[LG Optimus G (International)] manu2kx:
Like many of you I haved rooted, unlocked with FreeGee and installed many custom ROMs on my LG Optimus G.

Now I decided to go back to STOCK ROM, I followed this GUIDE to flash KDZ, everything worked OK, phone works like it has to.

So if everything works what are the problems, well ... I have some questions for you:

1. Many of you are writing in the forum that after flashing the KDZ the phone will revert back completly to stock. Will it revert bootloader back to stock too?

2. If the answer of above question is that it will revert back to stock, then in this forum someone says that bluetooth gets its MAC adress from bootloader. Why my bluetooth MAC still begins with 41:4E ? Is this one of the compromises when you unlock the bootloader?

3. Is it possible that in flashing KDZ guide I did something that will not flash the bootloader?

4. Is there a way to fix bluetooth MAC adress?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] pramodsn28:
HI

can anyone tell me there is anyway to port miui rom using stock rom as base? i am using samsung galaxy core i8262 phone.
[One (M8) General] bah77:
Bit of background....

Was never much a fan of android and had just about every iphone from day dot right up until the iphone 5.

I'd Jailbroke all the way through with each device, a lot of tweaks, modding etc.

Started to get very bored of the whole iphone thing but ended up losing it anyway (left it on a train)

That's what made me think, why not try something different? So claimed on my insurance and went for a Galaxy S3.

NEVER MISSED MY IPHONE ONCE. How android has improved over the years.

Loved the functionality of the S3, although not the build so much. Had it rooted with CM, gravity box, adaway and that was me happy.

Was very excited to wait for the M8 and upgraded as soon as it came out, wasn't disappointed, LOVE IT! :D

Fantastic build quality, great looks, great spec. Could hardly fault it anywhere.

Decided to jump in and root it to get some of my favourite things.... That's where my disappointment began :(

Unlike the Samsung, everything seems really difficult to achieve, some things impossible.

Unlocking the boot loader is a fairly long process but it was fairly straight forward... Job done

Rooting, fairly straight forward... Job done

HERES WHERE THE NOT SO FUN PARTS STARTS...

Adaway, kinda works but not. Keep having problems with it being disabled on boot up and not being able to copy host files

From my research it seems to be a problem with s-off not being active although I'm not sure?

Tried the s-off process and at the end was told it won't work on my device, no one seems to know exactly why?

Another app I wanted was gsam battery, again... Kinda works but not. Standard stats work but more advanced won't.

Tried the root companion, can't get that to work at all.

Something else I really wanted was gravity box through xposed. That won't work with sense.

In order to get that I believe I have to flash another rom that dos'nt have sense, think that only leaves the google play edition rom?

That I believe also loses me blinkfeed and ultra power saver which are both pretty good.

Not sure if I need s-off for that, if I do I can't get it anyway

May main reason for root was for gravity box and adaway, one of which I kinda have and one I don't have at all.

So overall, very disappointed now :(

Just thought I'd share my experience as it might help others decide on purchase choices.

Also if anyone has any tips to get around my issues I'd really appreciate it
[One (M8) General] boofhead:
its for those reasons i now leave my phones stock. i used to customise my windows phones to get them to work but since switching to android i just use them and update the stock software when they become available. i also have an m8 and i have only installed gsam, chrome and epson printer apps. that is all i have needed so far. i seem to be able to do everything i need to do without any more apps installed. i had a htc one x previous and sensation before that and had so much stuff on them that they were litterely full of apps. i will probably end up adding heaps of apps as time goes on but the stock setup on the m8 is very powerful and capable (not to mention fast). i would recommend just installing the stock rom back and use it for a while. is there really any advantage to rooting these anyway.
[One (M8) General] bah77:
Xposed framework would be a huge advantage to me to get rid of annoying things, some small some not so small.

Even the volume warning really annoys me, there's no way to disable it without xposed working

Also on my s3 I moved the close all apps button to bottom left, much easier for me being a lefty
[One (M8) General] purple patch:
Hi, ads can be blocked through modified hosts file (you can search how to do that). Have you tried a custom ROM with root already done. I use Venom and have always used adaway, both s-on and s-off with no issues.
[One (M8) General] ivicask:
Sorry but i dont understand what problems you actually have or what you done/expect from your phone

Adaway and GSAM battery stats works perfectly on all custom roms for M8 without issues.

