[Nexus 7 (2013) General] anantk1965:
While trying to flash KOT49E OTA zip file update using TWRP from KRT16S to KOT49E, process failed with an error like:

"/system/bin/debuggerd" has unexpected contents."

I have not modified the system partition. I have ROOT access. Not sure which app modified the file. I am using "USB OTG HELPER" app and not StickMount app. There is "/system/bin/debuggerd_bak" file present but it is exactly same as "/system/bin/debuggerd".

Can somebody, please post original debuggerd file from KRT16S image?

Got the KRT16S debuggerd file from thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2534698. Replaced it in the Nexus 7 2013 "/system/bin" folder and flashed the KOT49E OTA zip. Successfully updated to KOT49E.

Thanks a lot to sfhub.

[Moto X Q&A] bmszabo:
Battery eater, as hell.. Chronos much lighter on battery consumption, gives good info on sleep time (sweet!), but no info on exercise (jogging, bike), which should be nice..

After frustrating myself with battery flat at 4 PM (moves) I got back to Chronos, but still looking for a good movement, activity tracker!

Btw: UP was broken after 6 months of use - just as everybody's else (see the forums) ; idea was great, product sh.t..
[Moto X Q&A] heymecalvy:

Anyone find a good app yet? I'm using j4velin's pedometer app, which takes advantage of the Nexus 5's built in pedometer sensor, which works incredibly well without any significant battery drain.

Is that sensor specific to the Nexus 5? Is there no similar situation for the Moto X? Moves seems to be universally a battery destroyer

It use 8% of my battery in a day (About 8-10km in a day im walking). That's not too much for app, that always work. With GPS tracks on map.

Hello guys :)

I'll be thankful to you if you can just provide me the link of [4.x][27-SEP][Xperia Media][Dolby][Voodoo] CodexUltimate™ HD v5.2 "end of the line" for 4.3

the link is available in the official forum but it is dead :/

[General Questions and Answers] id4rox:
I've been enjoying a medley of roms through the XDA forums for a little over a year now. While I'm always appreciative of the hard work others do for the community, I often wonder, what is it about androidfilehost.com that makes it a popular upload location for so many people? The download speeds for me from this site (and its mirrors) are so slow compared to just about any other, which make it a bear for downloading large roms, and some uploaders go so far to upload there and request no one mirror/re-upload anywhere else.

I get that if you sign up for the site you would expect better speeds, but as a free upload site for distribution, it seems pretty mediocre in terms of speed. I'm not intending to knock the site or anyone whatsoever, just looking for some additional info on why a seemingly slow site is so widely used.
[General Questions and Answers] mitchellaneous:
I'm sitting here waiting for a ROM to finish downloading from one of the androidfilehost mirrors and I'm wondering the same thing. It looks like there's 6 mirrors hosting the file I want, and all but one of them don't seem to download any faster than ~250KBps. One starts out close to 1MB but quickly drops to 300KB. I don't get it. Is there some kind of ad revenue or incentive for the people hosting their files there?
[General Questions and Answers] dr3adl0ckd:
I think the reason most use is bc its secure probably wont be shut down like some of the other hosting sites, and the amount of mirrors available in the states
[General Questions and Answers] oxb:
I agree,

If the developers make money of the link to AFH than i understand, if not then i do not understand the uploads to AFH.

Now downloading 500mb rom wich is gonna take 2 hours to complete on a 100MBit fiberline.

Already had one disconnected download in the past,

3 hours!!!! of downloading and the last 1% it failed?

Unreal frikking slow downloads why not upload to usenet also?

I know not everyone has a payserver but it wouldt make it a whole lot easier.
[General Questions and Answers] norenester:
standby... searching for mirrors....

I have been waiting 10 minutes for this to connect to a mirror. Haven't had any luck.

Tried:

Different browser

Different computer

Different network

Different file on AFH

Disabled Symantec

AFH is garbage!
[General Questions and Answers] ttangar:
Second that....AFH is very very slow and frustrating

I have tried downloading roms from there and now at multiple instances downloads failed after 50%. 50% of which was downloaded at speed of about 21 kbps. which is way less than any other download i do (above 300kbps).

Isnt it better to host ROMs torrents which way downloads can be better managed.

Please consider this.:):)

[General Questions and Answers] amakuramio:
it sucks balls, but the benefit is at least the links stay alive for a loooong time. I'd prefer mega or mediafire, though

androidfilehost, sometimes I have to try for hours to download a few megabyte file, sigh
[General Questions and Answers] TechNash:
Nah! Mega will double the time of a download. Not worth it imo
[General Questions and Answers] felixlee0530:
Yeah.. I agree.. It continuously freezes, ROM downloads constantly fail with a network error, and Chrome always shows me a message of: "Your connection is reset."

I extremely hate AFH!! Mega or Google Drive would be much, much better. (Whatever, Google Drive is the best ever.)
[General Questions and Answers] TechNash:
Google Drive is okay, but not when you live in Iceland (i used to) anyways XDA should setup a torrent website, so they you can download files WAY faster.
[General Questions and Answers] felixlee0530:
Yeah.. sometimes torrent shows full download speed whereas downloading files in Chrome sometimes has speed drops, but I'm kinda worried about the negative effects of Torrent..

When I leave the seeding after the download is done, are my private files uploaded secretly to other websites?
[General Questions and Answers] TechNash:
That depends on the torrent you use.

Don't EVER use torrents that allow you to buy a pro version.

Try qbittorent which is free and recommended by many people.

If anything, try to avoid µTorrent as this will install bloatware along with advertisements and sharing public info.

