[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] ngravatt:
i got the tech armor ultraclear ballistic glass and have to say this is a pretty nice investment. It's $20 (at most) from amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IGISUTG/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Its crystal clear, easy to put on, and so far seems to be pretty rock solid. i havent thrown it down a gravel road or anything, but i am pretty impressed by how clear it is, how smooth it feels, and the time it took to install, which was about 5 minutes, followed by smoothing out one 'line' across the middle that looked like a crease or something the next morning, but went away by pushing it with my finger.

also have no fingerprints or 'smudge' on the phone after using it.

nice little bonus i haven't seen with most screen protectors was the 'dust removal tape'.

5 out of 5 stars for this product.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KingJDM:
So my Sprint S3 asked me if I wanted to update it this morning, and I said yes and it downloaded the update and everything then rebooted. Clockwork recovery asked if it could override the stock recovery and re-root it and I selected yes to both. It restarted again and would not go past the Samsung logo after the Sprint animation. I tried to load a recovery image I had through Clockwork but it failed. At this point it would not turn on so I took it into a Sprint store. Of course they denied to work on it because it was rooted but now my phone is stuck in download mode. I cannot go into recovery mode or even just power it on normally. It is in "Odin mode" and also has the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I tried to flash a stock rom in Kies but it fails to connect, so I tried Odin 3.09 as well as 3.04 and both fail with

hello everyone,

I install this CMW v6.0.4.8 zip file and I got a boot error saying "Secure Booting Error Device unluck so boot success.

Anyone knows how to fix this issue without going to LG tool.
[LG Optimus G Pro] luisoman2000:
I get this error every time i boot. Phone boots and works and normal so no need to fix. Does your phone boot normally?
[LG Optimus G Pro] souleater11:
After I press power button, I immediately boot up to CMW mode. I think the zip file I flashed is from Freegee zip.
[LG Optimus G Pro] luisoman2000:
Ok i had this freegee bootloop. To fix it flash twrp and reboot to recovery. Once there reboot to system. Twrp will ask to fix root, say yes. You should boot to system without issues.
[LG Optimus G Pro] souleater11:
unfortunately I dont have a SD card and havent download the twrp in internal SD
[LG Optimus G Pro] luisoman2000:
You have 2 choices, get a microsd card, or install it via sideload.
[LG Optimus G Pro] souleater11:
whats a sideload and how?
[LG Optimus G Pro] luisoman2000:
I believe the option is in the cwm. As for how... dont really know, have never sideloaded before.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craig0r:
Has anyone else had the problem of Google Now notifications going missing? For at least two weeks, the Google Now notification has been absent from my notification tray. I've tried everything I can think of, (clearing data/cache, disbling/re-enabling Google Now, uninstalling updates, deleting all my past reminders, clearing all cards, disabling and re-enabling notification settings both in App Settings and in Google Now) with no results. :frustrated:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberSlackr:
I don't remember getting any notification from Google Now, and I've had this phone for a month now. On my old LG G2 I got them all the time. I don't get my Trip Time to work notification anymore, or any of my package tracking notifications. They are there is I own Google Now, but never in the Notification Bar.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craig0r:
Yep, me too. I wonder if the M8 broke the notifications somehow... because I noticed it's also affected my Galaxy Note 8.0.

One thing I suspect (and I hope I'm right) is that either a Google Play Services update or Google Search update has broken it in anticipation of Android 4.4.3, and when we get this update, everything will be magically fixed. It's wishful thinking, but at this point, it's all I've got left. I haven't done a factory reset yet... but I think I might give that a try right now.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] inimitableac:
What happened to Miui? I haven't seen or heard anything about it in forever.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] NewSPV:
I know I am going to cause some trouble by asking this but why?

On taking my new Orange SPV M600 out of the box, I have to agree a bit sluggish, but this was mainly due to Windows.

After a little tweaking with the registry and some third party software it is now flying.

I originally thought that putting third party software over the top of the system would slow it even more, but know, the opposite was true. Using the standard windows task bar and start menu was dreadful. I tried a number of third party softwares such as True Toolbar, Handyswitcher etc, finally settling on Wisbar deluxe.

Everything now opens as soon as it is selected no nasty lag like windows. With some skinning and removal of Customised Today the phone looks great and is performing great. That is apart from my wired hands free. I can now answer and close calls with the button, but it does not activate voice dial when pressed, so I can't dial out hands free. All prevoius phones, Nokia and SE did this no problem, so why not this phone?

Anyway, back to the point of ROMS, why keep flashing?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Spenner:
I just got me one of those SPV M600 things and its not that slow, but I havent added anything else to it yet. Would you care to elaborate on "registry tweaks"? Im new to XDA/phones and havent started messing about yet.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] NewSPV:
I can not remember all of the tweaks I used, but there is a big section somewhere in here listing them. I have them somewhere on the computer but my filing is a mess and I can't remember what I called the text file or where I put it.

Basically the tweaks are just simple things like increasing cache size for fonts, programs etc. Moving file storage off main memory to SD card, disabling and enabling etc. It is claimed by doing this that the system will speed up a little. I am not sure if any of these actually did anything or if it is just down to Wisbar. All I can say is that when I click on a program it fires up straight away, before it could take a second or two.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] levenum:
Actually, the rule about flashing is: If it's not broken don't fix it.

People upgrade because they want to get rid of bugs or add features like AKU 2.0 that includes push mail and some other stuff.

Also some brands are better that others in some ways, and worse in other ways. There are several ROMs for the Prophet: Dopod, i-mate, Qtek, Orange. Finally some people cook their own ROMs throwing out useless stuff and adding apps they 'must have'.

All in all if you are pleased with your phone there is no need to change the ROM. When I got my Jamin it had the i-mate 1.xx ROM so I upgraded to 2.13 to get the AKU 2.0 goodies.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] dannyoneill:
I always belive the latest is the greatest, even if its not. I still run the latest. While the release notes say "Added this, fixed that" they also contain a lot of fixes and changes not documented.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Makis101:
Hi all.

Thats actually a very good question. From my experience you dont really need to change anything. Maybe as you said some registry tweaking or some basic settings. However as someone already said, the golden rule should be if it is not broken dont try to fix it.

On the other hand you might want to change things with no reason, just because you can.. and I have to admit that it is hard not to do. Then you have to make sure that you know what you are doing cause otherwise you might end up spending your day in forums try to fix whatever you &^%$ up..:P

Take care.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] NewSPV:
Thanks for the replies.

I have to admit, when I first got the phone I started tweaking, then I found this forum and others. Once I discovered unlocking and flashing ROMS, I was very close to doing it. Then I remembered what I used to be like on my PC. With old systems like Win ME, I used to spend about 70% of my time tweaking and fixing, and only 30% actually using the damn thing. Not what I want out of a phone.

Just by messing around with skins, I have already managed to lose my phone dialer all together, I was left with a blank screen, so I had a phone that could not phone. I have it nicely skinned and running now, but I was never able to get the Orange dialer back.

Guess the only time I will flash my ROM is when there is a genuine update and it is covered by warranty, that way if the ROM is bad, Orange can give me another phone.

Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Jorgee:
I look at it same way as i look at windows.

My windows isn't broke but I always use Windows Update.

Why do YOU update windows, if you do at all. I guess im not sure if this is advisable, but that's just the way i do it.

Regarding upgrading ROM, MOST of the time, it makes the device faster and adds more features ( i never install extended ROM ) so I always upgrade when there is a new one.

I've downgraded ONCE. And only the RADIO because 1.11 didn't agree with my device.

There are ways to Backup the device, change to a different BRAND/VERISON of ROM then restore the backup. This makes changing ROM very easy.

Anyway, I have nothing better to do with my time so i upgrade whenever a new ROM comes out.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] levenum:
Sorry to but in again but I simply must disagree with the Windows update analogy.

I have my PC set to auto update as well, but Windows XP runs updates in the background and doesn't delete you data in the process.

ROM upgrade means HARD RESET, and unless you have a good backup a long restore process.

Also there is the danger of communication / power interrupt during the flashing and a bricked device as a result.

Finlay, like with your radio ROM, some OS updates have new bugs as well as fixes for the old.

But I do wish it was as simple as updating windows - then I would say, update away, couldn't hurt.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Jorgee:
My analogy was based only on the reason for updating, not the process itself that you are stating.

What I mean is if your windows works, why update?.... This thinking... Not the "ritual"...

Sorry i did not explain that clearly. The guy just asked why update if you are content with what you have.... It has nothing to do with "I would update only if the process were simpler" like what you stated.

Sorry for the misunderstanding
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Marx2:
I upgrade because I can cook my own ROM with better application suite
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] TheBrit:
Because it's full of holes and most of the updates are plugging them.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] dannyoneill:
I think the main point is you dont have to upgrade, you can if you want, its a matter of choice.

I like to always update, some like to keep the same and have never hard reset in their life. Im on my 9th this week :S but it is a new device and im still figuring it all out.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Jorgee:
Hmm, then i guess your advice to NewSPV is to upgrade.

Me too, as i said in earlier post, i will always upgrade to the newest ROM, then just downgrade if i don't like the changes. Unfortunately it isn't as easy to downgrade from Windows SP2 hehehe
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] TheBrit:
I was talking about Windows, not WM5.

