First of all I would like to say thank you to "thereaperman" from Modaco Frums for this great help ! I took this from him and making it accessible to this forum easily for others to use !

Here are his steps:

STEP 1 : INSTALL TOMTOM5

You do this by copying the CAB files from the CDROM (eg F:\PocketPC) to the K-JAM and launch one by one from there with the explorer of the K-JAM

.

You can install voices the same manner by copying the CAB files to the K-JAM (eg from F:\Voice on the CDROM)

STEP 2 : UPGRADE TO V5.1

EDIT: Please use the tomtom official site to obtain the update here

STEP 3 : ACTIVATE THE GPS CONTROL PANEL

Fire up a registry editor (eg http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml )

Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings

Delete the DWORD marked "hide"

Add a DWORD called "Group" and give it the value of "2" (dec)

The GPS panel will now show up in your connection settings.

STEP 4 : INSTALL TOMTOM5

1. Establish a bond with your GPS and select the checkbox for serial access.

2. In BT, select the OUTGOING port to 6.

3. In the GPS control panel, select the GPS program to 0 and make sure that the hardware one, is set to None.

4. Start TT5 and the GPS settings, select another bluetooth GPS, and you will see COM 0 free. Select COM 0 and close TT5.

5. At the GPS control panel again, now select COM 6 (before we set it up at 0).

6. At BT: select OUTGOING port to 0.

7. Back again to GPS control panel and select NONE.

8. Finally start TT5 and it should connect automatically. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the GPS settings and you should see it has connected.

FOR THE WIZARD or IF NOT WORKING ON YOUR DEVICE TRY:

6. At BT: select OUTGOING port to WHATEVER NUMBER IS AVAILABLE EXCEPT 6.

7. Back again to GPS control panel and select NONE.

8. Finally start TT5 and

CHANGE GPS BT PORT SETTINGS TO WHATEVER NUMBER YOU CHOSE IN STEP 6

it should connect automatically. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the GPS settings and you should see it has connected.

Hope this helps all of you !!!

[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
Hi all,

Having had my Z1 for a little while now and having learnt that I could not unlock the bootloader because EE had requested that the phones be locked down I had almost admitted defeat, but then I bricked my phone because I didn't wipe the TA partition when updating to 4.3 DOH.

So instead of claiming on my insurance I went ahead and sent it for repair in carphone warehouse, now I was hesitant at this point but not only have they sent me an unlocked handset it also has a bootloader unlock allowed "YES" status in the config of the phone, also they sent me a brand new handset boxed with all accessories and they did it in less than one week.

Amazing service :)

Just thought that this may help anyone who sends their phone off for repair, it may help and it certainly did for me, just be careful what you send it back for, if it's software then obviously they aren't going to be changing the handset, luckily I had totalled mine and not even god could have switched it on, so in my instance it was a winner.

Hope this helps someone else who was in the same mess that I was previously in.

Good times :D

Did you mean that you want to use the nexus 5 camera app on nexus 4? If that's the question, then the answer is probably "no". As nexus 5's camera uses a different hardware than that of nexus 4.

[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
This site is built on people sharing their work. You should check where it came from or at least link where you got it from instead of just posting up the direct link to the apk.

It's this sort of thing that stops people sharing their work. No contributors means no XDA developers.

As for you only checking the general section, that's no excuse. If you had posted this in the correct place, you would have seen that it originated from here in the first place.

As for it being Sony's work, it still required that the apk be modified and signed so it could be installed as a user app and not have to be manually pushed to /system/app.

If that hadn't been done, you wouldn't have it on your phone at all.

[Android General] muayyadalsadi:
many apps require too much permissions that they do not need to function

most apps needs internet connection to talk to some API (let's say updates checking or notifications ..etc) and need to access SD Card (for buffering/caching)

it would be great if the OS is structured in a way so that we can grant apps access only to specific directories that only belong to it (think of browser cache, youtube buffer ...) and when the user promptly and consciously want to pass files (eg. upload file throw a web browser) they get stagged/promoted/linked to that area accessible by the app.

till that happens, we have SELinux in many android phones can we use it to sandbox apps (the idea is there since 2009 see http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/28545.html)

can we define a policy that

1. those apps are not allowed to access my gallery directory (DCIM)

2. those apps are allowed to access my gallery but are not allowed to use network connection

in desktop linux it was successfully applied (here it was applied on firefox http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/31146.html)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aamirkhanjadoon:
hi guys, i just ran into a weird situation. After upgrading to kitkat version and using it for a day or two with no problems, I tried to do some tweaking with Wanam xposed tool such as "no camera shutter sound" and other sound related tweaks and unfortunately i forgot to make backup before. After the reboot my phone started freezing and it has no sound at all by which I mean no system ringtones, music app crashes, any thing related to sound whether its an app or a feature it automatically freezes. Also NO PHONE CALLS :( phone does connect to the network but when i make call through dialer screen goes black and i cant hear any sound what so ever though the other person gets the call.Also i noticed when i open camera app it gives me error "cant open camera".

I did factory reset, re install the ROM but no fix at all ,, Also i used headphones but still no sound... tried google with the similar issues but no luck so far..

is there anyone who has a fix for this problem? it would be highly appreciated. right now my phone is of nooo use :(

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ticktock666:
Thank you, now I know I'm not crazy or retarded :p

I've had the same problem with wanam, and it drove me crazy, and forced me to reflash the rom, the 2nd time it happened I fixed it by removing wanam then going into /system/csc and renaming features.xml to features.xml.bak (not the features.xml in /system, but careful)

sound returned, and I'm now in the process of troubleshooting which option is causing the problem, it will take a lot of rebooting though :p
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ticktock666:
further investigation into this helped me detect the culprit : it's the "enable camera during call" under "System" in Wanam

in case you accidently enable this and lose sound, you'll need to remove the checkbox from Wanam, and then edit "others.xml & features.xml" inside "/system/csc" or inside "system" if your rom doesn't contain csc, and remove the following line :

<CscFeature_Camera_EnableCameraDuringCall>true</CscFeature_Camera_EnableCameraDuringCall>

look for duplicates, in my case there were 2 entries for this, once you delete them, reboot your device and you should get the sound back, at least this is what worked for me

p.s : I'm using a Note 2 with the Note 3 features package, so I assume this is related to some Note 3 feature/component not playing well with wanam

[Xperia Arc General] @Peterrrrr:
Im looking for an rom based on Jelly Bean 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 that will record in 720p for my Arc S, I cant both be a clean vanilla version or an Xperia-design :) I know that Slim Bean 4 have 720p. but I dont like the design in that one :(

Kitkat would be great, but so far what I have read there are no 720p support yet on that one...

So anyone here know?
[Xperia Arc General] Someguyfromhell:
There is no such ROM, as 720p recording does not work properly on Jelly Bean (low framerate + consumes way too much RAM, I think it was about 30 MB).
[Xperia Arc General] @Peterrrrr:
18fps 720p on Racing Bean :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2093720
[Xperia Arc General] Someguyfromhell:
That's the issue. 18 FPS is very slow and laggy compared to normal 25-30 FPS video. And thereby it is not worth to give about 30 MB of RAM, just to have 720p feature, which you probably don't use that often (who knows, maybe you do).
[Xperia Arc General] Attitude.SSJ:
720p needs kernel which supports 720p... Some of the fusion and lupus kernel versions supported that... But if you want for jb 4.2 and above you ll need to go into kernel compiling...

I do :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
So after my daily workout (watching "Breaking Bad" on the tablet) I managed to let my trusty 201 slip from my hands while taking it off the thin little ledge on my exercise bike console.

BAM, landed right on its corner on the bike's steel support bar.

Now it appears to be functional - except for the small point that the screen don't come on anymore.

Since I cleverly just put a "pattern" lock on it before maiming the poor thing, I can't get it unlocked reliably, but when I press the screenshot button on the keyboard it makes the shutter-click sound.

And I am getting notification bleeps when new mail comes in.

But I'm blind.

I have taken some steps in the past to open it, I did the Wifi antenna thing and tried to get the GPS working (bahahaha what a waste of time THAT was!)... and I've repaired a number of other phones and crap... so I'm not unskilled in this arena.

And I'm sort of optimistically hoping it's just a loose cable or something. There's only the smallest dent in the casing in the corner. No cracks in the screen or anything.

But has anyone gone down this road and maybe has some pointers as to what to look out for? Is there a backlight module that might have popped and just needs replacing?

I'm very sad, this little guy has been my stalwart companion for many, many moons...

Thanks for any input.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
I have read some similar stories in the past and some times it has just been a cable that has dislodged inside.. Obviously this can vary but I would first try plugging in a hdmi cable to your TV and making sure that the graphics chip is still working.

I'd imagine it would be and your next step would be to open it up and start unplugging and replugging everything you can.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
Aha! The hdmi cable. Hadn't occurred to me.

I love this forum.

(Also been using androwook for quite some time, with Data2SD... big fan - very smooth. would hate to lose and/or have to reinstall from scratch though!)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
Well - this was a fantastic suggestion, since the HDMI gave me a perfect picture and the thing is (as thought) fully functional.

It was interesting trying to judge where to tap on the tablet to hit certain things on the screen, though.

This is actually quite a load off, since worst case I can get a new screen from ebay.

Thanks again, flumpster - I am much relieved, and you are a god among men!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Here you go mate. I knew I had seen it before.

I have my fingers crossed.

So do my kids, who are going into "Minecraft PE" withdrawal at the moment.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
Well, after popping the case, I've disconnected and reconnected everything available - no change in behavior.

I'll try unsticking the LCD and see what else is in there, but it's looking like a more aggressive repair will be in order.

V.sad :(

PS there's also this vid I found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpJs_OI8joA
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
Arright. Here's my logic. Tell me where I'm wrong.

The video works - the HDMI proved that.

The tablet works - ditto.

Being able to touch and use the tablet shows me that the digitizer is ok, too.

I've reseated all the connectors, but I still can't get a picture.

Therefore, it's the LCD that's gone bad.

Therefore I should order a new LCD.

Right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Hmmm.. Sounds logical but it could be the power going to the screen or something else that connects the screen. Or does the power etc control the digitizer also ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
Well, there's one (and only one) ribbon cable feeding the LCD - and two going to the digitizer.

News, though - I pulled out the battery and found another ribbon cable tucked underneath to reseat.

After that, I put it back in and hooked up the LCD - and it came up!!

Sort of, anyway. It lit up enough to show me the spiderweb of cracks all along the bottom edge.

(I think I found my problem.)

Now off to eBay to shop for a replacement... I hope I didn't munge up anything else in there while I was mucking around!

I also sold my S4 and got the G2. I haven't missed the S4 at all. The S4 is a good device and I enjoyed it. However, the G2 blows it out of the water in terms of build quality and performance. The camera and call quality is also great on the G2. The only thing missing is SD card. However, I only had a 16gb card in my S4 anyway, so it equals out for me.

I currently have the S4. I'm on T-Mobile and about ready to JUMP. Don't want another Sammy like the note 3 however I sure would miss the SD card if I came to the G2. I understand there's about 27 GB to play with. I was hoping for the flex to be out by the end of the month but alas not till maybe April. I never liked this s4. I got it mostly because I was tired of my HTC one s. So how is the G2 for ease of rooting?

[G2 General] alus415:
Read my thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2609992

Anyways I posted my problems with the G2 coming from an S4 , the issues are still there .

One more issue I have found with this phone that simply bothers me is that the menu buttons bar doesn't fade away when browsing, playing games, reading books ,etc... they only go away when watching videos. Why couldn't LG make them fade and bring them up with a tap? That would make too much sense, having the menu bar on the screen make the phone feel like a 5" screen anyways just like the S4.

So a recap of my issues and see if they are going to bother you:

1. GPS slower to lock / no lock at all --- *update - It seems fine now but first week it was bad.

2. Back buttons keep turning on and taking pics - Still giving me problems and my buddy who uses loose pants same thing , it happened to him, any pressure on them while sitting down and your phone in your pocket it will wake the phone, quite frankly the back buttons were a big gamble by LG , some like me are probably never going to get used to them or like them there.

3. Sound is too low - Yup still bothersome, even at max level the sound is pretty low, I think the speaker placement is an issue. Hope for an LG update fix. S4 not problems, not the loudest like the HTC One but was fine.

4. Auto Brightness sucks - The S4 was king at auto brighness , hope LG issues a software update to fix.

5. Menu Bar Buttons - Mentioned above, I had to root the phone and get an auto Hide app to make them go away so I can use the full screen. But I feel a customer shouldn't have to root a phone to get things working. - On S4 no issues since buttons are off the screen.

Again some might think i'm a LG hater or something, I'm not, I actually like the phone a lot, I think the screen is superior than the S4, the UI believe it or not i think it's better than Touchwiz, the phone feels faster (and it should as it has a newer processor) than the S4 . But the issues I'm mentioning are real and hopefully can help you make a desicion. Some will post I never had those issues, which is fine lucky you but simply google them and you will see a lot of people reporting the same issues.

Good luck , me ? I'm 80% sure os of today i will use the JUMP upgrade and go back to Samsung as I felt the experience was overall better.
