There should be a remote desktop client already installed on your Wizard. Look in the Programs folder for "Terminal Services Client". It works pretty much the same as it does on big Windows.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Dr Other:
As dumb as this is, I really need a step by step to help me out on this subject.

I'm unsure what is needed to get the Remote Desktop Client working. I have XP Pro. I have a "Remote" section under my home computers system properties. However, the one tutorial I could find asked me to go into Add/Remove Windows Devices and apply some sort of setting there. Upon doing so, I was asked to insert my Windows XP CD which . . . I don't have.

If I don't need that CD, I am open to doing either Remote Desktop or VNC. Whichever is preferable, I guess. I don't know which is more full-featured, which one is quicker, etc.

So I need help getting started. What do I do?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] geekserver:
Hey Dr.Other

Okay here is a step by step to enable remote desktop on your computer ( much better then VNC in my book but I am sure others may disagree..so in the end its personal prefrence...I just like RD (remote desktop) better cause I can stream music if I wanted and its also encrypted (I think I read that some where) any way here it is for remote desktop.

Guessing you are useing Windows XP Pro

Right Click on MY COMPUTER ( on your desktop)

From the menu that opens up Click (Left click) on PROPERTIES

You will see a few tabs in a window called System Properties

Click on the REMOTEtab

Check the Box under the Remote desktop area that say ALL USEERS TO CONNECT REMOTELY TO THIS COMPUTER (its not in caps)

Next click on Select Remote User and click ADD

TYpe in the users name (what ever name you use to login with)

Hit Okay till your back to your desktop

Phone:

Start\Programs\Terminal services Client

under servers type in the IP address of your computer ( Hint try it locally 1st if you have wifi in your house and then click connect) its a bit difficult to naviagate and the colors are not the best ( which leads me toa question ...look at the bottem for the Q ) but it will do...I have hcked email looked at my fav places for a book name I had bookmarked but forgot etc. its really cumbersome but in teh end it may get the job done. Though Fair warning your icons and stuff will be bunched up on your desktop computer once you RD from your Phone

RD to your phone..... What ? can you remote desktop to your phone ?

I think so...if you enable terminal service port on the device you maybe able to connect to it from your computer ...but I am still trying to figure that one out

Question for every one: IS it possible to get better colors when connecting to your home computer via terminal services on your phone ? ...they look like 256 colors (eww)

[LG Optimus 2x] canisdirus:
No keyboard, no recovery or boot loader

I was foolish enough to attempt this mod: Android 4.3 Jelly Bean via Cyanogenmod 10.2 on LG Optimus 2X P990 [CM10.2]

Now I'm stuck with no keyboard, no way to get into recovery or boot loader, all the phone does is boot back to this half-cocked Jellybean when I attempt any of the two.

I get as far as choosing between reboot, recovery and boot loader, but any option (holding the power button down and choosing an option or power off/vol up) gets me the same result, just a simple reboot.

Has anybody come across this, and if yes, have you remedied it? Any tips on accessing the 2X/P990 recovery/boot menu when no conventional methods work?
[LG Optimus 2x] stv0309:
Hold power button and vol - button (phone is off state) should bring you to recovery program and flash another ROM. Or use All in One tool kit to flash stock rom or other rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] diufis:
Try flashing a recovery via aio toolkit, had a similar problem, that was solved by that method.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 85gallon:
I am looking to change my lock ring. I am running cm11 on my xt912.

I have seen an app that is a zip themer but it looks like too much to go through.

I have had a custom one in JB but I can't find the lock icon in kitkat in the framework-res.apk. I used to just replace the .png file inside the famework-res.apk

Does it have a new filename or location? Or is the lockscreen on cm11 in another app (I have heard about cLock, but not sure if that is just the widget)?

I just want to replace the lock ring.

Thanks in advance.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ETFoneHome:
Even though it has no volume buttons on the remote,will the Fire TV have any other source of volume control, maybe within the apps or perhaps using a keyboard media keys?

This would be great for those using PC speakers that don't have a remote or for not having to use two remotes. Of all the set tops I have used, only Chromecast allows volume control via app. I can even turn off the phone's screen and still be able to use the volume buttons.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M0D1N:
I like the idea of controlling my volume with the FTV remote. It's android so maybe someone could tie system volume to the up and down buttons on the ring button of the FTV remote during video play back or audio playback. I do recognize there are times when you want to use the up and down rather than volume control though.

Just my $0.02
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nba1341:
Yea I am trying to watch prime movie right now and I can barley here it with my tv volume all the way up. Volume boosting options would be nice too
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavagnaro:
I also second this requirement. Using NetFlix with my Bluetooth speakers is a pain to control volume. Would be awesome to be able to use AFTV own remote control.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuandinh:
I ended up with buying speakers or an amplifier with a volume remote control instead.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roustabout:
Under 13, XBMC had a volume control that let you adjust gain during video playback (not music playback, IIRC.)

So it's possible to adjust the gain of the digital output - but it's important to understand that it is a digital output, whether via HDMI or optical out, and many apps simply will not touch a digital volume - doing so in some ways defeats the point of digitally reproducing sound since in theory you want to avoid altering the signal in the digital domain, you want to get it to the analog gain stage untouched, and then increase the signal amplitude there.

Ah, figured it out:

You need to disable passthrough in the audio menu of the video you're watching -- failing to do that means that you're telling the system 'pass through an exact copy of the audio' - which precludes fiddling with the gain of the signal (and thus compressing it.)

