[Q] Noob question - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI, I am using rom 101.c.0.370 with rooted, I got 2 question,
1) I installed Rom Manager, but not able to reboot with recovery mode, does my firmware version be able to support or not?
2) I tried to installed S-note V-12 Link, as I am not able to installed the rom so I try copy all the file in folder system with permission, in lib I have overwrite the file, but I can't see any icon/shortcut for snote or other app from s-app, by app "/system/app mover", I can see those apps is in system but how am I able to launch the apps?

as far as i know there's only one way to get root and recovery on the 370 firmware at the moment there is a thread in the android development forum i cant remember the name of it but ill update this post when i find it.

[Q] new to android (help)

hi im new to android phones
last week i got galaxy s2
now i found some great apps byt when i downloaded them i didnt found .apk app
instead i found few folders and files and i dont know how to instal them
should i root my galaxy?
Form where did you download them.. try using market app or download from apktop.com or android-market.co .. Also do you have System/app/ and META-INF folders in a zip file. If so you will have to install it in recovery by using install zip from sdcard option..

what app are you referring to?
if its a flash zip you need a custom recovery such as CWM or Amon Ra
there is no specific app ( i downloaded many app that was non an .apk)
yes its a flash zip
cmw comes after rooting?
thanks for your patience but im new to the world of android
So, flash cwm recovery and try to install from there.. if you flash cwm recovery you can even backup and restore your rom...
you need to root first before you can install a custom recovery.
usually system apps get install via flash zip. you sure the apk is not zipped up? sometimes you need to in zip to get the apk.
thank you all for your replies
the apps im talking about like app monster or other app that need a root
is there a safe way to root the galaxy s2 without changing the rom or the kernel
ie. i just want to be able to flash zip files ( cracked app)
and stay on my rom and kernel
and will i be able to receive apdates for the kies???
TO root s2 please visit this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Sometime there will be .apk file directly inside zip file (this is done to reduce size of app) you should not try to install them from recovery only install zip file from recovery having sytem and Meta-inf folder inside the zip file.
Yes you will be able to receive updates via kies unless you don't flash a custom kernel...
thank you all
Hi! I just got my first Android Phone.
The HTC Inspire.
I've been told I could speed up this phone but I'm also curious to know what else I could do with it?
I used to have an iPhone and I would just change the theme and stuff...
So, I suppose my question(s) is/are;
1. How can I speed up my phone?
2. What can I do with my phone?
3. Is there a site where I can browse custom themes for my phone?
4. how do I add custom ringtones/ringback
thanks for taking the time for reading this.

To speed up your phone try v6 supercharger. Search xda forum and you will get there ..
You can do a lot of things with your phone like rooting it to make changes to system as well a ls access hidden system files and also to install app like app monster, titanium backup that are very handy ..
Not only this you can even flash/install custom Rom/kernel that are much better and optimized than stock one provided by HTC..
For more details Google root your phone model and custom kernels for your phone model ..
To get themes and more info foe your phone try to find your phone sub forum in xda forum or just Google .. to set custom ringtones you can select set as ringtone on your music player it copy ogg file to /system/media/audio (for which you need to root and use root explorer or similar app) and then go to settings.and choose your copies file..

What is App Monster? "flash/install custom Rom/kernel" ??
I'll try and find my phone in the sub-fourms
App Monster is an application that lets you manage your installed applications. For example you can backup apps and batch restore them.

[SOLVED] I need a favor (if it's possible). [CWM Related]

So I was bored at work and did something stupid. Now I'm wondering if there is some way to fix it without having to flash my entire phone.
Is there someway a single file can be deleted using a CWM update zip. The file is the ported version of google now and having installed it using root explorer it is stopping my phone from booting entirely.
The file is "system/app/velvet.apk".
If anyone is experienced at CWM and knows how this can be achieved then I would be extremely grateful.
SOLUTION: Flashed a stock nandroid backup of the system, managing not to lose my data.

I would imagine you could use adb to delete the file. Install the Android SDK on your computer and use adb shell to delete the offending file from bootloader mode. Havent tried it before myself, but I believe that's what adb is for amongst other things?
p.s. You should post this in Q&A forum and you might get a better response. This is not dev related.

Ok will try it at work, or at home. Thanks for the suggestion. Will post in the Q&A forum as well.
Velvet.apk isn't that the voice reg. From jellybean,that shouldn't stop your phone from booting.the app would only FC.
Adb or reflash as suggested above
Tell someone to make it cwm flashable. Boot to recovery and flash. Make a new thread or ask for this a mod to rename it.
Something like this " make velvet.apk cwm flashable".

[ULTIMAROM] Reflashing some apps

Sorry for posting here, I do not have access to the development forum and cannot post my question in the UltimaROM thread so here goes.
I have flashed Ultima on my phone and it is a great Rom. However, I have flashed the Nexus 4's camera app and would like to reflash the original samsung camera app. Is there a way to do that while leaving everything else on my phone intact?

I have also flashed the n4 camera but it installed as a separate file. Anyway here is the SamsungCamera.apk:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qam7q2or6i5b6pi/SamsungCamera.apk
Copy it to /system/app with any root file explorer and change its permissions (use this guide if you need help - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857648)
edit: You can extract and install most of the apps from the .zip file of the ROM if you need to.

Thanks for your response,
I have copied the filed and fixed permissions and rebooted the phone but I still can't see it in the menu or in the app manager. The camera app is still the nexus one
If you are using Ultima, then you should have the ultima OTA app installed in your phone. open it and browse the Download section, there should be a zip for the Camera AROMA installer.
Download the zip, it should be inside either the internal SD or external SD if you have one mounted. folder name should be UltimaROM. Flash it in CWM and it should give you an option to choose between the stock SGS3 camera and the 4.2 one.

Thanks, I am trying to download changes I want to add but I am getting download failed everytime
Anyone knows what's the issue with ULTIMA? Why can't I download packages from the OTA app?

[Q] Z5 Mini 4.4.2 installing Gapps

After alot of searching and not managing anything I'm coming here to ask for help.
I have updated my z5 mini to version 4.4.2 and im trying to get the gapps on it, I dont have a custom recovery so i cant just flash them (would be to easy).
What I have done so far:
- got root using "towelroot"
- installed superuser
- enabled usb-debugging
I mostly find zips to flash the gapps but i cant do that (no custom recovery) and the stock recovery wont flash them.
ADB sees the devices.
Perhaps someone can help me, if you need more information just ask me.
Greetings Netieb
Push zip via adb side load else manually copy paste files using root file manager and give
0644 permission to each files you copied

Installed Lollipop now can't see root directory

Hi all, I know the sticky says not to ask about rooting in this thread but since I have installed my new rom (lollipop) my google play store doesn't work or the browser. I have down loaded the GAPPs file and placed it into my root directory. When I go into recovery mode and TRWN starts I go into install I can't see the files as it is greyed out.
