[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Jilxz:
I was all set to get the HTC One when it comes to Verizon. But now I am having second thoughts since I read somewhere at some tech site , about HTC One automatically syncs all the pictures From your contact list in Facebook. It puts all these pictures into an album in your picture gallery.

I don't want my so-called friends pictures. This would fill up all my storage space. I have all kinds of institutions , police departments , florist shops etc etc on friends list plus all those people who I don't even know. I surely don't want all this put on my phone taking up my valuable storage space. Loading up my phone with this crap. What in the world was HTC thinking ? I don't want to have to install any thing to prevent this. I assume that as soon as you get your phone turned on , that it begins this automatic sync. So I do not want this to even begin. I guess I will need to wait until something else turns up.

Perhaps some one with an HTC One could please tell me about this ?

I Get A File From OTA Update Original For GT-I8190 In Folder /CACHE/OTA-Update/, But I Have Deleting Files delta.bin (35 Mb) Because Easy In Upload, I Already Tried Flash Stock Recovery And The Signature Verification Success But Installs Update My Firmware Failure (My Firmware Not Official / Custom). I Think The Signature Verification Can Use To Create File Root Flash From Stock Recovery. :D

Download ZIP Signature OTA Update
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] tys0n:
It's not only Signature Verification but also checksum involved.

Can it be edited to work?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] faisalxp:
I Also Think So. And I Hope Someone Can Make File Root Or The Other Flash From Stock Recovery.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] metalboy94:
Correct me if I'm wrong but that checksum looks like what md5 [file1 file2 etc] would spit out - the kind of thing you do when CWM can't restore your backup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] theTIMinator:
Long story short, my phone was just bricked. If you want the readers digest version, the battery died, I plugged it in but didn't wait long enough before turning it on, and as it was booting up while charging it died again, which caused a bootloop. I did a backup to my sd card through recovery mode, then left my phone and went to sleep as it was finishing. When I woke up, my phone was hot and completely bricked. Straight Talk is sending me a free replacement. I was running on cm10 nightly (I think my last update was 6/16/13.

This is my plan, can somebody tell me if you think it'll work?

- Install the same cm10 nightly update that the old phone had

- Create a backup of my new phone to the sd card

- Replace the "Data" file of the backup of the original phone with the "Data" file of the backup from my new phone

- Restore the backup of the new phone with the old data file

Do y'all think this will work? Hopefully it wasn't anything in the data file that caused the bootloop!

Oh and btw when I would reset the cache before it bricked, it would turn on and say "Updating apps" and it would go through all 150 or so, then when it said "Starting Apps", it would stop and wouldn't go any further.

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Hello everyone!

I'll get this out of the way now, I'm a noob and I'm finally bursting the cherry of posting on here even though I've referenced this site for several years now for different phones, roms and rooting. In other words, please be patient with me if this post is somewhere else and I missed it.

Anyways, as the post topic asks, did anyone order the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 developer edition? If so, did you guys get it? What do you all think of it?

I thankfully ordered mine at 6:30 pm the day it came out before it went on back order, so either samsung wasn't planning on so many ordering and didn't make many or its a really popular phone. I'm waiting on the UPS guy to show up here with my phone today and I'm getting antsy.

Ordering from samsung and checking on its status yesterday was a nightmare because so many departments couldn't find my order number and I almost told them to cancel the order. Glad I didn't.

Does anyone know if you can take it to the store and get insurance on it or where to get mobile insurance on it? This is the first time I ever bought off of contract and do not want to waste my $715.49 investment should something happen to it. (Mom of a 9 month old, anything can and will happen.)

Thanks for the help and happy experiences with the new phones!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshw0000:
I don't think the Google Edition S4 will work on Verizon. Like other Google phones, it's GSM unlocked but I don't believe it has the proper bands to function on Verizon. You may want to research and/or possibly cancel your oder if you plan to use it on a CDMA network.

That said, anyone get a dump of the rom yet? I'm sure it's just a matter of time before someone ports it for our phones (assuming partitions are the same - they should be).

Huh? I didn't buy a google edition S4, I bought the developer version. It will work fo verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshw0000:
My mistake. The GE S4 and One became available on the Play Store yesterday. I thought you were talking about that. Which another thread in this forum raises some interest that the GE may work on Verizon.

Sorry for the thread de-rail.

Would have bought if 32gb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skindogg:
I ordered one yesterday. My DROID bionic has been flailing, and I want to keep unlimited data. I can't wait to start playing with it! This will be my first foray into playing with ROMs and such.

P.S. 64GB microSD cards are like half off on amazon, at least they were yesterday. Got one of those too since only comes with 16GB :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skydeaner:
Make sure you give the dev's the AOSP rom from it so that we can get the IR remote working on AOSP builds... SO EXCITED!@!!!

Wait, it doesn't come with touchwiz right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skindogg:
I read it does come with TouchWiz on droid-life, just not all the verizon crap. I guess I'll find out Monday when it's supposed to show up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cmmelton2:
Hey no problem, so many phones going out at once, its easy to get confused.

