Exactly I was arguing this with rquinn19 a lot earlier on page 3... I think the typical thief who steals a cellphone doesn't steal for money, they steal it for personal use until they can't figure out how to fully clean their tracks, then they prolly sell it to someone who knows what they're doing... A tale tell heart. It sits and eats away at them then try to get rid of outta paranoia - outta sight outta mind! LoL

Now if I can figure out this lock timeout, my gf's note was stolen a lil over a week ago... I got the gps coordinates of where it's at now if I can just locked down the lockscreen to where it wont let them even attempt to unlock it, as soon as they power the screen on it turns back off again and then also lock the unlockscreen out of use for say 259200 seconds equals 3 days... LMAO

Already set the a lockscreen pin to it and a popup message trap message that says ""TouchWiz has stopped responding" then when they click ok android lost will capture a front facing camera picture.

THEN android lost's sh177y server stopped responding and started say "503 Over Quota This application is temporarily over its serving quota. Please try again later." WTF I really am thinking about requesting a refund now since I paid for "premium" service, this is really excellent service lemme tell ya!!! Luckily I got the passcode lockscreen set.

Get Cerberus, it's dirt cheap and you can do so much more with it than any other tracking application, in fact they brag about it because nothing else comes close. Best $2 I ever spent.

I got both on my note 2, nothing wrong with double protection, then on top of that i got what i love kaspersky mobile security as well, which not only was the only antivirus which actually picked up a dangerous apk that i put there on purpose but also has an antivtheft, web protection, privacy protector, call/sms filter too. IMO It's one of the most fulfilling and feature rich av, I paid $7.99 for 1 year premium service instead of $14.99, I let it expire then they gave me a special deal. LoL. Score!

A little bit of interesting story:

My sister had an Iphone and I remember setting up Findmyiphone (or whatever its called) during phone setup. She loved her iphone :eek: . All was Ok until she decided to go for a shopping. Left her phone on the counter and it magically disappeared. She came home crying and panicking. I called her number and no answer. So i went to that apple website and tracked device location. It didnt gave me the exact location, but at least street name. So I texted saying "This iphone has been reported as stolen. We know your location (wrote the street name), please return it back before police will take action. $100 reward will be given upon returning it. Please call xxxxxxx" That probably scared the hell out of the thief. So guess what? We got a call from a lady saying "Oh I'm sorry, my old father has this habbit of grabbing people's cellphones, he is too old nevermind". Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DorkyDev:
haha! Did ya ever get the phone back or meet the old man?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DorkyDev:
A Criminals Remorse...

I wonder if anything will ever happen...

I got a popup message on the phone that says "Give it back, you stole a nice phone from a young pregnant girl who cant get a job cause of being pregnant. So return the phone dont be a low life. This is your last chance Mr Hampton Inn's at N Druid Hills Rd. You can meet me at 3451 Cobb Pkwy Ste 7 Acworth Ga. Or by all means I could call the cops" then a boot message that says "This is your last chance Mr Hampton Inn's at N Druid Hills Rd return it at 3451 Cobb Pkwy Ste 7 Acworth Ga or by all means I could call the cops and meet them where you are! xD Its up to you..." and a overlay message that says "DO NOT TOUCH PHONE IS UNDER LOCKDOWN FROM THEFT IF YOU TOUCH IT YOU WILL BE AN ACCOMPLISH IN THE CASE I GOT YOUR EXACT GPS CO-ORDINANCE" be sweet if someone actually returned it to the store I work, but I highly doubt it. LoL

At least I'm getting to scare the ever living frack out of them.

We had a car stolen with a note left in the center console. Using the note's gps we went to the location and called the Federales. They arrested the thief and we recovered the car and phone. Sometimes the app works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DorkyDev:
haha! Thats pretty awesome, I guess a tip to that thieve is next time ya steal a car throw any phones that aren't yours out the window.... I swear thieves are idiotic morons now a days!

