[Moto X Q&A] phantommaggot:
So, I picked up a moto-x.

I was pretty much happy with 4.2 other than the att contacts/ sms app but I was gonna attempt to find a workaround for that after I got the phone set up.

However, when I finally got the phone just about where I wanted AT&T forced the 4.4 update down my throat. This changed a few more things that I want to fix.

I HATE being forced to use apps I don't want to use. The beauty of the motorola to me is the black/teal (Now white -_-) interface in all the menus including texting and contacts. Now I'm stuck using that garbage from AT&T or google hangouts, neither of which I want anything to do with. I have yet to find a way to disable it without root. I was thinking I could use the app sender to send the original apps from my Electrify M, Would that work?

Since the update, Google keyboard has.... hidden... the enter key. I have to hit shift to see an enter/return key in order to start a new line of text. That is BEYOND horrible. I did some digging on line and came across a thread (which I tried to link..... ) where, what I assume are google employee, are acting if asking for a fix is the same as asking for a new feature. That kind of attitude from google is kind of lame. I do not have an option to disable the smiley key and it seems like others that previously had the option have lost it. I may also try sending swype from my electrify M if it would work. Does anyone know a way to fix that smiley issue?

So, what do you guys think? I really don't want to root my phone, but my phone is a personal thing to me, and having it set up just how I like it means a lot. So would I be better off just rooting back to 4.2/4.3?

Would it be safe to try sending the apps from my USC Electrify M? (Text, people, contacts, swype)

Anyways,

Thanks in advance for any advice, tips ETC

Same Issue
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Why not just use a keyboard from the play store... And a messaging app? You don't need root to do that.

Or did I miss something? ;)

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

Or use RSDlite and go back to 4.2.2?
[Moto X Q&A] T-Keith:
I don't understand? The stock sms app should still be on your phone, keyboards are plentiful in the play store.

Personally I love hangouts and wish more people would quit sms since I'm still on a limited plan.
[Moto X Q&A] kuro69:
best solution I fond with NO root needed in app for SMS called Textra SMS

install > change to default text app > replace Icon with new one the green "T"

and you done

all options inside work great NO ROOT
[Themer General Discussion] Gowry:
Is there any way we can get Favorites to open as a folder instead of opening the app drawe? Maybe an option? Folders open a lot faster than the app drawer.

I like the simplistic themes and really only need the favorites in addition to phone, email, and text. I also like using the double tap gesture to open favorites, but the app drawer is much slower at opening than a folder. If I add a folder to the home screen, I have to re-create it every time I change themes, and I can't use the double-tap gesture.

Thanks for listening!
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Please see our latest update, it includes Smart Categories which we think you might enjoy.

We're always listening ;)
[Themer General Discussion] Gowry:
Nice!

I do like it! The most recent category is pretty much a pre-built favorites list. I like the new app drawer a lot, too! Thank you

Now we just need a way to open that category via a gesture (double tap for me)
[Themer General Discussion] alldroid:
yeah I like it well done but please please please can we have continuous scrolling and resize icon ,these are very badly needed and will only improve the feel of themer,I got the save as option but just for christmas give us these two options.:victory: or at least a time scale of when we can expect
[Themer General Discussion] Ryo Misaki:
There is already Icon Resizing for the app drawer.

8 columns and small icons works awesomely for the Note 3. =D
[Themer General Discussion] alldroid:
not app drawer m8 but apps on screen that are added the only current option is to edit,remove or app info
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Resizing icons on screen is on our list, for now we're aiming providing the best looking themes :)
[Themer General Discussion] alldroid:
I would have thought sorting features out and issues would have priority ,in my opinion no point trying to get best looking themes if everything in the themer app isn't fully working.Just my opinion as mentioned
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Agreed, but the trouble is that it's a lot easier said than done. A somewhat simple fix to a bug or a performance improvement could take weeks to solve, which isn't easy with limited resources. The devs are doing the best they can to juggle adding new themes, improving the performance, as well as fix the bugs and crashes.
[Themer General Discussion] Gowry:
You guys rock!

That latest update adding gestures support to smart categories rules! Now, no matter what theme I install, I can double tap and get my most-recently used apps up!

Happy New Year!
[Themer General Discussion] LEECH161:

You can delete all files in the webos LOST.DIR (recycle bin). This might allow you to get the 500mb down to 400.

Now that Spotify has become free for mobile devices, is there then any way to trick the Spotify app to launch in "tablet mode?"

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryo Misaki:
I think that's done by changing the DPI.

Perhaps using something like the Xposed Module 'App Settings' would help.

I'm not sure what the required DPI is to invoke Tablet mode is, though.

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

Okay, I'm wrong.

After stumbling across a different thread, it seems that Spotify uses a particular method of determining if the device is a tablet.

It's unrelated to DPI, sadly.

A group of people are trying to crack it.

I'm rooted on stock 4.1 but i didn't have a custom recovery so I flashed cwm rom manager. I was able to make a nandroid backup fine but when I tried rebooting in to the recovery, it would just take me to stock recovery. How do I fix this? Thanks, in advance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyhdownsouth:
For some phones, it seems Rom manager doesn't flash the recovery properly. Just like Goomanager, for me, will not flash TWRP at all. I prefer to flash it using MSkips Toolbox or ODIN by itself if you know how. If you use the toolbox, it will be an older version of CWM, but after you flash the older version and make sure it works by rebooting your phone into recovery, then you can flash the newest version of either CWM or TWRP in ZIP format HERE. ODIN can be tricky for some who've never used it before. The Toolbox automates this process for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] || Acer ||:
Thanks for the help! I didn't know about goomanager until you mentioned it, and it happened to work perfectly for me so I don't have to go through all the trouble :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
If you prefer CWM, give Philz Touch a try, it is a very advanced version of CWM, and works great for a lot of users, myself included. There are flashable .zip files for Philz and CWM, if you install both on your SD card there is no harm in switching to Philz in order to check it out, you can then easily flash back to CWM if you want.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2446393

P.S. Knowing how to use Odin is a valuable skill, nothing wrong with having an app perform a task like installing a custom recovery as long as you also know the more "nuts and bolts" approach.

Once a brief statement for those who are not traveling so long in the Android scene:

ZRAM = ramzswap = Compcache

In order to explain more precisely ZRAM first need other terms are more clearly defined:

Swap can be compared with the swap file on Windows. If the memory (RAM) to complete the PC the data that are being used not actively outsource (eg background applications) so as to re-evacuate RAM free. To this data is written to a hard disk. If required, this data is then read back from there easily. Even the fastest SSD is slower than the RAM. On Android, there is no swap!

In ZRAM unnecessary storage resources are compressed and then moved to a reserved area in the fixed RAM (ZRAM). So a kind of swap in memory.

This Ram is more free because the data then only about 1/4 of the former storage requirements have. However, the CPU has to work in more because they compress the data has (or unpack again when they are needed). The advantage clearly lies in the speed. Since the swap partition in RAM is much faster than this is a swap partition on a hard drive.

In itself a great thing. But Android does not have a swap partition, and therefore brings Android ZRAM under no performance gain as would be the case with a normal PC.

In normal PC would look like this:

Swap = swap file (on disk) -> Slow

ZRAM (swap in RAM) -> Faster than swap

RAM -> Quick

With Android, there is no swap partition, and therefore brings ZRAM also no performance boost.

The only thing that brings ZRAM is "more" RAM. Compressed by the "enlarged" so to speak of the available memory. That's on devices with little RAM (<256MB) also pretty useful. The S2 has 1GB but the rich, and more than. There must not be artificially pushed up to 1.5 GB.

After you activate the ZRAM also has 2 disadvantages. The encoding and decoding using CPU time, which in turn has higher power consumption.

Roughly one can say (For devices with more than 512MB RAM):

Without ZRAM: + CPU Performance | + Battery | RAM

With ZRAM: CPU Performance |-Battery | + RAM

For devices with too little RAM so it makes perfect sense. But who shoots the S2 already be fully complete RAM and then still need more?

Check whether you can ZRAM runs in the terminal with

free or cat / proc / meminfo

I hope it helps to understand zRam!!!!:)

You might have broke the digitizer under the screen, or disconnected it, knocked the ribbon connection loose. If you are comfortable with tinkering inside, that's the first thing I'd check. If it's the digitizer, you have options on replacing it yourself or sending/taking it somewhere to be done.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eva_d:
it happens *only* when you get device out of the pouch, which is included in the box. it's caused by little magnets hidden in the pouch, which are holding pouch's cover. try to switch wizard on, put into pouch and then get it out. you'll see landscape mode screen switch without incoming call as well. quite annoying issue btw... :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Casper.creedy:
The only solution I've found so far, is to map a key to switch from landscape to portrait, and switch back straight away when it happens.

I've been scouring the forums for a few days in case there was a cab file to disable the mode switching so I could do it manually.

No joy though.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] guttrhead:
It should switch back on its own a few seconds after you take it out of the pouch.

It does return after a few seconds, but often the call has gone by the time it does, and the softkeys/answer keys muck around while its switching. with the landscape/portrait key set, hopefully the switch will be faster. (thats what I keep telling myself)

Tried restarting at first but now I Force Stop Facebook & Youtube works again.
