1. Twrp is still supported and the development is very active but cwm is pretty much abandoned

2. Twrp is touch based while cwm was mainly analogue (though there's also a touch version of cwm)

3. Twrp has more features then cwm thanks to #1 difference

4. Twrp has powerful and easy theming capabilities but cwm doesn't

Type that "2300 apk download" in Google and you'll most probably get it

How to get rid of the new Lollipop bootloader and animations?

Although I downgraded the firmware to KitKat, I still have the new Lollipop bootloader and animations. Like the power off battery animation. This indicates there are still something left in the device from the latest firmware. This also might explain the instability of my device. I want to ERASE the phone to its very stock. I want to start from zero. Factory reset doesn't help. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Tired of waiting for AT&T to update, but want to stay with HTC OTAs

Using an HTC One M9 on AT&T (everything still official)

First, I'd like to say that I'm new to forums in general, so I'm sorry if I'm rough around the edges with the etiquette. I do, however, know my way around Android to the point that I can unlock, flash, and root pretty efficiently.

Now, as for my question, I've been wondering if there is any way to basically get around the AT&T software updates without actually flashing a custom ROM. My first thought was maybe I could run the RUU for the unlocked phone off of the HTC Support page, but I didn't want to run the risk of bricking the phone if the software isn't compatible.

I'm only willing to flash a custom ROM if I know I can trust the security of it and that I'll be getting a relatively vanilla version of Android (much like cyanogen).

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

[General Questions and Answers] karasahin:
How do you think I downgraded from Lollipop to KitKat if not for flashing? Please, meaningful replies.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Well, there's downgrading in custom recovery with custom ROMs and then there is downgrading via PC, each with different results.

Since you didn't post how you downgraded, the correct response could go one way or the other.

Flashing via PC via your devices flashing software and your correct firmware "shouldn't" have given you the issue you're having because typically it formats and flashes over every part of your firmware.

Providing all the info such as what model number you have, the firmware build that you had and the firmware build you flashed would make things a little clearer.

Screen record system freeze(5.1.1)

Hello,

Flashed lollipop rom(many) but in all of them when i start screen record it freezes the phone. I didnt select the dont show again dialog box when recording starts. Tried reinstalling the recorders. Recording worked in stock firmware(JB).

The background sounds of the game keep playing but the touch and buttons do not work. Is there any fix?

Noob question: Can kitkat's recording code put in the lollipop code to fix it?

Thanks

EDIT: Does screen record also cause system crash in Marshmallow?
[General Questions and Answers] karasahin:
Yes, you are right. I should have told you earlier. I did flashing via Odin. I have the Galaxy S5 900FQ. It is not rooted "yet" but I don't give a slightest damn about the warranty void. I have downloaded the latest KitKat firmware. Its changelist number is 2089850. Should I try to downgrade with custom recovery? Would that be OK? By different results what did you mean exactly?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Flashing via Odin flashes the entire firmware. Flashing via custom recovery only flashes system, data and cache typically, and doesn't touch all the other parts of the original firmware.

Change list number doesn't exactly help, the actual build number will be a series of numbers and letters, that information is what would help me, also, the build number of the lollipop build you had along with the kit kat build would be more informative to me.

DS Battery Saver app question.

Applied via Xposed module and set for slumberer meaning the phone stays in ds while screen is off.

However, when I turn the screen on the 4g/LTE icon is enabled and flashing even though before the screen switched off I was connected to WiFi.

This has me wondering if having the DS Battery Saver running is forcing my 4g to be enabled and running in the background all the while my screen is off and eating up my data on my plan??

Or, is it just temporarily defaulting to the 4g/LTE once the screen comes on (it does switch to wifi pretty quickly once the screen comes on).

I just want to be sure that data isn't running in the background while screen is off. It shouldn't be and I created a macro in macrodroid to prevent that. The only time the 4g/lte icon displays is when the ds app is enabled.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Though I'm not familiar with your specific model number, I'm not seeing how you are having this issue and I'm not seeing how flashing a downgraded firmware would leave anything behind because as I said, when flashing via Odin all of your partitions are overwritten with the new firmware and by all rights "shouldn't" leave anything behind from the previous firmware.

What was your purpose for downgrading? Is there a specific reason or something about stock lollipop that you didn't like?

Have you tried flashing back to what you had?

Have you considered rooting the device and then installing custom recovery and a custom ROM of your choice to achieve the purpose you had in mind?

When you downgraded, what options did you have selected in Odin? Did you do any research to see if there were any special circumstances or specific things you needed to do when downgrading?

Did you read any threads or guides for downgrading your specific model number or specific things that needed to be done to flash the specific downgraded firmware you flashed?

Can sketchy or malware corrupt a phone partition? My 5x received the red exclamation corruption message and now it won't turn on. No mod was applied to the phone at all
[General Questions and Answers] karasahin:
1) I don't get it either :(

2) Stock Lollipop came with the phone was (now it is broken because of the latest update) perfect except it had low volume phone calls. Other people I talked said many times that they can't hear my voice well or they hear very low.

I updated to the latest firmware to get rid of this but after updating the firmware the phone becomes too hot. It is overheating. Ambient temperature all the same. I can't hold it properly because of oily and greasy sides caused by overheating. It slips through in my hands. Never had such a problem at stock Lollipop.

3) Already tried factory reset, wipe cache and data, go back to stock Lollipop and lastly downgraded to KitKat. Nothing helped.

4) Yes. **** warranty. A custom recovery sure but in some cases people lose their IMEI after flashing a custom ROM, so I'm little hesitant for flashing a custom ROM.

5) I did research of course. I don't select any options in Odin. I leave them as it is. Just put the firmware file selecting AP and then start.

6) Yes. No, there are no specific things regarding flashing for this particular device.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yeah, that excessive heat is a common issue with lollipop for some reason on all devices whether stock or custom for some reason. Its less of a problem on stock as it is with custom. It usually accompanies excessive battery drain. I saw a post by another member a few days ago saying that Google is "looking into it" but who knows how that would go.

If you're afraid of losing IMEI when flashing custom, you can always do an IMEI/efs backup before flashing, then you'd be able to recover if something happens.

Are there no other threads or other members that have your model that are more familiar with your model and its issues that may can help you with specifics.

The firmware files I download don't contain "misc" directory. There are "boot, recovery, modem, cache, system" files but no "misc". The device itself has also that "misc" directory.

/misc

This partition contains miscellaneous system settings in form of on/off switches. These settings may include CID (Carrier or Region ID), USB configuration and certain hardware settings etc. This is an important partition and if it is corrupt or missing, several of the device’s features will will not function normally.

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...plained-boot-system-recovery-data-cache-misc/

Could this directory be the cause? I have not seen a custom recovery that has "/erase misc" command. I think there are still infos belong to the latest firmware are here. So, unlucky me because it seems a custom recovery cannot deal with this directory. Go figure...

Your options are:

1) think long and hard until you remember

Or

2) contact Google and start an account recovery process, they'll start a process of verifying your identity and in a few days or more they'll get you set back up.

***NOTE***

There is no guarantee that you'll recover the account, if not, you'll have to create another account and lose all information associated with the original account.

Next time be more responsible minded and use login and password that you can remember easier, also its best to associate a backup account with your main account, the backup account can be used to recover the original much easier and in a shorter amount of time.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
As long as the PIT you use is compatible or made for the firmware you flash you should be fine.

Check to see if you need to have the repartition option checked in Odin or not.

I have never had to flash with a PIT so I'm not 100% sure of which options need to be checked or not.

Some of these things I'm no expert on because I've been careful enough to avoid various flashing issues, but I'm somewhat familiar with some of the methods used to repair some of the issues.

Having the problems and having to use the methods would give me more experience with it but I'm not going to go trying to cause the issues just to learn how it's done. I value my devices too much for that kind of experimentation.

by rights you can proxy anything. anything that accepts a tor connection anyway.

some sites dont accept tor proxy but most do.

theres not much point proxying with tor on your phone if youve got google play not proxying as it defeats the object of being anonymous.

same goes for proxying such apps when your signed in with your email accounts. there all traceable so you might as not use a tor proxy.

mobile tor is not recomended for anomynimity. you might as well use a good vpn if your trying to access blocked sites. if your accessing ilegal sites then good luck with that one from mobile. even your gps can be turned on by google play while your on tor just to determine your real location and I'm sure it makes a little note of it somewhere.

by rights..any not system app can be bypassed by entering safe mode.

my works phone is protected by 360 security and another app that restricts usage to just 2 work apps and no system access.

i just simply enter safe mode to do what i want on it without restrictions then reboot with the changes.

make calls texts..tether..anything.

so a system security would be recommended like encryption.

even device administrators are disabled in safe mode...eg...lookout. so even something like that is pointless.

in the same sense it depends on the knowledge of the finder of the phone.

I could have your phone open and accessable within seconds and next person could not know what too do with it...the next might just hand it in lol .
