[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
Er...

Why would you need or want to install a superuser app on an already rooted ROM?

What prerooted ROM doens't come with a built-in superuser app?

You messed up your ROM for no good reason...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Couriousdroid:
I am not installing a separate Superuser app. The Superuser app that came with the ROM (ClockworkMod Superuser) is giving me the message "binary is outdated" and then gives me the option to update which fails. Once it fails, a message comes up and says to inform the Author of the ROM for a fix. Sorry my message earlier was not clear...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
I see. Yeah I misunderstood.

I'm not running this ROM but a similar one, mine also originally came with Superuser but I removed it in /system and replaced it with SuperSU which proved to work more reliably. It also occasionally asks to update the su binary but that works flawlessly, doesn't fail. I never had problems with it.

Thank you mahmutelmas06.

This is best Atrix ROM to me. :good:

Tested with TomTom version 3 - how did you get that to install on a WM2005 device?? - Mike
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ateece:
TomTom 3 installs fine on the device.

If memory serves, the problem was with the Windows side of the installer. It didn't like the newer ActiveSync that WM5 required.

The solution was to launch the installer. Find the CAB files that the installer extracted and copy them manually to the device. There is alot of guides around the internet on how to do this.

Once I had done this once, I (as I still do) keep a copy of all the software I install on my device on the SD card. So I can reinstall all the software and my certificate from the SD Card, without needing a PC. In fact, I cannot remember the last time i connected to Windows with a WM device!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ateece:
Forgot to say.

I also think there was a problem with no-sound, but there was an updated DLL floating around the internet that corrected the problem, although I don't think that it was official.

I managed to get 50mb of swap file but I've one doubt. It's created in root/cache. Not in sdcard. I know swap file degrades any flash memory but if this degrades the system memory, i won't be able to switch on mobile, right or wrong?

Sent from the Mars to the Earth just to post a reply.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Garcia98:
Try to create a file in init.d using su and touch /system/etc/init.d/nameofscript commands, also you can try to edit an existing script and add your commands there (dirty solution but the effect will be the same). This issue will be fixed in next release.

About frandom issue it was a typo in instructions, change the path adding /system in the beginning (/system/lib/modules/frandom.ko).

Regarding swap question, it's true that a flash memory is limited to a X number of write cycles, but our phone has just one flash memory of ~8GB, so it doesn't care in which partition you create the swapfile, however you can decrease swappiness to prevent that from happening ;)

for disable it

p.s. i don't like much this XU icon on pc....

my random reboots was related to JRCU enabled and wrong minfree values... :highfive:

Hum, even with your modifications for me minfree values are not getting applied, it seems that a process afterwards overrides these values... maybe it would be a good idea to use a crontab script to change these values and set them each hour or day :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ..::Matr!x::..:
Your minfree seems to me to high... I've experienced 2 random reboot.... I'm testing your kernel without etc folder stuff in your flashable zip.... No uksm and default cm11 w39 minfree values.... Abyssplug/row....

It seems good so for now...

How to boot your Android phone or tablet into safe mode for troubleshooting

by: Aditya Thawardas

May 30, 2013

guide

how to

safe mode

safe_mode_androidAndroid is a relatively stable mobile operating system, but every now and then, performance issues arise. Safe mode is a great tool that you can use to troubleshoot these issues. Safe mode boots your phone running only the apps that came with the phone – that means no third-party apps. Therefore, if your phone runs without an issue when you’re in safe mode, it’s a pretty good bet that the problem isn’t system related, and instead a third party app you downloaded.

Click through the break to see how you can enable safe mode to test if it’s a system problem or a third-party problem.

Unfortunately, not all phones have the same method to enter safe mode. Most Jelly Bean devices use the first method below, but some devices with older versions of Android and some newer devices (like the Galaxy S 4 and HTC One) use the alternate method further down the page.

Method 1 (most Jelly Bean devices)

1. Hold down the physical power button on your device.

2. Long-press the “Power off” option that appears.

device_options_safe_mode

3. A dialog box asking you if you want to reboot to safe mode may pop up. Tap OK.

(Note: If the box doesn’t appear, go on to the alternate method.)

reboot_to_safe_mode_dialog_box

4. When the phone reboots, you should see a “Safe Mode” watermark at the botom left of the screen, to let you know that you are in fact in safe mode.

safe_mode

Alternate Method (some older versions of Android and some Jelly Bean phones)

1. Turn off your phone.

2. Once your phone is off, turn it on by pressing the power button.

3. As your phone is booting, hold down both the volume up and volume down buttons (yes, both) and keep them held.

4. Once your phone has booted, you should see a “Safe Mode” watermark at the botom left of the screen, to let you know that you are in fact in safe mode.

Note: If the alternate method also doesn’t work, you can try holding down menu instead of volume up and down while booting.

In safe mode, while you can’t use third party apps, you can uninstall them. So if your phone is giving you problems as bad as freezing and not letting you uninstall apps, you can uninstall the problem app/apps in safe mode. In addition, if you need to, you can backup your data or factory reset your device in safe mode .

To exit safe mode, you just restart your device as you normally would.

Happy troubleshooting!

it helped me i hope it helps you if your looking for a solution besides a full wipe

I had to switch phones this week and have an old Razr HD Maxx - XT926.

It get the error No signal!! your sim does not allow a connection to this network or unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped

Reading through the forum i see there are know issues with the XT926 users that are outside the US, use SIM cards and Custom ROMS.

What is the quickest way to get my phone actually to work as a phone :)

I think i can flash back to Stock?

Can i flash a XT925 ROM without bricking?

Is there a Custom ROM i can use that does not have this GSM issue -Currently have teh JB Bootloader so ideally a ROM compatible with that?
