Hi everyone, I'm new here, i did register a while ago but i do not sign in that often, i thought of getting an iPhone 4 but i never liked being constricted to an OS. I liked the Nexus S as it is way better than the iPhone for me.
Anyways i just got a brand new Nexus S but it didn't launch here, I'm living in Dubai and i need to root the Nexus S , well not really but if i didn't ill miss out the:
1.Arabic keyboard and Reading Arabic in websites,
2.I will miss out the market enabler, because here we r limited to the free apps only
*Plus I'm not sure if MMS will work because now its NOT working even with the "ETISALAT" APN settings provided, but the 3G did work.
So my questions are:
1. Do i need to Root ? if YES -which is the best way, and -do i need to backup and -how do i backup ?
2. If i did root will i lose my OTA updates that are coming from Google, if NOT then will they unroot my device if i installed them ?
3. Does anybody know how to enable Arabic and install the best or original Arabic looking keyboard for Nexus S ?
Hi all,
I start this thread since I reported it yesterday in the support page but the issue was closed today (even when there are more people with the same problem). The issue details are available at http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4586
The problem is after restoring apps or apps+data using Titanium Backup Pro or Mybackup Pro in Cyanogenmod or MIUI ROMs.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000) with CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6, JVK radio,
gapps-gb.20110828-signed and I am using the Cyanogenmod 7.1 stable for my device.
I installed CM 7.1 9 times and I tried it 9 times (7 times after a clean installation). The problem is that I start receiving many FC's (mostly gapps app, folder organizer app, hotmail app, picplz app and phonebook app but there are more apps affected) when I try to restore user apps + data using Titanium Backup Pro (I tried 2 versions) or Mybackup Pro (v3.0).
If I restore only the user apps (with no data) no problem but after configure the apps manually FC's appear again and I can't do anything (one or two FC per second).
I only have this problem using any MIUI and CyanogenMod ROMs, no problem with other Froyo or Gingerbread based ROMs (eg: Criskelo v75 [based on 2.2.1, JS8], Criskelo v79 [based on 2.3.4, JVQ], Darky Rom extreme 10.2.2 [based on 2.3.4, JVQ]).
I even tried going to Titanium Backup preferences and changing the app processing mode to "Auto, Indirect" but problem perssisted.
I have apps installed using apk files and Market apps (none other Market app installed). Obviously I can't attach anything since I am unable to do anything in the phone due to I receive 1 or 2 FC per second.
No matter the number or wipes I do before or if it is a clean installation: always the same problem. More people with the same problem: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/34286-constant-fc/
Can anybody help on it since Cyanogenmod developpers refused that (they closed my ticket without any comment or help).
Thanks and regards.
I think I found the reason why /data/data folder size is only 170 MB: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/29756-datadata-partition-size/ I think that it is the problem.

Sorry if it wasn't the right section to post the problem: I thought it was the more suitable. Where should I have posted it? Could you please move it or tell me the right section (and I will post there)?
Sorry again. Regards.

other than stock, I've only used cyanogen roms...and after numerous nightlies, I've gotten to the point that if I'm going to try a new one, I just prepare my self to start clean...basically don't restore everything...
even in the situations where things seems stable..like throwing a new nightly over the top of the existing..it only lasts a few days, or maybe a week...before it start FCing everything and then gets into a boot loop.

I just want to use the Cyanogenmod stable realease, not a nightly. But I don't like the 170 MB (well, 153 MB because problems appear when reaching 90% of 170 MB available in /data/data) limitation. I have a Samsung Galaxy S, why should I be limitted as if I have a HTC Wildfire??????? I have maid much more than people who has a Wildfire so I should be able to use all my device features, such as the internal storage.
It is being handled by devs: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4600

Your question is not related at all to this thread. Please, search for any MIUI ROM thread and read it (it's explained in all the MIUI ROMs threads) and you will know the answer.

Have some trouble to install Google play an error with com.android.vending, I think I have to put it with Titanium Backup but can't do anything, even root the phone because of the USB which is not detected :/ ...
King of fake.
I've tried some china phone at some store. But It's seem very bad!
Hi,
I upgraded my ROM version (Stock) and lost my Google TTS service,
I only have the Pico one..
I do have Google Now and its working with the good smooth fluently unrobotic voice, but I can't make it to work with other apps..
I tried many kinds of apps but they all choose to use the Pico service (I don't have any more option in settings)
I guess I lost the .apk file on the system/apps for that..
Could anyone please upload that for me?
I don't know how its called, just upload everything looks familiar or has the word Google voice/TTS/text to speak/ speach/ idk..
Or perhaps you are familiar with that problem and know exactly what the solution for that is,
That would be great,
I'm running Android 4.2.2 on Sony Xperia Z (rooted with Stock de-odexed ROM)
Thanks ahead!!
Yarden.
Is there any possible way to install touchwiz launcher on Moto E2 without root or installing custom rom.
Any working flashable zip is available ?
Also provide instructions for installation of the same.

It would be best if it is without root. But if its there with root it will also work.
I tried S Launcher and some launchers from the play store but it does not give me tge same samsung interface.
Also provide method to install as well as uninstall the same.
Thanks in advance.

If your going for root and have a custom ROM installed them you can just download a theme from play store that will help you
But if you wanna so it on stock then there's no other option to do it without launcher
Also I would prefer root because theme will give you a better interface everywhere not only in app drawer but also in settings,notification drawer etc !!

Ok no problem. Provide me the instructions for installation with root.
Can it be done just by rooting the device without installing a custom rom. It would be delightful if that is possible.
Just like we flash a zip file for some apps to be installed.

To root your device you can refer to another thread on XDA
Custom ROM is necessary for theme effect !!

I don't really understand what you mean by that. Firstly be sure whether you wanna root you device or not . It's a risky job indeed to root the device . make sure you refer to the thread properly and have all the requirements. If you don't want all this stuff to be done then enjoy the launcher effects.

1. I want to root the device (Only if it is required).
2. I want to install the custom rom (Only if it is required).
3. I want the complete galaxy transformation pack (My phone should look completely like samsung).
4. I want the instructions to install all this.
5. I also want instructions to uninstall all this in case if I want to bring back the stock default system.

Thank you for your reply. This is similar to what I want.
I want to use whole samsung interface on my moto E2
(Samsung default messaging app, phone dialer etc etc , everything samsung)
The launcher which you have given works good and also provides the look which I want but I also want all the apps from samsung devices.

I've tried this as on my moto e but not with a Samsung interface, i tried this with the HTC sense 7 interface, by Xpirit here on XDA, but this made my moto e slow and laggy.
I also tried a windows phone interface with windows apps, I didn't like it.
Samsung's touchwiz is renowned for being laggy and slow on Samsung devices, why you want need this on a moto E is beyond me, but that's your choice!
What a full touchwiz port would run like on a moto e 2015 I can't say, because I don't know!
Just a small word of caution.........
I find that unless you flash a "themed" custom ROM, you won't get the "full" other manufacturer effect you desire, some element will still be stock android or "basic"
I haven't found any good themed custom ROMs for the moto e 2015, I'm not saying there isn't any, I just haven't found them.
But what I have found is placing different launchers, themes, overlays and xposed mods slow my moto e down to a crawl, performance is drastically affected.
Please consider this before you go ahead (you don't have to take my advise, any modification you choose to make is up to you)
Good luck

I have an idea but not sure about its success. You could go to any Samsung galaxy 4, 5 or 6 XDA and download its Deodexed Stock ROM
After doing that, try extracting the system.img and from the system image, you will get an app folder which will have the system apps. Choose what you like and copy those to your phone. As I said, I'm not sure whether this works.:laugh::laugh:
P.S : And yeah, just like @ivan39 said, y do you need a touchwiz background!! I mean, I owned a Samsung. It was a nightmare. I didn't even keep it for 6 months. Exchanged it for a moto e2. Just y?

I had several Samsung's, last one I had was an s9000i or s1 someone gave to me, it was the easiest to root/flash ROMs/make mods for, but it was the slowest and had the most pathetic performance of any any smartphone I've owned.
I'll personally never have another Samsung, I now only buy phones that are stock or pure android, I find them much better without all that bloat!
I did notice a lot of those horrible cheap Chinese handsets available have a touch wiz like interface, maybe you could find a port of that?
Edit
A discussion/disagreement at work today regarding theming ect......
Someone happened to notice my own moto e homescreen looks like the nexus 5x.
I only use the "beach drone" nexus 5x wallpaper, and I use Nova launcher with its standard marshmallow icons, but that's where the similarities with the Nexus ends.
I use the CLock weather/clock widget with google now weather icons that the nexus doesn't, and I also use a different google search widget on my home screen to the nexus.
The gentleman who took me to task over "copying" the nexus home screen could not grasp the fact android is so customisable, and as he had his own moto e 2015 with the standard launcher, the yellow disk wallpaper, he didn't see the point to change it.
His argument was I have a ford focus C max as my car, but its not badged as a Bugatti or a Porsche.....
So if a Motorola looks like something else, it is something else and I'm messing around with stuff I "know nothing about"
I explained about theming/launchers/XDA/mycolourscreen/themer and icon packs but I'm afraid it fell on deaf ears and this man was quite upset I had changed my handset so Much from standard.
Point I want to make is we all make our devices what we want, that's the beauty of android.
If you want a Samsung theme, good. If I want to try out HTC sence 7 (that I love but its laggy on my moto e) then that's great.
Its all about individuality and we mustn't let others tell us different!
If you want samsung why not just buy it?
