My man - I was just playing around. Sometimes you need a little sarcasm to get through the day. My apologies if I offended you. I have no beef and I wasn't trying to make fun. I can see how you would think that and I'm sorry for that. I've been on reddit all weekend and it must have rubbed off on to my xda postings ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carycooke:
Ive seen you in other post and you do help out alot so its all good
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hälftebyte:
This is not dual booting at all.. ROM Toggler uses nandroid backups to switch between Roms. Everytime you want to switch Roms you have to wait minutes nandroid backup and restore, that's definitely not dual booting.

With Devil you use the same kernel for each rom whether TW or AOSP, each Rom has it's own partition for apps... it's just a completely different concept.

Telling the OP he can dual boot with any ROM and any kernel is misleading. My 2 cents :good:

Anyway, buying Tasker is not a bad idea :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carycooke:
Yea after doing some research I notice it just works off of nandroids and doesn't dual boot and it was misleading so devils dual boot is still the way to go in my opinion
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshm.1219:
Yeah that's what I said lol. But what's the difference?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hälftebyte:
Well the difference is that with ROM toggler you don't have two Roms installed on your device at the same time, only one. With dual booting you have two roms installed at once using the same single kernel, yet still in there own storage space/partition...

Rom toggler (+ Tasker) only automates and speeds up the process of backing up and restoring nandroids so as to allow for a faster switch between Roms rather than manually rebooting to recovery, backing up, and then restoring another nandroid. Rom Toggler is a very adhoc way to switch between Roms.

Maybe someone else can explain better how different the two methods are.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshm.1219:
Oh I know exactly what the technical difference is. I'm asking what's the difference in reality?

Sent from my SCH-I605 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hälftebyte:
Biggest difference in reality- Waste of time and space making nandroids..

Every time I install a new app, get new sms etc, I have to make a nandroid before I can switch to the next Rom or I lose everything.. Ineffecient use of time and space.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshm.1219:
That's the point of the toggler lol it automates and speeds up the process. Dual booting off devil shares no data between the two ROMs.

Sent from my SCH-I605 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carycooke:
But don't you have to go through complete setup and tweaking things like you like then make a backup ? That takes time alot actually
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshm.1219:
I don't know exactly what you mean but the initial setup isn't simple. After that though, it's one button you press for it to backup and restore another nandroid. The devil method still requires you to shut down and boot to recovery, then boot the other rom.

It would take around two minutes longer with the toggler method. In my opinion, that's worth it for the advantages of being able to open as many rooms as you have the storage space for, along with any kernels you want.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MunkinDrunky:
I really like the advantage of rom toggler and tasker not to just switch between roms via nandroids but to also through each nandroid restore to bring along your sms, and all that data you back up from the other rom. With dualboot even though they have separate partitions, it seems like you could still do the same thing as keeping that data backed up from one and restoring to the other as you switch, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshm.1219:
You could with titanium, either way you can do use Tasker to automate the process.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hälftebyte:
Going to recovery to choose which Rom to boot is unnecessary. Devil tools app is the easier way to specify which Rom to boot on next reboot.

The amt of time to nandroid backup and restore depends on the amt of apps you have installed. The last time I did a nandroid backup it was 4gb large and it took 4mins just to backup.

However, we all have our own preferences. I won't argue debate this anymore.. the fact remains that toggler is not true dual booting
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshm.1219:
I'm not trying to argue anything , no one's saying it's true dual booting, just saying it takes a little longer but offers more versatility

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeremiahEJ54:
Since you mentioned about using Devil tools app, I gave it a shoot and it worked however now I am stuck in primary and can not get back to secondary even using recovery. The sec. is still there but I just can not boot to it. If you can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. If not I will check the other related threads for advice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshm.1219:
did u dl the one from the play store? i think you're supposed to be using the apk from his thread because it's still in beta for our phone.

if that's the case it could be causing problems.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it was user error....I had the the stock kernel installed for my primary rom, flash the devil kernel Bob's your uncle it works
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hälftebyte:
Good you figured it out. I hadnt come across that issue..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dick_Stickitinski:
Just how much faster does rom toggler make the backup/restore process? My last nandroid took 12+ minutes with MD5 disabled... Does it do backups incrementally after the first one? ( I know I could check the thread out myself but Where's the fun in that? )

used Devil's and really loved it, however I'm stuck on TransNeb ROM now and haven't used it since...

