Question about widgets - General Questions and Answers

When i install apps on my Galaxy GT-S5570I there are no widgets for that apps to put on screen even if in description of the app it says there is widget to put on screen. I have 2.3.6 Gingerbread with latest firmware and phone is rooted and network unlocked. Do i have to enable widgets somehow or some devices dont support widgets for some apps or am i just missing something else?
Thank you.

what firmware exactly do you run?
(settings-> phone->firmware )

Widgets shall work only if they are on internal memory...
If apps/widgets are moved to external storage, they won't work...
Check if the app is on internal storage...if its on external, then move it back to internal and reboot...

Firmware: IXXLD6.
Yes i have all apps on sd card because phone memory is not so big,maybe thats the problem...but isnt there a way to put widgets on screen even if apps are on sd card?

That method requires you to partition your sd card, so that it behaves like a complementary internal memory...
It requires root, a good sd card, and partition tools...
You can see the method (partioning sd card) in the guide mentioned in my sig...
Don't use the guide, just get a general idea...since the guide isn't for your phone, and you may end up bricking your phone if you use my device's files...

Yes i see there is not much about my phone on forum and internet. Strange because phone is not that new on market. Maybe because its not popular so much. I even tryed to find some info about custom roms but i couldnt find anything. Some say custom roms for Galaxy Y can go on my phone but i dont wana play and brick it if its not 100%. I rooted and network unlocked my phone. Just wanted to try some custom roms to see if its gona work better or something.

[Q] Help with my Samsung Captivate..

The last Android phone I rooted was the HTC Hero... I need help rooting and installing a rom and unlocking my Samsung Captivate (Not necessarily install a rom). My main concern is 1. I want to unlock & 2. Allow to install apps from unknown sources (which from what I understand AT&T blocks). Should I stick with the stock 2.1 that came with the phone or should I use a different rom? I am somewhat new but all I need is someone to point in the right direction and I can figure out the rest myself. I am also wondering if I need to use the internal memory or should I use another microSD card... Like I said before... unlocking and allowing to install from unknown sources is my main concern..

It's your decision to stay with 2.1 or use a custom leaked 2.2 ROM. The ROM's are really good with what the Dev's are working with. You don't need to use an external sd card but it is worth having for extra room.

Am I better off going with 2.2? Is it stable? Someone told me about the Serendipity Rom.. Which rom would you recommend that is 2.2?

The 2.2 ROM's are stable. I won't recommend a ROM though because each phone reacts differently. Serendipity is a good ROM and I am using it now, but you would be able to use pretty much any of the 2.2 ROM's and be happy. Mostly if you just want a ROM made by a dev you are really looking at the theme of the ROM. Check the threads in the dev section and read up on each one.
Try looking over the stickies and read the Wiki. Doing a search before posting is always appreciated, as well.

We get cranky when people expect answers to questions that are easily answered by looking over the forum and/or doing a search, much like all of your questions.

1) is your phone in download mode?
2) did you install the Samsung drivers?

Click to expand...

Yes & Yes
I downloaded the 1.3 version and the 1.0 version of ODIN3 but the 1.0 version was a 275MB file..
After you install the drivers, you put your phone in download mode
Then you open odin (whichever one you want to use, I normally use 1-click)
Then you plug in your phone and it should recognize it; if it doesnt, then somethings wrong with your drivers--reinstall them
if you start it, but it hangs at reading pit file (or some variation) then unplug some USB accessories and try again. (sometimes it takes me up to 4-5 tries before it begins to flash)
And I'm not getting cranky, I'm merely stating what I'm observing.
I barely ask questions on the forum because I can normally find what I'm looking for if I were just to read. Don't get me wrong, I want to be helpful; But when the information is all gathered in a few clicks, I don't see why some people can't find the most basic answers.

[Q] Help with rooting+installing custom ROMs for Samsung Galaxy 3(i5801) running 2.2?

