[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaulusGrandis:
I've read in a couple places of people having success taking the the NC4 OTA on their stock rooted device with SU Survival Mode on and being able to keep root after the update.

I was just wondering if any has tried that and if they were successful or not, thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
I know some people just want root, but really what other point is there to doing this?? This sounds just like what happened over in the S3 forum when people who wanted 4.3 ota so desperately they ended up getting hard bricks and relocked bootloaders.

Taking the OTA, you are giving up kernel modules on NC2 and the ability to go back to MJE if you need. For anyone that missed it, read this thread about why NC2 is unique. Just flash NC4 baseband (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52633373&postcount=391), and stay on NC2 til devs cook up a safe NC4 to use. What Im doing if you ever want to use kexec in the future for aosp roms when it comes
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostintelligence:
I successfully did this.

I had to Odin back to stock 4.3 because OTA would fail, but once that finished and re-rooted with Kingo I took the update in survival mode retaining root.

I'm one of those just wanting root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaulusGrandis:
Well, I'm one of the people that only care about simple root access, so that's why I'm curious.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt_1224:
Jeez I shouldnt have even said anything about being able to take the OTA w/survival mode.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
Theres nothing wrong with taking it if you guys have no issue with not being able to change kernels in the future or downgrade with Odin. If you screw up the survival process though and lose root, beans has already said it will probably be a very long time til there will be an exploit

Theres nothing on NC4 coming from NC2 worth losing that imo it shouldnt be long til you see NC4 roms in the dev section pre rooted. But its your phone, and we all take our own risks.

Thank you for doing so - it is appreciated by many. Sometimes people get caught up in their own circumstances and cannot appreciate that not everything is so black and white.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostintelligence:
Like I said, it worked for me after doing some pre-maintenance.

My thought process was that being it'll probably be close to a year before Verizon releases another update... I plan to jump ship before I see another OTA.

That, or the awesome Devs here that give Big Red the finger and find ways to do the impossible.

Hey XDA Gnex community! For those of you who don't know me, I'm the developer in charge of Shiny ROM for the GNex. Right now, we have a stable ROM out for the maguro and toro variants of the GNex, and we're looking to expand that support to the Sprint Galaxy Nexus (toroplus)! We have a build together right now, but we're looking for users to test it out before we publish it in the forum.

If any toroplus users out there are interested in testing out Shiny ROM, either reply to this thread or PM me please! Thanks in advance!

I have the urban evening theme for themer

How can i remove the smart categories along the top and change it to twitter, facebook and other apps with the icons?

sorry i can't post a link to the theme but its called Urban Evening on themer.
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Hi,

Those icons aren't really icons, but rather text used in the Zooper Widget. To change these icons, as well as their associated shortcuts, try this:

1. Long press on the homescreen - Advanced - Unlock Widgets (come back here to lock them back into place at the end).

2. Long press on the top widget - Configure - Layout.

3. Now as you can see, there are many Rich Text Module with letters underneath, those are the 'icons'. For example, 'a' is the clock icon.

4. To change the icon/text, tap a module (e.g. 'a'), scroll to Edit Text Manually, and replace 'a' with another letter. Here is a reference to all the icons: http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.co....pdf?key=chMx6D8HCwHmdWscEnOsag&ts=1400226165

5. Once you've changed the icon, tap back, then select Module OnTap. Change it to the shortcut/app that you prefer (you can swipe between tabs).

6. Once you're happy, exit everything, and use the same method to the other widgets if necessary.

7. Lock the widgets back into place (Step 1).

It looks like a lot of effort, but it gets much easier with practice. For more information on editing themes, see our tutorial videos here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPXmDjRU7Q9daVeQYX78PNrUp0BAc9AIn
[Moto X Q&A] LARBIFY:
So I unlocked my RW moto x and tried flashing a custom rom and surprise surprise there isn't a rom that supports RW yet.

So I was wondering if it would be possible to make a sort of 'patch' for other roms in general that installs the apks need to run a phone on RW. I took a look at a stock RW rooted rom and tried to install a few apks myself, the main RW app installed but wouldn't activate the phone since everything else was missing.

