[Moto X Q&A] brian Marshall:
Hmmmm am I finally an XDA veteran now since someone called me a **** because I asked them to read something.

There was no offense intended. I was just trying to help. I only mentioned network HDDs to make the point that there's little need to store media on your phone (unless you can't get a signal of course)

XDA is generally not very forgiving if you don't take the time to READ. Even less forgiving if you are provided an answer and reply without reading it. Go through just about any question forum on here and half answers to half the topics are "do a search" or "read." If you are sensitive about it XDA may not be the place for you. We all watched the video when we signed up. We are all just NOOBs right? :)

Anyway I hope you've got it figured out.
[Moto X Q&A] xpsychox:
To be fair, I didn't call u a ****, just said a **** move.. However, that's not the point, The artical you sent me actually never said to do this, and it'll do this... I just happen to remember someone else I know (not on XDA) that said that you have to download the Music Manager to use in Google Play Music. I did end up takeing the time to fully read it when I got home, it talked about how to use it. But as far as i recall, it never said anything about how to play music from the drive... also, I guess it never uploaded it to the drive?! Sooooooo I don't know where it uploaded to, but it lets me play from the store.. so it's VERY nice.. and your right, alot of people don't take the time to read the forums, I was actually LITERALLY just talking about that on another topic... But when I responded I was responding to the rest of what you had mentioned... Long story short, it all works just fine..
[Moto X Q&A] vikramkhalsa:
Did you get it working?

Do you understand how google play music works yet? cause you still sound confused..

Google music has nothing to do with google drive, or how much free cloud storage you have. Its a separate service where you use google music manager to upload up to 25,000 songs for free, to a separate area, and then you can use the google music app or website to stream that music on any device with an internet connection.

Hope you got everything working! :)
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Lol. I'm a vet and was called a **** just a few days back for suggesting someone read and learn something. ;)

Welcome to the club. Lol

[Moto X Q&A] Coop9:
Google music is the best way to do this IMO. Paired with an all access subscription, it's the best way to combine your music that you own with a huge streaming library.

However, there is an app that will play music stored on Google Drive or Dropbox. It's called Beat, and available in the play store.
[Moto X Q&A] brian Marshall:
oh well there goes my veteran status. :silly:

It actually does if you follow the links step by step. That particular page does make it seem a bit more complicated than it actually is though. Perhaps it would have been better if I'd linked you directly to the download page for music manager as it seems (to me) that the process is self explanatory. You seemed to be having trouble wrapping your head around the two services being separate so I thought it would be better to send you to a place with links to more information.

I'm glad you got it working and that I was able to help.

I never meant any offense. I've certainly received the noob treatment from a few people here, but in general the answers are there.

I think the general format of a webforum is problematic for Q&A (or even development threads) because you end up with a lot people trying to help answer the same questions over and over which inevitably end up buried in an ocean of irrelevant noise.
[Moto X Q&A] xpsychox:
Yeah...that's true.. Well many it was there but I didn't see it..but I have over looked it.. Anyways its working..I have noticed they added a sweet feature that I was use to on playerpro they added the swipe to skip...solo glad..makes it easier..epically when ur use to it..lol

[Galaxy Note 3 General] nxneko:
I thought I was going insane when the N9005 cable to me looked so scrawny & tiny (I have a UAE Blush), but then I compared it to my SM-900T & the 900T cable is a full foot longer. Whys samsung even bother...I have never heard of this happening, but its amusing.

Not entirely sure about the varied lengths between the 900* and 9005 between regions besides this one but...I honestly dont see why people outside of NA have to suffer with stupidly shorter cables, Unless its a UAE thing but it couldnt even go behind a dresser, maybe I lost the secret cable cutting length war.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] winol:
cable lenght

I was wondering about this too, I am from mexico, and my cable is the longest, 130 cm, and the thickest, 4 mm, in some way it is a little cumbersome, so, I got a wireless charger, it charges at a slower rate, but has the aditional benefit of less wearing off the usb port, I charge my phone at night, so the charging time is not important, an? I carry a rechargeable batt charger of 3000 mA in my car
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JAMIE1000UK:
Mine seemed loads shorter then my previous s4 and s3 cables. This one doesn't even reach my bed.

It's really annoying seen as though it is the new usb 3.0 design and other cables charge slower..

Samsung are pushing my patience lately with all the knox crap and software faults etc.. seem they are really going downhill.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
Yup my cable seems pretty short also compared to my S3 cable. Must be some reasoning behind it though. - I have USB fast charge enabled too so it helps a bit in regards to i can leave it for a short while and it'll have enough juice to do what I need before the overnight charge :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nicholaschum:
This.....is a very secretly suggestive thread......
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nxneko:
Carrier cables seem to be longer, ordering an oem pulled from 900* should solve that problem though

Doubt it since 3.0 cables come longer but yah its way shorter.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ReNeH99:
my n9005 cable is 50 cm long.. damn short
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hene193:
Yeah. Mine too... It's too short.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
Mine's exactly 1 meter, bought in Germany.

