You're good to go as far as saving the ROM zip to internal memory. Unless you manually select to wipe Internal Storage you'll be just fine.

As far as what ROMs are more stable that's hard to say since it depends a lot on how you use your phone. I don't run TW ROMs myself ( MDK S4 ) but a I see a lot of people liking Hyperdrive or Echoe... Maybe just flash a couple and see how it goes. You have many options
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zombolt:
you do not have to wipe your data, just cache and dalvik cache. This applies to upgrading/downgrading between 4.3 to 4.4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] otownmarine:
Ok, thanks- but isnt there some special steps I have to do in order to do the upgrade? I read an article on it yesterday in the hyperdrive thread (download like 4 different zips, apply using Odin, etc, then flash, which was what ended up causing my initial boot loop) or as long as I have SS 3.72, even on MK2, i should be ok just wiping the cache(s) and installing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] otownmarine:
I should clarify- I meant that when going from 4.3 to 4.4 w MK2 / Safestrap. If all that isnt necessary, I'll be a happy individual.

The quick way there is to flash the NC5 no-wipe ROM from the Android Development forum for this phone. That'll get you to NC5, which you can then root, safestrap, and flash a ROM.

Hello all,

As you guys are already aware that the camera is not good in A117, has any of you tried something different and has worked better? then please do let me know.

I have used 10-15 different apps and not quite happy with the results. is there a MOD of kitkat camera app which I can install without rooting?

Thanks

[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] Siddhesh.K15:
Camera is good. If you're not satisfied with the result of stock camera use Lenevo super camera, camera 360, Cymera like apps
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] Siddk007:
A117 bad camera!! r u serious, its got one of the best shooters out there. i agree that it performs average indoors, but outdoors, its the best. and HDR mode gives awesome results. only problem is pics look grainy when zoomed, otherwise it performs really well.
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] Siddhesh.K15:
If want to remove grains from the pics lower the iso level according to available light conditions
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] RSM10:
Yes true stock camera of A117 is the best camera app than any other play store camera app.

It works more than perfectly in sunlight and pictures are quite clear in a dark room.

Hi!

With the help of this forum and this thread in particular, I now am able to surf on the internet using my PC, Universal and UMTS.

The problem is that everytime I connect the Universal (having started the wireless modem application on it), the PC detects the Universal as a new HTC USB Modem and everytime I have to reinstall the USB modem drivers and reconfigure the connection.

Why?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Captain Pervert:
I solved this one a few days later, it had to to with the fact that I have multiple USB ports on my PC and the drivers needs a reinstall each time you connect the Universal to a different USB port.

[Samsung Gear Live] Hardcore73:
Does the Gear Live have a workout mode like running and cycling on my Neo 2? I use it everyday and have to have it on there.
[Samsung Gear Live] Hardcore73:
I am sure it will eventually have apps like Runtastic and such that will work. Just curios if it has any out of the box.

Does this watch have built in GPS?
[Samsung Gear Live] woedee:
Gear Live actively tracks your steps & heart rate on-demand; no workout mode currently available. GPS data obtained from paired device. Fitness apps are forthcoming, for instance Viewranger is releasing app with Google Wear support http://www.viewranger.com/en-gb/abo...offers-active-navigation-through-android-wear
[Samsung Gear Live] Hardcore73:
Ok thanks for the info.
[Samsung Gear Live] ReconPeon:
I'm sure this will come very soon after release. I see it being a main focus with these devices.
[Samsung Gear Live] TjPhysicist:
Runtastic has now updated to support wear fully. It has cards (displaying the usual summary info you get on phone, or something similar to what it does on sw2 already). And actions such as pause, start, view map etc. In fact iirc they have updated their screenshots on google play to show off wear functionality.
[Samsung Gear Live] woedee:
Yup...it appears that apps are starting to receive AW updates. Another fitness app recently updated with AW functionality is RunKeeper - pretty cool app; it integrates voice control.
[Samsung Gear Live] TjPhysicist:
Runkeeper vs Runtastic on AW...anyone?

too bad can't just do the tracking alone

it has to use the smartphone to tracking the activitys. can't use the android wear it self alone like fitbit, or gear neo.

[Other Tools & General Discussion] :
Many times android users face the problem of low phone memory. It is often required to download large HD games via Play Store. But unfortunately because of low space, you do not get to do so. You say many bad things about your device, but not no need of all those things, swapping of the SD card (phone stoorage) with an external SD card will work.

Requirements:

1] A fully-rooted android device.

2] Root Browser.

Note:

MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!!!

Here are the steps:

1] First of all keep in mind that this will work only if the phone is rooted. So if you are not, go ahead and search google on how to root your device.

2] Download and open Root Browser (any). Go to system/etc and find the file 'vold.fstab'. Make a backup of that file and save a copy of it somewhere ( for restoring it if anything goes wrong ).

3] Open that file as a text file.

4] Find these lines: (the may vary from device to device. This is for canvas series. May be same for others like sony, etc.)

dev_mount sdcard /storage/[U]sdcard0[/U] emmc@fat /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.0/mmc_host
dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/[U]sdcard1[/U] auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.1/mmc_host

5] Replace sdcard0 with sdcard1. (Underlined)

6] Do the same with next line. Replace sdcard1 with sdcard0. (vice versa)

7] Save the file and reboot.

I have tested this on my Micromax Canvas Juice, Xperia L and Xperia ZR. If it works with your device please comment below.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomerstern:
Does anybody know if AOKP or CyanogenmMod are working on updating their roms to Android L?

I know it's officially just for Nexus 5 and 7 at this point, but Im interested to know if they will port this to other devices,

specifically our precious Galaxy S3.;)

Thanks in advance for your input, guys.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dima_2005:
I guess when Google will push the source of Android L to AOSP, CM and others can start working on it. But before that I don't think we'll get Android L.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomerstern:
Do you think that will in the next few weeks, or just in the fall, when the system gets officially released?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bornlivedie:
of course they will, but only when it gets officialy released

it's hard to port from a dev. image and it's harder of the S3 (no sources and all)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomerstern:
Thanks a lot for the info.

At least now I'll know not to hold my breath.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palito1980:
I would really want to get my hands on L but people THINK for a second Google didn't even released the L yet and you want CyanogenMod L on your phones. Use your brains. When the code will be released we will be able to start thinking about porting. Not earlier. WAIT and CyanogenMod will do something for our phones but only whet the L is published. NOT EARLIER. By the way if you want to have L on your phone MOVE YOUR A** and start porting.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomerstern:
I would have ported it already, but google hasn't released the AOSP yet. Have a little patience, will you? ;)

[HTC One X] Skerlex:
Hi,

I'm searching for a stable ROM, with android >= 4.3 (under 4.3.X, my cardiosport doesn't work). The ROM must be stable (no update need, everything is working fine, low battery consuption, etc)

So, based on your experience, which rom is stable?

Thanks.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
this will probably soon lead to a rom comparison thread and they are forbidden.

Just pick a few you like the most and test them for a couple of days. That's the best tips i can give you.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] digitalnico:
Hey, I've read about 25 threads, none of which have helped solve my problem.

I wrecked a motorcycle with the phone in my back pocket. The crash killed the lens and the camera. Everything else works. I replaced the camera and lens with one from SW-BOX.com. The camera works now but wont focus. I assumed it was a firmware issue since everything else works. Due to a 'modified' status I wasn't able to upgrade my phone for about the last year. I finally got fed up with it and figured out how to side stepped that last night('official' status now). The phone is up-to-date now. However, the camera still wont focus.

The camera isn't in macro mode and all other camera features work fine. It simply wont focus. Even if I tap & hold the screen. Also the lens is oriented properly.

I've done a hard reset and a cache wipe. Most recently I was trying to figure out what my camera's firmware was, in hopes that (maybe) it could be updated to fix the issue. But every thread I've Googled has turned up this key code, *#34 blah blah blah that doesn't work on my phone. I assume that code only works on Verizon versions of the S3. I also tried searching the system/etc/firmware/ for rm***.bin files. I can't find any relevant *.bin files or file names starting with 'rm'.

Additionally I used an anti static bracelet to do the install. I didn't alter or damage anything in the phone during the installation. No cracked ribbon cables, scratched PCB's, short circuited terminals, altered soldier joints, loose wires, mal-fitting boards, everything is seated properly - - It was a clean install. I don't know WTH else it could be. It has to be software related.

So I'm lost here.

Questions:

1. How do I figure out my current camera firmware version?

2. Anyone have an suggestions on how to fix this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] boomboomer:
Camera is faulty, return it to the seller.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] digitalnico:
Damn it, I was really hoping that wasn't the case... I've had it for to long to return it. I'll have to buy a new one if thats whats wrong.

■Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9305

■Samsung Galaxy S3 SPH-L710 (Sprint)

■Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 (Verizon)

I'm on metropcs, the 'model number' for the phone is labeled as "SCH-R530M" This information wasn't available when I bought mine previously. And I have no idea weather it is fully releveant or not in this case. Which is also why I was attempting to see what the firmware version for the camera was.

