These are such great lists!

I use my Hermes for business and it is so important for it to look good. I have installed every theme, skin and cutomization I can find. I like my Hermes so much that I have even made it look like an iPhone cause I think that is so cool.

I also think you can't have enough Today Screens or icons, cause it is so tedious to go Start > Programs or Start > Settings. I even have shortcuts to shortcuts just so I can use more cool icons.

Knowing what the weather is going to do 4 days in advance also allows me to get my wardrobe prepared so I am dressed appropriately. A Weather bar is indispensable for me.

I don't care that my Hermes is always needing resets and that it freezes whenever i want important client info, or when I taking orders, or replying to clients requests, etc: it looks so cool though.

Yeungman........How did you change your screen lock icon and move it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] yeungman:
I actually don't use the built-in screenlock. I use a separate program: pocketMax screenGuard. I like this program because it integrates with my phoneAlarm nicely (i'm using the beta version that works with WM5). Also, if a call is coming in, the program unlocks the green "answer" button so that I don't have to manually unlock the device, answer the call, then relock everything. This feature needs phoneAlarm I believe.

I use Wisbar Desktop to link a custom icon to the program.

Hey all.

I have i9500 S4. Any suggestion for most stable aosp rom which can be used as daily driver ?

I'm really confused.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
The official suggestion of XDA Developers will be to try a bunch of them out and see what is the most stable for your usage.

"Best" ROM threads, in any kind, are not permitted on XDA. All of the information you need to research the stability of a ROM is readily available in the ROM development threads.

Just about any ROM that is more than a week old will be very stable for everyday use.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lemonspeakers:
I've been playing with mixer paths and have set some values from 84 to 93 to 98 (not 100).

So far, my bottom speakers would be clear and very loud during a speaker call, but if I later tried to play music, it gets super distorted at max volume and I have to turn it down to about 50%.

What are you numbers that you guys have set for the perfect balance of volume and distortion?

Post those screen shots!

SGS 5 users, what's your take on this? To me the biggest factor is BATTERY LIFE.

Now here's the deal : sgs 5 => 2800 Mah with a smaller screen

lg g3 on the other hand 3000 mah with higher pixel count due to larger screen (if they had stayed at 1080p that thing would be beast, such idiots)

Does anyone of you actually really prefer teh sgs5 over the lg g3? I'm going to assume this is a dumb question but i heard of many people regretting not waiting for the g3.

Blah, some input would be great here.
[General Questions and Answers] TechMinerUK:
Go with the G3 (Unless you must have slightly longer battery life), the G3 is a significantly better device packing the same CPU with more RAM and a larger screen

Hey,

I have a problem with my N5 (310K - problems of the first stocks :( ), in some places the GPS signal is lost or become very poor. I've already tried this guidewith no success, it probably solves the problem to people with no GPS lock at all - I unlike them

have

lock usually.

(by the way during the try to fix using this guide my NFC ceased to work)

What I need is an advice what can I do to fix my GPS?

I've been thinking about buying new battery cover - will this help?

*note that I'm running on stock [rooted] + xposed [gravity box and few more modules].
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @SidDev:
battery cover won't solve any issues

my advice is switch to clean stock ROM and then root if you want.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WishMonster:
ok now I'm running on stock (on ART mode - might it be the cause?)

the good news: NFC is properly working again

bad news: I still experience GPS issues.

any ideas? I have been thinking on give the antenna some "strengthen" but its the last solution.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @SidDev:
ART doesn't causes problem

but as you had mentioned above You have xposed module

it doesn't support it.

BTW does your location have good GPS signals??

And keep in mind GPS is not always 100% lock

75% ratio is normal.

Press thanks if I helped you.

Hi All,

I used to have TWRP installed however I wanted to be able to install the latest update.

I am S-OFF and Unlocked.

Settings>About>Software Info> Software Number>

Mine is 1.54.61.5

CID is: ORANG001

How do I get back to a stock Recovery. I have tried using the now Closed Stock Recovery thread. However two options which both started 1.54.## but now when I try to enter recovery I get the red triangle. I read about Philz stock recovery should I go for this instead?

Any help would really be appreciated.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KinetiClutch:
Oh. I know the bootloader has its menu that's how I get into the recovery. So stock recovery just shows the red triangle?

Yes, the stock recovery shows red triangle.

If you want the menu, press vol-up, power (I think), its hidden, because you're not really supposed to play with it.

You may need to install some default apps that are removed when you unlock the boot loader.

Same Problem

I nearly had the same problem and I was really frustrated about that. But than I tried it on my brothers Laptop, he got Windows 7 and I Windows 8, maybe it was something with the operating system.

