lol thats funny. one post leads you to another, that just leads you back to the first. nice!

if there is an actual download in there somewhere i dont see it.

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

i havent been visiting this thread much, so i just read back about 5 pages to see whats been up.

WOW!! please take a bit of advice from me, and dont try to give any more advice until you learn a bit more about how customizing your phone works.

im not going to get into a debate with you, but you said some things to other users that is very wrong, and could lead to damaging their device.

sit back, relax, read a lot and get a handle on the situation first. you will be better off for reading too much in the long run.

yes, you will find some conflicting post's, but once you get a handle on things, you will understand whats likely correct and whats not, and who consistently gives good advice because they are dedicated to the forum, as i am.

if you believe someone is giving bad advice, take the time to find some post proving it, then post them. that way you can have an educated debate about the issue, instead of bickering like school kids. that helps no one.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] JamesGoodmanOne:
Thanks for your understanding.

Ive never been rude to anyone here, im just surprised that bringing attention to contradictory information has lead to the backlash you describe.

Even with the different advice i think people are helping me here.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
its all good :)

thats why i suggest you bring proof. no one will ever know it all, and frequently there are several ways to get to the same place. neither may be wrong, some people just prefer different methods, which makes it look like our advice is bad.

frequently, its just a misunderstanding, or a technicality thats not normal but may be correct, if we were able to review the information.
[General Questions and Answers] JamesGoodmanOne:
I understand.

I think it might be that people here might dislike their methods not being used, as much as ive read that you can easily brick your phone, with the wrong information. I might be too worried about that.

after some digging, its reported that andromax (and occasionaly your carrier) is intentionally password protecting usb to keep you out.

it would appear that some glitch during the update let you in, but as soon as it was tampered with, the protection software kicked in and locked it back.

the password was cracked on another andromax model, according to google, but i doubt it will work on yours. here it is if you want to try it 260981

very true, but it may be more accurate to say that, they try to steer you towards what they are most familiar with. i know thats true in my case. i may know other ways exist, but if you dont follow the path i know best, i may only be able to provide limited, or no help at all, which really isnt going to help you get it done.

a good example is flashing recoveries with flashify, its the lazy way, but it works on some devices. if you never learn how to use adb and fastboot (if applicable) your really depriving yourself of learning how things are done, not to mention they can be useful if you get into a bind. both do the same job, but one requires you to learn some useful skills, and the other just requires you to buy a banana as a reward for the monkey who showed you the button to click.

no disrespect intended, just a simple metaphor to make a point.

btw, Pro Tip: i have had probably a dozen smart phones, and never bricked one. yes im a little tense with the first couple mods on a new phone, but i will never mod a phone until the stock files are available, and i am intimately versed on how to use them to fix whatever i break.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
you are welcome, glad to see I was clear enough for you, did I lose you anywhere or was it easy?
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
i have rooted the majority of my devices the same day i got them. there is really little risk if you follow the directions properly, and have the files to recover the device if need be. unlocking may be slightly more risky depending on the method, but generally there is little risk vs reward.

with a truly unlocked device, you have to do something really dumb to brick it (ie: flash another models firmware). an unlocked device is basically the same as a developer edition, and you will be hard pressed to find many people who wouldnt wish every device was unlock-able. that gives you unrestricted freedom to mod your phone with the lowest risk of bricking it.

Can you point me to how i tried going from spirt rom 4.4.4 back to rooted stock but got stuck in boot loop? Would like to know for future incidents.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
You said rooted ROM. If you want stock, there are near stock custom ROMs available that you can flash. Or you could flash any other custom one that is from something earlier than 4.4.4.

As far as total stock goes, I'm not certain. I never go back to stock. But truthfully, I don't think you can. But like i said, I'm not certain.
[General Questions and Answers] jacobrobles1764:
Oh cause i had a used the stock rooted rom so wouldn't trip knox really can't figure out what has changed so drastically that i can't seem to go from 4.4.4 to jellybean but if i can't go back it's ok, thank you for answering my question no one answered me last time :)

Huawei Honor Holly

@ immortalneo

Will xposed framework work on huawei honor holly?

if so will all modules work on it?
[General Questions and Answers] sndsnd:
It doesn't work. I tried.
[General Questions and Answers] RuggedHunter:
Not sure, but make a nandroid backup first and give it a try! Then post back, so the next guy wondering can find an answer with a search. :)

Probably not. Many modules are device specific. Some are not maintained, so updates might break them. Lots of good ones to test out though!

My advice for anything Xposed is to add slowly, to help you debug any issues. Also, when debugging a problem, remove modules one by one, testing in between.

[MENTION=5020814]RuggedHunter[/MENTION]

I dont have the phone yet. I was planning to buy but i am a lover of xposed. So, just wanted to know if icould tweak my phone as the emotion UI of Huawei is boring. Any suggestions to make it like Stock kitkat?

Anyway, thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] RuggedHunter:
I'm really not familiar with your device.

