[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] HLSniper:
I just thought I'd give a quick update: I took the dive this morning and am now running the South African ROM. It was much easier than I thought, but also much more time consuming (waiting for things to complete). :)

Everything seems to be great so far, but I just now noticed that I can't get onto the internet. I guess I'll play with that later. :confused:

I think the most immediately exciting thing for me was seeing the default HTC look when I loaded the ROM. Thank god, no more of that ugly Cingular stuff! It does seem a bit snappier also, but I haven't gotten online to load many things yet.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kwues:
@HLSniper

Look forward to hearing your findings on the ROM...expecting my 8525 this week and looking for the most current stable and efficient/fast ROM. Thanks for your time.

Regards.......

P.S. would you mind posting the ROM version info so I can find it easier...I would like to try it out as well, thanks again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] HLSniper:
Sure; I found the ROM in this thread. Made my first few calls with it loaded since my last post, and I can honestly say that call quality has improved; maybe I'm just having a lucky day with service, but it is definately better today (with the new ROM) than yesterday. I can't speak for stability yet, but it's definately faster than the default that shipped with my 8525.

I'm still trying to figure out the internet issue, but I'm almost certain it's my own foolishness to blame for that.

edit (addition):

I forgot to mention this: when loading the ROM it gave me the default HTC theme, which I personally prefer. This was meant for a model (like the TyTN) that has a video camera on the front, though; when dialing to make a phone call you see a 'video' button that wasn't there with the default 8525 ROM. I'm not sure yet if this can be removed or not. Personally, I don't care as long as things work... but it may annoy some people.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dwcliff703:
I made the upgrade from the 8125 to the 8525 and love the new device. The major benefit is 3G speeds where available (about 4 to 5 times faster than Edge). I don't notice that much difference in processor speeds, because I was overclocking my 8125, but the 8525 is very fast. All the same programs I was using on my 8125 work on the 8525 except the overclocking program. The 8525 also has a few other hardware improvements especially the scroll wheel on the side for faster movement on any screen. Especially if you have 3G coverage I would encourage the upgrade...if you don't have 3G coverage I might advise you wait for a little price reduction from Cingular on the device before you change.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] guyver2077:
thanks for that info....

so there is no way to overclock the 8525?

ims ure the price is still ridiculous on this phone but ill be eligible to upgrade next month so ill see what that offer is they offer..

i might sell my 8125 to make this purchase a little easier
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] HLSniper:
Alright! Just to finish up the thread and avoid scaring new users away from ROM upgrades, the South African ROM is working great for me now. After loading it I had no internet access, but following the setup information in Cingular's support area got me going wonderfully.

All is well, and thank you to everyone who tried to help out! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] motionmind:
You need to also remember that the "x" button on pocketpc's just minimizes the app, so even if you think you're not running too many apps, they will still start to stack up. You should get a task manager program that allows you to see what's running and actually close apps. Personally I use Wisbar Lite, but it's not free and there are a few free alternatives out there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] V@no:
This is a quote from T-Mob section

Do you think this actually would work?

If this is doable, I'd be willing sacrifice on locked bootloader for this price...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] fubar569:
EDIT: Nevermind.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] red_stripe05:
Why wouldn't it work? Its a bit of a hassle, but really not that much work. If you read through the AT&T contract terms and their FAQ section, paying the ETF will allow you to unlock the phone. Like I said in the other forum, why is nobody mentioning this anywhere. Like someone else mentioned, the $200 Best Buy trade in promotion is still going and not just for preorders anymore. My math, if anything, is on the conservative side. The only pain is that you have to wait at least 15 days before paying the ETF and then requesting the unlock code from AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jasonleb1:
Well ****, I might do this. I'll wait to pull the trigger on the offer so the release of the Nexus 6 falls within the return period and if I do it I'll report back (thought I don't know if it'll be much help at that point).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] V@no:
What about remaining balance of phone is due when canceled?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] erick161:
Doesn't apply when you sign a 2 year contract. You put 300 up front for the phone. You're "buying" it...not "leasing it with the option to buy" like with Next. The $350 ETF is to guarantee they recoup most of their money.

And people don't want the AT&T version because It's locked tight unlike the tmobile version (usually anyways)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] red_stripe05:
So like I said, I was probably a little conservative with the ATT costs. IF you get the $200 Best Buy trade in promotion, there's also the possibility of getting the other $50 Best Buy Reward Members trade in promotion as well. The ETF will also likely by a little less since you have to have completed 1 month of service before you can cancel the contract. I'm also figuring the ETF had sales tax applied to it since the AT&T policy language quotes $325 as their base ETF. So really its possible you'd be looking at a total cost closer to $545.

Since I'm with T-mobile in their Jump program, my cost for getting the T-mobile version is $750+$67 tax = $817, and I'm having to pay $10/month for Jump. I think I'd rather just pay the $545 for the ATT version and stop paying for Jump, which has turned out to be a terrible deal. Right now my Note 3 has an EIP balance of $380 that gets wiped clean if I "Jump" to the Note 4. But with all the accessories I've bought for my Note 3 (extra Anker batteries, chargers, multiple cases, etc), and the fact its in perfect condition, I could easily get more than $380 if I were to sell it on Swappa. I really didn't do the math on Jump when I signed up. If I were to "Jump" to the Note 4, I'd be losing out on the $200 trade-in promotion, plus I'd be paying $10/month for Jump for at least another year before I get another good phone. Is it really worth $320+ to stick with the T-mobile "Jump" program for the next year? I don't think it makes sense unless you know you'll use the insurance component of Jump.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jasonleb1:
The other $50 promotion ended on the 18th.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] soraxd:
i did this with att but instead of 1 phone i got 5 lines on my plan then canceled 3 (there's only 2 of us on my plan), so the other 3 went straight to ebay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] V@no:
And final question, does ATT allow more then one account per person? I already have one with unlimited plan..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jordant2:
Yes I have two accounts with them.

If you guys could switch from z2 right now to any phone what would it be? Share
[Xperia Z2 General] ghostofcain:
There isn't really a phone I'd swap to.
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
Another Z2, but only because this hypothetical switch would give me an extra couple of months' warranty. ;) There's nothing out there which remotely compares to this phone other than the Z3, and most of its advantages will likely be in the Z2 soon, too. And personally, I prefer the styling of the Z2 over the Z3.
[Xperia Z2 General] ghostofcain:
Ha ha hadn't thought of that, a purple Z2 for me then

[Xperia Z2 General] ianrobbie:
Pretty much the same as everyone else.

I've only had my Z2 for a few weeks, but as far as I'm concerned, I don't want to swap for another phone, even a Z3.

Like some of the other guys, I prefer the styling of the Z2 and, thanks to Niaboc79's ROM, I have most of the Z3's bells and whistles anyway. HD Audio and a slimmer design just aren't enough of a reason to upgrade to a Z3 and there's nothing else out there that catches my eye.
[Xperia Z2 General] 3f1f37:
For me...

If my Z2 was completely irrepairable or stolen & I had to claim for it...

A M8, the M8 was my 1st choice but it wasnt available until after 2 weeks after I had already opted for the Z2.

I owe [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] the credit for making me not regret getting the Z2...

He has single handedly unleashed the dormant potential of this device.

I only used HTC devices prior to getting the Z2 and HTC custom ROM development is on a level of its own.

We are extremely lucky to have niaboc,

Kudos to him
[Xperia Z2 General] ldorbin:
Think I would consider an LG G3
[Xperia Z2 General] muhammadshais:
That will be available in the next update for z2... Right??
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Id probably swap for a Z2 with a 4.4.4 FTF on the internal storage :P

In other words im happy with Z2 :D
[Xperia Z2 General] A|ex:
You will need to wait until March / April time for the next batch of phones. After how Sony treated the Z2 i do not think i will ever touch a sony phone again.
[Xperia Z2 General] Jiyeon90:
Are you talking about his ROM? Can it be flashed on locked bootloadrers?

Sent from my Xperia Z2
[Xperia Z2 General] 3f1f37:
Yes, [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION]'s ROM is the single reason I have got a M8, REAL TALK!!!!!

Check out NUT's dual recovery for locked bootloaders, ist a combination of a stock kernel with a custom recovery.

There are threads in the Z2 forums that detail the process.

I have a unlocked bootloader, so I just smash & flash...

It's hardware related not software so unfortunately we won't get it.

But I'm sure we will get all the other features

Is it the DSEE HX thing? If it is, according to the leak 4.4.4 rom, the Z2 will get it also

[Xperia Z2 General] ghostofcain:
Quite the opposite, it's just that the Z2 ticks all the boxes for me, but at a push the M8 or Nexus 6 would suffice.

thanks for the reply...:

i have no idea..im new in android...

:confused:

ROMs

Stock ROMs (& leaked stock ROMs)

Stock ROMs (or leaked stock ROMs) can be flashed like this:

Download and unpack onto your micro-SD Card like that: /mnt/sdcard/dload/UPDATE.APP (some ROMs also have UPDATE_CUST.APP, copy it to the same place. If you're update has a second dload_cust (or the like) folder, you need to flash it in a second round just as the first one, by renaming it to "dload")

Turn off Fast-Boot, and shutdown your phone. If you don't know how to turn off Fast-Boot, pull the battery (it can be found in different places in different ROMs)

Press and hold volume-up, volume-down and power-button at the same time.

If everything above was done correctly, you should be able to watch your phone upgrading now.

can someone teach me how to do it

by pink screen or usb debugging only...?

I'm making an app that translates adult jokes. I'm wanting to put ads in the app but not sure if I'm going to run into any issues from the ad network for the content. I've tried contacting a couple to ask, but never get a response back. I know that adult ad networks exist, but I'm afraid I may have issues publishing to the Play Store if I put them in the app. There's no images in my app just adult vocabulary.
