Definitely update TWRP to the latest and try again following the instructions. I had no problems and the rom is running fantastic so I'm not sure why you can't get it working for your phone. Possibly a bad download?

I am having troubles installing the Liquid Illusion rom: INSTALL PROCESS

Boot into recovery: From Power off

-Volume UP & Home button & Power Button at the same time! Hold until little vibrate and Blue text in top left corner, now you can release.

-wipe data\factory reset, cache, system.

-Install ROM

-Install GAPPS (Google APPS) Latest 12-12-12

-Boot & let sit for 5 minutes (lets cache and scripts run)

-Sign in to Google and if Restoring I feel it's best to let it sit and install all those apps before messing with the phone.

-Enjoy, or how some say it "PROFIT"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Colton127:
How do you update TWRP? I originally installed it using GooManager. Can't find a update option anywhere.

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

GAPPS is the issue. I didn't download/install it because I'm so low on free space after a huge backup. Other ROMs don't give me this issue, I guess this one is just weird. I'll re-flash with Gapps in a minute. Thanks for your help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Death&co:
Follow the instructions WITH Gapps this time and enjoy bro :highfive:

Just a heads up, a lot of roms are different so it's not smart or safe to say " Other ROMs don't give me this issue" and expect it not to give you an issue. It's just good practice to follow OP instructions so you don't end up bricking your phone :D

As for TWRP. In Goo Manager hit menu button, then press "Install OpenRecoveryScript" and it should give you the latest recovery

Interesting. Looks like getting this working on AOSP ROMs is the holy grail for audio resolution and Android purists.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Death&co:
is it hard to get working?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] djmouse:
ive got a question i strayed away from the 4.2 roms becuase of audio, when recoding with the camera playback audio is so low,and audio in general was always low is this fixed now in the 4.2.2 rom,or is there a patch i missed somwhere messing with the multi view roms?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Death&co:
I think you should just test it yourself. make a nandroid and then flash this rom and try it. if it's not to your liking you should just flash back. don't be lazy man :silly:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] djmouse:
im runing it right now who said i wasn't, i wanted to know if theres a fix,or if i missed something somewhere nothing comes up in search. i flash more roms then you change your underwear i was just lookiing for an answer
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
Hey bro. I flashed this a cpl days ago coming from the GalaxyMod ROM. I know what u mean about the low audio, but playing Pandora/Google Music in my car and after I recorded a few videos, I haven't noticed a major difference in audio.

I'm also using DSP Manager and the 3.0.62 BMS Kernel.

While I'm here just want to thank the LiquidSmooth Team for this amazing work. Flawless, fast, smooth. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Colton127:
I re-installed with Gapps, works great now. Very smooth and awesome!

However, I have an issue. I can't download GooManager in Google Play. I also can't find the program installed on my phone. How do I get GooManager? Seems like a bug.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Death&co:
It's not a bug, Goo manager comes packaged in this rom. To get to it, click System Settings > About phone then Update center. Took me awhile to figure it out too :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] djmouse:
yea,my audio is fine in the car if i use my headphone out to my aux in the car,but ive never had luck with dsp manager or awesomebeats they never change anything, the only time i ever heard a difference using them was on serenity 1.2 rom,but anyway it must have to do something with the recording audio because when i use the camera and record dj sets its way low,i did however find a thread on here how to make a external mic work with samsung phone,i actually built and adapter so i can record my audio coming straight from my mixer into my phone using the 1080p camera,but when on this rom or any 4.2 when i record my kids playing then i play it back the audio is super low u think they would fix that before moving on to 4.2.2 idk, if anyone wants to beable to record aux audio into your phone while using the 1080p camera we have let me know its easy a few resistors and a old headphone jack with a mic built in a 4 ring one pm me ill tell u how to build it

hello...

as you may know you can download the free apps .xap file from windows phone site...(with PC...)

and then move to an SD card and install it on your phone...(the How-to from Microsoft HERE...)

i'm going to buy HTC 8x or Lumia 920...as you know they don't support SD card...these phones don't support any memory card...

so...my question is...

is there a way to install/sideload (using the method i've mentioned) a .xap file (from windows phone site) to 8X or 920???

and by the way...i don't have any microsoft developer account...so i can't sideload using SDK and these kind of things...

and the reason that i want this is that i live in Iran...i can't access the store with phone...but with PC i can easily access it...
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Som30ne:
Is there any WP8 device that has an SD card slot ?

