[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyebrWhip:
I installed Ultimatum rom v3 on friends phone and my phone. My phone working great so far, friends phone has developed an issue receiving txt messages few weeks ago and recently fb and fb messenger are now giving "unknown error" messages. I had him install go sms to try get around the text message problem, it seemed to fix it for few minutes then it stopped working also. I only have text contact with my friend so I need some easy to explain tests or fixes to try. Is there any way to "reset" the ROM back to original without reloading the rom? Any way to fix these app errors without too much difficulty? Any advice would be appreciated.

[General Questions and Answers] Hunsdale:
Ok so basically I am 26 and very interested in learning about how to work with and customize technology and not just phones but in general. Things such as computers,phones,game systems etc. What im wondering is where do you begin learning this stuff because I am around the net and people talk so confidently about linux, operating systems, kernels, Programs and how they work and i find myself just lost in wtf they are talking about. Now like alot of people I can get things done by following step by step tutorials and things of that nature but what I would really enjoy is understanding these things and being able to do more then just google search and follow the leader so to speak.

Does anyone have any suggestions how to go about that. Would i need to take some kind of college/university course in computer engineering or something? I wish I would have knows how interested I was in these things earlier in my life because as a kid I found myself unfocused and undriven and now later in life i finally have an idea of what I want to focus on but again feel lost in where to start.

I ask here because I see alot of people like the ones I mentioned earlier and by that I mean confident in how all this stuff works.
[General Questions and Answers] chan.sk:
Hi,

It's good to know that people are keen to learn about these "geek" stuff.

The best part is that, on the Internet, there are special interest groups that offer free tutorials. I collated some websites which might provide you with some "beginner's guide".

Generally, the Wikipedia resources will be a good "first-read" on anything you want to learn about. It will give you the basics, history and development and features of those topics you mentioned. XDA has a consolidated wiki of the operating systems here:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/

Next up, when you want to go hands on, then working the online tutorials will give you leg-up. For example:

Linux:

http://linuxsurvival.com/

For the rest, you can also search the Internet, just have to search using "learn xxx".

The more you read about them, the more you will begin to understand.

If you need guided (with a person), then you will need to enrol in one of those (usually) expensive courses for system administrators for the respective operating system you want to learn about. These courses will usually delve deep into the bolts and nuts of managing the respective operating system. This will be the way to go if you want to make a career of in this field.

Hope this helps.
[General Questions and Answers] Hunsdale:
sounds Like I have a long road ahead but very worth it. Im trying to learn to change my boot logo and animation and wow even something that simple seems so complicated. Technology is just so advanced now even simple aspects just are not. But I am A big fan of customization and technology and all that good stuff so I think I will enjoy this journey to figuring all this stuff out.
[General Questions and Answers] TheGospelGamer:
I really like what chan.sk said. I really feel like it's spot on! Trying to learn the basics and then attempting to put them into practice is a great way to go. I think school is always a great option but really make sure you weigh all the options before you do that(major,what courses you are going to take, cost, time commitment, etc.)

And I can actually really relate with you Hunsdale. Genuinely. I went to school to do Mechanical Engineering and graduated worked for two years and at age 23/24 I realized it wasn't for me. I had "direction" when I went to school but it was only because I wanted a job. Never thought too much about if I would enjoy it. Haha!

So about a year and half ago I decided after really searching myself that I wanted to get into game and software development. Though I know this is not directly what you want to do I figured Id give you a rundown of how I got where I am now (Have Currently developed 2 games that are published in Google Play).

First, I just engulfed myself in what I wanted to do. I started particularly with game development. For me for example, I watched almost every available video I could on gdcvault.com. There was genuinely times I had no idea what was going on with all the acronymns and terms being used but It helped me to get used to their context,

Once I felt like I understood what was going on, I looked for a way to start developing a game in a very simple way so I took a tutorial. In particular I took a tutorial at sdltutorials.com because it was very thorough and stepped me through the process step by step. Didn't completely understand the tutorial but then I set a goal to use that tutorial to make a small game! THAT WAS THE BEST DECISION I EVER MADE!!

Because I didn't understand everything I was doing during the tutorial, trying to make a game of my own based off that tutorial FORCED me to learn what everything did from the ground up.

Made that small game. Then took some more tutorials on more advanced things.

Made another small game and then decided I wanted to try my hand at mobile developement.

Looked up different things on mobile development and started to learn stuff about different platforms, how they differ, the languages they use, etc. Once I understood that, I decided to make android based games and took ANOTHER tutorial. From that tutorial i made a small game that turned into my first game.

To be honest, I just rinsed and repeated that formula over and over. Choose a new direction, learned about it, looked for tutorials and examples on how it works, made my own sample project using tutorial, then branched off from what I've learned to more advanced things.

I hope that was helpful in some way.

Also, just as a side note I considered going back to school but couldn't afford it sadly. Haha!
[General Questions and Answers] BraydenLarwill:
Being in the same boat you are not too long ago, I know how it feels. I learned mostly through YouTube videos, the forums right here on XDA, and other sites that are similar. A lot of things are easier to learn as you do them, so take the time to learn everything carefully as you do it and slowly you'll build onto those skills and eventually you'll be able to do everything with no worries!

Ya this site seems very helpful I used it to successfully flash a new rom onto my phone which so far works very well. I will check out youtube and see if i can find some good videos to help in what I am trying to do.

