[General Questions and Answers] technoweary:
Purchased the HTC One after the usb connection on my HD2 eventually gave out and it appears that was a BIG mistake.

I need a business phone that works well and syncs with Thunderbird, or if not Thunderbird I could go back to Outlook.

Cannot stand this horrible HTC One, nothing works well, most apps fall over, Google has it's scalpware fixed into everything, is it the phone or is it Android?

Should I go back to Windows?

Should I go for a second hand HD2?

I would prefer to sell the HTC and buy a new phone so any advice or recommendations would be most welcome.

Regards
[General Questions and Answers] larsjuh1987:
i think its more of an application issue rather than Android.

With what apps do you have problems?
[General Questions and Answers] technoweary:
Hi Larsjuh1987

Mainly problems on business oriented apps like Leica Sketch and Car Dock apps.

With the car docks the main problem appears to be with the voice search, but it's to be expected because voice search has to go through google so they can scalp information. Fine in a country with adequate cellular coverage but I am in UK and the system can only be described as "third rate".

The app developers recommend getting around this by running the voice search on the phone, like my old HD2 and even older iPaq, but it's not available on this phone.

I am thinking a Windows 8 phone may sort this out but I have no idea if it has the ability to voice search offline.

This again is where apple score although it's not a good business phone.

I get the impression from developers that Android works on most phones, it's just the HTC One thats not very good.

Treated myself to the Plantronics Voyager Legend headset, fine on my old HD2 and my colleagues Galaxy but not on HTC One, so I am having to use an old Plantronics 510!

I wish I was more confident to load a ROM from XDA and get around the problem that way.

Thanks for your reply.

Moderators Note about MoKee. These ROMs in the past were known for distributing adware/malware. As they claim to be "Open Source" now, you should still be cautious about flashing MoKee ROMs. Currently this ROM is under review by Moderation Staff.

Android 4.4 Kitkat for Defy and Defy+​

This is the latest Mokee ROM for our very own and never dying cell,Motorola Defy/Defy plus(Aka.jordan/jordanplus) based on the latest android OS Kitkat 4.4.

[Defy General] pgreed:
As I can see you've post the 14.12 version and not the last 16.12 version which contains many bugs repaired. Can you post the last one? THX.
[Defy General] niksy+:
Guys, but why are you still using Mokee, aren't they including malware in every ROM now? :/
[Defy General] deffyplus:
My solution is very simple Root Explorer and delete all parts of the MoKee from /system/app
[Defy General] pgreed:
Those Chinese apps is not exactly malware. Because is not useful for me I've uninstalled it with Titanium and recover some ROM. Also I replace the Mokee launcher and keyboard and make a very reliable and stable OS ( 4950 pts under Antutu 4.1.4).
[Defy General] abhinavvaidya90:
Exactly ! :))

And i also use it as i dont get battery drops like in cm10.2
[Defy General] abhinavvaidya90:
On the official site i am getting 14/12 build only....if u get some link do send me,i'll add it to the post :)
[Defy General] Antiga Prime:
And how is it that it's "not exactly malware"? Is it just partially malware? Almost malware? Maybe malware? Or is a "variant of Android/TrojanDownloader.Adload.B trojan" really just not that bad?

And then when people caught on to it they also modified the keyboard app too... but nah... can't be that bad, since they are actually fixing many bugs that aren't being taken cared of by serious developers that contribute directly to XDA, right? Oh wait, their change log doesn't really reflect anything different than what's already being taken care of by other developers who are actually compiling and programming for our Defy...

As a tip, you can and should delete those apps before flashing (with 7zip), that way they aren't ever run on your phone; once you flash the first thing that will start up will be the keyboard. ;)
[Defy General] deffyplus:
that it is also possible
[Defy General] pgreed:
:) maybe the correct term is adware? For the rest: I found that ROM to be the most stable, battery efficient and with all the settings I need. 'till now the rest of 4.3 custom ROMs do not comply with the above needs and the 4.4.x is not enough mature. The only problem with Mokee 4.3 is that SistemUI slowly growing which suffocate the RAM and need periodical reboot -but that appear to be common to 4.3.x . Those grow seems to be closely related to apps installation and update.

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

Hm .. the 16.12 version seems not to be public yet!
[Defy General] Antiga Prime:
Hardly the point. First of all, the fact that they have to hide it in an app most people will need to start up the ROM is shady at best. Second of all, regardless of how AV companies label the malicious software they find, a trojan downloader is essentially a backdoor for the app developer to open it and to deliver a payload that can behave differently than just "adware", without the user's consent or knowledge. That fact alone should make people think twice before installing/using this ROM, especially once people are aware that the developer's intentions are not necessarily intentions that promote the improvement and development of Android.

People can choose what they want, just my two cents on why we are tolerating malware, adware, trojans, or whatever you want to call it. There are a lot of people who also frequent these forums who won't know how to delete the malicious apps before flashing, regardless of whether they should be able to or not.

It's different when you have to mod things to your liking or to improve functionality, but hidden and persistent malware/adware placed by the developers themselves...?

We shouldn't have to tolerate that...
[Defy General] TJKV:
Completely agree with you. Personally I think this ROM should be banned from XDA, where piracy and even promoting your paid themes isn't allowed. For me it is unimaginable that a trojanned ROM can be posted. discussions about how easy it is to remove don't matter, like you said. Hence I have reported to the mods.

@ others: Yes people can choose what they want, like antiga said, but on XDA the choice of installing trojans shouldn't even exist. There are shadier websites one can visit to get their trojan fixes.
[Defy General] Moscow Desire:
Thread currently closed

Ok, 2 things.

1) Thread moved to General, as it's just links to the MoKee site, as it appears the OP is not an official maintainer, and just posted links. As such it does not qualify as development.

2) Thread is currently closed pending investigation of current MoKee practices.

In the past MoKee had been known to included adware in their apps. Did they include Malware? Depends who you talk to. However, MoKee was discouraged at XDA, along with MIUI ROMs which also operate under a similar principle.

However, MoKee claims to be "Open Source" and their github seems to reflect that.

It is advisable however, to remove any suspicious apk's just to be safe until a disposition is made. And considering it's a Chinese ROM with a past reputation, might want to change keyboard apk's as well ;)

Thread closed for the time being.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakeshrakoo:
Hi ,

I've been searching all over xda for an app or a script that could give more control over a swap file present in the SD card .By more control ....I mean ...is it possible to select which apps ram usage can be swapped to the file and is it possible to prevent ram usage of some apps from being swapped ? The reason is that after 1 or two days the device becomes extremely laggy and have to restart and apps start freezing just with a swap file of size 50 mb.

I use an LG L3 running on large rev 2 with SD merge .

For the swap file I use Ram expander .

Thanks in advance :)

Please no cases with only portrait nor only landscape kickstand. Ideally the case should protect against small drops yet not add too much to phone thickness. I have the Verizon kickstand case which would be perfect but offers no protection at all to top or bottom edges when held in portrait view. A drop could damage metal trim on those edges. Ideas? Thanks for your participation!

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Digitalthug:
To be honest the Verizon case is going to be the most versatile with portrait and landscape viewing. Hell even allows you to set the phone up in Reverse portrait which is awesome when you want to use the S Pen. I have the same concern although I do like the slimness and it add a lot of utility especially with the holster. In the end though I really don't like how it looks in takes away from the notes aesthetics. This is why I might just end up getting a nice looking TPU case or not and get the fly grip. The fly grip if you haven't heard of it is a genius little device that sticks on the back of your phone and allows you to actually hold the phone one handed you put two fingers securely in the device and when you want to use it as a kickstand it does both ways as well. They are even giving away free complimentary TPU cases or a carbon fiber skin.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] recDNA:
Ingenious device. I just watched a video. In my "case" it wouldn't be ideal because I use a leather holster and it would snag. I don't like the hard belt clip type holder on the vzw case because the top of the clip sticks into my side when I sit down.

The kickstand on this case is similar to the pop case above. Not sure if it will work or not in portrait orientation, but it's slim, brand name, and has open access to the buttons.

And this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Amzer-Kicks...&qid=1389744178&sr=8-24&keywords=amzer+note+3

Both should be arriving any day now. The Ebay one looks like it'll add bulk but to be fair it is classed as a rugged case and the Amazon one looks pretty slim. Both seem to lock into portrait and landscape. I can do a short review when they get delivered if anyone is interested.

I was getting bored with my standard s4 rom, so in my rush to move forward I flashed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2544474 (►►[AOSP] Official 4.4.2 - S4 Google Edition - v10 - Feel the Experience of Nexus◄◄) thinking I was on a i9505 and not bothering to check and also not bothering to make a backup.

anyway it works but I was getting random reboots (known on this rom) and mad battery drain (what previously was 50% at the end of the day now is flat).

So i decided to go back to stock. It was then that I realised that when I do a system check, my phone actually is a i9505g.

