[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 73RM1N470R:
Hello, Im new here, Just heard about XDA and how its the best forum (knowledge-wise) out there. I dont have enough knowledge and experience with smartphones (Im more of a PC freak, building and hardware and stuff) but smartphones are a whole different subject.

lately Im having some "hangings" on my Galaxy Note 2 (N7100, 4.1.2 stock) it started when browsing firefox, and continuing to Whatsapp, it started freezing for a minute or so.. (which is quite a long period of time like u probably know.)

I started checking the whole Root&ROMs subject, and also found out that there's a way to update my phone to Android 4.3 JellyBean.

so here are my q's , What is the most CURRENT stable OFFICIAL OS (from what I saw online there's no 4.4.2 for Isarel-ILO (if it matters at all? Because I've seen a few official EU versions from various countries) and people just get a custom ROM of 4.4.2 to run it and also that quite a few ppl on here had some issues with it and were pretty happy about 4.3. So what do u think ?

also, I will probably need the best ROM for the OS you will recommend next (from what I read ROMs can boost phone performence) but I am not sure about it yet

but I am certain that I'm gonna root my phone, but can u tell me exactly how does rooting help ? I mean in which aspects and such..?

Thank you very much in advance, 73RM1N470R.

** just fyi, I figured I'd hard reset my phone and then update the Android to 4.3/4.4.2 which would help the hanging issue , and then root it. (not 100% sure about the ROMs..) :rolleyes:

Is reading PDF without zooming to make the text appear bigger in portrait mode possible ?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spere:
Maby changing DPI of your app, of course if you are rooted. Or checking settings of that app you are using, if theres some option to change font size?

Edit: There's an option to select font scale on AppSettings, if you have that installed
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisSG:
Are you using a PDF reader that supports cropping pages so that none of the portrait screen is wasted on page margins (ezPDF Pro , Mantano Reader Premium, eDroid Pro)? It will of course depend on what you are reading; some technical journals (e.g. Science) have small text in their printed versions.

Reading this page in PerfectViewer (With PFD Plugin) shows the regular body text as 9.5pt, without zoom.

For me, that's perfectly readable.

Hey community:

So my Problem is that I want to change the action for long-pressing the hardware keys.....

Well I know that all key functions are stored in the 'generic.kl' document, but I can't find the script or document for the long press actions anywhere do you guys have any idea where this could be stored???? I mean it has to be somewhere otherwhise the device would not know what to do if someone's long-pressing a hardware button......?! Would be very use- helpful!:fingers-crossed:

And I don't want to install any other launcher.

My device is the Samsung Galaxy S4 (but that's not really from interest, I guess, cause the generic.kl and those other documents are on every Android device)

I'm running kind of a stock Rom (Samy Deluxe S4 - M)

Hope anyone can help me! :o

I want to test some stuff before I want to cook a new Rom (that will be released to the community).

I'm gonna add some files to the Rom, but I also want to delete some files from the Rom. I already have some ideas of the files I am going to delete, but I want to delete as much as possible from the Rom that is not needed.

So I want to create a list here with files that can permenantly be deleted from a Rom (in my opinion).

For starters:

- Pictures in \My Documents\My Pictures

- Music in \My Documents\My Music

- Video in \My Documents\ My Videos

- Wifi_Init.lnk

- Init_Tray.lnk

- IA_Zip.exe

- Zip.lnk

- Help_Zip.lnk

- Zip_(ht).html

- Flower.jpg

- Waterfall.jpg

- Downloadagent.exe

- dlagent.exe

- Download Agent.lnk

- HTCABOUTLOGO.bmp

- PowerPoint + shortcut (Who uses it anyway? :) )

Who will make this list complete....

Have been running Cloudy G3 for a while on my D800 with no problems. Just last night I switched to ART instead of Dalvik, because i saw that the 1.2 version of CLoudyG3 supported it. Immediately my phone went black and has been unresponsive. l cannot even get it the LG logo to pop up. It came up once, but never again. its as if it is completely lifeless... Only mod i was running was Exposed mainly for the APM and Lockscreen flashlight.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martin Lawrense:
I flashed the latest Cynanogenmod 11 Nightly (Backed up my existing rom, then formatted, then flashed cynanogenmod plus gapps).

When I turned on the phone a message came up saying 'Insert Sim Card you need to refer to the sim card instructions that came with your phone'.

I couldn't do anything to make my phone recognise that there was a sim. I reflashed my backup and the sim works so its not the sim.

I tried flashing other stock android roms and they all have the same problem. Pls help

I'm not sure what you mean. Other roms work perfectly. Only stock android roms don't work.

And if I'm just being thick and dont understand you, do u have a way of fixing it?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roman-santos:
I installed a software update and it asked me to install it, so i did after that i rebooted and thats when it all happened.

The main reason I do not want to factory reset is because I have photos that I didn't get the chance to backup. So if there is a way to avoid factory resetting or a way I could somehow access photos, backup it up then factory reset.

My phone is stock, it has been rooted before though if that matters. As i turn the phone on LG logo shows up, straight after that i get text on the top left of the screen saying "boot cerfification verify" and other stuff then goes into a black screen and stays like that until I turn it off.

- Not able to get into download mode

- CAN GET INTO RECOVERY BUT I WANT TO AVOID IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bad_HABIT:
If you can get into recovery, you can export your photos to the computer by using adb pull.

There might be another way but this is how I know

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndiTails:
Can it be done?

It seems you have to run either Sense or GPe to get the HTC Gallery and the UFocus etc. Duo Camera features.

Am I missing something here - why can't these be lifted from the GPe ROMs to work on AOSP ROMs such as PA?

It's obviously harder to lift from Sense due to the libs -- but don't see why it's difficult from GPe to AOSP?

Just curious!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
It's still down to libs and proprietary files from HTC. Without them it won't work

Also, questions go in Q&A ;)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndiTails:
Apologies for the forum faux pas!

Sorted by Ghost, however ;)

So it's still difficult to lift these proprietary libs from a GPe ROM to get it working in AOSP then?

I understand lifting from Sense is a lot harder as it's so integrated, but surely GPe & AOSP are a lot more 'compatible'?

Since HTC Gallery is available in the Play Store, and it's essentially this which does the 'Editing' on GPe - another way would be to just get this not spout "Not compatible with your device" when its installed on an AOSP ROM - because it will install! Just not run ;)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
GPe still has elements of Sense in it, as it uses Boomsound, Gestures, etc. so there are parts that still need the HTC framework to run so I'm assuming the camera app and the like need it
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndiTails:
Well, I've now moved to GPe.

But - HTC Gallery says its Not Compatible in the Play Store.

Whereas, on Paranoid Android, I could at least download it - but when running it, I got a message saying it wasn't compatible.

I thought the HTC Gallery app would allow updated to HTC Photo Edit under GPe ROMs?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
It's already built into the ROM. In the camera app, slide to open a picture and then go to 'Edit' and it's in there - you don't use the Gallery app at all
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndiTails:
I understand that - but it's not the updated version with the UFocus "blur amount" slider, etc. which was released via the Play Store..

The description in the Play Store says that it only updates the HTC Photo Edit part on GPe, but it won't install to allow it to update.!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Might not be made available for the GPe yet...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndiTails:
Well, I force updated the HTC Gallery app using the APK from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2696399 It installs as an update to htc.albun.com which is already installed but doesn't show a Launcher icon. Gallery now appears, but doesn't work - and HTC Photo Edit has disappeared, so removing the option to use UFocus, etc!!

Argh.

So App Info -> Uninstall Updates -- and I'm back to no Gallery icon, but HTC Photo Edit is still callable from Edit on a picture.

Meh.

I'll stop messing now. It'll do!

Hi,

I rooted using towelroot several weeks ago and disabled Knox with the help of SuperSu. I've had several weeks of rooted happiness, but this morning my phone informed me that there were new security policy updates available and I was wondering if these are safe to install or whether they will interfere with the root process or trip the Knox counter.

Any advice as to whether I should apply this update?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4751:
Best way is to install Titanium Backup from the play store if you don't have it and just freeze all the apps in the screen clip attached then you wont get any of these security messages, unless the phone is being used for business purposes by an employer they are not important, Knox is meant for business security not every day users.

Hey there.. So you got your cover replaced under warranty. Does yours act the same after the replacement ? Mine picked up scratches again. However they aren't noticeable that much, until you clean it with a glass cleaner and put it under an led light, here I used the usb pc led.

Last question. Did they damage a part of the body, somewhere near the top and/or bottom speaker grills, to open the device ? Mine was damaged a bit.. But that hardly matters. The stupid screen has got two big scratches after the repair. :(

Can you please confirm the same whether your device was treated in a similar way ? Thanks in advance :good:

[LG Optimus 4X HD] pilux_han:
Since a couple of months I have been running the P880 nightly builds and they have all had the problem below. Currently I am on CM11-20140713-NIGHTLY-p880.

When my phone is in silent mode, you can still hear the notification sounds. It does not matter where the phone is set to vibrate or whether the sound is just turned off (usually selected through holding the power button and selecting one of the silent modes). This only applies to notification sounds, i.e. when the phone rings you cannot hear this.

You can also reproduce this by putting the phone in a silent mode and under Settings->Sound->Notifications selecting any of the sounds. You will be able to hear the sound selected. When I try this on a different type device using the same version of CM11, you cannot hear the notification sounds in silent mode.

Any suggestions?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
Really? Sounds like a serious issue then. I too encountered this with Hangouts in vibration mode. Also sometimes it's the opposite, notification sounds don't work when not silenced, need to reset volume.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] pilux_han:
It can indeed be quite embarrassing in a meeting :o

What surprises me a bit is that the basic silent functionality works for phone calls, but not for notifications. I had not expected that to be a device dependent feature.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] creativeusernamea:
I had this problem a while ago. If you look in sound settings, there'll be an option when you press "volumes" saying "silent mode affects notifications". If this isn't ticked, tick it. For me, it was greyed out until I deselected "link ringtone and notifications volumes", so I unchecked that, then checked both. See if that works :)

That worked. How obscure. Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] keeekeeess:
Hello to all,

I am planning on going in a location where the 3G signal isn't that good because of the distance to the antenna.

I was wondering if a 3G modem would get a better signal than my Moto G. For example, I was looking into this modem: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/network-wifi/3520635/tp-link-m5360-review/.

What do you guys think? Does a modem like that get better signal than a phone?
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
I'm sure it is possible, but I highly doubt it.

Whatever amount of signal you are getting from the tower is all your going to get.

The only way it would work better is if the radio programming is better than your phone. The only way to tell that would be to try it.
[General Questions and Answers] keeekeeess:
I was thinking that because the router/modem doesn't have to be flat like a phone, they could have put some better hardware inside of it, which is bulkier. So this is not the case?
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
Honestly, it is possible, but unless you actually try it, there is no way to tell.

I have had modems similar to this before and the signal was crap.

There is no good answer here, other than, you will have to test it to know.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mtnbst:
Several months ago I purchased the nexus 7 2013 wifi version. In my tiredness after a long day I unlocked, rooted then flashed a custom rom (aokp) my build numbers is KVT49L instead of KVT49H. I must have flashed the LTE version in error.

I'm trying to upgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4. Wugfresh toolkit doesn't work, also unfathomables tool won't work either.

I have been rooting, swapping kernels, unlocking bootloaders and flashing custom since the Droid x days.

I assume I need to use ADB? I am having a hard time finding specific instructions on how to complete this minor upgrade to 4.4.4. In afraid to try anything being on the build for a different version of my device.

any suggestions are appreciated.

I apologize in advance if I left out any critical info regarding my situation.

Also are the tool kits not working because I'm on the incorrect build?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mtnbst:
K... so, does anyone have any thoughts about just flashing KVT49H rom over what I have?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mhannigan:
Why isn't the toolkit working with flash stock and unroot? You should be able to select the option that says it is in a boot loop... And for current version, you can select anything you want - that is what it will flash when you do the flash stock and unroot.

If that doesn't work, where specifically does it fail?

It goes into bootloader mode and does not come out. Toolkits worked fine on N7 v1. I am attempting to un root and revert to stock.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mhannigan:
Toolkit works on v2 as well. When you do the flash stock and unroot, you have to select the option that says your phone is soft bricked.

If that doesn't work, when you are in the bootloader, are you at least able to use the volume buttons and power to select recovery?
