[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tortoracer:
to answer a few of your questions as best i can:

we cannot use ROMs for other devices because the kernel was not meant to run anything except the stock ROM, and it will cause most likely bootloops, or maybe even bricking the device, AVOID flashing ROMs for any other devices. ROMs meant to work with this kernel will also work because just that: they were designed to work with the kernel.

the droid maxx and the droid ultra are virtually the same device...difference being the battery. (that is what i was responded with on droidforums). the droid mini may also be the same device, but do not quote me on that.

developers are somewhat limited, even on this forum...this phone is only a couple months old, and we only somewhat recently got root access...with the OTA as recent news, we are all still trying to get situated as it is. it has been said often: it is a VERY nice stock android. kit kat is coming very shortly, and i want to believe developers are even waiting until that to begin real development.

what exactly do you mean by proper root? we have root, and root access is root access...you may need to boot into recovery to get COMPLETE access, but that is fine for me, and i assume 90% of the members on here. locked bootloader is a seperate thing i think? (another reason why ROMs are not available yet, we do not know how to fully unlock the bootloader)

themes are as nonexistant as ROMs, but play around with apex launcher, go launcher, windows 8 launcher, holo launcher...i use apex and it is as customizable as i need, the free features are enough. my friend loves windows 8 launcher (and it is pretty neat).

what were you thinking in terms of themes? you name it and i can tell you how to customize it, aside from the notification/status bar.

hope i answered some questions :)
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vonsk:
Thank you for your thoughtful response all parts!

Yeah, with the OTA/Kit Kat coming soon, I'm guessing a lot of the devs are just going to sit on their hands until then. Just strange that with other flagship/major phones, by 2 months in (where we are now) there was almost a laundry list of ROMs. Sucks that this phone is so locked down, and strange.

And for themes they really aren't nonexistant- There's "Themer," - a lot of people waited for it but I don't think it's thaaat great. "Everything Home (Beta)" - Asks what you're thinking and loads wallpaper/games/apps/info about whatever you typed (What I'm currently using). And I have "Aviate" installed, but it requires an invite :( it's supposed to automatically adjust your home screen based on your environment.

And I know root is root, but I didn't even think you could actually do a full ROM with the state of the current root.

**Also, I guess no one is going to answer why 3 phones are all in the same forum instead of being separated because they're "basically the same" but you CANNOT use any ROMs interchangeably or much else, for that matter. Annoyingly confusing. My guess is once there is ACTUAL development going on for the Maxx, it will get separated- it will have to be to avoid confusion. But meanwhile when nothing is being done, I guess it doesn't matter.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tortoracer:
depends on your definition of a full ROM....im coming from a droid 4 with the same restrictions as the droid maxx, and had a custom ROM flashed...in my eyes that is a full ROM (you just have to wait for it.). i have also never experienced any other devies (smart phones at least).

i suppose a full rom could by definition mean it has a kernel built for it also, but i am unsure what the practical difference is past that.

to clarify a little further on the point about the different phones on the same subforum: the droid maxx, and droid ultra (maybe mini, again, not sure) are the same device aside from the battery. im 95% sure with that being said, you CAN flash ROMs interchangeably between these devices. when i said to not interchange devices ROMs, i meant a droid 4 and a droid maxx, for instance. if it is in the same subforum, it is fair game (im 95% sure, verify before anything).

the forum admin's had to make a couple tough decisions before deciding to do it like this im sure. if they make separate subforums, the confusion begins whether you can or cannot use things interchangeably (where in this case you can). if they do it all as one, you need to be somewhat knowledgeable to know where your phone lies, but the confusion will fade alot quicker to what is compatible with your device.

this is all speculation to be honest, dont quote it as fact. (to be honest when you referenced op, i thought it was me since i have a nearly identical thread in droidforums.)
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vonsk:
Can someone knowledgeable answer this?

Can someone with the Droid Maxx flash a ROM made for the Droid Ultra/Mini?

Would appreciate someone (dev, admin) answering this and clearing up a whole lot of confusion.

Thanks!

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitaloutsider:
You can't flash anything because there is no unlocked bootloader yet (unless you have a Dev device).

I might be the minority here or something, but this is the first Android phone I've owned where I'm not dying to get the stock ROM off. It's fast, I have every customization I want now that we have root and write access and SafeStrap allows me to safely mess with the ROM and go back in case something bad happens.

As far as root is concerned, we HAVE root. Root has nothing to do with an unlocked bootloader and ROMs.

What exactly are you wanting so bad that you can't get some other way?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vonsk:
Mini/Ultra/Maxx

The question was is it possible. Trying to understand why multiple devices are under the same subforum if it's not because you can interchangeably flash ROMs etc.

And unless you are a dev, the most you're going to do with "root" alone is over/underclock and play around with a few apps. The "full" root that I'm talking about includes the bootloader for an entire overhaul experience. No, the stock ROM is not terrible, and in fact is one of my favorites; however, it's still vanilla, and half the point of getting Android is to customize it how you see fit.

So, I'll ask again- can you interchangeably flash ROMs (when they finally become available for Maxx) that are within this subforum (mini/ultra/maxx)?

Thanks!
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tortoracer:
although we have root, we cannot actually unroot if you accepted the OTA...learned that from a new friend on this forum.

i want TiBu primarily, safestrap also primarily...these are obvious.

i want my notification toggles app to toggle mobile hotspot (for free), and GPS without any menu's, root is required.

i want tasker to toggle my GPS via secure settings (a plugin) that requires root. i want adfree to be on my device (requires root), and busybox which is crucial to alot of root apps is a must (not really sure what it is, but alot of apps use it).

last but CERTAINLY not least, i want to the the smooth scroll, and finer volume adjustments mod seen here. no apps do this job properly, most are a mask.

as you can see, there is a HUGE desire for proper development work on this device...android does not feel right when my phone says im not allowed to do something.

these phones are like prostitutes, you buy them under the conditions that they will do whatever you want them to do for you unconditionally...they are expensive, but they are sooo worth it :cool:
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjack:
You can't paint this picture with one brush...

That will depend on whether the devs build for each different model/carrier. In theory - yes since the phones are basically the same. Any internal (filesystem) differences haven't really been shown.

If the BL gets unlocked then any aosp roms will need carrier provisioning, gapps etc. Those parts may be model specific.

So to answer your question - Maybe, and that's final.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vonsk:
That's pretty much as much as I can expect, thank you.

But to the admins that moved these phones to be under the same subforum- there is no good reason to do that and you're just going to confuse people; should have waited until/if it was decided all development would be the same for these phones and THEN merged them.

*stops shouting into empty cave*

One last thing, though- you said IF the BL gets unlocked? I hope that's a joke.

Also, I thought Google was cheering the devs on, and now that they own Motorola I can't understand why they're not prying loose these locked down phones. It really sucks to have something you /own/ be locked down like this, especially Android.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanja_z:
Hey guys, just wondering if there is any chance of CM10.2 (Android 4.3 based) being ported over to the Nexus 5? I seem to remember reading that the CM team were going to concentrate on getting a stable 10.2 release before they start working on a new version based on 4.4 so we might be waiting a while for CM10.3 or whatever comes next.

Anyone have more info?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JCreazy:
As far as I know they are working on a stable release for the phones that are already running 10.2

I am pretty sure that they will go straight to Kit Kat with CM11. It has already been pushed to github so it is only a matter of time until it is released.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Melodic13:
Just in case anyone else has this problem I decided to post it here.

I was having issues with MMS on Jedi X 20 for my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 (toltetmo). I would try to send and receive MMS but they wouldn't go through. What helped me was tweaking the APN settings, I was missing:

"mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc" (make sure to add "http;//" at the beginning) from the MMSC section

of my APN settings &

"default,mms,supl" under APN type (also found within APN setting).

You can access your APN settings via the following:

APN Settings

From any Home screen, tap the Menu key.

Tap Settings.

Tap More settings.

Tap Mobile networks.

Tap Access Point Names.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pvaldeben:
Thanks for this fix. Before this I was to switch to the other apn so that mms worked. I see you used the same values from the other apn. Makes sense.

The other apn has dun at the end of apn type. Whats that for.

Again, thanks for posting this fix.

It just won't work on this phone for me. I get redirected to a tmobile login page everytime I enter a website. Called tmobile/visit the store and they tried to fix it for hours but there's no solution besides changing the data plan. The plan works fine on my GNex. Maybe the problem and solution is similar to this?

t-mobile web2go data plan not working on nexus 5

Same exact scenario for me. I've been trying to test different APNs that worked on my Nexus 4 but to no avail. I'm really hoping with is able to find a solution for this. I've used the web2go plan for my HTC hero, GNexus, and Nexus 4. t-mobile agents are telling me to upgrade to the premium internet. I'm having doubts that this will work for this phone because of the LTE network. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAtheistOtaku:
tmobile is in the process of switching EVERYONES (yes everyones, you dont have a choice in the matter) grandfathered plans to their new simple choice plans. So basically, they wont let you transfer it to a new phone, ANY new phone. and even with your current phone, you will be forced to switch, eventually.

I would suggest just bite the bullet now and switch, because its happening sooner or later
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
Are you using the same old Sim card, trimmed down to micro-size or did you manage to switch to a new micr-Sim and spoke to CS to update it - otherwise, LTE and even HSPA won't be provisioned properly for it, that is - if grandfathered plans are allowed to run on 3G/4G LTE signals.

Good grief - we had a T-Mo p/p line using a Moto candy bar phone a few years ago with free web2go, super slow as in GPRS speed, not even Edge or 2G, since discontinued & transitioned to PAYG with Gold status - I use it as backup for emergencies since my primary carrier is CDMA with Big Red (well, not for long - less than 2 weeks before the big switch)

My PAYG line was/is still on the 25 cents per minute calling plan with data - but, I managed to update the activated Sim card in use to a brand new micro-sim card, and I'm using the N5 with Google Voice & Talkatone to make "test" calls over WiFi at home & in the field offices - I switched over to the $3 daily unlimited call/text & 200MB data plan just to test out LTE, and it worked - great speed & flawless. Speed is far superior to VZW's 3G data under speedtest condition.

I tried to stay current with "tweaks" over at Howardforum as well - IMO - there's no way to access HSPA/LTE if you stay on those old plans with grandfathered t-zones & sneak in.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirk03:
I got the micro SIM made last year when I got the nexus 4. Wasn't aware that there were different provisions regarding SIM cards. It's looking more like switching data plans is the only solution.

I'll take another crack with T-Mo CS.

Thanks all.

Hi;

I have a Verizon MJ7, my phone has not been rooted before; I have unlimited data and was able to use wireless tethering without root, but after the last MJ7 update, this method does not work anymore... so, It seems that I will need to root the phone: my goal is to be able to do wifi tethering and remove some bloat..... is there any safe and tested root method for the MJ7? or can I do wifi tethering on the MJ7 without rooting?

thanks

No root anymore. I believe there was a method or two, but they were deemed unsafe and therefore removed from all threads. You would need to wait for a new safe method to come along.

Try FoxFi to tether.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cell128:
Just a tip.. Us left with unlimited data can add the mobile hotspot which is 30$ extra and has unlimited tethering. I believe verizon is the last one to offer this. Every other carrier limits their hotpstop so they make more money.. If you can't live without it at least the option is still there. Also this is in wrong section.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ajarmeh104:
thanks;;; seems that I will need to wait a bit..... :(

There was a way to manually add the hotpsot toggle to the notification bar with sqlite editor and it would bypass the tethering subscription check. I don't have a link for you but try that and see if it works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 318sugarhill:
Pay for the Foxfi App. It works. You will still tether. It will require you to use a pin or pattern screen lock though. Tested on my wife's unrooted stock S4 with MJ7
