[Droid X Android Development] sd_shadow:
you can wipe user data, but not system

or you will need to reinstall rom
[Droid X Android Development] ultrasuper:
OK, OK- I know you said it, I know, but I tried 6 ways to Sunday wiping everything (except data and sdcard), installing the ROM and then the PA-GApps PICO, but every time, GApps always failed with the same error I stated above-- SO

lastly I wiped system and tried installing GApps by itself (mainly out of frustration spurred on by the fact that a search of the forums here for the error yielded basically no-one else with a situation like this which ended up resolved)- which succeeded, but of course, now I'm stuck at the "M" logo.

I guess now I have to SBF .. ?

No way for me to get back to twrp somehow .. so I can simply install a CM ROM from the sdcard?

:sigh:
[Droid X Android Development] sd_shadow:
system is where the rom is, if you wipe it there is no rom...

Pull battery, wait 10 secs, insert battery, press power if you get the safestrap option to boot to recovery (press menu)

if not boot options, you must SBF
[Droid X Android Development] Oggie7797:
Lol what sucks is when you're debugging several test zips at once and you wipe system and forget to flash before rebooting xD I wish bootstrap could be moved to its own partition sometimes so we could eliminate sbf'ing all together

[Droid X Android Development] ultrasuper:
Well is seems that there is NO WAY to get PA-GApps (PICO) to install on this CM Kang (this version at least). It always gives the error I stated a few posts up..

I assume this is because of the way this CM was built; with the Google Apps "baked in" .. ?

Is that it?

I'm gonna try with Google Apps Minimal Edition for Android 4.4.x and see if that will go on..
[Droid X Android Development] palmbeach05:
Seriously? You want to flash gapps when gapps are already in the ROM? I'm a generally nice person with my responses, but you just redefined the meaning of noob, regardless of your experience with android. Stop. Just stop flashing anything but the ROM.
[Droid X Android Development] Oggie7797:
In his defense I told him to do it because he was having problems with Google or something on v2.2 whereas he had no issues on 2.1....or something like that. Don't be a noob yourself bud read a thread fully before posting ;) :) :p

[Droid X Android Development] ultrasuper:
Sorry I offended you. I honestly do not want to waste anyone's time here. I am, in fact trying to expand my knowledge, which I consider a good thing.

The 2.2 ROM is NOT working properly for me. Read back on the last page to see the issues. Here is the developer's recommendation to possibly remedy that:
[Droid X Android Development] ultrasuper:
Installed 2.2 fresh: Google Minimal Apps flashed on no prob...

Adding Google account upon initial boot now doesn't fc which is good, but probs still persist-

Location doesn't work. The icon appears sometimes and stays for a few minutes but no apps requiring GPS can get location. Keyboard gesture typing still yields no results at all.

Ill try 2.1 to 2.2 dirty later and see how that goes.
[Droid X Android Development] Oggie7797:
Try using Google maps and see if GPS us working

Sent from my Lollipop flavored Bionic ;)
[Droid X Android Development] ultrasuper:
First thing I tred, twas a no-go..
[Droid X Android Development] ultrasuper:
2.2 over 2.1 (all but sdcard wiped) seemed much better- No Google account manager crashing on initial boot + google login. Location (GPS) works (installed Maps and tested). I'm going to do the install again but I want to clarify some things I'm not entirely sure about.

Do you simply mean, using Play Store? i.e., Update whatever Google apps come included with your 2.1 ROM? If so, I see "Google" itself as the only app to update.

If not, what and how do you mean? (I haven't installed any additional apps at this point.)

In my haste, the install I did (which as I said *is* better) I used "Factory Reset" in twrp (data, cache, dalvik, android_secure IIRC). I'd only meant to do "dirty" as above.. nonetheless ...

What about the plus/minuses of not wiping anything at all when putting 2.2 over 2.1? Just curious.

And this I stated I already tried: clean 2.2, and flash "Google Minimal" (PA Apps installer wont allow the install) which didn't rectify 2.2 problems I'd outlined earlier..

Thanks!

=================

Upd: 2.2 over 2.1 with dirty wipe. Looking good, one prob so far, "Gesture typing" for the AOSP keyboard is gone, can't figure why- something to do w/the dictionary maybe?

This problem existed with the clean 2.2 install also..
[Droid X Android Development] Oggie7797:
Try using Google keyboard. 2.2 and 2.1 has the same keyboard. The newest cm11 by [MENTION=4338887]m.ksy[/MENTION] has a bigger keyboard but I used the one from 2.1 because its significantly smaller. I don't use gesture typing so I'm not worried about this bug because fixing it means to increase usage of /system which I'd rather not do. Go to play store and look for Google keyboard. It has themes so if u want holo/material you can select them..

Sent from my Lollipop flavored Bionic ;)
[Droid X Android Development] ultrasuper:
Thx Oggie. I'm trying out swiftkey based on reviews. Seems pretty good so far.

This Kang is great so far. More stable than previous and sooo much faster than the regular CM11, and I haven't tried setting up any tweaks at all (perhaps yours comes "pre-tweaked")
[Droid X Android Development] Oggie7797:
Mine is indeed "pre-tweaked" lol that's what kangs are. :p my tweaks that are included are mostly just some init.d scripts, build.prop tweaks...some other stuff here and there...some debloat but not much because i kept breaking things...if you want some fast stable aero control settings see post #19 :)

Edit:

I'm uploading another ROM now...no major changes...well, there kind of is.

--I moved some build.prop stuff around because I can.

--I removed theme engine because themes are being abandoned by devs and themes lagg the x down.

--I am also uploading a flashable zip to restore TE

To update this version:

--Wipe /system and caches because a data wipe isn't required for this build

--If restoring TE via my zip just flash it and reboot, It auto wipes caches for you.

Thanks to [MENTION=5711114]Bobcus Leper[/MENTION] who suggested this awhile ago. As far as Gapps go, I'm just not gonna update them.

[Droid X Android Development] ultrasuper:
Quick ques before I try 2.3.

Can I use twrp backup of "Data" and "System" to make an image of my current 2.2 setup (including the few apps I've d/l'd) if I want to restore my current 2.2, if 2.3 doesn't work out? OR so I can switch to the LS Kanged version (or just regular CM11 latest) to try them out?

Or is that something only Titanium can do?

Thx
[Droid X Android Development] Oggie7797:
Backing up data and system partitions inside of TWRP (called a nandroid) is good for restoring a ROM yes but if you go from say cm11 to LS and you wanna restore /data you will have issues because of conflicting files.

Alternatively if you want to go from cm11 to LS and you want to restore your apks and their data then that's when you beat use TiBu
[Droid X Android Development] ultrasuper:
Done as above. Location/GPS problem is back now- just like doing a fresh install of 2.2..

I suppose wiping /system is why..

I'd surmise that the Google Account problem also exists again for the same reason but I haven't tested that one.

Only way to a completely successful install is via dirty over 2.1 (2.1 -> 2.3 or 2.1 -> 2.2 -> 2.3)
[Droid X Android Development] Oggie7797:
I could probably easily fix this by just reverting to 2.1 and merging select files. This ROM hasn't been source built in ages so its all just post zip pushing files around lol
[Droid X Android Development] Oggie7797:
Who still uses this/ who uses this as an actual device? Was planning an update and was curious
[Droid X Android Development] ultrasuper:
I do. But I'm currently using the current "un-kanged" CM11 due to the issues with the installs on this kang. (BTW there are still random reboots despite me removing the theme apks even on regular cm11 ..)

I woukd like some help on how to update my HTC ONE M8. I root my phone and decided to unroot it following a online video from "the inlockr" after unrooting the phone now shows in fastboot "tampered....relocked" i was able to download the ota update but when i hit the button to install it goes into the fastboot screen and it doesnt allow the update to run instead it stays at the fastboot/hboot screen. I can select recovery and it will run a screen very fast which i am unable to read...but comes back to the hboot screen and also gives me an option to reboot and ill be able to reboot and get back into my phone but it will not update. I installed the stock recovery for my cid and it still doesnt allow the update. I am on software #1.12.502.18... I get no error messages... and i am still S-ON

Can anyone help me please to get my OTA updates to tske. Thank you in advance for your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frogbone:
I purchased a used Note 3 afterchecking ESN with Swappa and Sprint and it came back clear, ready activate.

Once I actually tried to activate it, Sprint comes back with "Unable to verify ownership"

So I did some research with previous owners and learned this:

Guy bought phone thinking he can use it on Straighttalk. Somehow he or Straighttalk got the MSL code from Sprint and the phone was transfered to Straighttalk.

Then they found out that the phone doesn't work on Straighttalk. Straighttalk says they released it out of their system but don't have the MSL code.

Sprint now tells me that once a Sprint phone is unlocked for another carrier it cannot be brought back to Sprint because certain settings change. In other words, once gone from Sprint it's impossible to reactivate for Sprint.

Phone is not rooted and has stock ROM.

Hardware N900P.12

Software N900PVPUDNH7

Android 4.4.4

Baseband N900PVPUDNH7

PRL 55019

My Phone number 000-000-3394

MIN 00000003394

Is there a way I can fix this or am I dead in the water ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rpenrod23:
Try ##72786# - I think that's the correct one. LOL. That forces the phone to reprovision itself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frogbone:
I tried that already. No go. Sprint dies not recognize my phone being on the Sprint network.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wisnia99:
I just went trough that with sprint they had to submit a ticket to the technical department to put it back on the network they can do it you just have to push for it. Took me 3 days.

Just tell them it was never transferred and it's a sprint phone specially if it was activated with sprint before

verified not as good an antenna as LG G2

I took both phones side by side and the Turbo had NO RECEPTION, while the LG G2 had 1 bar and 3G. Very unscientific, but proof to me which had the better antenna inside in a very marginal reception area.

Interestingly at another location where I could not get data outside. The Turbo seems to be able to pull a 4G data connection.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hwong96:
Use process of elimination. Remove downloaded apps. See if p is slow. If not slow reinstall one app. Run app. If app makes phone slow, you found the offending app. If not slow, reinstall one other app. Run app. Get the point? It's a lengthy process, but is required to find which app(s) cause(es) the phone to slow and hang.