I think if you can edit your build.prop as follows:

Change ro.config.hwtheme=1 (or maybe it says 2 on your device)

To "ro.config.hwtheme=0"

Then you should be able to use this method for a different huawei model .

But research this well, and read carefully. Make sure you make a backup first and understand how to recover if it becomes necessary.

Wierd ADB device name

I'm pretty pretty noob to android know hows and i jut finally rooted it using farmaroot and got adb, fastboot and the device drivers. I got the drivers provided by some website and they seemed to work as the device was not popping up before installing them with the universal adb drivers. Anyway i got the adb going and when i connect the device the serial(?) is 0123456789ABCDEF

On the device manager the driver is called Alcatel Android ADB interface

The phone is an Alcatel OneTouch 4033D PopC3

Is it the Serial of the phone one or just something weird?

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

im not an expert in this area. i would think if the imie returns the wrong device, then someone switched the imie. the original one is likely black listed, i dont see any other reason to change it.

that doesnt necessarily mean you have the boost firmware on there, it may be correct, you would have to google search some firmware specific things from the about phone page, like the baseband, to find out.

Troubles in Making user apps as system apps
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Have you changed the size of your system partition to make it large enough to hold all of theses apps?
[General Questions and Answers] ashifashraf5:
The issue I'm facing is not related to free space. I can successfully move the Apk to /system/app but can't use it. Please read my full question in thread. I explained it with all details. Hope it covers all details:)
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
just curious, have you moved any apps that actually work afterwards?
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
I'm not really fully competent on this matter. The only times I have converted user apps to system apps, I have used the Link2SD app from the play store.

You could try giving that a shot. Sorry I couldn't help more.
[General Questions and Answers] ashifashraf5:
Ofcourse yes. I'm using several user apps like gmail, cleanmaster, solid explorer, playerpro, Google keep, etc on my Rom.

But I prefer to convert the apps which can't move to external memory and apps that I use alot.

Being a HTC desire user the app storage is not nearly enough. I made a list of apps on the thread that I wish to move but I couldn't.

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

PS: In fact some apps that I'm currently using as system apps are losing the system app compatibility as new updates come along. Google chrome is an example for that. I was using the old version as a system app, but the latest version won't work in system/app :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
if you have put others in the system, and they work, im not going to be much help either.

i have done it plenty of times for other reasons, and never had an issue as long as the app is compatible.

my only thought would be, possibly some apps are made to not work in the system on purpose, for security reasons. other than that, as long as the permissions are correct, space permitting, it should work.

lol, it looks like you pretty much answered your own question. if its not allowed to be in there, it wont work in there.

Troubles in Making user apps as system apps

I believe there is a solution. Or atleast an explanation LOL

Trying to find to for so long:D
[General Questions and Answers] phat0074:
I'm sure everything like firmware sw version and baseband all are sprint. boost doesn't have note 3s. it's just the esn is made up and the imei is from a boost mobile phone which wouldn't matter with a boost sim card but won't register on sprint's network. I just need to find a way to flash back to sprint
[General Questions and Answers] ashifashraf5:
I don't believe its a security reason. If it was like that the new devices won't be getting any new versions of Google search app , right?

I'm not an expert in this matter. And forgive me if I'm wrong. But I never read in an app update list that it can't work as a system app. Nor any mention (except some root app) that it is compatible with system app running.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
I would call that an explanation.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
it really doesnt matter if its security or not.

i think your missing the point a little bit. if the developer doesnt want the app to be moved to the system for any reason, they would just code it into the app so it wont work there. they have no obligation to tell you it wont work there, thats not technically where its supposed to be, and not where the play store would install it.

im sorry, but i cant be of more help than that. if its coded into the app to not work in system, your only option would be to tear apart the app, find the code, and remove it. i have 0 experience with de-compiling and compiling apps, so i wont be of any help there.
[General Questions and Answers] RuggedHunter:
I also don't have much experience in this area, so I hesitate to reply to your Q&A thread. But I do think you posted your question correctly, and it's obvious you've researched quite a bit before asking for help. :tips cap:

The only time I've converted user apps to system, I used Titanium Backup to do it.

If you had Chrome working as a system app, then it stopped working after an update...I wonder if Play Store might have updated back outside the partition?

I would try with TB. If it doesn't work, it may at least pop-up an error toast telling you why.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
i would return it as i said before, it sounds to me like you were scammed.

you would need to find a clean esn to put in there, i have no idea how to do it though. cheapest way to get one is likely to buy someones broken or water damaged phone to take the esn from.
[General Questions and Answers] phat0074:
the esn on the sticker is actually clean I just need to figure out how to switch it
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:

go in your settings in language and inputs and make sure you haven't disadled key board by mistake, or you can backup your apps and anything you want to save, make sure you have the backup to your google account enabled, if you didn't have google backup enabled, enable it and wait a few to let google backup sync then do a factory reset, if that doesn't work go boot to recovery and wipe cache, if you have a custom recovery wipe dalvik cache also, its in the advanced option in recovery, reboot, see if any of that helps, or you can try just reinstalling or updating your keyboard app
