[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atown77:
I was running DynamicKat 2.1 and somehow lost SS recovery reboot. In the process of trying to restore it I wiped my phone and had to revert back to MJ5. It is up and running fine but I can't get it to root. I have been to this point a few times but the rldv.zip method from, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2559715 , I used before isn't working or Klingo Root, which I also used the first time I rooted my Note 3 isn't detecting phone. I just did this a few days ago to get root but for some reason now it isn't working. I need to get root back so I can boot into SS and get back to DynamicKat. Any tips or advice on something i am possibly overlooking this time would be great. Thanks in advance.

:confused:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Face_Plant:
Try deleting your current USB drivers, plug in your phone, let Windows reinstall them, and try again. This always worked for me after reverting to MJ5 and Kingo wasn't detecting my phone.

When I was growing up my dad always wore a wrist watch. On the few occasions he ever took it off, it looked like he was still wearing something around his wrist due to the absense of the massive tan he got from working outside.

I think a wrist phone is a great idea, but wouldn't buy one unless it could actually function as a phone. I personally hate wrist watches, but would start to like them if I could remove the phone from my pocket, and I'm sure a lot of others would too.
[Wear OS General] JimSmith94:
Ha, I just got my Gear 2 and started wearing it when I take my daily walk. The first thing I thought of was that this was going to mess up my tan. ;)

[Wear OS General] mugenbatteriesOwner:
Don't Think It Is Possible

I don't think this would be possible. With the moving parts and displays on the watch, it would be impossible for it to be tan through. But it is a great idea!
[Wear OS General] black_k18:
I too think that is a good idea.
[Wear OS General] Ziago:
Honestly I do not recommend you to use the smartwatch under the scorching sun for too long, I think that the screen may be affected
[Wear OS General] Incognitum:
I don't understand so many things about this. You're right that this would be popular; I've read a lot of people making the same comment, but why?

A. Full Android watches with SIMs and everything have existed for years. If that's what you want why don't you have one already?

B. The whole point is to be able to to have a personal area network with a single control unit managing the experience across all of your contacted devices, not a series of independent devices each vying for your attention in a disjointed way. Think of the watch as an extension of your existing phone that you can access without having to pull the phone out of your pocket, enter your pin, find your app, and finally do an action. This also allows the watch to offload the heavy processing tasks to the powerful device you already have in your pocket 99% of the time. What good is having your phone, and a second, less powerful processor in your watch both running 100% of the operations in parallel?

Rather look pasty white than have skin damage, in the worst case skin cancer is not very attractive.
[Wear OS General] fuzzy7k:
The reason your logic isn't working is because you assume that people would still carry a second device. Not everybody wants a powerful device because not everybody plays games, or surfs the internet or other things that require a larger screen.

Another question similar to the one you are asking is, why would people buy a tablet when their phone can already do everything and more than it can do.

If there was a choice between a pocket phone with an optional wrist device, or a wrist phone with an optional reading device, a lot of people would go for the smaller, highly mobile wrist phone.

It wouldn't interfere with mobility and it would be readily available.

Something else that may be bogus, but would probably factor into some people's decisions is that it would distance the RF source from reproductive organs.
[Wear OS General] iamchard:
will it really be affected? i mean all the gears are out there... and there are to be worn and designed most of the time and probably under scorching sun?
[Wear OS General] stefanw1337:
I also thought this seemed like a good idea, Android on your wrist. So I bought a cheap one to see.

I got one from Chinavasion(can't posts links yet obviously). The one I got was the "3G Android Watch Phone 'FineWatch' - MTK6577 Dual Core 1GHz CPU, 2 Inch IPS Screen, 4GB ROM, 8GB Additional Memory" because it seemed to have be biggest screen and the best hardware of the no-name ones.

But the android version is horrible on the device, and I kinda wanna install a new one. Watch can't log on to my google account, due to it not understanding the 2-step vertification procedure. And it has no Google play, browser doesn't show any images when browing play.google.com etc. All-in-all horrible, is there a way to fix this by installing a more normal version of Android? Like without bricking it or using the old version?

