[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DBThanatos:
Hello!

I have this horribly cheap china android phone (it's supposed to be a GalaxyS4 mini - replica, but it looks nothing like it) and I bought it for one single purpose: To have it stolen in case of need. Yeah. At nights when the city over here becomes very very insecure, I keep my main phone hidden, while I bring out my chinaphone to listen to music and to connect to facebook chat (the stand alone app) by connecting to the "Portable wifi hotspot" I activate in my main cellphone.

The thing is, the chinaphone its a piece of crap (it has 256 MB of RAM under android 4.1.2) and while it works fine after it has been rebooted, it tends to go slower and slower, to a point where it does absolutely nothing. I managed to somehow root it (it was a pain, since the rooting tools were in chinese and so is the root app) and I have installed a couple things to "enhance it" which is basically removing the bloatware they put in to make it look like a galaxy s4, live wallpapers and whatnot.And I installed another launcher, Nemus launcher, which is supposed to be one of the most lightweight.

So anyway. I was wondering what "apps" can I safely delete or disable to have a bare-bones device that can connect via wifi, open facebook messenger and play music. Maybe instead of asking what can I delete, I should ask: What should I keep?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FirstROMQuantum:
Well, I assume you will be using Titanium Backup to remove the applications? Do you have a list you can provide here of the apps that you have?

By the way, while sad that I think it is you have a "in case of robbery phone," I also think that that is an awesome idea ha. Where I live it's not necessary, but i'll keep this idea in mind in case I have to move.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DBThanatos:
Thank you. Yeah. I have to think ahead of eventualities. I have been robbed before and I sure dont want to lose my current phone, that's why I invested in this piece of hardware that "looks" like it could be my phone, while it's waaaay cheaper.

Anyway. As for apps, here's the list that android reports under apps->all

Acount and sync settings

Advanced task manager pro (i use it to kill everything in emergencies when it all goes crazy slow)

Android Keyboard

Android System

Atrium (im getting rid of this one, I dont really use it)

Bluetooth share (should I delete this one? the bluetooth in this thing is so slow that it's like not having it at all)

VolidationTools (i thought it was "validation" but no, "Volidation")

Im using swiftkey as I love that thing and the whole "Flow input" is great for this phone, considering it is not multitouch, It's "single touch" and if I try to type with the thumbs as in my real phone, it ends all garbled because I type rather fast, and i press keys at the same time; this translated in a single touch device, when I press by accident two keys at the same time, it finds the middle point between my fingers and uses the letter in there, which is really annoying. And typing slow is... well, frustrating for me. With the flow thing, i just swipe and the words come out nicely thanks to the prediction. Problem is, that it also seems to slow down the system to a crawl very very quickly

Any other keyboard that has this function so I can try it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DBThanatos:
Does anyone has any experience with Lightning launcher? It claims to be ultra fast, but Im not sure that means it's lightweight with the resources.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FirstROMQuantum:
You only use this phone for music right? I would remove the launchers and swiftkey, if so.

Or do you use it for more?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
Hello to everyone around here!

It has been ~6 months since I adopted my N4 and I've had a screen protection film and a bumper case since day one. But since N4 is a relatively wide phone and bumpers only makes the phone more uncomfortable to hold, I am thinking of going without the bumpers.

Question is, I've heard of our Gorilla Glass being quite tough, buy nobody seems to have reported how the non-glass parts faced the daily worn-and-torn. For example, will the chrome-plated power and volume keys and the screen rim get worn easily? And will the skin-like coating around the sides get scratched by hands or else? Can anyone who has used their N4 naked tell me their experience?

Depending on your feedback I'll decide whether I'll keep the bumper or not. Thank you for any response!

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charrascuasa:
Hi. Xperia NXT Light Edition comes with "Xperia Keyboard" which is customizable to a T9 keyboard with swype options and other settings ( one of the best keyboards in my opinion) . I've been able to install a downloaded and also a extracted version from this rom but only in ICS, and it has been to the moment impossible to me to install in GB. All post i have found in this forum correspond to this keyboard but only for ICS+, and i know its possible for it to be installed in GB since its the default keyboard in Xperia NXT Light Edition which is GB rom.

So my question is:

Can I install it in GB?

How?

Is there a customized apk or zip available for GB?

Thanks to the comunity in advance.

;)

Current: Xperia Play (GB) AuroraPlay v2.0.0b (also tried it on other GB roms)

U can flash this zip on any GB rom
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
I get a error when attempting to flash. Perhaps I will unzip it and manually move and change the permissions on this, then reboot and see if it plays nice.

Edit, Got it working, had to redownload. Thank you raminta for the zip. Much appreciated.

Hello,

I updated my htc one on android 4.3, and since than I have a problem with video highlights.

Pictures in the reel on highlights are doubled or tripled, and the zoe pictures dont show till the end.

It is just not working right. I tried to do a factory reset but it didnt help.

Does anyone have a similar problem, or a solution?

Thanks in advance

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giuseppe1010:
I have the exact same problem on my Verizon HTC One after 4.3. I've tried everything, clearing the data and cache in the camera and galllery apps, doing a factory reset, wiping the cache partition as recommended when I called HTC support. Since I was in the return window for the phone and got another phone and verified it worked ok before the update but right after it updated it had the same problem. So, it is definitely something with the update. I called HTC back and they said asked me to look at my software version and they said it was not running the latest software, they said they have to escalate the issue and will get back to me.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giuseppe1010:
video highlights

I contacted HTC support and found out that the doubling and tripling of the same picture during a video highlight is not a bug, it is the new way the highlight is created. I don't like it. Anyone agree?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hurry54:
I searched a lot in the past few hours for rooting my N5 & N10 in 4.4. Then finally I rooted N10 via Nexus Root Toolkit without wiping, just booted into that TWRP Recovery and installed SuperSU 1.8. But when I tried the same way to root N5, the Recovery only showed no command. So did I miss the actual method?

Thanks for anyone could answer my question.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
You have to unlock the bootloader to root. That'll wipe the device. The actual rooting doesn'tt wipe it.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walletless:
I upgraded the firmware on the HTC One (AT&T Branded). In order to do that, I had to relock the bootloader and flash firmware.zip using fastboot. I did have a proper Nandroid backup from TWRP before doing this.. Now the phone is bricked, and TWRP does not start for some reason...

I can't flash TWRP again because the bootloaded is relocked.. And when I request the bootloader unlock key from htcdev.com, I get an error

Error Code: 173.

Error Reason: Check Rule Fail with exception.

Is there any way I can get around this?

Quick update - [MENTION=1676777]HTCDev[/MENTION] came back and told me that their unlock service was down. They fixed it now and I was able to download the unlock code file.

HOWEVER, when I go to fastboot and try to flash it, nothing happens on the device (the status still shows relocked) even though fastboot says that the command succeeded..

Just flashed an older firmware (http://arhd.onedroid.net/db_mirror/Firmware/HTC/HTC_One/401/3.62.401.1.zip) and I am able to boot into android now...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farang4u:
You shouldn't need to lock the bootloader to flash firmware. Anyway, you erased your custom recovery when you flashed that firmware. Re-flash TWRP again. Make sure you have the same version as you did before so you can restore your nandroid. Did you get your bootloader unlocked?

BTW, I'd advise that you delete the Serial and imei numbers from your getvar readout in your post.

Edit: Too slow to post again, glad your device working. Still should delete those numbers.

100% worth it, I also came from S3. I changed mostly because of Sprint's horrible service but was great excuse to get moto x. Much faster and easier to hold, active display and voice actions are great features. Running kit kat without any touchwiz bloat is welcoming.

[Moto X Q&A] Jason.DROID:
Samsung pays a LOT of money to Microsoft just to have SD card support. It's not a FRAND license on smartphones. I believe it's $10-12 per device (x millions sold = hefty investment), rather than the typical $0.25 FRAND license.

ok well i have great input on this one because matter a fact i can from a sprint S3. and i was happy with my phone

Sprint S3

The Peoples Roms

16hr battery life

then i moved to

Moto X

Stock Self detoxed

gravity box

24hrs 4hr battery life with 2-3 hrs talk time and 1 plus screen on

i can say the phone is more stable and faster with allmost everything i do.

another thing i love is i can listen to music allmost all day and still have battery left to make it home from work.

we also seem to be staying up to date with the newest android update unlike the s3.

i was not sure about the phone when i first got it the only reason i got it was because i cracked the screen on my s3 and needed a new phone so i bought it. i was a flash aholic myself changed rom all the time till i stuck with the peoples rom. this phone has showed me that stock can be just as good as custom if not better. in my eyes i have learned that sometime less is better.

really i can say is try the phone out you wont be disappointed at all. it is a great upgrade from the S3
