Hi all, first of all, I understand this is my first post and I'm already asking for help and I understand I may have posted this in the incorrect thread, however, today I purchased a the Arnova 10.1 for my fiancée, I had a look at the arctools I see people talking about on forums here and there but it just doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong, am I looking at the wrong forums or searching the wrong things for my tablet.
Basically I'm just hoping someone else has got the same tablet and knows what they're doing, if this is you, I just want to know if I can successfully get the market running and some secondary launcher (ADW, Launcher Pro etc) running without any hickups, also, is root possible? Can CM7 be successfully be installed on the 10.1 and any other cool stuff wouldn't go a miss...
Arctools works, atleast worked for me.
I am like a noob on this tablet. Got it like 2 days back. Turned on wifi, went into arctools, selected the version stock with root, then clicked download, and then it went about installing it. I remember having to leave it at some junk screen while it rebooted twice before showing me home screen on third boot up.
Then I realized one thing: the google apps that weren't installed were installed at this time, with the reason being now the tablet is rooted.
So maybe cos your tablet isn't rooted yet, that app is kinda useless. Some options didn't work for me either, but I am happy it installed a custom rooted rom and installed the base market app and other apps.
I am currently using GoLauncher.
Installed Tibu, and deleted/froze the apps I don't want like stock launcher, etc.
So here is a question...
I have been updating roms on my devices (TP, Samsung Galaxy S devices, etc)for the last year or so.
My question is why do some of my devices (TP to be exact) take advantage of the Google Backup/Restore feature where as my other devices (Galaxy S - Captivate & Galaxy S Wifi 5.0) do not. I mean, I check the boxes during initial setup to allow Google to backup/restore my settings but why do some work and some don't?
When I flash new roms on my TP (CM9) I notice that as soon as I setup my Google account, it starts downloading all my apps that are associated with my tablet. Not 100% but close enough where I have to hunt for only a handful manually. Of course all the sideloaded apps and Amazon App store apps don't load automatically but that's ok. I would then use TIBU to restore data on some of these apps to get the TP back to operational state.
Now, on the other hand, my Captivate (ICS 4.0.3 - ICSSGS RC4.2) and my Galaxy S WiFi 5.0s (GB - Stock rooted and GB - 2.3.6 Custom) do not start the auto restore after the account setup.
Why is this different between devices? Is it rom dependant?
Anyone know?
I noticed this too on my EVO when I used specific roms. For one of my roms, the developer eventually fixed the issue a few releases down the road. That's all I know of that though.
Generally, most rom developers prefer you to use something other than Googs backup. Titanium is a good example. Works well w/ backups, and restore. Alot of apps that are generally for rooting are not in market. Just my opinion...

I get that... that was my understanding and my experience so far... I just always wondered about the purpose of the Google Backup/Restore during initial setup since it never did anything... until the last few rom updates on my TP. The first time I noticed was with XRON GB rom... it was downloading apps (not all) even though I had deleted them all... odd I thought... and then I saw it with CM9 A.5 and A.6... and now with A2... and I am starting to like it... I use my tablet with apps loaded. I don't keep it for just testing...
I do use TIBU but I find it more assuring to install apps fresh from the Market after each update. This consumes a lot of time.
With the latest release, I was able to get my setup with all the apps, desktop configuration, widgets, etc... in 30 mins... fresh to operational in 30 mins instead of 3-4 hours that used to take for me to recreate my settings... I am a bit anal about how things need to look so I would take the time... now it seems I don't have to as much.
I always do a cwm backup before flashing a new rom. After flashing, I do a restore data. This gets all my apps back. It's worked fine so far.
I really dont understand this. I have erased and installed this ROM MULTIPLE times. I just switched from SHIFT AOSP ICS3.2.1 (DHacker) to Liquid smooth roms 3.2 release with MR4 Support. Every time i go to google play it tells me multiple apps wont work with my phone. Is there ANY way to disable google play doing this? Its the same apps, some of them i have downloaded the APK to install them but then google play wont update them and when they come out with an update ill have to go find the apk all over again which is annoying. I really dont understand i went from a CM7/AOSP based rom to another CM7/AOSP based rom and it hates it.
I had the same problem once, never figure out why. It just got fixed by itself I guess. But try rebooting the phone my best guess ...
By the way liquid 3.2 its my main Rom and daily driver too.

Go under apps and clear data

I think this has something to do with your ROM being Sense or AOSP. Try backing up your ROM, switching to sense, run GP and see if they show up there, then a fresh install of your AOSP ROM.

So I finally figured it out. Rooted a friends phone and had the same problem. Come to find out it's all resolution based. I changed the resolution back to stock, clear data, waited a little after a reboot, clear data again and I was now compatible. There should be an override.
Yeah I was going to say when you started this friend don't mess with the DPI because it breaks the market.
This doesn't belong in development it belongs in general
So I was using the CM11 mod for my fascinate for about 2 months. The first 2 weeks of using it, it was awesome. After that, my RAM was going down for no reason, and i had some problems but i could fix it by optimizing my device.
A few days ago, my phone kept crashing. I kept on getting messages that Trebuchet had failed, Clock had failed, Play Store Services have failed, etc. Today morning, almost everything on my phone failed. It would just keep reloading the home page. I restarted my device several times, but after that nothing would really load.My battery had about 93% charge and i went to school. When it was 3rd period in school, my battery was 15%. I had no applications running. I just turned it off
When i got home, it would load but everything was slow. i optimized, cleared cache and everything but it wouldn't work. When i open an app, it takes a long time to load. The home screen, and menu pop us normally, but the apps are slow. I really dont know what to do and what ROM to move onto next. Im not getting a new phone for a while, and i really need help.
What ROM should i flash? I need something stable, that wont have problems like this. I also like to use Facebook a lot.
Please help me with my problem because i really want my phone to work. I bought the phone for $200 and it was a bad decision, since all these problems started occurring. What ROM would be the best for me?
@samsung striker
Wow, you have a lot going in there...
Hopefully when you say cm11, it's the version from unjust 06/04/14
That thing is ridiculously stable...
I'll start off with this, Facebook and any fb messenger apps are huge memory hogs.
Next, i saw you mention optimize several times, what program are you using to do that with?
The particular problem i see with the fascinate right now is browsing and using social media sites fill up the cache folder quickly. When that happens the phone well act like you have described.
You can easily fill the cache on one or two days depending on how heavily you browse.
At a minimum, what i think you need to do is boot into recovery and wipe cache and davlik.
Then reboot and let it rebuild things, if things don't smooth out within 15 minutes of booting up, go ahead and reboot again to see if it clears up.
It's very possible if you filled up the cache it probably tried to write information somewhere else and why it freaking out
I would recommend ever other day wiping cache from in recovery and you should be real safe with things and the ROM would be very stable.
If you have done that and are still having issues,,,
Or if you at ready to sacrifice losing your call history and text history and apps etc,,, Go ahead in recovery and do the factory reset,,, it will wipe your apps and stored data (not download items like music or zip files) & put everything back just like you did a fresh install of cm11, so you have to set up all your preferences and gapps and other apps you want all over again
.
Yea i use Facebook a lot. I like to download a lot of apps and most of the time it works fine, but sometimes these problems start to occur, followed by a lot of lag.
When i optimize my device, i optimize it with this program called "Smart Booster." I also use this other app called "Fast Reboot."
Anyways, ill try what you suggested and see if it works well. If it doesn't work out for me, do you have any other Rom's in mind that are better for me?
Thanks.
I had the same issue pop up a week or two ago. Cleared cache and Dalvik on a semi-regular basis (although I probably browse less than it sounds like you do) but it didn't do too much for me. Ended up on the most recent CM 10.1 nightly and only installed the apps I use regularly instead of my usual restore of every app that had a TiBu backup. It's been working great for me over the past week or so. Personally, I couldn't handle the data drops on CM 11 any longer either, so CM 10.1 has been a good solution on that front.

How did you go back to CM 10.1 Nightly? Did you just download and flash it? Im worried that somethings gonna happen since im going to JB from KK. I wanted to try the PAC man Rom.

Also, Can you please post the link for the CM 10.1 Nightly? i cant seem to find it.. Thanks
Grab the latest nightly from the CyanogenMod site - I PM'd you the link since I can't post them here.
I booted into recovery, wiped data/cache/dalvik and installed the zip. It failed, I rebooted back into recovery, and installed the zip again and it worked without a hitch. Very similar to flashing CM 11.

Yea thanks for the help
So i flashed it, and it was working pretty good. I downloaded a few apps such as Messenger, Kik, TB, Smart Lock, and Clash of clans. It was working well, until i used Facebook Messenger, which made it lag just a little. I used clash of clans, and it did lag a little so i had to get Smart Booster, and optimize.
I like to download a lot of apps so im not sure how my device would handle it, since im experiencing a little lag from these few apps. Did you download similar apps as me? Also, do you like to download a lot of apps? Im just asking just to see how well your Fascinate runs compared to mine.
Again, thanks for the help. My Fascinate runs better now
Im gonna try to get a custom kernel and see what happens.
I found that when I installed ALL of my apps that the phone would slow down significantly. I just have the essentials now - a few games, a few social apps, and some other items, well below what I had earlier. The Fassy didn't respond too well when I had a ton of apps on there, so I scaled back and it seems to be working a lot better for me. The single-core can only handle so much - hopefully Devil or another kernel will help you out if you need additional apps!

Yea that's the bad thing about the fascinate, and i don't think there are any kernels for Cm 10.1 because I searched online, and couldn't find anything.
Check out HHP's thread in the General section - plenty of JB kernels to choose from. I think Devil was the most widely liked from that group if I remember correctly.

I haven't used my tablet for quite some time as I've had access to other, newer devices. However, now that the world is in lockdown I could really use it. The first thing I (tried) to do was install You Tube Vanced w/ microG, which went off without a hitch but Vanced absolutely will not load. It just spins, and spins until I stop it. I updated and tried to launch youtube standard as well and it took about 3-4 minutes to load as did every app I tried, except Titanium backup for some reason, so obviously there's a problem somewhere. The last time I fired it everything launched and connected immediately, and that was at the gyms less than optimum public wifi.
I'm guessing the main issue is that no current apps work with Android 4.2.2 so I'm most likely screwed huh? Any diagnostic apps I could run?
Well this might be important. I completely forgot that I paid to have the tablet rooted when I first got it, hence Titanium backup. According to Verify Root I have root access but no busybox if that's important.
Somebody posted about the same tablet and issues last year and the solution was installing a new ROM, I believe marshmallow, which I have no idea how to do and the instructions may as well be in Greek. I hate to even ask but is there a installation guide for the non-savvy?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-10/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3342017
Hell I don't even know what I'm upgrading from, maybe kitkat?
Now I really need your help guys.
Thanks
