[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EngineerMind:
It works great - thanks!

But do you have any documentation of which files needed to be changed?

I ask because even though this framework-res.apk was probably extracted from an NC5 build, I don't know if the NC5 build in my phone is identical to yours (except for the specific modifications you did). Maybe mine has had some other "patches"/changes applied to it - so I don't know if I use your modified copy of the framework, will it undo/revert those patches/changes and cause any problems? Should I extract my original file and just make the changes to it that you did to yours?

I am a programmer, so I know what I am doing, it's just that I am not an expert with Android OS in every aspect, so my concern could be invalid.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam3215:
Hi Guys

I attempted to root my i9100T (Australian telstra version) via odin and SuperSU as shown in mobilenetworkcomparison.org.uk/tutorials/rooting-and-installing-cyanogenmod-with-odin/#odin[/url

I backed up my phone first (after holding up, power, home), then ran superSU. I forgot to put the CyanogenMod ROM file on my SD card, so I rebooted just to see if the rooting worked. Now when I reboot the startup screen flashes with the yellow exclamation mark and does not boot.

I tried running the recover file several times and this does nothing.

I also tried doing a factory reset, nothing.

Can someone please help?

Stock rom from Samfirmware, flash with Odin (How ? You should already know this if you're modding your phone, but thread titled 'Flash stock firmware' stickied near top of Q&A has instructions) = clean slate.

Problems with Odin flash ? Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General has all the info you need to get a successful flash.

Edit - Also, you don't bump threads after 90 minutes. The S2 forums don't see anywhere near as much traffic as they used to, there is an ever dwindling number of people around to help other people, so when you make a thread, be patient & only bump once after 24 hrs.

Is there a way get the sense 6 camera app onto the gpe Rom. If so . How do I do it
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PunishedSnake:
You can get the apk on there but it needs sense to work
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haik0:
independent app

Is it at all possible to make that camera app as an independent (from Sense 6) app ? Or am I dreaming ? :D
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3484jacks:
Dreaming. It relies on the sense 6 framework which isn't included in GPE models. (AFIK)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haik0:
?!

I understand that part, where it relies on Sense 6, but how big is that dependence and how impossible is it to make that app work by it's own, like any other (sideloadable :) ) app ?

I mean I am not gonna handle this "issue" myself, but I do wanna have a clue how it works and how come it's that hard to do or maybe completely impossible ?!

This app is the only reason me and a lot other will not want to flash GPD on M8, cuz the camera is "bad" enough already to risk it, make it even worse :)) Otherwise HTC did a great job adding a lot of hardware support for M* in GPE rom.

Thanks

I was just thinking of that exact thread; as I remember when the dev posted it, and have linked to it several times in the past myself.

Technically its "possible" as almost anything is. But whether its "feasible" or not is a completely different issue. Basically no dev is going to put that kind of effort and time into something with not that much payoff; when you can just flash a Sense ROM.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maritimesbob:
I've recently gone back to stock after flashing the latest factory 4.4.3 image. I have xposed and gravity installed, however I miss the option to assign different icons to the navbar buttons.

I like to have a permanent menu button in place of the recent apps button, but with gravitybox installed I can only make the recent apps button become a menu button, however the icon remains as a recent apps icon if that makes sense.

Is there a mod available that allows a much wider ranging option for editing the navbar?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
I'm debating to move to the Z2 and I would very much appreciate any feedback from Z2 owners who have experience with the Note 3.

I am looking at the sound quality of the noise reduction in the headphones and the camera, which are two of the primary draws for me.

How does the sound and camera and overall speed compare in real world use?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanley08:
Former Note 3 user here! In a nutshell, the Z2 is better. ;)

Read my full honest review here - https://www.dropbox.com/s/mpxhmrbqc7dy6nk/Xperia Z2 FULL Review.txt
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
Thanks for the response.

Does the 20.7 MP superior auto hack reduce the quality of the shots over the standard 8MP size superior auto mode?

Those gaps you mentioned in the review have me worried. I would have thought Sony would have that worked out by now, after the Z1 had the same problems.

How can anyone trust the water resistance like this?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christoph_2013:
I will be picking this phone up tommorow, have you noticed any serious over-heating or 4K camera recording issues? i.e phone random rebooting while recording video?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smartphoner:
I was a former note 3 user and moved on to Z2.

A lot better software stability. More premium design and better handling regarding the smaller size compared to note 3. Unique amongst all samsung users. Waterproof mania and I've been using phones under water since xperia z. People informing they used it even with gaps and it's safe. Any pen stylus can be used and there is one made for sony (sony stylus es22). Camera is outstanding. 4k download is fun. Noise reduction is real. No need for opening flaps as magnetic charging does the job. Sound quality is really good inspite of the waterproof design. Only missing the IR blaster.

Overall u will never regret the switch!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] logzz:
yea I have both devices at the moment I will play around with both to see what I like most. but I think I will take the sony z2 over the note 3. The screen on the z2 is a lot better then the note 3 the colours are much better. The note 3 is a good phone but the z2 wins on a few more things then the note. As for the gaps tho on the z2 it is true you do get them I had to go through 3 of them before I got one with out gaps. But im very happy with it. And it is still waterproof even with gaps. But when paying 900 for a phone I do not expect there to be gaps between the frame and screen. Some people will be fine with it and some will not. But I can honestly say out of all the other phones I have had they have never had gaps between the frame and screen
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeartUnderBlade:
A lot of people with gaps of different sizes (including me) have taken the bullet and tested the waterproofing of the phone and we have all concluded that no gap has ever compromised the waterproofing. I've yet to see a report of someone saying the gap compromises the waterproofing of the phone. This is probably due to the construction of the phone as the plastic injection molding goes deeper into the phone and then sandwhiched by the glass.

I personally have experienced over-heating only when recording 4k video for longer than 7 minutes. I think for most, if not all, of the over-heating cases the camera app just shuts off. I don't think anybody's phone ever rebooted due to over-heating from recording 4k.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanley08:
I have not tried 4K recording, because i know i don't need it. But TBH, i never use my Video recorder really. Lol.

Very well said. IR blaster would have been nice. But oh well!

Haven't tested this mod excessively but i believe it would be noisy. Will tell u when i test. And AFAIK, water resistance is ok even with gaps.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharingspider:
I am a former Note 3 user - Also reviews would differ depending on the Note 3 variant used.

I have used N9005 LTE and I wont say switch is great. Handset is having lots of issues as discussed by users worldwide. Software crashes which is a common problem and thats the reason Sony till date has real poor reviews for the same. Phone is surely bulky and heavy compared to Note 3. Battery life is pretty much equivalent so no dramas there. Note 3 never heats (N9005 only) even with an hour of game play - Z2 surely does with 5 min camera usage too. Sound Output of Note 3 is way louder compared to Z2. Camera Z2 has a real good one No doubts about that. Build Quality also is pretty superb.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryland Johnson:
I owned the Note 3. Bitterly disappointed with it despite its being a very able mobile. It just didn't work for me. In terms of camera, cant help not my area of expertise. Now sound reproduction is another matter.

In terms of portable sound reproduction Sony started the ball rolling with their Walkmans decades ago. The quality of sound reproduction on most Sony mobile devices is above average to top quality IF one uses dedicated head phones. Here we go..........Headphones or speakers can only reproduce what the amplifier amplifies so the source and amplification are vital. Sony is a leading manufacturer in this area in terms of mobile sourcing and amplification, they have many years of experience and have more or less pioneered portable sound. To this end what we have in the Xperia range is very good amplification and when used with a hi-fidelity headphone those phones are able to take full advantage of the excellent source.

The Xperia Z2 comes with the Sony MDR-NC31EM noise cancelling head phones I am listening to them as I type this and yes they are more accomplished than the stock headphones bundled in most mobiles, better by far BUT..........There are far better still. I am not keen on ear bud type head phones. I prefer an over the ear 'open back' headphone like the Sennheiser PX-100-11. They simply amaze every time I use them and have become a reference point in reviewing other headphones despite their meagre price of around 40.00€ :good:

.

In terms of the ear bud type the Sennheiser CX-300-11 make the Sony ear buds sound amateur. Now if you can afford say 80.00€ the AKG K452 are designed for Android devices and are based on the award winning 450 and 451's They are also portable and come with their own carry case, they are closed back and not ear buds. The AKG can reproduce frequencies between 11-29500Hz, that's from very low base to very high treble! In comparison the Sony MDR's only manage 20-20000Hz meaning they cannot produce the full spectrum of sound frequencies the Z2 is capable off. I am generally not a fan of Sony headphones.

Please do accept that the type of sound you enjoy will not be the same as others. There are numerous brands of head phone and you are bound to find one that you enjoy. Main point is here the Samsung you mention on headphones produced a very decent sound BUT the Sony does produce a greater band width and more open stage to the music. As for the speakers or speaker on the phones themselves, neither are worth even listening to, having written that the Sony again leaves the Sammy dead in the water.

I hope I have been of some small help to you?

Best wishes, Ryland
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karnax_:
Well I went the other way, in that I bought a Z2 and gave it up for a Note 3. I will echo what everyone else is saying, the Z2 makes a mockery of the Note's sound, especially with those bundles headphones. Nothing I do to the Note will bring the audio close to the Z2's, I'd be very interested to hear from a Note user that managed to make good on the Note's audio.

The Z2's screen is better but I wouldn't say to a degree that I wouldn't let it impact on the decision to pick it up. We're talking about a significantly smaller screen with that damn navigation bar in place of the buttons. The camera on the Z2 is where it really shines for me. Photos and videos are simply phenomenal. If this matters to you then it's a no-brainer seriously.

It really depends if you're like me and stuck in your ways. I use the Note for work and constantly using the S-Pen for drawing layouts and switching to calculator, I also like my physical buttons. It didn't take me long to switch back for those reasons but I really struggled with the decision to give the Z2 to my girlfriend due to the quality of the audio and video/photo capture. The Z2 is a solid handset it just depends what you want to use it for I guess.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryland Johnson:
Indeed. It depends on ones prioritise and what one does with the mobile.

I was disappointed with the Note 3. My own fault, I made a pre sale purchase and was the first customer in this country to own one. What horrified me about the Note 3 was the plastic leather back with plastic stitching then the plastic chrome sides. No way could I live with the feel of that mobile despite its many other qualities.

Music is important to me and the Samsung on this occasion was awful. The original cost was 1100€ for the Sammy and the Gear watch. With that sort of outlay I expected better materials and construction than the Sammy offered.

If you need the S-pen the Sammy Note is THE phone to own. In that respect its rather unique.

I think when we purchase something we are going to use and hold every day we need to feel pride of ownership and with those plastics made to look like other materials no way could I stomach it. Maybe if the Note 4 is made from decent high end materials I would take another look at the Samsung range BUT as music is important to me it sort of rules out the present Samsung range.

Its great to have all this choice though :highfive: .

Ryland
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
Very helpful indeed. My question is this: Sennheiser CX-300-11 does not allow the noise cancelling features built into the device to function, but how do they compare in terms of noise reduction/isolation on their own?

The others are out of my price range at the moment, but the Sennheiser CX-300-11 might get me by.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryland Johnson:
Let me put is this way. When my dear to my heart wife starts to tell me off..............I just pop those in and its bliss. :D

They come with several sizes of rubber ear bud. When they are in the ear you cannot hear a word outside.

Noise cancelling is not always a good thing. This means the source of the music is not pure. The less distortion your music has the more natural the sound. Processing the sound, as in noise cancelation, is not something I would consider its much like the use of graphic equalisers they just made a mess of the original sound. Sony produce a very good source so I would not want it processed.

The Sennheiser is a very respectable head phone and through me many of my friends and family now own them. I fail to see how one could go wrong with an ear bud that price? I think you will be rather surprised. :highfive:

Let me know what you decide to do.

Ryland
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
I think I'll go for the Sennheiser CX-300-11 because it seems like a great option for me. I would prefer buds for portability. I wasn't aware of the model, but I do know and trust the brand.

How sensitive are they? I mean, can they be driven properly by the Note 3's sound hardware for the meantime while I decide what device (if any) to replace it with?

I'm torn between the LG G3, G Pro 2, or the OnePlus One, but the latter is not available without invite, and the former are rather expensive Korean imports at the moment.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlie460:
I went from the Note 3 to the HTC One M8 (for a few days) to the Xperia Z2 and couldn't be happier. I feel it's a huge upgrade for me, notably not having to deal with TouchWiz. Sony's Android UI is far nicer in my opinion. Battery life seems to be better than my Note 3 as well.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sennheiserx:
I came from the Note 2, but have used my friends' Note 3's extensively. Phone is really nice, the build quality, responsiveness, battery life, and stability are all nice. I did have a problem with my GPS in that it couldn't find my location once but restarting the phone fixed it. However, I will point out that the Note 2 and 3 are better for two handed texting, and the Z2 is great for 1 handed swyping. The speaker phone, because of the water proofing, is quieter and not as clear on the note 2, but has comparable quality to the note 3 speaker (although note 3 is louder). Z2 does get points for front facing speakers though, but flipping the note 2 face down while on speaker gave both parties better results.

Using the Neutron music app, (disgusting UI, but the BEST in sound quality) I found that the note 2 has better sound quality. There is a slight background noise, but that is diminished with moderate volume. Through hi-fi headphones, the note 2 has a better lows, the bass hits harder, with no bleed into the mid or high range. The Z2 has a bit of a bright but overall balanced sound. If you are a basshead then the note 2 is more preferable/fun to listen to but the Z2 is cleaner.

As for the UI, Sony has done a great job with keeping everything simple and clean. It's fast, responsive, and I have had no problems with lagging or hang ups. However, Samsung gives you more customization and even though it feels bloated some times, it lets me do what I need quickly and easily. Like changing the vibration intensity, blocking calls with acceptations, changing brightness in the notification area w/o going to the second tab, tapping the brightness icon, and then changing it. Stock Sony is limited, like stock Android.

Notification light under the speaker is sweet, I just wish it could be a little brighter/customizable. Screen is smaller and easier to reach across, but is lightly mitigated by the bezel size and ergonomics. The blacks are REALLY good for an IPS screen, and I don't notice much of a difference from the true blacks on the AMOLED screen, the colors are accurate yet still vibrant, which is great. The one thing lacking on the Sony screen is the viewing angles, which are OK and the screen is kinda reflective, but I can still see if I max the brightness under the brightest day.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TehArch:
So i updated my (not a year old) nexus 4 yesterday and today it died.

First off:

Ive never done any rooting, OCing or anything else fancy with my nexus, nor has anyone else.

Now, some time today the nexus got stuck in a bootloop, it was freshly recharged so it kept rebooting.

In the beginning full boots, after a while it got stuck at the 4 circles, later at the google logo, until now: completely dead, i suspect because of a drained battery.

I've been recharging the device for a few hours now, the red notification light keeps blinking and there's no hope for a (safe) reboot (yet)...

Any advice?

Do i keep charging it or is it a lost cause?

I'd rather not tinker with the device's internals, in case i would void the warranty.
