[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
You did do a full wipe before the first rom flash, and you did install gapps after the OTA??

The widgets is a long hold on the home screen....
[Asus Transformer TF700] SGKen:
I did the one mentioned as "factory reset do the one that says going to install new rom".

A long press on the home screen... Is that documented somewhere since I didn't expect it there. Yup, there they are, thanks!

On my Nexus 4 phone, 4.4.2, the widgets are as a tab where I have seen them in previous releases of the (standard) OS.

What is the OTA by the way?

Thanks again,

Ken

Curiously enough, I put Nova Launcher on a bit ago and the Widgets tab showed up where I expected it to be....

[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Zorena86:
My sister currently owns the S4 zoom and would like to use the Galaxy Gear with it but it is still running Android 4.2.2. I'm looking to root the Zoom to Android 4.3, preferably a slim rom, so that it can be compatible with the Galaxy Gear since Samsung has not released an official update or estimated time frame either. I've been researching how to root the Zoom as well as what roms are currently available and apparently support for the Zoom is very little.

Has anyone tried a rom that allows compatibility with the Zoom yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] opdrago:
the s4 zoom is a phone with no market or future.

there are no developers to work on that phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] markyboy81:
I think it's a shame that the zoom has no future as it's a great device, albeit quite niche. Here's hoping that Samsung do eventually update to 4.3 so it will be compatible with the gear.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Zorena86:
I agree it is quite a shame, I have the S4 and use the Gear and my sister really wants to use the Gear with her Zoom. I think the Zoom is a awesome device. It's designed for a very niche market and it seems like that market is being neglected. Samsung did mention when 4.3 was released that it would be coming to many of the Galaxy devices and the Zoom was included in that list, but there's no info on when to expect it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] dunker56:
With kitkat confirmed for the Zoom C105 does that mean Galaxy Gear will now work with the Zoom S4?

[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] zim_zimmer:
What instructions did you follow? The ones from the Gear itself on the startup screen?

Did you connect via NFC and the phone automatically went to the Samsung app store to download Gear Manager??
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] claptnei:
Just followed the instructions in the gear booklet. Turn on nfc and blue tooth on your phone. Touch the gear cradle to the back of the phone and just followed the on screen instructions.

Just read the the booklet and all will be fine :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] zim_zimmer:
Thanks for replying, I saw your post in the other thread too.

This sounds good, can't wait to get hold of the S4 zoom now... I just hope that I like the shape and feel of it!
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] claptnei:
If your into photography you'll love it. I had a note1 which seems massive compared now. But got used to the Zoom s4 very quickly. And with the gear, you don't have to keep pulling your phone out of your pocket to see what the alert was.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] zim_zimmer:
Yes very true, the gear should compliment the Zoom rather nicely!
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] markyboy81:
Great tip I was waiting patiently for 4.4 as I had no idea it would work on 4.2.2. Thanks a lot!

Doesn't seem to be much reason to upgrade the s4 zoom to the k zoom now the gear works with it.

After reading this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2632814 posted by [MENTION=5440299]hutchinsane_[/MENTION] I mounted my Lumia's .ffu with ImgMount and used the Raw Disk Tool from OSForensics to check out some of the partition files. In doing so I came across the ACPI and SMBios files which I hadn't seen before when using ImgMount. Not sure if these are any use to the devs and haven't really looked at them(not that I'd know what to do with them anyways) but here are some screenshots of the partitions I was able to mount and the files inside. The files from screenshot G are contained in the DATA folder from screenshot F and the files from screenshot I are contained in the EFIESP folder. The ACPI/SMBIOS files are here http://www.mediafire.com/download/q1vx7g6b7523xvf/Lumia_ACPI_SMBios.zip.
[Windows Phone 8 General] tonbonz:
Another screenshot of the partitions listed. Partition 25 seems to be encrypted...
[Windows Phone 8 General] hutchinsane_:
The ACPI and SMBIOS files are in the PLAT partition, at least this is the case on the HTC 8S. Didn't know about the Raw Disk Viewer, looks interesting. Will try it on my HTC Rom though once I'm at home (school, duh.. :) ) Do you have any idea what could possibly be the content of partition 25?
[Windows Phone 8 General] tonbonz:
Thanks for checking this out. Congrats on your work with the HTC rom!!! I wasn't sure which section to post in but I didn't wanna jack your thread and the devs didn't seem to want us "Nokia owners" there I'm assuming because the security on the Lumia roms is so damn tight you can't do anything without breaking the signature. I was just looking for another way to poke around the rom :D I'm a total noob so have no idea what could be on partition 25 but some of the partitions that claim to be empty still have data on them I just couldn't get them to mount or figure out how to extract it. Oh totally off topic but could you posssibly post the harware ID for an HTC device here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2636111 so
[MENTION=5314853]bruce142[/MENTION] can create a script? Thanks in advance!!!
[Windows Phone 8 General] hutchinsane_:
I'll get my hardware ID once I get my device back :) I guess so, since at least one guy tried it (I think) and it didn't work so well. Bummer that the MAINOS on the HTC 8S Rom is Bitlocker encrypted, the header looks messed up anyway. I think they used some kind of different encryption in addition to bitlocker, even if it's only spliting up the headers.

Or they may be using a different type or protocol or revision of bitlocker, I think you get the idea. :)
[Windows Phone 8 General] tonbonz:
I was able to read partition 25 by saving the whole disk as an image then when mounting the image with OSMount it asks which partition. These are the files contained in the MMOS folder in screenshot G at the beginning of this thread. I'll see about mounting the others when I have more time.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Even if you don't decide to root right away, I would suggest at the very least unlocking the bootloader before setting up your phone. When you unlock, it wipes all your data so it's best to get it out of the way before you invest too much time setting up your phone. If you unlock but never decide to root, it's no big deal, but at least you're covered if you do decide to take the plunge.

Can't flash SlimKat with TWRP 2.6

I have the opposite problem.

I recently downloaded the latest Slim ROM (SlimKat) and tried flashing it in TWRP 2.5. This didn't work, though. On the SlimRom website it mentions to update to the latest Recovery, so I installed 2.6.3.0. It still won't flash the SlimKat ROM though, it gives the same error you mentioned:

"Error executing updater binary in zip ..."

It flashes the old SlimBean ROM successfully, but even after doing the wipe and such as it recommends, it won't flash SlimKat.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Somehow it worked when I used ClockWorkMod Recovery instead of TWRP. Maybe someone else will encounter the same thing, if so that's what worked for me.

Hello..

this is my first post and I really want to read some audio/sound quality of this device thru headphones. I read some reviews, but none discuss this very important spec. Only gsmarena, but their audio reviews seems to be suspect.

So, how do you guys like the sound quality on z1 compact? Is it any good? Got any comparsions with other phones?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] war1:
Sony EQ does not work with Google Play music

Audio quality is very good Only with Sony walkman app.I surely hope this isn't an attempt to force users to use Sony walkman app for music listening, we should have the choice, right?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] GR36:
You can also change the settings in the sound menu.

However after some tests.it looks like this only affects the Walkman apps. The sound output in speaker, headset and bluetooth is noticeably worse in anything else other than the Walkman app. That's not on sony!

I'm pretty much delighted with my compact - fast, actually phone sized (I HATE these stupid 5" plus "phones"), and good looking!

Downsides:

1. The glass back.... why? It's completely unnecessary, and I'm sure it scratches just looking at it....

2. (some of...) The dev forum posts appear to be populated by bumptious arrogant folks who think their s#1t doesn't stink.

3. The audio is lacking - I'm an audiophile, and am really quite disappointed. The walkman app is rubbish, and the "sound effects, equaliser etc" are truly rubbish.

To get the best from the compact:

Buy PowerAmp.

Take your music collection and run it through Foobar2000 http://www.foobar2000.org/

Apply ReplayGain tags to your tracks. Check this: http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Replaygain

Search for applying replygain using foobar2000 for some good guides

In poweramp settings, audio, ReplayGain: Set Apply Gain, By track, Set to +6dB

If you are rooted, install xposed framework and add xVolume30 module (allows 45 step volume control) - this doesn't increase volume, but gives finer control)

Make sure you have a decent pair of IEM's (for advice, feel free to PM me (actually, if you want to know more about any of the above, PM me!)

:D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] p2dr:
So am I (and so do I). Btw good advice on the "get the best from the compact" :good: If one would want that, its very helpful indeed.

As for the sound: I'm not a audiophile or whatever, and do not have much music-through-headphone-experience, but I listen music a lot, and I think it's great.

My previous phone was a Razr, which had terrible sound. In everything.

Now I have Sony phone, use the Sony music app, and have Sony headphones (the one that came with when preordered, MDR-10rc) and I just love it. But who am I :cowboy:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] GR36:
I asked sony centre about the sound as well and emailed support. The guys in the shop told me that they do it purposely to sell sent blue tooth stuff.

Support told me that I had to update my device. I told them it's on the latest. So they told me it's the apps fault. Told them to stick there half arsed device and returned it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] OsiBasi:
I actually have to disagree, I'v been using power amp on any phone I've owned pretty much. But on my Z, I'm using Walkman, the sound quality is great, a little more volume than power amp was giving. And smoother UI. Only thing I'd say I miss I being able to remove music directly from the player. But it might be different for the z1c Idk.

Are you happy with them otherwise?

Just in case you are in the market for a new pair, I can very highly recommend two pairs:

Klipsch Image X10 - High Performance Noise-Isolating In ear headphones - you can get a pair on Amazon for less than £100 - worlds smallest IEM's but truly excellent sound and range - I wear them on the tube trains and overland trains, really noisy environments but I don't even need to turn up the volume!

Same goes for Soundmagic's E30's - £40 on Amazon, but you need to buy Comply TX400 memory foam tips to get the best out of them and get full noise cancelling.... I've got a collection of headphones worth over £2000, and for my daily use, I use the pairs above!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] slonn:
Sound quality sucks. It's way too low. Can't wait to root the phone and install the insane volume mod from Z1 forum. Hopefully it works
