I'm sure it's possible to port a couple things to make a sense rom, but you can just download a launcher for sense, or get a theme depending which rom you use. The rom im using had a built in sense them that worked great. That said, I dont think we should expect a sense based rom.

[General Questions and Answers] daveyglow:
Hi my name is David and it's been a little while since I've been on xda so if I deserve flaming please guide me to the right forum to ask these types of questions.. anyway so I recently got a job at a metro pcs verified dealer near my home and I'm considered the "tech guy" just unlocking phones and repairing screens and such. My question is about unlocking though. I can unlock most devices from doing so many over time but some I completely struggle with and turn toward YouTube or Google. And I was wondering how do other shops unlock devices so quickly and with ease? Seeing as I'm the only tech guy boss wants me to get better at unlocking phones but its not very simple android unlocks are somewhat easy, root and a few other steps and it's done. But say for instance a BlackBerry torch would need an unlock code. So my question is how do you guys think other shops do it?

Ps

I have looked into the octoplus box but can't really tell how legit it is

Thanks for the help guys
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] georgshah:
I'm relatively new to rooting and recovery.

I was on rooted 4.2.2, I took the ora and locked my bootloader like an idiot. But did manage to do the safestrap workaround and got myself up to a rooted rom of NC2. I'm finally back to a functional setup with accounts and apps where I want them. So I thought I'd do a back up in Twrp.

I deleted my old backup and the other twrp file in the directory. I tried but it failed. Gave the error...unable to mount /system.

Any tthoughts on how I could get a full backup of my system? Thanks in advance.

Install Safestrap 3.72 or flash the 4.3 kernel just to make a backup and then back to 4.4.2 kernel.

Looking for the same answer and couldnt find it so I played with terminal in safestrap AT&T i337 4.4.2 and found that you can work around in order to mount system. Go to advanced terminal select root then type mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 system rw and it works dont know yet if it allows me to fix installing to system but I did click filemanager to see if /system was mounted and it is!

EDIT: Not a fix still wont install to /system but it lets me edit files in the file manager

Dont ask me how I fixed but I did... just continue messing with it till it works

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChipStewart:
While in Kids Mode, my four-year old outsmarted the security software (not hard to do - kid's security sucks. I'm constantly finding him going where he shouldn't) and reformatted the SD card in his SM-T2105 . I managed to restore the files using PhotoRec, but it dumped the files into directories of like file types - i.e. .jpg's, .pdf's, .icn's etc. Would anyone be willing to share their SD card directory structure so I can recreate his as best as I can? I realize each one will be different, but it'll help. I promise to periodically backup the card from now on.

Also, I've found plenty of questions regarding how to move apps to the SD card, but so far have not found any solutions that work. I'm getting the message "Insufficient storage available" and he doesn't even have that many apps installed. He also has a 16G card that is mostly empty. The inability of the Samsung SM-T2105 to move apps to external storage is bewildering considering the pitifully poor space available.

Thanks.

[General Topics] groggrog:
Hello - I'm trying to solve a unique problem and am hoping someone here can lead me in the right direction. I'm using a Cingular 8125 with one of the custom rom's from here. I also have a Cingular text pager for work. I am forwarding all of my work pages to my cell phone. Here's the issue: when I respond to those pages, I'd like it to appear to the recipient as if it came from my pager and not my cell phone. The reason is that when I reply to a work page from my cell phone, the recipient sees my address as my cell phone number instead of pager address and they don't know who I am. I think it's as simple as being able to define a return address for SMS text messages.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hhmm let's see. You CAN try to use svoice. "Hi galaxy" . "Record voice" or tell it to read you the messages. In all honesty tho svoice isn't that good. Maybe an app from the play store
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Hmmm. You could use a combination of Open Mic and Google Now?

Open Mic will allow you to say "Okay Google" from anywhere (and even with the screen off during charging and so on), and then you can voice search stuff on Google from there.

Google Now can also open apps so you can open apps as well voice free, then use Open Mic to go back to Google Now completely hands free (in theory).

Its not the best solution but its a possibility?

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
First off, please read the poll questions carefully. I'm trying to assess if this is an issue with all XT926 phones or just some, and whether the common thread is that only people with unlocked bootloaders (non-dev editions that is) or locked and unlocked bootloaders experience it?

Here is a description of the issue at hand. Please read it through and then vote in the poll, choosing the answer that best fists your scenario:

There is an annoying "pop" or "click" sound that occurs every time a notification sound occurs, or when I start typing (I use Swiftkey and have key-click sound turned on), or when I lock or unlock the screen. This doesn't happen under JB. It only occurs with the KK OTA.

