are there such thing as a custom FTF file I could flash with a locked bootloader?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khemist92:
Hey xda! What I'm trying to do here is to set my home screen live wallpaper (which is muzei) to be displayed on my lock screen, however it seems impossible on xperia devices. Is there any workaround to do this without downloading another lockscreen app?

EDIT: After checking out some other threads, some of you said that there is way to do this by modding the lockscreen apk myself. Can anyone point me to a guide?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

If you are rooted you can use the xposed modules GemXperia und GravityBox to do that.

Life background/wallpaper as locker screen: Holo locker from Mobint does that...

Hey khemist92,

I tried every module plus combinations of tools and it didnt worked for me.

But the App Holo locker (lite/free) can "copy" the life wallpaper / Background to the Lock screen.

I am using a Galaxy pack as life background and managed with one click to use this as locker background.

All the best

Xperia Xposed does the job perfectly. Using the aosp lockscreen does the trick
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superblond:
Hi, can you plz explain how did you do that and what versions of the used modules you are using?

Thanks a lot & all the best

Hey! I'm going to assume that you are familiar with the Xposed framework here. This is the module I'm using

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2612179

Just simply get it from the Xposed installer or from the thread I linked. Install and enable the module and restart. After that go to the settings of the module (xperia Xposed app ) go the lockscreen settings and enable the aosp lockscreen and restart the phone. Now the background of your homescreen will be the same on the lockscreen. I hope that helps!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superblond:
Hola khemist92!

Thanks for the fast reply! I tried that already but its not working for me...maybe because of the Galaxy life background that i am using!?

Lucky you that you got this life thing going :)

Thx

Hmm I don't understand why it's not working for you. Whatever wallpaper I set just becomes my lockscreen background, including live wallpapers.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ulf3000:
just freeze or uninstall "sonylivewallpapers" app , and the sony screen will use the desktop wallpaper, IT ALSO GETS RID OF THE FREAKING PARTICLES! . screenshot appended for proof

[MX Player] BarfHappy:
Hi,

I am not well acquainted with the forum's best way to report that kind of thing, so please excuse me if i am not doing it properly.

HTC dispatched earlier this week an update in my region for the stock HTC One M8 (europe).

I do not know what it was before, but now it is under android 4.4.3 and Sense 6.0 (2.22.401.5, kernel 3.4.0-ge224610)

I am using MX Player Pro 1.7.31 (activated, of course), and i don't believe it has updated at the same time as the HTC one.

Before the update, H/W+ and H/W was working very fine with my collection of videos (of various container types and encodings), be it high bitrate full HD 24fps (for broadcast ballet) or low bit rate more "standard" resolutions. It had a "hold" (were a frame is kept too much, creating a choppiness) every now and then (less than one per couple of minutes) but it was very subtle and not intrusive.

After the update, H/W+ and H/W are unusable for ballet, the hold is very noticeable and much more frequent (up to every other second sometimes), in fact it sometimes looks like the framerate is globally reduced as well, independently of framerate and resolution, every video has the fluidity issue even the ones that were playing flawlessly on my old legend.

My playback conditions are in the same conditions always, i use airplane mode, and it has been observed on the course of several days, with various uptimes (same after a fresh long OFF-ON or a 1 day uptime).

The system load oscillates between 8 and 20% before starting mxplayer (with the monitor using a good share of it :) )

S/W is much smoother, without hiccups. :eek:

Log files show no error message during playback... it is just choppy. Just for info i attached a report (i didn't play long runs this time around).

So, fellow HTC users, if it is not limited to my very phone (i'd be surprised), it's time to move on to S/W decoding for the time being, works very well with the platform... I hope it won't tax too much the battery when i am in a train.
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
Hmm, I'm interested to hear what's wrong as well. [MENTION=3850543]bleu8888[/MENTION] please take a look!
[MX Player] bleu8888:
If both hw and hw+ decoder have same problem, it is highly alike a firmware problem.

[MX Player] bleu8888:
Hi,

Would you send me a sample video clip having this issue? My HTC One m7 is also recently upgraded to 4.4.3 but cannot reproduce this issue with full HD videos. This issue may happen only on m8.

[Ouya General] guides:
Hi,

I have successfully configured my third party controller to work with OUYA, but when I disconnect the stock OUYA controller, it always appear a message to pair a controller, and didn't disappear.

What can I do to solve this?

Thanks for all.
[Ouya General] ajb999:
Is it a USB or Bluetooth controller?
[Ouya General] guides:
Hi, it is a USB controller.
[Ouya General] ajb999:
Does your USB controller show up as a controller icon when it is connected? Top/left. Some USB controllers just don't play nice with the OUYA. Are you able to play 2 player games with it? Try downloading/installing keytest.apk and seeing what kind of inputs its the ouya is receiving from it.

