[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuuuuuuuu:
Yes, AMOLED screens gradually change in colour and brightness unevenly.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jyler660:
Ah i see. So its a normal thing? Like my phone is "ageing"?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuuuuuuuu:
Yeah, it's an unavoidable trait of (AM)OLED displays. The organic components deteriorate with use and result in colour shifts and burn-in.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstarxx:
Yeah. It deteriorates fast. I have used my s4 for a year, yet iam now starting to see burn ins. Huhuhuuu:thumbdown: should have bought an active rather than s4 hahaha
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Haven't even had my screen a year and its starting to deteriorate.

Its a shame because I love the pure black of AMOLED but the general technology is pretty rubbish for a flagship phone.

In my opinion you should get 2 years of life from a flagship phone before it starts to break.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenny_ken:
Hi guys!

I hope that I chose the right forum to ask my question: I installed this rom onto my Note 2 LTE N7105, but now I don't have wifi (as the text in the rom description says). Before I flashed the rom, I had installed Devils Rom (deodexed and deknoxed 4.3 stock) with the devils kernel (based on MK5). I thought that the bootloader will be kept, because I already installed a wifi hotfix for that bootloader.

Now I have the new 4.4 rom installed, it works fine - except for wifi. If I got this right (if not, correct me) - flashing the MJ5 bootloader will solve the problem and I won't have KNOX triggered (now I have a "MA5" bootloader). So I tried to flash the MJ5 bootloader with ODIN 3.09 but it keeps failing. The drivers are installed, I can access the download menu. My pc recognizes the phone as COM5, but when I load the bootloader and click on flash, almost instantly a red FAIL appears in the first block. The output says "writing NAND..." and then "FAILED".

Now I am a bit confused - does the MJ5 bootloader work with the Note 2 LTE or only the non- LTE version? Are there any other ways to get wifi to work? If there's now way around, I am willing to trigger my knox.

Thanks in advance, I hope you can help a very confused user :confused:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamFox:
Im having the same problems. odin is giving no love on updating the bootloader :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asin_punk:
Did you try to flash the kernel as stated in the installation instructions of the rom that your trying to install?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamFox:
I have the agni kernel as it is the only way to get the wifi to work without the bootloader, which im trying to get too. For the life of me i cannot figure out why odin doesnt want to flash the bootloader. mj5 or nd3 makes no difference. according to info app my boot loader version is N7105ZHALJ4. Do I need to step up 'slower'?

I want to go to any of those recent bootloaders so wifi will work normally. It seems slow on the agni kernel but at least it works.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asin_punk:
AFAIK you can't install Agni Kernel using Odin. Instead use your Custom Recovery to install that kernel, under "Install Zip from Storage" option of your custom recovery. HTH.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamFox:
To clear things up i have already got agni kernel installed via recovery. I just cant update my bootloader via odin.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anandsaurabh:
problem flashing mj5 bootloader and agni kernel too

i am on phoenix rom v18.8

cannot figure out if i am on mj5 bootloader

how to check my bootloader version?

secondly, i m trying to flash mj5 via odin but it says FAILED

Trying to flash agni kernel via odin and mobile odin,, it says success but when i check in my phone, nothing is done...

where am i going wrong?

pls help
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hazin99:
Agni kernel is only flashable via recovery not with odin.. Its a zip file.. U can flash it using CWM or Philz Or twrp recoveries
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anandsaurabh:
U r right hazin ... That file can be flashed only via recovery... But I m not able to flash it.. It goes into aroma installer, does its work and says done but does not show on settings... I e saved log file too of that process...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apuntigam:
So no answer on this question yet?? I'm also trying to flash the MJ5 bootloader using Odin, no luck though.

Can anyone explain why it keeps failing?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davids:
did you fix the problem ?

having the same thing now...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apuntigam:
No, I never managed to fix it. I think I found out in the end that there never was an MJ5 bootloader for the GT-N7105 (the international LTE version). There was only an MJ5 bootloader for the non-LTE version, the GT-N7100. And of course, that phone's bootloader will never work on the N7105.

So we're out of luck it appears :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davids:
so the phone is dead ?

noting to do to bring back wifi&BT ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apuntigam:
All of the new KitKat ROMs have fixes built in for that. Some of the Lollipop ROMs also fix this, so you don't really need that bootloader.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davids:
can you give me a link pls for somthing that works ?

i am Desperate a week with no wifi BT

THX
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apuntigam:
I'm on NamelessROM 5.0.2 at the moment, works fine for me. I'd probably recommend that one, battery life is also great. It's in the N7105 development forum. :good:

I was also on CM11 official, worked like a charm. There are a number of 4.4.4 ROMs in the N7105 development forum that were quite mature and worked well.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davids:
i have the 7100..

somthing for that device..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apuntigam:
Ok, then it's a completely different discussion... not sure why the bootloader would be failing in that case, since it was built for that device. You could try a different Odin? (Assuming of course that your are NOT trying to DOWNGRADE the bootloader... it's well known that you can't downgrade the bootloarder to MJ5 from something more recent).