I have an unlocked bootloader and I was part of the soak test. When I received the soak OTA and applied the update, I noticed the sound behavior.

I have since used an FXZ to flash back to stock JB (9.30.1) and applied the official OTA this time around and the popping/clicking noise is still there.

I know this is supposedly the final update to this phone, but this annoying popping noise needs to be fixed. I'm not the only one that experienced it during the soak as well as with the official OTA.

I've done everything that was asked which is the following:

Turned off sound on key press setting - didn't help.

Turned off Touch Sounds and Vibrate on Touch - didn't help.

I don't know if people fully understand what I'm saying. I know that you can have click noises turned on when you do keypresses and such. Those work fine and I know what they are. The sound I'm talking about sounds like an electrical pop, like there is a short in the phone somewhere. It only occurs on the first keypress when I'm typing in something. If that area I'm typing in loses focus (such as the Google search bar) and then I go back to it and start typing again, the pop noise happens on the first keypress but any further typing in it doesn't make the popping noise, just the normal key clicks unless it loses focus and I come back to it again.

Same goes with notification sounds. When the first one comes up, the popping noise occurs right before or with the notification noise. If I keep the screen on and another notification sound/alert comes up, it happens again.

Or, when I unlock the screen, it gives off the popping noise right before the unlock sound. When I lock the screen, it happens right with or just right after the unlock sound occurs, at least that's what it seems to do.

All of these are repeatable issues.

I really hope a fix can be found for this as it is kind of annoying. Otherwise, the KK update seems to be pretty stable.

Thanks!

I'm running 183.46.10 with an unlocked bootloader and I haven't run into this issue.

Not sure if the exact phone type is relevant, but mine is a RAZR HD Maxx.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
It may or may not, but I'm going to see how this all fleshes out. Maybe it's a small number of phones, but I do know people on the Moto forums during the soak had reported this same issue.

If it has to do with either the bootloader being unlocked (or I just have a phone that is "bad", but I don't see how Kit Kat would make the popping noise but JB doesn't), then I'm going to live with it. I definitely do not want to trade this phone in and get one that can't be unlocked. That, or they replace it with something else, of course, they may not do that since it's unlocked when it wasn't meant to be.

Actually, just as I was typing this, I heard two pops while the screen was off. No sounds, but when I looked, I had a notification from Google Play stating that there were two updates to apps on my phone. I believe that was why it popped. The phone was set to vibrate, but it still made the popping noise.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabaldan:
There are lots of reports of the same issue by xt907 users who updated to Moto 4.4.2.

I had to deal with something similar when I was working on the branch of 3.4 caf audio code backports to 3.0 razrqcom/cm kernel for cm-10.2/cm-11.0.

If I remember correctly (it's already quite some time ago), I had to make this revert to fix this issue: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/1212f2e043341016cacd6b0d93435380750bd78e

In any case, it sounds like an issue that needs to be fixed in kernel.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Awesome. That is the first plausible explanation I've heard so far. Everything else has been guesses (turn off this, turn off that, hey what about key press clicks in your keyboard, etc, etc, etc), even though I explain it happens on the first key press but no others as long as the input box keeps focus.

I doubt Motorola will issue a patch for this, but I wonder why it affects some phones and not others?

I just had this problem last night with whatsapp and thought of this thread. it made a poping noise when I sent a message even though my device was muted.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Well, someone on the Motorola forum stated they spoke with a Motorola rep and the rep said an update is forthcoming in the next few weeks to address issues people found after the update, but it was mainly for text messaging issues. Let's hope it addresses this popping noise, but I doubt it.

What sucks is, some of this stuff was found during the soak test and yet, they still released it. Shame. :mad:

For unlocked bootloader only!

Boot images for XT926 and XT907 stock kitkat:

XT926: http://d-h.st/vre

XT907: http://d-h.st/KXA

Both boot images contain the recompiled stock kitkat kernel with increased sleep time after lineout PA enable, as in this commit: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/1212f2e043341016cacd6b0d93435380750bd78e

To be flashed via fastboot:

fastboot flash boot bootXT926speakerfix.img

or

fastboot flash boot bootXT907speakerfix.img

Please note that I don't own xt926 nor xt907, so I can't verify that the boot images boot at all, nor that they actually fix the issue.

(xt897 haven't got an official kitkat update yet, and it's possible that it won't happen for Photon Q at all.)

Be prepared to flash the stock kitkat boot.img in case of a failure if you're going to test this. You've been warned.

Please let me know how it works for you, thanks.

EDIT: links updated to correctly re-packed boot images. xt926 image confirmed to be booting and fixing the issue by iBolski.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Thanks for creating this. I tried flashing it and it hung at the Motorola logo. I couldn't get into recovery at all to try and clear cache and dalvik.

When I flashed the original KK boot image, it booted back up.

Not sure if I have to wipe data as well, but I'm going to hold off on that at this time.

Thanks!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabaldan:
Thanks for the feedback.

It's a simple little change in kernel space, no involved userspace actions as dalvik cache or data wipes should be needed for this. If it doesn't boot then it means something has derped in the process of zImage replacement inside of boot.img...

[MENTION=3250093]iBolski[/MENTION] could you please test http://d-h.st/vre ? Thanks.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Wow! So far, so good. Popping noise has disappeared and this booted up just fine.

Of course, might have to go through this again if/when the update to the OTA comes out. Supposedly, per a Moto rep, there is another one forthcoming to fix issues with text messaging. Makes me wonder if either the popping noise comes back or is fixed?

In any case, thank you. I'll keep testing and let you know if I run into other issues, but so far, this seems to be working just great!

BTW, what exactly was the fix and what was the cause of this popping noise? Why did it affect only certain phones and not all?

Also, per Android Authority, the upcoming 4.4.3 for other devices fixes an issue with popping noises when playing flac audio: http://www.androidauthority.com/android-4-4-3-bug-fixes-389036/

Wonder if this was the same issue?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabaldan:
As I've said in this thread before, I've encountered the same popping noise when I was working on CyanogenMod moto_msm8960 kernel, during the backporting of caf 3.4 kernel sound related code to our 3.0 kernel.

The commit that fixes it (I've already linked it twice in this thread) is this:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/1212f2e043341016cacd6b0d93435380750bd78e

(Now I've noticed that I actually pushed it during my birthday. Do you see the dedication? ;) )

The popping noise may not be too apparent on some devices. Every component has some tolerance, e.g. capacitors of the same nominal value don't have the exact same capacity. So the popping noise may be very subtle on some devices, while it can be rather prominent on other ones. Also, some people are less sensitive to particular sounds.

This case has nothing to do with 4.4.3 flac fixes.

It's specific to WCD9310 audio codec and the speaker amplifier used by moto_msm8960 device family.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaysp656:
I tried the XT926 one but it seems to either loop at the boot animation or occasionally it will come to the homescreen but say something like "com.android.phone has stopped working" in a pop up that wont go away

Edit: should add my phone is on Dhacker's CM11

(bootloader was unlocked yesterday \(^o^)/ )

Edit again:

I restored the stock ROM and flashed it again. Works fine. Not with CM11 though :(
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabaldan:
Indeed. The boot images linked in this thread are meant only for the stock 4.4 ROM.

The fix will be included in CM11 in the future, but it can't merged right away as it is, at this point.

The msm8960dt-common kernel used by CM11 for KK bootloader is now shared by many Motorola devices (as Moto X, Droid Ultra/Maxx, in addition to newly included support for original moto_msm8960 line).

As this patch increases the audio latency, we will have to figure out the way how to make it optional first.

Not even every xt926/xt907 device needs it...

I will talk about it with David later, but I'm currently busy working on 3.4 kernel based CM11 for Photon Q which is stuck on JB bootloader as the KitKat update for Photon Q has been unfortunately canceled by Motorola. Once I'm done with Q (I need to finish it before we switch to supporting KK bootloader only by the official CM moto_msm8960 builds), I'll get back to this.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmathisen:
Thank You!!!!

So glad I found this thread - this popping noise has been killing me ever since the upgrade. BL was unlocked because I had missed my window to unlock before getting the patch, but that has now since been fixed with the news of the exploit re-appearing.

This fix appears to have worked for me - I was always able to tell that split second before my phone was going to make a sound because of that damn pop. Much appreciated!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaysp656:
Also the sound can be a bit eliminated by turning off the touch tones under Settings > Sound > touch tones. Once that is disabled the pop won't occur at almost every button press anymore, but will still occur with sounds and stuff
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirceucorsetti:
I just updated to CM11 (M8) Snapshot. Where can I see what kernel it carries?

I'm still having popping issues on speaker. They happen mostly when the phone is locked and a notification comes. Popping comes just before notification sound, as others have stated.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sspartan:
Will this file still work after I update when the new update rolls out soon. Is there going to be a new boot img file that is going to be needed because files have changed with this new version ?I don't want to flash this same file again after I update if its will cause problems.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
I flashed the boot image file with the latest soak test and it works. Remember, you have to have an unlocked bootloader in order to flash the boot image. Those who don't have an unlocked bootloader, better unlock BEFORE applying the soak test or you will never be able to unlock or root your phone.

Soak test patches the bootloader unlock exploit as well as towelroot. You have been warned.
