Possibly silly question. How does the N10 UI / N7 tablet patch differ from dpi switch to 160 on N7 ?

I am asking from a visual standpoint, not technical....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wbrands:
This worked for me on 4.2.1. Flash the proper file (odexed/deodexed) tablet UI from your favorite recovery. The launcher is messed up but Nova Launcher free clears it up. See post number 912 in the following link.

While you're there, grab the appropriate stock UI file because the Nexus will not OTA update with the mod installed. Also, if you're running an earlier OS, there are files like these for 4.2 and 4.1.2 earlier in the topic.

Hashcodes rom works really well on my device but all fonts are a bit too small and upper taskbar is about half of screen wide. I've tried to change dpi with DPI Changing and similar apps from Google Play but my Kindle got bootloop.

Is there some other way to change dpi without any app ?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VicSticks:
[Q] After reading a few guides, I'm still a little confused (CWM & rom related q's)

Guys I apologize for the long, and n00b post, I have no experience with this whatsoever, and this is an expensive device, i want to make the process as safe as possible, so I would really appreciate if you can help me clear my confusion.

I own S3 GT-I9300, which I want to change it's rom to one of the stock roms of my country, device purchased in Australia, and I'm having some issues.

Now, I understand I need CWM to be able to back up my phone, and Odin to install, but here is what I'm confused about:

1. There is a pack by ChainFire which installs CWM and roots your device, this is nice, however I now learned that the CF pack contains a relatively old version of CWM, and if I want to install the latest one 6.0.1 if I understand correctly, then I need to install it by myself.

- what's the difference between the new CWM version and the one in CF's pack?

- The CF pack installs root to your device, do I need to do this myself if I install only the CWM recovery?

- Can I install an 'official' (i.e. not a mod) rom without rooting my device?

- Is rooting reversible?

- Is the latest version of CWM the one which supports touch?

2. I found many links, but I'm not sure which one is considered a safe ones here so I would appreciate trusted links to:

- CWM 6.0.1 (or later?) which supports touch for GT-I9300

- Odin - the version I need

And finally, if I understood correctly the way to do the procedure itself is (roughly):

-get Odin, CWM, and rom

-put device in recovery mod, open Odin -> PDA, flash CWM, reboot

-Back up device with CWM

-put device in download mod, open Odin -> PDA, flash ROM, reboot

Is that right?

Hello all, my wife's kindle fire will not charge. I have tried using AC and USB power, but no luck. I have an older version of FireFireFire, so it did not charge correctly when it was almost dead. Do you have nay suggestions? I tried plugging it into a USB port and leaving it there for about an hour, but it will not turn on. If it does, it only stays on for like 2 seconds. Please help!

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Astarlia:
Possibly some good news

So I have absolutely no experience whatsover with rooting anything, or any of that shennanigans, but I have just had the same problem, and here is what I did.

-Took it to an electronics shop. Apparently they often have loose connections, so tried to get that fixed up, they did that and it didn't work, so now they think it's the battery. This would have cost me $120 if it did work, which is more than i paid for the kindle second hand, but i didn't care bc I was going overseas in four days and I just wanted it to work.

-Called Amazon.If it's still within the warranty period then this is fine. They will just send you a new one, then you have 30 days to mail back the old one. If it's not under the warranty period, it will cost you $100 for the same deal. They replace it with a new model even if you have the old one which is nice, and they don't really look at them when they get them, so it shouldn't matter if it's been rooted/opened etc. The only thing is that you have to have actually registered the kindle with amazon at some point, which was a problem bc I bought mine already rooted. Also they only send to the US. Also a problem for me....

I realise that this may not have been the type of help you are looking for, but it's all I got.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abiezer:
I was thinking about removing the battery and charging it some other way but I'm not sure what to do right now. It sucks to have a paperweight :(
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Trying to force charge by inserting wire will only damage the primary cell because it then becomes the resister without normal constraints you may be able to charge it to 47% or so but the damage to the primary cell will require that the battery is replaced. Search google batteries are not that expensive somewhere in the 50$ range. As far as replacing them it`s just a matter of carefully removing the back cover disconnecting and unsticking the old one and installing the new.

I've searched a little bit, it seems that we can't modify cmparts.apk via apk manager.

We should compile it from sources to get it work.
[XPERIA X8 General] Mixa_Z:
and where you can get the source code?
[XPERIA X8 General] Ahmad.H:
We don't have SEMC Debrand Engine sources yet.

But I think as SDE is based on MiniCM7 sources, you can download MiniCM7 sources and then modify cmparts.apk (You should modify xmls in res/xml and remove the parts that you don't need) then build the MiniCM7 and use the builded cmparts.apk in SDE.

For example here is the cmparts.apk source:

https://github.com/MiniCM/android_packages_apps_CMParts

RohinZaraki can help you to do this, because his GingerZaraki is compiled from MiniCM7 sources.

Or you can kindly ask Achotjan to remove those parts.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
there is so many same or almost same threads...

From YUAKJUXW or other build to YAKJU or TO Takju is really easy!

You need to move important files from nexus to PC and then to download fastboot and then to unlock bootloader which will wipe all data and then download factory image and then extract from factory image package (.tar) the -img files and .bat file or all files to fastboot folder and plug Nexux to PC via USB and run flash-all.bat file!

on Linux you have to use the .sh file

on windows .bat or .cmd

there is not easier way to do that..

Questions:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 is the bootloader partition?

If so, why does it appear to not have any executable code?

Is dd being tricked in some way and NOT actually getting the content of partition 1?

If so, is there anyway to dd the actual content of partition 1?

Somewhat off topic but related questions:

Assuming the bootloader is signed where is the PKI public key/Digital Certificate/Digital Signature/hashing algorithm stored on the phone? How are they protected?

Is there a pre-bootloader that checks the Digital Signature of the bootloader partition? If so, where is the pre-bootloader located? How is it protected from tampering?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrolsbe:
Is the bootloader available via busybox dd from the phone?

I sure would like to examine/backup the content of the Motorola Atrix 4g delivered bootloader code. Is there any way of getting a copy of it from the phone using DD (or any other method from a rooted/NOT unlocked phone)?? I thought at least part of the bootloader was in partition 1 of the on board EMMC NAND flash /dev/block/mmcblk0p1?? It appears the bootloader code is either NOT in partition 1 or DD is NOT allowed to access the code. I am basically trying to understand what happens in the VERY first stages of the boot process after power on (in detail).

[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
I was authorized to send in my tab for work since there was a hardware problem (mis-aligned sd card slot) on a previous RMA. Since I'm on a custom rom / recovery, should I reflash a stock firmware or just leave it as is when returning? They obviously will know it's unlocked, but didn't know if it should look nice and proper when returning.

its a hardware defect. i doubt they will care if its locked or not. If you were sending it in for a software issue, then you might have a problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] powerwagon:
As title states...every Android I've had (and I've had a bunch), first thing I do is install Nova Launcher. I did that with my Note 2 immediately and kept it that way for a couple days without ever playing with touchwiz. However, a few days ago I figured I'd give TW a try and found that I actually prefer it to Nova! I was shocked, but pleased nonetheless. I find it (for the first time) every bit as smooth as Nova and I like the idea of Pagebuddy and the s pen utility icons that pop up in the notification tray. I have also found that the stock launcher seems to use less system resources than Nova...at least from what I can see by available ram.

Anyone else experience the above, or have I lost my mind?...haha

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fprice02:
I have to agree, the TW launcher and Note 2 software are spot on. I love CM/AOSP but the stock rom is going to give CM/AOSP a run for the money. Now, if CM/AOSP can integrate the S-Pen features (note, memo, calendar and gestures) then will definitely be moving over, but for now stock (with root) is staying put. Well done Samsung!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cab121:
Keeping in mind we are all sharing opinions and everyone is very velcome to voice there own. Mine is a torn one. Im very aware of the sweetness custom launchers and roms offer. My conflict is the TW launcher has so much proprietary and necessary fuction in direct relation to the phones core features I feel I woild be missing out on some potential with anything else loaded. I have been useing a modified TW launcher since day one and feel its the best experience. Considering all I have done is removed all bloat and added all the features everyone else has. Then wave around the middle finger to whomever is responsible for ATT borking it in the first place.

As its been mentioned before. If a CM or other shows up with all the TW apps and SPen compatible I would dive right in. Considering Samsung had a good lockdown on anything document related to the chipset I dont see that hapening anytime soon. The CM team has already stated they are not happy about samsungs lockdown and have suggested they might drop it all together to focus on other phones. :banghead:

Stock was great and all, but this is the first phone i actually ran a different launcher on it instead of stock. I was just way too annoyed about the icon size and the space between them. Got nova launcher to fix that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Err0xx:
Says the brainwashed "AOSP OR NOTHING IT PWNZ0RZ" Nazi. Seriously of you're gonna load CM and ultimately kill one of the 3 main selling points (spen) why the hell would you even consider the note 2? Seems like the Droid DNA, where running CM/AOSP wouldn't cost you a single feature, would be a MUCH better choice for you.

As for CM: drop the Note 2. I don't care as ill never use it. All CM does to the note 2 is remove features. Want a "stock" look? Get apex or Nova launcher. Looks like CM and still gives you full spen support.

The note 2 is *****ing fast. It has killer battery life. Those were two main selling points of flashing cm/aosp. What do you gain by flashing cm/aosp? You lose features and can almost exactly replicate the look via a launcher. Its simply not needed on the note 2.

Totally agree, bone stock here. Not even rooted. Haven't found a need to. The device is aces. Samsung nailed it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] quarlow:
The main reason I flashed a ROM was multi-view. Once the AT&T version gets the multi-view I will probably jump to a rooted stock ROM. The other thing I would miss on stock is the ability to choose the notification toggles.

I am running Nova just because I like a tighter icon layout. Right now I'm on 5x8 (including the dock). Samsung loves adding in little features, I wonder why choosing more layouts wasn't one of the things they added to such a large phone.

I loved AOKP on the S II. Sorely missed a stable build with decent battery life on the One X. But, the Note is a wholly different stock experience.

I chose the Note for the TouchWiz stuff and S-Pen. It really isn't that much bigger than the S III (my coworkers S III + case is bigger than my naked Note). I knew I wanted stuff like smart stay and smart alert. All the stuff I would lose on AOSP bases. Even multi view is coming to TouchWiz JB update to the S II. Samsung has this software down, really brought their A-Game. If I stretch I can only think of two things I would have wanted stock: more freedom in row/column in the launcher, and ability to select and order the notification toggles. Nothing like the laundry list I can come up with about Sense 4+.

Another Nazi that can't explain to me what AOSP adds to the stock Note 2 that can't be achieved with a simple launcher such as Nova or Apex.

Nazi is fitting. "Every skinned version of Android should be nuked and destroyed." Really? Like most people new to Android you are Preferring/supporting AOSP/CM because it's engrained on your brain that it's "the only way to do things" and not accepting that a STOCK *gasp* skin kicks ass. Yes you're new to android. Didn't know where to find CM news? You're basing your opinion off of what you've been told and not what you've experienced. You're the "I need AOSP/CM to be cool" type. Calling you a Nazi stemmed from your quote about Android OEM Skinners needing to spend time in jail. Nazi is a fitting label.
