[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sears-:
I had CM11 M6 installed. I wanted to flash this kernel called Furnace. I used the AOSP version, not sure if I should've used stock. Before I flashed it, I tried to wipe the cache. It was taking about 5 minutes so I force rebooted it. After I did that, my phone would be on the LG boot screen for about 3 minutes (before it was about 5 seconds) then I would see the CM boot screen. Overnight I tried wiping the cache again. When I woke up, I was on the lock screen. I flashed Furnace and then I was stuck on the LG boot screen. I went back into recovery and tried resetting to factory or whatever it's called and it took awhile to format /cache but it eventually did. Still, I was stuck on the LG boot screen. For some reason I thought installing a new recovery would help (I had CWM before). I pushed a TWRP recovery file for my device to my phone. I then put this command in the adb shell: dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery (recoveryfilename.img was replaced with what it was named). I rebooted into recovery from the old recovery, and on the top left it said secure booting error. I tried restarting and booting into recovery, no luck. Now I'm not really sure how to flash a new recovery because I can't get into recovery. I'm pretty sure to fix my booting problems I need to reflash CM, which will flash CM's kernel...?

Also, when I try to use fastboot commands on my computer, I get ERROR: could not get pipe properties

Can I use adb while it's in this boot state? Please help!

By the way, I'm using a mac :(

Edit: Looked around on the Furnace Kernel thread, I guess I used a too new version of the kernel for CM11...

It can't finish the flash. I used earch recovery. Can anyone help?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
I used twrp 2.7.0.0 to flash it, and I experienced no problems.

Re-download the zip and try again.

Can you provide a log about the flashing process?

Hi, I'm new here and new also to rooting etc.

I have successfully unlocked and rooted my M7 and using TWRP recovery.

I am under the impression you can't update OTA when rooted, I would like a standard ROM with sense 6, but I just have a couple of questions....

1. Could someone supply a link to the best stable Sense 6 ROM suitable for an unlocked UK M7?

2. Could you also explain how to install the ROM using some not too technical language :)

Thanks for your help

Ben
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twerg:
I cant tell you much as I am using Miui rom and i have killed an M7 a while back but Viper ROm is the best I have used and that is Sense 6. Bare in mind I have not used a Sense 6 rom at all but last Viper i used was 5.5 and it was great.

There is Android Revolution HD, im not sure if this is Sense 6 but is is a custom rom as close to stock that you can get.

Just download the ZIP and enter your receovery and flash, it is simple as. Just dont wipe internal SD card..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodyniceben:
So I download the zip file on my computer, where do I save it on my phone, bearing in mind it doesn't have an SD card?

Thanks for your help by the way :)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiraYahiroz:
Just place it on the internal memory of the phone. Don't put it in any folders. Then boot into TWRP, select "Install zip from SD card" (the internal space paritition is labelled as "sdcard" due to the way android works), find the zip and install it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodyniceben:
Awesome, I guess I don't delete the original ROM then?

You would be well advised to make a back up of your original rom first. If something goes wrong you can go back to it, may be hard to find it on the web if you dont.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nateboi81:
Best advice. Do a nandroid backup of your Rom now and try a few different ones. Personally I like android revolution hd. If you are going to try that use twrp 2.6.3.3. It doesn't like other versions very much

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triadd:
I know you've asked for sense roms, but I would definitely give some aosp roms a try. I've always liked aosp better. That said, it seems like development for this phone leans more towards sense based roms and definitely sense kernels. Only a couple of aosp kernels to choose from. I'm new to this phone (switched to Tmo a couple months ago and didn't want to buy a new phone on payments), but I was disappointed to see that after being out for a year the aosp development was somewhat lacking.

[Hardware Hacking General] lindarne:
Does anyone have any thoughts on the latest models of Android AIO's?

Personally I'm falling in love with the ideer of having a huge android on the angled table in front of me.

Many of them also doubles as an external touch screen for a pc with easy switching between function modes.

The one I look to buy is an acer DA223hql from amazon.de.

It's a bit pricey, and only has one gig of ram, but the size seems good for my reach and I like the 1080p resolution.

No argument that higher resolution is better like the acer TA272HUL's 2K or Lenovo ThinkVision 28's 4K, but those are both out of my price range and to big for for comfortable use.

The DA223hql seems to be the best compromise so far.

In my searches I stumbled upon a maintenance manual on Lenovos website which shows how to disassemble and replace the ram and hard drive on the Lenovo N308, and the components look like regular pc parts which makes me druel of the thought of a cheap Tegra 4 device backed by 4 gigs of ram and 1 - 1.5 TB of built in storage.

But the N308 is a 1600x900 TN panel with IR dual touch, and rumor has it that third party file explorers can't access the hard drive.

So I'm not sure i could live with those limitations.

I've not yet been able to find any reviews on the DA223hql and it seems to only be on sale in Germany so far, but several times my fingers have clicked the "add to cart" button.

I've just not been able to click "proceed to checkout" yet.

Please, someone give me some insight into these AIO's.

I trust android to be right for me in this category.

I trust that 18-22 inches is a good size if placed correctly.

I don't have much trouble living with android 4.1 or 4.2

I can manage to live with one gig of ram, though more would definitely be nicer.
[Hardware Hacking General] miked63017:
don't have much input, but they are tempting me too. I may be wrong but I think android is currently maxed out at 2gb of ram and cannot handle any more. If you get one lemme know what you think, I am hoping it would be better than a chromebook experience.
[Hardware Hacking General] lindarne:
Just ordered an acer DA223hql :)

As far as I know android is based off of a 32 bit Linux system and is able to address up to 4gb ram.

probably 5.0 will be 64 bit which should allow ram in the terabyte range, not that I think anyone would need more than 2-3 gigs for a long time.

My Note 3 has 3 gigs, the LG G3 comes in a model with 2 gigs, and one with 3 gigs.

The Acer I've ordered has only one gig, which in my experience means I'll need to manage how much I'll have open at once.

A bit annoying but what's a guy to do.

With a little luck the ram will be replaceable.

Apart from that, the snapdragon 600 should be plenty fine for running a mostly stock android.

Unless of course the software is poorly optimized.

Not much hardware in the world can save you from poor software.

That's the scary part of being an early adopter.

At least it's not Acer's first attempt at this, so they have a little experience.
[Hardware Hacking General] miked63017:
4 gb would make sense since it is just a 32 bit linux after all. Not sure where, but I read the 2gb thing somewhere previously. I had heard that most of those aios also used standard ddr3 so my guess is that it should not hurt to try. With the extra hdd thing, I'm sure the problem could be solved via software. Most apps on a stock kit kat build cannot write to the ext sdcard, might be the same problem you heard about regarding the added hdd.

Anyway lemme know when it comes in, if you have root and an unlocked bootloader I will most likely order one too.
[Hardware Hacking General] lindarne:
It'll unfortunately take a few weeks to get here.

I'm Danish but live in Cyprus.

Sadly Amazon.de wouldn't ship it to me down here, so I had to order it to my dad's address in Denmark and then when it arrives there he'll forward it here.

Sucky way but at least I'll get the one I want.

As for the limited access to the hard drive in the Lenovo model, I have no idea.

It runs 4.2 JB so it can't be the kitkat thing.
[Hardware Hacking General] canezila:
Did you get it?

I was thinking about doing similar but ended up getting tab pro 12.2.
[Hardware Hacking General] lindarne:
Got it, yes

And have been playing around with it for a few days.

Here's the quick and dirty of it.

First of all the screen, as nothing about it is as prevalent when dealing with a 22 inch tablet.

It's bright and with excellent viewing angles.

Resolution is a bit on the low side considering I watch it from about a foot and a half away.

The snapdragon 600 happily chugs along on a nearly vanilla built of Android.

There is a tiny bit of lag here and there, but I chug that up more to the single gig of ram.

An interesting little side note is that the screen Wakes up when touched, so no need to fumble the side for the on-off button.

The 16 gigs of built in storage fills up quickly so an SD card is definitely a must.

As the port is a full size SD you have the opportunity for cheap and really fast cards.

I have my eyes on a 128 gig, so I can get my 64 gig micro back in my phone.

Another way to do it is to mount a USB drive, but that option is better as a secondary.

It easily reads both exFat and ntfs, so no problems with my old 750 gig USB drive.

Another side note: a big USB drive will be good for videos.

Remember that I said that I sit close to the screen?

Well the negative side of that is that ANY lack of quality in my movies show up like sitting a few yards from a nuke.

I'll need to upgrade much of my media to 1080 versions with a good bit rate. Wich incidentally means I'll need more storage.

The problems of the developing world, right?

But playing a high quality movie right in my face is awesome though.

The speakers are OK, and more than enough at my distance.

For acting as a music system I have it connected to a Phillips Bluetooth speaker, which works fine.

The biggest problem with audio is watching movies with 5.1 on stereo speakers.

You turn up the audio to hear what they are saying, only to wake up the whole house as soon as any action starts.

Maybe someone can suggest a cheap and compact surround soundbar? I don't have room for a full speaker system.

Or would a small 5.1 amp with just the 3 front speakers connected be enough?

Mostly I just need the center channel so I can hear the dialog.

Unless it gets updated to "L" it's options for audio out is pretty much limited to a mini jack.

That's as much as I have time for now.

Later I hope to get into the issues of multi tasking like floating apps and the likes.

Bonus: towelroot worked flawlessly on this one. Full root privileges, but don't forget to install superuser yourself.

towelroot

Hi

I got mind yesterday too and I agree with your statement.

It is a valid device...but when you say

I would like to agree too, but for me towelroot does not work.

Can you help? I rooted many devices so far but I can not came up with this one....

Thanks in advance

silvio76
[Hardware Hacking General] lindarne:
Should not be complicated. I hope...

I installed this apk: https://www.dropbox.com/s/a2h75gcp8y1r6us/TowelRoot.apk

Ran it once.

It rebooted my system.

I installed supersu, and updated the binary.

And it was done.

Have not posted a link here before, so if there is any problems pm me and I'll mail you the link or file.

I'm not next to my acer right now, so if you need to know it's firmware version I'll have to check it later.

But start with the towelroot I used.

Hope it helps.

Regards, Arne
[Hardware Hacking General] silvio76:
hi

I will give it a try thanks.

Be advised 128 GB SD card is not supported....

Keep in touch

Silvio76 :)

EDIT it works with towelroot v1, I was using v3.....

Thanks again....
[Hardware Hacking General] lindarne:
No problem.

Did you try a 128 card?

Often when they write the card size limit is to avoid customers calling them and asking the where to get a "1 terabyte card" that the written specs say would work.

But it is a micro SD-XC port and unless Acer screwed something up or set a deliberate limit, the SD-XC standard reaches all the way to 4 TB, though I doubt that we'd find such any time soon.
[Hardware Hacking General] silvio76:
Hi

Yes

tried a brand new Kingston 128 gb , no luck ,

formatted with a Windows pc , no luck,

partioned at 64 GB, then formatted and it works...

May be it is my card....but is strange....
[Hardware Hacking General] lindarne:
Scary news.

Did you try to format it from an Android device?

When I first bought a 64 card for my original Note I had to format it in the phone before it would read it.

But I also saw a guy Frankenstein'ing his Note 2 to run a 256 GB card, and that one is rated for 64 gig max...

Of course to connect a full sized SD to a phone you need a special adapter.
[Hardware Hacking General] silvio76:
Hi

I tried from the Acer Da223hql at first but formatting was an endless process....it took about 20 minutes before I surrended...and switched to Win8 for the format operation. But then the card was not readable for the Acer....so I went for the partitioning.

I suspect that 64gb is the maximum allowed on this machine...

If you want more details here I am...

Silvio76

---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------

I also use this device as an external touchscreen monitor for a win8 laptop and it is great...

works without a glitch....

On the Android side I installed Floating apps and Floating Browser, so I take advantage of the large screen...

Try it
[Hardware Hacking General] lindarne:
And the hits just keep on coming.

Dared to take it apart today (pretty scary), and it turned out that the ram is not replaceable.

Live with the gig you have.

Ah well, it was a good dream though, 4 gigs...

Have mounted a 3tb USB drive though, with no trouble what so ever.

And I connected my laptop to the hdmi for the first time.

It works but has some weird behavior.

The picture shrunken but the touch sensor works correctly, so the further from the center I touch the more offset it registres.

Both my acer and my laptop run at 1080p, and I set it to mirroring.

The laptop days it's sending 1080p at 60 hz and the Acer says the received signal is 1080/60 so I don't see the problem.

