Copy/Paste issues - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Seems like today my copy and paste completely stopped working. Every time I tried copying from a browser or Reddit is fun, the app crashes. When I copy from txt, I can't paste it just says clipboard, but paste nothing. No idea what caused this, anyone have this problem before? Had my other note since release and it never did this a week with this one and just had it happen now.

Doubled gallery pics

For some reason all the pictures in my gallery have multiple copies. I really don't remember how it happened but I remember someone had this same problem with their gallery a couple months ago and fixed it but I don't remember what to actually search to fix it. Does anyone know what to do to get rid if the multiple copies?

You can use sgs tools and apply the clear_thumbs_db.txt script... That works for most people.

Did you restore your gallery from backup? That happened to me before.

Yep, it should. Mine does this too, usually after I flash a new ROM or Kernel???? That script clears it up everytime. FYI - It does reboot your phone right after running it though; freaked me out the first time

[Q] Swype 3.0

I have rooted my photon and wondering if anyone knew what to do to get swype 3.0? I know we have to delete the one that came preloaded which I believe we can do rooted right? TIA.
Just google swype beta, register, the rest is history. ;-)

Except that it isn't, because you have to disable the currently installed Swype in order to install the new one. You can't do that without deleting it, which in turn requires that you be rooted.

Which if you would have read his post you would see that he said his phone is rooted. all he would need to do is delete or rename the swype apk.

I guess my question is where do I delete the swype file(s) from?
Swype.apk is in system/app

That worked. Thanks!

I did read his post. I also read your post. I actually comprehended both of them. My reply was intended to point out that you do, in fact, have to delete the old before you bring in the new, which was entirely missing from your concise list of rock 'n roll.
Questions been answered. Can we please move on

Oh, just for anyone else doing this you also need to delete libSwypeCore.so from /system.lib
I used root explorer to do this. Swype forceclosed on me when I did a reboot but had not deleted the libswypecore so I'm hoping this was the problem.

Insufficient storage issue

I installed poweramp and then uninstalled it and now it says I have insufficient space. I can install other applications just fine. I've tried the fix for the similar titanium backup but it didn't work. I'm on tasks aokp 4.0.4

Check your data/apps folder to see if the apk is still in there even though you uninstalled.
I already tried that but I don't see anything.

i had the same problem with TiBu only. No other apps gave me that error. I ended up wiping and reflashing the rom. Its been fine since. I had no idea what caused it. I first tried to wipe data on the Play Store but that didnt fix it either.
quertyaas, you were right I found the problem. I was looking in the wrong data folder. I was using astro but found it with root explorer.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA Premium App
Nyydynasty, next instead of reflashing, just look in your data folder for a TiBu related odex file and delete it.

good to know. I didnt think of doing that - lol
I was having some intermittent BT issues anyway, so a reflash wasn't completely uncalled for

Ya, for some reason when you uninstalled it the APK still remained in the data/apps folder. The app wasn't installed but since it was still in the folder, it wouldn't let you reinstall it.
Good first step to check if this happens again. Check the data/apps folder with Root Explorer (I should have mentioned that in my initial response ).

Time Warner Cable (TWC) app for ICS and LiveTV Root workaround

Found this thread on xda's "Droid RAZR General" forum that mentions conflicting results with a workaround for the TWC app preventing the livetv feature if you have root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604411
Just want to point out that on my AT&T NOTE (Seraphim First Flight ROM) renaming the /system/app/Superuser.apk then clearing the TWC app from memory was successful. Was then able to use the TWC Live TV feature.
A script to do this automatically is probably warranted but I'm sure some of the great minds here on xda will beat me to it !
Worked fine for me on DAGr8 alpha II, no moding needed
Just wonder if any way to get live TV working when off my home wifi network.

Anyone tried "hide my root" for this? I can't test it since I don't live in a TWC services area.
Cheers

renamed it to just "SU"... as long as its not "superuser" the app wont see it
So I downloaded it, went to install and it won't let me click install, I can only click cancel?!? Install doesn't highlight or respond. I've had this happen with random apps off the amazon appstore as well. Wtf?

I've had this happen a few times as well... Fix permissions for market and clear data after having to force close the app has always worked for me.

ringtone trim?

Sites suggest that this is possible by default...or at least was. Is this not a feature built into the stock rom of the DNA? Or am I overlooking something?

Yep, except for some reason I don't have that option.
Edit: Looks like it's only for certain songs. Guess it's the file format.

Are you on stock?
Did you delete any apps or freeze them or something?
Because its 2 system apps that take care of it(see attachment, the last 2 apps in the list)

Hmm, doesn't look like I have trimit. I've debloated my phone, which might explain why. I've had the option for most other songs I've tried, though. Thanks for helping, by the way.

Debloating it would do it.

Looks like it lol. I found the same .apk that looks to be installed on your phone, having trouble installing it though using Aptoide. The phone simply shows "Installing", immediately followed by "App not installed." Any idea what's going on there?
Only works with MP3s so if you have MP4s you have to convert them first. I'm using "MediaConverter" and do it right on the phone. Still easier then on the iPhone thats for sure..

Ah, that explains it. To save time when copying over from my pc, I skipped the conversion process. Guess it doesn't like the iTunes format songs
Thanks for the help.
yes, it has to be another format than mp4
