did anyone tried updated version of camera on cm11 4.4.3 ?
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Steph310:
Google Camera (from Play Store) perfectly works on last official SP 4.4.3 CM11

Only no HDR and camera doesn't start with camera button...
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] le grande magnetto:
Yes, the one from gapps also. Does this one have more options than aosp camera?

Hello everyone,

I am new to this forum. I need some help from you guys. I am doing my research. My area is when we do factory restore on android phone still we can recover all the formatted data.So, I just need a method so that no one can recover the data after format or factory restore.

I'm switching from a SIII to an S5 and I noticed in my S5 that there is no way to sync the Google Bookmarks. When this happened with the 4.2 or 4.3 update on the SIII, I installed the BookMarkSync.apk and it solved the issue. I tried installing the BookMarkSync.apk on the S5 but it didn't work.

Does anyone have a fix for this? Thank you in advance for any help or advice!

What browsers are you using? My bookmarks automatically synced with Chrome. If you use a Samsung account you can sync bookmarks with the stock browser that way.

For the Samsung account -

Move your bookmarks to the default browser on your S3,create a Samsung account on your S3 and sync your bookmarks to the account. Then go the default browser on your S5 -> account -> sync your bookmarks.

Chrome Sync on Samsung s5

Hi there,

I was going through the same issue till I found someone online who had it solved.

In your settings list go to "user and backup" and choose "accounts"

go to your "google" account and choose the user you wish to sync (there are people who have multiple google emails linked to their phones and i'm one of them)

Scroll down in your sync settings after clicking on the account name towards "sync chrome"

Make sure your mark it as on

This should fix the problem as it did on my device.

Do share with us if it worked or not.

Cheers and good luck

How long should I let the battery run down before I charge it again?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Die Bruine:
After I've installed all the apps I want and need, I charge my phone to a 100% then I let it run untill it shutsdown due to lack of power.

After that, I charge whenever I feel like it. Sometimes, if I suspect something is wrong with my battery, I repeat the process. I think that's maybe once in two/three months. Usually a bad flash, or some program with a bad update.

There is no need to drain the battery. If I don't need to I don't charge my battery at night (not with more than 40% and a charger at work).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
In fact, completely killing li-ion batteries will reduce their life.

Killing batteries completely and charging them back up applied to NiCD etc batteries - older batteries... not modern ones.

Don't kill li-ion batteries, it is not good for them!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Die Bruine:
You can't kill them. Not in these phone's. They're always protected, which is also why they shutdown. Your phone will boot at least 10 times after a forcefull shutdown (I tried ;) ). So no need to worry, the battery protection in Motorola's work just fine.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] slimbrady:
After flashing a new ROM you should always recalibrate your battery by using one of many free apps (I use "Battery Calibration") that will wipe the battery stats. If you start to notice big dips in your battery % for no apparent reason or your phone stays on much longer than it should have with only 1% battery then you're probably needing another calibration.

Basically you'll charge your phone to 100% then take it down to 0 then charge back to 100% without interruption.

I have noticed my meter is much more accurate if I do this after each flash (though I'm too lazy to as I am on nightlies so I do it about once a week).
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juste300:
Hi everyone,

I am going to buy Moto G soon and interested in single sim variant XT1032 but unfortunately it is not available in my country, the one available here are only XT1033 dual sim variant. I have not much choice other then to buy dual sim :eek:

So, I just need some info from XT1033 owners before pulling the trigger:

I read some where that some of the Gravity Box and Xposed Framework functions are not 100% functional or compatible with dual sim variant? Is that true?

Can we install a single sim rom on the dual sim version and basically make the dual sim a single sim phone? I will be OK if the 2nd sim do not work with single sim rom since I am not interested in 2nd sim + any single sim custom rom like CM e.g will work with dual sim one?

If the single sim firmware/rom works on dual sim variant? I think Gravity Box and Xposed Framework functions will be 100% compatible and functional with that? Correct me if I am wrong?

Any other thing you guys want to let me know about dual sim related?

That's all the questions I have right now in my mind.

