[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chablo12:
Thank you very much for your suggestions

I tried both Filecrypter and secretvault pro on Samsung Galaxy S, but encrypted files were visible on gallery!!.

This was after encrypting the folder.

Does android 2.2 saves gallery viewed files in any cache or tmp folder?

Yes we are in a desperate need for encrypted containers, which can store anything.

If we loose phone, nobody will return it, we need to safeguard our personel files.

Let the thief format the sdcard and use it.

Encrypted Container for Android

Hi,

I did a project for a client implementing encrypted container for the android phone. Unfortunately I can't release any source. But, if somebody is willing to recreate this I can guide them. PM me for details.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidbot1337:
i know this post is old, but is there anything available today that can mount veracrypt containers? i know of eds but its just awful. android should do this by now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kalpa11:
I was looking at the home page of the XDA portal today and I saw this dual boot method for the HTC Hero and I was wondering if there was a way to do it on the Mytouch 3g I have a 32B by the way.
[Android] Chuban7:
Please have patience with me because i have some questions that some of you might feel is dumb

1. Is there a ROM Kitchen for the Fascinate

2. If not can some please make one

3. How do you sign roms
[Android] dsixda:
Easiest way is to try my HTC Android Kitchen, it works with several non-HTC devices as well. But, I have not tried it with the Galaxy S phones yet, or had any confirmation from anyone that it works.

For signing:

java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 myROM.zip signedROM.zip

So, you'll need to install Java JDK on your computer and download: signapk.jar, testkey.x509.pem, testkey.pk8

Google for them or just grab them from my kitchen.

Okay I can't seem to install any new apps or update any existing ones on my phone. I'm able to download them, but once it tries to install its always unsuccessful. Don't get mad if this is the wrong thread. I'm new to this but usually find answers to my problems with someone else's topic. Except for this one here. Any help?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SikYou:
Try clearing system cache, reboot into recovery and clear dalvik cache, then reboot.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ograwker:
How do you clear system cache? Searched under settings could not find anything.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] settlethestorm:
I've has the same problem. Lasted about two days. The apps would download but would stick on installing forever and would eventually fail. My solution was logging into Google on the phones browser. It seems like my account timed out on my phone, and after logging out and then back in, my market began to work perfectly again. You can also try what was posted above. Are you rooted? Cause of you aren't, then you won't be able to do those things said above. Good luck, hope this helps.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ograwker:
Tried clearing cache and signing in and out of Google. Neither worked. I have opera set up as default browser, tried with both opera & phones regular browser. Still nothing. Yes I'm rooted, running kaosfroyo v34.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exAusTiN:
Try a factory/data reset. Sounds like your only option.

Reflash after that to make sure it loaded correctly.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ograwker:
A simple flash over to KaosFroyo V 37 fixed the problem. Thanks for the suggestions.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
Clear data for the market in settings. That usually works for me. If it doesn't, you can install the apps manually by using a file system manger (Linda File Manager, Root Explorer, etc.). The .apk should be in the download folder on the sd.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ograwker:
Ok so I've tried all suggestions and nothing has seemed to work. I figured, why not try a new rom? So I flashed over to Vanilla Tazz. Seemed ok at first. Was able to update apps and download some new ones. Emphasis on SOME. Cannot for the life of me get back AndroZip which is my favorite file manager. Even backed it up with Titanium before all this started happening but still could not restore it. And now with Vanilla all you get is the crappy Android keyboard. So I download the HTC ime keypoard apk. Can't install that either. Try to download eoeAppInstaller to do so, can't install that. This is really, really, really pissing me off. Is a factory reset my only hope?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
Did you do a full wipe before installing the new rom? Try doing a dalvik wipe and rebooting. It shouldn't affect the current rom you're in.

Also, it sounds like whatever problem you had in the old rom was carried to the new one. Did you use titanium to restore any apps or settings? If so, you may have "restored" the problem.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
Have you messed with any system apps? Like moving the market to the sd card?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ograwker:
I backed up my kaos rom and wiped all data and cache before flashing vanilla tazz. Just wiped dalvik but still no luck.

I used titanium to restore apps but no settings. And no I haven't messed with system apps. Should I try moving to sd?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
I had a problen with my FB not syncing with contacts (across several roms). Turns out something I was restoring with Titanium (not the FB app) was causing it. It'll be a pain in the rear, but you probably need to do a full wipe, flash a clean rom, and set everything up manually. OR you could probably nand restore to a rom BEFORE you were having this problem, create a Titanium back up, wipe, flash the new rom, and restore Titanium.

Hopefully, this will straighten things out for ya!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ograwker:
Full wipe as in factory reset right? Will that unroot the phone as well, basically forcing me to start from scratch?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ograwker:
Tried nand restore but kept getting an error and could not complete.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
Full wipe for "rooters" means wipe data, dalvik, and ext (if sd card is partitioned).

Have you renamed your nandroid? If so, remove any spaces and try again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kileyohl:
Hey! I found a post to another user who had a similar issue here: xdaforums.com/show...=709788&page=2

I also can get into recovery, however, it's not finding any backup to use etc.

