Yeah it sounds like it isn't anything important. I was hoping it'd be more like a personal assistant type thing....but I'm sure that would've been marketed a lot more.....ill play around with it and let you know if i see something different. Thanks for the feedback.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RegnierD:
It's tied into the car app. Longpressing home in the car app was supposed to launch HTC Speak, their vehicular hands free service. It's been hacked out for roms with long press home for recent apps. AFAIK, it doesn't really do much.

Hello. Is it possible to flash a zip Rom using Odin? I need to flash a zip.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebarg:
yes, just take whats inside the zip and make it into a tar.md5 file and that way you can flash it through odin.

PD: it's better to make it .tar.md5 in a linux machine, don't know why doesn't seem to work on windows.

cheers
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zapcow:
a .tar.md5 is just a .zip renamed?

go to jaggys. rom thread following the tutorial unlock your bootloader and install the recovery after that install this zip via recovery. you can't install this zip via odin and you can't convert it to .tar. ....have a nice day sir any questions fell free to post here or ask Google

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

you can't blindly do a .tar file of extracted files coz Odin wouldn't recognize it like Meta inf is a script for cwm not Odin the rom is packed in such a way that cwm installs it not Odin

that references odin in the subject of the thread. I tried flashing it via cwm, but kept getting a black screen on boot after the s4 screen.

so I wanted to try odin. but it's a zip. Is there a process to convert to tar.gz? Do I just extract, then recompress to a tar.gz?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschalie:
Ahh, that's because in the \system\etc\terminfo\e\ directory there are two files with the respective names: Eterm and eterm. Linux file names are case-sensitive, Windows file names aren't,so Windows will overwrite one. If you then create a gz file, one of the files is missing.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyxee:
tar/tar.gz from zip file

have seen this question a lot.

to create the tar file, you normally have to be in a Unix environment and an app like File-Roller can do the job of compressinf the files you extracted from the original zip file.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VengaXDA:
Allright, the solution is simple. You don't even need a Linux machine!

First, check your ZIP file. Does it contain a folder only? And are there some files in that folder? Then you have to make a ZIP file, which only contains those files, otherwise Odin cannot flash it. If there are just some files (and folders?) in your ZIP file, you can just leave it as it is.

Then, you have to download this little tool (direct link) and the thread here . Extract it somewhere you like to have it.

Place your ZIP file in the main directory (the folder where Runme.bat is located) and rename it to yourfile.img, then run Runme.bat (as Admin, probably?)

Now you have a TAR file!

Have a nice day,

I'm trying to swap the ODIN download mode on a Galaxy s6 edge+ with a standard fastboot, I figure since the Meizu Pro 5 has both the Exynos 7420 and fastboot this should be possible? Any ideas?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strayhero92:
I can't answer this question properly since I don't have the knowledge to really answer but I've seen someone asked the same question, can't remember which forum, and the answer from the other guy is if you want samsung to have standard fastboot mode, you have to really know how download mode access, read and write each partition (boot, recovery, system etc), change the fastboot script to access the partitions the same way and change button mapping of the download mode, change it so it detects your fastboot mode instead of the download mode. But really dude, I'm not the expert here. I'm just another guy that reads theories and solutions from here and there. I wish you luck in your endeavor, my friend.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LilAnt530:
Thank you! So yes its going to be somewhere in the read & write permissions xD, so I need to look at the Meizu FS structure at least it's a starting point and not a difficult one lol. I was just hoping it'd be as easy as popping a fastboot image in the "modem" tab in ODIN, but then I realized how backwards that even was. Lol

the ZIP conundrum

This topic of 'zip' flashing is quite revealing of the support or lack of in this community here. I have come across so many posts of people being confused to what a basic ZIP file is.. and what is contained within.

I'm not sure if the community gets confused or the original poster gets trolled. I see over and over endless threads that are now ancient.. that could have been solved if people actually read the first post.

And it's amazing how many people trying to do semi-advanced 'smart phone' foolery, on a computer they don't even understand. Like.. zip files have been around 30 years. I'm a contrarian when it comes to the idea that millenials..or any young person is 'born into advanced knowledge' of the current systems humans use (yes that's a myth propagated). What I see is they simply are trying to adapt to it, in the quickest manner possible.. which makes sense..but it leaves alot of basics beyond their comprehension. To make matters worse.. the elders, who run these forums *supposedely* are not educating them due to another issue altogether (gatekeeping?) Or simply the wrong people are invovled in answering basic questions. Just an observation of reading posts from 2011-2018 in these forums.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EliteBeast:
1st download and unzipzip to tar conversion

2nd get your zip file and rename it to recovery.img, delete.zip the extension

3rd place that file inside the folder that was unzipped with Runme.bat

4th click to run Runme.bat and your file will be converted to recovery.tar.md5

There will already be a file in the folder named recovery.tar.md5 you can delete it or leave it there the new one that is created will overwrite the old one.

5th once converted rename (recovery) to whatever just leave .tar.md5 in the filename

Hi, like I say on title I had not any notification icon on notification bar.

I don't know what happen.

I am on stock 4.0.3 with siyah kernel and JKAY mod.

if I lower the blind then I see the notifications, but never on the notification bar at upper :(

I try fixing permissions and unnistall JKAY mod with no luck. Also I tried to reinstall it.

