[Xperia Z2 General] combatmedic870:
I wasn't meaning to start a convo about that.. But just needed to point out that not everything is locked down... lol

A dev edition isn't needed with an unlock able bootloader.

Also flashing an aosp rom on a note is a crime on its own.

I can only say that about the note though. Everything else, aosp it up!

Now...we just need someone that has the device to let us know if this is locked down or not. For me it's this or the new htc one. Both have SD card slots...so that makes it even harder now!!

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

Yep, but t mobile isn't all that known to lock stuff down. So it sucks. I hope the X2 doesn't meet the same fate.
[Xperia Z2 General] pedyvirus:
im not sure about xperia z2 but most of sony phones and all the flagships can be get unlocked bootloader (unless they have network lock. this phones cant be unlocked using official method)
[Xperia Z2 General] Xajel:
For Sony Xperia this is how it was.. I don't know if Sony changed anything with these 2014 devices...

1) Backup the TA partition

2) Unlock the bootloader

3) have fun

If you want to get it back

1) install stock kernel and rom

2) restore the TA partition ( this will lock the bootloader as well )

3) have fun

The TA partition includes the DRM keys and some other secured stuff, If you unlock the bootloader without backing up the TA partition, your DRM keys will be lost forever, NEVER EVER try to use any other device TA partition backup or your device will be hard bricked even if both were the exact same model...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Amb669:
hey guys, i've been looking for ages but can't find what i'm looking for, was wondering if anyone knows where i could find a mod, to replace the touchwiz home screen's carousel effect with the new s5/old icecream sandwich "card stack?" effect without using another launcher, i'm looking for a flashable zip or a xposed framwork module that can be used on touchwiz, sumthin like this must surely exist?

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] electricpete1:
Wanam offers three minor tweaks to TW launcher (among many other valuable phone tweaks):

1 – infinite scrolling on/off

2 – wall paper scroll with pages on/off

3 – dock icon labels on/off

I’m not so sure. Using Xposed to tweak the stock launcher seems like unnecessary overkill (considering the huge doorway into your phone's security that you give to every dev who's module you install). People who want to customize launchers generally go with alternate launcher. Then you don't even have to reboot to try out changes (like Xposed would have to). Nova would be my recommendation. I know it’s not the recommendation you’re looking for but you got it anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Amb669:
this is exactly what i figured, i found those options in exposed but not quite what i'm lookin for.

i used nova launcher on my s3 for a year and loved it, i just want to keep my high def lookin stock touchwiz icons since the nova launcher icons look like they belong in the 90's, i seen a stock touchwiz icon looking pack for nova launcher but they didn't have that "high def" look/feel to them (no shadows/reflections? or bad shading? on the icons, i dunno they just look bland compared to stock icons where they feel kinda 3d)

the reason i don't wanna use nova launcher is because if i do use nova launcher and go back to that stock android feeling i midaswell be on stock android itself, GPE or Cyanogenmod and it feels to bland which is why i'm on a touchwiz based rom.

i'm just kinda hopeing someone will come along with an idea of how i can impliment this without removing touchwiz launcher, ORRR maby get the real stock touchwiz icons (the acual stock ones, not just look alikes) into nova launcher.
[Moto X Q&A] EwanG:
Per the subject line I have a Moto X I bought from Republic Wireless. Have since left RW, and have rooted the phone and installed SafeStrap. I have a slot ready to load a KitKat ROM, but it isn't clear which (if any) of them will run with this setup. I thought I saw that someone had done this with one of the TMobile ROMs, but can't seem to find the discussion.

Anyone who's done something similar who can point the way?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegethir:
Starting two days back, my Z1 receives incoming calls on external speakers instead of internal, so every incoming call starts that way. I need to manually put the call in internal speaker mode.

Unrooted, 4.3, the .290 build.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegios:
Same here, seems the priblem is latest Sony Sociallife update.

Try the following: clear cache and data, uninstall updates, deactivate app, restart. Let me know.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegethir:
Well, what I did was have someone call me, and call answering was sent to external speaker as usual. During the conversation, I plugged in the headphones and call went to headphones, and then, during the call, I removed them.

After that, I had another three incoming calls, and everything went back to normal, calls were directed to internal audio, not external.

I did that, because I remember that two days ago I was using Walkman app, headphones on, and phone rang. Answered the call from phone's dialler app, and all was fine. And since then, it all started with calls to external, like the phone did not "remember" that headphones were removed.

But that is just my guess, since it seems this plugging/unplugging headphones now fixed it. But you also might be right, since it's two days ago that I've updated Socialife app indeed.

I will keep monitoring incoming calls' behavior, and if it reverts back to external, I will unistall updates, and clear cache etc.

Oh, and before doing the headphones trick, just plain restarting the phone didn't work.

Let me know if you can pinpoint more exactly the cause of all this.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chunlianghere:
u place your phone on a flat surface? if its so, than the phone is helping u to use external speaker since u r not not bringing up the phone to your ear.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lancerz:
This just started happening to me to, was going to post about it. Going to try some of your suggestions.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegethir:
No, phone is not on a flat surface, it is happening even when I put it to my ear, the call stays on external speaker, and I have to tap the on-screen button to direct it to internal speaker.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegethir:
In my case it seems that the headphones trick did the job (so far), but if it will persist, I will take a closer look at the Socialife app as well.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avantiel:
Happening here with me as well. Can anyone confirm if it's socialife?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cippi21:
I can confirm is not haha....I have the app disabled since I got the phone never used it so don't think it's that
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paullu:

But not all the time
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cippi21:
The headphones trick worked let's hope that it will stay like that now
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegethir:
Well, this morning I took a call, and again, on external speaker...

I uninstalled Socialife updates, see how it goes from there.

I don’t have the slightest idea why this started to happen..

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahzaib.khan:
I am facing the same problem in 257. n i remember that few days ago i received the call through headphones.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cippi21:
Maybe if we clear data and cache from the phone app fixes the problem?...my problem is gone after doing the headphone trick so can anyone else try it or did anyone tried it already?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegethir:
I did the headphone trick, but it didn't work for long, after three or four calls, it reverted back to external speaker.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kondziu2000:
Hello.

I tried:

Disable Sony social l./uninstall updates.

Phone cache clear.

Software repair via Sony pc compaion.

Problem not solved.

Always after phone restart, first incomming call goes to L.speaker.

So Today i tried to uninstall latest Google chrome update(28.02.2014).

After phone restart first incomming is ok- loudspeaker is disabled!

So maybe its a Google chrome problem?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiD3991:
I originally had a 150GB VHDD ready but now I just hit a storage crisis, is 100GB enough?

Also the 150GB VHDD is slightly buggish... Might need to reinstall it.

For building kernels only. is 100GB enough?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yeah totally. I would feel confident downloading CM 11 (ROM, Kernel and CWM recovery) on half of that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiD3991:
Thanks for the swift reply, its just because quite some time ago I heard you need like a few hundred to build a ROM and more if you want to build from several sources.

Thanks again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I can't remember the exact sizes as I broke my CM 11 repo yesterday so 'its currently doing a repo sync right now. I use a 240GB SSD so I know the concerns of space when building.

I have both the AOSP and CM 11 repo sync'd to my SSD. The AOSP repo is just under 22 GB. I would always make sure I have double the space the repo takes to build into as the out directory can get quite big, but it wouldn't surpass it. I doubt it would pass 10 GB for a full AOSP ROM but to be fair, I haven't counted the space since Gingerbread so don't quote me on that :)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] pearlheartgtr:
I have an XT912 flashed to PagePlus. I want to update it to .165 but it's not letting me.

First, the OTA nags stopped the second I connected to PP so I found an update zip to manually flash it over at Droidrazr.com. From Howardforums, people said they were able to do the OTA by reverting a setting in the buildprop that was changed during the flashing and temp unrooted with Voodoo. Then just put everything back when it was done.

I went into recovery and attempted to flash it. There were errors about Acousticwarning.apk. After some reading, it seems there was a conflict that the update couldn't find the bloatware that I removed. One thread said to copy/paste the apks from the system/app file in the stock rom elsewhere to my phone (I took them from the stock rom in Matt's utility). Didn't work. So, I used Matt's utility to flash stock (without data wipe) and tried again. No dice. The phone started downloading the OTA and then aborted the install. Twice. During all of this, I had lost the settings for the PP flash. I reflashed for PP and got everything working, but I still can't get the .165 update to install.

Any ideas?

I am having trouble with Sky Go tablet on my device, when I try and watch Sky go on my Tablet I get the Sky Go is not supported on rooted android devices message.

I have googled this and tried various solutions all to no avail.

I downloaded the supersu app as per skys recommendation. Did a full unroot, This did not work. It hid the root. When I downloaded Root checker all I got was a Sorry this device does not have proper root access. After a day or so messing around and trying different things I got the root access back

.Congratulations this device has root access Is the mesage when I ran root checker

Is it possible to unroot this device? If so how?

I can watch BT sports without an issue on the tablet,

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathanp:
old post I know but are you still having this issue?

Sky go checks for the su binary and a supersu app. Once both of these are removed force close sky go and reopen, it should work then.

Its fair to say that the Android 4.4 Stock Gallery is literary useless. CM Gallery Next is a fair choice. Quickpic is great but looks bland. But I still need a gallery app with Quickpics performance with much more simple intuitive user interface which has the editing functions of Stock Gallery. Not a photo editing app like Snapseed or Pixler but an app which has everything. A simple looking, eye catching user interface with more performance.

If there are any apps,please mention them..
[Android Apps and Games] BoeingDude777:
Motorola Gallery....

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.MotGallery2

It's a nicely themed version of the stock gallery. includes all editing features and whatnot as they are identical except for appearance.

To get it just search for an apk or zip and flash.

Is it impossible to downgrade rooted phone from 4.4.2??

I'm also stuck into that. My i9506 is running the latest 4.4.2 samsung stock rom, and it is ROOTED (very hard to root btw).

But now, I really need to downgrade it to 4.2.2 stock rom, and I just CANT!! :crying: When trying to flash the 4.2.2 official rom with odin, I receive the following message: SW REV CHECK FAIL: [aboot]Fused > 1 Binary 0

I've been searching day after day, hours after hours, staying the whole day in front of the computer to find a solution to downgrade this phone!!!

How to get rid of this KNOX protection? OMFG??? I don't know where to go: whether I change kernel or bootloader or unroot it. Whatever! I just want it running 4.2.2, doesn't matter if it is stock or not. I simply don't know how to do that.

[Guide]Restore to Stock "Bricked" "Unlocked" LG Optimus G f180,E97x

The problem starts when you unlock F180 Bootloader with "freegee":

Unlock the bootloader:

There are 2 ways:

Method 1: Unlock the bootloader

http://www.mediafire.com/download/kzbp2gicuj22cv5/Tool_Root_Unlock_BL_4.1.2_edited.zip

Advantages:

- enough fastboot functions: Start, Power Off, Recovery mod, Restart Bootloader

- Easy on the function keys

-Cons:

- To Relock, just you have to flash KDZ

Method 2: Unlock by app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee_free&hl=en

Advantages:

- Add.

- Can be easily Relock by app.

Cons:

- Right to Recovery through app (on Stock Rom & 975).

- Loss of function fastboot that this very important function.

- When crashes, not able to Recovery by pressing hard.

It is recommended to use the first way. :angel:

on E975, E970, E97.x unlock, select KT or SKT. Because E975 and the S / K has Same bootloader unlock.

i have already faced this situation to unlock bootloader with freegee and stuck with google logo and fastboot mode :crying:

not even KDZ flash working, always result in fastboot or KDZ tool stop working. also tried different KDZ and flashing Tools

Tried "TeenyBin" ,not success :crying: but get twrp working, then flash CM10 as suggested but got this

Subsystem Crash!

------------------------------------------------------------

DemiGod Crash Handler : Subsystem Crash! : External_modem (Undefined error)

Press key to choose Dload Mode/Reboot/Fastboot.

1) Volume Up : Dload Mode.

2) Volume Down : Reboot.

3) Power : Fastboot.

------------------------------------------------------------

to solve this have to remove sim card and change baseband in TWRP using ADB

then perform a hardreset.

now the device comes in life again :)

but you find the device is not properly working may be sim or gprs or wifi or something else.

now have to unlock bootloader again by adb with this method

after that will able to flash the stock KDZ without any problem :)

put device in D/W mode and flash it with appropriate official KDZ

Guide to flash KDZ

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2388440

:good:

have to follow the procedure because adb in recovery not able to replace the bootloader files

KDZ flash After mako bootloader unlock

step 1:

use TeenyBin http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2249500

get twrp working, then flash CM10 for you device.

you will got this

Subsystem Crash!

------------------------------------------------------------

DemiGod Crash Handler : Subsystem Crash! : External_modem (Undefined error)

Press key to choose Dload Mode/Reboot/Fastboot.

1) Volume Up : Dload Mode.

2) Volume Down : Reboot.

3) Power : Fastboot.

------------------------------------------------------------

step 2:

to solve this have to remove sim card and change baseband in TWRP using ADB

then perform a hardreset.

to reflash the bootloader files you have to enter in CM10 or some ROM with SU or busybox;

now the device comes in life in CM10

UNLOCk steps:

enable USB debugging

connect as MTP

follow the steps in script :)

thx for post my friend i have e975 i use freege and mako unlock .I used the first two months trouble-ROM but i have Subsystem crash error.... (external modem ) and i back to stock kdz but no root +bootloader unlocked i use my rom but I found something new :D

----------------------------------------------------

This problem can easily be solved, I spent 20+ hours on researching this, it's not an operator problem, but a common problem with both the Optimus G and the Nexus 4.

What causes it? Extreme low power states of the processor, some modems are too sensitive for this kind of deeeeeeep sleep (depending on production batch). These states are called C0 (WiFi) until C3 (complete power collapse).

Disable C2 and C3 and enable C0 and C1 and voila, it will never happen again

How? Buy and install Fauxclock, I don't know how to do it manually nor I couldn't find any other app.

You can thank me, but you should also thank Faust because he brought me this solution. Joying all the custom roms for months without problems

---------------------------------------------

No some power state of the processor, linux terms. Nothing to do with core numbers. As far as I know the only app that can change this is FauxClock from the play store, but it's worth the money. Just disable C2 and C3, it's still good for the battery. Stock roms from LG also have this disabled.

C0 Operational state. CPU fully turned on.

C1 First idle state. Stops CPU main internal clocks via software. Bus interface unit and APIC are kept running at full speed.

C2 Stops CPU main internal clocks via hardware. State where the processor maintains all software-visible states, but may take longer to wake up through interrupts.

C3 Stops all CPU internal clocks. The processor does not need to keep its cache coherent, but maintains other states. Some processors have variations of the C3 state that differ in how long it takes to wake the processor through interrupts.
