Please help me out my device has a display with 854x480 resolution, i'm using the Touchwiz UX launcher but it's only 800x480 Resolution so it looks like this on my device.

But i want to lower the indicators and the icons a little bit down like in the picture below, please tell me how or maybe i could give you the Launcher and you can edit it for me please, it might be a small problem but it's really annoying me.

I dont even know if this exists but is there a rom out there that is the latest stock Sense rom without the Tmobile ****ware included in it?

I just want a stock Sense rom without all the ****ware that Tmobile just has to include in their phones. I have been using CM10/.1/.2 for a while and just got tired of the bugs.

I was feeling like you and here's what I did ...

Relocked and RUU'ed back to the latest T Mobile stock rom. Since I was s-off, I unlocked and reflashed CWM recovery. Lastly, I used Rom Cleaner to eliminate all the bloat and crap. Now my One S is amazing!

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Picolini:
I've got the Ultra running the latest OTA (had it installed when I bought the phone).

When using the camera I frequently get "Device is stowed" followed by something like "exiting camera." I find this occurs when I'm going to swipe to view the most recent picture taken by swiping from right to left. The camera app seems to have no traditional settings menu, I don't see a way to stop this. I'm assuming it should happen of I leave the phone on and "stow" it away on my pocket, but I happens on its own while in use.

Any ideas why this is happening and how I can stop it?

Aside from that, I'm surprised there's no photosphere option, and at how pixelated the photos are even in medium lit rooms. Pretty disappointing.

I get that constantly too. How do I make it stop.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemiImp:
There is a proximity sensor on the opposite side of the camera. If you have your finger on it while visiting the gallery, it will exit the camera.

Please report this to Motorola! I spent a good amount of time diagnosing and reporting the problem this morning only to find out that they will only fix the issue if more people report it (well, that's essentially what they said).

These are all of the symptoms/instructions of the bug:

1. This bug ONLY happens when you shake to enter the camera. Opening the camera by tapping a camera icon OR entering the camera by swiping from right to left on your lockscreen widgets will not have this problem.

2. You MUST enter the camera at some point while the phone is off AND using the shake-to-activate feature. Once you shake to enter the camera while the device was off, it will happen at any time you shake-to-activate.

3. You MUST have a hand/finger on or near the proximity sensor on the opposite side of the front facing camera. This happens all the time when you are taking any landscape-styled photos.

So in other words, this is how you reproduce it:

1. Turn off your phone

2. Shake to activate the camera

3. Hold in landscape mode so that your fingers naturally rest on/near the proximity sensor

4. Swipe to gallery and swipe back to the camera

And there you go! "Device is stowed, exiting Camera..."

As I said, I'm quite p*ssed at Motorola for not having a bug reporting/fixing pipeline set up. Please call up Motorola's support and report this bug. I love their phones, but the camera was obviously given no love. This should have been an obvious problem while testing the usability of the camera.

If you don't want it to happen, hold the phone differently while taking pictures in landscape. Put your index finger and thumb on the top and bottom of the phone so that they aren't covering the proximity sensor.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henrock11:
Hi I have a moto x and was also curious about this "issue". I only noticed on the occasions you mentioned. Is it possible that this is a precaution so that your phone doesn't take pictures while in your pocket , being that it only happens when the proximity sensor is covered or semi covered.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Desticus:
Hey guys

I have a small question about the efs backup:

I made 3 backups of it (Twrp efs partition, and two over android terminal)

Could my imei get lost if i flash some rom is it realy safe when i restore them or can i get any troubles? I read on some Website that there is some key inside the efs folder that cant backup and this key is very important.

It would be great if someone can answer this question.

Greetings Desticus
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Get root browser and copy the hole efs folder and put it on your ext sd card and pc and any were else you have. Make as many as you can. Three should be good. Then you will be ok. Everything else you have already done. Make sure to have extra copys of the twrp copy on ext sd and pc too. Bout all you can do to be safe. And ktool bk up with that too.

