I tested pretty much any available 4.4 ROM out there and just recently installed the sony 4.4.

I don't see any difference in performance besides laggy settings wich seems to be a bug in the sony ROM.

I have tested ART and used it allways with custom ROMs but to be honest: I never felt even the slightest difference between ART and Dalvik.

CM11 didn't perform any better then the official firmware either in my opinion. I never did any benchmarksa though.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] AllanJacques:
Well, what can I say?

I didnt run any benchs either but as far as feelings go I feel CM11 faster and smoother than any sony iteration I have tested, granted that I didnt test KK.

I guess it is a matter of preference indeed, I got a new tablet when changed to CM11 but I wouldnt change my Z1 rom as I dont think there is any advantage to it.

Nonetheless, if anyone care to try CM11 or AOKP I urge them to do so!

I've tried flashing CM11, for some reason it's not booting.

[Xperia Tablet Z General] AllanJacques:
First you have to flash boot.img

By the way, try Omni Rom, it's even better than cm11
[Xperia Tablet Z General] romskii:
boot.img? Hmm...I've done all the normal rooting process and flashed kitkat and just don't thought about an boot.img.

Do you have a guide? Maybe you can send me a pm to keep this thread clean from off topic :)

Hi, i would like to announce my new app Contacts on lockscreen widget.

This widget allows you to add contacts on the lock screen.

Just one click - on contact icon, and phone will call selected contact. No need to unlock the screen, even if it is locked with pattern / photo / PIN!

There are 2 sizes of widget for lockscreen, and 3 sizes for home launcher.

Just Updated my Nexus 4 to 10.2.1 from 10.1.3 and now I constantly get "unfortunately, Google Play Services have stopped."

Also my Play store was missing from the phone so I installed the one that comes with Lucky Patcher (modded one) but that didn't work. Tried un-installing Play services and re installing it (downloaded the apk)

Hello thanks in advance for any help. I bought a metal case with glass and put it on. It really killed my signal. So I took the back off and cut the blue antenna wire to see if I could run it out side the case. That made things worse. Now I only get wife and emergency calling. I don't have any wire between the bottom antenna and top one. Do I just have to replace that wire. Or did I brake that whole bottom chip with the USB port. Speakers. And antenna.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ThePro2014:
Hi guys, Reyncla has upload it to htcmania the spanish forum like xda. You need to know that this rom is maded by de developer Reyncla.

THIS ROM HAS SOME FUNCTIONS OF THE "SELFIE ROM" :good:

Has Emui 2.3 With Android 4.4.2 (Please tell me the bugs, this is a beta)

From the original ROM:

* The lockscreen is the same P7 showing weather and other app.

* The default theme is "Balance" (As P7) because it has a very good and different from others in the lockcreen effect.

This topic includes more than 10 images in the rotating lockscreen

* It has the function of taking panoramic pictures with front camera "selfie" (As P7)

* Includes many Gapps

* Includes Swype keyboards Huawei and Android (AOSP)

* It is multi-language

* Change the way notifications (like the P7) are displayed

* Displays the name of the operator in the upper left (As P7)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amended:

* Added the ability to hide the softkeys

* Added the "UI a hand"

* I changed the softkeys. For the "home" I made the logo of Huawei.

* When the bottom of the softkeys should appear, is black (without Xposed)

* Added 6 new themes (extracted from P7):

Colorful, Dream, Gentleman, Glare, Serenity and Shangrila.

Some of these issues have been retouched because P7 screen is 5 "

* EL default language is Spanish.

* Added root permissions.

* Added the app Quickboot to easily enter TWRP recovery.

* Added the "App Center" Huawei to update multiple apps

I Don`t know that this rom is Multi-Language, I am trying to contact the developer to tell him, if multi language, anyway, try the rom and discuss whether or not multi-language. :good:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Bigshoguns:
Hi,

I just bought a MDA off ebay and the phone works great!

