[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxstudio:
Hi all,

This is my first android phone, an HTC One M7_UL, and if I found it to be a wonderful piece of hardware, I am very disapointed by all the bloated apps that comme with it. I preicse I am an old GNU/Linux user, currently on gentoo from several years.

For now, I have a few issues I want to solve:

1) I can copy music files from my PC to the phone and listen to them. I found how to make playlists into the phone. Is it another way to add pictures to the playlists, albums and artists than the original apps?

2) The radio work well, when using another earphone than the original one. How can I make a manual search and have it memorized? Do I nedd another app or to root the device for that to be possible?

,

3) I hate the impossibility to customize the first screen. I found a way to disable that news stuff, but I really want to get ride of it. I guess the only way to do it is to root the device. Am I right, and if yes can I use any ROM for that?

EDIT: I see the last Sense update made it possible. Nice.

4) If I root my device, what is most important to me is to remove the bloated apps, get a file hierarchy that is more friendly to browse (as example I hate to get playlist files with a size of 0), I like the camera, it is truly amazing, especialy with fast moving targets, and I want to keep that capability. I also want playlist which are easier to customize, and a FM radio where I can put permanent favorites whih will not be erased by an automatic search.

Based on that, can you recommande me some ROMs? Or is it possible to do the same without to root the phone (I doubt, but as it's my first android phone, I want to be 100% sure).

I like Sense, but that's just a GUI and not so important to me. Generally, I preffer featues and flexibility over the look and the bloat.

Thanks for any suggestion.

CWM Recovery Non Touch version

I don't have stock rom.

I have dumped stock

bootimg

which is 3.6 GB in size. It also contain the whole image of 4 GB partition of Symphony W85. So if you use dd command then it will copy the whole image to your phone. I have tried it on my phone and it worked.

Why are your looking for stock rom?

Symphony W85 CWM has already out on net [search google for "Mobile Solutions: Symphony W85 CWM Recovery" As I am new, I can not insert link here until i post 10 message.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adamwsh:
I have a stock, unrooted Galaxy Nexus GSM purchased new from Google currently running 4.3.

I have a FitBit Flex which will only sync with phones that have Bluetooth Low Energy support.

I can not find any information on any of the KitKat ROMs out there for Galaxy Nexus to see if I install it, will Bluetooth LE work?

If it does then work, my next concern would be if the FitBit app would recognize that the Bluetooth LE works and it would then be able to sync, or if it simply would still see it as a Galaxy Nexus which they do not list as a supported device: http://www.fitbit.com/devices

If anyone can offer me some advice here, I'd greatly apprecaite it!

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paarthdesai:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adamwsh:
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

I used The Nexus Root Toolkit (by WugFresh) to Unolock and Root my GNex. Then I used the link you gave me to get the BTLE files and the FitBit apk. I installed everything and it freakin' works!!! I'm so happy!

I'm so annoyed at Google for letting support of this device go after only 18 months. I bought it because they praised it as being thee flagship, unaltered, always up-to-date phone to have. I figured I'd be on the latest version of Android with this phone for many years. I wanted to keep it stock, but they've forced me to now go rooted. I suppose I could now flash a KK ROM, but I'm not sure what that would benefit me at this point.

Thank you again SO much for your help and fast reply! (Even if I did post this in the wrong place!)

Love XDA!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adamwsh:
Ok, so I have to update what happened. Everything seemed to be working fine until I got into my car. My GPS has a bluetooth connection. It would connected, but then almost immediately the Bluetooth service would crash on my phone. Happened over and over again. Even after a reboot. Then when I got home, I tried it with my bluetooth speaker. Same exact thing. I figure the bluetooth binaries that I installed screwed up my connections that used to work. I even tried re-pairing them. Didn't help.

I gave up and decided to wipe everything and flash KK. I used CM11 nightly. Now everything, so far, is working as expected. GPS, speaker & fitbit. CM KK takes some getting used to over stock JB. I don't know what changes are KK and which are CM.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St0fF:
Since 20140415 nightly update (installed via CMupdater) I'm experiencing the Phone Problem. The translated German text would be

"there was a problem with your phone's modem, the device needs to be rebooted..."

I've had those before, but to a small extend. Now it's more like: it takes around 30 Minutes from reboot until the "Problem" reappears.

I'm sorry, I cannot post to the dev-thread, yet. If any logs are needed, I'd update back to 20140415 or 20140416 (where this also happened) and try to grab'em.

EDIT: it might be important information: I've come from the "full" nightly "11-20140407-NIGHTLY_mb526", then used cmUpdater on the 14th, the 15th and the 16th April (so: the last three days), at least that are the files present in my /sdcard/cmupdater folder. The problem has appeared yesterday.

Question: if I do incrementals, will I have to update every day?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St0fF:
oops - it seems not to be the ROM I guess

As I didn't have those problems with 20140407, I downgraded to that version. Seems it didn't have an effect - just about half an hour after downgrade, I had the "Problem", again.

