Oh I see, my car's cigar lighter stays live even with the engine off and also my version of TomTom doesn't quit when I close the lid or switch on/off...if you really wanted to, you could rewire the cigar lighter into an "always on" live wire...

PS I'm not saying this whole whing isn't annoying - just offering a solution!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] QuaCKeReD:
Yeah, I could re-wire car, but then I'de risk draining battery with everything thats plugged into lighter socket.......definately dont fancy that!!!

hi Steve,

1) you need a usb cable that have 2 USB connectors to your laptop. I believe the laptop (especially the newer versions from 2005 onwards) limits the amount of power to be drawn per USB connection. Previously I have this issue, I tried using the USB cable with 2 USB connectors to the laptop (the cable is from by external HDD casing), it works.

2) Later I had upgrade to the latest Activesync, it solve this issue and I can use back the original cable from O2.

Regards,

Dan

Hi there, as the title says i am using vipers rom and would like to know how to install certain fonts through the VenomTweaks setting panel, apparently it does not find the fonts if i put them in the SDCARD folder. Could it be that i am missing something here?

Thanks in advance, cheers. :laugh:

go to venom hub and you will find tons of fonts :D

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicphone:
So I got this Defy+ (story here if anyone cares).

I formatted the SD card, put a compatible *** ROM on it, restarted.

When the blue led flashed, I pressed power + vol. down, so I was able to start recovery. Then I cleaned up, wanted to install the ROM. I got an error message something like 'it did not succeed' then also prompted if I want to restore root access with which there was a problem with, I clicked yes.

Now if I start the device the red Motorola logo turns up then nothing, no blue LED to boot into recovery. So what's next?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicphone:
Sorry. Anyone has any idea? Or am I supposed to be without phone? :(

Pls. help!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shashank3131:
looks like u bricked ur phone

So here is what you should do:

1) Get RSD Lite

2) Download a compatible SBF

3) Flash it and get the phone up and running

Go through the DEFY Forum for instructions flashing and stuff

this might help

Now what's next? I truly appreciate you.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dau_:
Looks like you'll need to start over from scratch. I'll try:

0. Make sure your battery is charged, if possible. Power loss while flashing will brick your phone. I think the Defy refuses to flash if it's low on power, but i'm not sure on that.

1. Get RSD Lite. There's a link in the Beginner's Guide under How To Flash. Make sure your Motorola USB Drivers are installed.

2. Download a SBF from here. I only have a regular Defy, so i can't recommend a + one, just try one that fits your country.

3. Open RSD Lite, click the three dots [...] and choose your SBF.

4. Boot up the Defy in Bootloader mode (VolUp+Power) and connect via USB.

5. Wait until RSDLite identifies your Defy (can take a few seconds) and the Start button becomes available. Click it and wait, flashing takes a while. When done, it should say "finished" under "status" and "pass" under "result", so disconnect and power up the phone. After a looong boot (can take 10+min), you should end up in a stock Android.

6. Charge your battery. You really don't want your phone dying in the middle of a flash.

7. Meanwhile, download some stuff and put it on your SD card:

The latest Framaroot

2ndInit 2.3

defy_twrp_recovery_2.6.3.0.zip

The CM11 nightly of your choice

BaNkS Minimal GApps for 4.4.2 (If needed)

8. Now root the phone: First allow installing apps from unsafe sources in the phone settings, then install Framaroot using a file explorer. Run the app and root (Gimli).

9. Install and run 2ndInit, Click Install 2ndInit Recovery, reboot. Wait for the LED to turn blue, then press Volume Down and you should end up in the custom recovery (CWM).

10. In CWM, navigate to "install zip from sdcard", choose defy_twrp_recovery_2.6.3.0.zip and flash it. Reboot into recovery again, which should now be TWRP.

11. In TWRP, first wipe data/factory reset, then install your CM11 nightly. Reboot into system. That will again take a while.

12. If you need GApps, then reboot again, wait for the splash screen and choose recovery, then install the GApps file.

And that should be it, i hope i haven't forgotten anything. In any case, you should be aware that CM11 on the Defy is pretty much beta at the moment, so you shouldn't expect a totally stable system with everything working like it's supposed to.

Are you installing 1.2.0? Which carrier model phone do you have? Until this most recent update there was no support for T mobile or AT&T, there is now. Make sure you have the correct recovery, and the most recent build of Viper for the M8, do a full wipe and then install. Let me know your result.

Correctly-installed Busybox is required before installing V4A.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsymbol:
1. ROOT your device.

2. Install busybox if doesn’t come with root.

3. Modify build.prop:

Open up /system/build.prop in text editor using any file explorer with root access.

tunnel.decode=true to tunnel.decode=false

Ipa.decode=true to lpa.decode=false

lpa.use-stagefright=true to lpa.use-stagefright=false

Save.

4.Download, extract and copy ViPER4Android_FX_A4.x.apk to your device. (I chose this apk)

5. Install the apk

6. Run ViPER4Android_FX app from app drawer, allow root access if asked.

7. When driver installation prompted, choose Yes.

8. V4A auto detects your CPU and show available driver modes below :

No modes: For processors with or without VFP .

Battery Saving: Available for all processors with NEON.

High Quality Mode: Available for processors with NEON.

