[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] greycobalt:
I've recently switched from a Galaxy Nexus to an S4 after a couple of years. I really like the S4, but I have a couple of nitpicks and questions, and was wondering if anyone could help out.

First, the bottom buttons annoy me since my Nexus and Nexus 7 are the exact opposite. Is there any way, mod or otherwise, to switch the back and menu buttons?

Is there any way to make the number pad use a normal number tone instead of the water drop noise?

TouchWiz was ok, but it was too restrictive with how I normally use my phone. I switched to Nova Launcher and infinitely prefer it. Does anyone know if the CM10.2 is going to be using the standard Nexus layout? If so, will that fix the above problem as well?

Every time I want to connect my headset, it pops up in the middle of the screen saying paired, and I have to touch it to connect. Is there a way for it to just connect automatically every time?

The boot screens are a little much for me, and the Rom Toolbox said it flashed a new one, but it never happened. Is there a special way this needs to be done?

Finally, I have a battery question, but I went ahead and posted a detailed question about it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2421591

Thanks in advance for your help everyone!

1.you can always find a rom with soft keys available.

2. I believe cm will let you customize.

3.idk about headset

4. Assuming you have recovery, I'd just download a flashable boot screen and flash iy

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] karsnen:
Hello,

I tried to root my new Nexus 7 (2013). I am not able to post the link of the tutorial which I followed (from androidrootz). I tried contacting the author of that tutorial - he did try his best but was not able to change the state.

When about to complete the entire process, close to the finish - I am not able to get inside the "Recovery Mode" to install Super User SU. i.e. When I press recovery mode in the bootloader I get the Google logo and it stays there till battery runs out.

Now when I start the tablet normally, I get the Google logo and the nexus logo. Then nexus logo stays there till the battery runs out.

I am a developer and I kinda need the tablet to run. My main purpose of rooting the tablet is to use certain admin feature and install a custom ROM.

If I could straighten up my tablet to work the way it does - that would really great. I am not bothered about the loss of data at all.

I could use both Windows and Mac to get things in order. At this moment I am not sure what the problem is nor do I know what to do.

If someone could guide me thro' to get the tablet up and running the normal, I highly appreciate it.

Thank you and regards,

Karsnen.

If you can get into bootloader, you should be able to recovery. I suggest you follow the guide here:

and choose the flash-all option which will wipe user data and start fresh.

I too am looking for the answer. I'll edit this post if I find something
[HTC Inspire 4G] Prestige0813:
If CWM would install, that wouldn't be a problem

I'll try turning off fastboot, but I can't get CWM to install at the moment either. SuperSU and Busybox also can't install.

Again, I'll try turning fastboot off and see how it behaves.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
What have you done? Also, you can't turn off fastboot; it's a mode selected from the bootloader. Do you mean ADB? Turning that off won't do anything either, other than making your phone's system inaccessible from the computer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
Depends on the ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
Er, I don't know for every ROM. If it's a custom ROM, probably. If you're rooted (and again, if you're using a custom ROM, you probably are), you can always install it from the play store.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Prestige0813:
Update:

First off, I've already downloaded the SuperSU App from Google Play, and it's failed to obtain root abilities, so a perm root is not being acheived.

Also, I've downloaded the latest SuperSU via PC, and it's ready to go once I manage to successfully install CWM (however, if the Ace Root Kit succeeds, then using CWM to install root isn't a needed method)

I've tried continuing the process with the Fastboot setting disabled, and I didn't see any difference in the end result. It seems that recovery is successfully written, but it doesn't succeed in installing SuperSU, CWM, or busybox.

On another note, I've downloaded the busybox installer app from Google Play, and it states the phone is rooted; but runs into errors when I attempt to install (regardless of the version I select). I've run two root checking apps, and both say that the phone is not rooted.

In short, All I've been able to achieve is getting the Boot Loader unlocked. :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
Can you flash recovery manually from fastboot?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Prestige0813:
New Update

I just found that CWM is in fact installed. I did not realize until just now that from the HTC bootloader I had to select recovery to access it.

I placed the SuperSU.zip on the phone and installed it via CWM, as scozzar had suggested, and the phone is now rooted (verified by two root checking apps)!

From there I installed busybox via Google Play with no hiccups.

I apologize for not trying this sooner I hope that others find success. The Inspire's a great phone, and now I've made mine even better! :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] warren_gump:
Yess

Yes! here is the tutorial

1- Download Android.zip and unzip it

2- make a folder called "Android" in C:/ like that: C:/Android.

3- put inside of the folder Android the files: adb.exe, fasttboot.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and the recovery.img

4- go to cmd and write:

cd \Android

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

READY! now you have a CWM Recovery

Make sure to clear the binary using triangle away app before unrooting.

For hardware problems they don't really care whether it's rooted, that's at least what I've been told.

Yes, typically it's not an issue depending on what the physical fault is. For a vibrate motor being faulty, you should be ok. But you could also get that over zealous rep who takes a deeper glance than the rest and declares a voided warranty. To be safe you should continue as you were before sending it.

Hi to everyone. I wanted to know how to flash a ROM in the best way. All the wipes step by step and if there is something to do also in mount and storage.. Everything to flash a ROM in a 100% cleaned phone thanks

[LG Optimus G (International)] MitoTakatori:
- Put the zip inside your internal storage

- Boot into recovery (CWM)

- Full wipe and format required (go to mounts and storage format system, data and cache then go back now wipe date/factory reset and lastly wipe cache partition)

- Flash the zip. (install zip from sdcard)

- Reboot

This is from turvat1377. And only for CWM Recovery. Okay? Hope this helps you! ;)

[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
No,don't confuse partitions. You have these :/data,/system,/cache,/sd-ext(sdcard on our g,because of we don't have microsd). Your files are located in sd-ext(sdcard) partition.wiping /system erases any trace of the old firmware.this is done mainly to delete any scripts that may interfere with the new rom.and there are alot of addon.d scripts that can resist a normal reset(data,cache,dalvik).

[LG Optimus G (International)] fra6220:
Hi , thanks then is right to do like this? :

1 WIPE DATA /FACTORY.

2.WIPE CACHE PARTITION

3. FORMAT/SYSTEM

4.FORMAT DATA

5.FORMAT CACHE

6 WIPE DALVIK CACHE

7. FLASH ROM AND GAPPS

8. FORMAT SD CARD

9. FORMAT DATA/MEDIA / SD CARD

10. REBOOT SYSTEM

Is that correct? to install a rom cleaning completely the device
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
Nope,all you need is to wipe data(factory reset),wipe cache partition,wipe dalvik cache(these operations are known as 3 wifes™). To delete any possible remaining scripts,you need to format /system in mounts and storage.

The rest of partition(data) is wiped when you flash the zip.

If you format everything,including sdcard,BEFORE you flash the rom,you will need adb sideload,because you won't have any files to flash:).you can format sdcard AFTER you flash rom and gapps,if we're talking about cm/aosp roms.

Did I risk to ruin the phone or I just did something useless? thanks for your information
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
Well,if you do these wipes before flashing a custom roms,you will erase the files you want to flash ans you will need to use adb sideload to flash the the rom. If you just want to have a clean stock phone,just wipe data,cache, dalvik cache and format /sdcard in mounts and storage,but no wipe /data and /system in mounts and storage. This will wipe your current rom too and your phone will not boot.

Or just Google for debuggerd, Nexus 7, android 4.3 and xda; there's a thread somewhere here where someone posted a copy. It's how I fixed mine when I upgraded.

Just download it and copy it to /system/bin. Easiest if you can do it in recovery, as Chainfire used that file for some of his software hacks for either Super SU or Stickmount and unfortunately it can get copied over again on boot or reboot.

ive gathered some things and did a few tests on my MotoActv since ive gotten it and did some tweaks here and there and i added the following features to mine and put them into a flashable zip for u all

-init.d support (plus some scripts to make it faster then ever) (tested and working (makes two files in sdcard on boot to show it) (picks and chooses when to work now for some reason, so i put an app i made that loads scripts when onCreate()'d and sometimes on-boot)

-Viper4Android sound system (only works for bluetooth headsets if enabled, but its sounds better with good settings)(see credits)

-OpenVPN (idk if theres a use for us but i added the required files (no GUI)

-UsbEnabler.apk (see credits)

-Adblock host (hopefully it works i havent been able to test yet)

-lag-free entropy (so far seems to work, as im not lagging switching launchers anymore)

-MotoActv DPI (my own personall app i made for Changing dpi from 90,100, and stock(120)

-Sqlite3 + init.d sqlite3 optimizer

-Busybox Run-parts (for init.d, still picks and chooses when to work)

-100 Dpi When-Flashed (can be changed back to stock with the MotoActv DPI app i made)

-minor-to-major tweaks from init.d scripts and other methods

-DalvikCache2Sd (not sure if it truly tested working, but i do have a tiny bit more space+no lag like other 2SD methods

soon to be added:

I take bare minimum credit for these, i mostly used this personal zip for when i update my MotoActv's rom, this can be universal for other androids, but it was initially made to the MotoActv watch running custom roms

well thanks ClearD i can do the script just fine, some of the mountpoints are universal like what i use

umount("/system");

or

run_program("xbin/mount", "/system"); (might be wrong on the xbin part, just going by memory

run_program("xbin/umount", "/system");

but the resolution on the galery on your motoactv rom is too big for it, it resizes dont get me wrong, but it needs to do a single horizontal row cause if u overscroll to the farest right u see there is second or more rows going down, imma fine the sourcecode for the galery2.apk, and make a single-row version when i find it =)
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Ah, sweet! That sounds good. :) I couldn't get it to mount properly any other way so far, but it could have been something as simple as a typo. If it does actually work, then I might use that in the future. That's the one I tried with the last iteration. :)
[Other SmartWatches] jkok:
the universal way i do my scripts is

mount("ext3", "MTD", "system", "/system");

unmount("/system");

and it always seemed to work for me, so thats why i call it universal anyways

but the other ways i posted seemed to work for me when i tried em, i just used this way cause it was in a zip for a motoactv rom (i think it was yours or the battery mod)
[Other SmartWatches] jkok:
Opps! i was wrong, its not

run_program("xbin/mount", "system");

its

run_program("sbin/mount", "system");
