[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waterdroid:
Hi,

Are these the products you bought?

www.amazon.com/Repair-Precision-Motorola-Verizon-Cingular/dp/B001KBEO1O

http://www.amazon.com/Internal-Battery-LG-2100mAh-Optimus/dp/B00DRODFNK

If yes, then you should be fine. The repair kit includes a T5 Torx screwdriver which you'll need to remove the 2 screws at the bottom of your device. Also, the 'Safe Plying Prying Pry Tool' (which I guess is the blue/green plastic thing on the right) is pretty useful, but I prefer using a guitar pick to open up the phone.

As for the battery, I'm no expert myself but the reviews are looking pretty good. I'd say it is genuine.

Good luck and maybe this video might help:

What phone did you get by the way?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jin512:
Hi, thank you for the prompt response. These are the products that I have bought. I hope everything works out. I ended up following the hype and getting an iPhone 5S. Definitely missing stock Android and a larger screen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waterdroid:
No problem. If anything goes wrong, I'd be glad to help you out where I can.

I'm glad you got an iPhone. IMHO iOS lacks way too much customization, but you'll appreciate the endless list of accesoires, cases, apps, etc. for your device. And if you don't, just get rid of that thing and get yourself an Android device again, it's only a phone after all :).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jin512:
Haha. You speak exactly what is on my mind. iOS has its advantages and disadvantages. The accessories and support from Apple is great and the apps are all very uniformly designed. However, the screen's kind of small and I can't really use widgets. I miss customizing and rooting and installing custom roms. I am looking at the Nexus 5 haha or the Galaxy S5, although I do prefer stock Android experience. Maybe I will make the change back. I don't know. For now, iPhone 5s.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jin512:
I disassembled my phone to take a look at my battery and oh my god was I scared. Here are some pictures for you guys to see.

*For others who have a bulging Nexus 4 or have battery dying around 50-60%, you should probably stop using your phone as this might be what is happening to you. Good luck.

My phone is working excellent. I replaced the battery with an OEM LG battery and now battery life on Kit Kat 4.4.2 has never been better. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blade86sam:
I just had to replace the battery on my nexus 4 today (the pictures that the OP posted, are an accurate representation of what my battery looked like).... here's the story:

Been 5years since i first got my Nexus 4 and during that time ive used it quite extensively. It's had it USB port replaced as it shorted itself oh so randomly while charging... Now, it's been almost two years that it has been retired after getting myself the OnePlus X. Although i do go to it time to time to install stuff and just play with it, i never noticed anything physically wrong it with, cause there wasn't.

Ill say, a month went by since the last time i had used the phone.... So, today i decided I wanted to install the latest version of LineageOS on it, after the dev went on a little break.

When i picked up the phone, i noticed that the phone felt weird in my hand, but even more so when i laid it down on my desk... it wobbled... i was like wtf?

While then examining the phone, i noticed that there was a slight bulge happening where the area the battery is... so in my head im like hmm... i think the battery might need to be replaced soon.

Anyway, while playing with the phone, it eventually just shut off on me... tried to power it back on... nope... so im like... "needs to be replaced... 'soon'... yea, more like now..."

luckily i had already purchased a new battery at the same time i ordered the new USB port for my phone when the usb shorted.

30min later:

battery was replaced, no more bulge and phone powered back on! and to my surprise, the battery was at 62% charge! not bad for 2yrs unused! hahaha

P.S. my phone isnt cracked like the OP's Nexus 4... that's just holy w-t-f!

Hello everybody! I have very annoying bug with my camera flashlight. when i touch the screen to focus the flashlight turns on and sometimes a very strange sound appear (the same like short circuit ) and the phone freeze and reboot itself. Any ideas?

Hi,

i have a problem with changing my contact photos for contacts synced with GMail over the standard Google Sync.

If I try to chance someone's picture with a picture out of my gallery i just get the following error and nothing happens:

I also tried it via the normal gallery app and the G+ gallery app and via the contacts itself, but always the same error. I thought it could be the google server but it's for the whole day today.

My Nexus 5 is on stock 4.4.2 rooted but no modifications.

Can someone confirm the problem? otherwise i will reflash the rom.

I will try factory reset now. And then reflash the rom.

Im trying to get xposed on my phone. I am running the 4.3 update and rooted with superSU. I've given xposed root permissions and all but when I click install the phone force reboots and then it's not installed when it comes back from restarting. Greenify has no problems with root so I don't think it's a root issue.

What's new in 2.7.0.0:

Faster graphics rendering by disabling alpha blending on fully opaque objects thanks to Tassadar

Allow sideloading from /tmp on encrypted devices

Check for a crypto footer before asking for a password to prevent user confusion

Additional checks for validity to auto generated backup names

Text wrap in the console output

Proper caps lock support in the keyboard

Mouse support via USB OTG for devices with a broken digitizer

Improve scanning of storage locations for OpenRecoveryScript

Haptic feedback for buttons, keyboard, and vibration at the end of longer running actions

Fixed ext4 wiping when no selinux contexts are defined for that partition (e.g. sd-ext)

Update SuperSU to 1.93 and improve installation process

Added selinux contexts restoration to fix permissions

Load RTC offset on Qualcomm devices to fix the date/time in recovery

USB Mass Storage fixes Add SELinux support checking

Add Disk Usage class to better handle excluded folders (e.g. Google Music cache)

Add 4.4 decrypt support

Add some toolbox utilities to TWRP (namely to support SELinux functions not supported in busybox)

Various SELinux fixes and bug fixes

Note: 2.7 marks the first time that we are dropping support for older devices. We are doing this because of the SELinux support needed to install 4.4 Kit Kat ROMs. The non-TWRP parts of the recovery image have to be built in at least a 4.1 tree and the kernel that is included in the recovery image has to support writing SELinux contexts. We don't own most of the devices that we support so we depend on outside testers and developers to help us update devices. In many cases we can't find someone readily. Come to #twrp on Freenode if you want to help bring your device up to date. You can tell right away if your device will support 4.4 ROMs in 2.7. Boot TWRP and press the console button (the square-ish button either in the bottom middle or upper right) to view the console output. If it doesn't say "Full SELinux support" in the console, then your device still needs some work. Help us help you.

How to modify Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 bootlogo

***Warning***

I'm not responsible for any brick/damage to your phone (e.g. if you want to manually flash modified file and by mistake you flash it on another partition and not in PARAM's)

The original method for this mod goes from here, I have searched and found block and its size where is present bootlogo on GT-I9070, which is different from GT-I8190.​

Let's start!

First, download a HEX editor (for this tutorial we'll use HxD)

Make your own logo.jpg using any tool that you want, following these parameters: 480x800 pixels and not bigger than 65.246 bytes

Download attached stock_param and extract it where you want. We will use always this param, others may have the bootlogo in different offsets

Open downloaded original param in HxD and set octal value

View attachment 2622265

Now select Edit>Select block: Start 660000 - End 1057335

View attachment 2622266 View attachment 2622267 View attachment 2622268

Go to File>New (set again octal value as the first screenshot!), then select Edit>Insert bytes and put 177336 as number

View attachment 2622269

Now we have an empty block with the same lenght than original block in param.lfs

View attachment 2622270

Open your created logo.jpg with HxD, right mouse button click and first choose "Select all" then choose "Copy"

View attachment 2622207

Go back to the empty file that we made, return at the start of code (offset 00000000) then right mouse button click and choose "Paste (Overwrite)"

View attachment 2622215

Example of the new start/end after overwrite

View attachment 2622216 View attachment 2622217

Now after overwrite click right mouse button, choose "Select all" then "Copy"

View attachment 2622219

Return to param.lfs, click right mouse button, choose "Paste (Overwrite)" and finally save the file

View attachment 2622221

Example of old logo's block start/end

To flash the new param.lfs look in 2nd post
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] AntaresOne:
Flash modified param.lfs

To flash modified param you have some different ways:

Use my Param Flasher (best and safest way, you need only device drivers)

Download empty_param, put modified param inside it and flash with recovery

Manually way (can be dangerous if you're not experienced, so I'll not write how to do)

To restore original param:

Use Param Flasher choosing "Restore stock param.lfs"

Or download stock_param and flash with recovery

If something goes wrong with modified param.lfs, bootlogo can be ruined (you see only pixels, coloured lines...) or after power on vibration you get just a black screen, you can have one of these two scenarios:

ROM doesn't boot but device boots itself in recovery when you press power button: use Param Flasher to restore stock param or flash stock_param with recovery

ROM and recovery don't boot: Use Param Flasher in "Odin Mode" and follow the instructions.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] AntaresOne:
Only if you create an image with the exact byte size than original, in other cases first you need to create an empty block with the same lenght as image block in param.lfs, like specified on guide. Use only jpg and not other formats, you can use GIMP, IrfanView, Photoshop to create them... To get original Samsung logo just select image block like on first part of the guide, copy it and paste on a new file saving as a jpg file, then to try this mod before creating your own image/logo/signature I suggest to invert the image (black/white->white/black) and finally follow the whole guide

sorry, i used this guide, but i wasn't able to to install my custom "splash screen", afther flashing it, my phone only boot on recovery. so. i keep the guide ( odin set on the downloaded folder, don't work , so i installed it from another web site). i keep the guide, but phone continue to start in recovery.....(i tried to reinstall the original param.lfs, either with odin, either with flash zip,as written in the guide)

, but nothing....

so i reflash the cyanogen mode 11 that i had in my sdcard, , (i had done a buck up with titanium before), but is a hassle to reinstalll all app and data.... but , here is the miracle, i just flash the cyanogen 11 that i have flashed several time(i risked several time in the past to brick my phone). and my phone was as before all, i have all my app, all my setting, all my data, even if i don't have restore my buck up with titanium!

ommitting the flash of custom splash screen, (may be you could help me, to found what i wrong), could someone explain me how this could possible?!(it is a miracle, because when i reinstall cyanogen, time ago, i had to use titanium to restore my buck up)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] AntaresOne:
Because you didn't formatted /data partition, so you have all your apps, settings, data... The procedure for custom splash image is this only and works 100/100 times if you do all correctly. You have to check your custom image size (shold be as the guide) before modifying param.lfs
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] enricomarc:
i tried again, just now,but nothing , phone boot on recovery, and i have to reflesh the rom

for images , i chose the image on the 2 post in the first page, (i modified it ) it is 480 x800, and less than 65k bite, i use guide, but nothing,

the image coul be right, isn'it? i only write my name above "samsung galaxy...."

could you help me please ?

