Hi all
This is my first post so please excuse my ignorance and point me in the right direction if I'm in the wrong area. I will try to be as clear as possible.
I have a stock N1 At&T unlocked....
I kept running out of memory (low mem warning) so I rooted my phone.
Using App2sd I moved as many as my apps to sd card ...problem solved.
In an attempt to perhaps gain quicker boots I froze a few apps including the stock launcher as I was using go launcher.. No issues or problems.
However... My problem came when I moved Go launcher to the sd card to gain space....
Now the phone wont boot , it just continually shows the animated "x" nexus logo.
My reasoning is, now the phone cant load the "frozen" stock launcher and cant find Go launcher for booting on the sd card , so It's stuck in a searching cycle.
Question.. Is there a non destructive way to recover from this? I have TiTanium Bkup free which I backed up 2 days ago.
If I do a "recovery" will it un root my phone and unfreeze my apps?
Can I unfreeze my stock launcher from boot mode?
I can seem to find any thread that comes close apart from doing a recovery
I thank you all in advance for your time and your patience in this matter..
I would love your help and advice.
Just flash your ROM again without doing a full wipe. Reinstall apps2sd. All your apps and data should be still there.

Thank you
Thank you cpm !!
Again excusing my ignorance....
When you mean "flash" do you mean to use the restore feature on power up?
My next step after this was to flash a CM9 ics rom for a N1 I see U are using one... are there any issues ? could you give me the link?
Again many thanks for you assistance.... much appreciated
I will let you know how it goes
If you want CM9 then look at BCM ROM in the Dev forum. You can download it there.
Only thing not working is video camera. You can take pics, but not video. Might be sorted over time. Otherwise a very stable ROM.
Note you'll also have to install Blackrose to repartition your phone.

I was just using the web browser and my phone rebooted itself. It has a history of bad behavior. I think the sd card slot is flakey and I'm using a swap partition, so when it flakes out it crashes. I'm also using sd-ext for apps. I'm using a new sd card, so I don't think it's the card itself. The old one did this, too.
After it rebooted all my 3rd party apps were gone. I forgot about apps2sd for a second and decided to do a nandroid restore thinking that might help. I recently wiped the phone and had a backup after I installed some favorite apps.
When it cam back up all my apps were there and it looked good, except now no root apps work, and I can't use su in the terminal! It's like my phone unrooted itself.
Has anyone else ever heard of this happening before after a crash? Do I have to go through the root process all over again? Eh, I should probably just ditch the phone. It's not reliable any more.

Any ideas about this? Should I just try to go through the rooting process again?
There are a few things you can check... Do you have a recovery menu still? If so, this is good! And we can go from there...Don't give up as of yet. I have bricked...like PERMA bricked my phone several times. I get my replacement and go again. haha.
Woosah! Woosah! ....but if you REALLY wanna get rid of it that bad, PM me and I'll make you an offer.
Ok so i've been looking around and trying to fix my nook that's stuck on the "n" boot loading screen and won't go pass that.. I recently used the autonook and just restarted the nook but it froze as soon as my first restart.. Now it won't even turn on it seems like. Anyway to fix this? I've read around but they're all a little confusing, i don't care if i go back to factory either.
I also did a factory reset but it seems like it still gets stuck on the "n" loading screen. I think that's what i did wrong as i probably messed up the loading files.
Do both resets. 8 failed boots ans power+n to boot.
If that doesnt work. download monster's rootpack and my restock to stock zip in dev and flash my restore to stock zip (or newer)..
Its all explained in dev forums.. take tike to read a bit..

I think i'm starting to get it.. One thing though i used a 2GB microSD and i burned CWM on it and i have 114 MB free, i used a 8GB microSD and i still get the same space left.. How would i go around this? I'm trying to flash a zip on after formatting through CWM.
Use the second link on Monster's thread. 1gb image. Then copy the zip file to the root of your SD. Then flash..

Cool, thanks! that helped and brought things back to normal.. I just rooted my NC now and it still has 1.0.1 and i have market and gmail but market won't download any apps.. Can't seem to figure out what's going on.
Edit: Nevermind it doesn't automatically download, i had to go in downloads for it to start. Thanks!! Guess it's not really like an android phone like i'm used to but i've figured it out!
I do have a question though. I'm not planning to flash any roms on this and keep it original, when i download apps from the market. where does it go and can i put it some place or is this only for people who flash?
Ahh i answered my own question. Once i restarted the device it was there under Extras. Thanks again!
Now it seems as if youtube app won't open or play videos on the website.

i have some problem with my Galaxy note and i need help !!!
i have a note running under ICS with Go launcher. the problem is that i the phone keep restarting by itself. it keep going back to the home lock screen like it was on the starting the phone. and the best it does it for God knows how many freaking time in itself. and sometimes it dismount my SD card byitself
Can anyone help me with this problem ?
does it ask for pin?
What exactly u did before it keeps on restarted?
Did u flash any new Rom or kernel?
Sent from N8000, from the corner of this rounded earth.
if u not worried about data or u have a good backup, the I would suggest a factory reset from recovery provided u on a safe kernel or GB
That will do....
Provided he just did flash a new Rom, or kernel.
But...
If only happen after installing the go launcher, I would advice try to clean the app data from setting.
If can't then go clear cache and dalvik.
If still can't then go and change launcher.

Un-install & re-install Go Luncher & see if it works..I am using Go launcher on my ICS & no issues after ICS upgrade..in GB, my phone used to re-start like crazy (10times in a row sometimes), but I wont blame Go Launcher for it though..
Hi all,
I had gone through some suggested threads, even though this question was asked previously, that didn't help me in finding solution..all i wanted to know is, can the application stored in phone's internal memory be removed.. apps like - Samsung apps, Talkback & Internet ?
and what's the best way to optimize internal memory.. ?

Yes it can be removed. You gotta have root though. After u rooted your phone, just download SystemApp Remover from playstore and install it. It's a paid app btw.
Try using link2sd.. it more simple..
but you must root n partition sd card before..

link2sd is a very good app,as it as the option to move an app to sd card even the ones that don't have that option in settings/applications/downloaded or all,but rom toolbox is the ultimate tool

Thanks for the reply
I had recently rooted my phone, followed these instructions @TheUnlocker and it was successful. before thinking of removing apps to save internal memory.. I thought of installing custom ROM to get rid of all that bloatware. Tried installing Clockwork Mod and got my phone bricked..!!!
surprisingly, the phone still works.. left with no alternative..so was the previous post.
Thank You,

Hey everybody, new to the forum.. glad to be here!
Here's the deal.. I have googled and searched xda as well as other forums and can not seem to find the answer I am looking for,,
Here's what happened...
I was running 2.3.6. Used CWM and root zip to root my phone. That all worked fine, but next, like a dummy, I went through and started deleting stock apps and accidentally deleted my Live Wallpapers and Wallpapers. So, I used an app (I feel bad for not being able to remember which one, but in the midst of panic I went into last night, it slipped my mind) to unroot it.
When I did this, the stock apps didn't return. I'm guessing because I didn't back them up. So, next I tried to install Flash2stock, thinking that would get me back to where I needed to be. Well, somehow in the menu, I thought it would be a good idea to wipe the rom and everything else.
So, now when I turn my phone on it will boot to "Samsung Galaxt Exhibit 4g" screen and then just boot loop.
In my googling yesterday, I found a page about using ODIN and how I could use it to flash back to stock with my phone. I tried and tried, but Odin will not recognize my phone. I have the correct drivers installed (as far as I can tell) but no luck..
So, I'm here to ask you root gurus about solutions. Are there other methods to restoring my stock rom and getting my phone working again?
or am I just missing something with the Odin stuff?
Please, please, please help! I thank you so much in advance. Not having a phone sucks!
Try uninstalling the drivers and re-installing the ones from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Exhibit_4G
PS: Have you put your phone into download mode before connecting it to your computer? Volume down and power should get you there.

Thank you for sending me that link. I did not know that I needed a different driver for download mode.. unfortunately both links provided in the wiki page do not work. I am going to google it again and see if I can find them somewhere else.. or if you know of another link that would rule.
And yes I did. I believe I did so correctly. Once the screen with the yellow "!" came up, I pressed the Vol up to get into download mode, then I plugged in my phone, then started Odin. Odin showed the message "Please connect Phone".
I'm running Windows 7 32-bit. And my computer thinks the other driver is called "mtp driver". This is draining, but I am determined to not let a phone beat me
I have done this before, since you have cwm on your phone, all you need to do is download the flash2stock zip to your external sd. Flash via cwm and wait for it to finish, then reboot and let your phone sit for roughly 10 mins. You should be good after that

Thanks again guys. I finally found the srivers I needed and got Odin ti recorgnize my phone.
The method with the sd card would have worked perfectly, but i do not have an sd card reader for my computer. Will definitely be investing in one soon!
When Odin set this guy back up, it install 2.3.5 bavk on here, which is fine because I plan to root and customize anyway.
Any suggestions for kernels/roms i should check out? I have done minimal looking at the ones for my drvice, but intend to.
My main concern is functionality. I need my camera and other apps to work. If they dont, then to me it defeats the purpose.
Also, I do remember the joy os rom that looks like an iphone-ish layout.. Has anybody made one that looks like a windows phone? Ive used the launchers in the past, but it would be cool if there was a rom out there.
Thanks again yall!

If you want a windows phone look you could get Cyanogenmod and install a windows phone theme. Then just get Launcher 8. The theme is pretty extensive and does the whole system. Then just get apps like metro messaging to replicate core apps. Also there is a Windows phone keyboard out there somewhere.
