are u worried abt ur warranty?

coz if u flashed stock 4.3 then knox was installed too ..

If u don't care abt that, wipe clean everything then flash any rom, it will do fine..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihawk213:
i don't care about warranty, i flashed cwm recovery so the warranty is lost

you said that i must wipe clean everything, how to ? i haven't access to recovery mode !
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anubhav Agrawal:
didn't say must ... u shud tho, its called dirty flashing, where u flash without wiping previous data.

Anyhow, if u cant access it, then just flash on it, make sure u download file completely, broken downloads can be a reason of this

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paco_ramirez:
I have tried to install smartdroid in my s3 using TWRP as recovery manager. Since I previously backed up my stock rom I was able to back from a flashing problem I had "some changes failed". As I saw this can be overcame using Philz I changed the recovery. Then I tried to install, again, the smartdroid. This time it finishes but never booted up correctly.

Now, I am not able to reload my backed up rom (as it was made with TWRP and now I have Philz) nor installing smartdroid. So well, I want to install TWRP but I haven't seen the zip file to install it from Philz recovery What can I do?. Can I use odin from Philz?

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asuhoops8628:
Hey uys, first off if this is a dupe, my bad. I did a bit of searching and couldnt find a topic that addressed this question specifically for the droid maxx DE.

I have my DE on 4.2.2, never took any updates. I have since unlocked the bootloader, and am rooted.

I wanted to know if rooting this phone with bootloader unlocked was as simple as installing supersu or superuser from the play store? I have heard that with an unlocked bootloader there is no additional steps needed (such as rock/pwn mymoto etc). Can anyone confirm that this is true?

Also does the same apply with KitKat? Am I simply able to root by installing supersu since my bootloader is unlocked?

Thank you and appreciate the help.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeRunner:
It IS simple but not as simple as that. After you unlock you need to flash TWRP, after that in the bootloader menu boot recovery then reboot from recovery and it will ask if you want to install Su, swype to to that and then you're rooted. The same method applies to KitKat.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asuhoops8628:
I take it same applies if using cwm or other recovery
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeRunner:
in theory, yes. I've had an issue with getting root to stick using CWM touch. If you use a recovery other than TWRP and it doesn't work you can always root using TWRP then flash your recovery of choice after.

Is there a G Flex Theme Stock Rooted rom for the VS980? Im running stock rooted now 12B. I want the swing lock and flex weather widget.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] ice8lue:
Hey everybody,

I'm currently porting my company's webapp to Windows 8. As being written 99% in JavaScript, I just started a new Windows Store JS App project in Visual Studio and moved all of my code in. After some fixes, the app is running fine now.

For deployment, I'm using grunt with grunt-contrib-uglify to concat and minify my JS files. They are saved with UTF-8 encoding und the windows app runs fine using those minified scripts. But the WACK certification fails because those files don't contain the BOM (Byte Order Marker).

I now added a step to my grunt setup, which adds the BOM to those JS files by reading the filecontent as buffer and re-save it with \uFFEF (the BOM) at the beginning. That leads to correctly encoded files, passing the certification.

The funny part is:

When I run the app as Debug or Release right from VS (with debugger), the app is working fine.

If I bundle the app for store submit and start it with the debugger attached, it's also running fine. But if I start the app without the debugger, the scripts are not being loaded.

Do you have a ti:(p for me?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Toxickill:
Build project as release and THEN create the app package check for breakpoints. Also does it run uncompressed?

Can you provide the code or the package?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] ice8lue:
Doesn't the Package process do the build on it's own?

It is working when I load all the single JS files (that grunt is merging into one) and add the BOM to all of them. If I just concat those files without compression/minification it's working, together with the added BOM it's not...

There are no errors (I added an error listener), they simply don't get loaded.

---

I tried your solution, but it ends the same. The interesting part is, if I use publish rather than build, it gets installed und IS running without a debugger. After packaging, it's not...
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Toxickill:
The marker you are adding is for the UTF format MS uses... However you are encoding to UTF-8...
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] ice8lue:
This is, basically, what I'm doing to those JS files after concat/minify:

var buf = grunt.file.read(fileName, { encoding: null });
var missingBOM = (buf[0] !== 0xEF && buf[1] !== 0xBE && buf[2] !== 0xBB);
if (missingBOM) {
grunt.file.write(fileName, '\ufeff' + buf, { encoding: 'utf-8' });
}
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Toxickill:
See here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd374101(v=vs.85).aspx

Im mobile so im sorry for link.. But you are using the wrong marker for the encoding see here for a table.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] ice8lue:
Hmm... but it's the same marker as VS adds when I'm manually saving them with UTF8-signed encoding. EF BB BF adds cryptical symbols but no BOM...
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Toxickill:
Can you create me a blank program compress it and send it to me so i can see if it does not work and i ca debug it as well.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] ice8lue:
I'm sorry, I can't give out the code...

This is essentially what it does:

HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="%dest%css/%lib-css%" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="%dest%css/%app-css%" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper"></div>

<script>
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.async = false;
script.type="text/javascript";
script.charset = "utf-8";
script.onload = function() {
...
};
script.src = '%dest%js/%libs-js%';
document.head.appendChild(script);

var script = document.createElement('script');
script.async = false;
script.type="text/javascript";
script.charset = "utf-8";
script.onload = function() {
... (initialize app,...)
};
script.src = '%dest%js/%app-js%';
document.head.appendChild(script);
</script>
</body>
</html>

What my grunt script does is minify all JS files into app.js and libs.js, the CSS into app.css and libs.css and replace the %var% variables with the corresponding files/folders.

My script now writes the correct BOM to the file and also removes possible BOMs in the file left from the source files during merging:

var buf = grunt.file.read(dist + fileName, { encoding: null });
var BOM = new Buffer([0xEF,0xBB,0xBF]);

// remove multi BOMs from Buffer
var bufString = buf.toString('utf-8');
bufString = bufString.replace(BOM.toString('utf-8'), null);
buf = new Buffer(bufString, 'utf-8');

// add new UTF-8 BOM to the beginning of the file buffer
var bomFile = Buffer.concat([BOM,buf]);
grunt.file.write(dist + fileName, bomFile, { encoding: 'utf-8' });

I double-checked via a HEX editor that the resulting files 1. contain the correct BOM at the beginning and 2. don't contain any additional BOMs (neither the UTF8 nor the THF16 one).

Still, no luck launching the app without a debugger, my JS is not loaded/parsed...
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] ice8lue:
No ideas guys?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Toxickill:
Sorry, ive been working the 8.1 jailbeak, try keeping your scrips in the same directory and referencing them with the file name only...

This could be the problem....

%dest%js/%libs-js%

Im not familiar with JS windows store apps.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] ice8lue:
No problem in general, but we're eager to release the app.

The code path is correct, these are variables, being overwritten during deployment.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] ice8lue:
Update:

It looks like it's really the combination of merged JS files by uglifyJS and the BOM that causes this problem. I now disabled the merge, loading all of the files seperately (but in a minified form) with the BOM added. The app now succeeds certification AND is running without a debugger.

This is ugly, but it's working - finally.

[HTC One X] Kutusov:
Hi, I'm really not sure what to make of this problem so maybe you can help me out pinpointing the problem so I can take care of it. I've observed several things and don't know how to connect the dots, or if there's any connection, so let me list what I've been seeing:

1 - I've got TomTom to use on my car.

2 - Worked wonderfully well on the first week or so. Fast to lock onto satellites (10 to 20 seconds), accurate and stable without loosing the lock.

3 - I've noticed from day one that it tends to to locate me a few meters back than what I'm actually am, so if I come about two streets very near one another, the turn on the correct one is a bit hard to to tell without looking at the map.

4 - A week ago, the phone started to take longer to lock my position and won't keep it, it often loses connection with the satellites.

5 - Also, the problem is a lot worse if I stop. It might be accurate while I'm driving over 50mph but, if I stop, the direction I'm facing is lost and then my location. It will place me within 50m to 100m of where I am, which could mean on another street. It has become useless for the slow paced city driving, with red lights and slow traffic.

6 - I haven't changed ROMs or anything major but I have downloaded a few apps, might have taken a few others out, the usual stuff... I'm using Android Revolution HD 31.2.

7 - I've noticed that a lot of times, in regular mobile use, the GPS icon shows up trying to locate my position, even with GPS off. Might be that I have accepted Google's location request or is embedded on some app. Don't know if this has any relation to the workings of navigation or with the timeframe the problem occurred.

8 - A final though... I've always had this problem with standalone GPS devices... They work fine for a few weeks/couple of months and then they seem to deteriorate, having a hard time to locate my position, maintaining a good connection, etc. I have no idea on why this is or if there's some sort of cache I should be cleaning.

Oh, and this happens regardless of the weather... overcasted, rainy days or clear skies, it's all the same.

So any thoughts on how to pinpoint the source of the problem so I can fix it?

Cheers!

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McBeanTIO:
Has anyone figured out how to get the AC4 Companion app to work on the TouchPad running Android 4.4 with the 3.4 kernel?

I just learned about the app myself, and have never had it on a "droided" Touchpad, but was definitely interested in trying to get this to work.

I've been following some of the various posts on the web that the app only works with a limited number of devices. The app can't be found on the PlayStore directly with the TouchPad. You have to go to other forums to find the APK and OBB files to install. I've tried most of the workarounds to know avail.

Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ubisoft.assassin.blackflag

My overall challenge is that the program attempts to start, and then given an error that it appears "you did not purchase the app from the Play Store".

Workaround 1: Setting DPI to 200

I have tried this within the build.prop file directly, as well as installing Xposed Framework and tieing the apk to kick off with a default DPI of 200. No joy

Workaround 2: Tweaking Heapsize values in build.prop file

The workaround calls for these two values:

* dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=64m

* dalvik.vm.heapsize=256m

Again, no joy.

Here's the site where I've been getting my hands on the APK and OBB files for the install:

http://wiiare.in/12141-assassins-creed-4-companion-app-fur-androidios/

(PS - I don't read German, so the rest of the page may have more details, but it's totally unreadable to me.)

I've checked several other forums, but have found new good solution to get this working specifically on the TouchPad.

Any thoughts or ideas out there?

--McBean
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllanSim:
I've done it on a JC Sullins ROM (which i think is Android 4.2.2) but I basically had to be sneaky about it, download it from a site other than the Play Store, copy a large file of data and then run the APK. Took a couple tries but it worked fine eventually. I don't feel bad about it as it is a free app, but as you say, it won't appear on the Play Store through the Touchpad. Looks like they are allowing app devs to narrow the range of devices their app will be available to install on which really sucks if you ask me.

Edit: oh gee, your link had the instructions and I didn't know, so I didn't have to explain it.
