Needs to be the same amount of partitions as shown in the picture.. I think it's 32? if I'm not mistaken. If not, then you cannot recover.

no, it's not printed on the phone anywhere. It's in the Hboot or in the box the phone came with. that's it.

If you got it from AT&T, contact them and ask for bit. Whenever they activate a phone, we store it in the system and keeps track of what phone the customer is using.

update

yo boyz. i gave the phone back to rogers as it couldn't turn on. they replaced the motherboard and batery and softkey fpc assy which i dunno what it is.

so i technically got a new phone. chasing my old sd card with them tomorrow(which i will never get back probably as it is integrated).

anyway. must say that it took them less than 8 days, including shipping, which is much much better a time then back home in europe... and i am very happy. vroke my fingers and nerves on lg e400r which they gave me as a replacement phone.

thank you guys.

i guess no more tweaking for me unless you guys wanna do it for me :)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] goldflame09:
One last one just in case :p

also if this is in the wrong section, can someone please let me know. Thanks :good:

this guide is also a work-in-progress and no where near complete. again, feel free to offer whatever advice you have
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
A couple things to point out here, quickly:

* Don't try to do a massive overwrite a la CCleaner if you have a SSD. It will do nothing except use up a small portion of the disk's lifetime. SSD logical sectors are dynamically mapped to physical NAND blocks by a wear-leveling algorithm; overwriting the same address on the "disk" 35 times probably just means burning one write operation (out of tens or hundreds of thousand each, mind you) on 35 different chunks of NAND memory. Trying to read the "erased" data back in after even a single overwrite is quite futile, though.

* Manual defragmentation shouldn't be necessary on Win7 or later, unless somebody has disabled or otherwise tampered with the automatically scheduled task that runs it in the background. If you never leave the computer on except when it's in active use, though, it might be necessary. Also, SSDs don't benefit from defragmentation in any meaningful way - the speed boost is completely trivial given the lack of seek times, but again it burns a bit of NAND lifetime - although Windows should be smart enough to figure this out on its own.

A tip of my own: there's a bunch of Windows Services which are enabled by default because *somebody* might need them, but which are really unnecessary on most computers. Some good examples include the Bluetooth service (if you don't have or don't use Bluetooth), Encrypting File System (if you don't use EFS), Print Spooler (if you never print), and so on. These can be disabled from the Services management console (services.msc, or find Services using the Start search). I actually recommend just turning them from "Automatic" down to "Manual"; this way, if you ever do want to use such a thing, it's possible that it will still work when you try to invoke it. As with other tweaks, do bear in mind what you've changed and watch for any potential system problems; if you're unsure, either revert the change or don't make it in the first place. Changing certain system services will make the system nigh-unusable. Also, be aware that changing many of these services really won't help much; it might shave fractions of a second each off of the bootup time of the system and/or save a few megs of RAM, but an idle service really isn't that big a threat to system performance if it's not coded completely horribly.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
+1 on defrag. In almost a year on win7 I never had to manually invoke defrag, whenever I went to and analysed the disk it was only ever 1%, on the 80gb hard disk I had at the time its an insignificant amount of dragged data and I ignored it. I got windows 8 in November and so far it still says 0%.

I would recommend at least checking the values though, especially for external drives (my one hit 20%, think it was unplugged during windows scheduled defrags)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] isangelous:
A note on freeing up space (which is a good idea!):

35 passes is also overkill on hard disks. Most government standards only require 1-3 passes. Just one pass is sufficient to prevent data recovery via software - there are probably only a handful of labs in the world which can recover data after this (by removing the platters from the drive and reading the bits off).

You also don't need to do this at all if you use bitlocker or truecrypt to encrypt the drive.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] goldflame09:
Updated:

added service management to second post
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] the_scotsman:
Windows 8 knows if an SSD is being used. If it sees one, it won't allow you to "defrag". it will still allow you to "optimise" the drive. What this does is to manage TRIM to help clean the drives.

