[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2Pints:
Ive got an old motorola defy that ive been trying to install kit kat on without success ( it dies on the install update recovery and just displays the red M logo on re boot)

The intention is to just use it as a controler for a chromecast, with BBC Iplayer, , youtube netflix etc, ive tried CM10 but the iplayer app/bbc media player doesnt work ( keeps crashing/wont load video)

any advice on the best way to achieve this/ the best/most basic rom to use ie turn it on and just use - no passwords, pins or boot options that you have to select at start up?
[General Questions and Answers] sundanzzz:
When I do a long press to move or delete an app/icon on the home screen, nothing happens - no wobble or options - nothing. They did flash momentarily when I first got the phone. I am also unable to move apps or widgets from the app menu. However, touch seems to work just fine for everything else. I have done a full device reset, a general reset, and have tried different launchers. Any suggestions? This is android 4.2.2 and the phone is rooted. Probably hardware but am hoping. Has anyone run across this?
[Zooper Widget General] hasselaar_nl:
When I scale up or down an image (or complete widget) in the Zooper settings I get strange sizes... At 100% the image looks perfect, but scaling down to by example 95% or 85% gives a (much) larger image then the 100%. The image is also a bit pixelated/blurred.

When i scale down further to 50% the image becomes sharp again and is indeed 50% of the size (when it is 100%). So all percentages between 50 and 100 gives strange results?!

Anyone familior with this or more important familiar with a solution?
[Zooper Widget General] scottx .:
Save the template and reopen it.
[Zooper Widget General] hasselaar_nl:
Images of scaling

Hey Matthew, you again? :) What do you exactly mean by saving and reopening?

Check the images below. The first one shows the 100% image, and the second one shows the large 95% image?!

I noticed that this only happens on my Asus TF 101 Tablet with Android 4.0.3. Not on my Sony Xperia Z phone.

Not sure what happened but the option for this seemed to have vanished. I changed the duration to 6 seconds but wanted to turn it off since I'm using gravitybox and the navbar.

The option is supposed to be under display, I even can search for it using the menu search option, and it shows there, but when I click to go to the search results nothing shows up

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mcwups1:
Please excuse my ignorance, but what is that section all about?

I see Venom Rom and custom kernels. I see different sections for different carriers already, so what is that one for?

Is that section for ALL carriers?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] markb629:
Pretty much what it says. It's a general forum, mostly for the international version and there's some scattered in there for U.S. carriers but pretty much just gsm variants. There are some mods said to work on all variants. Some are clearly broken down and labeled in the OP, but some you gotta search and read every post to see if anyone asked if it'll work on Sprint (or other) and see if there's an answer. I keep going thru it myself getting itchy to flash something. I came from the evo LTE and got into this whole root thing 8 months after that phones release so there was already plenty of development going on. This is my fist phone seeing it from the beginning, and with a model on every carrier. The evo was specific to Sprint so all development was just for that phone, made it much simpler lol.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] galaxyYtester:
They had wifi, bluetooth and soon camera working on Cyanogenmod 9 because the Broadcom drivers were released, why can't there be Cyanogenmod 11? Even the Galaxy Mini had it so it wouldn't be a hardware problem.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
1 - because there are no drivers - the drivers that were released were for ics and still very buggy and needed alot of fixes

2 - would need a brand new kernel not currently possible

3 - qualcomm released all their sources for mini

4 - questions ironically go in question and answer section NOT general section

5 - this has been covered so many times and is now boring

6 - use the search next time
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] NightRaven49:
...

Galaxy Mini and Galaxy Mini Plus have different hardware. Galaxy Mini uses Qualcomm chipsets whereas Galaxy Mini Plus have the Broadcom BCM21553 chipset, which is the same as the Galaxy Y chipset. You clearly mixed the two up.

Also, the reason why we only have a buggy CM9 is because we do not have the necessary libraries (drivers, in a sense) to build CM9. The libraries Broadcom provided us at the end of February needs to be developed upon for it to be usable for CM9. These libraries, however, are only compatible with up to 4.0.4 which is CM9.1. These libraries cannot be used for JellyBean (CM10) or KitKat (CM11).

Please read the current state of things carefully before posting. We already have a lot of threads asking the same thing.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] galaxyYtester:
Ok thanks, I'm not so much into coding but thanks for answering! :p
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] galaxyYtester:
Why can't they release all the drivers? What are they losing when doing it, it only helps people?

