[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WorldOfJohnboy:
ViperOne uses Aroma installer when you first install the "base" ROM... there are options along the way before the ROM flashes where you can selectively choose not to install certain Apps that are considered bloat (though I don't recall if the apps you don't want are listed). Worst case, you can use a file explorer (as others have posted), or even an App like Titanium Backup would allow you to Freeze/Uninstall anything you don't want. Sometimes, people have created simple scripts that send ADB commands to delete bloat... not sure if anyone has for the M8 though.

As far as "OTA," if you don't have stock recovery, you could try to install the VZW OTA updates, but it won't take as it only will flash using stock recovery (if my memory serves me well). Team Venom is one of the few ROM development teams that have their own OTA updates, but it has nothing to do with Verizon's OTA updates. With the M7 Verizon, I had to flash my OTA files via Recovery as I don't think Team Venom was able to get the Settings>About>Software Update to work. I was told that the OTA works on the M8 with Verizon phones, though I haven't tried it yet.

If Verizon releases an OTA that updates Radios or Firmware, it's best to wait for someone to release a flashable version for those that are S-off/rooted. I don't believe that any of the major carriers have released an OTA update with the phone being so new anyway.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Hyperboost:
Thanks for the reply! This phone is great, upgraded from my HOX international version with Team Venom Rom. So it's my first time dealing with a carrier based phone. I wish I knew how to remove the Verizon SIM check thing for the Viper One Rom. " The SIM Card is from an Unkown Source".

In the last weeks I have to recalibrate the screen nearly every hour. When using the virtual keypad, the position of the characters is always moved to the right (means i have to tap on screen about 3 millimeters more right than the character really is, to type it. After recalibrating the screen, it works a few minutes then i have to recalibrate again. This happens since a few weeks. Anything i can do ?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] mcruiser:
No solution has been found yet, but instead of re-calibrating every time, a few hard presses on the screen with your finger will do the alignment.

Hi,

I've the same issues in one of my s100 and it was getting quite annoying,

i discover that the problem, at least my problem, was that the actual touchscreen was moving, whenever i lost the calibrartion, instead of

just recalibrate, i give it a small hit in left to rigth, and then it used to work for a while, so that why i knew it was a hardware issue.

After living with this "hightech" workaround 8) , i get bored and decided to open the pda and fixed it.

I applied a small layer of super-glu around the borders of the touchscreen

so it woulnd not move at all (not that i can see it moving, but that was the only possible reason for the de-calibrartion)

After applied it and leave it dry, i put the screen back in to the frame and put a little pieces of cut paper, so it would be less space, close the pda, and

it works, i've been using the pda for more than 3 weeks with no need of recalibration at all.

I know the procedure of disassemble is a little complicate, but there are some threads in the upgrade forums that shows how to do it, but believe is worth to try.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] xentric:
I had the same problem for months... very annoying!

I called T-Mobile (NL) support and they sent me a form and a padded envelope. On the form I wrote that I have found more people with this problem on the internet and this should be considered as a production flaw.

So I sent my MDA-compact back to T-Mobile and within 2 weeks I received a brand spanking new unit :)

Cheers to T-Mobile for their excellent support!

[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] lmarcinczak:
Hi,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 ZOOM (SM-C105).

I use it at work to record videos (1280x720), send to the company after previous encoding to a lower bitrate. (to reduce file size) - which unfortunately takes a long time.

I would like to change the settings to immediately record a lower bitrate.

The phone is rooted and I tried to edit the file "media_profiles.xml" but it does not change anything. Even threw him out of the catalog and still camera records the old way.

Edited the file on the phone and copied another. I have a feeling that my phone does not use that file.

Did I do something wrong? Can I do it differently? Where do I change the settings to reduce the bitrate?

I tried to use other camera.app but they are not suited for this camera (optical zoom etc.)

I will be grateful for your help.

Regards

what are the threads on XDA i should follow? any suggestions on roms/kernels/rooting etc.?

I've had my G2 for a couple of weeks. It's a great device (but you already know this :D.)

The G2 forums are, as one would expect, quite busy so just do what you did in these forums when you first joined; watch and learn. There's a lot of good info, although, in my opinion, too many (already answered!) questions from n00bs who are too lazy to read and search for themselves.

If you find it to a be a case of 'information overload', just type your question with the keywords 'XDA' and 'G2' into our good friend Google and it should find exactly what you're looking for.

I've found Temasek's (unofficial) CM11 for G2 (in the 'Original Android Development' forum) to be an excellent ROM but there's so much new stuff nearly every day, the first thing you should do is root and install a custom recovery, then go ahead and flash away!

Remember: Google.
[LG Optimus 2x] 60nine:
i'm about to get it (it's ordered), i don't have it already :)

oh, so Temasek owns G2? great :) i was a huge fan of his cm7 roms for p990...

No. The ROM is built and maintained by someone else. I'm running CloudyStock 1.3 right now. LG did a good job with the G2.

btw does cyanogenmod installer work on G2?
[LG Optimus 2x] MclarenP1:
I don't think so. They have root and recovery for every version of android including 4.4 KK. So installing anything shouldn't be an issue. And also, Moderator SREEPRAJAY owns the phone. You can ask him for more info.

For any left 2X owners, if you want the smoothest possible and most trouble free stock experience, try Djangomanouche 1.6.5 ROM. For me it was the most stable and always returned to it after experimentations.

BTW why a 2X? Given the improvement of the apps, it can run almost one at a time nowadays with only ~350MB of useful amount of RAM.

