Update from CM9

Hi [MENTION=4592408]scy1192[/MENTION],

I'm using CM 9 should i format to update to CM10.1 or just a flash?

Does the battery lasts long compared to CM 9?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scy1192:
I'd say flash it and if you have any problems, do a factory reset. No use getting rid of all your data if it's not harming anything, but then again there might be some odd thing that breaks when upgrading.

As for battery, I personally found it better on CM10.1 than CM9.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prasanna_bng:
Thanks

Thanks scy1192. I'll try it tonight.

stable rom

HI

I'm using CM11 Milaq and its very stable. There's still some things that aren't working. Like camera,Netflix version 3.x..etc. Buts its a very stable build. The best build I ever had installed that was really stable and ever thing worked, was evervolv CM10.2. This ROM was really good and stable I don't remember ever having any problems with it at all.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] inefarius:
I am completely new to the whole rooting thing, but I decided to try rooting my T-Mobile Galaxy SIII (which is running Android 4.3) because I wanted to put CyanogenMod on it. I followed this guide:

Step 1: Extract CF-Auto-Root and Odin 3.07 files using winrar/7zip/winzip or any other extracting tool.

Step 2: Switch off the Galaxy S3. Then boot the device into Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power buttons together until a construction Android robot icon with a warning triangle appears on screen. Now press the Volume Up button to enter Download Mode.

Step 3: Launch Odin on the computer as an Administrator.

Step 4: Connect the Galaxy S3 to the computer using USB cable while it is in the Download Mode. Wait until Odin detects the device. When the device is connected successfully, the ID: COM box will turn to light blue with the COM port number. Additionally, the successful connected will be indicated by a message saying Added.

Step 5: In Odin, click the PDA button and select the CF-Auto-Root-d2tmo-d2tmo-sght999.tar.md5 file.

Step 6: Verify that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes are selected in Odin. Also, ensure the Re-Partition option is NOT selected.

Step 7: Double-check and click Start button in Odin. The installation process will now begin.

Step 8: Once the installation process is completed, your phone will restart and soon you will see a PASS message with green background in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. You can now unplug the USB cable to disconnect your device from the computer.

There is only one thing I did differently than what the guide said was to install SuperSU before I did the root. The root completed successfully; however, SuperSU crashes whenever I try to launch it and KNOX puts a warning in my notifications tray. I never installed or launched KNOX prior to performing the root and I cannot update or remove SuperSU. I also cannot install or remove KNOX. I've been browsing forums and looking for answers but I can't understand half of the things people are saying. Does anyone have a noob-friendly solution? (By the looks of it, there are many people with similar issues due to KNOX.)

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] buttstallion:
I had been trying to figure out this same problem for days. Finally got it last night.

Just like you, I had been trying to use the CF autoroot method on my tmo s3 (4.3). Ran into the same "Unfortunately SuperSU has stopped." It seems as though CF autoroot and Knox don't play nicely. You might try using TWRP recovery instead of CF. I ended using the TWRP 2.5.0.0 to root via Odin. Success! Also, I was having troubles with my pc, so you might try to switching machines if you're still having trouble.

Here's a great guide on how to do this by [MENTION=4845222]cLogic[/MENTION], who took [MENTION=4453458]upndwn4par[/MENTION]'s method and refined it for T-Mobile. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2563955

[General Questions and Answers] HeyYoWL:
Hey all I've been on Android for a little under a year now and if there's one thing I don't like, it's been the e-mail experience. I can't find any mail app outside of the ridiculously priced Maildroid Pro that has what I'm looking for (and I don't even think what I'm looking for is unreasonable!).

Here's what I'm looking for in a mail app:

- Non-ugly icon (I'm looking at you K-9)

- Clean interface

- Support for both Hotmail and GMail with no issues and push notification (Evomail)

- Loads all images in e-mails by default, or at least with the option to turn this feature on (a lot of apps don't)

- Has an informative widget that displays the subject and brief bit of the body in it (SolMail has a useless widget that displays too little info and Evomail has NO widget unbelievably)

I'd be perfectly happy with the default Mail and GMail app (either or) on my Nexus 4 if it wasn't for the fact that neither of them display images automatically, and I have to click on "show all images" all the time. It's annoying. I'm not sure why all this is so difficult, especially when I had no problems with e-mail when I was on iOS. Is there anything anyone can recommend?
[General Questions and Answers] evil_arri:
Last Gmail update now display images, and in case there is a problem, there is an option under config to display always images :good:
[General Questions and Answers] HeyYoWL:
I saw that, but it doesn't help with my Hotmail account, and I want it all with one app. Any other recommendations?
[General Questions and Answers] evil_arri:
In that case, I join your question, my main account is hotmail also, lol

It seemed so, until I noticed that my Hotmail doesn't get pushed properly. I need both. Or am I not choosing certain settings correctly?
[General Questions and Answers] armageddon6:
I am not having issues with my hotmail getting pushed.... It might be something to do with the settings being used.I am using pop3.live.com on port 995.

Don't know if this will help. I think I also had to make a change in the hotmail settings also but can't remember where that was sorry.
[General Questions and Answers] HeyYoWL:
When I changed the IMAP server settings to read pop3.live.com, and port 995, it couldn't connect to the server?
[General Questions and Answers] armageddon6:
You may need to look up the other settings required. I know there are more but that was all I could remember off the top of my head. I don't have my tablet here to check sorry.

[General Questions and Answers] solmail:
SolMail widget improvement idea?

Hi, as a SolMail Team, we want to improve the widget for you~ So, what's your opinion of perfect size of widget (with subject and brief bit of the body)? 1x1 or 4x2 is a little bit small, isn't it? Thanks for your opinion!
[General Questions and Answers] HeyYoWL:
The default Mail and GMail app's style of widget is all I need. Subject, brief lines of body, done. The lines of the body should be changeable by the user. I actually use 5 rows of icons with Nova Launcher and would prefer 5x4, but as long as it's resizable just like the stock app I'm fine with it.
[General Questions and Answers] solmail:
oops, sorry for late update.

We added resizable and scrollable widget on SolMail.(actually it's 2.0 update on May). It can be extended to the tablet size!

Thank you for your valuable suggestion.
[General Questions and Answers] Geotig:
I'm using Cloudmagic now, so far I have liked it. The only downside for you could be that the widget is quite simplistic. Anyway for me it works because I usually use the notification area to peek at new mails.

Oh and is really beautiful.

Warning : Do not install this if you're running art on 4.4 (xposed works only with dalvik) or any other rom with multiwindow framework built in like mokee.

Here's a guide to XhaloFloatingWindow Xposed module :

Firstly basic installation Guide and Original thread

After following the guide, you will be able to launch notifications in floating window like halo, but you'll need a secondary launcher like floating notifications or bubble launcher to launch apps in floating mode.

But to get true multi window(not just halo like behaviour), do the following in xHaloFloatingWindow app.

In popup behaviour:

1) App pausing is off.

2) disable auto close checked.

3)force new windows in halo checked

4) show app in recents checked (this one's your choice)

In movable and resize :

1) turn on movable and resize

2)in titlebar settings, enable title bar.

3)in moving settings, enable all.

4)in resizing settings, nothing is on.

5) in system ui mods, prevent moving home to the front is checked, rest is off.

And the result is .....drum roll.... multi window like behaviour.

See screen shots attached

Feel free to experiment and post your results. I'm on Cm11 by CodyF86.

P.S : for some reason, opening more than one app on home screen causes the new app to hide previous app. I just open a random app, like contacts app and now opening new apps wont hide previous apps.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ashwin007:
im not able to get that
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Adi Shakthi:
Also take care that if you have inbuilt halo or omni multiwindow. ....

Don't follow this method results may Uneven as per developr. .....

Only it suits for simple roms without halo or omni multiwindow. ...

You can use SensonicHD rom it has in built unlimited floating multiwindow. ...you may refer bellow.... ...;)

Reactivation Lock-out Solution (Re:"Custom binary blocked by reactivation lock")

I turned on reactivation lock, not realizing the repercussions. Upon rebooting my phone the first time after turning it on, I got the message saying "Custom binary blocked by reactivation lock". And I could not get past that initial screen. You should still have access to Download mode, which I did (Vol down + Home + Power).

So using Odin (v3.09), I flashed the newest firmware for my carrier using "AP" to select the file, and default Odin settings. (Specifically the tar file in the main .zip file: N900W8VLUBMJ4_N900W8OYABMJ4_N900W8VLUBMJ4_HOME.tar.md5) Again, it might be carrier specific, so only try flashing the one specific to your phone.

Everything booted up fine for me. :victory:

I immediately went into Security settings and de-selected Reactivation Lock option.

I then used Odin to reflash TWRP recovery.

I've since went back to flashing custom ROMs, with no problems.

I hope this helps. :good:

Questions belong in the Q and A Section

YouTube works on all roms. Never have seen a rom that intentionally kills it. Might be kernel issues with video and/or CPU clocking...but roms are roms.

Users are expected to try what suits them best - not going to let this become a best rom for youtube thread.

XDA is not a support in that sense, so, I am shutting this thread as like the many others in the annals of XDA closed threads.

If there is a rom users are interested in, it is best that these questions get directed to the OP of those roms in the respective thread, general discussion about one rom over another does nothing but create drama.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Yol:
Hi all,

As i started servicing all pdas for a couple of monthes (only as a hobby, i fix them for friends and relatives), i came across one BA that gave me some trouble.

i got it to replace its LCD that was broken as it was dropped and thats very simple to replace it, so far so good. now it has two main problems :

1. no sound from speaker (even when in speakerphone mode), but there is sound in the stereo earphones (i plugged to the connector by the sd card slot). - i can only assume that a bluetooth handsfree device it will also work.

2. although the backup battery is fully charged, if i remove the main battery even for a brief second, when turned on, the BA acts as if i made a hard reset.

as for solving the problems :

1. using a digital multimeter, i managed to track the conductivity from the internal speaker through its connector, flat ribbon to the connector which connects to the main pcb - so there is no contact problem from the speaker to the main pcb.

using the help from WIKI, i went to site that has the list of all components and their description - the IC that is responsible for audio amp is a MAXIM's MAX4410 which is a stereo headphone driver. a quick look at its charasteristics and typical configuration and i understood that (assuming this is the IC that drives the internal speaker) the speaker should have one pin which is ground and the other goes to the amplified signal from the IC. neither one of the pins showed it has GND to it. so maybe there is a bad GND line to the connector.

2. regarding the backup battery issue i do not know what makes this problem.

I am sharing this info with you all with two ideas in mind :

1. to resolve my problem and know those devices hardware better.

2. because i am quite a while watching xda-developers and WIKI and i got the feeling that a lot of eforth is given to the software side of all those pdas (which is greate!!! keep going, this work helps lots of people and it shows al thos mega corps they are not the only ones), but the hardware is a bit forgotten and left behind. let me tell you this, there are many VERY simple mini projects i made useing electronics (i am an electronics engineer in my profession) that made my life easy . i am now investigating those instruments hardware as i have several ideas to develope useful accessories to my pda (like an external IR transciver to control IR devices like TV,DVD and to communicate with my laptop, and some other ideas) and i believe we can do the same info sharing as done on software side but on the hardware side.

I will thank any ideas, thoghts or commentsabout this matter. Yol.

Fault 1) When I hear someone saying 'maybe it has a bad earth' i think of car mechanics 'wiring' and Ford cars! If you have the data sheet, use a 'scope - fixing it should be a piece of cake (IF you know what you are doing)

Fault 2) These devices usually have tiny 3V Li-ion button batteries somewhere inside - find it, replace it.

BTW - search the internet for a SERVICE MANUAL - you NEVER know your luck!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dah54:
Fault one the backup battery is designed to keep memory alive not power the unit! I would expect it to act the way you describe.

Audio check the stereo jack, my guess is you'll find the problem there. It's rather common failure.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] underwurlde:
I never said the battery backup powered the unit, did I? He said removing the main battery & putting it back in acts like a hard reset indicative of a knackered memory backup battery.

I'm making educated guesses based on 15 years experience as an electronics engineer & also that I have just fixed an Xda Exec with EXACTLY this problem (If I'm reading his post correctly that is).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cluefree:
So it sounds like knox is what is killing your attempts. You need to disable it and then reinstall your super user of choice (I like supersu, but I'm sure you can find experts to tell you more about them....). Assuming you have a super user app there, but it is just being squashed, this may work for you...

Go into your explorer of choice (I use explorer es), go into /system/app and find superuser.apk. Select it and force it to install again. When it installs, it will open and tell you that knox is there and ask you if you want to try to disable it. Click ok or yes... I don't recall which, but just get that thing out of there. :) My guess is at this point, you'll need to actually repeat this process (I did) to get everything "happy"... (repeat the install - but the next time the knox question won't come up).

How do i disable knox. I've stopped all the processes and even (tried to) delete all the files pertaining to it. i dont have permission to do so.

I would highly recommend switching to Philz Touch recovery, then starting over with flashing the most recent SuperSU zip. Once you boot back into system, open the SuperSU app, choose yes when it asks if you want to disable Knox, and then let it update the binaries for you via the TWRP/CWM option.
