Hi Peter, whether you should put ads should depend on the genre of your app. Personally, I don't put adverts in my app (not even pay to remove it). In my opinion, apps with adverts are 'low quality' and profit orientated (no offence). Furthermore, putting adverts in your app will not earn you a lot of money unless your app goes viral. Hence, I suggest you look into a more sustainable business model other than ads. Cheers.

okay.. first of all ur fone must be fully unlocked.. and u shud hav applied the registry hack for file explorer on pc. so either u can use ur pc or ur phone itself to perform this trick.. i wud prefer pc, as it is easier.. follow the steps. (to change the icon)

1. install wpho explorer from http://www.wappstore.org/.. (thanx to the developers finix, heatchliff74, nd ultrashot)

2. provide it root access through root explorer.

3.open it and go to applications..

4. note the application id (e.g for whatsapp its 218a smthng smthng) for which u want to change the icon.

5. connect ur phone to pc and open the explorer. go to applications>install>(app id)>install.

6. there u will find .png files for the icon. generlly named "ApplicationIcon.png" and "Background.png".

7 copy and replace theses icons with ur locally saved png icons(those u wish to b seen).

8. to avoid sophistication, keep ur background.png(tile icon) resolution to 173x173 pixel and applicationIcon.png (appicon) resolution to 62x62 pixel

9. after successful copy and replace.. remove the data cable and restart ur phone.. u will see the changed icon.

(i've attached my phone's screenshots for example.. u can see chrome icon :).. that is for uc browser)

(to send audio on whatsapp)

1. capture a video of length approx 10 seconds.

2. locate the video in explorer. it is generally found in my documents>zune>contents>0200>04(as in my case)

u can also use unique file explorer to locate it. using the favourites tab..

3. note the name of the video.

4. rename the audio u want to send and copy and replace the video in the folder.. dont forget to change the extension of the audio from .mp3 to .mp4

5. open whatsapp and go to send video option.. choose the camera roll> and the video thumbnail would appear.. send that video(which is actually the audio that u renamed)

i've successfully transferred a song. using fully unlocked nokia lumia 710 running on reality rom :cool::cool::cool: ask if u get problems.. ;);););)

My lg optimus black is running stock ics 4.0.4.I want to flash other rom because this one it's slow. I've tried to unlock the bootloader with bootloader unlocker and did not worked. I can get into recovery with CWM from Rom Manager. Now, the question is: SHOULD I UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER for flashing a gingerbread ROM(stock or a custom rom based on it) with Smart Flash Tool?

I hope someone with experience to come and help me
[LG Optimus Black] Lorenzoval:
If you can get into CWM and your phone is running a completely stock ICS ROM, then your bootloader is unlocked. I'm not sure that you can flash a Gingerbread ROM on an ICS bootloader. You can always try it and if it fails you can use SmartFlash Tool to recover your phone, but I recommend to directly flash this with SmartFlash Tool. If you flash it you'll have a Gingerbread ROM with a Gingerbread bootloader and a CWM recovery that you can use to flash whatever ROM you want.

[HTC Desire 601] Diamondtron4:
Hey guys,

I have a pretty unique problem and im not sure there even is a solution, but here goes.

The story is that I had been living in Canada for the last 7 months or so and bought myself a shiny new Desire 601 from Virgin Mobile (its a zara_ul). Since then, I have managed to brick it hardcore style, but i was able to ressurect it after 4 months of fruitless attempts through various odd files, sheer dumb luck, and the RUU from mrplowdans google drive (super props by the way, you saved my phone good sir!). I had to SuperCID the phone in order for the RUU to stick.

So it goes without saying that im now running the Telus version of KK (i updated through the usual OTA once i had returned it to stock 4.2.2) on a VM phone. All good, no issues there. Ive since returned home to Australia, unlocked the phone so it works with an Australian carrier, also all good. Im able to make calls and send texts no issue.

My problem is with mobile data. It seems to be having an issue connecting to my carriers 3g/4g. Initially, there was nothing at all, just the bars in the notification bar telling me that i had a good connection to cellular. No little superscript 3G though, and in settings, although mobile data is 'On', it is showing connection failed. Adding a custom APN appeared to work slightly, the 3G appeared in the notification bar and in settings, mobile data was shown to be 'connected', but still no dice when i try to connect to the web or download an app.

Now i vaguely understand the principles involved here, I get that North american carriers use a different radio frequency to, say, Europe, and that differs again to Australia. My question is, is it on the software side? Would it be possible to find an Australian Radio.img for a desire 601 (i dont even know if they sell them here), flash it, and all will be fine and dandy? Or is it the physical antenna inside the phone that is set to receive only a certain frequency? Im not expecting someone to go and find me a working file or anything, i know most of you live in Canada anyway, but im looking for someone with a greater knowledge of these things to find a theoretical fix.

I know I rant a lot, but in the scheme of things im willing to let this problem slide considering i only just un-bricked it a few days ago AND managed to root 4.4.2 (a significant achievement given my non-existent knowledge of android), but it is a nuicance and if theres something simple i can do of course i will.

Thanks in advance for any help <3

EDIT: Ive since done some googling and discovered that they do sell these phones in Australia, and that the Network specs for it and the canadian model that i have are almost identical, many of the frequencies are the same on both. Leads me to assume that its software sided, the telus radio.img is telling the phone to not see non-canadian frequencies.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mosborne41:
Hi:

Hope some one can help me on this one. I have a LG Optimus g pro on TMobile. I want to flash the stock Kitkat 4.4 (4.4.2 would be preferred, but can't find that one). Part of the instructions in the developers forum is to install "PhilZ Touch" recovery, but following the link for the E980 leads me to a directory with many folders. It is not clear as to which folder is associated with the E980 although I did find two folders with the number 980 in their title. Not wanting to take any changes on using the wrong folder, can someone clarify which folder and file I should use?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterfulNinja:
Hey everyone,

Just wanted to ask a quick question regarding the firmware

I got my UK unlocked S5 last week and as soon as I set it up, an update came through, which is 100mb, the note regarding say "Improved performance", the update download, but I haven't installed it yet. Mainly because of a bad experience I had after updating my S3. I haven't come across any bugs since I've been using it, and I'm concerned that if I update, the battery will drain quicker, or perhaps cause an error in the recovery mode(these things happened to my S3 after updating to 4.3). So 2 main questions.

1. Has anyone here downloaded this 100mb software update their S5? If so, what differences did you notice?

2. Suppose I updated and wasn't happy with the new changes? Would it be possible to go back to the original firmware version that my phone came with when I took it out of the box, *without rooting my S5?

Hope some people on here can shed some light on these questions.

Thank you in advance*
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goldie:
1. It's just a system update. The phone is new there are bound to be updates as issues are ironed out

2. You can odin any firmware whenever you want
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Your instincts are dead on. Updates may fix bugs or add a desireable feature. But just as often they introduce new bugs, break root or disable root exploits, break a few apps and add noxious DRM frameworks like the Knox qfuse warranty bit. They can seriously mess up a custom ROM and may depreciate features like MSC or car dock that may be important to you personally.

Updates cannot always be reverted. Try downgrading your Kitkat baseband to Jellybean and see what happens. Or try removing the Knox security bit after you take the update that introduced it. I disable automatic updates and wait to hear what early adopters find before upgrading.

Unfortunately you didn't tell us the all important version of your update. Or even tell us what your current firmware version and carrier are. Your update might be similar to the recent ATT /Verizon OTA adding the mixed blessing of reactivation lock. That is causing bootloops for some people with custom kermels. 4.4.3 is mostly bug fixes, with a few UI tweaks. And I believe 4.4.4 took aim at closing yet another open-SSL exploit and reverting some of the new 4.4.3 bugs.

No matter what an update intends to do, a few new bugs and unexpected conflicts usually turn up. A quick Google finds reports like this:

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterfulNinja:
Thank you very much for your detailed answers! That's exactly it! And I know from experience that updating firmware can cause a negative affect to the phone's performance. My iPhone 4S is still on iOS 5.1 but runs perfectly, while friends who updated their 4S to 7.1 experience freezes and heavy lag. Maybe companies do this deliberately, so people get frustrated and end up having to get the latest, more powerful model so the OS to run smoothly?

I do exactly the same, I always wait to see what people about an update before updating. The only difficulty with Android updates is that there seem to be so many different versions of updates. For example, when I researched the 100mb one for the S5,* various sites mentioned it, but others say the size of the update was 30mb, which were called "improved performance" I also heard about updates not always being able to be reverted to the previous version,* and also about Knox. So, you can see why I'm hesitant to update.

I know quite a bit about using Android, but have very limited knowledge regarding rooting and custom roms and so on. Also, after reading that rooting a phone incorrectly can turn it into a brick, I'm happy to just leave it as it is. I've attached a photo which shows my current firmware version, as well as other information. Also, as my S5 is unlocked, the only updates I'll receive will be from Samsung. I asked my carrier (T-Mobile UK) and that's what they told me. Only phones from bought from them include added apps that they put on, and I think they may also be able to tweak the updates received, by adding their own features.

Some more questions for you;

1. Do you recommend a factory reset after each software update?(I had to factory reset my S3 to stop the battery draining issue that 4.3 caused. But was wondering if it's best to factory reset after each and every update on Android devices)

2. I know you said that sometimes reverting back to a previous firmware isn't always possible, but can't using Odin with the correct firmware version work? Like Goldie mentioned in the above reply. And does changing the firmware via Odin require rooting the phone?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
1. Yes, a data factory reset after a update/flash a rom is remmended and gives best performance and stability;

2. I haven`t tried flashing a older rom itself but it should be possible i guess as this is not dowgrading like from 4.4.2 to 4.3. You could try it and if it fails there`s no harm done as you can flash your current rom back.

3. Installing a update or flash a rom usualy will kill root, though superSU Pro offers a survival mode to keep root after a update. You can also flash a rom with Mobile Odin Pro and enable everroot and the 2 other options so you will not loose root.

[MENTION=5839044]MasterfulNinja[/MENTION]

I don't automatically accept updates. Someone more impulsive, or indifferent can be the guinea pig. That approach is effective in avoiding some unpleasant firmware surprises. Often an older firmware version runs smoother and is more stable as in your IOS 5 vs 7 example. Running an older firmware means that you may have unpatched security vulnerabilities but in practice this usually isn't a great or unmanageable problem. It is a point to keep in mind though.

Rooting isn't nearly as dangerous as many people think it is. Someone who can follow directions and avoid flashing firmware from a completely different device will rarely brick a phone. And even if you did, you can usually recover from the mishap. I mention this because one of the best ways to maintain a stable phone OS is to install a decent custom ROM (which typically requires root). And then most of the heavy lifting is done by the developer who has already removed bloat, restrictions and other objectionable pieces. And monitors and releases tailored and usually stable updates for those using his ROM.

Android updates vary in size because they are screened by carriers, each deciding what update components and /or custom bits goes into their version of the update. More restrictive Apple manages all IOS updates centrally from their California servers i.e. they don't relinquish direct control to carriers. Still it isn't hard to find articles giving a good summary of what issues android firmware updates are addressing.

Some people believe that you should accept every update and as soon as it becomes available. I don't see a compelling need to update unless you are trying to resolve a current bug or are enticed by a specific new feature. I don't recommend a factory reset after each update. I do recommend that you clear the system cache from recovery mode though. A factory reset usually won't benefit you but it is time consuming to reinstall and reconfigure your phone.

Having said that, if you have a specific issue, such as the 4.3 battery drain then you have a rationale for doing so. But I have to say that I experienced the same S3 issue and clearing the cache was sufficient to stabilize the phone for me. Some phones will develop corruption or configuration conflicts over time, especially if you install a lot of apps. Or if you have a specific app that makes a mess of your file system. With that in mind, I do do a factory reset about once a year to clean up the phone, the same as I would do for a laptop OS. But I don't see a reason to do it after every update.

Odin is a Samsung product, complete with DRM. So no, you cannot flash anything with Odin. You can flash most stock firmware and in particular Odin will look for OEM signatures if you try to change the bootloader or modem. In the case of downgrading, it is the Knox qfuse on your phone that will cause the Odin flash to fail. If you try to downgrade you end up with a partial flash which can soft brick your phone and trip the Knox flag.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] nirurin:
Ok this started last night, tablet has been working flawlessly for the last 6 months or more.

What happened was, I wasn't able to use the Internet. Just wasn't working. And every 20 seconds or so it would flash up at the bottom of the screen "connected to (my router)".

So I turned wifi off and on, which usually fixed connection issues, but didn't help. I also restarted router, even though my computer and my phone isn't having any issues.

So then I went to the wifi settings screen to see if there was any way to reset networks. What I saw was this:

If i turn wifi toggle on and watch the screen, it would scan for networks, find the list... Couple seconds pass... Then the toggle would switch itself off and back on! And then it would start looking and finding networks again, and then off and on, and etc etc.

I have tried a factory reset and cache reset.

I have also downloaded the 4.4.2 stock rom and installed using odin for a totally new install.

Still does it.

Any suggestions? Seems very strange. It's under warranty but it seems like an odd hardware fault, seems more like software but I dunno.

Help me xda, you're my only hope.
