texts: How can multitasking experience be improved on Android tablets?

texts:
I have a 10 inch Nexus tablet that I like to carry around while traveling. I can also connect it to a bluetooth keyboard, and this almost allows me to do everything a laptop can, but there are some major annoyances.

For example, I want to do web development while traveling. I can SSH into a remote server and edit the code there, and open the page on the Chrome app. However, Android only lets me have one app open at a time, so whenever I need to switch between two documents, it's very inefficient since I'm constantly closing and re-opening my apps.

I would like to use my Nexus 10 as my primary computer for working. How can my multitasking experience be improved?

texts: When I try to sync with Google Photos, it stops after a few photos

texts:
I am using the Google Photos app on my OnePlus 3 android phone. Each time I open it, Photos starts backing up (e.g. "Backing Up - 734 photos left"). This number will drop by 10 or 20 and then just stop. I have left it for a long time and it never changes. If I then close the app and open again, it will do another 10 or 20 and then stall again. So it is very slow and tedious. I am backing up to Google Drive, which has plenty of free room. Anything obvious I can do to fix?

I have posted on a Google forum but got no replies.

texts: How to change active screen area / change height of screen?

texts:
I am trying to adjust the height  of the active area of the screen as shown  in image, by turning off blue areas to hide camera hole and round corners as I don't like the appearance.
The built in setting for hiding the camera only turns off the red area so the corners are still rounded.
I have tried using ADB overscan command to reduce height of the display, but this just moves the items on the screen without actually turning off those areas of the display. I want the blue areas to be completely disabled, which should be possible on OLED display.
The apps I have found all require rooted phone.
Any way to do this without root?

I had to wipe data (not internal storage) as well then flash the rom after to get the phone to boot. My question is, can I restore app data (and potentially the apps as well) ? The rom and android version is the same, Oxygen OS 3.6.1

texts: Can android device issue adb commants to itself?

texts:
I made a simple shell (actually windows batch) script that automates a task on android phone. It can be ran on any computer. I thought that if I convert the batch to linux sh script, I could issue the commands without adb shell before them.

So this (.exe added for clarity):

adb.exe shell sleep 1

becomes this:

sleep 1

Well it works with sleep in particular, but not with sendevent. I made a script to press and release focus button:

#!/bin/sh
# Simply send two key events to see if it works (spoiler: it doesn't)
sendevent /dev/input/event0 1 212 1
sendevent /dev/input/event0 0 0 0
sleep 1
sendevent /dev/input/event0 1 212 0
sendevent /dev/input/event0 0 0 0

But I cannot execute the sendevent commands:

That's ridiculous. Obviously my phone is capable of executing the commands from external source, so why the hell not from itself? Am I going to need a computer to work with the shell?

What can I do to issue adb commands to my own phone? (I am not using rooted device. Android developers made it too much painful to achieve.)

I'm running 5.1 and have the stock data monitor/usage widget on my homescreen.

My problem is that the quantity displayed on the widget is completely unrelated to (the correct) quantity displayed in the actual data usage portion of the settings menu.

Basically I have gone into a new billing cycle, the settings menu has acknowledged this and so displays 188Mb used whereas the widget displays 1.4Gb used. (For reference, so that you can rule it out, the WLAN usage is on a different schedule and is on 17Gb)

The problem also persists after removing then re placing the widget.

Any ideas?

texts: Nexus S 4G: Use wifi for LAN, 3G/4G for WAN?

texts:
I'm developing a remote control app that will use wifi to communicate with my car stereo. The car stereo has ethernet, and I have the ethernet wired to a wireless AP in my trunk. This works great, but since the phone has a wifi connection, it wants to use it to reach the internet, which it can't do when my car is away from home.

What I'd like to do is develop a script that I can run to route LAN traffic through wifi, but WAN (internet) traffic through the cell data connection. I dug a bit into this issue, and found this, but it doesn't seem to work, even after adjusting the routing table with a default route through the rmnet0 interface and bringing up the rmnet0 interface with ifconfig.

It kinda seems like something in the OS is disabling the 3G hardware when wifi is active. Is that a known behavior, and if so, does anyone have any pointers on how I can circumvent it? I found this post where someone got working on a different phone. Can this be done on the Nexus S?


texts: How to recover application data after deleting it from the settings menu?

texts:
I wanted to cancel a download, which I did until now by long-tapping on it, then "App Info" button and killing the download manager and deleting its data.

