Hi ! i have a tablet with Allwinner A31S cpu 8inch with 4.2.2 JB, the manufacter of my tablet has another tablet model with 9inch screen but the specs are exactly the same as mine 8inch, but the 9inch has already kitkat 4.4.2 . I tried to install the rom on my 8inch but the image is all pink and green, the touch doenst work, but Wifi and others things works.

Its possible to use my touchscreen and display drivers of 4.2.2 , and port it to 4.4kitkat to use it on my tablet? How ?

thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterAwesome:
If you have a device which isn't mediatek and has the kernel source available, you could build the boot.IMG required for running kitkat on your phone since you said same specs, you'd only need to change the boot.IMG.

Good luck

There is no custom recovery for our phone. I hope that someone will be able to build one. I've got the Hong Kong version and flashed it with Taiwan rom because it was 10D and I had 10b.

http://www.lg-phones.org/official-lg-g-pro-2-d838-v10e-firmware-rom.html you need to download the 16GB version.

you can flash it with this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2797190

[LG G Pro 2] kailashnj:
Hi Sarvesh,

Even I am in need for the LG Indian version rom but its not available and hence I did not even root. If you install the Hong Kong version and need to go for the warranty repairs. LG CS will detect that the rom has been changed and hence will not give warranty. This is the only reason I have not rooted my phone yet.

guys is there a way to extract the rom from the phone directly. If yes, can you please guide me so that I can extract the rom and save it somewhere in the cloud so that everyone can benefit.

Kailash

Hi Guys,

I dont see why you can't root your phones. You can always come back to stock using the LG Mobile Support tool. I had softbricked my phone a few weeks back and was able to restore my phone with stock LG ROM losing the root access.
[LG G Pro 2] roykulkarni:
Hi Sarvesh,

I kind thought of that but after rooting. So after changing a lot of ROMS and playing with the system i finally got a way out (just incase i need warranty) Can you send me a screenshot of your software version screen(Settings>About phone>Software information) ?

Here's what i tried.

1) Installed a custom rom

2) then installed a stock rom HKG version 10a

3) then i ran towelroot again to root the device

4) then edited build.prop file to edit information like build version, build number etc)

5) rebooted and saw the info. it worked. Then unrooted the phone.

IT WORKED > So basically i have stock rom which shows I have the Indian version

Please pm me the screenshot or send it here and i'll tell you every line that you need to edit. :good:
[LG G Pro 2] Sarvesh Sawant:
Hi Roy,

Thanks for suggesting me this. the software details of my G Pro 2 are here:

Android version: 4.4.2

Baseband version: M897A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190084

Hard reset - From Korean to English language

Hi Roy/Sarvesh,

Even I bought this phone in India and under Software Information i find the same details. One more thing I noticed, in Hard rest mode it shows in Korean language and not in English. Even, I need stock rom for India. Please help.
[LG G Pro 2] roykulkarni:
Hi Sarvesh,

Sorry for a delayed response, was out of connectivity areas. Looks like you have already installed a different stock. Because as far as i know the sotware version should have -IND-XX at the end.....However,

Once you have root, download and install the build.prop editor (you'll find it on google play)

Once done edit the following entries.

-ro.build.display.id =KOT49i.D83810d

- ro.lge.swversion= D83810d-IND-XX

(where 'd' is the version...fo it can be f as well. But keep both same)

That should make your ROM look like stock indian.

Then using supersu pro unroot the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Renan Melo:
So, I have flashed franco kernel from the auto-flash on the app. It worked, but I have experienced some lag issues with it and now I wish to return to stock kernel.

So I did a little searching and found out I had to download boot.img and system.img from google and flash it on adb to return my kernel to stock.

Only problem is that, when I enter the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" or "fastboot flash system system.img", a message saying "<waiting for device>" shows up and no matter how much I wait, it won't do anything.

I have installed and uninstalled, updated and and deleted adb, fastboot and usb drivers several times. Also, when I enter "adb devices", my device DOES show up! I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong.

Oh, also, everytime I reinstall adb and the drivers and type for the very first time "adb devices" on command prompt, it activates daemon tools and windows start searching for softwares.

I've rooted and all went fine with adb, but now I'm not being able to return my kernel to stock.

I tried to give as much detail as possible this time. Please, help. I don't want to wipe my whole device to recover it later.

[I have nandroid backup, but only after I've installed the kernel. Also got titanium backup.]
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
try another usb cable and try another usb port, 2.0 not 3.0. if that doesnt help, try on another pc.

thats all i can think of, sorry
[General Questions and Answers] Renan Melo:
I don't have any USB 2.0 ports on my PC!!! Damn it, never thought that would be such a problem!

Isn't there any other way of removing the kernel? :(

There must be!!
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
you need a 2.0 port. that is 100% the problem.

only other way i could suggest is flash stock, but you will loose all data.
[General Questions and Answers] justmpm:
I think the best place to ask troubleshooting questions for your N5 is here: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/help

I would double check to make sure that your boot.img and your system.img are in the correct place on your PC. It is easiest to place them into the same folder as fastboot or you will have to include the path to the imgs when you flash them.

The other thing could be that your bootloader isn't unlocked.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluevaruns:
Hello all,

After a 2 day search on XDA and other forums, i decided to post a question (hopefully not a repeated one).

Hopefully the answer may be as simple as "NO", but would appreciate any help/guidance :)

1. I am using a unrooted nexus 4 with 4.4.3 update in place. Locked bootloader.

2. The phone died due to battery drain. Upon charging it, the phone boots up but gets stuck at merging circles and doesnt go beyond.

3. Unfortunately, I do not have a complete backup of my pictures (dont know why i stopped taking a backup after a while).

4. Now, the phone do gets into recovery mode etc and i tried wiping the cache, but no luck.

5. The best I could do till now is to have adb installed on my PC. The device does gets detected in adb sideload mode alone.

Is there any way I could take a backup of my /data/media before i try rooting it or do a hard reset?

I tried using adb backup, but all i see as status of the phone as adb sideload (since I am in recovery and tried to use apply update using adb).. hence cant use adb backup -shared ! Any ideas to this data out from the powered OFF phone ?

Thanks for any response in advance.

Regards,

Varun
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph37rd:
You have a custom recovery, correct? Have you tried flashing your ROM?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluevaruns:
I dont think so. I did not make any changes to the ROM (planning to do until now).

Also, it is not a custom recovery but just the recovery mode (from the OEM), that I get with only 4 options :

1. Reboot

2. Use adb to update

3. Wipe data/reset

4. Wipe cache
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluevaruns:
if only I could get into adb mode from adb sideload, i guess i can do a backup -shared ....but not sure how to do that without unlocking boot loader (leading to data loss).

As i recently learned, this is a stock recovery I am into...

Thanks !!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
If you're on the stock recovery I'm afraid you're not going to be able to use adb to pull any files.

Ported - Tab 4 8.0 inch - 4.4.4 Touchwiz Launcher and SecTabletMyFiles2 for Galaxy Note 8

What's this?

Did you hear the news? Samsung just updated T-Mobile's Tab 4 (8 inch - 4.4.4 KTU84P T337TUVU1BNI8) to 4.4.4!. I got the firmware downloaded from sammobile, I extracted, odexed and then ported this baby over to our beloved Note 8 tablet. This is brand new ported

TouchWiz Launcher from 4.4.4 KTU84P T337TUVU1BNI8

. I also made animation much smoother, and a few other improvement. Plus, I am including SecTabletMyFiles2.apk from 4.4.4 as well.

Download

Ported_Tab_4_8inch-4.4.4.TouchWiz_Launcher_by_Jazzespresso.zip

Ported_Tab_4_8inch-4.4.4 SecTabletMyFiles2_by_Jazzespresso.zip - fixed download link

Install Instruction

This is NOT flashable, do not try to attempt to flash it thru recovery!.

This is only deodexed Samsung stock deodexed ROMs version 4.4.X.

Steps:

Make sure you have other 3rd party launcher already installed (such as Nova, Apex launcher..etc) - free version available

Download zip package to your tablet and unzip it, and using root explorer, go to System--> priv-app folder and backup your current SecLauncher3.apk and SecTabletMyFiles2 (samsung's stock myfiles that come with it), and delete them. Repeat, you need to delete old ones.

Copy SecLauncher3.apk and SecTabletMyFiles2.apk comes with my package, and push it system\priv-app folder and give it 644 (-rw-r--r--) permission.

Go to Stettings, and application manager --> all, find touchwiz app, and clear data and cache and reboot your tablet.

Enjoy your brand new 4.4.4 samsung touchwiz launcher and new SecTabletMyFiles2.

Known issue/bug:

Setting up lockscreen wallpaper thru touchwiz (long press on blank screen and touchwiz setting set wallpaper for set lockscreen wallapaper) FCs.

Instead please use Settings --> Display--> Wallpaper --> Lockscreen. I am NOT considering this as major issue, just small bug that I can live with it. So please do not complain about it.

p.s: if some reason you don't like and like to switch to stock one, just delete this two and put back stock ones and reboot.

Usage:

If you want to use this PORT in your own ROM, you only have to give proper credits (and a thank you would be so nice too), just as a way of courtesy, and you do not need ask for permission, but it would be nice if you let me know if you are using it your own ROM and adding proper credits in your OP posting.

I really "shaved" a lot to actually optimized to fit perfect, I just did not want to have a blown up touchwiz of old one, wanted to make it fit nicely, thus smaller icon size, etc..all good stuff, so not sure if 1/2" may screw up others, but will give a try..

O2 Orbit Aerial

Hi. Having used an Exec running the same version of CoPilot, but with a Holux GPSlim 236 BT, the Orbit is definitely slower to TTFF, and sometimes gets a little 'lost'. For a few seconds, it will jump to a street maybe a 100m away, then come back, and recalculate the route again. I feel that an aerial might just improve matters a bit. I have read the previous posts, and am still finding great difficulty in finding an external aerial to fit the Orbit. O2 have no information at all, and when I've contacted the suppliers listed above, they have all said that they don't carry aerials that fit. One suggested that they suspect that the connector for the Orbit is now actually different from the original Artemis - although that seems rather unlikely. Have now tried MMCX, MCX,and lastly SSMB - none of which fit. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  Accessories] Philip:

Yes, I know, but when I rang them today, they were the ones who said that it wasn't the MMCX, that the O2 may be now different from the Artemis, and they had been asked quite a few times for a suitable aerial, but they definitely didn't have anything that fitted, nor did they know what it was.. The plot thickens.. The connector looks exactly the same as in the phone socket beside it, but a few phone companies I've shown it to don't know either.

I just picked up a BT-359W Bluetooth GPS Receiver for 85- Euro new.

The only difference between the BT-359W & BT-359S is the design on the top.

I made sure the battery was 100% charged before I turned it on (old habits die hard) and after spending 5-10 minutes trying to configure the Bluetooth on the HTC P3300 - I am a newbie when it comes to this new technology - it was able to get 3 satellites while I was in the house right away.

The thing is very small also - 82 mm x 41 mm x 13.4 mm (Inches: 3.22" x 1.61" x 0.52").

I would have to say that this is a great alternative to a wired antenna.

Here is a review I read before making my final decision: GlobalSat BT-359 Bluetooth GPS receiver review
[P3300, MDA Compact III  Accessories] Hiznibz54:
I tried my BT Holux GPSlim 236, which I'd previously used with my XDA Exec, with the Orbit. It paired up automatically in about 20 secs, and the reception, and TTFF is MUCH better. Without 236, in my office, I was struggling to get more than 4 satellites, and a fix was at least 5 mins. Admittedly this was deliberately in a poor reception area. Swapping to the 236, by the time it had registered with the Orbit - as I said, only about 20 seconds - when I checked satellite status, it had already found 11, and had a 3D fix!! I had hoped for the simple life, with just the Orbit in an active car cradle, but I think if I can't get a simple plug-in aerial, it'll have to be back to the BT 236, and its charger.
