Guardianrom was meant to be a security-focused open-source rom for phones (targeting Nexus devices mostly). It had cool features like hidden OS and hardened kernel. There was a bit of news about it early in the year and a kickstarter.

The kickstarter was canceled without info: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/x942/guardianrom-secure-android-os/comments

The dev's twitter account was deleted: https://twitter.com/x942_dev

The dev's username here on xda was deleted: http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=4418219

All references the guardianrom were removed from shadowcatconsulting and the guardian project website

Anyone know what the story is here? I believe the dev was Kyle Davidson, who has posted recently on his blog so he is presumably not in prison or something... http://www.kyledavidson.ca/

Probably as simple as going to your providers website and setting up the GPRS and MMS settings in the phone. Or searching the forums for the carrier customization cab files. At least that is all we have to do in the US for T-Mobile and Cingular (T-Mobile's site has an error on it though)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namrepus221:
OK I'm trying to update to 5.0 on my Nexus 7. I have the OTA file on both my PC and my Tablet. I'm rooted and unlocked. I'm using TWRP and Wug's

When I try to flash the file it gives me this message before bombing out

Package expects build fingerprint of google/nakasi/grouper:4.4.4/KTU84P/1227136:user/release-keys or google.nakasi/grouper:5.0/LRX21P/1570855:user/release-keys; this device has Android/omni_grouper/grouper:4.4.4/KTU84P/eng.dees_troy.20141028.111642:eng/test-keys

How do I fix this so I can get the OTA flashed. I don't care about losing root because I can use Wug's to get it back.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BradleyR2010:
Im getting the same :S
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
seems to be complaining about your custom recovery (TWRP?) note the "dees_troy" string in the message.

if you have an unlocked bootloader, you could flash the stock recovery from KTU84P* into your recovery partition, and then take the OTA**. After that, just use fastboot to flash your custom recovery back into place.

cheers

* assuming you were on rooted-KTU84P to begin with.

** attempting to run an OTA on a modified ROM generally only works correctly on very lightly rooted stock, and sometimes not even then. If you have removed stock (system) apps, diddled with the stock frameworks, or installed something that replaced a system shared library (.so), it is pretty unlikely that the OTA will succeed. Take full backups before you start.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lextacy_2008:
I was trying to free up space and saw LG Home was taking up some space. Never knew it was a critical launcher. Ive tried millions of methods on various sites including xda, android forums, android central with no luck. Here is a rundown of the situation.

1. I had clockwork installed then it "disappeared" adb reboot recovery stopped letting me go to the clockwork bootloader

2. I have a custom ROM sitting on an sdcard called Cyanogen.zip Its never been messed with yet.

3. I do not have a "nandroid" backup or backup of the stock rom because clockworkmod never worked

4. Doing a factory reset did not fix the issue because apparently the OS runs live off the rom aka it never installs itself to the device like in WIndows . SO I get a total black screen setup screen with only a signal bar on top.

So the latest thing ive been trying is adb pushing a copy of LG_Home into the /system . This is not working because im getting a "permission denied" . Now before you get hasty please do not have me do these commands:

1. mount /system already did this back when doing clockwork

2. remount -o ,rw does not work, probably due to already having root

3. adb root tried it and it doesn't really do anything, I still get permission denied, and usage errors

This does not make sense because the phone is rooted (does factory reset take away root? ) , chmod 777 has been applied to /system . If I lost root doing a factory reset, is there a way to root the phone now that I don't have a functioning phone?

Here is what im aming to do with your help

1. Force the LG_Home.apk file into the /system

2. Force some way to get cyanogen mod installed as I now have a corrupt stock rom

Something has to work and im hoping someone will help me

Camera: 16 MP, 5312 x 2988 pixels, f/2.2, OIS, iPhone image processing (5 MP Front)

Performance: Snapdragon 810 (8core, 64bit), Adreno 430, 3 GB of Ram

Battery: 3500 mAh with Motorola Turbo Charging

Speakers: Dual Front-facing stereo speakers

Design: 5.54 x 2.85 x 0.37 inch (146.4 x 70.6 x 9.4 mm)

Operating System: Android 5.0 Lollipop

I personally would go for a bigger display with the same dimensions if possible. Bigger 4000mAh battery would be nice too.

1080p and 3GB RAM? How very september 2013...
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimex:
I film all the lectures in my classes at college and then I upload them to a private YouTube channel to send to my close friends/classmates. This way, if they miss a class I have them covered, if I have to miss a class, they take my camera and film for me, etc, etc. It's a win win for everyone.

I'm currently using a Sony CX150 camcorder to do the videos, but with a fulltime schedule and intense classes it's getting harder and harder to make time to transfer videos from the camera to my computer, upload them to youtube, name them, etc.

This is where the Galaxy camera would come in. I'm thinking this would be a good way to shoot the videos and have them immediately upload to my YouTube page after each class. This would take a big inconvenient step out of the equation, and since I'll be connected to school WiFi, it should be seamless. I could also replace my Sony NEX with this (I think). I'm not a photography person so I think this could substitute just fine for my still and video camera.

Few questions:

If I had 2-3 one hour classes with continuous video, how many batteries would I need to film the classes and then have juice to upload to YouTube? I'll drop the quality down as much as possible (doesn't need to be 1080p).

How is the mic on these? The CX 150 picks up the professors speech just fine, and that has to happen for this to work. An external mic could be used if need be?

Is there another product you guys would recommend for this specific use case, if not the Galaxy Cameras?

If you do recommend the Galaxy Cameras, would the first generation be fine for me or do you recommend the 2nd gen?

Any of you use the extended batteries hinted in the other threads?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] internetpilot:
I'll answer what I can:

1. I don't actually know how long the battery would last with continuous recording. I've yet to record something that long. You can always just hook it up to the charger -- it uses the standard Samsung USB charger, so it could even be powered through a laptop, etc. Also, you could get a portable battery charger/bank thing. They're relatively inexpensive now and can easily double if not even triple your battery life.

2. The mic is mediocre. However, you can use an external mic but you'll need an iPad adapter because the mic shares a port with the headphone jack. You could use a wireless lapel type mic or a shotgun mic, both of which are available from Amazon, etc. for rather cheap. I use either a wired lapel mic or a shotgun mic with a flash bracket to mount it.

4. It probably would be difficult to find a 1st gen Galaxy Camera, and since the 2nd gen ones have be reduced significantly in price, I'm not sure that you'd want to get a 1st gen model.
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimex:
I don't always have access to a port to keep charge when in class, but portable power bank is an option. Do you have the GC1 or GC2? Currently I just carry multiple batteries for my camcorder and swap them out real quick when one runs out.

Which one is it, wireless or wired?

There are 1st gen ones on eBay for $160. Don't know if it's worth shelling out the extra money for the 2. You can get the extended 2,000 mAh batteries for the S2 and they fit in the GC1 correct? I could give 2 ****s about a couple hundred MHz spec bump in the processor. But updated OS in the future would be nice.
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] internetpilot:
I have the GC2. I also bought an extra battery for it and external charging sled. I also have what can best be described as a "lipstick" power bank originally bought for my phone, but the battery is in the GC2 is identical capacity as my phone, so it works just as well.

I have the wired lapel mic (with a really long cable) that I often use for my son's YouTube videos, but a wireless lapel mic will also work and as long as you steer clear of namebrands you can get a wireless lapel mic for pretty cheap (like US$40). When recording my sons' band concerts or other large room events, I usually just use my $30 shotgun mic. It does really well. I put it and the camera on a small flash bracket which gives me a handle for easier handling, but there's also a tripod mount on the bottom of the flash bracket

For more specific info about external mics, see my posts (with links) in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-camera/accessories/samsung-galaxy-camera-external-wireless-t2861562

I never looked into the GC1 to the point of knowing what battery it uses. When I was looking at it, the price was so ridiculously high (and stayed that way for so long) that I just gave up on it. The GC2 price went down a lot sooner. The processor is much faster in the GC2 -- noticeably so in all the comparison reviews. I mean, if you're just turning it on and pressing record, then you might not notice it, but if you're doing any type of even minor editing of the video before you upload it, you'll definitely notice it. Also, the OS on the GC1 is rather old and they never updated it (and now never will with the GC2 out). The GC2 is running v4.3. That being said, they also likely will not update the OS on the GC2, so you're stuck at v4.3 even with that camera.
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimex:
What do you mean charging sled? Like an external charger you plug into the wall that a battery clips into?

I just pulled the trigger and won an eBay auction for a mint GC2 with a missing wrist strap for $231.45 including shipping. Good deal in my opinion.

I was thinking of buying these 3 batteries which comes out to $15.60/battery and this external wall charger for $8.42. Thoughts?

I wish someone made an extended battery for these GC2s. There's one company that makes a 2700mAh for the GC1. I'm hoping this camera fits my needs!
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] internetpilot:
I actually don't like the wrist strap, so it's a better deal than you might think. Haha.

Yes, it's the genuine Samsung charging sled, and the battery is also an OEM Samsung. I actually couldn't find a 3rd party battery for the GC2, so I didn't have any option other than OEM. I usually don't mind going OEM on the battery. I've had several devices destroyed using 3rd party batteries in them, especially charging them.
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimex:
Just got the camera in. Didn't have much time to play with it because I have to get to bed now.

However, every time I tried to record a video, saving to device memory, microSD formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, there is a 20 minute countdown timer. Is 20 minutes of video the max this thing will record?

If so, that's ****ing stupid.

The final version of Windows Mobile Device Center has been released and I have not had any issues doing ROM updates with the final version.

Secondly, you can use a utility call Easy BCD to modify the Windows Vista bootloader so that you can dual boot Windows XP on a computer that already has Windows Vista installed. You just install Windows XP on a separate partiotion from Vista. The computer will then only boot to Windows XP. Put the Windows Vista DVD in and do a repair and the PC will now just boot into Vista. You can then run the Easy BCD tool in Vista and tell it where you installed XP and it will modify the bootloader so that Windows XP will show up in the boot menu. The bootloader changes can also be done manually but the utility is much simplier (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919529)
