[Motorola Droid RAZR] siscosmooth:
Hello everybody, I hope this is the right place for my post.

I hope you guys can help me because i´ve been having a lot of trouble figuring this one out.

I'm trying to unlock my device, I allready have the unlocking code, but when I insert a diferent sim it doesnt ask me for it.

I read that if you install the brasil stock rom it might work , but i can't do that either because every time i try to Flash said rom using RSD lite it sends me a fail message that sais (PHONE CONNECTED) I tried everything. fully charged my phone, different computers, reinstall drivers, different cables and nothing works, I think it has to do something with my current android version which is 4.1.2 ... any advise will be of help ,.

i appreciate your time

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kizitombano:
Hello..just recently, i got an android that was bbm pre loaded..it a new type of android.its called the b.elite2..and everytime i tried to update bbm, it told me unable to install please uninstall a previous copy of the app and try again and since it was a system app i rotted my phone and used a software to remove it but i made a backup when i removed it and tried to install from the app store, it says incompatible update and i felt it had something to do with the system config so i edited BUILD.PROP file and made a backup BUILD.PROP.BAK but when i rebooted my phone, it got stock on the boot logo..the problem i have right now is that i cannot write to the system..i was able To copy the BUILD.PROP.BAK from the system and rename it to BUILD.PROP but whenever i try to to do an adb push, i get

FAILED TO COPY. READ ONLY FILE SYSTEM

did some research and was told to mount as read write but whenever i tried that, i got

OPERATION NOT PERMITTED

i just cannot write to the system..i also tried using commands to rename the build.prop file to the former name and still no luck.

and i'm doing all this from something called factory mode never seen that before..when i try to boot into recovery to just restarts and goes back and gets stuck on the boot logo..fast boot is the same story..

PLEASE THIS IS A NEW PHONE..CAN ANYONE HELP ME???WHAT CAN I DO??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirhc:
You have to be careful when editing the Build.prop. The only option I can think of is find a stock ROM for your phone. Or try and Fastboot/ADB flash a custom recovery so that you can flash a ROM if any are available for your device. Google is your friend search for some custom recoverys and ROMs for your phone. It might be a little hard since your particular device is considered Chinese branded or foreign branded. So it really doesn't get alot of attention from devs. Next time whenever you are making changes to your phone besure you have a backup via custom recovery .
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kizitombano:
saw this post late

i flashed a wrong rom to my mt6582 device and now it s completely dead.

and i looked virtually everywhere for a rom for my phone but could.nt find any but i remembered that when i was rooting my phone, it was identified as htc so i was wondering that just maybe the device was just given a different name you know..

so i want to ask if its possible to know what device it is and if its possible to put the rom for another device on aother one..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirhc:
I just searched it. Its a Media Tek Device. Not a HTC. The manufacturer might have some HTC code in the build.prop but its not actually and HTC device. Google Search "Media Tek MT6582 ROMS"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kizitombano:
well i've found the rom i actually had someone of the same phone send me an mtk back up and i flashed it to my device using sp flash and also made sure that i unchecked the preloader, cache and user data...after i flashed it and started the phone it got stuck on the boot logo i left it like that overnight and there was still no change..i booted into the recovery and i got this dead android logo with a red triangle.i did some research and i discovered that i could make a cwm with mtk droid it cant be created unless the device is connected and has root access but i cant do any of that since my device is stuck on the logo...need help!!!
[Asus Padfone X and S] mark manning:
The following are rules for Original Development:

Official releases of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them

Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.

A significant “first” in development for a device. Significant is subjective, but it is likely something which took considerable time/effort, and is generally accepted by developers to be significant and non-trivial.

Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available. Some element of original work is expected.

Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.

Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to users of the target device. The port should be beneficial (a port from two virtually identical devices isn’t original development, it’s winzipping, and nobody really benefits from this, as it’s not development)

The following are most likely not “Original Development”, and should be posted in the “Android Development” subforum:

Your own “unofficial” stock build of your favourite original, source-built (or otherwise) ROM, particularly where an official or maintainer-endorsed thread exists already.

Minor derivatives of other ROMs with little or no changes, or ROMs consisting of “placebo” features as a main constituent or claim.

