[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameva:
Thank you for your feedback!

The truth is, after I made that post, I did a lot of reading on custom recovery like TWRP, Philz Touch, and CWM, and then I read some more about NoleKat v2.0, and how it basically is like KK but it gives you root access and sd card rights back, so now I've decided to not downgrade. I've learned a lot from when I first tried to root (which ended in failure and a dim screen with flickering colors), so I'm more confident in how the process goes.

I was wondering though. If I install custom recovery (from any of those three), will they wipe my data? I know you can back up your data using the custom recovery, but which one do you think is the least likely to have issues with KK bootloader (assuming the custom recovs have all been updated to 'play nicely' with the KK so people won't get stuck in custom recov bootloop?)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sscsps:
Gr8nole have updated the recovery for SM-T210 to not stuck in recovery bootloop(it used to happen only and only if you use any software method to enter in to recovery mode) download cwm for SM-T210 and you are good to go,

And none of the recovery will wipe your data, even if you select factory wipe from custom recovery, it will only delete all the installed applications,

And of you flash(install) a recovery, it won't delete any data/app

[MENTION=3034891]gr8nole[/MENTION] Please prepare two PARAM image from JB and KitKat firmware. Try both PARAM on your device, maybe one of it is the solution of this recovery bootloop issue.

To create Odin flashable param:

tar -H ustar -c param.bin > param.tar
md5sum -t param.tar >> param.tar
mv param.tar param.tar.md5
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameva:
Thanks again for your feedback!

Wait, you mean the installed apps that came pre-installed with KK? Because that's what it sounds like if you say that the recovery will not wipe my data like game progress, rss feeds, recordings, etc?

So if that's true, should I still create a backup through the custom recovery?

Would that be called a dirty flash? Or a full wipe?

I've spent nearly this whole day reading through the NoleKat thread from v0.1 to v.2. I can see it's come a long way. Gr8nole is truly an amazing developer! I've seen issues like charging offline, recovery bootloop, boot animation issues fixed as each new update gets better and better. :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sscsps:
No, not the pre-installed apps, but the apps you installed will be uninstalled is you perform a wipe operation from recovery(custom)

It's just a apps wipe, it will leave only personal data like photos, songs, etc.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameva:
Hmm, I guess I'm just going to have to do a dirty flash then, mainly because I have this one game app, and even though it stores my game info in a folder, if I delete the app, I lose my account, and it's huge hassle to get it back.

So just to be clear, dirty flashing is basically no factory wipe/reset at all, right? Then what does the davlik or wiping cache do? I think we're still suppose to do that after flashing custom rom.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sscsps:
You can flash it without any risk of anything being deleted, flashing recovery won't delete anything (neither any app)

Cache memory stores dynamic things which helps apps to run smoothly, if you wipe that, your apps will have to make that memory again(when it runs for the first time/first time after you clear cache) to run smoothly in future, but Delvik cache helps android to run smoothly, every rom need different things to run smoothly, so we need to clear previous rom's Delvik cache in order to allow new rom to create is own Delvik cache of its own, this is the reason the first boot takes a bit longer time to compleat because it takes time to write is own Delvik cache, sometimes, different roms' Delvik cache conflicts, so it can be like you get stuck on boot screen, just clear Delvik cache to fix it :)

Hope it is clear, I might be wrong, but this is what I think it is! :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameva:
Hmm, I came across one other person who chose to do dirty flashing, and their's were just fine, only the settings were talking really long to show (~10 secs). Gr8nole told them to do a full wipe, and that fixed the issue. So I could dirty flash, but it might be slow afterwards. Hmm, I wonder if I can use Titanium Backup, or GL to SD to save my game app and files to my ext sd card... since technically, when I do a full clean, the app is safe on the sd card.....

Alright, I'm starting to feel guilty for bugging you with all these questions, lol. I just finished reading the latest pages on the NoleKat thread, and I know we got to download the new firmware cause it has the bootloader fix. But everywhere I look, people flashed it through Odin. I myself got mine through Kies. So does it matter?

So pretty much step one is done - download KK stock rom. I guess my next step is to install the latest Philz Touch recovery thru Odin.. Does it matter if I unzip the zip file of NoleKat and flash it through the tab, or is it better if I flash the md5 file through Odin on my computer?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sscsps:
I don't know if the apps on SD card will be safe after the wipe,

No, never mind asking anything to anyone out here, we are here to help everyone, no matter who, sooner or later. No it doesn't matter if you use Kies or odin to update your device,

There's no md5 for NoleKat, there's only zip file for it,

I suggest you to first try philz_touch recovery and then ask something, because you are asking wrong thing,

There's an option in recovery that says "install from SD card" or something similar to that, just select that option and select the NoleKat zip and it will proceed, just give it a go and we will help you if you face any problem

Good Luck.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameva:
I got it! (I think)

What if I do a dirty flash, then install Titanium Backup (since it requires root anyway, but don't know if it comes with NoleKat or if I have to download it myself), use that to backup my apps to my EXTERNAL sd card, do a full wipe like here, and then restore my apps? Does that sound feasible?

---Update---

Ok, I just successfully flashed the New Philz Touch Recovery Mod!!

Now, I'm going to go back to boot so I can put the NoleKat Rom on my ext sd card.

--- Second Update---

Okay, I just put both the Stock KK firmware and NoleKat v2.0 on my external SD card.

Phew.

I already have Titanium installed. Okay, initiating installation of NoleKat. *crosses fingers*

-Update-

Okay, installing NoleKat without doing a Clean Wipe because I plan to use TB to back up my apps and data first.

- Update -

Alrighty, used TB to back up all my apps ('m surprised it didn't count itself as an app, weird. I guess I can just reinstall it). Everything is backed to my ext sd card.

Then I went back into custom recovery philz touch, did full wipe of cache, davlik, and factory reset. Did not touch system (didn't even see an option actually)

Then I went to reinstall NoleKat from my sd card. Currently installing...

We'll see how my TB restore works once every is rebooted.

- UPDATE -

Okay, bad news. :(

After I did the last step above, I rebooted my tablet. You can read here about what happened.

I had to reflash the recovery philz touch, because it put me back in stock android recovery.

So now I'm trying to restore my backup. :( I really, really hope this works... I honestly don't know what happened.

After I did that full wipe, I re-installed NKat and the set up looked normal, but then the set up wizard stopped working/failed, and I was left with a black screen with notifications at the top, and multiwindow popup. I tried to reboot, but it took forever and it seemed it was 'stuck' at the samsung logo after the boot animation, that I feel like something went wrong. So I tried to enter recovery, but it was the android recovery, not custom. Then, I flashed the philz touch through odin, got into the recovery, and am currently waiting as my backup I made earlier is being restored. :(

Update: Ok, backup worked!! But I also figured out what I forgot to do. THIS POST is my exact situation. So I think I need to rename the stocklauncher to stocksystem.

Ok, apparently that did not install... but I used winzip instead of 7-zip. Installing the latter now and redownloading v2.0 NK cause the old file I'm guessing is unusable now.

- Update -

Okay nevermind. I decided to use the new launcher. Sometimes I just gotta tell myself to let go the little things lol. At least my tab works now, has root access, and is NK. :) Just gotta set everything up like it was before. Glad I took pics!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] medfield:
Had not rooted this device before, I installed autorec.

Rebooted and flashed:

xdabbeb_vs98025b_bootstack.zip

Wiped everything (including internal storage :/) then rebooted back into recovery to install:

xdabbeb_vs98025b_lg_apps.zip

TWRP recovery works, Download mode "seemingly works" but LG flash tool never finds the port the device is on and I dont see a spot to change the COM in device manager, Sideload & push work just fine to put roms on the device.......but no matter what I flash it will not get past the LG logo, is there a bootloader issue?

everything pushed or sideloaded, transfers fine to the device and installations are successfull...but I never get past the LG screen

what are my options, somehow use the LG flash tool to go back to the default verizon install file and get user data back?

I have to go to a party but hopefully I can figure this out. I apologize if this has been solved many of times, but I dont seem to find an answer that works....

Anxious to see how this works out myself. Would rather get two of these 6 inch models than the tab 4 for my kids. But without play store and a decent launcher it isn't happening.

---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

If someone gets one I'd like to know if :

Can you load apks

Does nova or go launcher work.

Does any other app stores work.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powerpoint45:
Yes you can sideload apps

Other launchers will run but the fire does not let you set a launcher as default plus you can not set a wallpaper

I am very anti piracy when it comes to Android apps, but Aptoid runs well on here and has tons of apps and can be easier than taking the time to sideload. But it also has paid apps you can pirate so you just have got to avoid those.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkhigh:
Thanks, I've used aptoid before, I suppose it would be okay. The launchers is the hard to swallow part. I'll sit back and watch to see what comes of these nifty 6 inch devices. I used a kfhd with stock but play store and nova for a few years. If we manage that it would be great.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
launcher and wallpaper

I'm still deciding so it would help to know . . . If you sideload Twisted Home can't you set a default launcher with that? Also, on my 3rd gen. wallpaper sticks with some launchers but not others. Are you sure no launcher can use wallpaper? Thanks for info!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jessical:
It's not that we can't set a default launcher, it's that it doesn't stick. I tried Themer and it worked fine with setting wallpaper.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z50king:
I have never had a tablet before so I bought a 6 for my mom and a 7 for my girl friend. I got them on Black Friday for 79 and 109 dollars. I made the choice based on looking up dev work for the KINDLE Fire HD6 and HD7. Then I got the devices in the mail, opened each expecting to root them, go to settings and see that nothing matches and that this is a Fire HD6, without the Kindle name.

So, I am glad I didn't buy one for myself! I am assuming that Amazon is paying Google for the source code of aosp if they are taking out the Play Store and Google Search? That is how Google makes their money on aosp

i would like to get tcpmp workin on my 8525 but i cant figure it out, perhaps i can get some help?

i searched quite a few keyword strings reffering to my issue which is more audio focused than video but nothing so here i am asking. :)

at first, i was getting the tcpmp flickering issue and went into options->video and changed it to raw framebuffer to fix that but upon every entrance to tcpmp (which is installed to my main memory) i get the popup error:

"player: MPEG4 AAC Audio decoder not included! It was removed from the official install package because of intellectual property consinderations."

i get the video from most of my files but no audio, figured it could b an audio issue but my only choice under options->audio besided the default Wave Ouput (which doesnt work) is Null Audio and/or Disabled and neither of those seem logically correct.

Windows Media Player stops during video play often when playing mp4 files, sometimes neway and it gets annoying.

Hello. I have an HTC One S with Cyanogenmod 11S installed. I came to CM from HTC Sense 5 and backed up all application data with Online Nandroid Backup and Helium. I also have an HTC keyboard dictionary file (*.htcudb). So after changing Android versions I successfully restored all my application data with Helium. But cannot restore user dictionary and SMS database.

When I select SMS in Helium, it starts the restore procedure but no old SMS messages appear in SMS app.

The Keyboard dictionary file is invisible for standard keyboard at all. It just keeps saying "No user dictionary found in Downloads folder" or similar.

Is there any solution for these two things? Thank you!