Okay, now I know that there are other threads about this, but the issue is that none are specific to my problem. Either they are not for my phone, or my version is different or the thread is dead and with no replies. So I created a new thread.
Anyway, I was hoping that I could get a step by step procedure on how to root my phone and install a custom ROM.
The issue is, my KIES doesn't work (so help me with that also please) and moreover, I'm very new to all this so I don't quite get a few things.
Also, please tell me what are the best ROMs out there and if something does go wrong in the process, how do I un-brick my phone?
So I'm looking for active replies / repliers since I know I'll have a bunch of questions during the process.
Last, when I go to "about phone" on my phone it says "firmware version 2.2", but the little that I've looked up, people run 2.2.1. Does this mean my rooting process is different?
Thanks. And in case you want it, my kernel version is 2.6.32.9
Appreciate it.
rooting z4root
custom rom - pick a custom rom and follow instruction in that thread.
Your phone is already updated to 2.2 and that is the reason why kies doesn't show new updates. Our phone has 2.2 and not 2.2.1
If you use roms which doesnt have boot then it will not get hard bricked. soft brick can be fixed by reflashing.
What is the exact issue you are facing while using kies? Try a uninstall and reinstall. That should fix it
K, so I fixed KIES. I just had to update though, I was running on an older version. I didn't think a slightly outdated version would not detect my phone.. anyway never mind that.
So I don't really know what the best custom ROM is out there. could you suggest one? one that is fast (speed is really the priority), and not buggy, supports the apps that the stock ROM should. I'm willing to try three-four, so give me the names of the best ones out there.
Don't I need to root my phone before installing a custom ROM? If so, then I need to learn how to do that..
What do you mean it doesn't have a boot?
Well to figure out best ROm you will have to read up on each ROm. Each of them have separate thread where initial posts describe the properties of ROm. There are ROm comparison threads out there but that is just summary. I cant give you best choices. Everybody has different taste. Start with more popular ones, whose threads have more posts. More post -> more popular.
You can root using z4root.
Custom ROM are pre rooted normally so you need not root your phone before flashing custom rom

if speed is a prime consideration then i would suggest kyrillos rom..... fastest rom i ever used....... very less buggy.......
you can also flash lestatious rom..... it is damn fast and surprisingly stable!.....
and check dharam's rom collection too....... i'm using his ultra clean ultimate rom right now..... and it's good although since you are new i would recommend flashing a different rom from his collection.....
As for rooting.... you don't need to root before flashing a custom rom....
And in case you need any information about any of the features or anything.... just post it here ....... i'lll try to help you in whatever way i can.,.....

