Ultimate noob-question alert

4 days ago I upgraded my xperia sp to official 4.3 j.b. (build in signature) to see what it's like. So far the overall user experience isn't too bad (despite some minor bugs, like the backlight was going on and off repeatadly, but it only happened 2-3 times), but the ui is too much.....white-y. Shall I worry about my display dying faster than it should (like in 2 years instead of 3, because I've heard that while kills pixels faster than any other color) or I'm just a fool? Note that the phone is 8 months old.

On the xda app, why doesn't it show all my posts on profile ? It shows part of them then no more. On forum part i can look at some then it shows more when i get to the end but not on someone's profile posts
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
If you have a theme installed, uninstall it, then update or re-install the new version that came out in the last few days. Then you can put your theme back on.

Others had a similar issue, maybe it can fix yours too.

Chinese android fake Kitkat

I recently purchased a Chinese clone of the note III known as the Star(I think its Star at least) N9800C (the number I am sure of). I enjoyed the jellybean operating system for a time but certain apps would crash upon starting every single time and were unusable. I did research on the problem and all suggestions said "probably due to an incompatibility with KitKat." This confused me as I am certain it is jelly bean. I go to my phone information screen, and to my surprise find the android version to be 4.4 Kitkat. I know that it is in fact jellybean because of the familiar UI as well as the fact that upon restarting the phone shows the jelly bean splash screen! Now, certain apps wont work because the rom is showing up as Kitkat when it is jellybean. I tried flashing a recovery so that i could install a stock jellybean or kitkat rom but because of the ROM claiming to be both, I was unsuccessful. Please help. Btw I am somewhat knowledgeable but am in no means an expert.

Yes it does matter. Of course Odin doesn't work. It isn't a Samsung. And I would imagine the firmware from a Samsung website won't help much either. Be careful taking advice from n00bs. Join date a month ago, 50ish posts? Wait for someone more credible.

Orrrr......you could try using Google. I got a couple of hits for your model. Maybe try to get root using Framaroot, and then look for compatible ROMs. Sorry I can't really help you better. I am totally unfamiliar about your device.

Hey does anyone know of a way to get a T999 to record video at 120fps? Looking to get some good slow-mo shots.
[General Questions and Answers] Zyquil:
Hello, firstly if this shouldn't be here, do tell.

I have a installed a game by EA called Real Racing 3. The description of the game on Google Play states that I must have at least 1.5GB of free storage before installing. With that aside, I do have and have installed anyway. After downloading all the game files from within the game, it totaled to a whooping 2.30GB. Now I'm wondering, how did other people's installation with regards to amount of data go.

I was wondering what will happen if you cut one of the two wires (D +/-) and left the other one connected... Will the whole thing fail to transmit data or will it transmit some data and the rest is lost..

Also will the phone identify the cable as otg and stop charging or not.. Thanks ￼

Obviously that is a closed circuit !!! And what is meant by "Transmit some data and some is lost" ??? Data is transfered in binary form. And it is not distributed half in one wire and other half in the othe wire :p

specify what is the purpose of you doing so, We may will then be able to help you :)

Well there is a sport I do called Belegarth.

http://www.belegarth.com

I have been wanting to snag some good video, slow-mo if possible, without having to go spend a hundred bucks on a go-pro. I figured it would be pretty cool if I could upload battles in 120fps or at least something that looks like it. I've tried doing it on my phone and slowing it down with KineMaster but you can still see a bit of choppiness. Here is a quote I pulled from another thread:

"Well my s4 active didn't support this feature and I was devastated. But upon searching about it, I knew that s4 active had the same exact 8 megapixel shooter as of the note 2 and s3. There were threads suggesting that the slow motion capabilities of note 2. (Yes, note 2 supports slow motion 1/2 1/4 and 1/8) can be ported to s3. And I've seen people do this and it supports the slow motion capabilities smoothly after the port."

I also found a HyperX ROM that claims it has those abilities as well, however all download links seem to be broken.

lg unify stock rom

[General Questions and Answers] soma4society:
I did downward a gapps package. It's on my phone, but I can't access it. It says "no program can read this file." When I try to go to recovery to install it there, I get stuck in a fastboot screen that says "fastboot mode started"...but then it just hangs there. Shouldn't I still be able to boot into TWRP recovery like I could before flashing?
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
Yes, you should be able to unless you messed up your recovery somehow. If you don't have 4 way power menu where you can choose recovery reboot, just power down and when you power up, do your devices button presses to get into recovery. I believe it's power+vol down if I remember correctly. Flash (install) gapps from there.

Well I am very new at this so I could've mucked it up. But I used BUMP and flashed TWRP via Flashify....(Flashify seemed to do all the work for me, actually).

Try what [MENTION=5981373]thenookieforlife3[/MENTION] suggested a couple posts ago. Using terminal emulator.

I downloaded it, granted super user access, then pressed install. Now it says "processing data from server" ....seems to be taking a bit. Sound like I'm on the right road though?
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
seems like something beyond recovery is messed up, but you should be able to run these commands ffrom terminal emulator to install twrp. make sure your recovery is named recovery.img

su
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
reboot recovery
[General Questions and Answers] soma4society:
Thank you. I went through the steps but when I typed in "adb reboot recovery" it responded with "device not recognized."

(Also, not sure if I did this right but I changed the BUMP file I originally downloaded that first gave me a custom recovery to "recovery.img"...hope that was right.)

Thanks again for your, and everyone's, help...
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
yes that was right.

something other than recovery is surely wrong. even if the codes had not worked, the recovery command should have.

im not sure what to tell you at this point.

just guessing, flashify put something where it didnt belong, thats why i prefer not to use it.
[General Questions and Answers] markfm:
The no device part is likely due to a driver issue on your PC. There are multiple sets of g3 drivers floating around, which can conflict with each other.

Do you have terminal emulator on your phone? If you do, follow the set of commands that bweN provided earlier, in terminal emulator. The lines you want to use are:

su

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

reboot recovery

An su line, 2 DD lines, then the command to reboot.

HTH!

[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Try this.

Install TWRP Manager from the Play Store.

Open up the three line menu thingy in the top left and choose "install TWRP". Enter your device name (nexus 5). pick "recovery version to install". Choose one, then click on "install recovery".

I always use TWRP Manger to update my recovery. It is absolutely the easiest way, and may help you with your issue.

EDIT: It has come to my attention that you don't have the playstore installed on your phone. You can download the TWRP Manager apk from here instead.

I hope it works for you. Good luck!

If you want to take the ota, you will have to go back to your stock ROM plus stock recovery. But of course you don't need to take that route. What device do you own?
