[Motorola Droid Bionic] HeathicusF:
I come from the Samsung world. My SGS3 became physically non functional (broke screen including digitizer & LCD), so I bought a DROID Bionic off eBay to hold me over until contract renewal/upgrade time. It has the latest update on it.

I've been reading various threads and trying to figure out this new world, but I'm still a little confused. Or maybe just unsure of a few things and not sure what is still relevant information. A lot of the guide and how-to posts assume a knowledge of terminology that I don't have yet. I understand the concept of booting from different "slots" I SafeStrap, but I'm unsure quite how to get there.

Is Root required before installing SafeStrap?

Is the Motoshare method of rooting still the way to root? http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/16518-root-motoshare-2-old-bug-new-exploit/

Is that any different from Easy Root? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2256439

What is House Of Moto? I found instructions for installing it, but I still don't know what it is.

Once I have SafeStrap and a custom rom in one of the slots, will I be able to boot automatically from the rom of my choice? Or will I have to choose it from a boot menu each reboot?

I'll probably have more stupid questions.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ShadyDreamer:
Yes, you need root to install SafeStrap.

Motoshare doesn't work on Windows. That "Easy Root" is just a small Linux virtual machine with Motoshare for those who are running Windows. There is also Safe Root, which works on a variety of devices up to Android 4.3, including the Bionic.

It is a collection of tools, though as far as I know the only useful one on it for the Bionic is the one for restoring your phone firmware without clearing your data if you mess something up.

Yes, you can pick which system to boot up by default, stock or one of the slots. You do need to go back into SafeStrap to change the current slot if you want to boot a different one - it doesn't give you a choice during boot.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
Slight nitpick. At boot Safestrap gives you a 10 second window where you can hit a key to boot into safestrap instead of the "default" boot ROM. (or you can hit a key to boot the ROM without the wait)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ShadyDreamer:
Yes, you have to boot into Safestrap to change which will boot; it does not give you a choice to boot a different installed ROM during boot without waiting for Safestrap recovery to boot, changing which slot to boot, then rebooting - which was my point. I didn't mean that it doesn't give you any choices at all, just not a choice of which ROM slot during boot.

Hi all

since the video quality is very good on the Note 3, I've been taking lots of videos, but now want to take a frame from the videos I've taken and use it for a photo.

is there an app that can take a frame and save it at a high quality image?

Thanks

4K is another story tho, but imho the quality isnt all that'when filming in 4k. (played on 4k 84" screen at local hardware shop)

I always do that in Adobe Premiere Pro... Sony Vegas can do it as well. But those are professional video editing tools for the PC. You could try the default one on Windows (What's it called..)

I suppose the title would say it all; I'm looking for a root only hack that can add not just gold, but experience points or skill points.

Forgive my English, but I was hoping to get something akin to the Final Fantasy 3 save game editor, but, obviously, for Dragon Quest 8. I had heard Game Killer was up to version 3, but the highest I've found is 2.6 and had difficulty using it (I'm rooted) to do anything but add gold.

I have an imate sp5m and I installed the A2DP fix and now windows media player works perfectly well with my spider bluetooth headphones.

But I tried audible player (audible.com, awesome service to listen to audiobooks on your cellphone) with A2DP and I can only hear sound in the left ear. Nothing in the right ear. Disappointing. Also, I was able to control windows media player from the bluetooth headphone controls, but that doesn't work at all with audible player (the software is now called audibleAir).

Any ideas on how I could fix this? Anyone got it to work?

Audible player on WM 5

HI, what ROM are you running?

I have an orange SPV C600 and installed AUdible player. It keeps giving me an authotication error when I try to run it as it cannot locate my "Hardware/Device ID". Did you ever come across any problems like this?

Thanks

Rob
[HTC Tornado] shaialud:
no id/hardware issue for me

My ROM is the latest one:

ROM version: 2.0.8.0

Operator version: 2.6.331.2

I did not experience any problem with authentication for audible player. However, I did have to authorize my phone using the audible air software on the phone itself because it wouldn't work when I tried to authorize it from Audible manager on my PC.

I was able to hear the audio is stereo using bluecast but the quality is not great and I can't control the playback from the bluetooth headset. Still looking for a better solution.
[HTC Tornado] footang:
Hi shaialud, is your ROM the Orange version? from the UK web site?

thanx
[HTC Tornado] cingulartreo:
why it does not work

A2DP only supports mp3,wma, and maybe a couple of other formats. it is not an audible problem but a a2dp problem. Same issue on any a2dp device out htere.

Hello masters ... I am having Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 and my current custom ROM is Touchwiz UX 5.0 by NaTHaN http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2341087.

I have used internet speed meter, network monitor mini pro, updown meter and several other to see my internet speed in status bar. But everyone of these softwares show wifi speed as zero all time but 2g/3g speed is working fine.

So yesterday i installed Touchwiz Revolutionised 5.0- V4.0 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2202251.

In this ROM, internet speed meter is working perfectly fine. It is showing and both WIFI and 2g/3g data usage correctly. But i believe this ROM makes my phone slow and Touchwiz UX 5.0 by NaTHaN is very much optimised.

Please help me how can i fix this problem in ROM. I am attaching screenshots for speed in status bar for Touchwiz UX 5.0 by NaTHaN ROM with WIFI and other with 3g data usage.

Insertcoin 3.01 HTC One M8 Rom Keeps rebooting and acquiring hands free activation and prl update... each time is successful; however keeps relooping. Any suggestions?

Any workable roms or original M8 roms out there?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Anthony825:
I'm pretty sure I soft bricked my verizon m8. Not sure how, It was running fine on Skyfall for a month now. I rebooted my phone because it was acting really slow. Now all I get is a black screen. When I try to revert to any nandroids it says it's successful yet I still see a black screen. Not sure what to do here, with my Samsung S4 I would just Odin back to stock. I need to fix this phone asap because my kids can only reach me at this number. Please someone tell me how to get this going again.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
If your s-off you can try the Ruu which restores it back to factory. Maybe that will help you.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Anthony825:
I tried it and it says it fails because it can't allocate that size file onto the phone. When I go in to twrp it says that my phone isn't mounting the system and anytime I tell it to do so it immediately drops the mount again. I'm at a loss here....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] scuccia:
Rename the zip to 0P6BIMG.zip, put it on your external sdcard and flash it that way.

I had the same error you are receiving and flashing from the sdcard worked for me.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Anthony825:
I had named it to RUUM8 and moved to my external SD and attempted to flash it. It failed instantly. Does it NEED to be named OP6BIMG.zip?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Anthony825:
Also the only way I can get anything on my micro SD right now is to plug it in to another phone and drag and drop the file on to the card from there. Does that botch things up or am I ok in doing it that way? I don't have an adapter for the card to read in my computers slot....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] adavit:
I don't believe that will screw anything up since you're copying it to your external card. Also, the zip has to be named OP6BIMG.zip otherwise it won't flash in boot loader.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
[MENTION=5372704]Anthony825[/MENTION] the above advice is correct. Make sure your sd card is formatted as fat32. Otherwise bootloader won't detect it. That's a leading zero too...not a capital O. Cut copy and paste this...

0P6BIMG.zip
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Anthony825:
So .zip has to be in the name? twrp detected the memory card and I tried to boot RUUM8 from it and it failed. Is that because it wasn't named properly and/or because my cats was never formatted after I took it out of the package?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Anthony825:
Card* not cats
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
You shouldn't be using twrp for an ruu. The file extension is zip. So if you were looking at the sd card on your PC you would see the .zip part. You would run that from bootloader. Twrp will never flash it
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Anthony825:
Where in the bootloader do I go to flash the file?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
If you have everything right your bootloader should pick it up. If your phone boots up in fastboot mode choose the bootloader option from the menu and you should see it look for that file by name.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Anthony825:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] BlastoiseOne:
Hello I really need help I've been working on this for hours, I am trying to downgrade my old HTC Flyer to install a new rom, I was in a stat where I was about to install a RUU but the power was less than 30%, I could not shut it off or something. I searched my problem and ran into this batch file thread that loops reboot in order to charge:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1658084&highlight=stop

Problem is not only does the Flyer not charge, it's not stuck in infinite reboot loop. I'm not very experienced and I'm totally stuck now.

I can't run the RUU even though I'm charging it as it reloops because it does not stay on long enough for the RUU to begin working. I'm not even sure if I had set up the Flyer so that it will accept the RUU yet I was still experimenting. Please help me out I need to at least get back to recovery before I can work on it!

Thank you so much for reading!

EDIT: I've already tried to install the RUU, or try to unlock the phone, it's now in "RELOCK". Both of those methods could not finish because it constantly reboots itself.

Cool, I've been tweaking my G2 as well using the interactive governor, but the kernel on the latest DU has a few more governors, including Dance Dance, Smartmax and Smartmax EPS. Might try them out, since you consider it to give better battery life compared to a tweaked interactive.
