Thanks, I was looking to use either of these. I've had issues with ROMs so far because I'm on Virgin Mobile and lots of stuff is buggy. Not sure which of these will work best:

I'm not normally confused by rooting/flashing, but I don't understand the whole "safe recovery" thing.

I'm currently on this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2540250
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
I see. Im not too familiar with what works with virgin mobile.

But if you can flash a virgin modem and set your apns after a flash.. That will get your data working. I'm at work.. But let me refewsh my memory later about virgin mobile on this device and I'll hit ya back.

Fyi.. I think jdsingle made a virgin mobile rom a while back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] InfamousMyzt:
Thanks, I looked for jdsingle and only found posts for 3D Evo I believe; no activity since 2011?

It was made for JB but it's a start
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] InfamousMyzt:
Yeah, I tried that one, it continually crashed my launcher every 3 seconds, had to reflash the ROM. It did give me the voicemail apk I needed though! Really if I could just get flash instructions for going from one rom to another, I'd be set probably.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
Have you tried applying the changes and setting permissions in the zip manually, like with Root Explorer?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] InfamousMyzt:
No, I'm honestly not sure how to do that. Linux's file structure is confusing to me. Granted I'm also having wifi problems on this rom too, it disconnects all the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
It honestly isn't too difficult at all. All I see in the zip is a new apns-conf.xml (permissions are rw-r-r), 2 build.prop edits, and the deleting of telephony.db located in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] InfamousMyzt:
Yeah, I'm just not sure where the files go. All in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony?

Also can I use philz touch recovery for my phone or do I need to use the AGATS recovery for vmub?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
Before I go any further, have you tried this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29284450
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] InfamousMyzt:
I have not. I'll try it out, but will it fix the wifi disconnect issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
I don't know for sure... I'm not even on virgin. I'm flashed to cricket and the issues (data/MMS) I face are very similar, if not identical.

That sounds like a rom issue. I'm on 4.2.2 and have everything working 100% and the rom is really stable
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] InfamousMyzt:
I need to flash a new ROM tonight since I have work tomorrow. Which recovery should I use? agats or philz? Does it matter? And do I need a different kernel for liquidsmooth?

EDIT: I flashed vanir, and flashing my modem failed with status 6, however it worked anyways. Ran the mms fix suggested and everything seems to be working just fine. Making a nandroid backup after I finish my settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
The status 6 or 7 errors are usually caused from using a recovery not up todate enough.

As for the kernel question. All roms you flash on this device and pretty much all others will have a kernel in the zip package. On this particular device, you also have a recovery with the kernel, as they are tied together. You really just need to make sure its a safe recovery for flashing. Most newer roms have a good recovery with the kernel.

Fyi..i always liked vanir. I used it quite often when i still had this device. Also remember..what recovery you used to make your nand..you must use the same recovery for the restore. I myself am a twrp user.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] InfamousMyzt:
TWRP? Also is there a list somewhere of which recoveries are safe/unsafe?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Almost all newer recoveries are safe to flash from.. Its more a question of will the flash take.. Or will it boot loop. That is why I always used mobile odin and then flash from the el29 directboot kernel. Unless I was flashing kitkat. Then u need the latest recovery and just flash recovery in current recovery and reboot recovery. This info is all available if you would only do the reading. I'm not flaming.. But you need to read up on this stuff or you could bork your device.

Fyi.. Twrp ( Team Win Recovery Project )
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] InfamousMyzt:
I read quite a lot, but everything I found was before kitkat and it all just told me to flash using EL26 lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Lol..i understand that..and back before kitkat and some jb builds, it was necessary to use the el26 or el29 direct boot kernels. Now there are some updated kernel/recoveries for flashing kitkat.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] InfamousMyzt:
Custom ROMs and android development are great and all, but it's unfortunately very poorly documented. Even most ROM developers have the worst "install instructions" I've ever seen. Side effect of open source, I guess, I had the same problem trying to learn linux. Eventually gave up on it due to difficulties finding information.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Im not sure i agree. When i started in xda, a year ago. I knew next to nothing about android or linux. Now i have rooted and customized every device i have come in contact with..lol. and windows is a thing of the past for me… i strictly use linux mint, or sometimes fedora.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] InfamousMyzt:
I only use Windows, I'm a gamer before anything else. Gaming is pretty much my entire life.

Looks like I still have WiFi issues on this ROM though. I connect and it works fine for a few hours then it won't connect to anything unless I toggle wifi.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
I believe that is most likely caused because you are on virgin, correct?

But it could also be a rom issue with the latest build. Have you read the entire op? I usually start by reading the last 5 or 10 pages… then i read the entire thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] InfamousMyzt:
Whole thread? Wow. I usually read the last 2-3 pages, didn't see anything, and I did a search for wifi and didn't find anyone with the same issue. It's probably a virgin mobile thing, I think most devs use sprint. :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
Gil just meant the op, or opening post(s) of the thread. But I seriously doubt your WiFi issue has anything to do with the fact that you're on virgin mobile.

