It's all about interpretation. And it's not true.

TCM11 was just an example, that it's not necessary to use the newest HAL. I know display-legacy isn't for M2, I'm not such a noob.

I can compile TWRP when I got time. Now I'm in the proces of moving to another city. In my personal opinion CWM is better because it's more popular. Also CWM is default recovery in CM.

I send you an invitation to github.M2Dev project

btw, now in TamsuiCM11 we have new CAF ION kernel so things are not that legacy as were before ;) Display-caf as default now.
[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
[MENTION=5067035]lozohcum[/MENTION]

Yep, we could use standard CM display for the start.

EDIT: Just checked M2Dev kernel patched by dvm86. It should do fine with caf-new, as he patched in up.

And IMO, TWRP is growing fast. Eating CWM.

BTW, Pico is also using display-caf now. Almost stock repo (only PMEM ADSP patch).
[Sony Xperia M2] lozohcum:
Do you know maybe dvm86? I don't know from where this kernel came from, not at all.

I'm updating device configuration.

Both recoveries can be made, CWM and TWRP.

There is an interesting thing. One person noticed that WiFi doesn't work on kernel compiled from Sony official source. Will investigate it.

btw, I was watching your Pico source ;p
[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
[MENTION=5067035]lozohcum[/MENTION], In your signature you it says LTE, same as here.

Not sure how much B (Dual sim) repo, merged in dvm84 differs from SS LTE model.

About WiFi, Sony's Prima module is always a pain in the ass. We'll sort that out eventually.

Also not sure in what state is dvm84 device tree. I'd suggest a rebase on T2 Ultra device tree.

Only thing broken is camera photo taking.
[Sony Xperia M2] lozohcum:
Yes it is good thing to rebase from T2. I can try to do that tomorrow but can't predict if I'll be still alive.

Generally I suggest to make D2303 (LTE) and then add dual-sim funcitonality. It may be just different blobs to use.

Typical SS doesn't have LTE.

Changed my mind. I gonna rebase device tree now.

40% done
[Sony Xperia M2] lozohcum:
I got relply from Sony Developers (they answered my previous email now)
[Sony Xperia M2] Garcia98:
Good, good :)

BTW, why not to use non-CAF variants (for display, media and audio) for first builds?
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
They also replied me, but it's a little different answer, check the photo ?
[Sony Xperia M2] lozohcum:
The same:

that's actually very good news

let the hacking begin!

BTW T2 Ultra is very similar, patches you may need are probably in my kernel
[Sony Xperia M2] macabrocabral:
I saw you guys are working on M2, but D2303 model, does it differ much from D2306? I see both is LTE, the only thing is the bands that it works? Can we integrate both bands so we can work with 1 type of ROM or something like that? Sorry for being noob ):
[Sony Xperia M2] Garcia98:
YAY!
[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
Note: Uploaded on Github organization https://github.com/M2Dev/kernel
[Sony Xperia M2] lozohcum:
Yeah finally!

You can expect custom kernel with CWM and other awesome fetures by the end of this week I think.

And [MENTION=4193352]adfad666[/MENTION] can I ask one thing? Will this kernel source cause WiFi problems? (probably sth with pronto module)

Because when I compiled kernel for 4.3 people said WiFi doesn't work on it.

Hi I wondered if anyone could tell me of an alternative to xhalo flashing Windows that doesn't need xposed any advise would be appreciated thanks

I believe there are apps on the play store similar to halo. Not sure if Xposed is involved, but I don't think so.

[AT&T LG G2] DaOldGrandpa:
Alright, so I'll start from the beginning here. I started with CloudyStock ROM (basically the stock LG ROM with some added stuff). Then I went to Cyanogenmod and my data went away. Everything else worked but just my data didn't work at all. So I restored from my backup only to realize that now my texting is gone. I can receive texts and make and receive calls, I just can't send texts. SO..I tried a new ROM after that. I installed Mahdi only to get the same results. No texting. I do delete the data and everything I'm supposed to when installing ROMs also. So when that didn't work, today I used the LG Flash Tool to restore to factory firmware. I thought for sure this would fix the problem but nope. Still no texting. At this point I'm wondering if it's hardware failure but I'm still doubting somewhat because if I'm correct, it's the same chip in the phone that sends texts and receives. Anyway, please someone help me out! Thanks in advance!
[AT&T LG G2] DaOldGrandpa:
I called AT&T and they fixed the problem. It was all their fault.
[AT&T LG G2] DaOldGrandpa:
So I've sort of put up with some minor issues since AT&T fixed my problem. I still can't text from the hangouts app. Only the stock app will send texts. I tried installing a custom ROM again and there was absolutely no texting so I returned to stock again. Can anyone tell me what could be wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] btort1:
Ok so I know our at&t bootloader is locked so we can only install touchwiz based roms onto our S5.

How much faster are the custom roms than the stock rom? I aalready have safestrap installed but before reinstalling everything I want to know if theres a big difference in terms of the "touchwiz" lag.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alonhzn:
This is a real mystery, The phone (thl 5000 4.4.2) is suddenly PIN locked even though i never used a pin lock.

the phone is able to receive phone calls - so i know it's working perfectly

I didn't have anything important on it so i went into recovery and did a wipe (cache, dalvik) + factory reset. That didn't help

I decided to flash stock ROM (thl.5000.007D.20140830.KK.FHD.EN.COM.16P128_MT6592T_V1.0.8 – KOT49H) using flashtool - Again, didn't solve the lock!

I decided to install a custom ROM (Rom V10 Bshuy2003) using TWRP - Again, didn't solve the problem (very nice looking boot process though :) )

Is there anything "STRONGER" than flashing a new ROM and factory reset?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Armes:
I thought, after spending a couple of days wrestling with this issue, that others might find it useful. If I've posted it in the wrong place, then I'm sure Admin will correct it.

I recently sold my XDA 2, which had TomTom Nav 5 running on it with no problems. When I tried to install TT5 on my new Tytn using my laptop I got a "Windows has experienced a problem and needs to close" error. I Emailed TT who, unhelpfully, said TT5 is not compatible with that phone yet, sorry.

I started to explore other ways around the problem and, after connecting to the Tytn using Activsync and going to Add/Remove programs, clicked on TomTom and Activsync installed the backup on my laptop. It fired up fine, Great!! I thought, except there were no working voices. I then found a piece of software on TomTom's site called TomTom Home and used that to install the missing voices, except - despite the software saying they were installed - they still didn't work. In desperation, I copied the voice Files (there are 3 for each language) onto my memory card and then installed it in the Tytn. I then used the Tytn file explorer to find them, clicked on the Cab file and it self-installed. I then opened TT5 and - everything works! Technically, I'm not sure how I got here, but I'm happy with the result. Hope this helps you too.

[AT&T LG G3] artbybart:
I'm curious as to anybody tried running Xblast Tools and whether it works on the G3 or not? I already have Xposed Framework installed with G3 Tweaksbox and Greenify modules.

Thanks!
[AT&T LG G3] artbybart:
Well, I went ahead and purchased the app and unfortunately it doesn't do too well, so it's not for the G3 yet. I didn't mind supporting the developer for his work even though, I won't get to use it.

I would instead recommend purchasing G3 Tweaksbox and getting the full version.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] amaury48:
Is this the bad news????

What is .qmg file?

File type specification:

The QMG file extension is associated with the Samsung Theme Designer used to create customized themes for Samsung mobile phones.

QMG file format is called qmage and its made by quramsoft. It is a proprietary format.

The encoding tool, decoder library are also proprietary.

The QMG file contains picture image (graphics) that can be used as a wallpaper, icon, button or other graphics elements.

Samsung Theme Designer will imports QMG picture images to Samsung theme file with .smt file extension.

