[HTC Amaze 4G] bullsfan33:
Downloading update now. I was having one or two reboots a day with last update. I will let you know how this one runs.
[HTC Amaze 4G] takingflight005:
Is there, by any chance, a way that we could install just the kernel, so as to not have to reflash and re-set up all the GApps settings?
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
You don't need to wipe anything between updates except for dalvik and cache, so you shouldn't have to do all your settings again with each update.
[HTC Amaze 4G] takingflight005:
Last time I reflashed, it removed the Gapps, which jeepers said was normal. I'm just spoiled and don't want to have to set up my email labels/sounds again, haha.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
It removes Gapps? I know they're mostly installed in /system/apps, but that is weird.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
All ROMs format System before installing. Data stays, and it stores your system settings - so as long as you don't format /data, in this case, you should be fine.

You have to reflash GApps, because they also reside on system.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
I understand that, but it doesn't make sense that they're usually still there when you flash an update.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Gapps

If I'm not mistaken, I think Gapps are flashed to /data/app

We need to get these roms into aroma installers so the users can decide to full wipe or wipe just system and cache or no wipe at all (dirty flash)

Im going to set up a generic Aroma installer for all of us on the amaze. I just need a few days to get it done.

all you will need to do is drop your system folder in and do some minor editing to the updater-script to make sure symlinks and permissions are good.

Hey, I was curious if anyone is having trouble with random shutdowns. My phone will intermittently shutdown and it will have to be turned on completely. I is most likely something that I did incorrectly. It has been doing it since the June 8 Release, and I just clean installed the July 20 release and it is still happening. I was curious if anyone has any insight to this problem. I have everything on the ROM is the same, I have changed no settings. I have only installed a few apps...facebook, facebook messenger, banking. Thanks for any help.

-S2PDPYRO
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Just looked at the gapps updater script to be sure... It's all system/app.

Thanks for the aroma script. ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I did not experience that. Almost sounds like behavior of a failing battery...
[HTC Amaze 4G] s2pdpyro:
I was thinking the same thing because I haven't changed the battery since the time I have had it. However the phone sat in Recovery for an hour without any problems. I am going to see if another ROM will recreate this issue. I think this started happening when I flashed MIUI so I will try another one. I really hope it isn't the ROM I really like this one that is why I have been just dealing with it. Thanks for the response.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gk1984:
Anyone else have this? Almost every call I receive, the other person can't hear me and I can't hear the other person. When I make calls, everything is fine. The update sprint pushed a little bit ago 1.29.xx.10 seemed to make this problem worse for me. This was stock unrooted but currently rooted stock.

EDIT: I want to add that it isn't EVERY call I receive but most. Also, it takes 2-3 tries before it works.

Edit 2: Google Voice was the problem. Uninstalled then reinstalled and seems to have fixed it.

Why is it so important to have that specific firmware? It's not a problem to create a de-odexed (all stock firmwares are de-odexed per default), pre-rooted stock firmware. I could even remove bloatware if that's what you want. However I do not have the firmware that you want.

I decided to flash a new rom just now and me being the smart person I am, totally forgot to backup all my texts. Since I factory reset my phone before I flashed does that mean theres no way to recover the texts?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scottyh73:
So I just wanted to get some feedback if anyone else is having a similar issue as me or if I possibly have a defective device

I've noticed that very often my phone does not want to recognize my data connection. I have experienced this with every version of rom available to date. (minus jbean v2). For example about one out of every three times I load a Web page it will show page not available. Does not matter the website. If I reload it will take a second and work fine. This happens on 4g and wifi. Also my biggest peeve is that my favorite app is the chive, which if none of you have checked this site/app out you're missing out big time! In any case, the pictures almost never load. I have to relaunch the app multiple times to display the individual pics.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I am coming from a dna and I can't say any of this happened to me once a month, let alone multiple times a day. That ks in advance

Why HTC one doesn't use flash light for focusing in low light condition ad Galaxy S2,3 and 4?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinsfanbdh:
because it uses the mega pixel or whatever its called which lets 300% more light in no need for flashlight
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renton82:
Ok, but when there is no light...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
It still needs light. And the best and easiest way is to use the flash as a focus aid.

[Xperia Tablet Z General] robsquared:
Hopefully I'm posting this in the right area.

I know it's early but I'm hoping that someone is looking into porting a PACman ROM for the Xperia Tablet Z. I've seen online that the Xperia Z phone with the same processor got a PACman port, so hopefully its not to difficult to get it ported to this tablet. Already there's CM, AOKP, and probably AOSPA soon, I just hope it has the popularity to attract devs.

Poll to see who else is interested.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] iisshaun:
Yup I want it too. I want stock and a more up-to-date version of android, but I don't want to lose the Tablet UI if I went for CM10.1.

I am sure as the tablet ages a bit more there will be ParanoidAndroid, PACMan and others.

Everything! PAC is Paranoid Android, AOKP, and Cyanogenmod. All the cool features of the three Roms. :)

This is where you can come to get your stock S4 apps blacked out! The white background for MMS, contacts, calculator, etc are so bright, and annoying! Not to mention the fact that the S4 has a Super AMOLED display, which consumes a ton of power while using apps with white backgrounds. This is why i have done what i have. If you text a lot, this can help save some battery life, as black pixels take 0 power to display. This will now flash everything in one go (MMS, Contacts, Phone, and Calculator).

This should work on any deodex build (no word on the ME7 deodex yet). The main version is Verizon/Sprint and there's a separate T-Mobile version. I haven't had any reports about AT&T

PLEASE READ THE FAQ'S BELOW BEFORE FLASHING OR ASKING QUESTIONS :)

Downloads

Black it all out! 7/26/13

Black it all out revert :(

Black it all out T-Mobile! 7/28/13

Black it all out T-Mobile Revert :(!

Blacked Out Sprint MMS

Blacked out XDA! Please read the FAQ before flashing!

FAQ

Q: Can i flash these on any S4 ROM?

A: As long as the ROM is deodexed, then yes (no word on ME7). This MIGHT work on odex builds according to some reports.

Q: Will this wipe any data?

A: No since framework is not flashed, so there is no need to setup accounts again.

Q: Do i need to wipe caches before flashing?

A: No

Q: Can you also theme (random third party app)

A: Probably not because if i take one request, I will have to take them all :(

Q: What needs to be done before flashing XDA?

A: First you need to flash the main black out zip (unless you already have the newest version with the xda fix installed), then uninstall your xda app from your phone. You may now flash the zip.

Q: Why do i need to do the above to flash the XDA zip?

A: For some reason the flash to data/app/ (where user apps are installed) does not work. It will only work by flashing to system/app/. Once this is done you can always convert it back to a user app if you wish.

Q: Can i get just (insert app here) separate if i don't want the others blacked out?

A: To keep this clean, i won't make separate flashes for each zip. Open it on your computer and delete what ones you don't want.

Since some people seem to not read my post one page back, I'll restate things here. THIS IS DISCONTINUED. The reason being I don't have time to do multiple versions for multiple carriers. You can all thank the ota for causing this.

Change Log​

7/26/13

Blacked out MMS and Contacts some more

Added Calendar and Email (Email has some bugs!)

TWframework had to be added for the scroll bar in contacts. Let me know if this works for you all. I'm hoping this framework can be used universally.

Fixed Contacts grid view for favorites

7/28/13

Contacts fix for T-Mobile users

7/29/13

Fixed black text for Sprint MMS

Bugs or things you may need to know​

Email logging in is hard to see and the text labels for accounts can't be read. I think everyone is smart enough to know what icon is what, but you can always replace it if needed.

Any other bugs, let me know.

Some apk's such as Calendar may need to be renamed for some people. Check in System/app/ to see what it's called if the flash does not take and rename it in the zip accordingly.
