Your phone needs to be rooted for app to work flawlessly

Might NOT work on 4.1.2 roms 90% of the time, so far only 4.3 showed results

This should work for almost any rooted device, no system restart is required and this is very simple

follow the steps and that's it :)

Install this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale

Then check if the language you want is in the main page and if yes select the language and country if it's present in the main screen

IF NOT

Then click "custom locale" (in the top right screen)

it will open a new screen

then select the language you want from the big list and then the country

No need to select varient, just leave it empty as that's fine

Now Click set and your phne system language should be set to the language you selected

the image shows the language i selected "SINHALA" Country "Sri Lanka",

the screenshot is from stock 4.3 INU Note 2 rom

Or just add your "system language" in csc/ language.xml
[Galaxy Note II General] optimusPRIME:
URL was INCORRECT
[Galaxy Note II General] Devinda:

[Galaxy Note II General] Devinda:
but then again to switch between languages u have to copy and replace xml files again and again right?

this is easier than that i guess. :)

Hello All,

I could really use help. I know this is an old phone but doing research I can not find a single thing to help me....

I got a Virgin Mobile HtC WildFire S I bought it to use as a wifi phone.

I got recovery CWM installed and tried to install a Custom rom with no luck.

Every time I boot the phone it shows htc real fast, vibrates and brings me to hboot.

I tried wipe all, I tried re-installing different roms and still no luck.

This is the message I get when the phone boots

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] alexnader:
Ok, so last night I'm seeing some low "storage memory" messages.

I decide to go into file explorer and delete anything that I don't need. I finish with a few folders that have weird names (but none in any special android system folder as far as I know) that I thought might be remains of spam apps I downloaded a while back; and since then my phone refuses to charge wirelessly !

meaning it charges through USB. It also charges when placed on the wireless charging pad, it lights up recognizing the phone but the phone does nothing, yet if I switch the phone off (essentially killing the software) it'll charge wirelessly without a problem ...

What have I messed up, and how can I fix this ?

PS: I restored from an old backup and the wireless works flawlessly too. So it is just this "current state" of the phone which is messing up.

Also I'm guessing it's a folder I deleted, because my wife's phone has the exact same issue (decided to clear hers at the same time as mine before realizing I had messed up).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobolinko:
maybe next time you want to "Clean Up" the phone, you might rename the folder before actually remove it...

That way, if you unknowingly mess with a "needed" folder you can just rename it back to it;s original name and not be having any problems.

After a few days with no problems, you could delete the folder...

You also could copy the folders to your desktop computer in lieu of actually deleting the folder.

Just my 2 cents...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] saleandoli@aol.com:
Perhaps you can try going into download mode and flashing the stock firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobolinko:
This is rather inconsistent in nature....

If you restored from a previous backup, and presuming the phone was working when the backup was made, AFAIK it should return to the same state that the phone was in when the backup was made. The only part that is not restored in nandroid recovery is the kernel/modem, and it's outside the ability of the file manager to access........ Trolling?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Not EVERYTHING is backed up during a nandroid. Delete your EFS folder then restore a backup, see how that works out. :D Seriously though, don't do that. When I was playing around with Ubuntu Touch, once I made the first attempt to flash it I would have a folder called Ubuntu in my /system/data folder (I think that's the right directory) that would persist until I either deleted it or did an Odin restore. Simply restoring an older backup didn't touch it.

tl;dr, you're incorrect.

[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Yes. If your TV supports HDMI CEC (properly), and Chromecast is powered, it can turn your TV on and switch to it to the proper input.