Im new to the s5 community. Coming from the RAZR. Instructions on how to flash the odex? Are we able to flash through safestrap or do we have to use odin?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Then they've finally done it. If this is their new standard across the board for 4.4.4+, then they've officially alienated the last remaining presence of Android modders on their devices. Suck it, S#!%sung. Wow.. Don't know what to say...

IMO, this is more irritating than having a locked bootloader. We were at least able to make the daggum thing look nicer.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BeansTown106:
ya.. although we can probably replace with qmg's from previous bases.. it still sucks because we dont know what were actually replacing because we cant decode the images..

my buddy has the samsung theme engine and the qmage library file both apart in IDA trying to see if we can make a decompiler..

funny thing is they even added checks into both of those, we had to remove checks via hex editing.. before they would even load in ida

on sorta topic... That moto x looks pretty nice right now lmao
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jetsman:
Ok so I'm on ne9 extreme syndicate. Do I just Odin the tar file for nl2 plus the firmware or can I just flash this directly
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BeansTown106:
flash in safestrap and then reboot to download mode and flash the NI2 firmware only package via odin
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BeansTown106:
flash this and then odin just the ni2 firmware only tar in my tar collection thread. that is the easiest way to get there
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jetsman:
Nice thanks beans
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
If copying pngs from older bases does work, the fact that we have to go that extra mile just to change a green check mark to a while check mark is pure ludicrous.

If you succeed in making a decompiler let me know :good: I'm no themer, but I like to add a few accent marks or touches here and there to add a little contrast.

And yes, the moto x is looking mighty nice right about now. And to think Verizon is going to carry it: source. They're usually not in the habit of carrying devices with a real Android experience.

Download the ROM zip to your device, download the firmware TAR to your computer.

1. Flash ROM zip via safestrap

2. Reboot directly to download mode via safestrap reboot menu

3. Flash firmware TAR via ODIN

Reboot :good:

Did you update it on My Verizon? You can do it on the website or the app. Once you enable it on your account and reboot your phone afterward, it should work. Tested out Video calling over LTE last night. Finally have our own built in version of Face Time. Took them long enough.

Install procedure on Dev Ed?

I apologize in advance to all those 'in the know'. I really am trying to grasp the process in basic terms I can understand to avoid bricking or locking my device. I've read and read, and read some more but am just not grasping the basics.

My S5 is running the NGC Build. I rooted, installed TWRP, and flashed the NI2 modem and ktoonsez 10.07.2014 kernel. So...

Can I copy the Odexed file I downloaded in the original post (kltevzw_RootOdex_NI2.zip) to my extSDcard, along with the ktoonsez kernel (I had previously flashed from TWRP)?

Then boot into TWRP, and do the full wipes (factory reset).

Next, "Install" the RootOdex_NI2 zip file listed above. (Since the updater-scripts for the ROM and kernel indicate the same file, boot.img, when installing the kernel to the same location, I assume...)

The last step is to "Install" the ktoonsez kernel to overwrite the stock kernel installed in the previous step.

Then reboot.

Appreciate if someone can verify I am on the right track. I'm confused by not being familiar with the basic terms (firmware, full tar, etc.) stated in the bold warning in the OP.

Thanks in advance, and apologize for my confusion.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kuronosan:
The important question is what phone you're using. If the answer is developer, then you would avoid flashing the bootloader. If the answer is retail, then the question is how you flashed a kernel without bricking.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] osurferx:
I'm assuming that you have the Verizon Dev edition?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AKMacAddict:
Yes, this is the Verizon Developer Edition, running the 4.4.2 NGC build. I need to upgrade to NHA (or preferably NI2) to be able to utilize VoLTE which is required for the new Verizon system here in Alaska.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JAYNO20:
Last I heard we were waiting for something to be released from Samsung in order for the Dev Edition users to be able to update to the most recent rom (which includes support for voLTE). Unless that happened already, I don't think you can update yet without locking the bootloader.
