[HTC Typhoon] oxcarz:
We recently finished porting an existing GPS tracking application to the t-mobile SDA. It would be a great help to us to have a few SDA owners test this application on our test server. Basically, the SDA, paired with a bluetooth GSP receiver, sends your current position to our server periodically (every 10 to 300 seconds). Anyone who knows your account info on the server can see your current breadcrumb tracks, or tracks from previous days, on a web page. The web page uses Google Earth, Google Maps, US census maps, or Virtual Earth maps. Here is a link to some info on this application:

http://www.geocities.com/prestonsystems/mytracking

What you need:

1. SDA smartphone. It may also work with other wm2005 smartphone devices. The SDA is the HTC Typhoon and may be known by other names. Although we do have software for other devices, like PocketPC, this particular program is only for smartphones (no touch-screen) running Windows Mobile 2005.

2. Compact Framework 2.0. It can be downloaded here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6b-356b-4a2c-857c-e62f50ae9a55&DisplayLang=en

3. A bluetooth GPS receiver.

4. Be willing to give us some feedback as we iron out any bugs.

I had a to jump through a few hoops to get the SDA I used for development to work (thanks to XDA Dev for the help with this). First I downloaded and installed this version of regedit:

http://www.spv-developers.com/content/regeditSTG.zip

Then apply these changes to the device’s registry:

Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies:

Change the DWORD named "1001" to 1

Change the DWORD named "1005" to 40

This will allow you to install your own programs. Here are the links I used to help with this:

http://wiki.spv-developers.com/index.php/HTC_Application_Unlock_Guide

http://spaces.msn.com/xpworld/Blog/cns!1pwLVDaHQF6ltiEJslNeKRkA!198.entry

It is all free. You are more than welcome to use the test server as long as you like, however, it is strictly for personal use. And if you have any interest in running the server software on your own IIS system (XP pro or Windows Server 2003, we have a free version available. No need to be terrible technical, but if you can do the registry hacks, you probably already are.

Email me at

jpreston12 at yahoo.com

I will email the .cab file to install on the SDA and help you get it running.

I curious to see what you use! I have heard great things from securranty.

I went to squaretrade and have had nothing but issues... It has been a month and I still dont have a new phone.. They didnt have the phone in stock so they sent a check which was sent to the wrong address so now im waiting on a paypal payment which I was told would only take 2-3 days but I called today (the 3rd day) and asked where the payment was and I was told 3-5 days this time! hopefully I get a phone soon..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahil04:
I have had a squaretrade warranty on all my laptops since I found out about them a few years ago. I had to make a claim once for a power surge that completely fried my laptop and they sent me a paypal payment in about a week or so after I sent in my laptop for them to take a look.

As for warranty on the phone, I personally wouldn't bother because for squaretrade warranty due to it being over 1/3rd of the cost + $75 deductible.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhostSoldier_US:
I didnt have to pay a deductible!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahil04:
Interesting, I've never purchased cell phone insurance before but on the ST website it shows that there is a $75 deductible for it.

"Coverage is valid for new smartphones purchased in the last 30 days.

A $75 deductible applies to all claims."

1.Get utoo root.zip file

2.Go into settings>backup & reset>recovery mode.

3.Once in recovery mode find utoo root.zip file whether it is in the ext storage or internal storage. You can navigate using the volume up button and select using the power button

4. Select the utoo root.zip file.

5.Wait for utoo root file to complete installation

6.After installation reboot system.

7.After reboot open up supersu and update binary.

8.Update supersu using playstore.

9.Open supersu and if you have not bought supersu pro (you should btw), click enable pro features and because chainfire is awesome he basically gave everyone pro features and stuff.

10.Enjoy Root :)

I did this, it worked, mostly.

I did this method.

It worked, sort of...

I was able to get root on my tiny Kurio 4s.

There were some problems though.

Several apps stopped working properly.

The keyboard kept stopping and restarting.

The loader did as well, but did not restart.

I could not use the keyboard to input.

Lucky for me I still had the stock upgrade apk in my system.

I was able to restart in recovery mode and run the upgrade.

That reset everything to factory new.

Then I had to go through the whole catalog of updates...

That took forever.

So, what I want to know is...

Has anyone else done this?

And it's there a more up to date root method I can use on my K4s?

All the other posts on this device are old.

P.s. towelroot does not work on 4.2.2

P.p.s framaroot does not work either.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] robouser1469:
tried again...

Ok, I tried the utoo zip again.

This time (so far) I have not had any issues with misbehaving apps.

At first root checker kept saying that I did not have root.

But after I rebooted, I changed some SU settings and now root check reports that I have root!

ES3 File explorer has root access as does ES startup manager..

Hooray! Successful root on my Kurio 4s touch!

Thank you.

Lets keep this short and sweet. I threw this together using LoserSkater's very easy to follow guide that he posted last year. With the inspiration from Old and Slow getting this to work again on Verizon. Now this is 100% fully functional and should work for any ATT or tmobile device. And lastly thanks to [MENTION=3563575]lowrider262[/MENTION] for the awesome customizable mms.apk from here that makes this return oh so sweet.

