[Q] S Voice FULL deletion off Gnex?? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi, I have recently followed a guide to install S Voice on the GNex, In the tutorial, I had to do this "Fix" which apparently changes what apps and my PC identify the phone as, (Link has the full info.) Anyways, after I did that, it worked, but I noticed when I connect to my computer, it identifies it as a the GT-I9300. I ignored it because I knew why it was doing that. Later, I decided to delete the S Voice app because I wasn't using it, so I went ahead and uninstalled it and then reset the build.prop file from "GT-I9300" to "Galaxy Nexus" (IM SORRY, I THINK Galaxy Nexus ISNT the original string, can anyone tell me the original strings? ) Which was the original value for both lines ( ro.product.model and ro.product.device ) I rebooted and left it. I recently installed AirDroid and when I logged on, it showed an image of the S III for my device, instead of showing the GNexus. I know it probably doesn't affect performance, but I just don't like it! Anyone have the solution? I know that resetting to factory settings will probably fix it, but are there any better solutions?
LINK TO THE FIX I DID : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664785

IF ANYONE HAS A SOLUTION PLEASE REPLY!

I would suggest backing up all your apps and data, then reflashing your ROM. But if you just want to change the build.prop, I'll include the device specific lines.
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.brand=Google
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
ro.product.board=tuna

Tried it, unfortunately didn't help! I I've also noticed that Google Play behaves the same way! It says I'm using a GT-I9300... I don't understand why, there is NO mention of GT-I9300 on that file!

[Q] No connection in Android with new build

Android was working perfectly ok with a 3G connection, but the new build isn't connecting. Any help? I didn't see anything in the FAQ.
I uninstalled the CAB from WinMo and deleted excess files off the microsd card.
Any idea on what's going on?

Is the force cdma option enabled in your startup? This only applies if you are on a CDMA carrier, obviously.
Also, don't use MGJDroidUtil... it has been known to screw up the startup.txt, I thought they were updating it tho... Haven't heard anything about it so just stay away from it...
Thanks for the tip regarding not using the launcher. I have noticed that startup.txt getting corrupted.
The force CDMA is enabled in my startup. I am on Sprint.
same....
I have the same problem. Force CDMA is checked. The BLAZN and default releases were my first attempt at this when audio support was added. Both of those tested and worked as expected. So that's two of us so far.
BTW I told myself I'd donate once some great minds got audio working. Is it best to donate on the main page or to any other specific party?

To both of you... you may want to format & start over. lip008, you said "force cdma is checked" - that sounds like you're using MGJDroidUtil, because the startup.txt is a text file... you have to make sure the force cdma command is in the cmdline section.
Oh and for donations, I'd say the general XDAndroid Donation page is sufficient
I'm on GSM (T-Mobile), and I had the same issue (not the BLAZN build, the regular one)
Ok, how about APN settings? sukru, others, have you checked those?
Honestly I haven't had to add the APN manually for several builds, but maybe there's a regression in the new build.
As always, make sure your rootfs, zImage/modules are up to date.
Heres the solution if you are on sprint
Boot into windows mobile and connect to pc so you can access the files in the andboot folder on your sd card. .
or (the purpose of this is so you can edit your STARTUP.TXT using notepad)
You can take out your SD CARD and put it in a card reader and do this too.. as long as you are in windows mobile..
DO NOT DO THIS IN ANDROID..
Once you get access to the SD CARD files.. go into the ANDBOOT folder..
locate STARTUP.TXT and edit it with notepad
locate the long line of commands that starts with "Set cmdline"....
read the entire line and somewhere in the middle you will find a part that says..
force_cdma=0 (remove this part only)
and make sure you have this at the end.... htc_hw.force_cdma=1
NEXT: SAVE YOUR FILE.. AND HERES THE IMPORTANT PART..
***** BOOT WITH HARET.EXE***** NOT WITH THE MGJDroidUtil program...
THIS WORKED FOR ME.. and if any of the mods here want to add to this.. please feel free to clarify..
In lamens terms... On cdma network sprint only
THERE IS A CORRUPT ENTRY IN THE STARTUP.TXT that needs to be removed..
EDIT this entry using notepad while not booted up in android.
the entry needs to be removed mentioned above..
DO NOT USE: MGJDroidUtil to start android.. USE FILE EXPLORER.. AND start
HARET.EXE..
hope this helps..
MINE READS AS FOLLOWS:
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x9f.0x39a.0x35c.0x78 7x00.a11=500 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=2,1,3 pm.sleep_mode=2 acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=716800 rel_path=andboot hw3d.force=1 physkeyboard=rhod400 htc_hw.force_cdma=1 "
lancevs, I appreciate then enthusiasm, but I don't think that would have any effect on GSM guys.
However, using MGJDroidUtil can still screw up anybody's startup.txt, regardless of the type of phone/radio... so he is correct in that fact:
DON'T USE MGJDROIDUTIL.EXE!!!!
Edit - didn't even think about it but sukru - do you have this force_cdma statement set to 1? For us CDMA guys it's required, but it probably will break you GSM guys if it is enabled... So check that out.
Yes for clarification
MY POST SAYS " FOR SPRINT USERS ONLY" at the TITLE...
GSM users, this does not apply..
I am on sprint and spent a good part of yesterday trying to figure out why i had no service.. I am on SPRINT which is a CDMA network..

Will check again tonight. Android was getting better each time, then it suddenly went down for me.
Hey guys. I had been running an early August (pre sound) release of Blazn, and everything had been fine. Today I decided to upgrade to get sound and 3D support, and every time I boot into Android it shows no signal, and shows I'm in airplane mode, and it will not let me turn the radio on.
I'm using a Sprint TP2, and I followed the instructions for earlier in the thread, but still no go.
Here's the line from my config file:
Code:
lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x9f.0x39a.0x35c.0x78 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=2,1,3 pm.sleep_mode=2 acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=716800 hw3d.force=1 physkeyboard=rhod400 htc_hw.force_cdma=1
Is there something wrong in it? I am launching Haret directly from TotalCommander File Explorer. Same problem if I use the config/startup utility.
Also, to install the latest version, I deleted the andboot and android folders on my SD card, then installed via cab.
That line looks correct, perhaps you should post your entire startup.txt.
Or just start with a clean build - wipe everything Android related and do a fresh install. The new startup utility is pretty slick, just be sure you check force cdma in the advanced section.
Seems to be random. About 30% of the time it will work, the other 70% of the time "no service" and no way to turn on the radio.

Well, perhaps you shouldn't use the update utility at all. It has been updated so it shouldn't corrupt the startup.txt, but I had issues with it... so personally I prefer to just use haret & modify the startup.txt manually.
I am launching Haret directly, see OG post.

Start with a clean build. Don't touch the startup utility, because you said you had previously. It's been known to corrupt the startup.txt, even these new builds I had my startup.txt go to 0 bytes.
hi I am having the same problems cant get android to connect with sprint on the tp2. I am no expert but have become very good at using windows mobile as a user not a developer so all i know is i downloaded a cab file that was haret version 9 28 it came with a little icon labeled android project when i launch it i get to a screen that lets me make some advanced setting and check for updates before and choose my phone model. It says aka sovereinty at the bottom. I have tried to boot without forcing cdma and it does not connect and when i choose force cdma it seems likes its kinda connecting but keeps getting a error message and then i force close and it automatically tries again. If i boot wiithout force cdma the i can connect via wifi but that works but seems to also disconnect after a few minutes, though that is not my concern for now. I tried with the sim and without. and have updated twice so i am know on 10 4. anybody that get help would be appreciated. I love my tp2 with windows mobile but am curuios to play with android being that sprint wont let me unless i change my plan and make me pay double. not interested because my tp2 works great now and has everything i need.
thanks

"r2: Superboot" not working

Tried to post this in the developers forum in the correct thread but I'm restricted - sorry mods but if you could move this post, that would be ace?
I've tried following the instructions for using the r2: Superboot process to root my phone, but having trouble with it.
I've installed the drivers that came in the zip - with the phone switched on as normal, Windows recognises it no problem, as does ADB. When I put the phone into the bootloader, Windows doesn't recognise it - showing in device manager as "Android 1.0" and making a funny beep as the USB is plugged in. Neither ADB or Fastboot recognise the phone as being attatched.
Just bought the phone today, sim free, in the UK, so possibly a different hardware or software version to those who've got it working?
When running normally, "About Phone" shows as Android version 4.0.1, Kernel 3.0.1-ge2433f2 [email protected] #1 and Build number ITL41D.
In the bootloader it shows Fastboot Mode, Product Name - tuna, Varient - magura, HW Version 9, Bootloader Version - PRIMEKJ10, Signing - production, Lock State - locked.
Anyone got any ideas where to go from here?
Thanks
Make sure you turn on ADB Debugging from the settings menu and plug it into your pc.
Then run:
adb devices
See if its there. If so, continue
You need to force the drivers to install in fastboot mode first. Download the 'drivers' files from *THIS* forum and try them it worked for me (make sure you are in fastboot mode when you install them). You will also need to unlock the bootloader first which will wipe your phone including sdcard so make sure you have any files you need backed up first.
Mark.
Ah, fella, you're a superstar!
Done it now, can tweak my phone just how I want it now.
Thanks so much for your help

I have been assuming that 'wipe your phone' means wipe it of anything the user has put on it, but that the OS remains; is that correct?
Yeh, it resets it to the same state as when you first get the phone, wiping any personal data and any changes you've made to the system
Have to say I'm impressed though, it remembered by Wifi password and downloaded all my apps again without me doing anything! I'm liking ICS so far!

Your passwords and all your list of apps from the market are stored under your google account so when you sign back in on a new phone (or wiped one) and synch with your phone all your market apps under that account are re-downloaded and certain information is restored.
Mark.
I don't remember that happening on my old Desire.. that just something I've missed or new to ICS?
I've noticed ICS brings up my bookmarks from Chrome on my PC, that's deffinately a new trick!

Could be you didn't enable personal data backup, or Sense doesn't do that (my guess)
And the Chrome bookmark sync is one of the things I'm definitely looking forward to with ICS I know I can do it with some apps right now but having features be native is always nice

[REF] & [Q] My A100 adventure, and why is my GPS not working?