Did you have any issues when you were on stock firmware?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] InfamousMyzt:
Nope, worked great on JB stock. I think it worked on ICS too, but I was only on ICS for a week.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
I don't know man, might just be a ROM issue then
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nforsans:
Hope you can help me again.

I tried to upgrade the Intent Midlet to the latest version as per another post on this forum, but when I run the cab and install the soft on the device I get the following error:

"Installation was unsuccessful. The program cannot be installed because you do not have sufficient system permission".

What should I do to get these rights? basically, it is a case of replacing a programme in the rom by an updated version of the same programme, but for some reason I am denied writing rights in the rom. Is that correct? Is there anything i can do to get round that?

I am using TMobile UK's original rom 1.21.110.3 and I upgraded the radio to 1.16

Others on other networks have been able to upgrade the intent.

Thanks

Hi,

I currently own a Pebble Smartwatch along with a Galaxy Note 3 and I was considering buying a Gear 2. I have very little info about the apps of the Gear 2 and I would like to know if there are equivalents for the apps I use the most in my Pebble:

- Foursquare (a way to do checkin from the watch)

- Evernote (access to the list, very handy when shopping)

Also I would like to know if there is any Forex app for the Gear 2. Is there any limit for the number of apps to be installed (in the Pebble you can only install 8 and it is quite annoying)?

What are your favorite apps for the Gear 2?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Cheers.
[Samsung Gear 2] delcopa:
Foursquare there is an app called fithsquare that works great on the gear.

Evernote was an app in the original gear. So should be ported over soon for the gear 2.

Not sure what forex is. No right bite I have 14 apps plus all the stock ones. Not sure if there is a limit but I haven't run into any.

Favorite apps: simple Calc, ebay, glypse, qr reader, instant settings, gear alarm, fithsquare, smart ir remote, gear2cam, atooma, car finder, talking Goggles, wearable widgets, flesky messenger.

They are the ones I have installed. I have 5 shortcuts on the main screens for the ones I use most.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] smrodek11:
Hello, there is a problem with Xperia S (some models have it, other doesn't). My Xperia lags when is in horizontal mode (for example in Settings), i feel fps drops much, same problem is with HDMI. This problem is on every rom i used. I can't try to flash other kernels, because of "Unlock bootloader available: No"

Is there any way to resolve that lag problem, with just root and some tweaks?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TakamineSubasa:
i've posted the same question not long ago, and theres absolutely no way to fix this without changing kernel thus having to unlock bootloader is the only way to go...

[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
This is awesome, I've built a launcher before but never finished it.

Any chance you know the following -

How can I use an intent to launch an app I want? Then save it so when I press the button the next time instead of asking me which app to launch, it'll auto launch the app I chose before.

Basically like a App Chooser.

You press the button, a pop up appears, you select the app and choose save. Then when you press the button again you will automatically open the app you saved. Subscribing to this thread :)

Thanks bro.

Since it is on front XDA page i guess it is great tutorial (didn't watch yet, don't have time for this now). But is it possible to create iOS launcher like, only with application grid and no workspaces?
[Android Apps and Games] coal686:
MIUI ROMs use a launcher like that so I guess it's possible. You'd have to get comfortable with this tutorial first and then work on mimicing it (or you could find the launcher from MIUI and decompile it to see how it works).
[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
Yes it is, instead of having two separate activities. (Home screen) and (Drawer). You can merge the two activities together. So yeah you can.

[Android Apps and Games] sylsau:
Hello,

For which kind of intent do you make that ?

Sylvain
[Android Apps and Games] sylsau:
Hello,

Like said by coal686, you can make what you want. Launcher created during tutorial is the base for a custom launcher. With that base created, then you can imagine all the improvements for your launcher.

[General Topics] A-Alzayani:
Since 2010 and every few months there is a new smartphone display resolution, and with it come the discussions of the usefulness of these extra pixels, the law of diminishing returns, whether the human eye can tell the difference, and the impact in the GPU and battery life.

Phone makers keep pushing the resolution more and more, and to be a honest i am huge advocate of increasing the resolution.

But now since we reached 500+ ppi and QHD resolution, do you think this is the last upgrade or are we going to see 1800 x 3200 resolution in a smartphone in 2015/2016, maybe even 4K by 2018.

To be honest, the idea of 4K phone display is tempting, and in a 5" phone, that's will give you 881 PPI, that's about 3 times of the pixel density of what claimed to be the limit of the human eye for a device held 10 to 12 inches from the eye ).

For me personally i doubt that the 300 PPI is the human eye limit (for a device held 10 to 12 inches from the eye), as -many before- me pointed out, and as long as i can tell the difference (i am able to tell 1080p from 720p , and also 1440p from 1080p) i am all for it.

What do you guys think the industry is going, is the resolution war will continue, or is QHD is the last upgrade at least for a while.

