[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OfficerJimLahey:
I did a little more research...

Looks like MikTouch can encrypt the phone:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1613917&page=34

Mind you, I cannot be stuck with Gingerbread (company policy, and nor do I want to), so I would put CM9 back on afterwards. To do this, I would need TWRP Recovery (preferably installed before I go to MikTouch so I know it works) instead of CWM (to get over the SD card and encryption issue):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1917436

If the encryption fails, or is not what what I want in the end, can I just do a factory reset in HBOOT? If so, what will I be left with... stock or MikTouch?

Does this sound like a reasonable process? Am I missing anything?

Side note: I have to be very careful with the process, as I use the same SD card as my previous Doubleshot (looks to be same radio and HBOOT version), and I left RUU on the card by mistake. I found that HBOOT scooped it up once, but called the file corrupt, so it looks like I am unable to go back to true stock with this phone.

Thanks for any pointers.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OfficerJimLahey:
Solved! (Sorta)

Okay, so I learned a few things.

MikTouch does not have whole phone encryption as an option in security settings. I looked things up, and neither would stock. The encryption possibility is there, but only if ActiveSync invokes it.

Wait a tick ... I have ActiveSync under accounts now! So I tried this, and was able to connect (looks like a minimum OS version of 3.0 wasn't a hard requirement) without encrypting (worst I had to do was set a PIN). So not what I was expecting. I did some digging online, to see if ActiveSync is available for CyanogenMod, and there were posts about it being used in later versions.

Since I don't remember it being in my CM9.1 build, I thought I'd try 10.1 since it was already on my SD card. ActiveSync wasn't there, but Corporate was. So I tried that. After some issues with certificates, I managed to get it to work. I now have work emails and calendar items on my phone! Finally!

So the encryption part is still a mystery, but since I got my primary goal accomplished, I'm not too bothered to figure the rest out.

Just came from the rezound, upgraded to HTC one. The phone is only a week old, all stock, the data doesn't seem to be working right. Always getting connection timeout or just sits there, arrows on top don't even light up. I've gone thru 4 gigs in less than a week and I haven't done anything. Everything is unsynced and background data is restricted. Called Verizon and got some girl who wouldn't do anything but have me take out the SIM card. Any fix or any suggestions? I can also still return the phone, I'm still under the 14 day trial.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Halfhoff:
This is the second time this happened to me. The first time I remedied the matter with a hard reset.

I recently upgraded my ROM to the 2.24 version (thanks by the way). This evening I was installing a number of third party programs on my 8125 when I had one program not install. After that, I lost my activesynce connections (I was still connected but I could no longer sync and all of my contacts, emails, etc. were not showing). Also, I am unable to install (or remove) any .cab files. When I go into my settings > system > remove programs, NO programs show up there. Last night, the programs I had installed were there.

I have soft reset my device and rebooted my computer. Nothing happened. I deleted my device on both my computer and on the 8125 and resynced but nothing happened. The last time this happened I tried the install / unitstall process of Activesync and could never get it working.

I am just sick about this.

Can someone tell me why I can no longer install or remove .cab files and why my programs do not show up in the 'remove programs' screen?

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Halfhoff:
Adding to my post...

I should say that I have Activesync 4.2 beta installed. I also note that in the Settings > System > Remove Programs it shows "Total storage memory available: " In other words it shows nothing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datallboy:
I bought a nexus 5, should arrive this week, to be activated on straight talk. Being a nexus 7 owner, I already know how custom Roms and kernels can help the device be more speedy.

Since the nexus 5 is already a fast device, is a custom ROM really needed? Or would xposed framework modules be sufficient enough along with optimized bionic and dalvik patches.

As for kernels, same question. I don't intend on over clocking, but is there any other advantage?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zubsz:
For me I'm happy with stock rooted plus xposed. I removed the optimized bionic and dalvik patches as I couldn't run asphalt 8 without it.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
After getting the device a couple months ago, I was on stock with xposed and franco for the first month. I decided to try out some custom ROMs but ultimately came back to stock. Xposed gives me all the customization I need.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgates:
Xpose FTW!

I've had my Nexus 5 for about 2 weeks now. I previously had a Samsung Galaxy S4 that was rooted with Xposed & Wanam Xposed and several other modules. When I came to Nexus 5, I unlocked the bootloader, but haven't flashed any other ROMs yet. I am running stock KitKat with Xposed & GravityBox installed. I am loving it. Also using a few other xposed modules like Crappalinks, etc. Gravitybox does about everything I need and I think I am about to donate to get the newly added "light flow" like features. Great Module!

I am also running the Franco Kernel & have installed the optimized Dalvik & Bionic. Phone is smooth as butter. Of course I'm using the Donation version of Greenify also. I've read up on quite a few Custom ROMs, but right now I don't see any major advantage to flashing one. Gravitybox & other Xposed modules give me all I need. Samsungs Knox & and AT&T's locked bootloader drove me away from the S4. Even though I don't have a custom ROM right, I always have the option if something great comes out. N5 is great because it's so open. Custom Recovery was a big deal for me also. TWRP all the way! Good luck with the phone when it arrives. You are going to love it!

- Jeremy
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datallboy:
Thanks for all the feedback.

Not really trying to initiate a "best ROM" thread, just seeing if custom Roms are worth it.

On my nexus 7 I've found stock, elementalx kernel for OC, xposed, and the optimized patches worked best. Wasn't sure if this was also true for the nexus 5.

Looking forward to the phone!

No more XML tho... you will have alot more freedom also with CSS. I can hardly wait to get my grubby hands on a gear 2 to tear it down.

Think of it as a OS level zooper widget.. going to be epic.

//add eventListener for tizenhwkey
window.addEventListener('tizenhwkey', function (e) {
if (e.keyName == 'back') {
tizen.application.getCurrentApplication().exit();

i just dont like samsung policy. their updates are constantly broken, and you can't simply do downgrade.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valerboni:
Im not good in english but i can try.

I had ur same problem.

1) if u can let the pc recognize ur device as adb ( check it with right click on "computer" icon on your desktop ,manage , and search for the list of ur computer's devices), go on your twrp and in andvanced options put the phone as adb sideload , and don t touch it anymore. Then download "minimal adb and fastboot " (search in xda forum ) install the .exe ,open the folder installation,and right click on a any white space in the folder and start command prompt. Write adb devices to check if ur g2 is recognized by the pc. If it is all fine,frome there u can easy flash a rom (that u sould paste in the "minimal adb &fastboot " installation folder ) by tipyng adb sideload urRomName.zip then try to reboot.

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

Another possibility is using the usb-otg option , that can let u to copy any roms from an external usb plugged in your phone.

Actually i don t know how i did my pc recognize my g2 as adb. It just happened plugging the phone. Maybe i had some drivers already installed.

USB-OTG INFO

1)put the rom and gapp in ur usb key, eventually download the right kernel zip too .

2)plug the usb-otg. Wait for few seconds, and in the twrp menu -->mount-->usb-otg.

3) come back in the main twrp screen, click on install and scroll untill u see the usb-otg folder.
