Yes, it is the best rom so far. My Phone pad works well now. Problem on the screen under direct sun light is gone and O2 support told me it was the hardware problem which they can not solve?!

Except in camera mode, the screen turns white which I have no idea why. The battery can not last for a day which is same as the old rom and again O2 support told me they have not find a solution for it yet.

Can anyone help?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padhu1989:
I have MotoG-Xt1033 Kitkat, yesterday i unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone, installed xposed framework, etc.. I am seeing few settings changed/dissapeard.

1. Before bootloader unlock, there was an option called "Battery saver" in battery settings, but now i didnt see the "Battery saver" option.

2. In storage settings, we can disable/uncheck MTP option permanently by "USB Computer connection". But after bootloader unlocked/rooted, when I disable the option, it automatically re-enabled whenever I reconnect the USB cable to my PC.

This is few changes I noticed, If I come across any changes, I will update it here..

Is these changes are expected after bootloader unlock/root or Did I messed up anything?

Is anyone facing the same issue?

Any suggestions, or help would be more appriciated. Thanks.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickeyvdb:
Maybe it has something to do with xposed framework. At least for the battery saver option.

I also unlocked my phone and the option is still there.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HalcyonKing:
Hey all, slightly worried atm. I've flashed various roms before so I know what I'm doing. However, I recently unrooted to use an app but now I want to change ROM again after using this one for so long I want more customization. Tried installing SuperSU from play store however the binaries aren't updating and I have no idea how to fix this. Will doing a factory reset restore the ROM to how it was before? Is there a way to manually install binaries via recovery? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andr3y29:
Yes, there it is. But if you are already using a custom recovery, you can install any ROM, as it does not matters if you are rooted or not.

If you still want to use your actual ROM

1.Download this: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300/philz_touch_6.19.3-i9300.zip

2.Reboot to recovery

3.Flash this .zip

4.Go to Power options if you are using a CWM based recovery (like CWM, CWM Touch, Philz Touch or Devil Recovery) and choose "Reboot Recovery". If you are on TWRP, go to "Reboot" and choose "Recovery". This it will boot you into latest Philz Touch 6.19.3 recovery.

5. Now go to "Philz settings" and click "Re-root System (SuperSU)" and then "Yes - Apply SuperSu". The proccess takes like half of a second.

6. Click "+++++Go Back+++++" and then "Reboot System Now"

Now you are good to go :D You can instll SuperSu from the marjet and update the binaries, even if I think this install the latest binaries.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
Also, in the future, if you have supersu pro you can disable supersu to use apps, versus totally unrooting.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcarrmole:
The option to hide root in surperSU is still not complete enough for some apps such as the Barclays Banking app. In this case it may be worth trying to use the exposed module designed for hiding root. Plus you can pre-set it on an app by app basis.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HalcyonKing:
Hey guys, thanks for all your help. It was indeed the pingit app I had to unroot for. Well got my phone working again now so panic is over. Will definitely try the exposed way of trying it in the future!

Hi guys, I have an S3 and been waiting for a nice upgrade, Do you think the S5 would be a good choice? or should I wait for the HTC?

I wish that the new S5 was metal, I hate the cheap feel of the plastic housing though.

Just

I think u have to wait for s5

and one more thing that the plastic back cover is better than metal one

[General Topics] cha91:
I'm unsure if I'll buy the S5, the G3 or the new One, but I like Galaxy S phones for their physical home button, special features like eye tracking, the customization which is great here on XDA, and of course the top specs.

The One has too much of space wasted because of the logo, even if the overall design rocks.

So yeah I may buy the S5 this year :)
[General Topics] Captain Sweatpants:
Only problem I can see is the s5 has a monster ROM of about 8gb of bloatware I mean valuable and useful Samsung features

Programming is a race between engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
[General Topics] krnonthak0b:
personally as someone who has used an iphone and then a galaxy (s4 here) then a nexus device, I would stay away from the s5 unless you really really like touchwiz.

just personal preference but i never liked the bloated feel of touchwiz (lg Optimus UI... I'm looking at you too)

i love the iPhone in how everything just works well and is so thoughtfully designed whereas i love the amount of control i have to make my nexus 5 my own

samsung doesnt give you the same control as a nexus device, nor are their features as useful as an apple device so to me not worth the premium price tag you have pay.

