[Motorola Droid RAZR] imucarmen:
I just recently got this phone because I broke my LG G2. I have only run kitkat roms on it and they all run slow and laggy. Sometimes it takes ten seconds or more for it to do stuff. I'm thinking that an older rom would run better. I'd even like to try ICS but I can't find anything older than 4.3 from last july. Can someone give me some links to some 4.0-4.2 based roms... thanks

Very cool. I discovered this yesterday. Includes a new Incipio ghost 100. Seller claims to have used phone less than one week.

I think it's cool that in all actuality there are 5 versions of the droid maxx not including the ultra. The standard 32 gb, the employee edition, the two new current 16gb revisions and now this!

It may very well be running 4.2.2. Haven't confirmed it yet though.

My computer connects fine to my Z2 tablet via usb, both when in mtp-mode as well as in mass storage mode. I can browse the content the tablet via computer.

However Sony's own software, the pc companion can't find the tablet at all. There is no error message, just a complete blank when it is searching for the tablet.

I'm running Windows 7 and have tried uninstalling, reinstalling both the software and drivers but to no luck.

Anyone else with this problem or suggestion how to solve it?

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woggly4:
I had the same problem. Could fix it this way:

plug in usb-cable only to your computer

start connection-progress within the software

plug in the other end of the usb-cable when prompted to connect your computer and tablet

voilà!

I never imagined, the connection-order of the usb-cable would make any difference, but it works now (whyever).

If it doesn't work for you, download, install and run the update service (http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/), follow the instructions until your computer installs new drivers (don't wipe your device and don't apply any update, just abort the progress at this point) and try again the steps above.

Hey all,

I had a quick question. I just rooted my telus Samsung galaxy s5 (w8) and now am searching for custom roms. I do have LTE device so would installing these international roms make my data speed slower say only 3g? Can I still use LTE, 4g,3g and so on? The roms im looking at are alliance, omega, and shohat. I cant seem to find whether my device will still have LTE functions after installing new roms.

Thanks

I am currently on omega 2.0 on my Telus s5. I was on alliance befor that. Omega rom will wipe your internal SD I think alliance does to but fixes are coming.

I use the omega kernel and battery life is amazing I am currently at 21 hours on this battery with 8 hours on screen time. Best of luck hippie I could help.

Can one not listen to audio through the earpiece? I of course understand it's mono but I'm primarily interested in audiobooks.

If neither of the above will not work can someone recommend a decent pair of wired earpieces? The OEM version that comes with the 8125 are awful and today on the way home I realized (duh) that when I have my MP3 earpiece in the person on the other end of the phone cannot hear me.

There are two types of screens in the direct sunlight: bad and worse. I've patiently endured that problem for years. Then I found an unexpected solution.

After application I discovered two significant changes: All of sudden the white color wasn't white any more but slightly gray with blurred dots in all primary colors (what didn't bother me much). But surprisingly the screen started to look and fell like a sheet of paper and not like a mirror any more. And that's how I eliminated an effect of direct sunlight to the screen.

when usb was plugged in, 'fastboot usb' shows up on phone's screen, but no real communication established. Windows' notification bar shows htc phone unplugged even though it's plugged in.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneWithABeagle:
Question for the more pro users/devs ... just crossed my mind ...

For example we have the XXDMH1 BTU (Android 4.2.2) ODIN firmware for the P3110 which can't be rooted through CF-Auto-Root - and unless the Search button failed me there's also no known "backdoor" to inject root. Therefore... taking apart the XXDMH1 to pre-root it and re-pack it for flashing ... is it _really_ as easy as (in Linux commandline terms) ...

tar xvf ~/Downloads/xxdmh1.tar.md5 -C ./xxdmh1

sudo mount ./xxdmh1/system.img -o loop -t ext4 /mnt

<extract SuperSU ZIP, inject required files into the image mounted at /mnt and adjusting file modes/permissions>

sudo umount /mnt

cd ./xxdmh1

tar cvf ../xxdmh1-rooted.tar .

cd ..

md5sum xxdma1-rooted.tar >> xxdma1-rooted.tar

mv xxdmh1-rooted.tar xxdmh1-rooted.tar.md5

... and flash with ODIN or do I look at from a completely wrong viewpoint?

Some input on the idea if that's the "magic sauce" to root the "unrootable XXDMH1 BTU" would be appreciated (in which case it could even be de-bloated from the get-go).
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I believe, but not sure that these files are signed and Odin will reject them if the signature is invalid. Correct me if i'm wrong, I haven't done Samsung stock firmware flashing in a while. At Sony's FTF files as example, there's no way to modify them because they are signed and cannot be flashed if the FTF is modified.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneWithABeagle:
I guess I'll give it a try then to see what ODIN has to tell me when trying to open a modded .tar.md5. I wasn't sure about the method itself ... it looks so ridiculously easy to mod the stock firmware (read: pre-root) it makes me wonder no one else thought about it to pre-root the XXDHM1 BTU firmware.

As for the signature: since we can flash Android Andi's various recoveries through ODIN I don't think that's a problem - or I fail to see the digital certificate when combing through the recovery tar.md5 with a hex-editor.

Having dealt with Sony devices myself: Neppers, the FTFs are NOT signed! The only magic of a FTF is that it's a ZIP _WITHOUT_ compression. Just rename a .ftf to .ftf.zip or .zip and extract it ... you'll find the various baseband, kernel, loader, system, data, cache bits inside, all of course in Sony's highly annoying SIN file format. If you re-pack a FTF the only thing you need to be aware of is that you need to create a "store only" / "zero compression" ZIP, or flashtool will not accept the file.

I have a bootloader unlocked Moto X and I've flashed a custom splash screen to my device. However, I'd like to reset the splash screen so it updates so it'll match the seasonal boot animation (currently the spring animation has a green moto logo). Does anyone know the command to wipe the custom splash screen and return to the default/seasonal one?

Thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Browse through the themes and apps section, I'm sure its posted there. ;)
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
When the phone starts up, you first see the static bootlogo (default is the Moto "M")... after that you see the boot animation. So what do you mean by "splash screen"?

If you have never unlocked the bootloader, the bootlogo is the CLOGO.BMP. If you have an Unlocked bootloader, or you've unlocked/relocked your bootloader, its the LOGO.BIN file.

The Motorola Boot Services app replaces the the bootloogo via replacing the CLOGO.BMP, and switches out the boot animation file on its internal schedule depending on location. You won't see the CLOGO.BMP switch if your bootloader is unlocked (because you'll be using the LOGO.BIN instead), but you will see the boot animation switch just fine.

So if you have an unlocked bootloader and want to replace the boot logo, you'll have to manually flash the logo.bin via mfastboot. See -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/themes-apps/moto-x-boot-logos-t2417961 and start around post #140 and post #150 of that thread for info on making your own, as well as a ZIP containing some premade/converted (including the Spring, Fall and Winter from Moto Boot Services, and the defaults), and there is some good discussion later in that thread (starting around post #300).