Anyone know how to do that on my phone? Or can give me a clue as to HOW I can figure it out on my own haha? Thanks for the help!

If you can get to bootloader, you can try flashing your device with shipped rom. This may help.

It could be that you've flashed rom you are referring to onto G3 device. Then it is too bad, bootloader is not good for your device anymore.

It is possible to fix.

Easiest - address to service center.

All other options more complicated, because you need to ship your device in order to fix it, it won't be free.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bas1234rule:
Hello guys,

I've got a problem with my 'screen'. If i go to Settings > Battery there is no 'screen' so I cant see for how long my screen has been on. I couldnt find a good answer with google. On XDA there is also only one thread about this problem with no answer. I'm running a Nexus 5 stock 4.4.4 with Root & Xposed.

Things I've done trying to fix it:

* Wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache

* Wiped batterystats

* Plug in and out charger

Is there any option I have forgotten? I dont want to do a full factory reset. Don't blame me for my English please, it's not my nativ language. ;)

Edit:

Did a full recharge and suddenly 'Screen' appeared. Anyone knows why?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Are you using any theme? Or are you using any xposed modules which might affect it? Install gsam monitor and see whether the screen time is recorded over there or not.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bas1234rule:
I do use some Xposed modules. I use Gravitybox & Heads Up Notifications. Didnt install new modules when the problem appeared.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Very difficult to judge the culprit over here. Uninstall all modules, reboot and see if the screen shows up? If it still doesn't install Gsam battery monitor to see the screen on time if you don't want to reset.

If you're just worried about your /sdcard data then flashing a stock rooted 4.4.4 rom won't wipe it at all. Give it a try.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bas1234rule:
I've deactivated all Xposed modules, changed system language and did a reboot after my phone was fully charged. Did activate the modules again and problem went away. :) Thanks for the help, maybe you help out other XDA users in the future with this problem ;)

Hey guys,

So a few days ago I flashed the flashable version of Google's Android L OS and it's great! Today I stretched my love by purchasing a Google Chromecast (from a Australian retailer due to living in Australia!) And a major selling point was the fact that I could now mirror my device! But this function doesn't seem to work as demonstrated at the I/O or anywhere else! Is this function still in development for Android L or am I missing something?

Keep in mind streaming YouTube has no issue, just mirror!

Thanks in advance!

TechMennis
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastSidekick:
As far as I know that's still being developed on L. The Chromecast however is a wonderful device. I have 2 of them myself congrats on your purchase. L is a nice OS but it does have plenty of bugs. The basic Android functions work well but rooted apps caused a bootloop and half of the apps crash. I HIGHLY recommend not using it as a primary driver, and instead install MultiROM if you haven't already.

Seeing a stupid comment on Google Play about an app you love and marking it as "spam". You've done it too.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechMennis:

This is my daughter's phone. The Halo build was good but she keeps getting "Media Process has stopped" when in camera -- and she uses the camera a lot.

[HTC Sensation] Inf1n1te:
I prefer builds from sultanxda, everything runs good and smooth, no issues...
[HTC Sensation] D0M1N13:
The only issue I found out with Sultan's ROM was that when you shut off the screen and then after 15 seconds or more you turn it on, it gives me a dark screen, and after like 15 seconds or more it turns on :( That's the only problem that I found out. I installed Shantur's ROM - and it works great. No problems at all.

All ROM's are different even if you have an HTC Sensation. So i suggest you try Sultan's and Shantur's ROM - both are stable but I feel that Shantur's ROM is more stable than Sultan's at this point. Here is a link to both of them:

I think that the most stable 4.4.x roms are the ones by Sultanxda, I used them for a lot of time and they never got big issues... But despite being a Kitkat and Cyanogenmod fan I strongly advise you to flash Vipers rom 5.2.1 which is based on Android 4.1.2, it works like a charm! No bugs at all and a lower battery drain if compared to CM11 based roms
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Jersey846:
Basically the only complaint I've ever read remotely negative about the Moto X is the camera. I'm not sure if it's the stock camera app or the actual hardware that makes our camera a bit lackluster. I do remember really enjoying the stock Moto camera I had with my Razr M (ICS). I successfully backed it up and installed it onto my X. I will be using it for a bit to see if I can get some of the same quality photos I liked on the M. Figured I'd share the APK in case anybody else wanted to try this too. You may want to backup your stock Moto Camera app first. Enjoy!