Your feedback will be much appreciated and thanks everyone in advance. :D
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCM4u:
Yes it does work with only one sim active, but there will be a lot of bugs incl. FC for certain apps and system UI. Test these ROMs for yourself.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogeriorp:
Yes for everything you asked, I am currently running a XT1032 firmware on mine and it's perfect.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juste300:
What do you mean by FC for certain apps and system UI? And how i can test the roms my self without having the phone :D
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCM4u:
It does not happen on all ROMs. But a few like Carbon ROM, the System UI Force closes, making it almost impossible to use the phone. I have not experienced any force closes for apps, but few of the members have.

You will have to ask other dual sim users for that. Or just skim through the ROM's forum and see if any user mentions anything about dual sim.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaghiXDA:
Could be, but no worries (see below why).

Yes, yes and yes! I was in the same boat as you, i.e. unavailability of single SIM variant (my case was slightly different though, but not related to your queries). You can turn your phone into XT1032 without any problem. In fact, its basically XT1032 with the options to install 2nd SIM if needed thanks to the possibilities we've. With these things in mind the dual-SIM variant seems more logical choice.

I've used CM11 when I was on XT1033 ROM and it worked like a champ. Haven't tried it since I flashed single SIM ROM though, I'm currently on Google Play Edition ROM and before that I had Retail UK ROM. Might also give a shot to CM11 as well once it reaches in stable phase.

YES. In order to turn your XT1033 into makeshift XT1032 you'll have to unlock your bootloader meaning voiding your warranty; if it's a big deal to you then beware. Also, I'm not too sure whether you need to unlock the bootloader though, but considering the benefits it offers and too many restrictions it has you'll have to unlock it anyway.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minervamc:
Dual sim.Because it is more ;)practice than you carry 2 devices at the same time.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juste300:
Thanks buddy. I have one more question hope you would answer that too.

Today I was using a friend qmobile A900 which has 1GB ram. I tried different launchers on that and we got +100mb ram left around. It was working fine I didn't saw much lag but I noticed slight delays. It was on 4.2.1 OS

So my question is 1GB ram on moto g is enough? It will handle all the launchers and other tasks good enough? Have u ever felt that you need more ram?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaghiXDA:
Absolutely not. I've tons of apps running with Google Now launcher and I still get 350MB+ MB left (even on 4.3 JB), I get the same even while using Nova Launcher.

The thing is, these phones built by reputed manufactures utilize memory very efficiently compared to those built by let's say your local manufacture.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juste300:
kondea chariton

Damn I can see the difference between both phones now. Even that A900 have something 900 or 927mb memory. Nvm I am going for Moto G :cowboy:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pranav Sharma (PS):
a slight confusion

forgive me if I am asking a stupid question but I really need to confirm..

you had an xt1033 and u installed xt1032 firmware on it and it really worked like a single sim..??:confused:

and then did you have any bugs while installing roms made for the single sim version.??

Actually I am also considering moto g as my next choice but only dual sim variant is available here.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
To make things simple:

Flashing the XT1032 (Single SIM) Motorola Stock Firmware on XT1033 should work fine and you will have no bugs.

Flashing a Custom ROM can cause you to experience many bugs.​

I suggest you stay with Stock Firmware for some time to begin with, and then you will have a better perspective on how well the Custom ROMs do or do not work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fzammetti:
So, check this out, it's weird... I've got two S5's, same ROM, with a weird difference. Take a look:

First, note that NFC is on, but there's no icon in the status bar. Second. note the advanced menu option. Now look at this one:

Notice there IS an NFC icon up top but there is NO advanced menu item. Every value on the About screen is identical, so they're definitely on the same version. Neither has had any sort of hacks applied... they ARE both rooted and I actually did the change to make the SD card writable, I guess that counts as a hack, but that's it. All the same apps disabled on both and I haven't been able to even find any settings differences.

I can't explain these differences. Note that NFC works between the two, so clearly it's on even though there's no icon on the first phone. I've tried clearing cache on both, reboots obviously, makes no difference. Flipping NFC on and off also doesn't change anything.

It's really just an annoyance but I HAVE this sort of little thing, it'll bug me until I have an answer. Any ideas? Thanks!

How i can operating the sounds enables me during the holding of the conversation in a phone JAMin ?

[General Topics] levenum:
Did I understand correctly:

You want to change the sound (louder / quieter) while talking on the phone?

That is what the slider on left side of the device is for (between the camera and comm manager buttons).
[General Topics] victoradjei:
Could also be asking for how to enable hands-free during phone conversation :lol:

If that is what you want, just press and hold the green phone button until the sound comes out of the "external" speaker :roll:

thanks for replay levenum & victoradjei.

