[General Questions and Answers] sayedjunedalam:
I have a custom decoder, which is currently not supported by the android multimedia framework. Now, I would like to integrate it to Android's multimedia framework.

I got to know the basics that i need. First of all i need to integrate my codec into Jelly Bean. I have downloaded the android source code and added my Decoder information in media_codecs.xml a code snippet of it is shown below:

<Decoders>

<MediaCodec name="OMX.CustomDecoder.DECODER" type="video/avc" >

<Quirk name="requires-allocate-on-input-ports" />

<Quirk name="requires-allocate-on-output-ports" />

</MediaCodec>

.

.

.

Once i have done the above,

What I'm thinking is, in which directory of the android source tree should I add the source code of my customDecoder.

Once I have added my customDecoder code, in which place should I give commands/ write make file to compile my source code.

Which functions invoke my decoder source code(Does the softomxplugin source file invoke my decoder ?).

And atlast when everything has been successfully build and compiled, if i want to add libstagefright.so to the hardware, what should be the steps to be performed.

Any experts who know something about my queries, please please answer them.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sazsxm:
I rooted my i9500.

I flashed CM ROM and encrypted my device.

Later I updated my CM ROM using recovery mode.

When I powered on my device I was asked to enter my encryption password.

After taht I am stuck at the Android logo (decrypting logo).

I tried the following using recovery mode:

- I wiped /data

- I wiped cache

- I wiped Dalvik cache

- I set it to factory settings

All this didn't help.

I found 2 (for me not working) solutions:

mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12

and

mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p15

No success.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thank you in advance!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaaXo:
The logic when booting is that vold tries to mount /data and if that fails, tries to read the master key from the crypto footer, setup decryption and then tries to mount it again.

So, formatting /data should be enough, but I think simply using the 'wipe' options from most recovery will only try (and fail) to delete files on the previously mounted filesystem. I don't know which partition is mounted as /data on your device, but the CM tree for i9500 suggests it's mmcblk0p21, not 12 or 15.

follow the recovery thread, you need to put your phone on download mode and flash an ftf.

follow this.

The HARD WAY:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2015408

Follow the guide until they disconnect the battery flex cable.

Afterwards connect your phone(flex cable still disconnected) to pc(you should get a red led, xcant remember if blinking or not)

Now hold vol up(or down, or whichever takes you to flash mode) and reconnect the battery flex cable.

IF it worked you should now be on flash mode.

I had to do this once myself with my ion so i know it works.

did the rubberband trick and it got me out of boot loop but it gave me a blank screen that is on so i plugged in my charger to try discharging it that way as the recovery thread suggested so i hope i get somewhere *fingers crossed
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
I'm hoping this is just an issue with Mahdi rom, and considering i went through 50 reviews of beautiful widgets on the play store from the N5 and i didn't see a single complaint about this.

Every single skin i download for beautiful widgets is displayed wrong. all of the background images are either distorted, scaled wrong so you can't see them, or flat out missing. I've confirmed it on over 50 skins.

As far as i can tell it does not seem to be an issue with the app even though i've uninstalled/reinstalled 3 times, but looking at reviews i see no complaints of this. I also have no issues on my N4 or N7. So my only last idea is that it's something wrong with my N5, my Rom, or something i can't think of yet. Looking for any help and ideas here. Going to try flashing a new rom later but i wanted to post hoping maybe someone has experienced this before and knows what to do as i'd like to stick with my current rom if i can.

*edit* here is a visual of the problem:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Have you got a screenshot?

for me the only issue I have is the top and right of each skin is "cut off" however, I have worked around this by changing to "full icon"
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
here ya go. first pic is the skin in the store and what it is suppose to look like and then what it actually looks like on my phone. The stock default clock works but nothing else.

uploaded to imgur to get full quality. As you can see both the clock background and full backgroud have been stretched out all the way instead of how they should actually look
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I only use weather so its probably a bad comparison.

I honestly cant see what's wrong though...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
Not sure how you can't, the first image, shows what the skin is suppose to look like, the second image shows it displayed. Everything is being scaled out to the edges instead of sitting there normally.

This isn't the skin i use just an example to show it. Other skins go solid white or are missing pieces, most just do this, all of the details are pushed out to the very edges. I mean, just look at it, it's obviously not the same and the first image is what it's suppose to look like.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The only difference I can see is that one has rounded edges and one square. I can't see any "over scaling" and because they'll be patch9 images, I wouldnt expect to :/

Edit > oh and the sun is higher.

Think I'll let someone else help as I cant see an issue
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
All you have to do is look at the background of the time images, on the home screen the 3 pages are pushed all the way out to the edge, on the sample they are layered.

hopefully this will explain it, i honestly don't know what i can say beyond this.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
I finally did manage to find their support but considering i looked through over 2 dozen reviews specifically from N5 owners and haven't seen a single complaint i'm assuming this is on MY end and nothing to do with the app itself. i just have no possible idea what could be wrong from my end.

For example if I install nullKb, it installs fine and even shows in the list of avaliable SIPs but I can never select it instead it just defaults back to keyboard.

I have even tried installing a Chinese SIP just to see if it works and I get the same results.

So I'm having issues with google now and reminders.

Be it manually entering or by voice, it shows the reminder saving, but then never appear in my upcoming reminders list.

And obviously, no reminder is played when the time or location comes.

I'm running stock note 2 rooted.

I tried updating to the 4.4 google search along with the launcher, but that didnt fix the issue. So I revert back.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dragonash:
Well, I decided to upgrade (complete wipe) and using a new rom.

Reminders still do not work.

They do work in google Keep ... which is only a work around. However, I found out something interesting.

#1 - I'm not the only one having this problem. And it seems to be random, across multiple devices, including iOS.

#2 - I tried logging into google now with my other google account and it worked!

So something is up between the google account and Now's sync... I can only assume.

Does anyone know of a setting withing gmail or your google account that can cause problems? I tried comparing my two accounts, but couldnt figure it out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Sounds like a Google issue for sure. I'd report it to them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thanadams:
Experiencing the same problem

I am having PRECISELY the same issue. It started at random, but now my Google account will not display notifications for reminders. One day they were all working perfectly. The next day, they all just stopped cold turkey.

I used my backup Gmail account, and BAM they worked! Just for that account however. After I switched back to my primary Gmail account, they still would not work. I tried so many roms and methods, but I can only conclude that it must be a google account problem. I have been all over Google Dashboard and through every single setting.

I am running the Galaxy Note 3 on T-mobile (hltetmo) with JediElite 4.4.2. Has anyone experienced the same issue?

Thank guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dragonash:
UPDATE:

After starting to look again (and actually coming across my own question on google lol) I got it working!

It must have been an update that changed or even added the option.

Just for the hell of it, i was going through the "customize" options and found "Continue to get reminders"

IT was set to "no"

As soon as it turned to yes, all of my test reminders showed up.

recap:

open Google Now > select the "magic wand" on the bottom right > Select Everything Else > set "Continue to get reminders" to yes

Hi everybody !

I have installed openvpn on my rooted galaxy note 3 with kitkat XEF

I can't change the DNS to my private or google DNS. The default dns (4G or wifi) will not accessible from the vpn.

I've tried setprop of all dns options and many apps such as: switchDns, dnsChanger, change my dns,DNSet etc ... nothing

I've tried the button fixdns on openvpn application. It has no effect.

The tools nslookup and firefox can resolve a web site. However all another application have the problem (opera, facebook, foursquade, ...).

When I use DNS lookup, I can set different dns to test it. google has no records with default DNS.

But it found ip with 8.8.8.8 or my private dns with same application.

I don't know why.

It's very frustrating.

Thanks in advance for your ideas.

ps : I'm sorry, but a moderator could move this message un galaxy note 3 QA forum please ? I don't see the delete button to do it myself.

[Solved]

Hello, everybody !

I fund the solution of my problem.

In fact the galaxy note 3 (and another product, I guest) have hotspot in 192.168.43.0/16.

Even if it is disabled, my phone can't resolve with 192.168.43.1 dns ip. This ip was my first vpn dns.

I suppose that is hard coded somewhere as one of dns. Because my search with grep returns many binary files and my openvpn log and ping of this ip receives nothing, when the hotspot is off.

Maybe it special thing due to the samsung overlay. Because this configuration has work for my HTC Desire HD.

Anyway, I changed my network address in vpn and it magicaly works.

I hope this problem and this solution can be helpfull.

Good bye.
[General Questions and Answers] d8d8up:
Hi there, just want to share my thoughts on this as well.

i am on RR kitkat ROM (SGS2), i had a related issue in that it has hard coded 8.8.8.8 as DNS and as a result, i can not use most open/free wifi, the authentication/term and condition page will not come up...

with some research, i found that in /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks/, there is this file called 20-dns.conf, in there, you may find there are 2 line similar to this

setprop dhcp.eth0.dns1 8.8.8.8

setprop dhcp.eth0.dns2 8.8.8.4

once i remove these lines, public wifi works for me again. not too sure why this was done in some custom ROMs of late...

So I tried the Moonraker Rom yesterday, was awesome IMO. I just had one issue, when I would reboot my phone it would register my battery as dead and shut off before reaching the UI. But if I plugged it in, turned it on, then unplugged it it would read the correct percentage and stay that way until reboot. Is there a fix for this floating around? Kinda reminds me of the depressing "iOS x.x.xx tethered jb" days lol. Thanks in advance :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Muhff:
Yes, no, maybe so? I'm currently using "dr no v3.0" and its great. Smooth, reliable, fast. But I would really like to experiment with the moonraker rom, just don't want to deal with the battery issue, am I the only one having it?

I've installed the latest Tmobile 4.4.2 Firmware via SamMobile. I came from M17 4.3. Updated via Odin to Tmobile 4.4.2, I then rooted via CF Auto root (Don't care about Knox at this point) successfully and following that flashed Philz recovery with success.

Everything is all good, as I am familiar with other devices and rooting and booting into recovery. At this point I downloaded the latest SlimKat and Lean Kernel to flash onto my system. Reboot into recovery, flash is a success, however when I reboot the system I start to get a bootloop saying Kernel is not seandroid enforcing set warranty bit: Kernel..I've tried to JUST flash SlimKat with the same results. Following this It continues to bootloop so I am forced to Odin from my PC back to Tmobile stock 4.4.2.

Can someone assist me with a solution? TL:DR, Custom ROMs/Kernels are not allowing me to boot due to Kernel is not seandroid enforcing set warranty bit: Kernel bootloop
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hey_joe:
My guess would be that slimkat doesn't support 4.4 bootloader yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] t3tr1s_:
Oh wow, if it was that simple the whole time..Lol, is there a list of ROMs that do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Compusmurf:
Custom kernels will ALWAYS show that on boot.

Dev's turn off the SEANDROID permission crap because not all root apps deal with that permission properly.

Bootloop on the other hand would be a different issue doubtfully related to this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hey_joe:
You have to read the op of the rom you're interested in. If it doesn't say it supports both bootloaders then it's most probably for 4.3 bl only.

Anthem here says it supports both bl.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] t3tr1s_:
I'm confused, can a 4.4.2 ROM only be on a 4.3 BL?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hey_joe:
I am not a technical person but how I understand it is that custom recovery/rom flashes doesn't load/replace the bl.

Cm and aosp-based roms were dev'd for 4.3 until a month or two ago when they start supporting both bl and even then not all roms do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Compusmurf:
Yes, it sure can.

If you're fully upgraded to the KK package completely, ex: through odin, you have to use a KK rom that has the 4.4.2/Kernel bootloader components.

If you don't fully want to commit to KK completely you can flash a KK rom that has a kernel with the older boot loader. That will allow you to go back to 4.3.

I suspect given time, 4.3 support will be slowly dropped in favor of a full KK implementation on this forum. In the transition period, be careful what you pick and choose to install.

I, like many others, have gone full KK inc. bootloader, etc for full compatibility with everything. When you go full update, you get the updated firmware and bits for the modems, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] t3tr1s_:
Thank you very much for all your help, it was the bootloader issue. Just me not reading into things fully, very glad that I asked. I am now running Beanstalk on my Note!

Now that I have all of that cleared up, my next question is the S-PEN. I'm assuming all CM/AOSP ROMs will not support it, thus making me switch to TouchWiz. Is that true? Or are there Apps that I can still use in conjunction with my S-PEN?

As far as TouchWiz is concerned, is Xnote updated to the KK BL and compatible with our Tmobile version? I searched the thread but did not find any answer. If not, what is a suitable replacement to maintain funcionality of the S-PEN while having bloatware removed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Compusmurf:
There are apps but it won't give you the full Samsung spen experience like on stock.