Hey i would suggest u to go for Indroid 4.3. I m using this and have seen many users jumping from lestatious and kyrollis to indroid.
As a begginer, u will also get many help in Indroid thread.
Z4root doesnt work in Froyo, if u wanna root, choose superone click.
U dont need kies to work, Use Odin to flash ur fone.
Make sure to learn processes better by reading through forums, if u dont wanna brick ur fone.
Hey!! I would suggest Indroid 4.3 or Kyrillos 5.6. They are fast as hey have lagfix.
And no you don t have to root your phone before installing a custom ROM. But if you want to root, use superoneclick to root.
And as for bricking, you can avoid hard brick by installing a ROM that does not have bootloader. Bootloader is a piece of code that runs before any operating system starts. So you should avoid flashing bootloader.
As for soft bricks, you can just reflash to come out of the soft brick.
okay so i was doing a bit of reading up and i realised the following :
1)First i need to download :
a) Odin (please post version number i have to get for my i5801 (or is it just one thing for all phones?) or a link please.)
b) some backup software. now i downloaded titanium backup, but it won't open because it says my phone is not rooted. so help me go about this.
c) a custom ROM. I think i'll start off with kyrillos rom since i've been told it's the fastest and very less buggy. i'll then move on to Dharam's ROM if i don't like kyrillos rom because Dharam seems to be a very active user, and quite friendly, and i feel he can solve the issues well. after that i'll try Indroid.
d) I also need superone click.
Question : Where do i download these? directly on my phone or on my computer?
2) I can increase my internal storage by partitioning a part of my SD card. Now I have a 4 GB SD card and i barely use it, so i don't mind giving upto 1GB of it. Please suggest the perfect amount. whether 1GB will be too much, or whether 500MB would be too less.
3) some apps do not work with custom ROMs. The app that i really want is 4shared. It's working currently on my phone with the stock ROM, so if someone can check if that will also work on the three ROMs that i mentioned.
4) soft bricking isn't much of an issue, but it's better i avoid it. so can someone give me a rather up-to-date guide (or link) on rooting, because the other ones are REALLY old. at least 4-5 months old and there have been some updates after that.
5) I can also overclock my phone. And from what I read up, SetCPU seems compatible with the above ROMs. And after flashing my phone with a custom ROM, my phone is automatically rooted. Correct me if I am wrong.
6) Flash player isn't available for our processor (V6). Since this is a hardware issue, there's no way i can make it work on some other ROM, can I? Because flash is a rather important software..
So that's it, I guess. Please add anything if i missed out anything.
PS : Does anyone know of any software using which I can download YouTube videos? Because the YouTube app kind of sucks, and buffering takes time since I don't have WiFi.
Wow!! Those are a lot of questions.
1) Link for ODIN.
ODIN>http://goo.gl/nCxCw
OPS FILE>http://goo.gl/ORin0
As for the backup software, Titanium backup is the best out there. As it can backup all the apps and all the settings. Yes you have to be rooted. So root and use.
And for rooting, use this tutorial,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011555
Don t worry about the oldness. This works. The link for superoneclicjk is available in that post as well.
Yes. Kyrillos is a good ROM. As it is prelagfixed and offer good internal memory as well after you partition your SD. Sizes, 512 MB ext4 and 128 MB linux swap. Rest of the memory you can use for storage.
As far as overclocking is concerned, in Kyrillos, you again have to flash a new kernel if you want OC.
And for the flash problem, only adobe can solve that problem.
And oh yes, most of the custom roms are prerooted. So after flashin you don t have to root again.

The rom is downloaded on your pc and flashed through it using odin.
I don't know any apps that work on stock rom and not on custom rom..... and 4shared works on kyrillos and indroid..... i've used it myself..
Most custom roms are already rooted and setcpu is the best app for setting CPU frequencies.
And as you said flash player isn't compatible with armv6 processors like ours.... so unless adobe makes it compatible no custom rom can do anything.
and for downloading youtube videos i'll suggest an app called you tube downloader or tube-X.......
Hope this helps...
Kernel
I flashed the indroid 4.0 Rom with Odin, and in short I will probably try to flash the indroid 4.3 Rom.
One question however, More and more I read about "kernel"(eg to get the 1% battery thing).
I know the kernel is the core of the operating system, but I don't understand how to use/apply it on my phone. Is the kernel something I have to flash separatly from the Rom, or is it included in the Rom?
If you need to install / flash it seperatly, where can I find the different kernels, and which one is recommended for my phone (Samsung Galaxy 3 Apollo)?
Hope someone can answer!
thnx

The kernel is included in the ROM itself. There are different kernels with different functionalities. For eg : - Most of the kernel that come with the ROMS are non-OC. So, if you want to overclock you phone, you have to flash the required kernel after flashing the ROM. The procedure is same using ODIN. Here s the link to the kernels.

if u have any other launcher like adw then go to settings > application > Adw launcher (for example) and press clear default.
Then press the home key, It should ask u to set detault launcher. Just click on the checkbox below and select touchwiz launcher.
Tell me if it works or not.
No I do not have any other launcher installed. At least it's not showing up there.. but i did try using the more latest version. 1.9.5. that seemed to work just fine. man, i was so scared before rooting this wondering what if something goes wrong. but that was easy
Titanium backup now and maybe flashing a new rom tomorrow (or in a couple of days, after my exam.) Thanks though! =)

and yeah we also get awesome themes and more memory /system!!
custom roms are faster with better battery backup.

WIND Optimus 2x owners upgarde? how to guide?

Hey guys i have a few questions!
Firstly im new to G2x flashing, and android flashing in general. I used to own a Samsung Captivate (which was so simple to flash! one click stock odin > root > rom manager> flash clockworkmod > reboot > install rom) i've been reading around and i honestly dont understand the guides on how to flash. Also has anyone with WIND Optimus 2x sucessfully flashed CM 7.1? If so do you notice better reception? better battery life? better performance? IS it worth it to flash?
Can someone please make a step by step guide on how to flash WIND Optimus 2x, for noobs (like me) i see there are many and it's just confusing! i dont want to brick my phone, its been a week since ive had it, and the only problem i noticed is at night school i dont get reception (even though on wind's website its covered there), and the battery life is poor. Anyways please help me im eager to install cyanogenmod, but am afraid at the same time of bricking my device. THanks for reading my thread!
I don't understand what is so confusing. The guides on this forum are easy to follow.
First install Clockworkmod Recovery using One Click NVFlasher
Link to thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
And then boot into recovery by holding down power + volume down. Backup your current rom and then install the rom of your choice. You need a physical sd card in the phone to backup the rom.
I don't think it could be any easier.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/LG_G2x:_Full_Update_Guide
That takes care of rooting+flashing. Don't worry, you can't easily brick this thing.
why cant we use internal SD card? i dont mind i have an 8GB external i just think it would be easier if we had internal SD, like i said this is confusing such as somewhere i read that i have to take out the battery and wait until s/w? or something to flash clockwork mod ugh
sowe dont have to use NVFLASH? im scared of bricking the device if i dont use it lol .. has anyone on wind gotten bricked/

Think about it. You're backing something up onto itself. You'll be making backups of backups. If you insist, just search for it, there's a way to change the mount moints. We do have to nvflash, I forgot to mention that, my bad. NVFLASH is very easy, you can't brick with it.
it is indeed very difficult to brick this phone. the only time it happens is when u are doing a recovery in clockwork, and pull the battery out in the middle.
but then you pull the battery, enter into the actual recovery using your computer.

Questions answered about the p3113

Alright, I have been answering threads for simple stuff about rooting, and modding the p3113, and its cousins. If you have questions about how to do anything, please post them here, and I, and others will help you. This way we can keep a running q/a thread without flooding the forum with the same question. I am in the process of writing new how to's so hopefully we have the answers to your questions in a easy to find thread. Happy new year.

Is there an alternative place to find espressowifi-recovery-5-18.tar.md5 other than from goo.im...
Or what could I use for an alternative,
Thanks
RESOLVED: The ODIN flash did work after I used the right tar file.
I buried this in another Q&A thread and have no replies so far. Maybe you could give me some advice.
I tried flashing one of those firmwares for 4.1.1 which was only 357 MB and it got stuck at the boot screen, It seems I had bad instructions I followed with a link to an incomplete flash file, perhaps part 1 of a 2 part download. When it flashed it last said it was updating remaining files and then went back to the recovery, When I rebooted it stuck at the recovery even after a data wipe. I tried flashing a 3113 rooted stock rom and it gives me an E:signature verification failed. I used odin to flash the 4.04 stock rom which passes, but it still freezes at the boot screen even after a data wipe. Should I try flashing CWM recovery through odin to get around the signature verification or does someone know another procedure that has worked to get back to stock 4.04 from this condition. I have seen this mentioned a couple of times in the development threads with users indicating that they got back to stock, but without details of exactly how.
The firmware I apparently partially flashed was GT-P3113_P3113UECLI4-OTA-P3113UEBLH2_XAR_374372839
Also I was not able to see if usb debugging was enabled since I could not do anything but recovery or download modes on the tablet.

