Follows my contribution to safestrap menu. Same concept with background variations.

Original size here.

To change safestrap menu:

> Root access in "File Manager" (look for in settings);

> Choice the image and rename it to "background-def.png";

> Go to: "system\bootstrap\images" and overwrite the image;

> Just reboot and see! :highfive:

Thought I'd throw something into the mix. I can't really take much credit for this, it's basically the design [MENTION=5546619]Saturnal[/MENTION] posted, with the updated Moto logo and the all important "+" for those of us with a Defy Plus. Excuse the drunken photoshopping, might actually contribute something worthwhile at a later date.

So.. Something is amiss.. Saved every image from [MENTION=5546619]Saturnal[/MENTION] and they seem to be in .jpeg not .PNG.. Tried converting to png on my PC but then the image shown no bigger than 5x3mm in boot. What am i doing wrong? Can i use it as background-def.jpeg?

Edit: solved the issue by using easy image reziser for android. :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bgduece22:
I currently have a rooted HTC Evo 4G LTE with Sprint, the contract is over and Sprint no longer wants to offer unlimited data. So it is time for me to find a new provider, a new phone.

Which provider has the best 4G LTE signal, which would be the best phone.

My requirements are that the phone be able to be rooted, and that I have control of the bootloader.

As far as I know HTC is the only bootloader that you can have control.

I think I want to go with T-Mobile, since they have a sensible unlimited plan...which would be the best phone for this project.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
I switched over to T-Mobile and a n5. Fabulous coverage and insane speeds. Although of course T-Mobile coverage isn't as great as Verizon and AT&T. Check sensorly for your area. But I do highly recommend T-Mobile. Also, Nexus boot loader isn't controllable. But the amount of development for the device is through the roof. If you're a flashaholic like me, then the n5 is the phone for you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joshuaw84:
Why is sprint making you change your plan? Did you go to the store? Because upgrading doesn't always entail a new plan, if you went to the store they may be trying to sell you more than the phone. Just my 2 cents.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
Maybe they were promoting their new Easy Pay plans.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Sounds like it.

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MFOsaka:
That's exactly what they're doing. However, contact Sprint before you purchase a new phone and inform them that you would like to be grandfathered into your old plan. From what I was told, this can be done, but only BEFORE you purchase a new phone.

Given, you'll still deal with the Easy Pay, but same plan. You could also possibly just get your phone from Best Buy Mobile and still get a phone under the normal discounted rates for a two year plan.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
I've heard that the Easy Pay is the new plan for everyone, and Sprint with no longer issue contracts, but month-to-month service. Payments for your phone will be divided over a course of 2yrs, I think, but it is not the same as an actual plan. You will have to pay the remaining balance for you phone as opposed to a termination fee.

I'm not sure how I feel about that...they told me that I can upgrade through Easy Pay, but I need to speak to them in person to find out the actual details and the benefits.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GuestK0087:
From what I've just experienced, you don't have to do easy pay. I changed my plan to the new "my way" plan and I can get my upgraded device anyway I want. I could use easy pay or purchase it outright at the discounted rate. I also have the option to use a third party vendor, like wirefly or on Amazon, which is what I'm doing. With easy pay, as it was explained to me by sprint rep, you pay a small amount up front. Then they bill you monthly, over 24 months and you end up paying full (non discounted) price for the device you choose. But I didn't have to change my plan, I chose to.

EVOlved human
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Easy Pay sounds similar to the now-defunct "One-Up" plan. I believe you had to pay the taxes on the full, non-discounted price up front when upgrading, and then paying for the phone over the next two years, as I recall. Any remaining balance at the end of the two year period had to be paid in full.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yorisou:
I'm kind of hesitant to switch to another carrier mainly because of what is going on with a merger between them and T-mobile. T-mobile recently bought all of Verizon's 700MHz bandwidth, meaning better LTE coverage for Sprint as soon as the merger goes through, if it goes through at all.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
I am skeptical about the success of the merger. Sprint will finally be a powerhouse, and I don't think that the regulators want that to happen.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
I'm curious about what all the last 2 posters are privy to. I'm about to upgrade my device, and when I look on sprint site, it would be only 100$ for n5 or HTC One. But I went to sprint store and it was 50$ + 16/no and get 12/mo upgrade, but will also F up all other lines on my family plan. I don't wanna pay monthly for device, I wanna pay up front and forget about it, but I do want 12moupgrades.