I know there isn't going to be too much of a demand for this since there aren't that many RW users and unlocked ones at that, but it would be very helpful for the few of us there are.
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Have you tried xposed and gravity box? You can get most customization options of custom ROMs....and keep the moto x features that you lose with aosp custom ROMs. :)
[Moto X Q&A] LARBIFY:
Yep yep, I know about xposed modules but from what I've seen of xposed modules they aren't as fast and seamless as a well polished rom like Cyanogenmod or Paranoid android. I also haven't seen all the features I want from a custom rom in xposed modules such as a the cm theme chooser.

Thanks for the suggestion though
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
You may find the custom aosp ROMs have some glitches for the x tho...... And again, you lose all the unique moto x features. All of them.

That's why there are very few roms for the x. It's not really a flashers phone.... that's for sure. And most seem to prefer stock. Usually with gravity box.

Not to mention the downgrade issues.

As much as I love the moto x... all of the above are why my wife has it now and I moved to the n5. I think the x is the better overall phone, but missed the busy development that comes with a nexus.

The X was so perfect, it bored me. Lol
[Moto X Q&A] LARBIFY:
I'm with you on that, I've been considering switching to the nexus 5 for a while now. the moto x has alot of good stuff but there are a few alternatives to active notifications (and for me personally I don't use active notifications that much anymore since I have a pebble), I rarely use touchless control because in my opinion it is still awkward to just start talking to your phone in public, moto assist can be replaced with anything that schedules when your phone should be silent on vibrate or normal, and besides that the only thing I would miss is the two twist camera launch function.

I mean it seems like it would be harder to do but if someone could modify the stock rom with features of other roms that would be great too. In fact that would be the perfect rom, but I don't see that happening.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] My Beer Belly:
Guys, my reading leads me to believe this is possible but I want to make sure before I attempt anything.

I have spent the last week tweaking my M8 I got on the 6th and finally have it just the way I like it. Between the ROM, kernel, S-off, superCID, a few mods, tasker profiles, xposed modules and general app settings, I think I have everything about optimized to my particular use.

I obviously like to play with things and I'm not too afraid to give something a shot and totally fail, but my wife is different. I couldn't even get her to agree to root her Galaxy Nexus. However, I have finally gotten her to agree to let me tinker with a few things on hers. She likes some functions I get through my kernel and xposed modules, plus I would like to get some of my Tasker automation on her phone to help with battery life and data consumption.

So my question, can I make a nandroid in Phil's CWM recovery and install it on her M8. We both have the exact same device except for obviously the s/n and mid. A few other XDA threads mention this is possible regardless of different mid and s/n as long as it's the same device. Is that correct?

If so then I would unlock her phone, get S-off and superCID, install Phil's recovery and then restore the nandroid. Does that sounds like it should work? I assume I would still have to install the red text and tampered removal mod, but the nandroid would still keep the kernel? Obviously she would have to change her accounts and app settings, but I think this would be easier than clean installing a rom and starting from scratch with apps/settings.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an0ther:
Yes, but you will need to make a backup on hers first so that the "serial number" directory is there if there is such a directory with philz. I prefer twrp, but it should work fine with philz too.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] My Beer Belly:
Is there anything special this includes or does the act of creating a backup on her phone store the serial number that the recovery automatically restores? I'm going through Philz settings now and I don't see mention of the s/n anywhere.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an0ther:
No, you just need to put the backup where the philz backups are stored. With twrp, when you make a backup it makes a /sdcard/twrp/serialnumber/ directory and that is where backups are stored. Im not sure how philz does it, but it needs to be in the same place as other backups. Has nothing to do with serial number though. I'm just not familiar with philz
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] My Beer Belly:
Gotcha, Phil'z puts it in the clockworkmod folder under custom backup or something like that. So you're saying to first create a backup on her phone because it will then create the backup folder. I then place my nandroid there and can restore.

Philz also has an option to clone the ROM into an update.zip. I'll read around some more but it sounds like I may be able to use that to just unlock the bootloader and then flash that.