To fix the google service data feast without losing battery life or connection to the servers do the following:

1) Download autorun manager.

2) Open it and picked advanced(recommended).

3) In setting check show system entries.

4) Go back to the main screen and on the left top corner pick system apps.

5) find google service framework and expands it.

6) find systemUpdateService$Receiver and uncheck it (should be the last one).

7) You can also uncheck systemUpdateService$SecretCode just in case( I got it disabled).

Samsung going metal body apple going plastic ? What is happening
[Moto X General] dem389:
I currently have a G-Nex and started off flashing new ROMS fairly often, but as Android has matured I have found it less necessary to flash ROMS for performance purposes. I mainly flash ROMS now to try out various features ie Pie controls.

My question is any crack flasher out there buy the Moto X even though it will probably be limited in development? If so have you felt the need to flash ROMS or is the stock ROM stable/smooth enough to appease you? I know a dev version will be out eventually, but I'm wondering if it is necessary to wait for it.
[Moto X General] showstopper03:
I was flashing my rom on my s4 about once a week if not more, sometimes a lot more. I've only had it two days but have not wanted to flash yet. I do want root though. The biggest thing I miss is paranoid android. I loved pie and being able to customize quick settings and pull down quick toggle from tip right of screen.

---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ----------

I also really miss circle battery
[Moto X General] MVPete1:
I just got the phone today.

I was a Galaxy Nexus user from launch day (Verizon). And let me tell you, the Moto X is AWESOME. The performance is incredible (I find it snappier than the GS4's I've played around with), the battery is far superior to what I had grown accustomed to on the GNex (and I haven't even gone through a full cycle yet, so it's just gonna get better!). The features like Active Notifications and Touchless Control are really nifty, especially the Active Notifications. Despite the screen being 4.7", the form factor is actually smaller than the Gnex which boggled my mind. I love how it feels in my hands.

At the moment, I'm not concerned about the lack of a dev community. I'm sure when 5.0 launches and I can't get a build running day of I'll be a little envious of the Nexus owners who do have it running (granted, I have a 2012 Nexus 7 so I'll at least be able to play with that haha). I do miss some things like Pie Controls, the Cyanogenmod MMS APK, having access to stuff like Titanium Backup and the like, but the positives with the Moto X far outweigh the stuff I miss. And who knows, someone might eventually crack the code and we might get the best of both worlds but until then, I'm more than pleased with this phone.
[Moto X General] tw1tch175:
I used to be really bad but now all I want is root. Wouldn't mind a slightly custom rom to allow custom lock screen short cuts and get rid of the damn ATT logo but outside of that I really don't need anything that this phone doesn't offer.
[Moto X General] basedboii:
All I miss is pie controls/full screen mode. Stock is smooth.
[Moto X General] ShamanicEnzan:
I think some guys here have figured how to do that, we just need root on ATT
[Moto X General] kornklown69:
I was a crack flasher but i can bare to wait until we have root this stockish experience is amazing
[Moto X General] flashallthetime:
As i am one of the luck moto x which is rooted, xposed framework works surprisingly well, no need for a custom ROM, IMO any custom ROM will have all the Motorola goodies removed such as touch less control, may as well pick up a Sammy s4 and be like everyone else. Root is all you need

[Moto X General] tw1tch175:
Only AOSP roms, most devices have roms that stick pretty close to stock but give you a few tweaks to play with. That being said stock android really doesn't need much, the only thing I really want is customizable lockscreen shortcuts and a quick flashlight mod.
[Moto X General] flashallthetime:
That's all available through xposed mods, the only thing I miss is the brightness slider.

