Hi all,

I have been an iPhone user for a long time and have become frustrated with the methodical cycling of old tech via new OS', so I want to switch over to Android. That beginning said, I want to upgrade my phone to Cyanogenmod 11 (M5 I believe?) but I definitely need some technical help. I am not looking to brick my phone.

I read a few guides on how one goes about upgrading their device but there are still some points I am unsure of. A large area of confusion for me at the moment is this:

-What is the difference between a unlocked bootloader and a rooted device? My understanding is that an unlocked bootloader is more basic, like having access to the "BIOS" in your phone. A rooted device, on the other hand, pertains to the OS, as if one was upgrading between Ubuntu and Windows. I am confused because the article I read states that I can flash a custom ROM in the unlocked bootloader, without rooting. If this is the case, why would anyone want root access?

-Nightly vs. snaphot vs. stable: I understand that these represent levels of stability that increases from nightly to stable. My question is regarding updating. If I install a nightly/snapshot, will I have to flash/wipe/etc every time I want to install an upgrading nightly?

-Lastly, I have had on my eye on this guide for when I upgrade: (REMOVE BRACKETS FROM "COM")

true-android.blogspot.[com]/2013/12/update-verizon-galaxy-nexus-sch-i515-to_17.html

Is that good guide to go by? Does that make any assumptions about upgrading that new user like me would not be aware of?

Thank you for any help.

and if i can would you give me a link for stock recovery ? I couldn't find it here :(
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] bibhu60:
may be not

I don't think you can without reflashing stock rom.

BTW whats the problem with cwm or twrp ???

They are much better than stock recovery

And we don't get any OTA update so we don't need stock recovery for any reason..

:D

Will it delete both the animation or only one.... I Was on xperia & right now I m on stock Rom but when I reboot my device it first shows xperia logo( it's only logo, not animation) and then stock boot animation starts. I want to delete that xperia logo only, not stock boot animation....
[Micromax Canvas 4 A210] MasterAwesome:
If you want to change the boot logo and not the animation you've got to edit the boot_logo file which is present in the /system/media/images. If you want to customize it, Customize by using this guide If you want the stock boot_logo, i've uploaded it here

tell me if your problem is solved or not. see in boot animation app you'll find your samsung boot animation too. so first delete your default animations, then download and install the desired one.

[Other SmartWatches] scoobdriver:
I'm pretty sure I had this working on the NA Rom, I'm now using the Stock EU 8GB Rom and the workout app wont start when my HRM is paired..

It crashes and force closes.

However the HRM does pair, and I can see my Heartrate displayed when I use the Heart rate clock face.

Anyone experienced this ? Any fix anyone knows of ?
[Other SmartWatches] scoobdriver:
Reading Moto Support forums, looks like it may have stopped working in ROM upgrade to 1.7.xx Does anyone have 1.6.13 for example ?
[Other SmartWatches] J*R:
Fix for pairing with Polar H7

Hi scoobdriver,

This problem is related to versions 1.7.x of the MotoACTV firmware. There are several posts in the Motorola forums, but no official answer from Moto for the last two years. Up to now, the only solution if you wanted to pair your H7 with the MotoACTV was to revert to 1.6.12 (the last rom working with the H7). Luckily, ClearD root tool can do that for you ("return to stock" functionality flashes 1.6.12). Please read the instructions carefully before you try to root your device if you choose to follow this path.

In my case, I decided to follow a different path and go into the code for comparing both 1.7.10/12 and 1.6.12 (the last working rom). I found out that some dev at Moto thought that a null pointer check was not necessary when setting up the activity screen, and this caused an uncaught null pointer exception and the already famous crash "Sorry. The application Workout (com.motorola.gault.activity) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Surprisingly, it had nothing to do with BLE protocol or with any compatibility problem with Polar implementation/interpretation of BLE.

