[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCDreamOn:
Marco! Glad to see you round here :) honestly, the feature I want is antifeatures :p ROMs have to many gimmicks imho. That's why I stick to things like Rastakat.

I agree. If you want to release a ROM then add the features you want and don't let anyone else tell you what you should do!

I guess it depends how much control you want to have on the final product. I'd personally base it on pure AOSP source then go from there, that way it'll be completely yours. I can't think of a justified reason to base it on CM11... CAF, features I don't want, incompatibility issues (how can I live without Franco kernel???). I guess you could use AOSPA except from using it as a DD for about a month now, although I think their features are great I feel as though they've been designed with a Nexus 5 in mind. Here's some general stuff:

- I haven't found a single theme which works properly on N7, they all use phone layouts and low resolution icons

- I prefer PAs implementation of quick settings tiles over CMs

- did I mention Franco kernel is incompatible with AOSP?

- if you want to go more for theming than features, an L themed ROM would be cool

- You're not really going to be able to do much realistically to make any ROM faster. Just don't use stupid harmful flags :p

- OK I'll just be frank, if you use CM11 as base then I won't be part of your user base

I'll end by saying that you should ignore all the points I just made and instead BUILD A ROM *YOU* WANT WITH FEATURES *YOU* WANT :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcomarinho:
Thanks so much for this bro :highfive: This is a really good opinion :good: I will make a ROM with the focus on stability and performance. Something I'm looking for. Now I had some ideas that could make my ROM different from another's ;)

Thank you guys for clarifing my ideas :angel:

So after a couple weeks trying to take part in their promotional deal I figure its a straight scam !!

Their online purchasing has been in shambles for quite sometime.. I have connected to live chat several times and had no luck in proceeding with a purchase.

They offer a 50.00 dollar mail in rebate which makes the Nokia 520 free after rebate. Problem is they wont process your credit card transaction. They end up telling you to call the bank and have the transaction reversed which takes several days.

To top it off they tell you to come back tomorrow and try again. I have tried several times having my money withheld and no luck in an actual purchase. They recommended I visit a cricket store which I have visited 3 now and they all want to charge me an additional 25.00 activation. Why would online tell me to go and the issue would be resolved for same cost but once you get there its another 25.00 ??

SCAM !!

They don't have the stock or colors available which they say they do online .. let alone the push you to stores to get their activation fee which is null when you buy online !!

Why wont they then compensate ? Let alone why say the system is fine when they know you will fail ??

To make matters worse (which I'm trying to overlook) they have completely removed all tethering options ..even from their plans ..

SUPER DISAPPONTED IN CRICKET !! TRYING T-MOBILE WILL BE BETTER CHOICE

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] C-4Nati:
So I'm trying to flash the L preview. I plug my n7 in and do adb devices and it shows up, I adb reboot bootloader and it boots into the boot loader, but while in it if I do adb devices nothing comes up and if I do the flash-all.bat it just stays stuck on waiting on device. And yes I have USB debugging, and just updated drivers and installed SDK fresh. This just seems odd.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
When you are in bootloader mode, the correct command to list devices is: fastboot devices

Let me know if that command gives you a device id.

If it does not, then you must get your drivers situated.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] C-4Nati:
Well not working while using the flash-all.bat would still indicate it's not recognized in boot loader mode. Which is weird when it is while its on.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] C-4Nati:

Do you have a syncing program for your handset/tab installed?

If so I'd uninstall it as they tend to take over the USB when you plug your device in, changes the USB port com ID and only meant for an up and running system and not in bootloader/recovery/etc

As for an actual response as in an ID/model/etc using adb or fastboot I've never seen it shown when I've tried it even with official and unofficial drivers others have had responses with!! ..but not had any problems flashing except with a sync program on pc ;)

The LG G3 is a great phone. With that being said, if you have a Note 3/S5/M8/Etc. There is not much * If any gain* Now I do not know about the G3 having a locked bootloader or not but spec wise, is there anything even worth " Upgrading" to it for?

Haha I also have phone fetishes and like to get the best phone but by the looks of it, there's really nothing on he g3 worth upgrading for. Both the note 3 and g3 have similar specs.

I thought about waiting and getting the G3 or the Note 4, but in the end I like the size and styling of the Note 3. I also got tired of using my tiny xiaomi 2 so I said screw it and bought the note 3. The g3 looked like a really interesting phone though. Not sure if there is enough difference between it and the note 3 though. One of the other reasons I went with Note 3 is that I saw there was alot of support for custom roms and modifications, while at the time the g3 still wasn't out yet.

So I'm Australian on the Telstra network.

I followed this guide Youtube Guide Sakitech - How to Convert HTC One M8 to Google Play Edition w/ OTA Updates

It worked perfectly, except I do not seem to have any LTE Connection, no 2G, 3G either.

I am wondering if my phone is trying to connect to american LTE channels?

I don't really know much about LTE Connections. Can anyone help? Does changing your CID change how you connect to mobile networks?

Took me a while to figure out what to do.

So I got the latest Telstra Radio Image (Whirlpool HTC One M8 custom rom thread), tried flashing it in SUU, no luck.

Then I realised I could just redo the entire GPE rom, I put the new radio.img in the GPE Rom zip file replacing their radio.img and it worked perfectly.

Sadly ofcourse reinstalling all my apps and such but at least everything is working smoothly now!.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
You could have just booted into bootloader, open a command prompt when the device is connected and type in

fastboot reboot

Done.

But glad that it's working now so...

I got a Bauhn AMiD-9743G here stuck on the "BAUHN" screen

a friend of mine tried rooting it and this is the result.

so far, I tried to do recovery and it seems that it does not respond from there. ALL options can be "selected" but nothing happens from there (even the reboot option)

it has 2 RECOVERY (possibly demo/testing) SCREENS

- one in chinese/asian characters and the other is the "opened android" that we all know of ans so far nothing works from there

AFAIK I might need to re-flash this. is there anyone there who can guide me to the ROM (stock (preferred) or custom) and assist me in flashing as well.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blakestr:
I am entering a training program and want to have a heartrate monitor pair with my note II for tracking workouts. But most monitors need at least 4.3, the reason I am upgrading. Usually I just find a rom I like and use it for a long time because it takes so many hours to get everything working just the right way.

I was wondering though since I am on Sprint if anything would change if I upgrade? Right now I can tether and use my laptop with 4g and even play games and get a decent ping. I don't want that to be jeopardized, so what are potential complications.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Don't actually update but flash one of the custom roms. 4.4.2 is the best choice. 4.3 is buggy and slow. Make sure you read the whole OP of the rom your going to use. There are some things that you must do to get full functionality. Now for tethering you either need to use a mod or 3rd party app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blakestr:
You mean tethering is different in 4.4.2? The rom I will be flashing to has tethering listed as a feature so I assume that it is okay.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Guess it is aosp rom? I was stuck in thought and refering to touchwiz since you said 4.1.2 to 4.4.2. You should have no tethering issues with aosp. No matter aosp or touchwiz the performance and battery life will improve.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blakestr:
Are all custom roms at this point capable of reading exfat? I know it was a problem in the past... I am looking at dirty unicorn and liquid smooth roms but I can't see anything in the description that tells me...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
All touchwiz roms do. Not all aosp do. I dont uses exfat so I don't pay attention to which roms have it. Converting over to fat is not hard then you never have to worry either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blakestr:
But then I am stuck using a 64 GB card at half capacity and with file size limitations

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrebo:
+1 I have a 64gb card formatted as fat32 and I've ran all types of roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJ_Barcode:
It's been my understanding that the FAT32 file system limits a single file's size to 4GB (see here). Normally, a FAT32 partition can be no larger than 32GB, but I remember using a utility on a Windows machine years ago that somehow broke that rule.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
If you use a format utility and increase the cluster size (4k is default with max file of 4 gig) it allows for larger file use.

As we now that our phones have flash bleed in SO(SuperOtomatic) mode. There is no bleed in Manual mode. Tonight I discovered someting new about this issue . I set super otomatic mode and i use flash, but there is no flash bleed on the taken picture. But in this case i set flash mode to toarch which is always on. If i set flash mode to auto, red eye or filled mode in the same picture with same low lights condition. There is flash bleed. But in toarch mode there is no flash bleed. Interesting...

As a result i use SO mode + Flash and the flash bleed fix. So we can understand that there is no problem with back plastic cover. So i believe that we can fix it by modding the stock cam app...

Can anybody mode this app 's flash on settings as when we use flash (not on and off always on for 5 sec). İf this happen we can fix this issue.

The auto mode tries to make the darks lighter this reinforcing the flash bleeding effect.

Unfortunately the flash bleeding effect on low light conditions is very real and hardware related.

[HTC One S] 808phone:
I have been running CandyKat + Insanity for a few days now with stock brightness settings (which is actually really bright). Along with Greenify.

I still get good battery life. Probably around 3-4 hours screen on, and all day use. To my surprise, I do seem to get long run times with video - I tested 5 percent per half hour. So if it continues - 10 percent per hour. That's a long time - that means the phone can play movies for 9+ hours. I was using the Snap movie viewer.

I'm assuming you don't have insurance, right? To do it yourself you need to be pretty comfortable with using a heatgun and all that. It's not just taking a few screws off (sadly). But if you want to try it, here are some links to help you.

You mean the digitizer? It's possible, but much much harder and most people who try just ending up messing up the AMOLED panel underneath.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nyagu:
Just FYI, any installation of aftermarket parts voids any warranty you may have.

So first I would give Sammy or T-mobile a call and see if they can fix it for you for a fee.

May be a little more expensive but at least you will keep your warranty in case something else goes wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Biker1:
There are shops that can change the Glass Only, as long as the Digitizer and LCD are operative.

Since you only have a hairline crack, the glass only can be replaced.

It is a tough job, but for techs that do it often, it can be done without issue.

If the tech screws it up, he has to go it again ;)

Many shops change the whole assembly, even with a hairline crack, because the job is much quicker to do.

It is also more than twice the cost, as compared to changing the glass only, if applicable.

Approx. $100-125 vs. $250-275.

This is what I suggest:

- Look up on the Web for Samsung S5 Screen Repair in your area.

There are facilities where you can mail in your S5 for repair, but I like to walk into a shop and come back to pick it up.

- price for glass change should be approx. $100-125

- job takes about 2 1/2 hours.

- make sure the facility uses LOC (Liquid Optical Cement) and not double sided tape.

LOC does a better job adhering the glass to the Digitizer/LCD and maintaining sensitivity touch control. A UV device is used to set the LOC.

- ask about their warranty on parts and labor. Customary is 30-90 days. Ymmv.

- ask to see what parts that are using. Ask if Samsung OEM

- inspect the job after completion regarding:

- any visibly bubbles

- sensitivity

- overall job quality

- feedback regarding the shop of your choice

My S4 glass needed replacement, and everything was fine.

The shop said the S5 glass would be the same price for a glass change, $100.

Good luck ;)