Renames or rebadges of others’ work – these don’t belong on XDA at all! Refer to rule 12 for more information.

Reposts of existing ROMs with small changes (i.e. kitchen work, such as adding a couple of apps). If you could realistically distribute your changes as an “addon pack” above and beyond a ROM, you should do so. In addition, your “ROM” would not be original development as it would be substantially identical to the original ROM.

A thread created with unrealistic goals that are clearly unachievable by those starting the thread. This is not intended to discourage high aspirations, rather to prevent threads porting Windows Phone 8 to the HTC Wallaby. This is pretty much common sense.

A ROM where a main or significant claim/feature is graphical changes to the user interface (ie. Themed ROM)

[T-Mobile LG G3] johnny quest:
I just got the LG G3 and love it. The phone is awesome, but theres just not enough reason for me to root at the moment. I know its new but I'll wait for more roms and other features to come out. I would like more themes. I really don't want to DL a launcher. I used Themer but apparently it gives me some kind of not compatible because of the resolution, something like.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ILLHYHL:
I thought the same thing, but ended up rooting my G3 anyway.

Small tweaks using G3 tweakbox were worth it, such as removing carrier IQ on lockscreen, adding dedicated menu buttons on the nav bar,

showing ram availability in recent apps menu, etc. :p
[T-Mobile LG G3] decaturbob:
to each their own but I have never owned a phone and not take root. Just being able to freeze/uninstall unwanted apps, freezing updates and doing minor tweaks is enough reason besides loading custom recoveries and roms.
[T-Mobile LG G3] sweets55:
Takes time so I don't understand why even make the thread?
[T-Mobile LG G3] mingkee:
I root it solely for fixing memory card problem.
[T-Mobile LG G3] cvsolidx17:
This. I will say that I was happy without root until the microlag got to me. The force close of my google services was the last straw. I now have no lag on my device and have made it much better imo with the tweaks mentioned earlier in this thread. I really wish we had an AOSP rom for it though.
[T-Mobile LG G3] bodom_hc:
SD card issue, g3 tweakbox, viper4android, xposed.

That hsould be enough for you to root
[T-Mobile LG G3] decaturbob:
G3 tweakbox is awesome app, I did the paid version.... (also needs xposed framework to run), I guess i need to research whats goin on with SD card...I assume to be the ext-sd card. Not sure about viper4andriod....I D/L'd and asked about updating drivers and choices were not very intuitive. I'm happy to a have TWRP and TiBu up and running as well.

having a choice of root or not....really is a no-brainer if you want to do any thing to your smart phone, otherwise why have it?
[T-Mobile LG G3] johnny quest:
There's a thread for everything, so I figure I make one to see if there are others on the same boat. Yes, I would love to root my phone but I'm going to wait for a bit. I would love to see more developers working on more roms to get that "wow" effect. I've always root as soon as I get a phone but I usually get a phone thats been out for a while and to see tons of roms. This is my first phone that I ever had thats only been released in only a week. So I'm excited to see what comes out from these developers.
[T-Mobile LG G3] shook187:
I personally like to root right away for the simple fact if I screw up I'm still within the 14 day return policy

How did you fix the google service force close?
[T-Mobile LG G3] sleekgreek:
Um that's fantastic news bro.
[T-Mobile LG G3] OhioDroid80:
This seems like a thread better suited for AC. Isn't the community of XDA about rooting and customizing?
[T-Mobile LG G3] johnny quest:
Don't know what AC stands for. Thats why I put this thread in the General section.
[T-Mobile LG G3] srimay:
I also feel like there is no real need to root. For me, anyway. I rooted my s4 asap but for this one I finally feel like I don't have to root to enjoy it. Frankly I'm just not as interested in flashing **** like I used to.
[T-Mobile LG G3] shook187:
I never understood threads like this every time a new phone cames out.. Okay so then don't root, next topic please
[T-Mobile LG G3] Pheno.menon:
Rooting and freezing a lot of apps made my phone noticeably faster and last longer on a charge. So it's definitely worth it.

I didn't think there was enough to root either. Until I installed xposed and got ad block for YouTube and g3 tweaksbox.

