[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] joe_dude:
It's the bluetooth audio gateway extension file used on the Prophet (and probably a few other HTC devices). AFAIK, it's what handles the bluetooth button for Voice Speed Dial.

Anyway, changing to another voice dial program has never worked properly, but people on other other forums have successfully hacked the bgextagmodule.dll to fix the problem. The Prophet uses oemagw.dll instead, so that's the file I want to try to edit.

I've had no luck trying to extract a copy of this file, so if someone could get a copy of this file, or tell be what tool to use to extract it from nk.nbf, that'd be great! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] s384:
So I took a long break from flashing my phone. I just want to get a newer stock android Rom on the phone. Not touchwiz Rom. Do I just download and flash the Rom? Up to date bootloader just for touchwiz based Rom correct?

All I know is I have 4.1.2 now. I317m. It's rooted of course and some kind of custom Rom. It's been a loong time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
If you go on Cyanogenmod's website they have a installer that is really easy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] s384:
I don't have a computer access right now. Or very often at all.

Also if I go to a kitkat touchwiz Rom I just have to flash the proper kernel for wifi to work? Is this consistent across all Roms I'd be looking to flash?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Sometimes you have to flash a kernel to get wifi to work but I use agni kernel he makes one for tw and cm roms they are awesome
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmguy:
I'm still on 4.4.2 on my Galaxy S5. I rooted using Towel Root and want to update to 4.4.4 to take advantage of the VoLTE calling. However it seems the current method of flashing a new (even if official Samsung) Kernel with Odin may trip Knox making my warranty (totally) void. (I'm aware in a rooted/modified state it's void. Restored to total stock, unrooted. Warranty should be restored). So my question, is there a current method that doesn't trip Knox and allow me to root 4.4.4?

Thanks

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vinay_FXG:
Two words : FauxSound & Viper4AndroidFX

FauxSound requires a kernel that supports it. DoomKernel v13 does have it.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sufiya:
Xperia z ultra got 4.4.4 before Xperia z
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bushako:
If the Google play edition gets its then for certain it will be easier to port it to the XZU and we wouldn't need to wait so long. I think Sony made a mention that they will only release the latest Lollipop based Stock rom 90days after it is officially released by Google to the consumers.

Hi,

Since i'm in Australia, I need this update.

But I'm running TWRP and rooted. Thought I got the KTU84Q.zip file, I cannot install it because I think it's signed.

Since I'm also running on Mac, I can't use any toolkit. Can someone help me with installing this file?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Download a pre-rooted rom zip from this forum, flash.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
just download the flashable radio zip here, in the radio thread, then flash it via your recovery. win/win situation..

and if you change any system files from stock, you will not ever be able to flash an official ota. what most root users is just flash a rooted updated rom, any, even a rooted stock.
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
At least when I compare it to my Galaxy S4. I had noticed it didn't have as many wifi bars when I was in the same room a ways away from my router so at first I decided to go right into the room where my router is and test it literally a foot away from the router.

Looked promising.

[IMG="Galaxy S4 and LG G3 Wireless AC testing."]http://i.imgur.com/aMB1tHrl.png[/IMG]

GS4 left, LG G3 right

But then I went back to the room where I'm usually at in my house when using the phone and it was very disappointing for the G3.

[IMG="GS4 and LG G3 wifi ac test a few rooms and walls away from router."]http://i.imgur.com/r4eKHWtl.jpg[/IMG]

I really want to keep this phone but I keep finding things that are talking me out of it. Don't be surprised if I post up a huge list of cons later... despite all the pros.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
Don't be too sure that Samsung hasn't just tweaked the way the bars are displayed. Test with some tool that will give you the true signal strength Like WifiAnalyzer by farproc ti eliminate that possibility.
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
I'll do a WiFi analyzer comparison. But the fact that the speed indicated between the GS4 and G3 are so drastically different between the phones makes me think I'm not going to be too pleased.

My max speed at home is 25 megabit so an internet speed test on the phones won't help me much since the G3 is still over 25.
[Verizon LG G3] muiriddin:
Is your access point configured to run both 2.4ghz and 5ghz on the same access point name? If so is one phone managing to grab the 5ghz and the other for some reason is preferring 2.4?