However, this time, the "App Info" button opened up the app settings for Chrome and not for the download manager, which I only noticed after I deleted all the data!

Is there a way to undo that or at least somehow extract my bookmarks from the (Huawei Y3300 mobile phone's) internal storage device?

Note: By "app settings" I mean the page where you can "Stop Now" "Uninstall" "Disable" "Delete All Data" "Clear Cache" "Reset Default Associations" for given app.

Note: I suspect the cause for this mistake is that for "normal" downloads the download manager opens up if tapping on "App Info" but this was a "Save Video" download, for which apparently Chrome is still responsible.

texts:
As I'm trying to make a script to restart radio signal and I'm not using usb cable for adb, I need to turn off my mobile signal WITHOUT using airplane (because I'm using Wifi Hotspot and Wifi ADB).

Is there a solution for that?
I have root and wifi adb running smoothly... and I have seen some solution as disabling mobile data and so on but this is not enough for me. My carrier sometimes stop providing me mobile connection and the only way to get active mobile data is to restart the radio signal (just as I'd do if I type ##4636*#*# and press the "turn off/on radio" button).

Also if possible, after turning off radio signal, I'd need to wait +- 10 seconds before going on again (I suppose the command for that is sleep 10).

Thanks :D

texts: Samsung Galaxy S2 can't transfer pics, shuts down by itself, does not charge

texts:
My Samsung Galaxy S2 (not rooted) has all sorts of problems.

It started when I tried to take some pics today. I would take a pic, and it would shut down.

I tried to get pics off my phone by syncing it with my computer. The computer said the files had errors, and asked if I wanted to skip those files.

Then, the phone started shutting itself down for no reason.

When I turned it back on, it said low battery. So, I plugged it in. About 30 mins later, it said it had 100% battery (I'm sure it didn't). When I turned it on and tried to use it, it would act like it had low battery again and shut down.

Now, it's getting worse. I can't get it to stay turned on for more that 5 seconds. It shuts down straight away.

I could see that the phone still had the pics on it. I'm hoping it can be fixed, so I can take it to someone to try and get the pics off the phone. My new baby pics are on there as well.

Any ideas as to what it is? I'm hoping a simple battery change will fix it, but I'm not sure why it says it's charged when I know it's not.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

**Missing details....

Thanks. Yes, I've removed the battery for up to an hour. I was originally charging on AC power. I had to use the phone after being charged for about 30 mins. It showed it had around 75% power. I went to use the camera, it shut off and when I turned it back on it showed very lowe battery. When I plugged it back in and turned it on it showed 90% power. When I went to use it again it showed low power then turned off. Turned it back on and it showed 60% power. I left it charging and in a few mins. it showed 100% on charge. If its on USB or AC power it will get to the lock screen. I can unlock it then it shuts down after 5-10 seconds. Doesn't matter if I'm doing anything on it or not. If its not on power it doesn't complete the start up sequence. Only gets to the start of the "music" after you see the "S".


texts: Why can't the Sprint HTC One use GSM ROMs?

texts:
Everywhere I've looked, I've found that the HTC One physical hardware (USA) is the same regardless of the carrier--all models of the USA phone containing both CDMA and GSM radios.

If this is the case, why can't the Sprint variant of the HTC One be hacked to work properly (see issues with Sprint-variant SIM unlocking here) with USA GSM networks like AT&T? Or use GSM  ROMs for that matter if all the USA hardware has both radios.

I ask because I made the mistake of buying a Sprint HTC One on eBay with the intent of unlocking to use with my existing AT&T account. NOTE: I am not talking about 4G/LTE data, only 2G and 3G.

texts: MIUI 7/8 has no way to disable the global Google Spell Check

texts:
I am the happy owner of a brand new Xiaomi Redmi 3 Prime. It comes with the MIUI 7, and there is a free upgrade to MIUI 8 via the built-in upgrade software.

My only complaint, so far, is that it comes with a utterly annoying spell checker that applies globally to all text inputs, and has no user-friendly way to disable it, as you'll see in the following link. As I found out, this is a problem in the MIUI system. I've tried all the solutions from this thread, but to no avail:

Trying to set the spell_checker_enabled to 0 requires su, and it says su couldn't be found, either from Terminator Emulator for Android and from ADB remote shell.
Trying to set the Google Keyboard language to QWERTY worked, untill I decided to disable this Keyboard, because I won't be using it.
Disabling Google Keyboard Autocorrection doesn't work.
In the Google Keyboard app detail from system configuration, it doesn't let me disable it.

