I notice you never took the time to read my initial post. I don't want stock. I'm looking for the 4.3 OS stock or otherwise without the locking bootloader, and as a default everyone in the Devs boards / ROMs will instruct you to wipe everything while flashing.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2564495 - Wipe everything

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2451859 - Seems to be the best option this far but still WIP

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2578458 - No mention from OP for dirty flash options, comments mixed.

I've done my research, but I'm basically just looking to attract those who have successfully dirty flashed to ID which rom seems to have the best success rate. In what way is this thread not beneficial and worthy of locking?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] palmbeach05:
And acting like a noob who's getting aggrivated at a sr member who's offering assistance is not the way to go. so let me spell it out for you, you can NOT flash any custom ROM, to include CM, AOSP, AOKP, stock odexed/deodexed, in a manner that is not OTA without having an unlocked bootloader or safestap/bootstrap. Generally speaking, and this is the case with this device, you unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery (most recent is CWM 6.0.4.4-6.0.4.7), enter into recovery, make a backup of current ROM (just in case something goes wrong), wipe everything (minus internal storage. remember, internal storage is the space not used up by a ROM), then flash ROM and Gapps (as needed).

So pretty much I referred you to the thread to get your device set up so you can flash custom ROMs, to include the non-4.3-OTA (again, another link that refers you to the thread you want to get what you want) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2578458

EDIT

Here's your answer on Odin and dirty flash

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2531705

Easiest way to say it, is Odin is to Samsung, as RSD Lite is to Motorola. It wipes everything and gives you a "straight from the factory" phone. Of course if you flash the non-OTA files via Odin, you'll keep your bootloader unlocked.

It is always highly encouraged to wipe everything and have a clean flash, that way you don't encounter any issues when you boot up into the new ROM. is there a specific reason you're so interested in dirty flashing? :confused:

You can use Active Sync as a kind of registry monitor.

Dont know what it monitors exactly. Perhaps someone can tell.

This is what you do.

On you PC create 2 values:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]

"RapiLogPath"="C:\TEMP"

"RapiVerbose"=dword:00000001 or 0 or 2

This creates WCESMgr.exe_XXXX.Log files in that directory

when connected through active sync.

Example of the output:

Not very useful at the moment but perhaps someone can make sense of it?

It is just a log of RAPI functions with what looks like call parameters.

For the non programmers among us:

RAPI (Remote Application Programming Interface) is a set of functions ActiveSync provides that let you execute a set of functions (APIs) on the device from your PC.

As a registry monitor this has two major issues:

a) It only sees changes triggered from the PC, but any cab installation does changes internally.

b) Part of the log tweakradje quoted looked to me like a list of argument addresses instead of the parameters them selves, so unless there is another setting for logging, you can't actually see the strings being sent, so you don't know which keys and values were altered.

Still, it is an interesting discovery and someone will probably find a use for it.

Side note: On WM5 devices, phone edition in particular, security was tightened so registry access via RAPI is now blocked (except I think for reading certain keys).

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sicembaylor:
I've had my Moto G since launch (well accounting for the delayed shipping), but I am new to T-Mobile having switched from Sprint. Of course, I know our 'G' doesn't have LTE, but my HSPA+ speeds are pretty damned good with no issues whatsoever when connected to HSPA/HSPA+.

HOWEVER, and this is a big one, outside of any moderate sized community I get EDGE or less with absolutely NO data connection. None. I know EDGE is slower, but when I had my iPhone on AT&T I did at least have some data connection on EDGE despite its slow speed. With T-Mobile it's as if I'm not connected to anything at all. Voice works fine as does texting, but it's like my data connection is completely shut off.

I know EDGE is slow, but I should at least be getting some data....right?

Which version of the Moto G do you have? The global or US version? The global version will get Edge a lot more than the US version since T-Mobile hasn't refarmed every area yet. And yes, data on Edge is hit or miss. Sometimes it can be usable and sometimes not at all.

This is correct, and it means that the phone is not at capacity

when I change the frequency I guess that applies to all cores or otherwise applies only to the core 0

hey guys, despite everyone trying to get rid of the emergency call lock screen option, I kinda want to have it, but when i have a patter lock screen it doesn't show up at the bottom under the dots (it only shows my carrier name, which is not clickable). So my question is, is there any way i can get that option to work on my pattern lock screen? I'm on android 4.1.2 custom rooted phone (DModV6).

P.S. I just noticed that if i lock my phone with a password the emergency calls option shows up and is clickable. I think that it's not there only on the pattern lock screen. Why?

I'm looking at all these JB and KitKat ROMs, but I need to know what ROM I should use day in and day out, for everything. Facebook, I use Snapchat, google voice, play games. This is my only phone, so I need it to be snappy.

Any suggestions?

If you want to use the camera then both JB and KK is off the table. I went back to GB because of the video camera. I recently got myself a dog and obviously had to film everytime we went out. ;) So i can recommend these three. They are equaly good. Personally i'm not that keen at the sense look.

It's very helpful!

Trouble with your pc, fastboot, adb, or usb? no problem, change hboot partitions by flashing a zip via recovery: [Hboot Collection] Easily change partitions w/o pc via recovery
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yayramen:
That's what I *was* running, and I had the same amount of lag. Then again, I believe I flashed QND MIUI because the miui from the official site wasn't fully translated. I'm running hypersense nova now (I had to mod it to get volume wake. My power button went out - like they do - but then due to a mishap with lemonade *cough* the trackball no longer works either).

Hypersense Nova is decent (I hate the way sense looks, though), but it's still kind of laggy. I hate the half second wait for an app to open, and then the other half second for the keyboard to appear, and then the other half second to start typing. It just seems so slow.

Thanks for that link though, that's fantastic! (and it's fastboot, my usb is a little wonky, it won't connect for data unless you hold it a certain way, but the phone IS four years old. and fastboot is wonky on 8.1)

I tried CM7 and that wasn't very good either. I'm beginning to think that there might be something wrong with my phone to cause it to lag this much. It used to be so snappy. I'm going to change the hboot tonight and try some other roms and see if it helps.

Edit: The MIUI link doesn't work anyways :P
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yayramen:
Tried flashing the new hboot from said link, back to stock so I could install cm7.
