[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justlovejoy:
If the apps are already installed and I'm taking what you're saying is you're going to basically copy and paste for my lack of more technical terms, from one phone to a few others right? Well if so the apps will not pass the installation of any updates at least for paid apps. Any apps you'd like to be system apps just drop in system/apps.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevCake:
I want to create a base image to deploy to all the phones. The base image will not contain any paid apps, mostly google services with a few utilities for tracking bandwidth and others for locking down features. After deploying the image to all the phones I would changes each google account to for the user that will get the phone. Once each user's phone is setup I will create an image for each user for restoring.

I was concerned I would not be able to remove the initial google account, I believe this was something locked in earlier versions of android but not an issue now. Phones are in today so I'll be testing everything. I have to document the process so I'll post a guide.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justlovejoy:
Sounds awesome. I'd compile something for you from source but knox is fluffing crazy. Your Google account can be transferred from the main account to another if you shall succeed by making the second one you attached to the device the primary. But you I don't think can remove the main account unless you fully wipe the device but after you swap the primary account in settings you can then delete your original. Please do share the guide I'm sure it'll come in handy.

I want to transfer two folders from my SD card download folder on my n5 to my sister's n5..

I tried turning on NFC and touching the phones, but I didn't see any way to transfer the folders.. Same for Bluetooth..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lim Wee Huat:
Use Superbeam..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
Upload it to an online storage (Google drive, dropbox, box, etc.) and send her a link.

Or there are probably some apps in the play store that will transfer files over WiFi.

Folders and files can't be sent with NFC. It's mainly for smaller things like photos, links and contact info.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nldxda:
Downloaded superbeam, thnx..

Also, I did show her drive, but was lookin for a way to transfer directly w/o a PC or internet involved..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
Well good luck with that. Depending on how big the files are, you will most likely need some kind of internet. Bluetooth will be slow or have errors.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nldxda:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hnk1:
Well, if you want to change specific fonts, you can install xposed framework and enable module "gravity box" to change the fonts specifically and change system UI. There are other modules in the xposed framework as well with which you can play.

Good Luck

Hey all

I'm tryin to install xposed framework. But I keep on getting the error "Failed to get root access"

I'm a noob here, so i'm not too sure what is going on. I am rooted on omnirom using twrp bootloader. I'm pretty sure I've done everything right as far as rooting.

Any ideas?

thanks in advanced.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Can other apps get root access? Titanium backup for example?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
Are you using the ART runtime? Because Xposed is not compatible with it.

EDIT: I missed where this was a root problem. But my statement still stands. lol
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iammrhappy123:
hey guys thanks for replying.

Titanium backup works. When I installed it right now, SuperSU asked for permission. I granted.

I noticed that for Fast/Auto app install: it has a red x and says HyperShell needed. Does that have anything to do with it?

And I am not runnning ART runtime lol
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iammrhappy123:
Weird, I reinstalled SuperSU and installed the SuperSU free app and now it works. What gives? haha

Thanks for your guys' quick responses! Great forum!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BigNoobee:
It seems that when I connect my phone to odin a com port opens. When I put my phone into recovery mode the com port does not open so odin does not see my phone. Yes I do have the phone in debug mode. Samsung drivers are in.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Odin is used in download mode. Are you trying to use it in recovery mode?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BigNoobee:
Trying to root the phone. Doesn't the phone need to be in recovery mode to root it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Depending on your phone model and what method you are trying to use to root, you may need to flash SuperSU via recovery. This process does not, however, start in recovery. It starts with flashing custom recovery via Odin and then manually booting to recovery to flash the SuperSU zip. To flash a custom recovery via Odin, you would need to boot into download mode. There are other methods, of course, to root that do not require either download or recovery modes. What's the model of your phone and what firmware version are you on?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Have you tried flashing a pre-rooted ROM? You have an i747 or i747m?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BigNoobee:
The phone is a SGH-I747M ver. 4.3

I tried rooting based on a number of videos as to easily follow the process.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BigNoobee:
I have a i747m, The situation is that odin only opens the com port when the phone is in operating mode.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BigNoobee:
I should have stated my goal. My goal is to put kitkat on my phone. After talking to my provider (petro mobility) on the Rogers network no upgrades are going to be provided and at the very least I need an s4 or better s5 to run kitkat. Also this information I was given is NOT official but only the opinion of an employee"s personal opinion, having worked for the company for some time. The phone is not supported in any way by petro mobility but is only running on the Rogers network. If any upgrades are made it will be by Rogers. Rogers will not say anything because I am not a Rogers customer.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
To flash a Kit Kat ROM, you need to have a custom recovery installed on your phone.

You can load Philz Touch via Odin.You can flash the latest tar Philz d2lte from here: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte

Boot into download mode, put the Philz tar file in the PDA section of Odin, check nothing except auto reboot and F.Reset Time.

Boot into recovery mode and you will see that Phil has replaced the stock recovery.

You can copy a custom rom to your external micro SD card and flash it.

If you just want a rooted stock ROM, look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php...tmctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=34317218

Warning: doing all of these things can soft or hard brick your phone. Make sure you read and understand everything before proceeding. The method I described worked my i747m with 4.1.2 and another i747m with 4.3. I cannot guarantee it will work for you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BigNoobee:
GREAT !!!! GREAT !!!:laugh: Sorry for Yelling It worked for me ThanX

My next step is to go get Rom Manager from the app store...watching their video now on Rom Manager.. Very high learning curve for me- hope I don't brick the phone ....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Now you have custom recovery, you can flash a Kit-Kat based custom ROM. There is, of course, a difference between a Kit-Kat based custom ROM and official Kit-Kat 4.4. We have information and I'm sure they are reliable enough, that Kit-Kat 4.4 will be rolled out for Samsung GS III and all its variants including the i747U/M. The expectation has, however, been on for some time and no one really knows when and if. If you are using a custom ROM, you will not be able to get OTA updates for official firmware if the official version is rolled out but manual updates will still be possible, thanks to the development community.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I don't personally use ROM Manager as I find it redundant. Now that you have Philz which can flash pretty much any KK ROM, you can just stick with using Philz to flash.

I like the Validus ROM on the i747m. I find it works well and has great battery life and performance.

BTW, you do not need to root in order to flash a custom ROM.

Hello, Long time veiwer first post. I Work for a local company that sells Cingular Wireless. I had a customer come in today that wanted to use there XDA III to access Internet on the laptop. No problem! wrong. In following all the similar Easy Steps guides that i read, i ran into to a small but major problem. I disabled the Activesync and on the XDA went start>Programs>Wmodem. I choose USB in the drop down and clicked start. No errors came up on the XDA but according to all the guides, Windows should have said "New Hardware Found". Aftert that install the drivers. Well thats the problem is that windows doesnt indicate any new device attached to it. Yet Activesync will sync just fine when enabled. So if the laptop cant see the modem then no internet. My Question's are,

1.) Is there maybe something that im missing or is the phones modem bad?

2.) If there isnt anything im doing wrong, Is there a seperate Program i can install on the XDA that works the same as WMODEM?

The customer is planing a Business trip this Saturday so any response between now and then would much appriecated!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Telly152:
Ok, I have read for about 3 hours now on this issue, but I think mine is a little different.

It started when google play was FC everytime I opened it, or an app that had a connection to the play store(a game with purchases, etc). It will FC TWICE everytime at least when opening up an app such as Marvel War of Heroes

Ok, now today I needed an update for an app, Deadmans Cross....... I couldn't get in play store, so had a friend load it to dropbox for me....... I then couldn't hit the install button so I uninstalled original version of the game before realizing I just need to take my screen filter off.

Ok, should be no problem now. I then proceed to install the downloaded apk, and it tells me that I have insuffecient storage and gives me a popup saying "cancel or manage storage" When I click on manage storage, it takes me to the app list in the device settings. Titanium backup WOULD NOT restore the app either.