What can I do?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] socah:
This should be problem with settings, try wipe data of jkay mod or other apps that cab affect your bar. If no luck make backup with cwm, factory reset and if it works that means that problem is caused by just some app settings for sure. After this you can restore your backup ... and dig harder into problem :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Napalm Candy:
Yes. So I tried to wipe cache with no luck, so after a wipe data show again notifications.

I think only can I do is a backup with titanium, factory reset, and then restore one up at time to see what is the problematic app.

So yesterday I was 'playing' with cpu profiles and cooltool settings so I think can be cool tool but unnistall it dont solve the problem
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Napalm Candy:
I found the solution. JKAY mod had a button called Dont disturb, that do exactly this. I pressed it by error and some time after I hide this button.

So I write this for a future google searches.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Hendrickson:
Optimus 4x HD has glonass GPS!!!! Time for me to buy one as i was worried about it not having it. Gsmarena has it listed as jsut A-GPS and no glonass they should update their info and the rest fo the sites. At least the EU version is confirm having glonass support, proof is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxcBdFrjXn4&feature=player_embedded
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ch3:
aaaand... where is proof? O_o
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Hendrickson:
The video above or here: http://optimusforums.com/threads/optimus-4x-hd-gps-tests-confirmed-glonass-support.98/unread

If it reads 15 sats, its got glonass. Normal gps chipset wouldn't get 15...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ch3:
oh.. i see. 10x for info )
[LG Optimus 4X HD] axepted:
I asked LG Norway about Glonass, they hadn't got any confirmation directly from LG, but they did a test, and they found at least 2 Glonass sats, with ID 77 and 74, so I expect that to be cleared then, it's support Glonass :D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Hendrickson:
More proof here thttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8-yUV9lSkU&feature=player_embedded Is that still not enough proof for ch3 ?

It keeps up with the Galaxy Note just fine and that has GLONASS :cool:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] chip273:
I have the phone, and I have installed GPS test. Although it shows Sats with id 70 and up, I NEVER got a lock on those sats, even after Keeping the phone on for more than 10 minutes on an totally empty field, with almost no obstructions. It has glonass in theory, but for any practical purpose it only uses GPS.

According to the linked article the phone is one of the first to use the "SiRFstarV 5t" GNSS chip. That chip has support for GPS and Galileo, and can even do Galileo and Compass, the european and chinese navigation systems. It even has a supression system for active GPS Jammers, again according to that article. ( Sorry it's n German )

hxxp://nachrichten.finanztreff.de/news_news.htn?sektion=nachrichten&id=8495199

For anything practical; the GPS still needs at least 3 times as much time after starting a random App that uses Navigation (in comparison to my iPhone4). So when I want to look at the Bus & Train schedule I have to wait almost 15 seconds until it knows at which station I am. That is, AFTER downloading new AGPS data.

For anything I see it cannot do egnos, waas, msas or any other differential GPS / SBAS, but I might be wrong with the last part...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
Direct from the horse's mouth

I asked the question of LG Direct as I am seriously looking at this phone ...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] staniotsui2012:
Well,as the CS replied,even the GNSS chip equiped (SiRFstarV 5t) has the ability to catch both GPS and GLONASS

(PLUS,EU Galileo and Chinese Compass in future with S/W update),but seems that the system (NOT only those GPS-dependent app)

written by LG does not use those sats(tested with GPS Status and GPS update)

Its LG problem,not the apps......

Maybe we have to do something on it and push LG to deal with this orz
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
a little info on the questions of GLONASS support.

here is a dump of a config file from the o4x.

/etc/hmconfig.txt

# set to 1 to ignore NVM content and always use the default values
USE_NVM = 0

# default values:
DEFAULT_GPS_USAGE = 1
[B]DEFAULT_GLONASS_USAGE = 1[/B]
DEFAULT_SBAS_USAGE = 1
DEFAULT_QZSS_USAGE = 1
DEFAULT_WIFI_USAGE = 0
DEFAULT_MEMS_USAGE = 1

# default position (to initialize PDR if real location is not available at this time)
DEFAULT_LAT = 37.374552
DEFAULT_LONG = -121.914479
DEFAULT_ALT = 0

# Sensors orientation inside the device
# For meaning look at memsData.c
SENS_MATRIX = 2,1,-3,-1,2,-3,1,2,3,1,-2,-3,1,2,3

depending on nvram memory settings, which i do not know what is, this will be set on or off, depending on country i guess.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] jonathan75:
I can see the GLONASS sats but can't get a lock on them. I really would like to test it out. Hopefully someone figures out a trick or app to force it to lock onto only GLONASS or both.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mr. electronics:
Totally has GLONASS

Running JB 4.1.2 was able to connect to 14 sats / found 20...Best I've seen so far.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] alaslistas:
p880 accuracy

As you can see in the video your advantage of having Glonass is about 10 feet better than GPS only but the advantages of WAAS and Egnos is sub 1 meter accuracy which I cant get out of any telephone but can get by using a bt-339 hardware and Bluetooth GPS Provider software. The phone is capable but not configured. Buying this phone for sum accurate positioning as is is a waist of money. Even micello doesnt work on jellybean.

The Nexus is easily comparable to the iPhone, I choose to use both (iPhone 4s for personal, and a GNex for work), and I find myself using the Nexus more for music, and games than the iPhone.

Its possible that the new Nexus will not be released at the end of the year for a few reasons which have been outlined in a thread I made previously:
