It makes the note 3 look washed out lol

[Xperia Z2 General] bryanky5:
I want it to be compared to the Z ultra's screen since the Z ultra screen is definitely Sony's best effort at a display up until the Z2
[Xperia Z2 General] Chad_Petree:
I think i'm gonna turn off Xreality it looks oversaturated, I actually like more the way the Galaxy Note 3 looks :eek:
[Xperia Z2 General] stanley08:
Exactly what I thought

No. It looks over over saturated
[Xperia Z2 General] Akiainavas:
Think we should really abstain from comparing displays by youtube videos ;)

Z2 looks over-saturated, but then again it might be due to X-Reality, Bravia or simply the fact that IPS LCD have more brightness than AMOLED displays, and they say both handsets are set at 100%. Too many details that can completely change the outcome.

One thing is certain though. If it looks over-saturated, than it means that the display is capable of producing ridiculously rich colours, which in my opinion is definitely better than not being able to produce them at all - like previous Sony displays ( Z, Z1 etc )
[Xperia Z2 General] nikola1970:
Both Z and Z1 have awesome displays (owned both) when u watch them directly, colors are beautiful, but yeah, viewing angels are crap!
[Xperia Z2 General] subcola:
Does Z2 have gorilla glass 3 or some other kind of glass?
[Xperia Z2 General] napkun:
I'm pretty sure they use Dragontrail glass for the Z1. It's supposedly much more resilient than Gorilla Glass. There's a drop test of the Z1 on youtube and there was hardly any damage to the glass surface, although the phone wouldn't turn on but that's a different matter.
[Xperia Z2 General] Akiainavas:
Dragontrail Glass. Not as scratch resistand as Gorilla Glass 3 - but survives more force, bends and is harder to break. So it's a good thing in my opinion.
[Shield Q&A] John6670:
So recently, I had to do a clean install or one key recovery for my laptop. Anyway, after downloading Splashtop streamer again r, I noticed that it was recently updated to version 2.5.5.2.

The issue? Splashtop THD has begun crashing, at random points for my Nvidia Shield. This never used to happen before when using previous versions of Splashtop streamer, so I was wondering if anyone here has an older version of splashtop streamer? Specifically 2.5.0.1?

It's not a paid app by any means, it's completely free. unfortunately when i look at the splashtop website it doesn't have the previous versions available for download. Only the latest one.

for people who do have version 2.5.0.1, could you please upload it to a hosting site? like mega or any other free hosting site?

https://mega.co.nz

For people who have the latest version of Splashtop Streamer, have you guys had any issues in regards to splashtop thd disconnecting?

Hello everyone,

I decided today to try and switch from aokp android 4.4.2 rom back to the official 4.3 update. I Factory reset and cleared cache, and then flashed the .tar file via odin, and it said it passed. Unfortunately, it gets to the flashing Samsung logo, and gets stuck there.. any suggestions on how to fix this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
What phone model and carrier do you use and where did you find an Odin flashable file for 4.3 JB? Do you have custom recovery installed on your phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] deanfranks21:
I have a bell SGH-I747M, I got the zip off of sam mobile, and I did, until I flashed the rom through Odin and it removed root and cwm
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
The 4.3 ROM would have been better flashed as a zip file via custom recovery than Odin. I would suggest you first try booting into recovery mode and doing a hard wipe/reset. If this does not work, then you may try reinstalling the zip. Boot into download mode and flash custom recovery (cwm or TWRP) via Odin. Also copy the zip file you earlier downloaded (unextracted) onto an SDHC card or you may try another download via this link <http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319199494>. If you are able to successfully flash custom recovery, don't allow the phone to reboot but remove the battery and insert the card. Then boot into custom recovery and flash the zip from the SDHC card. Clear the cache and reset and, hopefully, your phone will be back in business.
[General Questions and Answers] Rayz321:
Hi, I have a Moto X from sprint that I'd like to use on T-Mobile.

I've seen listings on eBay for Sprint Moto X that are unlocked for use on any carrier so I believe it's possible.

I've researched and can't find any way to unlock it without a sprint account.

I've read the terms of unlocking (found here) and as far as I can tell anyone with a sprint account should be able to call up customer care and unlock my phone.

