[About XDA developers] Peter Poelman:
It is a sad day for this community.

In a series of mishaps and mistakes, best characterized as the sysadmin equivalent of a perfect storm, we lost more than 3 weeks of our database.

It all started when we decided to move posts to a whole new system of forums. In that process we screwed up. But we had made a backup just before, so we decided to go back to that, dropping the screwed-up database. Then it turned out that the most recent backup we made was truncated bacause of a memory limit, so it was unuseable.

This dropped us back to an older backup, which in this case was Over three weeks old!!!

This means that we lost:

All forum postings since October 4th

All new member registrations since October 4th

Records of donations since October 4th (this is recoverable...)

All News items (recoverable too)

If you have any important postings still on disk, in browser cache, or anywhere else, we'd like you to repost them.

Re-working the forum structure will still hapen, sometime later today, and without any further dramatic losses.

I apologize for this event, and we'll work even harder to make sure something like this will never happen again.

[Nexus 4 General] TheDroidKid:
Hey Guys,

I recently searched the forms and have noticed that some users were asking for extended Emoji support for Android. While this is currently a work in progress, so far this feature has been successfully executed on the Google Nexus 4. Although the process might be streamlined onto other Nexus devices, I have currently only tested this on the Nexus 4. I am also looking to see how this can be ported to other Android devices.

NOTE: This guide dose not require a custom ROM, Rooting or a third party SMS cleint.

There are a few set backs.

1. All emojis are black and white

2. I have found a few are missing. You will see in my screen shot. It is really only a few.

3. You need to quickly switch between keyboards (it is not as much of a pain as you think, follow the screen shots) I have gotten use to it quickly.

- Mods I am not trying to promote my Website, I simply just didn't want to upload all the screen shots for the how to guide on here. I want to post it here so I can help users and get feed back.

Visit the link below for a complete how to guide:

Link 1 or Mirror

Feel free to post question and any other concerns in this thread. Enjoy :)

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] payh0ta:
So I discovered today that when you remove the HTC Lock Screen apk in /system/apps the lockscreen becomes the default Jellybean lockscreen. This is great, as it gives you quick access to the camera and Google Now without having to put them into your dock. Plus I just like it more ;)

The only problem is that when a call comes through, it doesn't show on the lock screen. You have to unlock the phone before you can see who is calling. Personally I find this a little annoying although I'm willing to live with it. I'm not even sure what that package is that controls this, does anyone have any clue how I can remove the Sense way of answering and replace it with another?

Thanks in advance! :highfive:

I have searched all over the forums but I can't figure out how to flash the kernel that disables the system write protection. I found a thread with downloads for the kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2230341) but I have never flashed a kernel and the instructions weren't too clear. It would be great if I could get step by step instructions or a how to video on how to make the init.d script and load it in order to flash the kernel.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] antoniodz95:
Alrighty, so I dropped my phone in water 2 weeks ago, immediately took out the battery, riced it for 2 1/2 days, and used it. It was working perfectly except for the volume rocker was working only for pressing it down. Now today, I wake up, go to school, and while walking my screen won't go on, it'll just act like the backlight is on but the led for the buttons on the bottom will come up. I pulled the battery, then restarted it, screen worked, but once I locked the screen, the screen stayed black. I get home, plug it in, and put into cmd "adb devices" and it pops up. So I try "adb reboot recovery" to just wipe and reflash hoping that'd fix stuff, but it hangs on "adb reboot recovery". The CMD doesn't move an inch, and I am not put into recovery. I am S-OFF via Revolutionary, and no HTC Dev unlock crap. If anyone could help me, I'd love you. I'm due for an upgrade with Verizon June 2014 and can not be without my phone due to business reasons. Also, any suggestions on phones to get when I get my upgrade? :good:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brymaster5000:
try: adb fastboot reboot recovery
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] antoniodz95:
When I do that it basically is saying that fastboot isn't there. I typed just adb fastboot and it did nothing. I did adb fastboot reboot recovery and still nothing..

*EDIT*

I ran fastboot reboot-bootloader so I could get into recovery like that and it hangs on "< Waiting for device >"

What about volume down and power button?

Sent from my BrYCS'd Viperdinc.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] antoniodz95:
When I power and vol down, it turns onto the HTC screen, then it turns off. Then once I let go of the keys it just regularly attempts to boot it.

I honestly wish I knew what was wrong with my phone. I've been missing phone calls and whatnot due to this error. I hope this can be fixed!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobrainer0:
So I saw a tutorial on youtube on how to get Jelly Bean on the LG Phoenix and I did all the steps correctly. I rooted the phone, then I downloaded Clockworkmod Recovery and then downloaded the file that runs Cyanogenmod. Eventually, i found that I could not connect to any service and I could not connect to my carrier and call and text and ****. I know it has something to do with the baseband. If anyone could tell me how to fix this, thank you soo so so very much.

So now I really want to uninstall Cyanogenmod. I tried using the backup on the Clockworkmod but I already used it later on while I had Jelly Bean so theres no way to go back to Froyo that way. I tried deleting the files in my SD Card. Didnt do anything. So then I unrooted it. Still didnt do anything. I reset my phone sooooo many times like 10 times and still has Cyanogenmod. I tried uninstalling Clockworkmod and using the buttons "POWER, VOL UP, HOME" to restart it but I dont know how to uninstall Clockworkmod. But the main idea is, how can I uninstall Cyanogenmod or at least get it to work with my carrier?

Thanks :D

P.S. My version of Android is at Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gautam Padirooted:
to go back to your old rom try restoring nandroid if u ever made one.

if not search for your old baseband( btw i dont think u needed to change your baseband) and flash it through cwm

otherwise try getting a factory image to restore your phone to factory state. i dont know what it is actually called for lg phones

[MENTION=830797]ckpv5[/MENTION] : Is it technically possible to create a Sense 5 skin for stock DX (running JB)?

Your skin TheEpiphany 4+ works perfect on my stock DX but I wonder if adding Sense 5 icons in it would work...
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
App icons cannot be added to skins. Each icon needs to be added to each app. At least for sense Rom. Although if you use a custom launcher like nova or apex, then there are sense v5 icon themes
[HTC Desire X] Delta-flasher:
I knew about icons in alternative launchers... I was just wondering for Rosie.

Hi,

i installed "Breathless"-Skin from the first page. I hope i got the right rom on my device. Its the lates firmware released from htc without any modifications or root.

The skin works but to be honest i dont like it, so i want to delete it :D .
[HTC Desire X] ckpv5:
First you said something and now a different thing :eek:

Any skins you downloaded from any thread in XDA, you can't uninstall it when your ROM is unrooted. You can only do a factory reset and lose all data.

Also you can't uninstall any skin downloaded from Play Store with the phone uninstall function but you can uninstall using the Play Store uninstall feature.
[HTC Desire X] Reja87:
Hi,

no i thought that the skin would behave like an App so i can uninstall it via the normal function. With "working" i mean i can apply the skin via the theme-picker from sense.

Ok its sad, but then i have to live with the skin on my phone :D . Thx for the info!
[HTC Desire X] ckpv5:
No choice without root.

HTC removed the skin uninstaller from personalize since Sense 4.1, Sense 4.0 and below are ok. Not only that, since Sense 4.1, HTC implemented some codes that skins can't be installed on various devices but only skin that specific to that device. Not like in Sense 4.0 and below you can install any skin from any device.
[HTC Desire X] Delta-flasher:
[MENTION=830797]ckpv5[/MENTION] : is it possible?
[HTC Desire X] ckpv5:
You can do it on your own. Just take lockscreen_ring.png from other skin that you like and drag to res/drawable-hdpi of the skin that you want to mod then sign the apk.

I can't do this now as I'm busy with other project.

Sent from my HTC Desire X
[HTC Desire X] ckpv5:
It's best to redo it all again.

Reason is you need to decompile the ICS one then recompile it with new API level for JB compatibility. Also change its AndroidManifest.xml and only maybe 70% files from ICS that you can use in JB skin.

So it is best to redo based on a JB skin.. and replace with you files that you made for ICS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevinrubio1:
So I got my s4 about a week ago and my brother did too. So I started noticing some things my phone did but he's didn't.

Two major things that concerned me.

Overheating and the battery life.

I don't understand either of them because I copied his whole phone to test if it would get better. I copied every setting, even his wallpaper, but no difference. His battery life is greater than mine some how. Mine battery life never touches the 3 hour mark (how long the display was on).

And mine over heats and his doesn't. I'm really confused. The only major difference about his phone and mine, is that I have more apps installed. That's about it. How can i improve my battery? And what Bloatware is safe to uninstall?