Would be really glad to disable it.

Side note: this is irrelevant to this question, but as I tried to install minimal ADB and Fastboot on my Ubuntu, it suggested me to run apt-get -f install because there were unmet dependencies. After I did it and rebooted my laptop, my graphical UI was broken and I've just installed a fresh Ubuntu on it.


texts: v6 Supercharger with Multitask Manager and Tag Home Launchers

texts:
I would like to make both launchers Hard To Kill.

Tag Home takes way too long to load from cold start because it has to load ~200 app tags from a database into memory. However, it only occupies 8MB itself. However, it usually dies after a while.
Multitask Manager is also lightweight, and I need it to switch from app to app. I use this as my 'default' launcher. I open up Tag Home from Multitask Manager.

The problem is, v6 supercharger seems to only recognize Multitask Manager as my Homescreen Launcher. The actual launcher -- Tag Home -- is ignored.

Is there any script/method to make Tag Home 'Hard To Kill' while maintaining Multitask Manager as my default launcher?

texts: Can I install any file browser if I don't already have one

texts: Ok. Long story short I'm an idiot. I have a rooted Kyocera Hydro, with no recovery(no access to cpu to port my own). I deleted stock file and internet browsers. I also have no access to the play store because im only on wifi and the signal bars are grey. In an attempt to fix that I did a factory reset. So, since no signal, cannot sign in to google account, no file or internet browser. I have all my apps backed up on the sd cards, and other phones to bluetooth files. By changing .apk to .jpg I can send es file over, but cannot change back to install. am I missing something. Is there any way to install es remotely with out a cpu. Oh and I can't flash stock rom cause no recovery mode. Help?

I know how to unlock. It's through fastboot oem unlock.

I know why the manufactures place a lock. It's for security reasons.

But what is the lock? Is it a file in the system, saying "Hey, the bootloader is locked! Delete me if you want to unlock!", or a registery key, or an appsetting?

Or is it possible to unlock without running "fastboot oem unlock", can I send the unlock command by myself without using "fastboot oem unlock"?

I was wondering if anyone would be of any assistance to me.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4  (Google Edition) smartphone.

I have recently setup KNOX for business use, and safely connecting to servers etc.
However, my keyboard does not work at all in the KNOX application, but it works fine in Personal Home?

Does anyone have any ideas of what this may be?
I am using Google Keyboard, since I do not really like the stock Samsung Keyboard.

Thanks in advance,

texts: Monitor activites of an app and see what it is sending over the internet

texts:
Few months ago, I installed an automation app called MacroDroid, but after few days I uninstalled it. Now today, when I was checking apps in /system/app I stumbled upon an app called MacroDroidSystemHelper (com.arlosoft.macrodroid.helper)

I had granted the MacroDroid superuser access when I was using it so it may have made the app that I found today a system app.

I tried to launch it but it doesn't have an interface.

While checking its permission I came to know that it has the connectivity permission, hence, I have to find out what data it is sending to internet. How can I monitor its activities?

texts: Google's Huawei ban, how will this hit Huawei, since Andorid is open source?

texts:
So, with the latest news of Google blocking Huawei from Android updates, what does this actually mean?

Since Android is open source (via AOSP), Huawei should be perfectly able to continue using Android, and even create their own derivative from it, as the article says.

The only thing that Google could do, is disallow their Apps suite, with the play store (as again per the article). But Huawei should be in a strong enough position to build their own app store and provide their own apps. (Could they use Open GApps?)

In the end, this will force Huawei in a position as a strong competitor to Google, especially, but not exclusively, in their China home market.

So, how should this ban actually hurt Huawei?

Notes:

To keep this question focused on Android, I explicitly exclude the use of what Huawei calls their "Backup OS", but just focus on which parts of Android could be "banned".
Also, I would expect answers to apply to any Android phone manufacturer, not Huawei specifically (Or is there something special about Android on Huawei devices I did miss?)

texts: Whatsapp doesn't work over 3G,everything else works fine

texts:
A friend has a factory fresh, unrooted Samsung Galaxy S Duos, and except for Whatsapp every other internet accessing app works fine on a 3G or EDGE connection.

She has un/reinstalled Whatsapp several times. It works fine over Wifi. She's no power user, so any solution involving rooting the phone is not an option.

To clarify - there is nothing wrong with 3G or EDGE on her phone, since she can browse the internet and use other such apps perfectly fine.