(I think MS specifically banned DS card slots on WP7 and WP8)

Or do you mean a permanent SD card that is installed inside the phone and cannot be removed ?

(And can be seen as a "Removable drive" when connected to the PC)
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djtonka:
Those xap files from marketplace are different. I cant use an deployment tools but only copy into SD card and install thru the marketplace.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
There is SD card support in WP8, there was none in WP7 (aside from the fixed SD cards).

I fear installation from SD won't help you with your problem as even then the phone needs to check and validate the installation through the Marketplace (which is not available in your location).
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigwaveMx:
Actually, Samsung focus hace a microsd Port (first Windows Phone generation) and Lumia 820 and obevof the htc 8x hace support for the sale microsd card.

in need of some help

Hello!

I bought 3 zeki tablets for my kids for xmas. I was able to follow another thread to put google play on them, and 2 of the 3 work great.

One of the tablets keeps freezing though. I did a factory reset, but in doing so, google play update stayed. So I found this thread and tried to follow the directions above.

Now I can't even get the tablet to turn on. :/

I am assuming it is something I did, and I am hoping that someone can help.

Thank you in advance!!

Huawei Honor 2 U9508 1G

Hi

New to the board and I did something rash and bought a Huawei Honor 2 U9508 8G 1G ram direct from China. Its arrived and looks great and even the camera is a pleasant surprise :o)

I have some understanding of rooting having owned a HP Touchpad and a Ainol Fire/Flambe but I am no expert and can easily become lost in all the steps.

So my question is...

Can this phone be de-chinesed? I have managed to root it using a tool from BinAry (how cool is that tool!) now I would be happy just getting a UK Google Play installed until the community gets hacking.

Any help appreciated (Mod please move to a relevant thread if necessary)

Cheers

Steve
[Android General] apnoia:
root

better root this phone by using "root with restore by Bin4Try", if you are on stock 4.0 (it doesn't work with 4.1.2 on this device)

to get gapps including play store fully working just download latest ics version, unpack it and copy files using root explorer. or download

this and assuming you already rooted (and having hisuite or huawei usb drivers installed) connect the phone to pc and run install.bat, look at the display and allow su root privileges when asked

most of the chinese stuff are under /data/cust/delapp, just delete it
[Android General] sharries:
Cheers

Great thank you, I hope it is that simple and wont brick the phone. This is the response from Huawei

Would anyone else (perhaps mods) +1 this to boost my confidence in the attached files ....

Steve
[Android General] apnoia:
yes, they need to obey the law at least until they release this phone to international markets, however, technically they do support everything just fine, all languages and the rest, it's just disabled or removed, but you can update it to "to a oversea Android version" :) see attached screenshots

chances you brick the phone with root and putting gapps are very low, but the risk is still always there. however if you didn't alter the bootloader in most cases you can still restore this phone into a working state
[Android General] sharries:
Worked a treat thank you :victory:
[Android General] sharries:
Thank you so much for the fix.

How did you get the languages? Mine has US English and Chinese only and I need UK

I am planning on buying the 2G 32GB for $405 and I see yours is 4.1.2 Are there any issue rooting that phone?

