[Moto X Q&A] Neighbor808:


Damn, that's bad news for me. The Moto X was virtually a free upgrade for me through AT&T, so getting the Dev Edition through Motorola, I expect I'd have to pay full price regardless. I guess that isn't an option. I looked into that thread and I'm considering purchasing a code, but there is a pretty large possibility I'll just exchange for a different phone and avoid any costs. Its really too bad, I really liked this phone. Should've done my research. Thanks a lot for all the help.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Just one last heads-up:

The XT1058 supports 2 extra LTE bands that the XT1053 (Dev edition OR T-Mobile variant) do not. It is better optimized for use overseas since it supports nearly all the bands used overseas. The Dev / T-Mobile variants DO support one extra UMTS band (AWS band - for HSPA/HSPA+) that is used almost exclusively by T-Mobile.

If you ARE able to get a BL unlock code, your 1058 will be better suited for you to use overseas. SIM-Unlock shouldn't be hard at all, and the codes are very cheap.

So for $45 (BL Unlock) + $10-$15 to SIM-Unlock, you will end up with a device that will work better than the DEV edition will.

See here for a list of supported frequency bands: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_X

If you can successfully unlock, you'll be in great shape.....and if you don't, well you will get refunded and then you might consider returning the XT1058....

If you got the phone virtually free, you won't be out much.

Just out of curiosity: If AT&T subsidized your 'upgrade', and you plan to leave them and switch to an overseas carrier, how are you getting out of paying an early termination fee??
[Moto X Q&A] Neighbor808:
You've rekindled my hopes a fair bit. I was just afraid if my code from the middleman didn't work I'd be out $45. Maybe I will give it a try. I love this phone so much even after just a day. I guess the price would be worth it. As for the whole overseas switching and fee payment, my father is in the military. We are being stationed overseas per military orders, so AT&T is basically waiving the fees. We get upgrades and get out of the contract a little under a year early with virtually no repercussions, which is great. In the end, as much as I desire an unlocked bootloader, I may just keep the phone regardless of whether I can unlock or not. It is really amazing and Im not sure if I'd be happy with another phone I can get through AT&T. If only I could upgrade to Nexus 5 through AT&T, I don't really like Samsung or HTC.
[Moto X Q&A] dmonleo:
Yo what about the XT1056?
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
I'm really not sure what you are asking... "Yo what about the XT1056"???

The XT1056 is SIM-Locked to Sprint. If you are a current Sprint customer, and meet certain criteria, sprint will "OTA-Unlock" your XT1056 for international use ONLY. XT1056 cannot be used domestically on any U.S. GSM carrier, even with "OTA-Unlock". Additionally, with the XT1056 you cannot "buy" a SIM-Unlock code from an online merchant. The ONLY way to unlock is through Sprint, and only if you are a current customer and meet other criteria, and even then, it's international GSM use only.
[Moto X Q&A] That Ain't Falco!!!:
Your phone is brand new, and it was free. See what you can get on swappa for it, and pick up a mint-ish XT1053. No point in paying money to return your phone in my opinion. I was only out another $80 or so doing just that, but I got a bootloader unlock and twice the storage space!
[Moto X Q&A] Neighbor808:
Yeah, that's an incredibly smart route to take. Unfortunately, I'm leaving the states too soon to do any deals on swappa. Pie root and Xposed Framework is good enough for the time being I suppose.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marlins43:
I have a Verizon Note 3 running 4.4.2 and I'm trying to root with Kingo. I get through the process up until it checks my root status. It gets past that to 'Downloading requesite dependency files' and it instantly fails and just says Not Support. Any help?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manatti:
I thought towel root was the only root method working for 4.4.2. Maybe that is why you are having issues
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marlins43:
I have tried towelroot but when I click the symbol, nothing downloads. I do have the option allowed to download unknown files.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlipitli:
because you dont deserve nothing...

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marlins43:
Thank you so much. I was able to root my phone. Lastly, one thing I've always wanted was to remove the Touchwiz and get stock Android. I am currently on 4.4.2 on my Note 3. How do I go about getting a clean version of either 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 Android? Thanks again
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waco2hot33:
Are you referring to AOSP style android
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marlins43:
I'm new to the community. I don't exactly know what that is but if it is how you get Google Play Edition firmwares on your phone, than yes.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlipitli:
easier to do this :
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reilly1812:
You can't do that. We have a locked bootloader that restricts you to touchwiz roms running on the stock kernel.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marlins43:
Oh well. Anything else I can do on my rooted phone other than titanium backup and adblocker?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reilly1812:
you can safestrap and install custom roms - they just have to be touchwiz-based.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlipitli:
yes we can

in the pic here, all that gobbledeegook speek where your normal "?about phone" should be , tells you this is a vzw note 3, Nc4 stock rooted, ported to T-Mobile Lte , "G" edition (S5 ported) on non-user-ship (non-stock) kernel.

or basically,

using a verizon note 3 as a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S5, with all of its features, save the one~~ it's not waterproof. , which of course , is in that thread i linked

so there's a;lot you can do with your phone, as it may seem too complicated now, you may want to stick to simpler mods that you can download from google play store, like a different boot animation, meaning to say that instead of the huge red logo you see when you initially turn on yo0ur phone, you can change it to supermario running accross the screen, or that green matrix i/o screen. they may have added more by now, its up to you if that is something you may ne interested int there, or at least its a place to start.as you can see, perhaps a more correct assumption would be to say you cant run touchwiz and another launcher, say Google NOW...... at the same time.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daedalus-420:
Well, this was originally longer but the forum decided to post limit me because I am new. If you want a Google type experience, you might want to try the Google Experience Launcher (can be side loaded, but won't install from play store). I use this with Xgels and am very happy with the results.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DorkyDev:
I tried Samsung Music Player and set auto-off to Never but it still stops or gets choppy as all get out when the screen shuts off. So is there any other music players with a specific "Screen Off" option? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 06SilveradoZ71:
Poweramp i bought the pro version & its the best music player out there i havent used anything else since then
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DorkyDev:
I tried that but didn't see a screen off option... Where is it? I tried PlayerPro and saw a stay awake option but dunno how my battery and phone being in my pocket would like that much. LoL
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidShimenko:
I need opinions here, both these audio mods are by viper but which is better. The XHiFi or the Viper4android?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ducted:
Viper4android is wonderful, and will be the only project continued by the developers. Development of XHiFi has stopped as stated in his blog.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suprtrukr425:
XHiFi is an option in the newer versions under "Viper clarity". Also, the XHiFi .apk will not work on our phones as it doesn't support 4.4.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidShimenko:
It works on my m8 I have both apks mixed
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suprtrukr425:
Ahh, I never tried it since it is listed as being compatible only up to 4.3. Why would you install both?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidShimenko:
I was curious as to how they sounded because this was the first I had heard of either of them and I ended up keeping them. Plus my m8 isn't on 4.4.4 it's on 4.4.2 I think because of my Rom, so I figured I might as well try it if I have the capability haha
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suprtrukr425:
4.4.2 is still 4.4. I was just surprised it worked for you, especially with both installed. Regardless, as stated above, the development for the XHiFi version has stopped and that feature is now included in the newer version. :good:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidShimenko:
Ah okay the software numbers were confusing me but yes it does work on both and when you use them together I think it makes louder and clearer

Thank you for the guide, you really helped me.

I flashed the 03/08 Carbon ROM using the USB OTG method (because of driver issues) and it works well.

[Nexus 7 General] nickshertzer:
Thanks!

Had to remember my XDA login to hit Thanks! I haven't used my Grouper for some time (kids think it belongs to them). I decided to start carrying it for work and realized just how slow it seemed. I'm so thankful for resources like XDA to tell me about things like F2FS, but I didn't really know where to start. So I read about 100 pages of a dozen threads and finally found this post.

Finding your video on how to format F2FS in a step by step method really made it easy.

I don't have an OTG cable, and don't always trust tool kits, so I just used

adb push CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20140803-1733-grouper.zip /sdcard/!ROMS/CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20140803-1733-grouper.zip

&

adb push 7-29_GApps_Standard_4.4.4_signed.zip /sdcard/!ROMS/7-29_GApps_Standard_4.4.4_signed.zip

Thanks again!

[Nexus 7 General] robgee789:
Mtp still doesn't work for me the drivers fail to install for some reason
[Nexus 7 General] USBhost:

Because yours works and mine doesn't lmao
[Nexus 7 General] USBhost:
LoL linux is awesome

All you need to do to get adb working is

Sudo apt-get install adb thats it lol

MTP works out of the box on linux
[Nexus 7 General] mahevka:
I tried this with the official 2.8 and it doesn't recognise F2FS formatted partitions. This is a well known issue documented elsewhere.

This was a significant problem with the root kit method as it forces you to update to the latest TWRP and boots it temporarily to install the zips.

To make it work I had to either manually reboot into 2.7.11 and flash the zips or copy the 2.7.1.1 image to the root kit data directory ("C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\data\Recovery_Custom\TWRP") and rename it 2.8.01 - which I don't really like as the file is now named incorrectly which may cause confusion later!

BTW: using your carbon rom and its working for me with ART - really fast and smooth - graet work. (Can't put this comment where it should be as don't have enough posts to access dev forums yet.)
[Nexus 7 General] USBhost:
Time to update it then lol

Twrp 2.8 from multirom works awesomely

So art works for you on 9/19 build?
[Nexus 7 General] Michael Carleone:
So it looks like the regular Twrp 2.8 still has issues with F2FS? :confused:
[Nexus 7 General] USBhost:
yep

looks like it
[Nexus 7 General] mahevka:
Yes art working fine - in fact had to do a complete re-flash from scratch last night and art still works - it does take a loooooong time to boot first time - thought it was in a bootloop but it came up eventually (3-4 mins??).

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

Correction - just checked the build and its 9/18 - must have missed one. Downloading 9/22 now and will let you know how it goes.
[Nexus 7 General] mahevka:
So - have done some experimenting as follows:

Updated recovery to Multirom 2.8 - working fine.

Dirty flashed 9/22 - bootloops - presumably due to art failing.

Clean flashed 9/22 - boots up with dalvik OK

Switched to ART - bootloops (have a logcat if you are interested)

Restored to 9/18 - booted fine back to 9/18 with ART. (also have the logcat)

So the last version that Ii have working with ART is 9/18

I am not using multi rom - have not had time to try t yet.

PS sorry to post here rather than in the dev forum but still have to rack up enough posts.
[Nexus 7 General] USBhost:
Yep art did not boot on 9/22

Ty for testing

Thanks for the handy guide to go to f2fs. I've been meaning to do it for a while. Finally got around to it. Antutu score went from 14500 to 18830. I don't put very much faith in the scores, but so far I'm impressed. Used an otg drive and the multi rom twrp with no problems.
[Nexus 7 General] ffejy462:
After going through the f2fs process and setting up (from scratch) my Nexus 7, I noticed a few things:

The multi rom twrp flashes on the screen for a fraction of a second during boot.

Xposed framework wasn't able to install itself the traditional way. I had to change instalation method to flashible zip.

SuperSU couldn't move itself to system. I had to flash a beta zip in recovery.

System partition is set to rw...

Maybe these are all rom issues, but seemed a bit odd.

I unistalled a system app in tibu, but on the next boot it came back.
[Nexus 7 General] USBhost:
Hmm

I dont geet that SU problem

And if your using Carbon

Just do one or two reboots and system should be writable
[Nexus 7 General] ffejy462:
Using stock based f2fs rom. Lol... I think I've tried to uninstall the same app four times! It looks like it's a tibu problem... I can modify, rename, delete, etc in file explorer; tibu indicates that it's been unistalled, but the app returns on reboot. Oh well. Weird. I haven't seen any reports of tibu issues on f2fs. I'll uninstall and reinstall. Thanks again.

[Nexus 7 General] InvertChaos:
So I'm trying to enable f2fs by following the directions in the thread. After installing the linked TWRP recovery and wiping the device in the menu, f2fs is not a format option. All I have are various ext*s and FAT. Anyone had this issue?

Edit: Nevermind, using MultiRom's recovery instead.

Edit 2: Hit another wall. Using the NRT method since I can't find my USB OTG cable. NRT has a "hash error" when pulling down the files it needs and will not let me procede.
[Nexus 7 General] USBhost:
never heard of that error

try to adb push it manually
[Nexus 7 General] InvertChaos:
I think it was just an issue the other night with the servers that NRT pulls from. Was able to get it to work tonight and I am now F2FS using method 2! Thanks for the guide.

HI USBhost;

Thanks for a great post.

Quick question. I will try to do this tonight.

Regarding the TWRP recovery i need to download. Should I get the first one or the second one in the link you give?

i.e:

First: MultiROM: multirom-20140821-v28-grouper.zip

Second: Modified recovery (based on TWRP): TWRP_multirom_grouper_20140914.img (grouper) or TWRP_multirom_tilapia_20140914.img (tilapia)

Thanks

I installed MultiROM TWRP 2014-09-14. Tried to change file system and I'm getting an "invalid partition selection" error. However if I change only System, Cache, and Data individually, then it works. I guess I only change the partition of those three partitions?

[Nexus 7 General] BlackFire27:
You could just reboot recovery with 2.8.1.0 and load your kernel, ROM, and whatnot with MTP.
[Nexus 7 General] USBhost:
True but it does not work for every one

Like win 8
[Nexus 7 General] BlackFire27:
I'm using the windows 9 alpha/beta/whatever. However, make sure you transfer everything. If you flash anything, MTP will stop for some reason. I had a kernel and no ROM for a while lol.

is there an easy way to go back to ext4 so i can try some lollipop roms or should i just wait for some f2fs versions to come out?

It's the same process (as in op), just choose ext4 instead.

You dont really need to wait for a ROM

You need to wait for an kernel
[Nexus 7 General] robgee789:
Sweet let's hope for one soon but I can't complain because I couldn't do it my self lol
