He probably installed an app that changes some file on /system (like AdAway). Stock will reset itself and you will lose everything if you do that.

Thankyou for replying. I echanged the device for a new one but my daughters has done the same thing tonight. Will see if it happens again. Any advice on prevention or protecting the apps?

Don't let them install any apps that you have not checked out. And track all the ones they do install.

Are guys stock or did you install custom recovery? Because if so maybe they accidentally wiped data/factory reset in CWM?

I used to have this issue, with a different app - dropbox. Turned out to be a bad flash of ROM. Stopped having this issue once I reverted to stock and installed the ROM again. Issue came in with I loaded my current ROM over an existing non-stock ROM.
That's strange cause odin'd back to stock then applied new rom last week and everything was fine then.. What I would like to know is what causes it, I would hate to re apply rom... Ugh!

When the site is down, it keeps prompting for userid/pwd repeatedly. I think the issue here is that it logs out after a period inactivity.

Manually installing system apps

Hi there. After deleting the clock app from my note I have been sent the apk again to reinstall. However aftrr pushing file into system/app i cannot get it to install and it does not show up in app drawer. I have permissions set at RW R R but still nothing.
Am I doing something wrong? All help appreciated.

Bit more info on this. I am on LQ2 with Root and standard kernel.
Only thing i havent done that I can think of is to simply reload LQ2 and start again but this seems a bit much for the sake of an alarm clock. I have installed a basic clock from market but i much predfered the stock clock.

Haven't you got a backup which includes the clock? Always do backups with titanium backup before removing system apps.
In case you got titanium backup pm me your email address and I will send you my backup of the clock. I think this is the simplest way.

Yeah i realise now that i should have done a back up but i deleted the wrong app whilst i was cleaning up and didnt realise till later.

Did you reboot after pushing the apk and setting permissions? It has to be done for changes to take effect.
Yeah rebooted and cleared davlik cache as well.
I think the problem might be that there is still parts of the alarm or clock app left in the the registry or system/app folder but I cant find them. For time being i downloaded a copy of the Clock app from tge Nexus and it works fine.

Sending you titanium backup of clock, place it to titanium backup folder and restore it.

I did exactly the same. Sent it to him by email. No response yet whether it worked or not.
Hey guys thanks for reply. Not had a chance to try back up yet but should get time later tonight and will let you know.

Ok so tried to do a backup and titanium says its reinstalling app but just stays at that sort of buffering circle for as long as i care to leave the phone to run. In titanium the backup shows being available for backup with the smiley face etc. I can see titanium getting su access etc as well but just not reinstalling.
Might need to admit defeat lol.

Dr Ketan your totally right i just didnt want to. Now though i have spent that long messing about i would have been as well doing it to start with.

it would be relatively painless if you'll find/use non-wipe ROM

Backup Dungeon Hunter 3 progress without root for galaxy note N7000

Hi there, I searched everyway in this forum and I can't find a topic to back up the dungeoj hunter's progress without root. Anyone here knows how back them up before jelly bean launched?
Thanks in advanced!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I guess without root,you can only backup the app,not the game progress
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Yup, and if you play a dungeon hunter with a restored file you cant play online anymore. The server will tell you to update the game even tho you have the latest version.

Wow this means I have to level my character from level one again...
So if I root and install titanium backup will it fix the problem?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
with a file explorer you can go check contents of sdcard.
Copy the folder with game info to external, copy back, then when reinstalling pray that copying back the progress is viewable in game.
Never tried it, but theoretically it could work. Rooting would be safest bet.

SafeStrap question

If I do a factory reset in recovery while safe system is enabled, does that only reset the Rom on that side of the partition? Or does it reset the other side where I have 232 installed (safe system disabled) as well?
A little background: I was having issues on 232 with reboots after a month or so so I decided to give liquid a shot which seems ok so far.
Any help would be appreciated.

No, anything you do to the safe side only effects the safe side.

Thanks. So would it help at all to do a factory reset on the 232 side? Does that side serve as the base for the Rom?

I think the main thing that is used from the "non-safe" side on the "safe-side" is the kernel. I was having some problems with 232 and did a factory reset and it helped, but you will loose all of apps and data, even safestrap. You will have to install it again and flash a ROM to your "safe-side" again because it will delete the preinstall where your "safe system" is stored.

No prob. There are a few new CM10 and AOKP based Jelly Bean builds that are pretty stable and very fast if you're looking for some new ROMs. I running AOKP and loving it.

Question. If I nandroid on the safe side, factory reset on the 232 side. A) will I lose root B) if I won't lose root can I just factory reset, reinstall safestrap go to safe mode then restore the current nandroid?

A) No you won't loose root.
B) I'm pretty sure you can restore a current nandroid.
Just make sure you don't restore a "safe" backup to the "non safe" side, and if you are going to try out Jelly Bean on your safe side make sure to format "/system" along with wiping when coming from ICS.

Try rebooting into safestrap and clearing cache, clearing dalvik cache, and fix permissions. Then reboot. It will take a couple of minutes for it to reboot the first time you reboot.

No, the only time you should format /system is when you are flashing a new ROM on the "safe side", and NEVER on the "non safe" side.

And always remember to keep a good backup of the "non safe" side! I have had a couple of stupid moments when I accidentally formatted the system on the non safe side and having a good backup saved me a lot of trouble.

You could try FXZ back to .905 and reinstall the .232 leak. As long as your still on .232.

Alright. When I did the factory reset it removed all those apps like lets golf etc that are pre installed. Is that going to cause any issues fxz'ing back?
Also, do I just follow the steps like in this guide to FXZ back?

Application is not installed in your phone

Friends
This is my first post in captivate .
Yesterday i purchased a captivate from ebay. It is 2.3.5 , rooted and custom kernel installed.
When i install applications from sd card or market it works . But after a reboot the icons of new installed application is dim colour with a sd card picture. If i am try to open, it shows "application is not installed in your phone".
Any suggestions.
As i stated earlier i am new to captive.

Pretty much, agree. If you just bought this phone with a preexisting Rom installed on it, any number of things could be the matter. It sounds like the Rom isn't reading the external media card correctly.
Definitely try giving it a full wipe from recovery and toss on a fresh Rom.
