Hmm I think then you'd run into the opposite problem. Keys would be too small to touch type and too big to effectively thumb type. Plus, at least for me, touch typing is faster than thumb typing even on a cramped keyboard (especially if you have to use numerical keys or symbols or something). But I guess to each his own.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] mbamberg:
I tried one of these (there are several "branded" versions, all the same physical features).

My biggest complaint was not the keyboard size, but the "clip" that is right in the middle of the space-bar. It seemed that no matter what I tried it was in the way. Also the "smart case" magnet was too strong, it would turn off the tablet when it was set up with the switches on top.

Had to return it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] waflsk8s:
Hmm just saw that the clip does stick out quite a bit. Hmm... Also didn't know that these things came with a smart magnet (why would it need one if you have to remove the tablet from the case to use it?).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] palehorse864:
I've been trying to fix my phone, but failed to RUU. I've installed a number of different roms, but I'm now on a stock rooted sense, version 3.15.651.16. I have tried flashing older Stock Rooted roms, but there seems to be something wrong with them, or my phone. I tried to flash them in TWRP 2.6.3.0 but it reboots partway through the flash and I have to wipe and flash back to 3.15.651.16.

There is no RUU for 3.15 yet.

What are the best methods for RUU under this situation? Are there any reliable stock rooted roms I can use?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Check in the dev sections for a thread by viperboy about "decrypt RUU", may help you. I didn't read it too closely, but I

Think it's what you're looking for.

I forget if in Original Dev, or just Android dev.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Just flash the latest stock rooted.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] palehorse864:
Thank you so much, both of you.

ViperRUU worked. I am still S-Off and unlocked, as I do not want to undo that yet, but I am on stock otherwise.

Sadly, one touch activation still won't work, and attempts to manually enter my msid and mdn don't seem to take. I still get commit failed. Oh well, that's for my other thread.

At least, with your help, I can get it back to factory before asking the Sprint store for help.

Hey guys. What would I need to learn in order to start hacking around on my HTC one and start looking for exploits? I know C, C++, Java, and a little bit of x86 assembly, but I've never really programmed for Android before. What should I learn first? Where should I start?

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bootywarrior631:
Sorry, I should have been a little more specific. I know I need to learn pretty much everything I can about Android phones before I can start hacking my phone, but I was wondering what I should learn first, and if you guys could recommend any specific books or tutorials. I could find tons of resources through Google, but I was wondering if you guys knew of any specific books that were particularly good or comprehensive. And where should I start? Would it be better to learn some electrical engineering first, then ARM assembly, and then Android; or should I learn Android first, and then learn ARM assembly and electrical engineering; or does it not really matter?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notandor:
Has anyone else noticed visible lag (~2-4s) say:

- after you unlock the screen (assuming the phone was not used for 5-10 minutes)

- and the screen comes up with low brightness

- till the screen returns to brightness (say when it is set to auto).

The lag is between the 2nd and 3rd step

Or another lag of (~1-1.5s), when you touch the screen, when it is been:

- a dim screen (when one has stopped using it for sometime, but not off yet and the brightness goes down),

and then you touch... till it attains:

- the normal brightness that the screen is supposed to be (say when set of auto).

I have noticed both behaviors like 8-10 times during last one day.

Hi,

I created a straight forward app to solve the problem I had with outdoor light.

Sometimes when I go to work I take out my phone , the screen brightness is too low, I barely see the settings all in all its a pain in the butt.

As I said it's straight forward you just click on the icon and it sets your brightness to maximum.

If your on auto brightness disable it otherwise the app won't workhttps://db.tt/2CfObAbN

Its based on the BTU rom so should only be used by people on BTU already

as it updates EFS to a new format aparently that older roms dont understand

I9300XXEMG4 I9300OXAEMG4 BTU

the only difference from this build is i also removed joyn (9305 doesnt have it)

and left smtp e-mail as he uses it for work e-mail

and the default csc installs 6 apps that you have to remove on first boot in

/system/app and /system/csc/common

Hello all, :)

my N4 is on stock 4.3 JWR66Y, stock kernel.

i have been using android since few years now, whenever i wanted to flash new ROMs on my devices i used to find one that used to match my requirements bt here i couldnt find one ROM which includes:- :good:

- screen colour enhancer (franco gamma somthing) & audio blaster

- Rooted, deodexed, busybox

- Custom recovery

(when i m into recovery threads i read rooted n4 is needed & when browsing how to root they say custom recovery is needed.)

i had a Note I and things were so easy with - odin pc - custom ROM - and flash..nvr unlocked any bootloader..

what unlock bootloader?? cant i simply connect N4 to pc through usb cable & by using ODIN on pc flash a Custom ROM which will have evrything (or atleast most of the things i m looking for in a ROM).. things were so easy on Note. Please help if i am missing smthng..i never jump to conclusions, i have been reading this N4 forum since few days (all above points one by one) before flashing nonsense n end up bricking..

few say its not possible rooting 4.3 wug's root tool kit only installs super su & busybox bt doesnt actually root N4..

in short kindly suggest where to start & how to start to get all above points.once i m rooted & on custom recovery i know flashing n all bt this is really confusing here :confused: ..i feel damn alone here..:(

please help. sry for bothering.

thnx in advance.:)

-----------------------

Update

if i am not wrong i have to start with

1- install naked drivers for ms-dos purpose

2- unlock bootloader - restart in dwnld mode-connect usb-boot commands r thr

3- install custom recovery twrp/philz/ etc via ms-dos

4- install root/supersu/busybox etc by dwnlding that zip.

bt hw to get gamma n color enhancer the screen is quite dull..IPS
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoka206:
Ok please start here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2015469 I suggest you do a little reading, sounds like you have a good grasp on what needs to be done. The toolkit will do all the work, I prefer ADB but thats just my preference. The toolkit automates everything and makes it very easy to do. Stay away from CM10 nightlies if you want to use a custom kernel, it will only cause you headaches. There are plenty of roms to choose from, what were you looking for as far as features. You are not alone, a little patience and some reading go a long way.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JWhipple:
Hi everyone,

I'm new to the Note, but definitely not new to Android or XDA.

I've got the phone "unlocked" via the radio trick here: http://str8pt.blogspot.com/2013/06/unlock-simfree-method-for-galaxy-note.html

I've rooted it, and have tried a few different ROMs with different radios.

The Blaze radio (and others) I mention are from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1679722

I am in Melbourne, FL in case location makes any difference.

Here's what I am seeing:

CyanogenMOD 10.1.3 - using Blaze ICS radio I am getting only EDGE speeds. Using "Official TMO ICS Radio" (I'm guessing it's the one from the TMO Note?) , I get NO connectivity.

Stock 4.1.2 - using Blaze ICS radio I am getting 4G, however the signal meter is totally empty as if there's just enough signal to register connectivity but not enough to register a single bar. Download speeds are abysmal in comparison to other TMO phones I've used here - I am seeing downloads at around 1.5MB - other phones are 6, 7, even 8 MB.

My question are as follows:

Using CyanogenMod, should I be using the i717 version? Or the TMO Note version? Is there anything I can do with ANY particular radio to get better than EDGE?

Using the Stock ROM (or a variant), is there are a way to get the signal cluster to function properly? Any way to get better download speeds?

I read that the TMO 4.0.4 stock ROM image can be installed via ODIN and apparently it works correctly (if I am reading correctly) - would the TMO 4.1.2 stock ROM image be installed via ODIN and work as well? (If I can even find a full download of it?)

Should I expect to have to re-flash the radio each time with each ROM? From what I've seen, if I don't, I lose any ability to get 4G until I flash it again. I'd be stuck on EDGE.

Thanks so much guys! I've searched and read till my eyes are crossing and not finding the answers I need. I hope that with the experience that can be found in this forum maybe I can get where I need to be!

Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gvc803:
I recently obtained an I717 too, unlocked it, and got it functioning with my tmobile prepaid plan. I'm still on gingerbread rom and using KID radio with decent success. just 4G , using WCDMA band 1700 (*#2263#). I get consistent decent speeds but not LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Anthony820:
The hands down best modem to use is UCMB4 - Google it. But it can cause problems with some jelly bean ROMs.

If you want jb more than anything, play with modems. If you want speed AND stability, go jellybean sandwich or black star X with the aforementioned modem.

If you want WiFi calling download skeleton key.

Ucmb4 with any of those three and the proper APN will get you LTE as fast as it's offered in your area
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JWhipple:
Hi Anthony820,

I'm currently running your Skeleton Key ROM - not bad at all! But definitely want to try to get CyanogenMod or PACman JB running.

I'll give the UCMB4 radio a shot this evening !

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JWhipple:
I've got CM 10.1.3 for i717 installed right now, going through and testing each and will post results.

At the time I was running CM 10.1 nightlies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Anthony820:
Uvlg3, if I recall, will get you good down speed, but mediocre up. Otherwise, it's a solid choice and may be more cooperative with jb builds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JWhipple:
Looks like you're right - here's just 4 radios that I just tested:

UCMB4 - EDGE only

UVLG3 - 3G/DC(WTF??)/H+	6.01Mbps up/1.07 Mbps down

UVLE1 - Phone freezes, locks on black screen, had to pull battery

ICSBLAZE - 3G/DC/H+	Network communication issues message when running speedtest.

By the way, what the heck is "DC" on the network indicator where 3G or H/H+ normally is? I've never seen that before!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jman315:
I believe It stands for dual channel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JWhipple:
By the way, just checked and CM's WiFi tethering is working as well - nice!

Not sure what I did differently this time but this evening the signal indicator is showing real signal strength, equivalent to what I was seeing on another phone on CM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jman315:
Good to hear. I believe not seeing any signal strength is a known issue specifically with the Blaze modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Anthony820:
Make sure you're changing your APN from epc.* to fast.t-mobile.com
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JWhipple:
I'm guessing that would get me LTE if it's available in my area?

I just switched over to it and only got EDGE...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Anthony820:
If you're on a modem that'll work with LTE, yep. Otherwise HSPA or Edge.

Make sure, I forget and my Note no longer has service, that the top option is set under Network Type or whatever it is. Network Mode? I don't know, you'll figure it out. The thing that lets you pick between GSM, WCDMA etc..etc..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JWhipple:
Ok, I got it figured out. I am on the FAST APN and set to WCDMA/LTE . I'm on 3G/H+ here in the house now - will see how it goes when I head out tomorrow.

Either way, I think it's time to make a backup - it's running marvelously and doing everything I would expect it to!

I reboot once every few hours (even if I'm not using it)... and nothing is running as smoothly as it should... My old single-core Nexus One running at 1gHz was smoother than this!

Or is this the norm when running a T-Mo radio on an AT&T phone?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Anthony820:
You won't. A bulk of 717 users use JB builds. They, by and large, ignore the multiple reboots, some unknowingly and chalk it up to that's life. Many, also, have been running JB builds so long they don't realize how horribly slow they are.

The quiet minority use ICS builds. If you want the note to run as fast as it can -- and feel fast -- and never reboot. Run an ICS ROM. If you want to say you run the latest build possible, run jelly bean. But know that in over a year, there's never been a JB ROM that has both stability and speed. You'll find a small handful of people who will swear that the 99.9% of users are doing something wrong in the 3 simple steps any idiot can follow flashing a ROM, and that's the real problem.. but we all know the truth.

tl;dr - your problems wont get better. Accept them or flash: Black Star X, JBS, or CM 9.1.

Edit: That's also not taking into account ptmr3 or bigfau's latest. But our stock JB was such a clusterf@#$ that I can't imagine they went to hogwarts since their last build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JWhipple:
Anthony,

What modem/radio in your opinion is the best for an ICS build on T-Mobile?

How do these ROMs you mentioned stack up against your Skeleton Key ROM?

Thanks for all your direction!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Anthony820:
BSX is the old gold standard if you want touchwiz. If you are an AOSP guy, my JBS is well received. I personally used it, on tmo, for the last six months or so before getting my n3.

The ucmb4 worked great with it, but judging by your previous posts, you may be better off with the UVLG3.
