[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snaqejack:
Hello, im currently using [NUT]´s .757 firmware, rooted and it works like a charm.

I´ve downloaded Xposed & GravityBox[KK] so i atleast have the lockscreen, but i can´t by any means customize it by adding userdefined apps to the unlock ring.

Does anyone have a solution for me?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grievous2004:
You have to disable the xperia lockscreen.

Just go to /system/app and rename XperiaLockScreen.apk to XperiaLockScreen.apk.bak then reboot.

If you want it back just remove the .bak extension.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snaqejack:
Yeah I know how I can enable the lockscreen, my problem is that I can't edit the unlock ring targets.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkeye680:
Getting a replacement device today because mine will randomly drop 4G and revert to 3G in strong signal areas and will only come back when I put it in airplane mode and back out again. Swapped SIMs, reset to stock, even allowed the latest update with no change.

The replacement device arrives today. My phone before was rooted with Kingo, but I only used root for tethering and minor customization using Wanam, Nova, etc. No special ROMs or anything. In reading the forums it looks like accepting the KK update is NOT the way to go.

Looking at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2727876, I think this is the route I want to take.Since I haven't done a whole lot since my OG Droid days besides point and click rooting solutions, if I mess something up do I always have the option of restoring my phone to stock using Kies like I did to revert to stock for my original phone's trip back to Verizon?

Thanks all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xproplayer:
I work for Verizon Wireless Tech Support, YOU NEED TO UNROOT AND FLASH STOCK EVERYTHING ON THE PHONE. Literally no joke, if our returns center detects even the HINT of root / non stock they WILL charge you $299 and it CAN NOT BE REVERSED, not by a supervisor, not by returning the phone, not by talking to samsung, nothing will have that removed. Just flash the phone completely stock, as for your new one that will depend on what OS it comes pre loaded with.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkeye680:
I did. Used Kies and restored my original phone to the stock image.

Can I always do this with this model phone? If I have a problem with rooting?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xproplayer:
Do what? Root or unroot?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkeye680:
Use Kies to restore to factory. Unrooted.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeftyGR:
Probably. If not, use odin.

[Samsung Gear 2] mitchellvii:
I so want to get a Gear 2 but the one thing holding me back is the lack of Google Now functionality. S voice is just so weak and limited by comparison.

If there any way to get Google Now working seamlessly on a Gear 2 just as on Android Wear? Will it be possible to port Android Wear to the Gear 2?
[Samsung Gear 2] diamantericos:
You are informed that there is nothing Google about gear 2 its running tizen Samsung os. Also even the original galaxy gear only got Google now after root. And needed to tether internet from phone to be anyway useful. Plus killed your battery fast . So your reason for not getting gear 2 makes no sense .
[Samsung Gear 2] mitchellvii:
My reason for not getting Gear 2 makes no sense? Um, are you trying to be ironic or are you actually making a serious statement?

The fact Gear 2 does not make Google Now available is a DEAL KILLER in the extreme and as such makes PERFECT sense. S-Voice is slow, inaccurate and constantly sends you back to your phone for anything but the most basic information - thus eliminating the entire benefit of the smart watch. So, um yeah, it's a problem. And yeah, it makes sense to reject the Gear 2 for this reason.

Samsung has a history of shooting itself in the foot by forcing poor proprietary software on us (S-Note anyone?). Looks like they are doing it again here with Tizen.

My prediction? When the Android Wear products are released, Tizen will evaporate from the scene and even Samsung will release Android Wear Gear. Why would ANYONE buy a Tizen watch when they could have Android Wear?

[Samsung Gear 2] Qwallace70129:
It's so funny to hear ppl praise Android Wear when they haven't seen so much as a real working demo. Do you even know what it is? It's a notification system. Exactly what the gear is. Other than that you probably won't be able to make phone calls. What is the big fuss with android wear anyway? What will it do that my gear2 doesn't already do?
[Samsung Gear 2] pipboy3001:
Android wear not seen?

The moto 360 is running android wear so yes we have seen a working "demo". But it too is somewhat limited compared to running it on your phone. Only responds to play music, not specific artists or songs and plays anything at random. It really only uses Google now and is pretty much useless otherwise unless you're into the fitness thing. I get more use out of my gear 2 but also am dissapointed in the lack of functionality of s voice as compared to using the phone. It'd be nice to be able to voice post a Facebook status but the watch doesn't support it, only the phone will

For those that have a BL unlocked Razr HD (XT926) that they have upgraded to KitKat and rooted, Topsnake's solution for restoring wifi tethering on the Droid Ultra/Maxx also works on the HD/HD Maxx.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2578410

Just follow the directions and all will be good.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacGyverHatesGuns:
It works however...

