[Galaxy Tab S General] Ehcorn:
I'm actually on the other side of this fence, I'm a university student and I use my tablet (galaxy tab S 8.4) for notes with a Jot pro+ and an app called Papyrus, using a keyboard for classes where there isn't a lot of fancy script. Seeing as I'm currently running through calculus, chemistry, and physics though hand writing my notes works best, and Papyrus can write up PDF's nicer than anything else I've tried.

If you like notes from scratch, google docs does indeed work excellent, and Hancom office works even better (which comes with the tablet) and can sync with google drive anyway.

I've also gone through a year using my ipad mini for notes which also worked great since I had a zagg keyboard case for it and it was essentially a mini laptop, sold it because I sold my laptop and wanted something bigger... ended up with something the same size. IF you do prefer hand written notes: Buy an ipad and a jot pro script (the fancy $75 version with palm rejection). My answer is a non-conductive glove and a standard stylus.

Or, but a galaxy note 8, NOT the note 10, I used that one for a semester for notes too and couldn't take it, the screen is way too low res however with Papyrus it might work out a lot better than it did before because S note sucks.

That said, if you prefer typed notes, a laptop is probably your best bet, but tablets are generally longer lived as far as battery goes, and usually cheaper, while being similarly capable for text notes.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coc014:
Hi, i'm on cm11s 25r, rooted with towelroot and twrp installed. I'd like to install 30o and 33r but the ota is not working with twrp ("error, can't install on top of incompatible package"or something like that)

I prefer not too lose all my data, apps and photos. Is there a way to update ? :(

Thanks !
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
What recovery are you on? There are some problems going on with TWRP 2.8.0.0, where you may have to revert back to 2.7.1.1 in order to flash OTAs.

Your steps are to flash 30O OTA and then 33R OTA.

Alternatively, you can start from scratch and flash 30O via fastboot but then you lose all your data.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coc014:
... I just flashed 2.8.0.0 this afternoon it might be related. i think i'll end up backing up all my data, unlocking my bootloader properly and flashing latest rom (i was trying to avoid that because downloading game data and apps takes forever with my "slow" internet )
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Thats understandable, I always recommend people to unlock their bootloaders so when they do decide to tinker with their phones they can flash a custom recovery as well as back up all their data.

When you are fully unlocked and whatnot, get Titanium Backup (Pro recommended) and then you can use that to back up all of your apps/data so they stick on rom changes.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coc014:
i installed titanium backup, downloaded stock rooted 33r, installed it, restored my apps/data , installed franco kernel r18 and everything is working :good: :good:

Try flashing the stock kernel from sammobile.com. i have duos varient and worked pretty hard to root it (Even bricked once), but then installed stock firmware from sammobile.com and did everything more sophisticatedly.....if your phone isn't hard bricked...keep trying every method you find.

Here it is, just copy the extracted files to the pocket controller directory and replace the 'skin.ini' if prompted, restart pocket controller if open and select from the HTC devices list right under the P3300.

It may not be exactly perfect but oh well, you can change it if you want or create a new one.

[General Questions and Answers] Monjur:
I am using samsung galaxy trend duos(s7392). There is no custom rom for the mobile. But, my phone is very very slow. Thats why I should root my phone. But, as there is no any custom rom,, then what should I do if I had any problem with my phone after root ? I mean ,, mostly when anything wrong happens, then I factory restore my phone. But after root , how can I restore my phone ? Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] ajnabicancer:
I think, you better make full phone backup before doing anything. there are many post regarding software with which you can make backup etc.... i think Odin is used for that purpose.... I'm not samsung guy.

gather information, read about "Rooting", "Custom Recovery (CWM or TWRP)" and "ROMs Custom/Official" topics. take interest in reading so you understand more about functions/features, benefits and risks.

as i mentioned above i'm not using samsung, so i don't know much about it's tools. Phone/Stock ROM Backup or download original too for safety reasons and don't take any step to modify phone settings etc.... until you have collected enough information about it and you are aware of your actions. this will keep you mostly safe for issue/damages.

i hope you knew that to install Rom your phone need to be rooted and bootloader unlocked i think. so read about them and how to flash etc....

well, about problems after rooting.. it depends on problem and then the solution.... and regarding restoring phone after rooting it is only to flash official rom or unroot from tool/method used to root the mobile in case option available, i think.

well, here a link for you.

LINK: Rooting Samsung galaxy trend GT S7392

well, search and read about root, custom recovery, flashing room. and Do not forget to make full phone backup. hope someone reply with better solution.

that's all i can share. hope you get the idea.
[Firefox OS General] kookix:
Hi,

I'm looking a way to sync my contact via CardDav (No Outlook, No iCloud, No Gmail)

It seems the FFOS Dev team is not working on despite a lot of users need it

As no CardDav option in FFOS I searched the web and found : Firefox OS Assistant

FFOS 1.3 / Firefox 32.0 / App : PC Sync (Market Place) / Add-on : Firefox OS Assistant 1.3.3 (from Chinese branch of Mozilla)

at first vcf import does not work for me

but after typing one by one each contacts, import / export works ! (FFOS 1.3 only)

and it is not with 1.4 / 2.0

How do you sync your contacts those using FFOS 2.0+ ?

or a way to backup/restore via adb ?

edit I found an old fashion way Mozilla wiki "Tips &Tricks"

Importing Contacts via Device (manually)

First, export your contacts in your old phone to the SIM card.

