[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g0rge:
Personally...as long as google keeps releasing decent nexus devices as time trickles by...I'll never buy another carrier phone again...got tired of having to buy a new phone just to get a software update.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IPxSynergy:
I love nexus. I really do, but the screen size and battery life is seriously lacking for me. If the next Nexus device comes out soon and I can choose between the Note 3 and Nexus 5, I will consider Nexus depending on screen and battery life.

I'm not sure what to do about buying the Note though. I love not having a contract. I might buy it unlocked and spend the crazy dollars, but I don't want to. A lot is on my mind about it. All I know is the Note 2 is a better phone than the Nexus 4 in most ways and I'd rather have a 2 day battery life and more screen real estate.

how about Eternity Kernel? It supports OTG.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] DidierDrigbi:
Yeah, Eternity Project supports USB OTG, but it is very unstable for now. Well, I tried it twice and my phone just rebootet, moreover Eternity Kernel as a whole is unusable, because there are a lot of bugs. Hopefully, we will get them fixed :).

So, I got jealous of how sexy the nexus 4 looked with a skin...so, I bought the bumper case and a carbon fiber skin from skinit ($15.98 with coupon) and I must say, it looks pretty damn nice. I have it installed on top of an xtremeguard screen protector and there's no peeling. The buttons aren't noticeably hard to press either. Love the texture too. What do you guys think?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
Looking good! Now just throw on the SuperNexus ROM and you'll really have yourself a Nexus 4 :D

Side note: my personal opinion, but for a more Nexus 4 feel I'd take the front skins off and just leave the back on. Unless the front display on the Nexus 4 is patterned, too
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
That's exactly what I was thinking. I turned off the backlights on the capacitive buttons too. If only I could etch "nexus" in the back lol
[Sprint LG Optimus G] gentlemenace:
If it wasn't for the pattern it would be be a really discreet case. Still looks great though! :good:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] PartimusPrime:
I like it man... Looks pretty sexy! What ROM you running? I noticed you have that ics lockscreen.

"Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing" - Optimus Prime
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
That could be the Vectus AOSP theme. I know that that put on the ICS lockscreen when flashed. Or it could be Holo Locker as well.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
Terrence got it right. I'm running stock with holo locker and apex launcher with all the sprint and lg apps hidden. Oh and Google play camera and Google keyboard
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
Lol the pattern is the whole point of the skin.

Just letting u know, I'm gonna be doing the exact same thing with my lgog, cf skin and bumper. LoL. I managed to pick up a lgog second hand for the cheap as a spare phone, has a cracked back. So when I saw this thread, instantly said imma copy his setup :p

P.s. if anyone has a bumper they wanna sell, hmu.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coach4094:
I have a stock KFHD 7" that is stuck in the boot loop. I have a factory cable and am trying to complete the process outlined here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1951254

The problem is that the Kindle shows it is in fastboot and withing 2-5 seconds shuts down. In that 2-5 seconds I can see it in the Device Manager but it then disappears as it shuts down. It should be charged as it has been plugged in for 4-5 hours. Any ideas what I can try to fix the problem?

FYI... I already received a replacement Kindle from Amazon. They did not seem to want this one back so I thought I would try to get it working.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] south956:
Try Kindle Fire First Aide....backup all partitions from new kindle into kindlebackup folder and then on old device put restore from kindlebackup folder.....it should work even to the worst of bricks, trust me I know because this kindle I'm using now was bricked to the point where partitioning would fail as soon as it booted up.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Just curious, did this happen after trying to flash 2nd boot loader? I am just curious since your device shuts off after going into fast boot, seems almost like a boot loader malfunction. Usually when I see this problem of fast boot shutting off it also follows with "my PC starts detecting an omap4470 device" but you said yours will still boot into boot loops normally so this is weird. At least its not detecting an omap4470 device.

Thought I'd mention u can try what south956 mentioned, but personally I have my doubts if fast boot won't stay on more than a few seconds, it would take a lot longer than that to reflash the system image since its a few hundred mb. I suggest flashing the boot(aka the kernel) and maybe the boot loader, but if it shuts off in the middle of the boot loader flash you would most likely have a fancy doorstop. Until I know more I would follow south956's instructions and see how it goes, because as I said your situation is a bit weird to me.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coach4094:
Thanks, I'll look into Kindle Fire First Aide
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coach4094:
The kindle was original from the factory and I had not tried to install anything or root it. I'll see what I can do with Kindle First Aid and then look into just trying to flash the boot. I'm not holding my breath since it will not stay on for long.

Thanks for the help guys, but I'm throwing in the towel. I just can't keep the kindle on long enough to get anything accomplished.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Yea this is one of those situations where I would use Linux to try to fix your problem, it loads up devices a lot faster than windows, because it just loads up a module as soon as then device is connected. Because of the faster response time it might be possible to flash. This thread seems very similar to another thread I have been helping with, except his shows up as a omap4470 device about 5 seconds after fast boot comes up then disappears. If your interested in taking a look here's the link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2314715

