This seems to be a bit more complicated for me.

So what other rom can I flash? Skydragon? ARHD?

I'm sorry I don't understand when you spoke about the gsm thing.

My device is gsm right.. I'm using it in india now with my older sim card.
[One (M8) Android Development] ckpv5:
I'm talking about your 3.31.512.2 device. This one is a CDMA but with GSM capability (has SIM card slot)

Your other M8 (the one that you first talked about how to root it) is I believe a GSM, you should be able to install any ROM that you like as long as your device firmware is 4.x.xxx.x or above.

Am I wrongly understand here .. you do have two M8 right ?
[One (M8) Android Development] CyrilBritto:
Yes mate.... Correct.. I have 2 m8s.

One is international version.. The firmware for that is 6.x

The other one is Verizon unlocked one. The cdma one with gsm capability as you said.

That's where I needed help..

There is a 3rd m8 for which the motherboard must be replaced.. I don't get international version motherboard here.. Trying to get it.. It's perfect otherwise.. It's just lying down.
[One (M8) Android Development] gaddy-:
It's not clear (for me, at last) a thing..

If I perform ROOT & S-OFF through SunShine and then follow the instructions in OP, I'll be able to receive OTA from HTC? (ATM I'm 4.16.401.13 stock)

In this very moment I need to stay STOCK (with root access), that's why I'm asking.

Thanks

i have a rooted xperia play and have used the adaway ad blocker app for a couple of years with no problems

but suddenly I cannot access fully the amazon (shopping) app or internet version , I can browse amazon etc

but it will not load up any of the images for the products, if I disable ad blocking on adaway it works fine but as soon

as I enable the ad blocking it no longer loads up any of the amazon photos, can anyone out there please help

thanks

[General Topics] beppomarx:
ok guys- from what i have and read on this site, i have respect for a lot of people here. some are leechers and a lot are developers, and that is a good ratio. anyway, my situation is told. i am a computer 'designer' by nature. one who builds computers and supports windows and BIOS and helps all of his friends and family out. working on cars is my true passion, but being technical and to the pont is key. now browsing through this site and howardforums, i have yet to find a true 'beginners guide' that shows one the path of a developer. now i know i may be way out of my leage here but i will get to my point soon.

i have a PC and all of the software for it, whoopie. laptops have never appealed to me. right now, i work for cingular and see that the 8125 has a lot of potential. my scenario is- i can get the 8125 (wizard for the layperson ;) pun intended ) for very cheap and i want to make the most of it. microsoft has never really released a version of windows that was

a.) stable and

b.) what you need without having 2 dozen bells and whistles

so here i am- looking for the best of both worlds you could say. i am not quite sure how the terms 'radio ROM' and 'extended ROM' differ, but i am more than willing to learn. keep in mind that i am not a programmer. although i took a few years of programming many years ago, i did not care to pursue it.

i will buy this refurbished wizad so i can [hopefully] get a 1.x version of the ROM and fully unlock it with ease. from there, i will install a clean version of windows and do what i need from there. which includes the following:

run AIM (or trillian or whatever works best with a PDA)

access email via exchange servers

have a stable internet browser

overclock the device (i realize i can wait for a $400 device that runs at 400mhz+ but for the price i will make the most of the wizard)

well, for now i am done talking. this is more or less a drunken post by a guy who loves technology, but i feel that i have made my point. and thank you for everyone who points me in the right direction. i am not looking for a link to "the best ROM" or "an ultimate installer" but just direction to some information where an educated decision can be made. thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
[General Topics] levenum:
OK:

1) Don't be sorry :)

2) You should really go over the WiKi on this site - it has everything you need to know.

3) Radio ROM is what controls your phone + WiFi + BT, extended ROM is just a hidden partition where cell companies stick their customization installers.

4) There is no such thing as "clean windows" for mobile devices. The ROM image comes custom tailored for each device and there can be no generic OS you can install.

5) Exception to 4: If you look closely through this site you may find links to custom cooked ROMs that were streamlined to get rid of some junk.

Good luck.

hey peoples

So i bought a brand new unlocked M8 to use on telus, after some days stupidity came over and made me root the phone, i flashed a ROM but i forgot which one on the phone. TADA! it worked and been happy about but it is causing some services to not work. i have some questions

Can i flash back a telus stock ROM on the phone?