The Acers settings screen does have a section marked by a square with arrows going out. But it ain't selectable.

Haven't seen manual resizing since crt and analog monitors anyway.

Any ideas?
[Hardware Hacking General] silvio76:
Hi

you are very brave trying to open it!

As far as I know these devices (based on Qualcomm Snapdragon) have integrated/soldered RAM, so I never thought to check it by myself.

By the way 1Gb is plenty in my opinion, then it depends what kind of application you have in mind (photo editing and such can be memory killer)

As external touch monitor it worked fine for me. I have a 2in1 Asus Transformer Book Win8 based and I use the extended desktop mode.

The Acer was immediately recognized as a monitor and touch input device. No issue with screen resolution and/or its alignement.

Would you like to try that setup and see if works well? If no may be is your Acer that does not work properly.

I did not touch any setting on the OSD menu.

Furthermore I installed Xposed frameworks+XHalo floating windows manager and now I have a Windows-like multitasking.....check it, it's worth the test. Several windows at the same time (Chrome, terminal emulator, Youtube) and no lag.....unbelivable.

Looking for your comments

silvio76
[Hardware Hacking General] lindarne:
Thanks on the bravery comment :)

Just sad it was fruitless.

I feel limits when moving my big files around in the background , and think more ram would have eliminated that.

But I'll live with it.

My laptop is an Asus u38n (the ultrabook with an AMD instead of Intel).

It connects fine to our TV without the weird scaling.

I guess I'll try sending Acer a mail and see if they have some advice.

I've only just started experimenting with the multi window funktions.

Juggling 50 hour work week with being a husband and father sometimes means that things move slower than I'd like.

But even without multi window I am pretty happy with it.

I knew from my wife's old gPad that the snapdragon 600 is no slouch.

Do you know a popup client for hangouts that works the way chatheads for Facebook messenger works?

I don't use Facebook much but love that concept.

Just haven't found a hangouts client that does it that elegant.
[Hardware Hacking General] silvio76:
Hi

Being an husband and a father myself I fully understand :)

Concerning labour hours, my yesterday working day ended after 14 hours, so......I'm done! But we are lucky to have a job nowadays.

Back on topic I'm not a Facebook user, neither my wife, therefore the only app I can suggest, which can have similar functionality, is Lilypad Hd.

You can find it on Playstore. Hope it will suit your need!

Cheers

[Hardware Hacking General] lindarne:
Interesting little tid bit.

I needed to empty out my 64GB micro SD and chose to format it in my note 3 (running stock).

After formatting the acer told me that it was faulty and offered to format it.

I chose yes and like yours it just stood there for half an hour with no result.

So I put it in my laptop and formatted it from there ending up with the same "faulty" message.

So finally I put used my original gNote (running CM11) now there is no problems.

somehow, somewhere, there is a difference in the way different devices do it
[Hardware Hacking General] silvio76:
Hi in my experience Samsung Android devices have "bad" attitude in respect of vanilla Android.

They probably have some changes in the code which are not limited to the interface (TouchWiz), resulting in incompatibilities.

This is the Android fragmentation people often blame.

However when I formatted the SD card in my laptop, the Acer accepted it without assle.

I would try again formatting the SD with the PC and see if this happen again....sometimes magic happens ;)

silvio79
[Hardware Hacking General] lindarne:
I was trying to say that I found a positive result from formatting my card in another device, and maybe it would help your acer accepting your 128 gb card if you format it with another phone or tablet. (USB otg plus a card reader).

Getting recovery mode

I'm having a problem right here, the 223 isn't starting android. I want to get in the recovery mode, but trying to find the right hardware button combo's is almost impossible. Even the tech-guys from Acer don't know it. Anyone who can tell me what to do?
[Hardware Hacking General] lindarne:
sorry for being late here.

this month is just cracy.

do you still have the problem?

i've never tried to boot into recovery on the 223, but i'll try to find the way if i'm not too late.

usualy it is one or both of the volume buttons + power.

i'll post again if i find the trick.

mine by the way is having severe trouble with the touch digitizer.

it's lost all sensitivity.

i can get it back by completely powering down and waiting 15 mins before turning it on again.

but it only lasts a few mins and then gradually loses sensitivity again.

works everytime and dies shortly after everytime.

anyone know anything about this and if there is a fix?
