I've been using it for a month now. Of course you lose NFC. NFC is attached to the plastic back cover. Gps has not been affected at all as I use it daily. Reception for me has not be affected either.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] LouZiffer:
:eek: NFC is built into your battery. The plastic cover is just a plastic cover.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] xCovErtWolFx757:
Yes I know that but isn't there a antenna type thing on the inside of the plastic cover.. I've tried using nfc with the cover off and it didn't work
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] LouZiffer:
Sorry. NFC capability is only built into the battery itself. The Note 2 has its antenna in the cover, but the S3 and S4 don't.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Altaria:
Hello everyone,

sorry if I'm asking stupid question in wrong thread, but...

I've got Desire, a friend of mine installed CyanogenMod-7.2.0.1-bravo in it. Problem is, the OS crashes every time I try to install something or move an application to an SD card.

Since my friend can't be reached for a long time, could anyone please post a completely idiot-proof step-by-step manual to downgrade this Mod to original Android 2.1 or, if possible, 2.2?

I will be so grateful...

Thank you in advance.

In despair, Altaria
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
This is what i would recommend that you do. Dont downgrade to stock as it lacks features, its battery heavy, etc.

Partition you sd card and flash milwilds redux rom. This will allow you to fix the low space issue of the desire that stops you from installing many apps. It may sound difficult but trust me, it isnt. And its definately worth it. First i need some info before giving you instructions. Boot into the bootloader (turn the phone off, then turn it back on using volume down + power). It should look similar to this . Post what it says there here. Then from the bootloader use volume down to scroll to RECOVERY and then select it using power. You should have a custom recovery installed. Post whether it is clockwordmod recovery or 4ext recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Altaria:
Hello Chromium,

thank you for your reply. :) So, the whole OS crashes to restart because of a low space issue? :-O

Recovery seems like Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Im not really sure what the root cause of the crashing is but it can likely be fixed.

First install 4ext recovery. Its a much better recovery than cwm and it will allow you to create the partition very easily. After installing it create the partition by following this guide,

Next download this hboot , rename it to PB99IMG.zip and place it on the root of your sdcard (not inside any folders). Turn the phone off, then boot into the hboot (power + volume down). Wait a few seconds and it should start searching for the PB99IMG.zip and ask if you want to install it. Press volume up to install, and then choose reboot.

After that, download mildwilds redux rom (you could use others but i would highly recommend this one for now). Turn the phone off, then boot into the bootloader, and from there go into recovery. Once in recovery go to the Wipe menu, and choose "Format all partitions (except sd card)". Then go to the Install section and choose install zip from sdcard. Find the mildwild rom you previously downloaded and flash it. Reboot and you should be good to go. Apps that you install will automatically move to the partition and you should have plenty of room for data because of the hboot you flashed. You wont need to choose the "Move to sd card' option anymore. Good luck and let me know if you need more help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Could also just be a dodgy sdcard. Happened to me before, phone kept on freezing, then rebooting etc etc, baught new sdcard and all was fine again. Try a different one if u have one.

(but also still do what chromium says aswell, ul need that partition + hboot)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Altaria:
Hello again, Chromium,

thank you for this extensive manual, unfortunatelly, I've been killed as soon as in step 1. I can't install the 4EXT recovery, because when I try to install it, the phone crashes to restart and nothing is installed. :(

Should I perform at least the other steps?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Altaria:
Hello jmcclue,

thank you for the advice, I've tried a different SD card, but to no avail. The phone crashes no matter which SD card I use. :crying:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Go here to flash 4ext recovery, follow the instructions

http://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&sourc...zIDAAQ&usg=AFQjCNEUGZl30YGTkx5scB6jgMA9qi5a9g

Then use the guide that chromium posted to partition ur sdacard. Backup sdcard before u partition it coz it will wipe everything.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Altaria:
IT'S ALIVE!!! :D

I've done everything in the list and it's fantastic! :) I can finally install an application!

Thank you so much, Chromium and jmcclue, you saved me and my nerves. I wish you could see the broadness of my smile. You're great, I'm really grateful. Clicked Thank you everywhere I could. :)

Thank you once again, Altaria :)
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Game-Modo:
Hi Guys :)

I was given the Motoroloa razr I as gift but the only issue is its locked down to Orange and I have a Virgin sim card. Does anyone know a way to unlock this to work on Virgin? Would it involve unlocking the bootloader?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NadeZ:
A Virgin sim card should work in an Orange-locked phone.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidnoob_mx:
No root or bootloader unlocked needed, just buy an imei unlock code, insert the Virgin's sim and It'll ask for the unlocking code, then you're done
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] generalmax3:
I love the crap out of this tablet but am getting fed up with the random reboots!

I am on my 2nd round as I returned the 1st one I purchased from best buy due to the same issue.

My question is: Should I return it and wait a few months for a more stable device or just wait for a software update if it is indeed a software issue?

I have until tomorrow to decide!

Please advise!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] conan1600:
I didn't spend enough time on stock to know if installing a custom ROM would help you. I can say I haven't had any random reboots on unofficial cm 10.2 and Jassy release 5 kernel.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] juicyjones:
No random reboots here. Are you on stock?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] generalmax3:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] krobinso2295:
I'm coming from the htc Evo 4g lte, and usually when I would go into ES file Explorer I would see to options, but I don't see that on this device. I don't see sdcard2, or even ext-sdcard. Could someone walk me through this so I can get this to show up on my device through my file Explorer?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KB112:
I don't use ES anymore, I prefer Solid Explorer. But you should just be able to select Ext SD. Since the file Explorer reads the internal memory as SD. It sees your SD card as External.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] devilrulz4ever:
I am not able to find an option to disable "turn off bluetooth on exit", can anybody tell me where it is?:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jed Dignazio:
The path should be:

Device/Storage/extSdCard

You have to go into the storage folder rather than the sdcard folder.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MagicMagicD:
So, rumour has it that Key Lime Pie, aka Android 5.0 will be bringing a number of optimisations which will allow it to run significantly better on phones with 512MB of RAM...

If there's any truth in this rumour, and given the importance of emerging markets such as wearable tech like the Sony SmartWatch and Google's own Glass, it would certainly be beneficial to all concerned if Android requires less hardware. If you're looking for parallels then look no further than Windows, which was on a very similar path, growing release after release and demanding ever more hardware until finally they got the hint (well, sort of...).

Whether any of this will mean anything to us is debatable at present as even getting a fully-working version of 4.1.2 is not an easy task when you lack the required source and/or libraries to build against. I'm hopeful though, that if our amazing developers can make headway with Jelly Bean, then there is hope for Key Lime Pie...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pandemic:
i heard a rumor that Lime pie comes around October.

but like i said im not sure and i hope XP get it also, because it have 1 GB ram

but i dont think so and i hope Sony give us XP users also 4.3 so i hope some from Sony make a petition or something :)

We shall see :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pandemic:
yeah that was i thought to [MENTION=4711581]IAmNice[/MENTION] and like i said its a rumor and yeah we have already 4.3 but when will sony port that to XP :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Andrewasth:
I even doubt that xperia s will be upgraded to a newer android version not to mention xperia p!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pandemic:

I had this rom at one time, I want to only use it to take out the systemui.apk and copy it to my current ROM, stock setup. Currently I have systemui.apk for NXT LE and I can do the pull down and slide the menu options back and forth and they all work perfect, but now I want to try out X-Gamer and found the download link removed.

That rom have some "illegal" apps in it, so it was deleted in few days after released.

I had that rom in pc, but unfortunatelly, i had to do clean-up due low hard-disk space.

I bought a gps receiver from Aktonix (is the same as ADAPT Bluetooth GPS Receiver). I also have tomtom 5 instaled on my pda. But the bluetooth receiver wont work together. I can not use the bluetooth manager to change the com port. It is on com5 but I read that it has to be on com8 to let it work.

My mda has got this info:

I would like to start this thread to help each other out.

I mean I don't suck or anything, I first started out themeing, but then I did my first smali MOD and was hooked.

I'll help anyway as well.

Hope can get the contacts bro. I really want to get the AOSP theme rocking. Maaybee you want to team up with me on it? who knows? that would be so sick.

Either way glad this thread will hopefully get some good use for people.

I think this is right but I learn as I go.

I'm gonna theme to darken dialer so if I can confirm I'll report.

Edit: that did change contacts/recents backround but not dialer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] prstorero:
Dialer background is in a different spot for what ever reason. Its in sec contacts apk under one of the layout files with "dialpad_fragment" in the name.

prshosting.org
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gunthermic:
if you change the contacts_list_content.xml in SecContacts and add android:background(line 12) that will change that. The problem with changing the image in frameworks file, is if any other apps calls a system resource it will make it darkbackground with most likely black text... This screwing that up.

So then you gotta redo that app. so I prefer to make the app inverted all by iteself and not reply up backgrounds and such from framework if I can help it....

Just a different way of doing it.....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gunthermic:
If your SecSettings styles.xml matches white version to the tee. then You are looking at colors.xml being white color code, or android:background defined somewhere. I still didnt have a chance to look at the SecSettings. Could you send me the White vesion so I can do a compare?
