[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] jleslie97:
I was just talking about stable color os in general. I didn't realise you needed unified storage to get it. But i have been using stable jelly bean and you could move apps to phone storage as a default action. And it it's urge sane for the new kitkat update that they just brought out via manual update so i dont know why you'd want an unstable jelly bean color os Rom? The kitkat update brings alot of improvements overall as well. Although the launcher no longer comes with an app drawer. This didn't bother me as i use nova Anyway :)
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] ganeshbiyer:
Same for me too. I am happy with the way it is now, so long as updates and improvement keep coming. I am happy with the current launcher too.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] madstunt:
The next COS beta will include the LVM method for unified storage

Not only the space is the issue, but that the play store is kinda buggy with this app partition way of things and it is frequently saying that you have insufficient storage available, even if you do have multiple times the space the app would need

Me too wanna use the unified on my find7, it would be a lot more easier to handle
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] psrunknown:
I did exactly the same thing. But everytime i restart my phone (due to BSOD mostly) all the shortcut on desktop would disappear. Not sure if im the only one.

A vigorous masturbation would make it come a lot quicker.

Seriously, you can't wait for OPPO to deliver - while everyone else is getting lollipop, we still have no OTA kitcat!
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Crossvxm:
Can someone please explain this "Unified storage" thing to me? I dont really understand whats the case with the storage, but I can tell it is a problem to many since there is a partition fix flying around the development threads. I just got this phone second hand about a week ago and I am still discovering the way it works.

It came on ColorOS 2.0.0i based on 4.4.2, and I'm not even sure if its official.

I have however noticed some bugs with the UI and some random and fluctuating battery drains when it feels like it, although rare and my activities haven't changed much in terms of use.

Performancewise, well it gets the job done and seems to really rock the benchmarks I throw at it, and I do see this in real time when playing Beach Buggy Racing at maximum graphics, as well as Modern Combat 5, which weren't all that smooth on my S5.

Anyways, my main concern is a thorough explanation on the current storage issue, and why its getting a "unified storage" fix included in the future.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] farenteria:
The Oppo Find 7 was released with a weird storage layout. You can only use 3 GB for apps, and the rest of the storage is used for user data (pictures, movies, and such). The original fix was to use a method that messed with the partitions to make the partitions work as intended. That method is dangerous.

Nowadays, the preferred way is LVM. This is the case with the latest beta. Not dangerous, and it can be done within the rom
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Crossvxm:
Thank you. I never noticed that since I haven't surpassed 3GB worth of app data. Well, that depends if the application package is what counts towards the 3GB and the seperate data (e.g. what is found in the obb folder) is still considered as our own user space memory as per traditional partition layout.

Why make the partition like that in the first place when we have an SD card slot?

Hopefully I don't reach the limit as I don't want to have to try the mod.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] farenteria:
I have no idea why Oppo did it in the first place, but the Find 7 isn't the first smartphone from the company to have that limit. I always thought that unified layout was the norm since Honeycomb, but I guess not
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Crossvxm:
Ive come across my share of weird phone storage issues, like the Samsung Epic 4G which by default comes BML and many roms used the modified old school MTD partition map. Then there was the LG Optimus G, which when flashing a custom non stock based rom tends to hide all of your storage contents in the data/media folder. I could keep on, but the list would not end.

Now I can't remember which of my previous phones had this same issue, and it was annoying and confusing in the beginning...
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Entropy512:
It's basically that Oppo was one of the last companies to move away from the "legacy" layout.

Google started using emulated storage with Honeycomb, but it wasn't until maybe a year after ICS that most phones moved to the "new" method. Xperia T (late 2012) was one of the last ones I remember like that.

I think that it's partly due to the fact that Windows XP is still dominant in China - Its MTP support is poor, and Chinese users apparently prefer UMS. I remember at one point (around the time the N1 was released) that someone from Oppo was asked why they used the "old" partition method and their response was "user preference". While that might make no sense to a Western user, it makes sense when your home market is China. Chinese tastes are very different from Western tastes. Of course with the Find7, Oppo kind of screwed up by using ext4 for the internal SD partition, rendering it useless for UMS + WinXP.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Crossvxm:
It makes sense. In terms of the Xiaomi Mi3W and this one including a theme store which themes beyond just the app icons, you can tell it is something designated for a non US area. Here in the US, it's mainly about high end and so on. Most of the Chinese do not complain if they're device is falling behind the rest when their phone has a Snapdragon 800 meanwhile every other phone getting the 801. As far as storage, I don't see why they would keep the outdated way as a preference when the phone includes a Micro SD card option and so on, and you get more versatility when the storage is combined as all current phones have.

About Lollipop, after so many complains, it seems to me urgent to wait !

Except for geeks who like to struggle with beta, it's better to wait Lollipop better version.

The only 5 feature I really miss is the recovered ability for apps to write to SD card.

[HTC Sensation] danilandroid:
Hello everyone,

when I tried to factory reset this phone, I noticed that there was a lot of stuff on my sd-card which I dont need enymore. So I formatted the card, put back the latest cm11 build, flashed it after wiping everything and it gave my an error. After a bootloop that followed, I decided that I should do a RUU. But the RUU.exe got stuck at about 43%. I also tried the commandscreen RUU, which got stuck at

"(bootloader) [RUU]WP,dzdata,0"

I tried many different RUU and all of them got stuck.

Now my phone is stuck at the RUU screen with the gray HTC logo and the black background.

Does anybody know what I should do now? I really need the phone so please help.

[Asus Transformer TF700] azreal8:
hi all

trying to flash manually. have read guides with no success.

have tried renaming the extracted file, saving to sd card, tried flashing the zip in twrp and still no luck.

question - does anyone know the commands to flash the BLOB file?

i found this article BUT want to know if i should be using the same commands.

http://www.androidauthority.com/eee-pad-transformer-prime-ics-9-4-2-13-us-firmware-56714/

Copy the “blob” file into the root of your tablet’s removable microSD card.

Open the Android Terminal Emulator app on your tablet.

In the Terminal Emulator screen, type “su” (without the quotation marks) and press Enter. This will allow root access to Terminal Emulator.

Type the command “dd if=/Removable/MicroSD/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4” (again, without the quotation marks) and press Enter. The command will take about 5 to 20 minutes to finish.

Reboot your device when the following is displayed in the app:

1068769+1 records in

1068769+1 records out

547210197 bytes transferred in 153.991 secs (3553520 bytes/sec)

As soon as the tablet is rebooted, the update process will automatically kick in.

thanks :)

What kind of tablet are u talking about in your post ?

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] azreal8:
hi josh..

its a tf700t.

also my micro SD slot is dead so obviously the command would be different as i'd be using my SD card slot on my dock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Is your bootloader unlocked, with the asus unlock tool ?

And the tablet does boot into android ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] azreal8:
yes it's unlocked and i'm running cromi-x 5.4 with hunds extreme tweaks kernel.

i want to flash to the stock firmware (.10) as i'll

1) be bringing it back to asus for a repair job - defective micro sd slot

2) want to flash roms which say i need .10 version bootloader.

i've looked at the manually flashing guides my tf doesnt detect nor does twrp flash it when i try to install.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Ok no worries let see if we can find a solution ..

What we will need

Stock blob from Asus website

That is about it, let me know if you have these things..

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] azreal8:
thx..i have fastboot on my tf and the stock asus blob from their site :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:

plug the tab into the PC open CMD window as admin and run these command

fastboot devices

What is the output of this command ?

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] azreal8:
sorry im back.

when i type "fastboot devices" i get:

[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Is the blob in that same folder with the fastbot.exe ?

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] azreal8:
yes but it's just named "blob" and was directly extracted from the asus file. i haven't extracted the meta folder from the asus file. do i need to?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
No you will not need that just the blob ...

So from CMD window opened as admin run this command...

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash system blob

Let it do its thing ....

Once it comes back to command prompt type

fastboot reboot

Let it boot into new rom with new bootloader and such ..

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] azreal8:
thx josh! i followed your instructions and the TF went thru an updating process before booting to the home screen.

i checked the settings and the build says:

"J0P40D.WW_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801" so i assume thats all correct now?

QN - do you know where i can get the stock kernel? as i'll be returning it for a repair under warranty i assume i need to restore this too?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
That is the stock everything on there after the blob flash ...

it should end in 14.10 .... :D

I tried to push twrp through adb, but it failed.

Hello, I'm new to the forum as a user but i read lots of information in here.

Thank you for all your help over the years =]

Unfortunately, now i met a problem i can't fix on my own.

My friend bought HTC One m8 in china and everything was in Chinese so he installed some app that made some of it in english.

he asked me to install gapps. After i had installed the wrong gapps most of the os didn't work.

Re-installing the right gapps didn't help so i decided to flash it with Mike1986's custom rom. it took the phone 10 minutes to boot, maybe even more since it got stuck in recovery for a while.

everything looked ok, worked fine and i decided to reboot it again to see if the rebooting time is ok.

it took it 5 minutes to reboot, and all the time it showed the chinese company's logo (first picture).

I thought it might be a recovery problem so i installed PhilZ Touch recovery. It didn't solve it.

After minor research i found that similar problem can occur due to wrong rom and firmware relations.

i tried to find what is my firmware now but couldn't.

so i ask for your help. what are the implication of not updating the firmware, and what can i do to update the firmware.

i tried returning to stock but i don't know how to find the right RUU.

I'm open to options, even leaving the current firmware and flashing a rom which works with it.

PS. additional information:

before flashing the new rom the phone did OTA and the file name is:

I couldn't install it for some reason. failed every time.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i4GS:
If i'm correct the issue is

a. Takes to long to boot 6min - 10min first boot.

and b.flash failure

okay, flash back to TWRP, you have a chinese version i believe that's the international variant.

You might have Android 4.4.2 installed and you flashed 4.4.3 ROM which requires the updated firmware.

The effect of that will be LONGER bootup times up to 10minutes, this isn't new.

Try this ROM, comes pre loaded with a GUI that you select what phone you have and on bootup you select the Carrier you own/have.

when the phone has NFC field (in A technology) then the service is triggered and the func onCreate() is executed and after the transaction is finished the func onDestroy() is invoked.

therefore when I do startService() and stopService() it has no effect.

can I control if the service be invoked or not ?