Ah, no, they don't. The Note 3 transfers at usb3.0 speed, but it can only

charge at 2.0 speed.

Using a 2.0 cable really makes no difference...

Is there any solution for sending vCard or Nokia style contact information/business card via SMS?

Standard solution creates MMS message which delivers a card correctly to any Nokia phone, but as MMS which is more expensive than SMS.

Any ideas, anyone?

You could use O2 Sms plus to do that but the program stricly for sending vcard unless you install the o2 rom. I will try to upload it tonight.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] nomanland:
You could try this small application. It works fine for me but to be able to send Vcard, you have to add the +country code in front of the received mobile phone number and also you can only send to contacts that have been saved as "mobile phone".

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] scubaham:
I'm been running the ROM since you posted it and it runs very smooth.

A couple of minor issues I've seen but it could be my settings:

Settings>Carbon Fibers>Lockscreen >Active Display: I had to turn this off, though I like the feature. It kept wanting to wake up my device and seemed to interfere with the battery charging because it kept waking up the tablet.

Status bar and menu bar disappear occasionally. A quick press off of the power button then back on brings it back. i haven't been able to pinpoint the cause. Like I said, it could be a tweak or a setting on my end unrelated to the ROM.

Thanks for your work on this!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
Thanks! I'm glad to know that it works. I'll try to get an LTE one up.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] dwcasey:
confession...

Was not expecting much from ROM since I have installed a couple of other KK ROMs on my KFHD89 and they were just 'ok' ( not wanting to dis their work, it is very much appreciated ). Well, I am pleasantly surprised with Carbon :D :good:

Mostly two things, performance...everything seems smoother, silkier, quicker...and battery is pretty excellent. I understand some of that is related to KK, but I sense some differences with Carbon.

Still have issue with some apps crashing on launch after install...where the solution is to backup and restore with Titanium Backup...wish this was not needed as a 'fix' ... also, it doesn't work with all apps.

Other than that, it's great and hope OP continue to keep us KFHD89 folks updated with fresh KK...at least for a little while :D

Thank you!

Does XBMC Run?

Does XBMC work ok on Carbon?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] dwcasey:
XBMC

I am not an XBMC user, however I was able to download XBMC from the Play store and launch it. It allows me to search for/connect to an XBMC host.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] zahir32:
Thanks

Thank you for experimenting. I don't think the Playstore has the regular XBMC media center; you may have tested the XBMC Remote app or something similar.

XBMC for Android can only be downloaded here:

http://xbmc.org/download/

I'm still looking for a Kit Kat build that is compatible.

Thank you again.

Found somewhere else on XDA

Kindle app crashing has a workaround: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48928053#post48928053

Short answer:

download Build.prop Editor from the Play store and use it to change the ro.product.manufacturer line from Amazon to Samsung.

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

I downloaded and successfully installed the XBMC app from the link you provided. It went through the 'preparing for first run', I am able to swipe through various bits of the menu...I see scrolling news at the bottom. I was able to use the Weather app. Appears to be working. Not sure what else I could do or test with this app.

edit: I added a couple of 'channels' like HGTV and DIY...I was able to start playing/streaming a show on the HGTV channel.

edit2: forgot to mention, it flips the screen 180, but when you turn the tablet to reorient, it sticks, it doesn't flip back.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] zahir32:

You are great. Your experiments have convinced me to install Carbon Rom and go from there. Many thanks.

Good to have another option

Loving the other KitKat Jem ROMs here as well, I appreciated your comment about wanting to keep this device section from getting too boring! Glad to hear there's still activity on the LTE front, although I realize that's a tricky one. I'm not expecting miracles here, just glad to hear about the interest. Thanks for all of it!

I tried to check for an update on custom ROM and got the ur device is modded and can't get updates. As expected but I also get the same message when I restore to stock rooted. Will I need to unroot to receive the update. Never had a problem accepting an update b4. Lost root of course but that's it. Anybody wanna chime in? Thanx in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] FLBoy1991:
What I do is Odin back to stock... Data wipe... Flash through Odin a second time... Data wipe again... And you should be able to accept updates again :thumbup::sly::cool::D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drewbuntu:
You can get OTA updates when your phone reports back, in Odin mode, with "Official" for both Samsung and Status

in short you will need to revert to stock ROM and recovery and wipe it 2-3 times like [MENTION=4680011]FLBoy1991[/MENTION] said

Hi Guys! Im starting to freak out because my CM Flare s100 wont start..

Heres what happened.

I rooted my phone

I replaced the original bootanimation.zip to my custom "bootanimation.zip"

I restarted the phone

The Cherry Mobile Splash Screen Shows

Then after that it's just a black screen on bootanimation, then my phone just stuck in there

I want to get the original "bootanimation.zip" but it wont start, can you help me flashing the orinigal bootanimation.zip from the recovery mode?

Help Guys! Thanks!

just wipe everything in recovery then reboot.

although it erases everything you installed but it should make your Flare running again :laugh:

So here is the fun story.

I was trying to get Firefox OS to work on my Sprint LG Optimus G and TWRP saud it failed. I have done this before with no issues really, but the second time made it angry. I know the device powers on because when I plug it up to my computer and hold the power button, the red LED light comes on. I can not get it to boot into anything. No Fastboot, TWRP, Download, or even CM11. All I can do is see a pretty red light. ? Can anyone help me?

[Sprint LG Optimus G] cpberndt:
did you try cwm instead

TWRP has been kind of picky when it comes to installing some roms like when i would try and install cm11 it would not work in TWRP but then after a quick flash to CWM it installs just fine i think its because cwm has the upper hand when it comes to installing possibly broken things where TWRP is for those people who don't want to accidentally ruin their devices because of lack of experience cwm has worked allot better for me and as far as your boot issue goes i would let it charge for a couple hours then hold the power button for 15 seconds so that way its powered off and then attempt to get into download mode. If you can do that then you can use LGNPST_ACG to do a secure boot loader unlock so that way you can flash cwm and go from there. I hope my experience and advice helps you out in your time of need. Good luck we are rooting for you

:)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] mcog:
You have to use the freegee version of twrp to flash cm11.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] cpberndt:
i have tried that before

I have tried using the FreeGee verison of TWRP and it doesn't play nicely with some roms however with the roms that are incompatible with twrp i have installed successfully using cwm v.6.0.4.5 non touch enabled and it has proven to be much more compatible with some roms due to CWM and their relationship with the cyanogenmod team. twrp has a nicer ui however it does tend to have some compatibility issues. I have been developing for about 3 years and i have mainly used cwm until i got a galaxy tab 2 7in wifi with ir blaster then i moved on to twrp and loved it but when i got my ls970 twrp proved to have some issues with a couple of roms. when i tried the same files on cwm they worked just fine. so give cwm a shot it might work let us know how it goes
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
I had the same problem but for a completely different reason a few days ago. I plugged it into the wall for a few minutes and finally got it past that red light and into TWRP. I can't say it will work for you because the causes are completely different(mine was a kernel overclock error - my battery went from 100% - 0% in around 10 minutes and overheated). I plugged it in and saw that red light but it wouldnt turn on - ofcourse panic sets in bc its my only phone and I thought I fried it by overclocking. But I took a deep breathe, left it plugged in and when I came back it booted up. When I got into TWRP my battery read 1%, so I did a full wipe and restored my backup, then my battery read 99%, lol. Again mine was a kernel issue so that may not work for you. Partimus is right, autoprime would surely know - but you may have to do the dreaded battery pull(there are videos on youtube) to reset the phone.

The only problems I've had with TWRP were AOSP 4.4.x related. TWRP 2.5.0.0 has still been the most stable and trustworthy for the ls970 imo. However you need TWRP 2.6.3.x for anything 4.4. And you are right the FreeGee version of TWRP works with CM11 but has issues with other roms. twrp-geespr from chadouming works well on the other roms but not with CM11. However most of the "failed" issues happen with TWRP because of the asserts in the updater-script. If you open the zip and edit or flat out delete the assert it will almost always flash perfectly. I've even flashed unported nexus 4 roms to my device this way(obviously not much worked network wise besides wifi but it still installed and booted into android). CWM 6.0.4.5 seems to flash 4.4 roms fine but since my efs backups are TWRP, I will personally always have to flash back to TWRP if something goes wrong.

But the reason TWRP has compatibility issues is because of those asserts in the updater-script, which are absolutely safety measures. Our phone has been named a lot of things by the devs(ls970, geespr, geehrc4g, etc) so if TWRP checks for geespr but thinks your phone is an ls970, the flash will fail. Even if they are the same thing just named differently - TWRP doesnt know that and will stop the install to protect your device. Noob or not, that's a good thing and could possibly save you from bricking your device. The other issue(and why we can't flash 4.4 from TWRP 2.5.0.0) has to do with the SELinux changes that came with 4.4. Only one 4.4 rom would install for me via TWRP 2.5.0.0 and that was a port of houstonns AOSP4.4 because he disabled the SELinux changes.

So while I agree that CWM 6.0.4.5 seems to work great when installing 4.4.x roms, for as long as Ive had this phone, TWRP 2.5.0.0 has been all around the most stable. If I want to flash 4.4 I will install CWM or TWRP from recovery but always end up going back to TWRP 2.5.0.0 because I know it keeps my efs safe. ;) But if you are keeping your 4.4 rom, you have no choice but to stick with updated TWRP or CWM and in this case I have heard of less issues with CWM than TWRP.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] mcog:
Yeah, I never had compatibility issues until 4.4

Yes. I did. I also have a spare guitar pick if it doesnt work.
