[RE-FLEXxx] Q&A Thread

[civato]

In this thread you can post your experience, questions, and all other stuff that is not directly related to the RE-FLEXxx rom.

I do this to keep the dev thread clean.

Thank you for your understanding.

I will take a look into this thread from time to time but the main goal is so that users of the RE-FLEXxx rom can help out each other and that they can find help from each other in one place.

Regards, civ.

I installed 2.0 on my N5110 (coming from 1.9) and it is working well but the top of my tablet is non-responsive to touch. Happened on other releases but a reboot always fixed it. This time the problem remained, so I tried wiping cache, dalvik, fixing permissions, reboots, and all sorts of combinations. I did finally manage to fix the issue yesterday after one of those reboots but now the problem just reappeared and won't go away. Any suggestions?

Edit: Finally got it resolved with a full wipe of data, cache, and dalvik through cwm recovery. Then I flashed Civz reflexx Rom 2.1 and rebooted. The top of the screen still did not respond to touch, so I rebooted and now everything works perfectly. :thumbup:

no snote and extended menu all working for me. Maybe you had a bad download? Otherwise try wiping and installing fresh.

well, I finally installed twrp, and backed up my stock rom, so I am getting ready to flash the first custom rom on any tablet I have had!

one quick question; I am a very experienced rom flasher; I see in TWRP, there are several options under the wipe menu, and, I know to check the first 4 options before flashing this rom; then, there are 2 more options, wipe internal card, and wipe external card.
I know not to wipe my external card, since all my "stuff" is there...should I wipe the internal card before flashing, or is that not necessary when flashing this rom from a stock rom?

I apoligize if this belongs in the the TWRP thread, but I thought since others have probably gone through this, I wanted to post the question here as well. I guess I should post it in the TWRP thread as well...

thank you!

This is my opinion on it.....I usually only wipe the internal card if I am starting completely over with flashing a device. Wiping data/cache is usually all that is needed but if there are a lot of apps that get installed over time their folders get left and every so often I like to wipe it to get rid of all the "orphaned" folders. If you are going to just restore all those apps anyways then it won't make a difference either way. If you are going from the stock rom to a TW custom based on the stock it shouldn't be necessary to flash internal.

thanks man, that is what I thought, but, since I have never flashed a custom rom on to any tablet I have owned, I wasnt sure if there was other "stuff" on the internal card that might be needed no matter what; and, yes, since I will just be restoring all of my apps pretty much once I flash this custom rom, I might as well just leave the internal card alone...

I appriciate your fast reply!

Please take my advice with caution...I did not take your point into consideration because I have yet to do it on this particular tablet (only had the Note for 1 day). Never had a problem on any other tablets/devices but who knows. I wouldn't think there would be an issue. However, like you say probably no reason to wipe internal if you will just be restoring them back anyways.

no probs, it worked like a charm!!

thanks!

tun.ko or tap.ko?

I'm trying to get openvpn to work on REFLEX2.0 in tap mode. Looks like I need a tap.ko kernel module for either the stock kernel or the CivZ-StormBorn_Rev2.0-OC kernel. Anyone know where I might find such a thing?

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

I notice the CivZ-StormBorn_Rev2.0-OC kernel has no /proc/config.gz file. That means the kernel was not compiled with the CONFIG_IKCONFIG option. Is there a way to see what options are baked in to the kernel?

USB Mass Storage Unexpectedly Removed Loop

Hi,

Not sure if I am posting this in the right spot but I am getting a mass storage device unexpectedly removed loop message whenever I attached my USB flash drive? I am using the V2.1 ROM and kernel so wondering if anyone else is facing this same issue? Thanks!

thanks in advance.

i have better luck if i tap at the bottom of the softkey. it's almost as if the icon is bigger than the actual location that the press registers.

Chrome screen bug solution

Basically the problem is the notification bar, combined with the lack of on-screen softkeys. In order to fix it, you need the following:

Xposed Framework:
http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/Android/XposedInstallerDownloadUnsigned.apk

How it works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

App Settings manager:
http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/Android/Xposed/AppSettings_0.4.apk

I've been using this combination on my tablet for a while now. It lets me change the resolution for individual apps. For instance, I want the tablet mode of Gmail, but I want my tablet to run in phablet mode so that I get the top notification bar and no softkeys.

The Chrome fix is simple. The app settings for the Chrome executable should have the fullscreen option toggled, the DPI set to 160, and the screen resolution set to 800x1200. It then hides the notification bar on top while you're in the browser, and shifts the screen that quarter of an inch where it is offset due to the Chrome bug on tablets without softkeys. If you need to access the notification bar, simply swipe down on the screen from the top edge and it will pop up.

If the print size is too small, you can use the accessibility settings in Chrome to scale up the font size.

Hi,

Please ignore my last message as the issue was using the wrong kernel on my part. Thanks!

Question

I'm thinking of flashing a new ROM having used stock for month or so now. My concern is regarding the apps I have installed and am currently using, specifically FolderMount.

If I flash a new ROM (either civs older 4.1 build or his newer 4.2 one depending on how he is progressing), will I lose the links?

I have about 25GB worth of game obb and data transferred over from my internal memory to my micro SD. I dont fancy using up all my download allowance having to re- download and install all of those (plus the time it takes to transfer them all over). I dont mind losing the layout of my homescreens as I'm thinking of shaking that up anyway.

I've only one past experience of flashing a Rom and that ended up with me having to reinstall and set up all my apps (jump from ICS to JB on my Asus TF101)
