[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] v1ncent:
I'd personally wait for several reasons - while only rumor it has been suggested that the upcoming Nexus 8 might replace the 7 at around the same price; so you'd get an updated larger product at around the current N7 price, which is great if the rumors are true. Secondly, the real reason - Google I/O is coming soon. Wait a little and your patience will be rewarded not that the N7 isn't nice; just that it's not long before you know what you can get with a little patience.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Rahul721:
Wait the few extra months if you can. The Nexus 8 will be more than worth it :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Badouken:
I'd say it's the best budget tablet you can get! I'd wait a month or two to see if a new nexus 7 2014 will be announced or the rumored nexus 8. Unless you don't care about having the latest and greatest, cause the 7 is still amazing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jfriend33:
199 is nowhere near cheap enough. I got mine for 189 with a 25$ gift card at black Friday via staples price match.

Anyway I would definitely say you better open the box up and play with it for a while before buying. As long as you don't have touch screen issues (ghost touches, multi touch, etc) you're in the clear...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] LinearEquation:
For the cost vrs overall performance, the fact Android it's open source and it's ability to be modified I don't think there is a better tablet. Not literally but certainly all things considered.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] pctechdroid:
I just got the Nexus 7 32gb from Best Buy today with a price match of Staples for $179.00. Staples had an error with their online pricing and showed the 32gb for $179 instead of the 16gb in their paper ad for $179.

So far after unlocking and rooting the device, I have been happy with it.

Next step is to get going on ROM's to see what I like. Just did Franco Kernel as I have used his in the past and I've been happy with the performance.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] uchihakurtz:
Dudes, I'm also planning on getting a Nexus 7 2013 WiFi (flo). I just wanna ask, is 32 GB enough for high end games to be installed? Anda can you plug a flash drive via USB OTG to watch movies and stuff? Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] abrahammmmmmm_:
I'd personally like to add that I just yesterday returned my Deb N7 from best buy I got for 268.80 with a price match for T-Mobile. It was bugging me ever since I bought it that the new one would be announced at google i/o. Really it's a great tablet but the loudness of the speakers and screen vibrancy didn't cut it. Although it was perfect in every other category.

---------- Post added at 03:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 AM ----------

32 GB Is definitely enough, of course if you keep media and stuff on a USB OTG which is compatible (experience)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] uchihakurtz:
Cool, cuz 16 GB is just not enough and I read/write a lot for movies so why not use a flash drive instead. Thanks man!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LilleJohn:
Hi my name is John.

I had a account here before but it seems my account has been deleted.

when i had that account i had allot of info on how to install mods and such.

Now i have a new mobile Xperia V

I am wondering if some know where i can get a tutorial on how to flash my mobile and get mods in it.

I do not want to make my own mod just so u know so im wondering if there is a tutorial on it and if some knows a nice transparent look or something.

I really would like to get the bottom bar with transparent look and with pulsating lights on the icons like the back home and shortcut icons.

I hope some can tip me on some tutorials atleast but it would be even greater if some can say good UI styles to. I would be so thankful if some can help me. i really don't like the neutral look and lac of options in the stock versions..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
- Root your phone

- Install Clockworkmod Recovery

- Install Xposed Installer

- Install Gravitybox and get more UI options you ever thought about

That will also help you to learn more about your device first. Afterwards you can still take your time and look around for some other mods that can be flashed or otherwise installed permanent.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LilleJohn:
Thanks.

Thanks for the info.. well then i have to search the forum then on how to do it anyways.

i have rooted my older mobile before i even unlocked to alla sim card operators.

I dont remeber at all thou how i did it. Only thing i know is that it took a long time to find all the info on how to do it..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
Which ROM are you running?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LilleJohn:
Unresolved

I am not using any rom right now.

I have rooted my mobile and now im searching on info on how to install clockworkmod

thou i cant find out how.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LilleJohn:
I've searched the forum now on how to install clockworkmod and ive found 0 results on how to do it !

I've tested to trigger volume button to get in so i can install a rom but i cant get there it just shows a purple light for 3 sec and then continues to boot up !

So there's none here can help me ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
connect your phone to PC

enable USB debugging on the phone

unzipp the file attached

click on install.bat and follow the simple instructions

Well you must be using a ROM otherwise you could not root your phone. It is the stock ROM I assume. I hope 4.1.2.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LilleJohn:
Well i have already come so far but now i cant seem to understand on how to get TWRP or CWM to use for installing roms..

I used a FTF firmware to get my mobile rooted..

That file u attached isent it for xperia t ???
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
You need a ROM that can be flashed via Recovery in the first place. All ROM developers will tell you in their opening thread about the requirements. Some require flashtool, mostly those that work with unlocked bootloaders. Some require a Recovery, usually those that work with locked bootloaders (these work with unlocked BL, too).

Don't know what you are talking about. I am not an expert, so I can not do absolutely anything.

If followed the instructions you'd know what this is for.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LilleJohn:
The file u attached is called CWM4XperiaT not CWM4XperiaV

and if you don't believe me that you can root with a FTF file then i can upload it so u can test yourself..

how i did it was used flashmod in flashtool and then sellected the ftf file called LT25i_9.1.A.0.490_Nordic.ftf

after that i flashed a kernel with Fastboot called LT25_SXV_Stok_Kernel_9.1.A.0.490_Dogsly.ftf

then i just used the tool root device in flashtool and then i got root..

now my problem is that i dont have any recovery like TWRP or CWM

ive done a new question thread asking for help on how to get it..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
Install the CWM attached. Wow. Anyway, up to you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smexhy:
I had my nexus 5 for 2 weeks now.

4 days ago i've peeled off the screen protector it came with.

I haven't noticed any imperfections on my screen, but this night i checked the screen to find out... 6 scratches?! 6?

So in 4 days i got 6 scratches? That's emberrasing!

I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone anymore.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Or just be more carefull, i have mine for 4 months now and have 0 scratches. I would recommend it to to anyone ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smexhy:
used it with the care of a new phone, i never dropped it.

It can't get sctratched just by "touching the table, or anything other than soft material" that's dumb...

It's not like i slid it across the table, just placed it on table or plastic...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kreateablaze:
I bought the phone the day it was announced, got it a fee days later.. Never had a screen protector on it and it still looks brand new. It's no different than any other phone with a screen...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Micro scratches happen to all my phones and the n5 is no better or worse. Screen protectors are the best way to prevent.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hello00:
so u wouldnt recommend this phone to anyone 'cause u were careless enough to scratch ur screen? thats like saying i wouldnt recommend anyone to buy an audi 'cause i just had an accident
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyfan61:
I think the implication is that the screen is more prone to scratches than other screens (which may or may not be true). You might be more inclined to not recommend an Audi if the paint protection was inferior and it scratched easily.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hello00:
u stand correct :good:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
It sucks that your phone got scratches so early, but in my experience it's no more scratch prone than any other device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChanceOfChange:
a protector doesnt do much...if you wont use a good one...just use a full cover case and you be fine!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smexhy:
i had my sensation for 2 years . I had screen portector maybe like maximun 5 months of it's total usage and the only scratches i had before i re-sold it were these really deep ones, it didnt had hairline scratches like on the nexus 5.

Did gorilla glass got worse from 1 to 3?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorgtech:
Monkey Glass is still glass. You have to be careful with your device, I´ve never used a screen protector on my GS3 and N5 and never had any scratches. I use a good case though and never put my phone in a pocket with other stuff inside it eg. keys ;)

Even if it should scratch, this is a phone, not a sacred object you have to pray at :angel:

Hi..

I'm planning to get an affordable priced smartphone. I'm thinking of getting Moto G or Lenovo S650. The S650 has 1.3GHz quad-core processor while the Moto G has HD screen. I'm pretty confused now.

I need your help and guidance.

Thanks. :)
[General Topics] adamkEX:
Moto G

I'd go for the Moto G and heres why:

-You'll get more support on this device

-Runs later android 4.4 KITKAT!! whereas the Lenovo 4.2 Jelly Bean

-HD Video Recording

-Better front camera at 1.3MP whereas the Lenovo is 0.3MP

-Larger battery 2070mah where the Lenovo is 2000mah, when buying a smartphone you'll want the best battery you can get

-Has a Qualcomm Snapdragon Processore, may be 100mhz less but still better considering compatibility

Good Luck and if i helped a thanks would be appreciated :p , thanks!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
I know that you want to do OTA .. just curious why use such low version, one version lower than current your hboot is enough. Say you're on hboot 3.19, use 3.18 is enough no need to go as low as 3.16 ;)

You have a S-Off device, you don't need to relock to do anything except when you want to send in to HTC for warranty purpose then you need LOCKED, not RELOCKED.

If it happened that you relocked it already, and you still have S-Off, you can use different command to unlock it. Check : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708571

If you changed the S-Off to S-On, then you can only reunlock it with HTCDev's unlock_code.bin

There is no problem to root when on 5.0.1

Only thing you need to have an insecure stock kernel or custom kernel with write protection disabled for root to work properly.

Yeah ... I'm always around XDA ... :D

If your device is S-ON, and you have an UNLOCKED bootloader, you may run into an error.

If S-ON, then lock up the bootloader using fastboot oem lock

If S-OFF, bootloader can stay UNLOCKED.

OTA will give you an error one way or other if it has an issue. You have changed your CID to ROGER001 right, and MID should already be matching (if coming from BELL)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caanda45:
I am S-off, changed the CID and yes the Bell MID is the same, it downloaded and flashed the latest Rogers firmware, so It is there the recovery, otherwise I gather it would not flash it. I am going to see this through tonight....I will be grumpy tomorrow...FINALLY WE HAVE STOCK RECOVERY!!!

Hi all, I hope someone is still checking this thread.

I have a rogers htc one m8, i was running lolipop prior to running into my problem. I wanted to install sense 7 so i unlocked the bootloader flashed twrp 2.8.6.0 and flashed a root update zip. everything was all good but I didn't pay attention enough to s-off. after trying to flash the m9 software, i deleted all data on my phone including the OS! I've been stuck in twrp for about 3 days and i've tried everything.

I've tried to flash a ANDRODIDREVOLUTIONHD both lolipop and kitkat versions, I get to the last phase of zip installation but when the device boots back up im stuck on the htc splashscreen. I've tried vipeone roms with the same yeild.

I found a twrp backup of a stock rogers htc one m8 online, and when i try backing up my own rom just to create a twrp directory the recovery can recognize i get the error 'failed to make backup folder' whether its on internal storage or my external_sd. I'm all out of solutions and have lost hope at this moment.

Id really appreciate it if someone could please help me.

PS: I know how to work adb and fastboot commands if that counts for anything.
