Hello XDA! I'll try to be as eloquent as I can :/

So... Few days later I heard about the ability to run Linux distributions on Android devices, normally as anyone else would do, I wanted to test it out and check if I can do something cool with it. Downloaded it successfully but when I try to move the file (more than 5 GB) to my MicroSD Card it tells me that the file system doesn't support large files because it is normally FAT32, and when I tried to format it as NTFS it didn't even read it.

My question is, is there any other way I could boot Linux up on my phone, provided that I own a Galaxy Grand 2 SM-G7102 with only 8GB internal storage...?!

Hi there!

I'm having a problem with my note 3 neo sm-n7505, I recently rooted it and wanted to try the screencast recording app, but everytime I open it this pops up

This is the demo version as well

I tried searching for answers on google, but some didnt have any solutions and some said anti virus apps could be blocking it and such

I tried another recording application, scr app and it works but whenever I change the audio to record from the internal it stops working.

Anybody know of where i can find a solution or another screen recorder that records with internal audio

Sorry if this is the wrong thread btw I thought it was the best place to give it a go

Thanks :)

Use "root unlock" for rooting ur device.. Simply download root unlock exe file by serching on google.. And install it.

Turn on usb debugging on ur cell phone.

Then connect ur phone on pc.

Then open root unlock.

Simply click on the root button then select your device and wait for few minute.. Until process done. :)

OTA and Knox 0x1

I have purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and I plan on rooting it. Unfortunately the only root available for the device will trop KNOX Warranty Void (which I don't care about too much since I purchased an extended warranty / ADH through a 3rd party anyway). My question is though: Will I still be able to receive OTA updates (including the Android L update in the future) without any issues? One thread on here seemed to imply that once KNOX had been tripped it is impossible to take any future official Samsung OTA updates or even flash future updates with ODIN. Essentially, I would be stuck at the factory installed version of Android forever. Another thread stated exactly the opposite and that OTA updates will still work as usual. Can anyone tell me which one is true?
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Do you want a rooted device you can modify, or do you want stock?

Make a choice and move on.

With rooted, you will have the newest versions WAY before Samsung pushes them out. They are notoriously slow pushing out updates.

Or there is stock.

Have fun with that.

system tweaks for Kitkat (Sound increase etc)

Hi, I am not an expert with Android system, but with my limited knowledge I can manage things.

Until now I was using STweaks app to tweak the phone hardware specially sound loudness etc.

Since now I have upgraded the phone to CM11 (Custom Rom) with CWM recovery kernel, I can't use the app which is incompatible with this kernel.

I just want to know....

I went to a Tech-Store yesterday.

There were two Galaxy S5's.

In Burstshot mode:

One of them can take 30 Photos in a Row, the other one can take 1000!

But whý? Why is it like that?

Are that

Two Different Models?

Ore Different Camera Settings? Because someone in my class has got the Galaxy S5 with 30 Burst shots/second. She plays very often with her Burst mode. But she'd like more Burst Photos in a Row! (and the S4's Camera UI with the Big Cute Shutter Buttons)

What i tried (didn't work!):

-Resolution Adjustment

-Switching off Some Features like Image Stabilisation, Speech-Shutter and so on...

So in other words, if I root I will no longer be able to use stock firmwares but will be able to freely upgrade/downgrade with custom rooted firmwares?
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
More or less, yes.

You will still have stock firmware, but not a stock ROM, and you won't get OTAs anymore, but you won't need them.

With custom ROMs, you will have the newest versions way before your carrier pushes them out.
[General Questions and Answers] gfifer1:
Okay, makes sense. One more question: Where would I get/find updates for my tablet once I root it then since I won't get OTA from Google/Samsung anymore?

[General Questions and Answers] Shawn R:
You know you can completely screw up your phone messing around with ROMs. I certainly learned my lesson, lol.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
That's because you probably didn't follow the instructions properly, or tried to do stuff with modding the ROM that you were under qualified to do without asking for advice, or reading up and understanding what you are doing.

I've been flashing custom ROMs for five years, and the only time I had a problem was trying to flash a kernel I shouldn't have without doing the proper research (reading, asking questions, understanding).

Flashing ROMs really is as safe as can be. You just can't/shouldn't try doing mods until you really know how to do it.

PLUS!!! ALWAYS DO A BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING ANY ROMS OR MODS!!! (<-----super important). That way if you run into issues, you can go back to exactly what you had before the flash.

My LG is messed up, need help!

Hi,

First, sorry for posting this into a general thread, but I'm in a hurry and I need to find help asap! I have an LG L Fino D290n with 4.4.2, kernel 3.4.0+. I've rooted my phone with PurpleDrake a few weeks ago and removed some system application. Everything was working fine until today when my mobile network stopped working. Then the "home" and "multitasking" buttons were not responsive. I've tried to factory reset the phone and wipe everything but had no luck even after that. I've tried another sim - nothing. When I go into Settings > About > Software Version, my phone stucks Battery usage says Cell Service 80%, so I guess it is constantly searching for a network?.

I need to, find a way to flash a stock rom, I've searched the whole internet but I had no luck finding one for the Fino. Is there another solution to try? What tools do I need to use? Can I flash a ROM from a different phone model, or should I say goodbye to my phone?

THanks

How is it possible to get into the S820 bootloader?

[General Questions and Answers] hnkotnis:
It happens when you flash wrong firmwares.

If phone does not boot into download mode by Power+Volume down+Home key combination, you may try making a USB Jig which will force the phone into download mode. If it goes to download mode flash CORRECT firmware by Odin/Heimdall.

Search Google/XDA how to make USB jig. It is made from standard OEM USB wire and few electronic resisters easily.

If USB Jig does not work, use JTAG device to bring your phone to life or take it to Samsung Care. If you go to Samsung care, pretend you don't know what happened so you will get warranty.

I have a crappy icoo d50 which the kids play on it crashes at random takes minutes to respond and has trouble with the sd card reading and writing, Question is if I have the stock rom can I extract all the drivers and insert them into say kitkat? I have looked around and can't find a premade rom so this is a last resort I know its a little advanced but I normally stick to something until its done so even if it takes a year i'd get it done in the end.

I have no idea what you are talking about here.

Also, those aren't errors. That was what you asked at first.

You wanted a "patch" for rom and errors.

It probably has something to do with a bad translation to English.
