Possible solution to screen flicker when going back to an app topic

Hey Guys,

so I'm on my 3rd nook HD+ and all 3 had some sort of flicker when i open an app that's already running (CM10.2 and CM11). I've been tinkering with the Nova options and as soon as I switched the opening app from stock to slider (I believe it's on nova prime only) there were no more flickers to be seen. I'll post a video sometimes this afternoon.

[SOLUTION] Titanium Backup not enough space 4.4.2 TW topic

Hi all!

I've updated from 4.3 to 4.4.2 Samsung Rom (tw). My case NB8.
Titanium Backup has stopped working. Shows the error "not enough space" when backing up to external sd card. Also, it shows that extsdcard is not writeable.

Here's the solution for i9505 to get it working, of course you need root to do that. It may work for other apps too and other phone models such i9500:

Edit file platform.xml in system/etc/permissions (make a backup first).

Search for this:

Code:

---

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
        <group gid="sdcard_r" />
        <group gid="sdcard_rw" />
    </permission>

---

Add this:

Code:

---

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
        <group gid="sdcard_r" />
        <group gid="sdcard_rw" />
        <group gid="media_rw" />
    </permission>

---

Save changes and reboot.

Regards.

Samsung Galaxy S4 MT6572 GT-I9500 no service solution !!! topic

hello ! after a week of testing ive finally found a solution for samsung galaxy s4 clone ( mt6572 gt-i9500 ). with no service !

Soo , you have no service and can't make calls ! follow this instructions and you will be talking on your phone in no time ;)

Its very simple : ( i'll add the necessary links / software for this job )

1. you need SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1316.0.150 ( you can easy google this one )

2. you need the WORKING ROM ! http://www.4shared.com/rar/9ClKLRR2c...8012a_fwv.html

3. you need MtkDroidTools http://www.4shared.com/rar/KcOfy4tdb...roidTools.html
( this version is allready modified to work with mt6572 )



The procedure :

we must first format the phone using SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1316.0.150 . soo we open the program and select the scatter file.txt atached in the rom . hit format and then hit OK.
Now remove the battery and connect the usb cable to the phone. it will start formatting the phone. wait till is ready ( you will see a green circle )

At this point , the phone is ready to receive the new ROM

you have allready selected the scatter file early'r .

THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT !!! uncheck the CACHE and USRDATA at the bottom.

Now hit Download button , you will get a warning message, just press YES
Now put the baterry back into the phone, and connect the usb cable. wait till the process end's and when you see the green circle you can disconect the phone, remove the battery, insert back the battery and power on the phone , and voila !! your phone have working network !!

Next step is to write the IMEI...

Use MtkDroidTools ( you must have debugging mode on in the phone ) connect the phone to the usb cable, wait till MtkDroidTools see your phone , and then hit the big imei button. There you must provide the imei number ( you can find it under the battery ) after that you hit write imei and then reset your phone and you are good to go ;)


I presume that you allready have the usb drivers ( if not, i can also provide them )

For other questions use the forum below ;)

If i have saved your day, maybe you consider making a small donation ;) ( for that, use the DONATE TO ME button under my name )


Have a nice day !

[Q] Not able to scan networks, solution through terminal? topic

Hey Folks, This is my first post here on xda. I have a Verizon Droid Charge and since I have finally gotten a new phone I have been tinkering around on this guy. Having a lot of fun and reading a ton. I have loaded a custom recovery (cwm) and a custom ROM (tweaked lite 1.0). Still can't figure out if I have unlocked the bootloader (not even sure what that is, to be honest).

So here is my question, I let my phone battery go completely to zero. That seems to have tripped something, because since this happened I have not been able to get wifi. When I attempt to turn on wifi I get 'Unable to scan networks'. I read a few other posts (not for the DC) and there was talk of deleting the data/local and data/misc directories. Here is an example thread which happens to be in the Rezound forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1519237. I have attempted to do the same thing on my DC through Terminal Emulator in SU mode. The /local and /misc directories are not within /data they are on the same level. I deleted them anyways with no luck. I also read in another post to delete the file in data/wifi/ which I tried. All of this was of course interspersed with wipe/factory resets and reboots. The phone is not active so I have no mobile data, thus my options for loading helpful apps are pretty limited.

Thanks for any help, let me know if you need more info.

