[Q] Help connecting my Galaxy S Blaze w/ Provision V3 to my computer. - Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

Usually when I connect my phone to my computer, it gives me an option to activate USB storage and I can transfer data between PC and phone. I just installed the latest version of Provision and I can't find any option anywhere on how to link my phone to my PC. Can someone tell me how I link them?
Also, can I reinstall widgets such as TaskKiller? I tried via Google Play and I can't find it on my phone.

For the USB storage. You go into settings/storage then press menu key. Click USB Connection and then it gives you a few options. Click USB mass storage.. Now when you connect your phone to the computer, it will ask if you want to transfer files..

I tried that, it would show the options then they would all close. I ended up starting from scratch and reinstalling Provision and now I'm waiting for it to boot again. It took several hours last time, is that normal and should I expect that again? If not, what am I doing wrong?
EDIT: Nevermind, I got it working. I just had to clear the dalvik and wipe data. I got all of my apps, widgets, and songs back. Noob mistake, probably should've looked into what I was doing a little bit more before I just started installing things, definitely more complex than jail breaking an iPhone/iPod. Let this be a lesson to any other noob who stumbles upon this thread. Don't be cautious with deleting your data, it will be backed up and you'll get it all back. I love Provision, great work!

Since I can't yet post on the original thread, I'll post my feedback here:
•The battery is dying quicker than it normally would with this. I listen to music throughout the day and before I got Provision, it would be at about 80% at this time of the day, but now it's at 60%. I believe the cause might be Ac!d, Dolby, and DPS manager. Also, I downloaded a task manager app (it would be great if you could include the stock task manager for s Blazes, that one is by far the best) and the Play Store refuses to close.
•The pull down menu is a little buggy, sometimes it only comes down a little bit, then shoots back up. The problem is usually fixed over time, but can be annoying.
•I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I can't install Swype onto my phone. I have a Zip file for it and I followed instructions exactly and it won't install. I tried going to Settings>Language & Input>Default>Set up input methods to find it, but then Settings crashes. If I could make a suggestion for a future update, I think the Swype keyboard would be a nice addition. I tried TouchPal, but it was just an awful experience.

*I deleted DSP manager from the ROM. It can't be AC!D and Dolby because it only turns on when your listening to music. Like I said on the Provision Thread, use different kernels like LZ or Blue lighting. Play store is fine in my end..
*I have no idea why the notification drawer does that. A quick fix is to just hit notifications again then close it..
*Look for a Swype apk. There are apks lying around XDA like the Beta one. To install it, just click on it like any other apk.. If it doesnt install, push it to system/app and set permissions.

I tried installing the update for 3.1 but when I boot my phone I get a constant message saying that Trebuchet has stopped. What did I do wrong?

1. App killers are useless...this is a Linux system not a bloated wincrap.
2. Beta Swype installs fine.
3. Pull down menu is extremely buggy. I have to relock and unlock my phone up to 5 times to get it to pull down.
4. the kernel that came with this is CM10 (i think), so yeah it will drain fast. Install LZ 2.3.6

Get a file explorer, delete any unnecessary folders cache ,the Lost.Dir folder, clear downloads you don't need should free up a lot of space. Screenshots can be took by pressing power and volume down, or go to settings/ power menu/ add screenshot,

This is what it looks like when my phone says I have no USB storage left. It says to clear my SD card of some pictures, but there aren't much pictures and these bars are barely half full. This is the last thing I'll hopefully need help with.

android.process.media force close! FIX

I know some of you have been having problems with a force close message that looks like this: Android.process.media is not responding please force close or retry.
I have done search after search only to find one way that ultimately fixes this annoying every second force close message.
1. Make sure your phone is rooted.
2. Using a file explorer of your choice go into the directories as follows:
/system/app/
3. Delete this file from the menu, mediaprovider.apk
4. Force close messages will now stop. Horray!
If you have questions post them. I will do my best to answer.

i tried it on my G2 and it hasn't worked yet. Had to give ES FileExplorer root.
Have a great morning!
..........
media.process force close issue rooted htc desire
I fixed this problem without any further issues by clearing the download cache - I'm just as surprised as you.
staplesdroid said:
Yea like I said you must have a rooted phone!!!. Did it work after you gave es file root?
Another great program in root explorer. You can get it from ww w. 4shared .co m
Go there type in rootexplorer .apk and it will have multiple downloads. Just pick one and run it.
You can get all the paid apps for free like that. Just type in .apk after the app you want is typed in for example: rootexplorer .apk or irunner .apk or androidbanking .apk..... you get the picture?

Or you could get it from the market, and pay for it, and support the developers. But if you want to be a thief, that's your decision.

I'm not trying to piss anyone off. Sorry if you don't agree with that. But 3.99 for a file explorer. Come on.

why patronize piracy?
I live in Asia, where pirated software/apps are more prevalent than legit ones. That is because software like Microsoft Windows is economically out of reach for the man on the street.
But $3.99? Come on! We shouldn't expect devs to continue churning out useful code without getting paid for it. If the developers of Titanium Backup or Root Toolbox had decided early on that it wasn't worth it to develop apps for Android or WinMo, we'd all still be in the Dark Ages of the cellphone era. Making custom ROMs is not the same. For one, many of them were based on stock firmware--which were made by highly-paid software engineers at phone makers in the first place.
What the Android Market offers for free, I download for free. When it has a price and I need it, I pay for it. Simple as that.
1) the fix listed above worked perfectly for me. (HD2, gingerbread, CM7)
2) paying for an app is the right thing to do. free ones are preferred, of course. you know it, i know it, they know it. support open source, support the community. pay it forward.

Thanks for the tip mate. I got rid of FC's after removing mediaprovider. But after removing it cannot access any sort of media like photos, ringtones etc :-D. Any other work around?

Yep, this is actually a horrible fix. For me, it did nothing except stop me from accessing any of my media. So if you don't care about listening to music, viewing any photos, having ringtones, viewing video you have taken etc, this MIGHT work for you. I had to dig out the mediaprovider.apk from the .zip of my ROM and replace it.
I fixed mine by restoring my last Titanium Backup ("restore all apps with data"). Whatever was corrupted was restored back to working order. I understand that not everyone has Titanium Backup, but it has save my a$$ a couple of times now when an app or system file has started acting weird. Root your phone and get TB, it's so worth it.
EDIT: OK, so the problem came back after I replaced mediaprovider.apk, so apologies for that. I booted into recovery and did a factory/data reset, then restored my Titanium Backup, and all seems to be good now. Again, I understand this may not help everyone, but it worked for me, and it avoids deleting apk files without fully understanding what effect it will have.

I have a droid 2 global. i tried deleting the file and it says i cant. is there anything else i can do? i cant access my pics, music, or market.

I had the same problem with my Asus transformer. In addition the default Music player did not work anymore as it used to (played the wrong numbers).
The above solution did not work for me (I could get to the files mentioned without rooting).
Sofar I got the problem solved as followed.
1. I found an new version 4 of the Music player (com.google.android.misic.4.0.9.apk) and installed this version
2. This by itself did not solve anything, but now I could reinstall the factory original version and now everything is OK.
No forced closing anymore and the default player works as before
I hope it stays this way.

I've just updated to latest Oxygen on my Huawei U8800, and was having that same issue.
After reading this post, I've updated with TB the application "[Playlists] Media Storage 2.3.7 (10)" and it solved it.
It seems that my custom playlists of the music app were causing it...

Android market v3.0.2.7

Here's the new Android Market. And its the one I'm currently using and it has a few updates. Hope you all enjoy. You may need to uninstall the old market updates in order for this to install.
Go to settings/applications/manage applications. Then tap on "all" scroll down to "Market". Tap on the app and select uninstall updates. The install the apk you dl.
http://db.tt/xwRztJu
Also here's the new market in black. Its just the apk so to install it. You must have root. Then use root explorer or a file manger that has root access. Then copy and paste it to system/apps. Then change permissions. To do this using root explorer simply just long press on any app that's in the system folder and select permissions. Then look how the permissions are selected for that apk. Then long press on the new black market apk you just pasted in the folder and select permissions. Then check the boxes as you just seen on the apk that you first long pressed on to check permissions. Then make sure the folder is mounted as r/o which is "read only". You can do this by looking at the top right hand corner of root explorer and it will be a tab that says r/w. Just tap that tab and it will change to r/o. Then hit menu then select exit. Then reboot.
You should see it in your app drawer as "" Black Market""
This is the latest version 3.0.27
Link on last page of thread. If any of you would like a flashable zip let me know.
but it will only be for Ra.1.6,1.7 or Cwm2.5.
Hope you guys can use it.

