[Moto X Q&A] dark_angeluz:
Hi, when I first boot my moto X, the nav bar behind the nav buttons was transparent, but after I switch from Dalvik to ART, it is now completely black, I don't really like it. Does anyone knows how to lower the opacity or if I switch back to Dalvik would I have any problems with my apps?

Sorry for my english, I'm from Mexico.
[Moto X Q&A] Mr. Orange 645:
Your English seems better than most of the native English speakers I see post here, so no worries.

As far as your question, switching back to Dalvik won't hurt any of your apps, but it may take several minutes for your phone to boot up the first time after switching back.

I'm not sure ART would affect the nav bar transparency though. What version of Android are you running? Is it a stock or custom ROM? Are you using the stock launcher? Did you apply a custom wallpaper?
[Moto X Q&A] dark_angeluz:
Wow, that was fast. Thanks.

My version is latest 4.4.2, is stock ROM for Telcel, Mexico. I'm using stock and tried with Apex, same thing. I tried with a custom wallpaper (a pic I downloaded) and I got the black bar, I used a wallpaper from my apex theme and the bar is back to transparent. Is there a way to have my custom wallpaper with transparent bar?

Thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] Mr. Orange 645:
De nada.

It has something to do with custom wallpapers. I had that issue once before and I think it had something to do with the way I cropped the photo when setting it as wallpaper. You might also try rebooting the device see if it works then.
[Moto X Q&A] dark_angeluz:
Thanks! The solution was (at least for me) to zoom in the image a little bit. Black bar is gone.
[Moto X Q&A] hermeshhn:
Yo también soy de México

The problem is that, the image don't go to full screen so the Nav bar become black, other answer to your problem is move the image to where the wallpapers are, that need root access, and then apply like a wallpaper no like an image ?

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] levenum:
From what I understand you device is known here as blue angel.

From the description of your problem it does sound that you may have a bad piece of software on it. The question is what did you install.

Firs off, putting in a memory card will not help you open files of 20 - 30MB. The card only expands storage memory, not RAM. Basically it is like a hard drive.

I can only recommend the following:

Back up your data (contacts, tasks, emails, documents etc.) then hard reset your device. This will restore it to its original state. (Sorry, but I don't know how to hard reset this particular phone - try the blue angel forum).

If your device still doesn't work well you may have a hardware problem. Otherwise, try installing all the programs one by one using the device in between to see just which program causes it to slow down and hang.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] sangrilla:
hi,

thanks for your information but i did tried everything.

i have tried hard resetting and did not put anything new.even removed my storage card and then tried but still same problem. i have even upgraded to 1.42 netherland but it did not even get solved.

i have tried everything in the software issue but it is not working.

kindly do advise what has to be done?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] TheSanitarium:
It can be a software you install on you pda. Are you having this trouble even if you do not install anything extra to your pda? After a hard reset try to use it without installing any other application a couple of days.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] 95scort:
Did it spend any time in a moist environment? Or get water damage? Physical damage? (i.e. drop, crush, constant vibration.) The only thing that would make me satisfied is if I took the whole thing apart, disconnected and recconected all ribbon cables/connectors.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] sangrilla:
Thank you for your information.

well i have even tried to upgrade to 1.42 and radio 1.13 and removed everything but still the same problem.

i have not installed a single thing but still it is the same problem.

i am tired of this pda and i do not know what to do

please help

[One (M8) Accessories] lacrossev:
I've used Tetrax mounts for a couple of my phones now and they've all worked great. I would put the metal disc on the back of a case so i wouldn't have to stick anything directly on the phone. When it came to the M8 though i suspected that there would be a problem since the back of the case is where the dot view case has a magnetic switch to tell the phone when its in a dot view case.

I tested it by simply putting my phone up to the tetrax base without the disc, and the screen went off. When i powered it back on it was the dot view app so if anyone is going to use a tetrax mount, you'll have to freeze or get rid of the dot matrix app somehow. I'm rooted so i just used titanium, not sure if the app itself can be disabled on stock firmware though. After it is disabled the screen will turn off when you put it on the mount but it won't trigger dot view.
[One (M8) Accessories] Juvenall:
Oh, this is good to know! I've been using the Tetrax X-Way for a few generations of devices now, but since I wasn't able to find a good slim fit case yet, I took someone's suggestion of trying the Kenu Airframe and so far, it works just as well without the hastle of having the special "car case".
[One (M8) Accessories] kappen:
Strange, I've been using mine with it for the past few days and it has never kicked into dot mode. Maybe the case is thick enough that I have. I have a thinner one on order so hopefully it won't change.
[One (M8) Accessories] lacrossev:
I tried it with a tpu one and its doing it. A thicker case like an otterbox might be just thick enough
[One (M8) Accessories] kappen:
This is the case I bought until my real case shows up. I mounted the disc right above the kickstand hinge

