I installed Beanstalk for E980 (4.4.2) and I really like it. But I also want some stock 4.1.2 apps back like the quickmemo, notebook etc. I extracted those apps from my nandroid but can't seem to install on 4.4.2. It also didn't work by copying to system/app folder. Anybody could help me on that? Is it even possible to install those apps in 4.4.2?

Official Paranoid Android 4 Boot Animation

I just extracted the bootanimation.zip from the Paranoid Android ROM for Nexus 4 (mako)

Installation

Just copy the file into "/system/media" with your root browser.

Note 1: make a backup of your current boot animation first!

Note 2: you probably need to change file permisions to -rw-r--r--

In Simple way

- NO

In complex way

- We cannot port any kitkat Rom except CM11(wiko) without Pure Kitkat Kernel compiled from latest Kitkat sources(which haven't released by any OEM's right now.So NO.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
Good advice, but the last part is wrong. It

may

be illegal to change an IMEI.. that varies depending on where you are located and in some cases why you are changing it. It is not illegal in many jurisdictions and in fact factory authorized service dealers change IMEIs all the time. AFAIK it is not illegal anywhere to restore your original IMEI, which is what you should be striving to do anyway.

However as you might appreciate, threads about IMEI modification are emphatically discouraged and not infrequently locked on XDA due to abuse. Or the potential for the same. It's not a subject that we should be discussing at length other than to briefly suggest that an OP restore a backup if possible. Or seek a reputable repair shop otherwise.

Anyway, glad that the OP managed to resurrect his phone (even with the annoying thread title). Sounds like he had a backup (in Kies) that he didn't realize. And therein is the most important message - everyone should have a full backup of their phone, including the EFS.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] danielalvers:
I have arranged with our network guys to get the corporate CA root certificates loaded on my JasJam. I am then able to enable wireless and it finds our access points, prompts for my password and connects.

We are using WPA/TKIP/PEAP with our own root certs across 802.11b.

About 20 seconds after the connection the network appears to 'freeze up'. Pages stop downloading and pings just timeout. The only solution is to softreset the device. Again the device reconnects but in about 20 seconds the comms locks up again. The device itself keeps working fine.

I can successfully connect to my home WEP encrypted network as well as a couple of open network. Via those I can surf for hours.

Does anyone have any ideas? Is the MS Network stack just rubbish?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nickgallop:
I have exactly the same problem with my device.

Can connect fine to my Linksys router at home, but connecting to my corporate PEAP network is a different story. Even with the certificates loaded locally, the device locks up after about 20 secs after authenticating and then needs a soft reboot as mentioned above.

Has anyone found a way around this problem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] danielalvers:
Has anyone successfully used the JasJam on a WPA/TKIP/PEAP network using certificates? Perhaps if we hear from people who it works for we can figure out the problem.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bazooka Tooth:
Hey guys, I've currently got some wifi issues that I believe are firmware related, I've currently got 17.1.1.A.0.402 but would like to revert back to 17.1.A.2.36 ideally without having to factory reset my phone, I'm also not sure it would go back to 17.1.A.2.36 even if I reset it, I didn't note what firmware it had before I upgraded the firmware so it might take it back to an even earlier version ideally I just want to step back one firmware update but I'm not sure if this is possible? I noticed there's an option on PC companion to reinstall all the updates again although I don't know if you can choose which updates to install or whether it'd just install all the updates so far including 17.1.1.A.0.402 which would be no good. It also said I would lose all my phone data which is not ideal. I was considering rooting my phone and getting an older firmware installed then but tbh I don't really have a lot of knowledge on the subject and I'm not sure if that's even possible. If anyone could help help me out that would be great, even if it's to conform that factory resetting is the only option as ideally I don't want to lose all my data
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricebun:
If you're simply looking to root the device at the .402 firmware, then have a look at this thread. I personally did the same steps on my international D6503, and now have root access, my own TA backup file, PhilZ + TWRP recovery modes, and a locked bootloader. Originally my intent was to downgrade firmwares and us a root exploit that way, however, the 'EasyRoot' method has saved a lot of trouble and my firmware version has not needed to change at all.

That said, if you're still adamant about rolling back firmwares, I'd suggest that you have a look here. Norti has posted a fairly comprehensive set of instructions, as well as a list of firmwares for different versions of the Z2. Although I haven't rolled it back, I have heard that using flashtool to jump to different official firmware versions will not wipe data if you choose to not select WIPE USERDATA, since they're performed in a way that is similar to OTA updates (might need confirmation on this one). Some of the posters in that thread have claimed that as long as your device matches the firmware, loading up a different region's firmware shouldn't have any detrimental affects (i.e. an international phone using Taiwanese/German versions), but that's another piece of information I can't confirm since I haven't tried it.

TL;DR you don't have to change firmware to root, but you can if you really want to. Neither method should touch your SD card, and flashtool should be able to choose what should or should not be wiped.

First of all thanks for the informative response! I tried resetting my phone anyway and it already had 402 installed at stock so unfortunately I can't do it that way, I think I'll try rooting my phone now as I've wanted to do it for a while and I might as well now seeing as I basically have a fresh phone with nothing installed on it. I think I'll follow this guide since I already have an unlocked bootloader: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53220418&postcount=2 However I was wondering when I can flash the older firmware, would it be during of after I've rooted my phone?

You can run almost any version you want. I'm running kitkat 4.4.4 (the very latest version) on it now.

But you'll have to root it first and perhaps change the bootloader (I did) and install a custom recovery. After all this you can flash almost any ROM you want.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just_Another_N00b:
Getting your tablet 'upgraded'

It is ever so simple to upgrade your tablet to CM10.1, look at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_p4wifi (I assume it is a P7510 Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi version) to get the quick and easy method of getting Android 4.2.2 on your tablet from a very stable and reliable Custom ROM, superuser and more built-in by default. If ever it does not work for you, then you can always revert to Stock 4.0.4 from Samsung (see sammobile.com for downloads of stock recovery images. You will need to register for free to be able to download).

Hope this is the quick and easy way for you. If you want to go to KitKat 4.4.4, then the nameless (official nightly build) ROM at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2716016 is where you want to start out. Please keep in mind that this release may still have some issues for the Tab, as it still is under development.

Your choice. But no need to root beforehand if you want to load a custom ROM, you only need a recovery manager (either CWM or TWRP, all to personal taste) loaded to continue. Mostly, just to make sure, do the bootloader-thing beforehand as the default Samsung bootloader hates both CMW and TWRP recovery mode, and you could end up with the infamous rolling screen problem.

My suggestion is to start with CM10.1 as that is almost a walk in the park, and the steps are both easy to follow and [almost] never fail.

Hope this makes it a bit clearer. Best of luck in your endeavours to get the stock bloatware off your tablet...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricmck:
THANK YOU for the complete instructions. this is GREAT. :) I have several final questions before I try it.

My Tab has Kernal# 3.1.10 se.ifra@sept - 116#2 SMPT PREEMPT Tues Aug 7 19:16:14 KST 2012

Is this process still OK and valid?

I want to be sure I fully understand the process:

1: I install a new bootLoader. WHERE is the code-file, and what is the process?

2: Do the Odlin3 method- Windows (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_p4wifi)

3: I perform the next step: "Installing CyanogenMod from recovery"

4: where do I find the "required Google Apps" as noted in the above "step three".

5: HOW to find and install 4.2.2, or what ever is the most stable OS for this Tab.

Is this process correct? If no please clarify

Sorry for all the "dumb" basic questions. ;(

Thanks

Rick McK
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just_Another_N00b:
The process is defined for the p4wifi (i.e. P7510 Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, the original Samsung WiFi only, not 3G).

If you have a tab2/tab3/note etc, then you need to navigate a bit there to find your machine. But most of the process is the same, just other binaries/ROM.

The bootloader download is mentioned in the Odin3 method (windows only) of this documentation, within step 1: download pershoots recovery package. Steps 2 to 8 there explain exactly how to start up odin, get your tablet into download mode and transfer the bootloader. Step 10 explains that your have to follow the same steps 2 to 8 to get the recovery tool installed on your tablet.

For the p4wifi the CM10.1 stable roms can be found at: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=p4wifi

The applicable google apps can be downloaded from http://goo.im/gapps , where you have to load the one, related to the flavour. In your case the CM10.1, one (3rd line at this moment) of 20130812.

PLEASE NOTE: If your tablet is not the P7510 (Wifi), but, for example the P7500 (3G), then you might need a different bootloader, recovery mod and CM10.1

CM10.1 is 4.2.2, and has root built-in by default. This 4.2.2 also allows you to create more 'users' on the tablet, do all kinds of nice things, and can be finetuned to improve performance (like overclocking). All built-in by default.

Happy Hunting!

Hey, and don't apologise for asking dumb questions, we all started out asking questions, and this forum is really there to get people started on the path of getting the most out of their tablets. Keep on asking, and there is always somebody out there to help you out if you get stuck.

One advise: get the exact model-number of your tablet (build) and register at sammobile to get a plain stock recovery image, so you can always get back to the default setup, and not lose hope when your tablet gets 'bricked'. We have more than enough expensive doorstoppers in the world to need to add one more. Sammobile gives you the recovery image, base on model and country. These stock recovery images are about 450 MB, and can be restored easily with your big friend Odin (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2142268).

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbertoche:
update:

I only got you question now.

It is true that fastboot doesn't work with locked bootloaders, and that Flashtool does work.

But that doesn't mean your custom rom or kernel you flash with flashboot will boot. It works for stock.

If you're at 4.1 there are ways to get root and CWM, I don't think there are easy ways to flashing custom rom or installing root or CWM from 4.3 unrooted without unblocking, getting back to 4.1 to get root on 4.3, or perfoming factory reset.

Im trying to get music figured out on my Z2. Really its been the only thing bothering me. Since switching from the iPhone two years ago Ive been using Google Play music. I hate how it doesnt store music on the device though. I get it though, switch devices and its always there on the Google app. But if you dont have a data connection or dont want to use a ton of data its not good. I started doing the PIN to device but I still dont see any music locally. Ive bought songs and I want them on my device.

Well I think I might be a corner case here, but I use Google Play Music and sync my library with iTunes using iSyncr. It's paid, but for the most part it gets the job done and transfers album art plus the other metadata and updates my playcounts.

Call me a luddite or afraid of change, but most of my songs are in 320kbps and I enjoy the quality through good headphones. There's a few apps on the Play Store that can sync your current collection on iTunes to the device. I bought iSyncr a long time ago, not sure if there are better options available but it works for me.
