[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RABanks:
I'm trying to root my Unlocked T-Mobile G1 via Kingroot. I followed the procedure step by step. (I mean, c'mon, how hard is it to use this program, really?) Obviously I'm very new to most of this, but I have done my research on Rooting! I know the Pro's and Con's, I know there are multiple ways to do this ( Some requiring a bit of know-how with the computer language) and I figure this way is the easiest ((for me)).

Here is my issue.

I downloaded all the drivers. I turned on Android USB Debugging. I've mounted the SD card. I plugged it all in, and got the page with the lovely, red "ROOT" button. I pushed it. I pulls the scripts, it checks the connection, it begins the process. My device goes black very briefly then appears all of these lovely colors (Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue, Green, White) It displays the model number, manufacturer date, phone model, phone company it was sold to, etc. And it sits. The program reads "Waiting for Device." for about 2 or 3 minutes, then it says "Root Unsuccessful! WaitForDeviceTimeOut!" I checked and re-checked the list of compatible devices, and mine is on there. (Though it is called an HTC DREAM instead of T-Mobile G1 but I doubt that truly matters.) I then disconnect the phone, pull the battery, turn it back on, it's fine. I've tried this several times to no avail. I'm not using the original USB cord, but my computer and the program reads it, It stays connected. It charges.

Am I missing a step?? Doing something wrong?? Is there another, newbie proof way I can root this phone?? I figured this was the simplest, without having to manually hack into my phone and type commands into it. I've googled and googled and googled this problem, with no result. Kingoroot seems to be rather new, and though I messaged the support team, I've yet to hear anything back.

Any suggestions would be helpful. Sorry if this is a stupid post.

Thank you!

Rooting the g1 by the "old" method is very simple and I'd be happy to walk you through it, but feel free to use any of the one click apps, most of those came about after I learned things on my own and since that time I've always been against do-it-for-me-tools of any kind as there is no knowledge to be gained

Let me know if you need a hand with the old school way otherwise search out one of the many other one-click-root options for the dream (same thing as g1)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giston141:
Hi I read in a post on here that the camera on our device is magnetic and can have attachments. Can anyone link me to where I can find these? I haven't been able to find them. And are they worth it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieljordanmaddux:
The lens is magnetic. But not intended for the magnetic add on lenses. I have the photojojo lenses and the magnetic attraction to the N5 camera is very weak at best. Although, they fit perfectly, but they also affect the cameras ability to focus dramatically. If you use the metal rings included they stick on very strong, but then the adhesive on the metal rings doesn't stick well to the glass over the Camera sensor.

EDIT: Should add that when you use the metal rings included, the phone is able to focus almost as good as it normally would.

Hi

I have succeeded done the bigstorage using WWE_1.12.00 ROM. Thanks for the posters. However I noticed the Clear Vue for PDF is missing. Word and Excell exists. Where can I find this application?

Thanks
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
Word & Excel are part of the OS rom. ClearVue PDF & PPT where coming on the CD I got from TMO. So check your package pls, can be that it's on the ftp as well. Otherwise gimme a signal & it will be there ...

Regards, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] xda2mid:
Thanks oltp,

Just check the cd, it only have activesync and outlook 2002.

I guess the ClearVue is also in the old ROM (1.11.00WWE) or in one of the extended ROM Cabs. . Do you have any idea which CAB or can I rip it from the old ROM if its there?

I use one of the available BigStorage ROM (1.12.00) to upgrade from the ftp

Thanks
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
You can try bal666 tool to rip it from an ext-rom, easier method is to use wince cab manager. You can take a look inside each cab file from your original ext-rom. You did save it, didn't you?

Sadly I don't know by hard which cab file to look for, somehow I keep forgetting these things. & i'm posting with my magician, so can't check on the PC at the moment. Will look for you as soon as I'm able to.

Cheers, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] xda2mid:
Found it in CV2.41.386WWE.CAB in the original extended ROM.

oh my.. :oops:

thanks! :D
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Artosoft:

@xda2mid

No problem

@artosoft

ClearVue is free, or at least it came with my magician. Is Adobe 4PPC free to? & is it useful a pdf is hard to view on a PPC.

Regards, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] joehorn:
ClearVue is NOT free. If you don't get it together whith your device, you will have to pay for it.

The Adobe Readers for PPC are free! You can download them from Adobes home page. But the Adobe Reader for Pocket PC 2.0 needs at least round about 8MB, thats much more than ClearVue demands. But ist from Adobe, that means it can handle right all pdf documents, ClearVue fails sometimes if the documents are to complex.

Is it useful?

If you like to view pdfs on your PPC - Yes!

A pdf is hard to view on a PPC?

That depends on the document. The Adobe Reader for Pocket PC 2.0 offers a special reflow mode which is similar to the standard layout mode of the Pocket PC Internet Explorer. But reflow works only whith tagged documents. Untagged documents can be convertet to tagged ones when tranfering them via ActiveSync from Pc to PPC, but it depends on the document, whether the automatic generation of the additional tag table is usefull or failed at all. The best are documents which are createt as tagged ones by the writer. But so far only few writer remenber the people who like to read the files on a PPC...

Untagged documents are hard to view on a PPC also with the Adobe Reader you will have to scroll around a lot (except the are specially made for small displays).

regards,

joe
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
Joe,

thnx i'll think about it. 8MB is not a limitation on my SD, but then it will load slow...& I'm not reading that much pdf's.

cheers, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] vijay555:
Offtopic, but have you guys tried Repligo? If I MUST have a document that was originally PDF, I use Repligo to shrink it down. It loads quickly and perfectly on the PDA and isn't a memory hog like Adobe.

I think the viewer is free, the converter is not, but very useful.

V
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] joehorn:
I have it installed on my SD and it's loading slow ... but not slower than the latest PC version! Yes, you will have to wait a few seconds, but when your PC loads it for the first time (after booting) you will have to wait for several seconds too!

Repligo?

If you like to convert everything...

I mean PDF is already a compact file format and I prefer to read documents as they are without the need to convert them before.

[G2 Themes and Apps] Heatshiver:
[GUIDE][MOD] Theme your "Tap to add widgets" Area through Text, Image, and Function

THIS GUIDE ASSUMES YOU KNOW HOW TO DECOMPILE AND RECOMPILE APKs.

This is a very simple mod that will help you change the text "Tap to add widgets", the default "plus" image that is tapped in order to add widgets, and turn off its function (if desired), on the LG G2.

General Instructions

1) Take the LGLockScreen.apk from your stock ROM.

2) Decompile the APK into a folder and call it something like LGLockScreen.

Instructions -

Change Text

3) Go to LGLockScreen>res>Values>strings.xml

4) Look for:

<string name="keyguard_tap_to_add_widget_NORMAL">Tap to add widgets</string>

5) Replace "Tap to add widgets" with the writing you want people to see on the lock screen.

6) Recompile the APK.

Instructions -

Change "Plus" Image

NOTE: There is no need to decompile the APK if only performing this mod. Just use 7z or Winrar to replace the files.

3) Create a PNG image that you wish to use in two sizes: 234x305 & 70x91

4) Make three copies of each size and name one of each size the following:

lockscreen_widget_add_disable

lockscreen_widget_add_normal

lockscreen_widget_add_pressed

5) Go to LGLockScreen>res>drawable

6) Place the three 70x91 images into the drawable folder overwriting the existing images.

7) Go to LGLockScreen>res>drawable-xxhdpi

8) Place the three 234x305 images into the drawable folder overwriting the existing images.

9) Recompile the APK.

Instructions -

Turn Off Function to Add Widget

3) Go to LGLockScreen>res>Values>ids.xml

4) Look for:

<item type="id" name="keyguard_add_widget">false</item>
<item type="id" name="keyguard_add_widget_view">false</item>
<item type="id" name="keyguard_add_widget_guide_text">false</item>

5) Change to:

<item type="id" name="keyguard_add_widget">true</item>
<item type="id" name="keyguard_add_widget_view">true</item>
<item type="id" name="keyguard_add_widget_guide_text">true</item>

6) Recompile the APK.

Enjoy!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jujuburi:
Hi, I have a Sony Bravia W6 42" and I was thinking that if I buy a MHL cable for the S4, then I will be able to connect the phone to the TV and will be able to watch movies in full screen, those 1920x800 resolution ones which are normally can't watch in full screen, without those disgusting black bars!

My question is, what about quality? Will the picture quality degrade if I watch via MHL, than watching through a PHD or a Pen drive?

If someone has already experience in this matter kindly input here.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jujuburi:
No one? I really need to know this.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] milkit18:
Interested as well
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Daistaar:
I've used MHL on my S4 and my LG3DTV so I'll leave my first impressions. I'll try it again tonight to just be absolutely concrete but here's my immediate thougths.

1.) You need to make sure your MHL adapter supports the S4. There are some 5 pin ones and 11 pin ones. I have the Samsung adapter so I'm fine but make sure you get the right one.

2.) The black bars are part of the aspect ratio. Our screen is 16:9 so if your movie is 16:9 it'll fill the whole screen. Some movies use wider aspect ratios so you'll get the black bars on the top and bottom. I'll check tonight if you get the bars outputting to TV. I can't remember that.

3.) I believe there is some overscan (rather underscan) when outputting via MHL. It seems like I had a black border all the way around when I played a few games on my TV with MHL and a bluetooth controller (which is awesome by the way). Some HD games did fill the screen and was a pretty decent experience (NFSMW, A8, MC4, Osmos).

Again I'll test these out tonight and post some pics with my other phone so you can see for yourself before buying anything. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jujuburi:
Ah finally someone replied. If I buy I will buy the original S4 MHL, that's not a worrying factor. But as you said, there's some under/over processing, hmm, that's what I was wondering! I mean if you clearly see picture quality degradation while playing via MHL in comparison to USB devices (PHD or Pen drive) then I will certainly not be interested, I will take black bars happily over a poorer picture.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] JustSueMe:
picture seems to show nicely providing the res is HD (1920x1080) otherwise some pixelation (as TV and Phone is Full hd)

i get some lag when tapping the screen and overlay to pause skip video appears but when the overlay minimizes video starts again at normal speed.

sound works fine.

if phone is in portrait mode then ull have black on either side on tv .

ratio for tv 16:9 16:10 is fine
[HTC Amaze 4G] koolman1993:
Anybody knows or anybody working on a Sense 5 rom currently?
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
I think superAfnan and ChevyCowboy are working on sense 5 theming...

Not on sense 5 due to processor problem.. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Yep

I'll make a Sense 5 ROM, or port one, once we get a 3.4 kernel from [MENTION=5115117]ravike14[/MENTION]. :):good:

Shouldn't be too long since SebastianFM is helping him.

The reason why we can't get one right now is because we need a kernel, or it won't boot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
I've got the port ready, just waiting for the kernel...

There is progress, but nothing ready for release yet.
[HTC Amaze 4G] omareziz:
hey afnan you can also work on JB with sense 4.1 that would be awesome too wont it?
[HTC Amaze 4G] koolman1993:
That's great news :good:

hope it comes out stable :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
There will be a flood of sense roms of all kinds once the kernel is ready.

Right now it's having major rebooting issues.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
Is it have a good battery life as stock?

Because now for me battery life is main headache ..

It must be have good battery....

That's my point of view...:rolleyes::rolleyes::)
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
More information

Yes of course, that's what we're planning on doing. ;)

It should be perfectly stable depending on the kernel. What we really need is the Bluetooth drivers from TI (Texas Instruments) but they're proprietary unfortunately, plus HTC and TI don't care about us so they won't release their CODE. :(

+1. Get ready for a tsunami of ROMS. lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] acquahdd:
stock jb or aosp jb
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Afnan and I are working on the sense roms. Jeepers pretty much has the corner of the market for aosp.

If you're meaning stock as sense, that's what we will be and are Woking on.

[HTC Amaze 4G] raymondllr:
I care more about the progress of 3.4 kernel. What about that?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Well, the kernel is in work. Ravike14 has a lot of work to do.

Must of the things that need to be done have to be written from scratch.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
I have just watched the video....

I wondered that without kernel how you get it to boot.

If it is booting then why not being published?

I know this is dumb question but really don't know what happening behind the schene.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Lol watch the video closely
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
Yes I have seen it.

It is one s but why it's tagged as amaze?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
A lil bit more closely, pause and read everything in the settings category lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
The kernal was 3.4 with ravike14 tag and phone was htc one s..

So??
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Surely you're joking!

No I'm not joking. And don't call me surely.

Whaaaaaaaaat?

Wow. Just wow.

Ravike14 is working on the kernel.

I have a test build of it.

It's not ready for release.

There's no way you can take this kernel and release it to the public right now.

You wouldn't want to buy a car that kind of runs and the salesman says we'll fix it later. You're missing a big chunk of your engine!

I made the video and posted it so that we could keep hope alive for a dying device.

I have tried to help you best I can, but I strongly feel that you have a lot to learn before you post any more roms.

If you can't grasp the basic concept that you can't boot a Rom without having a boot.img designed specifically for your device, and that most of the info that shows up in the /settings/about/software are all editable, then well, you have some learning to do.

I can make it say anything I want.

You have much to learn grasshopper, and when you can take the pebble from my hand, you will have learned the ways.

SMHIUD! :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Lol Chevy!! Me thinks, however, that the 'Kung Fu" references went way over his head... Not only due to cultural differences. I doubt anyone younger than 35 has any idea of the series and the influence it had on our generation. Great show though. I watched it every week for years. It along with Bruce Lee's films definitely had an impact on my youth.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
THE TRUTH

So... the thing is that Ravike didn't get his kernel to work correctly, but luckily he got Sense 5 and 4.5 working by flashing a HTC One VX RUU, HOWEVER, since he was S-OFF, as well as him already got a J-TAG already, the RUU did not brick his phone. It flashed successfully on his phone so he didn't brick!

As for why it says "Ravike14 kernel", he probably just changed it from his build.prop. It's a neat little trick!
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Probably so. And I went to school with Brandon Lee! Great guy, and a sad life.

I had many play kung fu fights with my breather after each show.. :)

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

Actually, that line comes from the kernel itself. The sense version is build prop as well as the Rom info and the phone model.the android version is in the ext.jar. and the other standard Bluetooth, video and basic hardware and screen size in build.prop.

There is also system/customize/min/default.xml. that can be edited too. That has the phone model in it.

;)

[MENTION=5321153]shubham211995[/MENTION] I loved your Roms that ever you posted here.

I know you have so many works of college and study to do that you have told here many Times.

I personally feel that you have the tallent, grasping and all the things you need but you have not experienced here.

Because you have joined this community a few months ago.

Here the devs are very experienced and at this stage you can't beat them but yes you'll for sure because you have the eager to learn the new things but not getting enough time... Right??

So I'll advice you one thing to be patience.

Wait till your exams over.

After getting free time read the things and start again, don't do it now in your.study time.

I personaly like your work and this is my advice.

I had the same issue along with others.

Get rid of the Facebook app altogether. I was getting above average battery life when i first got my Moto X but noticed that Facebook has a ton of wakelock issues so I used Greenify to let it do its thing and my battery life has improved even more. If you can, I would suggest using Greenify and let it do its magic on the Facebook app or just uninstall it and use the mobile version.

hey i haven't been on here in probably over a year, i do still have an infuse and it's been my only phone for 2.5 years. but just upgraded to a nexus 5. i don't consider my self a developer but i know enough to make some modifications.

my thoughts on the nexus 5, it's fast!! well calibrated screen but doesn have light bleed on the edges, external speaker is up to par( well on some of them, some people have a defect) and a well calibrated camera as far as exposure/colors, yet it does have focus problems and shutter lag to the point of real disapointment, 3rd party apps help but the quality suffers. the build of the nexus also feels very deicate. i won't sell the nexus, but i think there is still room for the infuse.

the infuse just doesn't cut it as a web surfing device. the res is too low, and the single core doesn't always render pages fast enough.... but the contrast is extremely good, the camera doesn't lag and it's surprisingly tough.. also without a cell connection it has amazing standby time, i'll keep it around the shop. and i may cook something together for it...