BTW2 very very tough phone, it survived a road accident which bent it in half. It was alive again with just a screen and a digitizer (70E cost).

Hello ,

I'm just about to buy Anker 2nd generation Astro2 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DMWV3EU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A294P4X9EWVXLJ

my question is : is there something else I should consider buying instead?

I will mainly use it for a tablet charging (the tablet has 8000 mah battery)

it must be from amazon and sold (or fulfilled ) by amazon because I need to ship it to an Amazon locker in NYC.

Thank you very much for you advises,
[General Accessories] vectron:
Your other choices are Lepow U-Stone 12000 mAh (they just dropped the price significantly down to $39.99) or NewTrent iCarrier 12000 mAh (price is down to $37.95) or RAVPower Knighrider 14000 mAh ($39.99). All are reputable companies with a good quality control and a decent warranty. RAVPower design is an older one, more generic. ICarrier has been around for awhile as well. U-Stone stands out, but I'm not sure how big it is. All 3 seems to be fulfilled by Amazon, so hopefully they will deliver to NYC locker.
[General Accessories] rotman253:
I must say thank you for the detailed answer , unfortunately saw it too late (stupid gmail folders) so I've already ordered and I can't change it now since I can't lose time (my friend's wife is only going to be in NYC for 1 week and I don't want to take the risk in delays)

anyway , that Lepow looks good!

hi there ,

eventually I ended up buying the anker 2nd Gen Astro2 9000mAh.

I'm going to return it and buy other.

is your answer still valid for these days or is there something new I should consider?

also , isn't 12000-14000mah is too much for my needs? I also do care ( a little) about weight...

[MX Player] Kantana:
Hi Support,

I posted this originally on the old MX Player forum, moving it here for visibility, I am using the international LTE model with snapdragon 801 cpu. There was also confirmation of the same issue with the Verizon model of the S5 in the original thread.

Hi Support, just bought the S5 today and loaded mxplayer when I noticed frequent app stopped responding and lock ups. I eventually tracked it down to the hw+ acceleration being broken on this device. HW & SW acceleration work fine but if you toggle hw+ acceleration and attenpt to play a video it will stop respondinhg and hang the app.

To confirm I also saw this happening on all the other video apps like vlc, bsplayer and moboplayer so looks like Samsung have changed something ontheir build since the S4 works fine also on Kit Kat 4.2.2 version.

To replicate this try and play any video container eg mkv or avi with hw+ enabled and the app will stop responding and lock up. Devs pls try and fix this as I need hw+ for video to remain in sync with non standard frame rates eg 23.810
[MX Player] Kantana:
Samsung Galaxy S5 broken hw+

Moving this into a new thread as requested.

This issue does not occur for the HTC M8 which uses the same cpu and Kit Kat 4.4.2, snapdragon 801 2.5GHz and only on the Samsung Galaxy S5 international and Verizon model. Hence I believe hw+ should work on the S5 as well.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
For Implementation of HW+ it requires source code of modified Android media framework (by the manufacturer).

It will be limited without media framework source code.
[MX Player] Kantana:
Thanks, looks like we'll need Samsung to assist with Mx Player, first time I've ever been stuck since the galaxy S1 :(
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
I too have faced similar kind of issue in past with my S duos. With Android 2.3.6 I was able to play 1080p smoothly only in HW+. But, after upgrading to Android 4.1, It has completely broken HW+. I was only able to play only upto 720p since HW+ is broken.

So, wait for the Samsung to release the framework sources. Once it is released then we can implement hardware acceleration.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
First of all this is a welcome thread...!!

Please Create the new thread to each problem to keep this thread clean.

So that we can pay attention to the problem & will be easier to identify & moderate the issues.

HW+ is not supported by all processors. That's why it's disabled by default. If you are facing the problem with HW+ then don't use.

[MX Player] fffft:
Thank you for pursuing a fix for the S5 handset. Will there be an app update as well.. or a way to apply a manual Samsung firmware update? Those running custom S5 ROMs - which looking at the XDA threads are many thousands of users will not receive automatic firmware updates.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
There is no need to update the player.

S5 model various by region.

Firmware varies by region & Model.

Flashing the wrong firmware may brick your device. So, better to stay with the official update.
[MX Player] fffft:
Well that was my point. There is a need to update MX Player if you want the S5 to be able to use hw+ without constantly crashing. And the thousands of XDA members using custom ROMs will not be able to get an (automatic) firmware update.

Unless they eschew using a custom ROM of course. The most reasonable solution to this impasse would be a manual firmware update or app update - and I was asking if either of those were on the horizon.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
until or unless rom maker compile the rom using the updated sources it will not work.
[MX Player] ravenofdoom:
What is the firmware update that's required to be pushed by the carriers to fix Samsung Sources? I'm curious because I've been using DicePlayer recently which works in HW mode (e.g. same sources as native video player). Feel free to elaborate on the technical elements.

I'm keeping hope alive for a root to the GS5 and so I'm reluctant to push updates to my phone (closing security holes), but that presents a problem if the only way to correct the crashes in MX Player HW+ is to take a forthcoming update for a video sources patch.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Yes, There is an update required from carrier/Samsung.

Like others MX Player is also working well in HW mode. Don't confuse it with hw+.
[MX Player] taislice:
Just chiming in to report that there are no updates for the AT&T version, I was hoping the firmware update from early June (G900AUCU2AND3) would include a fix, but using H/W+ still crashes the app.