I've talked to a user on here that says if I get my phone unlocked and sent him some files after the OTA unlock he may be able to find a way to let others unlock their Sprint Moto X phones.

If someone could help me I'd be willing to send them a few bucks via PayPal.
[HTC One Max] cstrife999:
Been looking around and couldn't find the default sprint boot animation. Although I'm not new to android I am pretty new to boot animations. If someone could pull one from a stock rom and post it that would be great. If this is possible and you don't want to post it telling me where to find it in the stock rom would also help. Thanks in advance.

List of Custom Recoveries for the Samsung Galaxy Ace II X

For all things rooting and installing, a custom recovery is often needed. New things are being developed day and night. Thus, I find it necessary for there to be a list of all the recoveries that are compatible with the Samsung Galaxy Ace II X. Some are better than others, though it is a matter of preference. Anyways, commencing the list...

Bugs - Mount USB doesn't work, "dancing screen," SOME USERS REPORT THAT INSTALLING CWM6 CAUSES THE DEVICE TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY INSTEAD OF THE ROM

Download

3. TeamWin Recovery Project 2.6.3.0 - my work

TeamWin Recovery Project, often abbreviated as TWRP, is a custom recovery that has a fully touch-driven interface.

CodeName, you resolve the bug for TWRP 2.6 can you try for CWMR 6 ? :angel:

It's just a question :good:
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Codename13:
Woops, wasn't seeing any notifications because I forgot to suscribe. Anyways...

What do you mean? I can tell you that I am not done with custom recoveries or custom kernels. CM10.2 is just my focus at the moment. Also, this thread is under construction. I don't have time to work on it for awhile.

I've already tried, but I either got build errors or a black screen when I booted into CWM6. I'll try again sometime another day, because I would love to get a nonbuggy CWM6 working. Just a question - is CWM6 different from Philz Touch or are the two a single custom recovery?

Bug report (TWRP 2.7.0.0)

I have bug report (TWRP 2.7.0.0) - settings are not saving, every time I enter recovery, I have to set everything again. Console says that it can't find something to store the settings if I remember correctly.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Codename13:
The latest release? I have no such problem. TWRP is configured so that the settings are stored on the external sdcard. So if you don't have one, your settings won't be saved. I considered setting the cache partition as the TWRP settings storage, but cache is often wiped when installing ROMs and packages. The same with system, data, et cetera. I've considered setting the recovery partition as a settings storage partition; however, whenever a new build of TWRP is installed, the recovery partition will be overwritten. I could try splitting the cache partition up so there is the cache partition and a new 12mb partition, but then there would either be errors when installing firmwares via Odin, or the new settings storage partition would be wiped. Unless you have any better ideas than the sdcard being the settings storage, don't complain. I'm not sure what's causing your issue - perhaps it's because you only insert your sdcard when you boot into TWRP? Enlighten me, and tell me a bit about your device setup (ROM, kernel, size of sdcard, etc).
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregory678:
OMG, I'm such dumb, I just noticed that settings file is hidden. I was wondering why it's always left empty folder after rebooting from recovery mode, now I discovered a hidden settings file in it, I'm Scherlock of the year :D. Sorry for bothering you, can someone delete these ashaming posts? :D
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeremicus:
Hi Everyone, so I have tried installing a few of these recoveries with Odin. Every time it runs through fine, no errors, but when I restart the device in recovery mode I just get the default stock recovery screen. Has anyone encountered this?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Codename13:
I'm going to stop working on TWRP 2.7.x because it is designed to be built in KitKat-based ROMs' source trees since I don't work on KitKat. I had several issues trying to restore a backup of stock ROM, because it does not have SELinux support at all. There's a reason why TWRP dropped support for older versions of Android - SELinux. It causes the restore to fail for some reason. Anyways, I'll message one of our device's KitKat-based ROM devs, and I'll find someone who can continue work on TWRP 2.7 for us. I was also having issues compiling it after some major commits that were committed to it, so I really am unable to compile it properly unless I migrate to KitKat, which I won't be doing for awhile. Good news though, I've managed to get internal storage working on TWRP 2.6.3.0!

Delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh then try installing a recovery again and booting into it.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAssassin:
Can someone make a .zip file that has the recoveries .img to be flashed in recovery instead of .tar which needs odin for the ace2x preferably one of TWRP RECOVERIES PLEASE
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Codename13:
I was thinking about the advantages of TWRP 2.7 over 2.6. I knew that if I looked in the commit history for 2.7 on Github, I would be bound to find the commits that brought in some of my favorite features of TWRP 2.7.0.0. That, along with I having just discovered that Github commits can be download as patches, will bring the best version of TWRP for us yet. So far, I've successfully backported haptic feedback (along with the settings for it) and a bit more. I've also fixed internal storage in TWRP. I plan to backport the smoother scrolling, USB Mass Storage (it only works in 2.7 at the moment because 2.7 added in a different way to handle and mount UMS. I'll backport the different way of handling and mounting UMS), and add in some other bits of fun. It's going to be really cool, and it really isn't time consuming, so I should be able to bring it to you all very soon.

Just download Recovery Tools from the Play Store.

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] husokal:
So you suggest 2.6.3.0 instead 2.7.0.0 for stock rom users. Regarding restore issues?

______________________________________________

Thank you for great work.

So far so good. The only Bug-free recovery! :victory:
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Codename13:
Yes, I say to use 2.6.3.0 as a universal recovery for our device. TWRP 2.6.3.0 works for both stock and custom ROMs, it doesn't enforce SELinux, so I say to use it. Plus, I've back ported some little changes from 2.7 to make it even better. Thank you for the praise, but it actually does have some bugs (mount USB storage) which I'll probs try to fix after the summer.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] husokal:
Im sorry i dont know much things about SELinux

As i see 2.7.0.0 Forces SELinux which i dont know what can be problem about it.

and 2.6.3.0 Mount Storage not working.

So im using 2.7.0.0 for my stock. Cause i need this function sometimes.

Sorry for noob question but what can be problem about Enforcing SELinux for 4.0.4

There's another bug with cwm 6. It shows a warning called warning:no file_contexts, as well as bootlooping into cwm again. This happens when you flash any rom, or restore to a nandroid backup. Please add this bug for future reference, as this can cause low experienced users to brick their devices.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Codename13:
So is it pretty much unusable? I never actually tested it and I didn't even create it, but a user had told me that it worked fine. I'll post a little warning for CWM6. Anyways, I think that TWRP 2.6.3.0 is the best custom recovery ATM. Of course, there are only 4 custom recoveries that have been built. I actually was going to return to porting some other custom recoveries to our device the other day. I want to port CWM6, Philz Touch, try out a few little hacks, and I want to implement internal storage into TWRP 2.7 just as it is in TWRP 2.6. Also, I think I'm going to try fixing the USB Mounting issue in TWRP 2.6. I know that 2.7 introduced a new, more universal way of handling UMS, so I'm going to see if I can backport it.

EDIT - It seems that there's also a new version of TWRP out. It seems to be quite minor, but I'll see if I can port it. It's been bumped up to version 2.7.1.0 now.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s7560m:
Definitely twrp is the best! Never had any issues with it whatsoever, and has a great ui. If you could though, it would be awesome to try and port philz touch and cwm touch as well, just in case those who like cwm want that touch feature, or like the theme and features of philz touch :). And I really hope the usb mounting issue can be fixed, as it can save so much time, rather than downloading to my computer, transferring to phone external storage, and then booting into recovery. Those who are lazy don't want to do all of that lol. Anyways, keep up all of the good work, and hopefully these bug fixes and new recoveries are implemented in future notice! :D

Hey, I have rooted my phone using this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45767157#post45767157 with Daver18qc's GT-S7560M Root Kit (With Detailed Instructions!) v.3

So my phone is rooted, however I wanted to put CWM 5.5.0.4

I was wondering if someone can point me in the direction of a step by step guide to do it.

I tried doing this guide

- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!

- Unzip the attached Odin3-vX.X.zip file

- Download and unzip the CF-Root-SGS3-vX.X.zip file (see posts below this one)

- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar file - don't extract that one

- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer

- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe

- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-SGS3-vX.X.tar

- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold volume-down + home + power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)

- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer

- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked

- Click the Start button

- Wait for Android to boot

- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)

My phone is rooted still, but when I boot into recovery mode, it is just the stock recovery.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Codename13:
Try deleting /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and or installing a custom kernel.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddberkel:
Ya I tried deleting that and it didn't let me do that. I realized though reading forums and such that, I need to put a custom rom on first before CWM will save. Because I flashed CWM and then just put super user on, but apparently I need to put a custom rom on right after I flash with CWM.

Does that make sense lol?

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

But that leaves me to my next question, is there a way I can backup my stock rom before flashing a new one on? And will flashing Cyanogen Mod 11 with gapps delete everything off my phone?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thecrazyskull:
Its not neccesary to install a custom rom just do what [MENTION=4702565]Codename13[/MENTION] says: install a custom kernel.

You can do that with odin the same way you installed cwm.

Here are a few custom kernels:

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s7560m:
Are you able to rename the file? If so, rename it to install-recovery.sh.bak.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddberkel:
I could not rename it because I had a stock rom, I have recently flashed Cyanogen Mod on and everything works great :D

Thanks!
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s7560m:
Wait, how were you not able to rename it? Did you use the stock file manager and were not able to access the system folder?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddberkel:
I used ES File Explorer and it said "this action could not be completed" I don't know why I couldn't rename it lol.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KlinkOnE:
That's because /system not being mounted rw. You have to mount it right afterwards you are allowed to do changes.

Twrp 2.7.0 needed!!

After i flashed twrp 2.7.1 i liked to flash a zip file but i saw that there isn't a sdcard or internal storage, so i thought i must only mount it so i go to mount and storage and there whas NOTHING i go to reboot menu and when i hitted reboot i got the message: No OS installed are you sure you want to reboot?

That scared me because my first hardbrick on this device was in a (such of) same situation, so now i rebooted into download mode and YES i didn't hardbrick my phone but im afraid to go out download mode thats why i need someone who still have the recover.tar.md5 of twrp 2.7.0 [MENTION=4702565]Codename13[/MENTION] deleted the link so i can't download it again...

Partition information table (pit file)

this is not really relevant in this thread, but I looked at another thread and said you have a pit file. It said that you have a partition information table, which is the only way I can revive my phone. If you don't mind, could you send me one?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Codename13:
Unfortunately that issue is due to having built TWRP 2.7.1.0 on a Jellybean-based Android source tree. 2.7.0.0 and up are designed to be built on KitKat trees (or higher). I had to hack some things to get it building properly, though it seems that there are some consequences (KitKat handles mounts differently.) TWRP 2.6.3.0 works fine though.

I haven't ever tested out the PIT file, but it should theoretically work. I created it by using Heimdall (a command-line version of Odin, that has more features, for Ubuntu) to "download" the PIT file from my device. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if it will actually work or just end up bricking your device. You can download it from here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwfkTu8oetfPOC1HdVVEOUVIMGs/edit?usp=sharing (sorry, the link button doesn't seem to be working at the moment!) Take your own precautions: if something bad happens to your device, don't give me rage please. You should only use this PIT file if you absolutely need to, as a last effort to revive your device.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s7560m:
Thanks!!

Lol, rage? Trust me, fortunately I know what I am doing. This was seriously my "only" option to revive my device. I tried flashing stock via odin, results in same bootloop. I flashed a new recovery (cwm or twrp), and couldn't access it at all with hardware keys, not even stock recovery. I tried flashing different stock roms for ace 2x (e.g. one for koodo or the australia mh3 rom). No matter what I do, I couldn't get it to boot up. So I figured that one of the partitions are corrupted or messed up or something to that extent. I looked up another thread and the guy had the exact same problem with his phone, and said he fixed it with the pit file. I can't thank you enough for this!

[EDIT] It's already virtually bricked, what other option do I have?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Codename13:
Did you wipe data (factory reset) before you used Odin before the bootloop started? I have an idea that "brick" might be caused by /data leftovers from a custom ROM interfering with stock. How far does the device boot? Boot logo? Boot animation? Are you able to get any logcats (with ADB)? If it is your /data partition that is messed up, I should be able to create a blank userdata.img that you can flash onto the data partition, overwriting any existing files.
