[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalurban:
Hi,

I decided to try to make a modification of an existing ROM which would suit me better right after flashing. Nothing large, only adding some apps and stuff. But Ive got a couple of questions:

1) Ive read some apps cant run from /system partition. Looks like that (at least) one of mine is one of them - it FCs when in /system/apps or /system/priv-apps. Is there any workaround to make this work? I dont want to lose it when doing factory reset (or to flash the ROM again after every factory reset).

2) I wanted to add langunages (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2602704) but according to forums those files are odexed. How could I deodex them to make them run on an deodexed ROM?

3) I want to include the faux kernel but Im not sure if simply copying those files into the ROM would do ... in the other cases it went ok but Im not sure about the kernel - Im afraid I could break something.

4) Can I also use the ROM file to store other files? I mean - if I put files into the ROM in /data/media/0/ would it simply appear in my home directory or could this break anything - by which I mean to destroy my existing files?

Thanks for any leads! :)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anerik:
1) What is the app? on system/app they should work fine since kitkat update, i think

2) To deodex i used a kitchen i got out of foro nexus (cant get the link atm) that only worked on linux. If you want to translate things in your rom, i think it can be done without deodexing, im not sure.

3) Copy paste should work fine but if you take a look at faux's meta inf, see what's there, merge it with your rom's meta inf. But it should work with cp

4) You can use the meta inf to link files to storage like your sdcard, yes. However, if you try to put a wallpaper somewhere inside the rom it wont show up
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalurban:
Thanks very much for your reply! :) Now:

1) The app is a game, Traffic Racer. When I flash a ROM where this app has been put in /data/app it runs fine. In /system/app or /system/priv-app it FCs. As you say it should work Ill try to do it again - but I tried it twice in /system/priv-app and once in /system/app already so I dont believe it would work. BTW I use APKs from update.zip created by TiBa if it could be relevant.

2) Linux is not a problem so Ill try to find the link here.

3) Ill try only to copy the files first before messing with meta files.

4) I only want to store some apps config backup files (for Apex launcher and Agenda widget mainly).
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anerik:
Oh, games could cause issues, yes. Better leave it on data app. Messing with meta inf is totally easier than it sounds anyways and could help fixing any possible bugs, you gotta try it. Backup files i dont think they'll work on the rom but you can store them into storage/emulated/legacy which is the storage, though you could do this any other easier way
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalurban:
Thanks again! Ive got one more question about including the faux kernel. The updater-script is supposed to run this command during the installation in CWM:

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot");

... which I dont know how to implement. If I would only copy all files it would overwrite the original boot.img (Kitkat+ 1.1 original anyway) - which im not sure is the same. So Im not sure if it wont screw something up ...

Or is this extraction the same as copying it? Does the "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot" just mean - "its a block device on first SD, partition name boot"?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anerik:
Put faux's boot.img on the rom first, then on updater script go to the line that refers to extracting boot.img (should be like the last one) and replace that with the command on faux's updater script. That means it will extract it in that directory, nothing else. Be sure to copy modules aswell and set the perms

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalurban:
One more question - is there a special way how to pack the ZIP file? Cause I unpacked a ROM, added some apks, packed it but it didnt work (no error, just ended at "opening rom" or what the CWM message is) ... but when I modified existing ZIP it went fine ...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevew84:
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/12/nexus-5-hardware-subtly-revised/

Google and LG changed some of the hardware and I'm curious if anyone has one of these. I had an N5 from the first batch but got rid of it, but ordering again here soon.

If you have one, was the vibration/sound changed at all?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
thats an old article..

its been proven already that there hasnt been a revision to the hardware yet. yes, there are variances, bigger holes/smaller holes, tighter buttons/looser buttons, etc.. but no revision 2 has been released yet.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevew84:
Ah, ok, either way that's still a welcome change. I wonder if the volume is actually louder. That was probably my biggest complain when i had the N5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
It's louder. Not sure if that was 4.4.2 or the bigger holes.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevew84:
Mine was shipped with 4.4.2 and the volume sucked. So probably the holes.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
Yeah. It's much louder now. It's actually louder than my HTC One, but lower quality of course.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevew84:
Awesome, I'll be ordering a white one tomorrow probably.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
Good luck. They're sold out on Google Play.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevew84:
What? I just looked and 1-2 day shipping for the 16gb white....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevew84:
Damn, that happened in the past 15 minutes!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
Yup. Not even "ships in 2-3 weeks". Sold out. Weird though...it'll come back soon.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevew84:
I had a white one, I might just try the black, why not.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fluidification:
I uh just wanted to point this out there, that my volume has always been fine since day one on 4.4. Even with the smaller holes.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
It was 4.4.2. Before the update it was very quiet, after the update it was perfect. The size of the holes won't make *that* big of a difference, if any. Certainly not as profound as what the update did.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaeljones22:
basically I got a second hand samsung galaxy s2 recently.

Everytime I load it up it says camera fail.

I can't use instagram or snapchat.

When I make a video or a non video call on skype it cuts out straight away.

However I can record and send videos on skype (so assumably the front camera is ok?)

is there anyway to set the instagram/snapchat cameras to front camera so that I can use them the same way that the skype video works.

I am running cyanogen mod 10.2

issue was present before rooting.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhil17kr:
try camera in stock ROM .. if it works... problem is in ROM.... then factory reset your phone and test again..if still didn't work try different kernel .. ask from OP thread of CM 10.2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaeljones22:
the camera didn't work in factory rom, I only rooted the phone two days ago and the issue was present before rooting
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhil17kr:
then you better take it to the samsung care.. may be camera module have problems...

otherwise check again after CHANGING ROM...

New ROM

Hi,

If you scrolled down 20 topics you would have saw this:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=44362

It has the link to the orange website where you can down load the new rom. It's well worth the download, but i would recommend updating the Radio to 1.0.9 instead of 1.0.3 which comes with it.

The answers are out there just look:-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Daveyc:
Orange Rom

I've been using the UK Orange Rom for about a week and its much better than the O2 Rom - there's significantly more space in the program memory and the push email facility is excellent. It's faster and actually like having a new machine.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MpegTv:
Hi,

I noticed one problem on my Nexus S and I desparatly need your help.

After installation of SlimBean Rom, it is not possible to install any other rom on my phone. It always reports Status 7, installation aborted :(((

I´ve tried with MoKee rom, Cyanogenmod, etc and all roms reported the same error message (status 7). Then I switched to SlimBean rom and everything works perfectly.

Could you please explain me how to fix it as it was before?

I´m using the following flash procedure:

1. boot into ClockworkMod Recovery

2. Wipe data/factory reset

3. Wipe cache partition

4. Wipe Dalvik cache

5. install zip

Thanks a lot

…MpegTv….
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MpegTv:
solved.

I solved this issue. The problem was in old clockworkmod recovery ! I flashed with philz touch recovery and everything works perfectly.

Hello guys have an question about the support tool... will this tool still work with the phone?:

1.if its rooted

2. if the bootloader is unlocked

and additional question if i unlock the bootloader if its not unlocked and install custom rom can i take back the phone to condition in which warranty will work ?

yes

yes

technically speaking no, but it depends whether the service center decides to make an issue about it or not
[LG Optimus G (International)] GalaxySIIII:
guys

i have purchased F180S which is LTE/4G

but i dont have option for LTE

how come ?
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Are you in Korea? If not, that's your answer.
[LG Optimus G (International)] GalaxySIIII:
no am in UK europe so it should work
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
No, that's exactly why it will NOT work.

Short version of the answer: LTE on F180x will NOT work outside of Korea. End of story.

Long version of the answer: do some search in Optimus G forums here on XDA, starting from FAQ and differences between models, and further into F180x -> E975 conversion options. There are literally tons of info on the specifics of the problem.
[LG Optimus G (International)] GalaxySIIII:
yeah but this version F180S HAS LTE support 1800MHz which my network will soon run 4G on it .. so why it not gonna work ?
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Like I said, try searching -- it all has been discussed before... With my limited knowledge of the LTE technology, I understand that, even though the band may be the same (1800), the actual working frequencies are still different and incompatible. I am not sure what is going to happen soon on your carrier's network, but so far F180x LTE only working in Korea seems to be the fact of life...
[LG Optimus G (International)] GalaxySIIII:
that is really **** crap !!! i just received it ..

