Database Develop

[Q] Transferring swype application

Is there a way to manually transfer swype application together with the database, dictionaries, etc from one ROM to another?
I would like to upgrade to a JPY based ROM, but I don't want to lose swype installed in my current ROM. It has the languages I need as well as a proper RTL support.
I tried backing up swype with MyBackup Pro, then restoring it on JPY ROM. It didn't work, apparently.
Thanks!

No takers?
Does anybody know if it's even possible? Could save me a lot of time copying files and flashing back and forth if I knew ahead that it just can't be done.
Thanks!

I too would love to know.

Yes but you have to either replace the files in the Rom zip or move the files manually after flashing. You dont install swipe, you just use adb or file manager to move files to correct locations.

Yeah, I tried that, but it didn't work for me. Either I missed some of the necessary files, or there some compatibility/dependence issues. I'd like to know if it's the former or the latter...

EStrongs File manager issue?

I am having a weird issue with the Estrongs app. Before the conversion to EXT4/Overcome rom I could view all files. Since the conversion any folder I chose says empty?
Astro file manager shows me all the contents but I can not mount the drive like Estrongs.. any idea's?

What kernel did you flash? Go to settings to check if both your SD cards card mounted. If not it may be due to the kernel you flashed.. which screwed up the mounting of sdcards. If that's the case, you gotta do a full flash with repartition. Richardtrip's version 11 caused my sdcards to become unmountable 2 weeks ago. Hope this helps.

Most probably your internal SD card is wiped . Such things can happen . If so you need reflash a new rom with repartition, PIT, PDA

Ok so both cards read a storage size...
Like I stated in the Op, I can view all the files in astro, just not EStrongs. Is there another app that will allow me root access and be able to mount the.drive as rw to make changes??

Easy killer.. I posted here because everything worked fine with EStrongs while on Roto's v2. Switch to Richardtrips kernel and the Overcome rom and now I have no root access through EStrongs. I would venture to say that that is a development issue with either the kernel or ROM.....

Open your superuser app and delete or remove the estrongs entry where it allows that program for SU access and try it again.
And Not trying to be mean, however if it is something with that rom or kernel post in that thread or email the developers of estrongs

If u think that is the fault of the ROM.., Maybe You should post inside that topic. If everyone open a new post for asking Question , what will be here like?
Respect to the Developer, they spend their time without income and shared their success.
Overcome have no such issue at all as my experience.

Darky 9.5 Auto call recording bug?

Hi,
Everytime i make a call my phone records by default the conversation. I have looked and searched everywhere and i could not find any solution or the setting to disable this auto record feature.
Any idea? Iam running on Darky 9.5.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

There are some files missing from your SD card, which shoud be there.
To disable autorecording
add files
.norec_in
.norec_out
with no content to your sd-card.

Awesome it helped.
Thank you.

Hi,
How to add the above 2 files and from where I need to download these files...please help!!!!

create a new file (text file), rename it to .norec_in and .norec_out
for exemple : "no_name.txt" to ".norec_in"

hey, i'm having the same problem with Darky 9.5.
I created those files and added them to the root internal sd card but the calls are still automatically recorded... do these files need to be in a specific directory?
Thanks

Need to ask darky .
jje

My bad, my PC (windows 7 pro) automatically added the .txt file extension when I copied the files across via USB. As soon as I emailed them rather than copying them across it stopped recording straight away, without even rebooting

How to acces "system" folder on Droid 3?

If a connect it to the PC, i cannot see the system folder. (is there any trick I am not aware of?)
If i use a folder manager, i cannot put a ringtone in the system/media folder...its probably protected or so.
does it HAVE to be rooted or so?
thank you.

Root is required to make changes to /system
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium

If you wanna put a ringtone in /system/media use root explorer. That's the easiest way for you, if you're advanced and wanna get familiar with adb, adb push it

THANK YOU.
I assumed that
but is the ROOT safe at this time? i have red a lot of issues after ROOTing...

Uhh... root is kinda never safe? Haha. Idk what you mean by that
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk

getting root itself normally isnt a big issue.. normally people run in to more trouble when they have attempted flashes that go awry.

I used to flash my HTC Touch Pro 2 with a CUSTOM Rom almost every month... for more than 1 year..and no issues there...
but the number of topics with problems after booting the D3...made me think again when modding this phone...

With just a root, you should be ok. I feel that just rooting does very little, and as said before, the issues only arise when we try to take advantage of what root enables us to do...freezing, modding, flashing, etc.

i just want to put a custom ringtone (mp3 file) in the ringtones folders.
the ringtones from this phone..are really stupid.
any ideas which does not include root?

Well I use the MIUI music app and when it asks me to choose a ringtone I just chooose it through that

Use Ringdroid, it's free in market. Ringdroid allows you to crop and edit audio files, turn them in to ringtones and set them as default.

worked perfectly with ringdroid
if i unistall the application, the ringtone will remain?

use root explorer. Thats how i get to it.

nope. if i try to move with root explorer a file in system folder, it says i can not do that. probably because the phone is not rooted.

Exactly. Do not be afraid to root it, you can unroot it whenever you like.

Root explorer isn't nedded anymore. ES file explorer can browse as root, and it's free.

thanks for your reply
I went there, but it seems that in menu it wont give me a copy option, and even when i do get that option it says that i can't save it to SD card, what permissions do i need to set there, maybe this the problem? and is it permission per files of folder ?? how can i set the option to copy from root to SD ?
sorry for bunch of questions :laugh::fingers-crossed:

Just use the app Super Backup. Backup apps option will copy app apks to sd card.

I'm rather sure it was created in the same folder the aroma-app-package-creator.jnlp was in and it's a zip file, there is no exe.
Probably yes but there was not really a problem you just need all the apk files and it takes some time but the result is very good and usefull.

My mistake, i was talking about the .jnlp file.
Btw i put in this paclage creator only the apk files and did not add any app folder.
I'm gonna try it again later on today. The first few try out the program worked pretty fast but no zip to be seen LOL. Lets see what will happen later on.

Works flawlessly for me

:victory::victory::victory: YES, FINALLY. i made it :laugh::laugh: i think i know what was the problem. i didnt give enough time to create the .ZIP file. if would have waited for 20 secs longer on each earlier attempt, i would have had those files already. LMAO, i'm such a noob dang so stupid of me. well no i know to double check myself. hehe.