If i cannot flash a telus stock rom can i flash a rogers ROM back on to the M8?

and where do i find these Roms or even a generic M8 rom i can find?

Thank you in advance.

much love

Only fastboot works when in bootloader, adb needs a custom recovery or android to work. Use fastboot to flash the images (run the install all bat file).

Connect your device to the PC in fastboot mode and type "fastboot devices". Do you get an output?

Remember that you have to run the command line from the folder where your fastboot.exe resides.

[Nexus 5 General] XTS-Troll:
Used an ipod touch 4 (my first mobile device) for 2 years and loved ios jailbreaking... heard a lot about android's openness for customization (especially after rooting) and finally got a Nexus 5. This is the first time I have owned an Android device and have had it for a month. Have rooted the phone and installed various apps like XPosed framework...

What I need help with is deciding whether to install a custom rom and kernel...for rom the best option is cyanogenmod (according to me)(atleast from what i found in this short 1 month) and I cant seem to find a feature in this rom that xposed especially with modules like gravity box dosent offer... if there are some features that make cyanogenmod awesome please tell me.

Me personally and from what I have read all Nexus 5 owners have reported battery issues and I came to know that Android community is passionate to make custom kernels to take matters into its own hands to improve battery and performance.... but this is something I hardly know about since accessing the kernel is a dream in ios and i am new to Android... plus various forums say that kernels can even fry your hardware if u make mistakes and no one wants that.

So ultimately the main thing i need help in is deciding which rom to install (mainly cyanogenmod), and if I even need to install it. Second which kernel to install and is it worth it, performance is already enough with the stock kernel and battery life is the main concern and some added features like double tap to wake are always welcome.

After finding out these things then I want to get down to small things, please help me since I am an inexperienced Android user.... and i dont want to harm the device since companies are not keen to fix or replace device in my country India.

Finally if I broke any forum rules in this post please tell me in a post.... please dont deactivate this forum just tell me and I will fix it (again I am new to XDA).

I cant code but we can make a list of best apps to install on a Nexus 5 to make it a perfect device (root).
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
i hope you know that there are many more kernels available, some better than the ones listed. for that reason, im not voting. no reason to recommend something that i wouldnt use.
[Nexus 5 General] XTS-Troll:
The poll is a work in progress, like i said i am new to android i dont know much, if u know a better kernel please tell me and do tell me why...
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
and asking for which rom or kernel to use isnt allowed on xda. as there isnt a best rom or kernel, you need to try them all out to find the combo that would fill your needs best and what works for your device best. no one can tell you which itll be, only you can find out yourself.

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------

and you posted in the wrong forums! this doesnt go in general, but in q&a.
[Nexus 5 General] Darth:
This ^^^

Also, "all nexus 5 owners report battery problems"? Um...no. And battery life is about setup and usage. Kernels and ROMs make a minor if any difference. I can get over 24 hours a charge and 6 hours screen time with any ROM and kernel combo. Cause I set up for it. And my usage doesn't include battery intensive activities.

You need to do a bit more research my friend. Flash and decide what's best for you and read the nexus 5 battery life thread to learn how to maximize battery life. People with poor battery life either have an issue and have never trouble shot it properly.....or they have absolutely everything enabled and are seeing average life for that scenario.

Good luck! ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Every processor is not created equal. No two SoC's are the exact same on any phone ever. Some phones will run ROMs or kernels better than others. It's up to you to decide what works best on YOUR device. It takes a lot of patience and testing, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Welcome to Android buddy. Hope you enjoy the phone. :)

Edit: If battery life is important to you, don't enable double tap to wake. Or sweep to wake. They're known battery killers on this phone. Read up on why in any custom kernel thread that has those features available.
[Nexus 5 General] wedgess:
I echo what has already been said to you here. We do not allow best ROM/Kernel threads on XDA, The question is subjective and what's best for someone else may not be what is best for you. Best advice is to head over to the development section, try some out and see which best suits your needs.

