And if we travel to Madrid and let out unlock there, possible?

Or is there somebody in Spain who would do that for the other Xperia owner?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
hey, if somebody use the spanish method

could he be so kind to make a TA partition backup BEFORE and AFTER the allowing on yes? (and BEFORE unlocking for the first time maybe..)

thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DevShaft:
There is a variable called ROOTING_ALLOWED in TA, which can be either 1 or 0. There is a chance we only have to change this from 0 to 1 and unlocking will be possible. However no one yet dared to provide me with a TA backup to adjust and restore it.

Maybe [MENTION=4900593]mirhl[/MENTION] his request helps us determine if the above is actually the case. I'm still open for volunteers at their own risk and the risk of a hard-brick is high. It would mean a lot for the community though and we'll be forever thankful :).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Olivier:
I could provide a TA backup of mine, my bootloader is locked. Could this also help?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vieose:
I think only of you can provide a backup of ta when it's opened by Sony Spain

[HTC Desire C] thelorenzzo:
Does anyone know a custom bootloader for HTC Desire C? I want to reset the Dalvik cache and some other stuff and I'm not sure the "factory reset" option from the stock bootloader will do. Is there something like TWRP for the Desire C?

Also, I'm quite the noob so if there is a custom bootloader that requires a flashing method other than just copying the zip to the SD card and installing it, can someone also post some instructions?

Thanks in advance :)
[HTC Desire C] me4488:
Read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2148015

The bootloader cannot be changed. You can change the kernel and the recovery. Wiping the cache is done with a custom recovery. I recommend TWRP.

The custom kernel defines new clock frequencies. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask =3
[HTC Desire C] thelorenzzo:
Thanks, I've managed to find that myself a little bit earlier. Now I know the difference between bootloader and recovery :laugh: I don't normally use Android so I guess I'm kinda noob around here. I'm just messing with my brother's HTC while my Lumia is in phone hospital :D

Edit: Oh, one more question:

I've installed a custom ROM using TWRP 2.6, it's something called RootBox v1 (I've no idea how I managed to find that, but it's here on the forums). It totally messed up my soft keys. They vibrate when I touch them, the back button seems to work, but short-pressing the menu key doesn't bring out the recent apps list. Also, long-pressing it has no effect either. Is that caused by the ROM or is it something that has to do with the kernel? I'm using N.O.P.E v2.6 [MENTION=282156]700[/MENTION] MHz :D
[HTC Desire C] me4488:
Long press the home key. =3 Nothing to do with kernels.
[HTC Desire C] vhngu930:
For most ROMs,you have to go to the hardware key settings and set the actions( the menu key is actually the recent apps key)
[HTC Desire C] LaputaCake:
Rootbox did that to me so try a different Rom

I went from stock to eXistenz and my Stamina Mode broke. Then I reverted to stock by flashing a ftf but Stamina Mode still doesnt work. It doesn't shutdown wifi and 3g as it used to and my battery drains 30% overnight, instead of the usual 6-7% when i had Stamina Mode working. I wanted to reset battery stats to see if it fixes things, but the CWM 6.0.3.0 that im using doesn't have that option at all. Can someone offer me a solution?
[HTC EVO 3D] Macabre215:
Hello everyone,

I've tried to use the Cyanogen ROMs or any AOSP ROM on my EVO 3D for some time now. I've tried CM 10.2, but I get horrible battery life. Every one of these ROMs seems to have battery drain problem when the phone is not in use. This is always with the stock CM kernel and flashing another kernel, like MiRaGe, seems to help a lot. However, I still get far worse battery life with any AOSP ROM compared to a ROM based on the Sprint stock ROM.

Does anyone have an solutions to this? I'd love to know.

[Nexus 5 General] FrankyDoodle:
This purpose of this thread is to discuss the pricing and availability in the Netherlands.

Will we, as always, be overlooked again by Google and get the N5 during springtime with an extremely inflated pricetag?

Or will Google see us Dutchies and release it through the Play Store?

Nexus 5 is available here:
[Nexus 5 General] GuestK0086:
No way is Google going to be looking at The Netherlands, unfortunately. I'm going to Germany on the launch date as I'm sure we won't be able to purchase the device through the Play Store. Also, if regular webshops order a couple of devices, they'll price them at above €500,-, as they did with the Nexus 4.

Hoping Google will prove me wrong!
[Nexus 5 General] lowtje:
Getting the n5 from the UK playstore just like my n4
[Nexus 5 General] GuestK0086:
How? It would save me some trouble! Do you need a British Google account? And how is the shipping and how much does it cost?
[Nexus 5 General] Celiorion:
do tell

Do tell, i am curious how you're gonna do that. there is no way im going to pay more than 500 euro for nexus 5, just like the nexus 4

and what about Germany, just drive to Dusseldorf?
[Nexus 5 General] lowtje:
I ordered my Nexus 4 in the UK. I did it through a friend who lives there. I ordered it myself through a proxy server and used his address for the shipping. The first time (before I had to RMA) I could order with my own dutch creditcard. When I had to do an RMA because of a defect I had to order with a card registered on the same address where the phone will ship (Had to use the card of my friend). I think that this is still necessary. For the shipping to The Netherlands my friend used royal mail and it was about 10 Euro.

[Nexus 5 General] revo66:
Nou ik ga hem in ieder geval niet kopen voor de achterlijke prijs van 459 euro, een ritje naar Duitsland misschien... (Mediamarkt Nordhorn?)

Well I am not gonna buy it for the extremely high price of 459 euros, maybe a trip to Germany...
[Nexus 5 General] Thijsvr:
Sounds like a roadtrip. I'm driving to Germany and get myself one there. You're all welcome to join!

If it has to go through the Playstore, I'm getting it from France through a friend.
[Nexus 5 General] lieuwex:
Why don't I have friends in abroad country's? :(
[Nexus 5 General] scandalousk:
I could easily get it from the USA. The problem is, I'm not sure if the version sold in the USA supports the LTE frequencies in The Netherlands. As of now, we have no clue as to which version Google actually released. Are they two separate versions or is a single version that supports all the LTE networks across the globe...
[Nexus 5 General] moonwitch:
I am wondering about the bands as well, also does anyone have experience buying it through a friend and having it sent to you? Last time I bought t-shirts from the US, I had to pay the same amount as the t-shirts were in import taxes. I am kinda trying to not pay double the Google Store price ;)

ps. Belgium here.
[Nexus 5 General] RichJo86:
When seeing this I would think that there are two versions.
[Nexus 5 General] moonwitch:
Thanks. Based on that only LTE would cause issues
[Nexus 5 General] FrankyDoodle:
Good news anyways.. N5 will be sold for €399 instead of €469.

Only 16GB though.

[Nexus 5 General] wathefak:

[Nexus 5 General] FrankyDoodle:
Has anyone seen the Nexus 5 laying in a physical store? Or is it like last year that it's only sold online?
[Nexus 5 General] wathefak:
I just had a quick look in MediaMarkt Enschede and guess what, there's a physical nexus 5 16GB laying around ready to be bought
[Nexus 5 General] zippy1990:
Still no news for the 32GB version?
[Nexus 5 General] RichJo86:
I read that the next shipment (1st or 2nd week November) could also bring the 32GB. But it was still a guess.
[Nexus 5 General] leomd333:
I was born in Sassenheim , if i didn't move to the uk, idd have no N5 haha :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] Stevemeister:
I bought one 2 days ago at Mediamarkt Rotterdam Alexander. They had a lot of them (50).

Great device so far!
[Nexus 5 General] FrankyDoodle:
LG stated that they had no plans to bring the 32GB version to the Netherlands when they launched it here.
[Nexus 5 General] RichJo86:
Link

My interpretation = so it's a maybe / big guess

Can't understand why LG/Google wouldn't sell the 32GB worldwide, online and offline.

I doubt I buy the 16GB version of the N5 because I already have a 16GB N4 and yes de N5 is better on specs but not enough for now.

Hi,

My country recd update to 4.3 almost 2 days ago, i m trying to update but cant updte thru OTA , it says max no. of rollouts have exceeded something so u cant upgrade, when i try through kies, it download firmware then force closes,

Is there any other way of upgrading?

I recently came across manual update, using odin,

If i download firmware from samfirmware.com and then install it through odin/stock recovery,

will it void my warranty?

I want to keep it under warranty for another month or so ...

Well fingers crossed waiting fr someone to crack it ...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maanz "L":
reading yr 1st post again;

if u download yr latest firmware from Sammobile and flash it with odin, it will not void yr warranty because this is a stock firmware. Samsung has already know that the latest update has been released. So, knox is 0x0. (if u keep it unrooted for a month or so...)

But if you rooted yr latest stock firmware, then the knox will be triggered 0x1. and warranty will be void.

just a note: flashing anything after "XXUD" firmware will trip a flag.

I hope u get a clearer picture. :)

I just bought a used VS980. I don't use a Verizon's CDMA UIM card. GSM SIM card inserted it can work, but the non-Verizon CDMA card inserted it shows "no service". Is it locked by Verizon?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] honentan:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XanoZuke:
This phone does not work with CDMA sim cards.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
Quite sure that the point of CDMA is that you can't use any other carrier's CDMA sim...

You're thinking of GSM. You can use pretty much all GSM sims in the VS980 because 4G Verizon phones come as "World Phones". No phone can handle CDMA cards from different carriers.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antinorm:
There's no such thing as a CDMA sim card. LTE uses sim cards, which is why the VS980 has a sim card slot.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XanoZuke:
There are some carriers outside of US that use CDMA/LTE sim cards, they are used to register on both networks, much like GSM but use CDMA access.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] honentan:
My friend owned another vs980. And, ChinaTelecom CDMA uim card works fine on his phone. I think that my phone was locked of some type simlock by Verizon.

Maybe your sim just happens to be incompatible. Try another sim, possibly from a different carrier? Because any non-Verizon CDMA isn't supposed to work on this phone.

[General Omni Discussion] championswimmer:
One of the things that I have been feeling is that the custom ROM community is growing at very high rate.

Going by the stats counters of various ROMs, we can peg CM, AOKP and Paranoid at 8mil, 4mil and 2mil each. There is also 1mil users of the mashup PAC-Rom.

Considering Omni is a huge project, this will race up to few millions soon. With a diaspora of 15-20 million users out there, we pretty obviously have a niche market of apps for these custom ROMs out there in the wild. In fact there are a lot of apps which are made specifically for custom ROMs.

For people who want to develop apps for these devices though, they are constrained to work with the AOSP SDK. But the custom ROM community has over the years made the the Settings and all Provider databases run on steroids with huge additions to them which can be brilliantly used to make more powerful apps.

Building an the SDK is in fact trivial

. build/envsetup.sh
make -j8 PRODUCT-sdk-sdk dist

or another way is

. build/envsetup.sh
lunch mako-userdebug
make -j8 sdk

The guys over there at Replicant already do make their own SDK with every release they make. I personally feel since at omni we are doing a great job of supportting so many devices, so many features and doing it in a well maintained way, we definitely should have our own SDK too.

I am a device maintainer at AOKP, and currently I am working on creating AOKP SDK too. (It does need pruning of the whole source a lot. Since the sdk building process validates the existence of each PRODUCT_PACKAGES call and does not ignore javadocs warnings)

http://goo.im/devs/kxp/android.jar

This here is a modified android.jar that can be replaced at sdk.dir/platforms/android-18/android.jar to support building apps using AOKP's custom variables and APIs.

Also such a venture helps building and testing of ad-hoc packages like AOKP's ROMControl or omni's OmniGears on studio/eclipse.
[General Omni Discussion] maxwen:
Sounds awesome

So what would be the effect in daily omni dev?

Are there things we should consider to make creating an SDK

as easy as possible?
[General Omni Discussion] championswimmer:
I do not have a local copy of the omni source to be honest

I will sync up omni this weekend and start off with this. Will see what problems I face, and what can be done to keep the sdk always buildable.

SDK can be built out of pure AOSP source usually always.

Modified sources like that of a custom ROM often hacks with the build system (things like BUILD_PREBUILT and overriding LOCAL_MODULE etc as you know) which makes building sdk off the source of a custom ROM not that straight forward. right now i am in fact fighting with the AOKP source and trying to figure out what are the various things that need fixings.

Also in the framework packages, presence of lint warnings and other non-standard '@modifiers' like for eg. [MENTION=1177323]hid[/MENTION] makes sdk unhappy.

Replicant is an excellent examply of an Android fork that is always buildable for both devices as well as for the sdk.

As far as release cycle is considered, we can do that something like once a month or so ? The fully built zip of the sdk is ~350mb usually.
[General Omni Discussion] XpLoDWilD:
Thanks for the tip! This is actually really nice.

We might build one as part of nightlies, that could come in handy. One thing to remember though is that the APIs we add to framework aren't meant to be used by apps directly as they are highly versatile and likely to change from day to day. We also enforce permission checks on everything we do to avoid any sneaky app.
[General Omni Discussion] championswimmer:
[MENTION=2162789]XpLoDWilD[/MENTION]

The [MENTION=278736]hide[/MENTION] identifier is there precisely for the same reason

API's that should not be generated as stubs for android.jar should be under [MENTION=278736]hide[/MENTION]

AOSP itself used [MENTION=278736]hide[/MENTION] to keep some api's hidden which is not supposed to be used the by the casual app developer. (for example most provider apis are hidden only in sdk)

So if there is something that is REALLY volatile or something that should not be exposed into SDK (hacked up stuff ;) ), they can be taken of using [MENTION=278736]hide[/MENTION]
[General Omni Discussion] Entropy512:
Which, so far, has usually been a case of "@hide everything" for most custom firmwares so as not to cause compatibility issues.

Changing this would require some pretty serious thought and would need to be done very carefully.
[General Omni Discussion] championswimmer:
Okay as far as providing regularly updated APIs to app developers is concerned that would involve some thing like this

lunch a buildable device (full or sdk-eng will also do, or just simple lunch omni_mako-userdebug)

mka core; mka framework;

the following files

/home/championswimmer/jb-mr2/out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/framework_intermediates/classes.jar

/home/championswimmer/jb-mr2/out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/core_intermediates/classes.jar

(preferably renamed to core.jar and framework.jar) can be released then.

These, if added to external libraries in studio/eclipse (and has to be put higher in order of inclusion than android.jar from the sdk) can allow people to work using custom-added APIs of omni.

P.S. These libraries have stubs of [MENTION=278736]hide[/MENTION] methods too. The [MENTION=278736]hide[/MENTION] quantifier is not respected, and all APIs are exposed.
[General Omni Discussion] championswimmer:
hacked this up

http://gerrit.aokp.co/#/c/14129/

anyone can feel free to port this for omni too. should be a matter of just changing the CUSTOM_NAME variable.
