Yep, phone blocks thats what i meant. cool consept, but will be quite hard to actualy make effective, i mean to make a phone 1. be durable using that system would be hard, it could just fall apart. 2. the screen is ONE piece, meaning how is that a block? 3. The blocks will be quite thick i think there for my htc first would be like what 11mm thick minimum? and so on.

GREAT concept though, nothing against it. Personally the best concept out there at the moment is the Jolla Sailfish phone.

EDIT. just looked up project ara, the whole idea of a modular phone is Feasible, but it wouldn't actually work. Reason? well, remember when android came out, and then about at the point of android 2.2 foyo with the droid X, the whole "android" thing was counted as a big joke. although by us tech geeks who are actually interested in how technology works, advances and so on, its easy, the better choice is the Droid X. But for 90 percent of people it was still the iphone, and still is for a big chunk of the world. what has happened is that apple stopped making a big deal out of the whole "android copied us" thing. So now, androids are still NOT appealing to people who are NOT interested in any way in technology, therefore number one choice would be an iPhone. now for us tech geeks, its easy to go and move on to project ara or phone blocks, cause we like doing that, getting something cooler and better and so on. But now that people have finally figured out android and its versions and manufacturers and have "settled down", for them to acquire more knowledge about processors and ram and cameras and screens and ppi and so on, is too much work (um...no more like 10 minutes worth of research on Google) but people will be to lazy to actually take interest cause its "too complicated" like all my fellow iphone lovers say. Seriously have you ever talked to a hardcore apple fan who has never even SEEN an android like the htc one let alone touched it and used it? YOU CANT talk to them, they just wont listen. no imagine telling them about phone blocks! they will say...cool...and thats it, they will be to lazy and to arrogant to drop what they have now and move on.

so will it work? um, maybe. it would be like Microsoft holding a few percent of marketshare. and as for popularity...once people get into "using their own heads"...they will give up. so it will work practicaly, but in the real world...it wont work WELL

well, all i can say is hail progress, technology, and android :/

But we will be able to have fun trying to see who can get the best benchmark score! hahaha
[HTC First] ohthesepaws:
Quick point, Android currently has most of the market share. I believe it's 52%? While apple is at like 25?

Ara is closer to completion, though this is only the first version. Also remember Google owns Motorola lol.

I was disappointed after updating to 4.4 and not having the new dialer with caller ID. Is there any news about having that with coming updates?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] cahir1495:
Hi everyone! :D

I have a problem and I need your help. I'm using AVD Rom but I have locked bootloader ("Unlock bootloader allowed: no"). But I need help with flashing .zips. I was trying to do it via Flash Gordon but this application doesn't work properly for me and one time it caused bootloop in my phone. I wanted to flash Pure Performances™ but I don't know how. Does anyone know any program like Flash Gordon but more stable?

Thanks for help in advance
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Hnk1:
There are restrictions on CUSTOM ROMS which require UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER. However, some ROMS can even work on LOCKED BOOTLOADER. So every time you flash your ROM with locked bootloader, you will end up bootlooped. Sometimes, the ROM would work but some extra modifications wouldnot work (as they require further freedom which only unlocked bootloader can provide)/ Thus flashing Zips made for UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER will also result in bootloops.

The best way would be to check out which ROMS support locked bootloaders or if someone from your community comes out with a hack to UNLOCK your bootloader when you are not allowed.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] cahir1495:
I understand but most of zips caused bootloop if i flashed them via flash gordon. And I've read that Pure Performances modification doesn't need unlocked bootloader

Hello,

Please can someone write a new application ?

Can with Donate Button and profit on it :)

Problem annoy many users smartphones Samsung - Galaxy S4 , Note 3, Galaxy Mega and more.

Upon heating cpu above about 50 degrees Celsius (it's showing up mainly when playing demanding 3D games), the brightness is from 100 percent to 50 percent .This is protect against overheating. I need application to prevent the dimming.

if I should this say otherwise

It happens under load for example when playing demanding 3D game.

These are:

in Settings / My Device / Display / Brightness /

the message under luminance regulator :

"to avoid overheating maximum brightness has been reduced"

If there is a dimming (to avoid overheating maximum brightness has been reduced) ,change is not on seekbar. Seekbar is still at on maximum value, but the real value brightness is around 50 percent. If I begin to move with seekbar from maximum to 50 percent , brightness is still 50.

(It reacts to the temperature when reaching around 60 degrees Celsius and begin "to Avoid overheating maximum brightness has been Reduced." When you turn off the game and subsequently cooled to about 50 degrees maximum brightness again)

I have a log from my Galaxy Mega (i9205, android 4.2.2) (created in CatLog-Logcat Reader application).

Log has two parts (screenshot):

part one "part one.jpg":

Time: 20:43:13.972 (log number is 6727) - in this time start dimming.

part two "part two.jpg":

time: 20:43:43:964 (log number is 7159) - In this time maximum brightness again

I also attaching a complete log "log.txt" from my Galaxy Mega That can be opened for example in the "mLogcat_1_2_2_0"

Hopefully this log will help find the source of the problem with dimming and will go switch off or adjust or delete this protective function.