All that said,on a 25mi trip, I just compared my LTE speed tests with my girls tmo speed tests, and hers were consistently higher than mine. And her device is a 4yr old pyramid that doesn't even have radios to accept tmo LTE. But hers kicked my ass. I wanna hear from anyone who has ideas on how to test them, or any secret info about why they think sprint may be about to be awesome. Again, while my LTE service speed tested about 3mbps on avg, her old tmo (no LTE) consistently got way better than my LTE in same places.

Word love tohearsome thoughts,cuz I'm ready to jump ship.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
My thoughts on this: if the merge was ever to come to pass, then you would technically be starting over as a new customer with Sprint. While I don't think that the merge will be successful, just keep that in the back of your mind.

More importantly, how is voice service with Tmo compared to Sprint? Which had more dead/low signal zones? And which device gives you better service at home? Yes, data is vital, but these are still phones, primarily. You have no idea how much you need good voice service until it starts to mess up, then you'll wish that you didn't make the jump.

Try using different apps, like SignalCheck Lite from the play store to compare the signal difference in various locations. Use both phones to leave voicemails on a third phone (land line or cell phone, doesn't matter), and replay both to see which is clearer. This last test will be a little skewed, of course, since you are using two different devices, and your LTE has newer tech inside it.

Lastly, if you want to make the jump, just take the time to test the Tmo network (or any other network) before you decide. This is not the type of mistake that you will want to regret. On another note, if the money being saved is worth the potential aggravation, then go for it. I'm not bashing Tmo in any way whatsoever, for I have been considering making the jump as well, but I'm quite comfortable with my Sprint service, and the repair center that I go to tends not to ask too much questions. Just don't bring them a rooted phone, and all is well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Appreciate the lengthy feedback. My nearest sprint repair center loves seeing the cool sh1t on the ROMs I bring in, lol. Lucky me. That said, tmo looks like it'd be a little cheaper, not much. But their data speeds, even on 3g are 20x faster than the LTE I get from sprint. So many pros, so many Con's. Actually, they'll pay my etf, and there aren't many Con's. Prob be switching soo. And yearly upgrades, which I like. That said, I like that sprint leans on OEMZs t9 get the hardware they know customers want.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
You've sparked my interest. How does T-Mobile do data? Is it truly unlimited? Or do they cap your speed after a certain usage?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mystery?:

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neu - smurph:
Hey all,

Anyone noticed any recent abnormally high background data utilisation from Android OS (both wifi and mobile?).

UK XT1032, 16GB stock unrooted Tesco firmware currently on 176.44.1. Hangouts, Migrate, Google+, Google Play Music, Google Play Movies & TV, Google Play Games, Google Play Books, & Chrome all disabled. Google Backup and Automatic Restore are on, all of the other Google Services set to Sync automatically. I use Firefox as my browser (with a sync to my laptop Firefox).

I've looked back on the data records for my phone and it looks like the problem started around the 25th of February. This roughly coincides to the last OTA to 176.44.1 which I'm pretty sure I got on the 26th or 27th. The most recent Google Play Services (4.4.43) installed on 1/3/14. The only other thing I can think of is K9 Mail which I installed on the 24th, although I'm struggling to see how a User app could show data used under Android OS.

I've checked my other half's Moto G (8GB UK version - O2 variant, stock unrooted) and she hasn't got this showing up at all. I've compared Sync/Backup settings between the two phones and they are the same, and other than Chrome she has pretty much the same stuff disabled. She doesn't use Firefox, and uses the stock email app with an exchange account.

Wifi

View attachment 2627939View attachment 2627934

16/1/14 to 13/2/14 - 311MB (so about 11MB day)

13/2/14 to 25/2/14 - 71.2MB ( about 6 MB day)

25/2/14 to 13/3/14 - 0.93GB ( about 55MB per day) :eek:

Mobile Data

15/1/14 to 15/2/14 - 70.19MB ( about 2.5MB per day)

15/2/14 to 25/2/14 - 21.14MB (about 2MB per day)

25/2/14 to 13/3/14 - 275MB (about 16MB per day) :eek:

Possible solutions to try

1) Get rid of K9 email for a while (I use it because the stock email app appears to be incompatible with my talktalk.net ISP email account - it receives but can't send).

2) Cache Wipe in Recovery (although I'm pretty sure I've done this once since the last OTA)

3) Remove and then re add my gmail account.

4) Factory Reset.

Before I commence anyone else experiencing this problem, or even better has had the problem and solved it!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogeriorp:
Indeed I have the same issue, the one thing I believe that fixed it was turning off Google backup but I am not sure if is a permanent fix or a fix at all, since I renabled it. Try it!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neu - smurph:
Thanks, switched off Google Backup this morning, and that seems to have sorted it. Android OS only used 336KB of mobile data over 10 hours or so. I'll try and re-enable it later and see what happens.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neu - smurph:
Bah! :rolleyes:

Turned Google Backup back on just before bed (thinking that 6-7 hours on wifi before going to work would be enough for it to do an initial backup) and then headed for work yesterday- Android OS chewed through another 20MB of mobile data in less than 2 hours.

So a simple disable/re-enable isn't the solution. I'll think I'll go for a Factory Reset. Checked my dates again and the problem definitely coincides with the OTA to 176.44.1 - I got it on the 25th.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neu - smurph:
Issue solved. Nothing to do with the OTA after all, although the factory reset gave me a valuable clue, when I noticed one of the things restored after a factory reset was my static wallpaper.....so Google Backup and Restore backs up the wallpaper, and I've an automation app installed set up to regularly refresh my wallpaper from the gallery. I created the routines on the 24th. Doh. Backup has been uploading multiple wallpapers everyday.

Tested today with the wallpaper switcher disabled and Backup and Restore enabled - no crazy data use and even better battery life than usual. Wallpaper switcher enabled and Backup and Restore disabled all is also fine. Both enabled gives crazy Android OS data use and noticeably more battery drain.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codecxbox:
I recently bought a Note 3 SM-N9008W of Claro PR which is loaded with the TELCEL 4.4 KitKat firmware. The guy who sold me the cel told me that as a result of flashing that firmware, it didnt have baseband and imei. So after reading a lot, I decided to give EFS Pro a shot. EFS Pro has a option to restore NVRAM, so I did that and after rebooting, I got the TELCEL baseband and a imei

Problem is that the imei on the firmware is not the same as the one on the back label. I used the Phone Info app, and everything looks ok for Telcel except that the Mobile Provider ID is Claro and there is no RIL serial number.

Any help? I dont have a EFS backup and Knox is 0x1.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AssassinsLament:
I wanted a way to customize the battery percentage text without decompiling/compiling or replacing SystemUI,

so I decided to venture into learning how to develop an Xposed mod. All I can say is wow, such a powerful framework.

Anyways, here I present to you:

n3kkEd v1.0 (note 3 kitkat Exposed)

Prerequisites: Xposed Framework, Rooted, KitKat, Note3 (haven't tried other devices)

(Install, then enable in Xposed Modules, and then reboot. Run n3kkEd after the reboot and customize!

After customizing, save and then reboot to see the changes!)

What can n3kkEd do? Not much...

1) You can turn on and off the battery percent text.

2) You can choose which system font you want the percentage text to be.

2a) Examples: sans-serif, mono, roboto.

3) You can choose which color you want the percentage text to be.

3a) Color format is #AARRGGBB (alpha,r,g,b). Examples: #ff000000

I didn't put any error checking into this app, so if you end up with force closures, just clear n3kkEd's app cache

and start over. I probably won't be giving much support since this app is so basic,

so use this app at your own risk!

Enjoy!

Thanks go out to:
