[Omni Q&A] Badabing9111:
hi there,

thanks for the great omniROM, i use it a while now and I was never so happy with my Galaxy Note N7000!

running the latest 4.4.2 (20140329) and have a SDcard in slot working properly.

I upgraded from stock 4.1.2 and it was an better experience than ever before, but there is just one thing that bothers me: USB Connection

when I connect an USBStick via OTG or via USBcable to PC, the only thing that happens is charging. this appeared some while ago still in StockROM after excessive use of USBSticks (all FAT) and keyboards. I was hoping the rooting and upgrading to OmniRom would 'reset' this behaviour, but it didn't :( tried differend tools, some with SU and nothing worked.

so my questions is: how can I get into the PhoneUtil-menu in omnirom or the UART/USB option?

after researching some more, I found this similar case and (possible?) solution. i'm keeping some hopes in this to get USBtransfer working with USBsticks again:

........ GT-7000 USB Data connection not working

My phone was not detected as MTP by the computer.

My phone didn't detect that it was attached to a PC.

On my PC --It didn't work.

Another PC --It didn't work.

Even another PC --It didn't work.

Mac --It didn't work.

Tried all sorts of things written on many websites. --It didn't work.

There was no MTP option in the status bar. It just always charged using the PC.

THEN... Finally 1 day, when I was looking at the back of my CPU (PC ) I saw my USB 3.0 Ports (the Blue ones). I had never connected anything to them. So,

Tried on a USB 3.0 Port --It WORKED!

My phone was immediately detected as MTP. The option showed up in the status bar. I could transfer files. But then- What about my USB 2.0 Ports?

Then I did the following :

Dialed *#7248# for the PhoneUtil options.

Under 'UART' tap MODEM. Under USB, PDA.

If this is already your setting, choose the another ones (PDA for UART and MODEM for USB) and then tap SAVE and RESET.

Again dial *#7248# for the PhoneUtil options.

Under 'UART' tap MODEM. Under USB, PDA. Finally tap SAVE and RESET.

Your phone will now be detected as MTP with all types of USB Ports now.

thanks and best regards

hello all!

first of all i'd like to appologize for not posting in development, i posted les them 10 times.

well to get to the point,

i'm a noob in android programming ( have a basic python, html,css and verry basis PHP background though)

i'd like to make my own dashclock extention based on (star)date (not standerd layout) becouse the existing app uses a faulty date layout but that doesn't really matter here

i can get as far as implentating the dates (at least I hope).

can someone provide me with the rest of the coding and tell me where I should write it ?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elite001mm:
Hello, im hoping someone on here can help with this issue or at least give a direct answer as i have not been able to find one.

Also, im new to XDA and if im breaking etiquette or any rules, please tell me. Im here to learn and to help with what i can.

I own an LG g2 vs980. I have flashed various roms on it (all 4.4.2 Kit Kat to be specific) and in most of them i have noticed that instead of showing "3g" or "1x" in the status bar, the phone will show "r" for roaming. I am aware that the phone is not actually roaming, but i was wondering if i am the only one with this issue or if others are experiencing it and it just does not bother them. I am on the 12b baseband. If i have lte coverage, it will indicate lte as normal. Im using TWRP 2.7 if it matters but the problem presists on cwm. Im currently running

mahdi rom 2.5 2014318

without issue but if i upgrade to the next build the problem comes back. Cm 11 m4 also works fine as far as the signal issues go but mahdi has less bluetooth bugs and better battery life. Does anyone have any info on this false roaming issue?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smoller:
I just Rooted my Z1 Compact by this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2642081 and now I have 4.3 firmware UK. Now I have some questions:

1. When I check on phone if unlocking bootloader is possible, it says no. I haven't read that article about unlocking fully, but is there still any way to unlock it? Because, once Stable official CM comes out, I could install it.

2. When I check for software update, it says already latest, and doesn't provide KitKat(Don't forget I'm on UK rooted 4.3). Why? Also do I loose root if I update by official software?

3. As I said, once CM, stable comes out I will install it. But until then, I'm gonna stay on official firmware + root. What is simplest way to update to latest firmwares but still having root(or if really required, first updating, then rooting that latest firmware)?

I tried to be as straight as possible with my questions, and it would really mean a lot to me, any useful answers because I don't have much time for reading all those posts. Note that before this phone I had already Samsung galaxy mini with many roms, but for this phone it's much more complicated, so that's why I'm asking this all. Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
1. If you got your Phone from a provider then you're probably out of luck.

2. Should have used this instead if you want KK - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2688933

3. Read the forums with each new release, unless you unlock the BL you'll have to wait for a method like above.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smoller:
Well, yeah it's from T-mobile, so there is no way to unlock bootloader? Thanks for link, but is there any way to update just using phone? I have problems with PC, whenever PC detects flash drive inserted(my phone in flash mode) it freezes at the end of installation, so I have to flash on another PC, which is frustrating as I can do that like every 2 weeks(I have only 1 PC)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Unfortunately, no. I had my Z for about year living in hope but Sony have locked it down too much for the devs to crack, so I'll never get another Phone from a carrier again.

Modding the Phone breaks the OTA update service which is why, once you decide to start modding you're better off just flashing an .ftf to update.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevokOne:
Z1 compact from tmobile? or z1s? or you have a z1 compact on tmobiles network? If it says bootloader unlocked allowed: no, you cant unlock it and will not be able to install cm. Where did you get the phone from?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Correct me if I'm wrong but.... Xperia Z1 Compact is still not available in US much more on carriers like T-Mobile.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
If I guess correctly, 'bootloader unlocked allowed: No' should be stored in the TA partition. Maybe it's not so hard to find, if you compare two TA backups (one disallowed and one allowed). Is there any research done already about that?

[MENTION=5798044]Smoller[/MENTION] do you have a backup of your TA partition (DRM keys)?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
[MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION]

It's impossible by just comparing. I'm not sure if you still remember my reply on your bootloader unlocking thread but I posted there a comparison between 2 the same TA backup just between 2 reboots and the result was that they are very2 different from each other.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
What? You made a TA backup on your phone and after 2 reboots it was completetly different? No I've never seen a post like that, that sounds really weird.

I would really be interested to see this myself.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smoller:
Yes it says exactly bootloader unlock allowed: No. And I'm from Croatia so most likely it is also available in other Europe countries, especially UK...From T-Mobile...really weird it's not still on US Tmobile because this phone is made in January. And I can make a DRM backup if needed, if there might be any way to unlock bootloader. Also, just to be sure, if I input unlock SIM code for other carriers, it has still everything same except possibility to put SIM cards and use other carriers, right?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
[MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION]

:D You did forget it... Anyways here it is... 2 working TA backups made from the same version of Backup TA. What I only did between the 2 backups was

1. Make the 1st backup

2. Reboot the phone

3. Make the 2nd backup

And here are the results.

Please do note that I tried both TA backups and both of them are perfectly fine when restored on my phone. Also I made a 3rd TA backup and it's also very different from the last 2 backups which is shown in the screenshot.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
Isn't it only the log that changed? And the padding at the end? If not then I guess the partition is randomly encrypted and the key is stored inside the partition.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Nope! The log there is only like 4 lines. While the difference between both files are hundreds or even thousands of lines :p You could see the grey and yellow markings on the left. That should graphically show you what & how big the difference are between the 2 files.
[Moto X Q&A] Vandyyy:
I've googled up and down, left and right. I'm trying to find a way to hide my signal bars since I'm using tinted status bar and trying to keep my statusbar as minimal as possible. I'd prefer to avoid decompiling SystemUI.apk and replacing the icons with transparent pngs because I would still like for the signal to show if I look at quick settings tiles (99.9% of the time my signal is great, but I'd still like to know relatively quickly what's going on if a page is slow to load or something times out).

The closest I've seen so far is GravityBox (JB) or Eclipse. I'd rather not do GravityBox (JB) because, well, KitKat. Eclipse is almost perfect, but when WiFi is off/disconnected, the 4G/LTE/3G/1X icon lingers. The next closest I've seen is using Tinted Status Bar to color the icons fully transparent by default, but whether I set it to SRC_ATOP or MULTIPLY, it still defaults to white icons on some apps and gives a half-baked and inconsistent experience. GravityBox (KK) allows for coloring of icons, but it's only RGB and ignores alpha values.

The only other thing I can think of (aside from GravityBox or Tinted implementing a solution) is to edit .xml or smali values to replace the statusbar signal bar icon with (). I'm not sure which edit to make specifically, however. I'm fine with either the stock rom or Eclipse, but I'd like to know how to fix it one way or the other.

Thoughts?

[Moto X Q&A] Vandyyy:
GravityBox (KK) doesn't have any option for hiding signal bars like it did in the JB version. It allows for a hex code entry for heavy-handed theming, but it doesn't accept alpha values.

Personally ....I need to see my bars. Usually in scetchy areas.

Sent from my N5, N7, Moto X, G Tab 3 or S2.....
[Moto X Q&A] Vandyyy:
GravityBox in general doesn't play well with the Moto X for the more obscure features, likely due to the dev not owning one personally to test on and the fact the X is not pure AOSP. The expanded desktop options don't all perform the desired function, otherwise I'd get something like floating notifications/halo.

As for making the colors black, well, that also defeats the purpose since with Tinted Status Bar I'm trying to avoid having the black bar anywhere that there is not a black action bar. I could just do black icons and run nothing but black/inverted apps, but, no offence to the themers out there, the inverted apps I've seen just... don't look very polished compared to some of their stock counterparts. I acknowledge that it's a bizarre and obscure request, but someone around here ought to know where to look. I don't want burn-in ANYWHERE and I love ultra-minimal looks.
[Moto X Q&A] Arak-Nafein:
I think what you are looking for is called immersive mode.

First off, get Gravitybox for Kit-kat. Second, get app settings (It's in the xposed repository). Make sure to turn on immersive mode in gravity box, and then go into app settings and set all the apps you want to hide the status bar on to immersive mode.

There is also an xposed module called immerse me which would eliminate the need for app settings, but it did some weird stuff for me. (For example, Nova launcher doesn't play well with immerse me)

I use immersive mode & PIE controls for a full-screen-all-the-time effect. For what ever reason, I had to force immersive mode with app settings, but on my other devices setting it in Gravity box was enough. I guess it's the non-AOSP aspect of the moto X that's interfering with something.

For those that dont know jcase and beaups have rooted the new Verizon HTC M8 and found that the vuln and exploit also works on Verizon HTC One 4.4.2. This means it likely will work on the Verizon HTC Max for 4.4.2. *I believe* beaups is working on rolling the root exploit into rumrunner to soff the M8 (and by luck the One on 4.4.2). So at a minimun us Verizon Max owners should be comfortable updating to 4.4.2 and more importantly new buyers of the Verizon Max (and hopefully other versions) will have an available soff and root.

Had a bit of trouble updating my friend's Koodo XT1032 earlier this week.

Was still on original JB ROM, unlocked BL, rooted. Got OTA notification, tried installing, but would always fail.

Tried unrooting, still failed.

Decided to go all in: download the whole Telus/Koodo KitKat ROM (got link from one of the reference threads here) and dirty flash that, then root.

Used mfastboot on Linux (from a Chromebook with Crouton no less!) and flashed everything in order as explained in every tutorial thread out here with the exception of not clearing user data. (We did clear cache.)

I wanted to boot CWM from mfastboot to root but the phone just rebooted into it's normal mode for some reason. Flashed it instead and rooted with the latest SuperSU zip.

Booted into KitKat, everything looked alright, except the phone had no service. One reboot and everything was back to normal (IMEI is OK, had been backed up).

We got notification that there was another OTA available, turns out the ROM we had was missing the bugfix update. Decided to try our luck applying it with CWM, worked, and somewhat to my surprise, CWM was not overwritten.

Hi guys.

I bought a Motorola Moto G (XT1032) and i'm trying to unlock bootloader and then have root permission.

I'm still on Android 4.3 (i have not install KitKat OTA update despite i received the notification).

I think i understand that if you root your device you will not be able to receive future OTA update ( )..I mean, to install future OTA update. Is it correct?

So, i'm going to ask to you: can be better if i first update to KitKit my device and then unlock bootloader & give root permission?

Thank in advance for your answers.

Greetings from Italy
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zazzy24:
yes i would suggest you update your device fully before unlocking the bootloader. you would still get the update with the unlocked bootloader and a rooted phone, as long as you are on stock rom(atleast that is what i have been told.. not sure as i have not had ota since i got the phone), installing that update might be a pain... so its better you update the phone fully.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sith.warrior:
Thanks! So, you suggest to fully update my Moto G (XT1032) to KitKat and then unlock bootloader and give root permission, isn't it?

My bootloader says mako. I got the device from swappa. I'm guessing the user who last had my phone unlocked the bootloader. I had previously thought the guy had done the N4 conversion. I'm assuming now, that he didn't...just find ROMs you want to test out, BU the ROM in recovery and test & trial a kernel. If you have problems booting. You have an incompatible kernel to ROM .....just restore the ROM and try another kernel. I'm currently using the latest carbon ROM by math w/ w/e kernel he implemented into the release.