Some phones have this feature built-in, check your Contacts app or phone settings.

Android: To export Google contacts onto a SIM card (which Android does not do by default), install the free app Contact2Sim. Open the app, select the phone, and in the options menu choose "Copy missing to SIM".

& I will try : https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/QA/Tip...acts.2C_dial_data.2C_sms.2C_and_media_via_USB

Increase space for apps

Hi, immortal, thanks a ton for the guide. I managed to root my phone as well as remove most of the bloatware. A couple of questions, would be great if you could help me out with

1. In another thread you mentioned installing fly-on mode for some tweaks to make it run smoother. Would be great if you could help with a link or instructions. I tried googling but could only find ones that needed CWM recovery

2. The space for apps is only 800MB. I know link2sd allows you to allocate external sd card memory, but i was wondering if there is a way to increase the internal memory allocation itself for apps, since there is about 6GB or internal memory.

Would appreciate your help in this regard.
[Android General] The-Immortal:
You can find fly-on mod here ....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2226373

Since till now there is no cwm recovery the option to install this mod is manual installation .....

Follow the same folder structure create and paste files with the help of root explore its the best tool also don't forget to set permission as follows

All new folder 0755

Files inside init.d 0755

Files inside xbin and bin 0755

Rest all files 0644

I did this in same way ...now am almost fully customised with gesture supported android L keyboard

Face lock in lock screen option ..which all lava didn't provided us in stock ROM [emoji12]

Regarding internal space we need to do reparation once cwm recovery is done we can do this easily .....

At present I don't have Linux build environment so am not touching that part my net is dam slow

If any one is ready to setup build environment and compile custom recovery then contact me I will definitely guide you and help you to my best of knowledge ....

Further if you need anything just contact me ....never fear to brick your device i already wrote a unbricking guide which is working perfect ....(I have already bricked my device many times )

All the best

[Android General] boysha8:
Thanks for the quick response. Apologies for so many questions, but i am not quite sure how to do it manually. I downloaded the zip "Signed_Fly-On_Mod™_sqlite_KK4.4.zip". I understand thats a flashable file, i tried to unzip it and i got the meta-inf and system folders. where exactly should i put these folders?

Also, i am currently using root browser, do you recommend root explorer (its a paid app right?) I did not understand the numbers you assigned to each folder, is that some kind of root permission that you give in root explorer?
[Android General] The-Immortal:
You can safely ignore metainfo folder ...

Only need to paste contents of system folder ie contents inside system folder .....to system folder in your device

Simply contents of system folder to system folder of your device ( inside ticked folder in image )

Root explorer is most best root file manager for ever .... ?

Permissions please refer these images with value

0644

Also please check your XDA PM

[Android General] katinatez:
Not sure if you have a locked bootloader, but you could try this command to find out

Command to boot into bootloader:adb reboot bootloader

Command to check bootloader status: fastboot oem device-info

Command to unlock bootloader: fastboot oem unlock

Command to check if recovery works without writing over your stock recovery: fastboot boot recovery.img

if it works then continue with next step

Command to flash cwm recovery: fastboot flash recovery magnum_recovery.img (on linux this has to be on home folder( or fastboot flash recovery C:\magnum_recovery.img on root folder of C:\ on Windows))

next step

Command to reboot: fastboot reboot

Try this CWM 6.0.5.1 and report back :D

To test recovery I recommend you install aroma file manger first. And post a picture of mounts here.

[Android General] katinatez:
I need for you to use file explorer on phone and go here data/media. Do you see your files? Or is it here data/media/0 now do you see your files? I added your user partition size to see if that helps. We have to adjust only these flags

below. Do the same for sdcard I need an absolute path.

TW_INTERNAL_STORAGE_PATH := "/data"
TW_INTERNAL_STORAGE_MOUNT_POINT := "data"
TW_EXTERNAL_STORAGE_PATH := "/sdcard"
TW_EXTERNAL_STORAGE_MOUNT_POINT := "sdcard"

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 PM ----------

@shoxxy I suggest twrp because the prebuilt kernel for his device will not load aroma correct, and also was getting compiling errors trying to build philz. I had the similar problem with bacon device not loading aroma, the way I fixed it was to use an omni source kernel for aroma to load. It's close just have to get correct paths.
[Android General] shoxxy:
THATS exactly what i said , aroma (touch) issue is kernel related, graphic issues could be changed with rgb settings.

yes youre right thats different to cwm (philz) also twrp is better to build it for a new device (I thibk so) you use fstab 1 i fstab 2 and something else..

but you know how weird this mount , vold , ...... thingis :)

I digged bit more now my

Default SD card which is in build with device is 8gb

Out of 8 GB 5.25 GB is available to store files which is called Phone storage

It can be opened in root explore as extsd

In remaining 3.75 GB space they kept 855 mb for applications and they named it as internal SD

In data/media this compartment is showing

See IMG

Rest of 2xx GB is used for system ....

My external storage ie 16gb SD card which I inserted is called SD card

Now as using device I usually use root explorer and it shows following paths

/extsd >>>>>> phone storage >>>>>5.26 GB

/SD Card >>>>>SD card >>>>>16gb

/storage/sdcard0>>>>16gb ie SD card

/storage/sdcard1>>>>>5.26gb ie phone storage

/storage/emulated/o >>>>855

/data/media/0 >>>>>855>>>internal SD