Otherwise, I'm sure there are equally useful ROMs for the N7100 in the Note 2 Original Development forum.

But, since your device is probably pretty old and almost certainly out of warranty by now, I would seriously consider flashing the latest official Samsung ROM to get the latest bootloader and then flash whatever you want on top of that. Voiding the warranty is irrelevant if you're already out of warranty. But, I have heard that even with the latest bootloader some people still have trouble with wifi and BT. In that case all I can suggest is playing around with different ROMs until you find something that works for you. As I'm not a N7100 user I can't really offer more advice than that, sorry man.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ergauravpro:
Guys where I can find a REAL WORKING link to download mj5 or higher bootloader??

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:

Hello,

There are so many nice icon packs out there, but what I want is just a simple white icon pack (no shading, no mask). After searching the Play Store, DeviantArt, and XDA for hours, I found nothing that fits the bill.

I hope someone here can help me find one (which is still actively developed and lots of icons is also a plus) :)

And sorry if this is the wrong thread.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] GohanBurner:
For some reason, out of the blue, I cannot read/write//mount my internal storage. I installed an unofficial version of CarbonRom on my Verzion M8 and everything was PERFECT! I created a Nandroid Backup of the way I had my CarbonRom setup and installed CHECKM8's aosp kernel to see if it would boot. It did boot, but was crashing all over the place. So naturally I went back into recovery to just restore my backup and all my internal data was gone. I've tried many things and I haven't been able to get my data to mount again.

HELP! As my phone sits right now, its a brick.

Basically, how do I restore access/mountability of the /data?

I tried fastboot erase userdata but it can't mount the data to erase it.

Going to try flashing the stock RUU and see if that'll do it. Currently downloading.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K3VYNC:
Does AcDisplay drain battery on black background?

Why?

(LCD screen)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matmutant:
Yes (in Active display = always on) since on LCD that's the while background that has a backlight and not only non-black pixels (contrary to amoled)

Using AcDisplay app by [MENTION=3685328]AChep[/MENTION] doesn't drain if Active mode isn't enabled :)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K3VYNC:
Can u explain more about that backlight?

Thanks :D
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K3VYNC:
And how Active mode drains battery?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelegendofzeth:
Active Mode just stands there for turning on the screen with proximity sensor. When with Lockcreen Mode on, works like Moto X. I really do not have an big battery drain and used AcDisplay since it's first beta with Moto G.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K3VYNC:
So black wallpaper doesn't drain battery (?)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelegendofzeth:
AcDisplay itself doesn't drain battery THAT battery at all.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matmutant:
Active mode listens to device captors, so it may use some battery.

About LCD, you should search for extensive explanation about the technology and its pros/cons against Amoled :) (too long ton simply explain here) :)

In short :

LCD = 1 backlight (neon like cold cathode) for the whole screen (always ON even if a single pixel on the screen is not black)

Amoles= 1 led light per pixel (ON only if a pixel is not black, and OFF if it is black: only non black pixel uses juice)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K3VYNC:
So, it's the same thing for battery? (Black wallpaper and colorful wallpaper)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReOmbra:
the are many sites that explain the difference betwenn amoled to lcd

in all likelihood yes.

Only someone tell that if you use white screen in a lcd ips can save more energy beacuse the pixel consume less power. this because to change/obscure the color of the pixel need more energy an lcd screen.

howewer the saving is imperceptible .

Anyone have a working framework-res.apk from the 7.4.8 stock ROM that has wallpapers enabled? (I did try myself in the past but it resulted in a bootloop)

If so would you be able to upload it :good:

Thanks
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Odd, the latest version has a lot of safeties to prevent a bootloop. When was the version of my wallpaper fix that you used? Also you will need to know how to use adb if you plan on copying a already modified framework-res because if you copy and paste over it it could go wrong because of permissions sometimes not carrying over or the fact you would be replacing a system file that's in use.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EmptyArea:
Sir. You have to provide more specific information. Phone type, rom version before issue, rom version you tried to update to.

There are many possible causes and solutions. For the average user if you can't get kies to help then getting a warranty repair would be best. However, one simple solution which usually works is to. Flash a stock rom* in odin. Then, if it doesn't boot, go to recovery and wipe data / factory reset. If that doesn't work then you may want to research using a pit file

thankyou very much

[Shield General] ciphray:
Having purchased the nvidia shield back at launch, one of the main things that bothered me about it's design was the lack of a few buttons, namely a menu button and select button, instead we got a button that opened nvidia's tegra zone, something easily accessible from a launcher and a volume button which again wasn't something I needed to constantly access.