Cause broadcomm as known as un-Open Source
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] NightRaven49:
They have their own reasons. Though some workers of Broadcom have assisted us in a few ways (I heard).

And don't bother with petitions either. There was one or two and only the first one actually succeeded in getting 10000 sigs but it was ignored by Broadcom so...

Bit of trouble here...phone is stuck at HTC white screen...Power and Vol + just reboots to same...Power Vol - does nothing.

Not sure why this won't manually boot into bootloader :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] murryrulz:
What were you doing before this happened? Have you flashed anything recently?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bakemcbride21:
Oh it's self inflicted...lol..for some reason it finally went into recovery (CWM)....so I can do something...question is what.

was trying out the kernels here and it made my phone unbearably slow..

So I wiped everything....data, cache..system then tried to do a factory reset...and then this...

At this point I think I need to sideload a ROM?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] murryrulz:
Hopefully you made a backup and you can restore that. If not you need to flash a Rom. The only one compatible with or Verizon m8 is skyfall. The issue here is you wiped the system without flashing another system so now the phone has nothing to boot to.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bakemcbride21:
yeah...I reaized that in my haste lol :(

I don't get why this phone doesn't manually boot into fastboot easily...that's the real issue here...other than my stupidity
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bakemcbride21:
Hopefully Skyfall is a good ROM :)

Hopefully we get a RUU at some point...go back to stock..do a nandroid like a smart person...then tinker away from there.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bakemcbride21:
UGh STILL NEED HELP!!

on the adb sideload of the skyfall ROM I get a failed to write data protocol fault <no status> message

Maybe try an adb push of the zip to the internal SD card?

whats the command for that... adb push skyfallrom.zip /sdcard/0 ?

EDIT..Back up and running....had to adb push skyfall to my internal SD with the above command... PHEW!!!!!

Dear Devs,

Today I searched some stock samsung apps like multiwindow, launcher on google

I found some Devs Ported Note 3 Rom in to the Micromax Canvas HD A116 Device and completely look like N3

My Question is When i was buying Grand Duos the price was Rs.21500, and Canvas HD Just 10500 the point is why Grand Duos is not getting the other flagship device rom ported like the micromax A116,

Grand Duos Got Some brilliant Brave Devs in this forum, its not very compel to port its my humble request to give some try.

pls dont take serious just sharing my thought if its not possible pls clarify the difference

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] ##W4TCH0UT##:
See. There are many phones out there with mtk chipset, but phones with Broadcom chipset are less in number. Mtk chipset always have ported versions of the latest android version. We have source built versions which is good. We can't port roms from other devices because of less phones of Broadcom chipset. Also our devs are too busy to look into this project. So I think your request will be turned down.

Hello everybody!

So. I wanted to try a new ROM on my Huawei D1 Quad XL, but something went wrong. I tried flashing Unofficial Miui V5 (http://en.miui.com/thread-2651-1-1.html) and when i booted up, it just stops and never boots.

So, I thought, no worries, I will just restore to the stock backup i made before flashing, but this doesn't boot either. Like Miui it just stops at the bootscreen.

I use a Chinese recovery image from this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2037582, as it was the only one I could find for this device. (Full translation here http://huaweiascendg615.wordpress.com/2013/05/21/geno-recovery-menu-for-non-chinese/).

Its made by Genokolar.

I've tried wiping cache, dalvik and data on both ROMs, but they still don't boot.

I've tried connecting the SD-card to the computer, so i can try flashing another ROM, but for some reason, the computer can't find the SD-card.

The only thing I can think of, is getting a Micro-SD adapter, so i can tranfer another rom or the stock ROM and try and flash that, but I don't ave much hope.

Any hep is appreciated!

Adding Image and drawable resources into your Xperia theme.

PART TWO : ADDING DRAWABLE PNGS AND JPEGS TO YOUR XPERIA THEME.

THIS PART OF MY GUIDE WILL HELP YOU IN ADDING IMAGES TO YOUR THEME TO CHANGE THE LOOK TO THE GREATEST POSSIBLE WAY.

BEFORE I START, I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW ONE SIMPLE THING. IN THIS GUIDE HERE I WILL BE SHOWING YOU HOW TO ADD THEMED IMAGES IN FRAMEWORK APK. THE SAME PROCEDURE WORKS FOR XPERIA HOME AND SYSTEM-UI APK. SO PLEASE DO NOT ASK SILLY QUESTIONS AS HOW TO THEME STATUS-BAR ICONS AND ETC. , ETC.

FOLLOW UP FROM HERE AND SOON YOU WILL BE MAKING PROFESSIONAL THEMES ON YOUR OWN.

STEPS :

De-compile "framework-res.apk"

Open up framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi/ [Or whatever dpi your device supports]

NOTE

: HERE I WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO CHANGE :

APPS BACKGROUND

VOLUME BAR SCRUBBER

You can replace any drawable present in this folder. But we are going to change the background images only for this time.

If you go down you will find two pngs named : "semc_bg" & "semc_bg_light". These are the Pngs that we need to replace to replace the App's background.

Now download/create/paint or do whatever you want and get hands on two different pngs, one for Dark Theme [ Like Settings in Android 4.1.x/4.2.x in Sony ] and another for Light Theme [ Like Settings in Android 4.3 in Sony ] and rename them to "semc_bg" & "semc_bg_light" respectively.

Move the two newly renamed pngs to the respective drawable-xxdpi folder of the android folder that you had previously downloaded from the above post : apktool/android/drawable-hdpi/here

NOTE

: YOU NEED TO PLACE ALL YOUR DESIRED IMAGES INTO RESPECTIVE DRAWABLE-FOLDERS.

Now you need to do the same thing to theme Scrubbers.

Once you are ready with all the pngs continue with rest of the guide in post #1.

FAQ'S :

Q. HOW TO THEME SYATEMUI?

ANS. FOLLOW THESE STEPS :

Download and extract "XperiaThemesApktoolbySArnab©®" zip file from the attachments in 1st post [You don't need to do it again if you have already done so while following Post #1.].

Open com.android.systemui folder.

Add your desired resources in res/drawable-yourdevicedpifolder.

If you want to change colour then add values folder inside res folder. Create colors.xml file and add color code.

Recompile and copy paste the newly created .zip file from "XperiaThemesApktoolbySArnab©®/com.android.systemui/dist/here" to the assets folder of your Theme Project.

Q. HOW TO THEME ANY OTHER SYSTEM APP?

ANS. FOLLOW THE ABOVE STEPS WITH FEW CHANGES SUCH AS :

I have added options to theme other system apps in my new attachment named "XperiaThemesApktoolbySArnab©®.zip" in 1st post.

Q. HOW TO ADD SUPPORT FOR DIFFERENT APPS THEMEING?

ANS. YOU CAN THEME ALL THE APPS INSTALLED IN YOUR DEVICE. TO DO THAT YOU NEED TO PERFORM 2 ACTIONS.

1. ADD THIS BLOCK OF CODE TO THE MANIFEST FILE SO THAT THE THEME MANAGER KNOWS WHICH APPS ARE SUPPORTED BY YOUR THEME APP :

<asset path="[COLOR="Red"]com.android.systemui.zip[/COLOR]" target="[COLOR="red"]com.android.systemui[/COLOR]">
<laf-version-filter from="1" to="1" />
</asset>

THE ABOVE CODE ADDS SUPPORT FOR SYSTEMUI THEMEING.

TO SUPPORT OTHER APPS JUST CHANGE THE TEXTS IN RED.

FOR EXAMPLE FOR SETTINGS APP :

<asset path="[COLOR="Red"]com.android.settings.zip[/COLOR]" target="[COLOR="red"]com.android.settings[/COLOR]">
<laf-version-filter from="1" to="1" />
</asset>

FOR THIS YOU NEED TO KNOW THE PACKAGE NAME OF THE APP YOU WANT TO THEME.

2. YOU NEED TO CREATE A APP.PACKGANE.NAME.ZIP FILE WITHH ALL THEME RESOURCES FOR THAT CONCERNED APP AND MOVE THE ZIP FILE TO ASSETS FOLDER OF YOUR PROJECT.

PLEASE NOTE THE NAME OF ZIP FILE MUST BE SAME AS STATED IN MANIFEST.

No special requirements.

If your device supports third party theme downloading then the themes you make will also run easily.

Used theme fixer and now I can install any number of theme without superuser mod.

Edit 3: haha too many edits, and yep a post says root needed so still to no help :-/
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] arnabJ:
Yeah if your device is not able to install 3rd party themes by default then you need to root it and then enable theme installation.

i used you're Pink theme source but when i only edited the colors from Pink to red nothing changed after applying the theme.

ofcourse i used a NON rooted Xperia phone so i couldnt logcat that .
