[HTC One SV] Ivory_75:
So let's ask something unusual.

How complicated is it to go from Android 4.2 to Android 4.4 ? (For HTC, and for a dev? )

And compare to 4.1 to 4.2 transition, how is it ? (easier, harder?)

Is there a big change in the drivers, that require intervention from hardware manufacturer? Or is it possible to re-use the same driver from 4.2 ?

If drivers are the same, how complicated is it to go from Android source code with 4.2 drivers to a ROM ?

I'm not a developper, i don't do code. But identifying the tricky parts and requirements might be a good start. (Let's not talk about Sense for now)

Our SoC is a very common one. So Driver wouldn't be so hard to get?

Maybe HTC will follow 18months support recommendation from Google and grant us with a new update in May 2014 (18 months after nov. 2012)

Our phone was a "transition", to keep people waiting for their HTC One flagship. It also was in a tought financial period for HTC with decreasing sales. So a little consideration would be welcome...

I remember that in France, the press was talking about the ONE. They "used" the buzz in ads, calling it the HTC ONEsv (with big ONE and very little sv so you almost don't see it from the car on in the subway ... ) It is called as part of the One family, but it is a Desire family model...

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
* Use Odin 3.07 for JB not 1.85,

* Download THIS firmware and extract from zip,

* Make sure you installed drivers (ODIN should say "Added" when you connect your phone in download mode)

* Open ODIN and give the tar file (you extracted) to PDA section,

* Close the device then go into download mode and connect device to PC, (and again ODIN should say "Added")

* Flash

- after flashing phone probably go into bootlop so remove the battery and go to the recovery mode (VolUp-Home-Power) choose WIPE DATA / FACTORY RESET (This one wipe your apps not internal storage)

Try this: put some JB stock based ROM on your sd, open CWM and do factory reset and wipe everything you see (cache, dalvik, system, preload...). After that install ROM.

Make all wipes including fix permissions in cwm temporaly in 4.1.2, a counter going to start after fix permissions... so extract the battery, and then flash a stock jb via odin...

Sorry for my bad english
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alete89:
If you don't have any baseband or 3g problem the steps should be:

1)downgrade to GB 2.3.6, you can try downgrading with ODIN 1.85 with 3 files (PDA, PIT, CSC) and checking the "re-partition" option (be carefull, this will erase the "sdcard0" internal phone memory!, make a backup if you have personal stuff there). If EVERYTHING works well, (even 3g and baseband) continue to:

2) flash JB 4.1.2 stock with odin (a newer one if you have it) only with PDA (without checking re-partition!) and that should work well.

If you have back ups made with CWM or TWPR: flash your custom recovery from stock recovery and then root.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amr diab:
i did these things before a lot of times and i'm now on GB and everything is fine

i ca't start jellybean any more because the wizard crashes and i tried harshjelly but came without any programs like you

but your baseband was xxxx and u solved it with the modem file and everything is ok ? am i right ?

i don't have this problem how can i fix the jellybean problem ?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alete89:
Well. When I had that problem I wasn't sure if wizard and baseband problem was related, but both things fixed when I replaced my modemfs with one from my friend.

If you want to try the same (at your own risk), you have to:

1) have a rooted GB (there are guides all over the internet)

2) download the file: goo.gl/DzAjza (it is from company: Claro, Argentina, UBLD1, I'm sure it is not "device specific" but I'm not sure if it is "carrier specific") and put it in your phone.

3) install any Terminal app from playstore

4) in terminal write:

"su" (to get super user privileges)

and then:

dd if=/sdcard/modemfs.img.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2

assuming that you put the file in your sdcard. (write carefully!!! you can mess it up hard if you misstype here)

then reboot and check if everything work properly, if yes, try flashing JB with Odin again and cross fingers.

Good luck!

Hi everyone,

Here is the link for the android 4.4 kit-kat source. We can experience a new version of android . It is not a rom, is only the source to make a rom, hope we can enjoy one rom in a short time!!

The nexus 7 will get 4.4?

If the nexus 7 will get the new version it be more easy to port it to the HOX?

actually this is wrong the N7 Tegra 3 chip is different than ours it`s newer
[HTC One X] parkentosh:
That wasn't the point. The point was that there is a nexus device associated with nvidia..

Edit: As i've understood the difference between t30 and t30l is not very big. The difference between t30 and t33 (hox+) is much greater...

Edit2: It seems that while the tegra in n7 is newer the one in our phone is faster. The t30l seems to be just clocked lower (cpu, gpu and ram)

Hehe it doesnt matter whether it's sense or not, Sense kernels can boot on aosp ROMs when you change the Ramdisk, we could effectively use the kernel and make our own Ramdisk.

P.S. does anyone else have a sneaking suspicion that Eternity Project's 3.4 kernel could boot KitKat?

Thoughts?

Offers?

Thanks!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] stot:
Do it and dont look back.

Main reason? EDGE compatibility. Especially as your in the US.

Only thing the Uni has that I want over and above the Wizard is VGA. But I can live with the tiny QVGA screen on the Wizard. The VGA screen is the main reason the Uni is so sluggish anyway, as it uses the processor as its video controller instead of a seperate VGA chip.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] stot:
Ferarri - BMW.. Not entirely true.

The Universal on its face is a good device. But once you start using it it has its annoyances that can outweigh the VGA screen, the

only

great thing it has going for it. It has a faster CPU but its impacted by the fact that the CPU is drawing 4 times the screen real estate which slows it down a LOT.

Ram/Rom is the same

Both have a QWERTY K/B

Both have Bluetooth

Both have 1.3MP camera.

Also be aware that in the US there is no 3G WCDMA network, there is 3G EDGE rolling out tho, so the Wiz can go 3G out here.

Oh and the Wiz has Wifi b and g and will be upgradeable via rom to e and i too. Universal is b only.

IMO the Universal is a little too fragile also. Not sure about the Wiz as i havent got it yet but its on its way and I had a play with it. its seemed to be more sturdy.

So. Its more like comparing a Ferarri towing a caravan, looks great fairly slick and fast engine bogged down, to a Caterham 7. Looks great, bit smaller, less powerfull engine, fairly robust, No caravan. ;)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Mikey Mike:
i had a Wizard for a couple of weeks. to be honest i loved it but i found the screen too small for easy reading of mail, spreadsheets, internet browsing etc. As a phone it is definitely preferable to the Universal BUT, from my humble point of view, the Universal is the best all rounder i've ever used - it's awesome. Also, once you've tweaked the Universal it's realy fast AND reliable and it does mean that for short journey's abroad i don't need to take my laptop. oh yeah, the Wizard uses mini SD which means you are limited to a 1GB storage card and if you like music, video etc that just ain't enough!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
The Wizard has a keyboard.....all right.....BUT, it doesnt have a separate row for numbers (0-9). It shares it with the qwert... keys, and that's simply bad!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] JaySea:
ferrari and BMW?

Think not you are giving the wizard too much credit.

Main problems with the wizard: Too small, it is a stuck up mda compact.

The processor is downright slow.

You are living in the US so yeah, edge is the only option for the 3g network.

Still I think you should not just throw it away and get the wizard.

Furthermore if you do change it is a waste of your money, as the wizard is much cheaper then the universal.

Offcourse there are problems with the universal... what did you expect.

The universal uses vga, which is not supported yet. It uses wm5 too which is not highly compatible with known programs either.

I suggest you wait a while before you do something I am sure you will regret sooner or later.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cyberslinger:

I would check your exec they are just as cheap. I dropped my orange variant and the case split open. I am unbiased as I have both and actually vga is supported nativly since wm 2003. So it is not a new thing manuafactures choose not to implement screens.

Wizard thogh a tad slower gets the job done, remeber the tortoise and the bunny. Besides have you actually looked at the benchmarks for the exec they are not that inspiring.
