[Nexus 4 Accessories] Philippe Lemay:
I've seen a lot of people say that the best Qi charger to get right now is the ones that's "CHOE upgraded" but I haven't been able to find out exactly what that means. What's different between the CHOE ones and the earlier Qi chargers? I heard some people say it has something to do with the manufacturer being better, is it just built more solidly?

I'm thinking of getting a wireless charger and start using that, but I'm worried about charging efficiency (or lack-there-of) or excess heat harming my battery. So I'm wondering if the CHOE chargers are noted for being more efficient than the average. Saving damage on my micro USB from constantly plugging it in won't do me much good if a year down the line I've ruined the battery.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mirkoziocan:
CHOE is only the brand, I think

There are good and bad qi chargers, look at the amazon reviews for the one that most suits you.

I am buying the Panasonic QE-TM101, moving coil feature is too cool

But there are cheaper qi charger that works very well
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Philippe Lemay:
Moving coil? What is that?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] lopezk38:
Most chargers have the induction coil (The thing that sends the power to the phone) in a fixed location, meaning that you have to put the phone in a precise spot for it to charge. The Panasonic charger has a mechanism inside that detects where your phone is on the charging pad and moves the coil to the phone so you don't have to fiddle with moving around the phone to find the sweet spot where the phone charges

Hi,

I've using LG Optimus Black for 2 years and haven't upgrade my device with custom ROM. As you know, Instagram doesn't run on ICS and I'm tired of it. Finally I decide install custom ROM. I rooted my phone with UnlockRoot but I can't install CWM Recovery.

What am I doing wrong and what should I do?

Please help me. :(
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
If you're rooted, can't you just download CWM ROM Manager from the play store? I've always used that for installing 970 ROMs.
[LG Optimus Black] raulx222:
Here

A v20 firmware (stock ROM) with CWM included you can download from here

And the link to Superuser.zip seems to be broken..download this(here is also included a firmware...you can use this firmware or you can download another from link above), here you can find Smartflashtool, Superuser.zip and the USB driver( you need to install this to let smartflashtool(also shorted as SFT) to detect your phone)

A detailed tutorial about how to flash with SFT:

An explanation about this tutorial.. the files from 3 and 4 (CP and AP) are the firmware files (this is what you had downloaded)

PS: Ask me if you don't understand something.. it really worth to use a custom ROM..but just be careful to not brick your phone ;)

LINKS:

Firmware

Superuser.zip

[LG Optimus Black] IcinizdekiIrlandali:
I've tried but that can't help me.

[MENTION=4964524]raulx222[/MENTION]

I've done every step. I flashed 20D ROM and my phone was reboot. In CWM screen, I did factory reset and select "choose a .zip from SD card" Superuser.zip. After that I rebooted my phone. But I want to install custom ROM (example: Nameless ROM) now, what will I do? So how can I see CWM screen again?
[LG Optimus Black] raulx222:
Now, you choose a custom ROM..i don't recomand you Nameless ROM because isn't stable yet, but you can try it...i noticed that they are working hard to that ROM:-? it will be great

I recommend you IZS. It is a very stable and fast ROM based on ICS .. look here ..you have somewhere a BIG title called "INSTRUCTIONS" every ROM has flash instructions.. there are same instructions to flash a ROM..but to flash an update to a ROM may be different, so pay attention to update instructions to every ROM

Now to acces the CWM you can download from google store this app

So..basically to flash a ROM you have to:

1) Go in recovery menu (CWM)

2) Do a data,cache and dalvik cache wipe (you will find dalvik cache wipe to tab "advanced")

3) Choose: flash zip from sd card

4) Choose ROM zip and flash it
[LG Optimus Black] IcinizdekiIrlandali:
I don't want to use ICS anymore because of Instagram. Btw, when I install Nameless ROM, it says "Installation aborted"
[LG Optimus Black] raulx222:
Tell me exactly what you did
[LG Optimus Black] IcinizdekiIrlandali:
I couldn't go to CWM screen so I've done every step again. But this time, I didn't choose "superuser.zip". I chose zip which is Nameless ROM. But it says "Installation aborted"
[LG Optimus Black] raulx222:
You had used the right namelessROM file? http://sourceforge.net/projects/nam...less-4.4.2-20140412-p970-NIGHTLY.zip/download

That supposed to work..try again like this:

-Download this and put it on your sd card http://goo.gl/rurEY ...these are GAPPS..in other words this is google store app..not all ROMs have GAPPS included, some time you have to flash it by your own

-go in CWM

-be sure that you do a data wipe ,cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe..