Look up TRIM if you want to know more. But do not disable the scheduled "optimisation" of an SSD drive as it's not a defrag, it does other things.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtrader:
Hi,

Coming from an iPhone, i was amazed at this jailbroken app called PMP (Protect My Privacy). Basically what this app does it have control over which app and what so-called permission each app can access (Ex. Allow or Disable app from accessing Contacts, Location and such). This is extremely helpful to prevent app from sniffing on my private info without user knowing. And with their crowd-sourced recommendation, people can share their settings on specific app and recommend you if you should enable or disable a setting, which can be very handy for user to help users losing private info.

I was wondering if there are any app out there or similar for Android that allow user to do the same function, Allowing or Disable apps from accessing certain PERMISSIONS when installing an app.

Hopefully Google incorporate this into their Playstore because so many apps requires such ridiculous permissions like reading your phone data call logs etc.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
for root, su permissions, there is the superuser or supersu app. you need it if you have root to allow or not allow su permissions.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myturbo1:
But it only has control over apps that required root access.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
this is one app that you seek https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stericson.permissions.donate

there are others in the market if you searched. but, you will need root to use any app that will change permissions. you cant do it with an unrooted device.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
I do it all the time to be sure my battery won't run down too much. I've never had an issue with doing this. I seem to remember a post somewhere that recommended against it but I don't remember why.

I don't know if it's bad but I personally do it all day long, testing and flashing with phone plugged in, always have with all my phones, could be bad though, but I've never encountered anything.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD0600:
Hi guys! This is my new post so I'll introduce myself. My name is Ignacio from Argentina and I'm a newbie ROM developer.

I started my first custom ROM project for the Samsung GT-B5510L two weeks ago, and despite I could flash my first zip file based on a stock ROM, I could not make work the modem. The zip file contained:

< META-INF/ - system/ - boot.img - installbusybox >

I took META-INF folder and installbusybox script from another ROM (with the owner permissions) and the ROM worked, except the modem. Here there is the updater-script lines:

I used dsixda Android Kitchen (v0.223-2-gcbde6e4) to deodex, zipaligne, add root permissions, install busybox, cook it and sign it.

I flashed it with Clock Work Mode Recovery (with previous wipes) and it worked, but as I said, I could not make the modem work.

Now I have started the project from the begining and took all the files from the stock ROM. "META-INF" from the CSC, "boot.img" & "system" from the PDA, and "BcmCP.img" from the PHONE (which I think it's the modem).

The stock updater-script contains the following lines:

I asked myself if you could help me to add the necessary lines to have a clean updater-script, and also include the "BcmCP.img" in the ROM to make the modem work properly. Thank you very much, and sorry if I sound a bit rude, my english is not so good x)

Regards!

Ignacio

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Grumpy Bob:
So I just converted from the iWagon to this beauty. LOVING the IR receiver for my TV and the UI for program tuning! MAN oh Man. I actually had a moment where I thought to myself I may be too stupid or old for this phone (I'm 28 har har). It's worlds above iPhone.

Speakers are amazing as well!

However....

I also own a Nexus 7 and I'm not sure if it's because my N7 is running 4.2 JB or what but there are some features that are sorely missed.

Love the dual status bar swipe (swipe left side of top bar and you get progam specific notifications, swipe right side and you get system settings type notes). Also missing is the widget for ANY OTHER EMAIL other than Gmail. Gmail has a nice 3x3 scale-able widget where you can view (and scroll) recent emails, however there doesn't seem to be one for OTHER email address such as Outlook or Yahoo. My N7 has this widget and my co-workers have it on their Note 2's. May be an HTC thing.

Also, I really love the visual style of Sense 5 and the information flow screen is pretty great. BUT, I feel that the Nova Launcher better suits my needs for the Dock icons. I want to be able to have 6 or 7 icons (phone, sms, music, chrome, camera, mail, apps) on the dock at all times. Sense 5 doesn't let you customize it. Annoying especially because I use Chrome rather than the stock browser.

