[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Towle:
Just wanted to clarify what the differences are between android and original development. Here are some KEY points by our very own pulser_g2.

The following are most likely “Original Development”:

*Official releases of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them

*Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.

*A significant “first” in development for a device. Significant is subjective, but it is likely something which took considerable time/effort, and is generally accepted by developers to be significant and non-trivial.

*Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available. Some element of original work is expected.

*ROMs where the developer has made a custom kernel for it.

*Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.

*Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to users of the target device. The port should be beneficial (a port from two virtually identical devices isn’t original development, it’s winzipping, and nobody really benefits from this, as it’s not development)

The following are most likely not “Original Development” and should be posted in the “Android Development” subforum:

*Your own “unofficial” stock build of your favorite original, source-built (or otherwise) ROM, particularly where an official or maintainer-endorsed thread exists already.

*Minor derivatives of other ROMs with little or no changes, or ROMs consisting of “placebo” features as a main constituent or claim.

*Renames or rebadges of others’ work – these don’t belong on XDA at all! Refer to rule 12 for more information.

*Reposts of existing ROMs with small changes (i.e. kitchen work, such as adding a couple of apps). If you could realistically distribute your changes as an “addon pack” above and beyond a ROM, you should do so. In addition, your “ROM” would not be original development as it would be substantially identical to the original ROM.

*A thread created with unrealistic goals that are clearly unachievable by those starting the thread. This is not intended to discourage high aspirations, rather to prevent threads porting Windows Phone 8 to the HTC Wallaby. This is pretty much common sense.

*A ROM where a main or significant claim/feature is graphical changes to the user interface (ie. Themed ROM)

You can find all the info for it here. Threads will be moved if they do not meet the "Original" development requirements. Thank you and have fun! :highfive:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] memo951:
Hello,

I was wondering if there is a program like "One Click Root" for the Optimus 4x HD?

I always have problems while rooting the phone, I rooted my Xperia Mini Pro with "One Click Root" and it worked but I was wondering if there is a similar program for the Optimus 4x HD as well?

Or an easy guide how to root it?

Thanks in advance
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Izzysoft:
What's wrong with O4XR? True, it's not a one-click (well, honestly: there's no such thing like "one-click" anyway, as each tool as its requirements: Also the so called "One-click-Root" needs to be downloaded first, then installed, then invoked, and then you can click the one button). I see no difference here: Download, unpack start the script. Well, not exactly "click", as you need to do it at the command prompt :)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] khaleel5000:
Hi, I have rooted my galaxy s2 plus (the NON NFC one). I am a noob when it comes to android.

How do I remove the tons of unnecessary apps like

chat on, group play , samsung link, samsung apps, Splanner , drop box, G+ messenger, S susggest, (is S voice useful? if not then Svoice) google + , game hub ,

Please also suggest me:

A simple yet powerful file viewer.

A working call screen (where you don't have to slide to pick a call, just two buttons are shown one for picking, other rejecting)

Customized or customizeable lock screen.

But most importantly

A good alarm (which auto snoozes and rings unless either you wake up or shut it off)

A Good calender,-i mean i have to add an alarm for every remainder! and cant google just develop a simple damn remainder, which auto snoozes and buzzes after 5 minutes ? DAMN NOKIA HAS BEEN MAKING ONE LIKE THAT SINCE 2002!
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] EnergySnail:
I use Root Explorer on file exploring and my alarm app is Sleep as Android
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Raven_Yen:
To remove unnecessary apps, you need to root, install Titanium Backup, and either freeze those apps / uninstall them.

For file viewer, I normally use Astro File Manager or Root Explorer.

Sorry, no suggestion for call screen or alarm.

If you were referring to have alarm feature in calendar, GTasks works well for me.

You set up a task on specific date, set a reminder, then tadaa!

(However, it's not as 'alarm' as normal alarm. It's just a reminder and notification when you turned your screen on. In my opinion, MissedIt! and GTask is a great reminder combo that I've been using for long.)

When I used the same 3G SIM to my N7000, it works with the same setting.

Is there any special setting for I9505.

Did it again but even when 'H' sign (it showed up all the time) is there - no data coming.

I noticed sometime it says 'E' and I can use internet.

But when it shows 'H' no internet flowing.

Strange and still hoping for your expertise view and suggestion.

I remember it was working fine in Hong Kong when I was there last week with Hong Kong SIM. It showed there 'H+'.

Hi all,

I want to sync the Exhange calendar from work into my private phone, but I don't want the work mails in my private phone.

On the HTC Sensation I could only check calendar and the mail didn't sync.

On the HTC one Inbox of the mail is mandatory and always marked.

Is there a way to unmark it? I have also checked other apps, but couldn't really find anything just for the calendar sync.

Edit: Would be great if I could umark inbox in a system file or something :)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStig405:
I have checked forums on XDA and on the web but I have not found a solution to my issue. I have noticed that my HTC One is having trouble downloading files on my LAN from my home server. I have turned off the cell radio so it is only using my wireless router, but do not see a difference. When I do the same download on my wife's Galaxy Nexus or my daughter's Pantech Discover, I am able to download files at around 7 Mb/s. However on the HTC One, it begins to download at around 25 KB/s and works it way to 0 KB/s in about 20 secs then stops downloading. The downloading bar does not go away, it is stays up and continues to try to download but nothing happens.

I have tried using both ES File Explorer and ASTRO File Manager and they both give me the same results. Also, I have noticed when I download files from the web it starts out at around 5 Mb/s but then begins get slower and slower to about 300 KB/s.

Has anyone else noticed an issue with downloading files? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Has anyone else been able to to test this on their phone? Am I the only one with this issue? I am wondering if I have a bad phone...
[General Topics] chris.k:
My friend had her XDAIIs stolen from her backpack today on the lovely safe london underground, She only noticed it missing when she came out of the station to make a call to be picked up,

When she Got home she rang her service provider (O2) who asked her if she had the IMEI number so the handset can be blocked from the network She had this and gave it to the operator.

The operator told her the handset would be blocked.

The problem is that she had her unit unlocked :cry: , so the lucky theif will be able to use it on another network.

If the theif uses the handset on another network can it be traced if O2 have blocked the handset?

I don't understand how O2 can trace the handset if its been blocked.

What are the chances of tracing the handset if the theif uses a pay as you go sim card, as his details will not be logged against any number as it is with a contract number. Also if the theif stupidly fills out the owners information screen with his details, will O2 or any other network he is on be able to see this information and pass his name and address on to the police?

This is only hope. and hoping this parasite is caught soon before he can steal again.

I hope someone on this site can develop some software to transmit by text message or E-mail the owners information screen to the owner every time the sim card is changed.then if the unit is stolen the new owners details will be revealed.

Xda stolen

Hi,

How about trying to call

all of the GSM carriers in your region

and report both the device serial number and IMEI number stolen and advise all the networks to advise the retail stores to keep the phone if the thief walks in to get it activated DO THIS ASAP!! and of course file a police report.

Tell your friend I'm am very sorry to read about her loss on her phone, I bet she feels sick and angry all at once, I know I would if it happened to me. Good Luck.

[General Topics] opium hk:
I wouldn't imagine that other carriers would block the handheld I am afraid. Any attempt would most likely be caught by the UK's privacy laws, if the carriers actually voluntarily wanted to be so kind to you.

I know it sucks, but could you imagine the damage that unscrupulous persons could do if what you are asking for could actually be done?
[General Topics] applecom:
If a UK opperator has bared it, within 3 weeks max it will be barred on all UK networks, at the moment its not world wide, so the phone will still work in any country apart from the UK

but the bad bit is that still gives the theif upto 3 weeks to sell it as a working phone, and the unlucky buyer thinks the phone is fine, even if they call there provider, it will not show as stolen yet.

[General Topics] padlad:
In the UK, last year or the year before all the uk networks made an agreement (with a little push from the government!) of setting up a nationwide database of stolen handsets. If your phone is stolen and reported to the network in question then that network submits the imei to the said database and this should then block the phone from ALL UK networks, rendering it useless. It is possible for the network to trace phones, they sometimes do this for the authorities in the event of crime, but with literally 1000's and 1000's of phones being stolen every year, it just wouldn't be possible to trace all of them (or be commercially viable!).

Sorry to hear about the stolen phone, i'm a great believer in 'what goes around comes around' so hopefully the thieving scum will get whats coming to them!
[General Topics] chris.k:
Thanks All

She is feeling sick,but she just found out she took the insurance out when she purchased the XDAIIs,so she is feeling a bit better now,

The only thing is, she will be without her beloved device for a while :( .

Anyway the theif might find it difficult to sell as her unit had a very loose screen,a problem most of them have, she hopes her new unit will have a tighter screen.

Mabe O2 can source her an XDAIII, Mmm just a thought!!!

[HTC One X] Lumeth:
Hi,

I've been through many threads before about similar but I couldn't find any that I could understand on the topic.

Basically I bought a new HTC One X on eBay to replace my previous one (which is also stuck in a boot loop - although I suspect due to physical damage).

All was going well until a request to install a 2nd system update, which I did after downloading it. As I was about to go to bed, the update must have completed, as I heard a buzz as the phone restarted. And then it restarted again, and again and so on, constantly on the white HTC screen.

The phone is absolutely stock with no custom ROM and I can return the phone, however the postage will take some time so that's not preferable.

The Power/Vol screen reads:

ENDEAVORU XE SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT- 1.12.000

CPLD-None

MICROP-None

RADIO-2.1204.135.20

eMMC/CPU/HW secure boot: disabled

MODEM PATH: OFF

Connecting a USB reveals "Failed USB Master mode"

Any help is greatly appreciated - thank you very much.
[HTC One X] Bl4ckX:
I dont think I know a different solution then resetting your phone to fix this, but there is one strange thing:

HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO GET S-OFF? :confused:

This is a thing the whole community is working on since the device has been released and nobody was able to achieve it easily. So you better dont return your device, because its special. ;)

Btw: On this screen my device shows ENDEAVORU S-ON

I dont know what the XE means, but it hast to be something special, because most owners of the HOX dont have it.
[HTC One X] r33fd:
I guess the update broke something and it may be beause of S-OFF.

If you're not familiar with rooting and custom roms at all S-OFF is actually a bed thing as it doesn't ask for signatures when dangerous commands are executed !
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Failed to open error is because you have the usb cable connected. And since you have s-off.....flash a JB ruu and it will be up to date
[HTC One X] Lumeth:
Thank you all very much for your answers - and I genuinely have no idea about the s-off thing haha, just came like that.

With regards to the JB RUU, where would I best get the latest one and to flash it, I have to do those CMD commands whilst USB connected I presume.

If I don't know what drive my phone is (e.g. C: H:) etc, as it's no longer showing up as HTC One X in 'My Computer', what would be the best way to find out?

Once again, thank you all for your help.
[HTC One X] robchongke:
here's the link for available RUU. http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Endeavor
[HTC One X] Lumeth:
Thanks, I've managed to narrow down the RUU to two possible out of them:

RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe

I'm trying to figure out which one of them is likely the one for my phone, as it was sent from Hong Kong.

Apologies for my sheer newbieness to this; I'm not particularly familiar with this sort of thing.

My phone's CID shows up as 11111111? Not sure if that helps. Thanks again for all your help.

All I know is that it's an unlocked HTC One X 32GB phone (which came in a 16GB box, strangely) sent from Hong Kong.

But it said the ROM wasn't able to be updated - is there any exact RUU people could point me to?

Apologies for being remarkably stupid and ignorant on the topic and thank you for all your help.

I'm not sure if I am right about that, but might this happen because all the RUUs are for the Endeavoru and you have an Endeavoru XE?

Getting the phone to charge

Hi,

I've found the right ROM/method to flashing it - however the phone is absolutely out of battery. I try charging it normally, in fastboot and connected by USB to the computer but it simply doesn't charge as it goes into the boot loop when left charging.

Thanks again,

Luke
[HTC One X] matt95:
The phone need to be booted up or in recovery to get charged... it won't charge if it is in HBOOT... can you boot into recovery? or power it off?
[HTC One X] Lumeth:
Unfortunately when I try and put it into recovery it simply goes into the white boot loop screen, powering it down in any way does the same when it has any charge and the factory reset doesn't work either.

I've been considering sending it back to the seller to be repaired, but my first attempt failed due to restrictions on sending things with lithium batteries.
[HTC One X] matt95:
You don't need to send it back, this can be easily solved... I'm writing from the phone right now so I can't search for the right post to look at, search here in the Q&A section for a script that charges the phone, that's the answer to your problem :) if you don't find it just tell me and I'll search that for you as soon as possible

http://db.tt/aLqeTpPO

[HTC One X] Lumeth:
You absolute legends - it's charging now!