And roms like our Viper ONE M8 provides endless customization and tweaking options, can you tell me what can you do with that gravity that you cant in viper rom?
[One (M8) General] rquinn19:
Gravity Box wouldn't work on a Sense based rom anyways. I think the main source of your issues is the lack of research (user error).
[One (M8) General] dubbactrumpetmsu:
What parts don't? I haven't gone incredibly far into GB, but the NavBar tweaks worked for me and I'm on Viper, a Sense-based Rom.
[One (M8) General] bah77:
I've been looking at viper actually, considering flashing tonight

I mainly wanted to move the close all apps button to the bottom left rather than top right

Stop the volume warning popping up when increasing volume

Have the pull down go straight into settings rather then having to use 2 fingers

I had all that through gravity box on my s3.

I'm guessing they won't all be on viper but as viper isn't sense gravity box should work anyway, is that right?
[One (M8) General] Try4Ce:
First off: Sense isn't TouchWiz. All features of GravityBox which work on TouchWiz or AOSP wont always work on Sense.

Plus, Sense 6.0 is still VERY fresh and the devs of GB and similar are still looking into what can be done on Sense and what not.

Viper is already heavily customizable and may already feature most of the things you want. Then there is always GPE which replaces Sense with Vanilla Android most GravityBox features will work with - Tho you need to know that some exclusive features like a couple of camera things, dot view etc wont work as extensive as on Sense anymore.

Its all a matter of what you really need and what you really wanna do. I for one prefer to stick to Sense which is mostly stock (InsertCoin) with some customizable settings - keeps the system cleaner and snappier IMO.

You decide :good:
[One (M8) General] bah77:
Many thanks for the response, I will have a look into the different roms more over the weekend

I guess I was too naive, only on my 2nd ever android phone and that's from a hell of a lot of phones I've owned in the past

I guess I was thinking along the lines of a one android fits all but that's quite clearly not the case, there are lots of differences between one android phone to another
[One (M8) General] Try4Ce:
Hehe well yeah, every Android phone can be quite different to each other. Its with the hardware already. On the iDevices, its all streamlined and almost everything will work on the different iPhones. Its convenient, but nothing for me - I am a modder and toy around alot, and thats where Android kicks in.

Some things on Android can be annoying, since there are much more differences in Hardware and Software among all the devices running Android, but it actually can be quite interesting to see what all the talented Android Developers come up with.

I hope you find what you are looking for. The M8 is a hell of a great device and dispite of being so new, alot of customizations are already possible.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] AllanJacques:
Ok, so I am considering buying a tablet Z2.

Being a happy owner of the tablet Z I am quite fond of sony bute some aspects got me thiking if this model is worth a shot, conseidering that I have a tablet z already.

As far as I could grasp the tablet Z2 should have almost same performance as my Z1 (phone) on a day to day task basis, as I use the tablet mainly to read ebooks, browse net and open large pdf files from work.

That being said I was wondering how Tablet Z2 would compare to competition such as Galaxy note 2014 and Tab pro 10 as they both have superior resolution than Z2 tab.

Anyway, I am posting here so you could show me aspects mainly on the resolution front.

Thanks in advance!

Please change to right section?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] hasenbein1966:
??? Strange question...

The resolution is the same as on the Tablet Z which you have. So... er... are you satisfied with it or not??

The resolution on some other tablets is higher, yes. Don't you have a shop near you where you can test it?

I also have a Nexus 7 (2013) and a LG G2; the lower resolution of the Tablet Z2 is NOT an issue for me, the difference is really neglegible.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Crozar:
consider buying? heh check this out first http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712879&page=2

btw consider testing in a shop and let him bring a fish tank dip the z2 tablet and let the people of sony seller see the real issue from this lame production line. this issue cant be missed by a blind man
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] The Only Ozzy:
Yes, the resolution is lower. But it is still a 1080p display. Not to mention it has the Bravia engine, which makes up most of the difference in my opinion. I have no buyer's remorse, and have not had the loose bezel issue that is mentioned above. For features the z2 is about the same when compared to the note 2014. The edge Sony has is the front facing speakers. Samsung has the stupid pen thing and a bigger battery to support their better display. Samsung also has a sh!tload of bloat ware that noticeably slows the device down. Get the Z2, you'll be a happy camper.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] malutki:
And I say get Note 2014. It is so much better than Z2. I love the pen and the screen on the Note is much better than on Z2.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Pondy:
I'm not sure about this. I have a note 2014 that I am selling to fund my Z2 Tab purchase. Note 2014 - very disappointing. Laggy as all hell.

Yeah the screen resolution is nice, as is the s-pen. But a very disappointing experience. Can't wait to get rid of it.

I'd suggest you try out both for yourself first though. The Note 2014 is quite heavy and uncomfortable to hold - just my experience.

540 g - that is 110 g more than the Tablet Z. Makes a huge difference.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Pondy:
Indeed, I havent actually tried the Z2 out. But going by all reviews so far it will be nicer to hold.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] tumpin:
if you have the

If you have a Z1 tablet already Im not sure its worth buying the Z2. Its virtually the same. If you didnt have either of them before then I would say pay the extra to get the Z2 but its not worth upgrading if you already have the Z1. No point getting a Note either, its all more of the same unless you are that desperate ffor a higher resolution screen.

The new Nvidia and Snapdragon chips come out soon. New tablets wont be far behind. Keep your Z1 for a bit longer and wait for the nextgen tablets to come out.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] trainplane3:
I'm in the same boat. I have a 2013 Nexus 7 and the screen sensitivity (or lack of it) is driving me crazy. I just want to throw this crap out the window and get something that's solid and works.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Skogstoken:
A late reply but if thats your criteria I wouldnt bother with the Tablet Z2 cause alot of people, myself included, have trouble with touch sensitivity. But I guess you already know that. Hopefully Sony will fix it tho!

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] cobra25:
I've gone through all the pages in the Prophet part of the forum I can't seems to find answer for the (probably) very simple questions that I have. I'm guessing that just about everyone (except me of course) knows the answers to these questions so here goes:

1. Upgrading ROM, why?

I'm guessing that the main reason to do an update is the same a running updates for a normal PC? Old problems and issues are resolved with a new rom?

2. Different versions?

Going through the forum you run across various versions; Dopod, I-mate, S200 (and some I've probably missed). Is there any page or guide that shows the differences between the various versions?

3. Phone company info?

If you update the rom, will all phone company info be lost? Can you enter the stuff that needs to be entered manually? I'd hate to do an update and then not be able to use my phone anymore.

4. Warranty?

Any idea if messing with your rom voids the warranty on the phone?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] hanmin:

Yes.

2. Different versions?

Going through the forum you run across various versions; Dopod, I-mate, S200 (and some I've probably missed). Is there any page or guide that shows the differences between the various versions?

Mainly due to some of the goodies attached to some of the ROM, e.g. the splash screen some of the Today's plugins.. and mostly on the Ext ROM.

3. Phone company info?

If you update the rom, will all phone company info be lost? Can you enter the stuff that needs to be entered manually? I'd hate to do an update and then not be able to use my phone anymore.

Yes. Yes. You can still use your phone if you know what you are doing.

4. Warranty?

Any idea if messing with your rom voids the warranty on the phone?

Yes, it will void your warranty in most cases.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] cobra25:
thanks for the quick reply..

2. Different versions?

Any idea if you can see somewhere what the differences are? And does it really matter if I use the Dopod rom on my Qtek S200?

3. Phone company info?

I was suddenly wondering if you really need to enter any info at all. Isn't it enough to set Network to automatically select and the info on the SIM will take care of the rest?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] levenum:
Hi cobra25.

In the future I recommend you don't restrict your browsing to the Prophet part of the forum. There is a lot of interesting stuff in the general forums for everyone and then there is the WiKi.

Now to your questions:

1) Yes, it's just like updating your desktop windows and device drivers, but while a certain update may fix some issues, it may cause others.

Example: AKU2 update gives you push mail and A2DP (BT stereo) but it removes clock from taskbar and makes the date plugin 2 lines high. This really annoys some people.

2) This are versions from different brands. Ordinarily you can only upgrade to the same brand you bought the phone under. To change brand you need to CID unlock you phone or use a special updater that doesn't check for vendor ID. All this info can be found in the WiKi.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a comparison page for Prophet (someone posted a doc file for the Universal a while back). I do remember a couple of month ago someone on this forum written a comparison after flashing several different ROMs.

