[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] EnzoS.:
I want to turn off the stock Android 4.2.2 Gallery and use the most current release of QuickPic as the only pic viewer/slideshow. I would think my best approach would be to use the built-in application manager and just select "Turn off".

Are there any caveates I should be aware of? Any problems that might be associated with turning off the stock app???

Maybe only the Stock Camera app?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] AMoosa:
Just try it. You can always turn it back on.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] EnzoS.:
I seem to recall some comments that if the stock gallery is turned off that the quick review icon would not function properly. I could live with that to get rid of the data space consuming Gallery app.

Any other thoughts?

I've frozen it before but it can make it difficult to add contact pictures etc.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] EnzoS.:
Can you elaborate on the "...contact pictures etc". Just how extensive is the "etc"? I would think lots of folks have "turned off" the stock Gallery on their Note 8.0's. I would also hope that the QuickPic developer has incorporated features into the app by now that allows users to use it as the default picture gallery and slideshow app.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] cheryanne:
From what I remember you couldn't attach images to sms via the stock sms but you could work around that by selecting the picture in quickpic and then sharing it via sms. You couldn't change a contact's picture via the address book but you could select a picture in quickpic then use it as a contact picture.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] EnzoS.:
If those are the only issues, I would be even more anxious to turn off the stock Gallery and start using QuickPic today. I do nothing with SMS and I haven't added a picture to Contacts in months.

My main fear to turning off the stock gallery is that it is hard wired to some other important tab function or feature that an alternate "default" picture viewer (QuickPic in this case) would not be able to or allowed to handle.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] cheryanne:
If you just freeze the original Gallery with Titanium you can always defrost it if necessary. I use the Xposed mod that renames quickpic to gallery.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] EnzoS.:
Doesn't "freezing" (with Titanium or any other similar app) require rooting of the tablet? I neglected to mention that our Note 8.0 is not rooted and I would prefer to keep it that way (for now).

The primary reason for posting this question is to find out if the few features of the Gallery that we use will still be available or at least functional in some way if I totally turn off the stock Gallery and use QuickPic as our primary picture/video viewer. We don't use it for anything strange or unusual. Just the usual: picture viewing, making wallpaper, storing "head shots" for contacts images. We don't even use the camera much so the little preview square is rarely (if ever) used.

I am not allowed to post on MoKee thread so I will post my question here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2761807

I am not a newbie and have been following XDA for 6 different devices and more than 5 years. But I just didn't post enough.

I am currently on SONY Xperia ZR (C5502) 4.4.2 (rooted). I have been trying to flash MoKee 4.4x for the past few weeks but in vain. I bricked my device few time already by trying and have to revital it with all kind of tools (Flashtool, Sony Update Service, fastboot).

I guess now my question is - "Does MoKee ROM requires Unlock Bootloader?" In the last post of that thread, someone said that it MUST be Unlock Bootloader. Is that true? The only reason I care so much about this is because I screwed up my device every time I unlocked it.

I was using the "fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY" method.

I am currently using 10.5.A.0.230.

Your answer will be really appreciated.
[Sony Xperia ZR] gurinderhans:
Yes just like any other rom out there you will need an unlocked bootloader. The reason is because you have to flash a custom recovery such as CWM and to do that you need to unlock your bootloader. I recommend unlocking you bootloader using flashtool instead of the command. Because it is just easier. When I was trying to unlock my bootloader I experienced problems doing it the way with the cmd. And what problems does it give you after unlocking and how does it screw your device? Thanks!!

PS: Try flashing a custom recovery because maybe your bootloader is already unlocked.:good:
[Sony Xperia ZR] anancr:
I have installed -=[XZDualRecovery]=- with locked bootloader, so I don't think the reason is about the flashing of the recovery, maybe is something related with kernel flashing. but I'm not sure.
[Sony Xperia ZR] gurinderhans:
maybe but I wasnt able to write the boot.img unless I unlocked my bootloader.
[Sony Xperia ZR] lcpchang:
confirmed that it REQUIRES Unlock Bootloader to install MoKee

Thanks for the advise from gurinderhans

Yes, I have confirmed that it REQUIRES Unlock Bootloader to install MoKee.

I unlocked my bootloader with Flashtool this time, instead of commend line this time. That fixed the problem I used to have.

But I used the CWM comes with XZDualRecovery to install MoKee 4.4.4. It works out fine.
[Sony Xperia ZR] gurinderhans:
Good to know everything worked out fine.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dkman123:
I was on HBoot 2.09 (and software Software 4.13.651.4 I believe) when I originally went S-Off with RumRunner.

I recently relocked my bootloader and ran RUU_JEWEL_CL_JB_45_S_Sprint_WWE_3.17.651.4_Radio_1.13.11.0830_NV_3.02_003_PRL25007_release_334470_signed.exe, then allowed the 3.17.651.5 update (just to see if it would work).

After that did work I ran RUU_JEWEL_CL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_Sprint_WWE_4.13.651.4_R…igned_one_step.exe

(full name RUU_JEWEL_CL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_Sprint_WWE_4.13.651.4_Radio_1.13.11.1105_NV_3.02_003_PRL25007_release_353492_signed_one_step.exe).

I unlocked the bootloader. I installed TWRP-Recovery-2.7.1.0b-jewel-CPTB.img. I can install SuperSU, but if I uninstall carrier bloatware it seems to "recover" when I reboot - the bloatware is back and SuperSU is gone.

I want to get S-Off back, but can't figure out how to do it. Phone Info:

Maybe I screwed myself by letting the update install, but I'm hoping someone knows how to beat this...even though my google-fu hasn't revealed anything. A lot of the S-Off kits mention HBoot 2.09, but not 2.10.

I'm using Lubuntu 64-bit. I'm going to try a 32-bit LiveCD to see if that's the problem. Windows didn't do it either, but I didn't capture the output.

While I'm liveCD'ing I might try Dirty Racoon for 2.09 as well.

I don't want my technology to be intelligent, I want it to be obedient.

EDIT:

While booted to a LiveCD of Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit rumrunner did the same thing :(

I eyeballed Dirty Racoon, but didn't want to flash another RUU (after getting everything set up 2 times while messing with the phone).

I read Magnum_Enforcer's (every time I see his icon I think Boston Rob) HBoot post a little closer and gave a look at Firewater. It worked perfectly.

Kudos to all of the devs involved. Linux, Android, rumrunner, chainfire, TWRP, firewater - everybody deserves some respect.

I won't include HTC, for making it so damn annoying to control my device!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ukjm2k:
Hi,

Im relatively new to the Z Ultra.

I have an unlocked bootloader, rooted phone.

Recently, I went from the stock ROM rooted to Paranoidandroid.

Now I have decided to go back to my stock Firmware. I have a Nandroid backup.

The issue is I am stuck inside a recovery from PA that does not want to restore my stock Sony ROM.

What is the best way for me to go from my AOSP ROM back to my Sony one via a restore in recovery?

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Is it just not showing the backup or does it give an error when trying to restore?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ukjm2k:
Well the recovery that comes with PA custom ROM, CWM v6.0.5.0 will not allow me to browse to the TWRP recovery location that was used to backup the Sony stock ROM, so I copied the backup to the CMW folder.

When trying to restore it prompts about missing MD5 sums for all the backup partitions, but when I say proceed anyway it gives an MD5 error.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ukjm2k:
Actually, here is the full error:

Checking md5....

No MD5 verification performed...

Erasing boot before restore...

Restoring boot image...

Error while flashing boot image...

Before trying the restore this stock ROM, should I be flashing a boot.img for stock ROM?

Where is this?

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Okay I would make sure you still have a copy in the twrp folder and use FlashTool to flash a boot img. that has twrp recovery. It doesn't need to be compatible with PA as you won't be booting into ROM but booting straight to recovery to restore backup.