My vision for my boot logo and bootanimation ( which i will have to make myself ) is a combination of bleach,onepiece,naruto which is my fave anime/manga at the moment which I don't know if people here follow but basically Id like to.

have the boot logo be a picture of 3 different manga cliping on on picture

And the the animation will be this same picture being slowly coloring in until all characters are fully colored. I dunno if i will succeed but I am gonna give it my best shot.

Does anybody know if there's ways to modify a Metal Case to get normal reception? I had the Idea of buying this case ( http://www.casefanatic.com/samsung-...oque-lg-g2-metal-bumper-d802-d801-ultra-thin/ ) and modifying it where the Antennas are so I don't lose signal. Has anybody attempted anything like this? Its a really sexy case. Just want a way to not lose signal.
[G2 Accessories] Elnrik:
I guess you would need to see a G2 tear-down to know where the antennas are exactly. If you find one, let me know. I'm curious.
[G2 Accessories] DreadCode:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBysBoEGmXY Here's a VS980 Teardown. No Idea what the antenna looks like on these...
[G2 Accessories] Elnrik:
Looking at that teardown and looking online for any information I could find,

You would basically need to remove a good inch from the top and bottom of a metal case to reduce signal loss.

Hi, I noticed that in the advanced wifi settings is a setting for wifi optimisation which says it saves battery.

I am finding that when this setting is on, every time i am on a game i am getting messages says lost connection and my games having to reset or start again, when the setting is off this doesn't happen.

the option does actually seem to save a lot of battery i have found, but its a shame that i keep getting disconnects with it turned on :(

has anyone else found this?

Its a known bug for us tmo userd on AOSP, AOKP and CM roms. There is a fix for it created by [MENTION=4126377]tdm[/MENTION] for both kitkat and 4.3 roms. 4.3 fix must be baked into the rom or by someone with dev experience but the kitkat fix is in the original dev section.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zander21510:
So I'm going to get my Nexus 5 tomorrow...and my SGS3 will go up for sale. It was a great phone and the community here has been awesome. Big thanks to the CM developers and Ktoonsez for making my phone awesome!

I've been pondering something for a while about phones and custom roms, specifically AOSP roms on Samsung Touchwiz phones...

From my experience with laptops, if I load Linux on it, there is some hardware that just plain won't work or that doesn't work as well as it does when it has Windows on it. I've done every fix and loaded proprietary drivers and done just about everything I can do to make it work as well as possible, but it still falls short of Windows. This is plainly seen in battery life, with my best efforts I always lose 1-1.5 hours of battery life using Linux instead of Windows (not a knock on linux, I love to use Linux for certain things, I just have to use it with my power adapter).

I've been struggling to get good battery life with CM 10.2 on my SGS3 for some time now...I can barely get 8hrs with 2hrs screen on time with CM10.2 and Ktoonsez, undervolting and tweaking and all. I've done my research on wakelocks and energy usage and everything, but I just can't get it to go longer. So it the theory the same for the SGS3? Because it was designed for Touchwiz, it it practically impossible to get an AOSP rom to work as well/energy efficiently as a Touchwiz-based rom? And, as a curiosity, since the Nexus 5 is supposedly pure Android, will an AOSP based rom work just as well as the stock rom?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aamir123:
The difference would be that touchwiz is optimized by Samsung, and that Windows and Linux are totally different. The difference between touchwiz and aosp is more akin to say ubuntu and kubuntu or unity and kde. Also Samsung has all the drivers released for our hardware from what I understand cm has to take some generic stuff and tweak amd mod to get it to ruin on our devices. Hence the screen glitches you may see on some cm roms in some devices
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
It's is not true for everyone but maybe specific with your device as I am using mostly aosp / aokp roms and I am getting around 10 + hours time with 5+ hours screen on time

I too use kt with ktweeker setting with some undervolting and using greenify too
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zander21510:
Yeah...maybe it's just my battery going bad. Now that I think about it I was getting nerly 36hrs with 3hrs screen on time for a short time with CM 10.1.

So touchwiz is more akin to KDE or Gnome? That makes more sense...I thought maybe since there were so many differences it might have something to do with it.

[Moto X Q&A] eyc:
I'm on VZW 4.4 non-DE rooted. I just started dabbling with Xposed and GravityBox. I figured out that I need to boot into recovery in order to install the framework and make any module changes stick. But, when I restart into normal (non-recovery) mode, I lose all of the Xposed tweaks that I have made. Is that normal? I thought I read a thread that said that you can make your changes in recovery mode and then go day-to-day in non-recovery mode with all the benefits. Am I wrong?

*Edit* - I reviewed jcase's [Root/Write Protection Bypass] thread, and saw several people asking the same questions there, but no answers.
[Moto X Q&A] anirudh412:
Most people who have had this have a locked BL. I have it myself, but I have safestrap installed. No problems with XPosed or XBlast module thus far. There is a thread in the Dev section to permanently kill read/write protection off. Maybe give that a go?
[Moto X Q&A] eyc:
If we are rooted on SlapMyMoto, is there some way for us to check to see if our phone is booted in recovery or not? At this moment, I have no idea if I have booted in recovery or non-recovery, and someone said in another thread that it is "not recommended" to go day-by-day in recovery mode.
[Moto X Q&A] somerandomname1:
Just boot into recovery mode and go run the tool in the development section to kill write protection. Then you don't have to worry about it and can just always boot normally.
[Moto X Q&A] anirudh412:
I dont see why it is 'not recommended' to have write protection permanently turned off. I might be wrong, but dont all the rooted phones with unlocked bootloader essentially do the same thing?

As for your first question, unless you specifically boot into recovery by going into fastboot mode and such, every time you reboot, you have write protection enabled.
