it was ported from an HTC one.. it's not reading these values from the phone, they're just images used in the boot animation.

if you pay close attention, you'll see 'htc one' in the preview in the OP

I have ported this boot animation from an HTC One thread since I liked it very much. All credit goes to original creator langer hans.

yeah i did read that was wondering how would htc branding look on a Nexus phone thats all...and the same bootanimation is available in bootanimation forum without the htc branding
[HTC One Mini] circuit1:
So as you all guys know HTC has revealed today, its upcoming mid-tier successor HTC One Mini. Apparently it looks like that it is very similar to the current One Mini spec wise for example Snapdragon 400, 1 GB ram, 720p display. However it have a better camera, sdcard and good metal design.

What do you guys think, Is it a worthy upgrade?

My answer is no, because of the lower ram and same processor and display resolution.
[HTC One Mini] romy134:
I have the 1st gen mini, and I would be very tempted for the camera and sd card, but yeah 1gb of ram is getting really sucky for me
[HTC One Mini] TheEndHK:
It looks like One Mini 2 shared the same camera with Desire 816. No, it doesn't better than One Mini 1 because it only got f/2.2 and no Imagechip.
[HTC One Mini] circuit1:
Does HTC M8 have image chip?
[HTC One Mini] leungalv:
Guess it's not much of an upgrade ... though the first gen only has 1GB of RAM too ...

The gen2 is quad core, instead of dual though.
[HTC One Mini] xXminiWHOOPERxX:
One mini 2 would be a nice phone if they gave it 1.5gb of ram at least...
[HTC One Mini] TheEndHK:
M7, M8, One Max, One Mini 1, Butterfly S .... five devices got ImageChip 2.0

The previous generation of One Mini 1 is One S(which is also metal body), it also got ImageChip1.0 ... so, One Mini 2 probably is a downgrade, not upgrade though. lol ... stupid HTC marketing again, they always do it.
[HTC One Mini] PuffDaddy_d:
I'd switch back to my HTC One S before I'd "upgrade" to the Mini 2 (which they should've just called the NEW One Mini)

Mainly because the screen size is getting so large now. It's nearly the same size as the original HTC One!
[HTC One Mini] circuit1:
I have the HTC One S too and to be honest I like its design, 4.3 inch screen and phone is so slim, that it blows all new phones + Snapdragon 8960 of One S is not too slow compared to Snapdragon 400 of HTC One Mini and Mini 2. The 8mp is much better than the 4UP but 13mp of mini 2 will do better then this of course.
[HTC One Mini] xXminiWHOOPERxX:
If anyone from here goes to that phone and wants me to support it to when released then all I need is donations
[HTC One Mini] TheEndHK:
So you decided to go for One Mini 2? Actually, M8 Ace(4.7" FHD, 2G ram) is almost out and it looks like will use the 13M cam too.

---------- Post added at 05:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 AM ----------

It's pleasure to meet so many One S users here.... lol .... a bit off-topic. :laugh: It's hard to say which camera is better for now, One S got f/2.0 with Imagechip and we have perfect camera quality mod on xda for this phone. yup, it's so slim and cool, still blow out almost all new med to low-end new phones after two years.

Desire 816 and One Mini 2 both shared the same camera.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Russell_:
My situation is similar to the OPs situation. So I thought I'd piggy back on his thread. Here's my situation:

First a little background.

I have a model SPH-L710. Some time back I rooted the phone using the instructions at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2596697. To briefly summarize I did the following.

1) Installed the Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones on my Windows XP PC.

2) Downloaded the bundle mentioned in the previously mentioned forum post and extracted the .rar into "Sprint SIII root package" folder.

3) Enabled usb debugging, connected my phone to my computer, went to "Sprint SIII root package" and copied DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1.0.zip and UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip to the root of my "SDCard".

4) Went into download mode (the screen said "Downloading ..."), connected the phone back to the computer. Went into the "Sprint SIII root package"/Odin307 folder and ran Odin 3.07 to install a custom recovery philz_touch_6.00.8-d2spr.tar.md5 which was in the Sprint SIII root package folder.

5) Then used the custom recovery to install DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1.0 and then

UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93. Also, went to the app store and installed SuperSU and AFWall+.

Why did I do all this besides the thrill / joy of doing this? I'm on a pay-as-you go Sprint MVNO plan and wanted to keep my data costs low. With AFWall I've been able to control mobile data and am very pleased with what I pay.

