Adam i dont think the pacman is worthy of use on the Universal. Pacman = Free sucky old game. I think you should try donkey kong on the extended ROM and let me know if it works ;) . Chris would be happy if you used dk . Go ahead and try to install it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] skemeone:
oh always da old DONKEY KONG or should i say DK
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Dan Feeny:
Not sure if I agree... or maybe we're talking about different steps in the lifetime of the extended rom.

I've always wondered why I don't hear more people talking about installing files to the extended rom. But I have been doing so successfullly for quite a while. I've had no issues, I simply use it as another drive on the phone.

Here's a list of programs that I have installed there and are running successfully. I'm currently using 7.76Mb and have 2.17Mb free.

PHM RegEdit

Hitchhiker Wifi

PocketPuTTY

Skype

Total Commander

Hmmm... i hardly think making 'fun' (ho ho ho) of what someone has on their rom is constructive - but hey i'll play along!

My point was that you CAN install to the extended rom if you unlock it. I have had several programs - most that dont like the SD card like Agile that need to boot up on start before the SD is ready - installed on the extended rom and they work fine.... oh and PacMan too! Oh and i believe they call PacMan a 'Classic', very similar to 'DK' i think!

is it normal?

do you also experince this?

i always charge my gp2 at night it get fully charge @12 a.m in the midnight

after i woke up in the morning

it drops 8% im always getting this sudden battery loss.

so i root yesterday install greenify and greenified all 3rd party apps and some symstem apps running on background

and still get the same result.

i didn't experince that on my g2

same procedure but still 100% after i woke up in the morning.

do i need to calibrate my battery?
[LG G Pro 2] Danpavese:
I don't think it is a problem of battery calibration, because the battery suddenly dropped to 8%... it is too much ... you can try, but i don't think it will solve the problem... try to put off the battery before switch on the phone in the morning after full charge, then put in the battery and with phone off, try to recharge; after about 30 minutes try the phone and let me know :good:

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btemtd:
Hi Guys,

I have just realised something, this is nothing to do with KNOX, it is only the official status thing that changes when you have a custom Kernel or Custom rom.

Screen Mirroring does NOT work when you are in Custom Status, this happened to be the same when I googled and found S4 was the same post after post after post of people stating the same thing (I get an error or hardware device error when screen mirror starts or it will start for 4 seconds then stop.

For people wanting to see their status -

You can see this in Download Mode or You can see this in ABOUT DEVICE > STATUS> Scroll all the way down to bottom.

There is a solution which worked on the S4, where you were able to change status from custom back to Official, Yes KNOX is still tripped if you have tripped it but the status is able to be changed back to official

Can someone please direct me to a way we can get official status back on the S5, I love my kernel and my tweaks, and I love my latest firmware I dont care about Knox. For the people who are scared about Knox, I was able to change my phone for a new phone because of a defect and this is after I triggered knox, I was sent a new phone and I placed the old phone in the bag and sent it back, guess what ? I tripped knox again lol (who cares) most of the time when you go to swap your phone they don't check.

All I want is the official status back so I can get my screen mirroring working, this is an awesome feature
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btemtd:
Anyone?

Am I the only person with a rooted Knox-tripped S5 with custom , Recovery,Kernel & want to use screen mirroring?

S5 Development is no where near the type of dev we had when the S3 came out, pretty sad.

I think now that the HTC + LG are up in terms of hardware many people left the samsung scene leaving less devs in the area.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deacde:
Hi, I have this this problem no internet access through mobile network for several months now. After the official update 4.3 was release(around Jan,Feb) I install the update to my phone and then the symbol for data access(H+,H,R,etc) at signal bar never came out, I can still call and receive sms though. Then I revert back to 4.1 stock rom, the mobile data is there again! I stick with outdated stock ROM for several month and finally I decided to use custom ROM.

My phone is rooted with locked bootloader, I use CM11 rom and did every step correctly and the mobile data is gone on me again! So my phone currently can connect with internet with wifi right now, does anyone know what is the problem and how to fix it?

btw another problem is I'cant find my sdcard on my computer when I connect the phone to computer. No option on usb storage?

p/s: hate to revert back to stock 4.1, although I'm greatly fond with the illumination bar:crying: Now i'm in love with cm11, just tell me how to fix the mobile data access and I'm good to go
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Furrydaus:
Mobile data is lost during flashing of a rom. There is no way of running away from that. But to fix mobile data, it depends on your carrier. Mobile data services are connected to the Internet antennas nearest to your device but it isnt possible to connect to them without an APN. An APN directs/connects ur device to the proper Internet provider and plan. This apns are lost usually during flashing. Most data carriers pre install a sim card application to your sim card after a couple of minutes(or hours) to your device usually with the name of your carrier. This applications usually have an option to set apns. Run that and follow their instructions and youll regain APN. But if ur phone doesnt have the app, go online and search on how to restore ur APN for your carrier.

Regards,

Furrydaus
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deacde:
after flasing new rom I always download my carrier apn, the apn is always there..
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Furrydaus:

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deacde:
care to show me the link on how to that? :D
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
You can also add the apn yourself ;)

And add them yourself :) Not hard..

You only have to apply the baseband fix when baseband is unknown under settings > about phone..

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deacde:
thx for the reply, but the apn is always there in my phone(correctly) and I hve delete and add it myself hundreds times now:crying:

I look up at baseband version, it is not unknown so i don't have to find the fix right? thx for the info :good:

so back to the main problem, still no solution for no mobile data on my phone.:(:crying:

Does Jcase/Beaups Xperia Z1s root method still work? I'm not seeming to be able to do it
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Torguy:
So I am waiting for the Galaxy Note 4 next week Spt 3, and released specs and everything look good, but what turns me off from the phone is the rather small display. I mean 5.7inch is stupid I think, they could have at least made it a 6" as I was hoping for.

The Xperia Z Ultra has a 6.4" display and the specs are still good, only came out last year. I am a very lite user, I don't play games or use many Apps, just mainly for phone and texting.

What do you guys think, I can get it for $370 CAD no tax or shipping from U.S via eBay brand new unlocked, is it a good phone? Or am I making a mistake not getting the Note 4 and going for a slightly older phone?

I would really appreciate any feedback you can provide, thanks!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I would go with the Ultra (only as the wife has a S4 and I hate it). As you say the specs are still good, and Sony's software is fast with not too much bloat. Also note that it is easy to root and flash custom ROMs to - although some people seem to have real trouble :confused:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ziaba:
Z Ultra from me, the best value for money smartphone now:good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
I've owned the Note II and perhaps less relevant the Galaxy Nexus, but I can say the Z Ultra, after being quite wary regarding Sony, is the best smart phone I have owned. It's big and beautiful and has an understated, yet classy look. It's super thin and shines on both the hard- and software side. Samsung is a step down, with its ugly and tacky plastics, let alone the horrible Touchwiz. The ZU is still a beast with the SD 800 cpu and destroys everything on its path. Take the plunge, you won't regret, possibly for years to come, if you wanted to.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kingofthebraves:
I'm using a note 3 now and am planning to shift to an xperia z ultra because I'm looking for stock android. For conversion to gpe and back, which model version should I buy? Lte or non lte?

How is the speaker quality of the device? All the reviews indicate it as soft. Is battery life better on the gpe?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xManMythLegend:
No camera flash for z ultra was a deal breaker.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] joulukas:
I dont see it as a dealbreaker. Sure i cant look at some pipes in the dark, which i had to do quite few times past 6 months, but as a device its quite ok without the flash. Mayby its also, cause i see camera as least important functionality in a phone, but let that be another discussion.

