Okay so my halo is acting weird, i'm on Samsung Galaxy s2 t989 (t Mobile version) and the notifications work great on every app but my messaging app. it closes the app that's running in the background.

For example. i'm on browser and i get a halo notification from a text...i click on halo and it opens up the pop up app of messaging but it closes browser in the background and takes me to the main launcher.

Has this issue been addressed for my phone or is a Halo bug? thank you for whoever replies back
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mierkat09:
It's not an issue, it's just that if you click halo, it will go to whatever app that is shown. If you want to open it and leave the background app alone, take halo and drag it out. If you go to the paranoid android thread, there's a halo review, that will give you visual instructions.

Hi XDA Folks,

I am having trouble completing the one-click debloat process described in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2313341

and since I'm a new guy, I can't ask the OPer in the thread for advice/guidance... Maybe someone here can help??

I'm running a rooted Verizon S4 with Synergy ROM. I followed the procedure described by xrabbitfootx in post #28 of the above mentioned thread to edit and compile my own BAT file of bloatware I want to remove.

I have checked and double-checked that my BAT file is formatted according to his procedure.

When I run the BAT from my computer, as described in post #30, the terminal window shows it running, it completes, my phone reboots, and yet I'm still left with the bloatware that I started with.

Can anyone help pin down where I'm going wrong?

Also, it seems that in post #32 an alternate method is described by xrabbitfootx. Can anyone please tell me how to utilize the script from that post to remove bloat? Maybe that method will work where the BAT file method hasn't. I'm just not sure if I need to transfer that zip to my phone's memory or the sd card, and once it's there, how do I go about loading it? Should I be using CWM?

Thanks to the community for any help you can offer. I think I'm just a little too new at this to fully grasp all the initial steps that a more experienced user assumes we all know, and that must be taken before engaging in something like this.

Much appreciated!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bhp090808:
Id have to see your script. Pm it to me and id be happy to check it for you

BEAST......... that is all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] onearmsysiphus:
Hi bhp,

So maybe you were following your original thread where rf helped (with your script as the backbone) me get it to work??

In the end, it looks like it was some edit that I did to the zip file that was causing it to fail. I'm going to, as time permits, go back and check my altered script against yours and rf's and see where I goofed.

As of now, my phone is rooted, Synergy ROM'd, custom de-bloated and running great!! Thank you for all your help. I'll stick to your original thread with my attached script once I figure out where I went wrong.

thank you for all your help and hard work!!

Hey,

i just flashed (hope thats the right word) the TWRP recovery manager on it according to the instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277105

I already rooted it before and everything worked.

Now after i put TWRP on it, it just doesnt boot anymore and is stuck at the blue bootup screen.

What i want to do now is simply flash another Custom Rom on the Device (Stari or CM10.1, probably Stari though), problem is, that i don't have this on the Fire and don't know how to put it on the Fire.

I can open up TWRP and click USB mount and connect it to my computer, but no device shows up (tried 2 different Laptops, 1x Win7, 1x Win8) and besides from that i have no clue how to either get back in Amazon Stock Rom to connect it to the computer and put files on it or how to do this in TWRP

Help appreciated !
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
OK what I would do is push the file over adb to your sdcard while booted into twrp, so if u have the android SDK or any tools like binaries root, put your ROM in the same folder as adb.exe and run from a command prompt that's cd'd into that directory

Adb.exe push romnamehere /sdcard/romnamehere

I don't know if your computer shows the extensions but I'm guessing that romnamehere will need to have .zip added to the end of it unless its there already.

Also thought I'd mention if your computer refuses to accept the fact that adb is connected I heard at one point that twrp for kindle didn't have the same vid for adb as it does in the kindle os, so you would have to mod the drivers with the new one. I can confirm this in a few min if need be.

Edit: yep my kindle registers as 0x18d1 as the vid in twrp, though I am slightly confused, I couldn't get adb to work, kept saying no permission. I read about the adb side load button as well it may be of use but I'm unsure.

In order to get adb going while in recovery. Download kindle fire utility not that you will only be using this for the driver installation anything else will permanently brick your kindle. After extracted go to drivers/kindle folder and open android_winusb with notepad add

under [Google.NTx86] and[Google.NTamd64] then click save and run the driver install.bat then plug in your device and you should have adb going on both CM10 and in recovery.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] skagen:
Just tried it. It does seem to make a difference in color, focusing speed and overall pic quality. White spots pretty much gone.

It also totally borked my today screen. Apparently it doesn't like the windows default theme, so changing to the alternate, "Bliss" theme, took care of that.

Definitely worth doing...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Guest:
Just installed it and the picture quality in low light/incandescent is still total crap.

Holding my JAM next to my PDA2K there is just no comparison. While the JAM may have a higher resolution the amount of noise in the picture is just ridiculous. Whoever in quality control passed this should be shot.

Also my today screen was totally garbled after installing it. Had to switch to Bliss and then back again to cure it.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Guest:
Is there any equivalent patch for the MDA Compact? I've tried installing this one but it doesn't update my build number :-(
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dacmo:
This does not change the build number. It's the CMOS control driver update not the camera software upgrade.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] metnik:
I'd like to know it, too :roll:

on pocketgear there are:

MP3 ringtone patch for XdaIImini(T.Chi) 1.0

MP3 ringtone patch for XdaIImini (Eng) 1.0

Chinese and English, so it seems you need the correct one.

Other question: is possible to uninstall a patch?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] taron:
Humm we're not talking about the same patch ... The discussion thread is about the camera patch (working for all version: XDA, Qtek, etc. if I'm not wrong).

You're talking about a patch for adding the context menu when you click on a MP3 file and you want to add it as a ringtone. The language is not specific, it is only to define the language of the sentence "set as ringtone".

I translated it to french (not too hard :D) and sent it back to the author. You can remove this patch easily (add/remove programs).

[General Questions and Answers] navycow:
Coming from an iPhone5 the Sync system in my car would play the custom ringtone I set over the car speakers. I loved hearing the Hyrule theme while i was driving. However I recently switched to the GS4 and the ringtone in the car doesn't match with the one I have set on my phone... in fact it's this loud awful DING DING DING song that makes me jump out of my shoes. I tested it with my old Galaxy nexus as well with the same results. No matter what i change my ringtone to on the phone it plays that default one on the stereo.

What is Apple doing differently? Anyone know what I can do to make the phone ringtone play on the stereo? I've tried tons of ringtones, and a bunch of different roms, from stock to AOSP.

Thanks for your help.

Ringtones over Bluetooth from GS4 won't play

Hi, just discovered the same problem, upgraded from iPhone 4 to GS4, and ringtones won't play on my Ford Sync over bluetooth. Did you ever find a solution? I saw some forums saying it might be a droid limitation, if so, that sucks.

Wow. Long time this thread's been active. No resolution... But if you go into the sync settings you can assign a different built in ring tone. Some are more mellow

I simply resized my widget. I'm currently at 2 X 3. Using Apex shell, if that matters.

Well, I created a new home screen and was able to get the widget onto it, and then was able to resize it as you mentioned.

Clearly the issue was a problem between the screen and the chair. ;)

I had just installed new kernel from TWRP, and rebooted. Nothing, just straight black screen. I cannot get to recovery or download mode. The battery was about 60% and plugged in when I did the kernel flash. If I hold the power button for a long time, the LED flashes orange about 10 times, then repeats the flashing pattern, only if plugged in to charger. I do not have a small torx to remove the screws and attempt a battery pull. Any ideas? As a note, the phone had been giving me various reboots for no apparent reason.

