[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RCALL:
After spending a few months understanding the basics of android development, and writing basic code, I have been using my Nexus' 4 & 7( 2013) to practice on. I used System Tuner a while back for tweaking and monitoring, however recently I installed Android Tuner, and a new version was just released (1.0RC4). It helps to use just one app when going back and forth from Android SDK on my ASUS Laptop, to my android devices. It seems I am slowly replacing the numerous apps I had been using in favor of AT, as it has everything I need under one roof. I was a little intimidated by the GUI of the earlier versions, including System Tuner. However this app has become invaluable to me as any modifications I make to either device may be implemented and monitored using just one app.

I would be interested to hear what other android enthusiasts are doing with AT, as far as tweaks and monitoring go?

Hi,

Phone is Xperia Arc S

Rooted

No unlocked bootloader

No custom ROM

Now if I do Factory Reset, what will happen?

1) Any horrible thing eg. bricking / malfunctioning / corrupted firmware

2) Clean factory reset + Rooted device

3) Clean factory reset + Unrooted device

Please suggest.

Warm Regards,

Maria.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maria2014:
Thanks for your reply.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scayris:
A factory reset, as far as I know, only erases Data and Cache partitions. It leaves your System partition alone, as well as all your files stored on SD card (re-formatting it gets rid of those).

Your phone will still be rooted afterwards, but reset to its original state app-wise.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einsteindks:
I am currently very happy, and rooted on 4.4. I have modified the system, but have a backup of the stock configuration. When the update finally gets pushed, barring any root solutions, could I simply flash the updated items onto 4.4, once isolated? Might there be any problems if they also changed the bootloader?

Might want to read through this thread on the Moto X forum: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/4-4-2-vzw-t2656843/page29 Looks like root survives the update but write protection does not. You can keep the 4.4 bootloader I think. You would need to have stock recovery, and everything else put back to stock as well, i.e. enable disabled apps, Xposed disabled.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einsteindks:
Ok, so it looks like I do nothing with root? Maybe I should opt for 'survival mode' in superuser just in case? I think I'll leave the sound file change as-is, in case my WPnoMor doesn't survive. Hey, without WP off, doesn't that mean I can't put safestrap recovery back on after the update?

I feel disappointed to know the HTC ONE has won the best smartphone for the year 2013? How? why? and more-over LG won the most innovative brand of the year! Com'on this shouldn't be true!

Don't you think this is unfair to Galaxy S4 and Note 3 users out there???? They were the 2 best smartphones of 2013!

Please express your opinions!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
HTC One is arguably a better/more innovative phone than the S4; headphone amp, ultra pixel camera, blink feed, stereo speakers, etc. The S4 just has a smaller bezel, exchangeable battery and microSD slot. Cannot say much about the Note 3 as I don't own one, but I doubt there were that many changes compared to the Note 2.
[Galaxy S 4 General] testadeferro:
That´s no surprise... The HTC is more or less acclaimed generally by everyone. For me as a s4 user the only thing that feels better then the one is the bigger screen and sd slot, on the other hand, the HTC beats the s4 fast everywhere like quality construction, sound, design and also camera. That´s no scandal.

LG wise the G2 is a great device with awesome battery times (more then N3) and also they came out with great features and build quality. I don´t see any scandal in that.

[Droid Ultra General] GnatGoSplat:
You could kind of use it, with a USB stick. These phones support USB OTG and with StickMount, can mount USB as additional storage.

I can envision a USB MicroSD reader that is barely any thicker than a MicroSD card, sticks to the back of the phone, and has a flat flex cable that goes to a flush USB plug. Something kind of like what they do with those universal wireless stick-on charger receivers.
[Droid Ultra General] BladeRunner:

[Xperia Z1 General] aznrogerazn:
Since there's no thread about fixing this here in Z1's forum, I'd make one with possible fix on the crazy touch screen problem.

As far as I know, this is a firmware-related problem, and can be fixed by tweaking down the touch screen sensitivity. You'll need

to be rooted to use this modification. Always remember, try at your own risk, and don't forget to hit thanks button if I helped!!

HOWTO:

1. Take a backup with CWM or TWRP.

2. Use any root explorer that you like, and navigate to /system/usr/idc/.

3. Copy the file "clearpad.idc" to somewhere else, like the SDcard storage for editing.

4. Open up the file with Jota+ or the text editor of your choice, and find the line "touch.filter.level". By default it would be 2, but

here I would suggest a value of either 5 or 6 for lowered sensitivity.

touch.filter.level=6

5.Save the file and then mount /system as writable.

mount -o remount,rw /system /system

6. Paste the modified clearpad.idc back to /system/usr/idc/ and set correct permissions.

cp clearpad.idc /system/usr/idc/ && chmod 644 /system/usr/idc/clearpad.idc

7. Remount /system as read-only and reboot.

mount -o remount,ro /system /system && reboot

Well, this worked for me, and as I know there are lots of people out there irritated by this problem, this should provide a proper

method for restoring the functionality for their Z1's. Now a greasy screen and slight moisture would not upset the touch screen unlike before.

p.s. I'm on NUT's .290 with C6903. This should also work for other models and Android versions.

I assume not.

As in Korea's case, every variant's kernel is compatible with others.

Also, i9506's firmware is also compatible with e330.

I think 4.4 KitKat's bootloader for i9506 may be just enough :)

I think, you are wrong. I'm using bootloader from 4.2.2 (without knox), compiled kernel from CNA7 sources (4.4) and successfully booted TW4.4 ROM. I didn't test much because i did it right before my vacation trip (so, i've rolled back to 4.3 till return from vacation), but everything looked like working.

Make sure all TIMA/LKM AUTH features are disabled in compiled kernel, because it may prevent boot.

[Galaxy S 4 General] arter97:
(Korean carriers do support it "technically" but it does not on AOSP era.)

So it should change to HSPA or else from LTE right?

Currently, it doesn't. LTE stays LTE and there are no incoming calls notified to users.

However, H+ stays H+, so, when user was on H+ before call was incoming, user can answer those calls.

We need to figure out how CM to change LTE to HSPA(or else) when call is incoming.

I check this thread servel times a day... I have had enough of Touchwiz.....

Actually, it will not be a "problem" for me that receiving calls via LTE doesn't work because there are no available FDD-LTE networks here in my country now.....

Anyway, look forward to seeing the final relase soon :)

BTW my device is SHV-E330S
[Galaxy S 4 General] arter97:
Thanks for waiting patiently :)

What do you mean by "FDD-LTE"?

Dunno anything about FDD..
[Galaxy S 4 General] finnince:
That's a kind of LTE working mode. FDD-LTE (Frequency Division Duplexing). The other one is TDD-LTE (Time Division Duplexing), which has been put into commercial use in my country but E330S doesn't support. All the operators haven't got FDD running license yet. So it will be months before I can enjoy a higher speed... :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] arter97:
I'm not sure why that's not related with this CM issue..

So you're saying you are using HSPA(3G) with your E330S?

If your using 4G(LTE or LTE-A or LTE-plus), you will have this incoming-call issue.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jyOoooh:
for e330s, the available network modes in China are GSM,WCDMA,hspa,hspa+,LTE(fdd)(China Unicorn/telecom),but the LTE mode is not commercially available.

so the main network mode in China is hspa

Hi, Im looking for the way to get a real quality sound of the iPhones , Galaxy s with voodoo audio, Galaxy s2 and s3 with siyah kernel (voodoo audio).

I have been testing a lot of mods to get more output level ,editing a file from Android system folder. Now i have louder sound,

but the real problem of the sound output, its a kernel problema.

I found some comunities specialized with sound quality portable devices, and all say the same; the s4 (all models) its a great phone but a **** player ...

they said that the sound have a problem mainly with the low band frequencies., impedance problems,

at practical purposes, you can hear that the audio is not enough `"powerfull" .

Try to listen carefully one of your favorite songs, with your S4 and your Mac, or your pc... (with a good headphones), the sound of the kicks will be less stronger, with less punch...

some people say that the s4 have a great amplifier, but its controlled with a bad software, who manage the sound digitally when should be analogically.

I think that the only way to fix this audio quality is editing the kernel.

i dont know what parameters use the user "Super Mercurio" to create Voodoo Audio, but... it Works and the audio of the S, S2 and S3 Works correctly with it like an iPhone (iPhone,because i dont know why but allways have a great balance between software and hardware).

Siyah Kernel Works good in the s3 model with audio because include Voodoo Audio too. And Siyah is developed by the user Gokhanmoral.

Im trying the imposible to fix this problem but i dont know really what to do...

Do you think that could be something to do , to fix this audio problem with CM (or editing the stock kernel)??

[Galaxy S 4 General] arter97:

[Galaxy S 4 General] sorg:
my S4 LTE-A is SHV-E330S. I don't have I9506. You need to compile kernel with I9506 config. In this case it will work for both E330S and I9506. At least 4.2 and 4.3 kernels compiled from i9506 source with i9506 config were worked on my E330S. The only problem - there is no i9506 4.4.2 kernel source yet.

You may "play" with TDMB config and its GPIO - probably TDMB driver and GPIO prevent E330S config from work on I9506.
[Galaxy S 4 General] arter97:
The problem is.. i9506 configs are missing with e330(and n900) KitKat source :(

So I've figured, in JB bootloaders, i9506 and e330s kernels are compatible, so properly making kernel for JB e330s will solve my problem :)
