I have read about this from a galaxy mega thread and I was just wondering if our XZU is equipped with this..

They are going to speeds of up to 46mbps on downloads using only HSPA Dual Carrier Mode which is faster than 4g

How do we enable this on our XZU?

Tried searching for answers for our XZU but did not return anything.

Thanks in advance!

I had installed cwm with freegee then I flashed philz touch. everything was working fine. I restored a backup (slimbean 4.3), rom booted and was running fine. then I flashed a font and I ended up in a bootloop.. I then booted into recovery and wiped everything like I normally do when installing a new rom or restoring a backup. I restored my backup and now whenever I choose reboot phone it just reboots back into recovery. Is there anything I can try without having to completely start from scratch?
[LG Optimus G Pro] psal217050:
Go back to CWM from Freegee and restore your back up.
[LG Optimus G Pro] deadenz:
How would I do that? and I'm not sure that would work. everything has been working fine with restoring backups and flashing new roms. I've only had this problem because I flashed a font zip and it may have not been compatible
[LG Optimus G Pro] psal217050:
You should have another recovery, either CWM or TWRP on your phone from before Philz recovery don't you? Boot into recovery, flash one of them and flash a rom.
[LG Optimus G Pro] deadenz:
yeah I installed cwm with freegee and used that for awhile.. then I flashed cwm advanced edition philz touch for e980 and as I said everything worked fine, flashing roms, restoring backups. I was on bs harmony 4.4 and flashed a font zip file and it worked fine. a little while ago I wiped everything thru recovery like normal and restored my slimbean 4.3 backup, it booted fine and I ended up going back to recovery and flashing the same font zip file and that's when I ended up in a bootloop.. I removed battery and booted into recovery wiped everything and tried to restore both backups but it only resulted in a cwm bootloop, everytime I reboot it boots back into cwm advanced edition philz touch
[LG Optimus G Pro] psal217050:
And you're positive that you don't have another recovery like madmack's hacked TWRP on your phone somewhere? I have it, TWRP 2.6.3, CWM all on my phone and have switched because of different roms. Look hard or you might need to start over.
[LG Optimus G Pro] deadenz:
no I'm not positive.. I assumed that when I flashed philz touch it installed over the freegee cwm that I installed.. am I wrong? if so how would I go about booting into the freegee cwm that I originally installed? when booting the phone and holding the volumedown, power, and home button it automatically boots into the philz touch cwm
[LG Optimus G Pro] psal217050:
You mean power, volume +, and home.? Freegee is probably gone.
[LG Optimus G Pro] deadenz:
yeah that's what I meant, sorry. so what should I do? is my only option to start over and install original kdz?
[LG Optimus G Pro] psal217050:
Maybe you can sideload one of the recoveries. One of the posts on the attached discusses that option. Otherwise it is the LG flashtool.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] droidshadow:
Hey xda developers!

So guys i was really taken in by the ElementalX kernel and all the hard work that put into that project. I am in need of a rooted rom that is based on Android Kit Kat (4.4+).

Now i have tried putting the ElementalX kernel on Cyanogenmod 11 (nightly build 4.4.2) on my Nexus 7 2013 32GB wifi only model FLO build KRT16S but the kernel made the ROM for the most part unstable. After flashing the elementalX kernel on CM11 (wiped dalvik/cache) i would get this ugly blue color and blocks on black and pink on my N7 screen and then 3-4 minutes Cyanogenmod 11 would boot up. Now i can tell the kernel took because all of my icons changed color and i checked the kernel in settings :p

However, after flashing the ElementalX kernel on CM11 it was very very laggy. I have tried for the most part all options...

I tried low settings high settings, and all stock options which all ended in the same result -> laggy.

Okay so if Cyanogenmod 11 is not a good candidate for ElementalX (most likely was my fault but moving on) can one of you great guys or gals please let me know what KitKat based ROM you are using with your ElementalX kernel?

Requirements for ROM:

very simple...

has to be pre-rooted

has to be Kit Kat based

I really appreciate any input or advice you can offer me...

Also what settings are you using for your Nexus 7 with your ElementalX ROM?...

Maybe its just how i am setting up my kernel but i did try almost every option for Cyanogenmod 11 which is why i want to try and start testing other Kit Kat Based Roms.

Thank you all so much for your time and your assistance...

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ezas:
CleanROM is a very good ROM to try before trying any others. It does not have a ton of features, actually very few, but it is fast and stable.

A lot of people run CR with ElementalX. (I do). It's the kernel that the CR dev recommends.

I also like Sinless ROM which has lots more options. But if this is your first custom ROM start with CLeanROM. The people in the CR Thread are very helpful if when you have questions.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] manudo:
Wow, dude you got so SO many questions, it's just an instict, just do it!

Nah, nevermind.

You can skip 3a and 3b.

You know what is CWM, right? You have to flash it in order to get JB.

About the backups, man, I can't tell you because I never did one before, someone may reply to it.

Here's something that I want to tell you, don't be afraid, follow the tutorial as it goes, don't EVER flash nothing that's not intended for your phone and if something wrong happens, here in this forum can help you in any situation, almost all problems here it just reflash or wipes and that's all.

And be brief, please, people will apreciate it.

If any more questions, feel free to ask. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] F-16akias:
Hello Manudo,

thanks for replying.Yes I know what cwm is :)

Yeap but then DRM keys will be lost and track id and many other sony crap might not work, although there is one thread with a flashing zip..

Dude so many questions? It's 7 questions, the only big is the descpription! Btw I think it is better to ask 7 questions in ONE thread rather than having seven threads. It's called space saving.

Unless my questions are answered I do not think I 'll proceed with Android upgrade. Btw I found that the latest avast made my mobile a little bit "lighter" and google+ and facebook updates seem RAM killers!

Moko Slim Folding Case

Pros:

1. Case fits well.

2. No part of the screen is obscured by the case.

3. All ports, buttons are accessible with case on, with exception of SD Card slot.

4. Works with Quick Cover feature of GPad.

5. Magnetic closure is strong enough to hold the cover closed with any normal handling

6. Elastic strap can be used to secure cover closed or open.

7. Landscape mode stand position is very stable.

Cons:

1. Only one standing position in landscape mode.

2. No standing position in portrait mode.

3. Hand strap is tight if you have a large hand. This may loosen up with use.

4. SD Card slot is difficult to get to with case on.

I see these as features, you may not.

1. When the case is open and held in portrait mode the case can be folded so that there is about 1/2 inch sticking out from the edge. I find myself using this to hold the tablet.

2. The power button and volume control are accessible, but are recessed a bit. For me this means I don't accidentally hit them when holding the tablet.

Note: The pictures displayed with the case at Amazon on 12/13/13 are accurate.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] dwd3885:
thanks. looking at this case now.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] rdjack21:
Ordered this case yesterday so your revew makes me feel better about that. Now I just wish it would hurry up and get here.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] RobilarOCN:
Thanks for the review. In my opinion the case is flat out ugly but everyone has different preferences for what they like their tablets it so am glad you like it.

Plus there are so few cases out, I'm handling my tablet like it is made out of eggshells until the case comes in.

I prefer the thin cases, Moko does a great one for the Tab 3 8.0, very IPad Mini style.

That is what I was looking for with the LG (so far only the VOIA seems to fit and it cost me $50 shipped, way too much for an aftermarket case).

Asuxtek is supposed to have one out on Amazon.ca but the pic for it is wrong so no way to know what it really looks like.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] marvin02:
I have been using the cover since December and it has not gotten any prettier :D, but it does a great job protecting the tablet and I still like it :good:. I haven't looked for anything to replace it.

EDIT:

Okay that was fixed with using the latest PhilZ advanced CWM ver 6 :)

hi there

i have exactly the same problem

im using PhilZ CWM and tried to flash the OMNIROM for GT-N5100

My Galaxy is all new and this is my first time to flash an android device

flashing the root pack and the PhilZ CWM worked like a charm, but if i try to flash the ROM for my GT-5100 it rants about "this for for kona-3g, this is device kona-wifi"

I triple-checked the build-info in the device settings, and it says everywhere "GT-N5100" - even at bootup

The ROM im trying to use is named like :

omniß4.4.20131224ßn5100-homemade.zip

im using Philz Touch 5 CWM 6 version CivZ 1.1

error is :

THis package is for "GT-N5100,kona3g..." device this is a "konawifi" (status 7)

Any ideas ??

I finally got the last zip of PhilZ Touch recovery, extracted it to get the recovery.img file and launched the following command: sudo heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img

Because I am undr Mac osX and do not have Odin, so I use heimdall instead. Hope it will help

I had the same issue too. I am back with CM11 nightly with some messing around.

1. Used Oden3 v3.07 and installed CivZ-Touch-6.0.4.4-Odin-5110_5100-REV1.1.tar

2. From recovery I installed philz_touch_6.41.6-n5110.

3. Rebooted, wiped, and installed my CM nightly from the main CM site (& gapps)

I used info and downloaded from Droid Views website. (cant post links yet)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hansof:
On all my PCs, I have known how much storage space is at my disposal. But not on the Universal.

The user manual states that the device has

ROM: 128 Mb RAM: 64 Mb

But using Settings -> System -> Memory, I get the information that the space is 43.72 Mb for storage and 47.93 Mb for programs.

That makes almost 91 Mb. What is the relationship between these 91 Mb and the ROM and RAM? And when I use File Explorer (or Total Commander), I cannot see any distinction between areas for storage and programs.

Can anybody remove my confusion?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
Welcome to the world of Windows Mobile 5...

128 MB ROM is divided into space for the operating system (+- 64 MB) and persistent storage (this is where you have 43.72 MB available). Persistent storage will preserve your data even when the battery is flat.

The RAM is no longer user controllable, and you cannot (easily) store anything there. So the 47.93 MB for programs is purely informational. No more slider where you can shift between storage and program memory.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
obviously you are new... but please, research and read the existing thousands of discussion and contributions by hundreds of people on this same topic.

it is expired, old and tedium when the answers are here, over and over and over again.

there is a search function, it works try it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Pocketpcdubai:
Here's how it goes:

he Universal comes with 128MB ROM and 64MB RAM as compared to its predecessors who had the exact opposite.

The 128MB ROM is divided into 2 parts:

1) OS + Extended ROM (around 84MB)

2) Storage (remaining 43.5MB as shown above

The 64MB RAM is 90% available to run programs. As with the earlier version of the OS, there is no longer a provision to alter the memory allocated between storage and program memory. Of the 64MB RAM, around 15MB RAM is used for running the OS while the rest (47.93 MB) is left for running installed programs. This is more than enough to do multi-tasking without hiccups.

Hope this helps :) If you still have any queries about it, please feel free to ask.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ArgyleMoss:
hansof feel free to ask anything you want, we arent all smart arses like simon_dreary. In my experience the search function is rubbish.

Hello,

I've sort of asked this question before but when I flash stock rom with wipe data checked on flashtool does it wipe data before the phone is switched on or does it have to be turned on to activate the reset because the phone wont turn on because I broke the battery connector lol if you know how the wipe data works please explain, I dont want the phone to turn on, I know it can't I just wanted to know if flashtool wipes data before the phone gets switched on lol sorry bit of a weird question :P

I don't normally suggest toolkits but I see u looking at wugfreshs toolkit so im guessing you are half way familiar with it. Use the flash back to stock with the soft bricked section checked. You are OK just take your time and breath and read before you really mess up your phone. You obviously are getting way ahead of yourself and doing things you don't understand. That's a great way to hard brick your brand new shiny toy.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CollinsB:
Hi all! I had an E4GT and I can say that I am comfortably experienced in flashing roms and all that fun stuff. Though I got a Sprint GNote 3, and Im thinking of getting it rooted sometime this week. Though before I do so I wanna make sure I do my homework, and get comfortable in the GNote 3 world. So if anyone could help me out I had some questions specifically about kernels and recoveries :)

So...

1.) one of the biggest questions I had was I know that the Kernel and recovery are separate. So how do I go about flashing recoveries?

I know that there is flashify in app market which a lot of people use to flash twrp. Though can I also safely use odin>PDA box to do so as well.

2.) And for Flashify and Odin which file do i use. img.tar for both?

3.) Will flashing a recovery via PC odin trigger yellow triangle on start up?

4.) Im assuming you can still use PC odin> PDA box to flash .tar kernels. Will this trigger triangle as well?

5.) though it seems that devs on note 3 page, have taken a favor to .zip files to flash in twrp rather then .tar, so is it generally safe to flash these .zip kernels in twrp?

and lastly, I have to say, ive been using the note 3 for several weeks and LTE seems to be everywhere and it is very fast. Browsing the web has been a breeze on this device. So im concerned that my note 3 being on anything other than Stock kernel will interfere with its performance, as ive read of some bugs here and there. Basically my question is do most people find that the custom kernels out there are buggy, and do you think I would be better off with stock kernel for now. If not what stable kernels do you recommend?

Thank you for puttin up with this somewhat tedious post, I just want to make sure I have all the info i need, so I dont mess up this beautiful device. So any responses, and clarification would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)