Update - She's on Vodafone, as I and thousands of people in India are, and no, Vodafone is not blocking Whatsapp for any reason.

Searching for solutions on Google only leads to 'No shit, Sherlock!' type answers with genius level solutions like 'check whether your 3G connection is working' or 'get the latest version of Whatsapp'.

So is there a workaround?

texts: How to install a ROM with CWM when /data (and /sdcard) are encrypted and I can't reformat them?

texts:
I used to run CyanogenMod 9.1 with device encryption on my Galaxy S3, and decided today that I wanted to try a CM 10 nightly.

A problem with device encryption that I didn't know about before is that it's impossible to turn off. ClockworkMod Recovery (5.8.4.3) can't mount the /data partition (and, by extension, /sdcard). This means that I can't use CWM to factory reset or install a new update.zip, since the update.zip must lie on the internal sdcard.

Trying "choose zip from sdcard" gives "E:Can't mount /sdcard/" and choosing "apply /sdcard/update.zip" gives "E:Can't mount /sdcard/update.zip". This happens even if I've used adb to put the update.zip in the /sdcard mountpoint.

Factory resetting from CWM gives these two errors: "Error mounting /data!" and "Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!". Factory resetting from CM9 didn't work. I've since tried to flash CM10 with MobileOdin, which didn't work, and now I can only boot to CWM.

Does anyone have any idea about how I could mount /data or otherwise get a working ROM?

I've taken backups of everything. The tools I suppose could help me, but I haven't tried because I'm new at this and don't want to hard-brick my phone, are fastboot and heimdall.

TL;DR: S3 only boots to CWM, but CWM won't mount /data and so can't flash zips.

My screen does not work after replacing the digitizer (it's just white...)

Before I go buying more parts, I'd like to eliminate software issues (apparently this can be caused by the device not wanting to accept new parts, this seems strange but I want to investigate it).

So, I would like to flash stock to bring it back to the beginning, and if it's still broken, it's still broken. Don't understand why the screen would have broken, since all I did was unplug it and plug it back in...

So, if I flash stock and unroot via adb, will this turn off usb debugging? If it does, I'll be done for as obviously can't turn it back on without the screen working...

I want to see its contents so

I have converted it into raw image.
Created a new directory
Trying to mount the raw image on to the directory

using the following commands:

$ simg2img sparse.img sparse_raw.img
$ mkdir raw
$ sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop sparse_raw.img raw

First two commands run fine and I can see sparse_raw.img generated of size larger than sparse.img.

Last command failed with an error:

  wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop27, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

I think that may be the sparse_raw.img is not an ext4 image but how can I sure about it?

I have tried to mount it as

ext2, ext3 or without -t
without -o loop
but nothing works.

Please suggest a way to fix it.

texts: How to force sleep after a timeout regardless of app?

texts:
I'm letting my little kid use an old Android phone (Galaxy S5) as a camera. I've got the camera app pinned so he can't do anything except take pics. He hits Home to wake it up and then can tap the screen to take pics to his heart's content.

The problem is that the camera app keeps the phone awake and screen on, bypassing whatever the phone's global options are. Apparently the screen stays on forever, too. I'd like it to have a normal timeout so kiddo doesn't need to remember to hit the power button. (Worst thing in the world for him is to have him pick up his 'camera' only to find it has a dead battery, right?)

Unfortunately there's no option in the Samsung camera app to change this. The system sleep setting is ignored. I tried a few apps that will auto-change screen timeouts based on app, but it has no effect - the camera app overrides this. I tried a couple other camera apps, but they have the same result. Anyway I like the Samsung camera - it's really easy for my kid to manage.

How can I force this phone to go to sleep after x seconds of inactivity, even when a camera app is running?

Is this a job for Tasker? (I haven't tried that yet - really complex app last I messed with it.)


texts: My own signed APK now warning of "unrecognised developer" when installing locally

texts:
This warning has started showing up literally in the last day or so, whereas previously my own APK (signed with a keystore/password that I have successfully used on currently released software) would just install locally without fuss.

What has changed over the last few days?

EDIT: I suspect it is something that's changed in the play store, instead of something I've done, because I went back and tried installing from some previous APKs I built and deployed without incident a few days ago, and they are also showing the same error.

texts: adb doesn't detect my Defy (Motorola MB525) after I call adb kill-server (rageagainstthecage exploit). Any ideas?

texts:
I'm trying cyanogen's mod approach to root my Defy. I can do adb shell, it works as intended. But after I run adb kill-server and try an adb shell I get

error: device not found

It seems my phone just decides to not be connected anymore when I call kill-server. I need to physically reboot it and start everything again.

