[Xperia Z1 General] IgorEisberg:
Yeah, after looking into it, the camcoder profiles come from native methods found in libmedia.so and libmedia_jni.so which are device-specific and kernel-dependant. Trying to flash them on Z1 result in bootloops, not even getting to the bootanimation. So yeah, at least now we know that it's impossible.
[Xperia Z1 General] sbll:
Great! But do you think it is impossible to change the parameters of the camera sony with those of MX4? maybe replacing parts of ROM MX4?
[Xperia Z1 General] pepeo123:
i really have no knowledge about such things, so i ask you: if another manufacturer used a phone with s801 too, but the camera is a diferent module, would it be impossible to be ported too? because i remember the lg g2 4k port, they used the lg g flex to port it to g2, both have the same chipset, but they have different sensors despite both are 13Mp

i really have no idea. im not a dev, and according to IaguCool post above, it seems it is not possible.
[Xperia Z1 General] IgorEisberg:
No, you cannot port native libraries that conform to absolutely different chipsets. It has less to do with the camera module and more with the chipset and the kernel that actually knows how to treat each profile. Sony's kernel just doesn't have it. The only way is to create a custom kernel, which we cannot because, unlike Sony, Meizu doesn't share any kernel source codes.
[Xperia Z1 General] sbll:
I got it. So the only hope would be if meizu would release the source code or if produce MX4 with snap 800/801?
[Xperia Z1 General] IgorEisberg:
Hah, it's never going to happen. Chinese companies usually don't conform to GPL license. Even if they did, unlocking your bootloader just to mod the camera a little bit is not worth it.

Another feature which Z1 (and probably Z2) are missing is dual-camera mode (opening both back and front cameras simultaneously) which is why "Face in" works only on Xperia Z3. It's a kernel feature.

Install HTC Sync to get the drivers you need. You then need to uninstall HTC Sync for Moonshine to work properly. If you're on Windows 8 or 8.1 you'll need the Intel USB drivers installed on your computer.

Hi guys, a friend of mine brought me his i8200 after he screwed up with it on Kies.

Basically he told me that he was trying to flash a new ROM but he unplugged the USB cable mid process, a genius.

So i plugged it in my computer to fix it with Odin but the phone shows the screen "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies...) with the yellow danger triangle and after that it reboots. It keeps restarting itself so Odin says "device connected" then " device disconnected" continuosly.

What do?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BA_Flash_GOD:
I have the option to trade one of my NIB BAs straight up for a NIB Wizard (cingular 8125), Threw up the hermes as well to see. I'd like to hear some suggestions from you folks that have used both, or just want to pop in their two cents. Would be greatly appreciated my brothas.

Problem I have with the sx66 it's shear size and weight. I won't be using edge, or any bells and whistles just as a playtoy basically to demo. So the BA actually thinner it appears but packs on the weight?

(US Americanas)

8125===== 4.25" x 2.28" x 0.93" == 5.64 oz-wt

8525===== 4.43" x 2.28" x 0.86" == 6.1 oz-wt

sx66===== 4.92" x 2.83" x 0.75" == 7.41 oz-wt

(Rest of world :P)

8125===== 108 x 58 x 24 mm == 160 g

8525===== 113 x 58 x 22 mm == 176 g

sx66===== 125 x 71 x 18 mm == 210 g

Hopefully nobody jumps my case for this question! (if this is in the 'wrong area' to ask, then direct me to the right one please.) haha
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BA_Flash_GOD:

nvm a 'mod' can delete these posts, I got 3 hermes 8525s for demo units instead, BA way to bulky, bonus! peace
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ronh:
I've used a BA, and now are using a Wizard for over a year now.

And very honest: You cannot compare those two!

The keyboard of the wizard is sooo relaxed, not to mention the landscape mode while reading/typing.

The Wizard is still my number one, even after 15months I don't see a suitable replacement.

The only replacement I would like is the HTC Kaiser, with more speed and a build-in GPS
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kdskamal:
I have used BA and Wizard.

For relaxed reading, stay clear of BA. With its 3.5" screen, reading is a pleasure. Also, it is faster too(even with the latest WM5 ROMs)

Wizard is better as a phone. If you are a poweruser(like me :) ), you ll want to overclock it. But, even with overclocking, if you open big CHM files, read pdf files, watch movies, then, forget wizard. Get a BA for that(or if you can lug an Universal(it ll be better)? )

hope my comments help you a bit ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Whiterat:
I have both aswell (BA is up for sale).

The Blue Angel isnt bad, Unlocked, Unbranded and my own collection of Cabs in the extended rom.

Pros:

Very Good Battery Life

Nice Big Screen

Decent Sized Stylus

Nice weight

Very Slim

Good Spec (CPU)

Cons:

Crap Keyboard

Still some tiny faults in latest firware (2003)

Crap camera

Screen whine (commons fault)

Useless as a phone (button access)

I just got a wizard a week ago and I love it.

Pros:

Decent Keyboard at last!

WM5 and no bugs as yet

Much better as a phone (good size)

Good buttons

Much Better Camera

Flash Light

Cons:

Piss poor CPU (Economy comes to mind)

Bit chunky, no bigger than any current nokias,

Small stylus, easily lost.

No dedicated GPU unlike the BA which has an ATi.

Its all down to preferance really, I just like the wizard for quick easy dialing.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BA_Flash_GOD:

hey I must ask does the wizard have any lag with WM5? I expect the hermes to tear it a new one in benchmarks with the 400mhz sammy proc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ITALIANNYC:
I've had the gs5 for about two months and everything was fine. No updates to the phone or anything. Then all of a sudden for the past week, literally every call I get is choppy, breaking up, and just sounds screwed up. This only occurs on wifi calling. I attempted to update the firmware, that also did nothing. My mothers running a gs4 in my house ( my old phone ) and the wifi calling works perfectly. So it's not my wifi connection like I originally thought. I call the gs4 from the gs5 and the gs4 sounds great, and my gs5 is all messed up. I am running stock btw. Also I forgot to mention that the person on the other end of all calls sounds great and clear.

I am clueless right now because I rely on this service. Any ideas of what can help me or what can be the problem? I'm debating on getting an iPhone 6 because of this right now, something I thought I'd never do.

Thanks guys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ITALIANNYC:
And now I factory reset phone and it didn't revert back to original os that came with the phone. What's up with that? Sigh nothing helped
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] TheArtiszan:
Resetting the phone will not downgrade you back to the version that you got the phone with.

If you want to try downgrading it, you can use odin to flash an older version of software.

Try and do a speed test on both the phones while on wifi and see if there is a difference.

Maybe wifi throughput to that phone is too slow.

Either something wrong in the phone causing that or a limit on the router to that device for some reason. If QoS or filtering is on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ddarvish:
have you considered that it isnt the phone but rather your internet connection? maybe your connection is laggy (a lot of jitter) or something is eating up all the bandwidth or QOS is not setup...
[General Questions and Answers] Rotad:
I just installed a stock rom on my Nexus 5. I tried doing a factory reset, clear cache, and clear dalvik cache and flashing a smaller Gapps package. I rebooted my phone but all the original Gapps were still there. How do I properly remove Gapps and install a smaller version?
[General Questions and Answers] NOOK!E:
The way I do it is pretty simple - you just go into /system/app and delete all of the Google-related .apks. Only downside for you, though, is that root access is necessary.
[General Questions and Answers] Rotad:
Is there any negatives to this method or is it the equivalent of uninstalling an app normally?
[General Questions and Answers] NOOK!E:
No, no negatives at all! In fact, since as you know it is impossible to actually "uninstall" system apps, just deleting their .apk from /system/app is the exact equivalent to uninstalling them.

So glad that I helped! :victory: :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giddygirlie:
Is anyone familiar with the Bluetooth capabilities of the Kindle Fire HD 7" tablet? Basically, I want to side-load an app from the Google Play store so that I can sync my fitness tracker (Misfit Shine, if that matters) to my tablet. However, it will only sync using Bluetooth 4.0 LE. I have read a million posts about this, but it's unclear to me whether or not the Kindle is capable of syncing with LE if the OS is upgraded -- or if I upgrade it to Android 4.3 will it still not be able to use LE?

If it's not likely to work, then I'd prefer not to root my device. The new Kindle 6" says that it supports Bluetooth LE, but the fitness tracker manufacturers can't comment on whether or not the device will work since there is not currently a Misfit app in the Kindle store (due to the fact that the older Kindle Fires cannot use Bluetooth LE).