I have fixed and repackaged the conflictive apk (attached); after several tests and workouts it has not given me any problems. If you want to test it, you can update you MotoACTV to the latest rom (1.7.10/1.7.12) with MotoCast, root it (read the available excellent tutorials on how to do it, if you need), download the attached file and copy it to the device with adb:

adb remount
adb pull /system/app/Workout.apk Workout_backup.apk # (if you want to backup your original apk)
adb push Workout.apk /system/app/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Workout.apk

I know it could be packaged in a more friendly (non-adb) way, but I want to make sure it really works before going on. I have tested it with ClearD rom, but it should also work for a stock rom. Anyway, be warned that rooting and playing with adb is at your own risk, as usual. In any case, If you test the modified apk and you get any undesired result, do not hesitate to come back to this post.
[Other SmartWatches] rocos:
Thank you so much for this J*R! I just bought a motoactv just to use it with BLE accessories and none were working until I applied your APK. Straight forward very easy to follow instructions. Everything is working now.

I can't believe Motorola is not doing anything about it. Even if it's a discontinued product, it doesn't have to be a useless one....

not working

Hi and thank s for your work.

i m cleardroid rooted (1.7.10) and put your workout.apk fix on my actv...but still not ok. (Same msg: workout... crash....try again later)

First time, when i try to backup my original workout.apk in adb , the file was not founded on my actv. I push whatever your apk in system/app and everything is ok in adb. But nothing change for my problem when i try to launch a jogging.Is it possible that my actv system path is different of your example? (System/app)

i dont know if is it possible to explore the system file of my actv, at least for know where path is my original workout and replace it by your fix.

thank s man and sorry for my ugly english...i m french. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
There are very few open source launchers for Android. In fact, probably not more than 3 including CM's Trebuchet, which is very large (13mb) and ram hungry. The other launchers are all closed source, which means you really don't know what they are doing (and communicating to and from) on your device.

Here is Launcher Advanced compiled by me from sources and shared under GPL3 license.

This is very lightway, but rather feature rich launcher, which allows a large variety of ADW themes added.

Although, the launcher is available on Googleplay, this is a compilation for those who don't use Googleplay. Plus, unlike Google, in my version you could be sure that no Google dirty finger has touched the app.

INSTRUCTIONS: Unzip the file, install it as a regular app and REBOOT.

I have tried Tuma, Logout and Ivans versions and agree with the comments elsewhere on speed, reliability, battery use etc. However, I have had a problem with ALL of these ROMS - the phone stops working after 60 seconds (or less)!?! I have also tried 1.12, 1.13 and 1.15 of Radio but still the phone calls drop.

No-one else seems to have reported this problem so thought it was my device but I've reverted back to WM2003SE and it works fine. I really want to use WM5 and wonder whether there is an issue with the operator ID or if for some reason Orange are only allowing emergency type calls?

Hi all,

I want to buy a new phone and I am confused regarding the performance and graphical processing unit.

I have 4 combinations on my list. Please help me to choose one on basis of performance.

1. Qualcomm MSM8960T Snapdragon, Dual-core 1.7 GHz Krait, Adreno 320, with 1 GB of RAM [Sony Xperia SP]

2. Qualcomm MSM8930 Snapdragon 400, Dual-core 1.7 GHz Krait, Adreno 305, with 1.5 GB of RAM [Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini]

3. Qualcomm MSM8226 Snapdragon 400, Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7, Adreno 305, With 1 GB of RAM [Motorola Moto G]

4. Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon, Dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait, Adreno 225, With 2 GB of RAM [Blackberry Z10]

I want to buy a phone that can run android apps, and that's why Z10 is on this list.

I kind of like the interface of BB Z10 and I would like to buy it, but I think the processor and GPU are kind of outdated.

There is one more option. I can wait for BB Z3 to come which features Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, Dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7, Adreno 305, With 1.5 GB of RAM.

Please help me choose one on the basis of performance and light gaming.

Thank you.

While using titanium backup i froze all apps. (too hard headed I didn't care about the warning) but I made backups on apps that I think was important. It was working just fine. But when I restarted it. The logo just appeared. It's almost a day and it's still like that please help me gosh I hoped it wasn't bricked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carlyle_f:
Unless you remember all the apps you froze, which is unlikely, go into recovery mode and factory reset your device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DearestMartha:
Oh. Thank you. I have tried it. But I don't know.. Is it possible that I froze something that is required for the recovery?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carlyle_f:
If you can get into recovery then no, are the any custom Roms for your device? I suggest you try flashing one. They normally have all the bloatware removed already. Either that or flash your stock ROM again using Odin. Which device do you have?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DearestMartha:
It's an LG L7 p705 sir. It's rooted but I haven't flashed any custom roms yet.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DearestMartha:
I really think I froze something that has to do with the recovery. I can't access it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carlyle_f:
If you prefer stock ROM then use Odin to flash a stock ROM on your device. I don't see any other way out of this
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neutrondev:
Can you acces Emergency Mode my friend. Pull out battery. Insert it back then Hold Volume up + Volume down + power button tell me if you see a yellow screen.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
I doubt you can use Odin as you say you have an lg device. Many lg devices have fastboot access via bootloader if yours is on then you should be fine. I doubt you froze anything that would keep you from booting to the recovery as you can't freeze your kernel so keep trying to get there. But a factory reset will doubtfully help as you probably removed some system apps that don't return when doing a factory reset, but still worth a try

If you can get into recovery and a factory reset doesn't help then wipe all and then flash a custom ROM.

If this won't work than hope you have fastboot access and or another method such as nvflash or whatever
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DearestMartha:
Acamew revolutions

Ok. Thank you so much for your replies I really appreciate it. I guess that recovery is my only hope.. I'll try to get to it. I was nervous that I think I froze something that have to do with the recovery. I'll try to be more careful now, I'll just post if it's working fine now.

Hello guys,

I bought my Moto G (Indian, Dual Sim with Kitkat out-of-the-box) couple of days back.

So here are few issues:

1) While I connected it to wall charger, there's no charging animation showed even though its charging. Is it like that with everyone?

2) It doesn't get charged while I connect it through USB to my Windows 7 PC. Normal?

3) It gets connected only as MTP. No Mass Storage Device option in the USB Connection. And it doesn't let me copy folders. Only individual files. Anyone else?

Thanks for your replies.

[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] Kachal:
Hello,

I have created an app in Eclipse and never had problem updating it and exporting it to apk. Suddenly, I am getting the "invalid keystore format" when I try to export. I can create a new keystore, but it will not allow subsequent updates to the same APK. Here is my situation:

1. I use the latest Eclipse version as of today.

2. My app is free with no ads or in app purchases, so no special key from google was uses.

3. I have not forgotten the password to the keystore.

4. I get this message when I try to export app update to the same apk: "Key alias selection: Invalid keystore format" and the Alias droop down menu is empty.

Again, I have never had problem with this before and it suddenly came out of nowhere. I have even created new test apps and gone through the process above with the same results.

I have not found anything on the Internet that address my problem. Most have to do with entering the wrong password and not putting in the correct keystore which is not the case here.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kachal
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] Kachal:
I believe I have figured it out after two days of knocking my head: Being a novice, I believe when I first created the keystore file, I used the exact same name for the apk file and the keystore and Eclipse simply overwrote the file and thus destroyed my keystore file. It was dumb of me to do that but I wish Eclipse was smart enough to catch or prevent that by forcing a file extension for the keystore.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] aiweNN:
160

i have maybe the same problem now. i also used the same name for keystore and for my first apk file. i realized that when i wanted to do my first update, but when i choosed this file in eclipse, it worked and i did more than 15 updates this way. BUT then i updated my android SDK to higher version and my keystore file (with dumb name) is no longer working => Invalid keystore format

now i am really confused what to do... any idea? :-/
