[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RockRatt:
To add on to above post, for the MDL firmware phone get twrp and flash something like ShoStock-i. It is based on one of the newest international firmwares and include the needed files for Gear Manager that should allow your Gear 2 to work. I have the Gear 1 with using ShoStock-i and it works perfectly. Should not be any different for your Gear 2 with Tizen. Gear Manager will work on your Tizen watch with it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] yowza:
sigh... Unfortunately, even though I was able to verify root on NC1, I am have not been able to get wifi tether to work (I get "settings has stopped" error, after following the process of replacing tetheringprovision.apk file that I did on my MDL model).

So I have the MDL 4.2.2 model that provides hotspot but doesn't work with Gear 2, and NC1 that's vice versa.

I've looked into flashing a prerooted custom 4.4.2 ROM with working tether like Maple Leaf among others mentioned in this thread, but ODIN fails when I try to install CWM (FAIL Auth). Also tried the ES File Explorer option to create a hotspot network, still get the settings has stopped, I read that even when its says that, it's still actually providing a signal, but not on mine for sure (not finding any using different devices).

I tried this:

followed the steps to the TEE on NC1 phone and still get an ODIN error. ODIN says md5 file is valid, after "firmware update start..", it lists:

sbl2.mbn

NAND Write Start!!

sbl2.mbn

sbl3.mbn

rpm.mbn

aboot.mbn

complete(write) operation failed.

<OSM> all threads completed (suesseed 0 / failed 1)

Now it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and Try again."

Followed the process to on Kies to upgrade firmware with model number and SN, but it tries to load MDL version and says "This devices version cannot be updated"

Tried emergency recovery but device doesn't show on the list.

been working on this for a couple of days now- staying patient- I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing... Thanks so much for your suggestions guys!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] yowza:
SOLVED!

I finally accomplished what I was going for:

I managed to unbrick my 4.4.2 NC1 by flashing 4.4.2 NB1 via ODIN, then took the OTA update again to NC1, rooted with Towelroot, then, after finding out that AT&T no longer blocks hotspot with the new mobile share plans (which I have), everything is working fine= rooted 4.4.2 NC1 with working hotspot and compatibility with Gear 2.

thanks again for the suggestions!

Is there a way to get a transparent nav bar besides the xposed module that requires a ton of tweaking?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shorty1483:
Replace "SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\navigation_background_transparent.9.png" with a transparent one.

Edit: Do you mean fully transparent or the GEL Gradient NavBar?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesR913:
The one that the xposed module does is nice but it requires padding on almost every app and it ranges from 0-256. "ain't nobody got time for that.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SouthernEvo:
My gripe is the status bar . They added so much transparency to it they should have just left the damn thing transparent . Im running ViperOne and it has a setting that allows you to change it . Personally Id prefer to manually do it myself but its been a while since I messed with HTC and their frameworks / systemui . So slowly learning how to manipulate it in terms of changing things . I usually prefer to make these changes myself .
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Here are the simple ones .....

Transparent Status Bar

Replace the status_bar_background_transparent.9.png with a transparent one in

SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\

View attachment 2799163 View attachment 2799165 View attachment 2799167

Transparent Nav Bar on Homescreen and Blinkfeed page

Replace the home_launcher_bg.9.png and home_panel_gradient.9.png and prism_feed_gradient.9.png with transparent ones in

a) if you have com.htc.launcher-1.apk in data\app\

com.htc.launcher-1.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\

b) if you have only Prism.apk in system\priv-app\

Prism.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\

and also change the navigation_background_transparent.9.png with a transparent one in

SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\

View attachment 2799172 View attachment 2799173

and you may need to change the transparency for the Lockscreen after you made the above change to the Transparent Nav Bar because it will look weird like this

View attachment 2799176

change the lockscreen_nav_bg.9.png to the transparent one in

HtcLockScreen.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\

then it will look like this

How do I get transparent ones? I am new to this stuff as well.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohaz55:
Good info thanks, you helped me track down a couple of files that I was looking for.

A question if I may, do you know what file(s) are putting that annoying line between the dock and the navbar ?

