Thanks so much for this Theme !!!

I know your going to say I am being picky but is it possible to resize the opening screen ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
The splash screen is baked into the recovery itself, so there's no easy way to replace it. Might try repacking the recovery image later.

Very nice work thank you

Repacked recovery images available

Third post updated with repacked recovery images. Download the recovery with your splash screen of choice, or edit the .SVG to make your own...

Can't find them! :(

No files at all in your recoveries/flo folder????

EDIT: Nevermind... The links are working again.

I flashed the light theme with light curtain. The curtain updated but the recovery is still the stock look. Did I do something wrong?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Nope, all good. The repacked recoveries do not contain the theme itself, but only the curtain.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] sn0warmy:
Gotya. Flashed the theme like I would any other theme and all is working as it should now. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] fgcchevy:
Will this get updated to the new base? I tried flashing on clean ROM 1.5 but failed I imagine cause his ROM is based on new base. Tia

Does anyone know if the new 4.3 rooms like PA or Pac-Man include support for Bluetooth smart? I was under the impression that Google added that to the 4.3 release but I dunno if it made it to the custom rooms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sohead:
First off, sorry if this has already been covered somewhere and I'm just not finding it.. I've been searching and reading a lot and l am learning a ton, I just cant seem to find an answer for sure..

Note - I am mostly a 'noob'. I have had other sammy phones (a Galaxy S and a Gnex) and have rooted them and put CWM and TWRP on em, and flashed many kinds of custom roms and stuff,, soft bricked em several times,, had to use ODIN to flash em back to stock and start over, followed instructional threads to hack around using ADB and Fastboot commands for different things, etc..Basic playing around with stuff like that. So I sorta know my way around the basics of playing with at least Sammy brand phones.

I recently bought a nice used S4 to play with. I immediately start looking at root instructions and bootloaders and roms,, and ran dead into the brick wall of it already having the ME7 devil on it and thus me being locked out beyond rooting. Since I wanted an S4 specifically for playing with ROMs, I sold that stock ME7 S4 and bought a different one that someone had already put TWRP on and a custom ROM. So now I should be good to go flashing away.

So my question is, if I ever do want to try running a stock ME7 rom sometime, is there one I can flash while playing around flashing trying out different roms that would NOT somehow lock the bootloader? I'm not talking about accepting a Verizon OTA update, I know better than that. I'm talking about manually flashing roms (I am assuming if I flashed a 100% stock Verizon rom it might screw myself and lock the bootloader,, maybe I am mistaken on that assumption idk). I'm seeing the "bonestock me7" rom here on XDA, would that be safe to try for a stock ME7 experience?

ok i'll shut up now,, sorry for the long post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
You're good to go. Just look in the dev section for one to your liking. I've been running BoneStock but there are others including one from andybones which completely stock. Stay clear of any ROM requiring you to Odin as I'd worry about that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sohead:
Cool. Thanks much for the help!

Basic operations

Writing the nand memory on this handset is nearly impossible through conventional means, suggest a maintenance jig for the board.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sohead:
Whats the "nand memory"? the area of memory where the recovery/bootloader code is stored? and what do you mean by conventional means? like using CWM or TWRP I assume? what about ODIN? from prior experience ODIN has written over a custom bootloader that I had loaded with a stock one (if I remember right anyway, I think I've lost my custom CWM or TWRP bootloaders by flashing a stock rom via ODIN,, back on the Gnex, I have never tried that with an S4 but assume it would be the same deal). And whats a "maintenance jig"?

lol sorry for so many questions,, warned ya I was a NOOB :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heyazzo:
No such thing as a dumb question.

I was always curious about things that I didn't understand. First, try to understand the security that's already on this device, then decide if an update really did kill one qfuse out of say 10-12 on the board depending on the lifecycle they gave this particular set of commo gear. Search MSM 8960 security, then get back to me via PM, I want to help you any way I can.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] r3pwn:
I, as well as a few others, are going to sell our KFHD7 devices to get something better *cough* 2013 Nexus 7 *cough*. Before I leave the Kindle community, I would like to help those looking to sell the device. Keep in mind that these are very simple steps and you must have TWRP already working. (You can't really remove something that you don't have, now can you? :D)

You can choose to do this process entirely on your device or with the help of a computer.

First, grab Amazon's latest update file from http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201016350 (You can do this on your Kindle or your computer) then rename it from WHATEVER-THE-UPDATE-NAME-IS.bin to WHATEVER-THE-UPDATE-NAME-IS.bin.zip

Next, Backup all important data. What YOU classify important data as is all up to you. This could be apps (Free apps are located in "/data/app", while premium and paid apps are in "/data/app-asec". Please note that if you copy a premium app from "/data/app-asec", you must also copy it's corresponding folder in "/data/data".), family pictures from a recent vacation (Most likely located in "/sdcard/Pictures" somewhere.), or just some hard-to-find files that work on all newer android devices. You can choose to zip all the files up and put them on Dropbox, or use your computer to "adb pull" them. If you have any questions about backing things up, leave a comment down below.

Third step: If you downloaded Amazon's update file to your computer, you can transfer it over now or wait a step or two.

Now you need to reboot into TWRP recovery. Once you get there (Shouldn't take too long now, thanks to Hashcode! :D), if you downloaded the file on your computer, you can wipe your internal storage (/sdcard), system, data, dalvik cache, and cache now. If not, wipe all above except for your internal storage (/sdcard) and flash the zip file you downloaded earlier then afterwards, wipe your Internal Storage (/sdcard). To those who just wiped everything and have the file downloaded on your computer, got to the "Advanced" menu in TWRP and hit "ADB Sideload". You will need to have the proper drivers if using Windows. (Windows always has drivers issues with Android. :/)

If you need help with anything in this thread, please leave a comment down below.

Now that all that is done, reboot your tablet and you should now be 100% stock with NO ROOT, TWRP REMOVED, ALL DATA REMOVED, ALL IMPORTANT FILES BACKED UP, and YOUR KINDLE FIRE HD 7" IS READY TO SELL.

Useful guide, in any section. I'd say Android development is probably where the people who need this will find it first. And technically, reverting a device is the opposite of development...don't see that thread section on XDA

Thanks for this. My old kindle developed a loose charging port, and following a phone call with Amazon, I received a brand spanking new one 2 days later, with 30 days to return the faulty one (excellent service from Amazon by the way). Anyway, time is ticking by and I was thinking I would have to use KFFA to restore it back to its original state. This will save me a lot of time and hassle. Thanks.

You forgot to mention, after you have completely wiped everything. After the ADB Slideload, once the device is in sideloading mode and is connected to the PC, type "adb sideload rom.zip" and hit Enter. Now you'll find the ROM on the sdcard, flash, and you're done.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] luckystrikes23:
Just to be completely clear, if I download the zip to my device, I wipe EVERYTHING BUT the internal storage, then I can flash it, and then wipe JUST the internal storage?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] LinearEquation:
If you have the zip on your SD card then don't wipe the internal storage until after you flash the zip. If you do, you wipe the ROM too.

If the ROM is on your computer then wipe away. Then in TWRP go to advanced and select ADB sideload, open a command prompt and type adb sideload /path/nameofyourzip.zip and the zip will begin to flash. You will see the percentage of the zip flashed on your computer screen.

I would suggest anyone wishing to sideload the ROM to confirm adb is seeing your tablet. Open command and type "ADB devices." If it remains "waiting for device" adb sideload will not work.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] luckystrikes23:
Well, it's a Kindle Fire HD, so no SD card, just Internal memory. I flashed the zip from internal storage, and then wiped the internal storage. Now the static Kindle Fire logo pops up.... and that's it. A bit brickish.

HELPOkay

Okay I was unrooting my Kindle...followed the above directions to a T and then when I got to adb sideload....nothing happens....what do I do or what did I do wrong??? Trying to get Kindle back to stock...and I wiped everything because had Kindle zip on computer. :crying::eek:

-The magnetic wake feature works perfect every time

-Looks and feels well made, great quality microfiber liner.

-Nice strap for holding in portrait mode as well as a place to store your styles.

Do you use a screen protector with this case or is it safe to use without one?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sfhub:
I posted this in the cases thread, but figured it might be more useful here:

I picked up both the MoKo and Blurex versions of the 6 claw case. From a quick look at the pictures I would have thought they were exactly the same, just with different logos. While they are the same design, there are actually a bit different. Here is a brief comparison:

I liked the Blurex design a bit better because it was thinner and lighter plus the angle of the first tilt position was more vertical.

The Blurex is a tad thinner/smaller in most dimensions. We are just talking about 10-50mm in various areas, but when you add it all up, it just feels thinner, more compact and lighter.

MoKo felt like it offered a little more protection though you get a tiny bit of extra bulk.

MoKo is like the big brother (just 1yr older though) and Blurex is the lite version.

Blurex has the first tilt slot start right after the elastic handle ends. Moko has it start about 3/4" after the handle ends. Where I normally use the tilt feature (nightstand) the MoKo made it feel like I was looking at an angle rather than directly at the screen. I needed to move my head higher above the tablet location to get the proper angle, which was not comfortable to do in bed looking at a nightstand.

The MoKo has more precise coverage along the edges though. Blurex just leaves a little more of the edges exposed (I am talking 10-15mm difference)

The material is also different. Moko uses the soft-touch material and Blurex is the more traditional grained material. The soft-touch feels a little better, but I wouldn't trade the slightly bulkier design for the soft-touch material.

It is one of those cases where if I just looked at the two cases side-by-side I would probably choose MoKo, but after using them a little, I would choose Blurex.

The are both very good products though so this is just based on my priorities rather than something being inheritently wrong with the products.

Blurex Ultra-Slim

MoKo Slim-Fit

This is reply to the following message:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41142203&postcount=542

I'm posting here since I am not permitted to post to development-related forums.

I installed tejasdj12 Build Three ROM and call waiting works but it seems that it is unstable in certain situations.

What I noticed is that if you press call waiting button fast few times successively, phone app becomes unstable. It does not show correct info about call waiting (call waiting is on and it shows off or similar), call cannot be disconnected or it disconnects itself etc.

It happens on all custom ROMs that I have tried (2.3 AOSP, SDSL, CM 4.1 ...). Stock 2.1 does not have such manifestations.

I don't know which file is responsible for call waiting, but since all custom ROMs have similar problems it could be kernel issue.

I have a att compatible SIM in my DNA with working data and calls but no mms, I can recieve but not download the pic and can't send.....please help must be wrong Apn somewhere
[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
I have the same problem and couldn't fix it. I read all over the web and the only solution I could come up with was to get a new Sim. Apparently this worked for some. I use GoSMS now and MMS works. It has lots of themes so I just replaced the stock text messaging app with it.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
I keep seeing AT&T is extremely difficult to get MMS working properly on, even T-Mobile can suck getting it working, on anything but AOSP ROMs I had to use GoSMS also.
[HTC Droid DNA] canemaxx:
Well guys I found the issue and I'm fixed mms and web work great now. The trick is to call 18553332355 and tell the mms was working and now its not. They will go over the Apn settings and then you have to keep them on the phone, after 30 min they HAVE to get a manager who will then use their "tool" and have you turn your device off for 1 min then everything works great. I had to do this 4 times with 4 devices. Trust me this works . I know its 30 min but if you want a 100% working service this is a must

Name net10

Apn tfdata

Mmsc http://mms-tf.net

Mms proxy mms3.tracfone.net

Mms port 80

All else leave blank

wonder what the correct apn settings are for att then. i have a chance to get a dna at a good price but have to have mms.

it is as following.

The bluetooth doesn't work if i try to sent a file to another phone via bluetooth. When i do it just in the same way i did it in the past with my MDA2 this was selecting the file and then choosing beam file then it would find al bluetooth devices.

With the MDA3 i have to make a connection with the other device via bluetooth manager ->browse files on a remote device then i can send a file to another device.

I will be verry happy if someone could help me

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] failly:
Hey guys,

I see alot of toolkits around like N-Cry and Wkip or something.

Now, Im still unrooted and locked.

What is the best toolkit to unlock my bootloader and flash twrp?

Also, I don't want to lose any data while unlocking my bootloader.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
The best toolkit is to not use a toolkit at all. Learn how to do it yourself, it's not difficult and will pay off in the end since you'll know how to use fast boot.

You cant unlock your bootloader without losing data, it's a part of the process and is there for security purposes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Like zephiK said, don't use a toolkit.

It is actually possible to unlock the bootloader without having everything wiped. You need to flash a custom recovery right after unlocking, without rebooting in between. Then you boot into the recovery, wipe the cache, and boot back into android and everything should be left untouched.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] failly:
Okay thanks guys I now know enough!

I'll find me a good tutorial and hopefully start unlocking and rooting soon. :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yup, in agreement.. best "toolkit" is fastboot/adb :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobWalker:
A good guide to unlocking and rooting your Nexus 4 is available at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2266654. Don't forget Chromium's advise to flash a custom recovery then boot into recovery and wipe the cache before rebooting to preserve your data. I would also recommend copying all data from the Nexus' internal storage to your computer as a backup before rooting.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] failly:
Thanks alot guys! Will just use the fastboot method instead of a toolkit!

HI Gang....I rooted my note 2 from sprint using the toolkit.......worked well for about a week....then I downloaded a rom for the S translator......Ever since I did that, I cant download anything, the play store force quits and rom manager is not working as well..... I used the toolkit to reflash the root image but no luck...I have deleted the previous apps and reloaded with same results......help! I was using cynaogen 10.1......now i cant do much HELP!!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mephistonian:
My suggestion, go into the app manager and force close google play store and clear data. Then reboot to recovery and fix permissions.

If that doesn't Cut it, flash a TouchWiz rom. My recommendation is macksrom 5.0 with perseus kernel.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ArchangelRenzoku:
You need to boot into recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik and then reflash your rom (unless it's a rom that says not to flash data). When you have problems with force closes, as the person above says, you'll need to manually go into the app's info from Application Manager and delete the data for the respective apps you're having trouble with.

Then boot into recovery again, clear cache and dalvik only and fix permissions then reboot into system.

Sounds like you have a corrupted system partition or some other sort of data corruption. You'll need to sbf back to a stock setup and start from scratch.
