[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vhaines:
Hi,

Have spent a great deal of time browsing through the site, and trying out some of the ROMs. Which has led me to the following...

The Company I work for has deployed a large number of XDA-II's (Himalaya), and we've encountered a number of reliability problems with them, not to mention users unable to keep the devices charged.

The consequences of these problems are: 1) Lost software installs and 2) Extra support time.

We've also found the O2 active UI to be a right royal pain in the ar5e!

So, having been playing around with ROMs, I have an idea of what is possible. But, to date, I've just not been able to find exactly the ROM I'm looking for. I'm quite happy to sit down and try and figure things out for myself, but it's quite difficult to try and find a good chunk of spare time.

So, here's the point of my message.

If I can identify the components I need to be installed within a "special edition" cooked ROM, would someone be able to help me build it? I'm basically looking for WM2003SE, so that the screen can be flipped into landscape - or a third-party progam to do that, a wireless email client that I will provide, backup software that I will provide, all the usual hardware stuff (BT, camera etc), no O2 UI (Hoorah!), and maybe one or two other packages, and as much storage/memory available as possible, and, of course, the ability to add a splashscreen. That's it - nothing too out of the ordinary. All of the additional software will be licensed.

So, that's my idea. What do you get in return? Well, I'm more than happy to donate to the site, and, come to some arrangement with anyone that is interested in helping - perhaps some hardware/software etc.

This would save me a lot of time, and be quite an interesting project - to see so many devices get a decent upgrade, and one that helps reduce support overheads.

Please PM me if you are interested.

Thanks.

Vince
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rictec:
well you can

select the win2003se rom you want and put the rest in a cooked extended rom that was what i did i put all cabs i needed in extended rom if the device gets hard reset it will install everything there

the config file must have the names of course

you can get some of the setting there too like operator settings

you can allways donate to xda-developes....lol

PS ...i m not part of xda-developers or in any way associated with them just a user who is glad they existed.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Savetheknot:
I am new to my S4. I recently updated my PRL to 55015 and now I can barely get 4G signal anywhere. I am even roaming sitting in my living room. Is this a common issue? Or is Sprint throttling now? Am I totally off with my understanding of PRL.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] autoprime:
unlikely that PRL would be the cause. You're stil connecting to the same towers. Perhaps they are still in the process of upgrading your area... which would cause network outages. PRL doesnt set any throttle or anything.. simply tells the phone what set of towers(SID) to connect to. Whatever your PRL was before the update was pointing to the same towers the current PRL is using.

Often the only changes in PRL updates are roaming towers in select areas which don't effect 95% of the rest of users. Other changes could add/remove scanning of 800SMR.. and that wouldn't cause what you are experiencing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gancuimian:
Hi, recently I found the GPS on my Galaxy Nexus refuse to lock properly.

I used maps for years, and the locating seems good enough (it seems that these locations are from wifi or other source now).

Recently I installed an app to track my route, which really needs true GPS, and the problem began.

Every morning, when I go from my home to work, the GPS just not work at all (no lock). Sometimes it works when I leave home, but minutes later, it lost lock and never gets back during the whole route (even after I reboot the phone and clear the AGPS data with GPS Test). After I got to the workplace, and tried again, the GPS is still not working.

What's surprising me is the GPS works fine when I leave from my work pace and head to my home in the afternoon. It locks fast and works well all the way. (This is the same route in the morning)

The same problem happens for several days (bad in the morning, good in the afternoon).

With GPS Test (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest), I notice the phone really gets a lot of satellites(>9) with good signals, but somehow none of them are used to calculate my location (they are all grey in GPS Test's satellite view).

Does anyone have any idea what's the problem and how to fix it?

The phone is stock android 4.3 unrooted.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gancuimian:
The attached file is the screenshot of GPS Test this morning.

PS. the gps works great at noon, have no idea why it refuse to work every morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slatsmckracker:
I have a similar problem, when I leave work from a particular exit my gps doesn't find anything for quite a while, where as if I leave from another it gets it straight away.

The only thing I can think of is there are lots of buildings and roofs around that first exit, where as the second one is straight into a carpark. Maybe there is too much interference when you leave home, but not work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gancuimian:
The thing is when I leave home at night, the GPS works well, but not in the morning. On the other hand, when I arrival at work, the GPS still not working, but it works at noon.

I try to figure if the timing is the problem. For example, if much more interference in the morning or the satellites decide not to communicate with me at that time?

As you can see in my attachment, it actually found a lot of satellites, but no data received from any of them. Don't know why, and never noticed before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slatsmckracker:
Have you checked/changed the server you use for gps? I had to change mine from US to oceania (depends where you are) at one point and that seemed to help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] A30N:
Great idea, I never would have thought of that on my own! I normally use FasterFix from the Play Store to set the GPS server to US. After the first day, locks were very slow and inacurate, and by the second day, I stopped getting locks altogether. I tried flashing back to stock, still didnt work. Then i came across your post, and after setting it to Oceania, I got a lock in under 10 seconds. Many thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nexus_Prime:
Thank you!!!

Hello stranger,

I signed up to this forum just to reply to your post. I recently installed Paranoid Android 4.4 (final build) on my Gnex and GPS was not working at all (would show 0/0 satellites, sometimes 1 or 2, but NEVER lock). Where as previously on PA-3.99 it was fine. After scouring the internet for the last two days and trying anything that didn't involve me wiping, reflashing, etc. your post single handedly saved me from doing any of the extreme measures. I just went to download faster fix, but then stumbled upon fasterGPS. This app, using lovely root access (yay root!), allowed me to set my NTP to North America and then Canada. Now my GPS works perfectly! Thank you again so much!
[HTC One X] m.wheatley:
Where do i start, i had my screen replaced because it was cracked by a local company, it worked ooook after but then the crashes started occuring, mostly just now and again and app unforttunately not responding, then i found out my bottom mic is broken...

I have rooted my phone and started installing roms and some have worked better than others but after a day or 2 they all crash again, mainly gapps errors.. "com.process.gapps not working" but everything stops, a constant stream of apps crash... even if i dont install gapps on a rom it crashes cos of acore instead..

Is there anything i can do other than throwing it in the bin :(

Just try this Rom, everything are smooth. However, one thing I'm notice is "data roaming " is change back to old one,

I mean before flash this Rom, I have option to choose "national" or "international " roaming.

There is a way to get this option back?
[Xperia Z General] Tungstwenty:
I don't know if it's possible.

In Portugal there's no national roaming (small country), so I guess that behavior might be different depending on which country's ROM variant you use.

I'd suggest you try another 10.3.1.A.0.244 ROM (there are several available) if you need national roaming.

Unfortunately that lag is quite normal for the stock TF700. A 'must have' imo on this tablet is to unlock and install CROMi-X. Difference of night and day......
[Asus Transformer TF700] sgkla:
+1 on tf700 noobness - I've been reading up on everything about unlocking, custom roms, kernels, tweaks, etc. My biggest question thus far is with regard to CROMI-X (mind you I've never used any variant of clean rom), should I install the odex or the deodex versions? There is a minimal likelyhood I will do any of my own theming because I just don't have the time. Thanks.

EDIT: my assumption is the odex version.
[Asus Transformer TF700] daemonios:
I can't speak for CROMi-X since I never unlocked (if you do, note that you lose any manufacturer warranty apart from those the law gives you, e.g. in the EU). But I'm on 4.2.2, rooted, locked, and the only app that gives me considerable lag is Chrome. Some office apps were unusable due to lag, but I moved to a new one and that problem's gone. So I'd say it's a mix of stock OS shortcomings and low-quality apps.

Enjoy your new toy!
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
That's what I go with... Although the difference is miniscule. It doesn't really matter which one you choose.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Personally I go with the odex version. What I notice is the deodex version tends to slow down after a few days (all deodex ROMs seem to have this issue). Enjoy ;)

it is stored in /cache/<actual update>.zip

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] yah00z:
You can do the OTA update with an unlocked bootloader you just need stock rom and stock Recovery. Or at least in my case I just restored my stock rom in twrp. Then flash stock Recovery. Do the update. Then I flashed twrp again did a backup and restore my modaco switch backup.

One thing related to both these cradles: they have a RJ45 connector so you can attach a wired GPS reciever to the cradle which should feed the GPS data into the phone through the USB charging connector. Apparently this doesn't work for the Jam - I'm wondering why not....