If you experience any FCs or issues my first suggestion is to clear your messages. To do so open your favorite root browser and go to here from the root folder "data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases" and remove the following 3 files completely. (mmssms.db, mmssms.db-shm, and mmssms.db-wal)

Thanks to Alex9090 for testing this out on tmobile and finding out it works there flawlessly.

Hey, is there a way to make themeable apk compatible?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
Have you tried one and it doesn’t? Just go into system/app and remove mms.apk and put the one you're talking about in there. Make sure to fix permissions to rw-r--r--
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alex9090:
I did try that. com.android.mms crashes when sending mms. Oh well it's fine. Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
I'll see what I can do with it but no promises since it seems not to work I may need to pull more to make it functional is what I'm thinking
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alex9090:
Hey thanks mate. Didn't mean to Derail your thread. I found one mms.apk that worked with your files do huge thanks again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
Did the one I sent it with not work for you on tmobile?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alex9090:
It worked perfectly. I just wanted the one with built in theme option. Your files made that possible too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Do you mind posting the one you used with theming options?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
Yes please share this and where you found it from if possible so I can give credit to whoever made it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alex9090:
Here you go. I think this one is from baked beans Rom. I had tried this before but mms would always crash. I flashed yours with your framework jar and telephony file and then replaced your mms.apk with this one and it works great now.Thanks again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
Ok sjamie posted this one over in the s3rx thread also. Noticed it was exactly the same. This is awesome thank you guys I will be updating this tonight!

New update in the original post! Now to hook sprint up. :cool:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mdmoose29:
Am I missing something simple? Flashed a few times with no change. Replaced mms.apk in the zip with the one posted and nothing changed. And when I try to rename or overwrite MMS.apk in system/apps through es file explorer I get errors saying I can't.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
Not sure whats going on here but the mms.apk posted is the one in the zip. All you should have to do is flash the zip then you can go and remove the stock messaging apk. You should see 2 messaging apps, one green and one blue. The blue one is AOSP Mms. Only other thing I suggest is clearing your messages and the other step I posted in red in the OP might help any force closes for the app.

It would also be quicker just to use stock messaging but wheres the fun in that

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
try going into root browser and renaming secmms.apk to .bak then flash the zip in twrp. Not really sure whats happening there. Possibly a bad download?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
If you look in settings you can customize it however you want so I'm not sure what you mean

And for installing all you should have to do is flash the zip in recovery and wipe cache and dalvik.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SovPanda:
I cant make it look as good as the option it has for "light/dark" theme toggle, kinda assumed the toggle is stuck on the dark theme?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
There isn't a toggle for the whole theme. The one that you see is for the popup for quick replys. You can use whatever mms.apk you want just replace the one in the zip with one that has it how you want it. Not sure if any from cm11 roms will work though (so all the 4.4 roms). I had to use cm10.2 files to pull from to make this work. The cm11 files just caused it to force close for me. The mms.apk itself may work but I haven't tried one. Haven't bothered looking at other ones since I found the themeable one.

What reasons would there be, if any, if mms over wifi does not work?

No idea what vcards are but you can try it and let me know.

Its been confirmed to work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnyutah22:
A vcard is someone's contact info in file form, the extension is .vcf If an iphone user sends me a contacts info it puts it in this format. Im on aosp messaging and it doesnt work, just get the grey cube. I was hoping your modified app may have solved this issue. Any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jenaltals:
Yeah, I may be an isolated incident then. I'm going to delete all sms/mms and re-flash and try again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
I'm not really sure how to fix this sorry. I will look into it but I can't promise anything.

Yea hope that fixes it. I don't have anyway to test it on tmobile or I'd be more help. I can try making one based off tmobile files this weekend.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisram88:
Mms over wifi works. Double check apn settings and re flash. I didkt delete stock mms apk. I just renamed it and flashed then cleared cache. Worked first shot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SovPanda:
You didn't delete stock? The mms is probably piggy back riding on stock mms, same thing happened on 8sms
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisram88:
Didn't delete it Cuz I renamed it /.bak so its not present.
[Moto X Q&A] Garageguy05:
Listers,

Am looking for insight as to whether I need to be on Verizon's network in order to get the OTA update(s). Have a spanking new Moto X that I'm going to root, and it seems part of the Slapmymoto process involves downgrading from, then upgrading again to 4.4 via OTA.

I've briefly activated the phone to ensure that everything works, then deactivated it, as I don't have time this weekend to tackle. I'd like to run the root process before reactivating the phone.

But this approach will only work if I can access the OTA via wifi. Can anyone confirm that this indeed possible?

Any and all information appreciated.

TIA,

GG
[Moto X Q&A] tcrews:
Yes it will come over WiFi.

Sent from my Nexus 10
[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
OTAs will push over WiFi but I think you may have to have the phone active on an account for that to happen.

Just hurry up since we are going to get the 4.4.2 OTA soon and once that happens, you won't be able to root. And don't take the 4.4.2 OTA once you root without reverting back to stock.

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

but will it be pushed if the phone is not active on an account at the time? I believe that is what he is asking. I know if the phone is active on the account it will be pushed over WiFi, but I am not sure if you take the phone off of the account that it will be pushed.
[Moto X Q&A] tcrews:
Yes, has nothing to do with being activated. If Verizon pushed and OTA, any device getting that OTA will get it with a data connection regardless of it being cellular or WiFi connectivity and/or in service or not.

Sent from my Nexus 10
[Moto X Q&A] mastarifla:
Yes it will, the update trigger-ability is based on the ROM itself, not the network you are on currently. If you have the Verizon ROM, then it's sent out OTA on their Network and also from the web. Think of it this way, it's all coming from the same folder somewhere on the internet, Verizon is just also pushing the particular "link" through the radio waves too. You don't have to be on their network to get the update, just online with an internet connection.
[Moto X Q&A] Garageguy05:
Very interesting stuff - thanks all for the quick responses. I suspected it was possible, but wasn't sure.

Best,

GG
[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
You know come to think about it, I don't think you even need WiFi because I think you can get the OTA using Motorola Device Manager simply by connecting your phone to your PC if the Motorola Device Manager is installed on your PC.
[Moto X Q&A] mastarifla:
That would require your PC to either downloaded the file itself or your MDM software already coming with the latest OTA. However, in order to get the next firmware, you need to be connected to the internet.
[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
Everytime I plug my phone into my PC, the Motorola Device Manager starts and checks for updates. The Motorola site says it will update your Android version, but yes, your PC must be connected to the Internet for that to happen because the MDM checks for the updates via the Internet connection.

How Do I Update the Software on My Phone or Tablet Using a USB Cable

I actually don't like this feature and stop it from doing it because I don't want it to update my phone. But I already have a driver problem and don't want to uninstall the MDM and make it worse potentially.
[Moto X Q&A] Garageguy05:
Finished up this evening. Can confirm the OTA will be delivered via wifi.

Thank you in advance if you can help with this, unfortunately I'm not going to be able to follow through with this very well at the moment. If this gets no attention I'll bump it when I can follow through. :)

I want to mount a smb/cifs share from my router to my Nexus 5.

I can successfully mount the share and view it in terminal but none of it shows up in any apps...and that's pretty much my issue.

Here's some unimportant info, and a little info about me, I'm as scatterbrained as they come. The reason I want to do this is to stream my movies on the "NAS" to my Chromecast through Allcast or something.

As of now I'm using an entware mini dlna package on the router to stream everything to Avia. My problem is dlna broadcasts all my media to my entire network...no password required or anything. Also accessing my files through Avia is a pain in the ass, navigating through the folders repetitively gets exhausting.﻿

Here's what I've come up with so far:

I'm using hammerhead-faux123-010m kernel, and SlimRC3.

Then I tried OneClick Mount app:

From what I can tell from the app logcat, the app tries to move the debuggered file, create its own with a chosen command inside, start then stop it, and restart the original.

I might try to do this manually later, as in a month from now at the least. I'm pretty sure a certain someone is pissed off at me for not becoming one with the universe n all that jazz.

[HINT] How Stickmount (and others...) are working with Android 4.2

Debuggered script

Sincerely, Head is spinning
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3DSammy:
Sorry but as of android 4.4.2 CIFS at a device level (all accounts see the network shares) no longer works and no one has a solution. This includes rooted devices and custom Roms. Of course apps such as ES File Explorer can have network share accesses but not all apps can utilize that access. For example MX player can be invoked from an ES file folder by clicking on a video file but apps like PowerAmp cannot see those folders. Some apps include built in network share features but they have the same restrictions as I previously described.

Things all changed when Android included multiple accounts and security started to get tighter. Initially developers found ways around those measures but too my knowledge, with 4.4.2 no one has found a work around.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
One workaround is hijack a system process such as debuggerd (debugger daemon) which runs with higher than su permissions. This method still works but is awkward to exploit manually. Apps such as foldermount use this workaround but not for network mounting, but it shows that it is still possible.

I have a Raspberry Pi running OpenELEC for streaming my locally stored media. I use my Chromecast for streaming Netflix, Google Play media, etc.

I understand what you are trying to do, but a dedicated device works great for me.

That said, you might keep an eye on VLC to see if they start supporting casting to Chromecast. That would likely accomplish what you are asking.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sendan:
This is what I'm going to attempt next, from what I read it can be terribly inconsistent if not done through SSH, so that's a bummer. I just need to get more information on how to do it. Debuggered in general confuses me.

This is what I've been wanting to do with my old Galaxy Nexus. I have the HDMI adapter and everything but the screen is broke (the digitizer works), so I plug it into my TV and randomly hit the screen hoping to eventually connect my bluetooth mouse lol. No such luck. I wish I could just boot it into a custom build but that's never gonna happen. Unless OpenELEC works on android devices? Seems unlikely.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
debuggerd can be replaced with a shell script with the mount command in it and it will run at boot.

It's really messy. I found I had to put the original debuggerd back or the phone would lock up.
