[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moosach:
Hey, thanks everybody for the suggestions. I'm running stock 4.4.2 and want to stay there. Xposed and Gravity serves all my modding needs. I will have a look to ex-themer. Another launcher is no option though. My N5 runs so stable and smooth (far far better than my previous HTCs with multiple custom roms). Maybe I really should extract the icons from the UI app. :) Only question is what happens with scaling.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
Nothing happens because both phones are XXHDPI. You have to get the images from the HTC One or another HTC phone with a 1080p screen. You should try it, but make a backup so if it doesn't work you don't have to flash the entire factory image.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadellah177:
Good day,

So First of all i have a Samsung Galaxy SII Gt-i9100 with Official Kernel and 4.1.2Jb

Overall, Jelly bean is good but not on the S2, still a noticable speed difference with its successor i9300

I Looked up some ROMS on Cyanogen website, And i looked for Stable roms, and the latest stable version is this one

http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9100&type=stable

I really don't know what they exactly mean by "Stable" and All i'm worried about is the

battery life

, i want a better battery life than the one i already have, and i would really appreciate some guidance from you experienced S2 users in choosing a custom

Kernel

that suits my needs which are nothing but good battery life and no random reboots. i heard Siyah kernels are pretty good and cyanogen's too.

And all Cyanogen ROM Suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thanks for reading

OK......CM JB is gonna be more battery friendly than stock JB simply because of the lack of bloatware........

Please don't ask for kernel/ROM recommendations as this is against XDA rules.......

the idea is YOU try them out and YOU decide what is best for YOU.........
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhavstech:
use cm10.1.3 is it the best most battery friendly ,actually most of cm nightlys are ok for daily usage u can even try cm11m3 its also almost stable ,there are many options for custom kernels in stock ,u choose the best for yourself ,for cm and other aosp/aokp roms use the provided kernel for stock bestrecommendation is dorimanx kernel
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadellah177:
Thanks for the clarification, But trying all kernels available will be just a total waste of time and energy, although i'm actually thinking about flashing the cm10.1.3, Do i have to change the kernel? can i just

download latest CWM,

flash it with odin,

do all wipes etc and

flash rom + gapps?

will this process change kernel? because cm10.1.3 doesn't come with any custom kernel inside the package..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
All ROMs come with their own built in kernels......if you want to change this, it's up to you.....just gotta do your research first........
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flasherruts:
i'd suggest you to flash cm10.1.3 stable release or cm10.2 last nightly ( i guess 26th jan nightly was the last one ) as they both are stable and can be used as daily drivers . if the tag " stable " matters to you and of course , the battery too , try out Infected_'s EOL cm10.2.1 final release .. it is a stable release and is a bit faster than the official one as it is compiled using the linaro toolchain .. all the roms i mentioned are smooth , lagless , and yes , stable and battery friendly . i hope my suggestions are helpful and all the best ! #HappyFlashing :)

[Verizon LG G2] BolderBoulder:
Verizon LG G2. Rooted, but I did not install a custom ROM. The 12b OTA update was installed.

I downloaded the Mobile Hotspot APK that skips the provisioning check from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2456338.

I am new here, so I cannot post in that forum.

The hotspot works, but will shut off every ten to 15 minutes and I don't know why.

If FoxFi ever figures out how to run on the G2, I would not even bother with rooting. I have a limited data plan, and I resent Verizon asking me to pay even more to use the data I already paid for.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks.

EDIT: I went into app manager, found the Provision app, cleared the cache, and now I seem to be fine.
[General Questions and Answers] GuestD0473:
Hi guys!

Great forum. Goot my first Android device ever yesterday: Huawei G700-U20. I would like to root it and add a Custom rom (KitKat 4.4).

Got some problems in the first stage tough: installed Framaroot (and my phone is supposed to be supported according to the list), but when opening the app it says: "Your device seems not vulnerable to exploit included in Framaroot"

What am I doing wrong?

It this the only opportunity to root the phone? As you can see - I'm very unexperienced, so please bear with me:)
[General Questions and Answers] talvigi:
we need to wait too much for 4.4.2

aleselison,

i think we need to wait too much for a update of Kitkat 4.4.2 for our G700 to get that
[General Questions and Answers] GuestD0473:
But if I root it and use custom rom, I should be able to get it - no?
[General Questions and Answers] talvigi:
That is the real Question Dear Alexe;

which custom ROM, Did you find any for G700?

IF yes then please mention it in the comments i would love to do it too.

waiting for your reply
[General Questions and Answers] KrimsonHart:
There is No custom KitKat ROM for the G700 series. We will need to wait.
[General Questions and Answers] amyren:
I have the same phone, I used eroot to do the rooting without any problem.

http://huaweinews.com/2013/10/root-ascend-g700/
[General Questions and Answers] talvigi:
Rooting Huawei is not the problem, you can do it very easily with the help of farmaroot app with out any PC.

But the real question is whether we have any good advantage of rooting this mobile if there is no custom ROM or any other type of update available in the market, than what is the best use of rooting and cracking your warranty.
[General Questions and Answers] amyren:
He was asking if there was other options to root the phone other than framaroot, so I just told him one other option :)

On the other side, yes its true that there are no custom roms for the U20. But that is not the only reason for rooting a phone since there are several apps that do require a rooted device.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pacattosul:
hello ! after a week of testing ive finally found a solution for samsung galaxy s4 clone ( mt6572 gt-i9500 ). with no service !

Soo , you have no service and can't make calls ! follow this instructions and you will be talking on your phone in no time ;)

Its very simple : ( i'll add the necessary links / software for this job )

1. you need SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1316.0.150

2. you need the WORKING ROM ! modified by me

3. you need MtkDroidTools

( this version is allready modified to work with mt6572 )

The procedure :

we must first format the phone using SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1316.0.150 . soo we open the program and select the scatter file.txt atached in the rom . hit format and then hit OK.

Now remove the battery and connect the usb cable to the phone. it will start formatting the phone. wait till is ready ( you will see a green circle )

At this point , the phone is ready to receive the new ROM

you have allready selected the scatter file early'r .

THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT !!! uncheck the CACHE and USRDATA at the bottom.

Now hit Download button , you will get a warning message, just press YES

Now put the baterry back into the phone, and connect the usb cable. wait till the process end's and when you see the green circle you can disconect the phone, remove the battery, insert back the battery and power on the phone , and voila !! your phone have working network !!

Next step is to write the IMEI...

Use MtkDroidTools ( you must have debugging mode on in the phone ) connect the phone to the usb cable, wait till MtkDroidTools see your phone , and then hit the big imei button. There you must provide the imei number ( you can find it under the battery ) after that you hit write imei and then reset your phone and you are good to go ;)

I presume that you allready have the usb drivers ( if not, i can also provide them )

For other questions use the forum below ;)

If i have saved your day, maybe you consider making a small donation ;) ( for that, use the DONATE TO ME button under my name )

Have a nice day !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oscarblue48:
Thanks for this tut, [MENTION=1479192]pacattosul[/MENTION] its very easy to follow, unlike some I've come accross, could I ask this?, will this not work by just using Mtkdroid tools as in the latter part of your tutorial? without the need of flashing a new rom?

Also I hope you dont mind a bit of constructive criticism, the developer of Mtkdroid tools [MENTION=5119815]rua1[/MENTION] has specifically asked that his program is not placed on other sites for download, perhaps you could just change your post to link to his thread, here..... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2160490 Plus I do feel you are rather inviting problems by not specifying the details and build of your device that you have tested this method on, I don't have this phone but I'm sure there are quite a few different versions out there and the result of flashing the wrong preloader for your device can be a $200 paperweight, as I'm sure you know, and with that in mind I would stress that before embarking on this, a full backup is desirable in case it all goes t*ts up. Hope you don't mind my mentioning this stuff, if you decide to make those few minor changes, I'll edit and delete this paragraph, don't want to spoil your thread.;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pacattosul:
hello oscarblue48 !

i really don't mind that you point my mistakes... im actually happy cause as you say, MTKtools its somebody's work and should really be apreciated. BUT, this tutorial only work's with this special version of MTKtools !! i'm not responsable if you use any other tools/versions !!

you say that people may broke 200$ phone if they flash this rom... ok it may happend, but only if they mistake the model-version of the phone ! like ive say'd this tutorial and the rom only goes for MT6572 GT-I9500 SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 CLONE !! if they flash this rom on other devices they are responsible for what they do...

Actually , this rom goes for dead phones as well ( as i mentioned on other site ) , so i supose that most of the people , when they reach this tutorial, its for a good known reason ;)

You also ask me if you can only use the mtktools... well you can easylly use that program, but you will probably not change anything inside that phone. most of the people try'd mtktool and complain that the imei remains null or empty after writing with this tool... soo in order to fix the annoyng NO SERVICE problem, i recommend that you follow the entire tutorial ;)

I hope ive answered all your questions, and offcourse if you encounter any problem you can allways comeback and simply ask ;)

Hi all,

I've got a GT-N7100 and I'm currently running Ditto Note 3. I struggled to find which firmware my phone was meant to run on stock. Its a South African phone so I downloaded the XFE 4.1.2 one for South Africa.

Tried the following things but in vain.

1. Did a hard reset(a screen with a message to change to factory default comes on.After pressing 0 it says its clearing and turns off and does ot come back on)

2. took the batteries and left it for some time but still no use.

The procedure is as usual (Beware: This root method will flag or trip the KNOX counter):

1. download the zip file and unzip it

2. Use Odin 3.09 and put the unzipped tar.md5 file in the AP slot (all options set to default)

3. Boot your NotePRO into download mode (turn off NotePRO and hold the volume down button and power button simultaneously. Follow the instructions on the screen)

4. connect the NotePRO to your computer via the USB port, wait until Odin sees the device and hit Start
