[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JamesPumaEnjoi:
I've seen ROMs like Paranoid Android who only have 5 or 6 official team members listed on their website and they only support nexus devices and the Opposed Find5.....but then I see ROMs that say "Official Paranoid Android" for the note 2 or w/e phone....

Does "official" mean that its compiled from source no matter who makes it and an unofficial ROM or Port is just that....unofficial?

I mean I've seen this for a lot of ROMs not just Paranoid
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Official is compiled and maintained by a team member or maintainer from the group who developed the ROM in general.

Unofficial is compiled and maintained by whoever decided to build it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cyboy:
hi ,which one is better and why?

or which one do u preffer? n why?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DeadlySin9:
Official is better to go with if possible, as know when the source is updated and will push out updates since they're assigned to it. Unofficial just may be behind on updates but that's really it.

What is the difference between official build and weekly build
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
Your confusing the Release Type and the Build Type...

Hello Everyone!

I, personally, have always defined the differences of the different Firmware ROM's as follows:

RELEASE TYPES

OFFICIAL

= From Original Development and signed off by one or more of the Original Developer(s).

UNOFFICIAL

= A Development based upon the Original Development by a third party developer.[/B]

BUILD TYPES

EXPERIMENTAL

= Typically an Experimental build is a tool used to aid in Migrating/Transitioning from an older Android version to a newer one.

NIGHTLY/WEEKLY

= Are builds that's automated by software and are released on a daily/weekly basis (in most cases they are approximate timing). In Most (but, not All) cases there are no/little real human interaction in this. Typically an automated process for the release.

*** One example of the automated process is If you look at Open GApps... This is typically all automated with human interaction being little to none (the human interaction is usually on a case-by-case basis when the need calls for it).

SNAPSHOT

= (aka STABLE) This is typically when an actual individual has reviewed and deemed that everything within it is considered "feature-complete" and "reliable". In most cases, these releases are considered being without bugs.

*** I specified "in most cases" because I've seen those releases with a missed issue/bug but, this doesn't happen very much at all (thankfully).

This is not a Dictionary definition and there's much much more to it.

I just did my best i could (via text) to simplify it to help any noob members... :)

Thanks for the information

Currently I'm using resurrection remix and they release official builds every week

I mean why is that. They rolled out weeklies for 3 out 4 weeks and then official builds and these officials are also published weekly. What is the difference in these builds
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
I can't speak for them (and I may be wrong) but, I believe that this is because of that "human interaction".

More than likely (i can't state definitely) an actual individual reviews and signs off on them before it's released.

Thank you
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] FrankthaTank:
I just upgraded to an HTC One, but am having issues with this one and may need to exchange it. Before I do I wanted to see if the issues were at all common or if there is a fix for any of them.

Issues:

1. The power button is sunk in a bit. Not flush, but below the hole. It is very difficult to push and has been driving me nuts.

2. The front buttons do not light up. I saw them light up once, but most of the time I have to guess where the buttons are. Also very annoying as back, home, and power are used frequently.

3. Over half of my text messages need to be resent multiple times. This did not happen with my previous phone.

4. Smaller issue but the volume rocker is difficult to press. Big difference from the HTC EVO 4G LTE

5. Do I have to force close the power app everytime I restart the phone?

6. How do I recent apps? Holding down home goes to Google Now.

Thank you for any help.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] joshiy99:
The volume rocker is flush to the body of the phone but Ive had no problems using it? Maybe because I'm using a case I'm not too sure
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Yes, a case makes it much easier because then there is nothing to stop your fingers from pressing the volume buttons. The bezel is the culprit here.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] joshiy99:
True, but I can't imagine not having a case for such a beautiful phone
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
That's oxymoronic, not to mention a double negative.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] syed239:
1: How flush is it? Mine is flush but I can still press it easily without a case on. With a case on, I have to place my finger a certain way.

2: The buttons are light sensitive. So if you're in the dark, they will light up. If you're out in the sun or in a room with the light on, they won't light up. That's one thing I love about HTC.

3: Umm maybe spotty coverage? Or it could be a defect. Not sure about that one.

4: Volume rocker is fine if you don't have a case on. Just try hitting it near the very top or bottom to make it easier.

5: Are you asking about the power saver notification? If yes then yeah, every time you reboot. Or you can just leave it there. I don't mind it as I am switching the power saver on and off quite often.

6: You double tap the home button.

Hope this helps!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
OP, if it is hard at all to press the power button, return it or exchange it. My other Ones are SUPER easy to press. I have to get around to mailing this one in, but I'm not sure if I should because everything else about this phone is pretty much perfect.

And to see if your button lights are working, just cover the ambient light sensor with your finger. The one at the top left. Hold it for about 3 seconds. The lights should turn on. It think it's very smart that they only turn in when there is very little light.

I would have like a nav bar better though.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] FrankthaTank:
Okay so I'm exchanging the phone for the power button issue. Sad that the volume rocker issue will continue, but I can handle that one. The power button on mine is an absolute nightmare. I have to jam a fingernail in there to turn it on and half the time it doesn't work. Have to hit it just right.

The capacitive buttons do not light up in the light, dark, whenever. I cannot see the buttons and have to guess. Believe me, no one would love this feature. On my HTC EVO 4G LTE the lights came on. It gets annoying having to guess every time. I want the lights to come on.

My other big problem has nothing to do with google voice. I'll have full reception and not be able to make calls and text messages have to be resent. Seems like the phone is not working with the network correctly.

Yes the power saver notification is unacceptable. It is annoying to have a useless notification in the status bar. I'm not the only one it bothers and it needs to be removed permanently. Also I need Sprint ID to stop changing my custom screens. I would like my phone to work the way I want it to. I wanted an upgrade not a downgrade. When I get one with a working power button rooting should solve this, but if that wasn't an option I'd be shopping for another phone.

Figured out the double tap on home shortly after, but thanks. I still need to figure out how to stop Sprint ID from messing up my home screens. I tried disabling the icon pack for now.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rirere:
That's sure not right. Hopefully your exchange doesn't do that, because mine lights up at all times of day.

Again, not an issue here. Hopefully something your first unit just struggled with.

Gone in 4.2, I believe. In the meantime though, you can long-press on the notification, head over to App info, and force stop the relevant app. Kills the thing quite nicely.

Can't really help you here. First thing I did when I got the phone was disable all of the bloatware (built-in Android disable function), although I later killed it off with Titanium Backup. Never had much an issue there though. Tried another launcher, maybe?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] FrankthaTank:
First a double negative is the only way this phrase works. Otherwise it's "I imagine having a case." which does not convey the point. Sure could go with "can't imagine leaving the phone unprotected" which is still a double negative without another "not" but that just seems nit-picky.

Also the first thing I do with phones when I get them is put a case on them. After many beautiful phones becoming banged up, scratched, ugly phones you learn that a case keeps them beautiful. The aluminum will scratch easily so putting a case on it is a good idea. There are clear cases so you can still see through. You could just be really careful and paranoid with it though it will probably get scratched anyway. It's up to you, but in no way is it odd or a contradiction to protect the appearance of a beautiful phone with a case.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Just poking, mate. :s

Anyway, OP, I hope you can resolve these issues. The bloatware can easily be removed via root. The Power saver notification is gone in the 4.2 update. (We'll get that soon, hopefully)

The texting thing is bizzare. I really don't know what that was.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burajin:
I understand it's a stupid newbie mistake. I guess I've learned the hard way. I have an HTC One that I purchased unlocked which I then rooted and installed the Google Edition HTC One ROM onto. Everything was cool until today when they rolled out the 4.3 update, which I stupidly proceeded to download. Now my phone turns on, but after the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen it just shuts off, then will soon on its own turn on again and it will just be an endless cycle. I DO have access to recovery. So:

Phone turns on, then shuts off, then will repeat endlessly by itself

HBOOT is accessible if I hold Volume Down

Recovery is accessible (I have CWM 6.0.3.1)

Please tell me there is a way to fix this :( Even if I have to wipe my phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgtiii:
Couple of options. If you have an OTG cable, load a Rom (maybe the one you used originally) onto a flash drive and install it from there. Or, use ADB push and sideload a Rom onto your device. Or use an RUU for your phone....

I have never seen so many ways to Root the Galaxy S4, that my head is hurting, and all that I have read, that there wasn't one person who didn't have an issue with something. I have jail broken my iphone without a flaw, and love to get rid of all the unnecessary apps that came with my phone, but not at the price of bricking my phone. I have tried some of these suggestions and got no where, and it's because of the 1545SVRUAME7 has a lock down from proceeding from what I am reading.I guess I'll just wait until someone has a successful one click operation for the 1545SVRUAME7, rather than a recipe book.

1000% stock kernel, except system write protection is disabled

This is necessary because the stock kernel on GE 4.3 is compiled without support for modules.

Sorry, no wp_mod for 4.3. Complaints can be directed to HTC.

Devs are free to use this in their ROMs (credit would be nice:))

1. Install zip in recovery
