Yes! Yes! Yes! (in cae you watch WWE or UFC :)

Yes, I used the AIO boot flasher software as other steps seem to be cryptic and take lot of assumptions that we "must" be aware of.

If you do not have the original boot.img like me search online like me, I was able to find for my phone. Else you can find someone with the same model and let you get the boot.img.

Then it was a matter of simply booting phone in "Downloading.." mode

=> 1. Hold Vol-Up+Power UP 2. Connect Phone to PC Via USB 3. Open the AIO application and choose "Boot" radio button

4. Select file where you have kept your original boot.img on windows PC 5. Tick Erase 6. Click Flash button

(there are other ways also, you can search but this seems easiest to me).

So basically what it did was replace the boot.img file included with the Custom ROM I used and replaced it with the original boot.img of my phone

And thats it! All issues I faced were gone.

This is the tool I used

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28719715

First I rooted my phone. Then installed custom recovery.

This same tool above was the one that helped me install customCWMRecovery (using other methods never succeeded).

Then copied the .zip custom ROM on SD card and installed that ROM (along with factory reset) via CWM.

After that it looked great but took LONG time to boot, screen looked as if it was flickering and most importantly the issue of y-axis inverted.

For that I found that I need to replace the boot.img of the custom ROM with the actual boot.img that came with the phone.

As I didn't have a backup I luckily found it online.

Use the above tool to flash the boot.img and.. Voila!

My $100 Phone works like a $400

How to integrate any SDK (external) with apps made from appsgeyser.com because there we get straight APKs
[General Questions and Answers] coolsandie:
Yup, that's the problem. You won't get source code for apps being made in appsgeyser and it contains ads/banners of theirs. Not sure which SDK you want to integrate, but it all happens if the source code is present.

I want to integrate startapp SDK, is there anyway to decompile the app or anything
[General Questions and Answers] coolsandie:
For decompiling the apk, there are several tools available like apktool, apkmanager etc. which converts into xml and smali codes. Also, there is another tool called APK to Java by Broodplank which converts the apk into Android App Project like structure containing java codes, xml etc. Just try to see whether those helps.

hello! Is it possilbe to port sense 5 to our old desire? Sense 4.1 is still working... so why not try sense 5? Love the new look and feel of HTC Sense 5! would love to see this on desire :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] HandyBesitzer:
In theory?? Yes of cause

in real?? Not yet. There a lots of things not working for Sense 4 and 4.1 beacuse of the kernel. Nikez is working on the K3. after full finishing it will take some time to get Sense k3 working. and than i think some devs will try sense 5.

till there you can take a theme of sense 5 avaialbe here
[Desire Themes and Apps] MICH_**:
Yeah, i know that but would sense 5 work with k2.x? Even sense 4 requires k3 and is booting on an lower kernel.

thanks for anwser :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] HandyBesitzer:
mh it may works. have a look at the SenseDream Thread. they are working on Sense 3.6, 4.0 and 5.0 but i don't know how much works. They also port Sense 5 to dHD and sayed they made big progress. So maybe in future there will be Sense 5 for us, too

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimik1:
Hi guys, I need your help. I've got galaxy note 10.1 tab. I stupidly tried flashing cwm through rom manager, even though it wasn't compatible! Now, I'm stuck on the samsung logo when booting up. It is rooted via exynos abuse. Its on stock rom and no custom recovery. I can get to download mode and the android recovery. On top of that, I've been trying to install odin on my computer, but its not working, keep getting Korean message, and when I click ok, the odin window comes up for a split second, then disappears. I really need some help please.

Thanks in advance:confused:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxTy3uKxxx:
Try googling about download mode and fastboot utilite from Android Development Bundle ;)

With this utilite you can try to flash recovery image
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimik1:
Result!!!

Firstly thanks to xxxTy3uKxxx for the prompt reply to my question. It helped me look in the right direction to sort my blunder! In the end I couldn't use the above method because it required to have the tablet in "USB DEBUGGING MODE" which I couldn't do because I couldn't get the damn thing on! :eek:

So, now that I've fixed it (if I didn't my missus would have killed me) I wanted to share with all as there doesn't seem to be a lot of solutions around to fix this problem!

From the above post you can see what the problem was, I was only able to get to either download mode or the android stock recovery, and the phone was not booting past the "note 10.1" logo

- I basically had to download the "rootgalaxynote10.1" zip file from rootgalaxynote.com.

- Then, using Odin I flashed the "highonandroidCWMrecoveryGTN8000.tar" file. This gave me custom recovery (you can't flash roms with stock android recovery)

- From here I downloaded a rom for my N8010, and put in on a micro sd card. Put this in the note 10.1, then used custom recovery to flash this rom

NB. I encountered a problem with Odin, and that was I couldn't open it on my lap top! I downloaded numerous files/versions, but no luck. Some forums said to run as administrator or switch off firewall/anti-virus, but nothing worked! I then tried it on a different lap top and VOILA! I don't know why, but it worked on different lap top!

I hope this helps someone out in the future :cool:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimik1:
Sorry mate, not to familiar with that. Might need one of the more experienced guys to help you out. Good luck:good:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashcactus:
Sorry for writing so late and in such a for dummies manner. I want this thread to be helpful for absolutely everyone who bricked his device like this.

COMPLETE SOLUTION:

First, you can try to flash your ROM (stock roms can be found here. There's another topic with more stock roms but I can't find it) with Heimdall, excluding the data partition to preserve... erm.. your data:

Install Heimdall with its graphical frontend.

Connect your device to your computer via USB cable and put it in download mode (ODIN mode) (Power+VolumeDown).

Open the Heimdall frontend, go to the Utilities tab.

Press Detect device. The device detected radiobutton to the left should be checked.

Under Print PIT check the Local File radiobutton and select where to save your device's partition data to (I named the file

n8k.pit

) in the browse dialog under it. Then press the Print button.

Now go to the Flash tab. Select the file you just created in the browse dialog under Options/PIT.

unpack the .zip containing your ROM. Then unpack the .tar.md5 that was inside it. You'll get several .img files.

Press the Add button. Select 'SYSTEM' from the Partition Name list. Select the

system.img

file you just unpacked under File (system.img).

For each entry in the following list, do the previous step, substituting 'SYSTEM' and

system.img

by:

BOOT and

boot.img

, respectively;

CACHE and

cache.img

, respectively

Take a deep breath and press Start.

And then you can go the hard, perverted&interesting way, and that's the way I went.

download this zipfile and unpack it. Find

highonandroidCWMrecoveryGTN8000.tar

among the unpacked files and unpack that. You'll get a

recovery.img

file.

download another version of CWM reccovery in an Odin-flashable format, unpack it to get the

recovery.img

download PhilZ Touch Recovery for your device in ODIN-flashable format. Unpack and get the

recovery.img

.

Do steps 1-6 from the instruction above.

Press the Add button. Select 'RECOVERY' from the Partition Name list. Select your

recovery.img

file under File (recovery.img).

Press the Start button and wait for the operation to finish.

If you did not flash the PhilZ recovery right away, download it in CWM-flashable zip format, put on your SD card, load your new recovery and flash the zip.

Open the recovery, go to Backup and Restore => Custom Backup and Restore => Custom Backup job

Uncheck everything except backup data and optionally backup recovery, then press >> Start Custom Backup Job <<[/color].

Download a ROM of your liking, wipe data&cache, flash it, try it.

If you like it, try to restore data. Get the recovery going, go to Custom Restore job => uncheck all except data => >> Start Custom Restore Job <<[/color] => find your backup =>

data.ext4.tar

) and reboot the device. If it doesn't bootloop, congratulations. If it does, GOTO 8.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hedpe:
So, I had one Galaxy S4 and with my polarized sunglasses I had no issue seeing the screen. The home button broke and I got the entire unit replaced, now whenever I look at the screen with my polarized sunglasses it is dimmed significantly.

What is your experience with polarized sunglasses and your S4? I'm wondering if it's more common or not to have issues with them on the S4. I know *very* common with screens to have an issue with polarized lenses
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] m0r0n3s:
Mine is really clear. No problems at all
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] WoodburyMan:
Can see mines fine. However it might be different from screen to screen. For example my Pebble watch... I cannot see at all with my polarized glasses on. And my iPhone 4S was hard to read as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Matridom:
LCD screens use polarization to create the image, you can see the details here in the LCD wiki. Because of this, using polarized sunglasses will make the screen appear dark in certain orientations. AMOLED on the other hand has sub pixels for each color, negating the need for polarization. If any polarization patterns are seen, it would be caused by the tempering process of the gorilla glass (and i'm not sure if this would even be seen in polarized light)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hedpe:
Apparently the Galaxy S4 active is shipping with a TFT display and not the AMOLED. I wonder if pressed for production, Samsung is starting to put the TFT display in the regular S4 also now? I'm going to put my screen under a microscope to check if it's AMOLED with subpixels and all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Matridom:
Never thought of the active. I would suspect differently though. LCD's are known to be better in direct sunlight, AMOLED is catching up, but for a phone designed for the outdoors person, Samsung may be taking no chances. I also don't see the active being advertised as an AMOLED like the s4 is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hedpe:
I checked under a microscope, comparing an iPhone 4 and a Galaxy S3. The pixel layout I saw on my Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S3 matched this image and other "microscope" images of the Galaxy S4 AMOLED.

http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/...Galaxy-S-4-on-the-right-screen-comparison.jpg

So, after seeing the pixel layout I'm absolutely confident it is an AMOLED. When I displayed a completely black image, there was absolutely no light coming through the display either and all pixels were turned completely off.

The retina display is an IPS LCD display Apple does not use amoled
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mattdm:
I have to tilt my S4 45 degree to the left to be able to view it clearly with polarized sunglasses. If I hold it straight, it is pretty dark, and if I tilt it 45 degrees to the right, it is nearly black.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] seanpr123:
Just wanted to mention with either of my polarized glasses my S4 is totally unaffected.

Interesting that there are differences in the manufacturing/tempering process.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] msavic6:
Mine is also unaffected. I have tried with multiple sunglasses aswell
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mattdm:
What you are saying is pretty much impossible with AMOLED displays. It may not be the normal orientation, but there has to be some orientation at which the screen is darkened. The only other explanation is that the sunglasses you tried were not actually polarized. You're absolutely sure?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] seanpr123:
Interesting, will perform some tests tonight.

I know both glasses are for sure polarized as they block out my cars display at certain angles.

I'm 99% sure of my statement, wonder if I can record the effect somehow with another camera.

Will let ya know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
It's likely just a matter of the build process - the polarization of the screen could be different in newer [sub]models. From one AMOLED screen to another, I've noticed the same problems, but it depends on what polarization the glasses have, what ANGLE the polarization is at, and what angle the polarization is on the device screen. I also have to tilt my head at least 45deg to get it 100% bright, and holding the device sideways works fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nyarrgh:
This happened to me on my galaxy skyrocket, but only because the screen protector I had was polarized and "anti-glare". I do not have a screen protector on my S4 and it doesn't happen there. It's interesting if it is a difference in production, because polarization does cut down light output a little.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
It is quite interesting indeed. I haven't done much research on it, but I think it's something to do with keeping the light from bleeding into nearby pixels - keeping the image sharp and clear when looking at it head-on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] msavic6:
If I angle the phone a little, the screen appears darker in compariaon to the normal viewing angle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tele_jas:
I've noticed this on my S3 and my new/used S4.....

I also have an "off colored" strip about 1in long you can ONLY see with polarized sunglasses. Not sure if it's the Zagg screen protector that's wrinkled slightly in that spot, or if there is a scratch on the screen on that spot under the Zagg? My S3 did that wherever it had a scratch... The Zagg covered the scratches, but couldn't hide it from my sunglasses. I don't want to take off the Zagg on the S4 to see if it's actually scratched or not, maybe someday when I get a spare $30 for another one I'll check it out.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] yosemitesamiam:
First, with the earflip closed, you need to push and hold the answer button until the blue light comes on steady. At this point, make sure that your phone is ready to discover, and then open the earflip. They will find each other and ask you for a passcode on the phone. Enter 0000 as the code, and that should finish you off.

Good luck!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JihadSquad:
I am going to get a s4 soon, and I am wondering if I will need to get a case. Currently on the charge, and when I bought it I got the thicker case vzw offered. Within two weeks it was off, and I have used the phone naked ever since. I have dropped it countless times onto tile and concrete, and the only damage is a few scratches on the back cover and dents in the part of the bezel that extends past the screen (raised edge).

I have read that the s4 is quite fragile. Based on the above, should I get a case? If so, can I get the smallest one available, or should I opt for something bigger?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dust.:
It's all going to be up to your personal preference. Based on what you said, I would highly recommend a case. The S4 is pretty damn fragile and it's just not worth the risk if you have a history of dropping your phone. As for the size of the case, that is going to be up to you. Obviously the smaller/minimal cases will offer less protection. I like as little bulk as possible so that's fine with me and I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid on my S4 right now. Also consider a screen protector (plastic, tempered glass, etc.). Costly purchases but worth the $250+ investment into your new phone imo. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] d11dog11:
Dropped mine one time on flat tile from hip height and screen cracked and would not display an image.... Get a case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lSUPERFLYl:
I use a speck Candyshell and it doesn't add much bulk or weight to the phone at all, thats my recommendation. The smaller and light silicone cases just don't offer the kind of protection a hard case does. The Candyshells are on the more expensive side, but you can get them on Amazon cheaper than you can on Speck's website
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sigmaxaa:
How do you like that case? I have the white on order (as well as the glass screen protector) and was wondering if it looks as good as it does on Spigen's website.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DanGerousDroid:
If you're ever going to drop your phone than a case is a good idea.

If it doesn't offer protection to the four corners it's not worth it.

I saw a brand new GS4 dropped from waist height onto asphalt and it bent the metal rim around the screen and messed up the front facing camera.

The guy had a case on it, but it was a plastic sleeve with a stand that didn't cover the corners.

As far as screen protectors go I think they're a waste of money. The phone has gorilla glass. Unless you find yourself regularly working with materials that are actually hard enough to scratch the screen, it's just going to be another layer for glare and bubbling imperfections.

I had a Droid Charge for 2 years and only scratched it once, when I had some marble dust under my finger nail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kvswim:
JIHAD MY BOI.

I currently have an Incipio DualPro Shine on my S4. Offers pretty decent protection without being stupid thick, like the otterbox.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JihadSquad:
Yeah I don't have any scratch problems and don't care about cosmetic damage. The main thing I'm worried about is functionality breaking, like screen shatter or sensor damage.