Every controller is different depending on what type of encoder it uses. This changes what type of device your OUYA sees it as. Also what of default keys it sends to the OUYA.

Did you make a custom kl to configure your usb controller? If no how did you go about this?

Hope this helps. If not maybe with a little more info I can help you get it figured out.
[General Topics] spatchy:
Hey guys, First I am going to apologize if this is in the wrong place, It's been a while since I was on XDA But I thought this was the most appropriate place to post a topic like this.

Anyway, I am due for an upgrade and well lets just say the options that my carrier are providing me are not great and after some researching, I came to the conclusion that changing networks and getting a sim only contract and buying a phone separately would be the cheapest option. I have found the perfect tariff but even after weeks of research, I am still stumped on which phone to buy, so, I have turned to the XDA community to ask What is the best android smartphone that I can buy for around £350 (that's about $580) or under?

There are a few conditions that I want the phone to meet: it must be 4G LTE capable and have a decent camera and a good battery life.

that's it! Thanks in advance to all who post! =)

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veenab:
Hello,

Im thinking of buying this today, My basic usuage will be for reading books,

Would this screen size be a issue for reading or should i go for 10.1 ?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murmur70:
In my opinion. This is the perfect size for reading. That is one of my primary usages for the 8.4. Larger=heavier=lesser reading experience.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukael:
Depends on what you are willing to read. For e-books, I'd actually aim at a 7" tablet that you can easily hold in one hand, which is not the case of the Tab S 8.4.

In e-books the fonts are scaleable, and an app such as Moon+ reader allows you to scroll the text as you read for optimized reading ergonomy. In my opinion, handling comfort is more important than screen size.

I personally use a 2nd gen Nexus 7, which is not only easier to manipulate but also offers a smoother scrolling than Tab S 8.4, but I beleive Huawei X1 to be an even better option for this usage.

If you are more interested in comics, then a larger screen will be more comfortable. 7" is good enough with scrolling, 8.4" is more comfortable but 10.5" is better for this usage as it allows to decently display a full page in portrait mode.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGoD:
The 2nd gen Nexus 7 got the same weight as the Tab S 8.4 or to be more precise, it's 290 g against 294 g. Besides that, the Tab S actually feels a bit lighter to me because the weight is more balanced in that slightly bigger device. I bought the Tab S last week after using the Nexus for a year for its better screen as well as the sd slot and the lack of multitouch issues (which plague all N7 2nd gen IMO more or less). Anyway, I did prefer 7" before the purchase but now I thing the (light weight) 8.4 device is a better compromise all around. The handling comfort is really around the same or for me a bit better on the Tab S and it is just as mobile (fits easily in the back pocket of my baggy jeans).

Yeah, Comixology as well as CBZ/CBR files profit allot from the noticeable size increase (still talking about N7 2k13 against Tab S 8.4). Plus the deep blacks (as well as the vibrant and adjustable colors) help with the large black parts in most comic art and keep the battery usage down.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukael:
Interesting points you highlight here. The handling comfort seems to be a matter of personal preference. As far as I am concerned, I use the Nexus 7 without cover, and hold it in one hand when reading.

The Tab S is the same weight without cover, but I find it less comfortable to hold single handed. Worse, I find the samsung touchkeys to be a permanent annoyance when handling the tab without a cover, because its borders are so thin it's though to find a proper place to grip on it. I therefore use it exclusively with its top grade official cover, which is an awesome stand and improves handling but adds 50% weight and doesn't make it thinner for single handed use.

That and the fact the N7 offers a smoother experience on Moon+ Reader lead me to prefer it for ebooks reading. And I can't help thinking about how good the Huawei X1 with its 220g should be for this usage.

Now, I totally agree that the tab S's size is more versatile option. 8.4" is an excellent compromise that led me to completely give up on 10" tablets. But I'm not much of a comics reader, and don't care about the screen size for movies.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veenab:
Not comics but my basically study material ( programming languagues,etc)

I already ordered a Tab S 8.4 on ebay,

I haven't run rumrunner using Ubuntu live cd, but i have booted my computer to Ubuntu using live cd and gotten adb and fastboot working. It's worth a shot because it totally bypasses any windows firewall, anti-virus and driver issues you might have. And really all it costs you is a little bit of time and the cost of one blank DVD.

Here's how i got Ubuntu live cd to work:

Go here for Ubuntu download and instructions on booting to live cd

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD

These instructions (http://www.webupd8.org/2012/08/insta...oid-tools.html) work, but before you follow them you have to change a setting in Ubuntu.

Click on the setting icon in the upper right, then select system settings.

In the System section, select Software & Updates

Place a Check in the box next to Community-maintained free and open-source software (universe)

Then Close system settings

Then, open terminal (click the "search your computer and online sources" icon in the top left and type "terminal")

Then paste the three commands from the above link one at a time into terminal

>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8

>sudo apt-get update

>sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

You may be prompted to press Y to install.