I just got a refurbished A100 earlier this month, I had wanted something that was able to be used
has a GPS when traveling, and a Android PC when at home when attached to a HDMI monitor,
the Android PC setup works well with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, however the Microsoft
bluetooth mouse that I have stops working after it sets still for a bit, and I have to manually reconnect, I
hope to find a mouse that auto reconnects or does not time out, the only other problem I have
with the Android PC setup is that one of the HDMI TVs I have, an old Sharp 720p TV, the TV I needed
to use for this, the top and bottom of the screen are cut off, and this TV has no adjustments for that,
but the A100 works good on a newer Vizio 1080p TV that I tried.
Here are the steps I took to unlock, root, install recovery and CM, copied from my notes.
I installed the drivers and rooted the A100 using:
Full root for A10x and A5xx ICS. Simple method.
I noticed that at this step my superuser will not update from within the superuser app.
I then unlocked the boot loader using this:
[How to] Install unlock bootloader for A100/A101
It happened so fast that I missed it and had to run the commands
"fastboot oem unlock"
and
"fastboot reboot"
after getting back into the bootloader using the Quick Boot app.
I then installed TWRP from:
[RECOVERY] [OFFICIAL] TWRP 2.2.2.1 for Acer Iconia Tab A100
then used TWRP to wipe and install CM10 from:
[DEV/WIP] CyanogenMod 10 Preview
and the Jelly Bean optimized Kernel for A100 from:
[DEV] [KERNEL] UNOFFICIAL - Jelly Bean optimized Kernel for A100
and the Gapps file gapps-jb-713.zip from:
http://d-h.st/I1K
After logging into my Google account and downloading a filemanager,
and letting it do a few updates, I used TWRP to make a backup from
my real SD Card.
I then ran/installed "jb-mount-swap.sh", Crossix's mount swap modded for CM10 by pio_masaki,
got that from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29592981&postcount=101
I put the "jb-mount-swap.sh" in "/etc" then changed permissions on the "jb-mount-swap.sh"
to give it everything, I then updated BusyBox and Superuser, and used Script Manager to
load "jb-mount-swap.sh" on every boot.
UPDATE
"jb-mount-swap.sh" Should be placed into "/system/etc"
The next problem was the touch screen sensitivity was crazy and the tablet was hard to use,
It was not like that in ICS.
I found this:
[Q] Screen too sensitive
And tried this first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22777698&postcount=65
I used "Acer Liquid Settings", found the app over at:
[APP] Liquid-settings v 1.3 final
and it sometimes worked but I still had problems, so I tried "TouchRecalibrate"
from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20189952&postcount=52
and seems to work a little better.
Tips and Fixes:
I had the CM10 launcher Trebuchet endlessley crash after changing some CM10 settings,
so I wiped the Trebuchet settings by going to "Settinga/Apps/All/Trebuchet/Clear data"
I then downloaded and installed a different launcher, I used Nova.
If you change the lcd density the Play store might start showing "Your Device Is Not Compatible With This Item"
you may be able to fix by going to "Settinga/Apps/All/Google Play Store/Clear data", and doing a reboot, you
may also have to change the lcd density back to the way it was, on my a100 its set to "160"
You can load a TEXT file from the Android browser by typing: "file:////mnt/external_sd/YOUR-TEXT-FILE.TXT"
or "file:////mnt/sdcard/YOUR-TEXT-FILE.TXT"
I had some wallpaper problems until I placed the wallpapers into "sdcard/media/wallpaper"
and used the APP "image 2 wallpaper"
My Problems:
My GPS doe not work, I have tried all the fixes that I can find, but my GPS just will not work, I have tried
[DEC.05.2011] Instantaneous GPS Fixation v1.2! *FOR ALL ANDROIDS PHONES!*
[GPS][Fix] Automate long term orbit data download
AGPS Patch Iconia 3.1 & 2.2 | GET BACK TO RAPID GPS LOCK, CAN LOCK ONTO MORE SATS
I have been using GPS Essentials and GPS Test to try and get a GPS lock, I never get anything, I tried with and
with out a case, I tried leaving it set out side for about an hour, it never got any satellites.
GPS UPDATE
My GPS now works, all I had to do was re-flash the ROM, Kernel, and Gapps, I made a backup
before I re-flashed my rom using TWRP, and restored "Data" only from that backup right
after I re-flashed, that restored my APPS, and passwords.
HDMI and Bluetooth Mouse UPDATE
I found a HDMI to VGA converter that works well, it also outputs audio, here is the link
SANOXY HDMI to VGA and Audio Converter (Support 1080P, Input HDMI, Video Output: VGA, Audio Output: 3.5 mm-outs)
It only converts HDMI to VGA, it does not scale anything, but the video and audio are both good,
however video is a tad soft looking, might be the cables I am using, you do have to adjust the monitors
settings, but I was able to fill the screen, I tested a a few monitors with the converter box, the Viewsonic
vs11354 I have worked fine, an old NEC LCD1560NX did not, and the Sharp 720p TV that I had problems
with HDMI, worked well threw its VGA with some screen adjustment.
I also got a Motorola Bluetooth Mouse SJYN0817A, it works well and does not die on me, it also pairs
without a pin like the Wii Remote controler, it was cheap, I think they are getting rid of them.