I wish there was some way to have the Sense 5 flow style combined with the good parts of Nova Launcher... Anyone know of a way to do that? If there was a way to combine both seamlessly, I would be STOKED.

Anyways, needless to say I love this frackin thing. Can't wait to see what people come up with for personal customization.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
You can customize the dock. You have to open the app drawer then pull one of the ones off the dock and then add chrome. It's kinda stupid that you can only change them by opening the app drawer (as you know they just come back of you remove them while on the homescreen)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Grumpy Bob:
Hmm interesting. I see what you mean. So weird it has to go through app drawer... Still doesn't solve the 6-7 icons on Dock though...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cachookaman:
i stopped using sense a few hours after i got the phone and went back to nova launcher. blinkfeed was cool for a few minutes but i dont see using it in my daily life. i also miss having drop down toggles for things like wifi but i installed widgetsoid for that. if sense were more customizable and less clunky i may have considered keeping it but nova just does everything i want and more.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] whitetiger_0603:
^^This..is exactly why I switched to using Nova again. I like being able to customize my stuff. I do miss the drop down toggles as well. That is my only true gripe about this phone.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] minicoop7:
Nova user too. I switch between the two and have Sense as default coz I'm still liking Blinkfeed. I don't mind the folders on the dock coz I can always switch to Nova.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tell4ever:
for me apex enhances my experience with the one,,, don't get me wrong i love sense 5 but apex gives me much more flexibility
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cachookaman:
you can set a shortcut to blinkfeed using nova launcher. just go to shortcuts > activities > HTC sense. thats what i did and i deleted all the additional screens so it just goes to blinkfeed. after youre done with looking at blinkfeed then you just press the home button to go back to nova.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] minicoop7:
I have it the other way around. Sense is default, placed nova app on dock. Tapping Home takes me back to Blinkfeed then tap dock for Nova when I'm done with Blinkfeed :)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] erik111111:
I have it set up the other way, but your way may even be better. Kind of like using blinkfeed as a lock screen, not really but like a landing screen.

So First of all, I'm Happy with my device l, very happy! It runs and basta.

At the moment I'm on elegancia and elitekernel. My Question is, how much mah drain do you get in standby, on everything off, no sync, no Connction.... In my case maximum is -50mah and best -15 but most of the time -40. Is it normal and how to optimize it even more? Ninja core underclock/-volt? :DD I'm just wondering coming from HTC Desire HD, okay singlecore , which had sometimes -3 and not more than -10. In comparison companion core vs. Dhd's Qsm 8255 should logically be bettee ??? I'm just really intrested in Standby not screen on things, because it's exlainable: 4,7 hd + tegra3 ap37 is heavy load....

I'm on stock rooted ROM and since some days 'fused location' is causing heavy battery drain(it uses up to 40% of power). What exactly is it ? An app or localisation service? I'm not using Google maps or any other apps which need GPS very often. Any way to solve that problem ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stremax:
fused location is system app introduced in android 4.0 wich has the ability to create a link between the sdcard and the system even if connected to a pc, before fused location introduction when connecting the phone to a pc the sdcard was not reachable from the system app cause of usb "preference" of pc cable, fused location create a virtual copy of the sdcard so, even if conncted via usb the system app can use the sdcard content,

check this link for more info, in nexus S, wich I was formerly owner, this could be some kind of corrupted file or even sd card content

I tried here in forum nearly every rom (which is maching my CID_102) and stock recoveries. But if I relock my bootloader I don't get into recovery anymore and the flashing over rebootRUU is breaking with a "verification fail"!

Is anybody here who can give me a litte "HowTo", to get back to stock, that I'm able update my device via OTA?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mobileunlocked:
It's always a mystery to me why someone would persist with entering the wrong unlock code 10 times. There are only 2 that it could be for a BlackBerry phone - either the NCK (MEP2) or SPCK (MEP4).

You'll need to get the attempts restored before you can enter any more unlock codes. To do that I'd suggest taking the phone to a local phone shop who should have software to do it. Alternatively there are websites that can provide the software so you can do it at home.