Here is my setup:

Nexus 7 2013 and Samsung Galaxy S4, both running ES File Explorer 3.0.5.3

Windows 7 x64 Pro (Hosting the files)

ASUS RT-AC66U

The system works just fine after a fresh reboot of my PC. After a few hours, I get the "Login Fails" error (plain text or SMB). The only way to fix it is to reboot my PC. I believe its a Windows 7 setting that causing this. I searched all over the net for a fix and none of them worked. I tried:

Enabling Guest Account

Changed Advanced Sharing Settings

Set "Everyone" as read in the File Share Window

Enabled Inbound/Outbound rules in the Advanced Windows Firewall

Enabled sending unencrypted passwords to SMB via Local Security Policy

I can go into more detail of the fixes I tried if needed. What is an alternative to sharing files from a Windows 7 machine to Android devices? I feel like Ill never get ES File Explorer to work. Thanks.

yes yes, i know, but, at night when i sleep, don't need my ppc to be in stand bye mode. a complete turn off would be great, this will cause battery to last longer i think
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] markmat:
You could always just take the battery off ;) This probably won't help either though, because it'll still draw power from the backup battery.

You've probably got to accept that PPC battery life isn't great. I've recently moved from a Treo 600 to an M2000 and the battery life is noticeably worse, but then I get to do more stuff with it.

I think some of the phone profile software may allow you to switch the radio off at certain times which would probably help. You could also try Pocket Hackmaster which allows you to configure the processor speed (although I've been trying this for a couple of days and I think I need to do more reading because I seem to have made matters worse :().
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] bob_bipbip:
ok, i've juste done a test: remove the battery, and replace the battery: no power comsuption of the external (backup) battery, and no data lost. so, now, just find a software to remove and replace the battery :lol:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mariius:
Okay, so I have s2 i9100. I have installed neatrom lite version, it is jb 4.1.2. I have fully nuked phone before installing this rom and installed dorimanx kernel afterwards. By using stweaks i choose performance profile for my phone. Even though I have disabled animations from developers menu, and I do not use any applications which would eat a lot of processing power, my phone is very slow. It was not this slow before. I mean honestly, every single damn move is with at least a minimal lag, freeze or something. What the hell is going on here? Does JB 4.1.2 on S2 is supposed to be like that.

You guys, I need some tips from your experience write here. I really have like no time for testing roms and maybe you can help me out by recommending some kind of rom, which would not have **it load of bugs and would not lag as much as this one does. I heared about CM 10.2 4.3JB but I am afraid about bugs and all that, so I think it would be a better idea to stick with 4.1.2 or 4.2.2. So, any tips? I would really appreciate some. Thanks you guys.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
I highly doubt it is caused by your rom, because almost every user is satisfied Neatrom (me included).

What kernel do you use? And what happens when you use another profile than Performance?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mariius:
Dorimanx kernel. Same things are happening.

Maybe my phone is damaged or something. A few days ago i dropped it and it was a little bit wet, but it did not turned of or anything and I can use it. About a few hours ago, something weird happened: phone was at idle, sleeping and out of nowhere that sound, when you start charging your phone appeared and backlight turned on... No reason, just happened.

Anyway, do you have any recommendations how to get rid of these issues?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
Well, I used to have a rom that was causing me trouble after I dropped my phone. The battery for example was terrible after it. A full wipe and a fresh install of a new rom (although I'm pretty sure you've made a good choice with Neatrom) cleared these problems.. Maybe you can try that?

Edit: and if you try another kernel?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Perfect Finale:
Now I have had previous Samsung Galaxy phones that I have rooted and I'm very familiar with the whole process.

However, I have never used a phone that was bought for one carrier and used on another.

I'm planning to purchase an AT&T Galaxy S4 and using it on the T-Mobile network (wish me luck).

What would be the best way to unlock the AT&T phone to use a T-Mobile SIM?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2285431​

This is what I have found, but I heard something about a USB unlock being more successful.

Once the phone is "Unlocked", and I root the device, should I be using the AT&T ROMs section, or T-Mobile? I'm going to guess AT&T because they are somewhat hardware dependent?

Lastly, will this AT&T version limit my signal in anyway (not accounting for the already possibility of bad signal)?

Meaning the AT&T version only picks up the lesser of the T-Mobile bands or signals.

