The easiest would be to make the backup of the app then move it to extsd and also save anything else you want to keep then go to recovery and do all the wipes then restore your last nandroid backup then reboot, once in system move the app from extsd to wherever you want to put it and restart.

If you try uninstalling and replacing now you won't have any play services at all and then all your Google related apps will start an endless chain of FC's and it will be almost impossible to navigate

Going a teensy bit insane

For some reason, I woke up this week and hangouts has split my Hangouts chats from my Google voice/sms chats.

"Enable Merged Conversations" is selected but it's still split. When I deselect it, it makes 3 split convos.

It isn't just on my device, it's now in my gmail hanouts too. The gmail windows for my hangout shows the "SMS" button, but it then opens a new chat window.

I've cleared data, uninstalled updates, wiped the phone. I'm convinced it has to be some sort of unintended consequence of a setting or something. Google tech support has been useless.

Any ideas?

I'm losing my mind.

Porting CM 12.1, well out of my league.

I think he needs to be directed towards some guides about building CM from source.

If I remember correctly then CyanogenMod have a guide on their website and there's also some stuff at XDA-University that might be useful.

Hi there ,

i started learning java and i reached the oop, then i started learning how to create android apps, but actually in all courses they start by using the methods directly not to explian or express them, and i really wonder how should i be a developer without any knowledge of how these methods work?!

Should i search for those methods by myself ? !!!

Am i on the right path or what?

Really need your advice or a recommended online course or so, thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
XDA University has quite a bit of info for development of apps and android ROMs and recoveries.

And yeah, I know what you mean, some of the info on this kind of thing doesn't explain anything they only instruct what steps to take, about the only thing you really learn that way is how to follow instructions which binds you to requiring instructions for everything instead of giving some understanding of the how, why, when and where.

[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Well I'm not familiar with the device or the ROM that you're taking about but it's not a liability to the developers of your device to build a certain ROM.

It just happens to be that no one has decided to build it yet.

And it's not like anyone here has any special privileges to contact a developer.

You can ask a developer yourself whatever you want to, just send them a PM and I'm pretty sure most of them world be glad to reply you.

What do you guys/girls think about stripping down a S7 to make it easier to use for someone like my mom who is completely computer and internet incompetent? I need something that will make it easy to check emails and craigslist jobs with a single touch. The biggest thing would be the popup keyboard and navigating back to one another. I am contemplating to buy one and give it to my mom. She's over a 1000 miles away so I would have to make as easy as possible because explaining steps over the phone is so frustrating. What do you guys recommend. Ohhh by the way she does not have internet so she would be hopping on free wifi.

2 questions

1.I am using a Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747)-att variant and using a prepaid unlimited Sim card from net10 (Sim card on att mvno)

Not to long ago att pushed out the 4.2.1 update (my current version is 4.1.1) and i tried to update manually from the about section in settings,but every single try said i had the latest version. And i was wondering Do i need a att Sim with correct apn setting to receive the update or how do i go about doining this its not urgent since there is a leaked 4.2.2 update which Samsung is most likely skipping on to 4.3

2.I am rooted and recently been having trouble with the screen ,after waking my screen from sleep the brightness is up all the way for about 0.5 seconds and then returns to minimal amount this is getting very annoying especially outside on sunny days, but i have to turn brightness up all the way again just to see time ,during use it does not change but if i turn on at night when i do not notice the brightness change after about 5 min of use and the screen brightness fades it gets bright and fades until i touch the screen. this happens with auto britness on and off. i dont know if this is enough info or clear

thanks in advace :good:

HDC Storm MX won't detect sim card

I purchased an hdc storm mx (mtk6589, pre-rooted) from fastcardtech to replace my daughter's bootloopy optimusG. I purchased a straight talk att sim card and activated the card. The card is active but the new phone just says "no sim card" in either sim slot I use. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. The camera seems to work well, shows 13mp. Wifi works fast. The home button is functional, as are the other two bottom buttons. Mobile networks under settings is grayed out, so I cannot adjust apn settings. The phone is running android 4.2.1. Baseband version starts with MOLY.WR8. Model number says HDC. Build number says HDC Storm MX. SuperSU is an app, and avast and snap pea are listed there. There is another folder in supersu which says R.E. and something else in Chinese. Google Play is also on the phone. Again, any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. I'd just like to get the phone to detect and use the sim card.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Most devs develop the device they personally have because to do the job right they need to test what they put together because otherwise they would have to put an initial ROM together then have a third party test it and under those conditions the tester runs the risk of bricking their phone and when a user bricks a device with something a dev put together its likely that they wouldn't want to keep testing for that dev and without a tester the ROM can't be developed into a stable build, they gotta have the device on hand to do it right, are you willing to donate a device to a dev that is willing, if not then you're probably out of luck so you'd get a ROM sooner if you ported it or built it for yourself. I know it sucks but that's generally how the game works.

Xposed Framework
[General Questions and Answers] Faisal Z Ahmad:
If i want to uninstall xposed on lollipop a rom restore should be fine and what happens to the modules and xposed installer? A good answer will be appreciated
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you flash a new ROM then Xposed gets erased unless you make a backup the Exposed framework and its modules with something like Titanium Backup. Once you install the new ROM you'll have restore the backup from Titanium Backup or from whatever you use to back it up.

If you just want to uninstall Xposed but keep your ROM you don't have to do a restore, you can just save Xposed somewhere then uninstall it and its modules. Then you'll still have your ROM and you'll have Xposed saved somewhere in case you want to reinstall it at a later date.

Hey there, I've gotten into a bit of a pickle trying to root my AT&T Alcatel C1 running Kit Kat 4.4.2.

I've searched around XDA and also Google, but it appears that there is no currently no root exploit for the phone's Kit Kat ROM, only its original Jelly Bean ROM. Sadly, mine came with Kit Kat preinstalled. I've tried many one-touch-root type apps such as towelroot and also methods that use ADB to no avail.

Framaroot apparently is the go-to method for the C1's stock Jelly Bean, but does nothing for Kit Kat.

Thanks in advance to any replies.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Check into downgrading your phone to the jelly bean firmware for your phone, if its safe to downgrade and you can find the firmware and install it then you'll be able to use the known exploits for that firmware, if you downgrade it will factory reset your device and you'll lose all your user data so make sure you back up everything you want to keep before you do it.
[General Questions and Answers] Android Pizza:
Thanks man, will do.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Verify that downgrading will not harm your device, some devices can't be safely downgraded.

Unfortunately you have a locked bootloader and I'm not finding anything for unlocking your bootloader, supposedly there was an unlock tool at the Samsung App store to unlock your bootloader but users of your device report that the app is nowhere to be found. You can do some more in depth searches than I did for a method to unlock your bootloader but make sure that anything you might find is specifically for your sm-g920v, don't use anything that is not for that specific model number. Make absolutely sure that you get confirmation that it works on your model before you try it if you find anything. Using the wrong thing will brick your phone so be careful.

[General Questions and Answers] SLUDER4:
Hm never heard of that happening. Thats kind of weird, i always thought root was root
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
That's the problem with one click apps and flashing apps, they can be unreliable because they are used on a wide range of platforms, all the platforms aren't the same so its impossible to get truly consistent results from device to device. Some of the rooting apps will root a device and root checker will verify root but the method of rooting will cause issues on certain devices that would not be there if a different rooting method had been used. Issues such as the root access that you do have will allow you to do things with no problem but then won't allow you to do others, another is it will root and as long as the device is on it will have root but will be lost as soon as it is powered off. Some are designed to be temporary root purposely, but some that aren't designed to be temp root will give you temp root results depending on the device.

One of the first things I did when I first started learning to root and mod android was to research not only the root methods but also the issues that users were having with root once it was gained or issues they would have during the root process. The reason why I did that is because with my first rooted device I found users saying they had used Poot(that's why I gave it as an example) to root the device I had but then had issues with the stuff they were trying to do, but when the device was unrooted then rooted again with a different more reliable method then the mods would go right even though Poot gave results that the device was successfully rooted it was not fully rooted. Then there are examples like ROM manager that has been known to brick devices where the device would not have been bricked if the same stuff was used with a different flashing tool, TWRP manager is another example, it will flash your recovery but you'll have issues with the recovery that you would not have had if the recovery were flashed by a different method.

No, I would look for help threads for Xposed or Xblast issues and your device model's forum to see if other users with your device are having the same issue and what if anything they are doing to fix it.
