There was a guy in the t989 forum once .... Bought his phone... Got home, tried to flash whatever.... And was hard bricked 30 minutes after he got home. Went to the store he got it from.... Said it was doa.... Got a new one, got home.... Oooops.... Brick again. Back to store.... Cried and yelled at them cause he got 2 dud phones in a row. (all this was him telling the story, not me assuming)

Third phone in only a few hours.... This time he turned his brain on... And asked for help before he did anything. So.... All this took place in the t989 S2 forum..... Yes.... S2. Some kind folks found out what he did wrong.... Twice.... And to cover up his mistakes, he played the victim and tore into the store clerk. Guess what...... He had an S3 the whole time. ;)

There are many like him..... And they are part of the reason they are cracking down on us flashers and making sure we can't get replacements after we mess up our phones. (well... I suppose the phone makers wouldn't have caught this guy.... The store just swapped him out twice since it all happened the same day)

True story. Too many don't read or learn anything anymore.... They use toolkits.... They post threads /posts hoping to have their hand held through rooting and flashing..... And again.... They don't read. Lifes too short to do homework these days I guess..... For some anyway. :)

I think if you can't afford to buy a replacement in case you screw up your new device, then you should leave it alone. Day one I voided my warranty on my past 3 phones and my N7.....And if I wreck them.... Or my hardware fails... I will sadly buy another one. Maybe I'll get smart next time and by a Dev version. Lol

So far so good tho.... Never had a phone die. ;)

Well that is definitely not good but most people are not going to be in that boat.. And I voided my warranty too and will eat the 75 if it comes to it but I think this policy needs to be reviewed.

Yo!

Does a WIDCOMM Bluetooth driver install exist anywhere for the Xda Exec PPC???? Is so, where can I get my paws on said driver?

The WIDCOMM Bluetooth driver both on the PC and PPC I think is the answer to many Bluetooth problems as it goes beyond the rudamentary support offered by the Windows one.

Install WIDCOMM drivers on both the PC & PPC and unlock some serious Bluetooth power!!!!

I find it totally insane that such cool opportunities for Bluetooth are now completely dashed because a company (Broadcon Corporation) buys up WIDCOMM and then retracts availablity of these drivers. :twisted: :evil:

Increases in Thai language in KitKat rom(4.4) I tried many ways to do it, then do not.

Thai language is don't show in rom.

soory for bad eng
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] arpitkh96:
There is a way.its long and easy.but you should know your language fully and another language like english
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] masara59:
tell me please.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] arpitkh96:
In every app there is values folder.in which there is strings.xml. So what you have to do is decompile every app(in which you want your lauguage).go in values >strings.xml and replace every english string with your launguage and recompile it.it is not necessary to do in values folder only.you can also do it in other folders like values-en,values-it.where last 2letters stands for respective language.so when you have done this.then go in settings and select that language in which you have made your modifications.thats it

Note-you will have to do this in framework-res.apk also

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bannockburn1314:
Hi all, Hoping you guys can help me out in regards to this samsung knox that is being forced on us. As things stand i have the s4 mini gti9195 was originally o2 branded so i flashed to generic i9195xxuamh1 btu uk firmware as far as i know this doesnt have the knox included. I see now there is a newer firmware available to me the I9195XXUBMJ7_I9195BTUBMJ1_BTU but i believe this includes the knox addition.

So as much as ive read i still dont know what this knox is i know what samsung says security blah blah blah but what does it mean for those who want the option to use custom roms? if my binary gets set to 0x1 does it just mean that my warranty is void and id have to pay for repairs? or does it mean that i wouldnt be able to use a custom rom? or revert back to stock?. Am just not getting it. Whats my best bet do i want this knox on my phone or should i just refuse to upgrade firmwares cant help but feel im missing out pretty sure that kit kat is just around the corner.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks

In summary :)

- In some countries Knox Void 0x1 = Void Warranty = u pay for repairs yes

- My advise is : take that stock rom unpack it and delete Knox bootloader before u flash it here is a small guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2549357

- If u have a choice DO NOT flash new Knox bootloader u do not need it :)

thanks silviumik im in a windows enviroment but i seen from your other thread that there is a way to remove knox using 7zip and TAR_MD5_PACKAGER can you explain how i do this?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilviuMik:
Just extract your rom with 7-zip and delete those 4 files aboot.mbn sbl1.mbn sbl2.mbn sbl3.mbn

Place the remaining files inside TAR_MD5_PACKAGER /parts folder ( boot.img cache.img.ext4 hidden.img.ext4 NON-HLOS.bin recovery.img rpm.mbn system.img.ext4 tz.mbn )

And run the TAR.MD5_PACKAGER.bat u get the options there :)

First is "1" and then after u name your file for ex: myrom , then u press "2" to add md5 :)

Flash the file with Odin and u are good to go :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bannockburn1314:
okay think im following you took me a while to work out the 7zip thing.

So i extracted rom files with 7zip and deleted the 4 files aboot.mbn sbl1.mbn sbl2.mbn sbl3.mbn . Now i copied boot.img cache.img.ext4 hidden.img.ext4 NON-HLOS.bin recovery.img rpm.mbn system.img.ext4 tz.mbn and placed in the TAR_MD5_PACKAGER /parts folder. i have now run the TAR.MD5_PACKAGER.bat and get 4 options do i want option 1 make tar or option 2 add md5 to tar ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilviuMik:
Correct :) first tar it and then add md5 to it :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bannockburn1314:
i anticipated that you would say option 1 make tar so i selected that one it then asked me to name it so i called it the rom name I9195XXUBMJ7_I9195BTUBMJ1_I9195XXUBMJ7_HOME.tar now its named it I9195XXUBMJ7_I9195BTUBMJ1_I9195XXUBMJ7_HOME.tar.tar

giving me two .tar at end of name should i change that and start again?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilviuMik:
Yes name the rom without .tar in name it will add it manually ;)

Just make sure u name it different then what u have so u don`t accidentaly flash the wrong one :P
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bannockburn1314:
ok so think ive done everything correct apart from the naming i now have a md5 in the packaged folder but its named I9195XXUBMJ7_I9195BTUBMJ1_I9195XXUBMJ7_HOME.tar.tar

should i just rename it and delete a .tar or start again from scratch
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilviuMik:
If u just rename it it will break md5 and u will get an error in Odin

Just start again :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bannockburn1314:
what do you mean name it differently? man im dumb
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilviuMik:
Hehe :)

Maybe the english barrier comes in place :)

So ... press button "1" in TAR.MD5_PACKAGER

U will get a screen where it will ask u for the name of the file

Type : I9195XXUBMJ7_I9195BTUBMJ1_I9195XXUBMJ7_PERSONAL . U can replace PERSONAL with ANYTHING u want :) i put on mine SILVIU

And then press button "2"

This way u will not mistake the ORIGINAL rom with the rom u just made !
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bannockburn1314:
ok re did it and now have my md5 so im good to go the file SS_DL.dll doesnt need to be modified? i can flash now?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilviuMik:
U do not need SS_DL.dll .

Before u flash OPEN the file u did ( do not extract ) and look if everything is alright in there :) U should have only the files u repacked

Like in the picture

Then u can flash it with Odin :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bannockburn1314:

i notice that the selinux status has changed from permissive to enforcing is this anything to worry about?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilviuMik:
To answer your 2 questions :)

First about Knox apps, u can ignore them they can`t do anything without bootloader part . Or u can delete them IF u will root your phone ( Knox apps were there on phone on previous firmware too )

Second SeLinux thing will be a little pain in the ass if u decide to root BUT u can manage to pass it :)

If u keep your phone this way will work without problems :)

Just remember in future if u get an OTA update do not make it :) or u risk getting Knox bootloader :)

Just update your phone with Odin and this method with removing knox and u are good to go
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bannockburn1314:
ok good to know that the knox apps are not anything to worry about but now when i check for updates i get this really worrying message that my device has been modified so i will not get future updates see attached thumbnail

so does this mean my warranty is void and i will no longer recieve ota updates

knox boot/kernel

My device was upgraded to knox kernel now it wont let me flash custom ROMs. Is there any way to revert to old bootloader? or if i remove the knox parts from factory flash and reflash device will that work?

Thanks,
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrgrrg:
no !!! :( ... once u get knox flag to 0x1 it cannot be back to 0x0 by any means ..if u downgrade the bootloader the system will crash and knox will be 0xffffffc ... best choices are

-saferoot (keeps 0x0 ,no recovery or custom kernels are allowed .. only supersu )..this option if in your country doesnt allow knox-0x1 devices

get repaired freely or its a work phone so 0x1 devices become disqualified

-just turn the flag to 0x1 :silly: and flash a custom rom with a custom kernel and enjoy !!! :laugh:

Can anybody suggest what is going on here?

I have found that if I install the Skyscanner flight app (which is very good for flight searches), then the screen starts to flicker and jitter. Once the flickering starts, then it happens everywhere, and only stops after a full reboot (it seems that a software reboot isn't enough to clear it).

The flickering starts as slight jittering, often jumping to the right a little - it's as though the screen loses sync. Then, there is colour flicker, and sometimes coloured pixels are left behind at the bottom of the screen.

I have tried this on two different stock ROM Droid 4s, and both exhibit the behaviour.

Does anybody know what's going on, and if there is a fix/solution?

I am I9500 user. I was using 4.3 arrow rom. And unexpected stucks and reboots. So i was bored. I tried to make full factory reset from kies. But it says your phone is not supporting to make reset. :eek::eek:

After that i made a research about it. People say its about csc. Okey understood i should change my csc to my original country. But here is the problem. Idiot me tried to flash 4.2.2 with odin when phone was 4.3. Ofcourse it said "FAIL". :mad:

Now phone says" Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Okey i did that and kies said me "GT-I9500 is not supporting to fully reset or something like that..":crying:

I can't change csc, can't factory reset, can't enter recovery mode, just enters download mod and otherway says fw upgrade encountered.

So what i should i do now ? I am downloading stock 4.3 for my country. This is my last shot... Any suggestions ? :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
1. Install Kies 3 coz its for android 4.3

2. See ur CSC like in the pic attached -> (KOR)

Yes, but:

1. U will have to download any STOCK ROM with android 4.3, flash it with ODIN and let ur phone load till finish and enter in HOME window

2. Install Kies 3 in ur pc

3. Conect it for know ur CSC (as the post #2)

4. Download again from Sammobile the correct firmware for ur CSC

5. Flash it with Odin again

6. When u finish the process Kies 3 will be able to load ur phone correctly

7. Enjoy :highfive:

[Zooper Widget General] S.D.Richards:
What I'd like to achieve is something like this

Me: something (day, time, location)
Wife: something (day, time, location)
Garbage: what (when)
Dinner: something
Birthday: who (when)

The data comes from my G-calendar, which has the respective sub-calendars.

The problem is, I always want to have it sorted like this, but I can't find a way to do it, since I only seem to be able to select appointment X, but I can't tell from which calendar. A workaround is to create multiple single line widgets and only selecting a single calendar source for it. But that's messy and problematic when moving around.

I guess I could built a dozen if-conditions around it, but that gets even messier, so can someone think of a good solution and be nice enough to share it with me? Thanks.
[Zooper Widget General] kwerdenker:
I don't think there is any good way to do it based on the way Zooper handles calendars/events. To me the variant with multiple widgets and only one calendar each probably is the only viable way at the moment.
[Zooper Widget General] S.D.Richards:
It's an "ok" way for my phone, since I'm running Lightning Launcher and thus have no grid and can resize them, on my SO's phone it's problematic, since she uses a launcher with a fixed 5x5 layout and that calendar widget would use a whole page :/

Related question, is there a way to query the phone calendar store without fiddling with sqlite? There is python and googlecl, which I could use to script the required output, but as far as I see from Zooper's documentation, there's a 500ms timeout for shell commands and that would be problematic to query Google's servers in that time, espacially while on mobile data.

A simple solution like #C{X}A{Y}[Rest]# would be perfect, X being the calendar to use, Y the required number for an appointment and Rest the usual like title, time, etc.

Hi,

I released my small game for Android few days ago.

The game is an unusual sliding block puzzle. It's inspired by classic games like Traffic Jam and Rush Hour, but also has few unique features which makes the game more varied (and harder). You must help snakes eat all frogs on the level. Your goal is to unblock the path for a snake by moving and swapping others.

Check it out on the Google Play Store: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extreality.snakeslikefrogsfree