Thank you so much! :victory:

Edit: With the .bat method, it seems to charge up to 10% max, which I presume isn't high enough for me to flash the new system with. Is there any way I can get it to charge to full so I can flash the stock ROM back on? I'm wary of it dying during a flash and bricking as a result of that.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
In theory 10% is enough to flash a custom recovery. If that works you can enter it and leave to charge there.....
[HTC One X] Lumeth:
Hi, flashed Clockwork Recovery which runs fine, how do I get it to charge using that - is there a way of checking charge with it?

Thanks again

EDIT: Just reset batt stats with it and it seems to be charging wonderfully. After this I just flash the latest European ROM for my phone when fully charged I suppose?
[HTC One X] matt95:
you don't need to full charge it :) when it is charged enough flash it :)
[HTC One X] Lumeth:
Thanks Matt, it's currently at around 3785mV and taking a fair while to charge - I'm assuming it's around 3900mV that I should do the flash via HTC One Click?
[HTC One X] matt95:
I would use the manual method :D you can't go wrong with it, by the way do it as you wish :p
[HTC One X] Lumeth:
Hi,

Fixed the phone! Flashed it to ICS and it works fine. Problem is, whenever I try and update from Android 4.03 to Android 4.04 in a 168mb update, the phone goes into a boot loop like it did in the first place.

It does the update, then the screen flickers a couple of times and goes into the boot loop.

Is there any way I can get it to update without doing this?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Yeah there is a way, but i am not sure of it screws things up or not !

There is the option to try and flash the standalone 3.14/3.20.401 firmware. The bootloader should update to 1.39.

That's something you are willing to try or not ? You are s-off but the "endevouru xe" thing is the main problem here i guess.
[HTC One X] Lumeth:
Would that be the OTA zip? Not sure why it keeps dying on this update :/

I can only run the RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11 RUU without getting an Image Error.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Hmm okey, so the 1.29 works flawlessly. Does the 2.17.401 ruu also work ?

And yes the firmware flash is the firmware from the ota.
[HTC One X] Lumeth:
The 2.17 RUU also actually runs too, but it ends up with the same result as updating to 2.17 on the phone. The 3.14 JB RUU doesn't run at all, giving me "IMAGE ERROR 159", is it possible to flash the OTA straight to the latest version rather than doing it sequentially? I guess I just do that on fastboot too.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Flashing the 2.17 ota will end up in the same result because its actually the same as running the full 2.17 ruu. Counts for the 3.14 too......

Only thing i can think of is to flash the 3.14 firmware only and directly from the bootloader. No guarantees given ;)
[HTC One X] Lumeth:
I've downloaded the OTA, is there any guide you can link me to doing that? And should I do this to the 1.29 version on my phone or flash it to the broken 2.17 and then do it>
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
This is the firmware

http://www.androidrevolution.nl/downloader/download.php?file=3.14.401.31.zip

Rename it to firmware.zip

Relock the bootloader :

Fastboot oem lock

Then go into ruu mode with these commands :

Fastboot oem rebootRUU

Fastboot flash firmware firmware.zip

(Maybe 2-3 times needed)

Then reboot the phone and check if the bootloader has changed to 1.39
[HTC One X] Lumeth:
It just gave me FAILED <remote: not allowed>, should I unlock the bootloader and retry?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Nope bootloader must be locked. Did it go into a ruu mode screen before you flashed the firmware ? One with a HTC logo ?
[HTC One X] Lumeth:
Yes it did, that bit worked fine.
[HTC One X] Lumeth:
It says 'writing firmware' and then says 'FAILED' for remote: not allowed and then for all my attempts afterwards it gives me <command write failed invalid argument>

Hboot is 1.12 and it's currently running the broken 2.17 rather than the working 1.29
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Then i have no solution for you, maybe you can dig up more info about the XE thing ? I think that could be useful.

It just does not take the firmware, just like the 3.14 ruu can't update the bootloader, sadly enough
[HTC One X] Lumeth:
Did it! I just used flash zip firmware.zip rather than flash firmware firmware.zip - ironically off an old post of yours I found Mr Hofs haha.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Ow crap .... I made a huge mistake indeed !!!! Have mercy on me !!!!

And did it work now.....hopefully the bootloader is updated. Then you must :

*unlock the bootloader

*flash custom recovery

*flash boot.img new rom

*perform a full wipe in recovery

*install new rom

:D