A lot of people will be very grateful if it will go to solve.

Hello OP. First let me thank you for your help.

Now, let me show my case:

I am on Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 and flashed this animation:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193456

And it looks great, the animation is there, but the sound is not.

I have tried System/etc and System/Media/Audio/Ui to put the .ogg file in. To no avail.

Provided you know how to port animations, I wonder if you would know where tu put the sound file in my ROM, (Stable Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 with its original kernel). Or what to enable in my system (of course my sound is enabled, the animation even runs the lowbattery.ogg file when starting-up with less than 10%).

Thank a bunch in advance!.

Did try with Cyanogenmod 4.1.3 and now on 4.2 and it wont work no matter if I set the file in .wav, .mp3, or .ogg format. In either of those folders.

I really do not understand why it wont play the sound.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarara:
Hi!

I'm new to the XDA forums.

I have noticed a strange behaviour using buttons while exit applications on KitKat. The issue was not present in Jelly Bean, while I can notice it in KitKat. I thought it was a minor 4.4 bug, but it's still present in 4.4.2 too.

I am running Android 4.4.2 on a Nexus 4, no root, no system modifications at all.

Steps to reproduce the bug:

- Go to your home screen.

- Tap on battery settings from the quick settings dropdown menu;

- Use home button to come back to the home screen;

- Once again, tap on battery settings from the quick settings dropdown menu;

- This time, use back button to go back;

- Enjoy another background app opening for a second with no reason before going back to your home screen.

I cannot post videos since I'm a new user, but if you wanna check, the youtube code for it is 40Rs6vnx_Wc

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarara:
No one?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evdrmr:
Yes, I've reproduced that but why should it be a bug? Or may be you should learn how the back button in android works? Why do you use it at all when you have the home button and the fast app switching button? It's a matter of time for the back button to be dropped down. Unless of course the "only one home button" thing is not patented by Apple so that back button has to stay. Remember what happened with the search button? It's gone for good. And really that back button is only useful in browsers or if you want to go backwards a sequence of actions inside a single app. Most apps use the back button to quit or run in the background.

No hatred matey. It's just one of those days... You know. Last night I went to the cinema and watched The Hobbit, had only a couple of hours to sleep, woke up early... Usual stuff.

Oh, and do you know what? It could be a bug... Why don't you report it to Google or to a bug tracker? Have you checked all available 4.4.2 ROMs if they are infected with it or someone has already found a cure? Or why don't you exploit it further and write a dirty little app to gain control over people's phones through this flaw? And how the f*ck did you even find it? Sounds like an incredible amount of spare time on your hands to me. Or just a pattern based repetitive clicks due to lack of "some more important things to do"?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] SalimPS:
As a request from some XDA members I made this guide,

so if you made a bootanimation using this method share it with us here.

what you need to get started

For Creating a Bootanimation :

So Bootanimation is simply a collection of .png/.jpg pictures Stored into a zip file.

If you opened a bootanimation.zip you’ll find this :

And sometimes there’s another folder there “part2”

folders like part0, part1, etc... Store .png/.jpg pictures of the Bootnaimation

the desc.txt file contains all the necessary info like resolution fps, etc …

As you can see in the image :

Notion : Usually, part0 is The Beginning animation, part1 is The Loop animation and part2 is Shutdown animation.

Let’s start by creating a Simple Bootanimation :

When you finish that.. it’s time to create the desc.txt file :

Important : SET COMPRESSION METHOD TO STORE or else your bootanimation won’t work

Congratulations! you just made your own bootanimation.. Remember to share it with us :D

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imdogdream:
hello,

i just got note 3 few days ago, didn't know anything about region lock and having big problems.

i've already tried region lock away by chainfire and no luck.

damn samsung you suck!

i claimed amazon guy who sold me but he says it's unlocked phone and region lock has nothing to do with him.

and i've already rooted so i can't even return it.

so i got $700 5.7inch galaxy note 3 alike wifi tab....

is there any way to get that unlock code?

do you know any descent site who might do it?

and if i install another rom (such as CM or etc) can i be using this phone?

thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlitos66:
Did you already try this guy? I remember when I was following this problem in the beginning it was one of the things that worked for some people.

http://puman.ru/
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellrama:
What I would recommend is as follows:

obtain an unlock code for your device from a reputable unlocking source. I use cellunlocker.net. They charge $32.99 USD which is steep but the turnaround time is usually less than an hour and they're 100% reliable. I have unlocked about 30 devices to date and if you are willing to post an unlock video and your experience on youtube, they will refund your fee. Once unlocked, follow the steps below...

1) Change your CSC to the carrier in which your SIM supports. Do this by obtaining your IMEI number through *#06# from the dialer menu.

2) With your IMEI noted from above, enter the following code *#272*[IMEI]# and you will be prompted with a region menu. Select the 3 letter region which corresponds with the carrier you wish to use. At this point, all should be working.

Hope this helps!
