Hello community,

i would need some directions.. i bought some china phone named G21 (no name phone) running on ics 4.0.3,

i was struggling to root this phone and yea i used many rooting option and puff i made it (i think sparky root over pc worked (not sure))

but now im stuck on stock recovery

Android system recovery <3e>

and this is what i see:

reboot system now

apply update from sdcard

apply update from cache

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

Well every normal person would say use apply update from sd card to install another recovery am i right? well i tried that but no success

this is what i get:

-- Install /sdcard2 ...

E:signature verification failed

Signature verification failed

...

and yea device is rooted and works normally with su.. can someone help me please?

edit: i did some research this phone is based on htc, well usb drivers for htc are only ones working with my device.

edit: also tried to unlock bootloader (if that would magically work, (htc boot unlocker)).. well im also stuck on "fastboot devices" phone just wont appear, but when i use "adb devices" i get whole device number...

drivers are installed correctly, everything seems normal on my pc but still no success. (i tried with x64 and x32 wins 7

[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
for the signature verification there is a option to bypass it in cwm i dont remember where its at but you can take a look around and turn of signature verification, you should turn it back on when your done with it. if you cant find it ill start up the old droid incredible and take a look where its at. good luck!
[General Questions and Answers] orangekid:
Also remember you can flash a custom recovery thru fastboot..

Hi XDA

I have a new Go SMS Pro theme I wanted to share with you guys for free.

Here is the info from the market:

For use with Go SMS Pro version 5.0+

This is an minimal black and blue metro style theme for Go SMS Pro, based on Windows Phone 8. This is very faithful to the designs found on actual Windows phones.

I believe this to me the most accurate representation of the SMS experience for Windows8 phones on Android. Let me know what you think?

Here are some screenshots:

just had a go on it. it working pretty well. im testing it along side the dual-sim beta version of gosmspro. so far no bugs to report. but i would really be cool if you can remove the "go sms pro" on the top though and maybe replace it with "threads" or "conversation." :good:

Hi All,

Been lurking for a while and found this forum to be very informative.

Have been looking for audio out information for my M2000.

Essentially I want to know if the data connection at the bottom of the phone has any pins that carry audio information so that I can "modify" a cradle in order to connect my M2000 to my car stereo.

Think it would be awesome to have this device integrated into my stereo, I already have a carPC with wifi and am just working out Remote Amp over AdHoc to control the stereo at shows.

Cheers for any help

And i was wondering if theres a way to make it brighter, some kernel tweaks maybe, anyone know ?

download a kernel which supports colour editing like ak kernel or fancy.. and set the colours that you feel comfortable with.. screen brightness will be great :)

Hey everyone,

I bet most of you have read the Android Police article about the facelifted Roboto Fonts!

# If you haven't here's the link (it's a good read) : http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/06/29/typeface-teardown-roboto-gets-a-facelift-in-android-4-3/

Bottom line is, this font is noticeably cleaner and smoother in my eyes.

UPDATED FLASHABLE ZIP linked below.

Just download and flash in your custom recovery.

If you just wanna push the files to the folder, you can download the ZIP (not flashable) from the Android Police article (linked above).

This has only been tested on a Maguro device, and I would appreciate some confirmations on whether it's working on other devices as well. Thanks

Screenshots linked below..

** Note:: I HAVE seen the other Android 4.3 font pack, but that is different. That is the condensed version!

Good Job.

Can you include a tutorial for hiding this(or any other) app from app drawer as well ?

That'll be beneficial too. :D

Yes, definitely would be a plus..i wanna hide some apps from drawer too..like no frills shortcut with evo rom
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] CheckYourScreen:
if u wanna remov any app icon from app drawer then just decompile that app and edit its android manifest file..

you ll find this code

<category

android:name="android.intent.category

.LAUNCHER" />

just remove these lines and recompile and install that app..

and that app will get hide frm app drawer

Is it possible that this could just not work at some points? Tried while it was a normal app, even converted to system app and it just doesn't work.

And no, I haven't inserted the codes wrongly, a few weeks ago I did this without any problems but it just doesn't seem to work for a particular app. Any idea of the causes?

To get main activity, we can use holo launcher, so easy btw
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] blackbeard:
What? Can you explain?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] walutisme:
If you use Holo launcher, go to Home > add > shortcut > activity > then choose the app that you want see it main activity, choose it and you will see that main activity name, 1st of dropdown list. If you rom developer, you should know that OTA.apk have different main activity name

Edit : SS
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] blackbeard:
There's only one main activity, if you develop any app you should know this. Main activity is the first screen that you see once the app starts

Edit: in ota.apk, you see above, OTAUpdaterActivity is main activity, idk listfilesactivity, UpdaterAbout is the about screen, and you may guess what Contributors must be

[General Questions and Answers] rekyl:
I have a question regarding Sim Toolkit (STK). I'm using STK for verification purposes when logging into my bank. This has worked flawlessly on any Sammy based roms I've been using earlier, and don't think I've gotten it working ever on any CM roms I've tried.

I recently installed SentinelROMv. 4.8 on my Galaxy S2 international, and STK have not worked since then (I get a "Proactive command rejected by ME:4001). I'm not sure if this is a CM issue or Sentinel issue.

I really love the snappyness and feel of SentinelROM, and would hate to have to switch rom this time. However, no working STK is a dealbreaker for me.

Does anybody have any experience with this issue and can point me in the right direction for a fix?
[Droid Ultra General] alex94kumar:
Droid Ultra, Droid MAXX, Droid Mini, and last but not least, the Moto X!

The Moto X won't be a Droid on Verizon, since Motorola wants to keep it as close to a Nexus as possible.

My Droid 4 has been a workhorse, but I think either the Droid Ultra or Moto X will be my next phone.

Any thoughts on this?
[Droid Ultra General] StevePritchard:
My only thought is "No hardware QWERTY keyboards".

:(
[Droid Ultra General] alex94kumar:
Lol, probably should've expected that in this forum ;)

I understand that a qwerty keyboard is amazing, but I understand why many OEM's are ditching them to get thinner phones
[Droid Ultra General] StevePritchard:
I don't.

I don't see much in the moto lineup that is bringing anything new to the table in as far as the same sort of thing is available from Samsung, HTC, etc. If the Moto X could have a back cover you could remove, and attach a QWERTY keyboard slider instead, then I might be a bit more interested. Choosing the colour, or etching, or whatever? Big deal.
[Droid Ultra General] alex94kumar:
Well there are reports of Motorola dropping in a camera technology called 'Clear Pixel', something that's new to smartphones. If the Moto X doesn't impress, then I probably will be heading to the Droid Ultra
[Droid Ultra General] elektrosoundwave:
what's this about the double locked bootlaoders? Also, where's the qwerty?
[Droid Ultra General] Lum_UK:
If you're prepared to lose the hardware keyboard, may as well just get an HTC One or Galaxy S4 or something.

Personally I don't see the need for thinner and thinner phones. Whenever I handle my GF's Galaxy S3 I'm always afraid it will snap if I'm not really really careful with it.
[Droid Ultra General] robotnikman:
Also, thicker phone means bigger battery, and seeing how there is nothing in the near future that will allow us to squeeze more power into a smaller space, it would make sense

The battery is the biggest bottleneck in technology IMHO, whether it be phones, laptops, or even electric cars
[Droid Ultra General] add119:
I think with google buying motorola. I Dont feel like buy a new device anymore. So droid razr m and droid 4 are my last phone from them. It started in 2011 when google told motorola probably to lock the backdoor from their device with razr. Motorola took dedicated button for shutter camera unlike 2010. Last year it was probably because of google that moto choose to lock the sd card and micro sim card option in droid razr hd/maxx and m like the iphone like. Now this year no sd option.

Im not liking Google temparing with Moto as they are

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forcedairinduction:
Hi all. Yet again my n4 has wet itself, big time.

Thanks to Simms I got it going the last time by shutting down phone, waiting for charging graphic, then all was good.

This time, I can't turn on the phone for any length of time enough to turn off properly.

It reboots, google logo comes up, then phone shuts down again.

If I try and boot into recovery, same thing happens. Robot image appears for recovery mode, then before I can do anything it shuts down again, briefly shows charge animation then goes back to flashing red dot.

I left it plugged into mains charger for 6 hours, no change.

Is it dead????

Right. By getting into recovery mode and really quickly managing to shutdown, it showed charging animation, then it disappeared and red dot has stopped.

Tried to turn on again and briefly showed battery icon and start red dot flashing again : (
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
leave it on the charger for a while, then try again. i mean leave it on the charger for an hour or two before you try again.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forcedairinduction:
Thanks Simms. I left it on for 6 hours last night but still flashing red.

Now I can't manage to get to shut down in time before it powers off.

What worries me is that last time I had RLOD, I could still navigate around the phone while it was plugged into power..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
your phone probably thinks it has less then 0% battery. keep trying to get it into the bootloader so that you can power it off. try like 3-4 times in a row, then let it sit plugged in for some time and try again. you can always try the disconnect the battery then reconnect the battery method to fix rlod.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forcedairinduction:
Dare I say, it may be ok. This time it started, google logo came up. Waited for it to shut off but it continued to fully start.

Went to shutdown in power menu, phone switched off. Charging animation came on.

Sorted!!!!!
