[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sahaab:
The latest (12.1.A.1.201) is a little better on ram but still not that good

There is no real way to root except by downgrading to 4.1 then upgrading via CWM

Wiping apps from rom is never a good Idea, tho if u have root u can play around with low memory killers and OOM'S but i suggest u stay away from em if ur a newbie

If you are looking for performance i suggest go back to 4.1

But if u are okay with a little lag, and optimizing the phone, then root and stay on 4.3 (also if u want the UI of 4.3). There are some guides to speed up ur phone on 4.3 i believe

For me i am unrooted on 4.3, but i have disabled heavy ram eating apps like google play services, google play store, maps and etc, still it is no way near what i can get from root

I have told u i believe all ways, it is your choice for what u want now

this build suggestion method for root is CWM???

i suggest u too look away from Sony stock.. if u are unlocked try custom rom ... got around like 500mb free ram.. after install apss got like 400+ free... even if yr phone are locked u also try slimROMForLocked but to get those CWM running in locked phone if would be tedious :D

Hey guys i had hyperdrive rls15 installed on my phone. Im selling ti since i bought the new s5. I wiped the cache dalvik and data then installed the same rom rls15. It booted fine and i let it sit and everything seemed ok. but after i reset it im just getting the samsung galaxy s4 screen. I let it sit for about 10 to 15 mins and nothing happens. So i tried using a 4.2.2 tar file to go stock but that is doing the same thing. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Most likely you're going to need to flash a 4.3 Odin tar not a 4.2 so that's the issue here. I'd suggest using Surges full wipe MK2 file which I can link you to. Doesn't sound like your phone was on Kit Kat so that should do it

Hi all, apologies if the advice posted to other phones will work here, but I recently rooted / installed CW Recovery and am getting an OTA Notification.

I assume I shouldn't install it (although CW Recovery gives me the option to apply it as an unsigned zip).

Is there a way to safely disable this and future notifications?

Hi all,

As the title suggests I'd like to remove the stock lock screen so I can use the lg g2 one I've installed.

I'm thinking if I delete the Sony one then I'll more than likely be left with the stock android one, is there a way to remove all of them (minus errors) so that the lg one is left to run on its own.

HI everyone, I am making an observation and hoping for some feedback from those that are much more well versed in this subject than me...

On and off over the years, I have used ODIN for flashing various things...back to stock etc....I am by no means an authority but it seems to me that Odin is kind of unreliable at times. I always seem to get it to work but it seems I have to always close it and reopen it or change my usb ports...or reboot my pc etc... and so on...

Is this a common issue? Or could it be my PC at home? Maybe my usb cords?

I am looking for some feedback on this b/c it kind of holds me back from trying to flash new things to my s4....

Any feedback is appreciated...Thanks!

This might be a little off topic or expertise in this forum, but you never know.

I have my own personal phone (Verizon Note 3) connected to my companies MS Exchange to view my work email. My question is, what visibility do they have or can they have into my phone? IE, I have other personal emails set up (gmail for example) and use my phone for texts as well. Note: I have set SMS to NOT sync with Exchange.

I believe I've read they have access to wipe my phone and/or delete my account, but cannot visibly read stuff such as texts or emails on my phone. I also read they COULD have access to these kinds of things if it was ISSUED by them and have it set up by them (which it is not).

Thoughts?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] l2icky:
I was running Clean Rom and everything was working just fine. I flashed liquid and the touch wasn't working at all. I held the power down to reboot and the device would not completely reboot. It hung on the Google Screen, I booted into TWRP, the touch still wasn't working... At this point I attempted to flash 4.4.2 stock image, it hung on the google screen. I flashed it again. It booted up, went through the motions, then shut down, booted into fastboot to flash recovery, flashed recovery, hung at google. Since, I can not get passed the google screen and I have tried everything I could think of and everything I have found...

I have flashed stock images through cmd via fastboot, I have tried Wug's toolkit, I have tried android toolkit...

