[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdwills3521:
I installed a custom recovery through the WUG method before someone directed me to the GooManager method which seems a lot easier. They both install the same custom recovery (TWRP). In the app it asks if i want to install a custom recovery so does that mean if i install the TWRP again I'll be able to use GooManager for finding roms and nothing will break, can i download the roms from GooManager and just flash it from there using my already installed recovery (without installing the same recovery from GooManager), or should i just go the long way and install through the quickboot method?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
It doesn't matter. Once you have recovery, you have recovery. It's a partition on your device that doesn't care where it comes from.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Like pirateghost said it doesn't matter. But I wouldn't use goomanager to flash roms. Download then from xda and flash them in twrp. Goo manager can be a brick waiting to happen if you're not careful.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
Use xda not goo. This is personal opinion I am leery of it and do not trust it entirely to modify my phone.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BirchBarlow:
1) Ditch the toolkit, save a kitten. Use fastboot to install a custom recovery.

2) Ditch GooManager, it's too unreliable to use to mod your OS. Download custom ROMs and kernels from XDA.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
After viewing threads of what the ROM manager app had done to some people's phone I would follow Birch's advice.

How can I increase the size of the picture (associated with a contact) on the phone screen?

At the moment pictures are less than 1cm square

Thanks for any advice

yeah id be interested in expanding that pic size as well so bumpty bump.

you know who I think we need on the case?

VJ....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Guys, if you're doing this on a QVGA screen (and maybe VGA), then assuming you're using either the eten, HTC or similar phone dialer skin extension, load it up into Visual Studio (or any resource hacker) and edit the dialogs, and find the image for the contact image. Enlarge to your heart's content. Save, sign (if necessary), reload onto your phone and bask in the glory.

This is all theoretical, I don't use my Universal as a phone, but I have edited the skins and the theory is sound. JGUI's green catepillar project shows what you can do with this idea.

Buzz's site has more detail on the concept (I think).

If necessary, I could write a hacker to do it without resource hacking, but it wouldn't be to everyone's taste, so I haven't.

hrmm as I suspected your the man for the job, but like the other guy im lost as to what you were on about.

Everytime I have tried to resourcehack the universal files they never re-read on the universal once I put em back....

In any case, can you further help us, plz.

And yes were talking about this on the universal, well I am, I use mine as a phone amongst other things.

[Xperia Z General] gerickjohn:
Just noticed the update too, nothing noticeable except maybe some placebo smoothness, it seems much less jittery? At least it's a sign that Kitkat is near.

Also, notice how the screen shots have the Kitkat white battery.

This app is still useless until it allows excluding folders and file types. QuickPic is 100x better.

[General Questions and Answers] user9560:
hey everyone,

i have this paranoia about my rooted phone that some software can automatically share all my personal files and photos via gmail and whatnot. does any such software exist, and is my suspicion valid?

also, some apps require permission to access "billing services". do these apps automatically start to incur charges? what about malware, that call foreign lands through your dialer? will AVAST antivirus protect me from that? honestly i think AVAST is useless because i tested it with a trojan which it could not detect nor remove...

do my suspicions have any basis, or am i just overthinking things?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightfrost95:
Hello members of XDA,

I am currently looking to replace my I337 for either the i9505, or the i9505G. I'm pretty sure that the i9505 does not support AT&T's LTE bands. So with that in mind, here are my questions;

1. Does the i9505G support AT&T LTE?

2. is the i9505G compatible with i9505 ROMs?

3. is the i9505G as locked down as the I337?

I thank you in advance for the answers received.

Thank you for reading,

Hope I've posted this in the right place, If not I apologise.

A friend of mine gave me his "Galaxy S4" to look at for him as (and I quote) "it doesn't look right"

He is well aware he has purchased a clone phone and the fact that it has 2 different IMEI numbers (one for a galaxy Note and one for a SE W595) is a dead giveaway. He has asked me though if it is possible to install android on the device. My gut feeling is no and I'll explain why:

IT IS NOT RUNNING ANDROID NOW!!

It is running an OS I have NEVER seen before. The menu's are bizarre and the settings menu looks nothing like anything i have seen before. I managed to find out the system info and this is what I have:

Anyone know if my gut feeling is right or not??
[General Questions and Answers] caspboy:
No, Its for sure a clone, but it's running android. There aren't many mobile operating systems, other than tizen os, ios, windows mobile and firefox os. Of course its not running ubuntu os. So the only way to tell is to install apk (android app) and see if it will install. You can download one from xda or Google play - and if the phone has google play its for sure android.

Its probably another generic chinese ripoff. Most likely the bizarreness you found is just a theme, alot of manufactures them android.

Can you post a screenshot of os or a pic of the phone;)
[General Questions and Answers] lembi2001:
It is not running on android, the "Google Play Store" and "Samsung Apps" Apps are just webpages. The Pre-installed games Angry birds and Fruit Ninja appear to be flash based only.

Not sure that this will ever run android. Giving it back to him tomorrow,

It's many days I'm becoming crazy to find this...

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canadient:
I have a few questions regarding the SCH-i705 (Verizon LTE Galaxy Tab 2 7.0). I've read through the forums like crazy and I feel I'm at a dead-end knowledge trail.

My only desire is to speed this tablet up. If someone knows of a software tweak or some nice apps I could add through G.Play, I'd love any advise. To simply fix input accuracy and scrolling responsiveness and I'd be really appreciating the thing. Upgrading to VRBMI1 didn't change any of that, so....

"Why not put a custom rom on here?" I always think to myself. And that's okay, but where I normally get into trouble is when I expect it to be simple? That's just crazy...

And then I find out this "Galaxy Tab 2" was deeply different from the other easily rooted and unlocked Galaxy Tab 2 I had previously had some experience with, but since I've already lost you by now I might as well type some random **** that makes you scared and confused by a fractionalized VRBLL2 sized buffalungus that you found on your doorstep this morning. It's hard not to think about how unfair and unfortunate it is the world may never hear of the great buffalungus; that my children, and children's children, or adopted children, if we do so to adopt, which we probably won't, but we better write that into the plan too. Now excuse me for a moment because this carrot up my ass is agitating me. It alone could alter the course of history with this device I better throw some more text in here to cover my trails rambling on about everything but VRBLL2s, rootings, unlocking, and Odinses.

Onto a more serious note, MrHyde03's post detailing instructions for the rooting of the tablet indicate that the instructions are only for version VRBLL2, and his instructions for installing the rooted VRBMI1 rom call for an unlocked bootloader, which requires ROOT to do.

QUESTION 1:

Does anyone have any stock rom App or tweak suggestions to aid in input accuracy and scrolling responsiveness?

QUESTION 2:

Is it possible to downgrade to VRBLL2 somehow?

- A force switch, maybe? (/f, -f, --force) I dunno. Just thinking out loud. I tried to Odin the STOCK VRBLL2 rom with Odin 3.04 which created error and the tablet wouldn't boot. Odined back stock VRBMI1 which got me back up and running, albeit, stock again. Maybe copy some files from the VRBLL2 tarball and stick'em in the VRBMI1 tarball? Start with system.img.ext4?

QUESTION 3:

Has anyone tried to follow the VRBLL2 rooting instructions from a tablet running VRBMI1, did it work, and does this verify or not the *SAMSUNG* signed keys have been changed?

I'm trying to save myself and others from bricking and bring more concise knowledge to the other owners out there.* More knowledge about the process would be fantastic and only add to the wonderful R&D done by MrHyde03 and many others! :good:

tl;dr: [9]

I'm in the same group... looking to find a way to unlock the bootloader. Saw MrHyde03's post and his warning about the new VRBMKI1. I bricked my tab. Not a soft-brick, a full-on "will not power on any longer, does not do anything but hold down paper" brick. Managed to take it back and get a new Tab 2. Now, before I screw it up, I'm looking for knowledge. Here's to hoping someone knows a way.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JelloB:
We are the black sheep of this tab. You can find the "one click" root method in one of Hydes threads. If you get rooted you can install setcpu and crank it up some. That's pretty much it tho. I don't think you can unlock the bootloader anymore and even if you could there's nothing worth flashing.

I'll never make the mistake of buying a Verizon tab again. Freaking pariahs over here.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Prwteas:
Hi people,

When I bought this T-Mobile contract with MDA Vario HTC Wizard, I thought maybe I was overestimating my needs and I wouldn't need such a device. I proved myself wrong...but still I need some help.

The last thing the salesman told me was 'Have fun!'. Well, i Don't an that's why:

I bought it in Netherlands, and they forgot to mention that it is the Dutch version of Windows Mobile 2005. I need to change it, but I don't really know which one to choose. I've read that QTEK ROM makes the Phone faster. Is there any standard in the way the filenames are named?

As far as I understand, I can install the english version of windows mobile 2005, and then download the T-mobile settings for Netherlands. Still I need two downloads. Is there any T-Mobile Netherlands with English WM2005 ROM?

If I install the English WO2005, will the SIMlock function keep on working?

I have these parameters:

ipl 1.06

spl 1.06

gsm 1.12.10

os 1.6.2.2

Which one is the most important to refer to when trying to find a new ROM to install?

Thanks for your patience.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] faria:
first of all you need to [cid] unlock before younedd anything

then you can install any rom/language versao that you want

as for T-Mobile Netherlands all you need is the cab file for that operator and you can find that in here this forum just by asking for it

yes your sim will still work but you could sim unlock with the same tool that you need to cid unlock.

It is most likely a legit card. Hopefully it lasts though. Adata makes a ton of cards, but about 40% I would guess are crap. And if course every one I have gotten from them ended up being in that 40%.

Take some pictures if it, and which zero lemon you have, the 10000 ma one? I was thinking of doing the exact same thing, so I am very curious how this will turn out. Good luck.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] noobtoob:
I am actually quite used to it. I was (am) the kid who could never even win at bingo. So my luck with bad cards is nothing new to me.

Other people, like you, swear by them. But for the life of me, I could not get one to last over 1 week. 3 of them were within the last month. I kept returning hoping the next one would work.

And no, I am not hard on them. I have 2 other ones, sandisk and some unknown brand and I have had those for 4 years...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] d12unk13astard:
I just couldnt believe 256gb for 50$ Sold!!!

I hope you guys are right about being a decent enough card, i've been very loyal to Sandisk but they were going for $200+ compared to Adata's. I have the Zerolemon 10,000mah and Otterbox like case, I'm hoping the sdcard adapter wont leave a huge added bulk on top of the battery so the casing can still fit. Otherwise i might just rock my stock battery and use the foam casing with otterbox to hold the adapter still.

Not everything is a scam, you just really need to check user reviews and feedback on the seller, if it looks fake(i almost didnt order it but i thought what the hell its paypal i'll get my money back) just keep looking around i got lucky with this card but they are out there!

Have you tried copying a large amount of data to the card? From what I've read, fake cards will often format to their full capacity but fail when you copy an amount of data which exceeds their true capacity.
