hey am interested in making a rom for this phone and i want to know how to extract the system folder
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giovann134:
Are you a developer?

Also I want, but I'm not a developer, I only learn to make that, but if you want to develop a ROM I can send you boot.img and system folder. If you want to extract it by your own way, I extracted it making a backup, then I copied the backup to my PC and uncompressed system.ext4 file.

Can't seem to access 4G on my phone despite being in an area with good 4G reception. I'm on the '3' network in the UK using the ViperOne 5.8.0 ROM. Has anybody any idea how to check what frequency my phone has?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
is your preferred network set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto and is your apn correctly configured for your network?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ss0mohit:
My nexus has somewhat bad battery life and I've tried to search up different remedies using greenify and use "battery saving" mode in location settings.

Google hangouts (main SMS app), Google music, and Google now are usually the main culprits.

I'm currently running Nexus 5 Experience CM11 6.1 with the CAF kernel.

I can't get anything beyond 2.5 hours SOT :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
I don't think hangouts is one of the cause. You can easily disable Google Now from the settings menu in the Google search app itself. Unless you're using Google Music, you can greenify it, disable it or uninstall it. The cause for your poor battery experience must be something else besides those apps.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
I use every day hangouts, Google now and other Google services and I can get around 2:30 SOT hours in full 3G use and around 4:30 in full Wi-Fi use.

Your 2.5 SOT is from which use?

Unleashed by my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ss0mohit:
Hangouts is my main SMS app, but it's weird.

I get around 2:30 SOT with not much data and mainly wifi. I want my battery to at least last me 3 hours SOT, potentially even 4.

Google Now is something that I use pretty often. I turned off the Hotkey detection and the location tracking.

Any other helpful hints?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
Can you install betterbatterystats app and post the screenshot from partial wakelocks tab?

Better after a few hours of use.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttheodorou:
disable hotword detection on google now settings/voice that's a battery hungry option. also check if in wifi settings advance to enable wifi optimization and if it fits you to disable wifi while the screen is off (if you do install autosync from: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redwolf.autosync ). you can also reduce screen brightness an install custom kernel to undervolt/underclock(i have underclocked 1350ghz and undervolt 150mv with notable performance issues).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
I have tried all that you propose (even tried with online 2 cores only) and no important battery drain got reduced.

In other words, the OP should just find which application causes the drainage and don't expect huge difference by other factors.

If he manages to fix the problem, then he could try custom kernels or other options just to improve a bit the smoothness and keep the temperatures down.

i have rooted and unlocked my droid maxx. everything seems to work well, except that i cant open the quick settings in the notification bar.

oh an shouldnt the droid maxx have the tap to wake feature ?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Deleted member 308374:
I saw a review of ETEN M600 in a (italian) magazine: there was a photo showing the wm5-integrated voice command...the problem is: why does my qtek 9000 only have voice speed dial (to call contacts or launch apps) and the lower-class m600 has a full featured program, that can also - as clearly shown in the photo that struck me - read sms (!!), call telephone numbers even if not stored in the contacts database, and many many more interesting actions??

is there a way to extract it and use it on Universal?? I'd really like to have sms read to me (useful while driving), and the radio/bt/wifi turned on and off without having to open it, turn it on and click click click... it takes no more than 10 seconds but sometimes it's annoying!!

any hints about that?? any suggestion??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] vijay555:

Vijay555, do you mean there's a way to discover some more hidden capabilities in Microsoft Voice Command 1.5 UK?

I really would love to have some more functions in this. Don't see any upgrades coming at moment.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] vijay555:
I don't know about hidden capabilities in Voice Command itself.

But there are other ways to make the Phone speak and there are a couple of competing speech engines out there.

I'm currently working on a speech program, VJLoquitur, using Flite and some other stuff.

Anyone going to the Modaco meeting this Saturday? I'll be showing it off there, hopefully.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forawesome:
Hi all,

I've been playing around with the semi-new high-quality TTS voices, and I'd really like to use the UK voice for navigation and Google Now. Unfortunately, selecting other voices in the Text-To-Speech menu does not change either of those two voices (It does work in other apps, like utter!.) I messed around with INOVA as well, with the same problem. The only fix I've found so far is to change the entire default system language to English (UK), but that also has the effect of changing my clock to 24-hour, and a few other British tweaks that I'd rather not have, and it still doesn't solve the problem of letting me choose the British male voice (or any INOVA voice.) Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Almost forgot: Running Nexus 5, rooted, stock ROM +Xposed-- if there's an Xposed module out there that will do this, please let me know!

Before updating KitKat beta and flashing Gaps i used Google Now without any issues, but after that Google Now stopped working. I tried everything to make it work and just doesn't work.

I updated to OmniRom and still the same issues, if anyone has any ideas or advice on how to make it work pls share them.

Also i read somewhere that installing the default Google Search app found in B111 fixes Google Now.

If anyone is running B111 and is willing to help pls go to Settings - Apps - Google Search - Uninstall updates and than upload the Google Search app.

Thx in advance

Flashable zips to change the hardware menu key to app switch/recents.

Method is simply to replace MENU with APP_SWITCH in Generic.kl

Tested with TWRP and Google Edition 4.4.2/Hyperdrive RLS15 4.3.

You will lose access to settings menus, so use your preferred alternative method to access them. I use Gravitybox to set long press on recents key to menu. You need to change settings for recents key, not menu key in Gravitybox/whatever you use.

Mostly just for convenience since I always do this when flashing roms anyways and I think it's ridiculous to have to hold the middle button for 2 seconds to switch apps. I just add menu_switch to queue after whatever rom zip I'm flashing.

Attached:

menu_switch.zip - changes menu key to app switch/recents key

menu_revert.zip - reverts changes
[Glass Q&A] dkottas:
We are looking for a way to get a live feed of the camera in native C++ on

Google Glass. Our plan is to setup a CameraListener that will act as a

callback for when a image is recorded.

Right now, the problem comes in the camera connection process. So far, we

have tried to set up a SurfaceTexture to use with

android::Camera::setPreviewTexture(), and android::Camera::startPreview().

The application gets a reference to the Camera successfully, but when we

call setPreviewTexture with a SurfaceTexture that has been created via

OpenGL, the application crashes.

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] xyonofcalhoun:
Right, so, I've done some googling and some searching about here and there but either I'm being dense and the solution is really simple, or nobody's done what I've done with this tablet before and, again, I'm being dense. Here's my issue:

Kindle Fire 2 (2nd gen, also second-hand) tablet: stock, rooted, that worked fine with the tool by bin4ry.

Rebooted after that, verified root was working, adb and fastboot perfectly fine (sidenote: linux user, no shonky Windows drivers at fault here)

My ultimate goal is to get CM on this device, so, started after this to follow the instructions in this thread regarding getting the second bootloader on the tablet.

Realised I need a factory cable, ordered, delivered, works but not all the time, I'm not sure if it's a dodgy cable or not but did get into fastboot.

Got new bootloader installed, saw Kindle Fire logo in blue. Proceeded to boot the stock rom after this and use adb push to put the CM 11 zip and the gapps zip files on /sdcard.

adb shell, su, reboot recovery, intending to boot into TWRP to flash new rom

Tablet reboots, but is now stuck with the stock boot logo (orange) and then a black screen with a white triangle and exclamation mark on it. I haven't seen any references to this particular delight.

Fastboot cable does not, no matter how I fiddle with it, put the tablet in fastboot mode. Holding down the power button for five minutes did nothing.

I've read that if it turns on, it can probably be recovered, but I don't know what to do from here. Can anyone render assistance?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] xyonofcalhoun:
So, after much fiddling, I discovered that my problem was actually that my fastboot cable was loose in the microUSB end, and not contacting properly with the pins - thus not sending the tablet the requisite signal to enter fastboot mode.

I've successfully got TWRP onto the fire and thus CM 10.1 now.

I hope this update helps anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation; fastboot still works, keep wiggling.

Anyone heard about either recovery coming soon for this device?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] shojus:
+1 I am like you, I just sent my M8 out today for a Java S-Off. I am thinking that modifying one of the current TWRP recoveries would be quite easy for someone with the skills. It seems almost all variants have a working recovery and since our hardware is mostly the same (minus radios) I would think that one could be modded for us but the question is, WHO can do this? I think I am going to e-mail the TWRP guys and see if we can get a recovery made for us as this device will need one anyways. Let me know if you find anything out? :good:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] roofus1218:
Hi everyone.

I recently got a used Note 2. I've been doing a bit of reading in this section and just wanted to confirm a couple of things.

First off my phone's description:

Carrier: Sprint

Model Number: SPH-L900

Android Version: 4.3

Baseband Version: L900VPUBMK4

Kernel Version: 3.0.31-2106854 se.infra@R0301-10 #1 Mon Nov 11 20:33:03 KST 2013

Build Number: JSS15J.L900VPUBMK4

SE for Android Status: Enforcing SEPF_SPH-L900_4.3_0010

Hardware Version: L900.09

(1) Even though the phone came wiped of all previous data I would like to do a factory reset. Billard412's guide is mentioned several times. Is this the option to go with for my phone?

(2) The phone is not rooted at the moment. Should I use the CF-Auto Root method by Chainfire first and then proceed to install TWRP and then restore back to stock using Billard412's guide?

Thanks for your help in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
To start with you have the 100% KNOX on your phone so Billard412's back to stock will be the option you want to use.

You will need to download

TWRP recovery (recommended because billards zip works best with it)

Billards back to stock mc2 with counter reset

The root file located in billards thread

Prep steps

Backup everything you want from your internal sdcard (this will get wiped)

place billards rom and root files on your external sdcard

1. boot phone into download mode

2. use odin to flash twrp recovery (any version but 2.7) make sure you uncheck the reboot option in odin

3. once finished remove cable and battery

4. hold the recovery boot key sequence (vol up, home, and power keys) then insert battery (while holding keys)

5. once in recovery wipe everything

6. flash billards rom (do not wipe anything else after this step)

7. flash the root file

8. reboot and dont get worry when things get funky this is normal

9. the phone will take a bit to boot

10. now you have stock mc2 with root

11. install your recovery of choice (if flashing touchwiz 4.3 or aosp 4.4 roms use Philz 6.07.9) this can be done with odin or an image flashing app

12. now you can flash whatever rom you want

FYI -- when going from touchwiz 4.1x to 4.3 or aosp 4.4 you should format your internal sdcard. The newer roms use a different location for your internal sdcard and without proper formatting you will end up with issues (mostly random reboots and apps force closing) -- Same goes if you go from 4.3 TW/aosp 4.4 to 4.1x TW/4.3 or lower aosp
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] roofus1218:
jlmancuso, thanks for the reply. Couple of things to clarify from your post:

- Regarding the Prep steps.

- I don't have anything on this phone yet so I don't think I need to back anything up. Even if if did the "Android system recovery <3e>" recovery menu does not have an option to back anything up

- Regarding using Odin to flash TWRP

- The 2.7 version to avoid is for TWRP correct? I went to TWRP's Sprint Note 2 page and I cannot seem to find a different version. Where should I get the version of TWRP that actually works?

- From the XDA page on Odin, which version should I use 3.09 or 1.85?

- All of the boxes must be unchecked including the reboot option? If not which ones need to be checked?

- I click on the "PDA" button to load the TWRP zip file correct?

- Regarding step 8:

- What do you mean "dont get worry when things get funky"? Funky as in the phone takes long to reboot or the screen flashes weird colors/patterns?

- Also, I came across Galaxy Note2 TOOLKIT V5.0.0 SPRINT thread. That one seems pretty easy to follow through. Would that option work for me given that I have the KNOX update?

Thanks again for your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] roofus1218:
Well, I've done a bit more reading into the Galaxy Note2 TOOLKIT V5.0.0 SPRINT thread and it seems that might be the way to go. Mark mentions the KNOX update in his changelog. I don't have the necessary posts to post a question in that thread so hopefully someone sees this that's familiar with that method. Does this method apply to a phone that has already undergone the KNOX update?

From what I can understand, Mark has made a recovery as well as a root tool. I bought this phone second hand so any warranty issues (e.g. flash counts, etc.) don't really apply to me. I'm just looking to get the phone to a clean state where I can start fresh and then add TWRP and Root. As far as the version of TWRP, Billard412 says (in post #604) that "Version of twrp doesn't matter as far as I know."

My second question is, using the Unified Toolkit, will i be able to restore my phone to stock and then root it with the least amount of problems?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jambon58:
I belive your best option is billard412s thread. You are correct with your Odin steps. Flash TWRP and follow thread you should be golden
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] roofus1218:
