I got Cyanogen Mod 10 but Chainfire3D doesn't support it. How can i boot multiple roms on my device?(Bootmanager isn't supported but i haven't tried it yet)
Tab: Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0(GT-P3100)
Regarding chainfire3d all i read in this forum use device spoofer app or manually change buildprop file using root file manager as root explorer app but make a nandroid backup first !!!
by this way they change screen dpi setting to allow for games not intended for our device dpi to work
As i know chainfire said in Twitter that he will not update chainfire 3d anymore
Regarding multiple boot i did not read anything in forums about this may be in the future by app like lolliboot from hellcat or kernel as sayih kernel that allow multiple boot do not try these at tab not supported yet for s2 only may brick tab

You could make a nandroid backup of your existing ROM, then flash a new one. Not the best method for it i agree , but its a workaround for testing out new a ROM. Simply boot into recovery and "restore" the original ROM when needed.
I have tried it and it works but as i said its not the best way to do things. Id love to dual boot on my Tab

EVO 4G
Installed z4root and I am rooted
Installed titanium backup pro.
remove app with titanium and it confirms and shows a line through them
app remains on main app folder and wont delete.
Also used root explorer and removed the APK file but app remains on main app folder and wont delete.
any ideas??
Thanks!
To my knowledge z4root only does a temporary root on HTC devices(unless there's been an update I haven't seen). To remove an app permanently with titanium you need to long press and select force remove by recovery exploit (something along those lines). Just make ABSOLUTELY SURE it is safe to remove and you don't want it back. Once its gone its gone. But I could be wrong with this, just my experience using z4root on the Droid Inc. I believe other HTC devices are the same.

it says its deleting the file and it even has a line through it but it remains
If you do it the way I said above, your phone will reboot to remove the app. After that it will be completely gone, it won't even be in the list anymore. That's why I said to make sure you want it gone and that it is safe to remove.
Edit: the reason the app remains I believe, is that the HTC phones are a nand locked device. I'm not sure what all that means exactly but without a nand unlock this is the only way I have been able to remove apps from HTC's.
Read up on unrevoked, that will unlock the nand on your phone allowing you to write to /system mount. With nand locked you cannot write superuser to system/bin. I think the link is www.unrevoked.com <-- not sure if that's correct but you can google for it if its not. Hope this helps

How To: Backup Your Apps, Data & Settings BEFORE You Root/Change ROMs on Your Device!
I recently rooted my Evo 4G and since I had been using it for a while didn't want to lose all of my settings and data and didn't want to sit for hours installing apps and trying to set them each up the way I had them beforehand. None of the root guides that I've found seem to cover this critical first step before they get into the process of rooting the device. So a lot of people root and flash a new ROM and then realize all of their stuff is gone. So, here's how to back everything up before you root or change ROMs:
1) Locate/Download/Install Z4Root to your device. (It appears as though it was removed from the market due to people using it to get temp root in order to use hot spot tethers. The apk can be found in a thread on this forum here)
2) Install Titanium Backup from the market (I recommend the full version because it makes the restore process a one touch option whereas the free one requires you to click 'Install' and then 'confirm' for each individual app which can be a royal PITA if you have lots of apps)
3) Install 'Root Check' from the market
4) Launch Z4 and use to gain temporary root access of your device. Use Root Check to make sure you indeed do have root access.
5) Launch Titanium Backup and grant superuser permissions where necessary
6) Click the center option at the top of the screen after Titanium checks all possible scenarios. Scroll through the options and find the option (usually has the highest number on the right... or real close to it) that backs up all your apps + system data and settings. Allow it to complete this process which can take a bit.
7) Once this is complete back out of Titanium Backup and reboot your device. This will remove the temporary root access from the device. When the device has settled run Root Check one last time to make sure don't have root access.
8) Proceed with your favorite root/ROM process & enjoy not having to waste hours setting up your phone again the way you had it. When you recover make sure you chose the option to recover all missing apps and all data/settings because if you choose to recover ALL apps you can run into issues with the apps it tries to override.
Now, sometimes there are minor issues from ROM to ROM or device to device when you backup from one platform and then recover on another but for the most part it will save you a LOT of time. You can also try a reboot or two after you recover which can help with some settings that don't show up immediately after a recover. I did this before rooting my Evo 4G and it worked flawlessly.
Thanks and hopefully that helps.
Cool. I never thought about backing up while in temp root. Good find.

Should be fine as it's still just app data. I haven't personally tested it to confirm though so proceed at your own risk.
clockwork mod
busybox
titanium backup
What do those 3 do and is there a guide to them that better explains everything?
So... anyone? I need help with this.
which phone you are using?
clock work mod (cwm) can be install by Rom manager application
first root your device
install rom manager from play store
open the app and click flash the cwm
install busy box that increase phone
from titanium backup you can backup all your phone apps and contacts..

since your device is not on the xda so you have to find other ways...
my advice is to find your device on facebook...if there is a group over there you can get on with other people with similar devices and contact a devloper for making a rom...

Surprised there was a forum for it when they have guides on rooting the phone.
> Clockworkmod
Is an alternative recovery manager
> Busybox
Is a set of commandline binaries
>Titanium Backup
Is a backup app.

Titanium Backup for backing up files?
Recently rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. As of now I'm running Cyanogen Mod 10. Before that I was using Cyanogen Mod 9.0. However I've experienced the same issue with both roms. My favorite apps wouldnt open. However Google play store works so I figured its not my gapps.
1) Spotify- just shows a blank screen nothing else.
2) Evernote- not able to create the database file and tells me to restart the device and make sure my memory card isn't full.
3). Lecture Note- App needs a directory at the media/shared/external storage (SD card) to store the notebook.
So just by searching the forum and not seeing much on the topic, I figured I missed something in the process.
I don't use titanium backup and neither am I familiar with it. But if I have to learn then please tell me so.
I've always wiped before flashing roms.
I know CM 10 is a nightly and all that jive but I really like it. But without apps working then it is useless for me.
Oh and not sure if this is related but every download from a hyperlink on a web page results in a download unsuccessful.

May be try to reflash rom again latest nightly for your specific device + flash gapps jellybean not ics + full wipe after flashing those (wipe cash+wipe dalvik cash in advanced options)
If not working so try wipe data of apps you want in setting
If not so send messages to developers may be their apps not compatible with jellybean need update

Netflix
My device P5113 4.04 stock
I rooted using this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056 but now netflix will load up, and I go to play a video and load forever then i get error 11003(note netflix works fine on my phone/ps3).
Does any body know a fix for this?
The original reason i rooted was to attempt to move the notification bar to the top (i hate it at the bottom b/c I constantly hit buttons). So i tried to do this:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18063-move-the-status-bar/
(1) download ES File Explorer
(2) go to settings and activate root explorer and mount r/w
(3) navigate to /system/
(4) click on build.prop and select "ES Note Editor"
(5) look for the line item called "ro.sf.lcd_density=160"
(6) edit it to read "ro.sf.lcd_density=161"
(7) exit and save the file
(8) reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and I broke android(would not boot, go only a black screen) b/c i added this to the file, because i didn't find it, so i had to reinstall.
So my other question is is there anyway to move the status/notification bar to the top? Im about to go back to stock but, i will root again if i can fix netflix.
i've rooted my device with the Exynos exploit and installed titanium backup pro but i am not sure where to start when it comes to transferring app data to a sd card, any tips? can anyone recommend me some app data to sd apps that are simple to use and does the job?

Now that you have root you have 2 options I'm aware of for our device. What your trying to accomplish is a link between your actual data folder where apks get installed by default on your internal memory to a replicated directory on your external storage. The device will install data to its default location but then this link will just move it for you to the mirrored directory. Zedomax and tweaker have both made a script to do this. Tweakers script seems to be a cleaner better method but is more user intensive to implement. Zedos script, which im using now is simple to use and it gets the job done. I've had no issues using it on any rom that has init.d support. Stock firmware will not work however, even with root so you'll need to install a rom with init.d support. Theres the recent stock jelly bean in android dev that has this now. Also our dev community has been busy and you got a few choices if youd like a custom rom as well.
To make that happen youll need a custom recovery that youll install with a pc program called odin. Thats a simple procedure shouldnt take more than a few minutes. Also you could do the same with an android app called mobile odin though I haven't done it this way myself so I may not be the best person to ask how. After the recovery has been installed youd want to backup your stock rom then flash your init.d supported rom of choice after a full wipe, then once thats completed flash zedos script, reboot and then everyones favorite: profit!!
If your still reading this at this point and thinking youd like to give it a shot let me know, I can point you to the relevant threads and maybe fill in some blanks on some areas where you need to read between the lines. Good luck and know I think its worth the time my redemption install is terrific, definitely an improvement over stock jellybean imo.
