I need to connect some apps through Google play services!
[XOLO A500S] vishalgunthey:
Urghh build errors with lewa port so fixing those.. Slim jb with Walkman port is tested..
[XOLO A500S] vishalgunthey:
Vj for both you wifi and Bluetooth to work you need to edit the wifi file under apfcfg in data\nvram

.you need to edit the file with hex editor and input the mac id of your wireless device. Fix permission and reboot the nvram error should be fixed. Else you need to flash the nvram from stock Rom.

are the results encouraging?

Help Help Help......KitKat porting is going fine....the boot.img modification is what i am stuck at since niether Xolo nor Mediatek have released kernel sources for MT6572... I definately need some help to figure out whats going wrong in my modified boot img.. although i am just playing with ramdisk but not core kernel as i just used kitchen port tool to port from a existing kitkat rom of Otium-S5.. Attached is the adb logcat file....Can someone shed some light ... The device boots up but stays on logo screen and dosent reboot frequently...:confused:

The logcat results and the boot.img can be found here..

kitkat_boot.img

logcat results

I still feel there is something missing out there...Appreciate if someone can point me to the master to the master of MTK kernel developer..
[XOLO A500S] nightwalker:
Bro,mt6572 kernel is released already but xolo hasn't released its kernel source for A500s.

Devices like Mito A50 fantasy and few more have already get source code for kernel.

And let me tell you,you can't port KitKat from xyz devices.

If its CM11 then it should be compiled from source for mt6572 and which is not possible because of device tree.

And if you are talking about AOSP KitKat then it needs to be same device with several commits in boot.img

Xolo A500s needs kitkat support in boot.img which is only possible when the company releases the sources or exactly same clone device for our phone with kernel sources.

Hope you understand my point.

Good news guys....So we have a totally revamped UI with new Xolo firmware S018 from Xolo A500 Club. It is a mix of Lewa OS and stock JB. I Have ported successfully to our device and completely deodexed with 0 bugs...The link is shared at first post along with the changes made..

The ROM is buttery smooth with floating apps and beautiful camera UI. Moving forward i will use this as the base to trim down and make it more efficient. Thank you :):)

are the screenshots from XOLEWv1?
[XOLO A500S] KrishMehta:
Just tried XoLew V1.. I must say, it has very nice UI & ofcourse camera is top notch but... the only main two major bugs or disadvantages of the rom is

1. Speaker volume is tooooo much low!

2. Can't do Reverse tethering.. :(

These two are much needed for things for my everyday life so cant continue with the ROM.. de-flashing it right now with a hope that soon i'll reflash it with a patch..

Vishal, please do the needful & release a patch for this rom containing these bug fixes.. will be very grateful to you... Thanks in advance!

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] xN1CKYx:
Hi peeps

What colour your gear??

Finally got the gear on Rose gold. Which I think is the best colour.

What do you guys and gals think is??
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] avenging:
youre lucky thats like the rarest color lol
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] AstroDigital:
I got black, I like black
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] thorissr:
I lucked up and got a Rose Gold yesterday when I went to Best Buy to exchange my Jet Black for bluetooth disconnection problems. In my area there are probably more Best Buys in a 50 mile radius than there are Wal- Marts...slight exaggeration of course, but you get the point :) I checked their inventory for all colors via online and there was one store that had a Mocha Gray in stock. I called the store to verify this and the Rep said they only had 2 left.

Thirty minutes later when I arrived at the store to exchange my Jet Black I was told that their inventory checker is sometimes incorrect and they couldn't locate them. I told them of my conversation with their Rep and my long drive based on her confirmation, so they put forth an effort to locate it for me. During the store search I observed a Best Buy mobile guy place 2 GG boxes in their lockup cabinets.

Fast forward......the guy in charge of the search team informed me that they couldn't find the elusive Mocha Gray. In return I told him I just saw a employee place 2 of them in a case. He immediately went over there and pulled them out and began scanning the bar codes on the boxes. He said unfortunately these are Rose Gold and not Mocha Gray. In excitement I told him I will take the Rose Gold for my exchange, being that this was the model I originally wanted but settled on Jet Black because that was the only color left when I originally went on the hunt for one.

Moral of this story....Best Buy's inventory checker sucks. There's no telling how many sales they have lost because every model online shows up as "unavailable" or "out of stock". As a matter of fact, some models online only give you the option to preorder...including the Rose Gold model. Rest assure, Best Buy stock them on a regular basis, however you must physically go to the store, Best Buy mobile department, and ask which colors they have in stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rayhodge02:
Mine is black matches my phone and tablet
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mutantblack:
Black Cuz it is the slickest looking one. Look like any other watch without too much attraction.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mhotep06:
Orange
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
Black because the camera blends in with the watchband. Also it looks nice and not too showy.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dscline:
Mocha Gray was my first choice, but I bought via the T-Mobile coupon (they don't carry that color), so I got my second choice: black. My Note 3 is black, my Note 10.1 is black, and the interior of my car is black with aluminum accents, so I guess it goes better anyway.

You should turn this thread into a poll.

For the record I bought black, the same reason as others have mentioned, the camera is less obvious. I really hope there is a way to change the strap in the future however if it breaks.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonstatt:
Returning to an old thread. A friend with the rose gold one has found the strap to be totally impractical as it gets grubby looking fairly quickly. I have to say I think it also looks rather girly but maybe that's just me.

