[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flightttt:
So here's what I ask all of those reading. What is the closest possible equivalent to the 5.0-5.5 sense camera found on our device on aosp. I know that it's technically the same but to me the colors look better on sense, and there's less "loudness" on the pictures. I also understand that porting will absolutely not work due to different frameworks. I love aosp for it's feel but sense for the camera and ir capability and also since my girlfriend loves to take pictures with my phone, and with several roms on the original android dev thread the cameras show up wide and do not produce good photos. In all can someone point me towards a sort of "sense on aosp" camera, any help would be much appreciated.

What happens if you switch the batterys between your phone? If you already did a full wipe between roms, it looks more like a hardware failure.

I'm not sure what that code means, but rebooting is common among faulty batterys.

I haven't done a full wipe reinstall yet, I will test the battery out tonight and see how it gets on

ok i dont want this to look like the typical stolen phone wanting a new imei to get around !

right here i have 1x t-mobile galaxy s3 , working condition, bought with a bad imei he cancled through t-mobile.

and then i have a t-mobile galaxy s3 wiith a completely destroyed digitizer/screen.

if anybody knows a way i could get around this let me know ,ive been searching but maybe somebody has some good links

Why do an IMEI swap? Just swap the mainboard and you're good to go. I'm guessing if you knew enough to at least ask about IMEI-swapping, you know a bit more about disassembling. That which iFixit gave a very modest rating of 8
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gottapaybills9640:
hey thats a good idea! i thought of this already , but! my galaxy s3 that has a good imei motherboard is shot with the "Sudden death syndrome" which is common. i beleive this problem is in the motherboard, so if i swapped it id be swapping in a shot motherboard, but it has a good imei, if not,ill go ahead and swap it so let me know . thank you

update: i tried the motherboard swap, and the sudden death syndrome follows, so i need to use my imei thats on my SDS'd motherboard. thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
the ptoblem here is that even though you bought the phone and did nothing wrong, it is still considered stolen property.

as for sds, can you be more specific? sudden death was specific to the original firmware for the I9300. even if it exhibts simikar symptoms, its not really sds as its not sn isdue plaguing our devices like it did for them.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gottapaybills9640:
i know what you mean, but its really not stolen property its is mine, i paid full price for this phone but t-mobile wont help me because my account is in bad standing.

i read that is is legal to clone/swap the imei on two phones that belong solely you to.

i know theres gotta be a way!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gottapaybills9640:
otherwords i know its not a legal option to tamper with your imei alone, but i beleive this should be a legal action since i own both phones, if someone can help i can send a tag'd pic of both of them too to prove their mine, please help me thank you
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
before this goes further, please understand that this thread is probably already violating xda rules. discussion about cloning devices is not allowed. i too hsve seen claims that what you wsnt to do is legal, but no one has ever been able to provide me definitive proof of this, so it is nothing more than a guess.

in your op you said you bought a blacklisted device from someone who stopped paying. this makes it stolen property, whether you paid full price or not. If someone stopped making their car payments, then sold that car to you, would it not still be considered stolen, and you forced to return it to the rightful owner?

Or say someone stole your TV, or whatever you want as an example, then sold it to someone. is that buyer the new legitimate owner? or are you?

dont take offense to any of this. im not against you at all. but i just wanted to explain why you cant discuss this here, and why you will be very hard pressed to find soneone willing to risk helping you.

even if device cloning is legal as you want to believe, it likely would not be in this specific case because the phone would still be considered stolen property.

i am sorry to have to give an unwanted answer, and i do understand where youre coming from, but i dont think there is any information here that will help you. Sorry...

I have 2.5 version and using jelly beans build 20. (Rooted and flashed a year ago with occasional updates.)

Im reading about glitches with 2.6. Should I update my TWRP or not?

And if I do, how without goomanager working? I got the download on the mirror site. But how EXACTLY do I flash it?

Can I select "flash ROM" in goomanager or somehow in TWRP itself?

I understand there is a way with terminal manager but when I read the commands, I want to see quotes on what to type.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snapcrackpop:
Is this the question and troubleshooting forum?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcollier:
I just download the new TWRP zip, reboot, and install zip from the old version of TWRP. Then reboot and it will be the new version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snapcrackpop:
Thank you for replying.