I have recently repartitioned the data partition with the 4GB pit file, but after that I have been having strange issues with the data: if the phone is shut down improperly at next boot the media scanner drains the battery so I have to kill it with the app music database repair and also if I look in settings > memory ( or storage, I don't know in English) it will drain the battery and it will not show all the statistics of used space. Is there any way to correctly format the internal storage partitions? I formatted them after the repartition with an old kernel and then flashed the latest dorimanx for kitkat to install either pacman rom and resurrection remix, but since I have the same problem with both I suspect it is file system related
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent_fabulous:
Hi. I just installed unofficial CM9 on my Wildfire Buzz and to update hangouts, I required Google Play Services. I installed it from the market but it seems to be Crashing every few seconds with the prompt "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped"... This has been getting real annoying. I nearly tried everything, Wiping its and play store's cache, data, rebooting to recovery, wiping cache and dalvik cache, factory resetting and even just re-installing Google Play services.Nothing seems to work. Do I need to convert Play services to a system app or something? I'm confused. :eek: Someone help?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
On the cm9 thread there should be a package called GApps (short for Google apps) did you flash the correct version for ICS?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent_fabulous:
Seems odd.

Yes, I did. I also noticed that the play services framework IS there in system/app but it installed the update as an absolutely different app. Why do I say so? Here -

1.When I installed it from the play store, It said installing not updating

2.It can be moved to the sdcard with ds app2sd

without

ds system app remover.

This error mainly occurs when I load the play store or hangouts. Should I try to backup the install app to an apk and replace the one in the system folder?

EDIT! : Google Play Services has gone missing from /system/app after reboot! Even play store has automatically downgraded itself and Gives "server error" when I try to open it. Re-installing ROM with different slim-gapps package rather than full gapps (Saves me 40MB space!---- Lulz.xD)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent_fabulous:
Whaa?

Okay, I reinstalled gapps and the rom and I still have the same issue. It pops up ever 7-10 seconds in Play music. :eek: Any help? Had this issue on another port of cm9 too! Is this an ics bug?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Does the ROM thread state it as a bug? Can you grab a logcat?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent_fabulous:
Meh. :/

I really don't think he Rom thread had anything useful. It is not listed in the bugs section. I followed all the instructions again and didn't get anywhere except 2 more errors - com.google.process.gapps has stopped and Play store has stopped. Trying to get the logcat now. The error only appears when I connect to the internet. Shall I turn off sync? Can it be related? If it doesn't work, I would probably have to change my rom. >.<

I'm using this rom with the Full Gapps included on the thread. Still Google Play services has stopped. :/

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2378940

Edit: Google Play services has started to receive the 2nd update today. Let's see what happens! Will start logcat once play services is up and running to capture the first force close.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Hmmm. A few more questions :)

Have you moved any Google play related apps to your sdcard?

Does your sdcard have an ext partition?

Is the date and time on your phone correct?

Can other apps connect to the internet without issue?

Is your home internet connection stable? ie any chance the gapps package you downloaded has became corrupted?

Had you tried any other ROMs?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent_fabulous:
Didn't force close yet!!

Have you moved any Google play related apps to your sdcard? - No. I had earlier. Right now, all on internal storage.

Does your sdcard have an ext partition? - No

Is the date and time on your phone correct? - Yes. It is usually on automatic.

Can other apps connect to the internet without issue? - Yes. Browser and Talk can connect. Hangouts after update does connect but keeps crashing

Is your home internet connection stable? ie any chance the gapps package you downloaded has became corrupted? - Internet is on all the time and is supported by a backup power source so it never shuts. I re-downloaded it anyways and same issue. I have used other cm9 ics roms, same issue.

Btw, it just finished updating, No issues yet. (Been 30 mins! Woah!Still connected to wifi)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent_fabulous:
Breaking News! It has been fixed I guess! No force closes at all after update!
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
That's great news :) have you tried it on data and not on WiFi? It might have been your internet connection :)

Also as a rule of thumb you should be careful what apps you move to your sdcard as lots can have issues and some cannot run all the time (which is required for apps like SD maid)

If your getting really low on space try looking at using an ext3 partition on your sdcard and app2sd type set-ups :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent_fabulous:
Thanks! But, won't moving to the sdcard and moving to an ext3 partition give the same results? I found why I was having the error. I think it was because my device was always downloading a real old version of play services. Anyways, I am trying a different rom now. Let's see if this one has the issue too or is it fixed by google. :P Any suggestions to some fast 4.0.4 roms? I tried Cm9 unofficial. Searching for more. Currently trying elementary ux.

Sorry I may have misunderstood, I know that the transparent status bars did not come in the ota, but as far as I was aware the status bar icons should all be white. I thought you were talking about stock icons such as dialer, camera, etc.
