I dont think its passible because CM need a custom kernel and the custom kenel need UNlocked bootloader

Send from my Xperia™ Z (C6602) using tapatalk?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtweaker1:
Roms like CM,AOKP,PA,slimkat and so on use custom kernels for their respective roms

Custom kernels require unlocked booloader, if you try to flash custom rom in locked boodloader it will get in to a boot loop

You will need to unlock the bootloader (which WILL void your phones warranty) then flash any custom rom
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baga255:
I am aware of all of the above. That's why I suggested hijacking ramdisk (as they did on Xperia SP). That would enable us to load CM (or any other AOSP based ROM) on top of the stock Sony kernel.

At least that's how I understood it. You can check the thread I linked in the first post. The devs even posted the links to the source code of the ramdisk hijack method!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tmcb82:
So I rooted my GS4 with NC5 using the newly discovered towrelroot apk. I have since changed my mind and want to go back to complete stock. I went to sammobile.com and downloaded the full NC5 update and Odin 3.09 and followed the steps there and it said PASS. I have lost root but when I do vol down + home + power it still goes into the Odin recovery not the stock. How can I get the stock recovery back? Please help!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sambrooke:
That root did not effect the recovery. That is the stock recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tmcb82:
But it says Odin on the screen....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biglil1:
That button combo is to put the phone into download mode aka Odin mode. If you want recovery mode then volume up + power it'll vibrate then in the top left display recovery mode in blue letters let go of power button. It happens quickly sometimes so be ready to let go of power button. Once in on the top it'll say Android recovery . Don't panic if you see the green android before the recovery; that's normal

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Daniel_Lechu:
Hi there!!

I'm about to unlock my phone bootloader, and i wanna know some things about kernels:

Can i "downgrade" the kernel. For example from a KitKat kernel to Stock (Jelly Bean 4.1) Kernel?

Can i use a KitKat Kernel in a Jelly Bean Rom?

If Kernel have CWM recovery, it still working even if ROM stop working?

I know that in Linux you can update to the lastest kernel in same distro and don't matters, but Android is "special"...

Now i've CWM for locked bootloader and it is installed in ROM instead in Kernel, then if ROM is damaged CWM can stop working. I think if is included in Kernel then don't matters what happen in ROM, but I want to be sure.

Thanks!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 0bl1v10n:
I'm not really sure about question 1 & 2.

Answer for question 3:

Yes, the recovery should work even the rom is messed up.

Thats when bootloop happen .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ghassano015:
1- Each rom has a specific kernel so if you want to install a kitkat kernel you can't install a JB rom so if you want to downgrade you can only downgrade the version of the kernel !!!

2-As I mentioned above you can't

3-Yes because the kernel is not damaged in your case so CWM will be working with no issues !!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Daniel_Lechu:
Thanks!!!, for now i'm still using a JB kernel with JB Rom. Waiting for a full working port of xLoud ;)

[Nexus 4 General] cpanos:
Both the nexus 4 and the nexus 7 (2013) support slimport, which is very useful for mirroring the device to a big screen. However, neither device uses the standard 16:9 (1080p) aspect ratio. As a result, you end up with some cropping on a 1080p TV. For the nexus 4 it is even worse, since it outputs 768p upscaled to the TV's resolution.

However, the flexibility of android allows us to manually change the native resolution. In a console, we can type the command:

wm size 1080x1920

and the resolution will change. In the device screen the new resolution will look odd, however you now have true 1080p on the TV. To get back to the default resolution you type:

wm size reset

This solution works, but it is not very convenient. So I made two profiles for tasker, that automatically change the device resolution upon the connection of an HDMI cable and reset it when the cable is disconnected, thus automating the whole process.

I 'm attaching a screenshot of the two profiles, as well as a zip file so you can extract and import them in tasker.

In summary,

- you need root

- the HDMI plugged profile

reduces the device brightness to minimize battery consumption

increases volume

sets resolution to 1080p

enables WiFi

sets display timeout to 10 hours

activates display rotation

- the HDMI un-plugged profile

sets auto brightness back on

resets screen resolution

sets display timeout to 1min

These are optional settings that I found useful to automate, but they are all optional, and you can tweak them once you imported the profile to tasker.