This is the case I am waiting on, if it goes into dot mode with it I guess I have a decision to make.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] TChuso:
Hi community, this is the first time I post something and maybe this is the wrong category:silly:

I have an e10i, I love it, and following the instructions of this forum I managed to flash custom roms and I'm extremely happy with CM7 2.2.2

But yesterday I read that this ROM supports nAa .32 kernel and I'm wondering if it's worth it to flash this kernel (since I read it is intended for newest androids) will this kernel improve the mobile performance with CM7?

And in affirmative case, how do I flash it over nAa .29? Directly over the old kernel? Should I wipe everything before? Is there any way to don't loose all my mobile data and settings?

In cas someone needs it: http://imgur.com/dOKFR6j

My kernel at the moment: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1256739

The newer one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2136471

The ROM post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1068553

Thanks in advance ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
You can just flash it over the old kernel and it will work. You will only lose data if you flash different ROMS not different kernels. (ofcourse, don't do the recommended formats for the new kernel, because they destroy your data)

In any case, perform a backup in CWM first, so you can restore it in case anything goes wrong.

It will be a little bit faster, but on the other hand, you will most likely loose bluetooth capabilities, because the .32 kernel has a few issues with that. So just try, and if you're not happy, you can always flash .29 again :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] TChuso:
Thanks :D so I'll just have to flash it with flashtools and MiniCM7 will start as always right?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] TChuso:
Thanks again, I'll give it a try since I never use bluetooth.

what to do please even install this recovery but error in mounting sd card and the rom that i put inside the internal memory cant be seen
[HTC One S] LS.xD:
You're facing sdcard bug.

This is how to solve:

1. Flash stock recovery

2. reboot to bootloader and perform "clear storage" (While in bootloader NOT in recovery)

3. Flash custom recovery again (Must be compatible to Android 4.4.2)

4. Reboot recovery - mount usb storage - copy ROM.zip to sdcard

5. Install rom

6. Reboot immediately to fastboot and flash kernel (boot.img) via fastboot commandline

7. NOW boot android (Not at any time before!)
[HTC One S] alialjorany:
Thanks for replay brother can u upload stock recovery and custom recovery
[HTC One S] LS.xD:
Sure:

Stock --> DL

PhilZ CWM --> DL

Keep in mind to unzip PhilZ CWM before you can flash it using fastboot
[HTC One S] alialjorany:
thanks for replay brother but can u tell me how to copy rom to sd card bcz i do all steps and i tried push rom but cant do it
[HTC One S] LS.xD:
PhilZ recovery let mount you you usb storage. Sd card will be shown as mass storage in windows :) Just as I wrote before.

yes i know that but when press on usb mass storage i cant see anything in the computer such as mass storage
[HTC One S] LS.xD:
Did you follow ALL steps in exactly this order?

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

If yes you can go to windows device manager. There is a device called "One S" or "ville" while phone is connected. Delete the device and sd card will be shown up in windows. Sometimes HTC drivers are kinda buggy.

Sent from my beloved HTC One S using (most time buggy) Tapatalk :)
[HTC One S] alialjorany:
yes bro

i do all steps as u say 100% but when mount usb storage i cant see storage inside my computer

i think i have only to add the custom rom in internal memory but thats i cant make it
[HTC One S] LS.xD:
internal storage = sdcard for HTC One S :)

Just get the driver fixed and it will work. Have you tried enter sd card in recovery?
[HTC One S] alialjorany:
driver show in device manger samsung android phone and as i said cant brows the sd card on my computer

when press on mount usb storage show

/storage/sdcard0: shared-unmounted
[HTC One S] LS.xD:
Its a driver problem now. As sdcard works again :)

Delete Samsung Android phone then! :)

Sent from my beloved HTC One S using (most time buggy) Tapatalk :)

Why do you have Samsung drivers installed? Just uninstall all USB drivers Samsung and HTC and google adb / fastboot

You don't need the driver to access Sd storage :)

Have you also uninstalled HTC sync and Samsung kies? If not --> do it pls

Sent from my beloved HTC One S using (most time buggy) Tapatalk :)
[HTC One S] alialjorany:
many many thanks now i just copy file to the mass storage but u said to flash boot.img after install the rom and i brows the rom and didnt find boot.img inside

i just find these boot files boot_hboot2.15.img and boot_hboot2.16.img
[HTC One S] LS.xD:
Rom is compatible to 2.15 and 2.16 so there are 2 different I suppose :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benaholic:
Okay, so it's a bit of a long story but there's a woman I work with who had her virtually-new Samsung Galaxy S3 stolen by her recently-split husband last year. We all knew it was him, but we had virtually no evidence, other than it's disappearance. Anyway, so this woman recently was in his now-separated husband's flat & was rooting around. She found a Samsung Galaxy S3, smartly took a picture of the IMEI & left it. She knew it was hers, but wanted to be 100% sure. She went home, checked the box, & of course they did match. The next day, she went back to his house & manipulated the situation so that she could find enough time on her own to go take the phone back without him knowing. So she brings it into work with her the next day. The problem is, the phone now has a password lock on it. She then spent the night trying to guess the password, but to no success.

So, me being the tech guy that I am, she asked me to try to get into it. I said, the easiest way would be for me to wipe it & factory reset it, but that she would lose all of her information. She doesn't want me to do that. She wants to get pictures & stuff of her / their kids off the phone, as well as look into who her ex-husband had been talking to / see who knew about him stealing the phone. So, I said it should be possible. However, I'm not a hugely great phone guy. I'm good with computers, but not so much phones.

So, we spent the day trying various exploits found on Google or YouTube but to no success. There was one method where we had a little success where we turned the phone on > Emergency Call > Emergency Contact > Press Home > Press Power > Unlocked home screen in then meant to appear. It never did. Although we could get it to quickly flash whatever was on the home screen (which was a picture of her / their kids, which she'd set to the phone before it was taken).

So without any of those methods working, I'm tasked with now getting into the phone at home. I have no idea whether USB debugging is enabled, I would assume not. We are unable to reset the password via Google Recovery or anything because we're never offered the option. As I say, she doesn't want me to wipe the phone. But there has to be a way to get into it otherwise, either through brute force, or one of those other password cracking methods possibly?

There was a technique I found on Google at work, something about connecting the phone to your computer via USB then trying to do some stuff from command line or through a Linux distro, which I need to re-find & try.

But alas, does anyone here have any methods or know any ways that I could get around this password lock?

I have to say though, I'm glad it's not that simple (atleast it appears so, anyway) to get around one of these passwords. Makes me feel a little safer for my own Galaxy S3! haha
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tchindalia:
Hey

You said u tried the Google account method right?

If that's not working try to flash philz recovery and from that you can access the contents of the internal SD card..

U can also TRY to use the custom back up option offered by his recovery and then custom restore the data..

I can't assure you that it will work but you can try it..

Best of Luck

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benaholic:
We did not try a Google account method, I don't think? Think we tried to log in to the ex-husband's Google account on my iPad for some reason (can't remember why now tbh) but we could not guess his password. He's apparently changed it since they split.

Won't flashing the phone wipe everything that's on it?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RazorMC:
If he lets her into the house so easily then:

1- HE didn't steal the phone because he felt no need to hide it

2- The "woman" is invading the guy's privacy and checking personal info without consent

3- Seeing who he talked to is a typical behaviour pattern of someone who is invading someone's privacy for ill intentions

4- the "woman" can always request for the guy to share the kid's photos and other stuff. No need to snoop around

To the OP:

If you do help this person break into the phone and turns out it wasn't hers, then you are aiding in a possibly

criminal activity

.

If he did steal, then all the best to you. Otherwise; Beware of the LAW.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benaholic:
I can't remember the reason she believed the phone was stolen, to be honest. The reason she had access to his house, was because they have kids together. She had gone to go drop the kids off, or pick them up. For some bizarre reason, I don't know why, he left her in the house alone after he went to take them to school (telling her to lock the door when she leaves). She took that opportunity to look around the house for the phone, as he'd never previously admitted to taking it but she was sure he did.

She found the phone, took a picture of the IMEI, went home to match to the IMEI on her box & it saw that they were the same. She's shown me the picture as well. confirming that it was indeed her phone, she then went back to her ex's flat the next day (because he was going to come along to their daughter's birthday). Just as they were about to leave, she says she needs the toilet. So, she runs back upstairs & grabs the phone without him knowing.

I think the reason why she never went to the police about it is because he was trying to get citizenship to remain here in the country, & she didn't want something like this to jeopardize whether she's in a relationship with him or not; they do still have kids together. Sending him back to Kenya over a phone wouldn't do anyone any good.

Which "Find my mobile" thing are you on about?

---------------------------------------

I appear to have found a way to bypass the lock screen via the ADB, but I think it only works for a lock pattern. Anyone know or have any ideas what to do for a password?
