[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Are you flashing the boot or a full Rom? Looks you are trying to flash a zip into the boot partition, it should be an image.

If that's a Rom zip install it via custom recovery.

Also that Rom looks like it's Cyanogenmod 10 for the M7 not the M8.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeanHacker:
Unzip the package and flash it. Not the zip. ;)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Why are you trying to flash an M7 file on the M8 ? **Davids-MacBook-Air:desktop millhhaus$ fastboot flash boot cm-10.2.1-m7ul.zip

You're gonna end up with a nice HTC Paperweight due to you not reading properly.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
SO many issues with the OP that it'll probably end up with a nice M8-shaped paperweight unless they read up a bit more! :D

Most of the posts above should sort you out but trying to flash a CM ZIP in fastboot and trying to flash it over the boot partition is such a huge a no-no I'd stop right now...

[MENTION=5913027]millhhaus[/MENTION] Go buy an M7 and try that.You might get a new flagship (2013) paperweight :p

Are you trying to flash a rom in fastboot?It dosen't makes sense.

To flash rom you should try a custom recovery like TWRP etc :angel:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpmkat:
Hello,

maybe I'm dumb or blind - but I can not find app/task that is resposible for Screensaver - to restore defaults , so that after docking my phone it will ask what do I want to do (Bettetter Dashclock, Kaloer clock etc...). I've chosen Bettetter Dashclock and now cannot revert back...

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
Well....you have daydream in settings/display if yoy are looking for that...

If not...then sorry - I don't quite understand you...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpmkat:
Thanks, the thing is I want to revert - so that after docking up it will ask if I want to use daydream Slideshow or other screensaver app....
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
Can't you go to app settings and clear defaults?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpmkat:
Sounds simple but which app is responsible for that? Got no daydream or screensaver app on the list ....
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
You have app for that that you installed? (Better Dashclock or example)

Go to that app settings and clear defaults that will do the job..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpmkat:
Yep got Better Dashclock - but clearing data - does not work, app is still active as a default screensaver and ask for further customisation. No pop-up with question "Select a screen saver to be displayed while the device is charging"....
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
You tried to uninstall Dashclock?

When you remove it, what's happening when you dock your phone?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpmkat:
It sets SensMe Slideshow as default... :(
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
Are you sure it should behave different?

I never used that but that's, maybe, the way it should be...

It's strange and stupid but who knows...

If you are sure it should ask you, then you could do only one thing - factory reset (or data wipe from recovery)

You tried to remove every app you installed for daydream and then try?

BTW - can't you set behavior in smart connect?

I'm using "script" for when I connect charger and smartband, maybe there's a problem...?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
The advice was to clear defaults not clear data. You said you cleared data, that's different from clearing defaults
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpmkat:
Did both - wrote wrong, but either uninstall does not work...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:

[Zooper Widget General] ErraticFox:
How would I go about making a circle progress bar like this? The owner said it was done through Zooper, but I am not able to ask him how anymore because it was through a anonymous forum board which that thread expired a week ago.
[Zooper Widget General] kwerdenker:
You need to have Media Utilities installed and the "Send Song Progress" option checked in it's options. Then you can add a Progress Bar module in Zooper. Use the "Custom" option and use the #TMU_TRACK_PERC# tag as the value. This is the percentage played, so the range is 0 to 100. Now you just need to use the Curve option of the module to bend the bar until it's a circle. Now you should have a circular music progress bar :)

Do I have to root to install this?
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] billbowers:
Yes. And will need a custom recovery.

The rom is completely stock. Un rooted. The only thing I did to It was deodexed it. Nothing more.

[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Deleted member 4859884:
Nice, thanks for uploading :good:

Strange, looked inside the ZIP & it does have Superuser.apk (SuperSU 1.93) in system/app & su in xbin folder.
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] billbowers:
I must have forgotten to pull the superuser app out. I did a system dump of the rom to deodexed. It may be rooted then. I just test flashed it to make sure it booted okay. But I rooted using the su.zip so I didn't even check.

BETEO
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] billbowers:
May just need to run fix permission from recovery in order to root then. Sorry. Thought I had made it completely stock.

[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Richcar:
Thanks downloading now do you have any plans to develop this rom more. I mean like 4-way reboot, sd card fix and other

I'd like to..its a matter of time. With 2 grandkids on the way, not much time for development. But ill do what I can. If anyone want to use this please feel free to. I just wanted to get the new base out so hopefully someone will run with it a bit.

[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] DigitalMD:
JUst root it like any stock ROM. No need for screen shots, not much changed in the GUI for you to see
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] silvano2:
can someone tell me why Deodex?
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] billbowers:
Well, deodex makes it easier to mod. When the Rom is odex, you have 2 separate files. The .apk file and the .odex file. The .odex file contains all of the smali code for the app. So, by combining the 2 files or deodexing them, you put all of the code for the apk into one file. Hope that clears it up a bit.