I'll reboot once and if the "Problem" reappears at the same rate, I'll do a full-wipe reinstall.

That's the infamous RIL bug. Try disabling and re-enabling location. Doesn't make much sense, but fixed it for me.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St0fF:
That's what fixed it for me: I reflashed to factory, then installed cm10/cm11 freshly.

Thanks for that information - I'll try to remember next time I get banged by this.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St0fF:
Another search result

Hi@all,

i just thought about perhaps creating another thread that may be made sticky, collecting all possible reasons, explanations and most likely workarounds for the RIL Bug - and I found this answer:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50830467&postcount=5

It says undervolting might be a factor. My Defy is undervolted. So I'll try to figure out some less extreme settings, as RIL just reappeared on my phone.

P.S.: I couldn't find that post originally, as at that time I wasn't aware of the bug's name - searching for "RIL bug" in fact returns a lot of results.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idealas:
that's the only thing which helped me too. many rom's worked okay for me and had no RIL reboots ever, but when i've tried to use them again instead of newer ones i tried - i got constant reboots. reflashed to factory and no more ril's again.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] marvin_rock:
I just recently got a PhoneJoy Play controller, and I know that it works as it connects to my roommates phones/tablets (Motorola Droid 4{running Eclipse ROM}, Nexus 5 & Nexus 7 {both stock}), but it refuses to connect to my Droid Razr MAXX (XT912).

I can see the device, I can pair with it, but when I click to connect, nothing changes and it doesn't connect. Other bluetooth headsets work just fine, I don't have any other bluetooth input devices to test on this phone, but is this something I can fix?

Here are the ROM's I've all had the same issue with -

AOKP

PACman ROM

Eclipse (current, which I really quite like!)

I'm starting to hear about issues with it being a Bluetooth HID device, but I'm confused if the droid 4 with the Eclipse ROM can run it perfectly, why can't the droid RAZR run it?

The only strange variable I have is that I'm using ROM slot 2, not sure if that matter at all, any help would be much appreciated!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marvin_rock:
An Update

Okay, so I've had a few hours to play with the phone, and here are my updates, but I'm still stumped.

Okay, so here's the short and skinny.

Bought a PhoneJoy Play on Kickstarter, it just got here, works on my Droid 4 running an Eclipse ROM, works on a stock Nexus 5 and stock Nexus 7 with no issues, pairs, connects, plays.

My Droid RAZR (my personal phone, the others listed belonged to roommates), it will pair, but not connect on any ROM I throw at it. Here's what I've tried so far.

Cyanogenmod KitKat variant

Cyanogenmod JB Variant

SlimKat

AOKP

PACman ROM

Eclipse

Aviator Blur

They all experience the exact same issue. Sees the controller, pairs, won't connect. Just doesn't connect. Drives me bonkers.

I load up the stock ROM via safestrap, works right away and breaks my heart because I can't STAND the stock Ice Cream Sandwich ROM, it's old, bloated with Verizon BS, half my other apps don't work, etc etc.

Why doesn't this thing work on a Custom ROM and how can I get it to work!? Note, bluetooth headsets work fine, just appears to be an issue with the HID support.

I think he just means to ask why MX doesn't support m3u8 playlists. Simple answer is because the developer hasn't added such a feature yet.

It is exactly as CDB-Man said.

Actually MX Player can play m3u8 but solely depends on FFmpeg's implementation.

Hello,

this morning I woke up to a dead Note 2, the booting screen changes from the Galaxy note 2 text to random colored dots and then a full white noise screen - exactly like this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2399712

So I tried flashing a stock rom and it said it didn't have PIT files. I read up on that a little and found my T889v PIT file (which dates back to 2012) and downloaded it. If I try flashing via Odin with both the rom and the pit file it just won't return anything and get stuck before even doing anything, if I try flashing the PIT file alone its stuck at Get PIT for mapping.

The phone was working fine before last night, I haven't changed anything since I was on 4.4 custom rom (omnirom), except install a Chromecast yesterday. That's the only thing that changed, I installed Chromecast and Plex, and I can't fathom how that might have changed anything to render my phone to a brick.

Help ?

I even tried Skipsoft unified toolkit to no avail.

Try Kies emergency restore function. Might work...

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] snwww:
It can't connect to the phone once its done downloading the rom. It recognizes the phone in the first step where it asks you to plug it in, but then it gives me an error before it even starts doing anything to it. Odin sometimes won't even connect to the phone if its been pluggedin for a long amount of time, so I figured it was probably the same with Kies not being able to connect to the phone after downloading the huge file, so I tried to trick it. The second time around it started downloading (god are they idiots, what a waste of bandwidth, it just downloaded it and gave me an error, now it has to re-dl it all? what the hell? can't they archive their downloads? wow) I unplugged the cable and rebooted the phone into download mode just before it hit 100%, Odin would have been able to connect at that point for sure, but Kies still gave me an error saying it couldn't recognize the phone.

Thank you very much for your response, I totally forgot to try Kies first, I'll have to investigate further on errors on why I can't connect to it.