3) Settings for MMS and internet (I assume that's what you meant, since everything else is stored on the SIM) will be lost unless the update was issued by your phone company (like Orange or O2), but it is not difficult to recover. You can set it up manually (your phone company is obligated to provide the setting on their site or through customer support), or you can unlock the extended ROM (simple registry tweak) and save the settings cab file to the PC.

4) If you use an official update from the OEM or the phone company, it shouldn't void the warranty. However it is best to check with who ever sold you the device on the exact policy.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] cobra25:
Thanks for the answers. The weekend is just around the corner so I'll take your advice and take a look in the general forum.

As for point 3:

Can you believe that I haven't even looked at MMS & Internet yet. I've got my normal PC for internet. Currently using it to play games, use the calendar, contact and mainly the normal phone.

Next thing I'm going to take a look at is push mail, that certainly seems interesting..
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] levenum:
Ok, well to set you off on the push mail thing:

If you have an exchange server available, it as easy as entering its info in ActiveSync on the device.

If not look up mail2web. It's a free service, but you do need to create an account.

But heed my warning:

Push mail uses a lot of GPRS traffic and as a result shortens battery life significantly.

It is not recommended if you have limited data plan or can't recharge your phone every day.

Oh and one thing I forgot to mention:

When you update the ROM all data in your device is deleted so back it up!

Have a nice weekend!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lvlx:
Another disturb factor is SPAM. It is push mail killer.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mc.dodd:
hi, hope you are all well.

This is a bit of a long shot but got to be worth a try as we have come to a brick wall and desperately need some help.

To cut a long story short, as some background for you, a friends Nokia Lumia 800 Windows 8 was stolen by some skank head, the phone had cherished pictures containing the photos of her new borns when they were very ill in hospital. No other backups..we have the phone back but it has been restored to factory settings.

here is the problem, as it does not have a memory card and the storage is internal we cannot get the drive to be recognised by windows as 'a drive'

it states that it is 'generic hierarchial' and I cannot get any software to pick it up. have managed to edit the registry so it shows up as storage and can access it but recovery software just doesn't 'see' the drive. They are MTP and use 128bit bitlocker for encryption.

Can anyone please help with this? the family are gutted and I would really like to find a way to at least try and recover something from it.

thank you for reading and look forward to any help and replies you can offer.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titi66200:
Lumia 800 is WP 7.x not WP 8.

For WP7 only Zune can sent media to the phone.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
When the Lumia 800 was new, there was a bootloader hack to get it into USB Mass Storage Mode (this is how the first custom ROMs for the 800 were made). Unfortunately, Nokia patched that out really quickly, and prevented downgrading to that bootloader version. So unless the phone is missing a whole lot of updates, there's no way to get block-device-level access from your PC.

With that said, I haven't been following the Lumia 800 hacking scene recently, but it's possible that there's a way to root the phone. If so, a high-privilege app could (theoretically) get direct access to the storage and attempt to extract the images that way (basically, the kind of software you'd have run on the PC, but run it on the phone instead). That would be a lot of work to write such an app, though.

Also, if Bitlocker was enabled before the hard reset, the data is going to be quite unrecoverable. Bitlocker uses a different master key each time it is "turned on" and cracking AES is not something you can do by whining at people hard enough.

I realize this isn't what they want to hear, but... this is why you back things up! I don't like the "automatically upload my images to Sky/OneDrive" option, but it's there; if you choose not to use it then you're taking responsibility for keeping your photos safe yourself.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mc.dodd:
hi, many thanks for your reply, I was sort of resigned to the fact all was lost but thought I'd at least try. I always back things up and advise all my friends to do so, this particular phone had come through a friends boyfriend who I didn't know and hadn't backed up, then the phone was stolen.

The phone was restored to factory settings so I am assuming it has had no updates since then, it is on Bootloader 7.41.0.0 Windows 7.8

Hello,

Can i flash i9190 kernel to i9192 without bricking my phone or having serious problems after installing?

THANKS!!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fburgos:
why do you want to do that, there are plenty of good kernels for i9192, like silvimuik, cobain, nazari.

you can try but i think you will get trouble, if you do make sure yo have, cwm nandroid backup, original kernel for your firmware and the complete firmware just in case something went wrong.

personally I've flashed the i9190/5 cm10/11 build to the i9192 but none of them work, didnt have any troubles going back to my cwm backup but be carefull you could brick your device.

my recomendation is to use any of the kernels made for the i9192, those are great.