Can someone point me in the right direction to make this watch the best I ever wore?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xdaradar:
this thread is about getting all sound to your bluetooth headset, even when it's not a formal wireless stereo device. Specific on helmi's newest wm5 rom, version 1.3

info at the start of this thread:

WM5 has A2DP incorporated which is ment to get more sound on your bt-headset than just phonecalls.

Helmi stated that this will only work for stereo bt-headsets and when using apps that have stereo support, probably not helmi's choice but the way WM5/A2DP is designed.

vjaj555 stated that his vjvolubilis tool should work to get all sound on your bt-headset on wm5 if your rom uses the m$ bt-stack, but also vjaj555 has limited time/resources so don't blame him for not testing all ROM's that we have. Helmi's 1.3 ROM uses the m$ bt-stack, but vjvolubilis doesn't work properly. You do get noise in your ear with the AGON function, but apps will still send sound to the pda-speaker.

on tuma's 1.3 rom vjvolubilis worked for me.

I see two options i'd like to try out:

1. fake the system through registry tweeking and make my bt-headset look like if it was stereo.

2. find out the differences between helmi's and tuma's bt-stack

:?: Can anybody with a stereo bt-headset please send me the device registry settings :?:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xdaradar:
tweeking registry

what I managed so far is linking the wireless stereo service to my jabra 250v bt-headset.

settings->connections->bluetooth->devices. tap&hold 'jabra 250v' ->edit. shows the 'hands free' service and 'wireless stereo' service.

the wireless stereo is there since the tweeking.

settings->connections->bluetooth->devices. tap&hold 'jabra 250v' shows ' set as wireless stereo' still gray so not selectable. this i'm still trying to figure out.

what did I do with PHM-regeditor:

find 'jabra 250v'

it's a name under HKLM/software/microsoft/bluetooth/device/xxxxxxxxx (xxxxx=hexnumber)

xxxxxxxxx/services/ had one service 0000111e-yyyyyyy and in there a name Handsfree

HKLM/software/microsoft/bluetooth/services/ has multiple services, also the 0000111e-yyyyyyy. in there a link to a dll

HKLM/software/microsoft/bluetooth/services/ also has the wireless stereo service 0000111B-yyyyyyy.

so I added this second service to the device key HKLM/software/microsoft/bluetooth/device/xxxxxxxxx where my jabra was.

I attached the regkey, but be aware that it's bt-device specific and it just a step, not the solution yet.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asem.arafa:
Hello

i generated a tzdata file with the new 2014c timezone file from IANA to reflect a change in my country DST

i pushed the file to /system/usr/share/zoneinfo and changed the permisions to 644 and rebooted , and the time change wasnt reflected

what i noticed after reboot is that time is changed only for normal user not root

shell@t03g:/ $ date
Fri May 16 15:07:35 EEST 2014
shell@t03g:/ $ su
root@t03g:/ # date
Fri May 16 14:07:48 EET 2014

any idea of what may i have missed?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prince93:
Can you please share with us the tzdata file you generated?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asem.arafa:
Here it is
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prince93:
Thanks alot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asem.arafa:
please confirm it works , as the change is not reflected as i said in the first post :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prince93:
Unfortunately not working..

I copied the tzdata file to /system/use/share/zoneinfo and changed the permissions to be even read,write &execute for owner,group and other and rebooted but not working

On android 4.4.2

How did you compile this file?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asem.arafa:
well i followed this outdated post

i got the ZoneCompactor.java file from here instead as the one in the post only works for pre 4.3 android

i attached my working directory including with the edits i made to the script in the outdated post
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prince93:
Well, I was trying to do the same as you did but using the zonecompactor & the python script in the link you attached but I got an error telling me could not find bionic library or so.

So, you used the old generator script with some modifications.

It seems the file is correct (an app called timezone fix that was also attached in the outdated post referred to can read the file as 2014c). No idea what the problem may be.

Maybe we need to uncheck the automatic date and time and reboot?

I unchecked without a reboot but nothing happened .
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asem.arafa:
i downloaded a new BufferIterator.java and ZoneCompactor.java and ZoneInfo.java to be compatable with 4.3 and used the generate script from the old post

now i used the timezone file with a phone with cyanogenmod 11 and it worked !!

whats the output of the date command from the shell?

normal and root
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prince93:
I tried the date command for normal and root users and both are wrong (no DST applied) with the file you provided earlier.

The one you tried on the CM11 is a different one than the one you shared with us earlier?

For CM11, it should be the same as stock 4.4.2.

Strange that it didn't work on my N4!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asem.arafa:
I finally found the root cause

it was Xposed framework !!

disabling it solved the issue

i will try to check for a workaround as i use too many modules
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prince93:
Are you sure?

I just uninstalled the framework and rebooted but it is still the same!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asem.arafa:
yes made sure multiple times and even tried to narrow down to a certain module but the time is not fixed until i completely uninstalled the framework

try after uninstallation to use the timezone fixer tool, the dev upgraded his version to have 2014c
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prince93:
Yes I already updated the time zone fixer tool and the fixer reads the database version as 2014c.

I uninstalled the framework but left the xposed installer, I think that doesn't make a difference..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asem.arafa:
check if you have the tzdata file also under this path /data/misc/zoneinfo and change it

that solved the root user issue for me
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prince93:
Great!

Worked at last

Thanks alot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prince93:
Right now after replacing the file under /misc, I am still getting the times in what's app for example and the dialer log showing the old time (the non DST time)

Are you getting the same results ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asem.arafa:
the time is completely correct now after replacing the file in both locations

Can you give me the permissions of both files and the output of the date command for both users?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prince93:
Permissions :

RW for owner (root)

Read only for group and other

Here is the date command for both users

u0_a201@mako:/ $ date

Sat May 24 14:06:18 EEST 2014

A question for understanding forums selection:

For me is "Original Android Development" that the ROM based on Stock ROM from Device, for example : HTC M8 with Sense6 is stock and original and HTC without Sense6 like CM is Android Development

Is this right or give me please another explanation!?

Thx in advance
[One (M8) General] BenPope:
No, you have it reversed. Also kernels, recoveries and stuff tends to go into original. This should be mentioned in a sticky in one or both of these subforums.

The wording is bad, the distinction arbitrary, and all over it's a terrible idea.
[One (M8) General] Stephen:
This has been brought up a few times.

Original Android development can have both sense roms and non sense roms eg CM, recoveries and kernels. The difference is the OP of the ROM has had to have made a large contribution to make the rom, recovery or kernel different to anything else of its type. This means that there has to be a large number of features that are unique to that rom and not offered in other roms.

Also any builds that go into OAD forums should be official builds by official maintainers as well. All non official builds should be in AD forum.

This would apply to kernels recoveries etc as well.

Edit here is the link to the main page that says what can go in to OAD and what cant: Introducing Original Development Forums for More Devices

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naddict:
XDA is a development site not a support site. As the term "Best" or "Most Stable" is a very subjective term, such members are expected to do their own research, read through the development threads, and decide what is "Best/Most Stable" for them.

The only results that would be posted here are what each member has found to be "Best" or "Most Stable" for them by experimentation based on their phone/usage/setup/apps/signal strength. And at times, these thread spiral into arguments over which is perceived "Best/Most Stable".

Please take the time to read through the device specific development threads, and interact with the members there, to learn all about the software or ROMs that are available to make your own decisions.

As these type thread become arguments and are subjective, this one too shall be closed. Plenty of other places to garner or derive information on this topic already.

Hey guys!

My name is Tobias Gawrisch and I'm a student of social science / sociology at Ruhr-University Bochum in Germany. I'm now starting with my master thesis and for that I want to do some research about what motivates programmers to work on open source software and other free software projects. Most people studying economics will say that money is the driving motivator in our economy but I think that especially the open source community is a fine example of people being motivated to work without the prospect of earning a lot of money with their work. This hypothesis is the basis for a short Web Survey in order to get some first hand data about the reason why programmers are "working for free". It will take about 10 min. max. and is, of course, completely anonymous. And I'll be glad to provide all my outcomes afterwards.

I would really appreciate your help in this matter, this would boost my master thesis a lot!