But I'm a little unsure of the DETAILS of that procedure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcollier:
So, instead of doing a little research, you want a step by step? Here you go:

1. Go here and download the latest zip file --> http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/t0ltevzw

(openrecovery-twrp=2.6.3.0-t0ltevzw.zip

2. Reboot your phone into TWRP recovery (power button, reboot recovery)

3.Click on Install

4. Find your file from open(saved to downloads or where ever)

5. Swipe to confirm flash

6. When it is done, click on Reboot System

7. It will reboot into TWRP and you will be on the latest version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snapcrackpop:
I did step one.

I did several searches on "how to update twrp" and other variations of that search, but invariably they just say "flash it" or "use goomanager". Hell, even twrp.com even says flash it. I could not find step by step directions for flashing a recovery.

Thank you.

I have flashed beans updates with goomanager but screwing up "recovery" makes me nervous!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
the easiest way is to go into goo manager. press your phone settings button, and then press install openrecoveryscript. goo manager does the rest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snapcrackpop:
This didn't help my confidence: (from the other twrp thread)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snapcrackpop:
Ah... no.

Goomanager downloads dont hardly work anymore. Sits forever on the download screen. Something about to many people downloading on slow connections.

I do not get any signal with my Vodafone and O2 cards

I already tried the modem.img mentioned in this thread:

but that did not work

I installed the ROM on a Cynus T2, everything is working fine except that I do not get signals

[Micromax A110] konfuzius4u:
I made it a little bit different.

I did take the modem.img provided in the 4.2.1 LegoIce Q&A thread and replaced with rootexplorer the one unter /system/etc/firmware and corrected the permissions. After a reboot I did then get the signals.
[Micromax A110] mrtaim3:
So your problem is solved now :)
[Micromax A110] konfuzius4u:
well I thought that I had solved it, but it was not.

I only had some weak WCDMA signals at home this morning, so I got some SMS and today during the day in the office and in the car good WCDMA signals.

Therefore I did not notice that is was not working.

But back home I still have no GSM signals (there is no WSDMA for "Vodafone D2" and "O2" in the small town where I live, just GSM900 (D2) and GSM1800 (O2).

I also made a flashable zip and flashed it, but still the same.

Perhaps I do not have the correct modem.img for 4.2.2 for Germany.

Does anyone have the correct file for me?

I also tried the modem.img from the original mobistel cynus T2 V17.01 that I still have on my laptop, but when I flashed it the phone told me that SIM1 and SIM2 were missing and it showed no IMEI.

So I flashed again the modem.img from the other thread where the SIM are found again and have IMEI, but still no GSM signals.

SIM1 only does see another WDCMA network (Eplus) which I am not allowed to use.

So if someone could help me I would really appreciate it.
[Micromax A110] konfuzius4u:
I flashed it again and now it is working.

So case is closed. :)

Wiko cink king - french clone

hi guys

Just wanna let you know i'm facing quiet the same problem here with some roms :

Im on the french clone of the micromax 110 called Wiko Cink King (wich is more like cynus T2). Im in Belgium and the problem can be described like this :

I get signal without any problem but the thing is when i pick up the phone, nobody can hear me and i dont hear anything too.

the problem appeared on : legoIce V2 / cangalaxy S4 v3 /dark nexus 4.2.2 and all the 4.2.X roms i guess.

I could make it work on the cangalaxy S4 v3 by adding boot.img from the dev it self.

I dont think it has something to do with modem.img. ive already changed it with a patch provided by some french dev's but im still having the problem. I also had unstability with sms not coming or coming very lately.

The poeple in France don't have the problem.

Listening to music works well. its only when i pick up the phone, on call speaker delivers no sound either.

does somebody has any suggestion or already faced the same problem ?

It's related to boot.img i think.

how does that file works ? whats in there ?

thank you for your help !
[Windows RT General] Deusdies:
I've been thinking of getting a tablet and I've been eyeing the Windows 8 tablets. Honestly, I like Android, but all of their tablets disappoint (I don't want a Nexus tablet or an iPad for that matter).

I keep hearing that RT marketplace is very small, that there are only "a few apps", etc. Is this true? I am not a heavy app user, plus I'll always have my phone (LG G2 btw, and it's amazing).

