Hi I am using the T-mobile Rom that came with my device. Now I want to try som of the newe AKUs. I already did backup my PIM-Data with Outlook now I want to backup all my sms messages before I try a new ROM. Any suggestions?

THX 4 your help
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] nuclear:
Activesync backup or use SPB backup? Those two i believe backup everything on your Universal. I never backup my contacts, everytime i do a ROM upgrade i see my contacts again, the only thing i dont see is the data! always erased.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AlanJC:
Backing up, and restoring data from a previous ROM is usually a bad idea.

This will let you use SMS from your device in Outlook, and backup what's on the device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaumerS4:
So my car allows me to connect my phone via bluetooth to the stereo to make phone calls, but does not allow me to connect media audio (Pandora, YouTube, etc), which I believe is called A2DP. There are some aftermarket kits available to wire in a new receiver in place of the CD changer, but then that co-opts the other bluetooth for phone, which I can control via steering wheel and such.

I was wondering if it is at all possible for an app to stream audio output as if it was a phone call? Is anyone aware of an app that does this or some way to possibly hack it?
[Micromax A110] Cyclonedx:
Hey guys, just rooted my Canvas 2 A110. I am running JB 4.1.1 and Im searching for a new ROM that will boost my phone performance as it has become very slow and laggy despite removing most apps and refreshing the RAM often. Can you recommend some ROMS and apps that will improve my phone performance? Im also looking for a nice UI/theme and tutorials to accomplish these things. Thank you.

Also why are all the good ROMs for 4.2.2? How can I upgrade my phone from 4.1.1 to 4.2.2?
[Micromax A110] dewri21:
you're on 4.1, so if you wanna use 4.2.x roms, you'll have to flash a 4.2.x kernel and then the desired 4.2.x rom. bindassboost kernel would do. for lag free ui, you could use the ultimatenexus or rivals or mere rom (there are much more lag free roms)

and for android L themed UI, you could use kitkatian v3 or skykisser.

there are roms like miui, vibe, zener where you'll get different ui. :good:

Hi,

To enter Download Mode, please follow this:

- Power Off the Tablet

Good luck.

About this guide

This is a quick and easy guide to get rid of the ROOTED status in download mode on G2 devices.

By doing this, you will return to the factory look of download mode with it showing UNROOTED.

Special Note

I have only tested this on my LG-D802. I do NOT know if this works on other G2 devices.

Therefore, please report back whether it works for you so I can add your device to the OP.

Requirements

LG USB Drivers (Easy to find & install - Google is your friend)

Your G2 must be rooted to use this.

USB Debugging must be enabled in Developers Options.

A software to extract the attached .zip file.

Notepad++

Instructions

Connect your G2 to your PC using MTP. At this point, USB debugging is not necessary. If phone is not recognized, then install/reinstall USB drivers.

Now head into PC - right click on your phone and hit properties. Copy this line as shown in this screenshot:

Download the attached .zip and extract the content to anywhere you like.

Open rct.cfg using Notepad++. Now delete SERIAL because here you shall paste the serial number of your phone which you copied earlier.

You must now enable USB Debugging in Developers Options. It does not matter if you had it enabled earlier or not.

Cant find Developers Options? Enter Settings - General - About Phone - Software Information - hit buildnumber 7 times and go back to Settings menu.

Open the file named install from the extracted .zip and give it root access on your phone.

Done. Download mode will now show UNROOTED.

OPTIONAL: You can now flash KDZ/TOT file if you want to fully return to stock. The status in download mode will remain unrooted after flashing a stock firmware.

[Asus ZenWatch] brianhill1980:
Does anyone know when this watch is going to be released? I read somewhere that it might get released at the end of September, but on here it's showing November 2014.
[Asus ZenWatch] Drakonas:
It depends if you mean the US or Europe. Based on this video taken by CNET France, it looks like it's set for early to mid December, but the video said nothing about differing prices overseas, so based on the fact that most watches are being globally released at the same time, it's safe to assume that the date in the video is for both regions.

Also, the video lists the complete specifications which were on display. (Link to specific time here).

Apparently it has a 369 mAh battery. Not the top of the line, but not nearly the lowest, either. considering it has an AMOLED display, the battery life will be severely determined by how much of the screen is covered with completely black pixels. A proper watch face theme to compliment this will greatly increase battery life, as AMOLED means that all black pixels are actually not being powered. The results in the dark are also quite stunningly delicious to look at, by the way. (I own a Moto X that has a AMOLED display. The max hours I've had it running with a set of 400+ apps installed (including system) was 41 hours.

This, of course, took a bit of tweaking with some root apps... but considering the smartwatches don't have much running on them and the feature set on them are dependent on what apps are installed on your phone, rooting will most likely never be necessary for them.
[Asus ZenWatch] brianhill1980:
I was speaking in terms of North American release date. Being that I'm in Canada, I'll probably get screwed on the launch date here, usually happens that way.
[Asus ZenWatch] Hawke84:
I heard for release date was to try before Christmas. As they have said try may end up being 2015. Hope it soon this is the one watch I'm looking forward to
[Asus ZenWatch] brianhill1980:
I have a Pebble currently, and it's really nice, love the 5-7 day battery life on it. But I want something a little classier, and for a little more than the Pebble Steel I can get this watch.

I think it's really stupid that Samsung and Apple released watches that only work with their phones. Completely cuts off a lot of potential users. Glad Asus didn't do that.

I wouldn't hold your breath – looks like only 300 are to be released and maybe only in Taiwan! :mad:

Cant post links yet, see the article on digitaltrends (maybe someone else can post the link)
[Asus ZenWatch] senectus:
only 300? where did you get that info?
[Asus ZenWatch] kanga10:
I haven't made enough posts yet to post the link to the article, but if you go to digitaltrends site and search for Zenwatch it will be the first article you find.

I don't see this as being very likely... but i bloody hope it isn't.

I find this highly unlikely. Why would they do a large public unveiling, only to make 300 devices?

I spent 3 1/2 hours today driving and calling one Best Buy after another before someone actually was helpful enough to look into it more deeply and tell me that not only did they not have it, they never received any and in fact, no Best Buy store in Southern California had received or sold any.

Went to T-Mobile and bought the Samsung Gear S.

[Asus ZenWatch] ZilverZurfarn:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
I bet your main is NOT officially 1.54.401 or 2.22.401 your phone displays that because it reads the custom rom you are running. That so called "stock rom" is not the correct stock rom for every device ! Read the OP of that thread, perform the fastboot commands and compare the main version number !

Is the main version number blank you start looking for the CID in that list !

And what do you mean with "can't install stock recovery" flash it like any other recovery. They are all img files !

After flashing the ARHD ROM, it started to have some problems with the screen as you can see from the photos attached. I'm in Turkey and since M8w is not sold in Turkey, HTC doesn't give technical support -what a shame!. They asked us to flash the original ROM to be able to help us and somehow they are sure that the problem is ROM related!

So we have to relock, S-ON and revert to stock ROM. ): Unfortunately we didn't get any backups or screenshots of the recovery/boot screen.