Droid RAZR HD MAXX

- unlocked

- Updated to stock kitkat (OTA)

- Rooted

- wifi hack through root explorer done as instructed.

so while it works, the speeds are super slow compared to when i tethered on jellybean with the entitlement hack.

1.55 Mbps down?

any suggestions?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacGyverHatesGuns:
also, i was using the stock verizion hotspot app.

do you use something different?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeh8020:
For those with the XT926 or possibly other models that are sure they followed the instructions correctly but it still doesn't work, try the following because it worked for me.

1. Download and install "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot Free" by CORE TECHNOLOGY from Play Store. Probably any other one will work but this is what I used.

2. Open the new app and Change the Network SSID to anything other than the default and then set a password.

3. Turn on tethering from your new hotspot app which will just turn on your native hotspot with the new settings you entered in step 2.

4. Once you have your native app working with the new settings you can uninstall the new app and your native hotspot will still work.

Good Luck.

Tether Hack

This worked!?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Do you have limited data (2gb/month, 4gb/month, etc) and not unlimited? If so, that's why. Tethering is free for those who don't have unlimited data. The FCC came down with a ruling that says providers cannot charge extra for that since the 4g signal is a class C signal (or something like that).

But, apparently, they can still charge extra for it if you have unlimited data. So, I think it actually applies to those who have the family data-share plan that get it for free.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Watch dog:
Thanks!

This was great, but I would change his instructions a little to make it slightly more clear. I reposted them here, with my comments in [brackets]...

1. Download Root Explorer by Jrummy in the Play store. [I used SD Maid w/root]

2. Download VZWEntitlementService.apk below on your Maxx/Ultra.

3. Go into Root Explorer [SD Maid w/root] and find System folder, find priv-app, inside priv-app long press VZWEntitlementService.apk and VZWEntitlementService.odex rename to VZWEntitlementService.apk.bak and VZWEntitlementService.odex.bak and back out to first folder [go to the folder you downloaded the new "VZWEntitlementService.apk"].

4. Go to sdcard folder, download [it was already downloaded in step 2] and find VZWEntitlementService.apk that you downloaded from step 2 copy it and back out to the home folder enter the system folder and then the app folder and paste it [he means to find the system folder and then the app folder in the system folder, NOT the priv-app folder].

5. Long press on the file [the new "VZWEntitlementService.apk"] and hit permissions in the menu. change permissions Owner: Read/Write, Group:Read, Others: Read (should show rw-r--r--)

6. Exit out of root explorer [SD Maid w/root] and try to enable your native hotspot. It may force close or just check the box with no action like mine [mine just turned on, too].

7. Go back to root explorer [SD Maid w/root] and move the [new] VZWEntitlementService.apk that you put in the system folder to the priv-app folder.

8. Check the tether it should work. [I had used FoxFi w/o root for my tether app before the kitkat update. The settings under it such as the password and ssid stays the same, but I no longer enable the tether by using FoxFi. I tap on the mobile hotspot box under the "settings---more---Tethering & Hotspot-Mobile Hotspot---Mobile Hotspot"].

build.prop problems

I tried this method on my BL unlocked and rooted XT926 running 4.4.2 KK, and while it worked, some functionality seemed to be lost as a result. For example, my voice commands no longer work when pressing the microphone. It says it can't connect to Google. As soon as I went back to the old build.prop, things go back to normal (without tethering of course).

In comparing the build.prop files there are several differences. Can anyone point out the part that needs to be modified to get the native tethering to work? I'd like to use my original build.prop and make the mods to it.

[Acer Iconia A500] alextsaurus:
My problem is that my Acer A500 turns on like it should and starts to boot up but once it gets to the Acer logo screen, that's the furthest you'll get. I've been looking for a solution for the past 6 hours or so and either a) what the thread says to do to resolve the problem doesn't work or b) even though there were links to the files I need to fix it, all of the Ice Cream Sandwich UPDATE.ZIP files no longer have working links/URLs so downloading the firmware has been next to impossible.

Does anyone know where I can find the ICS update ROMs for my tablet and a guide to fixing this problem?

