    Rooted Nexus 4 Titanium Backup Question..

    I have a rooted Nexus 4 (16GB). I have TitaniumBackup on it, and I'd like to do a full backup of the phone. My previous use of TB was on phones which had an external SDcard which I'd done all TB backups to the SDcard. Now, since the Nexus doesn't have any external SDcard (and I only have about...

    Nexus 4 root? Harder than I'd heard...

    Thanks for the replies.. I have adb and fastboot installed via the Android dev kit, but have never had to use fastboot for anything.. Will check xda for that guide.. Every rooting "toolkit" I found via Google assumed/required running from Windows. I used/supported Windows/Linux as a sysadmin for...

    Nexus 4 root? Harder than I'd heard...

    I just bought a Nexus 4, based on what I'd heard about how easy a Nexus phone is to root. Only been using it a couple of days, but am impressed, quite a snappy phone compared to my previous one, and how nice it is to NOT have all the carrier bloatware. So I started researching how to root it...

    Phone boots into recovery only..

    Update: adb insists there is no device present.. I KNOW adb is working fine, as I can connect my HTC G2 and adb sees it fine. Since I'm on Linux, I have udev rules for both my HTC and wife's LG.. Anyway, I've wasted enough time on this.. Since both of our phones are on the Ting MVNO, and Ting...

    Phone boots into recovery only..

    Thanks for the reply.. Will check out applying the stock rom via adb.. Hadn't tried that yet.. The fact that this EXACT failure occurs on three units of the same model, plus without being rooted or modded in any way makes me wonder just what the heck could be causing this.. Having flushed down...

    Phone boots into recovery only..

    I've bought two used Sprint/LG Optimus Elites and after a period of time they have both started only booting to the recovery screen. Both phones worked fine initially, and for quite a few months after purchase, but now both will only boot to the "Android system recovery". Both are stock Android...

    [ROM][BETA][4.1.2] AOKP Jelly Bean for Virgin Mobile and Sprint 10/21/2013

    Ok.. Just upgraded my Sprint/Ting Optimus Elite with this... Pretty painless, but a question.. I used the GApps listed above, but the Gmail app seems to be missing.. Since I use Gmail a LOT thats kind of a problem.. Since I backed up all of my apps with Titananium Backup from the stock rom, I...

    Calls go directly to voicemail randomly

    I read the AndroidCentral Forums article on the Mirage rom, and since it appears to be based on the CM7-IHO code, I *assume* it includes the wifi tether functionality that the Cyanogenmod 7.2.0.rc1-backside-iho rom I'm currently running has.. The info on the forum article never indicated whether...

    Calls go directly to voicemail randomly

    I'm in Las Vegas, and Sprint/VM seems to have really good coverage in the areas of town I frequent. When I wake the phone up and see a "no-service" indication, once the phone reacquires service, I'm seeing nearly full-bars on the signal strength indicator. I don't have any way to go back to...

    Calls go directly to voicemail randomly

    I have a rooted LG Optimus V with Cyanogenmod 7.2.0.rc1-backside-iho rom. In a seemingly random manner, incoming calls to the phone do not ring the phone and go directly to voicemail, annoying to no end when my wife is trying to call me. The phone at these times is sleeping, and if I wake the...

    Tablet w/Android 2.3 softkeyboard issue..

    I have a rooted tablet with Android 2.3 on it, and it seems to have become stuck on a "Japanese IME" keyboard. The only keyboard that comes up is one where there are 5 letters and 1 number on each key. It makes for close to impossible to actually *type* anything. I suspect its the "Japan IME"...
