To be clear I read somewhere on Google+, google mentioned Galaxy S3 as Android-based phone and N4 as Android.

So, OEM skin is actually Android-based OS and Vanilla Android is Android OS.

Who cares about fragmentation. Most android users have never even heard of key lime pie. Most users are not even on 4.2.2. Bring on new versions. The only people that care are nexus users
[Nexus 4 General] aimcr7:
Don't forget xda users and geeks.
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
I agree,many android users I know use anything between froyo and ICS, they have no idea about newer versions or even what the deserts mean, so fragmentation is irrelevant to them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheArtiszan:
Was just wondering if there is a way to replace the framework with just using root without a custom recovery for the stock Rom?

On my s3 I couldn't do it with just root don't know if that would work on this or if I might have missed something.

re: install apks

All you need is to be rooted, it does not matter if you have custom recovery or not.

You can install any apk's since you do not need to go into recovery to install apks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheArtiszan:
When I tried with root only before on a different phone I used root explorer to replace.

But when I went to paste it in the folder the phone locked up and rebooted.

Was that not the right way to do it?

Maybe using adb terminal would be better and not cause it to lock and reboot when I paste over the existing framework-res.apk.

Being in the system directory causes some issue with being that is also a constant used file.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: install apk

The framework-res.apk should be installed like any other app

unless the OP of wherever you got it from gives instructions

to "copy" it to the /system/app folder.

Why not do it the default normal way? just double click on it

when you are in root explorer and it should install like any

other app. If it gives an error, then you can copy it.

If you "copy" it you have to fix permissions and you have to

change the attributes of the /system/app folder so it's "read and write".

NOTE: if there is an existing framework-res-apk in /system/app

delete it with root explorer before doing any of the above.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Framework-Res.apk must reside in system directory. /system/framework to be exact.

Easiest way to do it without locking up is with adb.

You were right OP that it locks up because it's consistently being used. When I make my mods and such to the framework, this is how I quickly get it to the device.

adb remount (if the kernel supports it in other words, anything but stock)

Turn phone screen on

Adb shell stop (your phone should now have a black screen. This command stops all running threads except the one for adb)

Adb push framework-Res.apk /system/framework

Adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-Res.apk

Adb shell start

You should now see the boot animation then the prompt "android is upgrading"

If you do not have adb remount option (it returns with permission denied)

Copy new framework Res apk to root of internal sd card.

Adb shell stop

Adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system

Adb shell cp /sdcard/framework-Res.apk /system/framework/framework-Res.apk

Adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-Res.apk

Adb shell start

Just a pointer, disregard my capitalization. Only capitalize when needed.

This method should get everything copied successfully. Any issues just post back!

Oh thank you very much.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jakeinator21:
Not sure if this is really relevant but...

When I had the samsung vibrant, I used root explorer to make a copy of my framework-res.apk. I extracted the entire thing, found my battery icon files, replaced them with different images given the same name, then repacked the file. Then I copied it back to the original folder to replace the original apk and my phone immediately shut off and rebooted. When it came back I had my new battery icon working just as I had hoped. I was rooted running stock.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xXchrizhurtyXx:
That could be a possibility. I just downloaded the app to see if I could download it and it worked on Touchwiz
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshua.justice:
I'm thinking that's what it is, which seems odd to me. I've never heard of an app doing something like this. I'm glad I back up my phone enough but I'm sad to have to forfeit some features of cyanogen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xXchrizhurtyXx:
Why not backup your cyanogen and flash one of your older touch wiz backups. If it still doesn't work then you can always go back to your cyanogen backup and you won't need to re setup everything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshua.justice:
I just backed up cyan today, I just can't remember if I have a stock back up, (I switched between CWM and TWRP). So I'm trying to find a stock ROM that has WiFi calling.

I'm pretty sure all touch wiz roms we have so far in these forums have wifi calling.

I have changed my mp3 to wav and put them in windows/rings folder but I can't select them as my ringtone. Anything wrong?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Bebbo:
You may still need to run the "Add Ring Tone" application to get them to be recognised (Found under Settings -> System).
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] wilesd:
Doing it this way uses loads of storage as WAV's are sooooo much bigger, if you convert your MP3's to WMA format and pop them on your storage card you can then just hold stylus down on the WMA and bingo you'll see on the pop up menu is an option to "set as ringtone" .

ignore the bandwagon set who love to hate microsoft, in the real world everyone who nows anything about digital media will confirm that bitrate for bitrate WMA's are the best quality.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] benzothegreat:
What i do is convert to WMA, and copy it to the \windows\rings directory (this should already exist). It will then appear in your list of ringtones (really easy way for setting up different ringtones for different people).

I also added a 'ringtone' (sound file) for when smses get received. Save it as a .WAV file and copy it to \windows, and it will appear in your 'sounds' list.

Anyone else seeing this type of battery life?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
That tells us very little. Please show processor speed charts, screen on time, and deep sleep percentage. That will allow people to get an idea of your usage. If that time included a couple hours of gaming I'd say you're doing fine. If it was complete idle, you have a rogue app.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] chief714:
Sorry guys.

I'm still somewhat .... new to all of the stats. I try to read as much as I can but got a few babies running around so it makes it a little difficult.

Although when I took the screenshot I was only in one bar, but all day I was out in graduation for my daughter. It was pretty hot outside which was frying my phone as well as my face four about 3 hours.

I am on first flash for the ROM. I was trying to personalize everything in regards to aesthetics and my phone was just majorly over heating. I went from 60% to about 30% in about 20 minutes.

I guess I can toss all apps and take it one at a time.

Thanks for chiming in tho. I do appreciate any help I can get

Just got a a used Droid X2 and accidentally updated to 2.3.5/1.3.418 now trying to follow these instructions and root it:

[How To] Root DX2 2.3.5/1.3.418 magic md5 method

I installed MotorolaDeviceManager_2.3.9.exe from here:

MY MOTO CARE

Hooked-up the phone which was factory reset, set 'USB debugging', and ran the batch files trying USB connection in both 'PC Mode' & 'Charge Only' and keep getting these errors:

error: more than one device and emulator
error: device offline

The batch stops at '---Reboot Bootloader---' and nothing happens. I've tried following the instructions to hold volume up while turning off and on, but the phone just hangs at 'Starting RSD protocol support' and the batch stops at '< waiting for device >'.

I've even tried uninstalling and re-installing the Motorola drivers and going through everything again, but no change. Any help?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] jhsu888:
I just downgraded to Android version 2.3.4/1.3.380 with RSDLite and tried the VooDoo method, but Pete's Motorola Root Tools failed.

The Root Tools program was able to detect the device initially, but none of the commands seemed to have any effect and when it tried to reboot the device nothing happened; it goes through the rest of the steps and then indicates that it failed.

I'm running Windows 7 and even tried a system restore then re-installing the drivers, but no change. When I check the device manager there are no unknown devices or anything like that.
[Motorola Droid X2] jhsu888:
Got it!

Finally tracked down the solution to the error 'more than one device and emulator'

Had to use adb.exe that came in Pete's Root Tools to run the command 'kill-server' in the command window:

adb.exe kill-server

When I checked

adb.exe devices

initially there were multiple devices listed, somehow the phone was not disengaging when I was plugging and unplugging it. Running kill-server reset the list so that running the root application could finally identify the phone correctly.

If anybody knows why this was happening and how to prevent it please let me know.

Now I can finally go on to flashing a ROM!
[Motorola Droid X2] DQEight:
Let me know what rom you stick with, I just ordered one 4 days ago and should be getting it today. I'm torn between eclipse(on gingerbread) and Cyanogenmod 10(jelly bean) (i want to be able to call, text and use data reliably, and I like being on the newest version of stuff)
[Motorola Droid X2] jhsu888:
I actually haven't bothered trying CM10, after I got everything running smooth with Eclipse I just left it at that. I can say that I haven't run into a single issue with Eclipse and I've been using it pretty heavily installing/uninstalling apps and trying all the components including the camera, wifi, led lights, sms and calling - all working solid.

A little off topic, but I also installed a home launcher app and after trying GO Launcher and Holo, I found ADW to have the easiest way for me to manage all the apps in groups and still be highly customizable. GO launcher I found buggy and Holo looked great out of the box, but felt a little limited.

I would also suggest getting the Widget Locker app, it's paid, but worth it to be able to customize the lock screen and get to things like the camera, flashlight, dialer etc quickly from the lock screen. I tried a few of the free ones for that and they were buggy or gave me a flash of the old lock screen, Widget Locker works pretty seamlessly.

Enjoy it!
[Motorola Droid X2] Juice3250:
I am a first owner DX2 owner running CM7. Most of the original owners have all moved on and upgraded. I am waiting until my contract ends to ditch VZW and go to prepaid to save money. But I digress.

You have to be on 2.3.4 to install CM7. This is by far my favorite rom, second to eclipse. It is faster and smoother than eclipse. Eclipse starts to slow down over time.

