LOL. Too late for me. LOL. I had done it already but it's fine because I don't see the phone menu often because I always use handsfree in my car and I don't call anyone.:silly:

I'll be doing a fresh install later tonight because some of the black is a little too black, if that makes any sense. It's not quite like the Xperia Ion(my former Sony Device), I really miss that colour scheme that it had.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Saatvik Shukla:
And what if we just flash your ric disabled and recovery kernel for 108 after flashing the ftf?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
No probs flashing that as long as you have unlocked bootloader, don't forget to flash su after 108 ric disabled [emoji106]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Saatvik Shukla:
I don't understand why on downloading from drive always gets me a .bin for? Is it OK? Renaming the file will fix it or is something wrong?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
Bin file? Which download?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Saatvik Shukla:
For both the ftf links.

When i download it from pc it goes fine. On phone out gives me a bin file
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fntms:
Thanks for the file, I was able to update my rom (impossible from PC update since UL), without wiping DATA and all is fine...

Sorry but why i connot find FTF for my C6803 anywhere? I have been searching for so long. Thank you if you can point out.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
^^ I'm not sure there is a 6802 ftf - use 6833.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] thyk888358:
I used the c6833 and it works very well. Thank you
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Is anyone having issues with the phone restarting after flashing this? I have done it like 5 times and even using the 6802 file from another link then finishing with the steps here.

The ROM feels very fast and smooth which is a shame for me to be experiencing this.

It seems to happen mostly if not always, when on my magentic sony dock and possible after it is fully charged?! It wont come back from sleep. I tried running without Stamina too and same thing.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dafunky:
Hello iBuzman, I'm currently running a 118 rooted stock rom (odexed), and I just realized I should have chosed this rom as I don't like the stock white interface. Because I spent a lot of time in customizing the current rom, do you think if would be possible to flash your black deodex patch on my 118 rom? In order to minimize side effects, I was thinking about a semcphone.apk replacement only. I don't know much about odex/deodex, so maybe it's not realistic.

EDIT : I see trois options, after having made a recovery of the current system :

1 - Flash a light deodex patch with just semcphone.apk or

2- Flash the whole deodex patch and see what happens

3- Try a dirty flash of your whole rom + dark patch on my current rom.

Sorry to bother you ibuzman I know your prob busy but just trying to be sure of somthing before I continue, I am rooted, unlocked bootloader, with dual recovery by nut, with stock .108 just trying to figure out if I can just wipe, flash with twrp OR do I need to flash the ftf via flashtool, reroot, reinstall recovery etc...? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
should be ok to just flash over the top in recovery. a better jdea would be ro visit the kanome deodex tool threasd in sony cross development and deodex and own exist installation :)

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandonShea:
Hey guys, I screwed up bad. Im trading my G2 for an M8 tomorow, So I reverted back to my 'stock' restore on TWRP. Not really thinking about it I tried to update to 4.4 directly from the update centre. Now im stuck in a boot loop going into TWRP and it wont let me into the firmware. Can I still follow the thread that tells you how to go back to stock? Im in panic mode right now so im sorry if this has been asked before. Im just writing this so I can maybe get responses while I try and fix it myself.

thanks,

Brandon

EDIT: this back to stock thread is very intimidating. If someone could tell me an easier way (if there is one of course) to get back to stock it'd be appreciated.

IS there anyway I can just flash a 4.4 D803 telus stock Rom on my phone? If someone has one laying around id appreciate it :))))))
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazer77:
100% wiped as in you wiped the internal storage as well.:eek:

Try to adb sideload a rom to atleast get it to boot something? You'll still have to go back to stock tho..

And if someone sends you a stock rom, that won't help you I wouldn't think. You'd still have twrp if you were to flash that. I'm assuming you want it back to 100% stock, right?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandonShea:
No i dont mind having TWRP. I just want 4.4 'stock' D803 rom. As in all the features of 4.4. He knows it is rooted, thats no problem

EDIT: I booted into download mode and rebooted from there. It now goes back into the stock image I had flashed. 4.2.2 LG Skin. he wants 4.4 though is the main issue.

EDIT 2: http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downlo...803R20D_00.kdz can I just flash that into recovery?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazer77:
Well, it's too bad the return to stock scares you. ;) I'm not too sure how it works for your variant, but it was pretty straight forward to do on my D800. If you could return it to stock, then update, you could use towelroot to re-root (takes like 10 secs).

Aside from all that, i'm not too sure what else you could do really.

this will help with the right tool your should have no problems . Oh yea you have to right click and

2 things make sure your phone is in download mode (Turn off the phone. hold volume up and plug in usb.)

3. make sure your have the RIGHT firmware.

