Hi all.

I've been using the Samsung Music app on the Note 3 with 4.3 (mi7 original rom right?). I'm rooted with custom recovery (knox counter 0x1 now :( but it's not bugging me that much). I don't have anything else custom and thinking ti's about time to get a good rom. Before I do that I want to get my favorites play list songs from the Samsung Music app. Anyone know where the file is, the folder it's at? I'm tired of the app too since it's crashing more often but there's dozens of songs I've favorited and would hate to lose that list.. and writing down every song name manually seems tedious ...

side note 1. Have had dozens of albums I own and only like a few songs I like here and there, and the Note 3's massive space was one of the first devices I can store almost all my albums in hence the favoriting. After a years worth of time of listening to the albums I have 83 songs in the favorites playlist.

side note 2. anyone have a suggestion on a good stable rom? basically still like the s pen features minus too much of the bloat. I don't suppose aosp roms would work right?

thank you for reading my tldr question :D

Try HyperDrive than, as alot of the bloat is removed and you can choose in the Aroma installer what bloat you do want:p

Thank you to XBrav for posting this solution!

Since I cannot post or reply in Dev forums, I found this root method that has been confirmed multiple times to work with the NF2 build. It also worked for me; however, I had to flash SuperSU using TWRP rather than installing from Google Play as it would not work properly.

Confirmed working on my Rogers Samsung Galaxy S3, Stock 4.4.2, NF2 build.

Here is the link to the post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54354429&postcount=142

Notes:

a) if SuperSU just doesn't seem to be working properly, uninstall the Google Play version of SuperSU, download the ZIP and flash using TWRP: http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip

b) if SuperSU seems to be taking too long to disable KNOX, reboot the phone and try again

Happy Rooting!

does anyone know how to change the boot animation on the s5? Ive been looking for ages but it doesnt seem to change
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
You said that you've been looking for ages? What does that mean? That seems to imply that you've done a lot of searching - which would make it surprising that you hadn't found the numerous existing threads on boot animations. Let us know what keywords you tried and perhaps we can help you make better searches.

And doesn't seem to change? You've tried changing your boot animation? You neglected to tell us what you tried? If you describe step by step what you tried, it would be a lot easier to spot where you went awry or what you might have missed.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatburger3:
I've come from a lot of Samsung devices, and I decided to jump that boat as soon as I was no longer able to install CM on the Note III.

I have a Samba/FTP server, and I like to stream videos from Samba to my phone, like all the time, like 90% of the videos are h.264 mkv. I used DicePlayer on my Note III to stream, and it was pretty awesome. When I tried this on my OPO, it wouldn't work, presumably because the OPO doesn't have the proper codecs, so I went to the settings in Diceplayer and changed the setting for mkv to play under "software player" instead of default; This worked, but I only got like 2 FPS, literally. So I rolled my eyes and went and got VLC. VLC can't open network folders, so I had to use some other obnoxious app to open the files. This works, but its so crappy compared to Diceplayer, it skips/stops every minute or so.

I am wondering if anyone knows any way that I can get it all working with Diceplayer, or if there is a better app that I can use that works just as well. I don't know much about this kind of stuff, but it seems to me that the OPO doesn't have the proper codecs, and Diceplayer doesn't work well enough with the phone that it can make up for lack of said codecs.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokocabana:
Try using MX player. It runs everything and can use hardware and software codecs. It can also stream from a network though I have never used that feature.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatburger3:
I think I tried that one on my Note, it works, but its buggy, and to stream you have to open it via url which is annoying. But I will try it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vikos:
Hi, how it works?

I have problem with playing 720p .mkv movies (for example The.Flash.2014.S01E06.720p.HDTV.X265.mkv ).

It plays video slower than audio ( there is one second of audio freeze every five seconds). I have tried to install additional codecs, but it didn't help. It plays on SW decoder, HW/HW+ shows only error and switch to SW.

Also try to install VLC player, but it didn't work too.

480p mkv files are played ok, even via WiFi.

OPO and MX player are actual, phone isn't rooted.

Thanks for any advice

[Sony Xperia M] mat.knott:
Hi all

Hopefully someone will be able to help me here as have spent all day going round in circles and finally decided I need to stop stabbing in the dark and ask for help from people who know what there doing.

My son has a Sony Xperia M (C1905). He's always running out of space with all the games he likes to play on it so I thought I would move them to a removable 8GB SD card for him. After downloading and installing a app that should have allowed me to move them I was still unable to so I did a Google and found out that its not possible with this phone with out rooting it.

At this point I started looking into how to do it and found out I needed to unlock my boot loader. I used this site (developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader) to get the code required and used the code in "Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde V0.9.18.1" to unlock it with out any problems. When I restarted the phone it would get stuck on the operator logo (Three UK) no matter how many times i restarted it or pulled the battery out.

Since then I have tried various different ROMS for the Xperia M, both installed via the CWM (zip file) and via the flash program (ftf file), also I have tried a few different versions of the CWM. All of this has got me no closer to getting the phone working again. I either get errors while trying to install the ROM or it installed fine and just goes into a boot loop.

I don't believe I have bricked the phone as I can still do everything on it (flash more, fastboot mode, format etc in CWM) i just cant get the phone to boot up correctly. Also drivers are installed on my pc fine so dont think its a problem with that either. I do think it cold just be not using the correct ROM, CWM, KERNEL?

Would someone please be able to help me out here and give me a step by step guide of what I need to do (in simple terms) along with what files to use. I'm not after the latest Android version as long as its a recent version, the only thing it has to be able to do is move apps to the SD card.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

You will need to flash the phone with the stock firmware.

Here is the topic that explains how to do it using Flashtool and also contains links to the firmware: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2697277

Once your phone is unlocked, you can follow this topic to install CM11 on your phone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2584956

If everything is working properly then you just apply the topic on the swap (last point of my first post), there are several method for each variant (which is on stock rom or CM11)

Hi,

I am currently on the custom CM11 on my Samsung S3. My problem is that my son keeps playing with the cell and unknowingly installs apps or malware on the phone through the ads in the games. Can someone please suggest to me a way to lock this maybe a phone setting or an Apps that wont let him or anyone install anything new on the phone without a password.

Thanks,

Matt
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:
Maybe block the ads altogether with adaway or something similar?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Turn off WiFi and mobile data maybe?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amti366:
I have tried the adaway and others like it but some apps will still have ads like talking tom etc. as for the second option of turning the wifi and data off that is the only way I currently have but if the phone is lying somewhere and he gets hold of it all bets are off. I am surprised there is no popular app to password protect launching or installing new apps.
[LG G2 Mini] farstar78:
Hi

My LG G2 mini is acting a bit weird after the OTA update to firmware build KOT49I.A1403689895.

There are 2 main problems:

Sometimes when the phone rings and the answering options are shown, the touch screen stops functioning and I have to lock the phone by pushing the power button and unlock it again before I can answer the call.

When phone is being charged, alarm gets automatically snoozed. This only happens when the mobile is connected to the charger. I've installed another alarm clock app and didn't have the same problem with it.

Neither of these problems existed before the latest update.

I'm not sure if it's happening only to me or it's a bug in the firmware.:confused:

I wish I could undo the update. Any ideas?
[LG G2 Mini] clubband30:
When that update rolled out?

Mine still use the old firmware..

Hope will be fixed soom from LG.. :(
[LG G2 Mini] Darxor:
Problems, too.

I don't know if it's normal, but after the last update (Slovakia) I have got several problems with multitasking. It is kind of impossible to listen to music and browse the internet. The music just shuts down after 10 seconds of browsing the internet. Also sometimes the browser (the normal one and chrome) just shut down and all the phone does is show me the menu with applications out of nowhere.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Kupker:
Hi,

I have installed inappropriate version of CWM on my L9. Now it won't boot at all. When I press and hold power button to start the device, it stucks in a loop like this:

1. Short vibration.

2. LG logo screen appears for a second.

3. Black screen for another 3 seconds.

1. Vibration occurs again...

2. LG logo... etc

Situation above describes a behavior of the phone, which is disconnected from any wires.

Now when I plug shutted down device into USB port to Windows 7 PC, following mess happens:

1.Computer beeps like, USB device is connected.

2.Phone vibrates shortly.

3.Phone shows LG logo for a sec.

4.Phone shows black screen for 3 seconds.

5.Computer beeps like USB is disconnected.

... and again, and again.

Adb nor fastboot doesn't recognize any device (it did, before I have installed that wrong version of CWM, so USB drivers are OK I guess).

I tried hard reset, LG update tools, LGMobile support tool and of course I spent a whole day by searching this forum for any solution. I found similiar cases to mine (continuous beeps like Windows is detecting plugging and unplugging USB device), but this seems to be quite different because of continuous restarting of the phone, so the PC doesn't have a time to initiate USB device.

I would be really greatful for any help. Thanks

Edit: Problem SOLVED!

I solved it by following:

1. Download omap4boot from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1971014

2. Install driver for continuously plugging/unplugging phone in windows device manager (use omap4boot-for_optimus-v1.21\usb_drv_windows folder for search driver). Install it while the device is connected to PC.

3. Run command line and navigate to the omap4boot-for_optimus-v1.21 folder and run start_fastboot.bat.

4. Disconnect phone from PC.

5. Select 3. item Prada (works for L9 P760).

6. When prompted, connect turned off phone to the PC.

7. When promted to fastboot devices, choose Yes. Device should be found now. At this point you have approximately 3 minutes (device should stop restarting itself for a while) to do the rest.

8. Run another command line (do not close current one), navigate to android platform-tools and run fastboot flash recovery command with appropriate CWM img file. File can be downloaded here http://mobotalks.com/android/how-to-unlock-the-bootloader-and-install-cwm-recovery-on-lg-optimus-l9-ultimate-guide/

Done.

Hello Everyone,

Just brought used Samsung I9200 but it is acting strange.... When i start it, it is showing Samsung Galaxy I9200 and when i install any Stock 4.4.2 on it, it get stuck in reboot loop. Then when i flash recovery, custom rom after rooting it from recovery it boot fine but in IMEI it is showing 0

I installed and tested many device info apps from market and it is showing model as I9205. Is this mean it is I9205 and someone in past loaded i9200 rom thats why it is in reboot loop? I flashed 3 different stock roms ie; from russia, saudi arabia and uae but with every of these i9200 rom it never boot and always get stuck in reboot loop even recovery is not accessible during reboot loop but download mode can. So, when it get stuck in reboot loop i always do recovery, rooting and then custom rom. But, IMEI is 0 with no phone calls and No SMS actually no network at all. Even the sticker under the battery is not clear showing IMEI or model correctly

Some help will be really appreciated...

Hello,

I have an ACER Liquid E2 running Android 4.2

I have installed 3 web browsers, and I can see that some websites are much better browsed with one browser than with another. But it is not the same browser which best browses all the websites.

So I want to have a shortcut which points to website A with Chrome, another shortcut which points to website B with Firefox, etc. The problem is that when I create shortcuts to a website on my desktop, it always launches the default browser. And if I do not define a default browser, I have to say which browser I want to use each time I activate a shortcut. It is boring, and I do not always remember which browser is the best for each website.

So here is the question: is there a way to create shortcuts which are browser dependant and would permit me to associate one website with Chrome, another website with Firefox, .... ?

Thanks for any help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Only thing I can think of off the top of my head is using each browser's bookmark widget (Chrome, Dolphin, etc). Not every browser has them, unfortunately, but you should be able to find a generic bookmark widget that you can substitute.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbaou:
Hello es0tericcha0s,

Thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately, the shortcuts created from a browser bookmark seem to be nothing more than shortcuts to the URL. They do not seem to contain information on the browser to use. I have tried creating shortcuts from the standard Android browser as well as from Chrome, and they all behave the same: they use the default browser if it is defined, otherwise they ask which browser to use. The only difference is the look of the shortcut icon.

I was thinking that perhaps a one-line script could do the job. But I have not been able to locate the executable files for Chrome, Firefox, or the standard browser.

Could anyone help ?

[HTC One Max] dottat:
This file is not encrypted and is for S-Off users only! I posted an RUU mode flashable TWRP file at the bottom of this post... but if you would like to use an app like flashify to flash your own custom recovery that will work too right out of the box as this RUU is ROOTED! :) Also, HTC preloaded some image files for the "stickers" in the duo effects camera. They are preloaded to /data/preload so you can either flash the zip at the bottom of the second post or manually copy them over to that directory. They (HTC) haven't fully implemented this yet... so you probably won't even notice them missing.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO RELOCK TO RUN THIS RUU using EITHER METHOD!

OPTION 1)

Rename download file to 0P3PIMG.zip. Make sure you use an SD card formatted to fat32!! (otherwise the phone might not see it) Place file on physical SD card (not internal phone memory)... i repeat physical SD card. Boot up phone to bootloader mode and the phone will auto-detect the file and prompt to install it. Follow any remaining prompts to allow the RUU to flash the software to your phone.

-or-

OPTION 2)

Download file into working fastboot directory. Boot phone to fastboot mode and connect to pc. Type in the following commands.

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip T6WHL.3.02.651.5.0P3PIMG.zip

first time you run this it may be short... so run it a second time

Example in post 2

fastboot flash zip T6WHL.3.02.651.5.0P3PIMG.zip

The command prompt output will show you details as it flashes each partition and will show you when it has completed. At this time the green bar on the phone will appear 99% of the way across the screen.. Completely normal!~ Issue the next command to kick it out of RUU mode or optionally flash the custom recovery TWRP if you intend to root/flash custom roms and THEN issue the below command to get out of RUU mode.

fastboot reboot

(note) if you just want to reboot back to bootloader you can issue the command fastboot reboot-bootloader This will allow you to boot directly to recovery and start flashing/rooting fun.
