Happy to help:o

Good luck with it;)

BACKUP YOU DATA BEFORE YOU TRY IT!!!:fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mishraomi:
Ok well it seems there was some issue with my phone.

So I thought of repairing it first with PC Companion coz i wanted to be on safe side.

I was successful in repairing my phone.

Everything is fine. but after repairing I lost the root access.

That repair fixed everything.

Now I have couple of doubts which I think should be clear before I proceed for installing custom recovery and gaining root access

1) if I just flash the recovery using flashtool will that be fine? And then flash the SuperSu same way via flash tool.

2) I read in an article, the author there unlocked the bootloader, then flashed the Cwm recovery and then flashed the Doomlord's Advance Kernel with Cwm recovery.

My question is why did the author flashed the kernel again. Can't we just flash the recovery that's it?

And I guess to flash the Doomlord's Advance Stock Kernel unlocking of boot loader ws done? Is it true?

Thanks

Success is never final, failure is never fatal, it's courage that counts.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfreak70:
1- you cant flash recovery or superSU with flashtool, its used only to flash stock roms FTF

2- you can unlock the bootloader and then flash the kernel

But you tried to install using the installed that i gave you after repair the phone?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mishraomi:
I didn't do anything...i was going to try your method of flashing FTF stock rom.

so i just connected my phone to pc and then opened PC Companion to make backup of my important files.

Then PC Companion showed me that there is update available for system.

So i just updated my phone, it showed me updates available may be because, i have already removed all the bloatware so i guess to install them again that update was showing up

I went through that update process, and my phone rebooted and every single bloatware was restored back to my phone added i lost root access

at this point of time i think my phone completely free from any issues so its good to start again.

Now i have to start again from the begining.

this is the article i was talking about.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denny1000:
Hey. I have a Galaxy S4 I 9505 LTE. I have Pimp my Rom and it's rooted. Unfortunately i have changed the DPI (the size). Okay, it was small. Then i tried to set it back. I tried other options of DPI. After the reboot, there was no homescreen or anything else. Everytime i click "ok" on "Touchwiz stopped working", it appears again. i can hold the power button to set internet off and on, reboot, activate flightmode. But that's it.

i want to reset the screen, but im not sure if it's possible and if it is, how. Otherwise I would like to save all my files and reset my phone.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Reflash the rom you are on without wiping. Maybe only wipe cache and dalvik.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
I don't think reflashing the ROM is going to work as it'll preserve the existing system settings.

Maybe get into the system directory through recovery and delete the init.d file, then reflash the ROM. If the DPI change is being controlled through init.d then that might zero it out.

As for saving the files, make a Nandroid backup of the broken rom the way it is now. Then if you screw it up any further you can always go back to where you are now to try different fixes.

Also, once you have your apps and data saved in a Nandroid you can get them back later if you have to flash an all new ROM

Was playing with the different camera modes the other day when my camera started acting funky. It looks like its out of focus but upon closer inspection i noticed my lens is actually moving around with the image stabilization. Pictures from far away arnt as affected but anything within 10 feet just comes out blurry. The picture also looks like its jumping around when your lining up your shot. Tried resetting the camera settings, manual focus and even a 3rd party camera app with no change. Was wondering if anyone knew of a way to disable the ois, or fix the problem all together?

Loved this phone but its just one problem after another, might just jump ship soon.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkjambo:
i think your camera focus is broken , replacement costs ~15$ on ebay ...

mine also won't work correctly, it's like it's in macro mode , i removed battery cover and pushed lens with finger and it focused on far objects . so this means focus is not working
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeinaus:
Its the optical image stabilization not the auto focus. I can see the af trying to correct for the ois but the lens is constantly moving really fast making the picture all jumpy.

I can physically see the lens moving back and forth about a 32nd or 16th of an inch constantly

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xeon3D:
Hi.

I don't post much, I know, but I've been a lurker for quite a while. Anyway, long story short, I had a SGS for a while and by then (when it was new and shiny and the best thing of the world) every (or almost every) custom rom had something that distinguished it from the others (even with all the locked and closed source stuff). Either a new launcher, supercharged scripts, themes... you probably know what I mean. Fast-forward to 2014 and here I am with a brand new Nexus 5 with readily available source and binaries... I mean it's the or one of the most open phones in the world.

But, every custom ROM, be it stock or CM based, looks the same to me. Sure, names differ a lot (Dark UI, Black Carbon Fibers or whatever it is) but the overall functionality is the same. Innovation (or Imagination?) is near null values.

Apart from a few (SlimKat comes to mind even tho it has much of the functionality of the others, it's quite small in size compared) every rom looks the same. Not to mention there is quite less roms available for the device than for others.

Note that by saying this I mean no disrespect to the cookers or kitchen teams. Their work is highly appreciated.

Is it just me? Am I missing something?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
Because every dev is building their ROMs using the same source.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
by look the same, you mean theming? you can do your own theming. nexus devices are lucky, they have access to source and the binaries, the other devices dont. from what i see, most other devices try to get aosp working on them, but dont fully or in a non hacky way. so they try other stuff with their roms, like more theming. people mostly buy nexus devices because they lack all the oem thrown in stuff and run pure android. the developers buy nexus devices for the same reason. generally, there isnt much demand for theming a nexus rom. nexus people like the basic android ui, as well as the developers. plus, id say that the over all age of nexus users is a little older than other android phones, and theming is more prefered by children and teenagers.

oh, and btw, nexus developers only use open source code, as its illegal to publish anything public using closed sourced code. anyways, nexus is all ooen source code, except for the binaries.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xeon3D:
While all my examples were about theming, I didn't want to focus just on theming. I don't see roms using custom launchers or even a custom theme or kernel.. Nor do they integrate apps from other devices or from the market/devs here on XDA. Every cm11 based rom is pretty much the same functionality wise and I don't even want to talk about the stock based ones.

I thought that nexus owners being them users or developers bought the devices because it would be easier to use or create custom roms for them due to the openness of the system.

Also if it is illegal to post stuff with closed source code (and I know it is) why do all the other devices have a ****load of roms with proprietary stuff in them?? They're still pretty much available here (I'm thinking of the live with Walkman forum)..

Most roms there have stuff from newer and better devices which do actually work and that phone is really poor on terms of hardware specs.

It seems to me that most cookers for the nexus 5 are cooking the same dish but calling it different names because they might plate it In a different way.

It's a bit late now for me now, but I guess sooner or later I'm going to create a deviation of the rom list available as a Google document here and try every rom and compare them feature wise. So I can know for sure if I'm right with what I say here or if it's just a product of my imagination.
