Most likely wp8 is made only for the specific hardware for the phones it comes on, RT is made for any ARM processor and would likely have more compatibility/driver support
[One (M7) Original Android Development] CharliesTheMan:
If developers took no for an answer, we wouldn't be where we are today with smartphones. We have seen time and time again that people say something can't be unlocked, can't be rooted, can't be ported, can't be reverse engineered, and thankfully developers are willing to take that as motivation and keep trudging along. I've been told often that something couldn't be fixed, started digging and researching, and found a failed attempt at something a few years ago that helped push my thinking in a different direction, and digging around in kernel source, archived threads, and working with developers we pulled it off. Here in the development section, negativity is something we should try to avoid. It shouldn't all be rainbows and ponys, but there's plenty of grump worthy action to fuss around about, and a developer attempting something impossible surely isn't the worst thing to happen here on XDA. In the general section is one thing but we all know, it's a different breed in there. A lot of us are to the point of avoiding it due to how antidevelopment it can be in there. Coutella is here trying, and learning, and sharing. It might be impossible to find a final solution, but in development there's A LOT that's learned during the journey. Having more knowledge and understanding of a device or software is always a step forward for the community, regardless of end goals.

Coutella share the knowledge you find even if it seems like bad news, a year down the road your results and trial and error may help a developer in their journey to unlock a device, or fix a factory defect, you just never know, and there's a lot of talented devs that will love the information you post but can't spend the time to produce the info themselves. A lot of people wish there was more of these types of projects than modified kangs whipped up overnight. Both are good, and appreciated, just different flavors of contributions.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etmccreary:
I am still using my Vzw Galaxy Nexus on a grandfathered unlimited data plan. I have been seriously thinking of getting a new phone for a while now, and the Nexus 5 is my preference...but with the news of Verizon not supporting it (and my contract expiring in early 2014), I am strongly considering leaving Big Red. My main question is where to go next. I am currently focusing on either Sprint or T-Mobile as they do have unlimited plans available.

I have always been with Verizon as part of a family plan, so I lack firsthand experience with either. T-Mobile has the better plans, but the local coverage is not particularly good. For those who have firsthand experience with T-Mobile and Sprint, what should I be aware of? Does anyone have any specific suggestions/warnings? Any other carriers I should consider (I am located in east Tennessee)?

Since I have not yet ordered the N5, I have a little bit of time, but would like to make a decision fairly soon. Any input is greatly appreciated.

As this is not entirely a Nexus 5 question, my apologies if it should be in another forum.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.Guido85:
I'm in the same boat as you. Download Sensorly from the play store and it will tell you who has the best coverage for your area/commute.

I'm leaning toward T Mobile for speed and good price plans for prepaid.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheryip:
do you really need 5gb of data every month? if not dont worry about the unlimited data and find what has the best coverage in your area
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etmccreary:
Rarely, but in some months, yes. I'm concerned more with the other members of that plan - the other one who still has unlimited averages more than that. Of course if I don't bring the rest of that group with me, it becomes a moot point.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbrown:
I am a VZW subscriber, and switched to TMO for the $70 a month unlimited plan. I get a corporate discount on TMO. I use my cell for work, so I needed voice minutes. I also looked at AIO Wireless for their $70 7GB plan, but I heard that ATT will be rolling them into their Leap wireless service, and pricing would be up in the air at the point. I was a long time Sprint user before VZW and their LTE rollout has been hit or miss (mostly miss in suburbs).

Will report back my findings.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jubakuba:
This will be me.

Dropping VZW for T-Mo with this plan once my N5 comes in. $70 gets you unlimited data with no cap after Xgigs of usage.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihalich1:
I wish there were a lot more of us in this boat so verizon would actually notice the amount of people that are going to bail. Then maybe they'd stop raping us. :(

Btw, J.Guido85, thanks for the Sensorly app info. That will help me figure out true TMO coverage in my area.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxRabbit:
Enjoy being out of contract and get Straight Talk. $45/mo unlimited* everything and you can choose service thru either at&t or T-Mobile.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donatom3:
Straight talk only gives you 2.5gb of data per month at high speed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxRabbit:
Yes, that's why I said unlimited*. It's still a great deal.

Thank you for sharing.

I have tried three different versions of these types of apps and none of them worked.

They either wouldn't install at all, or if they did they would immediately close saying "XYZ app has closed unfortunately.

If anybody gets one working correctly, please post the results :)

Did you make sure to move them over to /system/app?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] xManMythLegend:
Its a wishful thinking but Id love to see a MotoX style face for the watch. (Dynamic Notifications App mimics this).

The clockface would always be on and the notifications would only light up those portions of the screen and youd just touch and see what you have waiting.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] judders:
I've only had the Exec for a week and I've had to secure the SD card a few times where it's been accidentally been clicked out. I've just tried to save a doc and noticed that it's missing! :evil: :evil: :evil:

What a crud design. Surely there should be a cover over the memory card slot? :cry:

I do love my Exec, but right now I could launch it out the window!!! :evil:

Sorry, just had to vent! :(

BTW, great forum. Loads of useful info for a new user. :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Tis a bad design.

I suggest a little 3M ghost cellotape over the slot. Keeps it in, dust out, and doesn't look to cr*p (it's transparent)

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] judders:
Hey Vijay,

I think you're right. I'll do that, just as soon as I get my new card. At least I've got a good excuse to get a 2gb card now. :wink:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Guys, this might be a problem in need of a good solution either way. Just looked into my slot (!) and there's a lot of dust. Although the slot looks enclosed internally, we had big problems with SPV phones getting dusty through open slots in the old days...

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] MvanIperen:
I've absolutely no problems with my Qtek 9000, the SD-card is firmly fitted within the device.

When I want to remove it I have to press firmly and push it back at least 1,5 mm so I'm not afraid of losing it.

Maybe it is a problem with your device?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Abram:
Or maybe this.

Just for my 1gb card protection and answering the phone like the xda2 ( without opening it).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Hye, don't get me wrong, I don't use this idea myself, because I switch SD and wireless (between my magician and universal).

But I think generally, a small rubber flap over the SD flap would have been a good design. I think the Orange models have this feature.

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] stot:
This happend to me days after I got mine. The problem is that the SD slot is on the bottom. You put it in a pocket that has something in it, coins keys postage stamps ;) , and it depresses the SD card. You pull it out your pocket not realizing and the SD card falls out. :evil:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sampson2269:
So after I flashed 10.2 I can only boot my Verizon s3 on the first initial boot. If I ever have to reboot the phone, it locks up at cyanogenmod flash screen. The only way I can get the phone to boot back up after this, is to do a battery pull and boot into twrp. Then do a full format, doing just a factory reset doesn't work. Once I complete a full format, I can restore one of my backup images and the phone will boot once, and that's it. Then I have to start the process all over again, any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sampson2269:
Don't know if this helps but I'm currently running OSE 4.3.1, but have tried with dirty unicorn & liquid smooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sampson2269:
Well I managed to get this fixed not 100 percent sure on how, what I did was flash stock deodexed image in twrp, then started flashing from 10.1.3 and then to 10.2. I'm not sure which helped, but after this I was able to restore any of my previous roms and they boot just fine now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Were your backups all AOSP 4.3 as well or TW?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
I find if I'm getting an infinite bootloop like that, flashing stock seems to sort **** out. That's the case on the LG and Motorola phones I've owned as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sampson2269:
AOSP & AOKP none of them were TW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sampson2269:
Yep I guess so, still learning on all of this custom rom stuff. I tried everything prior to just flashing stock rooted rom, wasted a ton of time wish I would of thought of it sooner.

Below are some current rom's that i'm running all seem to be very stable with very little bugs.

Current Rom:[ROM][OFFICIAL][4.3] CM10.2 M1 for d2vzw so far this rom seems to be very stable have only had one random reboot since I flashed it yesterday.

Backup Up Rom's:

1. So far my all time favorite with very little issues:[ROM][4.3.1][Official][OSE Rom][d2vzw]

2. I really enjoy this rom only complaint is the cell service on it doesn't seem to be quite as stable:[ROM] [Team D.I.R.T] Dirty Unicorns 4.3.1 - d2vzw v3.9

3. Another very stable rom, only complaint is with the radio sometimes after a reboot radio doesn't work and you have to do a battery pull:[ROM][4.3][OFFICIAL] LiquidSmooth v2.10 - d2vzw - 10|6|13
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:

You are right 100% correct I went from a sidekick 4g to an p769 and u can't even unlock boot loader well you can but these people on our forums won't even show u or when they do u have to go through 4 million steps and eventually **** up somewhere
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kirakun:
Well actually its easy provided u have a P760 and a jelly bean v20B installed. <-- Those are important. Mine came with v20B.

I actually installed omap440 something following the "old installation process" of the thread and booted in fastboot and unlocked the BL in like 10 min.

Unfortunately i couldn't flash cwm :(

But i will agree that some instructions are not that clear.

Now i need help to flash cwm XD

Silly stupid noob question:

How to install it?

I dont understand how to do it xD
[Nexus 5 Android Development] shimp208:
You have to boot into fastboot mode to install this custom recovery on your device. Do you have fastboot and ADB setup on your computer and the device drivers installer for the Nexus 5? If you don't have fastboot and ADB setup on your computer I would recommend taking a look at this simple fastboot and ADB installer . Once you have fastboot and adb setup, and the device drivers installed follow the following steps:

1. Download this file.

2. Move the downloaded recovery file into the directory where you have ADB and Fastboot setup on your computer.

3. Navigate into the directory where you have ADB and Fastboot setup on your computer and run the following commands from the command prompt on your computer:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery hammerhead-cwm-6.0.4.4-unofficial.img

After following this procedure you will then have Clockworkmod Recovery installed on your device. Let me know if you still have questions.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] marinierb:
And make sure you

fastboot oem unlock

first!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Birba:
I installed the recovery via fastboot.

When i try to boot into recovery i'm stuck at google screen.

I'm able to reboot the device.

Whats wrong?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Batfink33:
Thats happening to me also.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] shimp208:
Are you too able to access recovery all? But you can reboot the device and still get into the bootloader for fastboot mode correct?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Batfink33:
I can get into the bootloader,and flash the recovery but if i restart into recovery it sits at the Google screen. I then have to press the power button and restart the whole phone, Ive also tried booting into recovery using quickboot but again it sits at the Google screen.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] qmanoulton:
sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do i boot into CWM? I have installed it correctly
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nad4321:
Do i first have to root it? Or does it do it automatically?

Would my data be deleted too?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] shimp208:
Interesting I'm curious to know if the TWRP build I posted does the same any hints from dmesg or last_kmsg would also be beneficial, is it possible for you use Android Debug Monitor (DDMS and Monitor in Android SDK tools folder if you have the sdk installed) and upload a log?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] codmaster:

Search the playstore for "no wallpaper". Setting a black wallpaper, and actually having no wallpaper makes a difference battery wise with an LCD screen.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
Nope, it could be pure white and wouldn't make a difference. You're confusing that with amoled screens :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmitr:
No confusion here at all

An Amoled screen saves power compared to an LCD because it does not have to "draw" black. Any black backgrounds = power savings because it does not render pixels. For an explanation on this research the active display on the moto x.

Now, overall with all pixels drawn (bright colours) an LCD is more conservative than a comparable Amoled. When tech review sites do battery tests LCD screens do better in browser tests due to the white background which LCD screens use less power drawing. The big BUT here, when compared to a standard "video loop" test Amoleds then show better due to the darker backgrounds.

Now, an LCD has to draw pixels for ALL colours. This is why a moto X style active display does nothing to save us power. Apps (normally requiring root) that truly have NO background actually saves power on an LCD screen because literally no pixels are drawn, there is NO colour.

Chainfire made the first app I used for this on my desire (lcd version....not the Amoled one). Google it, it would work.

I did the whole process backwards, I wiped and made a back up. Not a real problem. Just curious if it could work as a super wipe? I never experienced a problem restoring after a ROM tryout without wiping. With a no os backup and restoring that instead of wiping would that cause problems after a while?