I want to started a music from my phone during the sound conversation .

[General Topics] levenum:
Oh, you mean like when someone puts you on hold, so the person you're talking to will here the music instead of you?

Unfortunatly that is imposible because of the hardware configuration.

There is an answering machine software now that got around this somehow (fake drivers?) but as far as I know there is no way to just play music.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] arshull:
What are we needing in order to figure out how to unlock or bypass the AT&T Bootloader?

I downloaded the stock files and have the aboot.mbn and the sbl1/sdi.mdn files. I have never worked on bootloader files before, but have some experience modding kernel and ROM level code.

This may be ignorant on my part - but since we have the files, couldn't we open and manipulate the code that is currently restricting 3rd party recoveries, kernels and ROMS?

What is needed? And/or, could we not utilize the modified bootloaders from another device with similar architecture? Perhaps like the Note 3 or even the S4; not to mention the T-Mobile S5? Since the T-Mobile and AT&T versions of all Samsung phones are almost identical, I would assume that would be the easist route - at least to help determine the differences that are restricting our device.....

Let me know if anyone needs these files or has info on what to look for within them.... I'm happy to mod anything on my end.

Thanks !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] TheArtiszan:
Because it is locked we can't just flash over it with another one due to signatures and miss match.

Need to research into the os and associated code to find an exploit that can be used like safestrap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cciechad:
Or if someone that works at AT&T or Samsung would be nice enough to leak a signing key or a signed unlocked bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] yoonus:
Key from Tmobile S5

T-mobile S5 is rooted. Can we find the signing key used for Tmobile phones? Is there is a remote chance keys are same?

Will recoveries on Tmobile and ATT phone be same?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cciechad:
Thats a good question. I wonder if we know how many keys the S5 will accept for signed updates? I.e. Is there a Samsung and a AT&T key for all S5's or is it per model or is it derived somehow from the IEMI.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
Why would the developers even waste their time on the AT&T S5? They know the story behind it. Same ol' thing. I would rather have them actually develop roms on the T-Mobile S5, which we all can use btw, instead of wasting time on trying to unlock the bootloader. If it could be hacked, it would have, LONG AGO!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] enigma99a:
How would the key used for the G900T be helpful? Its not like the key is on some partition somewhere
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PunchLick:
Well to be fair, if you took the best developers and hardware/software hackers in the world and put them in a room with an amazing salary.. it would be hacked..

So lets not say that its impossible. It is just extremely difficult and beyond the scope of the few developers (if any) that are still around trying to crack into it. The problem is that there aren't that many people that just want to sit around trying to figure out a way to make it work, they would rather move to different phones and carriers instead, because its just overall easier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] enigma99a:
Yep, hate to burst anyone's bubble who has a G900A, but it's not going to happen... EVER. Options are to hold out for a developer edition phone from Samsung or get a T-mobile version... which is exactly the same thing minus the restrictions. Or if you are pissed at AT&T, just find another carrier. Maybe if there was enough churn from this, they would stop doing it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nbrent1007:
The s5 will get root same as the s4 did. People just need to be patient. There is definitely a dev that is working to unlock this thing. Everyone said the same thing about the s4 and now look
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] karmuh:
People like you make me laugh. Not even 2 weeks after release and you're already declaring the device will NEVER get root. Lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PunchLick:
Yea I don't think its fair to say it "will never" or "cannot be" done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] karmuh:
Exactly. It can be done and it will be done. Anyone thinking otherwise is pretty naive. But then again, it's expected from those who don't even have the AT&T model, but continue to post in the AT&T section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] enigma99a:
This thread is about the boot loader, not getting root.

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------

No. Again, there is a difference from root and unlocking the bootloader. I was referring to the bootloader as that's what this thread is discussing. I never said it was impossible, it is quite possible just takes a lot of hard work. My prediction is that it will never be fully unlocked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PunchLick:
I don't want to even have to worry about if it will or not, because I don't know who or how many are working on an exploit..

That's why I am switching to the One M8, but either way if/when something does change I may switch back.. I just would rather have fun now! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] enigma99a:
You can always put in a bounty in the Verizon thread. So devs like myself who have experience cracking and exploiting might show some interest:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PunchLick:
Id rather just not worry about it. :cool:

I do love Samsung, but HTC is the ethical choice.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cciechad:
I think the problem is SELinux is an extremely tough nut to crack(and I'm guessing you could easily get a six figure payday for an unknown SELinux/PaX kernel exploit in the black market at this point). Pretty much every linux kernel vulnerability exploit code I've seen fails on all of my boxes with SELinux, PAX and hardened GCC(one of these protection mechanisms always ends up killing the exploit before it can deliver its payload). Do we know exactly what SELinux and PAX(if any) features were enabled in the .config that Samsung used to compile the kernel (and if a hardened toolchain was used for the userland)? At least from what I've seen a properly configured SELinux box with Pax and hardened GCC is one of the toughest boxes to crack. I guess what we can hope for is that someone at Samsung did something stupid otherwise its quite possible we could be waiting for awhile(unless a key or signed unlocked bootloader leaks).

(edit: This applies to getting root through a kernel exploit.(Although with SELinux that isn't enough you need to not only be UID0 root but you also have to switch the role to sysadm_r. The bootloader I'm not 100 percent sure on the secure boot process but my understanding from reading other dev's threads is that this will be even harder than getting a root escalation in the SELinux kernel). Although if we could crack the bl we could just inject root easily.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] RockRatt:
I have the ATT S4 and it came with a locked bootloader as well. Has it EVER been cracked yet? So I have to agree I believe it will NEVER be cracked and a bubble is bursting.

The ATT S4 had great Dev support in the beginning and a bypass called LOKI was used to bypass the locked bootloader. It still did NOT UNLOCK the bootloader. Then that exploit was patched quickly. Since then even with a few devs working on the bootloader unlock it was never found.

Now YES it "MAY" be possible to get a workaround like Safestrap that will allow flashing ONLY tw based Roms and modems. But NEVER kernels, aosp/cm/AOKP based Roms NEVER EVER. I "hope I can eat my words here" but I doubt it.

I have had ALL four ATT Galaxy Series phones. Luckily enough I got my 32Gb S4 while Loki was still available. But with the S4 I saw the writing on the wall. If you were around enough during the S4 you would have been able to feel the dev support dropping like a brick for Roms and such. It killed the momentum for making Roms (UNLESS You were able to use LOKI). Which still allows for some pretty good Roms of ANYTHING.

So thinking further ahead, even with a Safestrap type recovery the dev support will be very little to come by. Why would dev's even bother making Roms if they have to be Touchwiz based only. Have to worry about each incremental firmware update to patch safestrap versions previously used.

Again look at the NEWEST ATT S4 firmware that cannot even use safestrap. The only way is to flash the older system to the phone, then apply safestrap, then reapply the newer firmware. I believe that workaround has also been closed already on the S5.

I am REALLY hoping the S5 T-Mobile 32Gb comes out soon. That is the only way I will be moving away from my Loki'd S4...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] scott14719:
Well said. This is pretty much all anyone needs to know about the current state of things. In my opinion, the best chance for bootloader unlock is if Samsung starts a program like HTC and lets people unlock the bootloader if they agree to void the warranty, and honestly, I don't see Samsung going that route. They don't have any need to do so from their perspective. So, never say never, but I think people should be realistic about the situation. I do think there will be potential for limited mods such as Xposed or framework mods when / if root is achieved, but until then, very little can be done and it is doubtful that actual "ROMs" will ever be available for flashing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] karmuh:
I would be happy with just the ability to root. Custom ROMs seem like a waste of time to me. I would have no need for their uses, especially considering they will take away some of the very useful Touchwiz features. Just give me root so I can change some minor things and I'll be happy...but that's just me.

Either way, I'm happy with my purchase. You can already do quite a lot without root, so I can't really complain. Root will certainly happen, just a matter of time. As for unlocking the bootloader, yeah...that probably will never happen, unless Samsung goes the HTC route.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] VashTS:
I do agree with this. As a long time Samsung user and rom flasher, I'm tired of keeping up! So many times did I just flash along and then bam no gps/no bluetooth/crazy ****.

Being on a stable factory rom is not the worst thing in the world and I'm finally coming to this conclusion. I just need root to remove the bloatware and I'm happy. also xposed and better battery stats would be nice.

my only gripe is the lock screen, i want it like it used to be on CM11 on my SIII. I've been looking for an alternative but haven't found one that works good for me yet.
