I'm still figuring out a way to buy it from the US. I have a friend in San Francisco who would want to help, but he's not going back to Jakarta in a few months.

Sent from my Nexus 4 pimped with ParanoidAndroid and Franco.kernel
[Nexus 4 General] K0WAWA:
lol how did you buy your nexus in the 1st place? it's easy:

1. download tunnel bear. this will allow you to access nexus hardwares in playstore.

2. get an US address via US shipper. i'm using comsgateway. registering is free.

3. update your google account. remove all non US related address, billing and shipping address.

4. order your stuff and have it shipped to your US address.

5. your US shipper will notify you and pay the shipping service to your indo address.

that's it.
[Nexus 4 General] elzafir:
For my Nexus 4, i had a friend order it for me with his account and credit card and then hand carry it to Indonesia.

Thanks for sharing. It's actually a pretty good idea.

But two questions:

1. How much would it cost to ship to Indonesia using a forwarder? I might try it if the cost is reasonable.

2. What about the credit card to pay for the orb? I'm under the impression that Google won't accept cards that don't have a US billing address. And PayPal is not possible.

[Nexus 4 General] K0WAWA:
i don't know how much it is to indo, but for comparison i shipped my nexus 4 to singapore for US$15. do note that you may have to pay tax depending on the declared item cost, comsgateway is automatically calculate it. yes, google do not accept non-US billing address card, that's why you have to change your billing address in your google account info to your virtual US address. they do not verify your actual billing address with your CC company. as far as i know, google accept all cards.
[Nexus 4 General] elzafir:
Nice tip! I'll try it to buy the orb. How long does it take to get to singapore?

And was the packaging by the forwarder sufficient for fragile items like the Nexus or the Orb?

Sent from my Nexus 4 pimped with ParanoidAndroid and Franco.kernel
[Nexus 4 General] K0WAWA:
depend on the service you take, you can take standard which iirc take approx 14 biz days or express (add $5?) for 7 biz days. try to look in internet for promo code before shipping, you may be able to upgrade your service to express for free. packaging wise, don't worry about it. even if you really concern, you can ask them to repack it for a fee. they will ask you too if they think it's better to repack.
[Nexus 4 General] wathefak:
just out of curiosity, what ROM do you guys use for your nexus?
[Nexus 4 General] elzafir:
Thanks man. I will definitely try this.

ParanoidAndroid 3.0 (Jelly Bean 4.2.2) build Feb24 with Franco.Kernel r90.

Previously I tried CyanogenMod, AOKP, PACman, and RootBox.

My beef with CM is that they release on a nightly basis. I have a flash addict. And flashing every night is just not productive. And they have a very arrogant community. And a very strict "Google Experience" believes (they won't do a mod that doesn't follows Google/Duarte "vision". For example, you'll never find an option to resize the navbar on CM).

And my beef with AOKP, is they release very rarely, like every two weeks. Although they have unofficial builds by the official developers, I just don't feel secure, since Roman's builds are focused on UI, while Steve's build on performance. I just can't decide which to flash. All in all, AOKP is a very good ROM with many features, including features that CM refuses to add.

RootBox has a very arrogant developer. It's a mix between CM, AOKP, and PA.

PAC is much like RootBox, also a mix between CM, AOKP, and PA. It's a new port for Nexus 4, so bugs are everywhere. And I mean, EVERY where. It is promising, though. But like every hybrid ROMs, development is entirely dependent on their basis ROMs.

ParanoidAndroid releases every few days. So it's perfect for my addiction. :D. And it focus on improving Android UI experience through PIE control and customizable per-app nav bar/statusbar colors. I think PA is the most mature of all ROMs because they only officially support Nexus devices, while CM/AOKP has many officially supported devices, which make stable releases a rarity.

I haven't tried other ROMs like MinCo (Minooch & Franco), ChainFireX, etc. But I plan to as soon as I'm bored with PA.

Sent from my Nexus 4 pimped with ParanoidAndroid and Franco.kernel
[Nexus 4 General] wathefak:
I haven't tried PA 3.0 yet, basically I want to find a stable performance/battery for daily usage and I've tried CodeFireX and I feel it has some glitches here and there, so I go back to stock. Currently stalked Sabermod thread and AOKP unofficial build here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2146885 as they've already released for 4.2.2 http://aokp.co/release-jb-mr1-build-4/. And see where things go :good:
[Nexus 4 General] elzafir:
Well, PA was one of the first, if not the first, who merged the 4.2.2 codes. I've been on PA for the last 7 days and haven't found a glitch with the ROM. My last 3 test managed to squeeze 3h30 SoT out of my phone on 3G with Indosat ****ty signal.

For AOKP, I'll wait until they release build 4 before switching. EDIT: I'll be damned. They released build 4.

One I haven't had the chance to try is CodeFireX. What do you think CFX's advantages vs other more established ROM such as CM/AOKP/PA?

Sent from my Nexus 4 pimped with ParanoidAndroid and Franco.kernel
[Nexus 4 General] wathefak:
Well, as far as I notice, I've got 21K+ with CFX and trinity kernel in antutu (i know that benchmarking is absurd) but I can argue that this rom is fast. However, somehow it has its problem with GPS locking and navbar interface, the battery consumption also not that great, perhaps I didn't flash it correctly. Overall, I really liked how it fully utilised my device's hardware :good:
[Nexus 4 General] elzafir:
I never did any benchmark. For me, as I rarely play games, battery life is the most important aspect of any improvements. In your experience, which ROM offer the best battery life?

Sent from my Nexus 4 pimped with ParanoidAndroid and Franco.kernel
[Nexus 4 General] Contivity:
I like PA direction but I like how CM is more stable and less bugs. I've tried both but always find that I return to cm for those small stuffs that makes it feel more polished.

Also I like how CM has official changelog and jira. I've had a few improvements submitted to jira that they pick up and implemented.

True though sometimes I feel they fell like elitist.

I have two nandroid and go back from one to another. But mostly I stay on the cm side. One thing I like about pa is the tablet mode where nav and status bar all at the bottom. I don't really care for pie though.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] elzafir:
What is jira?

I like CM, but I feel AOKP has more features that suits me (4-column Quick Settings, ability to change navbar height, etc.). And I don't care for Apollo, File Manager, and Superuser, since I use PowerAmp, Solid Explorer, and SuperSU.

Haha I agree, PIE is near useless. That extra 72 pixels is nice, but we lose the ability to have a quick glance for time, battery, and notifications. Although, PIE is great to show what a Nexus can do (when I hear people asking "What the Nexus can do that other phones can't", I just switch to Extended Desktop and whip out my PIE).

Sent from my Nexus 4 pimped with ParanoidAndroid and Franco.kernel
[Nexus 4 General] Contivity:
Jira is the CM bug tracking system but you could also request improvement or new feature. Several times I have to go back to their thread and post it to bring awareness so people can also vote (act more like Facebook like button).

Few of my ideas that they take is the adjustment for auto brightness, fixing call statistic so that current format will be recognized and a few more stuffs I can't remember. Mostly improvement.

Recently I requested when searching from the phone app to include company name. It has caught done developer's eye and being worked on.

For root they may move to the new su by koush.

[Nexus 4 General] farhanito:
Not necessarily. On some ROM, like CarbonRom, we have more options for expanded desktop. I don't know about PA tho...

[HTC One X] Klayhamn:
Hello all,

I'm new here so I hope I posted this in the right place and that this wasn't asked and answered before (I looked and didn't find)

This week I bought a new HTC ONE X from a local store, and I now noticed it does NOT have a "Software updates" option in Settings > About

(from what I saw, this option should have appeared above the "Tell HTC and error reporting" option... )...

If it helps --- from the Settings > About I know that:

My android version is: 4.0.4

My sense version is: 4.1

My software number is: 2.17.401.2

My kernerl is: 2.63.9.4-g090b42e root@ABM041 #1 SMP FREEMPT

My build number is: 2.17.401.2 CL89015 release-keys

I also installed CID GETTER and it says my CID is: HTC_621

When I explored some more I also saw I have:

ro.aa.mainsku: 401

ro.aa.maincid: HTC_001

ro.build.sense.version: 4.0

ro.cid: HTC_621

I don't really understand much about those things so I don't know which other bits of info might be relevant....

PLEASE - I would really appreciate if someone could help me understand why I don't have the "Software updates" option, and how can I update the device to the latest android etc.?

Thanks in advance :o
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Re: [Q] Missing "software updates" option in settings&gt;about

I bet you are running a custom rom and with that you can't update ! You need to get back to stock

Hold the power button and the volume - button togheter for a lifetime and wait as ling as it takes for the phone to boot into the bootloader.

I bet you find this

Bootloader : unlocked
[HTC One X] Klayhamn:
Thanks

Hi Mr Hofs,

Thanks for replying so quickly ----

Yes, you are right, I went into the bootloader thing and it says UNLOCKED

and then:

ENDAVOURU PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-0.95.0000

CPLD-NONE

MICROP-None

Radio-NONE

eMMC-bootmode: disabled

CPU-bootmode: disabled

HW Secure boot: enabled

What does it mean? How can I verify that this is indeed a custom rom?

Needless to say, I'm not the one who unlocked it so.....

Should I complain to the store I bought it from?

Does it mean my warranty is void??

And how can I restore it to "stock"?

Thanks! :confused:
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Re: [Q] Missing "software updates" option in settings&gt;about

Hell yeah its a second hand phone !!! As they sold it to you as new.....its not !!!
[HTC One X] Klayhamn:
I don't think it's second hand ---

The phone looked brand new, came into the original HTC Box, and had the protective htc cover they come with...

I also asked and confirmed with them that the phone is new and not refurbished...

I think they probably just replaced the rom (I know that some Israeli importers/stores do that, usually to enable hebrew on older phones etc.)

:(

Is there a simple way to restore it to stock rom without the help of the store?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Re: [Q] Missing "software updates" option in settings&gt;about

Are u kidding me :p wow !

Well we might restore it to stock. You need to know about fastboot commands and you need the fastboot files on the pc

Nee is a tut on fastboot commands

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1605720

Basically it comes to this, you need to put the phone in the bootloader and see a res text "fastboot usb" then you have to open a commandprompt inside the folder on the pc where your fastboot files are. There you type

Fastboot devices

If the serial pops up you are good to go
[HTC One X] Klayhamn:
thanks

Thanks -

but I'm still not sure I understand..

what do you mean by "serial"? serial of the device? what do I do with the serial?

(sorry for being so clueless about this...)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Re: [Q] Missing "software updates" option in settings&gt;about

If the command shows you a serial number you are good to go to flash recoverys and boot.img files

So do you get a serial ?
[HTC One X] Klayhamn:
yes, sorry, it took me a while to understand what to do :)

This is what I have:

D:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot devices
HT25WW104268 fastboot
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Re: [Q] Missing "software updates" option in settings&gt;about

Now you type there

Fastboot oem readcid

and

Fastboot getvar version-main

The outcome of those 2 commands are important, those are the "real" info we need :thumbup:
[HTC One X] Klayhamn:
ok I have:

(bootloader) DEBUG: cid: HTC__621
OKAY [ 0.083s]
finished. total time: 0.084s

version-main: 1.29.709.12
finished. total time: 0.045s
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Re: [Q] Missing "software updates" option in settings&gt;about

Okey you can do this :

1: download this RUU

http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_1.1204.104.14_release_259284_signed.exe

2: charge the battery to 100%

3: put the phone in the fastboot usb mode

4: type this command in the commandprompt

Fastboot oem lock

It will relock the bootloader to be able to install the ruu

5: keep the phone in the fastboot usb mode after locking the bootloader

6: right click on the ruu.exe and execute with admin rights

This will flash the phone back to 100% stock, when the ruu flashed successfully you boot the phone and go into

Settings - about - softwareupdates and update the phone with all the updates you can get. That should het you to JB !
[HTC One X] Klayhamn:
Ok, thanks for the detailed explanation :good: -- I just have a few more questions:

1. Is there a way to be sure this is the right file? Could it be that my version is wrong or something? or is it unmodifiable?

2. The file seems to match version: 1.29.709.7 and i have 1.29.709.12.... is this okay..? I read somewhere you should not use lower numbers, only higher or identical...

3. Would this wipe the data of the phone (photos , installed programs, etc.) -- or just replace the underlying operating-system?

I am charging my battery now.... :eek:
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Re: [Q] Missing "software updates" option in settings&gt;about

1 yes its the right file .... 1.29.709 has to match (if it fails i have more options ;))

2 see number 1

3 it wipes EVERYTHING ....... So make a backup of the sdcard as well just to be sure (i hear different things about the sdcard so lets be safe and back it up)

if your main version was 2.17.709 you could not use a 1.29.709 ruu then you need at least a 2.17.709 ruu or higher. We cant downgrade but we can use the same base number or a higher one. Because we have s-on devices. If we had s-off we would be able to flash anything we like.....

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bring Back SNote:
Easy fix to keep the S pen in place.

I upgraded from the note 5 to note 8. Love them both but I've lost or broken several pens for both phones. Last time I replaced the S pen I added a drop of super glue to the back of the S pen- just enough to make a small bump on the back of the pen- and let it cure for the night. It's been several months now and even after several drops it hasn't fallen out. Stays nice and snug. If you apply too much glue, just lightly sand or shave the cured glue until the pen fits like you want it. Be careful not to apply too close to the button on the pen- back of pen is best- or the button may stick. And unless you want it to be a permanent part of the phone.... make sure the glue is FULLY cured before it is reinserted!?
