Guys does the phone have ir-blaster?

Should I trade my N5 for a LG G2?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kroutnuk:
Yes it has and the IR Remote is very complete.

It works with almost everything.

You can easily root the SmartQ Z1 (W1) ZWatch by modifying the firmware and updating it to the watch. I don't know of any rooting tool (like framaroot) that does the job on the watch without flashing the firmware.

[CREDIT TO GEEK78]

(1) READ the [HOW TO] in this thread by geek78 who first made a root firmware.

Download his rooted firmware HERE

Extract it with WinZip or similar zip utility - you should see files and folders which include "system"

Go to "system" -> "app". Copy "superuser.apk" to somewhere else in your computer (and remember where it is)

Go to "system" -> "xbin". Copy "su" to somewhere else in your computer (and remember where it is)

==========================================

(2) Go to Smartdevice website and download the latest firmware - HERE

Extract it with WinZip or similar zip utility - you should see the same files and folders of (1)

Copy "superuser.apk" and paste it into the "system/app" folder of this unzipped new firmware

Copy "su" and paste it into the "system/xbin" folder of this unzipped new firmware, replacing the original "su" file

[OPTIONAL]

(a) If you want to remove any apps in the original firmware, you can rename them from "xxx.apk" to "xxx.apk.bak" (eg. I don't use Weather sync app (IndroidWeather.apk), Sleep app (SleepAnalysis.apk) and Health app (SmartQWatchHeath.apk)), before the following step

(b) You can also add your own apps into the system/app folder, so that you don't need to install them after updating to the new firmware

==========================================

(3) Open WinZip or similar zip utility and navigate to the folder that contains the unzipped firmware files and folders. Highlight all the files and folders ("META-INF", "system", "boot.img", "mbr-xboot.bin", "recovery.img"), and use your zip utility to compress them back into a ZIP file called "update.zip"

==========================================

(4) BEFORE FLASHING THIS MODIFIED FIRMWARE, you must follow geek78's steps:

*** YOUR MUST USE THE RESTORE TOOL TO CLEAN THE WATCH BEFORE FLASHING THE ROOTED VERSION OF A NEW FIRMWARE ***

help with restore tool

Hello I have been searching through the forums and got a little help but need more. I am having problems rooting my watch. I dl'd the restore tool, problem is one of the restore tools instructions was to install the driver in a custom path but my comp keeps auto dling the driver and I cant choose the path to install. I run the restore tool and try to boot into restore mode so the tool will recognize it but it wont do anything. What am I doing wrong and do you guys have any solutions for the install path and getting into restore so I can use the tool? Thanks in advance for your time.
[Other SmartWatches] jatkins09:
Try finding the watch in Device Manager and updating the driver manually. The driver is in this folder on Win7 x64: C:\Program Files (x86)\Smartdevices\Z1 Burn Tool\driver\x64
[Other SmartWatches] techgeek191:
Thanks for your help I tried that and it didn't work sadly. I will just have to try another comp. I have tried going to restore mode with the watch off and with it on .Do you happen to know if i did a factory restore from the watch and then used the rooted 2.2 rom from geek78 if that would work or do i absolutely have to use the restore tool to wipe first?
[Other SmartWatches] timtop:
Yes according to geek78, you must use the restore tool everytime you are installing a customized firmware. I guess the reason is that the restore tool wipes everything on the watch, allowing a clean new install.

I had no problem with installing the restore tool. When I uninstall and reinstall the tool, it remembers where the driver was, therefore I could not reproduce your problem. The best way is to try to install it on another computer eg. XP or Win7 32 bit (I heard that the 64 bit gives most problem with drivers).

If this fails, you can try (I have not tested and won't test because it is a hassle to reinstall all the apps!) to wipe the watch in recovery mode (which is really a modified CWM):

(1) You have to trick the watch to reboot into recovery first -

Find ANY file and make a zip from it called "update.zip"

You should test and see if this method works first, therefore download an official firmware from HERE - rename this file "update1.zip" (or anything other that "update.zip").

Connect your watch to your PC and transfer both files to the root of the watch.

On your watch: "About" -> "Firmware upgrade". Upgrade will fail and the watch will reboot in recovery mode.

(2) If you are familiar with CWM, you should know how to wipe user data, cache, dalvik and system. If not:

Use lower button to navigate (you can only go down, but it will circle back to the top) and upper button to execute.

Go to each of these and follow instruction to execute (choose "++++++++++ Go Back ++++++++++" to previous menu for the next item)

"Wipe data/factory reset"

"Wipe cache partition"

"Advanced" -> "Wipe dalvik cache"

"Mounts and storage" -> "format /system"

Then go back to main menu and choose "Apply update from nand" -> "choose zip from nand" -> choose "update1.zip" (or whatever name you gave to the firmware)

OPTION: you can wipe cache and dalvik again after installation (recommended by many modders)

"Reboot system now"

If update of the original firmware is successful, this means you passed the test. Now you can repeat the process using the rooted and modified firmware as "update1.zip".

THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THIS METHOD WILL WORK, but I think it should.
[Other SmartWatches] techgeek191:
Got it

Ok i finally got it. The 32 bit was the key. Thanks so much for the help. Loving it, gonna root 2.3 and install.

[Other SmartWatches] Ton.dewaal:

[Other SmartWatches] mghtymse007:
The restore tool has issues with most 64bit machines. If you don't have one, you're best bet is to find a friend or family member that has a running XP system. OR, do you know how to create a dual boot on a pc?
[Other SmartWatches] Ton.dewaal:

I can't root the watch

I tried this method several times but didn't work. after I flashed modified room the watch start OK and I can see superUser icon although the watch still not rooted, because I can't connect using: adb shell su or adb shell root.

I used a v3.5 firmware, please help me someone knows other method to root the z1 watch?

thanks in advance
[Other SmartWatches] kamillo:
Download Maja's DJDroid 6.0 rom (v3.5) , its rooted already ;)
[Other SmartWatches] aarongillion63:
Bad links

Can somebody post those Superuser.apk and su binaries? The download link to geek's rom is bogus and is forcing me to download a bunch of junk. :confused:

I have the latest Kitkat firmware (3.7) and stock ROM already has su binary thru adb. My question is can I replace those files thru adb without packaging a zip?

Thanks,
[Other SmartWatches] natarau:
Hi!

Does anyone know how to add the remote camera function in 3.7 ROM? The latest ROM that had it appears to be 3.1. I could not find it as an APK, so I think it is somehow else embedded in the ROM.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cinderbane:
So I purchased the Note III a couple of days ago and noticed it had the multitouch problems everyone was referring to. I was following a Root De La Vega guide when it said to check for this before moving forward. Moving through threads, I saw a lot of people were saying that the "new update" fixed it. I thought that this thread was referring to the MJE update, but I now know that it was referring to MJ7.

My question is, I know that you can not Odin back to previous builds from MJ7, but can you go from MJE to MJ7, then root with RDLV, use the survival mode method to keep root, then have root on MJE? If not, are there any other options other than Kingo?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neyenlives:
The inability to go backwards was after moving to MJE, you can't go back from MJE to MJ7

I think kingo is the only root method widely available today.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
DO NOT USE DE LA VEGA ON MJ7, MJE, YOU WILL END UP SOFTBRICKING YOUR PHONE, if you want root youll have to use Kingo. De la vega is meant for MI9 ONLY

You cant go back on any firmware, IE use MI9 odin or de la vega on MJ7, secure check cache fail softbrick, requires a pit flash to fix.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cinderbane:
I know that Kingo and vroot links are banned on xda for now because there was an issue with the collection of suspicious data and due to the fact that the app connects to servers that could transfer anything to your device. Is this still the case? I know that the KingoApp team was going to fix some of the data collection, but did that update ever see a release?

Thanks for the quick responses,

Abbott
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njfoses:
Kingo is fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cinderbane:
How sure are we of this? Isn't Kingo still not allowed on the forums? Can anyone else second this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njfoses:
The thousand's of people that have used kingo are sure. Any time you root your device your taking advantage of an exploit. Kingo is as safe as any other root method out there.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] student702:
Kingo confesses, repents.

Kingoapp posted an image on its Fbook timeline (Nov. 7 -- Timeline Photos Album, pics 7 and 8 of 17) The image is of what looks like a reply letter from Kingo specifically mentioning XDA forums, and how Kingo promises to be as open source as possible in the future. The English is, how you say, inelegant at times; and surprisingly elegant at other times. Is this something about which people already knew and didn't care? Is it a smoke and mirrors answer, or substantial?

In any case, I'm satisfied. I MUST be rid of Backup Assistant Plus! I'll keep my eye on the credit card statement.

A custom boot animation I made for our device

Hope you enjoy it! :fingers-crossed:

The idea was to make a sort of retro type neon sign on a carbon fiber board. It has since deviated a little, but I like it that way.

Bootup animation:

bootanimdx.zip - 25.28 MB(I know, its pretty big for a boot animation :p )

Shutdown animation: (If ROM Supports it)

bootdowndx.zip - 2.94 MB

You'll need to rename them depending on your ROM.

(Ask if you need any help installing)

Nope..The problem is in me...The ROM restores the original files by himself.

I recently upgraded to the Nexus 5 but kept my N4 to sell on to make up for what I spent, however, it has recently started to lose charge whilst turned off. I have had the phone sent off once and nothing was fixed, they just flashed and older version of android and then when I got the phone back it update again and just carried on happening.

Has anyone else had this problem? I'm thinking I will have to send it off once again but I just wanted to know if someone else had the problem and there was an easy fix.
[Moto X Q&A] redhonker:
Hi,

I am on 4.4 and have horrible battery time. It last less than 12 hours with about 2.x screen-on time. I've turned off wake-lock on almost all battery time. Yet CPU spy says deep sleep is only 13% of time.

Most of the tool requires root on 4.4. Yet I can't root my device.

I am wondering if I should go back to 4.2.

1. What's the battery life comparison b/w 4.2 and 4.4?

2. Under 4.2, without root, are there tools allow me to find out what is eating my battery?

Thanks

I can underclock (mildly) and with a few adjustments to the right governor, achieve 800+ MFLOPS in Linpack. 14000 isn't really "fast" for this phone in Quadrant either. That's easily done with the stock kernel.

Is it a paperweight or do I just need a new battery? Maybe the battery, being bad, never charged when I hooked it up and it died???

Any thoughts?

yes that does help because I was wondering if it would power on without the battery. I guess I'll have to hunt for a new battery that isnt located in honk kong or somewhere that would require a customs fee. I think I'll just head over to my local TMobile store when the MDA's come out and see if they will let me use their dummy battery to test my 9100.

I just got my 9100 used and so far Im starting to wonder if the seller was getting rid of it because its a lemon. The reception is horrid compared to my sidekick2 which of course is not known for its excellent reception by any stretch lol.

This subject is covered in the General Section. The issue is the latest Google Search update. A workaround is to go into Settings/Apps and then Uninstall Updates from Google Search. It'll revert it to the version initially installed with the ROM you're using.

My only question is -- I have successfully put this ROM on my HTC One AT&T phone, and it is all working wonderfully, it's just that Ok Google is not activating. Am I doing something wrong or is this universally affecting Android Revolution HD on the HTC One? I have the hotword enabled so that saying Ok Google should work, but it doesn't.
