Ok

The message about converting is normal. It's diplayed every time you copy any file between PC and PDA.

Apparently, Activesync's file transfer is very buggy, and I had trouble with it too, several times.

Do you have a chinese version of activesync software ?

If not, try to download and install chinese activesync 3.8 from microsoft.

If everything fails. Copy your MP3s to SD card using SD-card reader or camera.

It's not a true solution, but you also can remove chinese characters from filenames.

Good luck.
[General Topics] gsfthen:
Yes I suspect it might be MS Active sync too. Will try your suggestions. Many thanks again. :)
[General Topics] Robson:
as per robal's response, it's actually faster if you copy and paste the mp3 files via the sd-card reader as compared to copying the files through activesync. whenever i need to put files in my sd, i take it out and use the card reader; this way the laptop treats it just like any other usb memory device...rather than going through activesync.

although i haven't really tried putting "chinese" mp3s; i don't think the chinese characters are a problem. it's the extension or file type which the computer normally looks for.

cheers
[General Topics] gsfthen:
Indeed, writing onto the MMC+ card using a multi-card reader did solved all the problem. Many thanks for all your help! This is a great forum. :D
[LG Optimus G Pro] JohnnyDude:
Hello fellow LG Optimus G Pro fans. Like many of you, I've got my LG Optimus G Pro fairly customized to my desires, but I have a rather irksome problem left.

Q: How can I get rid of the carrier label?

The carrier label on my phone is remarkably intrusive! I use Airvoice Wireless, which is great and dirt cheap, but my status bar is eternally plastered with "AIRVOICE WIRELESS":

I found this helpful thread, which involves removing the "AT&T" label from the status bar: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2346960

However, I could not get this to work. My guess was that it was because I'm not using "AT&T" strictly. Is that a correct inference? I did get the similar "hide quick launch" mod to work. So, I have some reason to believe I applied this patch correctly.

Some additional info that might be relevant:

I am using the stock rom, but rooted

I have the AT&T E980

I also looked into "GravityBox" and other similar soft-mods, I didn't find a solution there.

I flashed the associated mods with TWRP recovery mod

Also, I would post to that thread directly, but as a "new user" with less than 10 posts, I'm unable to do so. Sorry for the clutter. :(
[LG Optimus G Pro] ackliph:
Open /data/data/com.android.sysstemui/files/operator.txt with a root explorer (I love es explorer)

Change whatever is there to TLS, save, and reboot.

You can also try LGU and OPEN.
[LG Optimus G Pro] JohnnyDude:
Fantastic! This worked like charm. Thank you!:)

For the record, my file said "ATT", and I changed it to "TLS"
[LG Optimus G Pro] stew1411:
I tried this. When I open com.android.systemui there is no folder called files. Only cache, and a file called lib. I'm using root explorer on stock 4.4.2
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] smokarz:
Sorry, I am probably opening a can of worms here but that's not my intentions.

I am not trying to ask what's the best rom (I understand that's a highly debatable question). I only like to find a ROM that meets my needs well.

What am I looking for? A rom that is lean, fast, and reliable. I like to flashed it once and leave it at that. Maybe flash again in 6 months or so if necessary.

I am

NOT

looking for a ROM that's the most advanced, or one that's extremely customizable and comes with lots of bells and whistles.

I guess just a very solid, clean, light weight, and dependable ROM for the average/casual user.

Thanks for any feedbacks.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I always themed touchwiz to look like AOSP until AOSP was stable enough. It just looks so.... well, lets just say, I think I inadvertently designed touchwiz back in the 1980's with crayons.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukas_s:
If it's the look of the launcher you like, you can easily achieve that with Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher.

If it's the "functionality" of the launcher that you like...well, buy a Samsung. I don't think there are too many Nexus devs pining to port the absolutely bloated Touchwiz over to the Nexus 5.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] johnnyohar:
i have been trying to flash a custom recovery on my virgin mobile samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g touch...but i have never done this before... it has android 4.1.2 and the build is GB28.. im not sure at all how to do this so if someone could help it would be greatly appriciated. my end goal is to get CyanogenMod on my phone but like i said have never done this before. thanks in advance!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
1. Download full ROM, verify MD5 checksum and copy to phone SD storage. And download GApps and do the same. Also download the FL24 Modem as you will need that as well.

2. Download and copy Jellybean X2 Format utility to SD storage: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2077277

3. Install EL29 Directboot kernel. It can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1662295

( Look for: GB - Direct Boot CWM )

Note: .tar file is for flashing with Mobile Odin, .zip is for flashing in recovery (you probably don't have one), and .exe file is for flashing with Odin on PC.

4. Reboot into recovery, flash JB X2 Format then the ROM. You may flash the modem at this point if you like (required to run CM), but no other mods until ROM has fully booted the first time.

***Note- EL29 cannot flash modems- however, you can always flash it after the ROM boots with the built-in recovery***

5. Let ROM boot fully and settle for a couple of minutes during the initial boot. (It will take around 10 minutes)
[Galaxy S III General] jinosong:
People experience battery drain issues after restoring their EFS and have no clue why. I did too for several months until I found out the solution. I think many people are not correctly setting permissions after restoring. You may be able to make calls but you will still experience crazy multipdp and wlan wakelocks. Fortunately, there is a very simple solution that will solve this problem.

Connect via ABD or install Terminal Emulator from the PlayStore.

Type in the following commands:

su

chmod -R 777 /efs <--- (Keep in mind, the R has to be uppercase.)

exit

That's it. If you check the efs folder, you'll see that everything in the efs folder is accessible. Although, it isn't the most elegant solution, your phone will at least have access to everything it needs for it to operate correctly. You'll see a dramatic increase in battery life if you hadn't restored permissions previously.

Cheers.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
Look at the HDMI receptacle on the motherboard. Its lower part might have come apart (bent out) and prevented good connection between its pins and those of the cable. Bend it back in so the "teeth" will lock together again, and put some sort of brace around it. Then it will work again. Good luck.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
Yeah I think that is just the notification when there is an app waiting for you to update, but when you're on wifi it auto updates and notifies you it updated the app. That's my take on it, but I don't know specifically what notification you're getting and never tried to disable that notification

Looks amazing but .... How is it for speed, lag, smoothness, fluidity etc compared to touchwiz and particularly nova launcher
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] KobrakaiMM:
Tried it and went back

I had this installed for less than a day. It looks great and gives you loads of freedom. Also has a lot of nice gimmicks.

Ultimately it wasn't for me. Slow animations, couple of crashes, doesn't run well without a notification icon.. Also the desktop switcher looks dreadful (IMO) and you can't really change it the way that I would like.

Also has the worst app drawer if seen. No way to sort apps manually, no way to make the side margins bigger (to move the app icons closer to the center of the screen).. And animated flames on newly downloaded apps... It's a matter of taste I guess.

I got a refund. Great launcher, but not worth the price (even discounted). I'll stick with Nova. I really advice to try before you buy.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] redplate:
It's not really true what you're saying. I'm using latest version of TSF since a few days and hadn't one single crash. I don't know what you doing wrong.

Slow animations? Not true. I love the way i can customize this launcher. The animations are smooth and very nice. l can't absolutely understand what you're saying. Except the price.

So this launcher is great. The dockbar isn't static and great to work with a tablet. Also switching between sides and appdrawer with using the pen only is unique to this launcher. 0k,Next Launcher is going a similar way.

l like TSF. It's a very intuitive launcher. Definitely worth a try and i will stay with it. Apex or Noca are great launchers (i like nova more cuz of it's nicer looking hiding dock animation). But TSF is something different. A customizable, intuitive launcher with a very good desktop management for working.

Edit: in connection with All in One Gestures even better.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] KobrakaiMM:
Hard to see how it's not true since these are my experiences and opinions. I'm glad the launcher is working out for you though.

The animations are not slow as in laggy or anything. The launcher just has these detailed and long animations. It takes a second compared to the minimalistic and fast animations of Nova.

My point is that Nova gets the job done. It's fast and stable. TSF is something you have to experience, because you either love it or hate it. (And again, that's my opinion)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] solomhamada:
i tried this launcher before, and found it gimmiki

i double on every thing you mentioned

and may i add that it's resource consuming

and has a VERY STEEP learning curve
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] redplate:
There are no long animations lol... its as fast as apex or nova. I'm using TSF since days in work and for playing. Long testing period and its stable and.. fast for me. IMO i suggest you to check your os. There must be something wrong :P

The l launcher runs great and have more useful features for desktop management then any other launcher. One great example is the lasso mode by double clicking for selecting more icons then just one. So you have to admit novas learning curve is continually on one level.

I started this for several reasons.

1) For those who have deleted some system/app(s) & want to manually restore to get ready for the KK ota.

2) /persist dilemma. It is only on our phone yet both recoveries allow you to format it but do not back it up!!!! http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48941876&postcount=2061

3) /firmware Also not backed up. Both recoveries format it. But Rsd lite will restore it.

I put some very obscure folders here & they may never be needed! DO NOT GO & restore these just because I attached them! If it ain't broke don't fix it!

Get the full zip here http://batakang.com/ftp/?dir=devs/mhous33/XT907/98.30.1

It is the largest one there!

You can extract even a single system/app with Explorer free & paste it with es file to get OTA ready

But some /partitions are only on the phone. Some are created on boot

1 folder not ANYWHERE BUT ON YOUR PHONE is /persist.

Persist permissions are here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2589790

Some wonder why Vzw does not want us rooting?

/Firmware is in the xml/fxz.

/System/app

/Vendor

/Firmware

/System/media.... stock boot animation/Dst animation.

Use Rom Manager fix perms for now. It has never failed me. Set them to all. Then run RM>fix permissions & reboot.

Permissions & ownership need to be set before use.

Rom Manager fix permissions is one good reason to have that app even if it did not WORK on our M, but it does.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] hellrose1228:
Hello everyone,

As most of you wifi tethering users probably know, Verizon managed to block our wifi hotspot with the OTA update to 4.2.2.

This left us users searching for other limited options of tethering until now. I can now confirm with the latest update to Foxfi our wifi tethering woes are over. Foxfi has designed a way to work around the 4.2.2 software and bypass the Verizon hotspot entitlement check using VPN. Please be aware that there are 2 downsides to this.

1.A Certificate must be installed in order for Foxfi to access the VPN.

(This is automatically done inside the app)

2. With the installation of the certificate you will be prompted to use a pin, pattern, or password as a lockscreen.

You are no longer able to use Swipe, Facelock, or "none" as your lockscreen. This is completely reversable though.

Notes*

How to reverse screen lock-

To Reverse screen lock enter Android settings>choose security>"clear credentials". Now you will be able to change back to your original lockscreen. this must be done everytine you use foxfi. Once you enter Foxfi again you will be prompted to re-install the certificate. *there is no byass for this ATM*

If Foxfi doesn't work- some users are reporting that they must reboot their phone up to 3 times after installing the apk. Be sure to try this before posting any "its not working" posts

Foxfi is a free and paid app. The free version only allows up to 30 minutes of connectivity before having to restart the hotspot. I do recommend purchasing the app but for the cheapskates out there there are other ways to get full version but you will have to do some googling for that on your own.

Foxfi does not require root access.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] EvlTwizted1:
Other option to remove screen lock

I have FoxFi and I downloaded a free app called no lock. I do not even have to swipe. whenever I hit my power button I go right to the screen.

Someone asked me to share this for the Note 3 Peeps...

I compiled the AOSP browser for 4.3.

I added Adobe Flash.

I put it in a flashable zip.

I made it for you...

Note 1: There are a couple string errors that are not a huge deal. The most notable is the "Search this page" says something like "Company info." Strange but it doesnt impact the functionality of the browser. I'll try to recompile it for the Nexus 4 and see if that makes a difference. This was compiled as a Nexus 10 base.

Note 2: Always make back up before you flash!!!

Eitherway...
