Haha yeah you can chnge it.. just flash Kl3keners kernel. Unless you take the boot.img aprt its the .rle file . Two major parts to the boot. Img and that is the zImage and then there is a folder for the ramdisk with, on mine, 31 items. 31

Inside or that folder is an initlogo.rle it goes on and on and on just to change the pic you need a .png to rle converter might as well set up the android kitchen while uoure at. No kidding it would make it worthwhile. Everyone should set up Dsixdas kitchen btw. Get linux distro and flash your computer =) the fun never ends.

To finish the kernel talk... And then there is kernel or zImage uou cant bust into that. You have to have the sourcr, or create it lol, and compile the source with a google or linaro toolchain, or your own you made. Then if uou want to share your kernel you learn git. And now I just build kernels when I het board and mess with git pushing and pulling its fun.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] O2mini_noob:
Hi folks, I'm new to this forum so want to firstly say "Hello" and "Happy New Year" :-)

Some comments regarding the mini:

(1) I purchased it a week before Christmas 2005. It had the latest Radio 1.13 and ROM 1.13 but after I did a hard reset and install only certain CABs from the EXTROM, I noticed on every soft reset, my Radio and ROM is now ver 1.12?

Very strange..I did a hard reset again and allow it to be the factory settings but my ROM and Radio still showed 1.12. I can confirmed that I had the version 1.13 when I got it because I showed it to my friends as the O2 website only had ver 1.11 listed. Anyone has any ideas as to how this could have occured?

(2) I won't be using BIG STORAGE yet as it will definitely void my mini warranty. I'll be stuck with a useless expensive device should something goes wrong with the upgrade (it can happen!).

(3) I have pretty much added the fixes like notification, camera, new bluetooth stack, etc found on this forum and many thanks to those members who kindly made them for us.

(4) I love my mini, the speed is amazing! I left around 15Mb free RAM for programs and have no issues with running apps...I don't do much multitasking. Again thank you to all in this forum for wonderful tips on utilising and freeing up memory.

(5) Another thing I couldn't figure out is everytime after a soft reset, when I click on the Start Menu, it takes 6-8 seconds to show me the menu. I understand that due to the today plugins etc. etc. the cpu runs certain programs on startup and pretty much anything you try to run will be a bit slow at the beginning. BUT this issue occurs even after a wait of 1 hour after a soft reset.

It happens only the FIRST time when you click on the start menu after a soft reset. Every other time after it, accessing the Start Menu is instantaneously.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
Somehow this doesn't sound very likely it's all in rom, pls check your device info. You can always upgrade to the 1.13 versions.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aumeehn:
In this tutorial you will learn to restore

your IMEI in case that you have lost it

when flashing your STOCK ROM or

CUSTOM ROM.

Required:

Root Access on your Phone

MTK Droid Root and Tools v2.4.8

[ ]

Your IMEI [you can get this at the

back of your phone it is a 15 Digits

Number]

Android ADB Driver – Depends on

what phone you are using , but for

most cases this Universal Driver

Works fine [ ]

Open the self-extracting archive of the

MTK Droid ROOT and Tools and open

the MTKdroidTools.exe be sure to run it as

an Administrator, plug in your phone and

be sure you have already root your phone

and have installed the Driver for your

phone, if not do that first before

proceeding on the next step.

Once you have open the MTK Droid Root

and Tools it must detect the information of

your Device

Once it has detected your phone

information you will notice Your IMEI will

show there but if you have error it will not

show there and we will use this tool to

restore it.

Next you need to click the ROOT button so

that it will temporary have Root shell

access on your phone in order for it to

make the script work on the background.

it will prompt this window to gain root

shell access

and then once you have the root shell

access click the IMEI/NVRAM button and

this window will show

now all you need to do is put your 15

Digits IMEI Number that you can get at the

back of your phone inside not the back

cover if you have 2 IMEI you need to

put that.

also in case you want to backup your IMEI

you do it also here after restoring it,

Usually you do this first before you flash

any custom roms just to be safe always

and then Press the REPLACE IMEI button

and it will prompt you this window that it

will replace your existing one

after that just reboot your phone and your

IMEI is back after the reboot , and be sure

to backup your IMEI now before doing

anything else

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] fgsdfs:
Has anyone tried it or got it working on the One?

I tried to enable ART on the GE 4.4 (v0.1 and 0.2), and cm 11 roms, waiting unsuccessfully about 30 minutes each time for it to boot.

But it seems like its not dependent on the rom, right? Should I just wait longer?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] the.emilio:
It works on the CM11 builds but you need to flash the gapps linked in the OP for the CM11 build.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] TriBeard:
It only works on the CM11 build for now. I'm running it fine. There are still some minor to moderate issues with the rom itself, but they don't seem to be dependent on which runtime is in use, and are relatively minor for how new kit kat and these ROMs are.

So, I am new to Android, just switched after having every single iPhone variant, and finally got fed up with Apple. I currently have the Galaxy Note 3 for AT&T. Its an awesome phone but I am having issues with Hangouts. I cant seem to send or receive MMS's without the app crashing on me. I have downloaded the update thru Google Play and it doesnt even give me the SMS options. Downloaded the actual APK and it seemed to work fine, until MMS got involved. I am about ready to throw this phone out of my 19th story window. I hate the Samsung stock msg app. It never seems to want to download any MMS's

PLEASE HELP ME

I would hate to switch back to an iPhone just because of these msging issues.

[Nexus 5 General] danv28:
I got my Nexus 5 last Thursday, thought it was perfect, and have lately been hearing a creaking sound coming from the back cover.