I typically separate these two frequencies and run them as separate networks because of problems I have had running an access point in "shared dual mode". Specifically with certain soc's seeming to prefer 2.4ghz (which often runs slower) for some reason. The problem doesn't occur when I specifically tell it to use the 5ghz access point name instead.
[Verizon LG G3] bworley50:
I'm having this issue as well
[Verizon LG G3] b0bj0e:
In Wi-Fi settings, do you have "Battery saving for Wi-Fi" checked? This may tell the radio to lower its power output based on how much network throughout is needed. Try checking the link speed while transferring a large file. Also, you want this feature turned on; it will increase the life span of the radio.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
I checked this afternoon with WiFi Analyzer from farproc, the G3 compared to my lady's G2.

Against my Netgear R7000 Nighthawk router, the results at different locations within my plaster-walled home were very similar, with maybe a few dB less at distance on the G2 at 2.4 ghz.

At 5 ghz, as I got further from the router, the G2 started to drop signal strength much earlier, up to 10dB worse at the far corner of the house.

Both phones were held in hand and measured by the same software at the same time. The orientation of each phone was varied during the testing as well.

I did have WiFi power saving enabled, but that was on the G3.
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
Yes, that is on. (it took me awhile to find it as it's in the overflow menu).

I'll do some more tests without it just to see what happens but ultimately leave it on.

Thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
Yeah both 2.4 and 5ghz but I have different SSID's for each one.

I've been told that your devices should connect to whichever one is the strongest if you name them the same but I've often found that not to be the case so I always set them up as different names.
[Verizon LG G3] DigitalMD:
speed is all the really matters,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] uniroot:
New member here. Bear with me, please, for possible n00b questions.

I'm not new to rooting & ROM'ing. I've been rooting and ROM'ing for years, but I haven't done much in a while due to excessive work schedule and family obligations. But I'm looking to get back into it.

I've had my VZW S4 for about 9 months. I'm rooted, but running stock ROM.

Phone: i545

Android: 4.2.2

Baseband: I545VRUAME7

Kernal: 3.4.0-690088

Build Number: ...ME7

As I said, I've got lots of experience with rooting and ROMs. I flashed my prior phone easily over 100x experimenting with different ROMs. But since I'm going from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2, I think I better ask regarding my strategy to be sure I don't end up with a brick.

My general plan is to: update my phone to 4.4.2 via OTA update, root, flash recovery, then experiment with various ROMs. Specifically, these are the steps I'm setup to follow:

Back up everything (App's, contacts, bookmarks, SMS, etc.) via Titanium -- actually, I've already done this

Perform factory reset in its current state (4.2.2)

Accept OTA 4.4.2 upgrade from VZW ==> I assume this will revert phone back to UNroot status??

Re-root via Towelroot

Download SuperSU

(Remove KNOX??)

Install recovery

Install ROM

Questions:

I've read about Samsung KNOX. If KNOX is "triggered", Samsung won't honor the warranty. But I don't care about the warranty at this point, so is the whole KNOX thing a moot point for me?

Anything else I should be aware of? Any experienced users of S4 that see an obvious gap in the above plan, I would be much appreciated in hearing your advice.

For what it's worth, I've been studying the following YouTube video for what lies ahead.

"CyanogenMod 11 (CM11) on the Samsung Galaxy S4! (Install, Setup, First Look, and etc)"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zombolt:
1. DO NOT TAKE THE OTA

2. read the forums regarding what your options for recovery. Don't try to flash cyanogenmod or you'll end up with a brick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] uniroot:
I've been researching this for a couple of days, and obviously I'm missing some details.

Why not take the OTA for 4.4.x? What am I missing? What's the issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] uniroot:
Doing some more research this morning...

When you say: "read the forums regarding what your options for recovery. Don't try to flash cyanogenmod or you'll end up with a brick."

I read from another post: loki allows you to install whatever you want, not just Touchwiz-based ROMs. If you want to install CM, you've got to use Loki.

So I need to perform the loki hack first, right? If I install CM without the loki hack, I will brick my phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Loki only works on MDK, the firmware version before me7. everything after MDK can only run safestrap. Can't downgrade.

You can use the OTA but it will fail if your system is modified at all. If you know all modifications you've done and can remove them, go ahead. If not, use the NC5 tar file in Odin to upgrade.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] uniroot:
Excellent, thank you for providing this info! I'll look into Odin.