I use W8 on my desktop and I like it - but that's obviously the "full" version. I would also like to ask for a tablet recommendation (Nokia 2520 looks FANTASTIC by the way). I don't want to give more than $500 for a tablet, so then generally RT tablets come to mind. My only other requirement is at least a full HD screen. What would you suggest?
[Windows RT General] Fasin:
Well if its for your criteria of a full Desktop you are right - you can't do this with Windows RT, thus with no RT tablet. But as im using my Surface as a thin client, remoting my home pc or my server for all the stuff i can't do on my tablet it's quite wonderful. And the Windows Store has been incresing ever since, last week i reset me tablet and did some serious store browsing to get up to date with available apps and i probably couldn't find anthing that's not there - development environment and compilers excluded of course. But as far as i can see - not knowing your area of expertise - there is everything you would need to get a basic start, though some apps will cost a dollar/euro or two. Whatsmore, there is the 8.0 jailbreak, if you are willing not to go to 8.1 yet (don't know if the surface 2 gets delivered with 8.1 and you would need to downgrade) - in this case there are already a lot of ported desktop apps available.

Jailbreak and ported apps can be found here:

Jailbreak

Ported Desktop Apps

As for the Nokia 2520, it definitely looks good! Haven't actually seen this one come up, looks promising.

To sum it up: if what you like is the new Modern UI interface you can definitely go with an RT tablet for there are plenty of apps available. For the desktop that's a whole other story, as I've described (jailbreak/ported apps) - if you are willing to compromise, you will get another added benefit from this cool piece of hard- and software.

The decision which RT tablet to use should be yours i guess, there are quite a few out there, but in a matter of usability I deem them all to work the same.

Greetings,

Fasin
[Windows RT General] Deusdies:
Thank you both very much. Very well thought out responses. I was debating between getting the Dell Venue 11 Pro (full Windows 8) or the Nokia 2520 being as that they're the same price, but I have honestly been convinced to get the RT version.

Oh. My. Gott.

I had no idea that this even existed. I think this is pretty much what settles it - I'm definitely getting an RT. Notepad++? Python? 7-zip? Amazing! Vielen dank!

You're right, that truly is an odd restriction. Perhaps they just want people to use Windows Store more and more? But from this thread it seems that Jailbreak "fixes" a lot of issues - and I didn't even know this existed until now (admittedly I wasn't into the Windows 8 on mobile devices a whole lot until now).

Yep, I think my only pseudo-concern is now gone. Thank you again both, and Nokia 2520 - here I come!
[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Well, the jailbreak isnt out for 8.1 and is still more limited than the bay trail in the venue 11. But its one of those things that can only go uphill from here.

My personal choice would be the venue. But thats me, not you. I do a fair bit of programming and use alot of software that just plain isnt available on RT. And I think thats the point, different devices suit different people in different ways.
[Windows RT General] LolitaPlus:
BestBuy will have Surface RT for $200 in Black Friday. I'd like to buy one since it is such cheap and I can play with some ARM Win32 programs.
[Windows RT General] Deusdies:
I do quite a bit of programming myself (both personally and for my work), but I can never picture myself programming on a tablet (or even a tablet/keyboard combo). That's just not what I'm getting the tablet for.

I've just read Engadget's review of Nokia 2520, which is overall positive. But I thought it would be much better than the Surface 2, and apparently (according to their review), it isn't. In fact, I thought it will have a better battery life, while in fact it has worse.

As a student I also get a 10% discount on Surface only, and I have a $25 Microsoft Store gift card that I got eons ago, so that brings the total cost for a Surface 2 down to ~$370, which is phenomenal.

It's still in between Nokia 2520 and Surface 2...
[Windows RT General] ThorburnJ:
To be honest even a laptop is less than ideal - if you're used to working on a multi-monitor desktop setup then a laptop will feel restrictive.
[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
I do program on a laptop with a 14" 1366*768 display. I have used much higher resolution displays though and it is certainly alot better.
[Windows RT General] Deusdies:
Yep... I do all of my programming on a desktop. At work 3 monitors, at home 1, but 27". So, yes, tablet is just for movies, some games, etc.

It is possible to emulate some x86 programs on RT's ARM processor, however often it will be slow. Most desired programs won't run through emulation (including utorrent, VLC, Steam, etc)

Doesn't Microsoft forbid metro apps from having native binaries?

If so, how would you ever write something like a wii emulator on today's hardware? It would be way too slow. Perhaps two decades from now?
[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
No...

Many "metro" apps are normal C/C++ compiled natively for the processor itself.
[Windows RT General] Rakeesh_j:
Oh. Then what was with MS's comments that they deliberately wanted to make metro apps limited? They can't just mean in terms of being sandboxed? You can still sandbox without sacrificing utility; Android does that quite well.

[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Kindly point out something an android app can do which a windows app cannot (there are some, I personally wanted to use a certain feature but until 8.1 could not, yeah 8.1 added loads more features)

Apps requiring root do not count as root is a device modification much the same way modified RT devices can do more.
[Windows RT General] Rakeesh_j:
Honestly I don't know as I've never published any apps and I've only done very small scale development for my own uses. I'm just going by MS's commentary on where they think they went wrong with their 8 strategy, in which they indicate that they believe making apps limited in scope wasn't a mistake (effectively they believe that their marketing was the reason for RT's failure, and that it will be easier to market 2 OSes instead of 3.)

I do know however that you see some pretty complex applications on Android whereas I haven't seen anything on RT hasn't already been done better in a web browser. In fact, I've seen web browsers do things that RT will not, take for example that version of battlefield which runs in Firefox and Chrome (RT could technically do that, granted.) The most complicated emulator available for RT is for snes, which also can be done in FF and Chrome: http://www.b81.org/~tjw/smw/

I don't really see it that way. Just issue an 'oem unlock' command to the device and you're golden. RT devices however by design forbid doing anything like that.

That said, the ultimate limitation in RT comes from this: RT won't run any app unless MS explicitly greenlights it. A lot of the more interesting apps (to me anyways) are ones that companies like MS and in some circumstances even Google wish didn't exist at all, like ad blockers, being able to tether without carrier permission, etc. Even so, not all of these require root and there's nothing stopping you from using them on Android.
[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Then if you don't know, then why are you claiming it to be so poor in comparison to android? What apps *are available* doesnt dictate what apps the system is capable of.

In 8.0 the biggest issues were lack of low level interfaces to peripherals and instead being limited to high level wrappers provided by WinRT. In 8.1 there are now WinRT wrapper classes to raw USB and bluetooth, both of which were absent in 8.0. Besides that, there isn't any OpenGL, but there is DirectX which android doesnt have and serves the same purpose.

WIndows 8 apps are perfectly capable of hosting a first person shooter such as battlefield, there is a massive difference between it being incapable and simply not been done (actually there are FPS games, but they are more inline with the crap you see on android).

Your battlefield example is entirely bull**** either way as you seemed to be arguing for android whereas android doesnt have battlefield either.

Even if microsoft ditched windows RT, the store is part of windows 8. It would still be present. Windows RT is just an ARM port of windows 8. WinRT is the so called "sandbox" store apps run in and is present on both operating systems.
[Windows RT General] Rakeesh_j:
Two things:

Comments I've heard from developers

And most importantly, Microsoft's own comments

That later bit is more of a reason to not want RT. Virtually every platform out there uses OpenGL. The number of devices that use directx exclusively make up such a small percentage of the marketplace that it almost may as well not even exist. Android wouldn't gain anything at all by having it (really, no developer out there has ever said "I'd port to Android if only it supported directx,") and it really hurts that RT/WP don't have it. For this reason, any developer who says that they'll only use DirectX is shooting themselves in the foot. Microsoft is doing exactly that - too many games developers said they probably wouldn't ever bother porting anything to RT/WP because they don't want to spend all of the money on porting because the revenue gained is almost guaranteed to not be worth it. Sure, some game engines now support it, but that doesn't solve the problem of backporting their own customizations and additions to the base engine.

That's probably because you missed the point entirely. It has nothing to do with whether or not battlefield is an FPS. The point is that I've seen web browsers do more impressive things than RT apps. Battlefield is merely an example of why even Chrome is more valuable to me than RT.

You aren't telling me anything new here. Microsoft has done something similar more than once and we've already seen the results: It'll just go derelict and then eventually deprecated but still kept around.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if MS created an app store for win32 apps similar to what apple is doing with OSX. Their current store model is just a flat out knockoff of the ios app model (contrast to the play store model where each publisher is at their own discretion, and some people still wonder why android/play is by far more popular than the rest) so they may as well go all the way with it.
