[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobokun:
Hi, I'm sorry if this question has been asked, I would like to start switching ROMs to test different ones, and I've been using Titanium Backup to backup all my data. I know that I should only restore back the user data and never system data when switching ROM's however I hate having to setup my widgets and homescreen layout everytime I switch ROMs. Is it safe to restore the backup of the Launcher even though it is in red text under Titanium Backup? I've read that it is okay to restore system data for the ones with yellow text but if its green or red it shouldn't be restored.

Is there any alternative of being able to switch between ROMs without having to setup your home screen icons everytime? Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If you're moving between Stock ROMs or Between AOSP ROMs with the same launcher, it shouldn't be an issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobokun:
Thanks. If I'm using Google's Launcher do I just restore Launcher in Titaniumbackup? I heard that I also need to restore Google Search as well.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I'm not sure about the latter. Just restore data (not app) for launcher so do it separately. However, titanium is never great at restoring laucnhers anyway
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobokun:
Thanks :) Do you have any better alternative solution for restoring launchers other than titanium?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Not really I am afraid. I use Nova. Titanium restores the widgets as "place holders" and nova allows me to "tap to restore widget" but even then, I have to add a bit of configuration to each. I've never found a perfect solution and as a result, have much less complicated homescreens nowadays.
[Galaxy S 4 General] shubham540:
A newly leaked schedule reveals which will be the first Samsung devices to get Android 4.4 KitKat. As you could expected the first to get the new Android version are this and last year flagships - Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II.

Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S4 will get the KitKat treatment just two months from now - in January, 2014. The 2012 ex-flagships Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S III will be getting KitKat in March or April 2014.

The new Android 4.4 KitKat improves the UI performance thanks to its Project Svelte - the successor of Project Butter. This means all devices to be update with KitKat will become smoother and faster than ever, with even better multi-tasking and improved RAM management. We are sure Samsung will bring a few goodies to its TouchWiz UI, too.

There is no official confirmation on the roadmap and we can't verify if this document is indeed the real deal, so you should take this info with a healthy pinch of salt.

[Galaxy S 4 General] negrobembon:
i don't beleive it will really be in January, unless the S5 is being released in January too. so my guess is that it will be by March for the s4 and note 3 and later for the rest

also when is samsung going to start focusing on tablets?
[Galaxy S 4 General] stonedandhappy:
Rumours are a January or February release for the s5
[Galaxy S 4 General] negrobembon:
That soon? i guess they dont worry about it being overshadowed by just about every other phone released next year
[Galaxy S 4 General] stonedandhappy:
I think it'smore to do with the slower than projected uptake of the S4.

It may be a good selling phone but I don't think that the figure are what they expected.

[Galaxy S 4 General] planetf1:
I have an S4 - would love 4.4, but it's ok with 4.3

I feel for my friends with S3 who suffered the botched 4.3 update -- one wonders if samsung should try to bring forward the 4.4 update for that device.. still lots around, keep them happy in the samsung family, take advantage of 4.4 memory optimizations. of course it's lots of the bloat that IMO is a big issue on that 1GB device...
[Galaxy S 4 General] coolnessQ:
Why buy samsung if ur not going to use its features??

Buy a Nexus if ya like stock Android and want 4.4 and it cheaper also.

Ill stay with my S4 since the 4.3 MJ7 Stock my phone has been super fast and my battery super long :D View attachment 2410090

They update their devices only, if they need apis from the new version to support new gedgets. (Galaxy Gear or something else)

the only Htc one(as far as i know) that has kit kat now is the Google edition and the only lg(as far as i know again) that has kit kat is the Nexus 5

I wanna share my knowledge here

Learning from my experience using Samsung's devices, I found similarities in the way of reversing Samsung devices to stock rom.

So this guide should be practice for almost all Samsung devices

Ok, let's get started

First, download all these stuff

1. Samsung USB Driver or go to this Thread (install it)

2. Samsung Kies (install it)

3. Odin v.4xx or Odin v1-3 or go to this Thread (just open when need it)

4. And of course your stock rom

Download from here (choose the right stock rom and the newest depend on your model)

5. Extract the stock rom using winrar/7zip

-you should 3 files PDA_xx.tar.md5, Phone/Modem_xx.tar.md5 and CSC_xx.tar.md5 or more

-If you have just two files, .xxxx.tar.md5 & SS_DL.dll, i'll give it the guide too :)

Second, Go to download mode

- For device with Menu button : hold power button+menu button+volume down (vol -)

- For device without Menu button : hold power button+volume down (vol -)

For the 3 Files or more

- Go to download mode

- Plug your device to PC/Laptop

- Open Odin

- Choose PDA (browse it from your extracted stock rom)

- Choose phone/modem (browse it from your extracted stock rom)

- CSC (browse it from your extracted stock rom)

- If there's more files, just put it on the same box of the files names

- Check list auto reboot and f.reset time(look at the left)

- Click start and wait

- If success, should be writen "PASS" on left side

For 2 files only

- Go to download mode

- Plug your device to PC/Laptop

- Open Odin

- Just choose PDA and browse it the file(forget about SS_DL.dll or XX.dll file)

- Check list auto reboot and f.reset time(look at the left)

- Click start and wait

- If success, should be writen "PASS" on left side

If there's something miss or wrong, please tell me, I'll fix it this ASAP

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faruk88:
Now that it's confirmed that there are 2 GSM models of this phone, can anybody confirm which one Telus is selling?

http://www.motorola.com/us/shop-all-mobile-phones-1/Moto-G/moto-g-pdp.html

Global GSM Model: GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)

UMTS/HSPA+ up to 21 Mbps (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz)

US GSM Model: GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)

UMTS/HSPA+ up to 21 Mbps (850, 1700 (AWS), 1900 MHz)

If anybody can post the FCC ID, that would help... Or perhaps the sticker on the box lists the available bands?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t-bon3:
Looking at the UK website for the retail Moto G http://www.motorola.co.uk/consumers/mobile-phones/Moto-G/moto-g-gb.html

It lists the following bands:

Bands/Modes

CDMA: 850/1900

UMTS: 850/900/1700/1900/2100

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900

So that's penta-band 3G and EV-DO CDMA!

This may be a mistake and it seems more likely that the version for sale in Europe is actually the quad-band Global GSM model above?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faruk88:
I dropped by at a Telus store today and asked to see the box for a Moto G. The FCC ID on the label was IHDT56PF1.

From the "Exposure Test Report 1" you can see that the WCDMA bands tested were 850 and 1900MHz. (the FCC only tests the bands that are used in the USA): https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/repo...rame=N&application_id=640163&fcc_id=IHDT56PF1

The US GSM version is IHDT56PF2 - differing only in the last digit. The SAR report lists 850, 1700, and 1900MHz: https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/repo...rame=N&application_id=836630&fcc_id=IHDT56PF2

So unless some trickery is possible such as flashing the radio ROM of one phone onto the other, the Telus-sold version of the Moto G won't have 1700MHz support out of the box.

The label also had the Industry Canada certification number on it, which was 109O-T56PF1. I searched it on Industry Canada's Radio Equipment List, and got this result:

http://www.ic.gc.ca/app/sitt/reltel...ssionid=0001VktzEWaH7HTarJ9DM_DcqaQ:6LBRFVSML

Edit: Looks like I can't link to a search result, but you can perform the search yourself here: http://www.ic.gc.ca/app/sitt/reltel/srch/nwRdSrch.do?lang=eng

Given that they have the same certification number, it looks like the XT1032 and XT1035 are probably identical hardware. My guess is that the latter will go to another provider like Rogers/Fido.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I just got the Moto G from Koodo for my niece to use on her Telus account. Hopefully, it will work without being unlocked.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheGamma:
Hi to everyone!

Well first at all sorry for my lame english, I don't usually use this language for posting, and also I'm new posting things, generally I read all post but in this case I don't find anyone that could help me this time, and teres my case's explanation:

Well, a few weeks ago (a month or so...) I was repairing a SGNote II N7100, the main problem is that it was submerged on a pool by her owner for 30 min. and then (when the owner was aware that he weared it, but anyway) he hung out to dry, after a couple of days he tested it again and detected two main problems:

The SIM Card readere wasn't working out properly, won't detect any SIM Card putted on it,

When the Note goes through deep sleep it dies, doesn't wake up anymore, so you need to remove the battery and turn it on again.

So for the repairing I buy a brand new logic board hoping for it came with a working OS but It doesn't have one, after a wait of 3 weeks (and yes form asia, it's a pain their delivery services), came totally empty, and when I say empty it's that totally EMPTY, I just turn on the phone but nothing goes beyond of the boot screen, I can't go though the factory recovery, but actually I can go to Download mode, a little ray of hope keeps me fighting on, and using ODIN for keep on, the things tha I'm trying now are:

First: Find a working LATAM stock ROM, (Telcel, Movistar, Claro, or any company on LATAM)

Second: IDK if I must find phone, csc, and bootloader for flashing.

Third: I need to find a working PIT for the rom that could help me, the logic board have 16gb and also IDK if it's a defective sudden death chip.

So please, please!! could you community of XDA help me for repair this phone from zero?

I have the new logic board, and the dried out logic board, I think that the dried out could help me for EFS backup and load that backup on the new empty board.... so I'm yours and thanks for help me :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Well this is the tmobile t889 forum of the note 2 so we probably won't be much help, but there is a n7100 forum as well. However here is a link to all the stock ROMs for the N7100. It should have what you need, but if not I'm sure they could help you in the thread there.

Since everything is automated, if something were to go wrong you don't know what part of it did not work. When you do things manually with fastboot, you can see everything you did to determine if you are not doing something correctly.