As for the general question, I think Note 4 will be preferred choice, I love my Ultra, seriously best phone in the market at the very moment imo. But thats the thing, Note 4 is generation up and thats a big thing. Another aspect that really speaks for samsung is that they actually put some thought - why do we go for such a big screen on this bloody thing, which i feel is lacking on Ultra.

I was between note and Ultra when note 3 launched, but the overall feel and my emotion was better on Sony, tho note came close with its trough thought phablet feel.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xManMythLegend:
If the Z ultra provided any Spen functionality OR a camera flash I would have gotten it. To me that was two points. But everyone has different needs I can easily see why Zultra was a superb choice.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
I would consider the new Z3 Tablet Compact if the size is deemed acceptable. Even if I had the Note I and II, I would not another device in that series mostly because of all restrictions Samsung has put up such as efuse, limitations on "right" and "wrong" flashing of stock ROM (i.e. efuse goes off if you downgrade through Odin etc not to mention custom ROMs), unstandardized hardware (different CPU/GPU depending on market), carrier branding (unlocked devices not available unless importing), region lock and so forth. TouchWiz is also a complete dealbreaker in those L times.

The S-Pen is a great concept, though but is so linked to TouchWiz that most of the features are lost if a AOSP/CM is flashed. Because of all those items on the list, I avoid their devices as a plague. It doesn't matter what features they include in their TW ROMs since I consider TW just horrible.

I consider the Ultra to be a great device still and in most cases preferable over Samsung products but it has been in the market for one year now. On the other hand: it is still unsurpassed as a complete package when it comes to screen size and so forth.

It is also worth to mention that the Note series use 480 DPI phone mode so arguments like "it use the big screen better" is not valid. The Ultra runs 240 DPI phablet mode well with the GPE ROM and multi window etc is easily fixed through Xposed Framework.

I dare to say that the Ultra + 240 DPI + GPE ROM + Xposed Framework blows the competition out of the water software wise. The only competitors with a similar experience is the Nexus line or OnePlus One with CM11S.

My personal planning for the future is:

1. Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact

2. 7 inch AOSP/CM phablets from other manufacturers

Since number 2 is very uncertain considering the lack of rumors about such devices, I am leaning heavily toward the alternative 1 since I made a mockup and deemed it acceptable from a carrying point of view.

If the Tablet Z3 Compact is considered too big, I don't see any better options than the Ultra at the moment. It still rules unsurpassed when it comes to large-screen tablet replacements.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kindrich:
Whatever you do, just stay the hell away from Samsung. Between the fugly TouchWiz, bloated software, KNOX warranty void, slow updates, I promise to myself I will never ever buy another Samsung device. Sure, flashing CM11 would fix all that problems, but you might as well just buy a Nexus 5 at that point as all the special features that make a Note device a Note device are gone.

Also, Samsung Note devices are not very mod/hack-friendly due to their proprietary S-Pen and digitizer driver, as well as numerous in-house parts that we just can't get the drivers for. A year later and we still can't get the NFC working correctly on the Note 3.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dog-man:
I installed mobpro which is a streaming app.

Sadly it won't run on my Xoom.

I contacted the author of this app and I have been told that the Xoom doesn't support neon instruction set which is required to efficiently do video decoding.

Is this correct?

Seems strange that it can run lots of other streaming apps but not this one.

It has the latest cyanogen 4.4.4 KitKat ROM.

Can't anyone run mobpro on their Xoom?
[General Questions and Answers] dpeteual:
I have an HTC One X. I had a good custom rom installed with 4.4.2. Then I made an error. I tried to go back to a saved image of the original rom. It would not load the backup. Then I made the error. I selected Factory Reset on the HBOOT screen. Now I can't get back on the phone except in HBOOT or Fastboot. I can get to HBOOT and TWRP but there is no Restore image.

When I connect the phone to my computer and try to send a file to the phone, I can get a connection with Fastboot but not ADB. To do this I set the Phone to Fastboot and I used fastboot devices on the computer and got a good connection. Now I would like to use fastboot to send an image to the phone. I have rom.zip files but no image files that I know of.

Any suggestions on how I can use fastboot to get my phone back to operational?

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n3d9ed189:
I recently installed franco.Kernel R15 on my stock OPO with TWRP and I noticed when I plugged in my headphones, there is a full second delay of it being detected (this was also present on R14). Is this normal? This occurred on several other kernels on my OPO as well such as stock Mahdi's, stock CM11 M9/nightlies, and so on. I've tested these combinations and are without the aforementioned problem, PA stock, Franco R13 on all the ROMs I've tested with (PA, DroidKang, Mahdi, CM11S), CM11S stock.

This issue is definitely related to the kernel and I have tried to flash the official recovery image and same results after flashing franco kernel R15. And I would inquire about this in his thread but as of now, I'm not eligible to do so.

[Asus Transformer TF700] r3dal3rt:
Hey guys,

I'm having some trouble with flashing a new ROM and now I've soft-bricked my device.

I was trying to flash from CROMi to CM11 so I wiped data, cache, dalvik using TWRP. But when i tried to flash CM11 M9, i would get the "failed" error. I tried flashing other ROMs but same result - "FAILED".

So I thought maybe it was the recovery. I downloaded a CWM recovery (in .zip) and tried to flash it. FAILED!

I tried to restore my device using the "Recover /Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore with custom recovery" method from this post. Since it is basically flashing the stock ROM, naturally it fails.

Now I'm out of ideas. How can I save my tablet?

Thanks for your help guys!

PS: I'm trying to install CMW via fastboot. When I press power + vol down, I get to the screen with "RCK, Android, Data Wipe"; I dont see the USB icon. How do i boot into fastboot?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You are in fastboot mode when you see the three icons. Read the tiny script.

Except for CM11 M9 you did not give us anything to work with.

Give us the version numbers of:

- CROMi-X you were running

- your bootloader

- your recovery

My best guess is you are trying to flash something with an incompatible recovery, but that's just a wild guess.....

And stop flashing willy nilly until you know what's going on. You can brick this tablet if you try hard enough, you know....
[Asus Transformer TF700] r3dal3rt:
Hey bern,

Thanks for the reply.

My tablet got really slow so I decided to flash CM 11 M9, which is what I use on my Note 3.

I'm running TWRP 2.6.1.0. Not sure which CROMi I was running because I can't boot into Android. I did a data wipe prior to (attempting to) flashing CM11 and now it boots straight to recovery.

I read that TWRP is not compatible with CM11 and that I should flash CWM. But TWRP fails when I try to flash anything so I'm thinking I should attempt ADB sodeload or terminal command and load that way?

Thanks again

Edit: I downloaded CM11 M9 for tf700. I also tried various nightlies in case my original download was corrupt. It ends in failure :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] oh.herro:
Hi berndblb!

I'm also having this problem and I see that you're quite active in the TF700 forum that you could help me out. I wouldnt say I'm an expert but I have tinkered with phones (mostly Samsung and Nexus devices) in the past so I am familiar with ADB, terminal commands, flashing ROMs, etc.

I'm running TWRP 2.6.1. I was running CROMi-X (not sure which version) and wanted to flash OmniROM. However, TWRP would show "error flashing zip" and "failed" in red. I tried flashing a few other zips including TWRP 2.7.1.1 and CWM (I readTWRP is not compatible with some ROMs) and I would still get the error and "failed".

So now, I can't boot into the OS to flash a recovery via fastboot or via CWM Rom Manager, nor can I flash anything in TWRP. I also attempted to flash TWRP 2.7.1.1 via terminal command

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4[HTML]. I loads but it doesnt install when i restart my device.

What do you think I should try next? I'm getting pretty desperate at this point. Is my device bricked-bricked or can i salvage it?

Thanks!