As for the Rom. It is completely stock. Nothing taken away. It can be rooted by simply flashing a supersu.zip our if you are using twrp recovery, it well tell you that you are not rooted and ask you if you want to install su and binaries. And it is my understanding that by selecting yes it well install all needed root files for you.

BETEO
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] jmckeejr:
Can you please directme to supersu.zip thatwill work? Trying everthing and I am on twrp recovery so fix permissions not working either. Thank you so much.

I have downloaded it and would like to get some answers before flashing:

1: Do I need a special version of TWRP or any other custom recovery for this KitKat Rom?

2: Does this ROM include knox bootloader?

Hi all, I am after a new GPS reciever and have basically decided to go for a SIRF3 solution.

Could some of you please check these two choices out and maybe offer a little advice on them.

Basically the only differences I can see are that one is unbranded and in the UK and the other is a Holux and is coming in from Hong Kong

Thanks.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] markgamber:
Second the above. The Holux works perfectly, period.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jerry-S:
Thank you both. Any more opinions on this over the weekend would be very much appreciated.

My purchase will be decided no later than Monday and it WILL be based on these replies.

I really need a quality receiver. I have gone through 2 BT-77 units and have found that reception quality fails substantially after around 6 - 8 months.

I don't want to make the same mistakes.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] shogunmark:
i have the holux works perfectly!!! also using it with iguidance v3

**Edit**

and by the way.. if it helps, my holux has been hooked up and powered on constantly in my car for about 3 months(yes it has constant power, thats not battery life)... and i have only had to restart it once.... i mounted it in my trunk and bought the optional external antenna!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] samsonpwnz:
Another +1 on the Holux unit. I've had mine for about a month. No problems at all, really quick on picking up a GPS singal.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jerry-S:
Lol, you must have been reading my mind.

I was having major problems with that BT-77 unit, the one with a globe picture on, and I put it down to constantly being plugged into the car charger.

I think my mind has been made up. It's just unfortunate that the shipping is so much that the total cost is going to be around £70. I dont mind paying the extra if I am getting a KNOWN good quality unit, it's just quite alot more than I really wanted to pay.

Many thanks to you all.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] shogunmark:
i think mine gets the most abuse, as it sits not far from 2 12" subs and about 1200 watts of power :D still works flawlessly... i would buy a holux reciever again if i had the need to for whatever reason, its a d@mn good solid reciever

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corkerman:
I restored my NOOK Hd to plain 2.2.0 stock. Then reformatted my external SD card and rewrote it with directions on how to put on the CM11 emmc. However, after flashing the recovery and CM11 install and after rebooting, it's just stuck in the boot logo with the arrow spinning. I tried flashing back to stock 2.2.0 but it gives me an error and aborts it. I can't install the universal root either because it says "Stock not found." Should I have installed the universal root before rebooting? And what should I do now?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corkerman:
Nevermind, I treid rebooting again and it worked. For some reason when I installed CWM11 it also installed KitKat 4.4.4? Or was it supposed to? idk, but everything is perfect! Sorry for the pointless posts!
[Sony Smartwatch] arkboy4ever:
How long has it been out? What's it's future look like? How does it compete with the competition? How much has it evolved? Are things gonna keep looking better or worse?
[Sony Smartwatch] JarlSX:
the SW2 was released late september, 2013

i don't expect a very bright future, to be honest

even though it evolved to a very useable smartwatch, thanks to firmware updates, i think the next batch of smartwatches will be much more popular

several google wear watches are expected to be announced during google i/o, one of them the Moto 360, which might just be the smartwatch a lot of people have been waiting for because of it's looks (watches ARE considered juwelry, so why not have something good looking)

compared to watches currently released, the SW2 still has an edge i think, thanks to:

-transflective display, sure it's cool to have a high-res display, but if you can't read it outside...

-extensions, giving you all kind of extra functionality notifications

-watch face editor, i think they really hit the mark there

-battery life, 3-4 days

but the watch is showing it's age

i don't know if it's because Sony added the watch face widgets so long after releasing the watch, or that the watch simply isn't that popular, but somehow i expected an explosion of watchface widgets, which simply hasn't happened

and i don't think it will happen

don't get me wrong, i'm a very happy user, thanks to the last update, watchface widgets and notifications (too bad Sony won't listen and give me (us?) a selectable screen timeout), if i leave my watch at home i miss it all day long :)

but the Moto 360 does look amazing...
[Sony Smartwatch] DeadlyDazza:
Had mine 2 days & I love it but, yeah, ^ what he said.
[Sony Smartwatch] adrianmignogna:
I think a lot of People don't even know that there are Smartwatches from other Manufactures, here in Switzerland (where I live), the only official selled Smartwatches are the Samsung ones...The most People here don't know that Sony made Smartwatches too.

