[Google Chromecast] jamosjamos:
Hope this lights a fire

My hope is that this offering and general sentiment around the net will help push Google away from the idiocy of a closed and neutered Netflix dongle. I am excited about the possibilities for Chromecast. Google just needs to wake up and figure out that they can offer a device that will work for most consumers as a powerful, versatile tool. They need to:

1. Finish the damned SDK. Quit screwing around trying to figure out how to close up the device and release an SDK.

2. Get rid of the whitelist. If they are concerned about customer experience, they can offer a list of apps that are Google certified to work great with Chromecast, but don't block out everyone else. It's just rude.

3. Make it unlockable, rootable, hackable. Let the developers play with it. I don't think Google has even scratched the surface of what this thing can do. If they open up the device, it will grow into a real multimedia killer device.

It's not just about streaming local media (though I have to admit, I'd very much like to be able to stream files from Android and control streaming from a local PC via my phone). It's about Google having the courage to set this device free. It's the right move for consumers and it's the right move for Google. They will sell more devices and by giving up a little control right now, they will capture a bigger share of the Android multimedia market and they will help the Android multimedia market really take off. Or, they can sit on this device and lock down it's functionality (maybe give us a bone or 2 with some limited local streaming) and watch another attempt to make Android an important multimedia platform nose dive into oblivion. It's Google's choice, open up and succeed or lock it down and fail.
[Google Chromecast] HowardZ:
Roku has the local streaming capabilities which no longer exists with chromecast. Roku also supports the major Internet content providers, which chromecast does not.

The following article details which roku devices and which phones and tablets currently support local streaming

http://phandroid.com/2013/09/09/roku-app-update-local-streaming/

This might be on my holiday shopping list, and then my chromecast will be on eBay.

It appears to me that roku is a superior device at this time.
[Google Chromecast] ften:
The Roku app only streams on like 10 devices right now and I'm not sure how fast that's going to change, as I went into the apk enabled the stream capabilities for my Photon Q and every video (including ones made by the approved devices) said incompatible format. I'd think by Christmas the SDK should be out for the Chromecast.

On a side note, I love the Roku, I use it with Plex (local content) and Simple.tv (HD OTA) and its awesome.
[Google Chromecast] stilldmoney:
I got a chromecast with the understanding that the dev community had already found an exploit to root it for future development. I left my chromecast plugged in for a few hours and the darn thing updated itself without any prompts to the user. What a joke! Now I can only use it for youtube, google play music, and netflix. I am at the whims of Google if they decide to open this device to the developers so they can make this device reach its full potential.
[Google Chromecast] adrynalyne:
They exist...if you whitelist your receiver and build the app.

Sorry, but the cool toys are developer only until the SDK is finalized.
[Google Chromecast] adrynalyne:
That sucks that you can only do google play music, youtube, or netflix.

/me drops a video into a chrome tab and casts it to TV.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] RobbyTouchHD:
This is the Dolphin Browser HD 8.5.1 and a working Flash Player apk.

Just install the Dolphin Browser first and than the Flash Player.

The Flash Player is also partly working in the stock "Internet Browser App" from Samsung!

HAVE FUN :)

[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] jeffw111:
Not sure what went wrong but I'm not able to get Flash working. I tried installing in the order you suggested then tried installing Flash first then Dolphin. In both cases Flash fails to function. Any ideas what might be happening?:eek:
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] Alb-Spirit:
doesn't work on my galaxy tab 3 10.1 neither

[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] Mav_tx:
Works fine for me! Thanks a lot! :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] planinsky:
Does it works for 10.1?

Or is it only for 7 and 8 inches?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] jeffw111:
Unfortunately no it does not currently work on the 10.1 the problem appears to be related to the houdini arm code translator as near as I've been able to determine (granted I'm no programmer). I've tried to use the steps used to enable Flash in 4.1.1 but that was unfortunately not successful. Hopefully someone will be able to figure this out.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] xxtavarxx:
I hope so. I brought the 10.1 thinking I'll be able to install flash
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] papo:
On an intel, 10.1" tab, flash works in Firefox

use last Android Adobe flash App from

http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

Now, last one is:

Flash Player 11.1 for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.81)

http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk

And use Firefox browser from market. Not internal, not Dolphin. Only Firefox seems to accept flash without native libs.

It's a bit sluggish and doesn't work in full screen, but at least something, right?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] planinsky:
I was afraid to read that :(

I read in a spanish forum that the problem was with the intel core. Well, we'll have to wait and prey for someone to do some magic.

