[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siebitup:
I remember a post I read a long time ago wishing that someone could develop a camera app with an

incremental manual focus feature

, that gave an on screen bar that you'd move to control the focus. No one found a solution. After playing with the LG G2, I've found that the camera app has that feature.

If anyone more proficient at app development could create an apk usable for other android phones based off of the LG G2, I would be MOST appreciative; I also believe many people in this community would be grateful as well. :D
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yerand:
It won't work on other phones due to differences in hardware and software.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mky4b11:
this was one reason i bought the g2 was for that manual focus bar...

when i had my lumia 810 wp8 phone, there was an app in store called proshot that gave you this feature, i loved it. then i got my htc one, and wish i had it for some nice macro shots. now my g2 has it. yay

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DevXen:
I got my phone (The day it was released), rooted it, but didn't install a recovery.. or kernel. really just wanted to restore apps with Titanium backup.

Everything was fine. until today. it had restarted and updated the system on it's own. that was fine. then it had a notification from samsung to update the system, so i clicked on that, it said it was reboot twice and take several minutes, it installed, started up, everything was working great, then a message came up saying system would reboot. i clicked okay. it restarted. and now its stuck on the yellow splash screen

i've taken the battery out. same thing.. i'm not sure what to do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
Why did you accept an update while rooted.? It should have failed to install.

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

The only think I can think of is to Odin back to stock unrooted. Since you can't flash anything. Or Odin a kernel (cwm/twrp) then wipe the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DevXen:
I did'nt accept it. it just did it. .. but I got it working. i took out the SD Card. and the SimCard, and started up and it worked

then put them back and it worked. i haven't restarted again yet with them in it.. but i'm sure it was just stuck on finalizing the update

i'm likely not rooted anymore either. damnit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DevXen:
Yup Root is gone. grr.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D.A.N.:
I was wondering if there was any work being done with a pure AOSP rom or any other roms that will theme with a locked bootloader.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrocadileUT78:
The answer is sort-of...

No, you cannot unlock the boot loader if you the latest ota.

Yes, you can root and install safestrap, then look for a desirable ROM.

The third option I played with is replace as many of the Motorola apps as you can with the aosp versions. It is dangerous, I only tried it with email and that worked great, but I moved on to contacts and totally screwed up the ROM forcing me to flash back to stock and redo everything.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukkypuggy:
There is a work around for the latest OTA ;) hehehe

Flash the stock.IMG in fastboot with the toolkit. It will flash a compatible version where you can unlock and root from there.

If you want AOSP... Carbon ROM is the closest in my opinion so far...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrocadileUT78:
Can you elaborate more on this process? What do you mean unlock, I thought that was impossible now? Which toolkit? So confused.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PantherVT:
Has this method been tested and confirmed?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukkypuggy:
There is a Root Toolkit here in one of the forums, look for version 1.20

By unlock I mean unlocking the bootloader. It is only impossible if you don't flash an earlier version of the stock.img.

Yes it is confirmed, that is how I am running Carbon right now ;)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrocadileUT78:
So you had the 78 update, and downgraded, then unlocked bootloader? Everything else I read said that doesn't work. I'm so confused.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PantherVT:
I didnt think one could downgrade if they had a locked boot loader?! Anyone who had actually achieved this please chime in here.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistPhoenix:
Curious as well how did you go about this? I thought it was impossible to unlock on latest ota. If this is the case, why has this not been brought up earlier?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukkypuggy:
Yes, I had the .78 OTA and then I downgraded to a compatible version to get root then unlock and flash a custom ROM.

I don't know if my case was for some reason special but I also never got the "Boot loader is unlocked warning" either.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistPhoenix:
I might be able to test this, but can you explain, by steps, how you did this?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloosecannon:
Did you buy it used? If so, when? If you did, it may have already been unlocked...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukkypuggy:
Here is the kit I use: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2249773

First backup your data and im not responsible if you cause the apocalypse :P

OK. chose option #1. It will flash a rootable version.

Next to root, choose option #5.

Next chose option #6 to ULOCK your bootloader.

Next chose either option 3 or 4 for a custom recovery. (I like CWM)

Have fun. that is exactly What I Did.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistPhoenix:
So just making sure, you were on the 4.1.2 ota prior to doing this right? Based on the notice posted on that utility thread, you are not suppose to use it if you were on the latest ota, which is the same one that locked the bootloader (unless stood corrected). So did you take a leap of faith and went ahead and did it even though it was warned to not do it, and did you ended up succeeding?

Was your phone bought new, or do you know if it's previous owner unlocked it before you got a hold of it, which would explain how you were able to, IF it wasn't used and modified prior?

Also, when you flashed the "compatible version" was it that you flashed the 4.1.2 update found in the utility or did you change it out to another image found here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/scorpion_mini_xt907/list.php

Just wandering, because if so, this is phenomenal news for those who have do not possess the ability to unlock normally because they took the recent ota. I am sure that like everyone else, including myself, we just want to know if this is safe to follow or not, no pointing fingers or bad accusations.

Thanks
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukkypuggy:
Yes, I did indeed took a leap of faith.

The phone was

brand spanking new

from Best Buy.

I flashed the one found in the utility.

If you dont trust it I TOTALY understand. I just wanted it so bad that I really didnt care.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrocadileUT78:
I believe you... Now the question is who is brave enough to take a leap of faith? I would love to unlock by boot loader to ensure I will get the latest Android versions moving forward. I don't trust Verizon to let an upgrade thru beyond 4.1.2. I would test your procedure myself, but I'm too dependent on my phone for work right now.

So... Anyone? Anyone? Be a hero folks, somebody take the plunge! Pretty please?

---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

Also, I feel obligated to mention this, and i do it with a heavy heart... A few weeks ago I seriously screwed up my phone playing with the contacts apk, breaking my ability to view my contacts or dial a number. I got desperate enough that even though I was on .78, used the utility and stock image to revert back everything fresh. I was so relieved when I saw it worked despite the warnings and being a slightly older rom version. Once I did that, I'm 75% sure I did trying unlocking the BL before installing .78 OTA, and it did not work. I figured I had nothing to lose at that point, and when it failed I just shrugged and continued getting my phone back to normal. Sorry if this discourages any brave souls, but again I am not 100% sure I followed the same steps Mentioned in this thread.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistPhoenix:
Thank you for the response. I do plan on testing this later on today on a locked, new M so I will be able to verify completely. Everyone sit tight :)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukkypuggy:

Download this .zip file once you have flashed the compatible stock version and have root.

As long as it says status code: 3 in the bootloader you are unlocked
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistPhoenix:
Ok guys here are the results, sadly I could not achieve unlock with a unmodified, unrooted Razr M :( :

1. Turned off and started AP Fastboot mode. Used mattlgroff's Razr M Utility to flash to Android 4.1.2 98.15.66.XT907.Verizon.en.US system image. The flash worked perfectly I was able to downgrade to ota prior before the locked bootloader.

2. Used mattlgroff's Utility to root my device (step 5). I was able to root the device with SuperSU.

3. Used the seperate motopocalypse program by Dan Rosenberg found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2226729. It ran and rebooted to AP fastboot mode. I received the folowing errors:

"TrustZone target address resolved to 2a020a02"

"TrustZone write failed: -11"

This indicated that the bootloader TrustZone which is needed to unlock, was still locked and that it couldn't make changes to properly unlock the device.

So for the time being, this method to unlock the bootloader does not work. I am thinking about trying the 4.1.1 system image instead, but I fear that since the bootloader is its own entity, that those that took the recent OTA had the TrustZone patched to the point where it cannot be written to period, even on a lower firmware. The best thing that could happen is for a miracle to occur and an exploit to be found to write to the TrustZone again.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukkypuggy:
Mine had the -11 error also but it also said status code 3 in the actually bootloader, Then I flashed CWM and that was it, now I have CM10.1.3 STABLE.

Maybe double check?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistPhoenix:
Got status code 0, sadly.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zombolt:
I for one will be pleased as punch if luckypuggy isn't yanking our chain on this. I miss cm10.1!

I'm getting a new droid RAZR M in a couple hours I'll try this method and see if it works. Wish me luck.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistPhoenix:
Yeah, I was rooted before attempting unlock.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloosecannon:
Did you buy your phone used? I strongly suspect you got it pre-unlocked when you got the phone
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukkypuggy:
I got mine for free at Best Buy when I was eligable for an upgrade, BRAND SPANKIN NEW free plastic and all.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloosecannon:

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrocadileUT78:

http://d-h.st/Jwg (latest one I've seen)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Is the camera broken or does it say it can't access gallery? If it's the issue with accessing gallery, you should still be able to take photos, you just won't be able to see them after you take them or open gallery. You can still view pics through your file explorer. The gallery issue comes from kernel compatiblity. I ran into this issue when I ran CM10 on SS when my BL was still locked. The only ROMs that would work were stock based ROMs with the same OTA version as the stock slot. If if I needed to take pics, I would switch back to my stock (safe) side and take pics. It was inconventient, yes, but it's about all I could do.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megaghostgamer:
Yeah the issue is the cannot connect to camera. Guess I'm sticking to stock lol
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leraeniesh:
Use the CM10 (4.1) camera from some of builds prier to it's addition.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xMrArnoldx:
Im having the same issue with my camera on the eclipse rom with SS :p
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
You'll probably run into this on any ROM that doesn't have the same kernel as the stock slot.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xMrArnoldx:
is there a better rom i can use with SS?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Right now, I don't think there are any SS compatible ROMs that are made to work with the newest kernel. Your best bet is to use SS to make a backup of your stock ROM and then start tweaking it. There are several older ROMs that were built in the March/April timeframe that will work with SS, but you'll run into the camera issues.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zombolt:
A while back someone mentioned that ss rom development would start up again, I hope that person is right. I would love to be able to flash roms again!

[Android Apps and Games] hypdStark:
Most cameras only support autofocus and it is handled by the system not app itself.

You can touch where to focus/set focus at macro or infinity. The slider in that app allows as much only.. macro >auto/touch>infinity.

There are a few other modes but none provide any precise control over focus.

P.S. I could be wrong, you can check out Camera.Parameters for more info.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] CNexus:
If you have root, you can get the AOSP lockscreen by renaming all of the Idlescreen_*.apk files to Idlescreen_*.apk.bak or to anything else that does not end in apk
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Frankie1588:
Where are these files? Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] one4thewings:
\system\app\

There are 7 of them.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Frankie1588:
Would these hold on reboots? I thought \system\app wouldn't hold on reboot due to write protection.

Lastly, if they do hold on reboot would I be able to return to stock by changing it back to .apk?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] one4thewings:
Those are great questions that hopefully CNexus can answer for you because I haven't a clue. In fact, I've been waiting to hear back on your experience before trying it myself. =)

It seems to me that it should work as expected if the files were renamed but I'm not sure about the write protection though.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] CNexus:
Flash aroma file manager in recovery and rename from there. If you do it while the system is booted it will not hold since there is no kernel source to disable system write protection at the moment
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Frankie1588:
I just tried this, but it does not show /app under /system. Only /bin. Any idea why?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jstaff48:
Just saw this in the Q/A forum. Props to XPEric who stumbled upon it.

Without root you can get the ASOP lockscreen.

1. Go to system/apps

2. Copy HTCLockscreen.apk

3. Paste in /sdcard

4. Try to install (it will fail)

5. Reboot and you will have the ASOP lockscreen

I have no idea why this works but it does.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Frankie1588:
Yeah, the problem is there doesn't seem to be a way to reverse it if you were to change your mind (except with a backup of course). The solution here (if rooted) would allow me to rename the files to get the HTC Lockscreen back if I changed my mind.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] CNexus:
Did you make sure system was mounted?

Hello. Basically I need to know are the Touch-Capacitive buttons on the Skyrocket part of the screen or a separate part altogether? Can they be replaced? My friend gave me the phone and it works just fine it's just that before he gave it to me he accidentally dropped it in water so the only issue I have is the buttons will stop working at random times. The screen still functions just fine but the buttons will not respond whatsoever. They'll still light up but I cannot press them. Thank you for your time. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
Use lmt launcher or a rom with PIE or nav bar built in. No need for capacitive buttons anymore. Cheaper than replacement too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jadwv2210:
I think I saw somewhere awhile back that the capacitive buttons are actually separate from the screen itself. You can look up a teardown on Google though to confirm it.

Capacitive buttons are indeed separate. Replacing them without damaging the screen can be tricky, though.

I'd clean the main board of the phone and the connectors.

Not unless you have access to precision solder equipment and know the pin-outs for the IC and Radio portion of the WiFi section... it is unlikely that HTC would make that information available.

Also, since this section is integrated into the mainboard, it may involve multi-layer extraction... not fun.

Tell your boss to send his device to PocketPCTechs for a screen replacement... or at least keep the XDA IIs for parts...