I hope you find this useful!!! :good:

UPDATE: Your device must be set to a ppi lower than 288. I am using 286 myself. To change your ppi:

Open the build.prop file from /system/build.prop

using a text editor/buildprop editor app, change the value of ro.sf.lcd_density=286

save the file, reboot

dont work anymore

Thanks for sharing.. It worked for me in a long time but not it wont change anymore..

Do you know what i could get a conflict? have just installed apps and then last night i wont change resolution when i connect slimport and i cant seem to fix it
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Q8-V08:
Thanks for this, I tried testing the wm size reset command in terminal emulator but for some reason the navbar icons disappear and only come back when I Power Off and restart the device again, I'm on 4.4.4 if it makes any difference.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cpanos:
Make sure tasker is still active and root is working fine.

I don't have that issue, however I'm also running at a lower PPI than the default. I'll try it out at stock PPI and see if I have any issues with the navbar. What is your setup? ROM, xposed, etc.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Q8-V08:
Stock rooted, qc optimized bionic+dalvik, latest dev preview gpu driver.

For the navbar to showup on my 40" tv in 1920x1080 I have to set the ppi to 288, 289+ it's hidden.

Using

https://www.sven.de/dpi/

http://pixeldensitycalculator.com

http://isthisretina.com

all say my ppi should be 55.07 though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cpanos:
Thanks, I'm running on a ppi of 286 and everything works fine here as well. I will update the op to let people know that their ppi must be lower than 288 and add instructions on how to set that.

Im not sure if I can have the ppi change with tasker, however, people might be using a lower ppi permanently so having tasker switch it back to the default would suck.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Ja_som:
Hi, thanks for this profiles... I don't have HDMI, but will this wm command work also with ChromeCast?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jblaze10:
Bump, I would like to know this as well!! Tia.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Ja_som:
I tested it yesterday. I changed size with command from OP, but there was problem with navbar, I lost navbar in landscape mode, it appears only in portrait mode. When I played video in MX Player I could not go back...

This is maybe because of ppi, which I did not change.

Sent from my tablet./Odoslané z môjho tabletu.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cpanos:
Interesting. You mean when mirroring the device to a chromecast? I dont see why this should not work, I will test it and report back, on vacations now :cowboy:

Yes, you lost the navbar because of your ppi setting. Either change your ppi to anything lower than 288 or use a pie navbar app like LMT (havent tried that though).

I havent found a way to change ppi without the need to reboot the device so I can add it to the tasker profile.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cpanos:
The wm command works perfectly with a Chromecast and you get the right resolution when mirroring. However, tasker cannot pick up when you do a screen cast (for now) so there is no way to automate the process (as far as I can tell).

i got a Samsung galaxy S4 GT-I9500.

and got some problems

i dont even know if my phone is real or fake

its a chinese or japanese phone.

the first problem is i dont have a official task manager.

Example if you press the homebutton u can close apps and going to task manager shutdown apps and seeing how much RAM u got etc.

and am missing some other options.

2nd problem

I cant connect my phone to Kies.

But i can connect to windows putting stuff in it or delete.

3rd problem

i got 8,92GB space.

but i can use only 2GB off them for apps/games/music/etc

My phone specification :

model : GT-I9500

Android version : 4.2.2

base band version : I9500XXUAMDK

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

The phone specification looks convincing and so does the phone space (except for the limitation). Can you please try booting in Download Mode, it's usually the definitive way to tell if a phone is fake or not. If the menu is in Chinese, then it's fake, in English it's original ;).

Sir, Friend..I have ordered a many devices from the Moto direct site..seems as thow patients with the order would have been the thing, and avoided all the hassle gone thru, because Amazon was out of the devices about the same time, I have monitored both sites, and availability..one or the other would have gotten you the device just as soon..one must keep in mind of the demand, and patients will always come out ahead, whether or not a couple more days before you received the device, and I'm sure your daughter could have waited a couple, three more days..the crazy world has lost the thing called "patients" which is a trait we must hone continually.. and avoid stress while doing so..and there was a weekend between June 5th and June 10th..and not all people work 24/7..Seems as thow all this may / could have been avoided..just me thow..

[Moto G General] bozzykid:
I just checked my order and I ordered from Motorola on the same day as you. I actually received mine on the 10th. When you are ordering a brand new device, you have to expect delays and misinformation from CSRs. The best thing you could of done was had a little patience and you would of received yours from Motorola rather quickly and before Amazon. I don't really see what Motorola did to you that was so wrong.
[Moto G General] cjones00:
Reply

My point was that 1) Motorola stated they would deliver the product on June 10th. 2) When they didn't, I initiated contact with them and first was told they were "out of stock, and when they stock up they will send the phone". They went from delivering it on June 10th to delivering it "when they stock up", so there was no specific date. It was only after requesting the cancellation they came back and said it would ship "in 4 or 5 working days". While I was on line with Motorola I checked the Amazon store, which said the phone was in stock. It was only after Motorola's assurance that the order was canceled did I place the order with Amazon on June 10th. I received the phone from Amazon on June 12th. The Motorola rep stated 1) they were out of stock, 2) it would ship in 4 or 5 working days and 3) the order was canceled - all of these statements were false. Patience has nothing to do with it - I don't like being lied to. But please feel free to disregard my experience and order direct from Motorola. My post was only intended to advise others of my experience and they can make whatever use of the information as they see fit.

Have a nice day.
[Moto G General] cjones00:
So if I understand your post I should have waited for Motorola to refund my account? Even when they told me the order was canceled they stated it would be up to 10 working days before the refund was posted. So you advocate I should patiently sit and wait for two weeks for a refund, just to be sure they didn't lie to me, then order the phone from Amazon? Why would I do that for a measly $220? My daughter is enjoying her new phone (her old one was on its last legs) and I will eventually receive a refund from Motorola. The only question is when. Again, you may want to order from Motorola - go ahead. Doesn't bother me a bit. Personally I don't like dealing with someone that blatantly lies, and the Motorola rep made three statements that simply weren't true.
[Moto G General] SbM_:
You should have just waited for "4 or 5 working days", IMO.
[Moto G General] liveroy:
I didn't mean you should wait the whole period until the refund pops-up on your account.But you should have let some reasonable time to pass at least (3 days or so).Other than that, its your problem what you do with your money after all, even if you end up with 2 phones or w/e.
[Moto G General] cjones00:
Perhaps everyone here is right. Had I known that Motorola's customer service group was this screwed up I would have waited the 4 or 5 working days, which would have actually been at least a week (assuming that wasn't another lie). Of course, if I had known they were this screwed up I wouldn't have ordered from them in the first place - which was the point of my original post.

I'm just letting people know of my experience, they can order from whomever they choose.
[Moto G General] bozzykid:
Actually, my experience has been quite the opposite from Motorola. Even so, I don't see what they did that was so wrong. You were ordering new hardware that hasn't been released yet. For them not to be able to give you an exact shipping time is not uncommon (even Amazon has issues with this). It seems the main problem is you just didn't have patience.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
So,

Little bit of a rant. But seems Samsung chose to remove the Lock Screen widgets feature. I just spoke to someone on live chat about this, they claim Android as of KITKAT 4.4.2, no longer has this feature. Bull sh!t.

Now, I saw the lock screen was ported to Galaxy S4 and in that port there also is no lock screen widgets.

I am requesting help of ALL OF US developers for the S5 and the like to come together and see if we can figure out how/where they disabled this. I also am thinking of just porting the Galaxy S4 lock screen to our phone. However, this would most likely break the finger print scanner.

What i would personally like, is modifing smali code to enable them again on the current lock screen. The main parts of the lockscreen are found in /system/priv-app/Keyguard.apk. I am personally working on this. There HAS to be a way to enable it.

To start, i'm simply comparing different aspects of the lock screen with the Galaxy S4 lock screen. Hopefully this will lead to the idiotic changes made by Samsung.

Please, if anybody has any input, please post!! This, to me, is the only let down of the S5. I really want this working. While I can make an app to "mimic" the lockscreen widgets, i really want native support. And im sure others do as well :)

Thanks guys for reading!