Dual panel, full call screen pics, clock, battery, carrier label and more are all easily done with xposed. Cyanogenmod clock is available with an app

[Moto X General] Bill Idol:
Man that's good to hear. I have a GNote2 and was just getting tired of the big screen. I purchased the Moto X today and it seems like something that will satisfy my small phone craving. I will miss all the themes and titanium backup when rooted. So what you've just said puts my crack flashing needs at ease. Thanks. I do hope that someone is able to unlock the boot loader because after having a Droid X I thought I would never get a Motorola device again. I do wonder when the Developer Edition does become available if we will be able to trade in for one?

All I want other than 4.3 (for trim) is root for adaway. Everything else is perfect on this device!
[Moto X General] _MetalHead_:
No desire to flash a ROM with this phone. I just want to be able to use autostarts and TiB. Once we have root, it will be PERFECT.
[Moto X General] MVPete1:
Yeah I think the only thing I'd really want on the phone is 4.3 just because. I am curious though because it seems like Moto super optimized the kernel/software to run so smooth, I wonder if a custom rom would be unable to duplicate Moto's optimizations.
[Moto X General] ShamanicEnzan:
Yeah that's why I don't really want a bootloader unlock (it'd be nice) but rooting will let me do most of what I wanted.
[Moto X General] csamolot:
Yeah the only thing I miss is root. Other than that its perfect. I have my nexus 7 for my flashing needs.
[Moto X General] mau006:
I've heard the Moto X already uses trim even though it's on 4.2.2. I'm getting a Verizon Moto X tomorrow. I can't believe I'm leaving the Nexus/Prepaid/Crackflasher lifestyle, but it's a long story.

I'm a dad and a very busy web/app developer, so I kind of look forward to no longer feeling the compulsion to constantly flash new ROMs. With the locked bootloader of the Verizon Moto X, I suppose that will help curb my urges :p

I've always loved how I can come to XDA, find a new ROM or mod, and suddenly my old smartphone feels like a new toy. I'm hoping that the Moto X will be such a solid device I can live without that somewhat time consuming and battery/stability endangering habit. Instead of being a leach on the Developer threads, I hope to become more of a contributor to other types of threads instead.
[Moto X General] DiGi91:
Was a crackflasher; constantly flashing ROMs to my S3 until I finally found a ROM I settled on (M.O.A.R) I love the near stock experience of the Moto X all I really want is root for adaway and it would be nice to get a ROM built off stock OTA with lockscreen tweaks and what not. Overall I'm loving this phone and can't get over how snappy this thing is!

On top of all that I don't have much time to mess with ROMs anymore as I am working full time and really need my phone to "just work" After a while you lose interest after setting up your phone for the millionth time! Coming from the S3 where AOSP was still very broken it is a nice change.
[Moto X General] FligMupple:
I was a frequent flasher, trying various ROMs on my Galaxy S3, and then Note 2, and then HTC One.

When I got the Moto X a few days ago I checked out the this new XDA forum section... and was (at the time) sad there were not alternative ROMs.

However, after a few days of use I discovered the Moto X stock ROM is GREAT! There really is nothing missing/annoying that would normally get me ROM hunting. Plus, there already is a XPosed module that offers some extra customization. And amazingly, the Rogers version of the phone has no bloatware at all that I can see.

So the great Moto X stock ROM has cured me of crack flashing!
[Moto X General] jlambeth1:
I also am kind of happy to take a break from the crackflashing habit. My Note 2 was lucky to survive 3 days without me flashing some new ROM. I factory reset my X this morning due to a camera that wouldn't initialize here and there but I hope I can avoid that from here on out. Setting up everything again without Titanium Backup was a pain!!

Just came from the Galaxy Nexus. Could not be happier with this phone, no need to flash anything

Water has damaged ONLY my power button. It went from working to only working when held down to not working except for every 100th press or so. Is the internal power button separated from the board or what? Can this be fixed easily or am I gonna have to invest in a new phone.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jason504:
You can try taking it apart and make sure everything is still connected and make sure it's not wet inside I did it with a ZTE warp I had and it worked for me just be real carefull
[LG Optimus G Pro] NaveenKumarXDA:
Try visiting service center if its not so wet. May be you can still claim warranty. Best of luck if you want to take risk on opening. Be very careful. Also you will get power button after dis assembly of mobile.

Be very careful.

Just hope the Warrently/AT&T Does NOT see it if it did get wet enough, Yea theres a water mark behind the battery door near the camera..

If they find any water damage they charge you full retail for the phone and keep your old one so your basically buying the phone they sent you.
[LG Optimus G Pro] JunkheadINC:
I don't see it on mine. What color would it be if it got water on it and what color if it didn't?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
When Taking off your Battery back of the phone you see the camera, Look to the right of it its between the camera and the flash a little dot, It should be White, If its red then its gotten wet.
[LG Optimus G Pro] JunkheadINC:
Rock on, its white. When it got wet I didn't notice til the next day. When I took the battery off the underside of the battery was soaked. The inside lense of the camera has water drops all in it. I couldn't even take a picture because it just looked like a blur. Somehow the water missed that. I left it in rice for a good 10hrs total. U think it got all the water out? Got another suggestion to be safe so ATT doesn't charge me 579 bucks?
[LG Optimus G Pro] JunkheadINC:
That's what ATT told me this morning was the price of my phone.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
I would had told that AT&T rep off if they told me that lol. The Phone is only $439 before tax to buy it outright has been for over a month now. lol

Well they are internal Wet indicators, It is taking a risk doing warranty though but you never know til it happens sadly.

Hi guys!

I've been experiencing this 'issue' (I really don't know how to call it) for a while now; it's going to be more than five months since I have the Z with me (I'm a really happy costumer :) and I don't know precisely when it started, so I'm expecting for your fresh view on the subject :D

When in the Camera app, sometimes, it looks like the camera is really making an effort focusing, leading to a 'pop' (or 'tac') sound, like if the lens just jumped in there. I don't really know for sure, what's causing this. Not mentioning I'm kind of embarrased if this turns out to be a REALLY dumb question :P

Hope you guys can clarify my mind on this.

I've posted this in the GideonX BMS kernel thread of the androis development section as well. Hope someone can help. . I'm currently,or I was up until tonight, running Chris123NT's variation of the 10.2 unofficial build dated 8/29 with GideonX's 8/15 kernel. Its been running fine fore 2 days. Today I went on a hike and used my tracks,the stock camera and the focal camera. At about 9pm I decided to reboot the phone, I was having some problems with ford sync and iheartauto. This has been, what appears to be, a fatal mistake. The phone hung in a bootloop at the BMS splash screen. When I try to use twrp 2.6.0.0 it immediately asks for a password, which I've never set, and if I hit cancel it appears as if there is no data on the internal or external storage. Am I up craps creek? I've search for info on this and came up with very little other than some buzz about a hard brick. Sure hope thats not the case and someone can help. I'd been running masta's builds and gideonx's builds until the other day when I hoped to get some RIL lovin' in Chris' new build. Please help!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Well you definitely aren't hard bricked, and you're still rooted and unlocked or the Verizon triangle would come up.

See if you can Google "twrp password" or something similar, maybe there's some kind of default password it's asking for.

If nothing comes up, Try to find an Odin flashable file of twrp, as recent as you can find. See if you can overwrite the recovery partition and at least get to a backup to restore from.

As a last resort, boot into download mode and Odin back to stock. You'll lose all your data but at least you'll have a working phone.