TL;DR - should I risk bricking my tablet to install Android 4.3 for Bluetooth LE or just spend the money elsewhere and get a newer smartphone/tablet that definitely does work with Bluetooth LE?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdx1:
Hey,

i have a similar problem. A friend of mine, who is not the smartest with technical devices, forgot his Lock Pattern and his gmail adress.

I would Hard Reset ,but he stored all his Phone Contacts and Pictures of the last year exclusively on the Phone.:rolleyes:

The Phone is a Xperia Z C6603 in complety Stock conditions (Bootloader locked, No Root).

ADB Debugging is off.Wlan is off. Mobile data connections are activated.

Is there any possibility to bypass the lock pattern without hardreset and in best case without unlocking the bootloader/voiding the warranty?

I thought about something like:

Boot a costum recovery via fastboot:

fastboot boot recovery.img

To get a recovery with enabled adb or a filemanager to delete or extract gesture.key

1.Is this possible under these circumstances?

2.Would it otherwise be possible to extract the data form the phone?

The Phone contacts would be more important.The Pictures would be nice to have

Many thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaurynasVP:
You can't use fastboot until you unlock your phone bootloader (/your friend's, whatever).

And even if you are concerned about doing this, you will need to make a TA backup, unless you'll erase all your DRM keys during unlock proccess, in the result you'll not be able to re-lock bootloader with DRM keys. They will be forever gone. To avoid this, you have to backup TA partition. And the most sadly part is that to do that, you need to enable USB debugging :D Unfortunately, to do this either, you need to unlock your screen :DD

Tell your friend that he has only 2 choises:

1. Unlock bootloader and then flash system.img (but you'll erase your DRM keys, it will result in Bravia Engine, Walkman and other functions not working and/or etc.)

2. Completely remove all data and restore phone (Hard-Reset, as you already said, you can perform this action by using PC Comapion).

However, I don't know any other alternative way's.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdx1:
Hey LaurynasVP,

thank you very much for your fast answer.

Just to not talk at cross-purposes:

When you say I can't use fastboot with looked Bootloader did you mean only the fastboot flash recovery.img command (not fastbood boot recovery.img ) or fastboot at all.

If I can't use fastboot at all ,choosing Select Kernel to Hotboot in Flashtool wouldn't work neither?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
This device doesn't have a recovery partition, so using fastboot to flash a recovery isn't possible at all.

Most fastboot commands aren't allowed until you unlock the bootloader. The /data partition is wiped when unlocking the bootloader, so that obviously isn't an option for you, being that you want to recover data from the device. I also believe that hotbooting a boot.img or recovery.img is not possible on this device either.

Your friend should try to remember/recover their Google account credentials as that is the only way they will get their data back.

After seeing some good reviews of the liquid smooth rom, I decided to try it out. I flashed 3.2 nightly 10-1-14 with gapps. Everything worked fine, there were no issues with the flashing.

Once it rebooted, i downloaded es file Explorer and noticed that it wasn't picking up my external SD card. I went to settings > storage and sure enough, it shows my internal storage but nothing mounted for external SD card. I clicked mount, it gives me the mounting SD card notice in the status bar, then nothing.

Has anyone else had this issue? And if so, what can I do to fix it?

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floepie:
Wow. Good find! This is the ONLY app I have found that actually *decrease* RGB channel levels with respect to base levels. All other apps only increase levels. By increasing channels, you wind up removing those inky black on AMOLED screens. So, when your brightness levels increase, the blackness takes on the color of the increased color channel, which of course is bad.

I do question your method of removing the yellowish whites of the Moto X. The color temp adjuster slid all the way to the right at 6500 is essentially no filter at all, as its the default color temp. Moving it to the left warms up the white balance, but doesn't result in whiter whites. What I found to improve whiteness was to keep the white balance at 6500, but in the color channels, reduce both RED and GREEN channels to 0.949 and 0.937, respectively. I just keep these settings around the clock and don't make use of all the other filters.

So, this is the only app that I've found where you can maintain your inky blacks while actually *raising* the color temp, or at least raise BLUE levels with respect to the other 2 channels.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I misspoke, I didn't mean color temp. I adjusted the master filter, decreased red and green like you said you did. And same here, that setting stays permanently without anything else. It makes a HUGE difference, my screen is gorgeous now. I'm glad you found as much success with it as I did