I downloaded a couple of i9505g images from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2569510 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2544056 however when I try and flash, ODIN come up with a fail. I have tried changing to stock recovery from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2442882 but still no luck.

Interestingly when I try flashing the modems from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2452034 these won't flash either.

I'm a bit flummoxed as I can flash other modems to it via odin.

I haven't uninstalled drivers and odin or tried other ports as when i flash modems they do work (they don't all actually work but i can change them) and i can change custom recovery too.

Any suggestions???
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
I'm going to start by saying you're damn lucky you haven't totally bricked your phone.

You really need to slow down and understand what you're doing.

It sounds like you do have an i9505, otherwise the GE ROM you flashed would of giving you an error 7.

Anyway because you have flashed a Google Edition ROM onto your i9505 it has changed the build prop so now your device says it's an i9505G.

You should be fine to flash any stock firmware for an i9505 to restore your phone.

In future read instructions very carefully and make sure you actually know what you're doing before attempting to flash your phone.

Hope you can get it back up and running as an i9505 :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonallwright:
I thought I did, I've been flashing phones, for years now, to a lesser degree, and though I've got in deep water, I 've never drowned.

I presumed that regardless of what you flashed onto the phone, system info it would report back what it actually was - so when I checked and saw that it was listed a i9505g I didn't know you could change what it was reported back. Live and learn. :)

I will have a go with a i9505 ROM and see what happens...

unfortunately due to you being on official its a one way street. LOCKED bootloader, there is no downgrading. Now i believe I read on the s3 forums that if you can reflash the current official bootloader and rom you 'might' be able to boot, suck part is I dont think anybody has posted it yet.

No, I'm not trolling. Nothing to troll for. If there are issues with this downgrade on the OTA 4.3, I highly recommend following Milkman00's advise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
I think there is some confusion here.

I was on the stock 4.3 and tried using ODIN to undo the bootloader. It didn't work. Not only did it not work, but it rendered my phone unusable. It claims that there is a firmware problem and to use Kies to restore the firmware, which cannot be done currently as the latest firmware in Kies is <4.3.

DO NOT USE THAT METHOD. Long story short is that I now have a Note 3 because I broke my Note 2. :/

Hello everyone.

The one thing i dislike about Kitkat is the white-themed phone app. It feels out of place among the dark holo themed apps. So here i present to you all my dark-themed Googledialer.apk.

I have created 2 variations, one with dark holo background (see 1st picture) and another with a gray background (see 2nd background). The one with the gray background looks more neat (in my opinion). :D Just flash in recovery as usual.

Changelog:

31/12/13 (V4 & V4.1)

1. Made the incall dialpad numbers white.

2. V4 and V4.1 are similar, but V4.1 has a less transparent dialpad.

30/12/13 (V3.1):

1. Added V3.1 of both gray and holo versions. The only difference with V3 is a less transparent dialpad.

30/12/13 (V3):

1. Added support for xxhdpi (thanks [MENTION=5020670]matthew0776[/MENTION] for alerting me).

2. Modified the dialpad to match it with the overall theme (the dialpad background is more transparent, the numbers are white and the blue bar at the bottom is now grey).

21/12/13 (V2):

1. Used GoogleDialer version 1.01 as base.

2. Updated some png files (thanks [MENTION=5020670]matthew0776[/MENTION]).

3. Fixed call details screen font bug.

4. Fixed orange color when longpressing a favorite contact (I think google fixed this, not me lol).

5. Outgoing call screen is 'partially' transparent (the black and blue banners at the top are gone, but the buttons are still black). I made this in the first version itself, but forgot to mention it. :p

Bugs:

1. The app settings page is still white. The pop-up showing contact details is also still white. Any help about this is appreciated.

Credits to:

1. Banks because i used his flashable zip.

2. [MENTION=5020670]matthew0776[/MENTION] for his help with bugs and pngs.

3. [MENTION=5289638]Desno365[/MENTION] for help with a bug and confirming that the mod works with ART.

4. [MENTION=4513035]-CALIBAN666-[/MENTION] for confirming that my app works with deodexed ROMs.

5. Everyone visiting this thread for supporting my project! :victory:

This mode works in both odexed & deodexed ROMs, and in both dalvik and ART.

In my experience, this modified Googledialer.apk can coexist with the AOSP dialer (if it is present in your ROM). However, the AOSP dialer has to be in system/priv-app for this mod to function. If it is not, move it to system/priv-app before flashing this mod.

I plan to make the contacts app dark-themed as well when i am free. :D

Feedback is welcome. Thanks and enjoy! Press thanks if i helped you! :D
