[General Questions and Answers] maritimesbob:
Hello,

I've had my fun with the old Blade, then G300, then Desire S, then Desire HD and last January I purchased a One X+ from Vodafone.

Unfortunately this last purchase was of poor planning. Within weeks of buying this "latest" phone HTC decided the phone was old hat and out comes the M7 (One). I was really miffed about this, Vodafone dropped the phone from their sales within weeks of launching it too. Bit shi**y of HTC if you ask me but that's life I guess and the world of mobile manufacturers.

The phone is unlocked and rooted and there is a limited amount of dev work going on for this phone on xda (those few do a great job), but the phone has pretty much come to the end. Sense 5 has filtered out for the phone slowly, but I can't see HTC supporting it any longer. I really expected to enjoy this phone more than a few months!!!

I might sell it, it seems the resale value is still pretty good and I could easily purchase a Nexus 4 or other dev friendly phone and still have some change left over.

That being said, can anyone recommend a phone for £100 or under, decent size screen, decent specs and above all is dev friendly (plenty roms, active community, easily unlocked/rooted)?

I'm in the UK and use the GiffGaff/O2 network, so it would need to be unlocked/network free. Apologies if this is posted in the wrong forum. I was unsure where else to ask.

Thanks.

The good question : "why do I want to root ?"

If there are many reasons, then you should root :)

No offense to the original poster but I hate stupid thread like this especially considering your previous two phones were rooted already.

If you have to ask yourself do you need root, then most likely the answer is No.

Why don't you read the countless threads about rooting and its benefit and decided if its something for you.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabsmb:
Hey folks,

I just switched my GT-i9505 for CyanogenMod 10.1.3, which I recommend for everyone. Very stable system.

However, in BetterBatteryStats I can see that Fast Dormancy is eating my battery. The wakes are:

"fast_dormancy" and "qcril_fd".

My battery is like 10%/h if im on H+, and 15%/h on 4G.

I have already tried the i9300 toogle available on the Store, but its not compatible. Tried also the manual method but the nwk_info.db file is not in this system.

Any ideas, sirs?

ANY help will be VERY appreciated.

I can see that a lot of people is looking for a solution here.

Thanks in advance!:victory:

Finally, im not alone! I have seen no other solution to this, than use a modded/stock touchwiz rom.

Its a shame that im being forced to modded stock roms to have more than 6 hours on a battery...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoRo1990:
1 of my friends contacted me today and I noticed it showed his number not the name. I contacted this friend a few weeks ago so he was in my contact list then. The only changes I made was upgrading from neat from to cm 10.1.

I went to check my contacts and a few of the numbers are missing. I went to my gmail account because it automatically syncs my contacts and noticed it wasn't showing the ones that were missing either. I tried using the restore function in gmail up to the maximum of 30days but it didn't bring back the contacts that were missing. Any ideas how I can get back my missing contacts?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce666:
Maybe ask your friends? I had this type of problem and unfortunately, it was the only solution
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoRo1990:
I think I figured out why this happened. When I saved those contacts that are missing I saved them as phone contacts and not google contacts. So they were stored in my phone and weren't getting sync'd with my gmail account. After I did the wipe on my phone when installing cm it cleared those contacts since they were stored on my phone. I'm guessing there isnt anyway to get them back now;(

[Sprint LG Optimus G] Silvery_Moonlight91:
So I flashed a few roms onto my phone. I only got one to allow me to still have signal. But I now found new instructions telling me I should have backed up the efs folder. On the one rom i got working the only thing that still didn't work. And I am pretty sure that is from not having an imei or something like that. I'm a total noob here. So can someone help me figure out how to get that back or direct me to instructions that will do just that and I will go back to stock rom if need be.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] simpkill:
Which one allows signal, and is it strong enough? If so just back up efs from that ROM in TWRP and restore that efs over your favorite ROM. You could flash a stock ROM and update PRL and profile. Then go back. Either way try and get a working efs backup.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Silvery_Moonlight91:
Sadly I haven't been able to find a working way to go back to stock.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gargeya_369:
Can anybody tel me weather the drivers used for gingerbread are totally different from the drivers used in 4.2 or 4.3 ?

Are the drivers are the same for both or the drivers used in 4.2 or 4.3 are updated from gingerbread source??

As, samsung dropped support since gingerbread...

And the camera is not having scene modes now....

And i came to know that the camera driver doesn't support scene modes after android 4.0 for our galaxy S i9000....

Are the developers building the drivers from gingerbread source...is it anyway linked like this..?

Can anybody through some light here..??

Thankyou..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kasper_h:
Kernel drivers have been updated in certain cases (my kernel containes updated wifi & gpu drivers).

But camera (and most other hardware) is driven by separate drivers, often called "blobs". These originate from stock Samsung firmware, and have thus not been updated from GB time on. As this is the closed-source part of the ROM, there are no solutions for an update.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gargeya_369:
Okay... thanks for the info...

And, can we the manufacturer details for hardware...viz., for each hardware module, the manufacturer of the module, the version info etc...

Do we get the details for all these?

Or samsung doesn't open these details about their boards of the phones which they manufacture ?

And, can we have the blobs for camera from android 2.3.6 and get the scene modes??

Is it possible??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kasper_h:
We know all the hardware details, but the necessary libraries are closed-source, so we can't simply change things around.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] pameister:
Hey guys, I am a long time iPhone user and I got a Black HTC one a few weeks ago and for the main part, I am LOVE the change and really love SENSE 5. I have messed around with the Apex Locker and some awesome UI's but would miss blink feed and some other SENSE issues.

I do have a lot of smaller issues I am hoping to figure out (which may not be a big deal to some people). I was told to come on here and poke around and ask questions for some answers.

Email:

I LOVE the stock/native email APP and cannot use GMAIL for business; however many emails do not shrink to fit the window like the GMAIL app or on my iPhone. I am really hoping we can figure this out

Google Voice:

Works amazing with google products and Google now but I am having an issue integrating it with HTC apps or other 3rd party apps.

Home/Back Buttons:

As many now these do not light up until in a really dark room. I use my phone a lot at home with the lights dimmed while watching TV and they still do not come on.

Lock Screen:

The Lock screen requires a swipe up to answer calls, which happens a lot when I pull the phone out of my pocket (even with the stock locker and accessability turned off). I think I would like a different way (sideways) to answer a call and unlock the phone.

Bloatware/Stock apps:

There are a lot of ATT apps I do not want on the phone and do not want to use, but all of the HTC apps I do want for the most part
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] xcrazydx:
So.....You pretty much have a problem with every single function of the phone.

Google voice, don't know don't use it.

Email, don't know don't use it

Home back buttons, what do you need them lit up for? You'll learn where they are.

Lock screen, not gonna happen with stock lock screen. Use a different locker or flash a Rom.

Bloatware, unlock bootloader, s-off, recovery and root.

This is also in the wrong section.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Android The Greek:
I don't recall an iPhone lighting up the home button.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] drakeymcmb:
Well my lights work so something isn't right with your phone ?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mattyd578:
To try to help you fix some of the issues on your HTC ONE you can choose not to have the lock screen go to settings--->Personalize----> lock screen style and choose no lock screen. the back and home buttons light up when the screen is on push the power button on top. I never had that issue with the htc email client my emails fit to the screen but then again I flashed a custom rom on my phone. Not sure if that makes a difference tho.The bloatware you can uninstall go to your app draw and hold down the icon of the app and drag it to the top of the screen you will see uninstall drag it to there and its off your phone. I cam from an Iphone too and I also love the change. I am not sure if you are aware but if you have a google account and you sign in the app store will keep a record of all apps on your phone so if you want it back you can easily re install it. I hope that helps.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] E-Bot:
Just to clarify re: the bloatware, you cannot uninstall these if you're not rooted. However, you can disable the apps, which will also hide them in the app drawer.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] xcrazydx:
No it doesn't help. You are completely wrong about almost everything.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] fitchpuckman:
I actually find the native emaill app to be pretty sharp, but unfortunately it's too limited in functionality to do all the things i want for my corporate email. If you are a heavy Exchange user, I would recommend getting Touchdown. It's $20, but well worth it for detailed functionality in Exchange accounts. You will sacrifice much of the aesthic of the native mail app, though I find the function to be a worthwhile trade here.

Could you be a little bit more specific with how you are hoping to integrate it and with which apps?

I haven't had this issue. Do you run your phone in power save mode often? This could potentially have an effect on the lights, though I doubt it. I've never seen issues with mine, so perhaps it's your unit

Not sure what to tell you here. I think it's just a function of Sense that you have to get used to. But I agree it can be a little tedious to deal with. I got used to it, though.

Just got to your settings > apps > all, and run down the list to disable as many of the att apps as you desire. most of them can be disabled, though none directly removed without root. disabling does the trick. you can also hide them from app drawer as mentioned above. I disable nearly all AT&T apps, among others.

Welcome to the One, it's a fantastic device. I have owned iPhones in year past but can definitely say you've made a great choice to convert. HTC has caught some slack recently with some tough financial times and sales figures, which is unfortunate because this phone is phenomenal. hopefully their big investment in (an odd Bob Downey, Jr) marketing campaign will help.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Vaykadji:
This is awesome ! With Ubuntu Touch coming in october, there'll be a party on my N7 :D

A question though, why do we have to use a patched kernel, doesn't the kernel runs AFTER the multirom part ? I'm asking mainly because I fear for the upcoming Ubuntu Touch and maybe his brand-new kernel. If it's not compatible or will have to be patched, isn't there a risk that we have to "always" use a custom-kernel after every little update? (and Canonical knows his way in kernel updating every 2 weeks on desktop computer, especially with a new product...)

But I'm also asking to satisfy my curiosity ^^

Thank you very much, anyway, I'm glad your funding campain was a success. I can't hit the "Thanks" button enough.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Tasssadar:
MultiROM starts immediately _after_ kernel. When you select secondary ROM with different kernel, it needs to load it, somehow - that's what kexec is for. Only the kernel for primary ROM has to be patched though, so if you'd install Ubuntu Touch as secondary, it can live with it's own, unpatched kernel.

By the way, as far as I know, Canonical does not plan to support flo. Ubuntu Touch is planned to release in October, but that means it's going to get "stable" version for those 4 nexus devices (mako, manta, grouper and maguro) and possibly some new devices, which will be running Ubuntu Touch out of the box. I think flo needs a community port.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] GSLEON3:
[MENTION=3418703]Tasssadar[/MENTION]

Looks awesome! I can't wait to give it a try! Hopefully Flar will inegrate the patch into her Kernel. Thanks a lot for the port!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] chadamir:
Are the roms able to share apps/data like Modaco switch or is each rom independent?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Tasssadar:
Each ROM is independent.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] thecdn:
In addition to this, what about files like docs, pics, etc? How is space alloted per rom? Is it adjustable after install?

Never tried this with my original N7 but I think I'll be trying it on the new one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] mumumusuc:
Abount the kernel, should i flash both modified kernels if i want to set a stock rom for the primary and cm10 for the sec?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] GialanG:
Dear [MENTION=3418703]Tasssadar[/MENTION].

Thanks for your efforts to the community. As you know, ElementalX kernel supports other roms rather than only stock. So my question is: can we run the first stock rom with patched kernel and second roms with ElementalX (roms don't share kernels)?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] mumumusuc:
One more question, how to flash a third-part kernel for the second rom?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] rifraf1:
That is exactly how I am running it and all works fine.

Tasssadar - It looks as if it is running fine, I missed this so much when I moved over to DEB and now it is here woohoo!

I have noticed one thing though whenever I flash from my external flash drive it unmounts the usb-otg device after each flash. Have to go in and mount it back between rom, gapps and kernel flashes.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] GialanG:
Go to Advanced -> MultiRom, select your rom and you will see flash option there.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] vibranze:
I saw Bodhi Linux and Ubuntu in the screenshot, how do we install them? Does it accept .ISO and boot as Live CD? How is the hardware detection such as touch screen, etc, all recognized and working? Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Tasssadar:
/sdcard is shared between ROMs, so pictures, movies and such on there are shared. The space isn't really allocated - all roms are stored in /sdcard/multirom/roms (not accessible from Android, if you want to look in there, go to recovery). That means it eats up from the free space you can see in Settings -> Storage in Android.

No, only the aosp one for primary ROM. Secondary ROMs don't require patched kernel (which is actually an improvement over grouper's version).

Okay, fixed, but it's going to be in next release of the recovery (this is not really a big bug).

Those screenshots are from old N7, because the GUI looks exactly the same and I'm lazy. You can't install bohdi or ubunut, because, well, the drivers for flo's hardware aren't there.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] p4rot:
I tried to flash the multirom zip in recovery but when I reboot I get in a bootloop at the Google logo
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Tasssadar:
Which kernel and rom are you using? Can you get me a log? Get it to bootloop, then use pwr+volume down to enter bootloader, select recovery mode using volume buttons and pres power. When in recovery, the log is /proc/last_kmsg, you can use adb pull /proc/last_kmsg to get it. Put it on pastebin or something and show it to me.

Can I use Multirom with my Deb, with a patched kernel?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Tasssadar:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] wd5gnr:
I have been using 4.4 as a secondary ROM with elemental 1.8 patched for WiFi. No problems. There is a new 2.0 kernel and I flashed it from the ROM list. It seems to work but after the aroma installer the screen goes black and the previous kernel remains. If I don't reflash the ROM I get the 1.8. If I had dirty flash the ROM I get the stock.

Since my base is 4.3 with elemental 1.8 I have it set to use a separate kernel.

Any advice?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] xanthrax:
same here ... is time for a logcat i guess ...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] wd5gnr:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] xanthrax:
i`ll try to get one asap , plus , i can`t flash another kernel on a sec 4.4 rom , the flashing process went normal , successful but at the end , black creen and same kernel stays on the sec rom

i would like to know whether this is rom or multiboot related
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] wd5gnr:
Works for me if I flash the scott rom ZIP or Elemental 1.8 so I can flash a kernel. I just can't flash Elemental 2.0. And yes, black screen as it tries to manipulate the file system after the install.

So it could be something with MR or the way Elemental 2.0 is packed, but it isn't a straight bug in MR that you can't flash kernels because I can freely switch between stock and 1.8.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] p4rot:
Same thing for me here,

Black screen after the install, I'm on stock 4.4 with the 4.4 kexec kernel.

But as far as I know multirom work fine.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] s2k7:
Worked great.

Internal: slimrom 4.4;

Second: Synman 4.4

sharing elmentalX 2.1 kernel.

It will be safer to use stock 4.4 rom restore batch first.
