[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gloris:
"best" rom type questions are not allowed for some reason....people are really jumpy about stuff like that round here :\ so best to just try things and see what suits you best. i've tried SO MANY now, but personally nothing has beaten stock rom rooted to remove bloatwares manually and apply allbacksblack and sound boost, then unroot (or keep root and use system tuner or similar to really maximise battery).

for battery boost, what i did was to use root explorer to find 2 files in the system/etc/snd_soc_msm/ folder. they are snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 and snd_soc_msm_x2_Fusion3_auxpcm. copy those to your pc and edit them in notepad++

find every line that is labelled "Digital Volume" and replace the xx.x% with whichever higher value you want. I find that around 69-70 works best, but it probably depends on your headphones etc and how much they can take.

anyway, once that's done, copy it back to your system/etc/snd_soc_msm/ folder (replacing what's there, BE SURE TO TAKE A BACKUP SOMEWHERE FIRST THOUGH) and set permissions to rw-r--r--

reboot and you're all set.

::EDIT::

Found a really easy way to make these edits with notepad++

- Copy all files from the snd_soc_msm directory to your mem card (and then to your pc).

- Open all files with notepad++

- Click search then replace.

- In the "find what" box type:- ([0-6][0-9].[0-9])%

- In the "replace with" box type:- 69.7%

- Click replace all in all open documents.

- Close notepad++ and save all changes.

- copy the edited files back to the /system/etc/snd_soc_msm/ folder

- set permissions to rw-r--r--

- reboot (optional? into recovery and clear cache/dalvik)

- enjoy louder sound :)

Using this method you don't have to painstakingly search through the sound files to find all the values that need to be replaced, the search string will find all % values that are between 00.0% and 67.9% and replace them all with 69.7%

I find that if you go above 69.7% it tends to just distort the sound, this value, for me gives the best boost while still retaining audio quality.

OK, if your request is to loud the speaker output volume for ringtone and music this was easy with 4.3 Roms but 4.4 is may be different.

Relevant thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2274033

Other way (what I am using with my current 4.3 custom rom) is to find a custom rom able to work with Persus kernel and synapse tool. That allow you to set the speaker volume at +9db max. (very loud!)

May be other solution are available but all are with root because system file should be modified.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MamomaN:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Valentinez:
So, I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 Running Cyanogenmod 10.2.1, and I'd like to trick it into thinking my 64GB SdCard is the Internal Memory.

So far, by using Script Manager, and this Code:

busybox mount -o remount,rw /

busybox mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:33 /mnt/shell/emulated/0

busybox mount -t exfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:33 /mnt/shell/emulated/0

if busybox mount | busybox grep vold/179:33; then

busybox mount -o bind /data/media /mnt/sdcard1

fi

I put it here: /system/etc/init.d

And tested it here: /data/

Running this makes all my apps stop working, and after a minute can no longer access the settings even.

When I plug it into a computer however, it is reading my Internal storage as the 64GB Card.

Any help is Appreciated!

This is some code I found and edited, so I'm not entirely sure of the Mechanics behind it.

Here are the Credits:

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmartViewYTC:
Good evening everybody,

I just read that accepting an OTA Update from Motorola results in a soft brick if your Bootloader is unlocked.

Does it only happen when upgrading from 4.0 to 4.1 or will it also happen, when updating from 4.1 to 4.4?

If it does, how can I upgrade without bricking my device? I know there is no KitKat ROM availble right now, but Motorola promised to release an KK update.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtr3m3:
It should be fine if you flash stock using RSD Lite and leave it untouched.

Ok now this is tough!

i receive an strange case from my friend.

His Hcl me tab 1.0 is locked due to wrong pattern attemps by his kid. this tab is wifi only

I do not see any way to retrieve this Tab due to the following

1) the kid doesnt know the email id he put to set up play store.

2) the tab is not connecting to internet

3) Usb debugging is not ticked

4) there is not recovery for this chinese tab.

is there any one on earth who can give me a solution to retrieve this tab?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pandasa123:
is there a bootloader that you can go to via power + vol down like HTC devices? if so, there might be a factory reset option

i have no idea if it'll work, but this is the best solution i could think of
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jacktackle:
thanks for the reply. but when i say there is no recovery that means no options in bootloader only the droid system logo plus it will not connect to adb at this point so cannot push any file to the tab.

most of the chinese tab's are coming without recovery so some people create recovery for such tabs via memory card. even someone have created for this tab also but for his bad luck, usb debugging is not ticked so he cannot push any thing.

i think the last option is to jtag but very less chances there could be software drivers to jtag this tab. all in all its dead story

First, you're in the wrong sub-forum. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-y would be closer to your device.

Now for your issue, it's most likely a bad battery. I would suggest getting a new one. You can also try to clear your battery stats (either in recovery or I believe there's an app that does it). Make sure that if you do that though, to make it go through a full cycle without charging or turning it off.

Hello, I am looking for a custom ROM which has not been rooted and has lots of customizable options. Does such a thing exist?

The only reason I do not want a rooted version is because my barclays banking does not work with root. Ive been using Purity for the past year but after checking out stock 4.4.3 I decided to try the banking app as I had chance. It makes life so much easier

So yeah basically, is there a none root custom rom with all the features for customizing ect...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You can remove root from any rom. /system/bin/su or system/xbin/su

ROMs like Slimkat can turn root on and off.

There are also other options to hide root. Root cloak for example
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
there are also many custom roms that you also have to flash su with. if you dont flash su, then you use the rom without root. its actually a fallacy that you need root to use custom roms/kernels. you dont need root to flash things in a custom recovery as well.

---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

only thing is that you wont be able to use functions that need root, like changing your cpu speed amoung some things..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Also if you are using SuperSU there's also the full unroot option. :silly:

Hi,

is it worth doing s-off? what is the benefits of doing this? some roms need s-off. is it actually worth doing this?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IINexusII:
if you don't know what s-off is and its benefits its best to stay away before you open another topic saying your phone is bricked. just my 2 cents.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
+1

If you don't need s-off then don't do it. With s-off you can write to any partition of the phone meaning you can change CID, MID, hboot, etc etc. this allows you to flash everything you want, i.e converting your carrier phone to a dev edition phone. With s-off you can easily recover from soft-bricked situation but you can easily hard brick your phone if you flash something wrong.

So as the other guy said, s-off only if you need it, if you understand what you are doing.

Anyway, on some hboot version, its very difficult to s-off, quite easy to do on 1.44-1.54-1.55

I searched the forum, and didn't find any solution for this problem.

The problem is I can connect to every network except my own. I can connect with my laptop to my network, my brothers computer connects fine to it, and the router never gave me any problems until now.

The router is a WRT54GX4, i am guessing it has something to do with the latest rom 2.26 not being able to connect to it because of the mimo "feature"

I heard that older qtek roms were able to connect to the router (could someone verify this?)

If they could connect could someone give me a link to an old compatible qtek firmware (i am sorta new to this and not sure which one would work)

Hey guys, I have an HTC One that is stuck in a boot loop after an OTA update to 4.4.3. What do I need to do/download to wipe the phone back to factory settings so it will work again?

S-ON, hboot is 1.55, and yes I have tried factory reset in the bootloader menu
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] hafizimtiaz:
You've got 4.4.3 update in OTA? Are you using Google Edition HTC One?

Bootloop after OTA generally results if your system is somewhat modified (like custom recovery or changed system files) and you forced install the OTA. You can flash stock RUU (exe or zip) and then try OTA again.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ExPwN:
I'm not sure what update it was, it's not my phone. The phone WAS completely stock however. I thought I have to have Soff to flash the RUU

After some googling, I found the RUU, but I have to flash hboot 1.44 which I can't do because S-On. The only way to make S-Off is to have the phone working. So this is just a giant brick now, unless there's a way to turn S-Off from fastboot.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] hafizimtiaz:
Have you tried flashing an RUU which has the same hboot as yours? I mean, if you try flashing a 4.4.2 RUU exe, what does it say? If exe fails, you can try RUU ZIP. although I am pretty sure that decrypted ZIP flashing requires s-off.

Apologizes if this has not been answered elsewhere, but I've done the proper searching and I just need clarification on what installing Super CID will allow. For example, I'm on Verizon in the US and would like to try the ElementalX-m8 Kernel while running VenomOne. When looking at the thread it explicitly says that it is not for the Verizon or Sprint variant; but will having Super CID, will this allow for me to install this kernel? I attached a photo showing the thread saying it's NOT for Verizon or Sprint.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an0ther:
No, verizon/sprint work different as they have different partitions. Super cid allows you to run ruu conversions from other variants of m8 like developer, att, gpe etc.. Never flash something that is not specifically for verizon. They have a couple kernels in the verizon forums.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droiduser1988:
Thank you. So what would be a reason for a Verizon or Sprint (I'm assuming any CDMA carrier) user to install Super CID?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an0ther:
Sprint has an harmon kardon ruu, so if you wanted a true conversion, you would need s-off and supercid or HK cid "this is for sprint only btw, do not flash this on your verizon." There is a verizon homemade RUU for unbricking which requires soff and possibly supercid. Other than that, not much
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dancrusher:

I received my Droid Razr from my uncle, and after doing a full factory reset, I found out it was still rooted from this article: Motorola Included a Root Check in the RAZR, RAZR MAXX, and DROID4 With Ice Cream Sandwich. He did not make a backup ROM. I really don't have a clue what to do in this situation, so I just thought to myself, "If I restore it to a previous version of Android ROM from the internet, I can just update to a newer one."