Edit ;

Man i dont think u are right there is no difference in korea .. the freuency is just same and band too look on picture my phone found on my network L and W stands for LTE and W for WCDMA .. so it will work

I thought the stock Kit Kat messaging had the quick reply option in the pull down. As well as the "read" and "call" options. Has that been taken out? Talking about same thing with Gmail and how you can quick reply just from the pull down.
[Moto X Q&A] DanRyb:
As far as I know, that was never available on any version of Android unfortunately. I had those options in the notification pull down when I used CM Messages app.

Yeah that's interesting. Well I'll just continue to use 8sms. Has the quick reply feature if anyone was looking for it.

All,

Am I the only one receiving terrible Internet speeds on speed tests? It seems that my speed is flying on LTE right now but for some reason, speed tests currently have me at (at most) 1 MB/sec download but 10 MB/sec uploads (I don't even know how that happens...).

Are the speed tests just buggy?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
i dont own a Z1 (yet) but i know that sony devices are weird when it comes to wifi and data

if your speed testing using an app and the results differ from another app or even. website

(note - only large differences count), then its the app being buggy

if its on all apps but not the site then its your phone (no way to fix besides turning off stamina mode, (weirdly fixes it because i have had this issue on a range of devices from sony ive used)

or even if your downloading a file and its showing 5mb/s yet the apps say 1 then it could be the apps design not agreeing with sonys attempt at a power saving design

Hello, when I use CPUZ to check all the data and information about my tablet, I found that it lacks the manufacturer name as oppose to my phone. Similarly, when I want to download some stuff for it on Google Play, it also fails to name my device.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chuffer:
Major issue running along the lines of a few other threads I've been reading on here. I'm currently with 3 in the UK.

Phone has been working great for almost 2 years, decided to install one of the custom ROM's with KitKat 4.4.2, I was previously running 4.3. At around 8-8.30 am yesterday morning my signal suddenly disappeared. I rebooted, took out battey and sim card, left it off for a few hours but no joy, noticed I had a generic IMEI number. Managed to restore a nandroid backup I had from last year and all was well again, it was a custom rom v 4.1.2 so I tried again to update to KK 4.4.2 but same issue, no signal with generic IMEI. I then tried a different nandroid backup I had but somehow this completely scrubbed my phone. When I eventually got it up and running it was back to stock and all my folders etc have been wiped. I do have a nandroid backup on my PC and I copied it to the root of my phone but when I try and do a restore it says no files found, reading elsewhere and going off the top of my head it says it has to go to /Data/Media/Clockworkmod but I don't have a Data folder, is there anyway to get this nandroid to work?

TIA

The data folder is on the ROOT of your sd card. Not in the normal storage location. The location you posted is correct but you missed one more directory. It is /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/
[HTC One X] tekkr:
firstly i want to say im using a macbook, so when going through my unlock/root procedure i was using terminal...

I unlocked and rooted my htc one x yesterday following the instructions on this youtube video ****http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y3VbFJIwWU****

It went well however afterwards i went to Rom-manager and tried to flash a stable cyanogenmod build.

The rom was faulty though. it didnt recognise my simcard. its wifi didnt work. and my phone stopped being recognised by my computer's device drivers.

in order to fix this i was told to flash the boot.img

Now my phone will only boot to the htc boot page and freeze here.

I can still put my phone into bootloader mode, and recovery mode so i think i can still save my phone but i just need simple instructions. Because my macbook htc drivers dont recognise the phone, i have no idea what to do and i need very simple instructions...I've been told a lot of times today to just download things and flash things, but when the phone WONT pair with my computer i am lost.

my htc one x is unlocked and the first line of bootloader says ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL

pls pls help.
[HTC One X] Thant:
Don't open new thread I answare on your question.

And now again:

1. Install Philz 5.15.x recovery fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery.img

2. Go in bootloader after this choice Recovery mount your SD Card have menu in recovery and you will see your sd card on the computer

3. copy your rom to SD card

4. Unmount the SD Card, WIPE data,system and dalvik cache and install your rom from recovery

5. Restart the phone again in bootloader

6. flash the boot.img with command fastboot-mac flash boot boot.img

7. run the command fastboot-mac erase cache

8. Only restart the phone

9. DON'T DO FACTORY RESET ON CUSTOM ROM

The fastboot-mac is from my zip where you downloaded!

[HTC One X] tekkr:
i have raised my problem on various threads on xda and am yet to find a solution. People have been very helpful but seem to overlook the fact my phone is not being recognised by the drivers on the computer. Yes, i can manipulate the phone through terminal which allows me to copy the recovery.img to the phone, but even when i go into recovery and mount the sd card nothing indicates it's a driver on my mac OS. so therefore can not place a working rom onto the phone. this has been my problem all along, if i could find a way to physically place a rom onto the phone I'm sure i could fix this. i dropped the phone into a shop sometime last week who sent it off to htc, but as i suspected they've sent it back seeing as the bootloader is unlocked and thus the warranty void. If anyone has any clue how to get a rom onto my phone using terminal commands could they post the process here. or any other ideas for getting the rom onto a phone that wont open htc sync manager or the program 'android file transfer' or seem to even allow me to mount the sd......

Hello all,

i have one of these devices, and have prevented the CABs in the rom from loading. I use a Vodafone Sim with it.

I seem to have a small problem in that the unit only connects via Activsync (4.1 build 4841) only sometimes! Sometimes i connect it and it connects immediately, sometimes a small delay, sometimes not at all. Sometimes after it has be connected for a short while and has syncronized, it suddenly disconnects??

The unit charges fine this way, no problem. Just it seems to connect only when it wants to...

Anyone else have this problem?

Hi.

I have m919 T-Mobile Galaxy s4 but I'm with other carrier (Wind Canada).

I spent yesterday in environment where I didn't had coverage for most of the day, but i haven't gotten it back yet. Sounds really weird as it might be not connected to the fact at all. I have 4G connection active, which means that I have internet, but it keeps 'searching' for service and I can't Call/Text anyone, neither I can receive calls or texts. Instead of the bar at the top showing how good coverage i have it just shows a crossed out circle icon.

I've tried reboots, keeping my phone off for 30mins without battery, taking out sim and putting it back in, changing network modes and resetting APN (all from settings panel).

Have anyone experienced something like that and how do I fix it? It was working perfectly for last couple of months and the phone didn't get any damage yesterday neither.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: network issues

Try to go into settings>more networks>mobile networks>network operators and click "search now".

That will bring up the available networks and you need to choose the network which is your carrier.

It may take a few minutes until it stops scanning so have patience and don't back out of networks.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kokozaurs:
I've tried that! After a while it finds my network, the coverage bars appear for a while, but then they disappear. During that time when they're appeared I can't make any calls either, once it gave me error that It can't register to network which is weird because my data is running from sim pretty good. Today I tried to go to my operator store to let me try a different SIM card - no change.

Do you have any other suggestions? By the way I rooted the phone about 1.5 months ago if that makes any difference.

I'm really desperate for solution :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] knoxoff:
I suggest you reset your device to factory default. If that doesn't work, unroot your device and return to stock. If still it doesn't work, bring your device for warranty.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brachism:
Disclaimer: I just started ‘playing’ a few weeks ago in the realm of tablets and rooting. :o

I have 6 Kindle Fires cloned from a master running Jelly Bean cm-10.1.3-20130923-otter. The method I used apparently has resulted in all of them presenting the same MAC address to the router. The result is only the latest one to establish a connection can communicate on the network. Although the ‘idme’ command display unique MAC addresses for each it seems the OS isn’t passing those unique MAC’s along. App solutions like ‘MacMan’ work but I’d really like a more permanent OS level solution if possible.

Any suggestions? Thanks,

Backstory: A family member gave me a no longer used 1st gen Kindle a few weeks ago. I installed Jelly Bean, Gapps, the apps I wanted, and customized the look and feel. I created a crude wall mount, fished the USB cable through the wall. Surprisingly everything worked well on the first try and all was great. So great I rushed out a snapped up 5 more Kindles on Craigslist to repurpose them as additional poor-man home automation panels. To clone I used COTR->nandroid->backup/recovery to copy my ‘gold image’ from the first to the other 5. After cloning the only tweaks I made were setting unique hostnames, Wi-Fi direct names, and static IP addresses on each. It wasn’t till I mounted them all I noticed the MAC address issue.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brachism:
I found a similar thread at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1406845&page=4

From a quick read it seems their solution was to use a hex editor at a specific location on one of the binaries to update the MAC. They were using CM7. I’ll research and experiment a bit to see if I can leverage a similar solution in CM10.

Also others mentioned using the idme to set the MAC address. This does change what idme reports but has no effect on what the OS is presenting to the router.

I’ll update my findings here.