Steve
[Android General] apnoia:
you probably can try morelocale2, but I prefer to do it natively, it works well for me on 4.1.2 emui beta and I suppose it will work on 4.0 as well

find this file /сust/channel/cn/xml/hw_defaults.xml look for white_languages string, delete those lines with Chinese and English only, and uncomment white_languages where all languages specified.

it should look like this

<string white_languages="zh_CN,en_GB,en_US,pt_PT,es_ES,fr_FR,de_DE,ru_RU,it_IT,zh_TW,zh_HK,es_US,pt_BR,ja_JP,sv_SE,nb_NO,da_DK,tr_TR,cs_CZ,sk_SK,hu_HU,pl_PL,el_GR,et_EE,lv_LV,lt_LT,sl_SI,fi_FI,mk_MK,bg_BG,hr_HR,ro_RO,ar_EG,sr_RS,vi_VN,in_ID,bs_BA,uk_UA,fa_IR,th_TH,ms_MY,nl_NL,ko_KR,en_AU"/>

the only drawback is that you need to make factory data reset (no need to clear sdcard though) in order to make the changes to take effect.

remember if you break the xml formatting it may break something in the phone settings, so you might need to restore the whole firmware
[Android General] sharries:
Thanks again, I added one further question to the above post, you must have read it before I edited it...

I am planning on buying the 2G 32GB for $405 and I see yours is 4.1.2 Are there any issue rooting that phone, or better still how do you root the 4.1.2 if you cant use bin4ry?

Steve
[Android General] apnoia:
Not sure about 32GB version, I've seen only 8GB ROM which can be extended with sdcard only, with 1GB or 2GB of RAM, which cost around $380 now or $30 more with express shipping.

As of root and 4.1.2 version, I've got that on some Chinese site, there's a dev there who making prerooted rom images for U9508 based on EMUI beta. But my phone came with stock 4.0.4 version installed by default. I've installed 4.1.2 myself and customized it a bit for my needs, including languages, gapps, etc.
[Android General] gerstavros:
apnoia, does greek (Ελληνικά) language work? Also, where did you find 4.1 rom?
[Android General] apnoia:
Yes, it does have Greek in the menu, but I can't tell for sure if everything is translated well. Huawei customized 4.1 and added it's own launcher, and called all this EMUI. It's still in early beta and not publicly available though. I will make a guide on how to update to 4.1.2 but a little bit later.

If you've got this phone and want to enable your language in stock rom, try with "white_languages" method I've posted above.
[Android General] gerstavros:
If you set greek and it's not in english, then it's ok! Nice, i 've not bought yet but i ''ll order by christmas probably for a friend
[Android General] Mark Chia:
My Experience with the U9508

I just bought this last week while I was in Beijing. The salesman sold that for 1900 RMB but after paying I found that it was a locked version and I had to pay additional 200 RMB for an export set. The normal China Mobile and other phone shops don't carry this model and can only be found in their geek pc/handphone commercial district. Even then the shops there don't carry physical stocks but must run upstairs to the export offices.

This phone has it's own Huawei Shop which is crap and the first thing is to root it with the Bin4Try method. Then comes the big problem when I tried sideloading the Google stuff. Everything installs but won't run. I found out that the root System/Apps folder is non-writable so all the stuff that I tried installing didn't make it there. In a separate thread I read about using the ES Root File Explorer and reset the file permission of that directory. Copy the needed files to the SD card first and then use ES to rewrite the folder permission and copy the files over. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hfam7mCOAAo)

Good to go! But only after much anguish since I did everything on my own without this guide. BTW, there's a very good app called APK Extractor from Play. This repacks installed apps on your old phone so you can email it off to your new phone to install when you don't have Play initially. I find that this is faster than loading from SD card.

It's not as smooth as my Nexus 7 but it's a really cheap and good quad-core phone. Yah the camera has a weird and unusual focal length. It's got a bright screen like Samsung too so that's a bonus.

apnoia I would really appreciate if you can put out your guide to 4.12 help.

gapps issue

Hi,

I've received my Huawei U9508 2G today \o/

I've got it from China, from an internet seller (merimobiles, to be precise). I didn't ask for it, but the first time I turned it on, it was already rooted. There was also a special installer for useful apps such as morelocale2, the google play store and google synchronization services.

I was very happy with it... until I've realized that some google apps just wont work. For example, Google+ tells me "Couldnt connect to server" when I open it, then I click OK and then it shows me the list of synchronized google accounts, I select mine and it goes again with "Couldnt connect to server" (I'm connected and can access other internet services...).