Just do research and you will be a-okay. If you don't trust me for whatever reason use a VPN or a free anti-virus/malware like Bitdefender free antivirus edition.
[General Questions and Answers] felixlee0530:
I'm currently using Qbittorrent, and it works like a charm. It keeps me an excellent, consistent and stable download speed. I already know the disadvantages of utorrent such as dropping speed and worse stability, (and ads) so I changed to Qbittorrent as I read a blog post suggesting the benefits of using Qbittorrent. But I recently saw some articles that important files have been leaked out to the web when the seeding (100%) is turned on for a long time.

Files are still being uploaded from my PC when it is on.
[General Questions and Answers] TechNash:
Ah! Well, my files have never been breached, but if you really are that paranoid, then right-click the file when it says 'seeding' and press 'delete.' A dialogue will pop up if you want to save your file make sure, 'delete file from hard disk' is not checked. (It isn't by default.)
[General Questions and Answers] iDroid27210:
Can't the staff apply a rule like "AndroidFileHost must not be the only download location for all your works" to all forum posts ?

It becomes insane year after year, I'm downloading around 50KB/s (I can go up to 1.3MB/s) and it even stops sometimes (and if I'm very unlucky it can completly crash too). I forgot to add that you can download... only if it finds a mirror for you (sometimes I have to refresh up to 3 times the page to get the only Québec available servers that are slow as f***).

Very ironic by the way to see in the XDA's website creator interview that he has created AFH because others were a bit slow.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
AFH and XDA are closely associated, being a Recognized Contributor, Recognized Themer or Recognized Developers here at XDA even gets you a free "developer account" with unlimited space at AFH just for being a recognized member. Obviously, the Recognized members would use that to store their developments and share their work here, just because it's convenient and free.
[General Questions and Answers] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Personally I think AFH as one of the biggest **** ever when it comes to download bigger files. It is not only slow but often breaks downloading. What a piece of garbage compared to the Google Drive.
[General Questions and Answers] dbm8:
Oh god, it's slower than dial up...

At this rate it'll take full 24 hours to download 1 GB, assuming it won't drop this download alltogether. There are no slower places to host a file in the whole world by now. Literally anything is better than that tarpit...

Oh yes, now it stopped completely for a whole 2 minutes without a single bit dripping from there... Great! Just great...

And it just keeps doing that.

_________________

And now it dropped before 100MB. Again.

AFH is totally and completely useless.

What's the use of being convinient for uploaders and developers when it's totally useless for downloaders? It's like dropping your work into a black hole, /dev/null

Can anyone Help, I'm looking for the Stock s4 19500 XXUEMJ5 Kernel, as you may know Hot File is now dead and I can't seem to find one. After checking the "fake system status" option in wanam Xposed I was surprised to see after reboot a package update downloading, I try install the update via CWM recovery but the android robot has a cardiac arrest, I'm assuming the install needs to be installed via the Stock recovery to work, (right or wrong?). Anyone know where I may find the Stock Kernel/recovery or does anyone know a trick to install via CWM recovery.

Many Thanks in advance.:)

Try this:

BEWARE, THIS WILL SET YOUR PHONE BACK TO STOCK YOU WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR DATA

So, I was in pretty much the same situation as you are in. Here's what I did

First, Download, and install Odin 1.85 (here's a direct Download Link):

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...soCwCQ&usg=AFQjCNF7sF0f2yJp0IxHp1ISlP2fzGKhtw

Extract it to a good location. Your Desktop will work

Next, Download the ORIGINAL Jellybean Stock Files from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2504311

(here's a direct link: https://mega.co.nz/#!WEEzSA7Z!aB46731_AwM7P83eMdDlmFYd1hUZfFBcQAZjc1X7wAE )

Then, extract the files that is within the MF3 Tars file into their own seperate file.

Open up Odin 1.85

Make sure that your Phone is connected (It will be under the ID:COM, section).

Click Bootloader, and browse to the file location in which you saved the MF3 Tar Files.

Select the file named: BOOTLOADER_I337UCUAMF3_812098_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

For PDA, use: PLATFORM_I337UCUAMF3_812098_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

*NOTE: IT MAY FREEZE UP A LITTLE BIT. BE PATIENT!!!!

For Phone, use: MODEM_I337UCUAMF3_812098_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

For CSC, use: CSC_ATT_I337ATTAMF3_812098_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

Then Click Start, and Hope/Pray.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cbjjensen:
Hmm.. I wouldn't call it useless. It all depends on what you're trying to get out of your phone. If your idea of the 'perfect phone' is one that requires root, and custom Roms, then rooting becomes less useful. Notice I said less useful, and not useless. There are still things that can be done on a rooted phone, that cannot be done on a stock, unrooted phone. There are some apps that require root. For example: diskdigger, titanium backup, and tons more - that's just what I can think of on the spot.

Rooting still has a purpose outside of having a custom ROM, but what you can do with it does become limited with MF3 and blocked bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] HiTideBlastoise:
Rooting is still useful. You gain more control over your phone. You can freeze applications and use xposed for customization. There are a lot of apps that require root that help so much with speed and performance

Just use the software file for a sprint s4 instead

The download appears to be bad, or you didn't unzip it. Make sure the file is a tar.md5 and if it is redownload it.

Make sure you're using the specific firmware for your phone and the drivers and USB cable and ports are good.

-To send sms at the specific time (Accomplished)

-To set a database and store the sms events and so many sms events are handled

-To get the dates from Pocket Outlook database and add to mine

-Well it keeps goin as updates then
