There are no BEST ROMs. Only what is best for you, your phone, your apps, your setup, your usage, your location and your signal strength.

Members are expected to read and try the ROMs to see what is best for them. If you read the ROM threads you will see that each has its loyal following thinking that ROM is the best.

Hey Everyone,

I am having an issue with task and calendar sync.

If I create a task or appointment on my PPC and set the remider option, after synch'ing the reminder does not come accross to outlook and so does not pop up on my PC.

I have experienced this sporadically with a number of devices but it happens all of the time with my O2 mini/Imate Jam/Magician.

Any ideas would be really helpful.

Thanks

so whatya guys think about the developer edition ? no bloatware and no carrier logo and everything from the carrier stuff inside this phone ? pure unlocked ?

but it's $649 + $50 with taxes ?

No warranty if you unlock it. No thanks. You have to buy a 3rd party warranty

[Moto X Q&A] Turb0wned:
Yes you can order the T Mobile model.

I don't see why people don't like the 2 tone. I like it a lot.
[Moto X Q&A] Infekxion:
From what I understand it is. I think they should have just sold it unlocked with warranty and Motomaker option. Seriously, almost Stock Android with useful extra features, color options, fully unlocked, and a version for every service provider? Moto could have more people ditching iOS and Touchwiz by doing that.

Maybe ugly was the wrong word, I've seen ugly phones (brown Galaxy decives) The two tone just doesn't sit well with some, like myself. There should just be options like custom ordered cars.

I've seen them but from reading the description all I can gather is sim unlocked which is easy if you buy the phone outright. Another thing I dont think Canadian carriers put logos on their devices either, I could be wrong.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convolution:
So I got another Nexus 4 for my sister. My computer didn't have a Nexus 4 toolkit, so I thought I didn't install any drivers on my comp, so I downloaded Nexus 4 Toolkit and installed the drivers. I connect her phone to my comp. It installs the adb driver and says device is ready. I go to My Computers and I don't see it there. I uncheck MTP. Computer proceeds to try and install and random driver and said it failed. I check PTP. Computer successfully installed driver and ADB works. ADB doesn't work for MTP.

So I uninstalled all the drivers thru device manager and through Wug's toolkit. I rebooted my computer. I reinstalled all the drivers. I connect my sister's phone. Same issue. I connect my phone. Same issue.

I go install the drivers again on another computer in my house that guarantee has no drivers before. Same problem arises. I tried my phone too, and it doesn't work. I am not running stock. I am running SpeedX ROM.

Help please?

[THE FIX]

1. Download Wug's toolkit

2. Use his Full Driver Installation guide to uninstall all drivers.

3. Install PdaNet Drivers, following the instructions given (Pick LG instead of "others")

4. After installation, turn off usb debugging, and open device managers.

5. Connect phone, making sure it's in MTP mode.

6. Observe in device managers that something popped up (Should be something something subbranch Nexus 4 with a yellow triangle)

7. Right click> Update driver

8. Browse my computer for driver software

9. Let me pick from device on computer

10. Pick the MTP USB Device

11. Let it install.

12 Done!

Hey.

First post here!!! But sadly I'm admitting to being a noob...

I recently rooted my galaxy s4 i337 and I heard about deleting bloatware so I was like, "hey that sounds cool!"

Sadly I did not realize the effects that deleting those files could cause to the device... I have factory reset my phone at least 5 times hopping that the deleted files would come back.... but they did not.

My problems are that whenever I pull up s-voice, I comes up with a message saying, "Unfortunately, S-voice has stopped working". I tried re-installing it with files I found from this site but then it started saying that I could not connect to the network so that was a dead end. I also have messages when I do various tasks says, "Unfortunately, Samsung text-to-voice engine has stopped."

I really need help!!! I change my main language text to voice thing to google instead of samsung and that helped a little, but I still get the occasional message and s voice is completely broken. I saw that re installing chat on could help and i downloaded it because I think I may have deleted it, but it made absolutely 0 difference...

Please help!!! Thanks

CID: 11111111

version-main: 2.20.502.7

Hello guys. I need some assistance.

In an attempt to install a custom ROM (Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_31.2)

1) Followed steps 1-6 the One_X_ATT_All-In-One_Kit_v3.0.1 to unlock the bootloader and installed TWRP recovery.

2) Then used Flash_boot_31.x_0.1 to get the boot.img loaded and upon installation of the ROM the phone just suddenly restarts at about 30% (tried it twice) and after restart is stuck on HTC incredible boot screen.

I can get to the boot loader and also to TWRP recovery. So I decided to use the backup I made before step 2 and the phone just restarts to the boot screen over and over.

Can I get any pointers on what to do?

I want in the end to get it out of loop mode, then S-OFF, and install a custom ROM so upgrade Hboot.

Thanks,
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Ok, firstly there is no Android Revolution ROM for Evita, that's for the Endeavor so you're lucky you didn't brick your phone.

Secondly, you're s-on, so when you made the backup of your previous ROM did you backup the boot partition as well? Restoring a system backup will restore the system but if you're s-on you need to flash the boot.img by fastboot.

At this stage you probably need to flash another ROM and flash the boot.img as well.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tavuslokus:
Where's that disclaimer. It should be in the tittle or something. If it is I can't believe I missed it. Got lucky.

Yes, boot was backed up but still restarts.

Could you please point out which boot.img I could try? I asume ICS as JB requires another hboot and I can't S-off yet.

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
There's no disclaimer, it isn't needed because that ROM isn't posted in our device forum, it's posted in the Endeavor forum, you have the Evita. As long as you only ever stay within the forum you're posting in now you'll be fine, but don't ever stray from here.

Have you tried flashing the boot.img that was backed up via fastboot after restoring the system backup? You can't just restore the boot backup.

The boot.img must be from the ROM you're trying to flash. I'm not sure what you mean when you say JB requires another hboot, that only applies on certain ROMs. Which ROM backup are you trying to restore exactly?

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tavuslokus:
Just now I noticed the difference in the forum sections. I need to pay more attention. :eek:

The TWRP backup files look like this "boot.emmc.win", renamed it to boot.img and flashed via flashboot and it restarted like nothing was wrong. :good:

Now to S-OFF and get a custom ROM. But tomorrow I guess, eyes need rest.

Thanks for the help timmaaa

[Acer Iconia A500] KaijiKun:
Hello Everyone, I am working on building my own ROM from the Cyanogen Mod Source code. First I Set up my environment in VMWare Workstation 9. I set up Linux Mint Mate AMD64, then I added the Java repository, and installed all the needed build tools following the guides I found here :) (Thanks)

once I had my environment I set up repo:

in a terminal as root user#

mkdir -p ~/bin
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo> ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

then added ~/bin to my path

export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin

next I added a directory for the source files

mkdir -p ~/A500-CM10.2-Source

Now I initialized repo.

repo init -u git://github.com/PlayOSS-Dev/android.git -b cm-10.2

then downloaded the source.

repo sync

Once the source tree was finished synchronizing I grabbed the prebuilt apps

cd vendor/cm
./get-prebuilts
cd ../..

then I tried to set up my device specific code:

. build/envsetup.sh

Now is where my questions and issues start. I expected something like android_device_acer_a500, or acer_a500/vendorsetup.sh

or something like that, I am not 100% sure, I am sort of a noobie to this, but I do have some know how with linux, and general coding, etc...

any how the reason I used the PlayOSS git source instead of CyanogenMod when I initialized repo was so I would get device specific files for my a500. I entered

repo init -u git://github.com/PlayOSS-Dev/android.git -b cm-10.2

instead of

repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.2

However, when I ran

breakfast acer_a500

I get the error device not found in manifest..... I set everything up very carefully and followed the guides very closely, I did end up using LinuxMint 15 for amd64 instead of ubuntu 13.04, and found that to work very well, I tried out the ubuntu and it did not run as well in VMWare, but LinuxMint works great and I havent got any errors, all the build tools installed, and Java, etc...

Any way to get to the point, where am I going wrong? I think I have the right source, what should I do? I would truly appreciate any help you have fore me. I would really like to compile and build my own Unoficial CM10.2 ROM for my A500. If you need any of the information from me please let me know. I have currently suspended my VM so everything is exactly where I left off right when I got the error about not finding any reference to the A500 in the repo manifest.

And again thanks to all who have helped and contributed so much for us on this site. I have learned a lot here and I am really enjoying all the testing and development I am experiencing in android :) I am also working on trying to get a usb x86 android 4.3 os going, hehehe I have it up and running, but it is slow and buggy so far, I havent ran the root script yet, but I will prb do that later, Right now I need to figure out how to get my source to compile for the A500.

So I will do some more hunting and I look forward to hearing from someone that can help me on this project. :)

Thank you

- Kaiji
[Acer Iconia A500] KaijiKun:
OK I think I see what I forgot, lol....

I just need to figure out the locations for the source repos of my device, and then I believe it goes something like this:

git clone git://github.com/PlayOSS/android_device_acer_a500.git -b cm10.2 device/acer/a500

git clone git://github.com/PlayOSS/vendor_acer_a500.git -b jellybean4.3 vendor/acer/a500

git clone git://github.com/PlayOSS/kernel_acer_a500.git -b jellybean4.3 kernel/acer/a500

And then I can run

. build/envsetup.sh

And after that I believe there is a shell script to extract device specific files from my tab, then breakfast, lunch, and brunch :)

Unoficial-A500_CM10.2-JB4.3 Development ROM to tweak, and of course I still have to work on building a custom tweaked Kernel too :)

But any how I think its bedtime for me for tonite, I think I am closer and I do think I got the answers I needed for now, and 2morow I will start compiling....

Happy testing, and I still would like to get some input from anyone who has some experience building ROMS, and especially if you have built one for my device :)

Thanks again, and good nite, see you tomorrow.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syther101:
Hi There,

After just recently switching to Android I have been having great fun customising my phone in ways I could never with my iPhone.

I currently running the latest release of TWRP Recovery and Using the Android Revolution HD ROM.

While there is currently nothing wrong with my phone I was just wondering what my options are in terms of going as far back to stock as I can.

Being 1.54 I understand I will always have re-locked on my device until an exploit is found or if I fancied shelling out for a Java Card.

In the popular RUU, OTA, etc thread under the Nandroid section is a recovery which would be compatible with my CID.

M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID H3G__001 / 1.28.771.x

If I was to flash CVM and then proceed to restore this back and then flash the included recovery.img to my device 1. Would it work in the first place and 2. Would I be able to remove the Tampered warning.

Tbh I'm not overly worried about the warrenty. Espically being in the UK and our law covering things like this. But none the less I like being able to go down the simple root (See what I did there ;)) if I have to return the device.

Many Thanks and sorry for the noob question.

Syther101
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
1. Yes it should work

2. No it won't

You might also run into issues as you have 4.2.2 FW and will end up with a 4.1.2 ROM which might lead to touchscreen problems
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syther101:
Thanks for the reply Eddy. Yeah I was afraid of the touchscreen issue. Will have to have a tinker around when I get time.

From what I have read I was under the impression when you put the stock recovery abd stock ROM back on the device abd relocked the bootloader the tampered message would go.

Guess not then. Best just hope I don't have to return the device or wait for a new s-off :)

Thanks again

Removing sony shatter proof glass voids the warranty. It works only on glass it works on camera lens too

I found this campaign a coating that make phone scratch resistant. we can apply it on front and back.. It costs 25 dollars only..Here is what they have to say............

So what is Liquid Sapphire and how does it work ?

Liquid Sapphire is a DIY coating that stops your phone, tablet or any touch screen from getting scratched, ditch your old plastic shield protector and get the full clarity of your screen using liquid sapphire, it’s invisible, contains man-made liquid sapphire which is second only to diamonds in hardness. Liquid Sapphire is a one time Nanotechnology application and does not need to be topped up.

Liquid Sapphire improves the clarity of your screen, the effect is caused by the Sapphires in liquid which will be a technology used in all touch screen devices over the years to come.

Specifications

Works with any touchscreen device and camera lenses.

Scratch resistant & waterproof.

Life Span : Permanent, Cannot be removed .(It can be removed by FELT and commercial polishing or commercial acid, e.g. hydrochloric acid.)

Invisible coating

External Coating : Yes

Internal Coating : No

Shelf Life : 18 months from opening

Non Toxic

Non Hazardous.

Liquid Amour is a lacquer, Liquid Sapphire is a invisible coating that contains Sapphire. Auto Glass coatings will be waterbased and are no where near in the same league, to coat it with Liquid Sapphire would cost more than the glass even at cost !

Sapphire is second to diamonds in the scale of hardness in natural mineral stones.

Transparency and hardness Sapphire is not only highly transparent to wavelengths of light between 150 nm (UV) and 5500 nm (IR) (the human eye can discern wavelengths from about 380 nm to 750 nm[37]), but is also extraordinarily scratch-resistant. Sapphire has a value of 9 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.

Hardness Example 10 diamond 9 sapphire 8 beryl 7.5 garnet 6.5-7.5 steel file 7.0 quartz (amethyst, citrine, agate) 6 feldspar (spectrolite) 5.5-6.5 most glass 5 apatite 4 fluorite 3 calcite, a penny 2.5 fingernail 2 gypsum 1 talc

[Xperia Z1 Accessories] DarrenT:
I thought these were supposed to have dragontrail glass anyway?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] krispijn_s:
Yup; the issue isn't the glass itself. The top surface of the phone is the shatterproof layer. It's on top of that dragontrail glass and scratches easily (Recombu has show this in one of their youtube vids). Removing this layer after it has been scratched apparently voids warranty.

This is why it is probably best to put a screen protector on the XZ1 as it will protect the shatterproofing layer. I for one will probably try out this liquid stuff as it isn't that much more expensive than a good screen protector (e.g. Krusell) anyway.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] pinn___________:
Has anyone tried any of these liquid protectors? Reviews seem a bit mixed online - not sure I'd risk it....
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] rockambole:
is it ok to apply a screen protector or that sapphire liquid on the shatter prof glass?

To which Steve answered

So it's fine for the XZ1 :)

Dynaflow is a lacqur which is not as scratch resistant as saphire and not so long lasting..
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] daleski75:
Might cancel my order and order some of this as it looks way better.

*Edit*

Tried to cancel my amazon order and no go so will use the dynaflow in the meantime at it should offer very good protection over having no screen protector and will keep an eye on this thread to see when this product ships in October.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] krispijn_s:
That's a shame, mate. But it's also a chance for us to hear if this type of product (the paint-it-on kind) works for our Z1! ;)

Personally I'm still undecided about perhaps ordering a simple screen protector until the sapphire stuff arrives.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] daleski75:
I've ordered a pack of 10 screen protectors regardless just in case and will see how it goes bit dubious over the whole liquid protection so may end up putting on a screen protector anyway!

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

changed my mind will refuse the amazon order and ordered the sapphire one as it sounds much better and will report back my findings when it arrives.
