[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opssemnik:
its *almost* same as Samsung phones, its a mode that allows *almost* full reflash of your phone, from partition table to bootloader,system etc.

in the n4 we use lgnpst instead of odin for Samsung phones. its not spyware or something like that, its from the backup bootloader(abootb), can be automatcly triggered if aboot fails to start, or if the user press a combination of buttons.

also if you get in that situation, you may find qpnst mode, its a even more emergencial mode(in this case, even abootb is failing to start, screen dosent turn on, and its recognized as QHUSB_DLOAD on pc), but at moment we can´t do much on this mode,we use qpnst (from QUALCOMM instead of lg) to re-program the full nand(the program pulls imei data, then the nand turns full writable, all blocks are writable, then the program re-programs it, sends new partition table, etc....). you may find more on the "How to unbrick your N4 using LGNPST" thread and the "Unbrick N4 using QPNST" thread.

thanks very much for the informative response!!! I wonder if it rebooted in the night and couldn't boot back up properly. It's stock by the way!! Thanks again though for taking the time.

probably some wakelock crashed, then system rebooted but battery couldn't handle it(low voltage) so it gone there? idk, if it happened one time, then its nothing to worry
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tilde88:
As the title implies, I need some info on the RadioShack preorders.

I've called 3 local RS near me, neither of them had any info on the HTC One. OFC tried to get me to preorder the Crapsung S4 (no hate, just play on words :-p). I told each store the same thing; preorders started on the 5th, I can call corporate now and preorder (which I can). The thing is, none of the stores "have been given any communications about the HTC One or its preorders". I do not want to order it via corporate for 2 reasons. #1 I want the $50 Google Play credit *which most of that i use to donate to developers like Chad.Goodman and other hard-working individuals. And reason #2, I want it on the 19th, I don't want to wait a day or 2 or 3 before I can get it. #2 might sound silly, but it is my money and my device, so please do not trash-talk me about being impatient.

Does anyone have any insight in receiving the $50 credit and/or preordering?

Thanks guys.

I have found the New Designed Play Store App.

http://db.tt/q0mYnfBT

INSTALL AS NORMAL APP

Exaple:

The facelift is unleashed todayWith word that Google has been internallytesting a new design for its Play Store app, we knew we'd soon see it surface – and the company has announced that it will be here today.The Play group product manager, Michael Silski, posed on the*Android blog*that the 4.0 update would be rolled out starting today.So what's new? A lot of focus on the visual side of things, with bigger pictures, and similarly themed content now grouped together. Checkout's been given a tweak, and you'll also get content recommendations as you scroll down the page, making life a bit easier.

Go Play

The update is available for any Android phone or tablet running Android 2.2 or better, and will bring it in line with the rest of its Android system."People around the world should see it over the next few weeks," Silski added, so we've no guarantee as to where it will hit first.But so far there's been no sign of the update here at TechRadar. We expect to see it appear in the coming hours/days/weeks and will update as and when we do.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaepernick:
Just wondering. My favorite so far is Nova Launcher Prime, but I switched to Go for some variety. Trebuchet, Nova, and Apex are almost identical in looks, so I wanted to try something a bit different. Go used to be annoying with the pop up notifications but I see that they have been toned down quite a bit. I wish Nova had some of the animations Go has. Would also like the option to use different background pics for the app drawer. Still, if Nova had all the stuff Go had and vice versa, there would be no point in trying different launchers, I guess. I do notice that Go seems to eat up a bit more ram, depending on the theme, but it doesn't seem to affect anything.

Also, Next Launcher 3D, there is a free 36 hour trial available. It's actually kind of cool. I've a feeling that these 3d launchers are going to be the norm in the future. I assumed it would suck on the Dinc but it works pretty well. In fact, it feels pretty smooth on CM10.1. Sometimes it may need to load the homescreen for a bit, but what do I expect on this device? It does need some work since some basic features seem to be missing, but that could be the issue with the trial version, I don't know. All I do know is that I'm not forking $16 over for a launcher. Don't know how these 3D launchers can be profitable at these prices, but whatever. Still, I kind of want to keep messing with it. That trial is way too short to actually be able to evaluate the thing.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
I used to use GO. Gave up on it as it got more and more bloat, and more and more ads. I vaguely recall reading somewhere they also data mine, but that was awhile ago. As for standard launchers, I like Nova Prime. Seems the most stable with the most features I want. Recently, though, I've been using Action Launcher Pro by Chris Lacy (the former dev of Tweet Lanes). It's pretty nice; minimalistic and has a unique way of doing things, that take some getting used to.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tydiamond11:
I used to use go by it got very slow on my phone for some reason I like nova it is the fastest by far I have prime. Also it has a thin were u can change the animations speed which is nice
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaepernick:
Same here. I used to use it a while back but the notification pop ups just got on my nerves, so I dropped it. Pretty sure they've fixed it up since then. I only seem to get those when I use the Go Market/Store (not the play store). The bloat seems to be optional since most of their widgets need to be downloaded from the Play Store. I just delete the shortcuts when I first install. As for data mining, well, I haven't heard that one. Hope that isn't the case since I really like the setup I have right now. Nova Prime is good. I just wanted to change things up and Go has more animation options. I do think it's cool that Nova can use the icons from the Go themes though. I read a bit on Action Launcher not long ago. It looks like it might be a good one. Not sure what the shutters are but it seems like people like them. Was looking for the free version and couldn't find it in the Play Store. Not going to fork over $4.00 unless I try it first.

Go does seem to use a bit more ram, depending on the theme, than Nova. It doesn't seem sluggish to me though. Used it on Tiny's/Neo's CM10.1 and Tiny's CM10.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Yeah, that's a minor point against it (and a gamble) is that there's no free version. I think he should include a free version, limited to only one or two shutters (or none), or something similar to make the app scaled down, much like Prime adds features to Nova. Internet is too slow for me to view the video, but this might have it.

Action Launcher Pro gets a beefy update

Basically, you put a shortcut to an app that has a widget that goes to it. On your home screen, you now have the shortcut with three lines on it. You then swipe on the shortcut, and a widget pops out of it. You can then interact with the widget, or hit Back to dismiss it and go back to you clean home screen. I posted screen shots, using Falcon Pro twitter client. The first is the clean home screen (notice Falcon Pro in the bottom left with the three lines). On the second shot, I've swiped on it, and there's its widget. Pretty snazzy, and helps maximize your space.

Again, this is a minimal launcher (so far) that focuses on being unique, not feature heavy, so if anyone does buy it, don't expect all the bells and whistles like fancy animations and such....yet. I don't know if Chris has plans to incorporate such features or not.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaepernick:
Thanks for the detailed info. That vid explains a great deal. It sounds like a pretty good launcher. Is it faster and does it consume less ram than Nova and Apex? Biggest reason I'm using Go Launcher right now is the fancy animations and the different look in the app drawer. I'd be using Next Launcher right now if I decided to fork over the cash (example. not forking over $16), just because I'm in the mood for the effects. If I were to take it down a notch though, Action Launcher sounds like one to definitely try. Could make the 10.1 experience even smoother. I really like that Shutter approach. He should really consider putting out a free version.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaepernick:
Hey, Pons, I found an app that can make widgets act like the Shutters in Action Launcher. It's pretty nice.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.popupWidget.ad

That's the free version. The paid version is pretty inexpensive. Thinking about getting it.

Do you guys think the branding on the s4 for verizon will be atrocious? Like it is on the note 2, (the homebutton). I really want to upgrade to the s4, but i love h.ow on the s3 there is no branding on the front. only branding is on the back, and i got rid of it by buying the international battery cover online

So, do you guys think the home button or front will be branded? Vote in the poll!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palingenesis:
I am curious if the nexus 4 will ever see the likes of MIUI or Sense roms or something? Is that is a possibility? I like variety. I came from a G2 so I am used to having several different kinds of roms like this. I know that phone is old and it took me awhile to upgrade. Lol. Just curious.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luiseteyo:
Miui is impossible right now. The latest miui rom is 4.1.2 based and our firmwares are 4.2 based :(

Until miui team doesnt update their rom (miui5) to android 4.2 we are out.

Sense porting is incredibly difficult, since has practically nothing to do with aosp, touchwiz, etc...

Enviado desde mi Nexus 4 usando Tapatalk 2
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molesarecoming:
That's barely variety. Almost all ROMs there are cm based and cooked, the rest is leaked, outdated or mashed up, the number of actual/original contemporary ROMs is either zero or very small. I've got an s2, too and I've been in that scene long enough. Nexus is like day and night compared to a legacy ROM scene. The number of ROMs may appear smaller, but that's still the source of pretty much all the features you were enjoying, exception being miui and OEM skins.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undercover:
What will happen eventually i guess, is that people will start theming roms to look like sense and other ui's.

My first Nexus and i do find rom scene a bit boring compared to OEMs. Although, I'm thoroughly enjoying stability of Nexus custom roms, and since my flashing addiction has gone downhill, I'm ok.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
That's the great thing about the nexus being a developers device. If you want it then by all mean make it. Sense will never make it to a none HTC device fully due to needing the HTC framework and lib files which can't be ported. Same with touchwiz. As for MIUI don't even get me started with that lol.

Instaead of Hi I say you are great people :-)

So the case is... I just need to have working Qtek 1010 with SOME additional soft on it inside a ROM...

I've read many pages in this forum and I'm able to find too many ways to change my ROM. I'm totaly confused.

I work for extremaly big worldwide company and they gave me q Qtek, told me to use it, gave me one simple application and web link... so I do.

But the Qtek is much powerfull than that so I need to flash my ROM.

Now comes a question: where can I find one document how to prepare for it, what tools do I need, how to do it... I know after some tries I will be confident enough to do such stuff easlily, my problem is I have only one try, they will make me w trouble if I screw my company recource.

I understand you had milion similar questions like that. Basicly I need help how to flash so I can be sure 100% not less that I can recover in case of trouble. I hope you understand I'm afraid to do it because lack of experience and you are able to tell me if I should try to flash...

or maybe it's better for me to ask my boss to by me a 512 MB SD and install all additional soft on it and stop worring about memory?

I'd appreciate any opinion... you are the best and I'm just new to this bussines...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
Get an sd card, backup existing rom to sd card, very easy to do by bootloader method. Enter bootloader by holding down power while inserting stylus in the reset hole on the bottom left of pda then press top right function key, then choose ce to sd. Once you have done this you can check if it has in fact backed up your rom by putting sd card in the pda, enter bootloader, it will then give the option to program the rom, just remove the card and push the reset with stylus again, the other method to check a working backup is to put the sd card in the pda, the pda will ask to format it, say no and remove it. Once you have a backup you can either use xdatools to copy it to your pc or keep it in a safe place, no more files must be written to this card otherwise it will be rendered useless, if you wish to reuse the card sometime it will need formatting. Once you have your backup, go to www.yorch.net, cook yourself a rom and download it in the exe format, this will do a normal install from your pc while connected to pda via activesync, if it messes up you always have your backup. Once you become more proficient at using xdatools you might wish to try out lots of different roms until you are happy with the result, you can go on to sd card flashing which is a much better way of programming rom and much less prone to error because it doesnt rely on a pc connection. I would advise you to leave the radio stack alone, if you can make and receive call ok leave it alone. Have a thorough look around the forum before proceeding. Its good fun to program your pda and you can make it a much better tool, but make sure you always have a way out if things go wrong.

Hi!

I read the above post, one of the clearest here, and I almost got the confidence to finally do this ROM update...

But:

1) Can't find the www.yorch.net website where I could "cook myself a rom and dowload it in a .exe format"

2)It's still not very clear to me what exactly cooking a ROM means: it concerns the OS (the version 1.53, 1.72 type of stuff), the extended ROM (the default programs u get starting after and hard reset like the SW for the camera etc) or both?

Thanks!!!

I'm in the same boat as you CChris. I've been diligently a daily searching through the numerous topics on this site looking for similar information. I haven't found it yet - or at least nothing not-to-super-technical. I do know that you get to the bootloader by pressing the power button, reset button, and down on the toggle at the same time rather than the Wallaby way of the power and reset buttons only. It also seems that there are issues regarding 'country' and that it requires software to get around this. I haven't found the software yet - the links that I've seen all point to "itsme's" website which is currently down.

You can read the thread here: http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=9053&highlight=

Hopefully, someone with a lot more knowledge than me can go over updating the XDA II as clearly as cruisin-thru did for the XDA I.
