A factory reset won't give you stock recovery. You can download the stock images from Google and manually fastboot the recovery img.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sandycook:
How do I do a manual fastboot?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] prstorero:
Assuming you have the sdk installed, you would open a command prompt where the fastboot and recovery image files are located and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ChiDi9901:
You don't need stock recovery, only stock ROM. But even then you don't need to reset your tablet at all. All you have to do is to know where the downloaded OTA .zip file is located. (I think somewhere in the root folder and a folder called cache. Next thing is to boot into recovery. (I presume you have TWRP?) Then from there locate the .zip OTA file. Tap on it and let it update your device just like normal.

:good: Nice explanaition of your opinion and you plan!!! :)

Never Seen such one!!

.........Few things about me...

1. I AM A NEWBIE TOO IN ANDROID AND LINUX!!

2. I want learn more about LINUX and ANDROID

3. Everything that i know about LINUX and ANDROID i learned here from Instructions of some people( cant remember all nicks - but BIG THANKS to THEM!!! ) that are posted on XDA Forums or Googled it!! And that is not much since i can not even compile a CWM from CM source - after 2 weeks of investigation and always getting error - - i understand its not easy to do that with my less experiance!!!

4.

I have a wife and 2 kids around me - so thats top priority 1 for me!

5. I do things in Android when i got time for that - thats mostly on weekends in the evening or night when wife and kids are in bed!! :)

6. My english is not the best!!

7.

Yes of course i am interested in experimenting and learning with other interested people!!!!

Cheers ;)

ALL programming books starts with how to write a "Hello World!" program. That's why I thought of the name :)

So "Hello I9506"? :)

Hi, my mate.

If u need help/some knowledge in decompiling/compiling of apks and framework jar files and building yr own ROM, PM me.

I have done my ROM projects in the S2 forums and some mods in I9505.

But I'm not a C++/java programmer freak.

I didn't have time to study in this field ;).

Just a tiny bit of xmls, themings and smali codes here and there that I can help u.

:)

I'm sure u can make a good ROM in this forum.

U need more "real" devs to help u in making yr own ROM.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Danvdh:
You are not alone on this. if you can do a clean system dump of 4.3 for me when it released I will take on some projects for you folks ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] xHausx:
Yup, that about sums up the majority of time I spend troubleshooting, with the answer often being something very simple that I overlooked in the beginning. :)

As for de-bloating, once you get familiar with what's what it can usually be done pretty quickly.

The first thing to always do is make nandroid of everything and save it your desktop just in case. Having a zip with the stock ROM handy can also save you a lot of time if you need to replace just one app.

There are four main places you have to remember when doing this:

/system/app - primary location for system apps

/data/data - where the app's data is stored

/data/app - where upgraded copies of the apps are saved

and the dalvik-cache (usually /data/dalvik-cache or /cache/dalvik-cache)

If you're using an odexed ROM you'll want to get both the .apk and .odex files at the same time. Many apps will also have two or three widget providers, etc., be sure to get all that stuff. Just keep a list of everything you've removed.

Facebook is usually the first thing I nix as it often uses ~50MB, is redundant when it's going to install itself from the market anyway, and always has way to much access to your personal information as a system app. Twitter, flickr and any other apps like that, which you don't need or want as a system app, can all go too. Some devices also ship with keyboards for every language ever created, you can get rid of any that don't apply to you.

Once you've cleaned out the easy ones take your list and open up Settings -> Apps. The apks may be gone from /system, but all their data and updates are still taking up space. So to finish removing them look under the "All" tab and when you see one hit wipe cache, wipe data & uninstall.

Now just return to the recovery so you can wipe your dalvik-cache and create another nandroid. If you want to clean even more this will give you a good checkpoint to revert back to if needed.

We need to start with baby steps so a skeleton for the I9506 is the first prio.

oh btw, I don't have KNOX enabled on my phone, got it with 4.2.2 and won't update until there is a custom ROM without the KNOX bootloader.

Just to make things clear. There is no KNOX implemented (at least not in full) in this version. For sure we will get it with 4.3

I also removed most of the crapware that comes with the phone (removed with Root Explorer system/app), tomorrow I will see if I can try and make it deodexed so it's possible to apply themes etc..
[Galaxy S 4 General] xenix96:
well i already made a custom rom based on official currently not debloated

- deodexed

- zipaligned

- init.d system/app functionality

- no wipe etc.

the thing is i get status 6 error while flashing in cwm... status 6 is a syntax error in updater-script(edify) absolon and me try to fix that i hope then we got a base for future development

Hi

I downloaded your files and looked at them. Then I got the Hardware info app and used it. As far as I can see, after just making a quick compare...There is no difference..your CPU frequency is the same as mine: 2265 MHz...camera 12.8 MP and so on.

Mine is rooted, no KNOX info shown in DL mode only some qualcomm security info that did not change during rooting. All counters normal/official. Still on 4.2.2 and will stay there until we have found a solution.

I have frozen a lot of apps using TB including the Push service. I have no problems what so ever. Had some problems when I DeOdexed the apps but I think it was due to I also removed a lot of other things...

TA shows info I have not seen since on the SGS2, before JB. Very interesting. My phone is not carrier locked and has never been.

I'll be back.

The play store -110 issue is not knox related nor is samsung related it's a play store issue.

[I'm helping to tell developers how they can protect their app from being pirated and how they can protect it, in that way you can consider to not worry about your app being patched. too many developers have a bad protection.]
[Galaxy S 4 General] Absolon:
Don't make it a day job since soon all apps will go through Samsung's version of "App-store" when their new iDroid comes.

And stopping piracy is like standing on the road trying to stop an running buss with your hands. It IS too easy now but then the next copy protection will come and the new group will take the challenge.

I've seen this since I was a kid and I got my C64 in 82 and copied my first tape with a "double decker".

The not cracked program today is Cubase 7 (and some derivatives). Cuebase 5 took a year to crack (I think there is a Youtube about that).

Autocad had a dongle that was "The end of piracy" but that got emulated. "Steam" was the end of PC-game piracy, MM, right.

I rather spend time not to end up in a Gattaca/1984 kind of world then piracy, but that is my view.

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
I remember my first Android. HTC Thunderbolt. I was in Iraq (Camp Ramadi, to be specific) and my contract with Verizon was suspended during my deployment, so I bought it on launch day for full retail of $750 online. Prior to that, I had the Blackberry Tour, and prior to that a Motorola Windows CE phone. Since the Thunderbolt, I got a Wildfire S (never do THAT again), a Galaxy S II i777, Blaze 4G, and Galaxy S II i989. If my next device isn't a Nexus, it'll probably be a Sony or Motorola. As much as I love the Blaze and S II's, Samsung is starting to become a burden with their blobs and lets face it, their last couple flagships have been shoddy at best, at least construction-wise. And the big center physical buttons? What is this, 2010? Nobody wants that. At least, I don't.

[Micromax A110] sierrarohan:
Hi Bro, First, Instead of creating a new thread, post your problem in another thread to avoid mess of threads.

As for your problem, if you are using Wi-Fi to access internet, then it's speed depends upon your ISP. You cannot just increase it unless you upgrade to a high speed plan.

Now if, you are using Wi-Fi to access local files via LAN, then its speed depends on the Router configuration and your medium's R/W speeds.

Kindly check those and ensure that every settings are in order.

Hope this will help yoou!
[Micromax A110] Salman_nasu:
U can increase your wifi speed a little bit by changing the dns server to google dns.