But then again I think like a thief cause used to be a con artist back in my young and dumb days of teenagedom...

Hehe of course. It was a lady who returned to me saying her father had mental issues and it wasnt the first time he took someones phone at the store.

Old man at woman's clothing store ? lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DorkyDev:
Well I would almost buy that, if it wasn't a womans clothing store... My dad is 89 and going through first phases of dementia and he shoplifts a lot, it's a known side effect too really. He got caught stealing a hot wheel from a grocery store, I've seen him in the process of it sometimes and am just like OMG he seriously pulls out his pocket knife and cuts the car out from the backside. But this last time my moms decided not to take him shopping with her anymore at all hardly.

Speaking of silly thieves this person told my gf she was gunna return it they spoke to eachother today now, but hahaha yea right!! Now ya wanna return it cause ya ass is locked out of it and it's useless to ya now. The damn Note has been missing ever since the 18th and now TODAY she decides to return it, sure, I sent a text to the moron to my gf's number telling them to bring it back or else and that was on the 22nd!! LMAO
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DorkyDev:
Well we got the phone back, but the screen is all cracked and the back was chipped up...

We gave it back to them unlocked, then later on that night I locked it up again and put a new overlay and boot message on it that said "BRING IT BACK FULLY REPAIRED & WE WONT PRESS CHARGES" hahaha

Hi, I downloaded Where's My Droid from the app store and in order to use the remote lock and wipe feature you have to set the app as a device admin. Whenever I try to do that my phone reports this message "Unfortunately null has stopped." At first I thought it was just an issue with the Where's My Droid app but I tried to set other apps as device admins and received the same results. Can anyone help me find a solution to this problem? Thank you very much.

The metal beneath the black chrome bezel look much better. I still have the majority of the black on the bezel.

Thought I'd share this link that I recently found. It's a site where you can generate your own wallpaper, like one of those in the nexus 4 ads.

Hit "export" in the right hand panel after adjusting the options to generate your wallpaper.

Here is two examples that i've generated:

hey buddy, sorry for my stupid questions.. i just want to ask

i've just opened mod systemUI, there is a different between our stock systemUI

our stock systemUI didn't contain drawable-hdpi, but one mod which i've just opened with winrar contain drawable hdpi and did not contain drawble-mdpi....

what the different? does it reduce a little ram? why drawble hdpi run in our mdpi based?

hope any body will answer my question:laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DdcCabuslay:
It's just images. HDPI images are bigger than MDPI, but it doesn't cause performance issues. The mod might've been built on top of an HDPI-based SystemUI.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] razz2503:
Owh... a little understand, but still confused how it can run perfectly on MDPI phone...

any way thx
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Abhinav1997:
Android has the ability in itself that it automatically resizes the images from ur hdpi mod to mdpi...basically u can use most of the hdpi mods and it may work for mdpi devices too..;)

Press THANKS if I helped,

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lsander:
As above man.

Hdpi graphics are automatically being scaleing into our density. If this only one app thats not a big problem. But for example in miui v5 everything is hdpi so phone need to scale every app and it take a little ram.

But if you have only some hdpi apps there wont be loose on performance.

What more? For example in build.prop in system if line named

ro.lcd.density 160.

160 is size which have mdpi.

I changed for example to to 140 and everuthong looks better.

If you will change it to dpi which use hdpi devices graphics dont need to be scaled. But it will give probably hard qith using ajd really bad look on our small screens.

If we answered your question change subject of first post to solved.

[LG Optimus 3D] keith210350:
ICS official LG 30A has changed 3d mp4 video codec to : codec id = isom and now uses frame tripling. Not sure if this is good or bad, but the file does cause w7 to hang and had to reboot in safe mode to delete it. What the $%^& is FRAME TRIPLING the frame rate is 29.98 (30) fps progressive. This is reported by using mediainfo on the mp4 file output by O3D

Also the phone has lost ability to play mpo files, it displays 1 and then 2 {left then right } but only if you shake the phone. Is this my update playing up or have all updated (as opposed to a clean install, phone recovery) versions got these problems.

I also have a white square with a 1 in it displaying in the system tray alongside the network strength meter and can't find a description for it in android system help or any other phone manuals that use ICS.

That's a known bug in TWRP. Install a version previous to the one you're using, or install COTR.

not to sound like a total noob but how do I do it in fastboot
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacobloveskindles:
if i do this will it overwrite my other recovery?

If I use your soup kit to change into fast boot can I just install twrp on soup kit and it will downgrade me to an older version?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Yes, the SoupKit that is posted now has an older version of TWRP. I'm in the process of updating it so you should probably grab it while you have the chance, should you decide to go that route. You could also install Cannibal Open Touch Recovery. All versions of it are quite stable.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacobloveskindles:
confused

So if I'm inside twrp and have soupkit up on the PC and have my kindle plugged in and change it to fast boot then hit flash twrp will it do its thing and downgrade me and reboot my kindle into twrp 2.2 and let me install a ROM.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
It has been brought to my attention that you may be confused between the KFU (Kindle Fire Utility) and TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project). The KFU is a Windows based utility used to change bootmodes, install custom versions of the recovery and bootloader partition images along with various other tasks. It has no affiliation with TWRP, COTR, or FireFireFire, other than it installs them to your device for you.

However, the "bug" in TWRP mentioned earlier is due to that way it handles the updater scripts in certain ROMS. It has nothing to do with your system files. The reason you have no system files right now, is because you wiped them prior to attempting to flash a ROM. Since the ROM was never successfully flashed, you have no system files in place, therefore nothing to boot to.

Downgrade your version of TWRP, or install a different recovery altogether, make sure you have wiped data (factory reset) and reinstall your ROM. After that, you should no longer have any problems.

I strongly suggest you take the time to read the guides and tutorials available for the Kindle Fire and make sure you understand how everything works before you do something and get yourself in a situation that you can't get out of on your own.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacobloveskindles:
There are no tutorials on how to downgrade twrp on kindle fire.look at my previous post its not about kfu its about your soup kit.I checked your thumbnails.it allows me to install twrp but,please I need to know how to downgrade twrp without using the command line.the last time I used the command prompt or typed a command windows gave me a bsod.but now I'm in Linux because of that,anyways,in other words,I don't wanna use a command line.just pleez read my previous post over entirely.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
I did read your post, entirely.

I'm addressing the fact that you contacted the developer of the KFU, and due to your confusion about things work, gave him the impression that I said something that I clearly haven't.

The "bug" mentioned earlier in this thread has nothing at all to do with the KFU, therefore the developer of that utility is not responsible for it. That being said, the bug in TWRP that prevented you from flashing a ROM has nothing to do with the fact that you don't have system files, as you erroneously assumed.

Even with that, you as the user, assume all responsibility for anything you do to your device, not the developers of this community. This is a community of developers, for developers. This is not a community of developers, for people that don't know what they're getting into, and run into trouble as a result of it.

Now, for your problem at hand...

If you go through this thread carefully, you'll see that I have already answered your question. Go back and pay attention to what's been said and you should be fine.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacobloveskindles:

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
I'm not an expert on this but let do together. I want to learn something too.

According to the previous post, you asked and soupmagnet already answered that it will install a previous version of TWRP.

Why don't you do that then?

Next question is can you get into TWRP (whatever version you're using now, new or old)?

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Well, if you can get into TWRP then why not just flash it :(

What are you waiting for?

Did soupmagnet or someone already say it? flash either the previous version of TWRP or COTR.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
I can't believe this is still being discussed.

Yes, you can flash recovery in recovery using a flashable .zip (like the one I posted) or via the command line. And SoupKit will install recovery whether you are booted into fastboot, recovery, or a normally booted device.

You're making this way harder than it needs to be. You could have avoided all of this if you would have just read the guides and tutorials available to you from the start.
