[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
Only real benefits of putting a ROM in stock slot is saving space on your internal sd card. There are other, little conveniences but that is the main one

I don't know what you mean about installing the recovery without the stock ROM. Safestrap is a root required.apk(application) that installs a hijack for a custom recovery. Once installed it stays there like I said in the previous post, til it is uninstalled or upgraded, or you flash a fresh firmware with a utility.

You don't want to upgrade it without having a ROM installed prior. The new safestrap .apk gives you the option of uninstalling the old 3.65 hijack then installing the new 3.72, it won't install over the old, you have to remove it first. You have to do this in the application, not in recovery, so that means a ROM will already have to be installed.

Right now you should just concentrate on flashing a ROM in stock slot if that is what you want, worry about the recovery update later, as it isn't a requirement. Maybe do some reading first so you have a better understanding of what you are doing before you do it. And figure out how to get yourself out of a problem before you get into it.

As for ROM's, all of them work with safestrap. All of them have their own individual kinks, bugs, and fixes. You would have to read through the individual ROM's forums see which ones you want to try out. I like SlimKat myself, and there are also custom JB ROM's. Since you are using a xt912 you will want spyder versions of ROM's not umts-spyder, that is for xt910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aneeshmbabu:
Thanksbfor the fruitful info
[Motorola Droid RAZR] imucarmen:
you seem to klnow what you are talking about. I need help bad. I deleted the stock rom but didn't flash another rom over that slot but just used slot 1 because thats what i had been using and now the phone doesn't boot. I don't get the safestrap logo either. Just the moto logo and then a black screen. Is the phone hard bricked or can I save it somewhow?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
If you are only going to have one slot has to be stock. If you read hashcode's information on that you would have known. Since you are getting the Motorola logo, your bootloader is still there. You are a repairable softbrick.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2192467

This is matlgrofs utility for the xt912.. make sure to thank him. Follow the direction's EXACTLY!

It will flash a fresh firmware on your phone. And allow you to root it. The safestrap .Apk is a 2.xx Version so your backups wont work with it. So after you flashed the firmware and rooted, you can install the newer safestrap Apk.

Battery life is pretty important with this process, so the phone needs to be 100 (the phone doesn't charge in AP) you cannot cut this corner, if your battery goes dead in the middle of the firmware flash your phone very well will become a brick
[Motorola Droid RAZR] imucarmen:
thanks for the reply. I actually figured it out on my own. I already had that utility because I used it to root. I just didn't realise I could use it to recover the phone from a soft brick. I also didn't know what the button combo was but I did some reading this morning and thanks to the helpful post of others in various threads I sorted everything out. So everything is running good now and I'm using liquid smooth kitkat with ART enabled and tethering works so I'm happy. This is my first experience with a motorola device and so far it's been the easiest to get rooted and a custom recovery installed, but that whole rom slot thing through me off. thought since I had a rom installed already I could just wipe the stock rom but learned it doesnt work like that...so now I know. Thanks again for the reply though, your info is spot on :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Zymz:
This is intriguing to think about, so can safestrap be uninstalled / installed from any working rom slot with any working custom rom?

I can see why this would be helpful, especially to save internal space. Is there a good minimalistic custom rom with enhanced utilities that could be installed in the stock slot for maintenance purposes? Or should I just backup my stock rom and put my favorite rom in the stock slot and just use it for advanced maintenance?

I do think though the first option might be smarter since it's good to have a maintenance stock rom that won't be modified through regular use to be able to boot into for specific tasks.

Any recommendations for stock slot replacement? you did mention slimkat, but are there any ultra basic yet utility heavy custom roms out there for spyder? (I'm using XT912)

Also do I need to do any other specific backup of my stock rom? other than the full back up in safestrap?

Trying to get Ac!d to work on the atrix hd I had it on my old phone and it kicks ass like so much so that I will get another phone if I can't get it working. Anyone get it working if so one what rom? I installed it but when I go to use it in google Play music the eq just crashes.

The next great thing is here!

Because good things take time to build I now present you all the application/service from the company that I've been helping been working on the last months, tirelessly.

It's called FacesIn, it's a geolocation service that works together with the most popular social networks (Google+ will be added soon, the APIs are lacking but we may have found a way to add it to our service) to help you get together with friends that are nearby you. The application description speaks for itself so without further ado here's the link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wizi.facesin

We're confident enough that the application is in a very good state to be shared publicly. Be advised that its still in development and we work daily to improve it!! The main developer is [MENTION=4446775]cgollner[/MENTION] so you know it's top notch work with my maximum level of confidence!

Our goal is to reach 1000 users by the end of April so we count on YOU to help us spread this FREE application to all your friends and family.

We'll soon be running special contests and giveaways because we love our users, so stay tuned!

We welcome all kinds of feedback and feature suggestion so I also ask you to join our community and help us build a great social experience.

That's an improvement, but if someone is out on the town and want to see who's nearby then 1 month old data won't help. Optimally this should be user adjustable to within a day or even hours for major metro areas.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] thisnamestoolong:
I won't mention which particular ROM this is, as I am only using it for personal use and have no wish to make the developers of the particular ROM feel as though I am expecting support for this clearly unsupported endeavour. By copying over the appropriate libraries (APNs, RIL drivers, etc) and editing build.prop, I was successfully able to boot the ROM, and all network functions worked with the exception of receiving phone calls (mobile data of all speeds, outgoing calls, send and receive SMS, wifi, Bluetooth, and GPS). Would anyone here have any clue what I could have missed? I realize that this is a fairly open ended question, and am not expecting a lot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] orateam:
I've done this a few times with T-mobile roms.

List the detail step by step methods you took, i'll see if you missed something. I was going to create a porting how-to thread but i'm too lazy. :) Perhaps yours will serve as one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] thisnamestoolong:
Okay, here is a quick breakdown:

(The rom is question is based on the official Verizon 4.3 TW build)

1) I copied apns-conf.xml, GlobalConfig.jar, SecPhone.apk and more or less any library file with 'ril' in the title from the old rom to the new.

2) I edited build.prop to replace every reference to Verizon to reference T-Mobile, including device names

3) I did a factory reset (inc cache and Dalvik), installed the repackaged rom, then installed a T-Mobile 4.3 TW friendly kernel.

4) The default apn was epc.tmobile.com, which I had to change to fast.t-mobile.com to get LTE. After this change EVERYTHING net related with the exception of receiving phone calls worked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] orateam:
looks complete, are you sure the ROM you're porting didn't include a verizon baseband? try flashing a Tmobile phone baseband.
[General Accessories] yoda_143:
The settings for my RBT-3000 really confuse me.

Ok, NMEA/SiRF I understand. The other 6 settings (GGS,GSV,GLL,RMC,GSA,VTG) are part of the NMEA protokoll I think. But what do the numbers do?

What is "Degraded Mode" ?

What's the "DOP mask" ? I can switch between PDOP, HDOP, GDOP and "disabled" and set a value between 1 and 50 for it.

What's the "Elevation Mask" ?

I also have another setting: "SBAS Mode" enabled/disabled what does it do?

Maybe someone here has the answers for me, or can point me to another place where I might find the answers. No luck with google so far.

Thanks.

I already know there's an Xposed module for multiwindow but it lack a few features to get as polished as Samsung multiwindow. Mainly, the ability to maximize an app after this app has been put into dual view. I tried the multiwindow Xposed module an once an app has been put in dual view, you can't go back. The only way to go back to full view is too close and then reopen the app. Also, the Xposed module is still quite buggy...

Though HM-700 comes with a nice draw string pouch and arm-band strap, I wanted a more heavy duty protection when traveling or inside of a backpack. Since I recently reviewed Pelican 1020 case for another DAP, I didn't realize their 1010 case fits HM-700 like a glove and leaves enough room for RE400B and cables!!!

Pelican 1010 case (http://www.pelicancases.com/1010-p/1010.htm) is only $13.50 and probably the most rugged solution you can find to protect HM-700. What sets Pelican cases apart is their extremely durable construction and IP67 rating. These cases are water resistant, dustproof, crushproof, and come with lifetime guarantee. They have an easy open latch, stainless steel hardware, removable rubber lining (which also works as o-ring), and one way air valve. As a bonus it comes with a carabiner, and there are two slots for lanyard attachment.

Here is how it looks:

Hello guys so here is the issue

None of the usb 3.0 device seems to work In otg mode(all usb 3.0 devices are reverse compatible to usb 2.0) i plugged my 500gb hdd with externa power then a 16 gb usb 3.0 pendrive with no success as soon as the device get recognised i see usb safe to remove notification and then no udisk in explorer.

I seriously need a solution as all my usb devices are usb 3.0

Also when the hardware is capablr of usb 3.0 why did gionee crippled it to usb2.0 only?
[GiONEE Elife E7] GTARaja:
Usb 3.0 port differs from 2.0 see the usb port of note 3 so it might be a problem to include it....since some HDD consume more power they will not work..ive tried with OTG and a trancend usb 3.0 8gb pendrive and it worked flawlessly
[GiONEE Elife E7] dhirajranger:
yeah i know the port differs but since the soc is same i think we can solder a usb 3.0 with some tweaking. anyways i provided hdd with esternal power with the help of a cable i modified. also did you tried any 16gb pendrive? i think size may have been a problem too?

also pls can you try an external hddso that i woud be certain that this is not a issue with my phone only. thanks in advance

anybody else getting same issue? (notification saying usb safe to remove..)
[GiONEE Elife E7] Hubriss:
All you have to do is install Paragon NTFS & HFS+ on your phone & grant it superuser permission. Now use ES File Explorer to go to the /mount directory & you will find your hard disk partition there.

Sometimes you may get an error while trying to access the files in the secondary partitions. For this issue you will have to manually unmount those partitions in Paragon app and mount them to a location of your choice.

Hope this helps.

Hello

As i was having some peculiar problems with existing ROM Version, I reverted back to Orignal O2 Asia ROM.

Reverting back went successful. I saw that after reverting back I stopped at Setup will start in 3 seconds and i restarted the O2 to get the extended rom details. I copied all the files on my Laptop and then I used the first 416 Bytes and copied in the new extended ROM downloaded. After complete activity, i found that i am not able to boot the O2, SO I reverted back with the Orignal O2 Asia ROM. Still i am not able to see the Storage

Something which i think i did wrong:Orig O2 Asia ROM having files

ROM:1.12.00 WWE

ROM date 05/28/05

Radio: 1.12.00

Protocol:1337.42

ExtROM Version:1.12.550 WWE

Big Storage ROM File which i used for insert 416 bytes was downloaded from ftp site which was BigStorage_ROMs_WWE_1.13.00.zip

What went wrong?

Why i am not able to see the storage part?

HOw should I recover back the storage containing extended ROM part?

Please Help

Also, which is the best stable ROM with exact file path and also the extended ROM file with Big Storage.

Incase you have some files which you would like to share pls mail me on mbangur@gmail.com
