[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metpolds:
[MENTION=5973732]The Dark Defender[/MENTION] ..... I've done some work to your video. Firstly without wishing to "teach you how to suck eggs" I must make the following comment.....You say that the video is in HD (1080p), that statement is almost sudden death to boot animations because the number of frames that are produced by a 1080p process is huge compared with the number of comparable frames produced by "Standard Definition", I have produced several animations both for my phones and my tablet using clips I have captured from BD disks and the size of the animation jumps up alarmingly. So what I did with your video was as follows..... From the original files I deleted 224 frames from various parts of the video, trying to keep that figure to as many near duplicates as possible.....I then used PhotoScape ("Batch Edit") to resize the frames to 720 x 1280 .....I then built a boot animation using those frames ..... this built ok the only trouble being it was 95 Mg in size which is utterly outrageous!..... I then processed the frames through another graphics program (Pixillion Image Converter Plus) with which I was able to decrease the original definition and finished up with an animation which was 12 Mg in size which is acceptable.

JPG's from HD files are high quality, which can make for huge animations, and can stand having the definition reduced.

The two attached files are (1) The finished animation (the title tells you that one) and (2) The individual jpg frames altered as to size and definition and zipped (again the title is self explanatory).

I appreciate that the final effort might not be as you would wish but possibly you can work with the individual frames to achieve a result which you prefer. Feel free to use or adapt any part of my animation if it helps you.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Dark Defender:
Thank you

Wow thanks so much! I'm gonna check these out right away. I had no idea 1080p wasn't optimal for bootanimations. I was just confused on how to get the proper resoluton for the images. I'll learn a lot from this, and I appreciate the time you put out to do this. Thank you.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Dark Defender:
Another problem :(

[MENTION=4131092]metpolds[/MENTION] The bootanimation you made is perfect, but for some reason my phone slowly stutters than freezes on almost the last couple of frames. The only way to stop it is to launch fastboot mode and go into recovery and system restore to a backup I luckily did not too long ago. It did this with another bootanimation as well. Hmm definitely phone related. It really stinks because I know it isn't a problem with the animations. Do you have any ideas on what might be causing this or how to fix? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Oh, and also don't know if it'll help but right before it freezes the screen's brightness drastically dims, almost like when it unlocks.

EDIT: Fixed! Turns out my boot logos need to be mp4 format because im using stock ROM. I'll get the hang of things eventually lol.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metpolds:
[MENTION=5973732]The Dark Defender[/MENTION] ..... Glad that I was able to help ..... As regards boot animations in mp4 format, I have to say (but I'm no expert) that Motorola is the only phone or tablet that I have knowledge or know of that uses mp4 video files instead of jpg or png single frames. However even though Motorola uses mp4's you can still use conventional single frame jpg's if you wish.

As you probably know if you create an animation in mp4 then it has to be placed in the following folder in your Moto G ...../data/local/moodle ..... and the mp4 type of desc.txt (videodesc.txt) has totally different parameters to that used by single frame animations. Again be careful of the size.

The stuttering you are experiencing I can't be certain about, I believe it's a fault with the animation, I seem to recall seeing someone in one of the threads experiencing the same problem but I can't remember exactly where or when. To be on the safe side I would be wary of installing it. If you felt adventurous you could delete some of the last frames i.e. the blue ones after the writing "Welcome to Sword Art online" making it shorter. BUT don't rely on my suggestion in case you "brick" your device.

Best of luck with your Moto G and animations.
[HTC Rezound] ClockerXP:
Hello,

My Rezound is unlocked and S-OFF. It currently has a Sense ROM on it from a year or so ago on it.

Getting a new phone and my 7 year old will be getting this Rezound to play games on (it has the extended battery). What ROM would be best for his use?

Thanks!

CxP
[HTC Rezound] pball52998:
Try a kit Kat ROM such as everolv or liquid smooth, CM 11 if you want. If you want sense, try ecliptirez I think it is? It's a great sense 4 ROM. Just depends, do you want sense or AOSP?

Sent from my HTC One M8 running Insert Coin. S-OFF.
[HTC Rezound] ClockerXP:
Thanks for your feedback. I have no need for Sense so can do without it. For my son I'm looking for something decently stable and with very good battery life (for a Rezound , anyway). It'll have wifi off almost all the time and no cell service. Bluetooth will not be used. He will just use it to play games. Thanks for any suggestions on advance!
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Evervolv, CM11, or any vanilla ROM should be fine... I would avoid feature rich ROMs like LiquidSmooth, Carbon, Tachyon for this application (they are great for roms for use as a phone)
[HTC Rezound] ClockerXP:
Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] pball52998:
Agreed with [MENTION=2001582]acejavelin[/MENTION] they're great ROMs. Look into them. Mainly as ace said try everolv.

Sent from my HTC One M8 running Insert Coin. S-OFF.
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
Cm9 was probably the fastest I've seen this device, anything ics based will have smooth graphics and better battery life
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
Stick with Sense or as bunchies said, cm9. Personally I'm running ConROM v6, which is basically stock rooted.

If you need something more up-to-date, go with CyanogenMod 10.1.3 (not 10.1.3.1) since it's the fastest and most stable JB/KK ROM still. 10.1.3.1 has a crash in the Settings app and nothing really changed.
[Moto X Q&A] roeiboot:
first time since getting the Moto X i am disappointed (2nd time if you count the mediocre performance of camera in low(er) light situations), looks like i cannot unlock the boot loader (AT&T non dev)). main reason i wanted it is to manually sync easily.

when i just got the device i was able to manually sync even with items selected in Settings > Accounts > Google.. now i can not get that to work as it did before, any ideas how i can set it up like that again?

thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Bootloader unlocking doesn't have anything to do with syncing....at all. What are you wanting to sync? Make sure everything you want to sync is checked under the specific google account in Settings > Accounts > Google.

There is a possibility of unlocking the BL via the China Middleman (use search) but it will cost you money. No reason to spend money if all you want is to sync (something...?). Be more specific, and I can give better advice. I'm really not understanding...
[Moto X Q&A] roeiboot:
thanks!

i realize they are 2 separate things, what i meant is if i could root and add items to the quick settings screen it would be a easy way to sync.

sorry i wasn't clear. when i first got the Moto X i checked items in Settings > Accounts > Google, yet it was *NOT* an automatic sync, i had to go in and manually sync, which is what i wanted --then i think i enabled photo backup and suddenly i was unable to have items checked without it syncing automatically, so i redid my phone hoping i could have it as i liked it (mainly 'cuz i think -although a novice- syncing uses a bunch of battery, coming from iOS and being used to 7-8hrs usage)

hope i explained it better... so i want items checked in Settings > Accounts > Google, yet on the main screen of Google, under accounts the sync account was gray, and not green.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
OK, yeah AFAIK that's not normal. It sounds like maybe you have turned on google 2-step verification. Also (I know this sounds stupid) but if you haven't rebooted recently, give it a shot.

Additionally, there are some apps that may help you depending on what your goal is:

This app will allow you to automatically trigger SYNC upon certain events. Like you can auto-sync ONLY on WiFi, and turn it off immediately upon switching back to mobile network: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redwolf.autosync&hl=en

This app allows you to add a variety of widgets including a SYNC NOW widget: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.afterhoursdevelopers.android.synker&hl=en

This is the best advice I have for you. No reason the sync should be greyed out unless there is some kind of authentication error OR you have 2-step verification enabled.

Good Luck :good:
[Moto X Q&A] roeiboot:
i appreciate it.. no 2 step, rebooted several times last night and this morning. trying AutoSync2.. so far flaky at best. i keep searching and/or trying to make it work, guaranteed failure if you say it should not be grayed out in "normal" condition. had a HTC One X which was unrootable and i seem to attract devices who are excluded ;}

thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Not a single sync option is greyed out under settings > accounts > google on my moto x. All I can suggest now is backup and factory reset... Sorry.
[Moto X Q&A] roeiboot:
no worries... did a factory reset last night, partially for this reason. you helped a lot so no need for sorry. you use Twitter and / or Facebook, one can be turned off sync wise Twitter, other can not. struck me as odd. both not important enough for me to get notifications.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] CaptainSpazzz:
Hello, I've been having some issues with root explorer on the nexus 7. Everytime I try to copy and paste, cut and paste, move a file or anything of that sort root explorer force closes... Has any else had this issue? Haven't had a problem with root explorer on my N5.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
Try a different file manager, see if it happens to it as well, I suggest Solid Explorer (far, far, superior to root explorer anyhow). Otherwise, you may have issues with your root, I assume you cleared cache and all that crap.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] CaptainSpazzz:
Yeah I got a backup file manager and its only an issue with root explorer. When I first rooted it happened, and also happens on every ROM I've flashed. I'm running EHNDroix ROM right now which has built in superuser and I also have SuperSU installed. Maybe that's the issue?

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
Maybe, I'd disable superuser and stick to SuperSU. You should be able to disable it safely, but I'd still recommend you do a nandroid of /system first.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] CaptainSpazzz:
How would I disable superuser? Its built into the ROM

Edit: I changed superuser access to disabled.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Aerowinder:
Not an issue with Superuser or Root Explorer. I use that combination, and execute the specified operations often and

have never seen an FC. Has been tested with stock and SlimKat. Disagree with Solid Explorer being a better choice. Too buggy.

What files are you trying to move? If they are on SD card, root doesn't even come into play.

What roms have you tried? Are you using Xposed?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
Guess I've been lucky, I haven't had a single issue with SE.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] CaptainSpazzz:
I've tried stock rooted, Purity, TheSchism, CandyKat, exudos, and paranoid android. Always getting force closes when pasting files. I'm running Xposed at the moment but same problem even before I installed xposed

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Aerowinder:
Just tried a move operation, worked fine. Can you get a logcat?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] pemell:
Had the same issue and solved it. Looking in the logcat I could see that it got something to do with the notification in status bar.

So, disable notifications in app settings and you're fine.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] CaptainSpazzz:
Wow, showing notifications could cause that? But thank you so much. I've disable notifications and everything is working. Appreciate your help!

[General Questions and Answers] Symblex:
I've tried to root the ZTE Whirl also with the same results as you. It is my understanding that it cannot be permanently rooted unless the write protection is disabled. I read on other forums that this was done on the HTC One X and Motorola MOTOX with a recovery installed zip. I don't know if the file in the zip "wp_mod.ko" would work on the ZTE Whirl and without access to the RUU, I really don't know how an update zip could be made. I'm no developer but this is my understanding from my research.

Download Vroot.. turn on USB Debugging..and tick on usb debugging to active it on your phone setting/developer option

connect your phone to pc..and wait untill it detect..click root...and it will reboot..done..only one click root..i use this already 2 year..work find..if this help..press thank button :laugh::good::laugh:
[General Questions and Answers] Symblex:
Vroot cannot root this device at all. Framaroot can root device. The problem is that the system is write protected. In other words, it is temporary until you reboot etc. I have found that if I already have Supersu.apk installed when I root that I will have super user permissions etc., however, when I open Supersu and attempt to update binaries, it fails and root is immediately lost. I have also rooted and used Total commander to remount r/w and could paste files to system directories etc. but SuperSU still failed to update and lost root. When I attempt to install SuperSU or any zip via stock recovery, it verifies etc but in the end aborts installation. I am beginning to thing that its not just write protected but active defense against any changes to system from stock. BTW, you don't have to drain the battery to root: When I loose root (after restart etc.) I uninstall Framaroot apk, shut down device (not restart), start device, install Framaroot and am able to root with Gandalf option.

Bottom line: This write protection or whatever it is needs to be removed or disabled for root to be permanent.

welcome to the dark world of root enabled devices :cool: :cowboy: ...heh lol just kidding

I prefer to always change the su app to chainfire's SuperSU

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu

And the most common file explorer is probably Root Explorer

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer

With Root Explorer navigate to the folder you need to change permissions on files and long click on file and tap permissions

Apps are stored at these directions

Here /system/app/

And here /data/app/

Looks bad ... can't find any rooting guide for your device.

You can post your question here: General discussion > Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking.

Here is a general quide to rooting: (INTRODUCTION TO ROOTING) New to rooting/flashing ANY Android? See this guide!

There is a list of common rooting methods ... maybe one of them also works for your device.

EDIT:

And I found this generic rooting article on xda: How to Root Any Device ... with links to the device specific forums and to the most common rooting threads.

I moved this to Q&A since it's not really something for a ROM thread. As a suggestion for your issue, have you looked into Volume Locker? Also, you could maybe find an xposed module that might do what you are after.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aligatorex:
Ok so I got my HTC One M8 2 weeks ago and I had no problems with it except for this. I can't use any of the in-app shops like let's say in Plants vs Zombies 2 or Tiny Death Star. I tried everything I could think of. I tried searching on the web but i couldn't find one this about it.

I have screenshots of what i get when I try but i can't post the links yet, it says that I'm not connected to the internet (I am) or that there are issues connecting to the play store (play store works fine).

What should I do?

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] iamcombat:
I currently have a Huawei U8680 which has almost no ROM support. It overheated months ago and now the battery only holds a charge for maybe 3 hours tops. So I got a hold of T-Mobile and the Galaxy Exhibit is what they said I should be getting in place of my phone.

My current set has a 4" screen and a 1.4Ghz Snapdragon processor, while the Exhibit has a 3.8" screen and a 1Ghz NovaThor processor.

The only upgrade I would get that I can tell is a better resolution front facing camera.

Should I go ahead and take the Exhibit as my replacement or try to fight them for something with a screen the same as mine and a processor the same speed?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jin03002:
Your choice

Honestly, the Exhibit will be slower than your U8680 because it's only a single-core and it only has 512MB Ram.

However, it does have great dev support so you can install custom ROM's such as Kitkat on the Exhibit.

The U8680 only has Gingerbread stock ROM I think so the Kitkat is a nice upgrade. (If you are fine with rooting and installing ROM's)

I'll probably ask for a better phone though.

I just bought a BA and want to upgrade it to use either the AKU2.6 or AKU3.2. I got to setp 3 below:

3. Modify the operator in the ROM as needed:

Determine your operator Information e.g.: "T-MOB101", or "Vodafone", or O2. See GetDeviceData.

(I did this the operator is "XGULA001")

*

Open a command prompt, go to the folder where the ROM file resides (nk.nbf) and execute: SetOperator ???

(where ??? is your operator)

(I used the Microsoft command promp and went to where the nk.nbf file is located. After the C:\> I typed "\cd\Documents and Settings\John\My Documents\WM2k5_AKU2.6_32mb_v1.1.2\" as this is where the nk.nbf file is. Then I typed the command SetOperator XGULA001.

I get the following error:

"Set Operator is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] rambo6:
I figured it out. There's a few mistakes in the instructions. The nf.nkb file has to be moved to the file where the appropriate rom is found before running the setoperator command prompt.

Also, one must fully reboot after the hard reset and connect to the PC via Active Sync before running the rom upgrader.

Whoever made these WM5 ROMS for the BA should receive a reward. They're awesome.
