Hi Guys

I need some basic help/understanding about Android ROM modification.

In particular for an Android MX TV Box - but the questions is generic and applies to any ROM I guess.

The Rom im flashing has the following files (and works perfectly):

factory_update_param.aml

hd18d_mx4.zip

recovery.img

I am able to successfully restore my box with this image (so I know that the image is working fine).

Within the hd18d_mx4.zip there is:

Directotories: data, META-INF, recovery, system

files: boot.img, bootloaded.img, logo.img

I tried to do a very basic step of deleting a single system.apk file from the system/app folder (no other changes) and I am unable to flash this firmware.

Any ides - what am i doing wrong?? It seems like i cant make any modifications to the zip file or there are problems.

I tried using dsixda Rom kitchen, and even if put rom in working directory, and then immediately

Please help - this is driving me mad!! Aaarrghghg

Huawei(s) have locked bootladers... Which means custom recoveries (cwm, twrp..) are next to impossible to do/use, which means no backups to save you when $h¡+ happens, which also means working ROMs are virtually nonexistent... Sorry bro.. Might be time to exchange/trade in/return..

kept all my other apps and stuff. even after doing a hard reset it still shows "rooted"

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sig. Gargiulo:
Hi all,

after the upgrade to KitKat 4.4.2 I'm having some problem such as application root permission loss (AdAware) and, the most boring, screen rotation malfunction.

Some weeks ago, it started blocking the screen in portrait and the accelerometer stop working. It was possible to rotate to landscape the screen only with specific screen rotation apps or via games that set the rotation by their self. Any reboot didn't solve the issue but "magically" every malfunction disappeared after some days of sickness ! LOL

Some days ago the problem back on my Nexus but with some variations. I turn on the tablet and the screen keep in portrait and after some minutes it turn to landscape automatically. No way to restore it to portrait except with a reboot, any other third part application can only turn the screen to reverse portrait or landscape or reverse landscape!

Any ideas about this pain in the back?

Thanx

So I did this yesterday and it worked.... but the phone started trying to update again today and now the terminal command only works for the first minute of power-on. After that, the phone just tries to do the update again and puts me back in twrp.

PLEASE HELP!!!
[AT&T LG G2] Naes:
Mine was doing the same. Let your battery get down to like 25% and then enter the command. The update won't install because of low battery. Then you can go into titanium and freeze software updates. Make sure you're not plugged into a charger when you when you enter the command.
[AT&T LG G2] khawajakustoms:
took a while to wear my battery down, but got it done and so far so good. Thank you for the tip.

I had to uninstall the software update instead of just freezing it (I don't have the paid version). I figured freezing and uninstalling would have the same result ultimately. That shouldn't cause any problems right?
[AT&T LG G2] Naes:
I wouldn't think so but maybe someone with more knowledge will chime in. Hopefully it doesn't try to download the update again.

Key is to have version 5.21 or above, and the version for PocketPC, not Smartphones or others.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Tomtooter:
Version

My 5 is the Upgrade Pack (I used to have TT3) & I elieve its 5.0 I then go online to download latest versions for my M500 & M2000

The problem I have with the M600 is TomTom crashing on installation. The CD still works fine with my M2000

Have hard reset my M600 3 times, each time it gets to the TomTom install stage & then fails. After the 1st time (after each reset) TomTom crashes.

How can I get the 5.21 installation?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Lightbird:
hello dear members,

i tryed to get rid of the .thumbnails folder (found on internal Storage - DCIM) because its that huge (3 GB) and every time i deleate it it slows down my Phone, the ZU gets really hot and that for about 10 minutes and after that the folder is back again containing all my Photos in a smaller version + an huge file that is as big as all the original Photos on my SD-Card. I would be very happy, if the folder would be history.

Does anyone has this Problem too and would help me, please? Thanks :laugh:.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mknewman:
If you use the Album app this will happen. The .thumbnails folder has reduced size images of every .gif, .jpg, .mp4, etc type media file on your phone. Not 100% sure if this works but if you create a file " .nomedia " in directories you don't want to show up it will not cache them. Delete the .thumbnails and reboot, bring up Album (I use QikPic instead) and it will re-cache them.

If you have a rooted phone I believe you can use Titanium Backup to disable the Album process. That will keep it from creating the cache but it will also mean Album won't work.

By the way, I have had an instance where the process was running continually and would never complete. The reason turned out to be a corrupted file. I had to go through thousands of pictures to find the one causing the issues. If you see a file that doesn't have a thumbnail that's a likely candidate.

Marc
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
By removing this folder, your gallery would have black squares and with no chance at getting any ideas about what was what. You can delete the folder, but it'll come right back again once you open your gallery. It's not possible to permanently remove it. The problem here is that you have way too many photos on your Ultra.

I have 279 thumbnails which uses 86MB. You must have thousands of photos, so there's nothing wrong with that folder, it's the amount of stuff you have in your gallery that is the problem. Time to clean it!

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

Yes, that's the media_scanner running wild. But no wonder it takes several minutes to scan when he has thousands of photos on his phone. Move them to your Dropbox instead and use that as a gallery when you want to look at them. No caching or thumbs.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Lightbird:
ok, i`ve got a solution i think (works for 30 mins right now):

deactivate the Album App under apps

deleate the .thumbnails folder

create a new file whith ES Explorer named .thumbnails

reboot (dunno if necessary)

activate Album again

reboot

open Album, wait 10 minutes

check if the folder is still there, if not its a sucess - (till now...)

[HTC Droid DNA] tstorm004:
Hey guys,

Been using my DNA for the past year without a case and finally cracked the screen. Needless to say, after I repair it I'll be getting a case.

My issue is, most of the cases I see for the DNA are either downright ugly, or add a lot of bulk to the phone. I love how slim it is without a case, but obviously, with my clumsy hands should get one for protection purposes.

So, what cases are you guys using?
[HTC Droid DNA] mdphoenix:
I currently have a generic wannabe case. It's got a plastic snap on cover, then a rubber casing around that. It's similar to what I'm getting. I had a Seidio case for my Thunderbolt, and was pleased to find they make the same thing for the DNA. They call it "Dilex" now. But you can get it on Ebay for 10 bucks less than Amazon as the "Active" case. It has a two-piece plastic cover, then a rubber cover, then an exoskeleton. AND it has a kickstand. I loved my Tbolt kickstand. I had my Tbolt for 3 years and it stayed in outstanding condition using the Seidio. I'm definitely a repeat customer.

Here's Seidio's page about the case:

http://www.seidioonline.com/seidio-htc-droid-dna-dilex-s/8532.htm

On Amazon, the price varies from like 28 bucks to 35 depending on color.

http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-CSK3HTDDAK-GR-DILEX-Metal-Kickstand/dp/B00B1N08MA

Here it is on Ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Seidio-Acti...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item485093fbbf

If you find a difference between the "Dilex", and "Active", feel free to educate me. I haven't found a difference yet. I just figured Active was the old name.
[HTC Droid DNA] Ravok:
I have a red Seidio Active (silver kickstand) that I've had since the 3rd day after I got my DNA and it's great. My only complaint is it does feel a little thick and I only use the kickstand as a novelty. It can't reach the wireless charger when propped up and I don't need to charge it other than overnight when I'm sleeping. I had a UAG on my Galaxy S3 and I desperately wish they had a version for the DNA as it offered the same protection but wasn't quite as bulky. The Seidio is top quality though.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Otterbox commuter series, I've been using them for 4 years now and no broken phones or no cracked anythings

Hard thin shell on the outside with a nice durable silicon/rubber on the inside (better IMO that the defender series cases) cost is around 35-40$ however if it breaks (which is extremely unlikely) just take a pic of the broken case and they send you a new one no charge AFAIK

Never needed to get a replacement as these are solid quality cases can't go wrong with otterbox
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
I have been using the diztronic case for over a year and it doesn't add a lot of bulk its basically a tpu case but has a matte finish. I like it and I tried the otter box defender case but it was so bulky I went back. I think its one of the better cases if you want something without bulk but I would think the screen would crack if the phone took a direct hit on the screen. Though I haven't had any cracks with it after a year and I drop my phone every now and then.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
This is not much help, but hopefully you can go another year "naked". I have no case on my phone and love it. My wife has an S4 with a case (I forget the brand, but it has the rubber and then the hard plastic over it), and I think her phone is bulky.

Coming from a Droid 2, 3, and 4, most anything smaller that a 2x4 is small but the DNA has spoiled me.
[HTC Droid DNA] RLGL:
I have cracked screens with and without a case. Currently naked and love it!
[HTC Droid DNA] theseabass:
I use an Incipio Dual Pro. I love it.
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
I use the seido surface. Its raised a little bit above the screen which makes me a little less worried if I drop it, although it's still not as protected as it would be with something like an otterbox. It doesn't add any bulk to the phone, and doesn't ruin the shape of the phone so it looks almost the same as it does with the case off. I would just use the phone naked but it just feels like it's going to slip right out of my hand when I do that.
[HTC Droid DNA] toolsoldier:
I'm using the Seidio Surface too, I love the case, slim, doesn't add bulk, I have drop it a few times and screen still intact, plus the case has a polycarbonate feel, feel great on hand.
[HTC Droid DNA] Supashawn:
I use a otterbox defender and it is kind of bulky; but I am a metal roof salesman and use my phone extensively for work; pictures, pitch guage, ect... If my phone gets dropped on, or off, a roof it's chances of breaking are very high. I like the belt clip as well.
[HTC Droid DNA] sdamark:
I use the Sedio Dilex with the built in kickstand. I miss my Thunderbolt, hahaha. Seriously solid case. :good:
