Can't use the theme store because you are missing a few APKs in the build. I don't have my n7 with me but I think they're the xaomiaccount.apk and the xaomistore.apk or something like that. I'll elaborate more on that later.

Good Evening,

Is anyone able to help me in regards to the installation of customs roms for this phone. Can anyone rrun through a complete step by step process to install the fastboot drivers (Windows 8) and install CWM.

Kind Regards. :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahrukhqasim:
Have you installed the respective drivers and what stage are you on?

Here are the basic steps:

1. You need to root the ROM.

2. You need to install custom recovery.

3. You need to need to put the ROM on the phone and flash from it.

If your bootloader is unlockable, the process will be easy. Just unlock the bootloader and flash custom kernel.

---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

For rooting, use towel root from here https://towelroot.com/ - click the lamba icon and an apk will be downloaded. Install it on your phone and it will be rooted in no time. Then custom recoveries from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2649923

That's for locked bootloaders. Then you'll need to boot into custom recovery. (Pressing camera, volume up or volume down button when phone starts and blue light appears). Then factory reset (don't format system or anything) and install custom ROM. Simple!

Happy flashing - if you have any queries, I'll be glad to help!

PS: Press thanks if helped you ;)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfgamaral:
After looking up a bit on USB car chargers, many people seem to recommend the Scosche Dual USB Car Charger (reVOLT 12W + 12W). Each USB port outputs 2.4A of power to charge any device (there's a known issue with this charger for some non Apple devices, you should use charge-only USB for those), but our HTC One stock charger outputs only 1A.

I am afraid a fast car charger like this one will easily overheat my battery, charging it much faster than usual and degrading its lifespan. Should I worry about this or can I order this charger and not worry about it?

I'm confused because a lot of people recommend car chargers like this one (with more output power than what the stock charger of your device gives you) and no review mentions the issue I'm raising here. Is this a non-issue?

Would appreciate more information on this topic from more knowledgeable people in this area.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_M_V_S:
I'm no expert here but it is my understanding that the phone will take what it requires to charge no matter if you have a 1A or a 2A charger meaning that you will be wasting the power delivered by the charger. I don't think it will affect the battery nor will make it charge faster as I think the internal logic of the phone would not permit so. It could also be the case that HTC limited the power output on the charger but not on the phone meaning that in this case it will charge faster, and I think degrading battery life. Anyway, if you have someone with a higher amp charger you can test this yourself by measuring the time it takes to fully charge with the original charger and the other one. It will not really have an impact in battery life if you just try.

I guess I didn't respond to your question actually! :p Sorry
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfgamaral:
Thanks anyway :)

But if anyone knows the answer for a fact, please pitch in...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remusator:
You definitely aren't expert, neither am I, but there are couple things:

You were right about that, that device should pull only as much as it needs.

But he won't waste power (in ideal world). As the phone pulls only 1A from 1A or from 2A charger, he still be pulling 5Vx1A = 5W.

Now, to the original question.

Basically every device pulls as much as it can / needs. The Amps on charger says about how much can it deliver maximum.

The question is, how is constructed htc charging circuit. Whether it relays on maximum from charger, or it has internal limitor..

I will try to make an example to make it clearer:

Imagine, that you have a tube made of glass and a reservoir full of water. Tube is your phone and reservoir is charger.

Now, 2 situations can ocur:

1, Tube is made of very thin glass and it relays, that there won;'t be bigger pressure (more water) in reservoir. If there would be more, tube would crack.

2, Although tube is made of thin glass, it has some mechanism included, let's say pressure regulator on the beginning to reduce the pressure.

Now the question is, which of these cases is our phone about.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarekElsakka:
In short, the HTC One will pull only 1A out of your charger, regardless of whether it's 2A or 100A. The only way you can make it pull more than 1A is by installing a custom kernel like ElementalX or Bulletproof and ticking on 'Enable USB fast charge' which is disabled by default because it shortens the battery's life.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_M_V_S:
What I meant to say is that it would be wasting a 2A charger whilst the phone only seems to require 1A, not meaning that the charger will still be delivering at maximum capacity (2A).

Guess none of us could answer his question as we still don't know how the phone handles the charge.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul_Bags:
Subjective answer from an anonymous noob, but I charge my phone with a 2.1A wall charger (built into a power board) and there's no perceptible change in charge rate. I've also used a cheap portible charger, a lithium 800mA, and that battery gets HOT like my m7 is pulling 1A just because it detects it's not limited to usbs 500mA (the power dialog reports AC charging mode).

So it seems to me to be a simple 2 mode as shown as a status in the power dialog, either usb or AC. But, I haven't actually measured or tested anything; this is all just casual observation and assumption.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynisterWolf:
Can I blow up my USB device?

There is a huge variance, then, between normal USB 2.0 ports rated at 500mA and dedicated charging ports which range all the way up to 2100mA. This leads to a rather important question: If you take a smartphone which came with a 1A wall charger, and plug it into a 2A iPad charger, will it blow up?

In short, no: You can plug any USB device into any USB cable and into any USB port, and nothing will blow up — and in fact, using a more powerful charger should speed up battery charging.

The longer answer is that the age of your device plays an important role, dictating both how fast it can be charged, and whether it can be charged using a wall charger at all. In 2007, the USB Implementers Forum released the Battery Charging Specification, which standardized faster ways of charging USB devices, either by pumping more amps through your PC’s USB ports, or by using a wall charger. Shortly thereafter, USB devices that implemented this spec started to arrive.

Fast forward to 2013 and the HTC One. It is equipped with a USB 2.0 port and when no data is transferred it will accept a charge up to 1A with a minimal standard of 500mA. When you buy a charger that says 2A output, this normally means a max of 2A for the charger. When it comes to charging the phone, the phone will only pull enough power it can from the charger and not more.

Now a days Car charger is so essential for us. But when we chose A Car charger for our device its not match, so it s harmful for us & its some time cases to damage our device.

Most of the time The power out put of the car its 12V or 24V. and The Charger give different out put for different device. And its a major thing about the charger whats Ampere given output. Avantek Car charger give us different option ; I think its give different out for our device. Avantek take also help auto adjust to the device. So its protect the device.

Yes, fast usb car chargers may harm your device. Because if device get power more than its capacity then it would be definitely harm your costly devices. So please purchase a perfect and valuable charger for your devices long life.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathblade:
Also quick note using a charger that charges your device faster will decrease the life of your battery, remember slow charging is best for the battery and that goes for all batteries
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1xinfusion:
To answer conclusively as I have before:

I've had many many many phones and this is what I've learned over the years through experience and a lot of searching. Our phones are designed for whatever rating it is on the stock charger, which is 1A. However we have chargers that support more current. Which leads us into the next part.

Phones will only "pull" what is it rated for. It controls the final pressure valve in the water metaphor. In this example. Our phones are rated 1A Max @ stock kernel. "Extra power" isnt and cannot used up due to this rating. hence no extra loss except on your wallet. Fast charge raises the rating and limits vary from kernel to kernel. I've used my phone with a 2.4a charger + fast charge enabled before and its fine. Its a little warm (more on that in next paragraph) I'm on "dirty unicorns" ROM and I haven't gotten around to checking the limits

Regardless.. Whether it is detrimental to your phone battery is personal choice as having the % below 40 and heat is #1 enemy to batteries. Our batteries are designed for 5 years max anyway. If you want to play it safe, get a 1A charger and a max 6ft cable as more = less current. Make sure this cable is not from eBay or has sufficient guage size as the copper in some eBay cables can be thinner than your hair. This is important.

If you're looking for unpractical long term savings. Keep your phone room temperature within its temperature rating. Keep charge above 40%, optimally around 80% as lithium batteries degenerate when kept near 100% for too long. (See how frail our current battery designs are? There are higher battery tech our there, but due to cost none are in phones)

I've had horrible horrible power efficiency Roms before and as worst, it just stays on one % value without dropping (no fast charge, 1a charger)

Charging only cables are useless because since 4.3 kernels, android supports iPhone chargers as well.

In addition, car chargers have built in voltage regulators in them, our 12v car source can actually range from 8v to 30v depending on conditions. 8v on crank, and during cold days, 14.4 alternator running, 24v on car boosts. Most car 12v ports are unregulated and Most car chargers operate around 11-15v and give off excess power as heat. Given this, in truly exceptional cases, unless you deliberately overload the charger, we're still good as 5v from a GOOD charger are pretty stable for the phone. Monoprice sells good chargers with good electronic internals for a very good price. Bad chargers pass off this electrical noise to your phone.

TL-Dr.. no difference between 2.4a and 1a. Phone takes what it is rated for(1a). Extra isn't used. Fast charge kernels can increase this rating at a slight warming of phone. In all cases, heat / below 40% = more detrimental to battery life than current speeds. Get a good cable with good gauge size. (Copper width)

If you need further proof, google the terms I have presented or search XDA. There has been many "conclusive" posts on this matter and you'll find many of them say this same exact thing.

Phew.. What a long post.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schriss:
HTC m7 can take max 1.5A but it seem to not work with many chargers, in such case it falls back to 1A.

But if youre using the phone for GPS navigation, then charging faster will just make it more hot (hot from usage + even more hot from charging) and it will stop charging anyway (because of the heat).

Also, heat is biggest enemy of batteries, the hotter it gets while charging the worse it is for the battery.

I have this Blue Angel or I-mate PDA2K for a couple months ago. It's working fine for a while. One day, I notice the touch screen LCD performance kind of slow. I decided to soft reset it. I did several times..it didn't fix the problem...then I decided to hard reset it. After I hard reset it...all the suddenly, the touch screen LCD not working at all. Does any1 know how to fix this problem? Let me know, thank you! Do you think if I upgrade ROM to Windows Mobile 5....will fix the problem? Just a thought. Have a great day.

I see "voicecommand.apk" in /system/app. Does it work? How to use?

I know I can install google search with google now features. I am just trying to figure out what some of the pre-installed stuff actually does.

Also what does "Omacp.apk" do? Sounds like a man in the middle SMS attack???

And YGPS.apk does what?

This is only my second MTK device. Have only really 'hacked' around on Allwinner devices. Seems like there is a whole new set of bloat/mal/spyware for each SOC!
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
"Omacp.apk"- Can be found on multiple devices including those from Samsung. Even found in some CM builds. Has to do with SMS notifications.

YGPS.apk- Found on every MTK device with a GPS and is key to GPS function.

mal/spyware on this device is deeper than some generic apps. Think OTA system and other core system level apps. And with as many ancient security holes as the firmware has, I don't see them getting fixed. Some of the holes go as far back as mid-2012. Allwinner devices are a fortress compared to the TS.
[Ornate TrueSmart] walscobry:
ok cool so far

Thanks Loki.

I did try to google those (and others) only finding useless stubs of info. jaded comment: I *know* it is a android app --> the apk is on my android device. DOH? Useless websites, click bait.

One thing I like about 4.2.2 is you can still do the vold.fstab tricks. So my external 32Gb (from omate) is my internal SD. Now I need to look into repartitioning the internal emmc for more app /data storage. Wondering if this MTKrepartion app I found will work? HEX editing ERBs does not sound like fun yet.

I removed YGPS based on its permission list (everything!) between my post and reading your reply and quickly went from "seeing" 11 sats with no signal from any of them to a lock with 5 strong and 4 good signals while indoors behind the metal bars on my window (ground level in the city). My Nexus 7 has a hard time getting a lock in this spot.

Now I have been leaving chartcross GPS test running with it in the window frame a few times while doing other things. Had no SIM in it yet so AGPS was out and I guess the last place it had a lock was Hong Kong? So maybe that was just the right moment for it to sync up but odd. I had been "seeing" 9-14 sats off and on but never any signal bars until then.

One last thing this round: I can not get TWRP recovery to 'stick'. I have removed "recovery-from-boot.p" but still no stick. I even used DD command to copy/install manually as root. scratching head. FYI on newest firmware via OTA update.

OK not the last thing. This is. How to add a icon to the launcher (not OUI) manually for an existing app?

Hi

just about to buy this phone for my GF. Only worry is the often mentioned sluggishness in the reviews. is is that bad ? any android version doing better at that ? or do you need to tune it ?

she had sk17i so far (until it broke) and it was good enough, similar specs I think.

Cheers
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Phalangioides:
Don't buy it if you still can - there are much more better phones

J hardware was already crap when it came out and faulty models are the reasons why it's considered as slow device.

As of real amount of sluggishness it depends from phone to phone - mine works smoothly at any rom.

You can do many things if it's slow - factory reset, greenify, overlocking, various tweaks and mods, trying cm10
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] przemke:
Allright, thanks for opinion, the one i was about to buy - sbody got it earlier ;)

So it depends on the given version ? We have low budget so sk15i / sk17i was some checked good one in that priced range and for a bigger screen alternative thats the one I found. I have to mention though that I take sar ratings into consideration as well (whatever conttroversy may be around it). If you have any suggestion let me know :)

not sure about windows phone but Lumias like 610 or 710 are in budget range too

Htc incredible s is an alright phone. Check out galaxy s,htc desire s, galaxy ace 2 if you want to.