Super Audio Quality: Available for processors with NEON. (I chose this option)

9. Choose your desired selection.

10. After installation done, Reboot device.

11. Open up V4A FX, in menu, FX Compatible Mode set to Normal Mode.

12. Slide to the right to select Headset. I ticked every boxes (EXCEPT Force Enable V4A) & select extreme.

13. In PowerAmp > Audio > Advanced Tweaks > make sure all boxes de-selected.

14. Play a song from PowerAmp (choose whatever equalizer preset you want)

15. Go back to Viper4AndroidFX app > Menu (3 dots) > Driver Status. If the small window has "Processing: Yes". then you got V4P installed correctly.

Nothing incredible here, just thought I'd do this to make it easy for anyone that wants to tinker with the kernel source.

I uploaded it without any changes, and will leave the master branch untouched so it can just be easily cloned​

NCB Kernel Source

git clone git@github.com:sleshepic/SM-G900P_kernel.git​

ND2 Kernel Source​

git clone git@github.com:sleshepic/SM-G900P_kernel_ND2.git​

​

Once more progress is made i'm sure we'll move the thread, until then, hope this helps make it one step easier getting kernel builds going.

noticed we're using the 4.7 toolchain for this one.

and here's the Readme that comes with for Ref.

################################################################################

1. How to Build

- get Toolchain

From android git server , codesourcery and etc ..

- arm-eabi-4.7

- edit Makefile

edit "CROSS_COMPILE" to right toolchain path(You downloaded).

On a side note, have a zImage and boot.img made. Tested last night but had to start debugging recovery a Lil before we start flashing roms and kernels it seems. So have a rooted deodexed update zip, and kernel, just need to get em to flash now... huge thanks to Garwynn for help along the way
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] garwynn:
I'll be in touch with you later today. Want to pick up where we left off but think we need to temporarily look at recovery again. And I need to do some reading in these forums to see where things stand (rooting, recovery, flashes, etc.) as I haven't touched anything post-Knox, even on my S4.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] garwynn:
OK, testing time. Since it's not at the top of the thread I have to add here.

Warning: Your device, your responsibility. By choosing to flash you inherently and solely accept the risks of said flash.

I'm doing these by Odin because most folks know how to flash in there AND it's an easy recovery process.

So, here are the links...

NCB Stock Kernel (for restore/recovery)

Flash test in Odin, if it hangs at splash screen for more than 30 seconds, consider it hung.

Go back to download mode and flash stock kernel.

Any feedback that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.

At this point I need a verifiable boot before anything else.

Thanks!

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] sleshepic:
Dont worry I wouldnt say its a big issue yet. Ive had many scary flashes already with this phone (kernels via odin and philz, recovery flashes, rom flashes etc) with many hung screens and failed attempts and all have been rectified by a restore in recovery. So I will say backups are key.

Will look into a re-upload

Edit: re-uploading

Edit2: re-uploaded. Thanks garwynn!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] xSLAYERx:
Hmm, same link for the stock kernel? getting same error.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] garwynn:
Just uploaded one more time. Know this is the right one because I flashed from here again to check.

If still doesn't work let me know and I'll ask rwilco12 to look into a possible server issue.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] xSLAYERx:
Yeah, still not working. Not sure whats going on. Im downloading stock firmware now but its gonna take me 2hrs. im not too worried yet as I can just pull the kernel from that or flash the whole damn firmware if I need to. I should have made a backup before I screwed with this but didnt think I would have problems restoring the stock kernel.

I was asked to do a review of the RavPower 2800mAh replacement battery for my Samsung S4.

A bit of history, I have the S4 for verizon, I run Vanir Rom and use Ktoons kernel. I also have a pebble watch that pulls weather every 20 to 60 minutes.

Prior to using in my phone, I used my external battery charger to ensure it was at 100% when I put it into my phone. Normally I charge every night but last night I said to myself, I want to see how long it will go compared to the stock battery.

Attached is a screenshot and I am well over 5 hours my norm and still have 27% left.

Personally, if you are looking for a good, solid replacement, I would certainly purchase one of these.

Sync on the Blue Angel did - and still does - work fine. Only the Universal does not get connected. It says on the desktop that it was trying to connect, but that takes forever and in the end, only the green arrows went circling about. On the device, I am missing a window pop-up which came under wm2003 when it connected on AS, but I guess they don't have this anymore. When I click on the sync icon on the pda, it tells me it was connected.

I have tried:

Uninstalling AS and re-installing it with and without re-booting my desktop in between

soft and hardresettin the pda several times

turning the windows firewall on and off and deactivating antivir

upgrading to AS 4.2

Downgrading back to 4.1

I cannot even delete partnerships. I dont even get that far.

It almost looks like AS is not properly installed on the pda... not knowing how I should change this since I cant install anything without a connection...

Subject says it all. Is this possible with the evo 4g lte? I want to use it as a GPS in my car and just have it power on with the car. I've done a lot of searching and it looks like some samsungs can do this but the functionality is in the boot loader or hardware? So my question is can the evo do this out of the box? if no, can it do it with TWRP or CWM? and/or does cyanogenmod add this functionality? thanks a lot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
Now, when you say "power on," are referring to the screen that is off while the phone is sleeping, or do you mean completely off?

AOSP roms do have the option to turn on the fly screen when you plug it in. Also, as of the new firmware release from HTC that came with Sense 5.0, or phones now turn the screen on when you plug in the charger (at least mine does...I never asked around to confirm this). But in both conditions, the device is powered on, but sleeping.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Zeropoint:
no I'm talking fully powered off. I guess I assumed a screen off sleep wouldn't last for like 3-4 days. Do you think that is possible? airplane mode enabled except wifi(no cell/BT) and screen off sleep. will that last 3 days? so that would be 3 days till power is resumed to charge it to full?
