...Just isn't a shell of full Ubuntu/Debian/etc. enough and more functional?

You should already know that Ubuntu Touch lacks all sorts of functions - there is indeed a stable Ubuntu Touch release for GNex, I installed it a month ago to see if it could at least stand up as a daily driver, only to find that it's barely usable with a minimal set of apps (call, SMS, music, browser, terminal).

My fault I assumed that there was a desktop distro of Ubuntu that was for the nexus 7 and 4 . I saw a screenshot real quick on a website and I though it was the desktop distro , I loaded Ubuntu touch on my gnex awhile ago just to try it

Anyways if I ran only Linux instead of android plus Linux it would free up a lot of resources CPU , RAM mainly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyYan:
I get the point, but as I've been around for some time, I only saw a few desktop Ubuntu builds for TABLETS. Phone + full Linux is simply not practical to use anyway (mouse, keyboard, small font and scaling, etc.)

Hello everyone :)

I have been trying to figure this out for sometime now...maybe it's normal I'm not sure. Hopefully someone can help me figure this out.

Whenever I get a picture through text and I click it to look at it and then I want to go back to the text so I click the back button. Well it takes me to my picture folders like camera photos and what not. Is there a way to change it so when I hit back it goes back to that text and doesn't go into my photos? Or is that a normal thing? I normally have to hit my home button then go back to my texts. Just seems like I should be able to hit the back button and it should go back to my texts. Right?

Hopefully someone can help me out.

Thank you :)

if i change the rom to an i-mate jasjar or any other will it be unblocked?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] chetccox:
No
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Dare2Dream:
why is that ?

I'm not an expert but Sometimes I wonder why is that, If we replace ech and every file of locked mda-pro with unlocked jasjar ?? then there should be no reason for a locked mda-pro.

can anyone explain inside science of locking & unlocking ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] numanoids:
I think it also depends on the definition of "blocked"

If the phone iteslf has had its IMEI blocked, then no amount of reprogramming/reflashing will unblock it.

If the phone has a simlock on it, then I believe this would be to do with something within the phone hardware itself.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Charlie VOIP:
Hi guys

That old chestnut again, locked and blocked are 2 completely different issues and unfortunately neither of these actually involves anything that is didrectly under the control of pocket windows.

There are 2 types of locking.

1) PUK locking (SIM Locking), this occurs if you incorrectly enter the SIM pin code 3 times in a row. If this happens you need to contact the network provider to get PUK unlock code, better still if you enter the PUK code incorrectly 5 times you will destroy the sim and need t get a new one.

2) Network Locking is a flag that specifies the LAIN of the mobile network that supplied the mobile phone and if this feature is enabled by the operator it will mean that only a SIM card that has the corect LAIN will work in that phone. I forget what LAIN stands for but basically it is used in the GSM international roaming world and therefore each operator has its own, the first few digits indciate the country then the last ones the specific network.

This can be disabled in 2 ways firstly by using and encrypted code specifically issued for your handset. Or secondly by trial and error by writing different values to the registers on the EPROM on the GSM unit itself. Eventually this will result in the phone unlocking itself. In order to do this the gsm engine needs to be removed from the handest and interfaced to a serial port. A 0 or a 1 is then sent to each register 1 ata time and the phone is then tested to see if it works. Depending on the size of the chip this takes a long time. However when you no the memeory location of the register this can then be done to any phone in a matter of minutes. this is basically the way modsyt of the unlocking systems are developed.

Finally IMEI blocking. This is done where the network has evidence that a crime has taken place either fraud commited on the handest, abusive phone calls or the unit has been stolen. If the network IMEI blocks it you have 2 options, 1 sell it in a diferent country ( Nigeria) or some chip sets contain the IMEI details on a flash chip. Again the registers are read over a serial interface and this can be rewritten. The first phones to support this IMEI in flash were the siemens TC35 gsm engines also the wavecom gsm modules support this. I am not really sure of any legitimate application for changing the IMEI of a mobile handest or even why this data is not writen in ROM but there you go.

I hope that helps to clear up issues relating to locking and blocking.

Regards

Charlie

thanks for such informative essay, we all are concerned about the network locking. I have noticed a tool to remove simlock from HTC wizard using same OS as HTC Universal. but in the above post its mentioned that OS has nothing to do with unlocking ..

But unloking tool of all old HTC devices running WM 2003 never took so long as in the case of Universal ? or may be quite possible that all good brains of our forum dont use Universal ?

Is a bootloader unlock key tied to a particular phone when it is emailed out? I have a Verizon moto x and am thinking about trying to generate an unlock key from a sprint or T-Mobile demo phone and then unlocking my phone if possible.
[Moto X General] gunnyman:
yes. each key is unique and only works on the phone it is generated for.
[Moto X General] Steve-x:
They are unique to each phone.
[Moto X General] vtmike:
Thanks. Saw a youtube walk through on unlocking the moto x and they edited out the bootloader identification number. Thought if they went to that trouble it might be possible to grab a code from a phone that hasn't been unlocked yet and use that.
[HTC Desire X] chocyman:
Ok..so i admit, Ive stuffed up AND didnt take a nandroid backup.

Rule #1..take a backup! :D

Secondly, Ive been running stock 2.22.707.6 for a while, and although my phone is unlocked (tried a few custom ROM's in the past) I prefer the stability of a stock ROM.

I wanted to install Awesome beats V.5, which requires SU, busybox etc installed.

No problem, installed SU and busybox, root access all working fine and ran Awesome beats Aroma installer V.5. All completed successfully.

BUT..now I have no sound from the speaker OR headphones. Looks like it maybe doesnt work on Stock DX ROM's? (are they AOSP?)

Anyway..to my question. Id like to re-install to 2.22.707.6 (Im CID 44) so I can do one of two things. Either go back to stock, root again, then remove/re-install everything

OR..

Is there a DEODEXED 2.22.707.6 ROM floating around? I can find CKPV5's excellent tut on restoring to stock, but if there's a pre-rooted, deodexed stock ROM then this would make things easier?

How do I get to 2.22.707.6 from the current deodexed version of 2.20.401.5....OTA updates work still with this?

Thanks for any help you can be.
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
u have CID 044.

There are many stock NANDROID for 044 available. Search in Threads.

(As they are nandroids, so you will get complete factory stock so future updates will be fine, IF ANY arrives. Just follow the restoration guide and restore nandroid then reflash stock recovery and you're done)

I'm also on 044, so u are indeed covered.
[HTC Desire X] chocyman:
Thanks for the reply neXus,

Yep, I'm aware there is a stock 2.22.707.6 that I can re-install, root, install SU, busybox, adblock etc and then uninstall all the bloat from the stock 044 ROM

But..being a bit lazy is there a deodexed 2.22.707.6 ROM? and if not, if I use the 2.20.401.5 deodexed ROM as a start point, can I then run an OTA update to get it to 2.22.707.6?

Cheers
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
No, there isn't a deodexed version for your software version. And you can't run the OTA on a deodexed ROM. So you have the choice of either install a different ROM or deodex your software version yourself (using android kitchen, there are many tutorials for that on XDA, jsut search for it).
[HTC Desire X] chocyman:
Thanks..thought this would be the case, but worth asking.:good:
[General Topics] saman0suke1:
Hi, I've always loved Motorola, and the Nexus brand always keep my attention; I know that in specs, Nexus 5 is better than Moto X, however, I'd like to hear your opinions, I even checked on eBay and the 32 GB model of Moto X is more expensive than the Nexus 5 one, so that makes me think, which one is actually better? I will purchase one tomorrow, so I'd like to know what do you think! THANK YOU!

EDIT: Do you know what are these phones made of? I have a Note 2, and I hate the "plastic" that is made of, which one is better between Nexus and Moto?
[General Topics] LossyDragon:
After weeks of hard thinking, I chose the Nexus 5 over the MotoX. Still waiting for it to ship to see if I actually like it.
[General Topics] saman0suke1:
Thanks for the suggestion, besides the specs, did something else helped you to take the decision?
[General Topics] LossyDragon:
I'm moving away from Verizon and retiring my Galaxy Nexus. I'm going to be using AIO-Wireless and the ATT version of the MotoX doesnt have an unlockable boot loader... But every other MotoX version does :mad:... I love the Nexus line up as I have both generation nexus 7's and a Galaxy Nexus.

But the Multi color LED light is a plus for me. It's unlock able and root able without voiding any warranty. I'm a bit sad of the reported battery and mic/sound issues for the N5.
[General Topics] saman0suke1:
Does to Moto X lack of LED light? what's about battery and mic/sound? is it serious? :S thanks!
[General Topics] LossyDragon:
I believe it doesn't due to the Active notification screen.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androderp:
Anyone else been noticing issues with the power button on the N4 since upgrading to Kit Kat? (Fully stock)

I've found that sometimes my power button won't register a 'long press' to bring up the power/volume/airplane mode control, unless I reboot.

Other times, I've found that pressing it seems to register twice.

Is it just me?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpitnathany:
it's not kit kat the power button on our phones is of really bad quality they only last for a few months you should get it replaced from the service centre.

You are not alone my friend..It happened to me when i upgraded to 4.3..Ever since i am having issues with power button..At first i thought that it's due to 4.3 because the button was all fine in 4.2..But then i had to accept that the button is dying..It's not due to the upgrade..

Sometimes my button won't register long press & sometimes it feels like i've pressed it 2 times lol..Phone locks & then unlocks just by pressing the button once :crying:

Thanks seanz....great rom much appreciated...but...your note 3 ported skynote is still better. Flashed the official mk base and runs great but I love your skynote n3 based rom. It looks, runs, and acts just like my note 3 so going from one note to the other is seamless. Having all the features working flawlessly as well as the updated look of the n3 widget and launcher is amazing, and the only rom ill be able to switch to will be a note 3 rom based on the official 4.3 vs what appears to be a near complete and close to flawless leak. Although for the amount of work im guessing you put into these roms vs the tiny changes that may have occured between the leak and official build I wonder if its worth your time. Leak runs good but skynote note 3 runs flawlessly.

Hugely appreciated man...