If I sound like an idiot, I apologize. I've done some research and cant seem to find the right keywords to search.

Thanks in advance for any information.

Is there any way to use the three Skip dots with other NFC apps? Everytime I'm in NFC Task Launcher and touch one of the dots to the phone, the Motorola Skip setup pops up. When I cancel out of that, NFC Task Launcher doesn't recognize the dot. I've tried turning off the service, but it just respawns. I've got some more NFC tags on order that should show up next week. Is it going to do this with all NFC tags, or is there something about the Motorola ones that kick that setup off?

[Moto X Q&A] Ble_Ale:
the same question..

even i put a normal nfc tag into a moto skip, it cant be recognize too.
[Moto X Q&A] trrubicon06:
The skip tags have a specific header that the Moto X recognizes as a skip tag. If you open the skip app and try a non skip tag, it will find it and turn it into a skip if you choose. The problem is, the skip app will write protect the tag and it will only be a skip tag. The official tags are the same...they will always be a skip and nothing else.

Now I have an app that someone made to write the header to a normal tag, but without the write protect. So, the tag can be rewritten, but only with another NFC device...the Moto X will only see it as a Skip tag.

I can upload the app, once I find the thread and original creator. I don't want to post something without giving them props.:cool:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microsyntax:
Hey guys

I did a terrible mistake. Instead of just normally resetting the phone to factory settings in CWM after unlocking it, my finger slipped to the "format /system" option.

This happened before, but then I just sideloaded the rom and everything was ok. Oddly enough, this doesnt work anymore.

Whenever I want to push something to my phone using adb, I get the error that the device was not found and I cannot do anything to access the phone (when entering the command "adb devices" for example, no device shows up). I installed every driver I can think of, I installed all the packages in the sdk manager and now I dont know what to do.

I know that the debug mode is required, but since theres no OS anymore, I really ran out of ideas.

Please help me! :crying:

Points 4 and 2 are rather contradictory. "Don't buy an S4 because they look boring. 'Stand out from the crowd' and get an HTC One, just like EVERYONE else is. Or buy a Nexus, which looks even more boring than the S4."

Quit whining, just put any other rom than Touchwiz on this and it is smoother than any other phone. Ok, Touchwiz has some cool features, but you'll only use them a few times, so it isn't worth sticking with Touchwiz.

Benchmarks with aosp 4.3 outrun the LG G2 so easily, which makes it even more obvious that this phone is awesome.
[Galaxy S 4 General] om22:
exactly. and @ the guy who was whining about the low light performance of the camera: 1. you haven´t ever used a galaxy s4 - the low light performance is great 2. buy a htc one with it´s crappy 4mp sensor.

usually most photos are taken at daytime.

also i love the s4´s design and performance. everything is perfect. best screen i´ve seen till now. outstanding camera. removable battery and sd card slot and it´s very light because of the polycarbonate case. also it will outperform the htc one when getting dropped completely.

5. Underdog innovation: is just a stupid reason and yes, you will always find something else quite innovative in another phone. You should chose the innovation you will find the most useful... or maybe no software innovation at all and like me just use the plain Google Android OS with some improvements like CyanogenMod does.

4. Boring design: that's a subjective mater. I find the design awesome. It doesn't fly from your hands, it's slim, it's pleasing to the hands on cold or warm climate. I don't care at all about plastic like a lot of people do. I even despise metallic phones like iPhone or HTC. Also, why you should change a working design? I find awesome that Samasung Galaxy line design is improving on previous designs. If you're on the stupidity of getting status from your phone buy those exclusive designs for Android that costs thousands of dollars. You will be noticed then.

3. Samsung Galaxy S3: granted, there is not much a difference with it but I can talk from what I see in my country. The price difference doesn't justify buying an older phone, as they are almost priced the same and there are still some advantages from the S4. Battery is definitely better for start. The design IMO is also better, but that's just subjective you remember.

2. Google Nexus 5: I would have also added all the army of phones that are coming. You know, that's the universal "not to buy" reason for any technology?, there will always be something new. You won't end buying anything at all as Nexus 5 in six months will also be old and something better will be just around the corner. Just wait for the next big thing... eternally.
