[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benofilis:
Hi All,

I am a happy nexus 5 owner. I recently switched from sprint to att and couldn't be happier with how my n5 is performing. It's like a new phone.

Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but here goes, it'll probably be a fun post anyway.

Anywho, in switching, I ran up against a nice issue that apparently all carriers sneakily do in their terms. If you cancel service (not a contract, been out of contract for some time) they charge you for the full month of service. In my case, I left 2 days into my billing cycle and am being charged for the whole month! Pretty crappy.

Sob story aside, I really don't have the time or energy to fight them, nor take them to court, nor risk my credit score all over $130. But since I feel crappy about it, I'd like to get back at least in some nominal way.

One idea is since I'm paying for the month, take an older sprint phone, activate it for the month and set it up to just download and upload as much data as possible. Any suggestions? Another idea I had is that I've heard roaming alot causes all kinds of charges for the carrier. So I thought I could write a quick script to call a landline or my google voice number every night when free nights and weekends kicks in and leave the phone plugged in somewhere where it is roaming? Anyone know if this is better? Should I just use roaming data?

Any and all comments most appreciated.

You're right this is not a good place for this. This is a development forum, not a get-your-own back forum.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
tmobile only charges you for the days you still were using them. if you used them for only two days, thay would only charge you for two days :p
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
this.

it depends on the plan you were on. if you were on a prepaid plan, you're SOL. if you're on a post-paid plan, they should pro-rate it.

also, with 2 days left, the amount in question that would be credited back to you is quite low.

eitherway, this is not the proper forum for you to be angry and try and get back at a carrier.

Hi everyone. Sorry in advance if I'm not meant to post this question here.

I have been ripping my hair out thinking and wanting to root my SM-G900I.

Just wondering if the latest official CM 11 M11 build that's about to become available is going to be good enough to replace my stock ANG3 firmware from Samsung?

Thanks in advance for any help/feedback. I love the XDA community and appreciate the information.

gonna give a try to the other part when I found out how to reverse (love the original bootlogo)... :good:

[ONE Themes and Apps] notesbancales:
Pleasure !

I tryed also the bootlogo, nice and working. :)

but when I saw I could do one by myself, i created one with my name and address... kind of anti-noob-theft device ;)
[ONE Themes and Apps] nicholaschum:
Yep, I use the boot logo tool to make the splash screen for the image before my boot animation plays.
[ONE Themes and Apps] BellaxMiu:

[ONE Themes and Apps] nicholaschum:
Updated OP with AFH database to download bootanimation.zip (for Lollipop ROMs), be sure to set permissions correctly!
[ONE Themes and Apps] kouss77550:
Worked perfectly for me ! On Calkulin's CM11S 44S, with franco kernel r35
[ONE Themes and Apps] Big Foot:
Everything is fine BUT..

I love this boot animation and boot logo!!! I have it installed and everything is fine! Except for one thing, I'm not getting the animation when my OPO is plugged in. It is the last of your screenshots, where it shows the OPO usb cord plugged into the phone with what looks like a battery charging animation. I still have the stock version, with the large battery in the middle of the screen that charges from red to green.

Is there a step that I didn't follow?

UPDATE:

Sorry, I realized that was a new fastboot logo!!

However, speaking of the battery charging animation, do you intend to make an animation to replace the one that is used when the phone is plugged in, but powered off???

Is it possible to change that animation??

I would love to replace my entire booting/charging theme and have everything be a uniformed Project Flo theme!!

Thanks for the great work, sorry for the misunderstanding, and I hope that you got this far into my message haha! Cheers!
[ONE Themes and Apps] nicholaschum:
There is a way to change that image, but you would have to use the Bootlogo Changer app. It's not possible for desktop users like me.
[ONE Themes and Apps] Big Foot:
Oh man!! The main thing is that I would want it to fit the entire vibe of your boot logo/animation theme(s). I don't have any of your animation files, plus I would even know where to begin haha!

Is it not possible because you don't have a phone to test it on?

If you were able to implement this last part of the boot theme, I would probably never change it haha! I looks amazing, I can't stress that enough!!
[ONE Themes and Apps] nicholaschum:
I do, but I'm not sure how to share it as one flashable. It's meant to be made so that each person makes their own logo.bin on their device and mods it.
[ONE Themes and Apps] Big Foot:
I'm a little confused. Are you saying that the obstacle is that you aren't able to flash it, and instead would have to replace the files manually??

I think I follow you, however my skill in tweaking it myself would be poor. I'd most certainly mess something up.

As long as you understand what I'm requesting, and you're aware that there's a need for it, I'm happy ???

You might figure it out eventually!!!

Thanks man!!!

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

However, just thinking..

Since we have the same phone, if you were able to create the file(s) and I could download them, I'm pretty sure I could make it work with proper instruction.

Its the "making the files myself" part that would get me in trouble..
[ONE Themes and Apps] nicholaschum:
This was what I was talking about, it's actually quite easy but I'm not really familiar with it: http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/bootlogo-viewer-view-flash-bootlogo-t2903998
[ONE Themes and Apps] Big Foot:
Thanks for your help haha!!

I've downloaded the app, however it doesn't load. Instead I get a toast message that says root access is required. Obviously I'm already rooted. Is there a setting that I'm not checking somewhere??

I've attached the screenshot.
[ONE Themes and Apps] nicholaschum:
I'll suggest posting that on the thread above, I never tried the latest versions.
[ONE Themes and Apps] nicholaschum:
I believe logo.bin if flashed on a CM12 rom would brick. This is most likely due to the partition changes.

Sorry about that. I'll update OP.
[ONE Themes and Apps] cgjjaf:
I just tried three of the bootanimations in CM12, permission are set correctly, but they won't work. Any ideas? Thanks.
[ONE Themes and Apps] nicholaschum:
Since you're on CM12, you might as well just download it off the Play Store and use it on Theme Chooser.
[ONE Themes and Apps] soralz:
Hmm I don't know what did I it wrongly, I tried your bootanimation.zip placed in /data/local and also tried /system/media. It's not working already set permissions. If use the app is ok.
[ONE Themes and Apps] nicholaschum:
If you're on CM11 or CM12 use the Play Store link.

If not, these boot animations won't work for you unless you rezip and compression level to store on WinRAR, if it still doesn't work for you, then it's the problem with the rom.
[ONE Themes and Apps] nicholaschum:
MAYBE flash back to CM11S stock with all partitions. Then flash my logo.bin.

Some people keep on asking op when the new version is going to be released over and over again even though dev said it will be released when finished. There is no benefit in using a rom that is buggy so why not be patient and let the dev do his work in his own time. In the meantime, his previous release is worthy of being a daily till the new version is ready.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] praetorzero:
I've got an issue with my D800 that I'd like some confirmation on. Since this afternoon, it's intermittently had a static filled screen. I've found that if I tap it a few times, it comes back to a normal screen. A few times, the screen has come up off center from what it normally is.

The digitizer looks to work 100% of the time. I'm confident that this is a hardware issue in that, if I reboot the phone, I have that static all the way through, from where the boot logo should be to my home screen.

My question is this: Is it the LCD or just the ribbon connecting the screen to the mainboard? My personal feeling is that if it were the screen, then it wouldn't intermittently come back. Also, reseating the ribbon is cheaper than replacing the LCD. :D

Any thoughts from those that have had this happen to them before?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulsic:
Hello praetorzero,

Can you describe more about your "static" screen?

Do you mean like a noisy screen like old television displays?

Do you mean that one image like home stays the whole time on your screen?

By these both things you can try to reseat the ribbon but watchout that you don't move the ribbon too much because it can get bad.

It's true that it's an hardware issue. If you have warranty you can RMA it to let it be repaired. If you don't have warranty and the ribbon reseating doesn't work then you maybe can buy a LCD+Digitizer for like 80 euro or you might just sell your phone :/.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] praetorzero:
I can't post links yet, but let's try this anyway:: i.imgur.com/tPFHxJb.jpg

This isn't my picture, but this is exactly what my screen looks like when it's not working. If I rap the lower portion of the screen with my knuckle, it will either go back to completely normal or go off-center with the lower half of my homescreen represented at the top of the screen and the lower half static. Again, the digitizer works in the expected location, because I can still unlock the phone with my typical swipe.

Unfortunately, I bought this off of eBay, so there is no warranty. I'm on my own.
[Paranoid Android Features Development] unerds:
this would be similar to Alt+Tab on a PC - except you'd swipe left and right on the floating window... maybe add a top bar to the floating window so as to not conflict with apps that require left/right swipe to open menus, and then swipe that top bar.

i think that'd make the floating window mode 10x more useful than it's current iteration where it's a one time, one way operation.

another related function would be from this advanced floating window mode, as you're cycling through apps, users could then swipe up or down to close that particular app, thus removing it from the cycle.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treehugger38294:
There is an app called SecondScreen which can lower the screen resolution from 1080p to 720p. This should both save battery AND improve gaming performance because the GPU does not have to work hard to render at 1080p (55% more pixels). Would this have a noticeable impact on battery life?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
probably very slight if anything.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charlus97:
Well, there's still the same number of pixels turned on with the same luminosity. So, there's mostly nothing to save on the screen side.

maybe it will save a bit of battery on a normal usage (cause GPU will not work as harder to render the launcher, etc). But, I think it will work at the same frequency for 720p or 1080p. So, same power usage I think.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Not to mention the GPU will have to upscale the 720 resolution to the "physical" pixels. ...unless it only actually uses the smaller amount of pixels in the centre of the screen.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dec1153:
Will this brick by any chance/ cause problems
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varuntis1993:
well I have been using this app and it works perfectly except it deletes some short cuts and widgets sometimes when returning to original state.

I play Riptide gp2 at full graphics and frame drops were pretty evident after certain time depending upon the circuit and which looked very bad.

I tried at 720p and boy was amazed to see how smooth the game ran. Fell in love with the app

As far as battery life is concerned cant tell you much about it as I only use it for playing graphic intensive games.

I'm sorry for your IMEI mate. Maybe EFS folder and baseband are just unmounted?

You could have restored it with EFS professional only if you have previously created a backup while IMEI was still there. I don't like tools, I would rather use terminal command.

However, the service can restore your IMEI with JTAG. Good luck.

For normal day light conditions i feel the auto brightness adjusts very well. Its definitely better than the s4 i had. I have the auto brightness selected and the bar at 50%. I agree for night time reading i have to manually adjust the brightness may be its not as quick to adjust in very low light conditions compared to day light
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremy_inc:
I was using CM11 on the S4 which had very good brightness control, not sure about standard. I agree during the day I don't have problems at all, and the screen is very good. It's just when I'm somewhere with low brightness and I have to turn it down, and then when I go back into day I have to turn it back up again. Pretty annoying having to change it all the time.

I will get an app to do it for me for now, but this must be some sort of bug this action couldn't be on purpose.

Sometimes when the lighting condition does not change, it will start to increase/decrease the brightness to the level which does not suit the lighting condition.

It also have the tendency to favor lower brightness.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Apollo_Starkiller:
Hi, I cracked the screen on my Nexus 7 (2013) and I replaced the LCD+digitizer. Now I have a big dead spot in the middle of the screen and it cuts out when I drag my finger across the screen.

Any help would be much appreciated!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] graphdarnell:
This issue has come up enough times. Look for instance at THIS thread. There are so many possibilities as to why, it's impractical to generalize. In your case,however, I highly suspect the digitizer itself. But it depends on whether you replaced the combo, or the lcd and digitizer individually. While it's too late to mention it, you should've tested the thing before sticking it to the bezel. Some vendors would nevertheless consider a replacement if you can send it back to them. Good luck.

My HTC One has all the necessary prerequisites for flashing Roms. I'm not sure how to check s-off though, but I think that's the case. I can flash Roms that do not use Aroma, but if the ROM contains Aroma there is no use. They all freeze at a certain point, I believe around some part that has to do with the System. For example, Maximus HD freezes at 1% when formatting something. Any help would be appreciated. I have looked a lot for the last few days, and can't seem to find an answer.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dc959:
Okay so I'm assuming that you're flashing a kk rom here. Are you on the latest recovery and also on a kk base with the latest radios and hboot already on the device? Also make sure you're flashing the right rom for you're device. What device do you have? And also send the link to the rom you're trying to flash just so I can double check that it's correct as if it's freezing at 1% then all I can think that is the problem is you're either trying to flash a kk custom rom on a jb rom without updated firmware and radios or your recovery is out of date or the 3rd reason could simply be you're trying to flash the wrong rom for your phone.

That is the rom, It's Maximus HD. My hboot is 1.54, I'm not sure if my phone has the latest radios, but I have the latest TWRP recovery. 2.8.0.2 I think? I have the HTC One M7 for AT&T., but it says HTC One UL in the same screen I found the hboot. I believe the phone was converted to the GPE edition since it says GOOGL1 on the hboot screen. (I bought this second hand)

EDIT: I just want to add that Android Revolution HD yields the same results, but at 10%. And my phone is currently on a stock build of Sens 6 4.4.3, but the rom before it was GPE.

If you go into your bootloader you'll see under the **unlocked** message you'll see something that has the phone model and then ship and after ship it will say either s-on or s-off and for the ROM you're trying to flash you have to be s-off thankfully you're on hboot 1.54 so you can use rumrunner to gain s-off if you're not so check that