[MENTION=5877376]enricomarc[/MENTION]

Instead of reflashing stock with Odin everytime, extract param.lfs.md5 from 'Param Flasher' in 2nd post of this thread and flash with Odin as PDA... Read again the guide, for sure you made something wrong :) have you created empty block with the same size of the splashscreen's block in param.lfs? Here you paste your custom image's code by overwriting option, then select all and copy, paste into param.lfs overwriting original logo's block.

Always use the param that I have attached, other params may have splashscreen in different offsets.

Important thing: check always that you are using octal value

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gruezi333:
Hi,

I need to recover deleted sms messages (from a Samsung Galaxy SIII I9300) and there is no backup of the mmssms.db database.

It's for a customer and I would like avoiding to root and to alter the operating system.

This mean that I would be very happy if the procedure could be as much "read only" as possible.

I'm however aware that I will have to write something to the phone, and I plan using the recovery partition for this.

After reading this much interesting thread http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/28296/full-backup-of-non-rooted-devices

my main hope is based on flashing ClockWorkMod (CWM) or TWRP to the recovery partition with Odin (or maybe Heimdall).

This seems a priori possible without root access. (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2313072)

Afterwards, I would like to clone the whole DATA partition, in order to not only get the current "mmssms.db" file, but to also possibly find older versions of it through file carving.

The adb shell seems being a feature of CWM (source: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/ClockworkMod_Recovery) but I'm not sure whether the adb shell resides on the recovery partition or on another one and if root privilege is required to apply commands like push or pull to exchange files between partitions and the sdcard.

Furthermore, I'm not sure if I could run commands like "dd" from recovery partition.

Something like having Busybox commands available also when starting the phone on the recovery partition.

Else, saving a Nandroid backup to the sdcard seems possible, but this sounds saving a directory structure and appears to me being not equal as cloning a partition (at low level). Hence, it would not be possible to carve dereferenced files from the Nandroid backup. Correct ?

TWRP also sounds interesting, as being able to backup only specific partitions like the "DATA" one.

But the fact that its navigation is based on the touch screen appears me being unsafe if the touch screen had to dysfunction in a later time.

I'm familiar to Linux but a newbie in Android-based smartphones.

Thank you very much for your help.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Ahoy mateys,

There's a new custom ROM up on the ftp. It is based on AKU 2.3, originating from a T-MO beta ROM. The core OS however is not beta and is the final AKU 2.3 release.

This ROM feels much better to me than 2.25 did. It will take a few days to really know if it's more stable, but after about 12 hours with it, it feels right. Please only install this ROM if you can deal with potential oddness.

A few interesting notes, and some stats:

-A2DP was already integrated into the OS (no more add-on needed), and works mighty nice with my HT820s, although it sucks CPU

-Auto timezone is active - disable it if your towers insist you're somewhere you aren't

-Boot time is pretty fast, about as fast as 2.25

****THIS NEXT STATEMENT SHOULD BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD****

-The reported ROM build is 2.24. However the core OS build is newer than that of the leaked Cingular ROM version 2.25. This is because the source carrier (T-MO) happens to be at a different place in their numbering. Again, the OS build is newer than the one in Cingular ROM 2.25.xx.

***********************************************************

-The radio ROM is 2.25.11, the same as was in Cingular's 2.25.

-Vibrate while sleeping still works

-Manual phone network selection is re-enabled

-The GPRS/EDGE indicator is now a little different: In the title bar, the usual "E" or "G" indicator will tell you which of the two is available. Added was a very small "E" or "G" over the signal strength bars to indicate an active data connection. This is either new, or my short attention span never noticed it.

-OS reports as: OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0)

-Contains Cingular customizations for accounts, etc

-Added: themes, ringers, OmapClock w/ shortcuts, improved Task Manager, contact multi-select, wireless today screen item

-Makes toast, but not waffles (yet)

Alrighty then, here you go:

ftp://xda:xda@xda-developers.com/Up...U_Wizard_AKU2.3_Custom_RNG_THM_A2DP_TEST2.exe

For the adventurous, let me know how it works for you, and whether the toast is any good. I don't run much in the way of third party apps, so can't comment on issues with them.

EDIT 06/06/06:

I replaced the T-MO sourced 2.25 radio with the Cingular sourced 2.25 radio since some folks say they get better performance. Link to renamed file udpated.

Also includes a softkey control panel app to change softkey mappings.
