PLEASE help me.... is it hardbricked? and how to fix it... ive been searching everywhere.... oh by the way, my s4 mini is rooted....:confused::confused::confused::crying::crying: any help would be greatly appreciated...
[General Questions and Answers] Joe199799:
Maybe try to go into download mode and if you can flash stock ROM through Odin if not its possible may be hardbricked
[General Questions and Answers] FerasAlfrih777:
Sorry dude, it's mostly a hard brick

Why ain't you ask a JTAG man if he can help before checking up the hardware?

Since it's still vibrating means it's still a life.

Wishing you luck!

Thanks for the reply.... but is there any other way to unbrick it?? i cant do anything with it... i cant go to download mode because the screen is NOT DISPLAYING anything.... please, i dont want to buy RIFF/JTAG because it is so expensive... but thanks anyway... or maybe buying a new phone is the best way... :crying: :crying: :crying: i thought it is a sticky power button but it isnt... because it only loops in vibration when im holding the power button.... and when i plug it into the computer, it is unidentified...
[General Questions and Answers] ryge2399:
thanks for the reply... i cant go to download mode because the screen is black and it doesnt display anything... when i connect it to the computer via USB the computer says unidentified device... but i will try to do that... and if it doesnt work then my phone is hardbricked and needs to be JTAG-ed or ill research more on how to debrick it... super thanks!!! :good: :)
[General Questions and Answers] FerasAlfrih777:
Dude, don't buy one...

Just find a phone service shop equipped with Riff... even if you buy it, it's so hard and complicated to use it.

Try to find a service shop in your erea...

I was in your shoes once before... JTAG did it work again!

But also it might be a hardware faliure in your case!

Ask the JTAG man if it will help...or just go to a phone service shop to check up on your hardware!

hiii

1-remove battery

2-put the battery in your mobile

3-dont turn it on

4-hold power+volume down+home

if you entered odin mode then it is ok.... you can flash it using odin

if didn't.... then i think you must flash using BOX or ect...

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] aragon257:
Thanks for doing all the research here :D

Use xposed and install app settings. Use it to give those apps that crash the default DPI. Just tried working great. And thanks about the tip of adb build.prop backing up.

Running at 240 DPI here.

Edit: Play store wouldn't download anything until I cleared the cache.

Edit again: Actually viewing images and trying to use the camera causes the gallery to crash... Ill fix it

FINAL Edit: Installed the kitkat camera and gallery. I had to unisntall the old gallery first. This works for me :D
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
Great, that xposed module is pretty cool, but for now I must resist as we don't have recovery yet :)

BTW, I have updated first post to correct the System UI FC number, it is 180, not 220. ie, DPI can be as low as 200 and the phone is still usable. So, native 240 is a pretty safe value.

Also, the "Huawei home" FC start showing up from 220 and below, though I am using Nova launcher.

Cheers.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] aragon257:
I was having problems with incoming calls crashing the phone app. So back to 320, but using App Settings to change my downloaded apps to 240
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
Admired by this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/general/info-official-galaxy-nexus-lcd-density-t1392089

Call me bored, today I have tried more DPIs, and found 264 is the lowest number that Settings is working. Since the crashing is just cause by GUI view arrangement issue, nothing to do with hardware etc. So I will stick with 264 for now. :)

For the past few days with settings 280, I only noticed gallery is the problem. I didn't try too much widget/apps. Everything else I tried works pretty good.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] BBCHAMPs:
Please refresh my memory, is lowering the DPI making the image smaller? If so, im interested.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
yes, everything (font,icon,layout)will be smaller. but image actually maybe different story. try and see yourself!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Bobvark:
so what apps are better in tablet mode for me to try?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
I didn't use any particular tablet mode etc stuff, the lower DPI gives me more space asset, thats all.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Bobvark:
ok, so Chrome, gmail, what would be good DPI for those? I'm a little worried about f'n up my phone and don't just want to do trial and error.

Is 240 the standard you all are using?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
264 or 280 should be safer. 240 the settings app wont work.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
Added some screenshot to the 1st post. :)
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] BBCHAMPs:
I wanna mess with this later
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
ok, now with a twrp backup taken, I installed xposed and now i got exact same problem. 240 is really sweet dpi, even the lock screen layout is good.

I tried complete delete phone.apk, and contacts.apk, but looks like not easy to find a good replacement. other dialer app from play store still requires these two apks. And i checked my other phone 4.3 rom, they force close. will continue to the search.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] oncouch1:
Have you tried it with the xposed programs? I know it worked for gallery but not sure for settings.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
Thanks. Didn't try gallery with app settings module yet. For 240 dpi, call out/in problem is what I am focused on right now.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] oncouch1:
Was trying app settings with 240, I set phone dialer etc. at stock setting but forgot had face lock so when I restarted, crash due to camera (what a dumb@ss!) Thank you guys for TWRP so I could restore! ;). On vacation and no PC to try and adb to modify build.prop.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
yes, with exposed module, at 240 dpi, gallery/camera works fine, settings also worked, only phone app still FC. so now i am at 264, and use exposed to fix gallery.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] oncouch1:
Silly question, app settings didn't work on dialer?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
when calls come in, phone apps FC when dpi is 240 ( and app settings use 320 for com.android.phone)

EDIT:

OK, Maybe this defeat the purpose, set SystemUI to 264 resolve the incoming call problem. The incoming call crashed the phone app because the StatusBar trying to get a phone icon resource but failed.

To summary, In build.prop DPI set to 240, I need use Xposed "App Settings" to set following App DPI to higher value to make the phone fully work:

Gallery(com.android.gallery3d): 297
Phone(com.android.phone): 264
Settings(com.android.settings): 264
SystemUI(com.android.systemui): 264

This number is set to lowest possible value, of course you can set to 320, then related apps will be bigger.

Hello!

I recently purchased a ZTE Open C and I managed to install Android 4.4.2 on the phone but I am having trouble installing a GApps package.

The most recently approach I tried was to use the following package http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 but it failed.

It dosent really matter which version of the GApps I used it always seems to failed becuase "the package is corrupt".

Does anyone know of a way of getting Google apps onto my phone?

If it helps I beleive that the version of Android running on my phone is Odexed as there are .odex files in the /system/app folder.

I'm new at this, perhaps with a better explanation of the steps, or images, I would perceive better.

Can you explain me briefly? I have 2 files: A ROM.zip and a .ftf file.

I understand that:

1) Install CWM

2) wipedata/factory reset wipe cache partition, wipe Dalvik cache

3) Install a rom.zip

4) fix permitions

5) flash a ftf file.

that's it?

Hi,

I have just added an XDA Orbit to my XDA exec and XDA2, which means that I need two different versions of ActiveSynch running - 3.8 and 4.2.

Is there any way for all devices to use the same version? - and in any case is that wise?

I have been trying to find a solution to my xooms horrible radio problems for a month or better now. It seems i am not the only one with fallback issues, but no solutions as of yet. I Big parted and have installed CM, Omni, and EOS ROMS. All with the exact same problem. I can get 4g service just fine- when signal is available. I have yet to see 3g or 1x service. Something with the radio package burned into these ROMS is not allowing the radio to use legacy networks. Maybe would not be such an issue but, here in the middle of BFE, there is only occasional 4g service and usually 3g, always 1x. I have even tried swapping SIM cards and spent a couple hours on the phone with verizon tech support- they are confident it is something with my device. Is there any way to get this resolved? Or are we all SOL. Can anyone get 3g service after changing the preferred network type in settings?

What's your guys' verdict for best Skin on the XBMC for FTV?

I've always used Confluence with my Apple TV2 and now the Fire TV.. however I find its pretty standard and can't do too much, but I do like the Addon Shortcuts how their are listed below.

Aeon Flux looks good, but almost a bit overwhelming and complicated to manoeuvre around.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] KillerJoeBR:
I like Ace. It's not very heavy and it is very customizable. Like adding addons or favorites to the home screen.

Amber

The Amber skin is customizable, light-weight and also features a nice vertical layout. Works really well for me.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] DHeffernan:
Not sure how I feel about this amber skin.. the colours just seem off.

This is it! That looks nice and exactly what I was hoping for I can even add 7 shortcuts instead of 5, this seems like something I can work with and customize more cause I think the Confluence looks good just is lacking some so perhaps this CCM can make up for the lacking
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] mjbxx:
Not sure what you mean about colors in Amber as everything from the default picture to the individual app screens are customizable. I dislike any horizontal UI setup because I dealt for years prior with that antiquated platform known as the Roku.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] DHeffernan:
When you say horizontal you mean the scroll bar on the bottom that has all the headings?

What does your look like exactly?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] mjbxx:
Yes, that horizontal scroll bar type UI is totally detested as I require a vertical home screen view. Here is a view of my personalized vertical UI home screen in Amber as seen below.

You have to go into the Confluence skin first and "favorite" (Right click an app and select "Add To Favorites") individual Android apps in the Programs section. Then go to the Amber skin and these apps will be appear in Favorites. Then follow directions below.

1- Settings→ XBMC→ Appearance→ Settings Level (Set it to "Expert")

2- Settings→ Home Layout→ Select "Use Vertical Main Menu On Home Screen.

3- Settings→ Home Menu→ Select the "Empty" locations and add individual apps to the home screen.
