[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
You have a Telus/Koodo phone running 4.4.2 and you want to network unlock the phone for use on another carrier? If yes, you can flash the stock 4.1.1 ROM from sammobile.com to access the service menu to network unlock the phone. This means you will have a stock 4.1.1 ROM running offer a 4.4.2 bootloader and this combinations means you will not be able to connect to a carrier network until you flash back to a stock 4.4.2 ROM. Even though the service menu method was used to network unlock the phone, it will stay unlocked after flashing stock 4.4.2 or a custom ROM.

Flashing the stock 4.1.1 ROM from sammobile.com over the stock 4.4.2 ROM will trip knox if I remember correctly.

Flashing CWM or TWRP will trip knox for sure.

You do not need to root before flashing a custom recovery.

If your old phone is not running 4.4.2, you will not be able to clone it the new phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old faithful:
Why can't the phone phone work with 4.1.1 loaded? Is that something in the 4.4.2 bootloader?

If the phone won't work as a phone under 4.1.1 and I'm forced to use 4.4.2 I can say good bye to my CirclesWidget3D :( and what about USB Mass Storage mode? I can't live without USM mode... If I were to lose that much essential functionality, I might as well resell it and wait for another phone that hasn't been 'ugraded' :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
The 4.1.1 modem/baseband won't work properly on a 4.4.2 bootloader which means wifi and carrier connections won't work properly and defeats the purpose of having the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old faithful:
Thank you for your help, but I sure feel like kicking someone's face in at Samsung right now >:(

How can anyone tolerate having their rights taken away like this? Don't people value freedom anymore? Who gives manufacturers the right to PREVENT USERS TO OWN WHAT THEY PURCHASED?

At the rate it's going, in a few years it will be ILLEGAL to OWN anything, we'll all be slaves >:(

Sorry for the rant, but after having purchased a spare laptop recently that had its BIOS 'upgraded' so it won't work with inexpensive aftermaket batteries, I am FUMING. But at least it will run the version of Windows I like!!!

Good night and thanks again for your help. It was only $100 after all. Lesson learned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
I believe the bootloader, together with other parts of the ROM, are licensed to the end user rather than being "owned" as opposed to the hardware which you do own.

It's interesting about the laptop BIOS. I've never come across this type of situation.

Microsoft and Intel have limited official support to Kaby Lake and newer processors to Windows 10.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old faithful:
By making the bootloader unremovable, they have effectively caused IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO MY DEVICE and I should be able to demand they repair that damage, but if the device already came with this defective bootloader from the factory, the seller could argue the consumer could have simply refused buying the device in the first place. The problem is no one disclosed this defect to him/her before doing so and that falls under hidden defect warranty, which is actionable in Canada. Of course, who is going to pursue that in reality? With the cost of lawyers being what it is, no one in their right mind would do it unless they were immensely wealthy.

What bothers me most about this is they will claim it was done this way for "our own good". In fact, all totalitarians claim the exact same reason for justifying enslaving free people. The fact so few are objecting to this is proof that if you repeat a lie long enough, it becomes the truth. Such is life in a corporatocracy (otherwise known as fascism), where those who claim to represent us are in reality bought and sold by industry giants and 'citizens' have all but ceased to exist in its original definition of the term.

But enough with the political philosophical discourse - I've learned my lesson, $100 is nothing in the grand scheme of things, it will be paid for in the long run by those responsible, one way or another. Nature always finds a way. I guess it's time for me to look for a hardware solution now. If it can be flashed, it can be unflashed.

Thank you again for your insights - As much as I object to the state of affairs, I truly appreciated your help and respect your knowledge on this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
You may want to try out the Pixel/Nexus phones as their bootloaders are more easily changed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old faithful:
OK, sorry for being a pest but WHY won't the 4.1.1 modem work with the 4.4.2 bootloader? And how about installing the 4.4.2 modem on the 4.1.1 ROM? It would then be compatible, right? Surely there must be a way to achieve this! And how about completely zeroing out the entire memory chip, would it not then be possible to write a full ROM, bootloader and all? Or is the chip somehow preprogrammed by jtag before soldering on the mainboard?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
I don't know why the 4.1.1 modem is not compatible with the 4.4.2 bootloader but I suspect it's because the way in which the modem software works is not compatible with the newer bootloader.

You could try running the stock 4.1.1 ROM on a 4.4.2 bootloader and 4.4.2 modem but I don't think the 4.1.1 dialler will work.

Flashing via jtag would still not allow the phone to accept a 4.1.1 bootloader over a 4.4.2 bootloader.

Hi!

The Problem at first, the hymn later ;)

I've flashed Zelly Cream 5.0 on my Mini Pro (sk17i / mango) and now I have wrong permissions displayed in Play Store and in Settings -> Apps.

For Example:

Apex has permissions of "Allows application to retrieve internal state of the system...", "Allows an application to turn on debugging...", "Allows application to receive an process wap messages...", "Allow an application to forcibly stop other application...", "allows an application to turn on debugging for another application...", "allows an application to enable the car mode...", "allows an application to forcibly stop other applications...".

No word about "can call numbers like it want" like seen in stock rom.

When I look at the permissions with android assistant I can see "Call Phone" with seems to be right.

Anyone else with this problem? It's really bad if searching for new apps with less rights.

I run Zelly Cream 5.0 Reincarnation with both vengeance and mesa kernel and the framework fix applied. Problem appears on both kernels. (ok, i don't think it has anything to do with the kernel...)

So far my (I think) last probelm with Zelly Cream. Tell me if you have a fix or need more information or local tests. I'm no android developer, but linux developer so some shell tests are no prob ;)

Now the very good points!

Zelly Cream is REALLY GREAT WORK!

The MiniPro runs smooth (nearly as fxp) and the camera is actually working great with good quality again.

The power consumption is a little bit better than on normal stock.

I had a problem with the german layout on my device but could fix ist with the help of the forum by _not_ using the Stock keyboard (doesn't work for me at all, quits immediatly after popping up) editing the keychars and keylaout. Works really great now!

All other probs I've seen are only eye candy and already discussed in the developer forum so I hope it'll be fixed in the next release.

I don't like the launcher because I want to have static desktop images. So I installed apex and all is fine (my very own problem).

If now only the permissions would be displayed right this would be my next all-day-rom.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

greetings,

Tobias
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] arjunandrade.ciph:
It is normal. There is nothing to worry about. I think it's framework related. I am using the ROMS of the developer of Zelly Cream for MDPI before and I did experience that. Nothing will happen to your phone. If you feel unsecure with that then try another ROM
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] themueller:
Hi and thank you for your answer.

Do you think he known about this problem? I can't write to the original thread because it's a dev-thread and i'm a newbie here...

I'm relly feel insecure if I dont know about the nedded permissions before installing an app.

Any suggestions for a good mod? Your are using xNXT, are you happy with it?

I've tried FXP and some other CM Variants so far but because of the camera-lib-topic they are all bad for me. The stock cam is ok for daily use, the cm-Cam isn't.

So I looked around for stock-based mods and came to ZC.

The Zelly Cream is the first Rom I found with good a good cam and video quality and also nice performance...

greetings,

Tobias
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] arjunandrade.ciph:
XNXT is a good one. It uses the stock camera app of Sony. You can try installing Cybershot MOD of Rizal Lovins for good camera.

Download the Cybershot MOD in that post. It was resigned by me to make it run on xNXT.

---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

I think Zelly Cream uses the Cybershot MOD for Camera. But really, there is nothing to worry about that permissions

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

You can also try the Original Z1 Honami ROM. It is also a good ROM. Right now I am using SJB.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] themueller:
Hi!

It seems that the author of ZC doesn't care about permissions at all. He has tried to reproduce my problem but couldn't on his phone, so there's perhaps no way to debug and so solve this issue... :(

xnxt seems indeed great and thank you for the pointers to the cybershot mod. Looks great now an I'll fiddle around a bit with the tons of options...

Also I'll have a look for Honami, thank you for the hint.

btw... Have a nice xmas ;)

Hello, is there a way to put that quick settings from cyanogenmod in Stock Rom? I want to slide down on the right side to enter and would like to have a torch and want to enable wifi with a finger tip...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] EnricoD:
Cataclysm stock rom have a lot of Quick settings and Also quick Pull down from The right... Torch and more than 24 custom toggles + 9 default toggles and 4 temporary toggles ...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] S7EN:
Thank you but i want to add it by myself... I just want a few mods like %battery and centered clock and nothing more...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Pekempy:
Xposed Framework & GravityBox[KK] module.

Also I believe WanamKit module would let you do the same.

Be aware, Xposed isn't compatible with ART so you won't be able to enable ART with Xposed installed.

No, that's not at all what this post is asking for.

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------

Xposed and Gravitybox KK is the solution.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] emmellst:
Actually I think this is exactly what you were asking for. It's a suite of changes and tweaks. All of which you can customize. As far as I know there isn't a quick one-shot app to do this, but if you're willing to tweak, its the answer you're looking for.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Ben36:
I want some for ART :(
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] S7EN:
Thank you for your help. I will try and report if it works. Merry Christmas to all
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] intraCore:
Yep, GravityBox has QuickSettings management where you can customize which tiles are there, the order they're in, how many tiles in a row, etc. It's one of my favorite tweaks to date.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] olorolo:
Just grab notification toggle or power toggle from the playstore

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] S7EN:
I love you guys. Xposed and GravityBox is all I need. So my stock Rom is perfect for me!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] intraCore:
Yep! I prefer a modded stock ROM rather than a custom ROM. GravityBox is awesome for QuickSettings and a lot more! :D
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] S7EN:
True
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] tlipur:
So did you flash a rooted stock rom?

Id like to keep mine stock as well and gravitybox
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] S7EN:
Yes. I flashed Stock, unlocked bootloader, rooted and then installed Xposed Framework and GravityBox. That's all and it works perfectly. Just wait for the 4.4.2 camera mod and a working volume boost and then is everything perfect.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] intraCore:
I thought the volume mod was already updated. Anyway, I switched from that mod to VIPER4Android FX, which is SO much better! It makes the speaker sound better while also making it be able to play much louder without distortion.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] S7EN:
I tried v4a too but every time I close the app it will force close the effects. What's your settings for always enable v4a?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] intraCore:
I had this exact same issue! Uninstall the V4A driver and uninstall V4A. Copy the .apk to /system/app and set permissions to the same permissions the other apps in that folder have. Reboot. Open V4A (which is now installed without opening the .apk), install the V4A driver when prompted, voila!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] tlipur:
Could you provide links for the roms that yiu used so i can stay on the safe side instead of flashing the wrong rom.

Does ota updates work
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] S7EN:
With the system app trick it works with v4a now. Thank you.

I used the Stock Rom (download from Google server)

Stock means originally developed by Google. The official Rom for Nexus 5 :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] intraCore:
I just uninstalled Neutron Music Player. Play Music plays music really well with VIPER4Android. Glad the system app trick worked for you, too. I'll test it with my headphones later today and if it gives it a nice bass kick, I'll uninstall Poweramp, too. That's all I have Poweramp for - bass in my headphones.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamingmayr:
Since a few days I cannot get in the multitasking menu any more (double click on home does nothing). I tried various Sense-Roms (Sense 5.5, Android 4.4) and Kernels. After the install I can access the multitasking menu but as soon as I reboot the device the first time it won't work any longer and I have to re-install the ROM to get it working again (until next reboot). Currently I am running Android Revolution 41.0 with latest ElementalX Kernel (as already mentioned before - I tried other ROMs and Kernels too).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmallMan123:
It could be that you have to hold the the home menu to bring up the multitasking

No. This will open Google Now. Long Press brings me to the multitasking menu on other ROMs (Omni...) but not on Sense.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeRo2o9:
try holding the home button or double tapping home. some roms are set up different. if you cant figure it out you can always use an xposed mod to change what the home button does and set it to long press or double tap
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamingmayr:
I tried out double tapping and holding the home button. As I said before - holding home will open Google Now and double tap will just act as two normal tapps on home (closes App and brings me to home screen). Is there an XPosed Module you can recommend?

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tleclair:
After rooting my tablet today using the prerooted.tar.md5 worked succesfully. however it changed my model to t210, i lost use of my IR blaster, been bogging down, sometimes coming unresponsive i did a hard reset on it thinking maybe i had too many apps as well as the 3d next launcher and instead of picking and choosing just did that. So is there a firmware out to get my IR blaster working and model back to the t210R. is there a different md5 file for rooting which has better luck and what is everyone's take on using SuperSu's unroot method. i would also like to still be able to get samsung updates as well.

Thank You much in advance,

You hve 2 ways to become your ir module working

1. Flash Stockrom with Odin

Or

2. Take a look to the rocket tab lite thread at the dev section.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tleclair:
I did the rocket tab this morning IR seems to still not be responsive. I have a newer philips tv so should work amd has worked in the past. My model number is still changed to t210 instead of the 210R. I never made a recovery of the stock rom. Anywhere I can get it?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAFU21:
Try to find it on sammobile.com . My brother root my nephew tab 3 7.0 with the same file u used. But his is acting weird. He sais to me when the system boots the screen star like flashing. I got one stock. I will see if i can root it using other method i saw after my brother's issue to see if i can get him a nandroid so he can restore his tab. By the way which firmware stock you had? Mine ends on mj1.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bierma32:
You find the stock Rom at sammobil.com , download this ,flash it with Odin
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tleclair:
Honestly, I never looked at it before rooting. I rushed into the root because normally I never have a problem of having togo back to stock so no recovery was made either. But I used guide from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2450738 so now buildnis mg4.

Compiling CM11/Kitkat for pico! PART 2

reserved

Also, yes, you could use this localmanifest here: https://github.com/PicoKat/local_manifest/blob/dev/local_manifest.xml

but, you'd miss out the learning process :p

Anyways, this post would take up part 2 of the tutorial.

This is purely device specific. and, there's already a guide on android development section (of this device), the reason why I didn't make a new thread.

part 2 begins here:

Ok, so, you'd synced the repos?

Now, as opposed to roomservice, I'd prefer manually cloning the device tree, kernel, and vendors.

Clone a device tree (galaxyfreak's, or mine), into /device/htc/pico.

Clone the kernel sources from here: https://github.com/PicoKat/android_kernel_htc_pico

Clone the vendor tree from here: https://github.com/PicoKat/android_vendor_htc_pico

(note: if you are using my device tree, that has ION, you'd have to use my vendor tree, with updated blobs here: https://github.com/vineethraj49/android_vendor_htc_pico)

Ok, so that part's setup.

Now, lets move on to cherry-picking, and/or patching some stuff (from legaCyMod).

Note: you could have just added these to local_manifest too...

android_build:

Hopefully, you should know how to add remotes, and working with them, if not, click on the show content, below (as a sample for android_build):

git remote add legacymod git://github.com/legaCyMod/android_build.git
git fetch legacymod cm-11.0
git cherry-pick <commit-id>

where commit id's the looong "number" following /commit/ in the URL.

1. always rebuild build.prop

2. bringing back squisher

3. Removing TTS data

4. Revert adding auditd

5. add kitkat sdk versions

6. Revert "add drawables for all densities" (seriously, this saves space.)

7. adding support for our recovery :p

frameworks/av:

1. enable meta mode for video msm7x27a

2.bring back support for legacy omx

3. support legacy qcom audio variant

vendor/cm:

1. bring back squisher

2. revert adb authentication (yea, screw adb while dev'ving

3. remove ze bloats

Next, clone media-legacy to hardware/qcom/media-legacy, and display-legacy to hardware/qcom/display-legacy.

waait!!!!

You need to do some patches in some files. required to fix up camera.

patch two files, manually, making some sense out of this:

frameworks/base: https://github.com/szezso/vivo_cm11_patches/blob/d819363fe7d181e73841d3fa35c1b8c0c7d7c046/frameworks_base.patch

frameworks/av: https://github.com/szezso/vivo_cm11_patches/blob/2f1c87f4453c1c7c88e3c7d2b011994f894fe669/frameworks_av.patch

The next step:

Get prebuilts, seriously.

cd vendor/cm
./get-prebuilts

Then, "cd" back to root of source dir.

Run the following commands:

. build/envsetup.sh
brunch pico -j4

Hopefully, you should see an output package by the end of <insert-time-directly-propotional-to-crappiness-of-computer>
