Q&A for [ROM] [CyanDGL] [STOCK/nAa/Alfs/Anastasia]

Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidShimenko:
Does anybody have the stock HTC One M8 splash screen that has the powered by android logo on the bottom? If so could you post it here. (Fastboot or flashable through recovery) Or could anyone tell me how to revert back to the stock splash screen?
[Nexus 6  General] ohhdavid:
Unearthed this little gem, Google's press sheets for the releases today. Apparently, "Late October" means October 29th. Thanks, Google, for giving us the details earlier but gosh it stinks to still have to wait for the end of the October to get it. Trick or Treat guys.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] digitaly:
Hi!.. does anyone know if there is a way to manually switch between GPRS 2 EDGE? Both protocol are avalable where I live and my wizard tempt to choise GPRS first or if I'm lucky EDGE... To swich to EDGE I have to turn the phone on and off many times and sometimes takes very long before it lock's up to EDGE. Anyone has a work arround to this?

Thank you
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tux_tux:
Hi

GPRS always on

If you want your GPRS (or EDGE) connection to always be on, set the following:

HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\|gprs connection name|\AlwaysOn = 1 (DWORD decimal)

And to turn it off:

HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\|gprs connection name|\AlwaysOn = 0 (DWORD decimal)

Note that |gprs connection name| will depend on the name you've given your GPRS connection

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] digitaly:
And what about if I only want to use EDGE and no "GPRS"?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Cynagen:
EDGE is a subset of GPRS, it uses GPRS databands but is faster because it has all sorts of tweaks to the GPRS packet structure. Go to Wikipedia.org and search EDGE, and you'll get more information on it. GPRS is the databand name, EDGE is the packet structure. In other words, you want just EDGE packets, no GPRS. Here's an easy way to do that: Keep a clean signal.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] digitaly:
So in other words if I fit an external antenna I would be ok? all the times? the things is that if I'm using EDGE I'm surfing pretty fast and also I can reiceve phone calls at the same times. I connect my laptop using BT and leave my wizzard on the coffee table! but some days I got EDGE some days not... to get EDGE I have to go to connection manager and switching the phone on and off and sometimes takes lot's of time before it switch to EDGE. So I though it would take me less to find a work arround to this... and here I am...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] frazell:
My Wizard stopped picking up EDGE after went to Canada for some reason... Nothing would fix it, not even a hard reset, so i had it replaced. I don't know what caused it, but maybe yours is in the same boat? If under warranty get it replaced...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] digitaly:
Not really!!! mine works... the things is I have to switch it off and then on severals times before I get the E on display...

How does Speed Booster work?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] remicks:
By editing the values stated in the OP to a more performance based variation of said values inside the databases stored on the device.

[Xperia Z2 General] earthtk:
Wonder if android 5.0 will hit on our phones in the next few mths. That happened on z1 for kitkat.

Can't wait to see what material design Sony can come out with!
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
Probarly yes !
[Xperia Z2 General] gamer649:
With KitKat last year it took Sony about a week to announce some of the phones what they would be upgrading to KitKat. After that it took about 4 months for them to release the update to about half of the Z family and then about another 2 months to release the update to the other half.

If we are lucky this time then we could expect the update to hit in about 4 months (as Sony could update the Z3, Z3 dual, Z3 compact, Z3 tablet compact, Z2 and Z2 tablet). However I do expect us to get the update in about 6 months.
[Xperia Z2 General] ghostofcain:
They stated their aim a while back , I'll try and dig a link up later, to have it by the end of Q1 2015.
[Xperia Z2 General] earthtk:
Probably they might need more time to re design everything to fit the material design.. Q1 2015 looks promising. Let see if they would make any announcement. :laugh: excited.
[Xperia Z2 General] deezid:
I just want Android L with Sony 4k camera and their noise reduction. That's it. Everything else should stay vanilla android L. :D
[Xperia Z2 General] chesterr:
Till Sony officially releases I'll be using cm12 fosho, can't wait to try it out.
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Lol cm12

Android Lolipop will no doubt be slighly aospish unless sony continue to get negative feedback about their new UI
[Xperia Z2 General] 20545ZR16:
IMO, (and before android L) our Z2 should now be running official 4.4.4 like other much older Z devices.

I only have my Z2 for like a week now, but i was chocked to see my syster old xperia ultra on official 4.4.4

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] droidguy22:
I am sure most of you already know about Nexus 6 coming to Verizon:

http://www.motorola.com/us/Nexus-6/nexus-6-motorola-us.html

I have been using Samsung phones for the past 4+ years (GNex, S3, Note 2, Note 3), I like Samsung hardware but never liked their software, rarely used SPen, multi window and other Touch wiz features, I had AOSP roms on S3 and Note2 and on Note 3 I have been missing AOSP badly.

Now comes Nexus 6, for me the most appealing thing with Nexus 6 will be a smart phone with unlockable boot loader on Verizon.

Besides Unlockable boot loader Nexus 6 has all the cutting edge high end hardware with very good build quality (metal frame, curved back for better hand feel):

Stock android + 6” Amoled QHD + SD805 + 3GB ram + 3220mah Battery + New Sony IMX214 Sensor with OIS + 64GB memory + Updates directly from Google + Unlockable Bootloader + Largest Dev support + No Bloat (better battery)

Also - Wireless charging + Dual front facing Speakers + Water resistant + Turbo Charger (15 minutes charge --> 6 hours phone time)

Very impressive, right.

Except bit larger size compared to Note 4 I think Nexus 6 is better in every way, I think I am going to cancel my Note 4 pre order at Best buy by this week end.

Can't wait until Nov 2nd week for the Nexus 6 release..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] AngelsPunishment:
I'm really considering doing the same. Wonder if it will be sold on Amazon. My issue is the non removable battery and the lack of SD card support.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] sulla65:
Heh, I've never owned a Nexus and never will.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] droidguy22:
It looks like it won't be available on Amazon for pre-order, Google is showing only carriers and Play store for pre-order:

http://www.google.com/nexus/6/

I also prefer having removable battery and SD card, but being on Verizon we can't have everything we want (at least until Verizon converts to full LTE), for me having unlockable boot loader is more important and 64GB is not bad (It'll be ok for me once I clean up my music collection), also Turbo charger is included and should help along with no bloat and Lollypop battery enhancements..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] droidguy22:
Would you mind telling why?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] SeanPlunk:
I'm switching to a 64GB Nexus 6 too.

I had a Note 2 and I currently have a Dev. Edition Note 3. While it's been solid thanks to the support of the community, Samsung's support is literally non-existent.

Even if Sammy offers a DE Note 4, I still would have to deal with dismal support and hope the community figures out a way for me to get to 5.0

It's just easier to go Nexus and 64GB should easily be enough to get me through.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] gerg004:
Not sure why this post ended up in the Note 4 section.

Anyway, nexus + verizon doesn't equal instant updates from Google, unfortunately. See Galaxy Nexus.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] droidguy22:
This time it won't be like that, Now there is no separate Verizon model, it's only 1 model across all carriers and it should get update at the same time.

Americas Model (XT1103)

GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850,900,1800,1900 MHz)

CDMA (800, 1900, secondary 800 MHz)

WCDMA (1, 2, 4, 5, 8)

LTE (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 29, 41)

CA DL (B2-B13, B2-B17, B2-29, B4-B5, B4-B13, B4-B17, B4-B29)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] AngelsPunishment:
Yeah I just pulled the trigger and cancelled my Note 4 from Amazon. I'm pretty sure the Nexus 4 and 5 were preorderable from Amazon so I'd be surprised if this wasn't the case this time. It's the most convenient for me so I'm really hoping it will be on Amazon. I figured since I have a ZeroLemon battery charger I'll be okay with a non removable battery. Plus it looks like I can get the 64GB version of the Nexus 6 for the same price as I preordered the 32GB Note 4 with so maybe being without an SD card won't be so bad. If I really need it maybe I'll get one of these.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Bijiont:
I am with you as in why this was even posted here to start with. . . Something my parents always said "Don't let the door hit your @#% on the way out".

Back to the topic, no removable battery and SD card slot is a no go for me. I like being able to get a battery should mine take a dump and not be reliant on sending it in or waiting at a shop for replacement.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] WLPDroid:
I was debating as well when I saw a 64GB option. The better camera on the Note 4 is probably the deciding factor right now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rootuser3.0:
Big FAIL no Micro SD slot
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] leyvatron:
Drive, Dropbox, copy, box, flickr, etc..

I just hope they don't pull a 16gb with 10gb available.

Im still unsure which one I want. I wanted a bigger screen for the note 4 but I also want a spen.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rootuser3.0:
Yea I guess I can sacrifice a micro sd slot for an unlocked bootloader with tons of development
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DataDork:
as far as i can tell . note 4 will be thinner and shorter than the n6. i will keep my order and also check out shamu .. decisions made then, no need to cancel anything just yet.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mchief298:
Too big. The Note 4 is just the right size for me. If it were smaller and NOT made by Motorola...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Cyberz22:
That's not the answer, you need internet to all of them!

If you traveling a lot it won't help you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] leyvatron:
Where do you travel that you don't have internet?

Coffee shops have wifi, airports, wifi in airplanes, 3rd world countries have internet. Might not be fast but internet is everywhere now. What does suck is using your mobile data to upload and download stuff into the "cloud". I have unlimited data so its not a problem for me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Cyberz22:
True but they usually slow.

And using roaming will ruin you.

If you lucky u can buy SIM card in the country you visit.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
nexus 6 is a big ass phone just for the sake of being big like the iPhone 6+. there's nothing about it that makes it a phablet. therefore, i'm sticking to the note 4 which can handle multi-tasking and has the stylus.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ronaldheld:
If I owned the N4 DE I would stick with it versus the nexus 6.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] plmiller0905:
I bought a Note 4 yesterday and been trying for a few weeks to snag one at a good price. And I'm glad I finally have one now.

I can tell you as a previous owner of 3 nexus 6 devices, there is no way I would get a nexus over a Note 4. imo...the camera and the screen is by far more superior than that the Nexus. Other than lollipop, the nexus really doesn't have an advantage over the Note 4. But that's just my opinion.

And just to note...the reason I had 3 nexus 6 devices is because the backs were coming off all them....

Wrote with my Note 4
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ieAnd:
That's really good and comforting to know, thank you. I keep finding myself looking forward to the Samsung'd Lollipop update, then feeling ashamed of waiting (since I've never had to) and looking at these forums. The Note 4 is such an amazing device, but not having root in my control still makes me very uncomfortable. Knowing the Nexus 6 isn't magically better helps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] neyenlives:
The Nexus 6 or any other variant of the same phone isn't ever going to be magically better. They are in their core the same phone, different camera sensors, different screens, layout differences...... but very much the same.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] outcasted2003:
From what I've read, the Nexus6 and Note 4 are basically the same. Except the Note 4 has a slightly better screen, sd card slot and the S-pen which to me is the most important difference.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] neyenlives:
I have a question for Nexus 6 owners. On my Note 3 I can use the SPen to take a screenshot and then edit or crop immediately and share or save edited image to memory. Is there a similar function on the Nexus 6? It's really the only thing I use the stylus for. I'm stuck between waiting for the Note 4 to get root on Verizon, edging up to a Nexus 6 now, or just waiting for 810 devices to come this year..... My edge contract matures in like 6 months at which time I'll own my perfectly good Note 3 outright.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fletch33:
i hear ya and Kia Optima and a Porsche 911 are basically the same except the Porsche has a slightly better engine, better wind resistance, corners like its on rails, and people actually want to own one.

sorry but i couldnt help as that comparison means that all phones are basically the same :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] themoneyman:
I bought a Nexus 6 from T-Mobile and activated it on Verizon. I can do anything I want with it including theming, custom Roms, etc. I have owned the Note 2, Note 3, and Note 4. They are good devices, but I will not give up this freedom again.

Sent from my Nexus 6 - rooted, unlocked, and completely my minion.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Maduro78:
That's the #1 reason I'll never own another Samsung phone. Note 4 is hands down the best phone out but being as locked down as it is it lost the #1 slot once carriers got a hold of it. Even if it was pure android I'd buy it but I can't be stuck with tw I refuse

Moto X 2014
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ronaldheld:
I just ordered the Nexus 6. Will try to gte it activated by Verizon and see how i find it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] corona63976:
You will need nano sim they will have to activate the sim not the phone then just put the sim in and Blam!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ronaldheld:
is it a matter of Verizon copying the microsim information to the nanosim?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] selayan:
Verizon is getting the n6 march 12 so you should have no issue getting a nano Sim. They just need to activate the nano on your current account, nothing really to transfer over. Just call the 800 number tell them you need a 4ff nano Sim.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ronaldheld:
Since I have an active Note 4 how will that affect the Samsung phone when the nanosim is sctivate?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] selayan:
You can only have one active Sim on your account. So you will need a nano to micro adapter to use the note 4 again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] corona63976:
No they don't have the MEID in the system yet so they will have to activate it as if you were putting it in your current phone. I expect it to change when the Nexus is active on Verizon on the 12th of March.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ronaldheld:
If i get customer device to activate on, my Note is "dead" until the nanosim appears?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] binsgame2014:
I love Nexus 6, hope I can get one soon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] aweskelo:
True...but look at new Samsung S6...no removable battery, no SD...

Anyways...the Note 5 is next, in about 5 months....if Note 5 has a metal back (which frankly, no one should give a crap about), a non removable battery, and no SD, I will switch to the Nexus also mainly for the better camera and front facing speakers. I could never understand why in the hell would you put the speaker on the back of the phone....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] selayan:
I love the front speakers in my n6. Also enjoyed them on the m7. Not to mention s6 and so on are harder to root and get a decent Rom unless you want to wait a long time.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JOSHSKORN:
No Micro SD support = Deal Killer

No thanks. I'll stick to my Galaxy Note 4. I think it'll be rooted by April 1st. No, that isn't an April Fools joke.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] taygutta:
No flash on the camera.... why?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] warriorpluto:
It doesn't have flash?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] droidxscott:
Yes it has i dual LED flash..its the ring around the camera lens. I bought a unlocked N6 from amazon. I activated on verizon. I returned it after a weekend. It doesnt compare to the note 4, i just wish i could root the note4 !

The data reception sucked compared to the note4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] warriorpluto:
Yea I was thinking really hard about getting t the nexus 6. I had to pass it up because of the camera, plus it was too wide. My girlfriend has the flex and I'm jealous because Verizon never got it.would've been a good backup. I wish the nexus felt good in my hands like the flex. Another reason why I passed it up
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
Exactly why I sold both nexus 6 I had and I still don't think the note will get rooted
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] wrichards2009:
no sd card slot

worse camera

worse battery (per the reviews)

non removable battery

no fast charging

seems legit...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mlin:
I'm currently using the Nexus 6. I've had it for 4 days after using the Note 4 for ~3-4 months. I'm not sure which one I'll keep. Honestly, my general experience with the Nexus has been far better than the note. Its much smoother, faster and generally more pleasant to use. I rooted it right away but honestly haven't even used root once. The camera on the Note may be slightly better, but the Nexus has a solid shooter as well. I'm leaning towards keeping the Nexus but I'll give it a few more days to decide. Having a removable battery is rather trivial in my opinion, but I may trade up for a 64GB if I decide to keep the Nexus. BTW, the Nexus turbo charger chargers the device remarkably quick.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ronaldheld:
Hoping my Nexus experience starts today...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tunez23:
Mind you I bought the Note 4 due to some things that ticked me off about the Nexus 6. Let's add some positives for the Nexus 6 though and then some additional bad things about it too.

Goods:

1. The speakers man.... my god the speakers vs the Note 4!!

2. No locked boot loader.

3. No bloat!!

Bads:

1. Encryption!!! It slows down the Nexus terribly. It is supposed to be becoming optional soon though but it's not right now.

2. Very buggy! Hopefully a new firmware will fix it because the restarts and freezes are annoying.

3. Worst of all! The updates will not come directly from Google on these and it has been stated that the updates come from the carrier as well! :mad:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] the_rooter:
For the bads encryption is easy to decrypt. Not hard actually and it will be known for all devices to come out of the box encrypted once lollipop gets sent out, and also if u bought directly from motorola or google the updates will come fast enough. Also and i will bring this up to. Even though u have a "att" type nexus. All u have to do is side load the google firmware once it comes out and your good to go. no need to wait for att or whatever carrier you use.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tunez23:
Lollipop was on the phone from day one. The encryption will come with the ability to turn it off in Lollipop 5.1 where as it isn't in 5.01 and 5.02 unless you root / rom without it. It is a Google bought 64g Nexus 6 and the installs will still come through the carrier unlike the Nexus' before it. When the sim card is installed it makes the updates come from the carrier. Also, you aren't able to just remove the sim and pull the update via WifI as well. This is the part that is angering a lot of people because many buy the Nexus 6 for quicker updates.

Google has also confirmed that as well that if you are not getting updates, it's your carriers fault because they are being blocked at SIM level.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mlin:
Who cares about carriers? Just go to the google factory image page and download images directly. Or just grab one of the official update zips that will be posted within hours of google releasing the update. No fuss, no muss.

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] selayan:
I dunno about carrier blocking updates. I had the nexus 6 before it came to Verizon and was using it on Verizon/still am. I gott the 5.01 update promptly after it was released by Google.

Also images are posted shortly. My brother's nexus 6 is on att and we uninstalled the att bloat.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
Yeah but you can put new roms on it! ;)

I find the Note 4 fine as is, so getting an even bigger device, no sd, inferior camera/display and less battery life seems an awful lot of sacrifice just to change roms on own.