It's always a good idea backup to otg on a usb stick. That way if that happens again u can use twrp restore from otg cable
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] jopat:
Someone asked help on our local forum about this and I thought it might also be of help here, so here goes my share.

If you are like me who wants to carry only a small cable for charging and data transfers, you'll find it hard to get your hands on a good micro USB charging/data cable. Buying micro USB charging/data cable for Samsung is tricky since the wiring can be different from the normal USB cable. There should be 5 pins on the micro end, but sometimes there are just 4. But Samsung cable uses only 4 pins that might have been rewired. I'm not sure whether only Samsung does this or the same can be said of the other brands. There are also micro USB cables being sold that does only charging and no data function, and vice versa.

I've grown tired of searching for a cheapo charging/data cable that doesn't deliver the function, so what I did was I bought micro USB to USB adapters instead and bought a normal female-to-male usb cable extender just in case the fragile cable wires get broken again they can be easily replaced. They get the job done. You can also use the other gender adapter and cable combo but using the same combo that I use enables you to charge and transfer data with just the adapter and without the cable in case the fragile cable gets damaged.

They charge the phone as fast as what the USB power brick provides and what the phone can accept at the same time. :victory:

This thread was opened with the intention to help others to easily find an almost guaranteed working data/charging cable combo because not everyone has access to a cheap branded cable. (And sometimes even a branded cable does not guarantee both functions). This is a quicker guaranteed solution for those buying micro USB cable that has no way to test the cable they are purchasing, mostly those buying online or those buying impulsively.

The logic behind the "almost guaranteed working data/charging cable combo" is that unlike micro USB cable, an extension cable guarantees that every pin has its own wire with no modifications, that's why it is called an extension cable. The micro USB adapter, guarantees the full conversion from micro USB to USB interface to have all pins connected properly, that's why it is called adapter/converter.

So, if you do not like the idea of the extended length that is protruding out of your micro USB slot, this thread is not for you and you are not obliged to use or try the setup in any way. The solution provided here is not perfect but a fully functional solution.

I hope this can help someone.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Taz420nj:
No offense, but that is a seriously stupid idea. Do you have any idea the amount of leverage that contraption will put on the μUSB port? Hit that wrong or yank it too far and it will snap the port right off the board.

There is absolutely nothing special about any Samsung charger or cable. They use standard, straight-through A-B cables just like every other phone. The chargers themselves conform to industry standards, whereas + and - are on pins 1 and 4, and the data pins are tied together in order to trigger the phone into high current charge mode. The "B" end of a mini/micro USB does have 5 pins - the extra pin is for an ID resistor (referenced to ground), so the phone can identify when it has been inserted into a desk or car dock. There is no corresponding pin on the "A" end, and the lack of an ID resistor or the physical pin will have absolutely no effect on charging.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] jopat:
The same goes for the charging flap. Anything that is applied too much force will break. I've been using it for almost a month now and everything is fine. It's just an alternative, maybe a short-term substitute for the oem usb cable if you want.

And how would you explain the slow charging by other micro usb cables then when using the Samsung-bundled power brick? The usb cables work properly with other devices, other than Samsung. I have plenty of them, only 1 other cable works properly.

http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-accessories/274965-samsung-s4s-micro-usb-standard-usb-cable-2.html

And no, Samsung bundles 4-pin cables. So the phone can't identify when it has been inserted into a desk or car dock?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] AMoosa:
I've never had any trouble with generic charging cables on any of my Samsung Galaxy phones. That adaptor looks useful for plugging in a memory stick though. Lol
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] SaphirX:
My Kindle USB charger cable doesn't work for my S5. It just doesn't fit but all my other charges cables from my S3, Nexus 7 and of course my S5 cable work. A bit strange but I guess it is the problem of the Kindle cable? BTW the Kindle one works on my S5...
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Taz420nj:
Of course anything can be broken given enough force. But it takes far less force to break something when you have effectively quadrupled the length of the lever. The stock cable's plug is 1/2" long. That contraption is easily 2" long. That's the same reason you don't use a one-piece solid adapter to plug 1/4" headphones into the 1/8" jack on your phone. It's 6th grade science.

Considering you are the only one to have this "problem", Mod Edit – Some content removed . USB is USB. That's the entire point of adhering to standards. There are no "special" or "rewired" cables for Samsung, nor does any current Samsung device (with the exception of the Tab2 10.1) require any proprietary cable or charger. If a device's connectors do not adhere to the published USB standards, then the USB name and logo can not be used under penalty of law. A company can use the technology in a non-standard configuration, but it must have a distinctly different connector and can not use the USB marks.