Now all I need is that darn UPS guy here already and I'll let ya'll know what it does/doesn't have on it if someone doesn't beat me to it. And I still wish they would have done it as a 32 gig version, but I don't see that coming... at least to verizon anyways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markwebb:
Mine is in transit; should be here Monday. From what I understand, it does come with VZ bloatware but once rooted, you can ROM away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cmmelton2:
and iewctal

So update here.

I just got the device, getting verizon to activate it was a pain because several techs kept saying "they don't support a developer device" but I finally got it taken care of.

Yes it has bloatware, will be taking care of that.

Also is not rooted, will be looking up ways to do that now to make sure I do this right.

Too bad there isn't a one click root for this thing, I'd really like to save some time than fighting doing it on a mac.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markwebb:
I have a Droid Bionic: is it the same size SIM card? Can I swap the Bionic for the Galaxy S4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cmmelton2:
I don't know what size that card is. I had a samsung droid charge (horrible phone) and its card didn't fit in it. It needs a micro SIM. If you have time before yours comes in, I'd be safe and just get one free from verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cmmelton2:
Oh one other thing I forgot, you can add insurance from verizon to protect your device. They will cover it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markwebb:
Thanks again. And..I just opened Bionic and it doesn't look like a micro SIM. It looks rather large to me so I will be visiting VZW asap. LOL They should not charge, correct? I have heard of customers getting charged.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ytwytw:
Is that loaded with Pure Android Firmware or still TW-based rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markwebb:
VZW Dev Edition = Touchwiz Unlocked

Google Edition = Pure Android

:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ytwytw:
I see

Hope to see if someone can Unlock the Bootloader for our regular i545 :angel:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cmmelton2:
Sorry I flaked out for a bit there, it was supper time for my daughter. I'm working on trying a few things here and maybe can help the others. Fingers crossed. Still waiting on files to download to gain root first though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skindogg:
Did they charge you for activation? It looks like I'll have to take mine in to the store to get it activated since my BIONIC doesn't have a microSIM. :mad:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markwebb:
I also have a Bionic and will be visiting my local corporate VZW store next week as well. By the way, had your contract expired or are you paying a slight ETF?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skindogg:
My contract is up in Sept. but wait there's an ETF even if I bought the device for retail?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markwebb:
I wasn't sure, that is why I asked. I would think there shouldn't be an ETF since one is still staying with VZW but the dev edition phone is not subsidized. Maybe others can share their experience.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rickinsav:
From my experience swapping phones and sims with Vzn, they only charge if you upgrade and renew the contract and get discounted equipment pricing. If you just activate another device, new sim or not, I've never been charged - even when it was NFC sim for my S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skindogg:
Well I switched to my S4 yesterday. They put in the sim and activated it without a problem even though I had 3 months left on my contract. No fee. They even had an otterbox commuter that I was going to get anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markwebb:
Thanks! Just came back from VZW and they did as you sai

Hello XDA lovers :)

I'd like to propose create a special part of wiki where every body may descripe software for xda. I think that we should descripe especially free software, thus every body can use.

What do you think XDA lovers?

Best regards,

Bartlomiej Swiercz
[General Topics] cruisin-thru:
Sounds like a good idea, users could report bugs, features, usability, clashes with other software or with certain roms etc.
[General Topics] Swifty:
Sounds good, would be really usefull to have different catagories.. ie. Media Players, Phone Tools, etc...

I reckon it would be an excellent addition to the wiki
[General Topics] swierczu:
Then, lets do it :)

Who is responsible for wiki.xda-developers.com site?

I think that we should organize this part of wiki:

1) divide to categories (as Swifty said)

2) one item should have: name, description, url do project, opinion

3) everybody should be able to write own opinion about every item

Are you agree XDA lovers?

Best regards,

swierczu.
[General Topics] Rudegar:
i'm pretty sure it'sme

as in the person it'sme

not as in me :)
[General Topics] swierczu:
ok :)

Do you want to create categories in wiki?

Just a question:

Is there a (free) keyboard with the following attributes:

Force fullscreen keyboard in Landscape (only big keyboard and textbox where currently typing in Landscape)

Normal keyboard in Portrait (see everything android shows and Keyboard)

low memory footprint

no correction

easy to use

good looking (like gingerbread keyboard)

Just a dumb keyboard with force fullscreen in Landscape.

Thanks in Advance

For anyone that wants to grab the Samsung Galaxy S4 camera (aosp version) that has just dropped I will post the link.

For Tw install like any normal apk.

For aosp uninstall stock camera first then install apk.

Gallery is about the same as the original 4.2.2 gallery but the only difference comes within the camera as screenshots posted below.

Everything is working nicely with no hiccups and works with tw roms as well

Yeah got this earlier. Works great. I wonder why this version just requires to install like any other app but the version before require flashing zips to add it.

For people who are running AOSP ROMs, you're going to have to uninstall the current camera and then install the stock Google camera for it to work.

Don't see why it should have?