My phone came shipped with an AKU2 rom and it's fine - after a little tweaking. I'm not going to risk bricking my pride and joy with a rom upgrade - as so many people have done already on this forum. :wink:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] brounstoun:
Can anyone name some good places to read about how to flash your device with a new ROM?

Also, I was wondering about what the "extended ROM" is. Is it basically partitioning part of your storage card for use as "internal memory" ?

Thanks for the info guys!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] TheBrit:
Look at the top left of this very page and you will see a link to the wiki section of this site. How to flash is in there.

The extended rom is where the operator adds thier own customisations (over and above what M$ provide) to the device, for example Orange and O2 add their own options in there and they install when the device is powered up for the first time or when it's hard reset. If you get access to the extended rom (again look in the wiki) you can manipulate what gets installed and if you're really clever, add some of your own stuff.

Don't ask me how to do these things as I have not tried myself, the risk of bricking the device is too great for my liking.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] brounstoun:
cool, thanks paul
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] levenum:
Actually, it is virtually impossible to brick your device by manipulating the contents of the extended ROM. It is only accessed once, during first boot, and event that can be avoided by quickly soft resetting the device.

Basically it acts exactly like "file store" used to on WM 2003 devices, the only difference being it is hidden so ordinary users won't get rid of the operator junk.

In my case it was very nice of i-mate to provide various goodies there like voice dial (should be in ROM) anti virus (not only useless but damaging crap) Skype (could have just downloaded from their site, but nice thought) and backgammon (toys are always welcome).

But now ofter the initial installation it makes all the sense in the world to save these cabs (9MB~) to my PC and have extra 10 MB storage on the device.
[Nexus 7 General] SkOrPn:
And if so, how much longer do you think? Have you seen any hints or rumors plastered on the net? Do you have any links to evidence of 3.10 coming? Are we missing out on anything of importance that 3.10 brings?

Does anyone know why we are still on 3.1, which was released in 2011? I thought Nexus devices got all the good stuff first... Or are only custom roms and kernels using 3.1?
[Nexus 7 General] hencke:
Android devices rarely get new kernel versions anyway since the kernels tend to be customized to work with a specific device, and the binary drivers are built for a specific version of the kernel. This is not as bad as it sounds tho, since a lot of stuff can be backported meaning you get functionality from a newer kernel without the actual kernel version changing. Even more common with custom kernels. For example there's ROMs for our device that uses the F2FS file system which first appeared in the 3.8 kernel and gotten big changes every version after that, and it runs just fine backported to the 3.1 kernel.
[Nexus 7 General] SkOrPn:
Ok, so this quote here from Linux.com about commits that look like they are made for Nexus 7 2012, is just wishful thinking? I hope not because 3.10 is a massive jump in technology, and possibly even in performance for our device.

http://www.linux.com/news/embedded-...roid-will-be-updated-to-the-v310-linux-kernel

EDIT: Ok, I see now, so many new things from 3.4 and 3.8 may already be in our 3.1 custom kernels? If Google releases a 3.10 for the N7 I hope our devs take advantage of it, instead of porting things over to 3.1. I'd like to see our device get Android 5.0 and kernel 3.10, that would really make me feel like this was one of the best investments I have ever made.
[Nexus 7 General] hencke:
As I said, lots of the improvements from newer kernels have already been backported so there wouldn't be as big a difference in performance as you might think. The tegra commits are interesting, but sadly does not confirm anything. For example, the android police article on those same commits mentions that screenshots from the nexus 4 and 5 with the new android version still show them on kernel 3.4. The chance that the 2012 nexus 7 would get a kernel update while the nexus 5 seems awefully slim. I hope I'm wrong tho, since I think it would make things simpler for the custom kernel developers to base stuff on a newer kernel but I wouldn't get my hopes up...
[Nexus 7 General] SkOrPn:
Ok, thanks for making it a little more clearer to me. I kept thinking our 3.1 kernel from 2011 was holding us back from getting one last great update. I think features are no longer needed and I just want them to push performance as far as this thing can be taken. So with ART and F2FS finally coming, I was hoping a better kernel would grace us as well. lol, but it looks like a newer kernel wouldn't do much that the devs haven't already done.

Thanks buddy for jumping in and clearing some of that up for me. :good:

Some strange experience to report.

Flashed my unlocked (had been running CM11 beforehand) RAZR M to stock using Matt's utility (all modems, kernel, system and recovery) and everything worked fine.

After booting, I decided to accept OTA update (had done this before without any problems)

Device booted into recovery, flashed the OTA, and booted straight into fastboot, telling me my device's bootloader is now locked (status code 0) and that I can no longer use Matt's utility to flash anything (my guess is something messed up the partitions)