Mytracks asks to install "google play services" but when I do, I get an error: "incompatible with other application using the same shared user id". Google maps won't allow me to log in neither.

So I tried to reinstall the gapps using the method of the first post from apnoia, ... and nothing worked anymore, not even the play store... I figured this was because of the files rights. So after a busybox chown root:root *.apk, I have got the synchronization of gmail contacts, calendar and google drive working. But apart from that, I'm back to square one.

I also tried the script from apnoia with another image, namely gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip from goo.im but I think that's not better.

Now, there are some issues that I don't think I had seen before: right from the android's start, youtube, google talk and google partners services crash with no action from me.

Sometimes I have a notification: "permission required (for account xxx@gmail.com)" but if I try to open it, it doesn't do anything. I've found another guy facing the same issue with the smartphone (www[dot]swedroid[dot]se/forum/showthread.php?p=1194895 -- I don't speak swedish neither, thats why I didn't reply :p).

I'd really like to get the google apps working well. No one has got the issue here ?

Do you think that a factory reset would fix this ?

Thank you!
[Android General] apnoia:
n1m4i, yes try full factory reset, should help with your issue. otherwise reflash firmware, root and install gapps

btw, I think not a lot of people have this phone outside of china yet
[Android General] kimon60:
4.1.2

My U9580 2G will arrive in a few days from China.

I suppose i will also run into the same problems with the others users,as it concern

the Play store and Google apps.

I also would like to read the guide for the update to 4.1.2 multilingual rom.

Apnoia,can you please make the guide for us?
[Android General] n1m4i:
The factory reset did the trick! Thank you :)

At least google talk. I'll edit the post if there remains some issues yet.

Well, for those who want to try the factory reset like me... Be prepared to have to configure the phone while it's all in chinese :silly:

Just kidding, actually you can change the language to english pretty soon in the wizard.. but still, that's a bit confusing for the 2 first screens...
[Android General] Mark Chia:
Have you tried my approach to copying the Google files right into the systems/apps directory? That solved my problems.

---------- Post added at 05:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 AM ----------

The Beijing phone stall guy was surprised that a foreigner goes into China just to buy a China made phone. He definitely is not a phone geek.
[Android General] n1m4i:
Yes, that was kinda the apnoia's solution. Finally that's what did the trick but I assume there were some conflicts with the seller's softwares that prevented it from working before the factory reset.

Conclusion: if you've commanded your phone from merimobiles, don't waste your time, flash the gapps right away and factory reset the thing before installing apps on the phone...

I would like to get a full body screen protector since the back of my black lumia is really slippery and I am afraid to drop the phone.

I did this too many times with my HTC Titan but never since I got a protector on the back which gave it a nice grip.

Suggestions?

because i'm a newbie i can't insert gadgetshieldz link to you.maybe their product will help solve your problem
[Nokia Lumia 920] donnaw:
I had Ghost Armor full body put on mine at their kiosk in the mall. The back wraps all the way around from screen to screen. The screen protector is about a hairs width too narrow in my opinion but it's still very good. Can't even tell its on. No rubbery feel or orange peel. The end pieces are ok. The speaker end goes from screw to screw but is cut out for the speakers and USB plug. The SIM card end has a cutout for the headphone jack but stops at the sim tray.

The back does give a nice grippy feel without being rubbery. I had the clear put on my red 920 and really like it but they also have some carbon fiber colors. I actually considered the black or grey because it would have left just enough of the red case showing to look kind of like pinstripping. But decided I liked my red.

My only suggestion is to have them put it on. One, it's a wet install and if they screw it up they will fix it at no additional charge. They charge $15 here for the install.

Two, they have a heat device that aids with the shrinking to fit. Better chance of no bubbles. I used to put Zagg on all my devices. Ghost Armor is better I think.

I'm quite happy with mine, grippery, screen protector feels just the same as the glass to me, I don't have to worry about laying it down anywhere or throwing it into my purse or pocket with keys or anything.

Oh, and my charging stand works fine.

I think Skinomi cutting is better.

My friend has Skinomi on his NL920, however it covers the proximity sensor, which makes the screen off during call.
