[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reyxlp:
Went from Ultra Maxx Dev Ed to Moto X Dev Ed.

Love the clean, mostly bloat-free X but the battery blows. I was getting two full days of the Maxx with still 10-15% whereas on the X I am down to 10-15% after 8 hrs.

So- I would love to run the X firmware on my Maxx, stock as possible, just BL unlocked (Dev Ed) so I can root and enable native tether/hotspot.

If anyone would be willing to point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

Seems like there's more than one firmware and way to do it so I'd be grateful for a little guidance.

Oh, and I want to run 4.4.4.

Thanks to anyone willing to help!

Would this be the best way to go for what I'm describing? --> http://xdaforums.com/droid-ultra/orig-development/4-4-4-snakes-venom-4-4-4-port-build-64-t2828366

I had Venom on my Maxx Dev Edition 4.4.4 (23.3.23) and it worked perfectly. Just understand what the additional zips do before you flash them....if you're trying to stay close to stock.

I just switched back to stock using Samurai's RSDFlasher once the 23.3.24 update (and FXZ!) was released.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reyxlp:
Thanks!

May I ask why you went back to stock? Were you not happy with that firmware?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaocagomez:
the easiest option to do that its flashing Snake's Venom Rom, because its basically Moto X Firmware adapted to maxx, thats the way to go.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bendrum30:
Sorry for the delay. I just wanted to keep my device up to date. No reason other than that. It was really great firmware. No bugs that affected me. Take the plunge.

[Android Apps and Games] kamishki:
I am looking for an app that will use a portion of the Android screen as a touchpad but NOT for remote control of a PC host. I have similar functionality on X2 and the Horizon Client where in "touchpad" mode a cursor is displayed on the phone and the cursor is moved my moving your finger on the screen. When you run of space or reach....you can just life your finger and place it down elsewhere and you can continue to move.

again....the X2 and Horizon clients have this feature for when you are remote controlling a PC host. It is sometimes quite useful. For me...this would be a great solution for one handed operation-I've searched and not found what I'm looking for. Has anyone ever found an app like this.

[Android Apps and Games] kamishki:
No.

I would like to display a cursor and be able to use 1/4 of the screen to move the cursor on the Phone's screen. This way one could use one hand and use their thumb to guide the cursor to "touch" any part of the screen.

As indicated, the Horizon Client for VMWARE does this when you access a virtual host. I works quite well. A section of the screen acts like a touchpad and a cursor can move anywhere based on movements in the touchpad section of the screen.

This is very good solution for when a person has one hand available (like standing on a train) and wishes to work the phone.

Great work on the SlimKat build, it looks really slick and doesn't CTD as much as the JB ROM I was running previously.

Two questions:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Asilano:
You need to edit your build.prop file, as mentioned in the main thread. When I tried this, I ended up breaking the boot for a while, until I figured out it was a permissions problem; so be careful. The following process works for me.

Connect your phone, with USB debugging on. You'll be using

adb

to fiddle with the files. At a command prompt, type:

adb shell

That will give you a shell prompt in your phone. Now type:

cd /system
cp build.prop build.propbak
sed -i s/ro.sf.lcd_density=.*/ro.sf.lcd_density=180/ build.prop
exit

The second line is backing up the existing build.prop, so you can put it back if you get into trouble. The third line edits the build.prop in place, replacing the line that sets the display density with one set to 180. That makes it look right for me. Values between 180 and 280 should definitely work; larger number, larger icons.

Then reboot, and you should be back to a good size.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DmaxGuy:
Can't stop "NetworkLocationService" and "Google Messaging Service"

Both of these (NetworkLocationService & Google Messaging Service) are constantly running. It says "This service was started by its application". Any way to tell which application starts these services? When I stop them, they pop right back up (within 30 seconds or so). I read through some other posts and see that if Google location services, or the Standalone GPS services are active then the network location service will also be active. However on my phone (Droid 3, Android 2.3.4), I have all my location services turned off (Google, GPS, Standalone, and VZW (Verizon) all off).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
The network location is from your carrier it is needed by the phone apps. The second is your messaging. Both are tied together.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DmaxGuy:
So are you saying that even if I have my Verizon messaging off that service still needs to be running? Also, what messaging are you referring to? MMS messaging? If it's email, I don't use a gmail email account.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yes the mms messaging. Those 2 will always be running.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DmaxGuy:
Ok zelendel, I got you (and thanks for the responses, but I I'm still confused. I also noticed that there was a "Google Play Services" process loading as well (and had a ton of services associated with it). I uninstalled it and now these two (NetworkLocationService and Google Messaging Service) don't pop right back up! However, they do seem to reappear after a few hours. So after reading your response, I stopped them and then have both, sent and received, mms messages and they haven't popped back up yet. Is there anyway to tell specific function causes them to reload?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You would have to have a running log cat to see what's causing those to activate. Odd that Google play services activated the messaging one. Unless it's parts of Google's cloud messaging feature. Network location is understandable as that tells it which store to load for country based apps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DmaxGuy:
Is this from the adb logcat command? I have a log file and it does show plenty of NetworkLocationService lines, but I have no idea what I'm looking at... Can you give me some additional advice on what specific steps I should take to figure this out?

I thought this was a bit odd myself. All of this is interesting and has raised my curiosity level.

Thanks again for all your help!
[X 2014 General] Al936:
First of all: Tools to be used in this guide were developed by user And_pda from Russian 4pda.ru forum. So all credits must go for And_pda.

The original thread (in Russian) is here. Actually the original thread is about several tools to works with different images for different phones. But we will talk only about Moto X 2014.

The guide will describe how to extract all files from system partition from stock firmware. The tools works under Windows (I personally tested them on Win 7).

As an example we will use FXZ for Brazilian firmware RETBR_XT1097_4.4.4_KXE21.187-30.3_cid12_CFC.xml.zip - the only full firmware available at the moment.

If you unzip stock firmware you will get 5 files, which represents system partition: system.img_sparsechunk.0, system.img_sparsechunk.1, system.img_sparsechunk.2, system.img_sparsechunk.3 and system.img_sparsechunk.4.

There are two steps to be performed to get system file extracted.

Step 1 - it will convert 5 files (system.img_sparsechunk.0, 1, 2, 3, 4) into temporary file system_motoX2.img:

1. Download Sparse-to-Img.zip and extract it.

Lets assume that it is extracted to C:\Sparse-to-Img. If not you have to modify ConvertMotoX2.bat file.

You have to edit the string set wf=C:\Sparse-to-Img\Cygwin\ according to path where you extracted archive.

2. Copy ConvertMotoX2.bat to the folder where stock firmware is unzipped (i.e. where system.img_sparsechunk.0, 1, 2, 3, 4 are located)

3. Run CMD and "cd" to the folder where where stock firmware is unzipped

4. In CMD run ConvertMotoX2.bat. File system_motoX2.img will be created.

Step 2 - it will extract all files and folders from system_motoX2.img:

1. Download ImgExtractor.zip and extract it.

2. Create directory System in the folder where system_motoX2.img is located;

3. Copy ImgExtractor.exe into the folder where system_motoX2.img is located;

4. Run CMD and "cd" to the folder where system_motoX2.img is located

5. In CMD run the following: ImgExtractor system_motoX2.img System

After ImgExtractor finished you will have all system files and folders in System directory.

That's all :)

PS. ImgExtractor also can extract files from modem firmware (i.e. form NON-HLOS.bin)
[X 2014 General] Nochnoy:
So, this can be done to manualy re-lock bootloader, right? I quoted the steps needed to get .img that would be use to flash using fastboot and before fastboot lock, right? If I'm wrong let me know and I'll delete this post, so it doens't confuses anyone.

Thanks,
[X 2014 General] Al936:
I am sure that flashing temporary file system_motoX2.img will not allow you to manually re-lock bootloader. And I do not recommend to flash it.

Android on S8600... yes... for testing/developing...

Fully functional like S8500/S8530... NO

"Installing" Android on S8600 is possible WITHOUT JTAG... with QPST + USB cable + brain...

JTAG is better/safer to have... as many Bugs + not working + not supported

If something kills Bootloader or Boot progress... you need mandatory JTAG to recover/repair... otherwise no Key combination, no Download Mode JIG no Software help anymore...

S8600 is cheap old device...

Halfdamaged S8600 are cheaper...

So less then 50 $ or Euro... not much money for try...

[Android Apps and Games] Rae Ayanami:
Not really, no. You might be able to get one of the old archaic builds of Garry's Mod (back in the early days of Source) so you can have a Physgun, but you definitely wouldn't be able to play modern Garry's Mod unless the creator converted his .dll files to a friendlier format.

That or, if Gmod is already released on Linux, someone could take a looksie and see of they could reverse engineer any of the files. But even then, the chances of that working are slim, since Gmod runs on the latest version of course, whereas I'm sure that the SHIELD version is a port of Source 2006 or earlier.
[Android Apps and Games] nex86:
The files also needed to be compiled for ARM architecture, just the .so libraries from the linux version won't help.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tahoeflyer:
I currently have the Cingular 8525 and recently went down to Baja for a week. I had the phone function on to let me know when a call came in and then would go to the local internet cafe, switch the phone function off using "flight mode", confirmed phone function was off in "Comm Manager" and looking at "Settings/WLAN Settings" for the WiFi establishment.

I would then use Skype on the WiFi network to make calls back to my cell phone carrier to retrive messages.

Upon returning to the U.S. and reviewing my usage on the Cingular Web page I find that I have "Roaming Data Charges" to the tune of about $120. I have talked to Cingular and they were perplexed as to how the data charges were incurred if the phone funciton is turned off. HTC technical services were equally perplexed. HTC came up with the solution of pulling the sim card out to totally disable the phone function while still allowing WiFi access. In the states I have unlimited data access so this is not an issue, but since I travel abroad frequently, this could get costly without a simple solution (pulling the sim card out each time is not a simple solution).

Is there anychance that one of the following apps are allowing my phone to indicate that the phone is in flight mode (phone disabled) while still broadcasting in GSM/UMTS.

All thoughts on the subject are appreciated

Phone: Cingular 8525

Apps: PTTfix.cab

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Guest69:
Not sure if this helps, but after a couple of rediculously high months of data usage on my Orange UK contract, for two months I did not use any data features on the phone unless it was docked with my laptop, using it's broadband connection to browse on the phone. The opposing arrows signal was showing, signifying that my tytn was using the laptop's connection. My bills still show high usage, I had NoData running, blocking all Gprs usage.

Is it possible for the sim card to be still recording the data transfer and wrongly charging me for the usage? I have tried speaking to Orange about this but each time they have not understood what I'm talking about.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lurker0:
I'd sugggest you to try Spb GPRS Monitor.You need to play with it to tune it right way. It allows to monitor up to 5 different connections, and have a Today plug-in and an indicator in the top bar to show the activity. It helped me a lot by signalling that my phone uses GPRS instead of WiFi (no, I never even heard of GPRS/UMPT in flight mode!).

I have it set up to monitor GPRS for two SIM cards I have, connection via USB and BlueTooth. For any other type of connection (incl. WiFi) it does not indicate anything. Quite enough for troubleshooting, and also to understand your bills.

Probably there are similar apps, I never tried them.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tahoeflyer:
Thanks for the suggestion on SPB GPRS Monitor.

I put the SPB GPRS Monitor on the phone and low and behold apparently any time the system kicks into the GPRS data mode, and it seems to do this on its own every once in awhile you get charged for the link whether you use it or not. SPB GPRS Monitor does a good job of letting you know if your not paying attention to the Martini Glass icon up top.
