[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, if you find no issue with flashing the other stock then unlock bootloader after flashing then you can flash the device without worries.

If you can unlock your current bootloader then you can also flash without worries. If the other firmware works for you then in theory you'll be able to use custom recovery and ROMs for that model if they exist and you'll also be able to use custom recovery and ROMs for the model of your device if they exist.
[General Questions and Answers] Edesh Kumar:
Thanks a lot for such detailed answers.

I have one another question that is there any way to backup current rom without unlocking bootloader? Something via usb debugging or using computer?

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If the device is rooted you can do an adb backup.

Do a Google search for:

How to adb backup

Pay attention to the guides and understand that the adb command to create a backup is different depending on what you want to include in the backup, make sure you use the right command to get everything you want.

Not sure but those low end devices are mostly unsupported by development.. So better go with root & xposed, actually it's all you probably need as you can do almost any tweaks with its modules.. Or let's say it's THE ALTERNATIVE to a non existing custom rom [emoji1]

One easy way would be to use the in built theme engine.

You can easily find a lot of themes for CM on the Play Store, many of which do come with custom navigation buttons.

Do adb backup include full rom backup?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
That is explained in many places if you did any searching for instructions on adb backup. It doesn't backup everything but it saves enough. Just read, read, read and then read again until you understand it.
[General Questions and Answers] Edesh Kumar:
Yes,I did but there was no straight answer for this so I questioned.

Leaving that topic behind.

Q:when I flash stock rom of different android version.do I have to do something with dalvik cache?

I cant understand what is dalvik cache.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Anytime you flash a ROM that is a different ROM than what you had, you factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Factory reset- wipes apps that were installed by you and all app data, wipes all saved settings, etc..

Wipe cache- wipes temporary loaded data that various apps and services have preloaded during use for faster loading

Wipe dalvik cache- wipes data that is loaded at boot to start all necessary apps and services.

***NOTE***

The exception to this rule of wiping when flashing ROMs is when doing a "dirty" flash. It involves only wiping cache and dalvik without factory resetting, this is done so that all saved app data and settings are retained in the new ROM. The important thing to remember is that a dirty flash is ONLY done when flashing an update of the exact same ROM you are using but a newer version. For example if you have CM11 that was made on a certain date but want to update to a newer version of CM11 that is a newer date, or even if you wanted to go from CM11 to CM12 or even CM12 to CM13. You couldn't dirty flash if you were to go from CM to Resurrection remix or from AICP to CM.

To dirty flash you flash the ROM then

Wipe cache and wipe dalvik but DO NOT factory reset(This will retain your apps and all saved app data and settings).

There is also a "clean" flash, it goes a step further than the first part of my post that describes the standard wipes when flashing a new ROM.

It involves using the advanced wipes in recovery to wipe system partition and data partition(you would also do the factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache in addition to these wipes)

This is sometimes needed to clear anything that factory reset wouldn't wipe, this prevents anything that might cause issues in the new ROM that might be hanging around from the previous ROM. Usually it is noted in the ROM thread when a clean flash is needed.

Do some searching and reading to understand all that better.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The wipes I was referring to were wipes done with custom recovery, not flashtools of any kind.

You'll have to read about your flashtool in your device forum or in forums for devices similar to yours that use the same flashtool.

I've got the Samsung galaxy core prime rooted with kingroot. The app that comes with it, kinguser I believe, I was told is usually best of replaced with supersu... but I need help doing that... I'm not sure how to go about replacing it without bricking my phone. Also what app or apps should I have installed if my phone is rooted? I figured I should have what's best so I don't destroy my phone cause lately it's been running very slowly and having some issues that I'm sure could be fixed if I had the correct things installed. Please someone help me
[General Questions and Answers] DeadXperiance:
You can search some script which remove kingroot and install supersu. By the way I had replaced supersu with Supersume.apk and manually delete kingroot with Es file explorer by root permission. After rooted search on playstore root you can find many more application which are fit for your purpose.

before do anything, you should backup your current os and data for safety

Xperia Z5c bootloader issues UK

Hi everyone. Im kind of new to rooting and such, the last time I did it was with the Galaxy S2 (what a phone!) and it was nice and simple. Now I have an Xperia Z5c and it's becoming a nightmare.

Here's the deal...

I've manages to flash Nilezon's custom room and root the phone successfully with the guide here on XDA, the bootloader is unlocked and system is rooted as far as I can tell (used various methods to.confirm it)

However, I cannot seem to install a custom recovery, I've found guides all over to tell me how to do it but none work. The problem seems to be accessing the bootloader and fastboot menu, if I power down and then connect to USB and hold volume up or down button (can't remember off hand which I needed at this point) I don't get a menu like the guides say, I just get a blank screen, the LED flashes to green or blue depending on what button I press, but still no further. Also when I try to flash the recovery it says device not found. I've tried apps and the adb commands and still gad no luck accessing the bootloader menu.

What, if anything can I do?

Thanks for reading and thank you even more if you can help.

[General Questions and Answers] northwindtrades:
You should be able to but some custom ROM's stock launcher keeps force crashing unless you directly flash gapps after flashing the rom.its not that hard to flash gapps:p

Could be an unstable rom.contact your phones fellow users who use the same rom if they have experienced the same
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, you can flash the ROM without the gapps and you can still use the phone, but if you decide later to flash gapps it might not work, its best to flash ROM and gapps together.

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------

Try a different gapps package than the one you used. If you're using a custom kernel and you've been tweaking it try more stable settings.

Guys please give me tips to keep my battery Li-ion Healthy and by the way my Phone is TECNO W4 released on 2016

And I have a question !

is it okay to charge my phone from 50% to 100% ?

I really want to keep my phone battery healthy and take care if it so I could have my phone for long time maybe 3 maybe 5 years :)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I'll cover the bases, you're rooted, you have all of your device manufacturers device drivers installed on PC(not just the ones that auto install when you connect the device), adb is setup properly and you have USB debugging turned on in the device settings?

Does your device have a secure or insecure kernel? adb requires an insecure kernel.
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Isn't your battery removable? I wouldn't buy a phone where simple battery change isn't possible.. Anyways most important is to keep battery between 15 - 95% some say to 100% but more important is to NOT fully discharge the battery.. That's what it will kill in long term..

There's no memory effect with this battery type so it's better to charge from 50% up than to run empty.. It's perfectly fine to charge the phone even partly.

What is the difference and whg people prefer bankgapps over other gapps
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
You can't say that in general, to my understanding there is no official gapps so it's pulled out of different OEM Roms and different developers made different versions to fit best to their custom roms like dirty unicorns it's banks but for resurrection remix it's the more or less standardized oppen gapps.. Others create gapps just for one specific rom..

I am new to xda, so can't post in the appropriate forum, so hopefully I can get some help here?

I'm trying to get s-voice on my phone. I installed the apk for the S4 S-Voice. There is no voice coming from the phone. It responds to me saying "Hi Galaxy" (the microphone icon lights up) but it doesn't seem to hear what I say after that. If I click the microphone icon again to let it know I'm done talking, it replies "No network connection. Connect to networks and try again" (just in text, no voice)

If I try to select "Settings", the app force closes and gives the message, "Unfortunately, S Voice has stopped"
