Is it possible to turn off the light under the phone buttons?

Reg hack or any other way?

It would be nice to be able to turn them off when I watch a movie in the dark.

Hi

not long ago i rooted my htc one x and installed the viperX rom.

I'm new at this and i wanted to ask:

how i install the updated rom from OTA!?

(sorry for my bad english)

thanks.
[HTC One X] athulele:
If you're on 3.7.7 then go to Settings>About Phone>Software Update and tap Check for Update.

It'll be downloaded and installed automatically if you're on TWRP.
[HTC One X] xdaDevHTC:
re: athulele

Sorry i dont know what is TWRP.

I've already downloaded the zip file.

and the phone restarted to recovery mode.

The question is how I continue from there the installation?
[HTC One X] athulele:
After going in the recovery, if the installer doesn't start automatically then you'll have to do it manually.

Go to /sdcard/Downloads and flash the OTA File (ViperXOTA_3.7.7-3.7.8.zip)

You'll just have to press next in the installer.

P.S. -

TWRP - Team Win Recovery Project

Good Morning to you all!

Sorry if this has already been posted but I couldn't find much of anything on this topic. Does a "Google Edition" Rom exist for the EVO 4G LTE? I know we have the AOSP and AOKP roms but this is something I've wanted to ask for a while. I love the pure Google experience and I just have to wait about a year until i can upgrade to a new phone like a Nexus.

Thank you again for taking the the time to read this and for all the awesome work all you Developers put in for making this awesome phone even better.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
No. But the AOSP ROMs we have work fine. What's wrong with flashing one of them? They are essentially the same thing, except, well, better :confused:.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
I'm with you on that one. Not sure why anyone with knowledge of rooting (who doesn't mind a voided warranty) would want to buy a GE phone.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ZamoraDC:
I don't have any problem with any AOSP Rom other than signal and connectivity issues. But its really just curiosity for me and I'm a big fan of Google so the idea of having a Google Editon EVO sounds cool to me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Well it won't happen.

And aosp is just as much Google as a GE would be.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Imagine having a GE ROM that had added functionality and customizations. Then, go download one of our CM/AOKP/DU ROMs. - imagination realized.

Or, put another way, take one of our AOSP ROMs, strip away functionality and customization, and you have a GE ROM.

Is that what you're looking for?

Not trying to sound smart ass, totally sincere.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ZamoraDC:
What do you think would be a good solid AOSP Rom to either behave like a GE Rom or better I've only tried the CM Rom and the Xlyon Rom back and forth and couldn't get the feel I was looking for.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You could always try Evervolv. That's probably the closest to AOSP, that is, with the least customization.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CNexus:
Not true. Not trying to insult any devs in any way, but AOSP roms for anything other than a Nexus are hacked together using core binaries from other devices when necessary. There is never such a thing as a bug free AOSP Rom, except for a Google device and/or Google edition.

The Google edition roms on the other hand, were compiled by HTC for a device that they know in and out. Unfortunately, this is one of those times when "the vendor knows best", simply because of sheer resources and hardware documentation.

It would be possible to port the GE roms if you guys ported the GPE kernel and used that to port the rom, like Zarboz and newtoroot did for the DNA.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ZamoraDC:
How difficult is this to do?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CNexus:
I can't say.

For the DNA it was extremely simple (but zarboz is a boss so he would've gotten it anyway) since the two devices are almost identical (One and DNA).

But the fact that you guys have a 3.4.x official HTC kernel should help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xHausx:
You would be surprised at what shortcuts OEMs take too. :)

Just because they have the resources doesn't necessarily mean it's cost effective, or that their software engineers have the time, to redo everything from scratch for each device. It's usually much easier to make it for one and then adapt that copy for use on other devices. I actually found this site thanks to htc's sloppy implementation of hdmi on the original evo. According to them it was impossible to fix until Toastcfh and Netarchy did just that and rewrote their kernel from scratch (iirc).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xHausx:
If you think about it, this site probably wouldn't even exist if OEMs made good software. They often do have access to proprietary drivers and documentation, but most of that is slowly getting open sourced anyway.

That type of reasoning is a fallacy because more often then not OEMs are just too plain cheap to do things properly. They just need to hit their deadlines. So your only real options are to either buy a nexus device, or invest a little time in helping fix any issues that you may find.

Someone please correct me if I'm thinking of the wrong device, but I believe it was the htc TyTN2 where htc didn't even bother to include a fully functional display driver because they didn't want to pay the license for it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AerodynamicTrunks:
Have you ever used one of the IRC builds of cm10 or cm10.1? They're more stable and are more feature rich than the stock ROM that shipped with this device or any of the updates that they were gracious enough to let sense users download over the air. The 3.0 kernel was seriously stable, but the 3.4 kernel is (nearly as) stable _and_ leaves more RAM for your silly animation effects and whatever. It's based on the reference kernel for the chip set, if I'm not making an arse of myself. So pick a build. I know 1/16 was an awesome cm10, and like I said in another topic I had 191 hours uptime on the 7/23 cm10.1 before I rebooted to rule out the ROM when I was having data issues(it was the network) </rant>
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CNexus:
Not saying they are perfect and neither am I taking sides. But the fact of the matter is that AOSP is ported using binaries made for other devices and other hacks and so is nearly impossible to make it 100% compared to vanilla nexus roms. Issues are inevitable. And those same exact shortcuts you stated apply to and are no exception with AOSP ports like CM or evervolv. They also commonize (not a word, I know) as much as possible. They group devices like all the d2 and all the jflte, or even by processor like s4_common, etc under one common branch to make it easier for themselves to maintain.

I know I'm not gonna win here because of several things, namely being that I'm taking the "wrong" stance from the majority's point of view. But I just felt adding my 0.02 would help with the OP's original question.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fachadick:
Ha! That was my first smartphone! I first signed up on xda (under a different name) when that phone launched (I got it as the att tilt) so that I could run manila and then android on it! That display driver issue was so frustrating. Sorry for ot, but I haven't thought about that in ages.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xHausx:
It's not accurate to say the binaries are made for other devices when the devices are all basically the same. The MSM8960, for example, has it's own binaries, but the same chip is used in a range of devices from the Evo LTE, Blackberry Z10, One X (LTE), One XL, Windows Phone 8X, LG Mach, Moto Droid Razr M, Droid Razr, Razr Max, Atrix HD, Incredible HD, Xperia GX TL SX & V, Galaxy S III... the list goes on :)

The binaries all of those devices use were developed for the Qualcomm devkit I've linked below.

When you're working with a sense ROM versus an AOSP ROM there are many differences in not only appearance but the framework as well, but once you start getting down to the kernel level the hardware is all basically the same. Where we have the advantage over OEMs is that most companies know it's counterproductive and a waste of money to go after enthusiasts who borrow their binaries from one device to use on something else. If an OEM did that they would be sued in a heartbeat.

https://developer.qualcomm.com/mobile-development/development-devices/snapdragon-s4-msm8960-mdps

edit: probably actually this instead, but same difference: http://shop.intrinsyc.com/products/dragonboard-members-only

To digress back to the OP's original question though, the google edition One is basically just the one with AOSP on it. If you can find a pure AOSP ROM it'll be the exact same thing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ZamoraDC:
Thanks for the info I'm really thinking of seeing if i can try and make my own ROM and plus I've always wanted to do so hopefully it all goes well. I just don't wanna brick my phone in the process hahaha. Do you guys think trying to build off of the HTC One GE rom and convert it over to the EVO or use an EVO based AOSP ROM? Thanks again for all the help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Why don't you just build AOSP? You can use the CM kernel and pull the relevant vendor files from an existing AOSP ROM (or find an up-to-date github with them).

That way you don't have to worry about having the extra customizations, but you'll still have a kernel built from Qualcomm source along with the ROM.

Searched for a bit and didn't find this being asked before......so, when I go to settings>display>soft key illumination and select "stay on always", they only work for a few hours to a day or so and then I notice that they are back off. I have to toggle the setting to get them back on. Does anyone experience this?? Any solutions known?? I am running 4.1.2 Infamous 3.0 rom (but can't post there......yet:cyclops:) Thanks, in advance, Cheers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
It may be is just not setting at boot, do u notice if it happens when u reboot or is it just random?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mad4some:
It's definitely not tied to reboot because when "all is well" I might not reboot for a week or more. My gut feeling is that it's rom related, but posted here to see if any stock users may have experienced this. I'll probably PM [MENTION=729357]Jamison[/MENTION] and ask him or post in the rom thread (now that I have 10 posts-Yeah!!). :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
Well OK then, but bln (back light notification) is kernel related, not rom, but yeah go pm Jameson and ask him lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gen10:
Hi my sisters s3 won't turn ln . she said it charged and the. She tried charging it and it never charged or responded to buttons so she thought it was a bad plug.its been days since then and nothing only thing I can do is plug it in without a battery then the red led.comes up but it can't turn on and I've tried my battery and hers both are good. I'm pretty sure we still have 1 yr warranty from TMobile only thing is the screen is cracked and has been cracked way before the incident. So what should I do thanks and I also couldn't get it into recovery or download mode and also the water sensor stickers are still white so no water damage.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Im honestly not sure how the screen will affect the chance of a warranty exchange. Was the device ever rooted? Any roms or mods flashed to it? Was it a T999? Your country is listed as Lithuania is why I ask. Also I've heard about a sudden death issue with the international models. (Doesnt affect the T999 though).

Doesn't sound like you have many options available, so you may just want to try sending it in under warranty anyway, and hope for the best.

If it had been rooted and this happened after a flash, it could be bricked due to flashing the wrong devices rom/mod. If this is the case then you'd need a jtag repair. Otherwise, as I stated above, warranty exchange may be your only choice.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
The only effect it'll have it seems they'll say the drop killed the phone instead of it being the dead s3 thing that has been going on with a small amount if S3's. Your only hope is to try and get into download mode (volume down home and power) if that's a no go then its warranty replacement/insurance hopefully. That or purchasing a new phone. :(

Hi i need overclock kernel for CM 10.1. I have SDcard class 4. Please help me :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] limnaln:
Hi there mate,i have a class 4 sd card too, you can use jarvis, pandora kernels, but i recommend you aries kernel which has the best performance (for me). Hope i helped you :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Mister_Magister:
Thanks but i will not have lags? Pandora have lags on 600MHz. When i use jaggyRom on 600MHz i not have lags. When i use setcpu and i set 900MHz the phone reboot why?. I need more MHz because i record video on YouTube
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] limnaln:
I havent got any lags with Aries kernel on 828 mhz i think, and yes, your pico reboots cause you have class 4 sd card and the class 4 supports upto 828-868 mhz. I dont know why but class 4 sd cards just dont support 878 and 900 mhz, its freakin' weird but the pll2 method its created that way :/

EDIT: Dont say thanks, just hit the THANKS button under any post that helped you "so i can become more famous, MUHAHAHA :D"

What does the OC in kernels? What is this?

I will test it when make Gapps to CM 10.1
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] limnaln:
The oc kernels make your device's cpu overclockable, the aries kernel is a kernel posted in original android development for pico and why would you make gapps for cm10.1 it already has xD
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Mister_Magister:
I no making i wait for gapps.

The gapps for CM 10.1 not exist

Unofficial Thread
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Mister_Magister:
Do you have gapps for CM 10.1?

Your english is a little confusing but you will get it, here's a link for gapps cm10.1 http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390248398092763478, i've tested it and its working :)

EDIT: Download cm10.1 latest build that you've posted and flash gapps. You can even use oc kernel if you want great performance.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Mister_Magister:
I come from Polish Thank you very much

I must install kernel after CM or earlier? Gapps last?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Mister_Magister:
what kernel i have to get? OC or no-OC?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] limnaln:
Order: cm -> gapps -> kernel, you can use the aries non-oc kernel given in cm10.1 build 5 or you can use aries oc kernel, make your choise and feel free to give me questions. ;)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Mister_Magister:
Thanks
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Mister_Magister:
When i use OC kernel i have laags. When i use NO-OC i will not have lags?

When i set 878 the phone reboot and reboot and i have to reinstall rom. Why?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] limnaln:
I dont have lags with aries oc - 828 mhz, lulzactive or smartassv2, and it reboots cause class 4 sd cards dont support 878 and 900 mhz.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Mister_Magister:
Can you anserw the question??
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] limnaln:
Usually with oc kernel you'll have better performance and less lags, with non-oc you will have more lags, try both if not sure or use aries oc kernel with min freq 122 mhz and max 600 mhz = non-oc, min freq 122 mhz and max 822 mhz = oc.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Mister_Magister:
I must use OC if i want 822? NO-OC have max 600MHZ?

____________________________________________________

When i use jaggyrom i set 320MHz and i don't have lags. When i use cM 10.1 and aries i have lags.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] limnaln:
Yes, thats right ;)

I dont know, jaggyrom is with android 2.3.5, this is 4.2.2, older = smoother but with the new pll2 oc method by cute_prince it shouldn't have lags.

Do you make the 2 partitions, order SD-DATA(1gb)->SD-CACHE(60-70 mb)?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] akshaychauhan:
You have to flash cm then gapps and at last kernel. Hit thanks if I helped you:D:p
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] limnaln:
I dont wanna be rude but next time check the thread, ive already told him the order for installing rom, gapps and kernel.:mad:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Mister_Magister:
I agree :) I have 1 partion 512MB. I must create 1 partion 1GB and 1 swap partion?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] limnaln:
I'm gonna say it again Partition order: SD-DATA(1 GB) -> SD-CACHE (60-70 MB) and i dont recommend swap partition. You have to create the partitions - 1-st sd-cache and then sd-data and you should name them that way.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Mister_Magister:
Can i make this partion in recovery? I have this recovery. This may be CWM i dont know.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Mister_Magister:
And is a method to more baterry saving? When i play 1 hour the batery is very very hot. This may broken my baterry. May when i install old version CM the baterry saving will be more? The peformace is vegy good but the battery worried. Sorry for my eanglish
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] limnaln:
No you have to make the partitions from your computer with a program called minitool partition wizard and you also need a card reader for your micro sd card, the recoveries can do only 1 partition i think and its ext3, you need 2 ext4 partitions. If you want to save battery better use cm9 build 9, with memory script and 1 partition, can do it in recovery :)

EDIT: Here's one method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2093542
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Mister_Magister:
Thanks. When i use CM 9 with aries kernel i will have the same peformace? I don't have card reader and i know what is minitool partition wizard. MAy i don't change CM i like this peformace :) but anserw the question
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Mister_Magister:
When i use CM 9 with aries kernel i will have the same peformace? And how large partion i need?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Mister_Magister:
Can you answer
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] limnaln:
Aries kernel is for cm10.1 only, for cm9 the best kernel is Pandora R3 without partitioning and you can make your partition as big as you want.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Mister_Magister:
I'll stay with CM 10.1 and 1 parion 512 :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RipRip:
Hello

I'm trying to keep this whole process simple. I have searched a lot threads and I find snippets of info that are helpful but I do tend go on wild goose chases and end up lost in the wilderness.

I have rooted my phone using CASUAL and that worked. What an awesome little package that is! So far I have made a nandroid backup using TWRP and also using Orange Backup and I feel pretty comfortable with moving on to flashing a custom ROM. Like I said I want to keep this simple and love my new ROM and keep it forever because flashing scares me a little.

So what I'd like to understand better is how to manage my nadroids. Where should I store them? I tried using Orange backup to move it to Dropbox but it says "zip failed".

Should I suck it up and buy an sd card? I don't really want to do that because I have terrible OCD and it'll take me a week just to figure out which one is best and blah blah.

Oh, I also have Nandroid Manger I just don't know how to use it so any help with that would be appreciated as well.

Hopefully with all this info someone could get an idea where I am in this exciting world of android and guide me in the right direction.

Please allow to apologize in advance for any faux pas I may have committed in creating a new thread and getting a little too big for my britches:D

Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbqsfire:
I keep a backup on my phone, keep them on a sd card, and then keep them on my Dropbox account. I flashed a lot so I like them backed up multiple places. I would recommend a sd card but that is my personal preference. Never used nandroid manager but one people that do and like it.

Hi All,

My 10 y.o. son changed the lockscreen password on his Kindle Fire 2 HD 7" and is now unable to access. He has used all but 2 of the allowed unlock attempts, and is now 2 tries away from an automatic factory reset. The device has all stock settings, has not been rooted nor any other modifications. I'm trying to figure out if there is anything I can do to crack/read/reset the lockscreen PIN / password with the device in its current state, or if a factory reset is the only option? The big issue is he does not want to lose his game save data. I work in IT, and am very comfortable with both Linux & Windows command line tools. Is it possible for me to access the files on his Kindle, or to perform root modifications while unable to get past the lock screen password? I have read many posts on this forum, but cannot find one which speaks to my specific situation. Thanks in advance for any replies!

Thanks for the link; I am not sure if USB Debugging / Enable ADB is enabled on this Kindle Fire HD device. If it is not, will this approach work? Since the lock screen password is unknown, I am not able to go into the device & check/modify this setting.

The YouTube video is not of practical use, since I am trying to avoid having to perform a factory reset.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
No, the instructions there assume you have debugging enabled AND your computer is added to the list of authorized computers (on the device) to send adb commands. That's a nice little security feature Google added recently to prevent stolen devices from being hacked into ;)
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] danimal71:
Thanks, so if I'm reading this correctly - if I am unable to connect via ADB, I have no option except for the factory reset? Am I able to root the device while the lock screen password is unknown, or would that process also be blocked to me? The factory reset is easy enough, and I know we can reinstall his games, apps, and books - but the big problem (for my son at least!) is that he will lose all of his Dragonvale progress save data!