[Solution] APN fix for TracFone (Straight Talk) variant when using custom ROMs topic

I have a TracFone (Straight Talk) Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 variant. (SCH-S960L d2tfnspr) Whenever I used a custom ROM made for Sprint devices LTE/Data and/or MMS never worked properly. This is because the APNs the SCH-S960L uses differs from the standard Sprint APNs. It was extremely difficult trying to figure out what the APNs were since the TracFone APNs floating around on the internet are for Straight Talk BYOP. (AT&T and T-Mobile)

Finally I discovered a solution. Someone else in my household uses the same model phone but theirs is on stock TouchWiz. Using APN Backup and Restore I backed that phone's APNs.

Now for what I did after backing up the working APNs and for you need to do to fix your phone. You're ROM must support root access. While I'm not quite sure I believe you also need a custom recovery. (You probably have one already since you flashed your custom ROM) So I would recommend using CWM or TWRP. This may be necessary to convert a user app into system app.

Once you have this download the file I've attached. Do not rename it since the app you will be using requires it to be named that way. Go to the Play store and download HiAPN. You will need to give it root access and make it a system app. It will prompt you to do so. The reason it needs all these permissions is to access the APNs. Once you've done this use the restore feature and select the file. The file you downloaded must be in the folder for HiAPN. ~/HiDroid_Net/HiAPN Once this completes, check that the Network Mode in your settings is set to LTE/CDMA/EvDo. HiAPN may change it to a GSM mode which is incorrect. Then just go ahead and restart your phone. The final step is demote HiAPN and remove it if you choose to. It's requesting many permissions and it's partially in a foreign language. (What you need to do is in English) You can use an app like Titanium Backup to remove it since you can't the normal way because it's currently a system app.

I truly hoped this helped you since it helped me. Feel free to ask questions and I will answer them to the best of my knowledge.

Wich adblock solution do you use in KK? topic

So, what adblock solution do you use? Since Google banned adblockers from the play store I have been using AdFree, but after I upgraded to KitKat it's no longer working.

Are there any other apps worth using or a hosts file provider you know of?

Thanks!

Samsung Allshare cast dongle firmware update problem solution topic

Hi, I just like to share my experience with problem connection my Galaxy S3 to my 2nd new Samsung Allshare cast dongle. As you can see, I have two Samsung Allshare cast dongles. One in the bedroom, the new one for the sitting room. The first one was bought long time ago and had been working fine. Got latest ME29 firmware. Connection is fast and no problem at all. Now, the price of this dongle has dropped so I proceeded to get myself another one for the sitting room, saving me unplugging it and plugging it, etc.. The new one has the JB version of firmware. The phone detected it without any problem but it kept on showing failed to connect message almost instantly when I tapped on the detected device on the touch screen. This is how I have ended up here at this website. After hours of reading, stock.rom, custome.rom, .pdk, etc.. I was still getting nowhere. But I don't know why. I kept on seeing in my head the blue LED showing on the dongle. Well, stupid of me, I had thrown away the packaging and with it the manual. So, I tried to download it from Samsung website. There is nothing about this dongle on the UK Samsung support website. From my experience with other worldwide hardware companies, so I tried Samsung support website in other countries. And I found a customer commented on another customer's query. So, here is the solution for those people with connection problem after updating the dongle's firmware to ME29. No harm to try this before going down the custom rom route.

After updating the firmware of the Allshare cast dongle, (by the way, my S3 has the latest jelly bean on), it will say Allshare is closed. At the same time, the red LED that was flashing would be solid red now (not flashing). Unplug the power (miniUSB) from the dongle, count to 10 and plug it back. The dongle should be showing a solid red LED now. Press and hold the button at the back of the dongle for about 15 seconds and the red LED should be flashing now. At this point, you can restart your phone just in case. Or just disable the WiFi and then enable it on your S3. Now, go to the dongle, press and hold the button for one or two seconds, the flashing red LED will change to solid BLUE. Now, go to your S3, turn on AllShare. It will detect the dongle. Tap on the detected device on your S3..... lo and behold....it connects!!!!!! Just to repeat, I have not downloaded or mod my S3 in anyway.

The blue LED is only for use in the very first time of connection. So, I guess updating the firmware constitutes a "first time connection" condition. I hope this information help. Good luck all.
