The newest beta xposed all works on The newest beanstalk and the cm11 under the same dev does as well

Please hit the thanks button as I have low self-esteem and crave validation from strangers!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Note_two:
Yes,but...

on CM 11 unofficial you have the ability to choose CM Themes. Xposed framework has now also 4.4 support, but it is a beta version, so it might be unstable
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rhaneyjr:
Ose and beanstalk both have theme chooser and ose has dpi settings as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Papalegba:
I'm using theme chooser on cm11 unofficial. Not all my 10.2 themes work and I had to reboot using the system theme once but that is to be expected.

Also I'm using xposed running gravity box, and xhalofloatingwindow without issue. I never really used multi window before but now I can trigger bubble launcher as an action using a long press in lmt and it's was slicker than the process was in touchwiz.

Hi,

Whenever I have a incoming call and that person has a picture associated in my contacts, their picture get cut in half. I can see the top of the picture with the number and name. The bottom portion where you slide left to decline, right to accept, and up to text, there's no image behind it. It is just black. But when I answer or decline the call, the entirety of the picture is loaded. This problem doesn't show up when I'm making an outgoing call, just incoming. Anyone have experience the same issue or with any knowledge on how to fix this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thats how Google designed it ever since Jellybean. No idea who thought that it looked good.

Its a relatively simple fix. Someone just needs to decompile Phone.apk or whatever the current dialer is called and change the black box color to transparent.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] techcntr:
Noob here - bear with me please.

I've tried searching this forum without success (probably because my questions is too general) and I don't have the patience to scan all 200+ pages.

Recently upgraded from HTC Tilt2 (WM6.5) to a Samsung Focus, customized to Phone7.8. Loved the Hardware, software not so much.

Found there were certain must-have features of WM6.5 that I just couldn't duplicate in WP7+.

So, here I am - I have a "new" HTC HD2 - which seems to have universal glowing reviews. Have spent the last few days installing various needed WM6.5 apps.

I've read a lot here about the ability to dual-boot with WM6.5 and Android. What I don't fully understand is what is it about Android that everyone wants? I know there are thousands (maybe even millions) of Android apps out there. How do you choose?

I would appreciate a few replies what Android apps are "killers" and drove the decision to set up the HD2 for dual-boots.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] johnye17:
is there any way to change from SuperSU to any other Superuser app without being able to open SuperSU? when i updated to official 4.3, Knox started giving me pop-ups saying that an app was unauthorized to use the system, and wanted to update the security to block, it was referring to SuperSU, i accidentally updated it and now SuperSU crashes when launching the app and even though the "Root Super User access" app says im rooted, Titanium Backup never finishes asking for root rights...help
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RandyMP:
I used the following to fix my issue. Use Root Method #2 and since you were already rooted, you can probably start at step 3.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mattbarker1:
I was just wondering what rooting a phone actually does? Like what are the benefits?

Sorry if that's a dumb question, just never really rooted a phone before.

As of right now I have everything I want in my Note 3, and the only thing I am wanting right now is to add more apps to my Multi-Window display

So jumping to my second question off of that last statement I was wondering if I could get any other apps on my Multi-Window display WITHOUT rooting?

I've looked at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024399 about rooting a Galaxy Note 2 with Verizon, but after following all the steps it doesn't seem to work for my T-Mobile Note 3, so I'm stuck.

I just want to know what all I can do by rooting and what the negative/positive sides of rooting your phone is? I have heard from people that rooting can "brick" your phone-or something? Idk.

I just don't want my phone to break!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] alienwolf426:
You can't use the rooting procedure for the Note 2 to root Note 3. Each phone has different procedure to root. You'll need to find the procedure for the Note 3 for your carrier. I'm also currently trying to find a thread to root a Note 3 as I'm getting one today, so I'll try to edit this post with the link to the thread.

EDIT: this is the method to root the Note 3: Universal Root de la Vega. Please spend a LOT of time reading and rereading the thread as you can damage your phone if mess up

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tracerit:
I was looking to sell my Nexus 4 on here but it seems xda chose to exclusively use swappa which sucks because they won't allow phones unless they're 99% condition. My screen is still good but they said no cracked glass anywhere (damn LG, what a stupid design!)

I covered it with a dbrand skin and it looks good imo. Ebay/paypal gonna take a chunk out of it and no one on craigslist knows what the Nexus 4 is lol.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
ebay / craiglist.

I like the up keep on Swappa I wouldn't want broken devices to be sold there either.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tracerit:
i'm trying to avoid those two places. swappa is nice but xda should've kept the forum open here as well.