-install ROM with flash zip from sd card

-install GAPPS with flash zip from sd card

-reboot
[LG Optimus Black] IcinizdekiIrlandali:
Done! :laugh:

I think I've download wrong file. Thank you very much! :good: Have you any suggestion me for ROM? Except for ICS and Nameless.
[LG Optimus Black] raulx222:
Uhm..you can try cyanogenmod it is very "default" but many ROMs are based on cyanogenmod

Zeus is nice:-?..in my opinon I think Zeuz is the best ROM based on android 2.3
[LG Optimus Black] IcinizdekiIrlandali:
Instagram doesn't work on Nameless ROM, too. :(
[LG Optimus Black] raulx222:
Probably doesn't support OB

Look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2256363 you may find something useful

Edit: I had modified the link from the first post..i had replaced the Superuser.zip with another one
[LG Optimus Black] IcinizdekiIrlandali:
Yeah, I know it. I thought Instagram may be improved and updated it. But this hasn't fixed yet. So I installed Instagram 3.4.0 but it says "Your version of Instagram out of date". Then I updated and install again 3.4.0 when I'm login, but I seem log out. :(

Galaxy S5 Tips and Tricks Thread!

So there seems to be one of these thread for every device on XDA so why not start one for the new Galaxy S5!

Here is a few things to start off,
​

Missing the menu button? If you long press the new recent apps button it opens the menu!

To access developer options, navigate to settings/about phone and tap the build number 5 times!

Once in developer options, Samsung has left in the ability to switch to the new ART runtime which may give you a performance boost!

Most people should know this by now, but to access the kitkat easter egg, go to settings/about phone and tap the Android version 5 times.

cTo access recovery/download options, its the same as its been since the S2, hold down either volume down for download mode or volume up for recovery and hold the home button while pressing the power button.

There are many flagship apps that Samsung (for some reason) has decided not to ship with. Make sure to go to the Samsung store to install them. The S5 does support S Note, S Translator, WatchOn and many more!

Also, check out the Galaxy Deals section for specials on premium services such as Evernote Premium.

You can change the layout of the settings between grid, list or tab view but tapping the menu on the top right.

If anyone has any more feel free to post them!

Get rid of USB port cover!

I just discovered that the annoying USB port cover can be safely removed (and replaced) without damaging it. All you need is a tiny phillips head screwdriver. Remove the battery cover and look down at the bottom of the phone, and you will see a single screw is all that's holding a tiny hatch shut over the housing for the port cover's "anchor". Remove the screw carefully and you can pop open the hatch and remove the pesky USB port cover for good!. Now you just need to find a place to keep it where you won't lose it... :D

This will remove the waterproofing and dustproofing though. Just as a warning to anyone who does it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fzammetti:
I did, and for me it was a bit unstable. I had a couple of freezes and reboots. Though, I'll note that none of the apps I tried had any issue with it... I run ART on my Nexus 7 and I know that every app save one or two games that I threw at it worked just fine. As for performance/battery, I'm not sure I've seen much of a difference frankly, at least nothing Earth-shattering. I'm back on Dalvik on my S5 now and it's right as rain again, so at least for me, ART's a no-go.

Maneuvering your finger across the screen in one direction or another makes the "K" spin around in a circle.. Squiggling your finger fast like your playing Fruit Ninja fades the screen from black to red with the Android "KitKat" logo and "ANDROID 4.4.2" on the screen. This has gone back as far as ICS on many devices, including CyanogenMod ROM's; except CM includes the Windows Mobile looking screen with many android logos as far back as Cupcake through JB in small to large tiles. tapping a tile makes it fade away, with neighboring tiles, as new ones are drawn on the screen. KK got a little generic with it's easter egg.

#1. Open settings

#2. Click on "Lock Screen" to open.

#3. Click on "Pattern Type"

#4. Select which option you would like.

Classic, Halftone, Multicolor

, respectively.

:) HOPE THAT HELPS :)

Question: Is there a root method for NC5? or a stock rooted one?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rwilco12:
We won't be doing a rooted one-click due to issues with Knox. You should be able to root it with any of the existing methods for previous builds.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Buslova:
so could this be used to upgrade to NC5 from MJ4? Thanx for all the work and info!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rwilco12:
Yep. Odin is essentially a drive imaging utility. It takes a pre-built image of a partition and then wipes the existing partition's data and replaces it with the new image. So in theory as long as you have the right partitions setup you could use this to put any device on NC5 (mind you there are no other devices that I know of that share the exact same partition structure with the Sprint N3).

Anyone have an idea of the easiest way to go from Stock Rooted MJ4 (Knox 0X1) to NC5. I have no problem flashing a custom recovery and Knox is already tripped.

I was thinking of using this full restore to NC5 and then rooting through a more conventional method. Odin a custom recovery, then flash SuperSU through recovery. I think SuperSU will disable Knox.

The other option I was considering was using the instructions in optimummind's thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2658315. The only benefit to that is I would not lose my data, but it seems like a lot more work.

If you are now all NC5, then enjoy the fact that you didn't lose anything. Root gets nuked due to it but being included.

Now you can remain stock, flash recovery and a pre-rooted rom, or just recovery and the latest root.