So i ended up editing some of the .kl files and using an xposed tweak called gravity box to tune things a bit

I changed the nvidia button to act as a menu button with the .kl files, and the volume button to act as a select button

with gravity box i changed the menu button's long press function to call up the power menu to restore that function to how the shield comes, and set the back button when long pressed to call up the volume control

also keep in mind if you don't use xposed with gravity box to tweak the keys after they've been changed you will have difficulty shutting down the shield properly as the nvidia button of course acts as the power button when held down longer, it of course still powers up the device either way, and will hard power the device off if held for several seconds, still setting up gravity box feels like the best way

now for the moga controller, while you can make it function in a usable state with tincore or game keyboard, and in fact those both still come in very handy for touch emulation, I didn't want to always have those apps running when i wanted standard button presses, when the controller would go to sleep it would take time to get re detected so i wanted a little more convenience, I think this also should make it work with the built in console mode touch emulation, though I haven't tested that

the HID mode on it would have the select button as a back button, and the shoulder buttons didn't seem to work unless an app specifically supported the controller

So i added a few .kl files for that as well, not sure which of the 3 gets called as they're all duplicates in function, but presumably the device ID one should be the default, but i added the other 2 in case it doesn't for some reason

these .kl files should be put in /system/usr/keylayout

root is required and obviously backup the files that get replaced for the shield, the moga ones should not have existing files and match the permissions to the other files that're in the folder

I've tested these moga files on an LG phone on 4.2.2 and the shield on 4.3

I've included a backup of the original files for 4.3 for the shield in the zip, but no idea if they'd be different under Kitkat though I don't see why they would be
[Shield General] psycho1200:
I supposed that ir just a copy paste and remplace the files for the ones on the zip right ?, thanks for the info i agree with you, i hate the tegra zone button, nice idea man
[Shield General] nex86:
what bothers me is that in some Gameloft Shooters like Nova 3 you aim and shoot with the bumpers instead triggers.

you think there is a way to change that without ****ing up other games?
[Shield General] ciphray:
yes replace the existing files for the shield, the permissions should stay the same, just make sure they match the other files in that folder

if you swap them via this method it would change it for all games, something like tincore or gamekeyboard would let you switch for just 1 game, as they have profiles
[Shield General] tridium:
Thanks!

Just wanted to say that I love having the select button useful in HID mode again, thank you so much as I had no idea how those layouts got set!
[Shield General] nex86:
tried. Tincore doesn't do such thing and gamekeyboard does not detect the analog triggers.
[Shield General] ciphray:
if you're refering to the moga controller

if you use the .kl files from here that will make gamekeyboard detect the analog triggers, the reason game keyboard doesn't see them is they get assigned a random generic axis each time if they're undefined in one of the kl files

tincore is tricky to get used to how to setup, and a number of it's addons need to be purchased

it sets 2 different buttons to the triggers, both analog and digital, i think one set comes up as buttondead and as gas brake, make sure you set both of them, the profiles also need to be created while the game is loaded in the background if you want it to auto load with that game, otherwise it'll remove the profile when the game starts if you have auto profile switching enabled
[Shield General] nex86:
No I was refering to the Shield Controller, not Moga.
[Shield General] delt31:
I have the same exact issue - want to use triggers instead of bumpers. Can someone here either explain how to map the triggers or just upload a profile that already does?
[Shield General] delt31:
So I got it to work.

open tincore then minimize,

open NOVA or MC and then volume start volume and select open TKM editor

then scroll all the way down and under L1 and L2 select disable on the drop down

for R2 and L2 select click button joy 0

Then press check button then name the new profile and you're good. Make sure the profile is activated in order for it to work.

Only catch was that I had to pay in order for the new functionality to work. 2.75 well worth it now that I can use triggers for zoom and shoot!
[Shield General] tridium:
Not recognizing the KL files after updating image

So I have a nexus 5 and was running the factory 4.4.2 image and these KL files worked great (the moga files). After updating to the new 4.4.3 image the device doesn't seem to load them. Anyone have any ideas? It's almost as though it doesn't know those files were put there, but I copied them over from a directory in the /sdcard with root explorer and updated the permissions just like I did originally.

Only oddities I can think of is that the OTA failed (I rooted but didn't flash the team win bootloader so OTA's could still work, update did work on my wifes rooted nexus 5) for me so I had to download the factory image and flashed the update without the -w flag so that it would keep my user partition.
[Shield General] tridium:
So after doing some more research it seems that the product code wasn't the same anymore. instead of 0dad it was 6271, so after renaming the vendor specific file to incorporate the correct product code, it worked again for me. I don't know enough about things to know why that would have changed, but before that rename it was just using the Generic.kl as it was before.

I got the code it wanted by adb shelling into the device and running a dumpsys input. One of the lines under the Moga had it's vendor and product code in it.
