[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tominater12:
Well I am rooted now but when I was not rooted I could run the command "adb devices" so maybe it is possible.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tominater12:
It does not matter now but this debunks it.

"Users who have a rooted phone: You can backup apk+data as well as market links!"
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
Its going to piss me off, i have no problem with rooting my phone but at this time im just not ready to go ahead and root my NS nor do I see any major reason to make the jump, and before i root it id love to get atleast some of the data off like game saves and such before unlocking the bootloader
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tominater12:
That is why I rooted now so I do not have to worry about losing THAT much with my game saves. Yah though there should be someway to back up user data from apps without root.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
But it also says: "MyBackup and MyBackup Pro will work on all Android mobile devices, regardless if they have root access or not."

I think the quote you're using means it adds market links, but I don't use MyBackup Pro any more. It was the first backup app I used on Android, but I don't think it was pre-root, so can't be sure.

The app is free 30 day trial, maybe someone who's not rooted can test it out and see what exactly it backs up.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tominater12:
emailed the developer asking if you can back up app data without root.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
here are backup options

Contacts, call log, bookmarks, sms, mms, system settings, home, alarms, dictionary, calendar, playlist

ya im pretty sure you need root to access /data/data/

I cant even get to /data/data/ using adb permission denied

EDIT: there is a version made specifically for phones with root
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Makes sense.

Ridiculous that it takes root to back up your apps and data. What the hell is Google thinking with that one?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
hopefully someone devs a way to root without unlocking the bootloader like with the N1.

Only reservations I have about it is losing some of my data that cant be saved :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blue Acid:
I rooted my phone before I ran into that issue. Titanium Backup is what I use but it requires root. MyBackupPro is what I used to use, but it can only back up data once root is acquired.

Hello,

My brother and I both have d2gs. I changed/removed apps in the system/apps folder as a result I was unable to upgrade to 2.4.3. My brother hasn't changed anything or rooted. If I copy his folder and overwrite my directory will I be able to update? (His phone is already updated)

Thx
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
Not going to work. Update updates bootloader, recovery and kernel beside system.

My advice if you can't get system stock manually is flash SBF, then update OTA

Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL
[Droid 2 Global General] Vexorg:
Yea I didn't think it would be that easy haha
[Droid 2 Global General] adridge:
I think Vexorg might mean the system/apps folder, which he or she modified to disable bloatware. It seems that removing apps from that folder makes the update fail. One should rename the apps instead to disable (e.g. CityID.apk -> CityID.apk.bak) so the original state can be recovered when updating.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in that case copying the brother's system/apps should work fine. I've read that you can download the same APKs online to recover them, so I would imagine using the brother's directory contents should be fine as well.
[Droid 2 Global General] Vexorg:
Yup that's exactly what I meant, can anyone confirrm?

[G Tablet General] wasya152:
i just noticed that although my calendar on the tablet syncs with my google calendar, the time of the appointments is way off. if the calendar has an 11 am appointment, it shows up at 5 pm on the tablet. it's six hours ahead on all my appointments. does anyone else have this problem? how can i fix

also, is there a way to enable search through stock browser to always show up as the classic result, not mobile. when i search, it comes up always as mobile, but not even normally like on my nexus s. it looks like it's just plain html with no spacing or anything. i've attached a screen shot for reference.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Sounds like you don't have your correct time zone selected in the tablet's date/time settings.

I use vegan 5.1 with the standard browser. Do the following

Type about:debug in the url and hit the arrow to the right

Scroll down to the bottom u should have a bunch of new options under debug

Go down to the last option and change it from android to desktop
[G Tablet General] lamtutu:
I got a problem with G-tablet. Run with Vegan rom 5.1 .

It automatic shut down without any reason even I didn'touch it.

In quadran app: it show CPU info

Name. : Arm v7 processor REV 0 (V7L)

Current freq ?

Max freq :?

I ran some test and it get about 2369 score.

Someone got same problem like this? And the CPU not a tegra2 dual core?

Thank for any info
[G Tablet General] wasya152:
i tried this, changed it to desktop, but for some reason, still getting the same search view. anyone have any other suggestions.
[G Tablet General] Frrrrrrunkis:
I also have an issue. Is there a way to calibrate the screen in Vegan?

My issue is that the left side of the screen, about 1.5 inches from the bezel in, seems unresponsive at times. THe home button on the top left is almost unsable. When the keyboard is open, the letters on the let, Q,A,Z, do the same thing. I have looked in settings, but I see nothing for screen calibration.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Make an empty file named "calibration.ini"

Place it on the root of the external sdcard

Reboot your tablet

Don't touch screen until the tab is completely rebooted

Rename calibration.ini to *.bak or delete otherwise it will run every time you reboot

I think it works on the internal sdcard as well but I did it from the external. There will be no prompts or anything running.
[G Tablet General] TeutonicWolf:
That's normal -- "about:debug" isn't actually a page that gets called -- it's like a flag that is set...

If you just continue with the instructions, the hidden options should be there...

The same view may also be due to a cached copy of the site...or the site didn't actually have a "mobile" version...
[G Tablet General] TeutonicWolf:
I think this display may be due to the permissions on the CPUfreq config files (as discussed in some other thread) and/or what the app is using to determine what CPU is present...

I think most apps are just checking the instruction set and running accordingly...

The Tegra2 does use the ARM7 instruction set -- though technically, it is a dual Cortex-A9 derivative...

Cores reporting as only "1" is likely a bug in Quadrant -- probably because dual core procs are so new...