Except from that, a lot of People don't see why they should need a Smartwatch, they're always on the Phone, so why should they buy an Accessory which hasn't any use for them?

And then, there's the look of these things. The most Smartwatches are in a rectangular shape...How many People have you seen wearing a "normal" Watch with a rectangular design? Maybe a few, but not much. People like their watches with circular design - and that's where the Moto 360 comes in.

The Sony Smartwatch 2 will probably get a replacement soon with the same (or slightly upgraded) firmware of the SW2, but it hasn't any chance to sell as good as Android Wear devices will, for that, Sony has to deliver more than one Watch, Maybe a circular and rectangular, and a few color options sure won't hurt, and they have to advert this thing! I have never seen any Ad for the SW2 here in Switzerland (The Gear Ad is running almost 24/7 on TV - well , not as much, but it feels like), and there are posters everywhere with the Gear on it! You even get the Gear for free if you buy a new Samsung- Phone here...

Sony should get the marketing right for the upcoming SW3, otherwise they will loose the fight.
[Sony Smartwatch] JarlSX:
i actually don't know anyone (friends, family, co-workers) who has a smartwatch :)

people respond amazed when they see i get email/facebook/twitter/etc notifications on my watch (or if someone calls me), but that didn't result in anyone wanting one as well

maybe that will change when they see a more fashionable watch like the Moto 360...

I'm a cashier and I see probably around 30% OF WATCHES ARE SQUARR. ITV WAS OBVIOUSLY COMMON IN OLDER DESIGNS
[Sony Smartwatch] Fensy:
In my opinion - no, it is not aging well when compared with the Android Wear devices on the horizon. On it's own the SW2 is not a bad device and I have enjoyed using mine over the last few months but I have now sold it in anticipation of the new Android Wear products and I shall be picking up a Moto 360 or LG G Watch.
[Sony Smartwatch] ngoonee:
Why's everyone buying into the Android Wear hype? It's basically a screen for your Google Now notifications. With a microphone built in. And batteries 10 times the size of the SW2 but with less lifetime.
[Sony Smartwatch] akellar:
Because Google supports it natively meaning app devs will be able to easily adapt their apps to utilize it. No hacks and third party apps needed in order to function on the watch. Obviously there are many things still unknown like battery life and general functionality but it's likely to be better supported.
[Sony Smartwatch] Tuborg68:
Gahh! Having a bit of headache over this question too. Will android wear kill the SW2? Reason is I´m planning to get a smartwatch for a gift to an event this weekend. The SW2 and Pebble is out here in Sweden, but there´s no word on release for the Android wear watches (we´re not one of the contries google announced the other day).

And I really want to hand over a real, physical device. Not a gift certificate saying "you´ll get a cool device sometimes in the future".

Was really set on getting the SW2 for this gift but now I don´t know...
[General Questions and Answers] philosoweed:
APP DEV QUESTION -

I was reading an article http://ww.w.gottabemobile.com/2014/06/22/android-4-5-may-make-apps-faster-but-will-use-more-storage/ and in it they suggest that the size of the apps will increase when Android offically changes to ART. My question, as I am not a developer, is how much of an increase in app size needs to occur? This article makes it seem as though those with limited storage space should be up in arms. Are we talking a couple bytes, kb's, or mb's? Not a huge issue to me, I just want to see how accurate or fearmongering this article is.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paolonicus:
There are some blogs and reviews that I've read, including that from GSMArena that says both the S5 and M8 are almost superb in sound quality, the M8 stands out because of the dedicated Speakers and Audio Hardware and better volume levels. For me, I don't care much for the Speaker, but it's the phones music quality thru the headset that counts for me. I was happy with the S3 back then, but was disappointed when I tried The S4 (i9500) which has the same Wolfson Audio Chip that the S3 has. Till AndreiLux used the Wolfson Audio Control in his Perseus Kernel, which vastly improved the audio quality of the S4. I was happy with that.

Now, there is a Sound Boost Mod available here. If I were to use that, would you think that it can be on the same level of the M8, or even surpass it?

Hoping for anyone's response to this.

Many thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myKale:
Call sound quality is good for me tbh. It's very clear so far even when i'm at a loud setting such as bar/clubs. Actually, just yesterday at a post run party in an event I attended, I was able to hear the people I was talking to, despite being in a semi-concert environment and the phone being inside a zip lock plastic bag. Speaker and default ring volume are crap though.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidInsanity:
Sound quality is and never will be as loud and clear as the M8. However the S5 does have a better speaker than a lot of other high end smartphones.

But one thing that I got annoyed with is the back vibrating when using the speaker!! due to the rubber on the back to keep it waterproof.