i couldn't get your file to download - not sure if it's a problem with the file itself, or just IE9. i did find a copy elsewhere tho.
anyway, does anyone know if you can disable update notifications like in the old market (i would go to my apps and settings and disable notifications). i don't see the option here anymore, but didn't know if there was a walkaround to do it anyway?
not that i'm complaining, but i don't like how the reviews aren't in date order anymore - makes it hard to tell if ppl are having problems with the newest app update...hopefully they'll change that in the future.
Is it just me or is anyone else unable to leave reviews/stars on apps? I keep ketting a message saying something like unable to leave feedback at this time or something. I have been having so many issues with this phone in last few weeks I am about to blow it up! lol
Probally ie9. Try a different browser or threw your phone. I just hit the link from my phone and it downloads.

yes I installed. was easy except I had to save the .so file as no known program that I could find would open or install it including Snappea which I normally use for my apk files, 7zip, and Free File Viewer. so I mounted my phone, opened it as a viewable drive and copy/pasted it to my app folder on my sd. installed the other file via Snap, change permissions....followed the instructions, basically.
this launcher is sweet. it gives you lots of options, is easy to use, can uninstall apps and I don't know what all else without ever having to open your settings. the only complaint I might have would be that the icons on the folders are very small, a bit hard to see, but not a big deal as I think we all tend to memorize locations and content in our smart or regular type folders.
as far using it to install other roms, I have tried a bit using ROM Toolbox Pro and ROM Manager and no success as they want confirmation for CRM, and as I am sure you already know, there is no recovery currently available that I know of for the Event.
Also, as I viewed the files included in the download for the launcher, it came with and internet shortcut to SuperCharger, and I am gonna try that next, as it is supposed to work with all mods, stock or otherwise. description of this installer/launcher describes ability to use for the install of other mods but I need more information. this is the first android I have rooted and I am not ashamed to admit I am a green noob. I wish somebody would talk down to me and explain a bit better. as I peruse the forums i find a wealth of information but it is hard to put into action with some of the abbreviated instructions so prevalent from topic to topic. if you install and figure a way to mount jellycream, please advise, as i could use all the guidance available. much thanks and have fun. i will kudo this guy and see if he will point me in the right direction.
problem
A problem has emerged when I connect Event and turn on usb debug and mass storage. when the sd card becomes unavailable it turns all user/non-stock icons to little green android men on home page and changes app names to developer names. disconnect and reboot does not return icons or normal app names. tried to use Titanium Pro to restore but that didn't work either. any ideas?
bummer
I have tried everything, disabling stock launcher, and re-installing TouchWiz Home .apk 3 times, but every time I mount my phone as an external drive to load music all my non-stock apps turn to little green android men with mostly unidentifiable names. too bad as this was sweet. I am bummed out. nobody seems to be interested in this thread. would be nice to hear from developer... is there something I am doing wrong? ive checked the install on the .so, permissions... don't understand. please help. thanks. gonna have to uninstall in the mean time ;(

How to access IOTHiddenMenu?

So I am on CleanROMm 8.2. Yeah a little bit outdated. I have tried all the dialer methods and the creating a shortcut method with a different launcher. The hidden menu option does not appear in any of the activities in both Nova and Launcher Pro. I want to check if my phone is refurbished. (I know random for a phone this old), but I love it. So I want to check.
Anyone have any suggestions?
IOTHiddenMenu exists when I look it up in my apps. Just need to access it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
if your handphone was root, you can try edit file build.prop in /system
or download app build prop editor in Playstore, and add this
Code:
Property name: sys.hiddenmenu.enable
Property value : 1
Tried editing in build prop. No luck. I also added this property and value. Just can't access the menu anywhere. Not even in shortcuts!
Thanks for the help though!

You have to go into
/efs/carrier/hiddenmenu
(No extension, but its a text file)
Change the contents from "OFF" to "ON" and reboot.
Only works on TW ROMs though I think? Could be totally wrong on that, I guess it *is* only an app, and probably doesn't rely on TW framework.
And even then, only certain menu items still work. Back when the phone came out lots more work. Just google around for some codes you need and try them out.

Only works on TW ROMs though I think? Could be totally wrong on that, I guess it *is* only an app, and probably doesn't rely on TW framework.
And even then, only certain menu items still work. Back when the phone came out lots more work. Just google around for some codes you need and try them out.

So when I use ES File explorer to get to the efs folder...it is empty. -__- I know the application is installed because I installed it. The shortcuts still do not work though.
By the way thank you guys for the responses.

You must not have enabled "root" from the tools menu of ES browser. I think that's an EXTREMELY important folder for imei/efs/carrier stuff and it persists through ROMs, so every gs3 has stuff in it.

Cool! Did what you told me. Created the shortcut...still get the message "application not installed." I'm befuddled.

What exactly is it you're trying to do? Probably only available from the stock Samsung dialer as a guess, which means only TW ROMs.
Edit:
Just read you're on CleanRom which is TW based.
I don't really know what shortcut you're talking about, but pretty sure the app can't be run/opened like normal apps.
The way you open it is via dialer codes,
i.e. going into the stock Samsung dialer and typing codes such as *#0*# (dont click call/send, it will open automatically) to get to the extremely basic hardware diagnostic test.
Now, the average user isn't supposed to get into this menu, so most of the codes no longer work, since people figured out the ones to benefit themselves, such as the WiFi offloading which gets rid of the annoying "please connect to WiFi network" or whatever that was constantly in the notification bar.
The above code is one of the few that still work, you'll just have to google around to find some that still work on the 4.3 (?) TouchWiz rom.
Other than that, you may just be SOL, since they removed so many.
Good luck!

Cool thank you. ##786# worked for me. haha

lolipop vs my picture option headache

Not really hoping for answers since there's not many info in google, but well, here it is. this message was number 27500 on an "ask any question" thread and seemed like everyone just skipped it due to the detailed info I wrote and decide to answer the short ones
Just getting a new android 5.0.2 running cyanogenOS. The only thread here in xda can be found when typing "andromax cyanogen" in search box.
Now, the problems.
- bbm will show "bbm has stopped responding" with an OK button when I click on "picture" option to change display picture. However, clicking on "sample picture" and camera icon will do its job fine and the display picture will change accordingly.
- xda app will show "xdamobile has stopped responding" with an OK button when I click on the camera icon below.
- fb lite app will show "app has stopped responding" with an OK and report button when I try to attach a picture when replying to a post. But, when I created a post, I am able to include a picture on the post.
- upon reboot, phone will get stuck on cyanogen logo, randomly
- also randomly, phone refuse to wake up no matter what after being left untouched for at least 1 hour. Have to physically remove the battery and replug to be able to turn on phone.
What I did:
- upon the 3rd day of getting phone, I decide that I want to get titanium backup of apps so I can save my internet quota. So I root using Kingroot 4.5 and install TB to found out that physical sdcard is now useless and that's why the phone has generous space (1.88gb system, 4.77gb internal/legacy/emulated).
- I then searched xda and found out to add an extra line in /system/etc/permissions/profile.xml to make physical sdcard usable again. Then I found out about those apps errors. I thought, it must be the extra line that makes the os messed up.
- so I did a factory reset via settings. Didn't seem to actually clean everything up because when I click on playstore it recognizes my email add right away. Then I reboot into recovery, did a wipe media, wipe cache, wipe data/factory reset and then turned phone off, removes battery and physical sdcard.
- upon reboot it said "android os is upgrading" and it counted from 1-116. Now I thought it truly is clean, as it asked me my gmail address for Google playstore. I DIDN'T ROOT THIS TIME. The first thing I install is bbm, then I reboot before setting up bbm. Guess what. Upon setting bbm (waiting for that circle to stop spinning), when it came to, my bbm pin stays the same and the problem of unable to change display picture using the "picture" option still stick.
- then I searched around to find a way to reflash the phone and after I did, well, everything brand new and clean. But the same problems with those apps PLUS the later that I mentioned.
Does anyone has a clue of what's going on? Or what to search for, to be blamed as the culprit(s)? The info on this phone is very limited almost none available.
I have tried to make a trouble ticket from bbm app but using chrome and uc browser, the form would just keep reloading without being sent. Dunno what's wrong. Will try tomorrow using a computer, although I doubt that they will provide a satisfactory answer (like when I still actually uses a bb device, they insisted that my os5 device would have to run bbm8 in order for them to run a diagnostic and help me, which actually destroys my bb, that's why I moved on to another android beside this oppo)
Thank you for the time to read. I hope that someone would shed some light for the badly confused me :banghead:

Device giving problem is Haier G36C1H, known as AndromaxQ.
The only info available here in xda can be found when typing "andromax cyanogen" in search box. Google wise it will only give info on how to root which obviously a copy of info made available here in xda

Antutu Benchmark already gives almost the same info. I have a screenshot that I cannot post due to the problem.
Existed from day 1? Yes for bbm. Not sure about this xda mobile app as I was focused on "curing" bbm.
Well since you insisted, I took pictures of antutu info from the problem device. Let me edit some info and post the pics asap
