[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackSoulxxx:
No. If u flash custom ROM, ur bootloader will stay no matter the custom ROM change. There is no way to automatic unlock ur bootloader. U have to unlock manually.

Beside LB vs UB. There's no different :D:D:D
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andywright1982:
Why do people do it if there is no difference? Was thinking of flashing a custom rom as kitkat update has ruined my z1. Loved it up until then and hoping a dev has managed to fix sonys mistakes before I sell it and go elsewhere
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackSoulxxx:
Ok, first camera problems are now fixed by flashing the whole original FTF ROM. Happens to me:silly::silly::silly::silly:

Second, there's no different about any function or perfomance on UB vs LB.

Third, there's no strong evidence proof that camera quality on UB are worst that LB. And also happens to BIONZ chip:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

If u unhappy with UB, u can still restore TA backup to change it to LB

Sony update are horrible. They always have bug and other kind of problems on every update. But atleast Sony fixed those mistake....
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andywright1982:
Thanks for the advice. :good:

One final question, if I have read things correctly, once rooted on 4.2.2 I have to flash my customer ROM (in this case monx) and then flash the sony 4.2.2 ftf over the top of this? It didnt make sense to me coming from flashing samsung firmware that i flash an official release over the top ogf a ROM.

Sprry for the n00b questiosn :eek::eek:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackSoulxxx:
No, flashing original ROM was applied on Kitkat rom coz many people suffering that problem. No need to apply that on JB. Just flash custom ROM and maybe flash the kernel and baseband to the right version. Enjoy!:o:o:o
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andywright1982:
Cheers. have some 'thanks' on me :good:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
As wassaid above, the only way to unlock the bootloader is via the official Sony method, you cannot do it by accident

O wow, there is a world of difference!!!!

With unlocked bootloaders you can flash custom kernels and bring all that a custom kernel can bring you. True custom roms (Not stock based ones) but CM/AOSP etc as well as the possibility of OC/UC/UV, there is a whole host of advatages to custom kernels. Just take a look at any custom kernel thread in the original development section. None of that can be done on locked bootloaders

Dont think anyone has noticed with the TyTN but HTC have re-enabled the feature to quickly access the call list and speed dial list. In the phone app click either Up or Right to access the call list; Down or Left for speed dials. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Inc:
haha - good one ;-) ... first thing I noticed when I switched on the device; maybe because I came straight from the hw6515 where that's exactly how it works.

Martin
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fordcan:
With smartskey (search for it)

in phone application by default

UP :Speed Dial

DOWN: Call History

LEFT : Messaging

RIGHT : Contacts

And if I remember right; also you can change the behaviour of the buttons

Hope this is what u r asking for :lol:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] efjay:
The reason i posted it was because when WM5 was first released this was one feature that was missing that was present on WM2003SE previously.

Dont use smartskey as i came from a BA not a wizard.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fordcan:
OOOPS :oops:

I did not notice the re-enabling thing :?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cpchanel:
works with the wheel also.

This means one hand dialing really is possible.

Great find
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] eva_d:
what actually is accessed by wheel? recent calls or speed dial?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] thewall:
Does this function have an on/off setting somewhere. I know I had it before but now for some reason the d-pad won't access call list...? Not sure what happened.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lio:
I did realise since I also came directly from a blue angel. I didn't know that it works with the wheel too.

That's great!

The only thing which I find a pity is when I'm in Call Status mode just after finishing a call, then it does not work. Anybody know a way to make it work in call status mode, too?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] howi303:
I did not install the Extended Rom on my o² Trion and this function is not working. I really miss it though.

Does anybody now, what CAB do I have to install? Or did anybody try Smartskey on a TyTN?

Cheers

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] eva_d:
i did, works, however i'm only using SmartSKey on my Hermes for quick real-closing apps with right softkey. i don't know how accessing call history and other phone-stuff works.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crosshash:
Hello, I've seen that there are plenty of ROMs which say they're Google Play Editions which is confusing me a bit.

Is there a ROM which is just essentially, 100%, the same version that Google uses on the GPE model? So I could flash my phone with that and my phone will essentially be a GPE S4.

Will it have OTA updates?

(The reason I didn't get the GPE is because it's not available in my country).

Thank you

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
In short nope you can't fully convert it, the closest you can do is flash a Google edition ROM. While the GE and touch wiz S4's have the same!e hardware it would seem possible, but the Google edition has a different boot loader and is partitioned differently and no one has figured out how to change this on a regular S4 (if it's even possible at all).

I've also posted this in the Alliance ROM forum, but I'm not sure if it's a ROM-specific bug, so I'll try here too if that's OK.

Small but irritating problem - I have the Samsung flip cover (not the s-view cover), and I suddenly have got the "set s-view window colour" screen when I open it.

It flashes up and disappears quickly, but it's a PITA, and I can't find a way of disabling it.

My boy used the phone yesterday and I think he managed some unusual button press combination.