For clarification...I have performed certain "modifications" since I've owned the phone. If I perform a factory reset on it in its current state, does that not remove/reset

all

of the mods I've done??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
It should, but not always. Also you have to use the unroot from the supersu app.

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

Oh and the tar files are here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735172

I recommend using Odin 3.09
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] uniroot:
You're saying I will need to un-root prior to performing the NC5 Odin?

Do I need to worry about changing/updating my old ME7 build before the NC5 Odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
No, you only need the unroot if you try the OTA. Nothing else needs to be done to use the tar file with Odin, but I would recommend backing up important data to an external SD and flashing the full wipe file to ensure you have a clean system.

Latest OTA "patches" TowelRoot

I've read recently I've read that the OTA will fix the vulnerability that TowelRoot exploits to gain root. But most if not all of the articles were specific to the S5. It is possible that taking the OTA will patch the same vulnerability and remove root again. It's been a long time since I've had to work this hard to root/ROM anything...so I'm not sure if I'm correct or not, but it's something to consider before taking the OTA...if you haven't already.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Towelroot works on NC5, the latest OTA for this device. Towelroot came well after the OTA. If we get another firmware update, I'm sure it will patch towelroot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny_chimpo:

Is model SM-G900V the correct model number for the model that Verizon supplies to it's customers for USA use?

If I update the GS5 to the latest software will towelroot still root the phone and will the paid Foxfi wifi tether app still work?

While Verizon is CDMA, all the 4G phones are sim-unlocked meaning they support GSM frequencies

Yes

There are multiple methods of updating while still being able to root and tether.

Two of my favorite games on PDA devices of all time were Slay, and Hex Wars.

I took a very quick look at Wargus, but the thing seemed quite slow, and the mouse cursor was out of alignment which I found irritating.

Simple games like Slay, and on the Palm, a game called Hex Wars were fantastic, and very involving, even though they were very simple. I like games that you can stop and start when you have a few minutes to kill. Realtime strategy games require more time to devote to them, so I never end up getting into them anymore.

So, what is good for a VGA display? Are there any turn based games anymore?

Heh i found SPB AirIslands real fun. Although its not really strategy and its QVGA. VGA I am going to try Slay as you say Alan. Also would you know of any other games? Age of Empires? Warcraft 3 lol i wonder if they make that for ppc. Slay sounds really like a brutal game. anyone know of GunBound? How about that really old school game WOLF 3D? Any car racing games like NFSCarbon. Wait now that i think of it my PSP has NFS Carbon. Maybe if we could install a game in the SD card and emulate it? Emulators anyone? I will donate the games if the emulator is ready.

Also has anyone tried mcafee antivirus on their ppc? I am wondering myself as to which antivirus should i choose. So far I havent had any problems on my ppc related to virus.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kelford:
There is a VGA version of SPB AirIslands. They offer both at their website.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
Is the island bigger in VGA mode. I find that everything is really cramped up in QVGA mode. I finished the game in 25 airisland days and i got freecell copy free. But it asked me if i want to continue with current island or make another island and i chose to make another island. How can i go back to the island i already finished? Is it gone deleted?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kelford:
I only have the VGA version so I can't really tell you how it compares to the QVGA one. And unfortunately I haven't had it very long myself so I'm still on my first island and can't answer the other question either. It's always kind of looked like each island is one "play" of the game, so I was expecting to just move on from one to another. That's just my impression though since I haven't gotten to that point yet. They do have a website for the game itself (http://www.spbairislands.com/) that has a forum too, so maybe the answer can be found there.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
I like games like SPB AirIslands and Age of empires Warcraft 3 WoW etc. I also prefer first person shooter games and tactical warfare. heh right now i only have Arkball 2 installed on my ppc. Its really fun, just keep going and see how far you can go.

Hi,

I have Age of Empires on my M5000 - It hasnt and probably wont be updated in a long time so isnt really WM5 compatible, however it runs fine with the only issue being memory leaks. It pays to save regularly as as some point during a long session the game may freeze due to lack of memory.

Warring Nations has a VGA version and is a very good turn based strategy game with additional maps available to download.

Favourites for me are Bejeweled2, Gamebox Solitaire, Sim City 2000, Pocket Sudoku, Jewel Hunter, Raging Thunder, Shanghai (Landware's) SkyForce, Skyforce Reloaded and Zuma.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Menneisyys:
