Is their any problem with rfs with CM rom ?

Anyone help me to understand that, whats the benefits a user gets by install a CM rom over a normal custom rom ? why all run behind only CM ? why ?? tell me the difference .
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] TheFixItMan:
you must be on ext to run cm - why? because cm kernels use ext so you cant run it on rfs

and if you want to know the features of cm over stock rom best to google features of each version or goto

Newbie here.

Just took the leap - went from WebOS to CM11 via TP Toolbox.

I have no wifi connection when in Android 4.4.2. It works in WebOS.

Home router uses WPA security. If this issue was addressed in previous versions, please point me to the right discussion topic.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I have several HPTPs' and I just did one with V4.1. I can not get it to connect. Out of about 8-10 units that I have used the toolbox on , this is the first time that I have had issues. Maybe some one can chime in with some fixes. I know it is not the toolbox or the rom, it has to be in settings or the unit itself.

how do I change my sprint galaxy s5 csc code from xas to spr. I've tried the firmware from sammobile.com but the one that shows spr iy still coms out as xas.

Can some one please help?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] euklid:
Hey I figured out a way to change CSC code, I was having the same problem you were after I flashed back to stock ND2 from Sammobile and my CSC code was changed to XAS, this is why it wasn't showing the sprint boot logo.

1. You must root your phone first.

2. Install Busybox http://d-h.st/A2j

3. Run this APP: http://d-h.st/492 (select SPR and then INSTALL).

4. Your phone will reboot into recovery and do a FACTORY RESET and CSC will be SPR.

**MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP BECAUSE EVERYTHING WILL BE WIPED**.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcayey:
You can also use your EFS backup, if you have it available, that'll fix the problem too that's what I did thanks anyway.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] materoprodutions:
Hello everybody. I've been flashing custom roms for a while now and I've never had this problem. I would like to make a twrp backup of my current rom and try another one, I've done this in the past but now I'm having some trouble doing it, and I'm not sure what's wrong. On my phone I have 5.5gb free, my apps total are 2.6gb and my other media in the SD card partition are about 4gb.. Now when I try to make a backup in twrp it comes out like 6gb which really to big to keep on the phone. I always remembered that all the backups I did where around 2.8gb so I don't understand what's wrong. I would like to backup my rom with apps and settings and exclude my SD card partition since even if a rom doesn't boot and I do a clean wipe doesn't get erased... Any ideas? I'm on the latest twrp...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QUIETLYloud:
Perhaps you should delete your old backups and choose to compress backup
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrFredPhD:
TWRP doesn't support excluding things afaik, you could always make a backup of just /system with TWRP and use 'adb backup' to do your apps.

I usually use 'adb backup -all -apk -nosystem' as this works without root and will backup all user apps + data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] blaze413:
So finally fed up with Tmo, not by fault of their own but Asurant insurance is destroying me and I have a $500+ phone bill for the second time in a year.. Not really trying to stand for that anymore so I am trying to attempt my first unlock.

Pretty comfortable with rooting romming etc but with unlocking I keep hitting walls. Main one being not having a non knox rom.. I have tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2780006 but still cant get the right rom and every old school one I try doesn't have the proper "PERSO SHA256 OFF" options in the debug menu...

Sorry if this is a little long winded and I am open to any suggestions anyone might have if I'm coming off noobish and there is another way..

Thanks

Update 1 : Found the odin firmwares (happy to share if anyone needs for whatever).. Still open to suggestion or input if anyone has some..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] OriginalGabriel:
I'm at a bit of a loss as to what you are wanting to do; if insurance is killing you, then opt out.

If you're looking to change carriers, from what I remember a law was recently (within the last few years) making if illegal for carriers to charge to unlock a device (after all, its yours).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] blaze413:
I was unaware of this law

but currently making so much progress and headway with getting this thing unlocked.. I have it down to stock and I am working out the debug alright getting closer..

All I'm trying to do is get my phone working on net10 (any suggestions on other good carriers?)

I was a G1 homie, been away from this for a bit but having a lot of fun diving back in..

Update : pretty sure im unlocked now, is there any way to check without another carriers sim? I don't have one handy and don't wanna buy into net10 and get a sim if my previous mission wasn't successful

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
I think without another carrier's SIM you can't be completely sure. I say that because, if I remember right, back when I unlocked I had all the right info in all the right places in the service menu. When I put my Net10 SIM card in it was still locked. I ended up having to buy an unlock code and revert the settings back to the "out of the box" state before the unlock code would actually work.

On a related note; Net10 has done me pretty well so far; been with them a little over a year now. Been all over NW Florida, Alabama, and most every state between here and Minnesota; only dead spot I really hit and stayed in was about an hour on the interstate between Iowa and Missouri. I am running off AT&T's towers, so wherever AT&T has LTE, I also have it.

With auto-renew set, Net10 is almost exactly the same price as Straight Talk; and I still get unlimited everything; though I've never gone much over 2GB of data, so I can't say if they definitely throttle or cut data off completely after a certain point. Speeds vary between 15-30Mbps down and about 10-15Mbps up on LTE, but lets be honest; unless you're using your mobile data as a hotspot or routinely download large files, do you really notice a difference on a mobile device?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] blaze413:
thanks geiss

Thanks for the info.. I just ordered a "Tmobile micro sim on ATT network" from net10.. I think at the end of the day I'll go with the $50 plan.. I use my phone for music in the car but that aside from browsing reddit I don't use bandwidth..

As for IMEI checker, my phone is not blacklisted BUT I don't think its working accurately considering I am not getting service from Tmo.. I told them I was gonna jump ship and my phone was cut off maybe an hour later.. Really sucks cause I like Tmo (compared to VZ etc)..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hristopelov:
NET10? lol you couldve got the newly priced prepaid $40 a month unlimithed everything plan from T-Mobile... unlimithed talk, txt, and internet, 500MB at LTE speed then throtted down to 2G but still unlimithed... no tax.. $40 flat...

and your IMEI will be blocked, it takes up to 2 weeks to get blacklisted.. something that sucks because thays how people steal/find phomes and still are able to sell on craigslist before they get blocked.. search craigslist for IMEI repair arrownd you when that happens, itll cost you $40-$50.. people are able to flash that now days..
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gourab4u:
Hurrah..;)

As I promised, Take this goodie from me. Another Stock Kitkat. This is based on F180L firmware.

This is only flashable via Philz Recovery. No other recovery is supported as of now.

Statutory Warning: It is your phone. Do not blame me for anything. I am not responsible for any harm you do to your device.

Most things are fixed. It includes Stock music app, Stock boot animation from LG(I really like this!). Integrated vu talk with the contacts app. Knock Off support, Three finger Slide, OSP and many more things you will just love,

This is just a test version, so some things do not work!

1st when you install the rom, the1st screen greets you with English, suddenly this changes to Korean(it might be other also). Again change to English in the same page. Then it fixes to English.

2nd Root does not work. You have to flash SuperSu

3rd MTP SD card is not working. means when connected to computer, the SD is showing as blank. Media scanner is also failing. Will see this soon.

4th, 5th, 6th you report...

Now the detailed steps:

1. Flash Philz recovery

2. Flash Stock KK Thanks to [MENTION=3600083]Level99[/MENTION] for the hosting.

3. Flash SuperSu

4. Enjoy and report bugs!

Below is the version 2, the deodexed rom with lots of goodies from lg g3.

Deodexed Stock Kitkat

Flash this for SD Card fix Thanks to [MENTION=5906953]knight4frat[/MENTION]

One small suggestion [MENTION=4331900]gourab4u[/MENTION] can you put the md5 check-sum of the file, that way i and others can check if the ROM is downloaded correctly before flashing, and thank you again!

Did u face any problem with WiFi ? i tried porting the ROM and WiFi wasn't working ... even Logs were not helping in figuring out the things

EDIT : For getting pics , music in gallery & music player from external SD , download app "SD Scanner" From Market ,

Open it & change the path to scan from "storage/emulated/sdcard0" to "storage/sdcard1"

Let the scan complete .. u'll be able to see all the stuff from External SD & also some stuff will be accessible in computer

via MTP Mode ...

[AT&T LG Optimus G] gourab4u:
Thank You. If I were to upload again, then I would probably go mad!!

Do you have any idea, when the link will be active again?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gourab4u:
You can try my rom, once it gets mirrored. No problem like that in my rom. I too use Windows 8.1
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dr.nakum:

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happy_todd:
Hello everyone,

I have done quite a bit of research over the past few days but I am quite overwhelmed and confused, I thought I will post my questions here as I am now a proud owner of a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact.

I ended up winning a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact from a work competition just the other day, before then I was using my iPhone 4 ever since it came out. I have never owned an Android device, I wish to root it mostly to theme the device. I have tried the Themer application in the Playstore which is fantastic in it's own right, but it doesn't let me create my own. I'm a huge Apple person and I ended up Jailbreaking all my iDevices so I wish to get some of that power out of my Android phone.

1. How harmful is it to root, unlock bootloader etc?.. I would imagine it is no different than Jailbreaking.

2. Am I able to store absolutely everything on the SD card when it comes to applications and tweaks?

3. Is it possible to remap the physical buttons to do other things?

4. I have came across Cyanogen quite a lot, is it stable and will I notice any speed issues compared to stock OS?

5. Is there a "Tweak store" of sorts to download all the extra stuff after rooting the device, similar to "Cydia" for iDevices?

I would really appreciate some assistance, I do apologize once again for being extremely new. It's just a little complicated when you hear there are so many versions of Android and rooting tools for individual devices!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyleSforza:
Hi, I do not own the device but I've been in Sony and Android ecosystem for quiet long. So I can probably answer most of your questions. :)

1. Its not harmful at all! In fact since Sony devices don't get hard bricked you can't go wrong with it!

2. You can, once rooted! Ofc, you'll need mod of some kind.

3. Yup!

4. Speed issues? Probably not! But you might lose several functionalities, major one being the Camera quality. As Sony camera works as great as it is on stock only.

5. This forum is your tweak store. ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happy_todd:
Thanks for getting back to me very quickly. I did not know Sony devices cannot get hard bricked. So you're saying whatever I do to it software wise, I cannot not physically render the phone useless?

How bad is the camera quality once you root? is it very noticeable, are people trying to improve the quality?

I will definitely have browse this forum more, is there a particular place you would suggest or should I just stay in the Z1 Compact thread?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegastarr:
I've been using Sony (ericsson) devices since forever and I can tell you you'll love it. About the brick - feel safe. Whatever goes wrong with the phone just flash the original stock FTF firmware via Flashtool and your phone is like new. It's not necessary to switch to CyanogenMod as Sony's firmware is very smooth and fast on our devices thanks to the hardware and the lower resolution. You can just root and install one of the stock based roms in the development section. No need to unlock and you can get 4K video and 120fps slow motion video without losing picture quality :)

Edit: You don't lose quality when you root. Sony uses bionz image processor which requires the bootloader to be locked to work. If you unlock your BL you will have pictures with colder colors (from my observations) and more noise since Bionz is not processing the shots.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happy_todd:
No loss of picture quality, that's contradicting with what KyleSforza said. If something did go wrong with the device, and I flashed back to the original stock FTF firmware, will it leave traces of the root on my phone in case I had to send the handset back for warranty repair or anything?.. Also how does one obtain the original stock firmware, would that be in the development section or on Sonys website somewhere? Thanks so much! :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegastarr:
Look my edited post, I have explained why picture quality gets bad. As long as you use stock based firmware on locked bootloader (BL) you will not lose quality. About the warranty - I think rooting does not drop it but unlocking the BL does. You need to read some of the threads in this section before doing anything. When you flash the FTF everything goes back to stock and you will lose the root. As long as you BL is locked and you are on stock firmware your warranty is not voided.

Edit: You can find FTFs in the development section as well :)

I am using CyanogenMod and it is obviously better than Sony stock ROM.. Just two issues I have faced on CyanogenMod.. Sound volume is very low and camera quality is also bad.. Except these two, everything is more stable than stock ROM..

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iruwen:
I don't see where CM is "obviously" better, stock ROMs lack functions but a rooted stock with Xposed is pretty close to some third party ROMs. As Coirpre already said, that's a matter of personal preferences. And CM is far from being more stable than any stock ROM. E.g., last time I tried CM and all ROMs based on it completely prevented using encryption because the sensors didn't work. Tethering's also still broken iirc, among several other things judging by the corresponding thread.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolkoushik07:
tethering is working in cm latest nightly.. in stock rom there is over heating prob, notification sound stuttering prob, 'while playing hd games cant charge phone' bug, is that u call a stable rom? lol.. also i am getting better battery backup on cm... u must be a light user and u can only realize these issues on heavy usage..

Hi,

camera aside, cm is great. It has lots of customization options and as long as you don't use your phone as MAIN camera device this is the rom for you. However, if you use this 20mpix beast then don't bother with CM. The second someone manages to port stock camera or implement camera as good as stock, cm will win most of users. Again, final decision is up to the user.

Recently for no particular reason, my image gallery now shows ALL of the picture in my phone. Thumbnails from reddit app, pics from my boot sequence, etc. I have a Bell SGH-I747M running the lastest CM11 snapshot (the june one). Now i searched on google and couldn't find anything that can fix the problem. I've uploaded some picture for you guys.

Try turning off Photos Sync, Picasa Sync and auto upload by Google +, Facebook and so on.

Turn off any photo syncing and after that make sure you delete the gallery cache.
[XDA Assist] CaughtOnTape:
Unfortunately, everything was already turned off. I turned it on then off again thinking that it was bugged, but nope. Folders are still there. When i delete them and quit the gallery app, they just come back again.
[XDA Assist] Razvan:
MediaScanner is not running correctly , thanks [MENTION=4229457]It_ler[/MENTION] for the hint. :highfive:

On some devices, connecting/disconnecting of the USB cable triggers the MediaScanner.

Here Rescan Media app from Play store to simply call the system's MediaScanner process.

If you don't want that the Gallery to show pics from special folders you can try to place a file called ".nomedia" into the folder(s).

Then trigger the media scanner again.