It's a convenient feature, though Chromecast can't turn the TV back off yet.
[Google Chromecast] zul8er:
So if it supports HDMI CEC why doesn't the Xbox One or a Blue Ray player do it why they are turned on?
[Google Chromecast] mdamaged:
They don't implement that function. It is up to the manufacturer to do so. There are requests all over the internet regarding xbones lack of that specific function.
[Google Chromecast] NORCALkID:
Actually the Xbox one can turn your TV on and off just Google it.
[Google Chromecast] xFuGiToiDx:
It can turn on the TV also by using the ac power adapter and setting the TV to the corresponding HDMI output of the chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] impulse101:
PS4 does, Xbox One is already the biggest failure since Virtual Boy so no surprise there
[Google Chromecast] zul8er:
Actually NORCALkID sparked my interest in googling about the Xbox One and its abilities. Needless to say I have my Xbox One now turning on and off my TV and my receiver. It can also do the volume on the TV, but I put my Xbox sound through my receiver. TV just can't match the receivers 1200watts.

[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
You know what this means right? The latest 4.3 will roll for the 6506 just before this shows up for the 6503 and puts everyone in a holding pattern for another month or two while waiting for the 6506 version to roll...
[Sony Xperia ZL] bhavstech:
so is 6506 always lagging behind? idk bcoz i just bought my 6502 a month ago
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
they are the last to get the update always ...c6503 gets it first then the rest
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
Depends, C6503 generic DE only received initialy 4.3 2 weeks ago
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Really close to when the official US version of the 6506 hit as well... ;)

Not to worry, they'll get it to us eventually... gives me excuse to play with the original development roms again...
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
true ! rather than waiting .. i prefer using those roms meanwhile
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
I find I still have bluetooth issues with Omni... I haven't really played with AOKP KK or CM11 recently... (last time I tried CM11, BT was very buggy...) and Liquid Smooth KK looks great... but some combination of things resulted in it not seeing my sim/baseband, etc...

I know that I don't seem to experience very good battery life with KK ASOP roms... of course, I don't see very great stock rom battery life either. I should spend some quality time with BBS and try and nail down what usually kills my battery life.
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
how much do u get ?

on custom sony roms ..anywhere between 8-12 hours ..

is normally what i get .. havent tried asop
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
It really depends on how much I'm using my phone and if I'm playing games...

Yesterday I was at ~ 56% after ~ 11 hours on a custom sony rom... but it was fairly light usage (30-40 minutes of bluetooth audio playback, multiple gmail account access, some twitter, some facebook, some facebook messenger, some google hangouts, no calls, a few texts, etc.)

Similar time frame on ASOP (Omni) I would have ~ 40%... perhaps a little less. It's not terribly scientific as I'm not doing the exact same thing every day on my phone. it's also not like I don't use my phone at all... I did discover that HDwidgets was really killing my battery recently so I stopped using that.. OH, and to get better battery life on ASOP I'd also disabled GPS and google location services.

In general numbers, I generally see another 3-4 hours of run time when I'm using a Sony stock rom vs ASOP... but I know others get significantly better battery life than I do. *shrug*

(btw, today I'm at ~ 41% battery left after ~ 11:50 on battery, and I have ~ an hour of screen time. (~61% of my battery use is Android OS today... over 9 hours of keep awake time)

Dude, just because we have a screen shot of the Z Ultra with KitKat does not mean that it's near.

Remember the screenshot of the Z with 4.3 we saw? Two months after that the journalist 4.3 rom for our phone leaked, it took another month for Sony to announce it officially and then it took 2 months for it to actually have reached phones.

So it's not near, it's still ages away, I can't believe that anyone is actually expecting this to come so soon, have you forgotten how inept Sony was with 4.3?

If you really want to try KitKat that badly,

Just Root, Backup your TA Partition, Unlock bootloader and Try a Custom ROM!

When Sony releases official KK, just use flashtool to get Stock and flash back TA.

