[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goggysan:
So, the great WoH tells me that it is possible to use his ROM without the G-stuff, that is "Gapps" - and that everything should work just fine! And I am very grateful for this possibility! I only need to "skip the step with the gapps", he says.

Then, one proceeds with "3rd party app stores" like Amazon, GetJar, Fireplace and Yandex.Store. I presume there is an included browser in the ROM without the Gapps, so I start it and go to one of those sites, get their gadget and simply install from there, the free stuff... hopefully not having to log in with my Gmail account...

My problem, though, lies here in this thread - setting up PDroid. That's for seriously enhanced privacy/security! In the thread's "how to" there seem to be some discrepancies with the newer versions of PDroid... Really not sure how to do it, what exactly must be done, with which files... And I can't post in that section, to ask questions... Like "Where is the apk you mention in the top post?" and "What exactly are the steps?"

So, I must prepare by reading a lot, testing it and then redoing it, from scratch, i.e. flash the ROM again, as WoH described in his thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2131790

My hope would be that he includes the PDroid patch/apps - if at all possible - in the next edition of his awesome ROM!

Also, I would dearly love to see and test a ROM with all the best alternative apps, links to a few of the best 3rd party apps stores, tools etc. - but no G-c#@p (or almost no G-c#@p)... at least as much as humanly possible...

Here is a sketch:

3rd party apps stores,

keyboard and speech apps,

a couple of browsers (Firefox/Opera, maybe),

a few tools to manage the phone and set it up properly (Advanced Task Killer, Android Manager and alike),

best audio-visually capable Gtalk app and Skype for chat,

some non-demanding but good protection (Avast suite?),

Flipboard for news,

Adobe Reader, Kindle and Aldiko for reading,

MX and Meridian players for multimedia stuff,

Flash,

camera and videocam apps(?),

audio, video and photo editing SW,

Sopcast (TV channels) and "1Channel for Google" for audio-video streaming from the net,

...and so on,,, everybody continuing to fill it up according to their preferences, of course... all freeware/gratis!!!

Perhaps call it an "Alternative apps pack"???

So, maybe: when apps2sd card tool has been installed, we flash the "Alternative apps pack"... and it all goes to an SD card?

I think this might be a very cool idea, for many of us...:cool:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeroenmeloen:
Hello there,

I accidentally flashed a wrong boot.img with sp flash tool. I can still acces CWM based recovery. I do not have a ROM or boot.img backup and was unable to find either one online. The phone is an Alcatel one touch 916D, since Alcatel is open source, I downloaded the source code something.xz file (sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/OT_991D_20120718.tar.xz/download), it should be possible to flash this to my phone using Odin right? I tried so, but Odin does not detect my phone. So I was wondering, is it perhaps possible to extact/create a boot.img from the source code file I have? I unzipped it and there are the folders kernel, mediatek and webkit. I have not found a boot.img anywhere in the files. I hope someone is able to help me.

thank you,

Jeroen

PS: If someone has the boot.img or can extract it from his/her phone that'd be even better :)

What state is your device in? Is it powered on you said "power button does nothing" or are we talking black screen with no backlight? A broken recovery should not constitute the death of the device, I suppose it is possible but unlikely. Now a broken bootloader is entirely different.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ndmuni:
I just got a HTC Flyer GSM/WIFI 32gig from a buddy. Tho its a year old its condition is like new and i was amazed by the battery life, Its on stock Honeycomb Hboot 1.11.0011. Like the flyer but only problem is when I insert the sim card I could only use my data and sms but no voice call:(

So 1st thing as usual, when I get a new device, is to head over to XDA . After hours of search, same answer I got, downgrade to GB, S off then I can enable the phone function or alternatively, unlock bootloader root and install custom roms which had the function. As I like the stock HC and also because this is an obsolete device, developers are not so active. So this is what I did to get full function phone on the stock HC.

I unlock with HTCdev,( had problem with submitting token,copy and paste keep getting error (done at least 6 phones no problem) so I finally type in manually and got it unlock, rooted (mainly to get rid of bloatware too-saves battery)

Thanks to @clubtech, I use root explorer to copy 2 'buildprop files, one to external sd and other to internal storage (just incase i need to revert)

I then use my pc to edit the file in internal storage :

ro.ril.reject.cs.ss.enabled=0

ro.ril.reject.mo.ussd.enabled=1

ro.phone.function=1

For bluetooth headset:

ro.bt.profiles = 4270403

service.brcm.bt.ag.supported=1

I then copy the edited file and paste it in system and override the original buildprop file, Reboot.

Went to playstore to try a couple of daillers, one was ok but i could call but incoming the screen freezes and the next one says my device does not support telephony. I uninstalled them and use the stock phone and after a couple of more reboots viola it works. You can even use yr own ringtone:D Though this is an old device this might still help a couple of guys. Cheers
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] teorouge:
Thanks, since you're already tinkering may you try and apply these changes to this HC custom ROM (Coolexe's) and see if you can get working gsm calls via bt headset?

R: Full Phone Function Flyer on Honeycomb

I already tried and edited the build.prop as you suggested but Bluetooth headphones can't connect while Bluetooth audio works fine. So I'm back to Gingerbread, sadly no custom Honeycomb ROM offers working bt headphones and there are no devs still active on Honeycomb roms. You said you had stock rooted Honeycomb ROM and you enabled both gsm phone calls capability and Bluetooth headphones profile, can you confirm that?

I will get the phone back from my nephew this weekend then i will install this rom and test. I did not not test on BT only on the wired earpiece and also without earpiece mic and speaker all work well. Ex dialer is good and screen timeout toggle takes care of the 15sec sleep. Basically this flyer is a full function phone so will test the BT fully this weekend and let u know. Cheers

R: Full Phone Function Flyer on Honeycomb

Thanks, this is much appreciated. I'm impressed you get the 15-secs-screen-timeout bug even on a stock ROM, now I'm curious if you also tried installing MANY APPS (at least more than 100) and see if sd-card-installed apps actually stick after a reboot, and if you can actually hit a limit for installed apps (on HC I never got to have more than let's say 125, while on GB and ICS I never had this limit).

I mean, I thought these were custom Rom related issues, not stock! :)

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] teorouge:
R: Full Phone Function Flyer on Honeycomb

This is the fact: every HC ROM with activated phone functionality comes from an obscure Chinese ROM base (LeeDroid's first, so Coolexe's and the others which are based on LeeDroid) and suffer the same bugs, I just don't know if those bugs are present in a stock Rom with enabled phone. Thanks if you can help shed some light.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] copperdawgnc:
I got over the 15 second timeout using the intelliscreen app from market. It can use the accelerometer to detect the position and stay on. Also I have found a screen on app that will wake the device if the screen does blank.

Can you use Bluetooth calls on GB? which Rom? I see your sig says Max128Droid but BT did not work for me ..... reflashing to test ..... Reflashed GB BT does not work for me!

Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
BT voice calls work on GB roms; like Max'es. And it does not work on ANY HC Rom. Period. Next generation roms with Dexters OneXXL is yet last one where BT calls wark via BT for SOME bt headsets not all.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] teorouge:
And even that, not all the time. :cyclops:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] copperdawgnc:
I am continuing to search for a Rom or combination that allows full phone support. I discovered yesterday that ICS shooter rom worked with bluetooth for me, would appreciate if we could list the various roms that you have tried and what features worked/didn't work.

I have attached an XLS of my findings so far but am looking at modifying build.props and swapping APK's to see what happens.

I am late to the flyer (had an Evo but swapped to the flyer for the Sim) so do not have any history and many roms are unavailable.

I thought the Bluetooth problem was a kernel issue I am no doubting this as Roms with the same kernel behave differently.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Yeah, it is quicker to TEP the phone and get a new one the next day, but it's also much more expensive ($150 vs. $60). Which one is "better" really depends on your situation. If you have the money and can't wait for a repair (due to work, family, etc), the $150 deductible (and one-day turnaround) is a great option. If money is tight (as it is for a lot of us), the 10 days is much more palatable than the extra $90.

To each his own, I say.

Hi guys,

Recently the owner of a Nexus 4, on 4.2.2 and stock, non rooted rom. Everything has been going fine until this evening when my phone was asleep and suddenly it rebooted by itself and got stuck at the Nexus logo. I rebooted it manually and same again. Another reboot later and all was fine again, but funnily enough I received a text from "FREEMSG" with links to rubbish, quite clearly a scam.

I've never ever received anything from this number before nor have I signed up for anything recently and I think it's purely coincidence it happened when the Nexus randomly rebooted but just wondered what you guys thought? No chance of a virus or anything like that? I believe a few others have been experiencing random reboots? It's made me a little nervous as I'm always so careful with this kinda stuff.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prodigy:
I think its just random. Unless you've installed some virus, I suppose if you had a virus the message would be a notification, not a text message.
