[General Questions and Answers] Anz20in:
Hello Experts,

I'm fairly new to this world.. Hope you guys will help me out..

My Questions are,

-What is Custom ROM & Stock ROM with regard to Rooting?

-How to root Xperia ZR?

-What is flashing the drive?

-When I type *#*#7378423#*#*, it says in software info section-- you phone doesn't support firmware version read.

Also in configuration section, Rooting status: Bootloader unlock allowed: YES

-What is locked boot loader and unloacked boot loader?

All I want is to install 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 on ZR.

Eagerly waiting to get some guidelines/ tutorials.

Thanks & Regards,

Anshul
[General Questions and Answers] Sakthivel_Subbiah:
hi anshul,

a warm welcome to the world of xda-developers forum...

A Stock ROM is the ROM which is came with your phone. it is more stable but lacks customisation...

A Custom ROM is the ROM made for your phone by a developer (eg. cyanogen mod). It has more customisation but buggy, stable releases also there...

For Xperia ZR rooting guide see this thread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2427995

Flashing is nothing but replacing with another software (e.g. flashing recovery)

in some phones bootloader is locked by manufacturers such that we cant able to install another os to the phone.. if we unlock the bootloader then we can able to flash roms and install os...

hope i cleared all your doubts...:good:

dont hesitate to ask any doubts to xda...

I tried to upgrade mine xda with ivan's rom but something went wrong so now i cand upgrade it at all.

Allways i get some country or model id error.

I tried to restore image(which i got from another XDA) but says when i enter bootloader & when i should be asked for rom dump it says:

SD Download

Sections=3

Not allow update

I checked ExtROM version but it says 0.0

Please if u have any solution i would be gratefull
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] imatrix:
stop complaining and start searching for solution.

hint: use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to bypass the country code error.

helmi_c has packed this kinda utility in this latest rom (in the folder PH20B1).

good luck.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Mantiwhore:
also read the upgrading wiki. what does it say your meant to do before you upgrade? get ur device data. then what does it say to do with that data?

input it into the upgrade file. helmi's newest rom pretty much does this for u if u follow the wiki and the readme that comes with it.

always follow guides TO THE LETTER, or you're gonna screw up your device.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freegalaxy:
Hi guys ?

When I install vn rom I have problem with sharpness of screen

I think it's not standard

how can I change it

Thanks ??
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
What exactly do you mean? - it's possible the kernel on the ROM changes the colour profiles, there's loads of reasons why it may be happening.

Throw us a bone, few more details? - ROM version etc and explain what you mean by the sharpness. (could mean many many things)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freegalaxy:
My English is not good sorry my friend

I remember we can change sharpness 1 and 2 and 3 and 0

Ahh OK I got you. - You should be able to edit your screen sharpness with colour profiles or changing the MDNIE

[Pebble] milky81:
Hello.

I've been using an app in my androidphone "Metafy" that shows track and artist on my pebble when using spotify. Since the latest update of Spotify this does not work any more. Any one have the same problem?

How-to:

http://selfscreens.com/forums/index.php?threads/how-to-spotify-and-pebble.387/
[Pebble] milky81:
Found an alternative app for sending Spotify info to the Pebble music controller that seems to work.

(BTW I'm using galaxy s3 and liquid smooth ROM 4.4.2).
[Pebble] paviol:
why don't you share what you found as an alternative?
[Pebble] streamlin3d:
Alternative app

I use Media Utilities. It works with Spotify and Podcast (and possibly more).

The disadvantage is, that it needs notification access to read out the current track/podcast. Additionally the user interface is a little odd and buggy.

But it works and nothing bad has happened yet. ;)

...yay, can't post links as a newbie, but I bet you can find it yourself in the Play store ( com.batescorp.notificationmediacontrols.alpha )
[Pebble] milky81:
Sorry I forgot to put that in there. It was not a good solution anyways it was a strange app that constantly increased the volume.

Tried Media Utilities as posted above and it works!

It does not show Album though.

In the app I added spotify, and then in settings under Application Integration i checked the marker next to Pebble Watch.

Use Music Boss to fix this, and you'll also gain the best watch app for Pebble as a bonus n

Hello xda,

StockRom better and Powerfull than ever!!!

[Nexus 5 Android Development] KerryWood34:
First! Going to download and give it a go
[Nexus 5 Android Development] safariking:
Thanks would you provide me a screenshot of homescreen and let me know how it goes!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] KerryWood34:
Downloading now. Got slow internet though so might take a while.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] safariking:
No problem take your time man Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] KerryWood34:
ROM installed perfectly, but once started a lot of things started to force close including calendar and the play store. I didn't even open them yet and I was getting force close messages. I tried opening the Play Store and it would stay open for about 5 seconds and would then force close. Had to go back to 100% stock for now :(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] safariking:
hmmm... that is weird man can you tell me the list wich apps fc?

BTW have you wiped your phone maybe neccesery!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] KerryWood34:
Calendar, Google search, and play store were the ones that force closed. Not being able to use the play store made it kind of pointless to use for now.

I wiped phone completely before install. System, Data, and both caches were wiped 3 times
[Nexus 5 Android Development] howard bamber:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] safariking:

Hey, I used allot of your roms on the 8.9, which I still have. I was so bummed that that tablet didn't take off better then it did. Anyway, I'll dl this & check her out, thanks for this. And thanks for keeping the name, never seen so many thread police/rats that are not mods running their mouths in threads, this belongs here not there, & this ain't right & that ain't right. Its realty quite sad, go to thread, if you like, stay & enjoy, if you think a problem, report to mods & let them decide. Rant done

Ok, yeah safariking, same thing on the play store, & calendar. I tried deleting it & flashing a team blackout play store, changing permissions, clearing cache, in settings & recovery. So couldn't update play services, which I need for hangouts, (the wife), lol, anyway. Will defiantly keep an eye on this.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] aheeejd:
Well, i didn't flash a gapps package, i flashed single blacked out apps, from team blackout, & doing what i did didn't help. But I'd be willing to flash again & then flash a 4.4.3 gaps package if you want me to. Let me know.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] safariking:
True that :p
[Nexus 5 Android Development] aheeejd:
Yes I had tried this already, didn't matter. I hear/see in other threads not to use slim gapps. I guess what I'm saying, not sure where the gapps in the rom come from, but maybe that has something to do. I'm on different rom now, but, flash-a-holic, so I'll check back & see what's up here.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2
[Nexus 5 Android Development] safariking:
Gapps in this rom are just the pre-installed one which are in the System.img

That's why i don't get it why it isn't working
[Nexus 5 Android Development] safariking:
Calendar fix found :) I deleted GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter i think that must be the problem for calendar

Play store problem no clue

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiwiandy:
So i bought a Dot View case for my M8 am and pretty underwhelmed by the lack of useful notifcations I get.. virtually none.

What I do like is the fact that it automagically turns on and off when I open and shut the case.

I assumed this is done with a magnet underneath the HTC logo on the flip cover, so I applied a small piece of magentic tape to an ordinary flip case that I prefer to use, however cannot get it to turn the phone oon and off.

looking closely at the dot case there appears to be something in the case on the rear of the phone opposite where the HTC logo is on the flip cover. Is this having an effect of the operation.

Does anybody know how this works, and how I can emulate in another cover?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuts77:
I've done some tests with a dot view case, and with a few others.

Basically, it's just a small magnet placed above the screen, positioned about 3 cm from the left edge and 6.5 cm from the bottom edge of the phone, which turns it on or off.

If you can find a magnet thin & strong enough, and put it in the right place, you can virtually emulate the effect on any flip case.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiwiandy:
Thanks for your reply, perhaps the magnetic strip i used wasn't strong enough.

Are you sure about the "3 cm " from the left hand edge?.. looking at my dotview cover it seems to span from about 0.5cm to 2cm from the LH edge?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeznuts:
Every flip case I own do this and have no magnets. Open cover and screen turns on. I thought it was maybe a light sense but Idk? I have the Watson flip case I think made by Incipio? Also a generic eBay one made of leather.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuts77:
If your screen turns on/off, it's that your covers have the small magnet inside. Try it with a piece of cardboard or anything else and you will see the behaviour is different ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] sygys:
Hi there,

Im pretty new to rooting, and just rooted my note 2 N7100 EU version.

I have a Qi charging pad and read allot about Sammy limiting it to 460 mAh.

What i would like to do is keeping the standard samsung firmware 4.3 but with a kernel that only enables the 1000 mAh charging rate over wireless charging. Is this possible?

i read allot of posts with custom roms with pages of changelogs and bug fixes but what i dont want is stuff to stop working after i flash a custom kernel.

Is there a way to enable 1000 mAh wireless charging without skrewing the rest of the firmware?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnusnet:
Hello,

I currently own a rooted/unlocked Nexus 5 smartphone and my carrier just pushed me the new android 4.4.3 update and it's been a while since I've been in this situation (get update while running andoird with root access).

My questions are the following:

- If I remeber well from last time I had this situation with my galaxy nexus, installing 4.4.3 will not harm my phone, it will still be unlocked, no data will be lost but I won't have root access anymore nor be able to use apps that require root. Is this correct?

- Is there a way (or will there be a way that I should patiently wait for) to get the 4.4.3 update, whithout loosing data or root access? Last time, I installed the pushed update, lost root, had to wait for the tool I used to be updated, then had to root the phone again and lost all the data (yes I saved most of it but still is a pain in the arse to redo everything).

I am aware that the version just came out and I have no problem waiting for amazing devs to do their mojo, I was just wondering if updating rooted versions was possible without data loss and I should wait for it or if I will have to root the phone again ^^.

Thanks in advance for your answers :)

Mobile Data not Working

Possibly because I'm not from Portugal and not on that network, but I can't seem to get my mobile data to work. It says I need to insert a SIM card. Probably flashing back to 4.2.2 in the meantime unless I can find a fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
Be carefull with flashing back 4.2.2 - new firmware contains new bootloader which makes it impossible to downgrade (at least in simple manner). Flashing KK is one way road...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jimmbomb:
That is how you get your mobile data and phone service is with a sim card.

Then you have to set up an APN to match your particular sim for data.

If you do not have a sim...you can still use your mega , but on a wifi instead and still no phone or mms.

Even though your not in Portugal. . You can stillnflash it and just choose the language that you want.

Good luck.

I still cant believe that no one has tried this KK upgrade on their 9205 and NOT reported back

If they like it or not
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jca126:
I did install it and I'm not happy. Mobile data not able to be used. If all you want to do with your phone is make calls and send SMS, feel free to flash it if you're not from Portugal.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jimmbomb:
Who's sim card are you using?? and the phone and sms works??

Maybe try your APN again. Can you get the correct APN settings for your sim and double check..

PS.... Does it have the United Stated English language choice when coming off a factory reset??

I would ask you if you know anything about the italian 4.4.2 kitkat for mega. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] RSAntilles:
Works fine for me although I expected a few cosmetic changes. Theres no Kitkat wallpapers, everything look the same as 4.2.2 apart from the system changes obviously. Not noticing any better battery performance yet, will keep testing.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
In fact there are not so many changes besides KNOX and bootloader...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] cglegion:
Is it really worth custom-flash to 4.4.2 Portugal if you're not from that country or would you just prefer to wait for the official to roll out?

In my opinion, since there's not much to brag on the KitKat version of Galaxy Mega, I would stick to JellyBean and wait for the official OTA from Samsung. I don't see any custom ROMs for the GT-I9205 yet and there are not many developers into this device compared to the good old S2, S3, S4, S5 series. I'm not sure why, there are more custom ROMs for low-branded devices such as the Lenovo series. Now, I feel a bit regretted buying this phone unless you're a big fan of TouchWiz UI (on a big display panel) and don't like the Xperia, or HTC Sense interface, this is for you.