I knew about both guides, but this was from my own notes, that I wrote for my self,
I take notes on stuff I do like this for two reasons, one is if I screw up, the other
reason is if I forget.
I often use the Web browser to open a text file containing my huge WiFi passwords
and such, so that I don't have to retype them, this is done before I have a
file manager, and often downloading and installing a file manager is the next
thing I do.

I appreciate your addition to the A100 forums. Several of your links are broken on my end. As for the GPS, I would suggest a full wipe and reflash as a starting point.
Edit : I'm assuming GPS was working fine on stock?

I got the tablet refurbished and then let it do the OTA updates, the very next thing I did was
root, install recovery and CM, I only used it about a day or so with ICS and only installed what
I needed to, I never thought to test GPS, I guess I can try to backup, then wipe and reflash.
Thanks for pointing out the bad links.

I swear that TouchRecalibrate does nothing! lol
I had to do some google searching and there are a lot of reports saying that you must follow the instructions carefully, and than it says recalibrating and does nothing, no matter how long you let it set.
I may be wrong.
Now Liquid Settings, I set the sensitivity to 0 and it did help.
Thanks for those! Pretty cool.

I get two problems with sensitivity, touch is too sensitive, and I get rapid touches from a single touch,
TouchRecalibrate does seem to help, but not completely, as it seems to help the most with the rapid
touch problem, and not very much for the sensitivity.
I also would not doubt the pseudo effect, but from what I understand the TouchRecalibrate APP is made
for the ViewSonic gTablet that seems to share the same resolution and CPU, its just that the screen sizes
and PPI are different, so there is a possibility of it working.

Cool man glad it fixed it for you. Enjoy
I just had something odd happen, I started having trouble changing the wallpaper,
then the "jb-mount-swap.sh" stopped working, some games and apps also stopped
working, and it froze and then spontaneously rebooted on me a few times, I tried
rebooting and changing the directory of the "jb-mount-swap.sh" file thinking I had it in the
wrong place, I tried placing the file in both the internal and external storage and rebooting,
I even made sure the permissions were correct, then out of the blue the A100 only booted
to a blank screen, and would not boot into android, so I booted into recovery, factory
wiped, installed CM10, the Jelly Bean optimized Kernel for A100, and Gapps, then
restored my "Data" from my backup, and it seems to be working, I wonder what happened ?
If the mount swap is removed or stopped from running it can cause allot of issues with apps. The mounts go back to normal so apps lose their data and info and go insane.

I had the storage card problem again, shortly after the last restore, this is what I did to fix it.
I put "jb-mount-swap.sh" into "/storage/sdcard1/" and made sure the permissions were correct, I then
checked Script Manager's "List" it showed a few phantom "jb-mount-swap.sh" from when I tried using
other directories, so I deleted all of them, then with Script Manager I selected "SU" and Boot" icons for
"jb-mount-swap.sh" and pushed the "save" tab, I then updated Superuser and BusyBox, and its working,
hope it stays that way. :fingers-crossed:
You do know that's supposed to run from /system/etc? I'm surprised its working at all considering you're remounting the partition its sitting on.

I had put "jb-mount-swap.sh" into "/etc/" not "/system/etc" I wonder if thats why I had problems,
it does seem to be working good in "/storage/sdcard1/" I have not had any problems, but I will
move "jb-mount-swap.sh" over to "/system/etc" to help keep any future problems to a minimum.
/etc and /system/etc are linked, so that's fine.

"jb-mount-swap.sh" stoped working after I moved it into "/system/etc" but the superuser APP shows
that it gave root to SManager just after boot, and when I use SManager to run "jb-mount-swap.sh" I get
"mount: Device or resource busy", I then reboot, and the "jb-mount-swap.sh" is working, so I reboot again,
and "jb-mount-swap.sh" stops working, its does this:
(1) "jb-mount-swap.sh" not working
(2) Reboot
(3) "jb-mount-swap.sh" is working
(4) Reboot

Just for a test, I copied the "jb-mount-swap.sh" to another directory, then deleted
"jb-mount-swap.sh" in "/system/etc" I then made sure that "jb-mount-swap.sh" was
not listed under SManager's "List" or "Favorites" then I copied the "jb-mount-swap.sh"
back to "/system/etc" and set it to run with SManager again, I still have the problem,
so the next thing I tried was using SManager to change the "jb-mount-swap.sh" file
permissions, so I used SManager to remove all the permissions for "jb-mount-swap.sh"
and then add them back, rebooted a few times and it still has the problem.
I tried reinstalling SManager, did not help, I tried using ROM Toolbox to run the script at boot,
but still have the same problem.

Remove Phone Setup - During Phone boot

Hi All,
Can anyone help me figure out the APK files to be removed in order to bypass the phone setup when I boot the phone for First time.
I do not want to enter the First Name, Last Name or add WiFi during the first boot of the phone.
In few Samsung phones I found there is a APK file called 'GooglePartnerSetup.apk' but I am not sure what it does. (Not sure if it's relevant in Nexus)
Any help will be highly appreciated.
On the WELCOME screen, try clicking the screen corners in this order: left-up, right-up, right-down, left-down. This should skip the setup process.
Or, if you insist on removing that APK altogether, look for a file named "SetupWizard.apk".

SmartThings on LineageOS

I need help getting SmartThings working with LineageOS.
Short Version:
I have LineageOS 17.1 installed on a Tab S (SM-T700)
When I launch the SmartThings app it crashes
I've tried changing the build.prop
I've tried installing some Samsung account APK files
Long version:
I have two of the original Samsung Tab S (SM-T700) tablets that I bought new to use as controllers for my smart home. I have lots of smart home stuff, but I mostly control it all with SmartThings. The tablets are perfect for my needs: Thin and light in the perfect size, however they are now so old that the new version of SmartThings no longer works with the newest available stock Android, nor does Sonos, rendering them basically useless.
In an effort to revive them for their original use, I flashed one over to LineageOS. It works fine, however SmartThings crashes as soon as you get to the login.
I have read that this is caused because SmartThings looks at the build.prop, sees that this is a Samsung tablet, and then looks for the stock Samsung account management APKs.
First I tried changing the build.prop file. I rooted the device with Magisk. I then navigated to the /system folder and found the build.prop file. I opened it with a text editor. This thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/smartthings-crash-on-lineageos-with-samsung-tablet.4109423/ said to change
ro.product.brand=samsung to ro.product.brand=google
and
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung to ro.product.manufacturer=google
However, those exact lines don't exist in my build.prop. The closest I could find were ro.product.system.brand and ro.product.system.manufacturer. I assumed they were basically the same and changed those. When I saved the file, and opened it again, it had reverted back from google to samsung. So I copied the file to another folder and tried again. Saved the changes and they stay. However, if I copy back to /system, they revert to samsung. The only way I could get it to stick was to delete the original build.prop and THEN copy it back, but when I do that, and I reboot, the tablet hangs at the startup animation.
Clearly I am doing something wrong with changing the build.prop file. Can someone please explain this to me with step by step instructions?

Getting Smartthings to work when you have debloated or used another rom
Hi, Just wanted to let you guys know how I got the Smartthings app to work on my S20 FE (Also my older Samsung devices) Some of the debloat guides/scripts remove either 1 or 2 packages required for Smartthings to work on Samsung devices. The...
forum.xda-developers.com
This says I just need to get
com.samsung.android.easysetup
com.samsung.android.beaconmanager
Installed and everything should work. I hunted down a couple APKs of those packages, but even after I installed them SmartThings refuses to load. Maybe I didn't have the correct version? Does anybody have a link to the exact files I should install to get this to work?
It seems like there are a couple of work arounds that will get me up an running again, but I can't seem to get anything to work. Please help!