As simple as that :p :good:
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Ok, so now that the 6506 NA has received the .101 update, we'll probably start seeing 4.4 leaks next week... ;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
In the realm of "for what it's worth", over in the Xperia Z forum, there's a guy showing screen shots from "EMMA" with a new version - 10.5.A.0.227 as a potential available rom for the C6603... Doesn't sound like it's out for general release, but my attention's peaked... :D

Sounds like Doomlord is already testing the 4.4 KK release on his 6603...
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
we need someone with access to emma to check the same .. even though the devices are identical meaning it applies to us as well
[Sony Xperia ZL] RyomaEchizen:
Yes. We need someone who check C6502/03/06 firmwares list on EMMA :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
*sigh*

DoomLord's leaked the 4.4 version for the Z...

Asked if he might have the ZL version, but my guess is no.
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
no he said he does not have .. hopefully we will see a leak for zl soon
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Yeah, he said he didn't have... :(
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
btw u are ub right ..so u can still flash that rom ...only screen does not go off issue .. :P
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
I'd tried that with the T-Mobile version of the XZ 4.2 rom because I was curious about their "VoIP" software... after figuring out the screen wasn't ever turning off, and what not, I flashed back to a ZL rom... (I know enough now to accomplish more of what I'd hoped... but it's not really worth playing with right now as I don't think T-Mobile's on the latest software rev anyway)...
[Sony Xperia ZL] BlackFriar:
I'm hopeful we'll see a leak before the official launch; it would be nice to have an FTF leak so as to flash to locked BL. The comment about 4.4.2 being a bit laggy struck me as odd, what do you think, Scifan?

As an aside, did it work? I've been talking to a friend who has it and I think some of the static is due to 2.4GHz WiFi congestion in her building, but not sure.
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
Meh, after seeing the screenshots I don't see why one would be so excited for 4.4

There's almost no differences except downgrade of quick settings...:S
[Sony Xperia ZL] bhavstech:
simple ans bcoz its 4.4
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Wi-Fi calling worked fine. All of the main phone features were fine from what I could tell, but it destroyed battery life because of the screen being constantly on... ran a little warm as well...

As far as the 4.4.2 being laggy, I can understand that as well if it's still a test/debug build... I'm going to guess he isn't distributing the stock kernel as I'm guessing that's why it wasn't booting. That could contribute to lag, and would explain why requires unlocked boot loader. Last leak could be flashed on locked boot loader...

I don't know that you'll find massive changes in 4.4.2, and if that's your criteria to upgrade, then stay with what you have.

I'm personally interested and hoping that 4.4.2 will resolve some nagging issues I'm having with 4.3 - with Bluetooth and with notifications.
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
Look who's come ..4.4 rollout

That's how I used to backup, then it wouldn't read on these android 4+ roms so I used play store apps to backup now.

My suggestion is try the same Rom you backup-ed and see for a restore button in the messaging app. The HTC backup won't work for the 3rd party backups.

If you are trying to get into recovery, press your vol +/- keys and power at same time. Feel vibrate and let go of power.

Does the tablet come with an ap that use the IR blaster; and if not any suggestions in this arena ?

Hum searching it sounds like watchon is suppose to do the job; thoough it is a bit confusing from the description of the app on google-play.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jayception:
WatchOn does a splendid job in my opinion. You can select shows and genres that you like, and it will show you shows that are on specific to the categories and selections that you chose. You can change channels, set reminders, and set favorite channels. Pretty useful remote replacement.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drenyx:
WatchOn is definately the included app meant to be used for remote stuffs, but I found it lacking for my needs. I did like that it integrated with listings so you could find a show and point it at your tv and 'watch now', but I spent all the fun money on this tablet instead of upgrading the living room electronics.

It will likely work if you have a normal/basic tv setup, but I have a bit of an older tv and the tuner inside does not work too well. We use a VCR that gets a better signal off the cable for channels, but no way to make this app do channels on a vcr (or any vcr commands for that matter) and send volume controls to the TV. For reference, a universal remote can do that just fine, and costs under $20. I find it sad that they couldn't implement in software what a cheap universal remote can do...I will be looking to see if some other software is also usable with the IR blaster.
