[Omni Q&A] sohotha:
Hi,

I have Oppo Find 7.

Installed Omnirom and all has gone well.

Except that when I try to connect the phone to PC via USB cable with USB Debugging enabled .. I get nada ..

Nothing appears in the Portable Devices ..

Had various roms before ( Nameless, Miui etc ) never had this problem before.

Any advise/work around/Solution ?

Thanks

11/10/14 - Today I restored my color O/S using TWRP. Guess what, I had no problems connecting my Find 7 to Win 8.1 , which installed the driver immediately. But try as I might connecting using OMINIROM , no drivers are installed. Phone is not even recognized in devices. Can ANYONE advance/suggest something.

Great rom especially as it works so well with the Bluetooth so would hate to try/move to another rom.

12/10/14 - Resolved. It looks as if every time I connected the phone thew wrong driver was being installed. Check these steps if you have same problem:

- Under Devices check under "Android Devices" for any driver that you do not recognize in my case it installed "acer composite adb interface"

- I UNINSTALLED this INCLUDING delete associate files ( check option under uninstall )

- Then connected phone again

- This time it installed Google Nexus drivers

- I UNINSTALLED this with delete files option

- Disconnected and reconnected my phone

SUCCESS - It now installed "Android Composite ADB Interface"

My Find 7 now connects as storage device and can access phone from Win 8.1

Hope this helps someone else in same dilemma.

Hello,

My messages app stopped working, it cannot launch, I got a message error.

Could you help me please?

What should I do?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mistertac:
I'd say a Factory Reset should fix you up, if you don't get any other tips from anyone on here go with that.

Just back up your data first of course.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rafael1000:
Thanks, but I can't backup with LG backup, I got the error too.

What should I backup with titanium backup? Or is there another program to do the backup?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mistertac:
You could definitely try Titanium.

I just manually move all my pictures, music etc over to my SD Card and anything else I don't want to use. But for your apps and data TiBU should work just fine for you.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rafael1000:
I don't know how to use it right, I must save everything ? Don't you think it will save the issue too? Do you have a tutorial to know how to use titanium backup please?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TesseractE:
Has anyone found a setting or Xposed mod or somesuch that will detect whether someone's on Wi-Fi or not and launch the stock Android Dialer if not and Hangouts if on Wi-Fi?

This would be handy for something like Google Now, making the Hangouts experience even smoother. If I ask to call home in my car, it'll fire up my normal dialer (so Hangouts isn't using my Data Plan), but if I want to Call Mom from home, it'll launch Hangouts and dial using my home Internet.

Hi all

Just thought I'd let you know that I've written a detailed review of the Sony SmartWatch 3 as I got my hands on a developer version to develop apps on.

I've compared it with the Sony SmartWatch 2 to give some perspective of what I think of Android Wear. You can find my review on my blog http://xperiazultra.weebly.com.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpp:
I constantly have notifications from Download Manager of a file being downloaded. It never finishes and is there until I finally clear Download Manager's data. It will then go away until the next time when it's another file. The filenames change each time. Currently the file name up is image013.png but other times it's things like attachments in emails from my gmail. Tapping on the notification does nothing. Long pressing on it gives me the App Info option which then takes me to Download Manager's app info.

The app info has the option to not show notifications but then I wonder if this is a symptom of a problem and these would just build up.

I'm also having the same issue. Download Manager keeps trying to download something but I don't know what it is.

Mine says: "downloading_this_message_in_html.html"

When I go into Download Manager App Info, I can Force Close it. The button to Clear Cache is selectable but when I press it, it does nothing (there's no response).

I even tried Factory Reset using Sony's PC Companion on Windows but the issue is still there after I get the phone to what I want it to be.

My solution is to just Turn Off Notification for Download Manager App.

My concern is, I hope it's not draining any battery since it might be running in the background and I'm just not seeing it cause I have notification turned off.

SONY!!!! What the heck man!

THIS THE BEST YOU CAN DO?!! Sony needs to get better QA testers.

z3 download problem

Im having the same problem with my z3 dual. Its a never ending download. I went to the sony xperia official forum xperia care site. Brought up this problem. First they told me to clear cache. It didnt work . Next they told me to clear data. It stopped for awhile then it came back again. Next, sony support told me told re- format everything using a windows laptop...took a long time, it didnt work either. What i noticed is this problem occurs when im on 3g or lte network. When i turn on wifi...then the unending download stops. When i turn off wifi, and go back to 3g or lte, it starts again. It goes on a loop...its obviously a software problem...needs an update. Even sony care cannot solve. They have gone quiet since the last time i logged in...no answer til now...

[General Questions and Answers] pedrocrv:
Hello

(sorry for my english)

I'm a noob in this world and i need some help.

In the past few days i've been reading a lot of posts in this forum but to a noob it's a little bit hard to understand somethings.

So, i'm using this topic to ask some questions. If there is another thread that answer all my questions and explain things for a newbie, feel free to tell me and apologize to create this new thread.

I have a smartphone android, Galaxy S2 with android 4.1.2, all locked to the provider (I know that there is a specific forum for this smartphone and i read some threads).

Now, i want to make it a ROOT and maybe try new ROM's.

Let's start with the questions:

-To make a root, it's better with kernel exchange or with a simple file?

-In the future, if i want to install another ROM, having the root made from the kernel that is with the phone (using a file in the SD Card) may cause some problems? To do this it's better to go to root insecure kernel?

-Why i need to change kernel? which is the benefits?

-It's possible to restore to the previous kernel?

-What are necessary to backup the ROM that actually i have?

-Changing one time the kernel, i can install all the roms i want or i need to install another kernel's?

Thank you for your atention, and one more time, sorry for my english!

[MENTION=6072268]pedrocrv[/MENTION],

Your English is fine! Don't worry about that, man.

Here is my opinion.

Generally speaking, you don't need to replace your kernel. Replacing the kernel can both drastically change your device's performance for the better, as well as render your device completely unusable, which in Android terminology is called "bricked". If your device is "bricked", it is completely useless as an electronic device, making it nothing more than a brick. :)

But to get back on topic, it's normally only developers like myself who need to replace the kernel, and even then only every once in a while. It's somewhat unsafe for new users, because one little mistake can lead to a huge problem. Trust me, I've seen them here on XDA myself. Don't become one of them.

However, using and flashing ROMs is a whole different story. ROMs normally change aesthetic parts of your device, like the look and features. If you follow the instructions given to install the specific ROM very well, it is practically impossible to brick your device.

If you find a good ROM, go for it. It's almost definitely going to change your device in a very good way.

So to wrap up this post, basically (for you):

Replace the kernel = bad idea, don't do it until you have more experience

Install/flash a ROM = a great idea, go for it if you find a nice one!

The most important thing to remember, however, is to m a k e a b a c k u p. Once you make a backup, you can mod your system however you want without fear of bricking.

Hope this helps.

:)

Thank you for your explanation!

I understand what you said, but in one thread of my smartphone i see a lot of people talking about rooting their phones but for this is needed to use another kernel.

I want to root my device, and in a near future maybe install one ROM of CyanogenMod (and try others too), but i'm afraid of rooting because that story of changing the device kernel and using Odin... I don't want a brick :mad:

Another question:

If i find a file to root my device without Odin, but i don't have the 100% that it's the file indicated for my device, there is some problem if I try to root with that?

And, as i see, there is some diferent files, how i choose one? it's indifferent or one file have specific itens that another don't have?

Thanks a lot!
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
like Thenookieforlife3 said you do not need a kernel, you dont need one to root or install roms/custom recovery's, they are just for tweaking things or being able to overclock. So, first of all, you are going to have to tell us your model number (or which carrier your phone is on) so we can direct you to the right root guide, s2's are fairly easy to root so dont be scared we will hold your hands the entire way!

I have another questions to do:

-What vary from file to file on root?

-What is a AOSP ROM? Where I can find a rom that is almost empty of trash, like i think it is a Stock Rom?

-In the information given above, wich is more important to see if I can install that rom? Can I install a rom that is not XWLSD?

Compilation Number: JZO54K.I9100XWLSD

I have another questions to do:

-What vary from file to file on root? Normally not much changes from root method to root method - basically, if anything does, it's negligible to you, meaning that it won't really matter. What does matter is that the root method actually roots your phone.

-What is a AOSP ROM? ASOP stands for

A

ndroid

O

pen

S

ource

P

roject, and it pretty much means that it's a ROM that is as minimalistic and "free of trash", as you say, as you can get it.

-Where I can find a rom that is almost empty of trash, like i think it is a Stock Rom? Here are a few good ones:

AOSP NeatROM for S2

CarbonRom KitKat for S2

SuperNexus for S2

-In the information given above, which is more important to see if I can install that rom? Can I install a rom that is not XWLSD? The ROMs that you can install will be labelled "S2" and "I9100". Don't try to install any other ROMs unless they have those labels.

Hope these help!
[General Questions and Answers] pedrocrv:
I understand what you said!

For example, the AOSP NeatROM have a version that is not AOSP. What it means?

Answers to your questions in red.

For example, the AOSP NeatROM have a version that is not AOSP. What it means? That means that there is another version of that ROM that is more full of extra features, a.k.a "trash". :p

To Install other ROM's i need to root first? Yes.

And now, how i simply root by a file? It depends from method to method - some methods are apps that you install and then hit a "big red button", some methods are files that you have to flash through a custom recovery, for example, ClockworkMod. Basically, just read and follow the instructions that come with each root method.
[General Questions and Answers] pedrocrv:
again, thank you!

So, if i find some thread that talk about a file to root, it's just follow the instructions and it's done?

how I know that i need a custom recovery? mine doesn't work?

what is flashing?

Once again, answers to your questions in red.

So, if i find some thread that talk about a file to root, it's just follow the instructions and it's done? Yes, that's right.

how I know that i need a custom recovery? mine doesn't work? The rooting method will tell you in the instructions whether or not you need a custom recovery, and if it does, it will tell you which one to use and how to use it.

what is flashing? Simply put, flashing is installing a file (normally a .zip) that has been specially formatted via a recovery method (custom or stock).

Thank you for your attention! No problem!
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
im sure we should introduce him to cyanogenmod, cyanogenmod can be more stock than Asop most of the time, Asops nice but there are most of the time little additions that the creator likes, plus if cyanogenmod installer is compatible for your device he shouldn't have todo much!

[MENTION=6072268]pedrocrv[/MENTION] , im not trying to steal his thunder but im trying my best to explain it to you too if he left anything out, otherwise if you guys want me to i will back out :).

Custom recovery's are basically a way of getting out of a bad spot and being able to Flash new Roms, if you get stuck in a bootloop (stays stuck at the samsung screen for a very long time, the first time you flash a rom you should let it sit for it can take awhile for the first time you turn it on.) you can most likely get out of the problem and be able to backup your stock firmware if you decide you dont like rooting/custom roms, it does stuff the Stock recovery does not do.

Flashing is basically as thenookieforlife3 said its so you can install Roms, when you hear the term flashing think "installing".

[MENTION=4700814]Trozzul[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5981373]thenookieforlife3[/MENTION],

Thank you for both atention! i'm learning a lot of things with both of you!

I know cyanogen, and as i search in the wiki of cyanogen page i think my phone is compatible.

What I need to do with the installer? And if i use the installer, how I backup my actual ROM to future problems or needs to come to origins?

stock ROM-> My actual ROM?

Custom ROM-> a new one

So, if i understand everything:

With my actual recovery i'm not able to install other ROM's. But, with my recovery, i'm able to root my device unless the root method needs a custom recovery and it say's how to install it right?

With the root by my recovery, i'm able to install other ROM's but I will need to further install a custom recovery right?

Many thanks :good:
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
Yes your stock rom is what the device comes with when you buy it. every device method of being able to get custom roms is different, so when you do get a new phone always do your research, sometimes you can root it and dont need a custom recovery (thats only if you want to stay on stock rom) sometimes you need a custom recovery to get root. with my S2 what i needed todo was get a custom recovery first, installing cyanogenmod already comes rooted so you can make a backup of your stock rom without rooting it.

so i dont also exactly know which device you have, where are you from? it looks spanish in your phones setttings with that screenshot, region is important. is it a GT-i9100 or a GT-i9100b? take out the battery and tell us what the model number says there. this is important for the cyanogenmod installer.
[General Questions and Answers] pedrocrv:
No i'm from portugal :)

so:

Model: GT-I9100

Wich is the diference?
[General Questions and Answers] NOOK!E:
There's

very

little difference between the i9100 and the i9100b, but the difference is enough that there is a separate CyanogenMod installer for both models.
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
[MENTION=5981373]thenookieforlife3[/MENTION] i think the cyanogenmod installer installs a CWM right for his question on it? also look at these stated on the Cyanogenmod wiki for the GT-i9100

Should we tell him to run a benchmark and tell us his CPU?

[MENTION=6072268]pedrocrv[/MENTION] (Edit:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antutu.ABenchMark download this app real fast and tell us what CPU you have) so the cyanogenmod installer will be the easiest thing for you, even though installing a custom rom is insanely easy this is basically a one click method, note that all of your data will be deleted so back that up somewhere where you can save it and put it on your phone when its done installing. so as i asked thenookieforlife3i believe that the cyanogenmod installer will also install the latest and best custom recovery for you (CWM: Clockworkmod will be a huge term like CM: Cyanogenmod you will hear a lot, they are both very popular for being the most stable.) it would be stupid enough for it not to install it as well, but if it does not we will show you an easy app that will install a custom recovery, basically one click just like cyanogenmod. now as i looked on the cyanogenmod site, the installer IS compatible with your phone and will install a Stable version of Cyanogenmod 10.2 which is android 4.3. note that the highest right now is CM 11 which is android 4.4.4 kit kat but right now is what we call a "Nightly".

i will try my best to explain this to you, there are four stages that cyanogenmod puts out i will rate them from lowest to highest: "experiments" "snapshot" "nightly" and "Stable", you only need to worry about nightly and stable, Stable is basically the final product the last update for that android version so its the most stable and with less bugs and this is what you want to aim for, Nightlys are Nightly generated updates that update bugs every night asked by people like us to be fixed, Honestly Nightlys are Very stable and are perfectly fine.

Now you might like Cyanogenmod 10.2, personally a lot of my phones run 10.2 if its available, you might like kit kat (Cyanogenmod 11) better instead, honestly try out 10.2 first and if you dont like it, you can update to Cyanogenmod 11 (they push updates out like how samsung would push out updates.) without deleting your information on CM 10.2, im sorry if i confused you at all please ask a lot of questions if needed!
[General Questions and Answers] NOOK!E:
Yes, installing CyanogenMod installs ClockworkMod as the default recovery.

Yes, let's have him run a benchmark and tell us the results.