How do I get back to stock and have no root access at all. I dont mean just flash a deodexed ROM and say thats it. I want to completely recover my device (P-3110 , same as P-113 just no IR blaster) to the original settings as supplied by Samsung.I need it to be fully updateable via kies and accept OTA updates.

Power button and the Volume button directly next to the Power button will bring you into "Recovery mode".
Power button and the Volume button furthest away will bring you into "Download mode".
To boot into "Safe mode" When the tablet is on press the power button till the reboot menu appears then press and hold the Reboot button , until you get the option to boot into safe mode. Reboot and you are good to go.
Thought I'd try this rather than a new thread.
Hi Jeramy, hopefully you have some advice.
My problem: I want to be able to install some apps on the SD card, and still use the stock 4.1.2 that I upgraded to using Kies.
What I've discovered so far:
Samsung doesn't like moving apps to SD (Link2SD for example which makes a soft link in the normal Samsung place to the SD card)
First must jailbreak
Jailbreaking uses "odin" (something to put Roms on) and a ROM
So far I've got Link2SD, and downloaded some ROMs, but there doesn't seem to be a good ROM that is basically just the stock + superuser. I do see some for France etc.
One thought I had is will this work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887757
Wherein they install some Zip somehow. What's the CWM do? Is it version dependent?
Anyhow, thanks I hope this makes some sense.

Moving apps to SD went out with ICS 4.0.4 Goggle dropped it from Android as not needed, not useful anymore.
@Sean Seany
Thanks Sean for picking up the question. I have been shirking my duties here, and I apologize. Are you serious about your question, or are you pulling my leg. I know you have been around here much longer than I have, and have answered one of my questions already. If you are serious though, cant you just Odin back to stock with official firmware, and take the ota? This is my first Samsung so I am learning as I go. Though rooting Samsung's is so much easier than my Rezound. We have to short the board with a paperclip to achieve s off on it.
Edit, I used this to install the official from UK.(p3110) on my p3113. Complete stock. I would imagine you would do the same, just use all 3110 files.:thumbup:

[HOWTO][P3113] Revert to Stock Android 4.0.4 ICS build UEBLH2
P.S. I love having friends all over the world, love the alternate views of people from other nations. Mind friending me on here, even though you are leaving these threads? Big bonus of the xda world community.
@ QFX
First, sorry. I havent checked this thread today, and whenever i need something answered, i want it yesterday. It sounds to me like you haven't been in the android world too long. If you have, I mean no disrespect. So far, I have ran a few custom ROMs, but the stock experience is really smooth in my opinion. My best advice is to try a couple, and see what you like.Now to answer your questions. Clockworkmod is a custom recovery that allows you to backup your tablet in the state it is in when you make the back up. It also allows you to flash custom ROMs Like the ones you downloaded. It is a must have if you plan on rooting(jail breaking). Yes they are version specific.There are guides that will walk you through this, and it is pretty simple. If you look in the threads for cf auto root, the thread will walk you through it. After you do this, you will need to flash Clockworkmod. It is in the same threads. Look under development. Both of these files have to be flashed through odin on your computer. As soon as you flash Clockworkmod, reboot into recovery, and make a backup. This way, you can flash other ROMs, and if you want to go back, just restore your backup in Clockworkmod. I am crashing in a few, but will send you links to the files that you need tomorrow. Remember to read the guides a couple of times to make sure you understand everything before you try. After I send you the links, if you need additional help, pm me, and I will walk you through it. Good luck, and have fun

Apps2sd no longer works, but there is a script that allows you to switch your Mount points for external, and internal storage. I have a class 10 32 gig SD card that now works as my internal storage. The only thing is that you have to manually switch the files between the two at the start so the os can find what it is looking for. I will send you a link for that too.

p-3113 Swap ExternalSDCard 2 Internal
Voice sound driving me nuts
I just updated Tab 2 7.0 P3113 to stock jellybean (not rooted), and now every time I swipe to a different screen it tells me which screen I am on. How can I turn this off?
I believe if you add something like a shortcut, then remove it, the message will go away. Let's try something easy like this first.

I just got this thing for christmas and I really want to root it so as I can use my ps3 controller to play games , unfortunately I'm a noob and have absolutely no idea where to start or how to do it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hey stark. Here is a Odin flashable zip that will give you root, Clockworkmod, and has Odin in it as well. Download it, unzip it on your PC, and place the cf root file somewhere easily accessible. Install Odin, then follow the guide. Pm me if you need any more help.

I don't think that Google did this. My friend has a Galaxy II running 4.2.1 (custom ROM CM10) and can move apps to the external SD card.
I've tried rooting the my tab and installing the latest stable CM10 ROM but I still don't get the option.

Unfortunately I can't get this to work on cm 10.1....does anyone have a way to swap it on cm 10.1?
I don't think it will work on aosp. It has to do with the mount points .

I'm trying to root a galaxy tab 2 7.0 p3113 on 4.1.1. What I'm wondering is, can I use the same stuff as the 4.0.4 that I found in the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788625 or are there specific files for 4.1.1?

Hi Jeremy,
I just rooted my 3113 and I've lost my external sd card when looking in my files. It is however showing that my internal storage is 29.7G. Obviously I've gone and loused the thing up somehow.. After exhaustively searching the fourms, installing "ntfs mounter" and "ntfssd," trying to mount from CW, and trying different cards - I'm more than a little fustrated. I just realized that the movies that I had on the internal memory are not showing either. Any help for a "12:00 Flasher: would be appreciated
I've got CW and I used "gtab2_jellybean_rooter"
@ caniknow it sounds like you flashed the partition swap that swaps the external, and internal memory. Try powering off, and removing ad card, then reboot. See if it can't see internal at all. That will give me some idea of what is going on. I highly recommend cf auto root for jellybean. Super simple, and works without issues.
@ rains try cf autoroot.

Ok, I did as you suggested
After rebooting without the card: Memory shows 4.49GB
Movies stored on internal have returned
My Files show correct list again
YAY!!! It's not broken!
Ok, now with the 32G card (formatted NTFS - forgot to mention that) reinstalled, the memory has reverted to 29.7GB and showing everything (yes, everything from internal memory; though it is showing that there are memory using applications, file and such, though different amounts) has disappeared once more. GRRR
Tried NtfsSd to mount card: nodda. Tried Ntfs Mounter again: nodda Tried powering down and loading CW, inserting the card and mounting there: nodda Tried touching my left ear whilst standing on one foot in 10" of snow and holding the power button, then swiping left, left, down, uppercut, triangle, square.... once again, nothing.
Back to without the card and rebooting. Everything normal. ?????? I'm now at a total loss.
All I want is to seemlessly transfer my +12GB movies from my media storage to the tab and watch them in the car using the bluetooth interface for the sound. I need the NTFS to do this without chopping the movie into little bits that ruins the sound - and so began this quest which is turning out to be epic. Please help me slay the monster that is my lack of programming knowledge.

[Q] Gots to reset the phone

Hi guys and girls. Noob here with just enough knowledge to totally f stuff up. Any ways, I have a Galaxy S model sgh-t959v. I rooted it and installed Bionix rom from team whiskey. I used this one because at the time, it was the only one I could find that would actually load on the phone. I was probably trying to use the wrong roms or whatever. Any ways, I am now experienceing the low mem lvls and various problems. Basically I would like to start fresh and brand new, clear the phone completely and install a better rom. I did a seach on the forum and there are several posts on how to fix the low mem problem, but for some reason my phone wont reboot into a state taht I can install them from sd card. It only gives me the option to wipe data, no install from sd card. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks and have a great new year.