BUT the problem is IMEI numbers dont match ANYWHERE!!

Box, Back of phone and *#06# They are 3 different #'s

I can still make and recieve calls and go on the net.. phones works properly.

Is there anyway some1 could have changed the IMEI? Or is there a Rom flash that could have done this?

OR could a Unlock have altered the IMEI?

And is there a way i can change the IMEI to the same one as the one on the back of my phone?

The Seller has agreed to refund my money, but I want to exercise all my options b4 I return it. Bc the price was actually great!

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in Adv!

Brit.

:thumbup:

PS i did search for this issue and did come accross some good threads, but there was alot of "THIS IS ILLEGAL" i know this so please post somthing meaningful... :D :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kyphur:
Your best bet is to get your money back. At best the phone was serviced and the guts placed inside the wrong case by accident (which would explain 3 different IMEI) but at worst there could be something hinky in the phone's history that will come back to bite you as the current owner.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] GldRush98:
I wouldn't worry about it.

1) The phone works

2) You know the phone's actual IMEI

That's all there is to it. Don't worry about it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Bigshoguns:
both of you bring up a good point.

I am leaning towards keeping theh thing b/c of the price i paid for it b/c of a mislabeling of the auction. It was a super low price..

I will check to see if the guts were changed, there probably will be a sign if the casing was opened.

Can you give signs to look for tampering?

Second, I read were some1's IMEI changed b.c of a Unlock could this have happend to my MDA?

Thanks for you replies agian!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kyphur:
HTC (or T-Mobile Warranty) might me able to confirm if any (or all) of the IMEIs you have are from serviced phones.

As for the Unlock changing the IMEI, I know one user reported it but I seriously the validity of their story.

I've CID unlocked 5 HTC Phones (3 BlueAngels, 2 Wizards) and SIM unlocked them also with the IMEI never being changed.

Just remember though, if there is something hinky and the phone is hot you can lose the phone and never see your money.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] markgamber:
I would imagine that if the phone was put up for sale, sold, shipped, turned on and found to work and it is hot, the heat has probably cooled considerably. Or, in other words, if it was going to be banned by the network, I would think it would have already happened. As far as unlocking changing the IMEI, I second the above. Few things are impossible but a simple unlocking changing the IMEI has to be close. If it was my phone, I'd first look for some obvious sign of tampering. Crooks aren't very smart (they are crooks, after all) so it shouldn't be hard to find. If nothing jumped out at me, I'd shrug my shoulders and call it mine.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Bigshoguns:
Cool, I will call HTC.

I just called Tmobile and they said that they dont BAN phones, they just ban simcards. but I doubt they would admit the truth.

the phone working is a Positive sign to me.

But I will call HTC and confirm. ALSO I will Call Paypal and see if i have any kind of warranty to buying a stolen item.

if all else fails i will return the phone to the seller.

Brittany
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Bigshoguns:
the IMEI should look exactly like the IMEI on the back of the phone rite? not shorter or longer?

i will reverify if its' shorter or something. b/c i read some where about a 17 and 15 digits are needed.

ALSO say if my MDA was stock right out of the box would the phone have these 4 lines on the top left corner in red with some numbers and stuff.. possibly rom info and model info?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mestrini:
Usually the stickers with IMEI numbers are difficult to forge since it requires a special paper (Nokia at least) and a special kind of file.

Although the theory of mixing boards, cases and boxes is very plausible there's still the chance that the IMEI on the back of the phone is the hot one. You can always try to change back to it (but taking note of the one stored presently in ROM for future use) and see if it gets barred/blocked or you get a visit from the authorities :twisted: In any case, this forum's posts could help to prove your innocence in court (just kidding :lol: )

As for the procedures to achieve it, get back to me via PM ;)

cheers
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Bigshoguns:
Well i took it to a local Tmobile store and they exchanged the phone for me. WOOT! WOOT! this was a pure sealed one. so prob solved.. now i just have to do a CID and Sim Unlock and upgrade to the latest rom.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] markgamber:
Wow! Not bad! If the 2.26 ROM is already on it (I got a new one a couple days ago on warrantee and that was the case), you may want to think twice before changing that. I've been real happy with 2.26 and it's gotten to where the ONLY thing I bother changing in the registry is the glyphcache and menu settings and I uninstall OZ, the DAT MailTrigger thing and the Hotspot login utility. And...bonus time....you don't void the warrantee that mayb prove handy in the future.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daedalus1:
I have a Samsung Ativ S which I have been using as a WiFi hotspot to connect my laptop and Nexus 7 to while I am working away. Recently got a text to tell me if I carry on I will be cut off on my mobile contract. I have a sim only deal that gives me unlimited calls, text and 3G internet so I'm a bit brassed off. It took an hour of searching to find the no teathering in the conditions of use.

Any way what I want to know are there any Windows Phone apps that will hide the teathering from my supplier? I am hung off a T Mobile/ Orange network.

Daedalus1
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
ATIV S can use wired tethering (search the forum for it, I posted instructions and drivers sometime last year). Even though my plan supports tethering, it's data-limited and when I use the wired tethering they don't list the data usage for it so I'm guessing it's not detectable, or at least not easily.

There's also an app called TetherX or something like that, which will act as a SOCKS proxy server on the phone; you then set your PC to use the phone as its proxy server. Won't work for non-proxy-aware apps but otherwise should do the trick.

Of course, this all assumes they're checking whether or not you're using the phone's tethering feature somehow, rather than doing something more nefarious like deep packet inspection. If they're checking "are you using the 'Internet Sharing' feature?" then I would expect them to just limit its usage; the phone has the capability to test whether or not tethering is permitted on your plan, and does so test by default. If they're using DPI and noticing traffic to/from PC clients (based on user-agent strings or something) then you're in trouble unless you can route all your traffic over SSL, which mostly thwarts packet inspection.

Hello XDA! this is my first post here. Though i have been reading it for a long time and and i am very helpful to this site for all help it provides.

this is first time i have to post because i couldn't find any solution after two days of searching around.

I have a sony xperia Z2 (D6502) and i was trying to root that thing. i unlocked the bootloader using Sony's official guide. But i can't root it. i consulted a guide at android.gs which told me to just download superSU.zip and boot into recovery, and install zip from there.however i just can't boot into recovery.

All the guides for booting Z2 into recovery say that -

1) Switch off the phone

2) Switch on, when notification led lights up, press volume up or down a few times.

But -

when switching on, notification lights of my phone never light up.it just shows a Sony logo, followed by a Xperia Logo and boot animation.

even the adb boot recovery method does not work. phone just does a complete restart. thats it.

Do i even have a recovery installed on my phone? i got no idea.

I went through all this last night. Unlocked bootloader fine. Used fastboot to install DooM's adv stock kernel but the rom I was on was stock 255 and kernel was for 402 so I was getting a black screen. I think the easiest thing for me would have been to fastboot on the 255 kernel but I wasn't thinking straight, used flashmode to put on a stock 402 rom and then used fastboot to put on the 402 kernel, finally got into recovery.

You can't root through flashtool, you only need it to get the kernel w/recovery on it. Then install supersu from recovery.

Are you sure that your bootloader is unlocked successfully ? Some career is not allowing you to unlock the bootloader. Can't think about other reason. Maybe try reinstall driver... Or maybe another method is avaliable for D6502

I'm also looking for a solution. I did have it installed before updating to .314 so I'm gonna wait till a solution is found before re-installing. Apart from clean installing .314 and re-installing dual recovery I can't think of a solution off the top of my head. I was posting back and forward with someone last night who had tried re-installing dual recovery, but to no avail. Hence the reason I'm gonna wait. Hope this helps a bit peeps:fingers-crossed:
