ANTUTU BENCHMARK - for benchmarks

BUSYBOX FREE

CHRONUS - best weather and clock widgets around!

COLORNOTE - yes, notes!

DOLPHIN BROWSER - better than Chrome imho (with Dolphin Jetpack)

GOOGLE DRIVE - just because we have 50 GB free

EASY VOICE RECORDER - a sound recorder with widgets

FAUXCLOCK AND FAUXSOUND - great app to tune the faux kernel (paid apps!)

FORZA FOOTBALL (previously LS ADDICTS) - must have if you like soccer!

FOURSQUARE - yes, i actually use this social

NOVA LAUNCHER - the best launcher

PIXLR EXPRESS - to improve your "mid-range Moto G" pictures

QUICKOFFICE - office and pdf opener

QUICKPIC - best gallery app

ROOT EXPLORER - a must

SD MAID - good cleaner

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickedynick:
So the OTA URL finally started being shared last night and I decided to take a few minutes this morning to sideload it. My Nexus 4 is locked and unrooted (the main reason I used to root other phones was that I wanted to have the latest version of Android and/or get rid of HTC Sense).

Anyway, after updating and playing around a bit I went to update some apps and found that the Play Store threw force close errors every time I tried. Knowing that I'd previously updated the store app from an apk I thought it might be related, so went to uninstall updates. However, the button read only 'Uninstall', not 'Uninstall updates' and as such the app was removed and no longer shows in the launcher or apps list in settings. I thought a simple reboot might kick things into action, but no luck there.

Now, I completely concede that I should have noticed this before I read it (long week, stupidity, etc), but this shouldn't really be something which the user is able to do. I think what's happened here is that the update script has removed the old version and skipped adding the new one into my system directory when it detected that the same version was already present. I've managed to reinstall the Play Store apk, but it's not functioning correctly, crashing whenever I go to install something.

All of which brings me to my main question: Where do I go from here?!

I assume I can't just re-sideload the update since I'm now on KRT16S. I'd prefer not to flash the factory image, since it's a bit of a pain having to redo everything, but if that's the only option then I guess I'll have to take it. Any other ideas?

Edit: I've also shared this on Google+ here. I'll update this thread with a solution if/when one comes.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickedynick:
Well I've not managed to solve this issue in the way I wanted, but got fed up with effectively no Play Store access on my phone and decided to go down the fastboot unlock and flash factory image route. Cheers for the suggestions though!
[Paranoid Android Q&A] alienwolf426:
Does paranoid android have an official site where you can check what devices are supported etc? I'm thinking of getting a new phone and jsut wanted to see if my potential future (note 3 or nexus 5) phone is supported
[Paranoid Android Q&A] swent:
As far as I know only Nexus devices have native support. Any other device needs some random dev to port it on his own time and terms. You might be able to tell which devices are in active development by searching their XDA subforums and looking for PA threads.
[Paranoid Android Q&A] syorucu:
There is a Device Registry on their G+ community pages. Note 3 and Nexus 5 aren't yet supported.
[Paranoid Android Q&A] Anu6is:
Nexus 5 is supported.

Nexus devices are always officially supported

The device registry is a list of devices we are aware of existing ports for. It may not be conclusive because we aren't exactly notified if a port is created.
[Paranoid Android Q&A] syorucu:
Oh, OK, thanks!

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
( Its just a guess. So the topic header should have a question mark.)

I heavily doubt its Huawei. They aren't having top notch hardware upcoming nor are they showing signs of wanting to partner. Instead they like to create their own brand name.

Edit:

There is a link on the google+ saying the partner is some splinter group of Oppo: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...r-but-its-a-new-company-youve-never-heard-of/

[PAC Q&A] Weird0ne:
I've flashed nightlies for awhile now, but one thing I've noticed is that sometimes my Juice Defender app doesn't work well when it's set to turn of Mobile Data when screen is off. I have to restart the app a few times before it's working right.

In the activity log for the app I get:

ROM is not compatible with AOSP helper (band switch control is unavailable) - get CyanogenMod ;)

But it does work occasionally.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Daistaar:
Hey guys,

Just got myself an S View Cover on Amazon and while it's gorgeous and adds some nice weight and size (2mm goes a long way) It seems to really have no features. I was wondering if anyone knew of any tricks, tips, or maybe apps that can interact or make it more featureful? At this point I can answer, reject and hang up calls. That's about it. Seeing info is cool but maybe media player controls would be nice. Any thoughts or tips?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] twolasrnames:
If your not rooted, there is nothing you can do. If your rooted, there is an exposed framework module that puts music controls and scrolls song titles on the sview screen. That is the only thing out there right now I believe.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Daistaar:
Thanks for the update. I'm rooted but hadn't used XPosed for anything outside of modding wallet awhile ago. This should add some nice functionality to S View. It's pretty, just not featureful.

[General Questions and Answers] BKrofl:
My carrier is US Cellular, but I notice this site has very little for the carrier. They have many of the newest phones, I picked up a note 3 (SM-N900R4) from there a little bit ago, and went to xda to find out what they had. I noticed that there are many threads for the seperate carriers, but not for US Cellular, this didn't affect me too much with my old phone, the mesmerize (SCH-I500), but most of the differences were small and could be overcome by using romkonverter. But I'm sure I'm not the only one getting frustrated with this site's lack of US Cellular support. What I'm asking is why is there so little support for US Cellular? Could I do anything about it?
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
i guess i would say that us cellular is a a bit more unpopular then Verizon/t-mobile/at&t carriers. its kinda strange that virgin mobile gets some devices on here such as the lg optimus V which is still being sold and is a great phone for such little specs. you could check here http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/forum/259-android-development/ i just recently found out about it
[General Questions and Answers] BKrofl:
I'm seeing development for the note 3 all over on xda, but the site you linked me to has very little to say about anything related to the note 3. I know there is development going on for the US Cellular note 3 because in the generic note 3 page (no carrier labeled), there is maybe one or two examples of things listing the SM-N900R4 as compatible, but not nearly as much as I would imagine, considering they all use the same hardware. For my mez, the only difference with that and the fascinate were the apns, you could flash kernels and roms for fassy on mez without romkonverter. I don't know what differences are in all the variances, but what I would like to know is, how could I actively get this site more involved with the development US Cellular devices?
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
probably only developing a rom on your own or with another person. start with Cyanogenmod, always the easiest to me.

that before releasing the universal tool, the 3.62.401.1 rumrunner worked fine. don't know the details of your issue so can't help much.

maybe best to check that thread, and if you gonna ask for help, i suggest copy/paste your command prompt; just saying "fatal error" doesnt give any clues as to what might the problem or where/when it happened
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] cognisynth:
If you want to easily customize your own keyboard AND you're using the MDA Vario, the .xls file has the keyboard codes. I don't have the I-Jam or Qtek so I don't know what's printed on their slide-out keyboards, but it's possible that the key position and its corresponding code are the same across all branded HTC Wizards.

The creator of AEK has a bunch of layout maps for the MDA Vario on his website:

http://ae.inc.ru/aekmaplayout.php

I based my own custom layout on Peter Kaszanics's "Greman, HTC Wizard with QWERTZ keyboard" layout. Basically, I added:

; QWERTZ --> QWERTY

; transposed _ and -

; added \ symbol, mapped to SHIFT+DOWN key

; added ° degree symbol mapped to SHIFT+OK key

; ' apostrophe mapped to SHIFT+LEFT ARROW

; ?smiley face to DOT+OK

; ^ to SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW

; ± to SHIFT+BACKSPACE

Now, if anyone has a Vietnamese character layout, that would be da bomb! AEK is a really cool tool - I'll probably activate my copy.

Enjoy!

[General Topics] Sam_in_PGH:
I am having an issue with reminder syncing when it comes to calendar. I have narrowed down where the probable issue is and I think it is from the browser to the phone. I downloaded 2 other calendar apps and the reminders are syncing between the apps but they are still not syncing to the browser. It is not syncing also, when the events are created on the browser and refreshed on the apps. Any one have a fix for this?
[General Topics] Sam_in_PGH:
So I am not sure if maybe using another calendar app fixed it, but it is fixed. The reminders are syncing now. I did remove cache/data for the Calendar app & Calendar Storage app before I tried another app.

But all is good.

[Android General] edget:
Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is where I'm supposed to post about this so here I go.

I've got an Arc S, rooted, unlocked bootloader. Problem is, I wanna upgrade to 4.2 at least, since I'm on 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.587) but NOT A SINGLE TUTORIAL OR ANYTHING ELSE HELPED WHEN TRYING TO UPGRADE.

I've been on over 20 sites, tried over 10 how-to's, I already bricked the phone a couple of times, so I'm getting tired of this ****.

The other times I upgraded (from GB to ICS, it took a while, since ICS had just come out, so there were no auto-tools for rooting/etc), it worked beautifully, especially with the XDA how-to's, was just awesome. But now, I can't even get to the recovery mode. The only time I managed to was with the latest X-Parts, but that bricked my phone when I launched the ROM install (CM 10.1, if I recall), this time tho, it can't even install the recovery.

So I'm pretty much outta options, or I wouldn't be bothering you guys with this. I'm pretty sure it's either a failure on SE's part, but every god damned time I tried to boot into recovery mode I get into this useless "safe mode".

I'm far from being a Linux/Unix noob, but god damned, Android's more of a joke than a real distro.

I get that manufacturers and especially carriers **** Android in every way they can, so they should be skinned alive for making this harder on us, in their retarded quest for -illusionary- control over their customers, but this is getting ridiculous.

Please guys, any help would be appreciated.

Just received the unit. Seals on both ends were broken. The box had dents on all the corners . There's clear tape missing on the sides of the tablet. The camera is covered, but there is protective tape on only one of the sides. The screen protector was crooked as well. Im wondering if this unit is refurbished. On hold for 25 minutes. Spoke with a very nice lady and explained everything to her. The unit doesnt appear to be damaged. I have 30 days to send it back. She said it is their practice to open the boxes to inspect before shipping. Not sure if thats true. Anyway, as long as I dont find problems with it, I'll keep it.

I would have bought mine from Newegg had they been a little faster getting their sale up.

They usually under promise and over deliver. Most things I get from them arrive earlier than promised. That doesn't happen with Amazon, they're slow to ship usually. NewEggs return policy is great as well.