It'll boot into fastboot, but it will not boot into recovery, stock/custom.

I don't know what else to try..

Any ideas would be helpful.

It still responds to touch and seems to be working properly. Charges and everything. Is there a fix to this that doesn't involve an entire new unit?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] TechGeekDK:
Well I do know that Samsung offers repair of a shattered screen at 1/2 the price if you did it within 1/2 a year from date of purchase. At least Samsung offers this in Denmark. Not sure what goes in the US. But might be worth a try to ask your supplier. A lot of the stores don't really know that Samsung offers this.. So if they say "noooo way!" ask them to double check with their service center.

Yes, It appears to be the correct screen. However, keep in mind that build quality of these screens are not the same as the ones from Samsung. I've repaired plenty of iPhones with cracked screens and the replacements that I would buy varied in build quality some of them were awesome and had little to no flaws, but I did receive a few that were awful.

Good luck with the repair.

Hi guys,

May most of u read about the HTC W8 from evleaks. I dont know if its true but lets say there will be a W8 with the same Hardware specs as the M8 would it then maybe be possible to port WP8 to the M8 and from that base to the M7?

Just an idea...what u think about?

Cheers Naily

I have to say, when I saw that device too I was thinking if it was able to be ported to the M8.

That would be very cool
[One (M7) General] throcker:
a very experienced dev on hd2, sir Cotulla from DFT, was working on a custom bootloader for m7 (magldr) which makes multiple os boot possible, in particular he was trying to port win 8 RT (he wasn't much interested on WP)

I am very interested in this thread.

[One (M7) General] wolfsstolz:
m8 will come as Windows Phone Edition, are drivers from M7 so possible or will work a port to m7 when m8 is release !? I hope that will work as a dualboot System
[One (M7) General] dd98:
well for it to work we will need to heavily modify the bootloader to even support wp 8.1 but if the rumours about the htc w8 supporting both systems, then it would be a matter of porting over the bootloader, if cotulla could make a working wp/android bootloader on the hd2 then it should be possible
[One (M7) General] zelendel:
The hd2 was the last of a great line of device with a great hackabilty. Our boot loader will be far harder to deal with. They patched most of the things since the hd2. There never will be another device that is that versatile
[One (M7) General] dd98:
well if the w8's bootloader does support android then it could be theoretically possible to port over the bootloader but we would need a team of developers working in tandem and some "guinea pig" m7s

Your wrong there buddy. The reason the HD2 was able to run WP7 was because WP7 was mostly designed on HD2's! It was one of the most powerful devices of its time. Hence WP7's default specs closely resemble the HD2's specs.

[One (M7) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
At first we m8 users have to get it...the problem is the boot loader...if cotulla or others could work on it it may be possible...but really the wp boot loader is definitely more secured then any android boot loader .... So we will see...

given the nature of windows phone, the m8 for wp's bootloader will be sealed as tight as a blackberry

[One (M7) General] Paul_Bags:
Microsoft should release it for the M7 officially. Having used android for a few months I'd possibly even pay for it. Although I'd probably end up just as disappointed. Not sure how they expect to get market share with basically zero windows phones out there.
[One (M7) General] Djolenzze:
i read several times how they port WP to HD2, how can you all not remember that HD2 is WP and they ported android on it... come on people.
[One (M7) General] alray:
Microsoft don't have the freedom to officially release their OS to a device that they don't own btw...

I don't think this will happen. Do you know any company nowadays that spends time and money improving (if we can call WP an improvement :D) a 2 years old product? Most of people will buy a new phone after using one for 2-3 years max. We should consider ourselves very lucky to still receive new updates after almost 2 years, they never (HTC) supported a phone for that long. So I don't think they will bring WP to the M7

Global market share of WP in Q2 2014 is only 2.5% but Android is 84.7%. I'm not sure they (phone manufacturers) will improve their market share if they choose to use a platform that 97.5% of the consumers are not using.