Once the install is complete, fastboot and adb should work.

[HTC Wildfire S] Falk2:
Hallo,

I am working with the stable CM9 version and INT2EXT+ on my HTC Wildfire S which you really cannot use without any 'storage expanding' script.

Its storage space is so horrible low. So thank you for this solution very much.

The mentioned constellation is running fine and fast so far - just the opposite to ROM EQDKP (with Data2SD) I had before which was stable but EXTREMLY slow!! (only the akku state makes problems obviously at all CM versions as it does not seem to be correct (lack of refresh)! Unfortunately.)

There is still enough space on my SD card:

* Phone info -> partition info: 724 MB used from 1,08 GB (data folder)

* Apps -> All: 683 MB used, 421 MB free

* Storage -> internal storage: 782 MB Apps, 380 MB free.

Who knows why they are different but anyway they say about the same.

But now I have a GooglePlay download problem when I want to install apps bigger than 12 MB. (before (when I did not have so many apps installed) this never was a problem)

To say it clearly: it is NOT an installation problem but happens already during the app download. It just stops and says that there is not enough internal phone storage left. VERY strange!

I doubt that this has to do s.th. with a cache space, does it? But this would be the space used for downloads, right?

[partition info -> cache: 2,5 MB / 35 MB; pi -> system: 211 MB / 260 MB)

But why should it make problems then? Can this be a problem of the script / INT2EXT ??...

I would be glad to get hints from anybody what the real problem here could be.

Thank you very much!
[HTC Wildfire S] csoulr666:
That's because of the script(INT2EXT+), it keeps the data/data in the internal memory. This will give you more speed but if it is filled you won't be able to install or download anything from the Play Store. That's the reason why you are not able to use your EXT partition completely. If you want more space for apps, try INT2EXT4. But you will have to sacrifice some speed if you use it
[HTC Wildfire S] Falk2:
Hallo csoulr666,

thanks for your helpful feedback!

Aha, but I would have expected an error message only during installation but not during download already which uses just the cache, doesn't it???...

Maybe you refer to the sentence of the INT2EXT script author: "100mb internal is needed for every 500mb sd-ext"!?

Is it this what you mean?...

But I still have much more than 200 MB left (380MB)!!... That should not be the reason then!?...

(and again: he talks about the internal state memory but not about the cache which is reserved ANYWAY, isn't it?...

How can I find out how much data is left in the original internal memory???...

And why are there differences in memory above (284, 421, 380 MB)?...

*****************

But if it once should be for sure that the internal memory is the reason for that I would prefer to change the 1 GB sd-ext partition to 1,5 GB by 'Minitool Partition Wizard'. Should work,shoudln't it?...

Or do you think the difference in speed is not that much!?...
[HTC Wildfire S] Falk2:
However, Root Explorer tells me for data/data:

used 130,66 MB, free 19,34 MB. (unfortunately cannot see folder sizes!)

Hmmmh... so now I understand nothing anymore!!

Should I at the end add 200 MB + 130,66 MB ?...
[HTC Wildfire S] csoulr666:
What the author meant that you need a 100MB of "acutal" internal storage(not EXT partition) to be able to use about 500 MB of the EXT partition. That's actually an estimate value, so you won't be able to get the same figures in all the ROMs. Even before downloading, the Play Store checks for the storage available for all the parts of an application. Maybe that's why it returns errors
[HTC Wildfire S] Falk2:
Hallo csoulr666,

thank you for your additional explanation. In fact this would explain the phenomena.

I calculate then:

About 100 MB internal memory I need for 100 MB.

As WFS has about 120 MB internal mem. it is about 650 MB at all. Correct?

So this is the limitation ia have then which is too early.

And do you know if I can read out the left or too low memory anyhow.

Means, does any value gives me an information about the left actual internal memory value?

Possibly no?...

So then I am thinking about a change of the memory script.

Did you or anybody else can answer the following questions?:

1.) Do I have more memory left with scripts like Link2SD, INT2EXT or INT2EXT4 ??

2.) Is the speed reduction remarkable here? And if so when exactly?

3.) How can I change over to another script without reinstalling the whole ROM? (no overwriting possible, is it?)

Thank you very much again for your feedback!!
[HTC Wildfire S] csoulr666:
Actually the usable space depends on the internal memory

that is free

. So it will vary from different ROMs.

1) You would have more space with INT2EXT, INT2EXT4 but not with Link2SD(unless you buy the PRO version of the app allowing to move everything to the EXT partition)

2) Speed reduction can be significant if you load it up with a lot of Apps. And it might get a little annoying after 2-3 weeks or so

3)Overwriting will not be possible in most cases, since different scripts might mount different things on the 2nd Partition