This is the complete command session I did:

[~]$ adb devices
List of devices attached
0A3AA8D5195599849BN device

[~]$ adb shell
$ exit
[~]$ adb kill-server
[~]$ adb start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
[~]$ adb devices
List of devices attached

[~]$ adb shell
error: device not found
[~]$

This is driving me nuts. I've searched about this problem, but there simply isn't a solution in entire Google's database. I want to use this rageagainstthecage root approach because I can see the exploit source, I'm a little nervous about using something in my personal phone that I don't know what it does (an explanation about rageagainstthecage, and a compact explanation)...

Anyone here at SE network have seen a similar problem - or have a suggestion?

I'm doing this in a Macbook Pro machine (OS X 10.6.8). My phone has Android 2.2.1.

(PS: Even without using the exploit, just doing adb kill-server and adb start-server, my cell phone isn't shown anymore on adb devices, thus receiving error: device not found. So this seens to be a problem with adb kill-server)

some random apps and some successfully installed but the majority didn't.

I was running Android ver.4.1.1 and rooted and decided to upgrade to 4.1.2.

I upgraded successfully and rooted again but nothing changed.

I have:

5.34Gb/11.07GB available in the internal storage
24.61GB/29.81GB on the SD card and
0.92GB/1.75GB RAM.

I rebooted, cleared the RAM, unmounted SDCard and re-mounted but nothing worked.

Please help!


texts: replacing twrp with recovery.img fails for nexus 6

texts:
I have a nexus 6 with TWRP and a stock ROM (6.0.0). I decided to update via OTA. However, for this I need to flash the recovery.img as stated in this anwser. Following the instructions there I've done the following steps (i'm usign linux):

Downloaded the factory image from here for Nexus 6 (6.0.0)
extracted the recovery.img and moved it to a separate folder
booted into bootloader and connected with my workstation.

the device was detected correctly:

ola@thinkstation:~$ fastboot devices
ZX1G427VQJ  fastboot
ola@thinkstation:~$

I flashed the recovery.img and rebooted

everything went fine:

ola@thinkstation:~$ fastboot devices
ZX1G427VQJ  fastboot
ola@thinkstation:~$ fastboot flash recovery /home/ola/temp/android/recovery.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (8915 KB)...
OKAY [  0.351s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [  0.298s]
finished. total time: 0.648s
nicolas@thinkstation:~$ fastboot reboot
rebooting...

finished. total time: 0.001s
ola@thinkstation:~$

I then rebooted and tried to download the 6.0.1 via OTA. The download was successful. However, after restarting and the beginning of installing I get an Android icon and the message "Error". That's it. I then tried to boot in to bootloader and do a recovery mode where I get an error "No Command". So I reflushed the recovery.img leading to the same result. Normal booting works perfectly fine. Whats causing the error?


texts: Jelly Bean (4.1.2) Support for Proxy Auto-Configuration PAC Files?

texts:
I'm managing Samsung Galaxy Note I & IIs running Android 4.1.2 and would like to direct network/browser traffic to a URL filtering service through a proxy server. Can someone confirm (with supporting reference material please) or deny (with supporting reference material please) that Jelly Bean (specifically Android v4.1.2) has support for PAC files to configure proxy settings? I've had more then one person state Jelly Bean has "basic PAC support" yet I can't find anything on the subject.  The goal would be to autodeploy a PAC file onto the devices.

The browsers I want to redirect to the proxy are Internet V4.1.2 (default with version 4.1.2) and Chrome V 25.0.1364.169. Do either or both of these support URL definition of a server based PAC file?  ie. Can they use a URL pointer to the PAC config?

If PAC file support does exist where does the PAC file need to be installed? How is it typically installed? Can someone point me to documentation that reviews the PAC file support.

Thanks for the time and consideration.  Its appreciated.

texts: How did my application database end up on the SD card?

texts:
I have a question regarding database location on Android devices.

We don't specify where to install the app(no installLocation in manifest), but we see that ./data/data/{package-name}/databases are ending up on SD cards. On the Android doc it said that "When your application is installed on external storage, the .apk file is saved on external, but all private user data, databases.... are saved on the internal device memory."

My question is:

If the app was first installed on internal and the user decided to move it, does the databases and other user data also get moved to external SD card?
If no, then is there any other possible scenario as to why the database is now in external?

