[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jball:
I used the tool kit I provided links to and had zero issues.it installed the outdated TWRP and with the outdated recovery I flashed the updated Supersu so Flashify would have root permission to flash the updated TWRP img.I wouldn't recommend something that wouldn't have worked if I didn't try it myself.another shortcut you might be interested in is in fact very reliable as far as

S-OFF when you reach that stage is "SunShine".

I didn't say toolkits don't work. But I've seen them cause problems for

some

folks as well. And those problems went away simply by doing things the "manual" way (command prompt) instead of using a GUI.

And just because it worked for you, doesn't mean its going to work 100% of the time.

Hassoon's toolkit to flash an obsolete TWRP, then flash SuperSU, then install Flashify to update TWRP seems a bit convoluted; when all it takes to flash TWRP in fastboot is a single command (after downloading .img file to your computer).

Same number of steps as it would be if starting from scratch.I simply tried the tool kit cause the rumor that all tool kits will cause problems phrase.I assume op tried the tool kit in the first place possibly intimidated by adb/fastboot commands so I gave another option.again I do like your educated choice of words and thank you for being a major contributor on XDA

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Options are always good when one is in a jam. The OP hasn't tried any of the suggestions yet, so its entirely possible that my approach fails and yours succeeds. Although I doubt it, as toolkits do the same thing as the "manual" way, just by adding a GUI.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jball:
[MENTION=660462]redpoint73[/MENTION]

Well good ,than adb/fastboot would be the way to go and highly unlikely that it will fail considering adb/fastboot will be his option when removing the "tampered","redtext" and writing Supercid.

still no luck. did a fastboot devices and got my phone ID. did fastboot erase cache and it erased the cache. flashed twrp.img and got

error: cannot load 'twrp.img'
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Do you have the option turned on in Windows to hide the file extensions? You might have accidentally renamed the file "twrp.img.img" and not realized it. This is the most common reason for the error message mentioned.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] stumcmahan:
Thanks! that was it man! i read that somewhere else i completely forgot to check.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Yeah, there was another user that made the same mistake just the other day.

I suppose the particular mistake wouldn't happen if using a toolkit. But on the other hand the toolkit (at least Windroid) didn't work either. So there is never a perfect answer. The best thing is to have a variety of options open to you; and be armed with the proper tools and knowledge to handle an array of problems.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] stumcmahan:
couldn't agree more. and just wanted to say thanks again, you were a big help. appreciate it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
The only toolkit you might want is sneakyghost's quick batch kit,which contains a small adb/fastboot package...unless you plan on downloading the entire ADT

Hello, is anybody able to patch O2 Phone Plus application? This application allow O2 phones among others to use smartdialling. And it is in my opinion even better that HTC's smartdialling (Big fat figures, recognized names directly in the dialer window, not in new one smaller). But is does not support special characters from other alphabets (czech, greek, russian, hebrew, polish, hungarian etc.).

Is there anybody who would be able to do similar patch like ValeraVi did with smartdialling.dll? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1088082&postcount=151

[General Questions and Answers] Zombekas:
I did post this under Nexus 5 Q/A, but I realized this probably applies to all Android devices, not just the one I have. So sorry for dual-topic, but I feel this kind of belongs here more.

With the Nexus 6 announced, I was quite disappointed, as I was expecting Google to release an updated version of Nexus 5, just like they did with Nexus 7 back in 2013. I'm not a fan of phablets, and 6 inches seems too big for a phone, while Nexus 5 sure hit that sweet spot.

So I had this idea - would it be possible to replace the old existing Snapdragon processors with newer versions? 801? 805? What about the new 808/810 models? Problems that come to my mind are:

Do the newer processors have the same pin layout as the 800 version? I managed to find information that the 801 is, but I'd like to know about 805 or even 808/810.

Do different Snapdragon 8** series processors use the same instruction-set? If not, are the newer versions backwards-compatible with old versions, like for example Intel's x86?