Yes, MobileTechVideos. Phone was received by them Thursday. Still toying with keeping it for backup and canceling my insurance on the E980, assuming Josh can fix the thing.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mbruster:
Update: Received my phone back from MobileTechVideos, and everything works well again. They installed the ROM I had requested, so I am happy with the service and recommend them. Now my only problem is I still prefer the screen on the LGOG over the Pro....

on the phones lockscreen settings theres no option to disable missed calls , and the phone always defaults to this screen and not to dashclock eventho its in the correct position.

maybe a mod to disable the default missed call notification or somthing is out there somone knows about ?

That's pretty cool. I liked the idea of putting a screw to hold the case, prevents it from detaching from the device in a fall.

However I'm pretty sure ther would be a bunch of people saying "cool iPhone you got there bro" ou "hey, I haven't this big new iPhone yet!"
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] absolutnick:
Hi guys. I just received the case. Really mixed fillings. Have a look at pictures. I have to remove phone back cover as I have spigen TR glass on but fit is really good with no gaps and no creaking. Well made case but maybe I dont want aluminum after all :laugh:. NO signal drop in my house with full HSPA before and after case on. Also as I removed back cover of phone weight remains virtually same as the case is probably less than 10 grams in weight.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] absolutnick:
Overall a good case, good fit and quality, no drop in signal in my house(dbm and asu remain same, cant test NFC) but Ill probably sent it back and get a noreve leather back case. Leather wins aluminum :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] chuko303:
So in 2010 7 inches was considered a tablet. Now this colossal phone comes along at just the same size being the screen size is 6.3 inches! Thats huge for a phone. Now just imagine with a case? Your carrying a man purse. 5.5 on the note 2 is as big as im ever going. My opinion. It looks sexxy as heck but the size is just to big. Or what you guys think?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] baladev:
You have some flaws in your logic. 6.3" isn't the same size as 7" and if you consider that the bezel is very thin and is much thiner than that on a tablet, you actually have a considerably smaller device. If you put together a 7" tablet and a GM 6.3, you will see that GM is much smaler. You cant pocket a 7" tablet, but you can a GM. the attraction of GM is that it's the biggest device you can fit in a normal size pocket. I wouldn't use it as a phone that i carry around with me everywhere, but as a portable tablet for internet/games/email/videos - a very good option, imo.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] curgervending:
I have to agree with Baladev. Being the owner of both a 7" tablet and the 6.3 galaxy mega, I can tell you that the overall size of the galaxy mega is way smaller than my 7" tablet even though there is only a .7 inch difference in actual screen real estate. The mega easily fits into my front pant pocket (and I'm sure it will continue to fit easily in my pocket when I get the case for it). I would more than likely rip my pants trying to put my 7" tablet into my pocket even with the case removed. The reason? the tablet's shape is more "squarish" than rectangular making it wider and impossible to fit into my pant pockets. The mega is more rectangular than square so it easily slips into my pant pockets. Also, the tablet has a much bigger bezel on all side (contributing to its much larger size). The bezel on the mega is thin.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] witeboy07:
I totally love my mega. Its very funny when you are walking around and people be like. Is that the note 2?. Hah. Nice specs. Hd video. Slim bezel. And great battery life.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] newgen2005:
I got mine today, I switched from the Galaxy Note N7000.

I must say I was a little worried that the Mega 6.3 would be too big! The actual phone isn't massive at all, the screen almost takes up the whole of the front panel. The quality of the screen is wonderful, the phone is also very light for the size and nice and fast too!

For the price I am more than happy! :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] StephanSch:
Based on my thread for the HTC One X I made a apk to turn on NFC at screenoff and lockscreen for the Sony Xperia Z.

You have three options when to use NFC:

screen off

lock screen

unlocked

USAGE

Rename the attachment to Nfc.apk

Backup your /system/app/Nfc.apk and Nfc.odex (if existing)

Delete /system/app/Nfc.odex (if existing)

Replace the original apk in /system/app - to keep permission use adb:

adb remount

adb push Nfc.apk /system/app

Reboot phone (adb reboot)

Disable NFC

Enable NFC

The compatibility depends on the framework/base. If your ROM has the same specifications like one existing you can use the posted.