Display resolution milestones in smartphones (please correct me if i have made any mistakes):

2004: 320x320=~0.1MP	(Palm Treo 650)

2005: 640x480=~0.3MP	(O2 XDA Exec a.k.a Qtek 9000 , i-mate JASJAR and T-Mobile MDA IV)

2007: 480x800=~0.4MP	(Toshiba Portege G900)

2010: 640x960=~0.6MP	(Apple iPhone 4)

2011: 800x1280=~1MP	(Galaxy Note)

2012: 1080x1920=~2MP	(HTC DROID DNA)

2014: 1440x2560=~3.7MP	(Oppo Find 7)

Pixel density milestones in smartphones (please correct me if i have made any mistakes):

2007: 300+ ppi (Toshiba Portege G900)

Manufacturers need to stop worrying about resolution and bragging about numbers, and focus more on color reproduction, brightness, efficiency, etc. Sony's getting it right (allegedly - we'll see) with the Z3. Bright, accurate, and efficient.
[General Topics] methuselah:
it will never stop as per me

i work as animator and if you ask me. this development of getting bigger sizes will never stop. qhd, amoled , UHD they all are the return of lakhs hour of work by the scientists. inventions are always going to come. what you asked is something like " did write brothers ever imagoned that the technology they develop that time will ever cross the speed of sound", that time it seems impossible. well here is the same concept . you don't know what will happen in future. development pace is so rapid today. nobody knows what tomorrow hold. now everything seems possible and this hunger for getting higher screen resolutions will never stop. clarity is going to clear. The human eye can see 7,000,000 colors. Some of these are eyesores. Certain colors and color relationships can be eye irritants, cause headaches, and wreak havoc with human vision. Other colors and color combinations are soothing.so its basically how far scientists can see. so this war will keep on continue forever. it will never going to stop.. the human thrust will always keep on for pushing themselves to infinity.
[General Topics] mojito13:
This so much. It extends to more than just phones. Megapixels, resolution, all that stuff. Bragging bigger numbers doesn't mean jack if the camera quality is crap and can't capture an image faithfully. Sick of seeing crap about 4k and 60fps and all that. Numbers make not a better camera.
[General Topics] dyczone:
Today's QHD is tomorrow's 360p. Resolution increments will not stop for a while.

But I agree with [MENTION=5749364]Planterz[/MENTION], we need to focus on image and screen quality. Brightness, color reproduction, etc. are soo important. But it's hard to sell that to the general public when everyone else is selling numbers. Especially for Android where there's so much fragmentation and competition. The baseline for judging at this point is essentially specs.

Hi mates.

I've a rooted Note 3 with GeoHot exploit (towel root), with a lot of stuffs installed on (such as xposed).

So, my question is: what i have to do with OTAs I receive? Should I deny the installation or can confirm them without troubles? Will the root keep on my phone?

Maybe these questions are trivial :eek:, but i'm new with these things :o.

Thank you so much
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkztar1:
Updating via ota will result in a loss of root permission.

If you want to stay rooted, I recommend mobile odin pro + full update of lastest firmware. Mobile odin got the "everroot" feature, which will inject su.

This method will not void your warranty, if knox is flagged as 0x0 it will remain at 0x0.

Once you have rooted, you cannot update via OTA but you still can download the stock firmware for your device and flash it using Odin or Kies.

To obtain the latest stock firmware for your device, install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser'.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chlemaire:
Hello to all,

I have a motorola G, 1st gen. XT1032. Android 4.4.4

I don't succeed in flashing the original french firmware. I get the following message : preflash validation failed.

I tell you a little bit more about my mistakes:

1) After having installed superuser, I wanted to flash the original stock because the super su didn't install properly (super user found. No acess)

2) I installed the CWM recovery in my phone, but it didn't appear in the recovery menu. After that the recovery menu was not working anymore

3) I flashed the wrong firmware: Android 4.4.4 Blur_Version.210.12.41.falcon_cdma.Verizon.en.US instead of the french one. I flashed with this method :

mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin

mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

mfastboot flash logo logo.bin

mfastboot flash boot boot.img

mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3

mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

mfastboot erase modemst1

mfastboot erase modemst2

mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

mfastboot erase cache

mfastboot erase userdata

mfastboot reboot

But as I didn't put mfastboot in the firware file, it was impossible for me to type mfastboot at each line of code. So I typed fastboot instead of mfastboot. It said Okay at the end of each line. At the end, the phone rebooted

But it rebooted as a boot loop showing the white motorola G unlocked sentence.

I can still access to the fastboot mode and the recovery mode after that

Finally, I tried to install the french firmware :Android 4.4.2 Blur_Version.176.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.FR

with RSD lite but the device was not recognized.

Though, I downloaded the SDK android and the motorola drivers.

I retried to install the french firmware with the mfastboot method but at the first line of code ( mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin) it says PRE FLASH VALIDATION FAILED.

Can someone help me please.

Thankyou