What have you tested? On what operating system?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
i couldnt find this covered in the wiki, or maybe i misread or overlooked.. After you unlock and unhide the ext rom on 1.04 can you write to it and not corrupt it? coming from the wizard this was a very very bad thing to do, but seems like from what i have read that i can actually write to this one, just need confirmation?

and yes i already know how edit the txt file, etc...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] harryk1372:
not a stupid question shogunmark. neither have i read about that in the wiki but there are threads talking about that.

i myself have unlocked and mounted the ext rom using fit4cat and have removed all files in it after backing them up to the storage card. i now have number of apps installed on it, enjoying the additional 10M space, and it's working fine without any issues. i've been using it like that almost for a month now but nothing is corrupted.:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] harryk1372:
in addition, i was doing the same with my universal dopod 900 and have installed number of apps and skin/icon files to the ext rom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
ok cool, on the wizard that would corrupt your ext rom... mainly cause you couldnt unlock it but could write to it... aside from installing apps, what about adding cabs to install with the initial 3second customization..

like for example..

lets say i unlock/unhide the ext rom

i add cab file 123.cab

then edit the txt file with CAB: \Extended_ROM\123.cab

then lock the ext rom back up.. now when i hard reset would it install the cab file???

if that works on the hermes then i am in love.. it was a pain on the wizard, had to create a new image then flash it to the phone, etc.. PAIN IN THE A$$
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] harryk1372:
unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work. what i heard is that the cab file to run with autorun and config.txt needs the htc signature. if you can get it from htc you may... still pain in the b$$:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
well what you may actually need is a cab to disable the security to allow non-certified apps to install.. i know on the other ext roms thats a must or else the other cabs wont install.. was usually the first thing i installed on my cooked wizard roms.. i dunno, i havent dove into this yet, and dont know if i will get time tonight :mad:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] harryk1372:
then, how would you get around with running that security patch cab with no signature to start with? or do you already have that sorted out somehow?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
the one we had for the wizard was a signed disable security cab....maybe i will try it now.. who needs sleep, lol
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
i can confirm that the signed cab we used on the wizard to disable security does install and work on the hermes...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] harryk1372:
wow, that sounds great... post the results when you're done... but sleep tight before that.;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
sure thing, i just copied everything over.. will hard reset on my way to bed and post my results when i wake up...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
so here is what i have determined.. my test so far has failed... however i can say that unlocking the ext rom, making changes on the config.txt, then locking it and doing hard reset does work (which makes me very excited!) however for some reason the signed remove security cab doesnt seem to want to install without user input.. hmmmm there has to be a way..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
shogunmark: I looked into this some time ago and couldn't find a solution. Hermes only allows to install signed cabs, and the signed cabs used on wizard and universal to disable security do not work on the hermes. If you look at it more deeply and find a solution let me know :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
thanks for the insight... lets start with this question.. what is different in signed security cabs between the wizard and the hermes.. what makes them different that they wouldnt run... they should in theory be ok when signed, something has to make them different
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
it should be either one of this (or both):

1. the certificate used to sign the wizard / universal disable-security cab is not installed on hermes

2. the method used to dissable security on hermes is different from wizard / universal devices

Should not be very difficult to figure out. I have no time now, but can probably have a look at it later this week.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] faria:
the wizard extended rom can be unlocked now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
#1 sounds more feasable than #2 and here is my reasoning behind it..

#2 when i installed the disable security cab from the wizard i was able to run cabs and programs that werent signed without notification, so the process sounds similiar, i just havent broken the cab yet and looked at it to compare processes and reg edits used when disabling, i will try to break it down tonight
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
d@mn you faria :D man that would have made things alot easier when i had the wizard... it was a pain to reflash the ext rom all the time to make sure it would work
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] faria:

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chase88:
OK guys, I'm begging for your help. I just traded my HTC One M7 in for a Galaxy S 5 and immediately rooted it. Well, I forgot to unlock the bootloader, so when I tried to flash TWRP using Flashify, I rebooted into the dread yellow ! triangle with the words "System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest AT&T."

After researching solutions, I downloaded the USB drivers and latest firmware as well as Odin v1.09. Well, I can't even get started fixing it because my computer doesn't recognize the phone, nor does Odin. I've tried re-downloading the drivers and Odin, but still nothing.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JOLiu:
Hi all,

My S3 is running Bonestock 3.4 (Android 4.1.2) and I've noticed that, if I am running on wifi (4G data is still on), I can receive MMS messages (e.g., group messages, pictures, videos are sometimes sketchy), but I cannot send any type of MMS message, whether it is a response to a group message or photos/videos. If I turn off wifi and re-send the message, it will go through fine.

FYI - I am using the stock Samsung messaging app, but I had the same issue w/ Hangouts.

It's my understanding that MMS requires mobile data. For what it's worth, when I am on wifi, my mobile data is still turned on. I was wondering if there is some sort of workaround for this, or if it will be necessary for me to disable wifi any time I want to send an MMS message.

As far as workarounds go (and as weird as this may sound), I would prefer not installing a 3rd party messaging app.

Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
The above thread is for locked bootloaders only and you really can't install kitkat on a locked bootloader.

After unlocking your bootloader, you should download any kitkat rom and flash the kernel inside it.

Here are the steps :

1. Open the zip file you download. (The zip that contains the rom).

2. Copy the boot.img to the root folder of your adb installed directory. Like if your adb is at C:\adb then it should look like C:\adb\boot.img.

3.Power off your phone, press and hold the volume up key and connect the usb. A blue led should glow on your phone.

4.Right click on the empty space in the adb folder while holding down shift key. Then select 'Open command prompt here'.

5. You must have adb drivers installed properly. Now in the command prompt window, type fastboot flash boot boot.img.

6.If everything done as told, you will have a new kernel with recovery.

7.Now power on the phone and press volume down repeatedly when led glows.

You will enter recovery. Now you can flash zips.