If you don't mind spending a little, get a back cover replacement: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Google-N...s-Only-Replacement-OEM-Adhesive-/390655997466

Swappa is a partner with XDA so that's the XDA Market.

Frankly I am happy that they closed old XDA Market, it created lots of issues and maintanence for the XDA mods that weren't needed. There were a bunch of people too cheap or too poor to spend proper money and low balling everything, can't sell anything with a bunch of low ballers. And when you actually sell something, they give unnecesary issues and holding out on payment, one guy wanted me to record live on video my entire advanture of boxing the phone up and mailing it at the post office to make sure its a legit transaction. Not to metion the on going scams and people who messed up their phones flashing and willingfully selling them with hidden issues.

[Droid Ultra General] morphius2036:
Anyone know how to capture the zip from the SOAK servers? Also the 12.15.15 obake is the current firmware out now for the ultra. I want to say the last SOAK was 3 days after the email. Got the email on Oct 28th and Halloween morning had the OTA. Lots of the rooted users had issues so if you are going to Fact reset do before you finish the survey, device reset can kick your device out of the list to get the OTA
[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
Use a root browser and navigate to cache once it is downloaded. Copy it then upload. Easy
[Droid Ultra General] morphius2036:
Ok where is the cache folder, not rooted so haven't messed around the file structure on this phone much.
[Droid Ultra General] bendrum30:
Believe you need root to get to cache. Could be wrong though.

Yeah my phone is stuck at bootloader with that security downgrade error. Is there an ETA on the sbf file?
[Droid Ultra General] wallace342:
Same here. I would also like to know about the ETA for the SBF so I can get this phone working again.
[Droid Ultra General] r00st3r9109:
There is a fix we can try.

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot erase misc

Fastboot erase userdata

Try this and everything should start up
[Droid Ultra General] wallace342:
It still says "Partition (boot) security downgrade error"
[Droid Ultra General] r00st3r9109:
If not we are working on an sbf
[Droid Ultra General] wallace342:
That would be great. Any idea on whether or not Motorola plans to roll out this update to the general public? If it has so many major bugs, I would wonder if they might hold off.

I know a SBF file exists. I received DROIDMAXX_DEVELOPER_EDITION-4.4-SU2-3-15-release-keys-cid2-Verizon-US.zip early this morning (1AM CST) from someone with Moto under the agreement that I would not share it with anyone. I intend on adhering to that. I was able to use fastboot to flash each portion manually and get my phone back in working order. I did not erase the userdata and everything came up clean and running smoothly.

I am really grateful to the folks at MSF and hope that Moto can get a final fix out to everyone having issues.
[Droid Ultra General] r00st3r9109:
Thank you for not sharing that sbf file. It should be a confidentiality though that this was not mentioned. But hey to each its own. Yes there is a file and as soon as we are allowed to release it we will. We just want to find the issue first before we give it out for others sake.
[Droid Ultra General] Jaocagomez:
I want that so bad

oooh temptation!
[Droid Ultra General] wallace342:
For what it is worth, I certainly would rather have a temporarily buggy phone (assuming there are some unresolved problems with Kit Kat) than a very expensive brick, and I would be willing to bet that others in the same situation would agree. If there is some way I could get those files, I would be willing to keep them to myself as well.

Hell, my upload rate here is so slow anyways that Android 5.0 would be out by the time my upload finished.

[Droid Ultra General] ks2332:
And I came from a nexus 5 so I'm pretty fast boot savy
[Droid Ultra General] wallace342:
I did a fastboot flash with the recovery.img you sent, then did an adb sideload of the update (zip file).

Unfortunately, when I try to sideload the update, it fails because my install-recovery.sh file has unexpected contents, I'm assuming as a result of the root. I did an unroot before I took the update, but apparently that didn't undo itself at that time. Since I can't boot to the OS, (and no longer have root even if I could), I can't remove/replace this file with the stock one.

I'm still getting the "Partition (boot) security version downgraded" message and can only get to the boot loader and recovery, which is where I was before.