I have 3 cameras on my s3 and none have overwritten my stock camera

Edit: revert to your stock camera and flash this

http://db.tt/SF5iUVC5

You'll then have both cameras and you can install this s4 one over the one you flashed. I believe this will work since that's what I flashed to have both cameras to begin with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elreydenj:
freezes when using flash

If you do not press the screen to focus before taking a picture with flash then it freezes. Must reboot. Very frustrating, but everything else is working. Anyone else experience?

He's right about the problem with the camera on AOSP ROMs. Small flaw, but not a deal-breaker.

It happens with the camera even with flash off too... Might be something to do with AOSP's coding.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
How does this compare to the camera on Synergy ROM? Photo Sphere was cool but at that point it still looked like it needed some work, just wondering if this version improved on it any.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I can't speak on how it compares to Synergy, been using Beans rom, it seems like a fairly cool AOSP camera. There are some visual glitches here and there but that's to be expected with something like this. I like it overall cuz its minimalistic but I prefer the TW camera. Camera quality is comparable if not the same so there's no performance hit there.

FYI to anyone (in the future) who notices audio clipping on recorded video, you need to up your voltages to a min of 1150 across the board. My nominal cpu is susceptible to audio clipping on voltages

Edit: I think I have to add that the voltages may need to be set prior to recording video. I'll do some more testing tonight but I think it keeps clipping in the audio if you record <1150mv then change voltages AFTER and watch a video which contains audio clipping. Note, this is only for those users who get audio clipping in other audio apps (notifications, calls, podcasts) when voltages are set below 1150mv.

Any way to save to the sd card instead of the internal storage?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
Same issue here on Jellybam, then I flashed a new kernel and camera fc'd whenever I tried to start it. Photosphere is a neat party trick but I'll stick with the "stock" camera on Jellybam.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Bug report! FFC video is immensely buggy. Causes immediate freezing. Saw this bug reported on Android Central.

[MENTION=3391399]TokedUp[/MENTION],

Idk if it is possible since the Google Play Editions do not let you save to sdcard either. It's not supported on the GPe S4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Addiso:
Hmm ffc works fine for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Recording video works for you? Hmm, I would say I'll see what I can find later today but its not a big deal since I don't use the FFC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
There's an option in settings for storage. All there is, is an on-off toggle. Not sure what it does though...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Addiso:
Yeah it works, everything works fine but it can also depends maybe on rom and kernel.?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
That's for geolocation.

Could be. I'm on Beans and KT kernel. I think everything else worked for me as far as shooting modes and the back camera.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jsdecker10:
Well, here's my results with this S4 camera.... I'm on a Verizon S3 (SCH-I535), rooted & running LiquidROM 2.7 Official & the latest KT747 Kernel...minor settings tweaks, but no under/overvolting. If anything, I actually have the cpu underclocked to min:189mhz & max:1242 on gov:interactive and sched:row. Nothing major at all...just lowered those for battery life and my phone runs buttery smooth and plenty fast for me right now..

Everything seems to work just fine, with the exception of "Sphere". When I click on Sphere, the Camera app force closes, but I can start the camera app back up and I'm still able to connect to the camera and snap pictures without rebooting. Sphere doesn't cause that "can't connect to camera" message to pop up, it just force closes the whole app...simple fix: reload the program and dont click on sphere. lol There are just not many settings to fool with in the camera app. I use the packaged camera app that comes with liquid's 2.7 official rom and it has wayyyyyyyy more options, such as save to internal or external sd card, many more scenes to choose from, more resolutions to pick from, etc etc. Anyhow, I removed this S4 camera and reinstalled the one that came with Liquid 2.7 official.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RBarnett09:
Installed on LiquidSmooth v2.7.

First time swapping from back camera to the front camera, my phone rebooted. Opened it back up and it was still in front camera... changed it back to the back camera and am no longer experiencing reboots. Working nicely.

Thank you for sharing this!!

EDIT: Also just took a picture and then deleted it. When it went back to the camera, the picture I just took remained on screen. Had to close it and reopen it.

It has it's bugs, but still a great new camera app.

I recommend anyone to backup their current camera with Titanium Backup, just in case.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Hey [MENTION=4718504]Addiso[/MENTION], when you said you notice no issues with the FFC and video recording, how did you get into recording mode?

Did you:

1) change from photo to video first, then switch from back to FFC camera

or

2) from the camera app choose FFC first then switch from photo to video?

Could you try both ways for me? I think I noticed that the issue is only when switching to FFC then switching to video mode starting from the camera side. Method #1 works every time but method #2, not so much. There may be slight graphical glitch when you do the second method once. Try the second method a two or three times and I think you'll replicate this.

No biggie, idk who records with the FFC regularly when the back camera is so more capable.

Edit: to clarify, method #1 causes no issues but method #2 causes freezing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RBarnett09:

Doesn't seem to play nice with the stock TW camera. For instance, if you use the "best shot" feature on stock TW, it will hang on saving picture. You need to hit the home screen to exit the app.

This does not relate with the stock camera messing up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Casper34:
So after a few hours of letting it settle in and all, I took a few pics and the camera froze while saving them. They did not save as a reboot was needed to unfreeze the phone. I'm switching back to the camera that came with pacman rom.
