I'd never use it personally, I have no use to switch ROM's. All I need is AOKP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] th3drow:
It's kind of a cool idea but I just wouldn't ever really see anyone needing to really do this much if at all. You most likely either like touchwiz or like stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] royredman:
Does anyone know if it is possible to implement this on a Verizon Galaxy S4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] royredman:
Also, I would think this may be easy to manipulate. Say, having two roms onto a pone that can dual boot, not just restricted to Google edition and touchwiz
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CrookedKnight:
If I could dual-boot rather than having to go through the whole Nandroid backup/restore process every time I want to try something new, I'd be a lot more likely to dabble in CM nightlies and the like. This'd be great.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mlin:
Exactly! It's so nice to be able to switch back to your trusty DD with not much more than a reboot. There was an app called BootManager that I used on my EVO3D. You could boot as many ROMs as your SD could hold. It was great to play with CM, MIUI and others and reboot to Sense when I needed stability and reliability.

EDIT: just looked at the article. One data set is totally awesome! I wonder how easily you can swap the #2 ROM and leave the data untouched.

Paul O'Brien (creator of MoDaCo and MoDaCo.switch said that he would be releasing his source to ALL developers in the near future so all ROMs would be able to implement it but for now its just the International (GSM) HTC One and Galaxy S4.....his post can be found on modaco.com
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] royredman:
I don't wan't to point you out or pressure you towards this, but you seemed interested in the idea, so I found this already created for the international Galaxy s4 from some other guy.

If you could use it towards our advantage, that would be awesome, if not thats fine too. Also, feel free to send this around to other GS4 Dev friends!! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Thanks for the link. That could potentially work with some small tweaks. However that won't help me at all. Too much relies on your specific kernel and ROM versions.

The only way a tool like this is truly useful for ME is if I can dual boot anything I want for both slots. Whether that's 2 aosp, 2 tw, or 1 aosp and Ubuntu.

I really don't think either of these would work for my development purposes at this point. But I'm hopefully we'll get a dual boot option soonish.

I wouldn't even mind just a straight up text based grub style boot loader. Which would be no problem at all right now if Verizon didn't lock us up. :-/

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mlin:
Seems like the edits would be pretty straight forward, right? Basically changing install locations or would the bootloader business change things? even this form of dual boot would be awesome IMHO.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
It's not what I'd consider real dual boot. You are allocating cache space for the second ROM which mostly is fine since we have a 2gb cache partition. It shouldn't be that hard unless he coded it specifically for a single boot loader with an argument that will only allow it to run if it sees a specific board property or something. But that would be a huge waste of time since it seems like all those functions could be accomplished from within the stock environment.

But without dling it that's all speculation

Find the audio you want in mp3 format, trim it down to the length of the boot animation.

Rename it to "android_audio.mp3" and place it accordingly. I think it was in system/media/

When you're upgrading a custom ROM, it usually should be as simple as choosing install zip via CWM and flashing it. But I suggest you read the instructions given in the RR thread to see if any other steps have to be done. :)

Hi,

i have a VPA compact and the RoyalTek RBT 3000 GPS mouse.

This mouse has a intern datalogger. You should be able to download the logs with a software called BlueGPS which runs on the PDA, but after a few records (100 to 500) the connection breaks.

There are several posts all over the internet with people asking for help, but no one has a solution.

My question:

Is there anyone, who is able to download a log/track to his XDAc, MDAc, VPAc or WM2003SE based PDA?

Edit: Maybe you also drop a note, if you have the same problem.

thx,

So perhaps you could also try it and we can find out, what exactly we have to do.

Unfortunately NO. None of the adhesive strips would be re-usable. In fact, Don't try re-using them as well or use any other double tapes if you expect your phone to be further waterproof.

You can check if your flex cable is damaged, check your connector too. If everything seems right it's probably your new digitizer not working. You can try on this way. Turn off your phone, reconnect it again and hold with your finger, than turn on your phone.

Sony Xperia Z touchscreen replacement

I may be getting confused but my issue is that my phone displays flawlessly but I cannot unlock the phone as there is a series of cracks on what i would call the touchscreen. Are you saying that

a) regardless what front display issue I have, I need to replace both the touchscreen element and the display as they are one unit, or

b) once I follow your guidance of taking the phone apart I will be able to replace only the touch digitizer.

Im just not sure which one is necessary and as I am about to order parts I would appreciate if you could help me clear this up. Im sure you are aware there is a significant price difference.

BUT when I turn on show visable pointer upon touch in developer options.

When I touch the top right it clicks on the bottom left. vice versa.

When I drag down it drags right. vice versa.

I dont know if the digitizer is defective or I messed up the connections when I took the old one off and the new one on or maybe it some how bent or the gule is somehow uneven and it is making the touches off point.

Or maybe I need to calibrate the touch screen? I actually trying to search it now how to do it.

It's been a while since I have had a problem with a device that I repair but unfortunately it has happened again today.

Yesterdat at 5 pm a friend of mine came by with his xperia z to replace the screen. I first run through the tutorial and see whether I came across something I do not know. Then I just started the repair and took my time to complete it. I finished at 19:30 pm. I also installed a new parts I've replaced the display and the on / off volume flex cable. After having successfully placed everything the most exciting moment of the evening followed, turning on the device. The 1st time I turned on the phone it worked so well. I did some tests and turned the phone a few times on and off to see if that would not cause any problems. But after 4 times the phone only showed the backlight. I have been through all the connections and also did an disassembly again to see if there might be a flex cable that is not properly connected but I could not find anything.

Now my question to you is fellow members, would anyone here help me or has anyone here had previously experienced.

Is it possible, that other thing than lcd cable is the problem?
