[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekr44:
Ok, so I pulled a boot.img off the phone as well as a system.tar. I used the boot.img on builder.cyanogenmod.com and have the following output files:

android_device_unknown_unknown.zip

inputrecovery.img

manifest.xml

recovery.img

The recovery image can be found here: http://builder.clockworkmod.com/redirect/5dbb87a058d1bb5fcd0bcbeca347c45b.img

I did see on the console output that it was building for CM10.1. Is this going to be an issue?

Thanks for helping an Android Noobie.

Yeah, that was one source I was reading. I saw his note about initramfs, though. I believe the Illusion uses it as opposed to the standard boot image format, so his guide doesn't work. Thanks for suggesting it, though!

*Scribble Racer S-pen review*

So the more and more i use the S-pen on my galaxy Note 2 the more im going to the regret swapping this phone for the Galaxy S4 when Samsung finally releases the phone for verizon wireless's network. But in the mean i've stumbled upon this very addictive game called scribble racer, and it's designed to utilize the S-pen effectively, hence it being small and precise. Use of the game the game is possible with your finger but you'll have a harder time advancing very using that method. Hope you guys enjoy

That game is fun i found it the next day i had my note2..its fun cause you get to use your spen thats like the only game i play except for draw something and words when the wife makes me play against her
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaemonAshra:
I confused as to why you would give up the note 2 for the S4. If you like the phone you have, keep it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SNNTEC:
Well as a content creator .... it is most beneficial to my channel growth... to have the latest devices.... im not sponsored nor rich so I cant get my hands on most of the lastest devices .. so I usually pick and choose which I want to get my hands on.... and the reason why I would trade the n2 for the gs4... is to cut the cost of the gs4 making it more affordable to obtain than the full retail price
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] itsDollar:
Good app to use with the S pen. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisjz:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksarius:
Hello people.

Before i get a comment Like ''google it", i want to clarify that i think this thread will be useful to many people here. Why? Cuz i strongly beleive that many many galaxy users wont be grtting the gs4. No need to state the reasons.

Therefore, i bet many people, including me, are noob with htc devices and i would appreciate any help since rooting on gs3 was fairly easy compared to htc.

I know that with s-on i cant install custom roms , but i can still root it right? If i want to install a sense based ROM, do i need s-off? Or its only for aokp, cynogemod, etc?

For recovery mode, do i need s-off, bootloader unlocked? Or both?

Bootloader: does the international version comes unlocked?

Last question: who had htc one x or other previous 2012 htc devices, which ROM was more stabled? Batterywise? Speed?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry if any stupid questions made. But im rly noob.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
With S-ON you CAN install custom ROMs AND root the device.

Only the UNRELEASED HTC DEV edition (only an US version has been announced so far) comes with an unlocked bootloader.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksarius:
You just made me confused then. Whats the purpose of s-off then?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
With S-Off you can flash the kernel through your phone alone(without relying on fastboot on PC). And you can downgrade hboot, basebands etc.

In short S-Off is a more deeper level of tweaking to a point that you could brick your device permanently. Bootloader unlocking is just... unlocks your bootloader. And the bootloader has the capability to mess with the kernel and system partition.

If you're using a Windows.

S-Off = Administrator privileges

Bootloader unlock = standard user

Locked bootloader = Guest user
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksarius:
Thx! That clears my doubts. Só with s-off i Can also flash custom ROM without PC?

Now I realize why ppl say sg3 is easier.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
You can flash a kernel/boot.img without fastboot or a pc even if you are s-on. There is an updater-script mod to accomplish this.

S-Off = security check off. Meaning you can flash radios/fw etc that are not signed with HTCs private key.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mih3y:
Do we get updates rafter we unlock bootloader? If not - will simply locking the bootloader help to get updates?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quattro_rs:
No you will not get ota updates if you unlock the bootloader.

But I don't know what will happen if you re-lock it!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksarius:
I will just try to buy the dev. Edition from US so I don't have to worry about unlocking lol.

My next step will be to learn how to root it and flash new ROMs
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
Sadly I won't be getting the dev edition since I'm not willing to pay $650 for a phone. Upgrading for $300 is a whole lot more appealing than paying $650. Hopefully someone will figure out how to unlock the bootloader for the AT&T locked version since obviously it won't be getting unlock through HTC Dev.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksarius:
Why not? I saw at the blog that people could unlock from their website?

Also for me 650 is cheap. Do you know how much is an iPhone 5 64gb in my country? 1200 us dollar Lil.

You are luck to get a phone for only 300
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
Yeah I know some people got it worse. :/ but also a iPhone here for 64gb is 800 I believe. Still a big price gap between 800 and 1200 though.

The reason it won't be unlockable is because AT&T in the past had always had locked bootloaders that weren't unlock able byHTC Dev. I think the One X got it after a few months but I'd prefer not to wait. But for 300 vs 650 I can wait a bit. As long as it doesn't take like a year.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BomB@s:
Hello.

I am using the built in Gmail application and have a problem and a request:

1) When I'm viewing an email in my PC in Gmail site, the app syncs fine and it shows the email as read. Although, when I'm reading an email with a 3rd party app called "Sparrow" which is running by IMAP on my PC then the Gmail app in my device doesn't get updated until a new message arrives, but the Gmail website does update immediately. Can I do something to make the app updated even if I read the email with Sparrow?

2) Is there anyway to mark email as read from the notification bar?

Thank you very much!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BomB@s:
Would appreciate some help :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
The Gmail app uses push so it syncs the phone app and account as soon as you do anything. Other apps using IMAP have to sync back to the server for the changes to become apparent. This is why I use the Gmail app for my Gmail and the stock app for POP3/IMAP email
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BomB@s:
But what's weird is that the Gmail website does sync with the IMAP app and the Gmail Android app doesn't - until a new message arrive, then it "refreshes" itself and mark the email I read as read.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Can't really offer a suggestions as the Gmail app does what I want it to! :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BomB@s:
I think it's all fixed, I've updated the IMAP app on my Mac.

Anyway, what about the "mark as read" when I read an email from the notification bar? Any tweak for that? :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
The new Gmail app has the option to Archive (which also marks it read) but don't know if that'll be of any use. It's fine for me as I can archive an email on my phone and Outlook 2013 still downloads it as a new email as it's the first time an email clients has downloaded it
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BomB@s:
So when you archive an email in your phone, Outlook just looks at it as a read email?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
No, it downloads it as a new email cause I use POP3 in Outlook not IMAP
[One (M7) General] katamari201:
Straight from an HTC exec, the company has been downgraded from a Tier 1 client by many suppliers, meaning they don't get first dibs on components, because of poor shipment forecasts. Not only can they not acquire enough camera modules, but the metal casing is apparently also to blame for delays. When you tout the 200 minutes of CNC machining required just to make the phone's body, and you also want it to be a mass market success and not some custom low yield and expensive luxury item, there will be ramifications if you don't have the necessary production resources all in order. HTC didn't seem to prioritize ease of manufacturing, which has been the downfall of many other tech products and companies in the past.

Late last year, the iPhone 5 also experienced heavy delays because the metal casing was chipping and they needed to tighten quality control, which undoubtedy cost them a good chunk of sales. But Apple is a strong brand and people are willing to and used to waiting for their products. HTC doesn't have this sort of clout. They are trying to prove themselves after hitting rock bottom, to stand back up from the fall, but these continuing reports of delays are the death knell to HTC's carion call. Furthermore, the iPhone only experienced minor chipping and cosmetic issues that could be quickly rectified as they had the whole manufacturing process with Foxconn under their domain. HTC's obstacles are far larger and the outlook far more tenuous. Many people may hate the plastic build of Samsung's phones, but it can be churned out en masse with efficiency, and once the consumer can get past the cheaper feel, the phone is functionally similar in durability to a metal phone and far superior in reception.

Even when the HTC One finally gets released at the end of the month, it will be very limited, almost considered vaporware in some countries. Whether they can even secure a reliable manufacturing line after the soft launch is uncertain. What is certain though, is that the Galaxy S IV will be coming out in full force very soon, and other competitors are also not resting on their laurels. Is this the end for HTC?

[One (M7) General] ragingredbull:
I would imagine that anyone that has seen the phone and likes it would be prepared to wait a bit for it, but HTC certainly shot themselves in the foot with these problems. I may be a bit biased, I love HTC devices(Desire, currently E3D) pre-ordered ONE, but I feel the ONE will be worth the wait. For me don't like iPhones(way too small), SGS4 do not like the design, like the design of the Blackberry but not the size or OS, Like the Xperia Z a lot just not the skin. Bit of a dilema if not for the ONE. Thank HTC for the ONE.

Hi, I've seen many posts about not being able to uninstall Avast anti-theft, although I've managed to uninstall it just like any other app. After I've seen these posts I was worried that maybe I've uninstalled it the wrong way and that it still remained on the device. How can I check that?

My other question is - Is it normal that when playing a game the battery reduces by about 10% per half an hour?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warbuff:
The reason many ppl don't know how to uninstall is because they fail to go into the security settings and disabling avast from device administrators list

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molesarecoming:
depends on your game. if i play need for speed on highest brightness and kernel pumped to performance i can suck your cellphone dry from 100% to 0% in mere minutes.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sincro:
Thought I'd would try to remove it myself. Following removal I changed the sim card to a different carrier and checked for any running services. I had no problems. I've now re-installed. Some issues seem to arise when the phone is factory reset before uninstalling Avast anti theft. I'm guessing that Titanium backup should also be able to remove it if required.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] ttrublu:
I have already tried that, but I am not able to identify the backup. I had used to TWRP to backup and then flash JellyMod. I had looked up on some threads that the backup will be in SD -> TWRP -> Backups (or something similar to this), but there is no such folder in my phone.

:crying:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] panda00:
Look for it using Root Explorer (download the app from the play store).
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] jaycm1130:
in your file manager browse to ext_sd. from within ext_sd you should have a folder labeled nandroid..

also, by default, the backups should be labeled/dated accordingly..

you could also get details on each file from within file manager that will give you more specific info. date created, etc..

hope this helps..
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] ttrublu:
Thanks guys, but I think I didn't make myself clear. The backup is present in the 2GB memory reserved for installing apps. How do I access that storage and remove the backup? I'm an android beginner, so pls have patience with me.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] jaycm1130:
in the "My Files" folder on your phone..

you will see All Files.. select it and youll see extSdCard and sdcard..

go to sdcard to navigate to your back up files after that move them to your memory card extsdcard..

voila.. free space..

So I've been using 4.2 since the preview builds of cm 10.1 and I only have one issue with all the roms I've tried (cm, aokp, son of android). It's that whenever I turn my phone on there's always this brightness flicker most of the time. I keep my brightness at lowest and then when I turn on my screen the brightness level flickers to max then lowest. It's honestly my only gripe with 4.2. Does anyone know of a fix or possible a rom that doesn't do this? Thanks!

I have also experienced the screen brightness getting high briefly after turning ON the phone. I am currently using KitKat CarbonRom and the brightness flicker time varies...sometimes it's a short brightness and goes back to the lowest brightness that I have set. Otherwise, it take maybe a quarter of second.
