How come [MENTION=1828342]Faryaab[/MENTION]'s leak thread was locked? What is pending action?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Faryaab:
It's getting cleaned up.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Theshawty:
One thing I don't get. We ask you a few questions and you either change the subject or don't answer at all? Why is it so hard telling us where this leak come from and why it can't be rooted? Two simple questions.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Faryaab:
Leaks are provided to us by our insiders.

Root cannot be achieved maybe due to some restriction in the kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Theshawty:
Ok. It's strange how people build up a huge amount of hype when something's announced but not here, and when it gets here, people immediately start calling it fake. Doesn't sounds that appreciative to me.

Like the bullcrap Samsung pulled on some newer i9500/i9505 firmwares? Anyways, is it something you could look into, you think?

Does anyone know how to install a recovery on the phone without a computer? I don't have access to a computer for a few days. I'm currently on stock recovery Btw. There was an app called xparts for the xperia series that auto installed CWM, is there a similar app for the S4?

Hello,

I want to buy the GS4 GoogleEdition, as I like to have good performance, easy upgrades and most importantly good battery life. However I want to change the function of the capacitive buttons. I want to have the back button left, multitasking button on the right, menu on long press right and google now on long press home. I liked the DSPManager and CLock Widget of CyanogenMod on my HTC One X, but both can be installed as an APK anyway, right? I liked CyanogenMod 10.1 on my HTC One X, but it was not very stable and battery life was very bad.

So, which ROM or which MODs do you think are the best for my preferences?

Hall of Shame: Futuremark's 3DMark de-lists HTC and Samsung for cheating

Whenever any kind of a synthetic benchmark is involved, we find ourselves reiterating over and over that these results should be taken with caution, and certainly in the context of a controlled environment. And while this latter quality allows for standardized testing to take place, it's also inherently predictable, meaning that manufacturers could rig the procedure.

Such cases are common in the PC arena, and they obviously have spread to the mobile space, with numerous manufacturers downright cheating, despite their disappointing denials. For a while now, we simply thought that the marketing geniuses at these companies apparently consider the extra sales from the perceived performance edge over rivals to be sufficient to outweigh the effects of a negative press. If that's indeed the case, those people may want to reconsider, as Futuremark, the company behind the hugely-popular 3DMark benchmark, have now officially de-listed and shamed a number of Samsung and HTC devices as cheats. These include the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 and Galaxy Note 3, both the Exynos and Snapdragon variants, along with the HTC One and One mini.

Word from site:

“People rely on Futuremark benchmarks to produce accurate and unbiased results. That’s why we have clear rules for hardware manufacturers and software developers that specify how a platform can interact with our benchmark software,” said Futuremark President Oliver Baltuch. “In simple terms, a device must run our benchmarks without modification as if they were any other application.”​

Finally got around to registering an account after frequenting this site for a couple of years now.

Started modding originally with a Sony X10a which went through hundreds of roms until it "blew up" and refused to ever boot again.

Then had a GT-i9100 which had much of the same treatment...it's now retired in my office drawers as a backup.

Finally got an upgrade and running a GT-i9505 w/ a 4.4 rom.

I have tried backing up the contacts with a random app on the Marketplace, but I end up with a ton of duplicates.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhizzWr:
Hi, new to HTC here

So I plan to get a HTC One and debranding will bethe first thing I'm gonna do. I've been searching though XDA and Google.

I understand the S-off can be achieved using RevOne's method, and if my device is S-offe I can change it to other (Super)CID

I've got few things I'm not really sure though:

1. Does Revone method (and the whole debranding process) require unlocked bootloader, I wish to remain vanilla if possible

2. Do I have to use SuperCID? can I used other CID? I need CID/RUU containing my native language.

2. After changing CID do I need to flash new RUU or can I just wait for the OTA to arrive and replaced my branded FW?

Well.. at the very least, I will appreciate if anyone can point me where to start. :)

I have somewhat read through the RevOne and SuperCID threads.. but testimony from those with success would be invaluable. :D

EDIT: did more research.. so should anyone be interested:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rubman:
Hi Don't know what your native language is, but if it's Dutch I just debranded my HTC One from T-Mobile and received the latest OTA in the Netherlands.

I wrote a tutorial for it on a Dutch forum.

to put it simple

I S-OFFed an unlocked via Revo method

Changed CID to HTC__001 (need to find the best CID for your country)

Ran the proper RUU

Received OTA

You can then proceed to lock the bootloader again with revo method (won't show tampering and stuff)

and even go S-ON again if you want. (I didn't)

This shall give you a vanilla HTC One without branding that shall receive OTA's directly from HTC.

No worry, HTC CID Lists are everywhere on Google (I'd like to use the HTC SEA CID for what it's worth).

I see, I also have received confirmation RevOne can be done without unlocking bootloader.

While I generally understand the debrand process I think it'll be handy to also have your tutorial. Can I get a link?

Don't speak Dutch, but I think Gtranslate will do, hehe.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cimourdain:
Thank you for your answer.

I just have one last question about the impact of the wipes from CWM.

I don't understand which rom will be impacted my the "wipe data/factory reset" from CWM, the NAND rom? the SD? both?

Is there a solution only to wipe the NAND rom and not to touch my SD rom?

thank you again for your help,
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zokisvasta:
I don't feel qualified to talk about this, but here's my understanding. CWM will only mess with your phone storage and remove everything there. The SD rom will stay on your SD card (unless you formated or partitioned that too), so as long as you have magldr set to boot from SD it'll boot the rom you want with nand being gone.

All I know is that if I were in your position, I'd wipe everything, both the card and phone, and just put the rom back again on SD. You can't miss with that. Make sure you backup the stuff you want from your card before you format it, should you decide to do so.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
The wipe data/factory reset option will wipe the ROM on your NAND and your SD EXT partition but shouldn't affect your SD ROM. If you're worried then just backup your data.img from your SD ROM to your PC before wiping.

However, I've been having to stop the page from loading then hit the refresh to load the page - if I don't do this the page may never load. I have juice defender pro running, but, makes no difference if I disable it. Just wondering whether any one else is having the same issue. Not sure if upgrading to version 4.75 will help.