Would the old chipset be able to take advantage of a faster processor? I know ROMs with custom kernels allow overclocking up to 3 GHz, although that's just stupid. With a 805/808/810 though... Would it be as simple as getting for exapmle CyanogenMod, "overclocking" the 805 to 2.7 GHz (what it's actually rated at), and that would be the end of the story? Or am I missing something?

How hard would it be physically to replace the processor? I imagine a skilled engineer with a soldering station would be able to do the job, or are the connections so small that it's practically impossible to do by hand?

How does one obtain a stand-alone Snapdragon processor? I can't seem to find any on Amazon. Do they even sell retail, like Intel/AMD? If not, how do I get hold of one?

What else am I missing? How feasable is this idea really?
[General Questions and Answers] wardozer9:
Short answer. No.

Unlike the "Can I upgrade my phones memory?" question, this one is a much more definitive no.
[General Questions and Answers] Vuciz:
From what I hear, the 810 will be the last 32-Bit Snapdragon SoC.

Meaning, even if you could (I highly doubt you can) your only improvement would be less than 0.5gHZ.

So not really worth the risk.

[Nexus 9 Accessories] dianestory2:
I'm not planning on getting a nexus 9 quite yet, but in case any of you are interested in getting one, you should really consider also getting a stylus for the screen. I use my stylus for everything on there, and this saves me from having to use a screen protector, which makes the display a whole heck of a lot better. I've used a few different styli, and this amPen stylus is pretty good, by my standards. You can even get replacement tips.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] profjoe:
Resolution of touch screen ...?

Does anyone know the sensitivity of the digitizer? I would like to use a very fine tip stylus (like the directstylus included with the nvidia shield tablet), but am concerned that often tablet digitizers have lower resolution so it would have trouble picking up the small tip...
[Nexus 9 Accessories] dianestory2:
This one is not a fine tip, and would not be optimal for drawing or note-taking, but this is a terrific substitute for your fingertip, and leaves no finger prints.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] Knucklessg1:
Do you know if the Nexus 9 supports the directstylus?
[Nexus 9 Accessories] dianestory2:
I'm not entirely sure - i mean, I can't imagine why it would not...?
[Nexus 9 Accessories] Knucklessg1:
Because it requires special NVidia software to recognize fine tip stylus. I haven't heard anything anywhere about support.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] natsinicky:
Idk about that, but I like the simple ones.... I too have an ampen stylus that I really like. I just stick to what I know works.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] mk92595:
Ya I need a fine tip stylus for not taking and drawing in class.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] larry567:

yeah let me know within 6 hours (im on the west coast so you got some time) as I can get it overnight if you think its worth it. ;P

[Nexus 9 Accessories] natsinicky:
WOW!! That's awful! At least you can get your money back! :) Try an ampen one next, I have that one, and it's pretty good. It is not a fine pointed stylus, but it works as a terrific substitute for your finger, so you get no finger prints. I would check out that one next. :)
[Nexus 9 Accessories] mk92595:
Already ordered a different fine point one. I don't the exact name for it but I will try it out when it arrives tomorrow.

from what i can tell it doesnt support pressure sensitivity on android YET, but plans to and does work as a basic stylus.

yep, however it still functions as a touch device. and i read plans were for them to support android with the additional features.

do you have a nex 9? what apps to take notes (if you do that) are you using with it?

[Nexus 9 Accessories] mbirth:
Should be $39 once it becomes available at ReGear.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] larry567:
Just wondering before i purchase this. Does it work in apps like papyrus.

From the app page:

"Papyrus takes special advantage of active pens on capable devices to provide natural, pressure sensitive handwriting. Just write with the pen and erase with your finger!"

So like instead of palm rejection?

Nexus 9, software and stylus

I just picked up a Nexus 9 and have a Dot Pen stylus. I can't get the stylus to work well at all. I have to hold it almost straight up to make it work and I can't write that way. It works just fine on my iPad Air 2. I've tried Papyrus, Evernote, write and a number of other note apps and it just won't work properly. Can anyone tell me what they are using with the Nexus 9 and Lollipop for both a stylus and note app that is working successfully? Thank you.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] mkygod:
I've used a Note 3 stylus on my Nexus 5 and it doesn't work so I don't think it would work on a Nexus 9 either.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] dtl:
dot pen

Just got the dot pen. Works fantastic on my wife's Ipad Air2. I could install Bamboo Paper on it and that was the test. Bamboo Paper can not be loaded on the Nexus 9 for some reason. I used Lecture Notes for the test. Well the result is not much different from using the normal fat tip non active stylus, clunky, not smooth lines, the old "pre school" look. Bummer, real bummer. I have a Samsung Note 10.1 (2012) and Surface Pro 3 so I can take "normal" notes but was hoping I could use the N9 for as the size is so convenient.

Anyone have better luck?

dave
[Nexus 9 Accessories] auggie246:
no such problems with my dotpen on N9

using lecture notes as well
[Nexus 9 Accessories] dtl:
Wow, wait and you can actually write normally and not have it look like jagged lines? You can draw a circle that is a circle? How? what are you settings?

eager to learn

[Nexus 9 Accessories] simmac:
If you want a cheap stylus that works well, I would clearly recommend taking one with a metal mash tip instead of rubber.

It glides so much better, and you get it for about 10 bucks, es this one for US: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ode=as2&tag=fiabte-20&linkId=SRHPFUWCVDBZDL7K

Or for the EU I can recommend this one, as it is my daily driver stylus: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00...kCode=as2&tag=smtt-21&linkId=K3Z3LOWBL3UJNG3D

Does someone use the onenote app from Microsoft? I consider to take notes with my Nexus 9 during my math class.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] a.gu:
So whats the advantage of getting a higher quality one? They all seem to do the same sort of job; just acting like a pen. I guess I don't get the reason to spend so much on something that just replaces your finger. Your finger is free.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] mk92595:
It doesn't break as easily. You can't take fine print notes with your finger
[Nexus 9 Accessories] ChiTownTech:
I don't why most of these styluses have such wide tips instead of a precision tip. Are they worried about scratching the screen?
[Nexus 9 Accessories] sobaquete:
Some styluses have a pressure sensor which is very useful for drawing/sketching apps: it can imitate the behaviour of a physical pencil, that draws bolder lines when pressed harder.

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

I used to think that was the reason..... that would explain why some of the fine-tip styluses have a plastic or metallic disc around the tip (example).

However, looking at some comments for this stylus, they suggest that there is something needed to activate the touch sensors of the screen that cannot be achieved with just a fine tip (this stylues solves it with something that uses batteries).
[Nexus 9 Accessories] larry567:
look at the lower star comments as well for the dotpen. It seems it may not be all that great.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] marctronixx:
the first thing i do is look at the 1 and 2 star comments to see if there is any consistency in the gripes. those comments held me back on that stylus.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] BigBobb:
Microsoft has set the standard for stylus with the ones that are for Surface. Now if we can get something like that that's universal, it'd be great.:D
[Nexus 9 Accessories] a.gu:
Oh, so they would be more useful to those who use the technology for creative stuff. Good to know, I won't get one, then. Haha, I have no creative capabilities.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] natsinicky:
They are not JUST for creative stuff. You could use it for writing- so you would be writing like pen on paper.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] mkygod:
I've been using the Ampen for a couple weeks now. It's pretty awesome for general use and gaming. I've been playing Skyforce with it and it is just as responsive as my finger and there is very little friction due to the fabric tip. It just glides super smooth.

It comes attached to a little lanyard thing where you can actually insert one end of it to your headphone port which secures it surprisingly well.

Only thing i didnt particularly like was that the paint finish on it is very glossy. I would have preferred a more matte finish.

Tis a shame I lost the damn pen. But it worked like a charm. I used it with note taker HD and it would convert my chicken scratch writing into font. Perfect for school.

I'm gonna put that on my amazon wish list- and wait for a price drop. I can't see myself paying $30 for a fancy pen.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] Augman:
I dont think that I would use a stylus if I had one... its just one more thing to tote around. I would save the money for a fun app! Then again, if you were interested in getting a stylus for note-taking, Then i would understand the investment. But I just use regular notebooks and pencils/pens. They're a lot cheaper
[Nexus 9 Accessories] avilancaster:
But tablets are cooler than legal pads. :p
[Nexus 9 Accessories] stureiney:

[Nexus 9 Accessories] kendrick8997:
So I heard from CES that they would be making touchscreen tablets that you can just use ANY pen or pencil to write on. Thoughts?

[Nexus 9 Accessories] e.chronix:
I recently bought the Wacom bamboo Duo. It works pretty well but for some reason it works flawless on my N5. Do not get the solo it works way worse than the duo.

I don't know if my screen protector is the one to blame for the random hiccups but so far it's 98% accurate.

Plus the carbon fiber tip slides perfectly on the screen.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] natsinicky:
You say it works "flawless" but it doesn't work that well? I'm sorry, I don't understand.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] e.chronix:
Flawless as in touch responsiveness. On the N9 there might be sometimes where you have to press hard to register a touch response but on the N5 the slightest touch will register it so it makes navigating a lot easier.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] natsinicky:
Oh, so you're saying that it is a good thing?

Good yes, perfect no. But close (in regards to the N9)

The feature should be exposed to the system through com.nvidia.feature.DirectStylus permission, I think

I'm coming from a Galaxy S3 running CM11. I don't use my phone for anything super crazy. I like to take pictures, I run/skate with it using the GPS, listen to music, browse the web, message, phone calls. I don't really watch video or movies much. It seems like this is the best phone for me, but I can't tell if all the hubbub about broken backs, cracks, camera issues, whatever, are real or just exaggerated. The only thing that makes me question is the issues with rooting and how it messes with some of the phone's functions. I love using TiBu and Xposed, but that's really all I use root for, and could probably live without them, if needed.

Anyone want to help an indecisive guy decide on his next phone?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FSRBIKER:
I went from someone that roots every device on day 1 and flash nightlies to rooting only for Xposed Gravity Box and Titanium Backup on my Moto X, which then made me run stock software and Xposed/TB on my Nexus 7. After having this phone for just over a week I can say I don't really miss Xposed GB and I really do like Sony's UI. I do hope to have root someday for Titanium and possibly to use GSAM Battery app(or similar) to find any misbehaving(wakelock) apps if needed.

That being said I don't think I've been happier with a phone than the Z3 Compact, best battery life(by far), best camera(by far), perfect size imo and Sony added some useful and fun apps imo. I do have a TPU case and just installed a Glass Screen protector, I always use a case and love glass screen protectors so that gives me some added protection. I'm hoping some of the bigger case manufacturers start making some cases to offer more choices, but in reality I always end up with a good TPU case in the end. Magnetic charging is a big plus, couple that with Wifi file transfer if needed and you really never have to open the ports.

If you are buying from Sony US site you can get further discounts by being a student or I heard say your buying it for a student, as well as a $100 credit for opening/using a Sony Visa. I bought from Clove and imported to the US, I had a great transaction and wouldn't hesitate to order from them again in the future.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xShin:
I used to be big into rooting, and I'd always be flashing a new ROM and kernel at least once a week. I ordered my z3c as soon as Clove had it available for pre-order, and I've been very happy with it since then. Initially, my battery life wasn't exactly living up to all the hype (I was getting roughly 4 hours SOT with ~15 hours off the charger); per someone's suggestion in one of the threads on xda, I wiped my phone and reinstalled the firmware using the Sony PC Software. Since then, I've been getting 6+ hours SOT with over 2 days off the charger. Haven't had any issues with the camera (granted, the front camera isn't amazing), but for what you're going to be using it for, I'm sure you'll be fine. Ultimately, it's your decision - however, I say get it!
