Well, finally got my Z and i'm happy with it, really, 101 rooted, LB. But i'm a little confused about the charging time, it's around 3,5 - 4 hours with the standard charger. Isn't it too long? My S3 Mini needs only about 45 mins. Is it normal? How about your charging times with 1 - 3 % left?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seddiko:
If u use the standard charger with other cable you will suffer this Use the factory provided cable to ensure the best power flow

Thank u for the work you did on the first version and I look forward to your input on this next one! Unfortunately I'm having some issues with dev-host right now. I have uploaded the file 3 times and it will finish 100% then dissappear, no where to be found. Going to keep trying.

Beta v2 read for play!!

Now remember this is still in Beta for the S3. Make a NANDROID BACKUP just in case!!! I did get a brief 5 minute test with a friends S3. It was running an older version Android 4.1.1 I believe. I only was able to get one flash in and had about 90% success rate with the options I picked. The main miss for me was still the dialer options? It could be the older OS or I'm just missing something? But I am pleased with most of that initial test. The boot Animations do work, but in the transfer somewhere I mixed up the files. So the boot animations that play are not really named correctly, minor issue. I think that some of the signalbars may or may not play. I picked Teal and it worked fine. Let me know people and let's make this thing BIG

THANK YOU in advance for all the people willing to test and give me feedback
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Genesius01:
VERY nice, Stang! Nothing on the dialer, as you said. No changes on the pulldown bar, toggles, battery, or signal icons. If the Blur transition animation does anything I'm missing it - could just be subtle and I'm expecting something flashy.

Is your friend's S3 on TW? Maybe AOSP doesn't like some of these changes.

---------- Post added at 04:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 AM ----------

Also, nothing on settings and pulldown backgrounds.

Stangdriver44, I used your mod on the s2, and I will definitely down load later today, nice to see you working the s3:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stangdriver44:
OK, so for now the best results are definitely going to be with Touch Wiz roms. I had a few more minutes with my buddies phone running older JB 4.1.2 and I had great success! Acid Blue Dialer BG worked for what I could see. The signal bar Teal and FtW worked fine. All the data arrows and icons worked. Base themes and pretty much anything frameworks worked. Sliders, toggles, and lock screen mods didn't stuck. Boot and shut down ani's both worked. What is it that people are running, TW, that needs to be compatible? Is pretty much the majority running 4.3 now? I am trying to get this going for you guys. Haven't heard to much from anyone accept genesius01,Thank you BTW. Tell me what Roms you guys are running or better yet, supply me with systemUI.apk, SecPhone.apk, SecContact, SecSettings, SecMMS, and framework-res.apk's and I can make a "Flashback" zip file for tthat fresh start of just in case something doesn't go right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stangdriver44:
No interest here?

It doesn't take much to keep me going, but it does take something? I know that this isn't 100%, but am sure it is 90% there! Just a little feedback and this adds literally hundreds of new theme options to this community.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilovecats:
I'm currently debating between a LG G2 and a Nexus 5, and leaning toward the Nexus 5 because I really want the stock Android experience. But I absolutely love the Knockon feature on the G2. Some quick search shows that Nexus 5 has this implemented via custom kernels. My question is if this implementation is just as good that of the G2 (i.el, consistent, no buggy behavior, no heavy battery drain), and if it can be done by flashing just a kernel or mod (leaving the base Google Android intact. Kind of tired of messing with tons of custom ROM's. Want the stock one and sticking to it.)

Your advice will be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
The knock knock feature requires the digitizer to stay on so yes, there will be some battery drain but I think some users report like 2% in an hour which is perfectly acceptable to me. I used knock for a while on the Chaos Kernel when it was not CAF based and it worked just as it should. I am sure things have only improved in the latest kernels. There is a dev that adds the double tap to wake/ sleep to some of the most popular kernels such as Franco and elementalx.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Hello,

Well, first of all you ask such a question in the Nexus 5 forum?! Obviously people are going to tell you to buy the Nexus! Knockon/dt2w features has been implemented on N5 by our awesome devs but people have reported that they are suffering from battery drain!

It really comes down to your choice basically. Yes, the G2 might have a bigger battery but the N5 will have long time support from Google (since it's a nexus) and from our devs off course! That's the reason why all of us fell in love with the Nexus 5! :cowboy:

Some months ago I was wondering almost the same thing, between the Nexus 5 and Motorola X. Finally I decided to buy the Nexus 5 (primarily because its price) but the point here is that now I have 3 months with it, and I can tell you I'm very happy with it.

It depends on your preferences, I like the stock android experience and the huge developer support for the Nexus rather than a phone full of features, sometimes unnecessary features. And with XDA and some time you can have a Nexus full of features too. :D

Hard to find what I would call genuine info' about virus protection on the web. Does anyone have any tips, or info' about using virus/malware protection ? Recommendations? Or are the not worth installing as they can hog resources?

I used to use dr web lite, I liked it. Though I think I still got malware with it. Now I am trying avast, seem's ok, though kinda' clunky..

Hi guys

How to remove the number that shows how many massages we have exchanged with every contact? It is really anoying... I don't want people to see how many messages I have made with evry person.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fermin:
Hello there

Ever since I changed the storage of my emails to the storage card, I have the problem that the device creates a folder called "Storage Card" when I perform a soft reset. The actual storage card is then mounted as "Storage Card 2". This has the effect that not only my email bodies are not saved to the storage card, but also that software installed on the card can't be run. I have to start Resco Explorer, remove the storage card, delete the "Storage Card" folder and insert the storage card.

It seems that the storage card driver isn't loaded until later, when the system already created \Storage Card\Messaging\... folder structure.

Is there any way to have the sd card driver load earlier, or any other solution? thx.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fermin:
No solution?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Kassad:
I have had the same problem. I have only seem the problem from time to time, havent figured out what triggered it..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] chtan:
Try not to set the PIE temp. file to storage card and email attachment to storage card. Because during reboot the system can't see the SD yet, so it will create a storage card from existing rom, and this will cause your subsequently detected SD to be mounted as storage card2.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fermin:
Yes, I realize that this is the problem. I'm therefore looking for a solution to either prevent Outlook/ActiveSync from creating those folders, or else tell the system to mount the storage card a bit earlier...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] daryl425:
also

setting all the temp/cache dirs for built-in MS Win apps (like Word and PIE) on a storage card is a bad idea, from my experience, as the Universal unmounts the SD cards on power down. this causes many of the built-in Win apps to crash when powered back on, with PIE bringing down your entire phone if it can't find the cache dirs. I don't know about you, but I like my Universal to behave more like a stable phone, and not a Win PC. Installing code on the card also seems to be a bad idea, as this problem also causes apps to crash. setting cache and other volatile information to the storage card for 3rd party apps seems to be ok so far. Maybe because they're not privelaged to being integrated with the OS like built-in Win apps.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] e55e:
Hi there... I have had your same prob... I got rid of it simply disabling the "messages" today plug in, and it worked... ;)

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubasteve85:
I've looked all over but am unable to find an answer to this.

I hadn't used my Nook Color in a while mainly because I was having a recovery bootloop and hadn't had time to research what was going on and correct it. I finally had some time last night and fixed that using leapinlar's excellent thread installing CWM 5.5.0.4 to my sdcard and installing CWM 6.1.0.2 to the alt partition on EMMC.

I decided to update to the latest stable CM, which looks to be 10.2. I downloaded the rom from that thread and the gapps 20130813 package in that thread. I have no issues installing the rom but the gapps package will not install. Every time it gives me the message:

E:Can't open /sdcard/roms/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

I thought maybe the download was bad and tried the PA gapps package for 4.3 but that did the exact same thing. To make sure I covered every single thing, I did the partition repair steps linked from leapinlar's thread. That ran fine. I was able to reinstall the rom but no dice on the gapps.

Anybody got any ideas on what's going wrong?

Thanks,
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Usually that message does mean a bad download. Definitely redownload.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubasteve85:
I forgot to add that I did redownload a few times as well as trying other gapps packages for 4.3 with the same result. It does strike me though that I don't believe I checked the md5 so I'll try that.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Be sure to download directly from the Nook. Sometimes files get corrupted in the transfer from PC.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubasteve85:
It appears there's an issue with downloading files directly on the Nook. I noticed every file I've downloaded through it was 0 b. All of them showed successful downloading and didn't have suspect download times so I'm not sure what happened.

Something's wrong with my USB Port.

since about 1 week I installed new Custom ROM, so, from KOT49 to KVT49.

Sometimes it charges normally, sometimes I need to SHUTDOWN device so it charges normally again.

USB connection(USB DEBUGGING or Normal) it constantly connects and disconnects from PC.

What I just noticed is that when N% is connected to PC, kinda pull down Status/notification bar is laggy or it's not responsive.

Is it may usb port faulty?

On FASTBOOT MODE it doesn't disconnect at all, so, don't know if it's USB PORT related :confused:

Hi,

I've got a hard bricked Galaxy S3 LTE (i9305). I got it with a message, that a software update failed and that I should connect to Kies, to fix this issue. I've tried that multiple times, but it never worked and Kies cancelled the repair every time. After that I tried to flash a stock image with Odin. The phone turned of to reboot, but never started again.

Now the phone isn't turning on at all and isn't recognized on my comouter via USB.

I've read that there is the possibility of restoring the bootloader from an sdcard on other models. Does this method work on LTE models too? If yes, where can I find a image for the sdcard?

Hi guys!! I have a question, is it safe to use Xposed framework without using custom recoveries?

I know everywhere they say its safe to make a backup with recoveries but i want to refrain from doing that as I am going to take the OTAs when available in my country (Obviously will uninstall the Xposed framework before OTA (Hoping this will work - any insight on this too is appreciated)).

I am not into changing ROMS and use stock ROM only but want to use Xposed for its great customizations (Modules interested in G2 Xposed/Tweakbox/Gravity Box).

Did anyone ever had a problem using Xposed / Any experiences to share where Xposed messed up the phone completely/partially and had to recover using TWRP or CWM?

Or is it just a "Safe step" to install recoveries and back it up before using xposed?

I can launch the Play Store, but when I attempt to download an app (or update), it crashes (Unfortunately, Play Store has stopped)

I did some noodling around on various forums here and have tried:

wiping data/cache on Store, Download Manager, and Services

uninstalling Store, uninstalling Play Services, and sideloading them both (Store and Services).

removing and re-adding my google account, even trying to download an app with a different acct crashed it.

converting Play Store to a system app in TiBu, no dice.

4.4 Rooted

Play Store v: 4.5.10

Play Services v:4.2.43

I was going to uninstall the store and look for the apk for the previous version and attempt to install that to see if it'll work..