Anyone have any idea as to an alternative method to fix the issue, in case I'm still running into the same problem?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Do u have the cpuid of the tab...See the guide in my Sig on how to retrieve it. If u can get it then it's a lot easier to repair yr tab. If you cannot retrieve the cpuid u could try the update.zip in the root guide which is also in my Sig. However if the update.zip will not get u booting then you'll need the cpuid using the Linux retrieval method.
[Acer Iconia A500] alextsaurus:
Again the issue I'm having is that all of the files it says to download have links that no longer work. If anyone knows of any sites with working links to what I need to obtain the CPUID , I'd greatly appreciate if you'd post them for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Last time I checked all links were working in my root guide, pls let me know if this isn't the case
[Acer Iconia A500] alextsaurus:
I found a link in the guide that I hadn't tried yet. If any of the links are dead, I'll be sure to let you know.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johannski:
Hey everybody,

I want to get rid of a bit of Google's stuff. I installed CyanogenMod on my phone (Sony Xperia Go, but I guess that's not too important) and afterwards GAPS. This changed the launcher to the google now launcher. I decided to just delete it, which got me in trouble, the wasn't able to boot anymore. This makes sense, due to the fact, that it was my launcher, I didn't think much about what could happen, when I deleted it.

So here is my question. I started fresh, and installed GAPS once again. This time I also installed ADW.Launcher and set it up as my default launcher (See attachment). Is it now save for me, to remove Google Now Launcher, or does it do something else, which is critical for running my OS?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
You'll be fine to remove. I actually don't know why it wouldn't boot when you removed it the first time. Your phone can certainly run without a launcher (just makes it really difficult to get around lol).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arucarde:
Since you already selected ADW as default probably it will boot just as usual, so yeah I think it´s safe. At least I have done the same in the past xD
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnkotnis:
No problem. If you have ADW set as default, you can safely uninstall Google Now Launcher. After reboot phone will successfully boot to ADW Launcher's Home.

Press Thanks if helped.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johannski:
It worked

Thanks a lot, it worked without problems :) For any other person, who wants to do that, it is also save to remove the google search, if an other launcher is installed (I think back then, I removed the google search app, which had the launcher included).

[General Questions and Answers] nomnompie:
Hi all..

I'm just kind of taking a shot in the dark here but I've been having an odd problem that has very specific conditions, so here goes..

I am on Aio wireless using a Samsung i9500 with Kitkat. Most of my family are all on StraightTalk wireless.

The problem I have is that my 2 favorite SMS apps seem to somehow have issues getting StraightTalk to download MMS messages I send.

My family members using StraightTalk are able to send MMS messages to me regardless of which texting app they or I use, however, they do not receive my MMS messages if I use the app Textra, or HoverChat to send the MMS. I do not get a failure to send message, the recipients phone just acts as if I have not sent them anything. The thing is, these same 2 apps can send MMS to Verizon customers perfectly fine (I have tested with 2 friends). I know it has to be a problem with these apps as the very same recipients DO get my MMS from the following other apps:

GoSMS

Handcent

Chomp

EvolveSMS

Hello SMS

Sliding SMS

and the default messaging app that came on my phone.

My problem is this.. I have emailed the developers of both apps and tried to explain this but they can't seem to see that there is a problem. (the Textra app dev got me to send a log and the log showed my MMS successfully sending to Aio's MMSC) What I am wondering is, is there anyone else that has Aio wireless and knows someone using StraightTalk that can see if the same issue happens to you? Or does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be and how I can better explain to the developers of these 2 apps so that they may be able to find and fix the issue? I have no idea why StraightTalk would reject an MMS ONLY from a specific app and carrier combination but it is absolutely maddening.

Could these 2 apps be appending some sort of tag or invalid data on the MMS that causes StraightTalk to ignore it and never send the download request to the recipient?

Any help would be appreciated.

This process got you S-Off on 1.56?? My replacement One has 1.56 and I've been waiting for a confirmed method to S-Off...
[One (M7) General] shinji257:
Yup. It took several tries but eventually it took taking the tampered flag with it. Don't be discouraged if it fails the first time. Reboot and try again. I'll add that I was 100% stock with HTC-Dev unlock. Newer OS release too (based on version numbers). I had to do it on 1.56 because I updated to KitKat on day one and didn't think I would be doing S-OFF.

Proof attached.
[One (M7) General] Mathman85:
No such luck here. HBOOT 1.56 and 4.4.2 (T-Mo), Firewater explicitly states "whelp, this sucks, firewater can not work on your device no amount of reflashing, retrying, or ruuing will fix..." :(

Guess I just have to wait for an update.
[One (M7) General] SynnyG:
This guide is for hboot 1.55 but with luck I think you can do it, like the other user has showed.

Nice, however I don't know why the tampered flag has gone away with the S-off method :confused:

To be honest I don't know either. I went back to do it and the flag was gone and I know it was definitely there before I started due to using HTC-Dev unlock.