CM10 also has to be installed from 2.3.4. It's fun to play around with, but at the end of day it is too glitchy and not functionable enough due to the bootloader being locked. So in my opinion, it's best to stick with the gb roms.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
Cm9 wasn't too bad. Its quite a bit more stable then cm10 and now that time has past more apps actually work on it. Give it a try and see how you like it. I couldn't stand the delayed text issue that appears on cm7
[Sony Xperia ZL] ben182tx:
I used to mod phones alot back in the day, but switched over to iPhones...recently though I got a job at a regional carrier called Cincinnati Bell and they give me android phones like candy.

I've been using the ZL alot, but I really just want it stock android because the Sony junk just makes the phone laggy...

So my question/statement is: I have been so not in the game, I can not seem to find or figure out which ROM is a stock android one, or even if there is one....?

Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction?
[Sony Xperia ZL] R4GE199:
IF you want pure stock android experience then you can install cyanogenmod 10.1(recommended). Download the latest nightly from : http://get.cm/?device=odin

It is pretty stable

Or

for stock rom with some modifications, you can try aokp rom : http://aokp.co/devices/odin

or PAC rom : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2228436

UGH!!! so after reading on how to unlock my bootloader...apparently I have one that does not allow the bootloader to be unlocked...so i guess i cant flash anything.
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
Boo! You can't get someone at work to fix that for you?

You can still root the stock firmware and debloat it. I find mine to be pretty stable and using some substitutions for apps it's very usable and smooth:

Nova Launcher (the Sony launcher IMO is laggy and makes the whole phone feel slow, Nova is smooth)

SwiftKey (the Sony keyboard is lacking, you could also try the JB stock keyboard in the app store)

Using TitaniumBackup, I froze the following:

com.sonyericsson.unplugchargerreminder (why do I need to know that unplugging the charger while the phone is NOT fully charged would save energy? it's stupid)

WALKMAN

Xperia Social Engine Photos

Xperia Social Engine Sharing 3.0.A.2.7 (Twitter sharing plugin)

Xperia Social Engine Sharing 3.0.A.2.8 (Facebook sharing plugin)

Xperia with Facebook

Xperia with Twitter

I then deleted all the bloatware, either through Nova or Titanium Backup if they were system apps. These are the ones I remember, but there were more:

McAfee

Sony Reader

Music Unlimited

TrackID

Google Play Magazines (Google bloat but still not needed)

Google Play Movies

The Camera app is ok, it looks like in the latest version on 4.2.2 it remembers your mode setting, so if you were in Normal mode and relaunch, it will sometimes come back to Normal mode. I have Camera Zoom Fx but I still use the Sony Camera most of the time.

The Gallery app is not my favorite, but I was able to install the JB gallery, albeit it is missing the Picasa Album integration. The Picasa album feature on the Sony app sucks, but I can use Google+ to pull my Picasa images easily.

I haven't spent the time to disable throw, which I don't use, but I don't think it's using up much resources.

The lock screen is annoying me a bit, and that's the next thing I will look into replacing.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ben182tx:
Well, i rooted the phone...and went to delete the SIMLOCK APK ... which what i figured controlled the SIM being locked to my network, however...it seems to have made the phone not read any sim cards now lol

I have since taken it to work and swapped it with a new one.

No one at my work knows anything about rooting/dev stuff oddly enough haha
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
haha yeah, don't do that. Do you also want to unlock the SIM lock? Easy, just pop in a foreign SIM and get a SIM unlock code from your employer :P

Hmm that sucks. I haven't heard of anyone being able to unlock the bootloader on a carrier branded phone, so I wouldn't be surprised if no coworker knows about this. It was probably a package deal from Sony. Do you want the restrictive package or the freedom package for your customers? Cincinnati Bell went with the first option I bet.

Which model do they sell? Is it the C6506?
[Sony Xperia ZL] ben182tx:
Cincinnati Bell doesnt/wont unlock any phone that is locked to our network...period. Not even for employees.

The model we have is the one that can use T-Mobile HSPA+ and AT&T HSPA+
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
Oh well. But if you still want to use the ZL with a more AOSP experience, look into just modifying the stock ROM and make it more AOSP. It's easy.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarekElsakka:
Yes, 0 and DL are the same directory, so if you delete anything from 0 it will be deleted from DL, and vice versa. I am not sure what is taking so much space on your device, but have you checked the media folder where the 0 folder is? If there are other files inside the media folder, delete them. I'd recommend a full wipe of the device and reinstallation of ROM if you are not able to pin-point exactly what is using so much space.