Now my questions:

I got notified that KitKat was downloaded to my phone. It asked if I wanted to install. I said yes. It rebooted into the custom recovery and Philz once again asked whether I wanted to install. At that point I said no and thought I'd hold off. Why? I've got a perfectly good working phone and I want to be sure I have a perfectly good working phone after this.

Q1. Will the KitKat automatically downloaded to my phone be even installable by Philz? The reason I described all the above steps is so you know the state my phone is in (other than apps). As described above, I have a custom recovery and have run DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1.0 and UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93. I have yet to venture into loading custom ROMs. To ask my question another way ... since I'm not completely stock is using Philz to upgrade to KitKat using was what was downloaded the appropriate path.

Q2. If the answer to 2 is "No, you can't use Philz and the "ota" downloaded KitKat to upgrade, what would have happened if I had agreed to Philz loading what was downloaded?

Thanks for reading so far and I do appreciate your responses. And, yes, I did spend a couple of hours browsing this forum and all the comments about hard bricking resulted in the abvoe post.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lvpre:
Since you used that link, you probably have a custom recovery like CWM, TWRP, or Philz. You will have to ODIN to 4.4. Go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2750846

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sanerunr:
Thanks for the reply. I understand this method, but won't this remove all my apps and data? What is the best way to keep my current apps and data and then restore them after following the steps above? (Titanium backup of apps+data into update.zip and flash .zip after ND8 install?)

Thanks for everyone's help on this forum!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lvpre:
You'll lose your internal on Odin. Sometimes backing up apps and data causes issues. Titanium should save to your external and you could just do a batch restore. Make a nandroid first though. You can still restore it later.

Answer 10A.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Russell_:
I don't believe I'm DeOdexed. I'm a relative noob which is the reason my post (#2 in this thread) is so detailed - I hoped to describe exactly what I did to get my phone to get to it's current state. I don't have a custom ROM, just a custom recovery and then installed DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1.0 and UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93. So I should still be on the stock ROM (except for the changes mentioned). Yes, I did start by reading the thread you mention and read the first two posts Q & A multiple times, but I'm sorry to say I don't have the technical background / knowledge to understand it. As I said in #2, I needed to root because I'm on a pay as you go plan and needed to control my data usage and the instructions to root were simple to follow. I'm now struggling to determine what to do to move forward to KitKat and that very post that you pointed me to had so many scary (to me) warnings about bricking that it led to my post #2. So do pardon this noob asking the obvious.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You could probably just flash the stock recovery (I'd have to go looking for it) and unroot and then the OTA *should* be painless.

First, I'd still make a backup of everything using Titanium Backup for your user apps, and user apps' data only, and backup everything on your internal "SD" (the 13GB, really 16GB one).

In your About Device menu, what's your build #?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Russell_:
So if I flashed the stock kernel even though I have the Philz recovery it'll do the OTA upgrade without a problem? As I mentioned in #2, if I tell it to do the OTA upgrade it reboots into Philz which asks me whether I want to install ... One thing that's not clear to me is whether the OTA upgrade also affects the "recovery" partition. In other words if I say yes to Philz will it also zap Philz so I'll be completely stock? Also, I'm reading your response to mean because I ran DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1.0 and then

UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93 my kernel is no longer stock and so Philz will not be able to successfully install the OTA upgrade. Correct? I think one thing which confused me with the other thread (which you did an excellent job collecting the answers for) is ODINing vs flashing - but I don't want to digress into that.

As described in #2, I did use ODIN before and I should be able to use it again to ODIN the stock KitKat tar. That appears to be the way for me to go without causing extra work for others (like your offer to find the stock kernel). I guess I'm looking for confirmation that I've interpreted all this correctly.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Sorry, I meant stock Recovery, not Kernel. I had changed my post almost immediately but I didn't realize you had already started responding. :)

But yes, Odining the stock ND8 tar would be great. Just whatever you do after, never, ever use Odin to flash anything but ND8 or a custom recovery again. If you Odined, for example, the stock MK3 tar after, your phone would be hard bricked. You can Odin a custom recovery whenever you want, and you can flash (from your custom recovery) an MK3 or any other stock or non-stock ROM at any time. Sorry if I already said but Odining the stock ND8 tar will wipe everything but your external SD card, so back everything else up you want to save from the internal SD and your apps and apps' data.

I probably did say that before but I'm typing this on my laptop using the TapaTalk for Windows 8 app while my wife is driving us a few hours away for our latest niece's first birthday, connected to my phone using it as a mobile hotspot. WOOT!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Russell_:
Thanks for the cool (your setup) mobile response!

Ok. I'll go for it (hopefully when I have more time tomorrow). Based on your earlier links http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2741413 appears the place to get the ND8 stock tar. Since I want to be rooted it looks like there are stock rooted versions too with all the needed links in the first post. So it would make more sense to use one of the rooted tars. However, I need to "rtfm" in the sense go through the 50+ pages of that thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Actually, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2738533 is where you get the stock tar. The link you linked to, has a link to this in the first post, if that makes sense. :D

You MUST Odin the stock ND8 tar from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2738533 first.

Then Odin the latest Philz custom recovery.

Then you can flash either the Odexed or DeOdexed ROMs that you linked to at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2741413.

From there it should be Situation Normal, but not AFU.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Russell_:
I saw your message after reading about 60+ pages of 2741413. So I completed the rest of 2741413 and started reading 2738533 at which point I ran out of patience and ODINed the stock tar from the location you mentioned late last night. There were some scary (to a noob) moments like when it hung on "Just a sec" for 20+ minutes. Finally, I pressed the power button and one of the options was to restart ... went through that a couple of time and all was well. At that point I had enough for the night :).

The next step, as you've listed, is to Odin Philz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Russell_:
Ok. I now have Odined the stock ND8 tar and the latest Philz Touch (6.41.6). As I got into the custom recovery to confirm that it was indeed in place and got Philz to do a back up (2375.07Mb). I'm next going to copy that to my PC.

If you recall (please see post #2), I started down this path to root my phone to control data access (and costs) on a paygo prepaid plan. When I first posted all I wanted was root access on KitKat. I can do what I did in post #2 to get root (as opposed to flashing one of the ROMs you mention). Now that I've read lots of posts I realize that there are ways to not use the power button and a way to get back the missing "Mobile data" button in the notification bar. The latter is very important to me in my paygo use and I wouldn't mind the former (power button) too considering how much I use the power button. What's not clear to me is if I get this functionality via "apps" or "mods" (or are they the same thing) and whether I can get them irrespective of whether I flash SuperSU (like in post #2) or flash one of the ROMs you meniton. Thoughts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Probably the easiest for you would be to flash, from Philz, Wicked v6.0, or if you wait a day or two, maybe he'll have 6.1 out by then. That will kill a few birds with one stone, although you'd still have to install the Xposed Module called Double Tap to Sleep to enable being able to lock your phone by double tapping anywhere in the status bar.

It will already have the mod enabled for the Mobile Data toggle like you want. And, if course, it will be already rooted.

All these things can be acquired without flashing a custom ROM, as long your rooted, but you can still go that route later if your comfortable with it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Russell_:
I ended up flashing (using Philz) the same SuperSU (1.93) that I had from when I rooted at 4.3 (details in post #2). Then, went to the play store to get SuperSU; invoked it. Then installed RootChecker and it confirmed I was rooted.

This has been fun. I'd like to try another ROM and will look into Wicked - I'm not going anywhere over the upcoming holiday weekend. But first I need to learn about backing up and restoring apps and settings (Titanium?) as don't want to start from scratch each time I try a ROM. There probably are "best practices" which folks who try ROMs follow and I need to find and understand those. And, figure how to remove all the Sprint and Samsung stuff since I'm on a Sprint MVNO - I guess if I try a different ROM that'll be moot, but I'm still curious.

Got Titanium installed. Got CNexus's Mobile Data toggle button installed from http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407593098. I believe now I'm at 4.4 pretty much where I was with 4.3 and a heck of a lot more knowledgeable thanks to the good folks in these forum and especially [MENTION=2560614]roirraW "edor" ehT[/MENTION].

I also didn't realize the Development section was for noobs like me, but that's where I see all the ROMs and other goodies so I have plenty to explore. I'm now wondering if I should attempt to debloat or just go for a custom rom (not before the long weekend, though, as I have a day job) - the latter seems more attractive. However, I really like the Swype keyboard that comes with the stock ROM - will any of the custom ROMs using the TW source base have Swype? I guess I'm too cheap to buy it considering it came with my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome for the advice. As far as Swype, no, not every one will necessarily have the Swype keyboard - it just depends on what the ROM developer wanted to do. I don't know if Wicked 6.2 comes with it or not, but you can ask [MENTION=4310299]bilgerryan[/MENTION].

Personally, after a lot of experience trying this and that swype-type keyboard, I love SwiftKey - nothing beats it IMHO. It predicts much better than any other and learns from your previous typing. Also, the beta version now has a separate number row above the letters, and color emojis.
