Here's a cliff notes version of what worked on my tmobile MDA under linux...not sure how different the universal is.

Turn on modem link on the universal with USB as the type connection.

Run the following (and if this works you will want to have it run each time the pc boots up)

modprobe usbserial

modprobe ipaq vendor=0x0BB4 product=0x00cf

When you connect the universal to the linux box you should be able to run "dmesg" and see what the vendor and product #'s should be.

Once these have been ran the universal should map to /dev/ttyUSB0 (you will see it say so in dmesg)

You then setup a normal gprs type connection to your provider..dialing *99# etc....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Shedal:
Thanks for hint! The following commands:

"modprobe usbserial

modprobe ipaq vendor=0x0BB4 product=0x00cf"

really got my Himalaya to be detected as modem.

The modem is being succesfully queried with KPPP.

But I still can't connect to GPRS. There are 3 leds in WModem (connection, input, output), and noone flashes when i start to connect.

The modem is being initialized, then "Modem is ready", then "Dialing *99#...".

I use the following initialization string: AT+cgdcont=1,"IP","Internet",""

System is ALTLinux 3.0 Sisyphus, kernel 2.6.18.

What I did wrong?
[HTC One X] SrebX:
Hey, so I've been using the same ROM for quite a while now [Blade Elite v1.1] ... about 8 months to be exact, and I haven't updated nothing since then... Not hboot, recovery, Android version [4.1 currently] or whatever ... :3

I'd like to update to a latest version no-sense light ROM with some the best battery life possible... can anyone help me out on which ROM should I go for? what do I need to update in order to do that?

Thanks in advance :)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You need a Hboot at least 1.31 or higher. With that you can install any custom rom out here. Which one ? That's a decision you have to make. We are not going to compare roms or tell you which is the best because it all comes down to personal preferences !

Also note that comparison threads are not allowed on xda ;)
[HTC One X] SrebX:
Actually knowing that my hboot is updated got me through it all.... Thanks a lot for the quick answer :)

And apologies, I didn't mean for anyone to break a law and didn't ask for comparisons, just recommendations ...
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Was a heads up :) many people don't know that rule and recommendations will most likely end up in comparing ;)

Cheers.

Hey friends check the following link:

http://goo.gl/rUsI2n

Samsung has stated that S3 won't be receiving kitkat update because Galaxy S3 and S3 mini 3G versions come equipped with 1GB RAM, which does not allow them to effectively support the platform upgrade.

Duos also comes with 1 GB ram ;)

I don't have any hope of kitkat update for grand ;(
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] saudkhan75:
Yeah, Grand wont get kitkat update. :(
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] mysticsantum:
But the reason given is absurd. 1 GB is more than enough to support kitkat n infact kitkat is built to run smoothly even on 512mb ram devices.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] jackeagle:
Its not because of RAM its coz its old device and Almost 2 years old and according to Google upgrade will given for 18months and already it has got some major upgrades that doesn't mean that grand won't get update we might get since official never said that we won't get update when I contacted them they say they r testing and RAM kitkat can operate at 512mb of RAM without any issue...:) :D but still it's SAMSUNG:D:D;):D
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] vasanthmes:
If its gonna be rolling out for Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 then there are probability for ours too... I am hoping u too hope that we would receive update soon from Samsung :sly::sly::sly:;);););););)

This is perhaps the last substantial update from Samsung. I have HP Touchpad which was abandoned by HP with custom 2.6.x (and WebOS). Some really helpful and committed developers at xda/cm/evervolv not only managed to get latest android versions working on it, but also ported it to 3.0.x and 3.4.x kernels.

Considering Note 2 Development Community and user-base is much bigger than that of HP Touchpad, I thought someone might be working on it. Let's wait and watch.

TWRP-2.7.0.0 with "All-F2FS" support​

NOTE: I don't have a Nexus 5 to test this. It should work.

Please report back.​

I have modified the standard TWRP recovery to work with F2FS partitions.

This is for "All-F2FS" that mean that /system, /cache and /data are formatted with F2FS.

Keep in mind that this can work only with a compatible kernel and ROM.

What is F2FS?

F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) is a flash file system created by Kim Jaegeuk at Samsung for the Linux operating system kernel. The motive for F2FS was to build a file system that from the start takes into account the characteristics of NAND flash memory-based storage devices (such as solid-state disks, eMMC, and SD cards), which are widely used in computer systems ranging from mobile devices to servers.

Download:

FormatPartitions.zip: Here (It is named mako but work on N5 too)

TWRP-recovery img: Here

Chagelogs:

- 10/05/14: Fix TWRP

- 08/05/14: Initial release

Here are some explanations. Read them

Recovery has the usual red back key to remember you that you are using a F2FS-recovery.

If wiping /system and /cache and making a factory reset from Wipe menu doesn't work, use FormatPartitions.zip. (<- READ THIS)

Instead wiping /data is fine within the wipe menu.

To switch your /system, /cache and /data partitions to F2FS follow instructions:

Keep in mind that you will lose all the files on the memory of your N5.

You need:

- Two files you can download above (img and FormatPartitions.zip)

- A ROM with "All-F2FS" support

(One way to make your ROM is with Convert To F2FS)

- GApps (i think you want PlayStore.) Usual GApps. Slim AiO work well.

Copy a ROM with "All-F2FS" support to your N5

Copy GApps to your N5

Copy FormatPartitions.zip to your N5

Reboot in bootloader

Flash this recovery with Fastboot (Maybe Flashify works too)

Reboot in new recovery

Flash FormatPartitions.zip

Reboot recovery (It's needed for some reasons..)

Flash ROM

Flash GApps

Go to Wipe Menu and Format Data (Not a simple wipe)

Reboot

Done.

It's easier than it seems :)

To restore partitions to stock:

- Download a standard TWRP

- Download RestorePartitions.zip (It is named mako but work on N5 too)

Flash RestorePartitions.zip (Untested)

Flash standard Recovery

Format Data in Wipe Menu

Enjoy. :D

Thanks for:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] legolas93:
As stated i don't have the Nexus 5. But i think that if you give me the recovery.log after the failed flash i can solve the problem. :D

If you have some time can you retry and after the failed flash go to Advanced -> Recovery log. And then send it to me? Thank you.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Citizen_Snips:
[MENTION=2743057]legolas93[/MENTION] can this be done without the play store app? I can't afford to buy it, but I am comfortable grabbing recovery logs. I just haven't messed with this F2FS stuff yet. Not sure what ROMs, if any, are F2FS compatible already.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kdh2834:
There r no Roms which r f2fs-all compatible yet. But u can edit them urself to make them compatible.

Without the playstore app also its simple u just hv to change the updater-script of the rom in the META-INF folder

find for lines as below:

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "0", "/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system");

and replace them with this:

run_program("/sbin/mkfs.f2fs", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

and sometimes u can see this line isolated

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system");

so do the same thing and change it to this

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

and u need f2fs-all compatible kernels aswell..

so.. if u tried it with a CAF ROM it might give errors... but not in twrp for sure..

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] micr0g:
I tried with Slimkat,so AOSP

replaced

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "0", "/system");

with

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm having some trouble here. I am trying to make these edits, but I just can't. I downloaded Mahdi-ROM 5/09 and am trying to use 7zip. WinZip won't let me open it anymore without buying it. Used to, but not anymore. Anyways once I view the archive I go into META-INF / com / Google / android / updater-script

The lines you provided just don't seem to be there, at all. I copied each line individually and tried the find feature (ctrl+f) and the ones that I would need to edit just aren't there..? This is my first time trying this and I'm pretty lost. Any help appreciated. Also the only place I can open the updater-script is NOTEPAD.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Citizen_Snips:
OK I bought the Convert to F2FS app from the play store and I converted Mahdi 5/09. App turned out successful and put the zip in the Convert folder in SDcard. Still failed. Instructions I took were as follows;

I'm using a USB OTG to keep all of the files to flash through recovery.

-Copied F2FS converted ROM zip to OTG

-Copied GApps to OTG

-Copied FormatPartitions.zip to OTG

-I used Flashify to flash the recovery.img from OP - Flash successful - Recovery installed

-Flashed FormatPartitions.zip

-Reboot to recovery

-Flash ROM - FAILED

-Copied log to SD

Unfortunately it messed everything up. I can't boot into OS anymore. Required password to decrypt. Unable to retrieve log. I can't even access anything from TWRP file manager or ADB pull log. Had to go back to stock. I'm sure I changed recovery location from OTG to Internal SD and still can't pull log.

Then I tried it again with the instructions posted here;

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52550896&postcount=5

-Downloaded & installed recovery from that OP

-Recovery wipe

-Advanced wipe. I saw the "mkfs.f2fs" / tried with and without FormatPartition.zip

-Tried installing ROM again failed. Copied log, but again I cannot access it... ???

-Tried installing ROM w/ AOSP kernel from that thread. Tried again with AOSP kernel and F2FS-ALL kernel as well

I have also tried this recovery here, from MultiROM thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52555143&postcount=1034

Same steps no dice. I'm currently flashing factory images for the 3rd time. What am I doing wrong here? Why won't it let me pull a log at the least? What am I doing wrong here? I need some help.

Edit: It appears loading from OTG just won't work. I ADB pushed everything to /sdcard after formatting in F2FS and the ROM file installed no issues. Booted up in F2FS. Man that was an adventure and a half...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ilia1985:
Had a similar problem at 1st... And has to restock to get recovery working again... But now have a fully working f2fs :)

This steps workers for me.

1. Download recovery and kernels from here

(aosp & your choice) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52550896&postcount=5

2. Flash recovery with any method.

3. Reboot to recovery

4. Flash format partition zip from this thread.

5. Go to mounts and check if cache is selected if not then select it.

6. Now go and format data.

7. Flash rom

8. Flash gapps

9. Flash aosp f2fs-all kernel

10. Flash your choice of f2fs-all kernel.

Hope this works for you
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Citizen_Snips:
Yes I got it working. I was trying to install from OTG which will not work. After typing yes to format data I just used ADB push from recovery to send modified ROM file, gapps + AOSP F2FS ALL kernel + UBER kernel. Installed all and booted fine. It was simple really, just didn't realize at first the OTG wouldn't work.