G3
[T-Mobile LG G3] kingsway8605:
Well it depends on what you mean by safe. For instance you could remove the lg launcher if you use nova or Google . Or remove some always running things that do consume ram with priority over the apps you are actually using, but at the same time now a particular settings screen will force code.

In general, I always backup the ROM before I tweak and also only freeze the app (or backup in titanium before actually removing it), then i proceed to remove anything with T-Mobile or LG branding, unless its the dialer or something like that.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Retarded Timing:
I'd root if I didn't like DirecTV GenieGO so much. Unfortunately it won't install on a rooted device.

[T-Mobile LG G3] decaturbob:
have you looked in the dev forum here at all?
[T-Mobile LG G3] jjdevega:
I too don't feel the need atm to root. This device runs well most especially after turning off thermal throttling and switching to Art. Although if I was to root I would definitely take advantage of a few things like being able to use all apps for multi window, kernels and tweaks.

Question... For this device can I revert back to unrooted state with the counter reset to 0. For if I need to send it back to T-Mobile? I only ask this because I'm coming from GS3 and you know how Samsung is with their Knox:/ I'm hoping it's not the same.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reechings:
I find with almost all fonts (even included ones from Samsung) that there is clipping of the font where it says "dialing" etc. when I am making or receiving a call. I am currently using a segoewp flipfont that looks great everywhere else and works fine on the incallui of my S3 that is also using KitKat. I'm guessing it's a long shot but has anyone figured out a way around this or am I stuck trying to find another font that works? I really don't want to change from the segoewp font. I have tried a different version of segoewp and have tried different font sizes and tried adjusting DPI and font scale for incallui using xposed app settings mod but no dice.

Tapped It!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
That is a pretty minor flaw that would not concern most people very much. My point being, even if Google or Samsung are aware of it, it would be a very low priority for them to fix.

Choices? You could search and see if a Themer has noticed and corrected it already. Submit a bug report and wait for Google to eventually update it. Find a different font that doesn't clip or ignore the clipping. Or find a tutorial on theming and fix it yourself. Or buy me a kilo of decent coffee and I'll correct it for you.

You'd need to decompile the package and edit the cell spacing or padding. Probably in the xxhdpi drawable dimens.xml file.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reechings:
Yeah it's probably something I will have to live with for now. My OCD can drive me nuts sometimes. Kills me that the exact same font works perfectly fine on my work S3. Bad enough that it spells dialing with two "L" s. First world problems I guess.

Tapped It!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reechings:
I ended up using a ttf editor called font forge to reduce the size of the font contained in the ttf file then used ifont from the play store to create a font apk from that ttf so now I have a segoewp font that looks how I want and is a bit smaller so it doesn't get clipped anymore. Nothing like a solution born out of pure nitpickiness.

Did you decompile the app? If not, that is why you didn't find the file.

Yes I am opening the incallui.apk with ES Explorer and opened the XML file in question with Axel editor and see a lot of references to padding and such. I was hoping you might be able to take a look at the XML file that I quoted to you and shed some insight about whether you thought that might be the right spot to edit.

Thank you SO much for your attitude though, very helpful.

It doesn't sound like you are decompiling the system app.

see the xml in question with a file browser like ES explorer.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reechings:
I am exploring inside the incallui.apk with ES explorer which let's me see all the files. I went through the folders and did not see an xml file name like the one you mentioned. I did find the one I mentioned in the res/layout folder which I thought looked promising. If I can find the right XML file to edit I can use zarchiver to insert the edited file into the APK and can also use zipsigner to sign the APK if needed (at least that's my plan).

Hi,

I was looking for a KitKat based ROM for my T-mobile S3 non LTE. I found one that looked like it would work, (Hellfire), but when I tried to install it, it told me I have a Sprint phone not T-mobile. Are there any KitKat for my phone or am I stuck with jellybean?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Look on the sticker under the battery. It should tell you what model it is, just to remove any doubt.

If it is a T999, you may have the wrong recovery installed. (Where exactly does it tell you that its a Sprint device btw?)

Provided it is the T999, you can get the recovery from the link in my sig.

Instead, I have found that month designators need to be in all caps to be recognized. ( "M" to "MMMM" )