I tryed the firefox + flash combination at early september. Apparently it works, however, at least with my device, is it incredibly slow (e.g impossible to watch a video).

Anotehr browser which can handle flash is "Photon Flash Player". I guess they run flash remotely and stream the result to the browser. I wouldn't recommend it. The free version is full of ads whilst I don't trust a service which is being executed remotely.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] guru1212:
Skyfire

Skyfire browser is working very fine with all of Android devices including samsung Tab 10.1. It supports flash and it can run whatever I throw at it.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] thref23:
I installed the latest version of Dolphin on my new T211 yesterday. Flash works great; on my previous "phone" I was using 8.5.1 because I thought otherwise I would lose flash; all for naught. I was going to stick to 8.5.1 except pinch to zoom didn't work (which is odd because it had previously worked for me). Turns out I was better off updating Dolphin, and enjoying the static address bar all along.

Figured I'd share.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lp1527:
Hi,

New to S4 (just came from HTC One). Looking to flash a ROM that is close to stock, but improves performance, removes bloat, and perhaps adds some features. Mostly looking for performance improvement as I've noticed very slight lag/stutter in a few places (before anyone jumps on me, the lag/stutter I notice is certainly minimal and not severe :). Don't want CM or GE right now as I want/need to maintain some stock/TouchWiz features (i.e. Wifi Calling).

There are so many ROMs in the development sections- any suggestions?

Thanks much!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
Wicked ROM.:) or even Infamous S4. Both tmobile base Rom which retained Wi-Fi calling with lots of added features.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrPapito429:
Why, he wants our opinions. Should you really stop him from being curious?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Adam0524:
Good for you.

But to the OP Infamous and Wicked are in my opinion the best 2 Tmo touchwiz ROMs available.

But of course everyone has different preferences so I suggest try them all out and go with the one that best suits you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrPapito429:
If you use all the air and hover controls and WiFi calling, stay with Roms like wicked and other touchwiz based roms. If you don't use these and would like a sleek look then go for Google Edition 4.3. In my opinion I love 4.3 and could not ask for more. Of course that is my opinion though so I recommend try all if not most of the tw romsz then the 4.3 and then make your decision. Remember to reset flash counter if you plan to get it fixed if brick though

---------- Post added at 02:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 AM ----------

Make a backup before installing any ROM though so if you don't like 4.3 then you can go back to 4.2.2 without a problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jok3r10:
WICKED V6 .. it the best rom out there .. that i tried :D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jayharper08:
As this will undoubtedly turn into a "best rom" thread (which are not allowed here), I will have to close this one. You will have to just research and try them for yourself, OP. Thank you for understanding. :highfive:

hi all.

I know it might sound a stupid or daft question, but obviously I have the Samsung galaxy s4 i9505 with jellybean 4.2.2

but how do I check what version of sense I have on it, as iv heard when jellybean 4.3 comes out that sense 5 comes with it is this true?

what is sense - is this just the layer on top of the operating system, or is this only on HTC mobiles
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hovax615@hotmail.com:
Usually Sense is only HTC devices touchwiz would be Samsung's version its just the home screen layout. But the international version would have aosp just the stock android feeling without all the bloat.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] searius:
Hi guys!

Im a noob in this section of the forum :p.

I just bough a Htc One from someone and it was the version from Taiwan.

Its the version Htc One 801e.

I live in Greece ,Europe so I tried to make my Htc an Euoropen one. ;)

What I did the first thing was be unlocked ,S-Off and to change CID so now I have SuperCid.

Than I tried to change and the Model ID.

I took the tutorial from here and the file from step 2 just f@#*t my new phone.I could boot in fastboot only but the screen was washed with many colors.I installed a wrong hboot.

I dont know why I needet this file because the zip file was for Htc Dna.

What I did to revive my phone was to download the firmware zip file from here and install it like the other one. :laugh:

Now do I need the change Model ID so I can use the RUU for European Version or I'm ok with SuperCid an S-Off?

If yes any good tutorial because the last one wasnt a good one! :mad:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
You have no reason to try to change model id. S-off and eng hboots are serious stuff, you could easily brick your phone. Set super cid. Flash ruu. Good to go.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] searius:
OK thanks m8!

So with SuperCid and S-Off I am ok to flash any RUU???
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
Yes, but you won't get OTA updates.

Or LTE.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] searius:
To receive Ota upadates should I update and the Model Id???

I know that I can not have LTE because the modem is for 3g only!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
MID and CID need to be correct, then you can flash the correct RUU or backup of a suitable ROM, and then OTAs should appear. Of course, you'll need stock recovery to install them.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] searius:
I have now supercid 11111111 and mid PN0711000

So to make my HTC One like a Europian Version I should change the Cid to HTC__001 and Mid to PN0710000 ???:confused:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
I'm not 100% on this, but I believe mid does not matter. With the Google edition, people who did not change mid still received ota's. Plus changing the mid is a lot riskier than changing the cid.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] searius:
Thats why I am asking here id I need to change the MID.

I want this for the European RUU so I will have a Htc One like a 801n expect of the LTE that I will not have because of the radio!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
The conversion will work just fine without changing the MID. Its the ota's I'm not sure about.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] searius:
Thats why I am asking,if I need to change the MID to receive otas from European RUU that I use!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
As I said before, you should because GPe phones get their update with any mid, but there's no way to be certain until an ota comes out.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuerrillaDawg:
So, I've been having screen problems for a while now. Just thought I had an unique case until I started reading about the S4 problems:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2253881

After reading those problems and watching the many youtube videos, I noticed how similar those issues were to my S3 issues too. I too have a lot of smearing/ghosting when I scroll around on sites and phone settings. Especially white text on black background and black text on white background. I don't even have to scroll that fast to see the effect.

It also happens during games. When I swipe slowly in circular motions, you can see a ghost of objects and text following the original. I know every screen in the world has a bit of morion blur, but it's way too visible on the S3, especially since it's a high end phone.

Anyone else has this issue?

Hello Xda forums,

I need a hide an application from others. Ok, so lets use A's and B's. So there is this B application, that has permission to "retrieve running apps" and it detects if whether A is running or not. So, I want to prevent A from being detected by B. I tried Xprivacy, didn't really helped out, I guess preventing it from retrieve all apps just causes the B to crash. Anyways, any ideas?

Hi, I am currently using the VZW Google Edition ROM 5.9 and have service and WiFi. My problem is it only connects to 3G, and not 4G. As advised, I have not gone into network settings, but I did open Phone Info and see that it is set to LTE/CDMA auto. Any reason I am not getting LTE?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Heatshiver:
Just a thought, but maybe you could check the APN settings and see if they are different than what you should have.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nolanw:
Thanks for the response. I am kind of new to this, where do I check the APN settings and how do I know what I should have? Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] _Gir_:
Do you have LTE coverage in your area? If so, can you use another phone/friend to double check if LTE is working? I only ask because we had LTE go out where we live.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Heatshiver:
Gir brings up a good point, I don't have 4G where I am (and probably won't for years!), but that may be simplest as long as they use the same network (although many carriers piggyback off the same network).

The APN settings should be under "Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names". On a stock ROM you have to get to the actual file through ADB, you should be able to see it if you have an aftermarket ROM. The settings for the APN will depend upon Verizon. Here is a good post with APN settings for Verizon, the first part is for Android.

Coverage could always be the issue as that has plagued me more times than not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
From the ROM thread:

Go into mobile network settings.

Verify that your CDMA subscription is set to RUIM and not NV.

For good measure go into the rest of the options and set it to CDMA/LTE, automatic, and allow data roaming.

Back out to your home screen.

Then go into Phone Info app.

Scroll to bottom and tap radio off.

Open the drop down list and select CDMA/LTE auto (PRL).

Turn the radio back on.

Reboot.

Upon reboot open Phone Info again.

Verify it is set to CDMA/LTE auto (PRL)

** you should have full service now * *

** if not * *

In Phone_Info(*#*#4636#*#*):

Try CDMA auto (PRL)

Then try CDMA/GSM/LTE

If those still don't work then your nv_data needs reset. The only way to do that is in the hidden menu dialer codes in a touchwiz-stocktype rom

If you destroy your nv_data and cannot get data back via the above you need to (stop screwing with your network settings)flash back to a TW ROM, enable hidden menu, and do a NV data reset via dialer code. After doing that make sure your phone is not in modem mode under diag dialer code. Until I update this section Google is your friend. And it is available information, verified. Your lack of searching skills doesn't mean pester my inbox...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nolanw:
I do have LTE in my area, as I had 4G before I loaded the rom. I do not have an APN menu under mobile networks. Do you think it could help to dial *228 option 2 to update roaming? Or possibly a new 4G sim card?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Heatshiver:
Anything about updating I would research first and be wary of... A new SIM card could help, but I'm assuming it is not the problem. Did you make a NANDROID before you changed ROMs? You could then go back and see it you still got 4G to make it evident if your SIM card is the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nolanw:
FIXED

Just needed a new sim card. Thanks guys. I appear to be receiving signal bars with my LTE on the GPE rom as well.