The thing that's weird in these situation is I think the boot loader partition might be screwed up, which is what would cause fast boot to not want to stay running, from what I understand fast boot mode is stored in the bootloader. So since u already have another kindle, then I guess this isn't as risky, because if u brick it you already have another. What I was saying in the other thread is to try and flash the bootloader in Linux before the device shuts off, now this is risky because if it shuts off mid-flash u have a nice paperweight. Luckily though the bootloader is very small, think its around 8mb, so as long as you are on USB 2.0, then it should flash rather quickly.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicDisaster:
My girlfriend got a PPC flashed epic4g about 6mo ago or so from the mall here locally.... everything worked except mms, which after following the instructions on howardforums, I got that issue solved... Well yesterday she couldn't download mms and nothing I tried would work... I held home to see the list of recent apps and the settings were open... so I looked and the update prl/ profile screen under settings was open... I'm assuming she tried to update the PRL or Profile but now NO DATA will work... She's still getting text and data but under roaming(also why I'm assuming the PRL was effed with) .... So the basic jist of it is ... no data now of any kind.... it will intermittently show the 3g symbol and the connection state says connected or gets stuck on connecting with no 3g symbol.... Does the PRL have anything to do with data working? I know you can't get 3g without a donor phone and temporary cloning but data no longer works at all not even 1x... can you help? I'm at the library for lack of internet at home so the quicker the better lol

Hey all,

I rooted my Kindle Fire HD months and months ago and it seems as if a lot of stuff has changed. My kids have had it and deleted and messed with the files so I'm not even sure what state it's in now.

My question is, what's the best way to get to an absolute stock install of the Fire HD and then where should I go from there?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] south956:
As long as you have fast boot cable, you can use the kindle restore tool or my personal favorite Kindle Fire First Aide. The restore tool is a basic restore tool vs. KFFA is a more customizable one that includes things like restore to 7.2.3 and disabling ota, also you can save a personal partition for future bricks. I had a complete bricked kindle( it said "partition failed" as soon as it booted) and nothing I tried fix it but Kindle Fire First Aide.

Script mgr says I'm not root, despite me in a root terminal elsewhere. wtf ?? ...

I'm not root in script mgr., even though I'm showing up as root in terminal.

I've installed Super user (chains sd ), just in case the App doesn't support my other Supersu App or similar.

I've utilised the su icon and run.

I did tick run as executable.

No reboot tried.

What am I missing ??

You must to select root when start on script mgr, you have skull head with crossed bones :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Steve Eligoyo:
Steps to complete failure: Page 96 ?? ...

Here are the steps I've taken to get kicked in the teeth:

Boot phone > menu > script mgr. > start > scroll to file (in this case bb _install.sh ) > open file > tick su ( tried boot and bgr several times, nada amigo ) as instructions state > run > unexpected oper error: your not root > rinse and repeat sixty times > open terminal > su > Works just fine > Post my question on xda in the WTF Thread

Update:

After creating the directories and files needed to make this train wreck into a working setup, (obviously a few are missing here, working on it), I reopened script mgr and browsed the file system, which shows bb _install.sh file (and the other two in this

Thread as well) with the green su skull and crossbones with the boot dot next to those skulls, yet the apps shell /console says oper error - Your not root.

Again, I open terminal, su > enter > Viola!, I'm root.

I've installed the sdcard v. of script mgr as well and I get a message stating /data/system/xbin does not exist.

I'll likely need to tweak the script mgr settings to /sdcard 0/externalsd /directory bind /system /xbin/bb _install.sh - something like that.

Still doesn't explain why the app is putting the brakes on root terminal in the nag screen.

Any ideas ??

MAN THANK YOU !!!! as a noob i couldn´t get init.d to work right. so i tried your script on the xperia z3c with stock 4.4.4

to make it compatible with z3c you need to edit the file /data/boot-buddy.sh after the installation

and replace both

/boot_buddy_scripts/

with

/storage/emulated/legacy/boot_buddy_scripts/

or

/storage/sdcard1/boot_buddy_scripts/

or another prefered location

then make a new folder boot_buddy_scripts in the location.

really it executes the scripts way before the apps are starting , this is so nice and will be on my phones from now on !

edit: i also now changed the log file creation to the sd card for quick access (most filebrowsers open there by default)..

the logfile is major awesome btw if something didn´t go right , its easy to debug , thanx alot again

I got my CC today, and tried using the native file explorer in Chrome, which unfortunately sucks. I downloaded Plex media server, set up it quickly, and cast the tab I had it open in to my TV....Works like a charm, and I'm pleasantly surprised at how nice and neat Plex is. I think it's definitely the better of the two options, and only took about 15 minutes to set up.

OK. My desktop is even older, Pentium Dual-Core E5300 @ 2.60 GHz. That might meet the cutoff for standard def but unlikely for high-def. I guess I will find out.

And it turns out that Google says streaming video from a Chrome tab in Windows XP is not supported. All my laptops are still on XP and single-core... cause I stopped using my laptops regularly when iOS/Android came to prominence and never bought a new one.

This thing is awesome! I'm sitting at work and decided 'f it I'm going to try this thing out'. So I set up my HTC VIEW (the 4g version of the Flyer tablet) and had it run as a wifi hot spot. I connected my laptop to it and plugged the chromecast into one of the TVs we have in my office. I installed the Google Cast extension to chrome, set up the chromecast and was ready to go. Next I opened a new tab, dragged over an episode of Futurama and hit cast. With about a 1/2 second delay from when I hit play it started playing on the TV. Once it started playing it had zero lag and it worked flawlessly. Frankly I'm impressed.

On your PC in Chrome (u will want the Chromecast extension too)

[Google Chromecast] Evo4gLI:
I use the Plex Web app, and just cast that tab to the Chromecast. I never used Plex before today, so I don't know in-depth instructions for you unfortunately. I downloaded it, and it just automatically set up for me. All I did was pick the folders where my media is located, let it set up, and then cast that tab to the device. Simple as that for me. Hope this helps.

this is most likely due to the file using dts or dd audio. i remuxed a 720p h.264 .mkv to use AAC audio instead of dts and it plays fine in a chrome tab.