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

Basically just need boot img. with twrp to restore with, it will be overwritten with whichever one you had when backup was made.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ukjm2k:
Got you!

Downloaded a kernel that had TWRP recovery, flashed the .img via Fastboot, then booted into TWRP, restored.

Thanks for the help, and sorry about the double post!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
You're welcome. Just glad it was an easy fix!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ukjm2k:
Yeah, I am too!

I'm new to all this flash.img flashing first, my last phone this wasnt needed.

Thanks again.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
It's not normally needed here either, just on odd occasions like this, or when you first need recovery

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kefir500:
Hi!

I want to repack some built APK and edit its name/version.

AndroidManifest.xml contains this information, but it becomes binary after compiling.

I see only these options:

Manual reverse-engineering (requires deep knowledge of APK format);

Using "android-apktool" (good idea, but I'm trying to avoid third-party tools as I write my own code for my software);

Forget the whole idea.

What do you think of it? Maybe there is another way (or another less multifunctional third-party tool than "android-apktool")?

Any ideas would be helpful.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeeteshK:
In my opinion Option 2 is the best and quickest way around this problem. Reverse engineering is much too complicated and forgetting the ide is a no-go for developer. ;)

Hi

I have read that some users have have problems with factory reset after root with towelroot.

but if i only do root,install supersu and usetitanium backup to freeze various bloatware..if then i defreeze apps ecc i have freezed and then use supersu option to unroot,delete supersu and finally do a factory reset,,this could be a good way without flash rom with odin?

Because i think that the way is to restore all the apps in the rom as the were before doing changes.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Your description is somewhat confusing. But if I understood your intent, then yes, you can revert your changes that way.

But wouldn't it be easier to do a full Nandroid (backup)? Which you can later restore if you want to return your system to it's original state.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
There are several Odin tutorials on Youtube to give you an idea how it works.

Important is to disable Kies (Tray Agent) in windows task manager, enable usb debugging in developer options and download a stock rom and extract it with 7-zip, place the .tar.md5 fii\le with Odin in PDA and flash it in with the phone in downloadmode.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aiden_7:
But tutorials online explain first to reinstall firmware througt odin and then do a factory reset data e cache.essentially reflash stock firmware is useful to disable root.but if a user has the same stock rom (so he didn't install others roms and kernel or recovery) why he can't take off root with the option in supersu and then wipe data e cache?

I don't understand the sense to reflash a firmware that i already have in the phone..that has same stock kermel and recovery..

In my opinion reflash a stock rom could be useful if a user has another rom with another kernel and recovery..but i have already stock rom!

Hey all, I'm new to the forum (although I've been crawling around for years without a name)

I recently got hold of a Verizon Galaxy Note 3 SM-900V from a buddy of mine who bricked it or something. I have great experience rooting my devices so I figured I'd take it from him and try and get it working.

I'm not 100% sure what he has tried to flash, and hasn't but I'll tell you where my issues are, maybe someone can help!

Device doesn't go passed the Verizon screen. The bootloader is unlocked, but by the looks of it he did NOT install any type of Recovery System other than the original Android one. I've tried to see if I could flash any on the device, but it appears I can only use SafeStrap, and in order to install the device must power fully on. I've gone into the normal Android Recovery, deleted Cache, and Data/Factory Reset multiple times. Still goes to Verizon Screen.

Than I figured I'll just push 4.4.2 back in through Odin. Nope. I have the stock firmware and everything, but it stops on Odin at Aboot and my phone will say Fused 3 Binary 2? I'm really lost on that, I know it's due to the bootloader being unlocked.

It seems the only thing in Odin that will pass is the "unified KK Firmware." I'm kinda at a lose on this phone (luckily it was free) but I really would like to get it working.

Thanks in advanced and I really appreciate all the hard work everyone does here.
