[General Questions and Answers] Amarali123:
I've got a relative in China, and the prices on Taobao for many phones are simply unmatched. I'd like her to order a ZTE and a Lenovo phone and mail it to me. Problem is, these sellers claim that it's locked to a particular Chinese carrier.

This got me researching whether and how I can unlock a phone on my own. Useful information is quite scarce, so I am reaching out to the amazing XDA crowd, hoping that I can pick somebody's brain.

My hope is that the fact that so many paid services exist already and seemingly proliferate means that SIM unlocking smartphones isn't impossible, even if you're simply a power user. Are they using one of these hack boxes, a special algorithm? Can you learn how to do it with any phone, and are all locks created equal?

Cheers for having a read!
[General Questions and Answers] onlineunlocks:
Most zte phones can be unlocked for fairly cheap price,but are some models that can not be unlocked specially if locked to a Chinese network (codes to western countries are more easily to find).The best thing would be to decide on a certain model then ask about the unlock and could give an exact answer
[General Questions and Answers] Amarali123:
ZTE V967s and Lenovo A760, and cheers for responding.
[General Questions and Answers] onlineunlocks:
This 2 are fairly new phones and for now there isn't a way to get unlocked,depending how popular are in a few month a solution might be available,but until then if you get one of those and is locked you will probably not be able to use it.So for now would recommend if you want this models better to get directly unlocked
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playboypaul:
Can Antone out there help me get the Google launcher, gallery and camera working properly? I've tried a few fixes on this site and others for the launcher but none work for me although some HTC one owners are reporting no problems.

When I try open the launcher app it crashes right away. I've changed the defaults and put in a new sys/lib file also but still just crashes on start.

Camera works as well as video but crashes when I try use pano or photos here. The gallery app same. Crashes on start. Please help if u can. Thanks

What ROM/Kernel are you using? Are you rooted? That sounds like the kinda errors I get when I flash a new base without wiping.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playboypaul:
I'm rooted but not on a custom ROM. And I didn't flash anything just installed the apk files. It works perfect on my galaxy S2 although the OK Google voice search only worked for a day. But won't work on my one. ?? I really want it on my one though
[Galaxy Note II General] indyakira:
I give up. I wanted to talk to people about what there running and how they are finding things like speed and stability tweaks to things that they have done themselves random kernel and ROM combinations that they tried out. But I've been told it would cause a riot and our sola system to collapse in on itself. Nobody wants that so I changed my post. Would you please delete it, before something terrible happens to us all l.

Hello guys,

Apparently I've reached my limits of Android competence while trying to map the sixaxis controller for Fifa 14 on my Transformer Infinity.

Anyone has (and cares to share) a working map file for this game? Or, if not, would someone bother to make one?

Thanks a lot.

Nevermind, guess I was just lazy :D . Still need to figure out how to map long pushes and slides, but the basic buttons are already working.

I live in Egypt where there is no google play devices or any place to buy a nexus 5

So, can somebody buy one for me? And how much do u want 4 it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omardeneo:
you will find it buy Nov. 25 in souq dot com

Sadly in Egypt it would be about 100$ more expensive than other countries prices or maybe more :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYCguy2020:
Swappa is a good place to start. Just ask the seller if he/she can ship overseas. It would cost a bit more though depending on the shipping method.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Buying & selling is not allowed in the forums. Maybe have a look at Swappa as has been suggested. Thanks for your cooperation. Thread closed.

Just installed Planmaker and Textmaker from Softmaker and they are running Very very nice just like a windows program :)

Try it with real VGA, you will be amazed...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Beautiful!

I really like textmaker, although I've barely had need to use it, but it looks great. Is this the same version as the old WM2003 one, but just running on WM5? Universal must be the best way to use this kind of pro software!

Heh, for the full experience, try my VJFullscreenTSC:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] shaytaan:
Yes they are the old versions but they are for Handheld PCs :)

@Shaytaan:

I installed the handheld version of planmaker on my Jasjar but I cannot see the menus, etc. I believe the problem is that I did not run the program in real vga mode as your recommend.

I know it might sound silly but can you please guide me how to turn on the VGA mode on my Jasjar.

Thanks for the wonderful information and kind regards

Oxymoron
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] eksasol:
Gameloft games are made for maximum profit, they're the EA of mobile gaming. They forced their employees to work long hours, while this is the norm for gaming industry, 120hours a week has been quoted. They have poor users policy as well. They will purposefully make older games incompatible with newer devices or take them off the market even though you purchased the game and the device can run it, to promote their new ones. They originally charged 99cents for Asphalt 8, but the game is designed as free to play, as in you play for long hours to gain points/money in order to progress or upgrade and utilize in game purchases that way, milking more money from its users that way.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] nedooo:
Anyway, it is a crap game compared to NFS and RR 2 (my extended elaboration), and I was just kidding :p

p.s. it is an oxymoron for real :p ;)

Since the latest update i'm completely unable to open anything from within the menu. I have no access to any races, options, multiplayer whatsoever, it just won't open and i'm stuck in the menu. I can't even quit the game with my device's back-button.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] carlosmg2:
Try disabling AdBlock or Ad-Away. I was also mad about this and the problem was a hidden AD on top of the Menu.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] iSaoHatake:
The game is stuttering on kit kat 4.4 builds, the car seems to going back on high velocity. Wierd.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Preyker:
Really? Well thank you for the advice and info but i will certainly not disable my ad blocker for a paid game to show me ads i haven't had before. Also disabling is not that easy in my case since the ad blocker is included within my ROM (ARHD for HTC One). In order to disable it i would have to completely reflash it which i'm also not going to do just for this insolence on the part of Gameloft.

In what way is this even legal procedure by Gameloft making me pay for a game first and patching it to unplayability with an unrestorable update later on? :confused:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Tuningszocske:
You have to add *gameloft* to the host whitelist, and everything will work.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] carlosmg2:
This is what I was looking for but didn't know how to. Thanks
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Preyker:
Sounds promising but the hosts file itself is rather a blacklist isn't it? How do i configure a hosts whitelist then?

asphalt 8 not install

installation file is save in device storage not in sd card (after factory data reset i'm only start downloading asphalt 8 ) obb file is download from play stor and save 1.6 gb in device storage/android/obb . but game not install due to low memory how to install direct in memory card :confused::confused::confused:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] darkrai:
I think that the game needs to be installed on internal memory

Free that much space and try again

If there's still a problem then force stop your play store and clear it's data and cache

If it still does not happen, then search for any file having Gameloft tag in it in sdcard/android/obb and do the same in root/data/data

If still your app is not getting downloaded, Gameloft hates you!

BTW there are a few ways to allocate sdcard space as internal memory, Google it and you will find it. But remember not to mess too much with your phone (galaxy s duos) as you still don't know much about android yet (you may brick it)! (I recommend a nexus as your next phone as they are the simplest droids and have value for money)

Any port for this app by which we can light up the device just by tapping twice on the screen...

Kernel is responsible for this.I dont know anymore.

That feature should be embedded in to the kernel to work.. There is a feature called DT2W(Double Tap to Wake), which is present on many of the kernels for other devices.

And there is an app called Proximity screen off,which does the same thing,if i am not wrong :) You guys can try it.

After flashing CM did you factory reset straight after flashing the rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsilver73:
Go back to recovery, wipe data' cache and dalvik, then reboot. Failing that, find a tar file fire the ROM you want, go back into download mode, connect phone to PC and start Odin, place tar in PDA and flash through odin then you should be good to go.

Hope this helps.
[LG Optimus G (International)] zertion:
Hello all

My Optimus G is stuck in "Secure Booting Error! Cause : boot certification verify" and I can't seem to do anything at all. When I hold down the power button the screen turns off for a couple of seconds and then it turns back on and displays the same error. It's almost like the device isn't turned off but rather is locked and I can turn it back on using the volume buttons instead of the power button. I've tried to hold down the volume up and power button bit nothing happens so I can't connect to it through my computer and I'm unable to get it to boot into anything.

Is there anything I can do to revert it back into stock?

Plug the Nexus 5 into your computer with the USB cable.

Open Device Manager.

Find "Android Device" near the top and expand the node. Double click on "Android Composite ADB Interface".

In the properties window that pops up, uninstall and delete the current driver.

Unplug your Nexus 5 and plug it back in.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spunky_Monkey:
Try putting your phone back to usb debug mode and then from device manager uninstall the Google Nexus ADB Interface. Then at the top under actions click scan for hardware changes and try to install the driver again when it finds the device. I know i had to do this on mine.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Striatum_bdr:
Where did you read that? Google suppressed the mass storage mode with jb, since 'internal sdcard' is merely a folder of data partition mounted as a virtual vfat disk through fuse.

I can't imagine they suppressed a feature from android filesystem setup to introduce it back on a single flagship device.

And even if I'm not dev, every dev questioned about this said it's impossible with this filesystem setup. It would be only possible with a separate partition, (like on my sgs3) with external sdcard for example.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmh:
Here you can find working drivers:

https://dl-ssl.google.com//android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip

If it doesnt work, you probably need to repeat the 5 steps I mentioned before as it usually means that even tho you have installed the proper drivers Windows is still using old ones. When you look at the driver properties you should be able to see who supplied them and when, thus illustrating if you are using the ones I just linked.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJCord:
wenn pluging in my N5 windows installs something. but it says that the driver dates are all unknown (no driver seems to be installed)

when manually choosing your usb driver folder it says, that no fitting driver has been found. and when choosing "show list of drivers..." => "Android device" its gives me 3 options:

- Android ADB interface

- Android Bootloader interface

- Android Composite ADB interface

wich do i choose? are that at least drivers i need to use filetransfer? i mean; nice to know that the bootloader stuff is there, should i need it, but i just want my files!^^