Once that's done, the gain slider operates.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindeshaun:
Kodi has controls for adjusting the volume. I use Lepai 2.1 amplifier with 2 speakers and a passive sub-woofer. I use Kodi to watch my OTA (Over-the-Air) digital recordings. It goes from HDMI, to the TOS digital out, converted to RCA out to the amplifier. If Kodi can adjust the volume for the recorded OTA programming, there is now reason why FireTv does not have some main volume control. That would be nice.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpi3141:
did you find a way to do it by any chance?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jayman007:
It's a shame that no solution to this has been found. I get that Kodi has it but that's not all I watch with my firestick.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dishe:
Curious, what happens if you connect a media remote (BT keyboard or Rii style remote) and press the volume controls? On my old Android AMLogic box, it adjusts the system volume. This works for me because I use an analog amplifier and projector for watching, and just turn the amp a little higher than I usually want it. That way I can "turn down" the system volume to about 75% and then go up and down as needed for whatever I'm watching.

I'm thinking of replacing my box with a Fire Stick (the lack of native DRM content in HD is getting to me, I only get HD with Kodi), but this very basic functionality might be a deal breaker for me. I know the new remotes have volume but they control the TV / reciever's IR (if there is one). I want to adjust the Android system volume! Is there no way on the Fire OS?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g422:
i have a rii remote the volume buttons dont do anything. for full use of these remotes the device has to be full android not modified like amazon has. rii remotes are great with rooted firetv with xposed edge. i havent used kodi in min but i use to have my remote mapped to turn up volume amplication on low sounding videos.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dishe:
Aw man. I already have full android devices, but the cheap ones (read: anything that isn't as obscenely priced as an nvidia shield) don't handle DRM content like Amazon and Netflix in anything more than 480p. I seriously hate how complicated DRM makes things, I pay for Amazon and Netflix, but to get full quality content out of my device it's easier to pirate it with a Kodi plug in. Ridiculous.

I was hoping a Fire Stick could be a good alternative, but it sounds like it has its own user experience issues in the way I want to use it.

Rooted Fire TV w/Exposed- does that work on all editions of the stick? And would the volume buttons work then as well?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g422:
yes xposed edge would work with any rooted device(need xposed installer) however no control over fire tv volume believe its fixed. edge allows for button remapping which pairs well with a rii remote, makes all the buttons that have no function with fire tv have a function of your choice

I noticed that Windows 8 doesn't give a whole lot of choice in regards to what software to use. Tried Picasa, not too keen, tried 3rd party sync programs (Puresync, easy2share etc) that are supposedly able to work with ptp and mtp devices but just didn't work. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of choice... O.o

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AyaNeko:
Hi, i rooted my Z1 on Monday and a few questions pop up, so what did i do:

i had 4.4.2, so i downgraded, then rooted, then installed dualrecovery, then using CWM i flashed [Nut]'s .681 FTF and saw i got superSU and stuff, checked for root and i seem to have root. phone seems to be working fine.

Q1: What is the stripped FTF for? i flashed the corresponding stripped FTF later, also from [Nut], but it kinda broke things, and i started to experience strange things like vibration&sound gone, gyroscope not working, etc. so i flashed [Nut]'s .681 back but without the stripped FTF - works fine this way and i got root. In my research i found that the stripped FTF supposedly only contains a kernel. is that true? what is different in that kernel? do i need it or can i keep the kernel that comes with the .681 ROM?

Q2: Today i found out a new version came out the .757. i purchased Titanium backup, and made backups of my third party apps and data. i also made a TWRP backup, and i am considering flashing the new .757 ROM. But i would like to know if there is a way to save my email settings, i mean not the emails or sms itself, don't care about that, but the email accounts and its settings like pop, smtp, email, exchange email, etc

because everytime i flash a new rom on my z1, i need to setup like 6 email accounts and its getting annoying. so Q2 is: is there a good way to backup those?

Q3: do i need a stripped .757 ftf?

Q4: for third party apps to have write access to my sd card, i had to install a fix for the permission.xml in .681 because google supposedly changed the required permissions, do i have to fix it in .757 too? if yes, can i use the same installer? afaik it's just adding a few lines in permission.xml, then setting the proper owner(root root) and attributes (644 was it?), so theoretically if all that installer does is replace that one file it should work right?

Q5: i purchased setCPU Pro to find out it can't set the governor and frequencies on the other cores, just on the first one. so i tried a few others and use "Multicore CPU Control Free" now, it says the free version only lets me set stuff on the first core, but it seems like i can also set the other cores and also the settings seem to work. so i am kinda satisfied, but is there a better one?

Thanks for reading and answering in advance! i am quite new to this rooting and unlocking and flashing thing....:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
You need to follow the instructions in the OP of the rom.

You have not done that, that's why you are hitting problems.

Flash the .zip and then WITHOUT REBOOTING the phone flash the stripped FTF, and yes, you do need it
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AyaNeko:
oh, i see, yes i did indeed boot into the rom before flashing the stripped FTF. still without the stripped FTF it seems to work fine, i have root and can run all apps requiring root.

So what exactly is the stripped FTF for?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Basicaly it installs the correct kernel without flashing user data, apps or system

The kernel has probably not changed between 681 and 757 so it will probably work without flashing that if you are coming from 681.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AyaNeko:
i see, thanks, so is there a way to keep all my settings and flash to newest version .757?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
yes. if you are on 681 now just follow the instructions in the OP
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AyaNeko:
wow i just flashed .757 and really didn't lose my data. i thought when i flash a another Rom it always deletes everything? Thanks!

this time i also understood correctly that after flashing 757 i had to turn off and immediatly flash the ftf. looks like no problem so far. Thanks for explaining that too!