WTF are you talking about? The standard "A" side of ANY USB cable only has 4 pins. There is no such thing as a 5 pin standard "A". The μUSB JACK on the phone has all 5 pins (well, technically 10, since it is USB3.0, but the extras aren't pertinent). μUSB "B" end of a CABLE does not use the ID pin (pin 4), because it does not need to - so whether or not it is physically present in the plug end is moot, because even if it is there, it's not connected to anything. The only thing the ID pin is used for is for situations where the phone needs to know when a certain device is connected. If the ID pin is connected straight to ground, the phone knows that an OTG adapter is plugged in and it puts itself into host mode. If it sees a certain resistance to ground, it puts itself into either car mode or dock mode depending on what resistance it sees.

And for the record, most of the posters commenting in that thread you linked to over at AC are retards. Especially the OP, who claims to "know for certain" that the S3 uses a connection with reversed pins. Because just like EVERY OTHER PHONE WITH A μUSB PORT, the S3's jack follows the USB standard pinout.

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

It won't work, because it's not an actual OTG adapter. It doesn't have the ID pin tied to ground in order to put the phone into host mode.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] elesbb:
This made me LOL :D

But yes any A to Micro USB cable will work. However, if you use the provided cable that Samsung gives you it will charge quicker by using the extra USB3.0 plug.

But, my S4 charges just as fast as the standard OEM cable they provided when using my Galaxy S2 or any other quality USB A to Micro USB wire. This however is not true when using junk/cheap USB cables irregardless the USB plug ends. The wire quality is usually pants compared to other brands. Some of the cheap USB wires will even show a resistance on an ohms meter.

In the end, the OP is making a very complicated USB plug for their phone :) Just buy a quality USB cable from walmart ebay bestbuy etc :P
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Taz420nj:
Sorry, but that's wrong*. The 3.0 plug only adds extra data pins. Power still runs through pins 1 and 5. It will charge faster if you use the provided CHARGER - because that outputs two amps, versus the 3/4 to one amp output by older/generic chargers. The S2/S3 came with one amp cube chargers, the S4/S5 came with a two amp. The ones you find at gas stations are generally 750mA to one amp. But it does not matter if you use a 2.0 or 3.0 cable to get that charge rate, because it is dependent on the charger, not the cable..

[* the 3.0 standard does call for higher power capability when connected to a computer port - the device can negotiate up to 900mA from the host while simultaneously transmitting data (USB2.0 specifies up to 500mA). However this is still lower than the power that is available from the supplied charger.]

As far as sourcing cables, you absolutely can't go wrong with Monoprice. They have the high quality cables with the glossy, hard plastic plug grips (just like what comes with Apple and high end Samsung products) for $3..
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] jopat:
To avoid further trolling, this thread will not be updated any more nor any post will be made by the OP.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Taz420nj:
Oh my f*cking god it is amazing that someone can be as utterly stupid as you are and survive beyond puberty. Seriously, do you have any idea what a moron you sound like?

YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

I find it absolutely ASTOUNDING that you are quoting sources that completely contradict your argument, and yet you claim them as evidence that you are right.

I was particularly amused by the fact that you quoted the wiki, but you don't seem to have read or understood what you quoted in the least. This is evidenced by the fact that you claim:

and

But if you had actually read the VERY FIRST LINE at the top of the wiki entry, it says:

It is not just about the "connectors and the immediate wires connecting the pins", the USB standard lays out EVERYTHING, from the connector dimensions, to the pinouts, to the cables, to the power transmission levels, to the data transfer. If a device does not comply with those standards, then it can not be legally called "USB Certified".

Game, set, match.

UPDATE: EMOJI'S ARE NOW FIXED, EVERYTHING SHOULD BE WORKING FINE. PLEASE TEST.

[Introduction]

Hello!

This is a mod that will replace Android's Default Colour Emoji (introduced in KitKat I believe) with Apples Default Emoji.

I may be in a minority here but I personally recognize and prefer Apple's iOS themed icons over the Google, and most of my friends have either an android phone with an old version that will not show colour emoji or have iPhones. This means if I try to send a message with Android Emoji it could look completely different on the receiving end.

I found a solution for this by angelsel here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2563757

This worked great, except due to changes in fallback_fonts.xml between KitKat and L, if you flash the KitKat version, the phone will glitch and will not work correctly so I updated a flashable zip posted in the comments by Fusionalex and am sharing it here with you now

[Features Summed Up]

Replaces the stock Emoji with the Apple Emoji (used on iOS and OSX)

I am not a dev, I simply updated a mod that came with a guide that assisted in doing so, that being said, I will assist where possible and update this as much as I can.

This should work on Nexus 7 as well but untested, if not I can easily make a Nexus 7 version so let me know
