[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] no1_cdn:
Hey

I emailed both, Wind Mobile and Motorola Canada, asking if and when will Moto G be available on any other carriers in Canada. Got same reply from both:

"We don't know." LOL

From what I've read some reports said Telus had a months head start, some said two months, before other carriers get it. So that puts it around holiday season or in January... Hopefully Wind will be one of them.

Anyone have the AOKP Dirty Unicorn ROM that they can shared with me. For some reason I can't get the Spyder version . Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] tal360ca:
I am having multiple problems with my Galaxy Note 2, after connecting the Galaxy Gear. All my media and ringtones play through the front-facing speaker grille, the "Find my Device" feature doesn't work, and when I try to play music through the Stock Music App, I get a message saying "Unable to play during call".. It is as if Stock Android is handling the gear as a headset, instead of Samsung Gear Manager.

I have a WIND Mobile T889v, and I tried Stock WIND 4.3 ROM, Stock T-Mobile 4.3 ROM, and Stock International 4.3 ROM (De-Knoxed)..

I think it may be the problem with the kernel? I am running Devil2 kernel, even tried multiple versions.

The weird thing is that I didn't have this problem for the first few days, then I got it, it somehow went away by itself, and now the problem consists throughout multiple ROMs. I even reset both the Gear and the Note 2 multiple times. I really dont want to return it because I love the Gear, but this is really frustrating..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] saqibniaz:
I was getting the same error "Unable to play during call".

By killing Hangouts from Application Manager, music starts playing normally.

I turned off Hangouts to permanently resolve the issue.

Hit Thanks!, if it helps

I'm sick of this junk phone!!!

It's locked and I have no idea who told those guys from the development section that it can be rooted even if bootloader is locked, couse i'll be damn if it worked for me.:confused:

I tryed every option shown and none worked.

Hell it dosen't even show me the restore option, every time I have to manualy go to settings and hit restore.

And in <<only one>> option I get the RootMe restore option, the one for those with open bootloader...

And I also get a lot of error in the command promt, and that shouldn't happen.

Dose anyone have any suggestions or anything? Couse I can't talk with those guys due to this new user thing... X(

I can't use it, can't sell it, I swear that for 200E that it cost me, i'll throw it away

The "soft" mod is no longer an option for many other devices not only smartphones. The method you guys have here is usless for phones that have the bootloader phisicaly locked by sony!!!

I'm looking for a way to bypass the sony lock, the hard way...

Where are those old fonefreekz when you need them... :(

And is very unpolite to call someone a noob only "cus u" think he knows no s***. I was cracking phones long before Android was publicaly released...

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pirej:
I found this after 2 minutes searching xda...

The guide is for Xperia U 6.1.1.B.1.10 , i don't know what firmware do you have.. so if its any newer than 6.1.1.B.1.10 than you should just flash ONLY the kernel for 6.1.1.B.1.10 , then follow this guide till the end, then after root is achieved.. flash back the original kernel for your version of firmware.

I always root this way, and i never had any problems , just before rooting set the display of your phone to NOT turn off for at least 5 minutes, not 30 seconds as it is at default.

I have some kernels if you need them :)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bumslayer:
Remember to calm down first, so your head will be clear. I was also exasperated when I was unable to root my phone with .54 kernel. I had a lot of difficulties because I am on ubuntu 13.10 and I had to first properly install the packages required by flashtool. After a gruelling 3 days of failures I decided to step back a while so I could calm down and relax. Finally I got my phone rooted after I redownloaded a .10 kernel.

In this thread i have seen a lot of Correct answers for you ;) i even used them and managed to root my Xperia U st25i with 1.54 firmware aswell the kernel is essential in it to so take some time and relax read the threads properly and even if something fails to download Search on XDA or google and u will have so much correct answers that u will be amazed of ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MnM:
if u are on .54 fw then u need to download .10 kernel and flash it via flashtool and then use bin4ry's method (restoring the RootMe file) and then reflash the .54 kernel

Android 4.x and Windows 8.x dual boot

I know this would be considered overkill but my curiosity is simply if it can be done?. It would be cool to rock both KitKat and Windows 8.x on the same slate. Maybe the Android versions of the venue can share drivers. Who knows, I'm just putting the thought out there.

it would be pretty sweet with android dual boot!
[Windows 8 General] paperWastage:
it's not big enough to warrant it's own (sub) forum... maybe you can convince the admins to add one for Bay Trail devices

it can be done. just takes time (and money :D)

someone should try to see if the bootia32 hack needs to be done for the Venue Pro line too (BIOS/UEFI only recognizes 32-bit bootloaders). or send me their device and let me play with it. microcenter has an open box venue 8 pro for $185, might be tempted to buy one now

Please note this is a repeat of a post I just made in the Wizard forum. When all finished I will copy and paste and reduce it back to one to save space. - Thx, Joe

Hi,

I wondered if there is a program I could use to switch off my device, or alternatively could switch off a program after a specified amount of time.

My vision: to use my Wizard (or Universal) to get me off to sleep, as I would a clock radio. When using my clock radio, I set the sleep timer to an hour or whatever and it switches itself off when my hour's dozing is done.

So far I have got some decent radio station URLs for both WMP and Real player, which mean I have the radio part through WiFi to my device by my bed all sorted, but I don't seem to be able to find anything that will switch off the device after a pre-specified length of time.

If any coder has a spare half hour I assume (???) this is a simple task to write, and I will buy you a pint or three in return.

Basic spec would be:

input sleep timer time

countdown to zero

switch off device

Mort Saver is sooo close to it, but can only take 2 digits in the time field and they are seconds not minutes, so 3600 seconds for my hour's listening isn't saved, and it counts down from 36

I also heard how PHM Pocket Plus grinds down WM5 to an unuseable point, so I spose that one's out of the picture as well.

I reckon a lot of people would either benefit from this type of program, or alternatively already have found something which I haven't.

Tell you what, if anyone can do it, I will donate to the forum 10Euro.

Cheers,

Jo
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cj95zz:
are there anyone developing a Omnirom for our S3? the international s3 got one but i canty seem to find any for the carriers although the note 2 has builds for every version?

Just curious since the rom does look nice
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xXshur1kenXx:
I;ve searched far and wide and I don't think there is any Omni for the S3. Quantum Rom is really amazing though!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Aerowrx:
This is done on a phone that was updated to 4.3 OTA from AT&T.

I followed the instructions and installed TWRP 2.6.3.0 and SuperSU and Knox Remover. I verified that the phone was rooted using root checker. I proceeded to do a Factory Reset, and Wiped the System and started running the Install on the Gummy 4.4 ROM i had saved to the phone's /sdcard. However, it fails. I try to install CM11 ROM from external SD Card and it fails.

What should I do now? TWRP had essentially erased the Android OS from my phone and the NANDROID backup recovery won't recover due to it being a backup of OTA 4.3! Should I try to reinstall a stock 4.3?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Franky_V:
I had this issue too. I think it's something in the updater script that is in error.

In order to flash a 4.4+ ROM you need TWRP 2.6.3.1 OR the latest CWM.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrewReaLee:
When I open Titanium Backup on my Nexus 7, the system ROM only has 27.1 MB free out of 670 MB. The free space seems to decrease each time I update and root my Nexus 7. Should I be concerned about this or is there anyway to free up space from the system ROM? Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, DrewReaLee...

I wouldn't worry about it... my 'grouper' 16Gb Nexus 7, running rooted KitKat 4.4.2 with franco kernel, is showing similar figures to yours...

25.7Mb free out of 639Mb

(27,029,504 bytes free/670,826,496 bytes total system capacity)

Google are no different than other software companies when it comes to OS updates... they have a tendency to 'grow', with each new update/release. And Android is not immune from this tendency to expand...

...for example... I have a 3 year old HTC Wildfire, running Android 2.2.1 FroYo... I just use it as a spare 'phone these days. And it still works pretty good as such.

...but Android fits comfortably into it's allocated system partition of just 250Mb, with 50.28Mb's to spare! That's megabytes... not gigabytes!!! And that's not just pure Android either... it also includes HTC's Sense 'skin'. All in less than a quarter of a gig!

Today, Android devices are measured in gigabytes, not megabytes... I don't have the second generation Nexus 7 2013, but I would hazard a guess that the system partition is larger than 640Mb. I wonder how long it will be, before Android devices start shipping with NAND storage measured in terabytes...

Anyway, back on topic... removing stuff from /system is not a good idea, as it will interfere with any future OTA updates... assuming of course, Google see fit to grace the old Nexus 7 with any further updates after KitKat:).

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterslacker:
Umm, GedBlake, given that the largest size Nexus 7 2013 is 32gb, it would be impossible for the system partition to be 640gb. I don't know exactly since I don't own one, but it's probably around 1gb. I doubt that we'll ever get as high as terabytes for flash storage... There will probably be a new technology by then!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2kst:
Stock, rooted, 4.4.2, 32gb 2012 wi-fi (grouper). Shows 26.2 free ...of 639 MB total
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, masterslacker...

Yep, you're right. My mistake... for some reason, I had it in my head when I wrote my post, that system was measured in gigabytes and not megabytes. Not quite sure where I got that from:confused:. That post has now been corrected. It also means that, as you say, the possibility of Android devices ever shipping with terabytes of storage are very unlikely indeed.

Thanks for the correction.

Rgrds,

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyhunter88:
I am using Kitkat 4.4.2 and the same situation. But I want more ROM space to flash some mod (WALKMAN and Launcher Port) but they required more System ROM. What about the best solution? Can I delete/uninstall some apps, or increase/extend my ROM space by some trick?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I posted a "top 40 by space" list for 4.4.2 stock in this post

I didn't really give any recommendations, but I would certainly avoid deleting any library files. How about removing these apps?

app/QuickOffice.apk 12,919,557 bytes

app/Hangouts.apk 10,903,908 bytes

app/Chrome.apk 10,417,331

app/YouTube.apk 7,531,998

app/Maps.apk 7,455,155

and maybe "Magazines", "Books", "Currents", too?

Certainly Chrome, YouTube, and Maps can be installed as market apps if you want to use them, but don't want them installed as "System" apps. I don't know about the others listed above (apparently some apps won't function correctly when you re-install the .apk as user/market apps).

If you do this kind of thing by hand, you probably also want to delete the:

1) corresponding Dalvik Cache entries in /cache/dalvik-cache/

2) corresponding application data folder in /data/data/

3) corresponding stuff in /data/app-lib/

before you re-install the .apk into /data/app.

Obviously, modding a Stock ROM will quite possibly break the update-ability (use of OTAs). But that's nor really a big surprise.

Make a full Nandroid backup before you start, name it in a meaningful way (so you know what it is in a couple months) and get a copy of it off the tablet.

good luck

[HTC One S] nez762:
Hey guys. Ive been debating for so long whether I should update to the new 2.16 HBOOT. I am currently running 2.15. If i update will I be able to run older roms like ViperOneS and so on. I know that I cant run Maximus on 2.15 so i was just wondering if the opposite is true. Thanks
[HTC One S] tivofool:
No, you will have to revert back to old firmware to run the ROMs that require 2.15 HBoot.

I have done it 2 different times, so it isn't hard.

My prefered way is to put stock recovery on and do a factory reset. Then I run a RUU. From there I flash a custom recovery and the ROM I want to try out.
[HTC One S] nez762:
Why would you have to put stock recovery to run an RUU? Arent you S-OFF?
[HTC One S] tivofool:
Yep, I haven't just run the ruu only to see if everything goes back to normal.

A factory reset from bootloader with stock recovery in place is overkill, but I have the files in a folder and just takes a minute extra to be safe.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gerbig:
I've been having an issue since the 4.4.1 update. I primarily use Textra for SMS/MMS and it's set as the default. However, I'm on a limited texting plan and use Google Voice for a few of the people I text with most frequently.

I have direct message shortcuts on my homepage for my main contacts. I used to (before the 4.4.1 update) be able to click them and get prompted for what program to use, Textra, Google Voice, anything else. Now, it always defaults to Textra.

I can go clear the defaults in Settings-Apps-Textra-Clear Defaults and it works normally for a few minutes. However, it always seems to set Textra back as the default SMS client eventually.

I'm trying to figure out a way to let my direct message shortcuts work again. I've factory reset and set up just enough to let me test again (Textra, Google Voice and a direct message shortcut), but it still does the same thing. I've tried with other SMS clients (8SMS, Hangouts) and the behavior is the same.

Can anyone think of a way to fix this? Is there a way to automate the Textra-Clear Defaults? Is there a way to create a Google Voice direct message shortcut? A way to fix Kit Kat so that I can use whatever texting app I want?

I'm running rooted stock so root solutions are fine. Would I have better luck with CM or something based off of it?

Thanks for any feedback!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PandemicHD:
Earlier today my phone was working fine running Stock 4.4.1/Kernel. I decided I wanted to get the franco kernel so I got the .img file from the xda thread. I flashed the .img file onto the boot partition using fastboot, and restarted my phone. After a few minutes of sitting at the "Google" screen I rebooted into the bootloader. I tried flashing the 4.4 factory image using the "flash-all.bat" without wiping anything. My phone continued to get stuck at the "Google" screen after multiple reboots. I then tried to wipe my device using fastboot. However, when using the command "fastboot erase system" I got an error that said "Failed: unknown chunk type." I kept on retrying the wipe to no avail. I found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2347060 and followed the steps. All the steps seemed to work up until I had to flash the given factory image using fastboot. I got the same "Unknown chunk type" when the cmd was trying to write files to the "system partition." Before you ask, yes my fastboot/adb is updated to the newest version. (I triple checked) And all my drivers work properly. I just flashed the 4.4.1 firmware 3 days ago using fastboot and everything went perfectly, including the wipe. Please offer any solutions you think could get me out of this situation. Thank you. :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evdrmr:
Flash the factory images and erase all partitions on the device. If you want to get some data from the internal memory you could pull it through recovery. Next time read more do less. Franko's kernel uses different ram disk than the stock one. You could also try to flash a full stock kernel for your build first. Get it from the factory images and flash it through fastboot.
