[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sesiom316:
Hi guys. I need help with my I9505. Here's what I did.

1. Two week ago, I upgraded my phone to Official GLOBE Philippines XXUBMG5.

2. Also rooted the phone using chainfire's method-->CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505

3. Today, I flashed Official Stock ROM XXUBMG5, I dunno why, I just want to get rid of the GLOBE Philippines boot sequence.

4. After rebooting, the phone goes to recovery.

5. I wiped data and cache partition. No luck.

6. Re-flash Official GLOBE Philippines XXUBMG5 again. The phone is still in recovery mode. Tried few times. No luck.

Recovery mode displays this:

Android system recovery <3e>

Option list for reboot system, wipe data & partition, etc.

#Manual Mode#

-- Applying Multi-CSC...

Applied the CSC-code : GLB

Successfully applied multi-CSC

Also a dead Android mascot is in the background.

Please help. Thanks guys. :'(

sounds to me you need a usb jig to force to download mode and then reinstall stock in odin.

but first remove battery, let sit for 5 minutes and try enter download mode (vol down + power)

if not work, congratulations, you have yourself a brick and can now become a freemason :D
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tagg:
Hi all,

My girlfriend's kindle would not unlock with the simple swipe, so I decided to dig into the world of fastboot, adb, FFF and TWRP in order to basically reset the device with stock and see if that would restore the touch screen.

I got as far as TWRP install, and copy the update.zip to \sdcard... but when I boot into TWRP none of the buttons respond to touch.

Does this mean the screen is broken? Or is there still some way to update the system via fastboot/adb?

I'm on Windows 8, with a Kindle 1st gen. Any help really appreciated, as I'm trying to win gf points here..!

Thanks, -Tagg

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cuibuaa:
I find that there is a function onKeyShortCut in every View Component, but when I read the SDK document, I find that the function can only be trigger by the function setShortcut in menuitem component, is there any other way to trigger this event, for example, through send a keyEvent.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cuibuaa:
Solution to the keyShortcut

After I check the souce code of the android platform, I find that when a keyEvent happened, the event passed to ViewRoot before to the windows, and then the windows pass it to the child component in the, and finally to the Activity. From the code in ViewRootImpl.java, I find the condition to trigger this event.

if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN

&& event.isCtrlPressed()

&& event.getRepeatCount() == 0

&& !KeyEvent.isModifierKey(event.getKeyCode())) {

if (mView.dispatchKeyShortcutEvent(event)) {

finishInputEvent(q, true);

return;

}

}

It means if a KeyEvent includes Ctrl keycode, repeatCount = 0, and no other function keys, it will deliver it to the View component. So I make a KeyEvent like the following

KeyEvent keyevent_parse = new KeyEvent(System.currentTimeMillis(),System.currentTimeMillis(),KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN,KeyEvent.KEYCODE_V,0,KeyEvent.META_CTRL_MASK);

Then it works, you can use this to release a parse function to any textView component.
[HTC Droid DNA] cpc28655:
I tend to be a bit old-school when it comes to my home screen. Back in the day, I was a fan of windows mobile 6.1, and I developed a fondness of the layout. What widgets would you recommend that would bring me as close to that look as possible. I'm not really concerned about the top and bottom bars, just the screen itself.

I don't want this to turn into a thread about how windows mobile sucks. Yes, I liked it. Some days I miss my old PPC-6800.

Will this nexus 10 get the dual view app option like the s3? I know the Samsung note 10.1 has a similar version of it. Will nexus 10 get this?
[Nexus 10 General] sidthegreatest:
Google might introduce something like that in the next Android revision, but as of now, it isn't in AOSP.
[Nexus 10 General] Rirere:
Apples to oranges. Multiwindow is a Touchwiz-framework customization. You may as well be comparing different operating systems given how different Touchwiz can be at times.

As said, we may eventually see one, but it won't come through Samsung.
[Nexus 10 General] realfncool:
Fair enough I guess I assumed it was an android feature and since nexus at 4.3 I assumed it would be there

Nope. I think Samsung introduced multiwindow a while back anyway. Wasn't it in 4.1?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rqmok:
OK. I have been trying for days and I still cannot succeed. My CM10 ROM cannot play videos anymore!

Here is what happens:

- I got to gallery

- I select a video

- I play the video with stock video player

- Then all I see is black screen

I have been trying to fix this issue for days, but I cannot seem to find a solution. I don't know what I have done wrong. But, I think that I have somewhere deleted a decoding file.

I am using OMX decoders and encoders from Aurora ICS, and I have also added this CFLAG to BoardConfig.mk:

COMMON_GLOBAL_CFLAGS += -DQCOM_ICS_DECODERS -DQCOM_NO_SECURE_PLAYBACK

But still I get black screen. In logcat, I get EGL_BAD_PARAMETER logs. I have also updated kgsl and adreno drivers in kernel, but still no difference.

My head is going wild because of this, which is why I am here to ask for help.

By the way, I am using official EGL drivers from Qualcomm.

I think that I am missing a library, so can someone please provide me a full list of the libraries needed for OMX decoding?

If you want to have a look at my vendor tree then here it is: http://github.com/rqmok/android_vendor_huawei_u8800

Thanks.

EDIT: This is what I get in logcat:

W/Adreno200-EGL( 128): : EGL_BAD_PARAMETER

I've been using PegasusQ as recommended. But with CoCore 8.2 after the first screen off/on PegasusQ disable cpu1 and only one single cpu is running all the time (in this case the cpu0). It can be verified with next shell script:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

0​

I though that PegasusQ will enable the cpu1 after the screen is turned on again or during high use but it seems that its not the case which means that I'm using my phone as single core processor all the time.

Then I decided to use smartassv2 as both cpus are running.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelthomastr:
Hello everybody. You're my last hope! ;)

Here's my situation: I bought a second hand Note a year back, and it's suddenly done a hard brick on me. So hard my computer can't even see it when I use the USB data cable.

I'd rooted it with CWM, flashed a custom JB ROM, and had been using Link2SD to shift some non-essential apps to a secondary partition and free up some system space. Although all the above came with their hiccups, I'd been using the phone without a hitch for about a week when "it" happened.

Today I pick it up and it has the "Galaxy Note N7000" welcome screen, which disappears when I hold down the power button. After that, nothing. Nothing from the power button, nothing from the power button+menu button+volume up. Nothing when I replace the battery with my fully charged spare. Nothing when I plug it in to charge, nothing when I connect it to the PC. No warning, nothing. Out of the blue, just like that.

After a bit of online rummaging I think I need a JTAG fix, something like "Samsung Galaxy Note - JTAG Brick Repair Service (Debricking/Unbrick/Brick FIX)" by MobileTechVideos on Youtube (I'd paste a link, but this site). Problem is, I'm all the way out here in Turkey. What would you suggest?

Thank you in advance.

PS: I'm struck by how all this makes you appreciate the simpler things in life. Like your father-in-law's little old beat-up Nokia that never skipped a beat all these years and is now saving your life. Is it really so hard to make a phone that is guaranteed to boot no matter what?

Goodness you guys are in a real snark aren't you?

Look, the whole point of this forum is that I don't know something that you do. I ask the question, and anybody who's feeling helpful today tells me what I need to know.

But when somebody, as in my case, clearly isn't aware of, say, a separate download mode that is accessed by pressing the vol down key, all they get is sarcasm and snobbery. The person asking for help gets treated like an idiot, and this gets "thanked" for "putting the noob in his place". Everybody's so busy giving themselves an ego massage they forget to come up with any actual solutions.

I didn't come here for that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
Who started the sarcasm? The person who wanted help switched to arrogancy when a really helping member showed the correct way.

And: you install custom roms on your device without even trying to read and learn as a necessary preparation. But demanding help without listening.

As you said: we didn't come here for that too.

You might reconsider and start reading the standard tutorials here how to root etc. Most members did this. The sort of "Noob" and "so I do not need to read myself" are luckily rare.
