[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kipue:
My research pointed to that too, those DRM keys are actually pretty limited in scope (for me).

The biggest thing to lose is the Bravia engine, since that affects the phone in a more general way. But as I read, if unlocking the bootloader when on official Kitkat, the keys are no longer affected.

Well, I guess better safe than sorry, and I'll try to backup the TA partition anyway ^^
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Are you sure? I would think that your warranty is the most important thing to keep intact, no? Let's say you just drop backing up the TA partition and you run into some hardware issues that can't be fixed by flashing. What do you do? Throw it into the nearest river? Pay $XXX to fix it? Or, just restore the backup?

It's pretty easy and straight forward. Downgrade to 532, root, backup TA, update to 681 (KitKat) again, and do whatever you want. :cool:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kipue:
Yep, you are right of course, but this device I've got has no waranty. Well, gray market waranty at any rate where I guess they don't check the bootloader state, and any breakage will have to be paid at full price.

I will do the backup, just to be sure, as I concluded in my post :)

Thanks for all the advice!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Ahh, I see. Well, I guess you're free to do whatever you feel like then :p

When I restore my image the one that I backed up on CM recovery, my Samsung s4 reboots and turn on without no problem but when I put in my pin gapps pops up saying "unfortunately gapps have stop" and I click ok but it keeps poping up.

Please I need help
[Paranoid Android Q&A] Pirateghost:
Are you restoring old data from and old rom install to a new rom install?

If so, you can't do that. Use titanium backup or helium for backing up your apps and data

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Paranoid Android Q&A] conamundas:
It happens to me as well in my note 2 with cwm. I installed twrp instead. I haven't tried the restore yet though. Titanium backup was the best option for me
[Paranoid Android Q&A] geekytech:
No I was runing cm11 and I wanted to go back to stock android so I did a nandriod backup before I flash anything. Now running cm11 i reboot into Cwm recovery and restore my backup image on my s4 which was TouchWiz 4.4.2 and when it reboot on, I unlock the phone and the pop-up keep showing up like every 5 second. So I can't do nothing because of this pop-ups
[Paranoid Android Q&A] geekytech:
I will try to flash newer Gapps, if doesn't work I going wipe then restore
[Paranoid Android Q&A] Pirateghost:
You cant restore your TouchWiz data partition to a cm rom

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Paranoid Android Q&A] geekytech:
OK but I mean the nandriod backup is a image of my phone like how it was when I first root it, so if my phone go brick I can boot into recovery and restore my phone back to how it was before. So now I trying to restore my phone back to how it was before because I don't want to use cm11 until it is stable.
[Paranoid Android Q&A] Pirateghost:
So let me get this straight.

You are using a device not officially supported by the Paranoid Android team, post in the Paranoid Android forum section, to get help going back to stock from cm11?

You realize that there is an entire section of the forums dedicated to your device?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirtusl92:
Hey there.

I still am using the HTC one m7 version, with the 4.7 inch screen

Coming from an iphone 5 before, I chose m7 because of its huge screen compared to the iphone.

Now, it's starting to look small on me...does the 4.7 to 5.0 inches really make that huge of a difference?

I was thinking about switching to samsung galaxy note 3, but I for some reason cannot stand AMOLED..

So I ask those who have previously gone from M7 to M8, is the screen really that noticeably different, mostly when watching videos?

Thanks.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cj2566:
I see most of the issues listed can be solved with an apk.

Why is a FM radio a big deal?

Tune-in works just fine.

Stock messaging app? Disable it and install Hangouts, Handcent, or Chomp. There are others.

Just saying.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] droidkevlar:
Think the FM is a big deal for people not on unlimited data. FM wouldnt use your data. Also, there is stock SMS app other than VZW's, just have to enable it as default in the settings and then you can disable the VZW one.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mchief298:
Not very happy with the way Verizon releases their phones.. But nonetheless I love the phone and most of these issues are easily remedied.

3Minit was pretty great. But development stopped and it was pulled from the app store. And I have neither the framework nor the corresponding settings app backed up anywhere to re-install. Honestly, cosmetics aren't a big deal to me, so I can perfectly well get by without most of those functions. But the one thing I care about is also the one thing I haven't found a fitting alternative for: changing button behavior.

To be clear, here is what I used to have my device doing:

Menu Long Press - Launch Colornote

Home Long Press - Screenshot

Home Double Tap - Recent Apps

Back Long Press - Kill app

Now, I know that there are xposed modules like wanamp that will let me restore my old settings to the back and home button. But I haven't found a solution that lets me alter what the menu button does too. I want to be able to launch Color Note from anywhere with a long press once again.

Solutions?

[G2 Android Development] Sinate:
Hi guys,

I promise to release my own media_profile mod to exploit on a good way the LG G2 cam.

What you need to use the V1 Sinate Media_Profile Mod :

Computer ;)

LG G2 with a custom rom type KK that include the 4K - 120fps function (this mod will not work on 4.2.2)

The root explorer app or similar to let your write/rename/replace your files in the android system

How to install it ?

Make a backup of your original media_profile (go to the /etc/ with root explorer and find media_profile and for example you can rename it media_profile.bak.xml)

Go to recovery mode and flash the zip file (if your camera crash or bootloop, try a factory reset and reflash)

reboot your phone

What the V1 Sinate Media_profile mod offer ?

Higher Bitrate up to 80mb in 1080p and almost 60mb in 4K

Front and back quality improvement

More detailled slow motion scene (not yet 720p native but i try my best to offer more later)

Better/Stable Framerate

P.S:

Thanks to Xdabbeb and Jishnu for the 4K - 120fps

Thanks to Cloudyfa for the Custom Rom CloudyPro II that help me to make more stable the V1 mod

and special thanks to every XDA users and modder.
[G2 Android Development] kxs783kms:
Will this work for stock Verizon KK rom? I'm on that rom and I replaced the files per your instructions using Root Explorer and I'm bootlooping.
[G2 Android Development] iall5tar:
i guess we have to change permissions too isnt it?

id followed your instruction but got bootloop... any suggestion?
[G2 Android Development] Sinate:
double post
[G2 Android Development] Sinate:
Did you install any 4K - 120fps mod ? the best way is to do everythings with a computer and only if you have permission + 4K - 120fps.

Connect your LG G2 in MTP (transfert the modded media_profile.xml to the root of your LG G2 storage)

Launch Root explorer, go to /etc/ rename your media_profile.xml to media_profile.xml

And copy paste the modded version of media_profile.xml from your LG G2 storage to the /etc/

When it ask you if you sure to transfert the file to your /etc/ you valid all the questions

and you just need to reboot the phone.

If you follow this step + 4K - 120fps mod, you shouldn't have the bootloop

You don't need, all what you need is a rooting LG G2 that include the 4K - 120fps mod + KK rom or LG G Pro 2 port rom (for example i'm using

the Cloudy II 1.2 with my LG G2 + my modded file)

Which are you using ? and do you have the 4K - 120fps mod included ?

Sorry double post
[G2 Android Development] iall5tar:
Hi, Im using cloudystock v1.3 and ofc 4k - 120fps supported... I'll try it with no changing permissions...
[G2 Android Development] Sinate:
I had one time the bootloop but this is what i did to prevent it

Use Phil Recovery

Clean and Install New Rom

Install Custom Rom (KK that include 4K - 120fps)

Factory/Reset

Backup my media_profile

and replace it by the new one.

I add a picture on my first post that show the 4K at 55Mb with the LG G2

I can add more pictures about what you should have after replacing the original media_profile by the new one.
[G2 Android Development] kxs783kms:
Ok, thanks. I misunderstood your directions and I thought this was enabling those mods.
[G2 Android Development] iall5tar:
Well im already flashed it again with no permissions and still bootloop... may you can make a zip flashable?

btw ill try it with your method installing the whole ROM with corresponding wipes.

ill keep you update!

EDIT2: ok now i follow the way you tell me and worked! =) i hope i can apply all my mods and etc... ill report later! Cheers!

[G2 Android Development] NuclearEMP:
I didnt get a boot loop but my camera crashes when i turn on camcorder
[G2 Android Development] Sinate:
Ok after doing more test on different rom, here a answer of why it crash or bootloop.

It would work properly only with a clean install rom or factory/reset before install. Don't ask me why is like this, it's probably due to a conflict with different entry, a clean install is the best way to prevent any crash or bootloop, sorry about that
[G2 Android Development] bender_007:
I'll try again with cleaning the caches m8
[G2 Android Development] iall5tar:
i flashed it with clean install and worked for me =)

my bad that i didnt try the cam before apply this mod soo dunno xD

May you can make a zip flasheable?

Edit: well when i open cam screen turns Black and when i turn it too video cam get laggy... i try to set permissions but got bootloop...
[G2 Android Development] Sinate:

Yeah i will make a flashable zip ;)
[G2 Android Development] Sinate:
Try a clean install or let check with a flashable zip (i will upload one soon)
[G2 Android Development] bender_007:

[G2 Android Development] NeoDJW:
So this isn't included in jishnu's or xdabbeb's camera ? Why? Would be a lot easier if they add it
[G2 Android Development] Sinate:
Well is not me who decide to include it (i just made my own modifcation of the media) but you don't necessarily need the Jishnu's or Xdabbe's mod, a simple Custom rom KK that include 4K, 120fps or a LG Pro 2 Rom port it's enough.
[G2 Android Development] iall5tar:
Flashed it and no bootloop =)

now how i know that it works? xD
[G2 Android Development] NeoDJW:
and custom rom comes with one of those two cameras, there is no 3rd option dude! nice work imho
[G2 Android Development] bender_007:
Ok, the zip installer works, although it sets chmod 666 instead of 644
[G2 Android Development] Sinate:
Well you just need to enjoy even more your camera now ;)

To check if it works on yours, just need to compare the default bitrate, default render, etc... with this mod...

Check in the first page what the mod offer ;)
[G2 Android Development] Sinate:
:good: good to know this ;)
[G2 Android Development] iall5tar:
