When the 4.3 to 4.4 KitKat OTA for the Nexus 4 came out, there were (atleast) 50+ threads a day from people who bricked their rooted phone trying to apply it. I just put links in my signature to instruction for factory restore, instead of trying to help them individually.
[Moto X General] flashallthetime:
Hard bricking a moto x is a hole different story, I wish it was as easy as a nexus device but its not. I've got threads warning people and the same Frigging issues pop up, one after another. Maybe I shouldn't be helpful and be like all the other lurkers and users but that's not me. All I ask is read , read and search

What's the difference?
[Moto X General] flashallthetime:
Obviously if you can reflash the system files to bring your. phone back to life , that's a soft brick. Moto x won't even boot to the boot loader screen if you hard brick it , chances are you'll never get it running again. Nexus devices are a hole different animal

Sent on my Gummy running Lenoto X
[Moto X General] Cozume:
but what is the difference b/t a nexus device and a moto x that causes the former not to be hard brickable but the latter is?
[Moto X General] flashallthetime:
Nexus devices by nature are specifically designed to unlock and root, while the moto x is designed as a standard consumer phone. Moto updates the boot loader on every ota, you flash the wrong firmware with the wrong boot loader , your almost guaranteed to hard brick your moto if you accept an ota

Well, redundant threads bother me as well, but that's for the mods to worry about. My advice is to just ignore them. No one is making you reply and as much as you may want to help people, some just can't be helped or don't want to do the work for themselves. If I were you, I'd stop trying to help for a while if it bothers you enough to start a thread about it. I'm not trying to be a jerk, all I'm saying is life is too short to get this upset about something as insignificant as this.

Alright, so I am going to be getting this phone in a few days. A guy is trading me his white S3 + $120 for my HTC One. I just wanted to know a few things. 1. he had it rooted but he unrooted it and I believe he is on the latest update, how can I root it back? 2. what's the latest update name? (MK3?) 3. Can I flash 4.4 roms on the latest update? 4. What kernels can be flashed on what radio? Or does it just matter which rom? Thanks :cowboy:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
This thread will be the one you want for getting the phone rooted:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2596697

The OP, [MENTION=5397578]goku2778[/MENTION], is very helpful and responsive.

As to your other concerns:

The latest update is MK3, which contains the Knox bootloader. However, Knox is only an issue if you try to use Odin to flash older firmware. You can flash any custom ROM you want-4.1.2, 4.3, 4.4. I highly recommend just being on the cutting edge and going with 4.4 KitKat. Carbon is phenomenal, as is CyanogenMod11. CyanFox is my other current favorite, but there is a lot of work being done by a lot of awesome devs and maintainers, so feel free to try a bunch to see what you like best! Kernels and radios are also like ROM's, in terms of you can safely flash any of the available kernels and any radio you desire to find the best ones for your personal use.

Once your phone arrives, feel free to PM me or post if you need any help or suggestions, there are a lot of helpful members cruising around on this forum!

You need how to use kitchen first, IMO.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Dsixda Kitchen and Archikitchen both work well for our phone. It takes a bit of reading and tinkering around but it works. Do a Google search for Scott's ROMS, there is some great info there on building your own ROM from scratch.The link is at the bottom of the main page and in a small link at the bottom of the second page. I haven't posted a link because I'm not sure if we can link to other forums on XDA.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
What you are asking is an extremely broad topic.

If you want skills that will last you a lifetime, take a programming class and then attempt to build a Wanam Exposed module of your own. If you want skills which will last a year or less, learn about ROM kitchens.

But IMO you need to learn how to search this site first.

Thank you sir i thought the same lol. Yea Ii was looking through there and found that ROM kitchen just didn't know it was compatible withe Note 3 ROMS. I shall sift through and try to learn as much information as I can. Thanks guys!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
LOL. Pot, meet Kettle. Kettle, meet Pot.

But I don't remember calling anybody names.

I just ran that search I recommended - 73 different threads. I would have posted a link to the search results, but I'm pretty sure they are tied to a forum session key and/or are only cached for a short amount of time, so there isn't much of an alternative to saying "use the search function".

And the other advice I gave - attempting to write a Wanam Module after learning a little bit of programming - would propel someone down a path where they would end up understanding exactly how apps work / interact with framework classes / load resources / etc. They would then know how to deal with *any* Android device from a UI-centric point of view.

Nothing wrong with using a ROM kitchen; but someone who is entirely new to it (as the OP suggested) is probably better off trying to create a ROM by hand the first time through. They will actually learn something doing that. Thereafter, if they want to use a "kitchen" to speed up some of the drudgery, at least they will then have some idea of what is going on under the hood.

cheers
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpike:
Op I agree that your post is broad. If you know how to theme then you probably know how to diff. To me that's a great way to break things down and learn how things interact. I'm far from an RD or any of those coveted tags people get when they create a bunch of awseomesauce, but I have some experience. Grab the stock base beans made and release a Rom. Debloat, theme and put it out there. You will get feedback on what you need to learn. Then you can port stuff from different carriers or roms(giving credit of course). I never learned how to use a kitchen. Just apktool or an apkmanager. Also, if you can get involved with a group of people they can push you and give you critical feedback on your design and development. The Verizon boards need more people like y'all who are willing to learn. It's amazing how many files need editing to make a solid rom...it really takes a lot of time. I'm willing to answer questions if you have anything specific.

I use winmerge. It's very helpful in finding xml and other file changes.

First I wanted to say sweet rom. But when I installed it my 4g signal went down from 4 bars to barley 1 bar.

is there a tweak to fix this. Also my venom pie tweak app disappeared.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
We're you on a 4.1.2 Rom before? Because with 4.1.2 the 4G signal bars actually reflected the signal of 3G and that was corrected with 4.3 so now you will would see the actual 4G signal strength. Apparently the signal quality of 4G is better on 4.4

Hello,

I have a BA with 1.42 T-Mobile upgrade kit, 1.15 Radio Rom. I have an italian operator, Vodafone. When GPRS is on it happens that the first time I receive a call, this is diverted, while the second time I receive a call the phone rings but it does not accept 'Answer' or 'Decline' button and at the end the GPRS connection falls out. I read that the normal behaviour should be that GPRS connection is freezed and then resumed at the end of the call. Anyone can share the same experience?

Thank you

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kzn:
I've searched high and low for a solution and after two nights of no result, maybe the best way to figure this out is to ask here and hopefully someone could help me!

-I was on MK2

-Rooted the phone successfully.

-I tried to install clockworkmod via ROM MANAGER, obviously, this did not work. I can only get into the stock recovery.

-Tried it with ODIN as well, the process kept failing so I gave up.

-I then found SAFESTRAP.

-This recovery works and I managed to backup my system, it is currently on the miniSD.

-Then using safestrap, I tried to flash cyanogen. This was a dumb move.

-My phone stopped working since then.

-It will either stay on the charge icon when plugged in, or stuck at the "custom" splash screen when not plugged in.

-I can no longer get into Safestrap. I was not able to get into the stock recovery either, but it's working now.

-So I can get into download mode, recovery mode, but nothing else.

-I've downloaded all the stock firmwares that I could find, even trying with ODIN but the processed fails every time.

The firmware I found were: I9505XXUFNA5, I337UCUAMDB_I337ATTAMDB_ATT

-I've tried different versions of ODIN and different USB ports and cables and such.

-I've also tried KIES (I was desperate!) and that did not work either because it kept failing and I decide to quit after it gave the same results several times.

I can get into Download mode or Recovery.

Anyone has any bring idea about how to fix this? I figured since the phone still boots into the two modes so it's not completely lost yet! I really appreciate any help!

For $30 it's hard to go wrong with these. You can expect great battery life and good sound and call quality.

The sound quality is above average for the price range. Note 3 and headphones pair well, don't disconnect.

Using the microphone in calls is actually pretty decent. If I am speaking loudly and clearly the other caller doesn't even know except that I am panting because I most often use these while jogging.

According to the reviews on Amazon: I have a small head (I'm 6', 200 lbs?) or all the reviewers have GARGANTUAN melons on their necks! The headphones aren't that adjustable and I wish that I could make them smaller. Many reviewers claim they aren't large enough. :confused:

Bottom Line: These are not the best sounding headphones I have ever owned, nor the best fitting but I still recommend them.

I give them a 4 out of 5. :good:

Refering to TheNextWeb

W’ve already seen leaks suggesting that Samsung is preparing a significant overhaul for TouchWiz, the user interface on its Android devices, and now the company has teased a set of new, streamlined and circular icons for it.

This teaser posted to Samsung’s blog and social media accounts shows a simplified set of icons which have been added to the media invitation for its Unpacked 5 event, where it seems likely the Galaxy S5 will be unveiled. The fitness and lifestyle icons may also be a nod to the Google Now-style alerts that last month’s leak suggested would arrive in TouchWiz.

Samsung hints at TouchWiz redesign with the latest teaser for its Unpacked 5 event

The event takes place in less than two weeks, so there’s not long to wait. TNW will be ring-side in Barcelona to bring you the latest as soon as it is announced.

Seems that Samsung is going to introduce new set of apps and some change in their icons pack

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
The reason TW exists is the same reason all OEM's offer overlays or unique features (EG: LG=Knock on, rear controls, HTC=BlinkFeed, BoomSound, Sony=unlimited content, waterproof, "G" cameras); they don't want to end up all looking the same and being Google's hardware-providing *****-slaves to their search marketing and content sales empire where all the money's made.

The last OS distribution report Google put out has 4.4 at 1.8% of deployed devices. That includes the N4, N5, N7, and N7-13 which are the highest selling Nexus devices. If you assume that at least 75% of Nexus owners upgraded to 4.4 as soon as they got the chance that means of the entire universe of Android devices less than 2.5% are "pure" by design; meaning people sought out Nexus because of its purity and even some of those may have chosen Nexus based on price. There's a reason there are rumors that Google may be exiting the Nexus business and moving to a "Play Edition" hardware model instead and why they took a loss on the sale of Motorola.

The answer to why TW and overlays exist is in what the other 97.5% of smartphone shoppers are buying and why. Here's a clue. 900MM smartphones were sold last year. There are 5.5M XDA members. What "enthusiasts" want doesn't necessarily reflect on the masses. And Samsung (53%) and Apple (56%) made 109% of mobile device profits last year. The number's greater than 100% because all the rest (including Google/Nexus/Motorola) lost money. So I wouldn't expect Samsung to dump their proprietary market-differentiating s/w anytime soon in spite of the single unsubstantiated rumor being spread by re/code that's been picked up Internet-wide. The tease of TW changes in the SGS5 Unpacked invitation and M-UX on the Pro tablets certainly don't indicate any change in Samsung's direction. And why would they change? Their making money and gaining market share (their margin dropped because the high-end's maturing but so did Apple's).

Personally, I like and use some of Samsung's unique s/w features and choose their devices because of them. I'm in this forum because of S Pen, S Note, and Multi View. Others, to your point, maybe not so much. People should buy what makes them happy but Android "purists" buying Samsung devices, especially the s/w heavy Note-series, and then complaining about it after the fact doesn't make a lot of sense. Perhaps lobbying Google to make a 10.1" Nexus "Note" with a pen and active digitizer would be time better spent.
