Searching the forum

Ok so I'm trying to search just the epic4g area of the forum with my xda app. But I can't seem to figure out how. I have a bunch of questions that the wiki didn't answer but I'm sure someone has asked so I don't want to again. But. When I search I get stuff from other deviece forums as well. Any ideas
Thanks. And is there a thanks feature?

The app does not have a section-specific search or a thanks button. Might as well ask them.

Buy Titanium back up from the Market. Get busy box from with in the app. Do a batch back up of apps and data. Export contacts to SD card if they are not in your Google account. Once you root make sure you do a NANDROID back up. Flash way. Go to Market d/l Titanium "free" the license will automaticly turn it to pro it. Batch restore. Done.

Ok, question 1 is odd, if you an issue updating and all you have done is rooted and changed to the Clean Kernel, its possible you got a bad download. Your best bet is to PM dRockstar on that one. Its really strange if it shows updates available and won't, that's some random issue
On to question 2...definately make a nandroid backup. Power down the phone. Hold volume down, camera button, and power on all at the same time. Scroll down with volume key and select backup/restore. Then select backup and let it do its thing. It takes a few minutes but then you have a backup to rely on BUT its always best to take out your SD card and backup everything to your PC. Nandroid backups aren't always perfect and sometimes if you use one it may not work. If you flash a ROM, its best to install apps fresh but you can (after flashing ROM) boot into recovery, scroll to backup/restore, then advanced, then restore data only. Some ROMs may give you fits that's why its always best to have a saved version of everything on your PC as well

Apps bought from the Amazon Market can only be updated through the Amazon Market. The markets are separate and do not share purchase records. You'll need to have Amazon, and update through it, which is, unfortunately, a little slow on pushing out updates. Rest assured, they will come. Dev pages like SetCpu will post the app free sometimes, but the version in the market is donation-ware. If you want to get it updated for free, you'll have to go back to the page you originally got it and get a new one.

A couple things here:
What CWM are you on? If you have to update it for a new rom, be aware that the Nandroid backups will not be compatible, and you'll have to odin back to re-use a backup, should something go wrong. I don't know about Swiss Cheese, you'll have to read the posts in it's thread to know if it can flash without losing data. I've posted a rom called RandomROM that is based off of SRF 1.1.0, which can flash over another version of SRF safely, but may not work properly in other situations.

Thanks for the info on the updates
And I'm on cwm 2.5.1
I have a nandroid backup, a mybackup back up. Ill get that other one as well and ill see how things go and then try n flash a rom

[Q] app2sd on gingerbread leak

Both are working for me? Occasionally I will get a can't move to sd on appstosd but if I hit it again it will move it. And Titanium has never caused me problems? Are you on a custom rom? Did you do any kind of data restore after updating to gingerbread? Have you tried clearing data and cache on titanium to see if it clears the force close?

Which Gingerbread ROM are you using? I had major issues with most. The only one that hasn't given me any issues and is my daily driver since it came out is EF02 Plus.

[Q] System/app

I would like to delete the stock HTC/Android music players and use Winamp only. Can I put Winamp into system/app and use it as the default music player? Is there any special way to do it and will there be any issues? Thanks in advance.

You can use it as default without deleting the stock player. Removing the stock music app could cause issues, so if you want to try it, I'd either back up the app with Titanium Backup (or freeze it) or make a nandroid backup first. To freeze apps - and possibly backup system apks - you need the Pro version of TB or another app that will do the same.
After removing the stock music player, if you do so successfully, it isn't necessary to move Winamp to /system/app.

Thanks plainjane, you always have my back. The reason I ask is I don't like a lot of different apps that do the same thing on my phone. If removing it might cause issues I'll just freeze them. I do have TB pro. Thanks again. Off the topic but, would you know why my participated topics are not showing up on the xda app on my EVO?

Mine don't show either, now that you mention it. I use Tapatalk but I've purchased the XDA app, so I'll download it & check there in a sec. I've never used the "participated" tab, though. I just go to profile and then posts if I want to check stuff I've recently posted.
If freezing doesn't cause any issues, you can then remove it safely. I'd make a backup of it in TB though, just in case. And since you already have the app, you can easily convert Winamp to a system app. As I said, not necessary, but shouldn't hurt anything.
Edit: No go in XDA app either. You can contact someone about it if it's a feature you regularly use, maybe someone can get it sorted out.

As long as you survived a reboot you should be safe to delete, I would make a backup of the app incase you run into an issue later on.

Yea, I'll do that. I don't really need all the different music players and I really like Win amp. I like streamlined, 1 if my favorite apps for whatever I need. What I was looking to do was what you did with your apps from Go. Kinda migrate them in to the ROM.

That was actually in the first kernel you flashed before installing anything...the one that gets CWM or ACS recoveries to "stick" upon reboot.

In root explorer, go to system/apps and hit the r/o button. Long press and delete the apps you don't want. Turn off phone and turn back on. I hate the stock browser and always remove it this way if I forget to remove it from the Rom/Theme. Be careful what you delete. You can also add a .bak extension to the file to deactivate it in case you may want it later.

when i do that it sayd it cant be deleted because it is read ony

titanium backup is easy enough to remove what you don't want.

go back to qbking's videos. he has a few in order to install the acs recovery and make it stick, along with the new "stock" update from sprint. once you apply these installation steps, your gps, keyboard issues, and other things will be fine. i do apologize, i cannot post any links on here just yet. but i did do the steps in his videos and i have no problems.

[Q] .apk

I downloaded an app's .apk from the internet and installed it onto my phone. Now that there's a sale going on in the marketplace, I tried to uninstall the app so I could buy the paid version of it. However even after the app was uninstalled, the Google Play wouldn't let me download the app. Any ideas on how to download the app? I already tried to clear the cache and data for the marketplace to no avail.
Thank you.