I think if I could get a recovery img pushed to my SD card and go back to stock, I could work with that. Running Zen Rom 1.7 currently. I was trying to clear up some space to install apps2sd as I was out of room and did a full wipe after I made a copy on my PC of my entire SD Card, but now when i go into my phone shell it confirms the phone but can't see system directory.

Not sure how to get stuff back on SD to work with it. Any ideas?? HELP- Phone is 100% DOWN!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

you might need to format the sd card, see if that helps

Hey guys!

I've come to the Evo from the Epic, and one thing I really miss, was being able to slide over to an unread text message, or missed call...

Does anybody know if it's even POSSIBLE to port this to the Evo? Going to a Sense or CM slider just seems so outdated!

Thanks!

[G2 and Desire Z General] theratdude64:
While I was waiting for the G2 to come out, I watched this video on youtube of the Desire Z

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu6yQQRl6q8

And was disappointed that my G2 does not have that quick rebooting option. I see that one has a modified Android, so is that something the G2 just doesn't have or is it something to enable?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Flippy125:
That is a feature of the Sense UI installed on the Desire Z. It's called hibernate. It's not actually the bootup time, just waking from a deep sleep. Like when a laptop dies and boots up again quickly because of hibernation. The actual bootup time will most likely be the sme as the G2 or longer because of the Sense UI
[G2 and Desire Z General] theratdude64:
I knew it wasn't a true shut down, just thought it was pretty cool. Oh well lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] Tatdude806:
WOW! This would be a nice feature to have, but remember the Desire Z is running the Sense UI, and that maybe a feature exclusive to it. I am sure if someone at TMO or HTC wanted us to have it we would. It just looks like a "sleep" mode, no different than on my laptop. Still cool though...

*SIGH* Bloody Brits get all the cool stuff...

Honestly I wouldn't mind the Sense UI on this, got real used to it after my 3G Slide...
[G2 and Desire Z General] angelus788:
Once we get root, other roms will offer that feature. Cyanogen 6.1 will include that feature on all his roms, eventually the G2 as well, once we get perm root. :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
Call me ignorant....but I can't see myself EVER using this feature. While in hibernation, your phone won't ring, your e-mail notifications won't fire, etc. The phone is off.

Today, when you turn off your display, your phone goes into a power-save mode and consumes less power to stay "on".

Who really shuts down that often to notice 10 seconds vs 60 seconds?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serial12:
So i just tried various Roms and I'm very impressed. The roadblock i am facing now is how to copy my contacts from the phone to PC and back again when the ROM isn't sense based. (HTC sync isn't working)

I've tried Android Commander, but i still can't figure out how to get my contacts copied off the phone.

:confused:

Any Suggestions..
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ampicillin:
if you are using 2.2 then it have option you can simply import contacts from phone to sdcard . or use MyPhoneExplorer :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slugbug:
I had this same problem, but then I figured I could start adding my contacts as google contacts. Now all my contacs gets synced if I should decide to flash a new ROM. :)
[Vibrant General] seanstoner:
I got the OTA notification letting me know an update was available. I ignored it because after reading about all the horror stories here on XDA I didn't want to have a bricked phone. So I went ahead and successfully applied the JI6 update manually using Mini Kies as described on Samsung's website. However, I still get the update notification like before! How do I get rid of it?
[Vibrant General] deadpass:
I couldn't find a way to get rid of it, so I just ran it and planned on having to redo the update via odin. It applied just fine however.
[Vibrant General] seanstoner:
Interesting. One of my theories is that I could go ahead and apply the OTA but when it downloaded and did a check against the current version it would give up and move along. Do you think that's what happened? How long did the "update" take? Did you notice a new update.zip file or other telltale signs it attempted an update? Were you rooted?

Thanks!

Sean
[Vibrant General] Solwing:
Just go ahead and do the update, it will download it but won't actually update because it will determine you are on the latest version. Then the message won't appear anymore.

I updated mine via Odin, then click on Update on the OTA notification, and it did not do a full update (much too quick and did not lose root, like I did when I Odin it).
[Vibrant General] Nickarus:
I was bugging out over the same question... but the notification seems to have gone away out of the blue (took between 4 and 5 days).

I may have accidentally missed the 'postpone' button and applied at some point... can't be totally sure... but it's possible the notification will eventually just go away...

anyway it's comforting to hear nothing bad happens =). Thanks for asking the question!

[EDIT]: The icon will deceptively disappear then reappear, apparently. Applied the update this time. It rebooted the phone and appears to have done no damage. Phone is still rooted with RyanZa's OCLF.
[Vibrant General] seanstoner:
It appears mine went away mysteriously as well. I did say postpone 1 day, but it still had the notification in the top with a little clock next to it. When I woke up this morning, it was gone. Thanks for the answers everyone!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shalpp:
I followed the guide on Pathik Shah to put Froyo on Galaxy S phones. I assumed since I the Vibrant was a Galaxy S phone it would work. Now I'm stuck in the recovery screen. I can't select anything or get to downloader mode because there's no OK button to do the combination with.

What do I do? How can I possibly get any Vibrant FW back on my phone?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chalup:
You can use adb to reboot when in recovery. I'm not sure what version of froyo you installed so I can't guarantee how to safely reflash original firmware--a few months ago a bunch of people messed up their phones by installing a European firmware then trying to reinstall our firmware.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
In development section go to the bible and download the froyo rom that does not brick and continue from there.
[HTC Aria General] Plasmamuffins:
I bought a new PNY 8 gig memory card because my Kingston 2 gig wasnt enough. I backed up all my data to my computer, then moved it to the new PNY 8 gig. All my apps got screwed up, so I reset my phone through Fastboot. Afterwards, I had 143 mb free on the phone. I started to reinstall my apps and after maybe 8 apps my phone ran out of memory, and i had about 40mb left when i had like a million apps installed. What gives?

What gives?
[HTC Aria General] dy57:
Sounds like you had apps2sd installed or are using cyanogen. Both allow installation of apps on the SD card in a separate partition.

I'd do a Nandroid backup from you old card via ROM Manager/Clockworkmod and restore. The Nandroid backup will save the contents of the apps partition.
[HTC Aria General] Plasmamuffins:
Nah Im running liberated, I tried to partition the sd card but it kept failing so I gave up. I reset my phone and reinstalled the apps I backed up. Thanks though, im doing a nanroid backup right now
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nova0387:
What's a good app that shows the % of the battery when charging like when using the standard android lockscreen
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheMagicalSock:
You could flash Smooth Sense icons, which is just an improved set of Sense icons with the battery percentage added in the battery icon. You could also try Quick Battery, which is a good widget. If you're running a deodexed Sense ROM, I would go with Smooth Sense.

With the standard lockscreen, you'd need a widget and Widget Locker.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nova0387:
Thnx but i already have the % in my battery icon i just want a widget to go with my widgetlocker app that shows the % on the lockscreen when charging
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ms79723:
You can use Battery Widget. It's in the market.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] magicriggs:
Use battery left widget. It takes up 2x1 or 1x1. You will have to calibrate the battery to the app and it will read the temp, percentage left and also how much time you have left with the batteries charge, like a countdown timer :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] goodelyfe:

If your rooted you can use fightspit's kitchen to cook your own battery icon replacement. Works with any rom. You upload the framework-res.apk from your rom's zip file and tell the kitchen to do the rest. Search xda for super circle battery, it's pretty sweet.

ahahahahha:D:D:D

[XPERIA X10 General] rvictorg:
Honestly I don't know why people are assuming you don't know what you're doing, I think it's safe to say you know how the settings on your phone work, after all you are posting on XDA so one would think you're tech savvy enough to know how to enable vibrate and ring...despite the large number of morons on here nowadays.

What I'm getting at is I'm experiencing a similar problem myself. Only my phone no longer vibrates when I receive messages. It will vibrate and ring for incoming calls but only ring and no longer vibrate for sms. I never changed anything, it just stopped working properly about 2 weeks ago and I was hoping the problem would solve itself, sadly it hasn't yet. I've double checked every setting, uninstalled and reinstalled different apps and have emailed Handcent about the issue, no solution so far.

Also, when I go to the notification settings in Handcent and "test notification" it never vibrates now, regardless of the vibration pattern I select.

Any real help other than unfunny childish smartass comments would be appreciated, for both of us I think.
[XPERIA X10 General] mrtim123:
I dont think they are childish comments, but the comments are assuming a lack of technical ability :)

What troubleshooting have you done? What (apart from uninstalling apps and changing settings) have you done at all? Have you thought that your phone may be broken?

Chances are that if it is failing at vibrate, then no amount of software tweaks or 3rd party apps can fix a hardware fault. TEST IT using the service menu.

(Lock screen - Menu, Back, Back, Menu, Back, Menu, Menu, Back) Service tests => Vibrator. If your phone does not vibrate, then you have a problem. If it does vibrate then go back and check all your settings again - factory restore if required!

How can we assume that the user has any technical skill when this is what was written. If you have an issue, please give a decent outline of what it is (like RVICTORG has done) and the other users can probably see where you are going wrong. "Its not working" does not help anyone.
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:

No I haven't looked at any of his other threads, and believe me I know there's a lot of idiots on this forum nowadays, but I guess benefit of the doubt before harsh words :S Doesn't matter now, he solved his problem but I haven't resolved mine.

Like I said in my earlier post, my phone will vibrate for incoming calls, just not messages any more. The service test was one of the first things I did and I can confirm my phone will still vibrate. I have absolutely no idea why it's not for messages and I feel like I've exhausted all possible solutions barring re-flashing firmware. I haven't received a response from Handsent yet, based on that and no others commenting here I assume this is just an annoying isolated incident.

Will update if I find a solution. Thanks for your suggestions guys despite me having already trying them it's still appreciated and if you think of anything else let me know, peace.
[XPERIA X10 General] Imdking:
Ummm..... So, you figured out the solution to your problem, and all you say is "it's good now'', and don't share HOW you fixed it? Come on, dude!

You started this thread because you had a problem. Now that you found the solution, it is only logical that you post the solution as well. This way, other readers that have the same problem can get help too! I'm sure RVICTORG would like to know what you had to do!
