The problem I'm having is lack of Low battery for testing due to this sweet roms battery life.

Im at 86% , My friend Joseph that does my beta testing is at 48% so hopefully we should have something available in a couple days lol

Hello to all,

I need help with upgrading rom. I have 1.03.00 and I would like upgrade to some new rom. Could I backup my old rom? Could I backup my Radio? Whats happend with extended rom after I upgrade rom? Which one rom is optimum for me PH10B - Czech Rep.?

Thank you much for help!!!

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] ppang01:
Backup your ROM and/or radio to SD via booting into bootloader. Advise would be sticking with your current radio stack and test out the new rom first. The new AT&T ROM for US appears to be very stable but the radio might not be for you.
[HTC One S] axbog:
I will try to keep this as concise as possible.

I have a Tmobile version of Htc One S, currently using it in Europe.

I am:

-network unlocked (using an Orange sim card)

- bootloader Unlocked

- #rooted

- TWRP recovery

-Supercid 1111111

-S-Off

-running CM10.1 nightly 20130312

-flashed europe radio 1.11 with Aroma installer.

However, I would like to install the latest RUU for Europe, thus I have some questions:

1. Will an European RUU work on my tmob ville, Radio wise and everything?

2. Will installing a RUU relock my bootloader?

3. Will installing a RUU upgrade my bootloader version?

4. Will installing a RUU unroot my device?

5. Will installing a RUU change it back to S-ON?

6. Will installing a RUU delete the recovery image?

* From my brief and noobish experience with this procedures, I'm guessing "Yes" to questions no. 2,3,4. Not so sure about 1,5,6.

Thank you!
[HTC One S] foeti:
1. Yes, but you have to change CID back to HTC__102 if you want get further OTA updates. Highly recommend! Of not you force a brick!

2. No, you have to do a this before running the RUU. otherwise you get an error message.

3. Yes, if it's a newer RUU...

4. yes

5. No

6. If you mean your Nandroid Backup, no

If you mean your custom recovery at all, yes

HTC One S (4) | RootBox 4.2.2 | S-OFF
[HTC One S] axbog:
I thought having 11111111 Cid, allows you to install any kind of RUU, regardless of region an carrier.

Ah, you're right. Thought about the OTA....

Somehow my wife deleted the green down-arrow from my home screen.*I look in the app drawer and its not there too.How can I get it back? Is there an apk I can get from some kind soul? Gotta get it back coz she's all bummed that she meseed the Note up.Thanks ahead of time.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doodle:
It's the "downloads" app in your appwindow. Just drag it to the home screen and you're done. It's not a very useful app though, so why bother. You cannot lose it because it is a system app, so unless you mess around in a rooted tablet it should be there...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShotSkydiver:
I just bought a Nexus 4 brand new from T-Mobile three days ago, I deliberately checked for any flaws the day I got it and it was perfect. Then, this morning, I noticed that to the right of the LG logo, lightly touching the back causes it to creak every time. I tried tightening the two screws at the bottom for the hell of it, but the creaking is still there. Anyone else experience this randomly?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lannister80:
Same here, except it's on the lower-left of the back of the phone where you press to make it "creak".

If you look carefully at the black plastic bezel on the side of the phone, you should see it move in and out very slightly. I think that's the "creak". More of a light "snap" sound on mine.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShotSkydiver:
Is it worth bring back to T-Mobile just to see what they would do? I mean, I literally just bought it...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesc760:
Its normal. My wife's iPhone 4s also creaks if you press it hard enough. If your nexus 4 works fine in other aspects, leave it alone. You may get a lemon on your next one. You will be chasing the holy grail when there is none.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippocat:
Sup internet,

right now i got XWLSN official rom with newest modem XXMS2 and philz kernel on my i9100.

Also i'm using a WDR4300 v1 which runs the newest DD-WRT software (r21153 ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/2013/).

My problem is that I can use the Wifi with the phone for a while, but after some time the internet access is lost without warning.

The wifi symbol is still there and it's even in the wifi and the router DHCP client list, yet it can't connect to the internet.

I only notice that it's gone once i try to refresh the weather widget or use any other app that needs internet connection. At that point the requests usually just time out.

All my other hardware doesn't have this problem (smart tv, 2x notebook).

I also had a previous firmware (XWLS8 with earlier modem without philz kernel) and a previous DD-WRT build and experienced the problem as well with that setup.

Usually it happens after a couple of hours, everytime in the morning as well of course.

Seems to me like it tries to put wifi into sleep mode, doesn't completely cut the connection, but damages it in some other way.

Did anybody else have this experience? Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Should i try to give the phone a static internal IP perhaps?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heldchen:
yeah. same problem, but with openWRT - for all stock 4.1 roms so far. sometimes after a few minute of deep sleep, sometimes after hours, but like yours mine is always stuck in the morning. it does not matter whether 2.4 or 5ghz is used.

as a "workaround", i completely turned off wifi as my mobile contract has unlimited data.

[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] bassie1995:
I shall be including this later today. Thanks for contributing! :)
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] xda_dentex:
You're welcome!

Also the other project seems valid. If you want, point to the original repository.

The main difference is that it stays on the standard sdcard only, by default.

I also found a really good site with cool libraries: http://www.androidviews.net/

I'm sure I will want to include some of them. ;)
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] bassie1995:
Yep, I'm including both. Also, AndroidViews is already mentioned at the bottom of the OP ;).

I'm running a community on G+ about Android libraries hosted on github. Tons of stuff in there:

[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] bassie1995:
Nice, will include the link in OP.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] MacDegger:
I was going to mention androidviews too; a very handy site. There's also a handy little app out on the Play store called Android UI Patterns (free), which is basically an app with quite a few libraries built in, so you can see what they look like in action on an actual device.

And I'm not sure if I should post this, or if it should have it's own thread (paid libraries or something), but I would argue that as there are quite a few professional developers here, a compilation of good, paid, non viral licensed libraries would be a good resource. On the other hand, XDA is all about the homebrew, open, sharing community.

Anyway, whatever the mod-gods decide, I was looking for a good, cheap, non-gpl3 licenced PDF framework for the company I work for. Many frameworks were RIDICULOUSLY expensive and many open source ones were SLOW or not functional enough. In the end I found a good alternative at androidpdf.mobi . It's fully functional, affordable and they have good support. I know this may sound like an add, but I spent some time researching this, we now use it in production and figure I might save someone some time.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] bassie1995:
I have seen and used Android UI Patterns, forgot to include it.

About the licensed libraries/technologies, maybe that's a good divide for this thread. Not between UI and functional libraries, but between paid and free? Don't think there are many paid libraries for daily use, though?

If you can link me to the PDF parsing library you used, I will be including that.

Also, everyone, updates are a little slow due to school work. Hardest exam that's yet to come is on Monday, will update it probably that afternoon (my time zone ;)).
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] MacDegger:
The pdf library is found at androidpdf.mobi.

You can d/l the sdk and use it for free; you pay to get rid of the watermark on each page (the fee is per application, though).

I have come across some paid UI widget libraries (coverflow type things etc). It took me a while to adapt existing OS code to achieve the same kind of effect, so sometimes, if it's the right price, it's more effective to buy these kinds of things...

Hi, I'm running LiquidSmooth 4.2.2 and this morning I was messing around using the navigation tools rather than hardware keys and after I disabled the navigation tools I could no longer pulldown notifications and my status bar no longer appears at the top of my screen. I have rebooted my phone, restarted my launcher, tried to disable then enable the status bar and pulldown bar but unfortunately nothing has worked. Has anyone else encountered this and know how to fix this? Thank you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
Once the system framework gets messed up like this, I've always had to re-install my ROM.

Just wipe cache & dalvik, nothing else.

All your data & apps & settings should remain the same after the re-flash.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Monkeymannnn:
Before you go wild re flashing stuff hold down your power button til the menu pops up and see if expanded desktop is active. That's your problem if I remember correctly how the newer navigation tools work.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Con: you can't check logs to see what happens when something goes wrong.

Pro:...

Nearly impossible to measure. Leave it disabled for a while and see if you notice a difference. Then post your findings here.

With logcat:

Without logcat:

It seems that logcat does effect performance!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Benchmarks are not very accurate. You could have gotten that difference simply from re running the benchmark regardless of whether or not log cat was enabled or disabled. Hence why I said up top its almost impossible to measure.

Anyway around this ? how can i unlock the bootloader?

This is making me reconsider the device and go get the HTC One
[Sony Xperia ZL] sirsmokey:
may i ask what you need to do with an unlocked bootloader?

Root recovery and rom flashing can still be achieved with a locked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Mr. Droid:
Just seems to be annoying flashing a ROM and then rooting again and etc
[Sony Xperia ZL] HackitZ:
well once cwm or twrp is fixed you can flash roms and not loose root or recovery.

as for why have an unlocked bootloader, well custom kernels.
[Sony Xperia ZL] coilbio:
I thought Sony was offering unlock bootloaders to everyone.

btw, have you tried the unofficial unlock tool?
[Sony Xperia ZL] fahad233:
Is this true?

I thought you could only load Sony-based Roms. Like Lite edition ROMs et all.

But what if I wanted to load CM10 onto my Bell ZL?

I definitely need to unlock the boot loader no?
[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
99% of the ROMs for the ZL or for that matter almost any phone are for ones with an unlocked boot loader. Can ROMs be made for locked boot loaders as well? Sure they can. But devs have enough bugs and performance enhancements to deal with as it is to worry about locked BLs.
[Sony Xperia ZL] HackitZ:
yes you need an unlocked bootloader to use official cm10, but in time you will see versions ported for locked bootloaders.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofakng:
To make a long story short, I'm trying Android for the first time after being a diehard Apple user... (I'm currently on the iPhone 5)

Anyways, I was looking at the following three phones:

Nexus 4

HTC One

Galaxy S4

I jumped the gun and ordered the Nexus 4 but then I realized that the 16 GB model I ordered didn't have any SD storage so I have to fit ALL my music and videos (video podcasts) into the small 16 GB space. I'm also losing LTE support but I can deal with that.

My Nexus 4 is coming tomorrow and I was told to refuse delivery to send it back and get a refund.

In the meantime I ordered the HTC One developer edition for the unlocked bootloader (seems important for rooting, flashing alternate ROMs), but now I read that alternate ROMs often lose hardware features like camera post-processing, image stabilization (?), etc.

Now I'm still undecided because I didn't realize that flashing custom ROMs would lose features like that...

I do really like the idea of stock Android (and the very latest updates) but the higher resolution, and more importantly bigger storage, of the HTC One is making me think I should go that route.

Can anybody give me any advice?

EDIT: I also forgot that the Nexus 4 has a much smaller screen size due to the LCD buttons taking up much of the screen realestate...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phxblue:
As far as your media goes do you use Google Play at all? You can at least have all of your music uploaded into the Google Play cloud and not worry about installing it on your phone. Just a thought.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anas553:
Yes you are in quite a pickle. The problem is that there are too many different android devices out there which shine in their own way but that can be a good thing. Anyway personally I'd go with the galaxy s4-brilliant specs and an sd card slot, I was going with the nexus 4 but I am a hardcore gamer so that was out of the picture. Also I'm not fond of htc's . The galaxy s4 will have brilliant and lots of developers for roms, kernels ect and I would advise you to get it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric-1987:
Don't listen to him the one or the nexus 4 will do you good just use cloud storage. And a custom ROM will remove those in screen buttons.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilsonium:
Being a fan of both iOS and Android platforms, both have compelling feature sets. That said, there are many exquisite handsets for Android lately. The Nexus 4 has been out for a while now and we should start seeing leaks for the Nexus 5. And my current personal favorite is the HTC One. My Nexus 4 tragically met it's demise on a tile floor at Subway earlier this week and rather than go from 4s to 5 or replace my Nexus 4 I'm going to give the HTC a try (only thing left to confirm is the level of NFC support... SE included or not for Google Wallet). I would see which handsets meets your needs then go for that one. Also FWIW, until Apple comes out with a bigger screen, not just taller, I'm not going to upgrade my iOS. The HTC device also seems a bit sturdier than the Nexus 4 with it's aluminum back. As for the samsung offerings... personally I don't like them. I had a Google Nexus and was completely unhappy with the AMOLED screen and cheap plastic chassis. Just my 2¢.

I've used plenty of sense phones, HTC makes great hardware but stock android > sense.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molesarecoming:
let me phrase it like this, its insanity to buy a non nexus device only weeks before the android 5 launch.

and as for your samsung phone,

its a closed legacy plattform. you either cope with a bag of issues or you write parts of the firmware from scratch, the camera module for instance. even at this point s3 roms are flawed. and do i need to remind you they had to wait months(!) for more or less stable jellybean roms? simply saying "rom" or "many developers" means jack my friend, thats not how it works.