I think the grey or black ones are the most practical, but if you wanted something different then orange looks better on the wrist than you might think. Interestingly Samsung chose to supply most reviewers with the Orange one and it does look good when you have a clock face that also has orange in it.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfaisal98:
HI all, I have a Rooted N10 (Android 4.3) with KTmanta Kernel and stock ROM. Before installing KTmanta kernel i made a Nandroid Backup. Now if i want to go back to the Stock Kernel what should i do? Is it SAFE to flash the "Boot.img" in the original nandroid backup? I believe it contains the kernel. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
It's fine to restore the boot.img from your backup as boot.img does contain the kernel. What I usually like do in this situation is I download the stock 4.3 boot.img (Which can be extracted from the latest Nexus 10 factory image from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantarayjwr66y) and then flash it in fastboot with the command:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

This will restore your stock kernel. Let me know if you still have questions.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfaisal98:
I am much thankful for your help :) Infact, I do have a question related to flashing kernel. I have read in related articles that after flashing any kernel you must perform the following in the CWM recovery: 1. Delete cache 2. Wipe dalvik cache 3. Fix permissions.

I am using CWM Recovery 6.0.4.3 (the latest for N10 downloaded from CWM website) and it doesn't offer the option of FIX PERMISSIONS. So the last time i flashed KTmanta kernel i couldn't possibly use option no. 3 above. My N10 is running smoothing without any issues. But the thing is, I am asking because I do want to follow the steps as directed by the author of the kernel or the ROM. Thanks in advance :)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
When your flashing a kernel in recovery it's important to follow the directions provided by the kernel developer. Deleting chache, and wiping dalvik cache are essential to ensuring the kernel runs properly and doesn't bootloop your phone are you flash the kernel. As far as fix permissions this utility was removed for recovery because the way it was implemented was outdated and broken, fix permissions is more of a helpful option rather then a necessity in this situation. If you really want to run fix permissions you can download and run Stericson's Fix Permissions App. If you need me to clarify any of my points or anything else let me know I'll be happy to do so.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfaisal98:
Thanks again for your prompt reply :) I don't think i really need to run "fix permissions", as long as my ROM is running good. I am happy that I at least know how to do that in case i am in real need of running fix permissions. God bless you :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bpopilek:
Ok, so I just upgraded to the Galaxy Note 3 from my old Note 2. So far, I have found every app/widget I used to use, or a suitable replacement. However, there is one that I am stuck on.

On the Galaxy Note 2, there was a great stock Contacts widget that Samsung has failed to include on the Note 3. I have checked the Play store and cannot find anything close to it. What I want to know is this. Is there any way to export that widget so I can use it on my Note 3? I'd love either that widget, or if anyone knows of a contact widget that is similar, I would be all ears. Thanks!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Therrm:
Hello guys,

I live in China and I'd like to buy a Note 3, therefore, there's only following versions available here: N9002/6/8/9

I used to have a Note 2, Chinese version too, which was impossible to flash through Samsung's standard tool and once I bruteforced the flash with other tools, I detroyed the phone (couldnt receive signal anymore and be recovered) because Samsung's phones in China have a different modems and bootloaders specific to China).

Currently, not so many custom firwmwares are available for the Note 3 but in the future, I'd like to use them. Knowing Chinese models might be different, do you know if I'll have the same issues as with my Note 2, meaning:

- not being able to flash other region firmwares (Chinese version doesnt have Play store and you cannot install anything like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube or other famous foreign apps and that's ****ing annoying)

- not being able to flash custom roms for popular versions like N900 or N9005

Thanks

N9006 - Note3 - Chinese One

I've got my Note 3 - SM-N9006, couple weeks ago and try to root with Root de la Vega to get rid of the problems that you thought.

But failed now.

Trying to figure it out to bring the phone back.

So, think 2 more time to buy a Chinese Note 3.

[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] dont tinker too much.. Its possible to root without much hassle。。n9002 is the china unicom branded one/ n9006 is unbranded SD800 but 16gb/ n9008 is china mobile (keep in mind they have their own 3g band) / n9009 is china telecom(cdma)

[MENTION=3888317]navalarcitect[/MENTION] .. You forgot to to switch that "reactivation lock" to off in settings... Do that and try again...It would be succesful..

I've have had s2 s3 and s4 all made in china for the chinese markets rooted and using international firmwares enjoying all the google goodies china strips off.

For note 3 i went for exynos because it offers 32gb against the SD800 which is 16gb in China and HK.. Cheers
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckwurst:
Buy the HK version at any of the phone markets of your choice

I think the short answer is DON'T BUY THE CHINA version, unless you have unlimited time to play/tinker with it in the hope that you might be able to internationalize it... Note tha 99% of the people making roms and modding the Chinese version are Chinese, who won't care about English/play store etc... so even if you do see ROMs most of them will be made for Chinese. Also, even if you do get it working, no more android updates for you...

The even shorter answer is, buy a HK version from any of the phone markets... In Shanghai there are many and they all have HK versions (often same price or cheaper than the China version as smuggled in without 5% import tax and 17% sales tax). You can tell pretty easy what model the phone is, and they're used to laowei (and many ABCs, etc.) wanting the international version.

What would be GREAT would be if the dual sim version was available in International. In the past it was only available as the China version. I really need a dual sim as I travel so much, but am just too scared/nervous and lacking in time and knowledge to buy the China version and try to root/internationalize....Am keeping an eye out for this, but not holding my breath as Samsung never did a dual sim N2 and you have to assume carriers hate them...