Possibly, could be even that the Tegra2 has disabled the 2nd core as Quadrant doesn't use or need it...but I doubt it...

With phones like the LG Optimus 2X and the Motorola Bionic (both dual core CPUs) coming out, I'd expect a Quadrant update soon to address this display...
[G Tablet General] jerkweed:
battery life from standby?

I've got vegan, and the battery drain during standby seems really high...i hit the power button to turn the screen off this morning around 9am, and by 5:30pm, i had lost 14% of my battery time. Is this typical?
[G Tablet General] toddmp:
same here...still unformatted view. I'll try another browser.
[G Tablet General] wasya152:
I changed the setting, but it did not solve the problem. It happens not on a site but when I type something into the address bar on stock browser to search

Wow i have the same problem, I thought it was my tablet. I was going to try and exchange it. Anyone have a fix?

[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
See post #12
[G Tablet General] swooperstar:
ok ignore last post sorry.

Seriously though, I had the same problem and while trying to troubleshoot it I somehow un-broke it. It will sound crazy but try checking

settings > display > auto-rotate screen

and then unchecking it again, or some combination of that and the landscape setting in the browser. After messing with those two settings the problem went away for me and now it doesn't seem to matter how I set either of them.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] generalExpert:
My wife's EVO is getting really slow when using the stock Sense Messages Application. She has thousands of texts... I've tried everything to try to delete them but the application keeps crashing in the process. I've even gone to the Applications menu item to the Messages Application and cleared data. It told me that all the data would be erased. I went back into the application and they are all still there.

I need to get this thing cleared out... Why is it so difficult? How do I delete them?

I'm thinking my only option is to do a factory data reset. I've searched google and this forum and haven't found any answers but a lot of people with the same problems.

I'm getting scared cause she came from an iPhone and she's starting to regret it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baknblack:
Mine crashed also, at least it wouldn't let me open pictures.

Just for giggles try downloading handcent from the market and see if it will let you delete the messages.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrubambinoxpr:
try "sms Manager" from the market.. works great on my evo..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] generalExpert:
OK, I figured it out. There must be a timer that the application uses which alerts to forceclose because the app is not responding. However if I hit "wait" over and over it will eventually delete what I want.

I don't know why it's taking so long to delete a thread of texts... A thread of just 200 texts can take like 5 min to delete.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlGmanlx:
that is AOSP/Android as a whole is glaringly terrible. IOS and even my BB curve could delete months of texts extremely faster with terrible os and hardware
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] generalExpert:
I would definitely disagree with android being "terrible". This problem could be directly related to htc sense/messaging app, or who knows what. I highly doubt this is related to the OS itself. I guess I could be wrong though. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlGmanlx:
try it on any AOSP rom, pretty sure its a function of the OS, could be wrong
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spike99999:
I have the same issue on my evo, but if I just wait it out it eventually deletes them. My friend has a hero and it took him 4 hours to delete several thousand texts...I'm curious why it takes so long.

Also I was terribly annoyed by how laggy the stock messaging was, so I tried handcent, and that was just as laggy. Then I tried chompsms and it runs a bit faster. Plus it's customizable so you can make it look however you want it to :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dc13:
If her phone is rooted you can use this option.

The fastest way to delete messages granted this will delete every message you have but it works.

use root explorer or

es file explorer and in the setting go to root options and have root explorer checked. ( you need to have a rooted phone to do this.

go to the root of the phone you will have many folders called data, sys, system, etc.

navigate to

data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases

in that folder you will see a

mmssms.db

this has MMS and SMS. now you can delete it or move it to the SD Card just make it so its not in that directory any more.

Now reboot the phone and every text and pic mail will be gone as if you deleted it.

Hope this can help some of you.

On another note this can also be away for you to restore all your messages. just take the old mmssms.db file and replace it and reboot the phone and all your texts will be restored.

Reason why it take so long is because it has to rewrite a database when each text is deleted so lets say you have 3 texts this is what it will do.

delete the first text

write a new database

delete next text

write a new database

delete last text

write a new database

it does that to every text.

hope this helps someone if not you all.

enjoy.

Is this any different than installing the I9000 Darky's 8.0 ROM and then flashing a new kernel and a modem using CWM?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
the modem, sbl, and vold are samsung binaries so the only person you have to listen to on those are samsung. but according to xda rules you need to ask the developer/ROM builder BEFORE you release anything. I hope for your sake you asked both darkyy and designgears for their permission to do this.

darkyy (obviously) create the whole ROM, so the option to "port" it over to the Captivate is ultimately up to if he allows someone to do it (or if he does it himself). and designgears compiled the kernel himself, so that's also his property. but the important part is to ask FIRST before incorporating others' work.

Hello xda,

I have noticed that their is a lot of G2 rooting help threads in the Q&A section. In a effort to help organize and cleanup the Q&A section I thought that one thread will be sufficient. What I and possibly others will do is help the less experienced G2 members workout some of the issues with their rooting problems. I am not that experienced but I learn quickly and have come to know the workings of the G2 well.

So how will this work:

You will ask question

You will be given a number in the following format | Username = Case #

Any answers/follow ups will have the case number in front of it

When question is answered a post will be made showing Case # and it will quote problem and solution in a different post where it will be easy to find Link to Solution Bank

An example will be displayed:

I've found the best way to wipe battery stats is to full charge your phone with it on, then turn it off and let it charge overnight, and lastly when you turn it on in the morning go straight into recovery and wipe your battery stats. Make sure you use your phone until it dies completely before charging it again.