Any help/insight is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

According to source i have read, they mention:

pgpt block - carries information about the markup, but even if you
wipe it, at the end of the memory there is a backup block "sgpt" which
also contains markup and it cannot be formatted! Accordingly, at the
first start, the pgpt block is restored!

texts:
I ran some tests in my Moto G and it was quite disappointing. The first hour was dedicated to measure the performance in 'Intelligent Power Saving Mode', followed by an hour of the app uninstalled. This was repeated for a total of 6 hours and the results are in:

App installed

1st hour: 66-61 = 5
3rd hour: 58-55 = 3
5th hour: 52-45 = 7

App Removed

2nd hour: 61-58 = 3
4th hour: 55-52 = 3
6th hour: 45-42 = 3

The numbers indicate the percentage of battery charge consumed. During the test, the phone was in standby all the time. What's going on here? This app has more than 800k ratings averaging a 4.5 score! Am I doing something wrong? Is the app supposed to run only when not in standby?

texts:
My Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon) running 4.2.2 (with the VRUAME7 Build, so root is not an option currently) has both the WiFi and 4G/mobile data symbols in the notification bar, occasionally the mobile data symbol will go away, but it is there more often then not.

So I have read through this forum and it says that by turning off the Caller Name ID app that this should remove the mobile data from the notifications. I have done this and it has not removed the symbol.

Questions

My phone does not seem to be using the mobile data, but I would like to know if it is in fact using the mobile data while connected to WiFi?

Shouldn't/Does the mobile data turn off when connected to WiFi?

If it does not turn off the mobile data, why not and can I fix this with Tasker? That is a HUGE waste of battery!

texts: Restore power button to default behaviour

texts:
I have LG G2 (D801) on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop, rooted. The power button stopped working. I am pretty sure an app messed up its behavior - I don't know which one of the many I recently un/installed trying to fix another issue. I am pretty sure it's not a hardware issue.

texts: How to bring up "Recent Activities" menu?

texts:
TLDR: How, in Android 9 with software buttons, can I bring up the menu that looks roughly like https://imgur.com/a/O3wijHD ?
I have a LG K50S with Android 9.
It has software buttons: triangle, square and circle.
While looking at the home screen with app launcher icons, or possibly from the Settings menu, I accidentally pressed a button on the screen or on the sides of the phone. This button brought up a menu that roughly looks like this:
https://imgur.com/a/O3wijHD
(I think this is Windows for phones, but it looks similar).
The menu had the same background as the home screen, with something superimposed on a transparent gray background, like if there is a PIN/pattern lock. It certainly does not belong to a third party program that I have installed. A search from Google Maps was listed under "Recent Activities".
In part due to confusion of the words "Activity" (program window), "Activity Log" (Google Account activity log, requires login), and "Recent Activities" (square button app list), I was not able to find documentation on how to bring up this menu.
How can I bring this menu up?
Many thanks in case of an answer and anyway.

texts: I uninstalled systemui... now phone stops working

texts:
I have this phone, it is rooted.

I backed up the systemui which total size is smaller than 5mb then I uninstalled it using titanium backup then a message appeared "unfortunately systemui has stopped working" so I tried to restore it with TB but takes too much time (waited 20 minutes but still restoring).

I restarted the phone then the message still shows and its a black screen in the background... I tap "ok" and the message disappear a few moments but shows again and again.

Then I did a factory reset but the message "unfortunately systemui has stopped working" still showing with a black screen in the background.

How will bring back this systemui? is it possible with adb?


texts:
I think there are a lot of this type of questions but I have a new (for me and can't find it anywhere) problem with the adb restore command.

I created an adb backup -apk -shared -all and it looked like it worked and I think it did because the size is 6 GB. Well I made this from Android L Preview because I wanted to downgrade because of the bugs (I hope they fix them) and when I try to restore it on Android KitKat 4.4.4 it is not working, the adb shell logcat -s BackupManagerServicereturned this when I tried to make a full restore:

I/BackupManagerService(  758): Beginning full restore...
D/BackupManagerService(  758): Starting restore confirmation UI, token=1224340204
D/BackupManagerService(  758): Waiting for full restore completion...

W/BackupManagerService(  758): Invalid restore data; aborting.
I/BackupManagerService(  758): Full restore processing complete.
D/BackupManagerService(  758): Full restore pass complete.

