% correctly on an unencrypted device, but as soon as it is encrypted it ceases to work at all. Why is this? Is there any way around it?

It still charges through the dock if I plug the dock in, regardless of encryption. The dock has a blue LED for indicating when caps lock is enabled/disabled. I noticed that if I leave caps lock on, then insert the tablet into the dock the LED will flash on briefly, then the tablet will indicate that it is charging (when the dock is plugged in), fthen the LED will go out and no longer responds to the caps lock key.

I find this all very odd as using a keyboard and/or mouse via USB OTG cable works fine, but the official accessory does not? :confused:

Any help?

Thanks

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneWithABeagle:
Well, since no one replied so far it would seem you're either having a problem no one ever experienced or knows a solution about.

Seeing the Verizon logo on your device, and reading "stock ICS 4.0.3"... I take calling Verizon and asking them about the odds of one of their "ROM betterfications" maybe screwing up is a futile attempt?

Anyway, while your problem description is a bit thin you at least worked out that it seems to work with a USB OTG connected keyboard/mouse. Now... when you plug the tablet into the keyboard dock... is the keyboard totally "dead" or do some of the keys still work? If the tablet still reacts to the "navigation" keys it would indicate a software problem. At least on the Tab 8.9 the keyboard dock doesn't work when the Samsung keyboard isn't selected as the default input method, but it still reacts to the one or another odd key. If it doesn't react at all, you already gave the 30-pin connector in the dock a visual inspection (you may need a magnification glass) to rule out it could be damaged?

If the dock happens to work flawlessly when the device is not encrypted (no physical damage of the connector) but starts acting up once the device is encrypted you already found the problem... some kind of software problem when the device is encrypted. It would actually be interesting if logcat would show some error upon plugging the tablet into the dock (if it does, that may give a clue about what went wrong).

What are the chances of upgrading the firmware? Google just showed me a Verizon page claiming that there's a Jelly Bean 4.1.2 OTA upgrade. How about updating and checking if it solved the problem at hand?

As a value added tip for the future: it's better to resort to Bluetooth keyboards / mice instead (plus a tablet stand so the tablet can stand in front of you in portrait or landscape orientation). Gives you the adavantage that you can use it with another device (i.e. the Logitech K800 can pair with up to 3 devices and be easily switched between them) once you move on to some better tablet/phone, and you're not bound to sit right there but have freedom to move the keyboard around.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmokinWaffle:
It's not a Verizon model, it's unbranded (I'm in the UK) - that image is just a stock photo. The dock is not damaged and functions 100% when a device is unencrypted. I'm 100% sure the issue lies in the encryption.

It works on the encryption 'enter password' screen but no further

Chances of upgrading the firmware are 0%. Same with using Bluetooth keyboards and mice as they are used in a clinical business environment and the various risks involved with disconnection/potential for data breach via bluetooth are sadly too great.

You spoke of 'logcat' - how would I access this?

Thanks for the reply! Even though I think it's a lost cause it's hugely appreciated. :)

Hey guys.

Just wanted to know what's your opinion on those charging sticks (don't know if this is the right name, what I mean is this things: http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/gadgetlab/2009/11/eneloop_stick_booster_1.jpg).

The reason for me to ask for your opinion is that I know that you can ruin your battery by using a bad charger, so what I wanted to know is if any of you uses these things on a daily basis or has ever used it, and what was/is your experience with them.

I usually do a lot of camping and geocaching so one of these things would come in very handy.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jacobmacek:
Need help fixing a bootloop!

Phone was running liquidsmooth 4.2.2 and I tried flashing extreme kernel, I know its for a different android version but I've ran older roms with newer kernels before on other devices. In my head I figured if the kernel didn't work right, I could just boot back into recovery and flash my old rom again, right? Wrong! It appears the kernel was released without a recovery so the phone just loops at the sgsii screen.

I tried putting it into download mode and odin flashing a stock rom, but odin doesn't see the phone, and Samsung kies isn't helping either.

other people in the kernel thread had a similar problem but they were able to odin flash Kuban kernel and all was well so I tried downloading that kernel but every single download link is dead!

Any and all help is welcome and encouraged, as this is my girlfriends phone and if I don't fix it, I have to buy her an iPhone :(

UPDATE: Problem Solved!

What I did:

1. Used a different cable, then odin found my device

-setback: after hitting start on odin, it failed at setup connection

2. to fix that minor setback, I tried closing off of kies

-still wouldn't work

3. removed my sd card and tried again and it worked!!!

So in review, here's how you can go about fixing the problem for yourself ( I am just going to condense the procedure above into steps)

STEP 1: Download SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED-OneClick and extract it to your desktop

STEP 2: Make sure your drivers are up to date & confirm that your usb cable works, then reboot your computer

STEP 3: Remove your phones battery and sdcard

STEP 4: Replace battery and back cover but not your sdcard, then hold home and volume down until a screen pops up

STEP 5: Open odin, with your usb plugged into the computer (but not the phone)

STEP 6: Press the volume up button on your phone, then plug it in and press start on Odin

STEP 7: Just wait a few minutes and let the phone reboot on its own, and it will boot into a rooted stock ics rom!

I'm using Cingular 8525 (unlocked) in Canada with Fido sim, where can i change the GPRS setting on the phone? i don't see any place that can change it? thanks in advance!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] axiom:
look what I found when I googled Fido "GPRS Settings"

http://www.dslreports.com/faq/7418

In any case, Ross Barkman's page is the best for finding your telco settings.

http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html

To change your settings you have 3 options (I've included details instructions so follow them carefully):

Option 1.

1. Go the box the phone came in

2. Pull out the little book that says user manual

3. Open the book up

4. Read it.

Option 2.

1. Scroll to the top of this page

2. Click on XDA-Wiki

3. Go the Hermes Section

4. Read it.

5. Read it again, so you understand everything not just the GPRS problem.

Option 3 (and I'm gonna hear about this from pof).

1. Click Start

2. Click Settings

3. Click Con... Argh, I can't sorry man... you're gonna have to pick 1 or 2.

Forgive me pof, I started feeling sorry for the newbie. I promise I won't do it again!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] eeric:
thanks! i already know what the setting is, but i'm just wondering that will Cingular allow me to change the GPRS settings?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] axiom:
If the phone is unlocked, there is nothing stopping you from changing anything on the phone. For all purposes Cingular is just a name written on your phone, Cingular the company has nothing to do with you anymore unless you have a cingular SIM in your phone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] eeric:
Thanks for replied, the problme is, the Cingular stock rom doesn't have any icon that let me to change the GPRS setting! there should be a "Network Wizard" on Setting-->Connection , but there is non! when i click on GPRS setting, it only allowing me choose either "PAP authentication" or "CHAP authentication" . i have been playing the GPRS setting for a long time, but didn't get anyting, so should i flash to other rom? thanks in advance!

"running" with the same SIM and same GPRS set up but I haven´t been able to navigate internet on GPRS (stalls in the "opening" status), I installed spb GPRS Monitor and the traffic is zero Kb on all tries that I´ve made to connect to the internet. I set also my Gmail account which is set up to retreive amails every 15min and although generates GPRS traffic the behavior is totally different as in my 8125. About MS Messenger and Hotmail the GPRS connection hasn´t been imposible. I´m a newbie I know it!! But you expert guys should help us at least with comments, I agree that some people make repeated questions because they don´t want to read, this is not our case, I´ve read a lot and I´m sure eeric di´d it too.

Thank you Bny! I do know how to make it and also set the proper strings in my case APN would be internet.movistar.mx and the user name & paswrord is movistar. That´s not really the problem, in fact I do know that I have a connection to my network, the problem is that something happen 8525 than doesn´t allow me to route my connections thru other routes but the one that Cingular has a preset. I really don´t know if is it the Ext ROM, my SIM card (not a 3G card) or the network itself since is not a 3G network !!!?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
I suppose there could be a number of reasons for this. But here is a consideration from my experience albeit on a different network. I entered all the details for my O2 connection as published on several different internet sites. Initially I could not get beyond "connecting" but found a minor error in what I had entered. Now I got as far as "Opening" but never actually open a site. I gave up but happened across a website that suggested that if you get that far i.e. "to opening" then perhaps the only fault would be the port number in proxy settings for HTTP. I checked and it was correctly set to "80". I did searches on the internet and found one that suggested port "8080" and it worked straight away. I only suggest that you check the port number and whether there are alternatives if you are getting as far as "opening".

Any ideas to make it appear or change the port? Thanks again you guys!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] luiggi:
I made the connection

I allways had the right "parameters" to set a proper connection, but I realized that the connection speed is extremely slow (5 Kbps at the most). I open another thread related to the use of a G3 device with a non G3 SIM / network. Thank you all for your help.