I notice the sound in a quiet environment such as my room, and it's when you apply pressure to the back of the phone where the panel dips to meet with the sides. Press along there, and post in the poll, or reply to this thread, if your device has a creaking sound. I'm trying to find out if all Nexus 5's are like this, or if I should exchange it. Press along the ridge where the back panel dips down.

Thanks.

My biggest thing is does the phone creak when you make calls, play games, browse the internet, play music, take pics, etc or does it creak when you purposely squeeze it?

Why would you purposely squeeze it? Are you trying to give it a hug because deep inside you love it so much? If this phone creaks I have not noticed it even after squeezing it. Secondly there's no reason to squeeze the phone. IT'S A PHONE not a Teddy Bear!

Thank you for alerting us to this problem! I too thought I had a perfect phone until happening upon your urgent topic. So far I have not been able to find this creak of which you write - but I worry that maybe I'm not doing it right and that my phone, unknown to me, is imperfect after all. Please advise just how hard I must press to be certain that my phone is flawlessly creak-free. How did you apply the pressure, are fingers enough or should I be using some tool to be more probing and accurate? Please keep in mind that as much as I want to know I'm creakless, I really don't want to break the screen to find out. (If the screen does break though do you think Google will still cover that under warranty since it would be due to the creak which itself would be a manufacturing flaw?)

Next thing you'll hear them complain about is that the Nexus 5 screen isn't durable. Its a bit ridiculous. Smh

Ok here's my analogy, the Black N5 back is soft touch plastic right but the White N5 back is Polycarbonate therefore it doens't take a rocket scientist to work this out... Polycarbonate are tad stiffer then soft touch plastic thats why it may not flex as much as the soft touch plastic when pressure is applied unless you have bionic ears, even stiff polycarbonate will creak ever so slightly...

Hope it makes Mr danv28 feels better. Don't worry too much about it.

PS: you should see how the S4 back panel flex under pressure, really glad I got the N5 :victory:
[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
That is a great analogy but to be honest my back is sturdy and I have the "black" version. Maybe there are users with a softer back than mine but there's no way possible to use this phone as it was intended and hear a creak coming from the back.

Allow me to succinctly answer your question instead of being incredibly rude like many of the people in this thread...

Yes, a lot of Nexus 5s are like this. It's not really something you should worry about, but after paying $350-$400 (not including tax) it is perfectly understandable for you to be concerned about. I would not bother exchanging it as you are likely to get used to it over time.

Hi Guys (and Gals),

I'm sooooo tired. I have a couple of Sprint D700 phones that I am trying to customize and I'm stuck. I've been reading forums and Googling for hours over several days and weeks and I just can't seem to get to the next step. FYI, I'm a software developer by trade, so I'm frustrated that I cannot figure this out.

I'm trying this on a guinea pig phone first (not currently active on an account). So, it has all of the latest Sprint upgrades. Then, I did a factory reset. I was able to gain root access using Framaroot 1.6.1. Then, I downloaded Root Explorer, Terminal Emulator and ROM Manager.

I want to experiment with some Custom ROMs, but everything I do so far is blocked by the existing stock recovery (3e?). From what I've read, I need CWM 5.0.2.7. So, I tried to load that version of CWM via ROM Manager. However, it will not boot to CWM - it keeps going into stock.

Then, I recently read something that the Samsung phones need an updated Kernel in order for the CWM install to work? And if I understand correctly, the only way to do that is via ODIN (which I've also downloaded on my PC)? Or is there a version of recovery manager that has a digital signature that will pass the check by the stock recovery and let it install?

I've tried to find some versions of Kernels and really don't know what to try - a lot of the download links are dead.

I want to hang on to these phones a little longer because I like the size and the qwerty keyboard, so I've refused to give up so far.

I realize that the answers are somewhere in these threads, but I am having trouble sifting through information that is sometimes outdated or has dead links to files. Please help - what do I need to do next?

Thanks so much!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianN_Cols_OH:
Making progress but still confused...?

OK, I have just tried to ODIN a new Kernel. I tried Shadow Kernel v2.0. Everything appeared to work properly in ODIN. However, when I reboot, the phone still goes into the old recovery (not CWM). When I look in the settings, the Baseband and Hardware versions both say "Unknown".

My current build is GINGERBREAD.FC09, Firmware 2.3.6.

What Kernel do I need to flash?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianN_Cols_OH:
Success - Finally got CWM - Ready to play with ROMs

OK, I finally got to where I needed to be. I'm not sure if I'd ODIN'd incorrectly or what. However, I did a factory reset from the stock recovery. Then, I tried ODIN with Shadow again. This time I did it with ODIN 3.07 instead of 3.09. I don't know if I did something wrong with the 3.09 version - the button names were abbreviated - maybe I hit the wrong selection for "PDA".

This time it booted right into CWM 5.0.2.7. Geez, I'm supposed to be smarter than this.

If anyone is starting this fresh and has this phone with all of the latest OTA updates (no root - stock everything), then I think this is the path to take. For those of you that have read my rantings, thank you for your time. Any comments (including humor at my expense) will be joyfully appreciated.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Steps to Root FC09

Odin v3.09 doesn't work that well with the D700, as that version no longer has the "PDA" field. Version 3.07 and lower work fine.

Flashing a kernel will not also flash a recovery; unless the kernel dev packaged CWM or TWRP in his zip file. The kernel thread will state if it comes packaged with a recovery.

Typically, all custom roms for the Epic are pre-rooted. So you would only have to download Superuser or SuperSU from the Play store to keep it updated.