Open the files in an image editor and erase the image leaving a transparent image or create new transparent images of the same sizes and replace the existing with the new.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Blue_Bomber:
Thank you. But where is the xx.apk/res/xxhdpi located? And what image editor would you suggest?

Edited: never mind. I'm dumb.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
SystemUI.apk, HtcLockscreen.apk and Prism.apk are located in system/priv-app/

and if you have com.htc.launcher-x.apk, it is located in data/app/

Oh okay, I thought I could do it on the phone. Man this is so much for me. Haha. I wish I could find a flashable zip or modded apk. Time to stop being lazy
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
This will need xml editing (unless someone can come up with better idea)

1. edit : com.htc.launcher-1.apk(or Prism.apk)\res\layout\main_launcher.xml

search for

<ImageView android:layout_gravity="bottom|center" android:id="@id/nav_bar_div" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/margin_l" android:paddingRight="@dimen/margin_l" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/common_b_div" android:scaleType="fitXY" />

then change android:layout_height="wrap_content"

to android:layout_height="@dimen/navigation_bar_divider_height"

2. edit : com.htc.launcher-1.apk (or Prism.apk)\res\values\dimens.xml

add <dimen name="navigation_bar_divider_height">0.0dip</dimen> to it

You'll have as in this screenshot

Great ....nice homescreen

Maybe you want to update it again as I just reuploaded a new one as I notice an extra png that is not supposed to be in the apk. (but it will make no harm with that extra png).

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
The lower part is controlled in SystemUI.apk

I guess the launcher is not replaced.

To have the Transparent Status Bar only, the navigation_background_transparent.9.png need to be the original one.

Do you want only the Transparent Status Bar ? I'll make one tomorrow as it's very late now... it's 2.30 am here and it's my bed time... good night (maybe you can PM me on what actually you want to achieve)

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SouthernEvo:
Ok Im still having issues getting this 9patch png image under control . To give you some background . Im attempting to darken the Status bar transparency so it isnt so difficult to see the icons when a lighter wallpaper applied . In past versions of android ie: Ice cream sandwich , I would simple open SystemUi.apk pull the png file and edit the file in paintshop pro . Save the image then just add the png through winrar back into the apk then flash a update zip and apply the new changes . Of course with draw9patch files it isnt that simple since whenever I attempt to save the file it corrupts it . I have attempted to edit the png files and instead seem to break the images in the process. Ive searched and used draw9patch suit and still I am unable to get it to work properly since it always spits out errors when i attempt to do so . The end result I am attempting to do is either darken the status bar transparency . I want to keep it transparent but just darker . That or apply a gradient transparency much like the one found in googles stock launcher status bar (Starts opaque but finishes as fully transparent . Im on Skyfall rom by Ibastid, Any assistance would be appreciated . Trying to learn this since its something I want to learn .

[Moto X General] Jamolah:
So here's the story.

Yesterday I dropped, my beloved, motox and broke the screen. So I scrambled on kijjiji to find a used one. I only managed to find 2,one guy was asking 260 and another guy was asking 340.

I decided to check my carrier to see if I was eligible for an upgrade. I was with an early upgrade fee (125), I thought this was great. So I clicked to search for a motox but Rogers doesn't sell it anymore. So I had to settle for a nexus 5 ($0 on 2 year renewal).

I've been playing with it for 2 hours and I already miss my motox, I can't wait to sell this thing and get the new motox (motox+1).

Pros of the nexus 5 over a motox:

Not much. I really have to struggle to put something here.

-Okay no carrier name in the notification shade.

-Timely updates.

-Grippy back.

-Lighter

Cons:

Everything.

-I miss touchless control (I miss being able to say 'OK Google now' from anywhere and it would respond)

-I miss touchless notifications

-I miss twist to launch camera (I didn't think I'd use this feature as much as I did). Its so handy to grab the phone and twist it and the camera is ready to shoot.

-I miss being able to press anywhere on the viewfinder to take a picture.

-camera controls are crap

-placement of power and volume buttons are to high up on the phone

Motox did so many things right
[Moto X General] WannabeKula:
I just had the same exact thing happen to me.

My wife dropped my Moto X and cracked the screen, i then bought a 32gb Nexus 5 from EBay and I don't like it !.

The Touchless controls and active notifications are the things I miss the most.

I find the camera also to suck on the Nexus 5.

So a friend yesterday sent me this article.

I can't post the link as I'm a new user so I will private message it to you.

If your Moto X is still under warranty and you used the moto maker, you can request RMA and send back to Motorola.

Motorola will let you recreate a new moto x for free !

Once you receive your new free replacement you are obligated to send back your broken moto x within 10 days otherwise they will charge full price for the new handset.

The Article has all the details.

If you have any questions, just hit me up !
[Moto X General] Jamolah:
Wannabekula, thanks for article I responded to the private message.

The motox should have sold better than the nexus5.
[Moto X General] biggiestuff:
I went from nexus 5 to moto x and while I am using more and more of the unique features such as touch less control (driving) and the camera hand twist, I will disagree with you that the moto x has the better camera. Camera and screen are where the nexus 5 have the advantage. My wife still has her nexus 5 her pictures of the same things we shoot come out on top more often than not. Mostly because of the OIS. Color accuracy is better on the n5 as well. Don't get me wrong, the moto x has definitely grown on me and touch less controls are becoming a MUST. If the moto x+1 can fix those few gripes I'll definitely stay in the moto family. oh and moto x on average gets better battery life than my n5.
[Moto X General] devilsdouble:
Damn I thought Moto X had a great build quality! I am scared to buy it now!
[Moto X General] Jamolah:
I never implied the picture quality on the motox is better, I was simply saying the camera controls are better in the motox. For example if you want to flip to front camera the control is right there on the viewfinder I don't have to go into a menu to do it. Same applies for taking a video it's right there.

Motorola really made the motox functional. If they had priced it right, it would have sold like crazy.

It does have a great build. You won't be disappointed. Get it.
[Moto X General] ericizzy1:
moto x is the best phone i ever had to date. and im not looking to replace it because its so good
[Moto X General] biggiestuff:
The camera part was more directed to the person who said the nexus 5 camera sucks. I do like most of the motox cameras features. I like that you don't pinch to zoom, you just swipe up or down and you can do burst mode by just holding down on the screen.
[Moto X General] Jamolah:
After only only 8 hours with the nexus5 I've decided to return it. I can't deal with its shortcomings. Also it's got issues when streaming music over bluetooth, a lot of crackling, seems to be a common problem.

I'd rather have a broken (screen) motox than a new nexus5.
[Moto X General] setspeed:
I have the Nexus 5 and I love it. I upgraded from Galaxy S3 and if the Moto X had launched in the UK before the N5 then I may have bought it. I say *may* because the screen is the same resolution as my old phone plus it was smaller. And the outdated processor did not impress me either.

Although I don't know how much I would actually use it I am pretty jealous of the 'always listening' feature of the Moto X though and I'm strongly considering getting the X+1, so long as Moto don't pull the same stunt they did with the X; 'Let's release it in the US but then wait six months before getting it to any other country'.

If they pull that again then it's highly likely I will be tempted by the Nexus 6 or Android Silver line (whichever actually happens) which, if history serves as a guide, will come out towards the end of the year.

Which would be a shame because I wouldn't mind swapping my Snapdragon 800/1080p/2GB RAM/32GB storage phone for one of the same specification soon - but there's no way I would do that next year, when Snapdragon 801 will have been superceded by 805, and pretty much every flagship is going to have 3GB RAM and QHD display by that time. That would just stick in my craw a bit too much.
[Moto X General] Julianocas:
If higher numbers specs that much, you really need to follow it...

... but, for everyone who had read about it, knows that its not just higher numbers, not even the "outdate" (just because its a dual-core). Simply enough, architecture, the Android necessarily need quad or octa? 3gb of ram? 2k?
[Moto X General] Jamolah:
Setspeed Trust me man, it's not about the number of processor or anything if the hardware is optimised to the software specs mean nothing. Use the motox and you'll see what I mean.

Motorola did make a few mistakes marketing this phone though. Not selling world wide on initial release, pricing too high and not marketing enough. Because the motox offers all the benefits of vanilla android with the added features of touchless control and active display.
[Moto X General] kboya:
Had an N5 from launch to replace my n4 from launch (and other nexus beforehand). Both are great, beautiful phones. Came to the moto x for the touchless features and the essentially stock 4.4.2. I love it. It is beautifully designed, maybe a little underpowered, but very well executed. The x8 chip set is excellent, but could probably do better with a slight improvement in the main cores. I've had a few issues, some regular force closes, but nothing that takes the shine off.

Long story short? I loved my n5... I sold it only because I love the features that moto x has... I didn't expect to buy a feature smartphone, but it's a freak in the smartphone category... Long live the moto x (+1?)
[Moto X General] setspeed:
Yeah I'm aware that the user experience is great on Moto devices - a friend just bought the Moto G and it's unbelievably good for the price. Unfortunately the X was too little too late by the time it came to the UK.
[Moto X General] Jamolah:
We'll see if Motorola learned their lesson with the release of the motox+1. Because if they market well, release world wide and price it aggressive the new phone will sell like hotcakes.
[Moto X General] devilsdouble:
I don't know when people will understand that really. I mean look at the sales, all the high specified phones are selling like hotcakes, and the Moto X, well nowhere near. God knows what people like in a highly spec'ed phone which runs like crap. The three devices I had were S4, Note 2, S2, and other than the S2 all of them are overpriced sh!t. Seriously. People call me crazy that I am thinking about getting the Moto X after owning the S4 :eek:

It's like they are buying a computer, higher you go, more performance you get, like they will play Watch Dogs on it. However I utterly hate iPhone and iOS but there's some point why that bloody thing sells well.
[Moto X General] setspeed:
I see what you're saying when it comes to Samsung, but not the Nexus - it performs better than any other Android phone because it's the highest specced stock software phone. I guarantee you that it's quicker and smoother than the Moto X, because of better hardware. If I could get the always listening touchless controls on my N5 then I wouldn't even be hanging around this forum sniffing about for X+1 news! But I can't, so here I am :laugh:
[Moto X General] Wutang200:
Good decision my man!

You've just saved yourself from dealing with a load of issues by returning the N5!

I've come from the N5 to my Moto X and haven't looked back seriously.

I had so many issues with the N5 that I got Google to send me 11 replacements (YES ELEVEN REPLACEMENTS!!!) and in the end Google decided it wasn't the phone for me and gave me a full refund.

My issues experienced:

-Extremely poor call quality where the person on the other end can hardly hear you and you always have to shout to be heard

-Noise cancellation broken/faulty (looks like a hardware issue)

-Poor build quality as I kept getting dead pixels on 3 of the handsets

-Speaker volume very very low compared to the Moto X

-SIM card tray never used to sit flush with the body on quite a few of the models

-Bluetooth streaming issues

The main issue for me was the fact that I couldn't make phone calls properly. I loved the vanilla experience but I still get that with my Moto X.
[Moto X General] Wutang200:
The Moto X is the same weight as the N5 although the Moto X feels slightly chunkier in the hand.
[Moto X General] setspeed:
Wow that's got to be some kind of record, for a person to receive ELEVEN faulty handsets in a row...
[Moto X General] devilsdouble:
Yeah, I know. Nexus 5 is the smoothest Android available. But for me that's that for the Nexus. Horrible call quality, disgusting speaker quality, super fragility, a dumb display, those things come free with it.

I prefer a phone as a phone first, then the software. That's why I will choose a Moto X over a N5 thousand out of thousand times, but that might be just me, still that's all I care about :)
[Moto X General] Jamolah:
Holy crap 11, that's crazy. A for effort, I would have given up after the 3rd time

Weird the motox feels heavier, maybe because it's concentrated in a smaller package
[Moto X General] beefgoat:
I cracked the screen on my GSM Dev Edition. After talking to Motorola and threatening to go with a competitor, they sent me a brand new phone for an exchange for free!
[Moto X General] alpha-niner64:
Huh, I'm glad you got a new one but were they obligated to cover your phone under their RMA policy?
[Moto X General] beefgoat:
No, they weren't. It stated that physical damage, such as a cracked screen, isn't covered.
[Moto X General] Wutang200:
100% agree!