As always thanks for any advice.

@ all who already have the .69 update:

Would be really great if you could post here the content of the file

/system/usr/idc/clearpad.idc

(use, for instance, ES file explorer to access it, no root needed for that).

So we can find out whether the improved touchscreen response in the update has anything to do with altered parameters in that file.

Thanks in advance!

OK, so if there really is a fix in .69, it has absolutely nothing to do with clearpad.idc, since the values are always exactly the same in every firmware iteration.:cool:
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricky D:
always may not be exactly correct, all is maybe what you meant, in this FW update the values in this file haven't changed.

touch.filter.path = /system/lib/touchfilter/tftype4.so

This file is referenced and may have changed.

Also, there may be other factors e.g. a break in the commands that wake up the touch-screen from deep sleep or just better overall CPU responsiveness resulting in a clearing of a bottleneck of processes elsewhere.

Hi

I have a KAYA KTAB tablet. every app that i install is automatically installed to the tablet.

when I uninstall applications they all aggregate in removed applications. this depleted almost all the space on the tablet.

I can move some of the application to SD card but most of them require root permissions to be moved.

I managed to get my hands on the device drivers. I tried rooting the device with no success.

1. is it possible to delete the "removed applications"?

2. any advice for rooting the tablet?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardshocker:
Okay, the other day while I was in a tech class I decided to plug my phone into my teachers sub and speakers since he allows that on occasion. But when I plugged in the audio cord and tried to click the power button, my phone was randomly off. I unplugged the cord and turned my phone back on and decided it was a random coincidence and while it was booting back up I plugged the audio cord back into the headphone jack. The screen bugged and then the phone shut off and now won't turn on. Turns out the the cord I used was one that was sending signal out of the sub rather it being audio in. I've tried just letting it sit and charge but nothing has worked. Computer doesn't recognize anything either. Anything I can do or am I screwed? I was running Paranoid android 4.3 beta 1.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
I was getting pretty frustrated with how KitKat handles the ext sdcard permissions. After doing a search I came to THIS post by poit and it worked great. So I thought I would make a flashable for folks. All this will do is replace the system/etc/permissions/platform.xml with the only change detailed below.

*Note: I've only tested this on my device running Stock rooted obtained by flashing the [FULL RESTORE][TAR] Stock ND8 4.4.2 with Odin found HERE.

Just flash in recovery. :cool:

Down Load HERE

These are the instructions in case you would rather do this yourself.

Instructions:

1- Using a root-enabled file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions

2- Edit platform.xml

3- Find the following code:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r"/>
<group gid="sdcard_rw"/>
</permission>

4- Add "<group gid="media_rw" />" so that the code looks like this:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r"/>
<group gid="sdcard_rw"/>
<group gid="media_rw"/>
</permission>

5- save and restart

-----------------------------------------------------------

Here is a good article detailing what we're dealing with and why.

*It is important to note that there may be additional issues I don't know about and as I am a truck driver, not a programmer I may or may not be able to fix things.

If you deodex the Rom then use xposed framework in there that allows write permission. Or use a root explorer go to storage sd and then properties and change the permission there

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] McBadass:
Can you expand on how you did this? I'm trying to do just this, but I'm not sure what you mean by mounting the system changed permissions to all storage...

Is that under the permissions.xml or is that somewhere else?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robalboa:
OK you must be Rooted and have supersu first of all.

Second open es file Explorer

Goto tools (swipe right) turn on root Explorer grant super user permission

Next I press root Explorer (the tool you switched on)

You'll see a pop up that gives you options click mount system r/w

Next navigate to each internal folder (legacy emulated and 0) long press each one separately

Long press o choose properties in the more section change to r/w on both the top rows all the way a crossed 3 check boxes

Do this on all 3 folders next

Navigate to system long press, then properties again check same boxes and also check uid.

Close out es and reboot.

Tada all apps work fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DaWeav:
Of course why they have changed the permissions of the external sdcard is puzzling since the internal memory sdcard still allows full access. So, I imagine their next step will be the internal storage permissions. Isn't this a strange restriction from a company like Google who claims to be so 'open'. I guess they are hiring too many of those Apple defectors nowadays.

Anyway, I download podcasts, and I really don't like the way if I use the default external sdcard permissions that anything the app puts in the extsdcard/android/data/(app) directory gets deleted when I remove the app, and since most apps are being changed to abide by these new permission restrictions in kitkat, will this modification stop kitkat from deleting the app data on the external sdcard when the app is removed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Easy way to find out is to backup the data folder and remove the app. Will probably take as long to test as it did to ask.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
Plus getting the data folder and file permissions correctly set can be a little difficult.

It would probably be easier to backup the app with Titanium to begin with since it saves and restores the data for you.

Edit: And to address the original question about external SD saved data folder, I have no idea other than to copy it off before you remove the app and copy it back before you first launch it. ;)