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

I also consider myself to be savvy with fastboot, adb sideloading, recovery, and the like since I have owned 3 different Nexus devices and 5 different Motorola Droids and played with installing ROMs, rooting, etc. on all of them. This is the first and only time I have encountered a bricked device that I wasn't able to get back up and running in short order, but I'm convinced that some FXZ files should do the trick.
[Droid Ultra General] ks2332:

So another quick question to everyone as i am waiting for the download to complete. Weather got bad up here so im running a little late. Has anyone tried to RSD back to 4.2.2 with the 12.15.15 update files? That has worked for a few people on the private forums
[Droid Ultra General] brianmagicr:
I tried that but no luck.
[Droid Ultra General] wallace342:

[Droid Ultra General] ks2332:

[Droid Ultra General] r00st3r9109:
Not device specific. I'm sending now to one person to test for me
[Droid Ultra General] pj1980:
my maxx is bricked as well i hope this can be fixed soon, i'm using a prepay phone until this thing is fixed :(
[Droid Ultra General] brianmagicr:
Did the test work?
[Droid Ultra General] gbum213:
I did and I was. I took the update from this link on this thread (which should be probably taken down IMO until all the kinks are worked out for this update, as there are a lot of users stuck in bootloop as well) and I was flashing the update successfully up until flashing the system.img.

I was stuck at the Motorola logo boot screen. Trying to fastboot to recovery resulted in a "failed to hab check for recovery" message. I tried flashing a 4.2.2 recovery.img, a factory reset and flashing the rest of the update via adb, but nothing worked until I flashed the fxz I used to unroot.
[Droid Ultra General] r00st3r9109:
OK here it goes. A fix for the bricked. This is not a sbf or fxz file. I do not have permission to release yet. Can not loose my privilages

http://d-h.st/RR4

Try it and let me know the results
[Droid Ultra General] chevyrado14:
just tried the fix. it would not flash the recovery. and when i tried sideloading the zip it failed for the unexpected changes in install-recovery.sh
[Droid Ultra General] IntenseImage:
Did vzw stop the rollout until the bugs are fixed?
[Droid Ultra General] ks2332:
Didn't work
[Droid Ultra General] r00st3r9109:
Crap. Well I do have good news for everyone. You have two options from me to you. First is that you can wait till tomorrow afternoon for the sbf or you can call moto and they will replace your device due to the update as long as your imei is not flagged.
[Droid Ultra General] dxl880517:
Hopefully the sbf will fix most of the issue caused by the update
[Droid Ultra General] chevyrado14:
I'll wait for the sbf if that fails I'll go thru moto for a new device
[Droid Ultra General] wallace342:
Same here. I'm confident SBF will fix the issue since my boot loader and recovery are fine. Anxiously awaiting the SBF files....
[Droid Ultra General] r00st3r9109:
It might. It might not. If you have been rooted and used houseofmoto that is one reason why it failed. Otherwise if you never rooted it would fail 61% of the time. Or if you kept root it might fail. You have a better chance of upgrading on a rooted device then a nonrooted device. There is a new update file being created and a new software version that will be posted shortly. Everyone should be fixed by Monday the latest if we can keep going the way we r
[Droid Ultra General] Jaocagomez:
Please comment about the theme, white stock for kit kat!
[Droid Ultra General] r00st3r9109:
It might be changed. We are unsure at the moment. I know we all want white. And more of a stock theme. But we will see
[Droid Ultra General] wallace342:
One vote here for white. Has the update only been rolled out to soak testers at this point, or has the regular update rollout started? I'm asking because I have about 10 users (I am the IT Manager at our company) who have a Droid Maxx and I'm wondering if I should anticipate them getting bricked phones. If so, I need to tell them to avoid the update for the time being.

My XT1080 Maxx wouldn't go past boot loader so I followed these directions. I downloaded 12.15.15 ... totally un briked and on 4.2.2 for now.

[Droid Ultra General] wallace342:
The problem for some of us is that the 4.4 update partially installed, so when we try to SBF back to 12.15.15 as you suggested, we get an error because the boot partition has been downgraded, so I don't think your suggestion will help those in that situation.
[Droid Ultra General] trikotret:
the people who successfully upgraded to_4.4, will we get an other update too?
[Droid Ultra General] chuck1026:
IDK because my 4.4 partially installed and then locked up. I tried recovery and was unsuccessful. At that point I started to get pretty mad and thought how stuoid I was for sideloading 4.4 at all... When I tried to go into recovery I got a red recover fail message... so:

I eventually used the link I posted and before I connected my Droid, I powered it down by holding the Volume Down button and then also pressed the PWR button along with Vol Dwn until the screen went dark.

At that point I released both buttons and repeated the process... Pressed vol dwn and held it then half second later also pressed pwr button.

That is where I left the phone (displaying fastboot stuff). And the droid was in that state just before I plugged in my USB cable.
