[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] madbat99:
KitKat should run waaaay smoother without any crashes. You may have messed something else up. Do a factory reset or flash a factory image and it should run smooth as butter. It is centered around "project butter" for smoothness. The only drawback that is considered normal is less battery performance. Android L is going to be much better, project Volta for improved battery. After any major system update, a factory reset or fastboot flashing the factory image clears out any leftover data from the previous system and helps many problems. But the 2012 is a lot different from 2013.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Michael Carleone:
Interesting. Are you saying that with Android L will be ok on the 2012 even though it doesn't have the same amount of RAM as the 2013 Nexus 7?

I did do a full restore many times before and after JB (recently) there was no change. The only time the device ran smooth and snappy was with Jelly Bean. According to this post it is to do file system with the Nexus 2012: http://pocketnow.com/2014/03/18/speed-up-the-nexus-7 and http://www.xda-developers.com/android/speed-up-your-aging-nexus-7-2012s-storage-with-f2fs/

I also read somewhere else too that with the Kit Kat update on the 2012 the partition size became smaller and that's what is causing the lag?

Hi all,

I've a p3600 tim branded and the problem is that if i do an hard reset and let customize the device via the files present in the extended rom, then pocke msn is disabled...if I do a hard reset and then a soft reset to stop customization when it starts, then the pocket msn is enabled.

is there a way to re-enable the pocket msn without this workaround cause i'd like to have the tim customization or at least the others customizations present in the extended rom?

Thank you in advance and excuse me for my bad english.

P.s.1

in the extended rom i have only 3 files .cab and a .txt, but when the customization starts it install more files .cab?!

P.s.2

I know that if i want i can crate a shortcut from \windows\instmsgr.exe to \windows\start menu and enable messenger, but what i need is to enable pocket msn and the today plugin
[P3600 General] alexbard:
You can find under /windows the instmsgr.exe program that is ONLY the MSN messenger and not all the Pocket MSN suite.

Create a shortcut under \windows\start menu\ and it's all right!

[P3600 General] D@vide:
Hi alexbard,

many thanks for your reply, but look at Ps2 point of my post, I already know what you suggest, my question is how to enable the entire suite of pocket msn with the today plugin....

any news from the board?

D@vide
[P3600 General] seantam:
You may try Windows Live for WM5, though it is still a beta version, but it has both msn & messenger.
[P3600 General] sayborg:
Hi,

Where can we find windows live messenger 2005?
[P3600 General] alexbard:
Windows Live works not so well..... especially under wifi.

I found it looking at emu***le, browsing for live_messenger_wm.

No news until the new rom release, htc confirmed a few bugs in the TIM release.
[P3600 General] D@vide:
This is the bad cab file!!

Hi there,

I'm playing with some registry entry trying to solve the problem...I'll post any news...

Here attached is the cab file that makes the TIM customizazions and disable Pocket MSN (be carefull to launch it on your non TIM branded device if you dont want to hard reset to re-enable pocket MSN), if someone can examine the cab to understand where this file makes the changes that disable PMSN is welcome, I'm not so smart :-(

The file is not present in the extended rom but in the \windows dir, probably is recalled by another file of the extended rom.

hope this help our needs..

D@vide
[P3600 General] vbi:
I'll have a look at it.... stay tuned...
[P3600 General] vbi:
Had a look at that cab file, but there are not registry entries.

Maybe the MSN is disabled in another cab, or it's done from an executable.

I have a TIM branded P3600 and done a hard reset without letting the device install the extra software. Works fine and I don't miss any of the added features from TIM software customization...
[P3600 General] mikiresty:
sorry...

mikiresty
[P3600 General] D@vide:
Hi vbi,

it's sure that PMSN is disabled by the cab I'have attached before...I made the following:

Hard reset

Reset before customizations starts...PMSN is enabled!! Then...

Under \windows tap on that cab and.... PMSN is disabled so, if there are not registry entry probably PMSN is disabled by an exe present on that cab like you say, also not all but some customizations like Alice mail and the settings for MMS and server exchange are miss..

Damn!

D@vide
[P3600 General] vbi:
I did the same. I gave a look to the cab just to see if I can modify it for you.... but no luck!

Anyway... I just add the MSN icon to th HTChomeplug... easy.

Ciao!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Michael Carleone:
Is there a way to prevent OTA updates to the Nexus 7 Wifi (2013)? My device is rooted with Towelroot.

Additionally, if by chance I do accidentally update, can I downgrade later?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] madbat99:
Why would you not want update? You realize the improvements and enhancements of KitKat? But you can fastboot flash any version of android available for the n7 2013 with a factory image. Or if you don't know how to use fastboot, just use a toolkit like wugfresh. Or you can just flash a zip of any android through twrp.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Michael Carleone:
After what happened to my 2012 Nexus 7, I don't want any new major revisions to slow the device down. I also know with Apple devices, the same is true. That's why my iPhone 5 is Jailbroken so it won't update to to iOS 8.

I have the twrp root. I haven't messed with it though. Are you saying that I can install any flash even cyanogenmod with twrp?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kindofabuzz:
L will be faster than KK. Update it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] madbat99:
Yes you can install cyanogen. Just make sure its for the right device. Builds for nexus 7(2013) WiFi will say flo, as that's its nickname.

If upgrading to 4.4.4 (NH7) are you then able to revert back to 4.4.2 (NC5)? Complete stock including boot and recovery. Knox 0x0

Thank for your help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
Yes you can. first, after you upgrade to 4.4.4, you can try to do a factory reset back to 4.4.2. If you are still at 4.4.4 after the reset, than you will have try one of the options below.

Its tricky, your device may or my not boot loop when you go back to 4.4.2. However, if you check out my post http://xdaforums.com/note-3-sprint/help/4-4-4-download-mode-t2877528 we found two ways around the boot loop. In post #7 he did it by going into factory recovery and doing a factory reset, this will work without tripping KNOX. My way works, but it is for a device with KNOX already tripped.

Reverted back to 4.4.2

I did the OTA today to 4.4.4. After a successful upgrade, I flashed back to 4.4.2 using Odin and the stock NC5 ROM. My phone ended up in a boot loop and I did what was suggested if your phone gets into a boot loop. I booted into stock recovery and did a factory reset. I was then able to boot successfully into 4.4.2! Everything still stock. Knox still 0x0 and device status Official

installing update firmware 4.4.4

Please forgive me if I am in the wrong forum. Just a couple of questions. I am currently on the rooted nc5 touch wiz rom on my sprint galaxy note 3. Here goes: Do I have to unroot to install the 4.4.4 stock firmware. Or just flash it with odin. Secondly, what about my nandroid backups on nc5. Can they be used again after rooting the 4.4.4 firmware. I have cm11 nightly ( awesome rom btw ) or do I have to go thru the whole process from scratch. Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
NO, you do not have to unroot your device. BACK UP YOUR DATA FIRST !!! Just boot into download mode and flash through Odin here is a link to a complete copy of 4.4.4 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712205 . Now you might lose your nandroid backups. So here is what I would do. First make a copy of your backups file to the desktop of your PC. Now after you get 4.4.4 installed and rooted, install the same recovery you used before. After you make a backup of rooted stock 4.4.4 to your sd card, copy the old backups file on your PC to your new backup file. Now try and restore an old backup. Chances are its going to come back md5 mismatch error, no problem !!! YES, just use a root file manger like Root Explorer go to the old backup file that failed, and click on it. You will see all the files that make up the OS, delete the nandriod.md5 file. Now click on add a new file, and add nandroid.md5 where the old one was, check permissions rwxrwx---. Restore the backup again since the new nandroid.md5 is empty it forces the system to ignore it and it will restore your old backup. Once it boots up, and everything is good make a new backup of the old one, this will have a new md5 and you will be able to restore with no problem the next time.

[About XDA developers] Moley13:
Hi there,

Just letting you guys know about some odd behavior I encountered.

I couldn't remember if I had an account here or not, so I figured I'd try a password (username) retrieval, and no matter how many times I tried, I kept getting "The string you entered for the image verification did not match what was displayed."

I'm always careful to refresh Captchas until I'm absolutely certain I know what it says, and I tried 5+ times - I can't be that bad at entering them!

I know now that I didn't have an account on the site, and this was presumably why it was giving an error - albeit the wrong description for the error.

Thanks,

Moley
[About XDA developers] NOOK!E:
Yeah, if the account doesn't actually exist that'll mess a few things up! :laugh:
[About XDA developers] Moley13:
Haha, it would seem so.

A "There is no account for this email address on this site" error may have been more appropriate thought!

I'm sure a site full of developers can appreciate the need for accurate error codes/reporting ;)
[About XDA developers] NOOK!E:
Indeed. If there's one thing I really hate, it's when I execute a command or, well,

do something

, and when it has an error, it either doesn't return a message at all, or it returns an obscure message that doesn't help anyone fix the problem. Major pet peeve of mine.

:p
[About XDA developers] Moley13:
Is there anything more I can do to bring this to the attention of the webmasters (mods?)?

Other than through the contact link down the bottom of the page (I feel that wouldn't be the most efficient).

Cheers
[About XDA developers] NOOK!E:
If I'm not mistaken, the only options are:

1. Use the inefficient contact link method

2. PM the moderator to which you'd like to bring the problem

3. Post it on XDA (which, of course, you've already done)

I'm not aware of any other methods.

With my Nexus 10 running ThunderKat 4.4.4, I recently discovered in Settings - Display that there is a Cast Screen button. When clicked I can connect to my Chromecast and whalla, my Nexus 10's screen is up on my TV!

Do you use a privacy app App Ops? For a long time I couldn't get Maps to pin point me. I wouldn't even get the little ! Shape in the left hand corner.

Once I turned those back on I was able to get a lock in seconds.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stas333:

Damn it! Second time I had a problem due to App Ops. lol

Thanks for point me out Google Play Services. I thought that enabling for Google Maps would have been enough and

GPServices have gotten lost on the bottom of App Ops list due to the previous disabling.

The problem is that with Google Play Services Location enabled any app could call Maps and drain the battery.

Will check if this will affect battery life. not sure.

Do you care about warranty? (is there even some on the Dev edition?)

I would get the normal one, claim the 50gb (now 50 extra gb, so 100 gb total) Drive storage for 2 years, Unlock it by yourself, and then chose if you want a Sense 6 custom rom, or a GPE Rom.

That way you get 100 gb drive (i mean, why not? thats still 48 dollar saved :P), and can have both, sense and GPE. And i pretty enjoy sense, its features are so nice, i dont even want to go back to GPE or CM~^^

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nex|:
Hello,

My razr xt910 had stock rom and MIUI on 1st slot using safestrap and everything was going well then today the device shutdown as the battery was low, When I connect it to the wall charger it boots just to the MOTOROLA logo "the first one.. before the safestrap menu" I mean there is no sign that its charging or so and when I connect it to the PC only the led notification goes on.

I left it for while on the wall charger then the screen goes off just after I unplug it from the charger and I'm not able to boot it up again. so I back to plug it again. after many tries I managed to boot to safestrap recovery and changed the rom slot to the stock rom as I thought the problem with the MIUI rom restarted system and same problem happens.

and when I managed to pass the safestrap menu to the stock rom the device stuck at boot animation and either it keeps animating forever or it goes off after short time. tried to boot to fastboot menu (power+ vol down) it says battery low so...

- Is it really charging when it's connected to wall charger (showing moto logo) or when it's connected to the pc (led notification on) ? I tried to press vol down on both like some tutorial said but it didn't show the battery.

- After searching for solution, I didn't find the same problem happened to someone but similar ones that all were suggested to flash using rsdlite. can I flash different version of the stock one? I mean for my region there's 2 ics frimwares and I don't remember which one was the device on so it's ok to use any? Also if rsdlite is suggested in my case could you please provide detailed steps as I didn't use rsdlite or to flash frimwares before "was just flashing custom roms using SS". And how would I use while everytime I go to fastboot menu I see battery low msg .

- Could the problem be a battery's one? As the device sometimes goes off just after unplugging it and I can't power on it even I left it on wallcharger for like 30 mins.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