I feel that these two things are related. I have tried the lucky patcher, and tried looking for icons not matching the apk in the data area...... I did end up deleting titanium backup file I shouldn't of, which caused titanium to now fc, so I hastely uninstalled that, downloaded new version from online, AND NOW THAT SAYS not enough storage.

I AM able to download and install several apk's. I have put lucky patcher and a cache cleaner on the device since the problem started and they went on the device with ease.

Why is titanium and deadmans cross(which is a large file, but I have 20gb open)
[Xperia Z2 General] Fadeless:
Would there be a problem with charging the Z2 overnight knowing that is will reach 100% before you wake up, lets say 2-4 hours before you wake up? I have not experienced any over heating with the phone yet but I am worried that it will happen while its charging overnight without me knowing.

I heard that the new batteries stop charging when they reach a 100% is this true?
[Xperia Z2 General] Xernoxis:
Yes it will stop charging when it reaches 100%. It's been like that for a while, even my S3 got that.

Leaving it overnight will be no problem (Well should be no problem, I don't have the phone yet)
[Xperia Z2 General] cedropol:
90 or more % of people do this in that way. There is absolutely no risk. When 100% will be reached, charging will be stopped and phone will use battery power. Eventually after couple hours charger will refill battery ex from 99 to 100%.
[Xperia Z2 General] Fadeless:
Alright that's good to know. my phone is charging right now but its quite cold. Guess the over heating problem was in some devices only.
[Xperia Z2 General] Tomcan:
I thought the overheating problem only occured when recording in 4K. I haven't had any issues with heat except when recording long sessions.

Sent from my D6503
[Xperia Z2 General] cedropol:
I also did not hear about overheating during charging over the night...
[Xperia Z2 General] BoneXDA:
You can leave it on and not worry about heat, but here's the thing: the phone obviously stops charging at 100%, but once it stopped, the phone starts discharging, then it recharges to 100% again, discharges, recharges and this goes on until you pull it off. So while you can safely leave it on cause nothing dangerous will happen to you or the phone, know that it will be in a charging loop which can't be good for the battery.

Ideal thing would be the phone stopping charging altogether at 100%, and not recharging until hitting like 95%. Right now, when it notices the tiniest drop, it will recharge.
[Xperia Z2 General] nikola1970:
^ True. I think it's really NOT good for battery to be charged overnight.
[Xperia Z2 General] Xernoxis:
I've done this with all my smartphones. My s3 have charged almost every night for two years. It still lasts a day. I don't think it harms charging it over night.

Why would they design something that is harmful to the battery in normal use?
[Xperia Z2 General] Jackos:
As an electrical engineer I'd like to point out that having the battery charged is the best you can do if you're using an lithium-ion battery. I read a lot of nonsense in the Internet regarding this matter. Only if you'd like to keep the battery unused for a long time it's good practice to keep it at ~50% (that's why the manufacturers do not charge the battery to 100% when it comes out of the factory).

But you don't have to believe me, it's your battery. Who cares? :p
[Xperia Z2 General] BoneXDA:
Yeah, but have you been charging the same phone overnight for 12 years? ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] rickaysen:
I keep a phone, on average, about six months.... Ha.
[Xperia Z2 General] Xernoxis:
I thought they didn't charge it all the way to save energy. I mean how much energy does it take to charge millions of devices.
[Xperia Z2 General] Jackos:
That's a myth. The cost is mariginal if you take into account how much energy the whole manufacturing process does consume.
[Xperia Z2 General] Xernoxis:
How is that a myth? Say they save 50 cent per charging and they have 1 mill products, that's 500k savings. Even big companies aren't that stupid.

Sent fra min GT-I9300 via Tapatalk
[Xperia Z2 General] Jackos:
Charging a phone doesn't cost 50cents. It depends on the electricity cost, but it's more like around 1cent per charge. Those are low power devices.

Which OP, if you wanted, you could probably do a one time payment of $7.95 and get FoxFi with a key and never have to pay the $10/month.