Is there a fix for this? Or another way to restore this information? The backup is encrypted but there is not an error of a wrong password and I am pretty sure it's the correct password.

Thank you for your time and I hope you can help me solve this.

I'm looking for a way to update a file (override it if need be) on the SD Card from an email attachment with one click, sort of like a Batch file in windows.

Now, is there any way to access the phones root fs from a pc to remove this rogue boot loader so i can boot the phone.Please help.

texts: Galaxy Tab 10.1 doesn't keep wifi connected despite settings

texts:
My Galaxy Tab 10.1, 16GB Wifi only version, disconnects the WiFi whenever the tablet goes into sleep mode.

I have ensured that I have selected to never sleep in advanced WiFi settings.

I downloaded and experimented with the Wifi Keep Alive and REGPON wifi KeepAlive apps, but they have had no effect.

I even tried rooting the device, and put on this ROM, in hopes that maybe some change would take effect, but it hasn't.

Is this a known issue with the Galaxy Tab 10.1? I've done some Google searching and I've seen other people report it, but most fixes seem to just describe how to go into the advanced settings and enable "never" as an option.

Is there any kind of fix I can apply?

This is a somewhat critical feature for me, as I intend to be able to receive Skype calls, which can't be done if the WiFi disconnects.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks all for your comments and help (and sorry for my long silence). Here is the steps I've done:

Delete and re-install accounts, Results: Error connecting server (tried with 2 different account)
Done Factory Reset > No more issue to add account
Install Gmail app (it took 3 or 4 trials where I reboot tablet before success). There every was fine.
Restart tablet for testing: same issue as before :(

I guess either I never switch off my tablet or I return it

texts: Minimum parts for external wired switch detection

texts: I have an application that needs the one bit input from an external wired on/off switch.  There are IOIO and Arduino solutions for this problem, but they seem to solve the general problem in a bulky, complex manner.  I was wondering what is the minimum parts count for an Android app to detect an external wired switch state  .  For example, the switch could be wired to the USB ID line and an app could detect as the port toggles from host to slave mode, or detect the data lines being grounded.  Next simplest would be a single chip USB microcontroller combo, a one chip Arduino I suppose.

I have hundreds of old contacts I haven't texted in almost a decade. It's annoying when, when typing in the name of the person I want to send a text to, there are 10 "John"s that pop up, but 9 of them are very old. However, I don't want to delete their contact info in case I actually do ever want to message them in the future or get a message out of the blue from them. Is it possible to hide contacts (either in my Contacts app or as the aforementioned suggested options when I'm typing in the name of the person I want to text)?

I see this 7 year old question that addresses my exact concern. But the solution seems tedious and maybe not possible on current versions of Android and just wanted to see if there's been an update.


texts:
On my OnePlus One, which is currently running Android version 5.1.1 and Cyanogen OS version 12.1, isn't finding music on my device. I got the music onto my phone with my Chromebook, a HP 14, and simply moving the files to my phones "Music" folder. Once disconnected from my laptop, the music won't appear in the "Play Music" app. I know the files are on my phone, since they appear when I look in my file manager.

I've tried hitting the "refresh" button on both the music app and file manager, in addition to clearing the cache on both the applications. I've also rebooted my phone numerous times, and tried using a SD re-scanner with no avail.

This problem has happened on my phone before, and I solved it by clearing all the music data and putting it all back on my device. Still, I would really prefer not to do this, since it is kind of a pain.

Thank you so much!

texts: Auto-repeat "unread SMS message" notification sound

texts:
I'm about to replace my "dumb" old mobile phone with an HTC One M8, but (initially, at least) there are likely to be days when I never even think about using it.

My old phone was set to beep once a minute until I activated it to read any messages, which was good because if someone sent me a text overnight I'd be repeatedly reminded to look at it when I got up next day (I don't normally take my phone to bed).

On the downside, if someone else gets up before me they have to put up with the phone constantly beeping (or invade my privacy by activating the phone, or bury it under cushions, or whatever! :)

I've lived with that imperfect solution for some years now, but I was kinda hoping for a way to give me much more control. What I'd really like is the ability to make my phone raise an audio alert every minute initially, with the time interval between alerts gradually increasing so it's maybe only every hour or two after a while.

Well, if we're talking about what I really, really want, obviously I don't want a beep at all - I want a way to recognise who sent the text, and to synthesise voice output saying they've texted me.

Anyway, that's the gist of what I'm after. Am I likely to be able to find anything good?

texts: Samsung Galaxy S having internal sd card problems

texts:
I have Samsung Galaxy SLCD having android 2.2.1 which is around one and half year old. Around one month back my it started showing message in notification bar 'internal sd card removed unexpectedly' and after that sometimes phone hanged and I got black screen with samsung written like we get at boot time and sometimes there is multiple 'force close' pop-ups of different apps on phone. Whenever phone gets hanged or it automatically shutdown I am able to restart it only after removing battery and putting it back again and it takes long time to boot up every time I restart.

Now from last 3-4 days I am having following problems that were not there earlier-

If I install an app from market or through eclipse and I restart phone the app is not there.
If I uninstall an old app and I restart phone the app is not uninstalled, it is still there.
If I copy a file it does not show up or if I transfer a file through Bluetooth it is gone after restart of phone.

However I am able to open old files or app. I don't have external SD card on my phone. Is problem with internal SD card of phone or some other OS or phone related issue. Anyone know how to solve above problems.

Thanks in advance.

texts: Allowing alerts to come thru even when on airplane mode

texts:
I sleep with my phone on do not disturb and airplane mode next to me to track my sleep. I don't want the continuous cell/WiFi signal on next to my head all night while my Sleep as Android app tracks my sleep.

However, if for any reason there is some emergency with my job, I need to be able to be alerted via some notification or call.

Is there some app or some setting that would allow my phone to periodically connect to the WiFi to check for updates throughout the night and sound an alarm if it gets a signal to do so?

I know Sleep as Android can turn WiFi on and off to control my Philips Hue smart light as needed, so I'm hopeful there is something similar that can detect priority attempts at contacting me during certain times.

How do I mount /mnt/sdcard/data as /data. Right now the /data has its own partition but it's too small (~500mb) and I would much rather give it more space than move apps and other things to my SD card.

My device is Micromax Canvas 2 A110.

It has a ~2GB internal sd card mounted at /mnt/sdcard2
and an external one at /mnt/sdcard and /sdcard
(I'm on some custom rom that switches internal and external default mount points like that)

I don't know what filesystem those are in.

Related: How to display the on screen keyboard when Bluetooth keyboard is connected

One of the answers under that question suggested an app called Secure Settings. It worked well on my old Android L phone but unfortunately it didn't work on my new phone with Android N.

I've gone through Settings and found a toggle named Show Virtual Keyboard under Physical Keyboards section, but that didn't work.

Any chance I can do this on N?

texts: How to install bundles of additional terminal commands for rooted devices?

texts:
I rooted a HTC Wildfire S device recently and flashed an Android 4.1.2 AOKP Jelly Bean Custom ROM. One benefit is that I can use the terminal now.

I'm a little used to using terminal emulators on desktop machines but never did that on an Android device before. I noticed some commands are not found, for example:

$ tree
/system/bin/sh: tree: not found

Is there a way to add more commands to my device, maybe a bundle of GNU packages for Android available somewhere?


texts: How can I use my Android 5.1 phone as an external USB Speaker?

texts: I have a rooted android 5.1 phone and a Acer Apsire 7520 running windows Xp. Can I use the phone as a USB speaker. The laptop doesn't have an audio out or speaker (doesn't work). It does have WiFi and USB connection. But I prefer using USB instead of WiFi.


texts: Are there any command line SSH clients available for rooted Android phones?

texts:
I of course have ConnectBot, but I'm looking for something I can script.

Edit: To clarify here, I'm not interested in running scripts from a terminal. What I want to do is run an SSH command in an automated/scheduled manner. Tasker and Locale Execute are the equivalent of cron, all I need is the 'ssh' command to run from the script.

texts: Do I need root to flash a ROM onto a Samsung device?

texts: Just for my curiosity, do I need to have root on a Samsung device to flash a ROM onto it with Odin/Heimdall? My device is already rooted (by means of an exploit), but if this is true, one could root by flashing a custom ROM that is already rooted instead of using an exploit.


texts: Sony Z1 Compact: will encrypting my phone disable the camera button?

texts:
I just bought a Sony Z1 Compact with Android 4.4. It has a special camera button on the side. When the phone is off, you can press this button for a longer time, and the camera apps opens directly, even when you have a PIN lock. The lock is not disabled, only for this app. So after making a picture, when you try to open the image, you first have to enter the PIN.

I would like to encrypt the phone, but I'm afraid that this will disable this function. Does anybody knows how this works?

Update: I encrypted the phone plus external SD card, and the camera button still works.
