I Can give it a try, i have both S Duos and S Duos 2.

I had bricked my phone trying to have kitkat on my S Duos 2. It has all D mode, Recovery, Boot(kernel), and whole firmware in one tar.md5 file so i recommend you if you or ANYONE uses S Duos 2, then please do not play with the stock firmware package. in S Duos, it has a fixed download mode so i have don't have to worry about bricking but in S Duos 2, the Download mode is according to firmware so be careful.

i will try to port Galaxy S ROM to either one of these device before May 2014...

Regards

If you're still wondering, no, you can't just install another phone's ROM and change the build.prop and install it to your phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaibhav Chauhan:
but this kitkat cyanogenmid is for ace 2x but working fine in s duos but without network
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amosthecoolboy:
modify !

But can try some modification and optimize build.prop to let the device works. but if you go off topic, you need a customized kernel.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaibhav Chauhan:
but porting rom is not only based on built.prop there are too many factors
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amosthecoolboy:
check

build.prop rely maximum to control the device if you are unable to get the right texts in build.prop your device may not work ( source: Experienced)

And about porting, i did not tell anything.

EDIT:For only familiar devices (same board/chipset)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amosthecoolboy:
and i am not telling to start for a clean source code, i just said to modify the current aosp build of kitkat to let the network works on S Duos, i am sorry if i hurted you

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xxcrashxx:
Long story short, I just picked up an AT&T HTC One X(Stock everything, S-on, not rooted) off ebay as a "fixer upper". The seller said the speaker and microphone wasn't working and included the parts. After changing them out, still no sound. I have also tried syncing my bluetooth headset and I don't get any sound through there, nor do headphones work, videos won't play. When I attempt to use voice search, the Google Search application crashes and doesn't give a chance to record anything.

I have tried doing a factory reset through the phone and through the bootloader, but the audio problem still exists. I think the phone had water damage, I need to clean up the board good first. Is there a chance that only the audio processor shorted out? Does anyone know where this chip is located?

Firmware version 3.18, running 4.1.1
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xxcrashxx:
So I have given the board an ultrasonic bath in M.E.K and gave it 24 hours to fully evaporate. Put the phone back together, but the audio still doesn't work at all, even replaced the bottom mic/back speaker ribbon. And also usb doesn't work in the phone, or fastboot. The computer just see's an unknown usb device when it's connected. Device Manager shows an unknown usb device, and under hardware ID it just says USB\UNKNOWN.

Anyone have any ideas on anything I could try to fix the audio, or the USB problem??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pimpex.net:
Hello,

I wanted to warn you of this website: coolapk.com. Certain apk files contain "additional" parts. In this case it was a part of VLC (Video Lan Client). After downloading an apk file and installing, all seems to be normal and the desired software is running. Under applications there are only the programs you know about. But after close look, you will find a hidden additional application under Settings/Apps/Show All at the bottom behind letter Z if showing within alphabetical order containing only chinese signs. It is already running, you can not deinstall it only force stop and deactivate is possible. The file size is shown as 4KB. After uninstalling the original app this still is keeped in your system. During the installation there was absolutely no sign of additional software attached. This device is not rooted and has OEM ROM. The machine I was using is Motorola (Enterprise Solutions) TC55 PN TC55BH-JC11ES, Android 4.1.2 Build 131013-SI-1800EN-01.45-15443J-4.1.2-user. I downloaded the apk files 24.02.2014 and the chinese software contains a following timestamp in the properties: 20131013.224458. This app has following rights granted: personal information (read all words attached to the dictionary, read contacts) and network communication (full network access). Attached is the screenshot of above mentioned hidden software (only app-info), perhaps a friendly user can help translate and tell what is it, because it's behaviour as far is not really trustworthy for me.

Contact me for additional questions (enterprise class units only).

regards + stay clean

thanks for the advice :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elanguescence:
I have that software on my TC55 as well. Oandbackup identifies it as com.android.inputmethod.pinyin, in other words the Chinese input from the AOSP, and the Chinese symbols in its name match the ones of the selectable alternative Chinese input under the "Language & input" settings. I have not installed anything from coolapk.com, only from F-Droid and Amazon. Are you sure this software came with VLC and was not there before? It might just be standard with the TC55.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny grep:
I have that app installed on a Cisco Cius (Froyo!) as well, and am unable to uninstall it. I'd be surprised if this was malware.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bishal Pranto Roy:
Seriously??

I'll Keep It In Mind And Try Not To Let Chinese Have All My Data
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e154037:
The app name in chinese means "Google's method to input chinese character by spelling". It is bad for sure to install an additional app in secret. But this input method app sounds innocent. In addition, how can you be so sure that the app sneaked in with VLC from coolapk?

On my TF101, I have a number of apks from coolapk. As far as I am concerted, It is good so far with coolapk, I have not found anything wrong yet.

Hi,

I see the Knock Code feature working on a Flex in this video: w ww.lowyat.net/tag/lg-g-flex-knock-code-demo When I went to activate it in my Flex F340K Korean version, this feature is missing. Anybody knows how can I activate it?, maybe in a hidden menu or something?.

Thank you!.

[LG G Flex] ethan80:
Sorry but I still not found the option, I don't wNt to activate the double tap for lock and unlock the screen. I'm searching for knock code unlock, with this option you must push the screen in some zone like a pattern to unlock. As seen in the video linked in my first post.

Maybe is a future option that will be included in a firmware update?.
[LG G Flex] avetny:
WTF !! we don't have that man...but looks very cool
[LG G Flex] ethan80:
After research about knock Code the video appears to be a preview of a next comming enhacement, the knock code feature is available now in G2 mini and will be added with a firmware update in some models like Flex,G2,G2 pro.... No ETA yet.

Appears to be a very cool option.
[LG G Flex] funziebear:
Does this mean this phone is always awake ? Could we see features like on the moto on this where google is always up ?(ok google)
[LG G Flex] ethan80:
I think that phone will be locked but when you lock your phone with a pattern or code you must activate the screen and then insert the code or pattern to unlock. with Knock code you will insert a push pattern with the screen off and will activate screen and unlock phone in a single step.

Some ROMs from other devices type can work on this phone.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] reubenskelly1992:
So I was in currys today comparing my black 16 gb samsung note with there white version, I put both on the same screen mode and full brightness, and put both on the same settings page, there white one had much better whites and a but nicer and mine looked more yellowish and not so white, considering trading it for a white one, but is mine faulty or could it be the black bezel and agains the whites on the screen makes it look warmer, any ideas??
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] trimalchioinwestegg:
Sounds like a coincidence concerning normal LCD screen variance that you're attributing to what you can see without that knowledge. The truth is that the only difference is the plastic color. The components are identical, though through the manufacturing process LCD screens are more sensitive to variation than other things. I've had several iPads of the same color and generation side by side and the screens all vary in terms of yellowing, light bleed, dead pixels, et cetera.

My Note 10.1 has more yellowing on one side than the other, and when the screen is black I can see light bleeding along the edges. On my iPad Air I have the same exact yellowing problem. Hell, on my iMac I can see it on a pure white screen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
Agreed. Screens are produced at one plant, probably multiples, and shipped to wherever final assembly is. The different color devices are all made on the same assembly lines with the only difference between them being the small subset of colored components. Now if someone said certain batches of either color had screens that were "off" that would make sense because if a screen manufacturing plant put out a bad run an entire sequence of devices would be affected. Hitting production tolerances on a 10" 299 PPI display is dramatically harder than the old 147 PPI display. I'd bet yields are probably in the 90% range with the balance ending up in the garbage.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] reubenskelly1992:
There has been known for over yellow screen, I haven't noticed mine being yellower on one side though, I do have light bleed, but I don't mind that as much, just I like good whites for reading etc
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] rushless:
Or, the ambient contrast of the white bezel gave the impression.

if you cant enter download mode with button pressing you will need to buy a usb jig from amazon for around £3 (english pounds)

What exactly is the "Odin ML2?" Is that the leaked version that we already have root for? The one we don't have root for is the OTA version, which has nothing to do with Odin. Yet another pointless thread.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tmease1:
The ota is ML2. He is on the right track. Good work op.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
First off there's no need to be a ****. You are correct that we don't have root for ML2, or the OTA version as you refer to it. The point of this thread is to figure out a way to get root which I think everybody would appreciate, so no need to give the guy grief.

Secondly, while most people received the update to ML2 as an OTA, there were 2 users here who were able to find and post complete Odin packages for ML2 (see this thread and this one), so yes, this thread has everything to do with Odin and rooting ML2. There are summaries of all the official AT&T firmwares in this thread with links to most of the important stuff. Please at least do a search before invalidating somebody who is trying to help the community.

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

Thanks for taking the lead on trying to figure out root, I think a good starting point might be a list of all the root methods that others have tried and failed so we don't get people duplicating work that we already know doesn't work. I'll take a crack at putting that list together this weekend. It's nice to have a dev working with the i537.