I would definitely go with a Nexus 5.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] skullstrider:
In the hopes that this question may help others and not seeing this question being remotely asked from what i searched, Is it recommended to update to 4.4.2 KitKat or should I wait it out?

additional questions:

- is it better to flash it if i root my note 3? (MI7)

- should i root the note 3 at it's current version (4.3) and just stick to the roms currently available for it?

- most importantly, if i were to do the ota for 4.4.2 and root (with knox tripped) will i still be able to flash roms based on 4.4.2 (like cyanogenmod) without much problem?

things to know:

- I'm aware that installing the 4.4.2 update means i won't be able to revert back to 4.3.

- Mostly aware of the fact that a recovery is present for 4.4.2

- Not entirely sure if t-mobile locks their bootloaders on the new update. Some people on the forums hint that it's not locked but never really found a straight answer.

- Done a lot of forum digging but willing to search more if need be.

sincere apologies if my question sounds absurd and preposterous, however any answer is appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] d12unk13astard:
People have slightly mixed feelings on the update, but from what I'm seeing their mostly regretting taking the OTA or Odin flash and missing 4.3 JB. Though the new bootloader is not locked it would be better for you to just remain on 4.3 until devs can provide more support and information on the 4.4.2 official update. Besides as long as your on 4.3 you can still flash 4.4.2 roms and 4.3 roms you just need to follow instructions on the devs op. I myself opted to wait it out simply because my phone is flawless the way it is on 4.3 and there was not enough reason why 4.4.2 was a must have update, even if it was I still would have waited for the devs to do their thing first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Purest:
Yeah I want to upgrade because I heard they fixed the AVRCP and I use it a lot, I was so pissed that samsung botched that when the note 3 came out. Now I hear that all the music apps can send meta data now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Larry Page:
If you cherish tethering, do not update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BenGentle:
The short answer is no, and the long answer is hell no.

TWEAKED ROM has an update that stops the over-the-air (OTA) update. It's a separate zip with the mini-update.

While not exactly the same, "The More You Know...": http://dailycaller.com/2014/03/13/n...tadata-can-reveal-everything-about-your-life/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aznmode:
I finally took the plunge and rooted 4.3 and did the kitkat update while maintaining root so I can use the sd card write fix. My thoughts, is there is no advantage to kitkat but more disadvantages. I still get the occasional stutter and lag which rarely happened on JB so I broke even on that.

But I'm using Nova launcher and now home button does not take me to my default home screen. So I have to swipe to home screen since I have a folder in there for certain apps and games. Also the animation now just starts from the center when opening app from home screen.

The other issue is I use a samsung Gear and have it set to automatically unlock my phone when it's near it. But now I lost the ripple effect. I just get the lock icon with the 4 directional arrow around it.

There's also a slight battery drain. When I updated I didn't lose anything nor have I added any apps. Still trying to determine the cause on this one.

The worse part is I can't use foxfi anymore as it hasn't been updated to work with tmobile note3. Luckily I'm rooted so hopefully I can't find another way like Trev's wifi tethering.

If I could go back I would. I was pretty happy with JB unrooted. But I wanted to see if my signal would get better. I get an extra bar but when I go to see the signal status, it's still -115db when I'm at work.

The only thing I'm enjoying is finally I have root again which I could've done on JB. Being able to use titanium backup and LMT Pie again is awesome. I should've rooted sooner.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jdidtht:
Personally, for me, I feel that the KitKat update was beneficial in regards to battery life, and overall stability with ne6. The developers are obviously concentrating their efforts on the latest of updates. I recommend tweaked ROM as the features are endless, and the developer is a higher skilled one, unlike many that around. The boot loader are indeed not locked, and if you update to ne6 the latest KitKat, if you wanted you could back flash to nb4 kit kat, firmware and all, or just flash a nb4 based ROM in normal recovery, both work. Asop ROMs you will have no issue running either, as they are all unified, and are also based on KitKat.. Tethering, if you want the tethering i suggest a ROM, such as tweaked, and you will have that as well. Their are a lot of benefits man to updating, some may disagree, but their updates for a reason, stability, battery, modem, partitions, just an overall better experience. If you want a solid KitKat experience the way touch wiz should have been, with some awesome themes check out Wally's themes in the theme section and go ahead and hit me up for a tweaked alpha, or join the irc channel within dwitherells thread itself. Super helpful people. Willing to lend a hand. Good luck man.

I'm not quite sure what your talking about, but once you are rooted, and your device status is modified you automatically won't get the otas. Not just tweaked, but any ROM, including stock rooted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aznmode:
It seems beneficial to you since you're using custom rom. I'm on kitkat rooted but knox has not been tripped and still "official" so I'm not gonna put custom rom and break warranty. I can still unroot.

My understanding is even if you have custom recovery you can't go back to 4.3 if your bootloader is upgraded to 4.4.

So for now my recommendation for anyone thinking of upgrading is stick to 4.3. Specially if you are running stock or just rooted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MasterKaiser:
Still running 4.3 with Embryo ROM and runs flawless!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] icenight89:
Don't update, run an aosp 4.4.3 ROM on your 4.3 boot loader, nuff said
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] StAlphonso:
how can you do this? Im currently stock rooted 4.3 MI7 with knox 0x0. I thought you needed to update the bootloader to flash any 4.4 rom? If not, can I flash a rom using Mobile Odin Pro or safestrap or something without installing a custom recovery or kernel? Or do I pretty much have to trip knox to flash a 4.4 custom rom and keep the 4.3 bootloader?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] hnkotnis:
Hi Everyone!

My question is can you install kernel (that is boot.img) with ADB?

I don't want responses like use SGY Toolkit (I know it can flash kernel but it does not use ADB), or use chamatht kernel restore, Kernel Backup/Restore.

I want this to be done by ADB,

because I don't want to wear and tear hardware buttons in recovery.

I have a idea, but I don't know if this works. Can someone test this and tell me?

NOOBS DON'T TRY THIS. THIS IS NOT CHILDS PLAY.

adb push boot.img /sdcard/hnk
adb shell
$ su
# stop
# dd if=/sdcard/hnk/boot.img of=/dev/block/bml7
# reboot

Can someone tell me is this proper way? Or suggest any other new working way.

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] hnkotnis:

There are n00bs who suggest such things. They don't bother what they type.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] hnkotnis:
I appreciate your help.

But you have found wrong answer.

This has Fastboot.

Samsung phones are not compatible with fastboot.

In that method you need to go to bootloader menu (NOT AVAILABLE IN SAMSUNG)

In that method command is

fastboot flash [COLOR=red][U]boot[/U][/COLOR] boot.img

This flashes boot.img to boot partition (red coloured in above command)

But it is not for SGY.

Have you tried the code I have mentioned above? (OF COURSE AT YOUR OWN RISK)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] abhishekr700:
maybe this is suitable
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] hnkotnis:
I told you.

I have already searched shell and Android Debugging Bridge commands before asking a question in XDA Forum.

This does not work.

I think I will have to wait till someone tries my ADB commands set.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tharaka:
Even though there are a lot of people out there with the same problem, I cant see a viable fix other than to re-format the card?

My question is, why after the update? It ran fine in the same phone when I was running 4.1.2

I saw in a post that making a file named .nomedia in the sdcard will prevent the media check. Will this prevent apps like movies and photos from finding out new files as well?

For whats worth my sd card is 16GB and is a Transcend C6
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DariusVE:
I have the same problem on my Xperia TX since 4.3 upgrade.

I read a post on the official sony support page, and they recommend reformat the sd to exFAT format, but after doing that the problem persists...

Any clue?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] arturiu:
Take the SD card out, and check it's filesystem with a PC.

Also, make sure that the card is well inserted in the slot, because the V has a rather loose socket for the SIM and SD, and you may have bad contact on it.

Many users got this due to bad "sectors" in the SD, which is a common problem due to the technology being used (it doesn't like too many re-writes in the same memory region).

Sometimes, the only fix is to get another SD...

Good luck, mate.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DariusVE:
Thanks for your reply.

When the phone detects the card it sees as 16gb (actually 14GB), but when I check it on my pc it says that it's a 30MB card.

The card worked fine until the 4.3 android upgrade.

I think it's dead....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cht64bit:
No, try to format using your pc, but use another filesystem , than reformat into your phone

Inviato dal mio LG-V500 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DariusVE:
After trying in several OS and phones my final conclusion it's that the 4.3 upgrade fried my 16GB sd card...

It was working flawlessly on my old Blackberry 9930 for almost a year an then on my TX since July 2013 until I updated my phone to 4.3 in february.

At the official Sony support forum there are many complains about this issue and the official Sony Statement it's something like: "**** happens", they don't care about the money you spend replacing your SD nor your data.

I think we should raise our voices and get a better solution for this problem...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] arturiu:
Actually the card may have fried due to too many overwrites in the same memory region.

It's a problem of the SD technology. Actually it could also happen on a cheap SSD drive if it's firmware doesn't do realtime remapping.

And SD cards are even more prone to this...

Don't blame on the OS upgrade, because it could happen anytime if massive rewrites are performed.

If you check Samsung's and other forums, they also have their fair part of similar issues.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DariusVE:
I know that it maybe caused by errors on the technology, but it's a big coincidence that after updating the os from 4.1.2 to 4.3 the card start to fail, go to the Sony support forum and you will see a lot of complains on Z, V, T, TX, S models after the upgrade.

My sd isn't a cheap model, it cost to my $30 when I bought it 2 years ago, Sandisk 16GB Class 4 SDHC.

I think it's something related to the SD support on the 4.3

Hi everyone there!

I'm developing android app kinda "speed reader" right now. It contains intro tutorial with some text written by me, but such a pity,

my English is not as good as I could wish, so I need some help in case of correcting mistakes.

Could anyone take a look and tell what I have to correct, please?

Here is the text:

Welcome to Sprint Reader. This intro will show all the abilities of speed reading to you! We are starting now at 250 words per minute. It's already faster then the average reading speed of 200 words per minute. Tap to go faster when you get used to this speed.

==============

With this app you can also save your time using Read From Clipboard Feature. Just copy any text from your internet browser and press Read from clipboard Button in this App! With very short practise you will be able to read medium size article in 4 minutes when the others need minimum 15 minutes for it. Or even faster.

==============

Well, you are doing pretty good now! Just imagine how fast could be reading process for you.

If you reading words hardly now, just try to relax and consume every word you see. Do not try to pronounce the words in your head. Feel a sence of the text you see.

You can read all the necessary literature spending much less time. Philosophy, psychology, since, management. Even superficial reading of all this books will improve your personality and create new horizons in life and work for you.

Now lets try even faster speed. Tap next step when you get ready.

==============

Wow! Look at this. If you can read that text - it means your reading ability has reached a new step. If it's too fast for now - go back to previous speed and get used to it.

At the speed of 500 words per minute you are reading almost twice faster than the others do at this time. And this is not the limit. With practice you can make the speed of even 600 words per minute too easy for yourself.

Imagine, how comfortable is the abilty to read so fast. For example, for students or even for everyone who ever wanted to draw large amounts of knowledge in a short time.

Thanks in advance!

I'll be also glad to hear some tips what to add/replace it the text to improve it if you have any ideas.
