[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Theoriginalgiga:
My 2 cents is this:

Samsung has superior hardware for the most part but Knox is a PITA, touchwiz kills the hardware advantage, their camera app (at least in the S4) was sluggish and pictures could be tinted weird. The size isn't bad at all (had an OG note as well). If you're a jeans kinda person and like slim cases it won't bind up at all. You run into issues with thicker cases though. It looks like from the light skimming I did that they've been able to unlock the bootloader for TWRP and full ROM changes (instead of Safestrapping) so I wouldn't be TOO concerned by that.

The M8 has much better sound, the Sense isn't too intrusive and with a couple simple tweaks the phone screams and you can eliminate all the annoying functions of sense while keeping it relatively stock or you can go totally crazy and brand new ROM, new features and the whole 10 yards. The speakers on the M8, in my opinion are far far better than other devices but that depends on you usage and what you want. Camera I've had no complaints, go check out the thread about pics from the M8 you can really see how the camera takes pictures. IMO it's fast and efficient and pretty decent in lower light conditions. I first worried about a non-removable battery myself, but I change my phone every 2 years and the battery life on the stock rom without the power saver mode is pretty dang awesome. I sync multiple push accounts on my phone with a near vanilla ROM and I usually get to about 50% on my phone by the end of the day (8 to 10 hours, streaming pandora for about 3 or 4 hours).

As for Dev community I don't think you'll find a better one than any HTC community. HTC does a great job to make their devices unlockable and keeping the hardware fairly standard. Now someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong, but you should be able to install just about any firmware onto your M8 from any variants of the M8 including the GPE and the like. With such a unified device the dev community can pool together and make truly great things.

The M8 is still very powerful but the N4 is newer and has beefier hardware. I still chose the M8 after running multiple Samsung devices mainly for the community and the versatility of the phone. not to mention an aluminium chassis is very nice too.

here's a good link to help with your decision:

Cool, thanks. I've scoured the web and have read so many comparisons. Most just jot down the specs and say note 4 is the way to go. Very little real world experience.

Thanks for the input though.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureShadow:
So I have a friend who wants me to replace the front assembly of his phone, mainly for aesthetic reasons. The chrome on the bezel around the screen is nearly gone. However, I am having a hard time finding parts for this thing. All the normal places I go to pick up parts only have parts listed for the I9195 and I9190. Are the front bezels of the I9195 or I9190 compatible with the SCH-I435? If not, does anyone know where I can get one?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureShadow:
No I have not.

I am well aware, the problem is finding a screen.

Endless Mage

An Arcade-RPG Endless Dungeon Magic Game!

You'll play as a wizard, in a top-down dungeon, every level is randomly generated.

There is a variety of items / magic / monsters and bosses.

The stronger you'll get the harder the levels will be.

The controls are simple and tamable:

press on the screen to choose the direction of walking / shooting.

Press on the "Fire Mode" button at the bottom left side of the screen

to switch between firing and walking.

The 'Magic' indicator at your top left side of the screen shows

basically how strong your magic is (How strong you are).

The 'Health' indicator at the top right of the screen will show you

how much health is left.

-Each level you get in to recharges your health.

-The game saves your stats and items so it's

possible to quit and continue later at any time.

-In case of being stuck in a level for any reason

press on the menu button at the top left and 'Start' again.

It won't remove your items or magic.

-You will loose everything if you will die.

-The type of magic you use depends on the

gloves you wear, poison gloves fire poison magic for example.

-Wearable items belong to types of magic;

for example, frost hat will add up to frost magic,

wearing a frost hat while firing poison won't help

you out with the damage you wish to do.

The game was made by Benjamin Rokah.

I know this is probably a stupid question, but what happens if you flash a 4GB version with an 8GB partition table?
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
You slap yourself 2 times over the face and do what follows:

1. go here and select your good firmware.

2. download and reflash the correct firmware;

3. reboot the phone;

4. and go ahead with the good firmware in your nice phone!

THIS IS NOT CONFIRMED TO BE WORKING SO FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.​

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS CAUSES YOUR PHONE TO CATCH FIRE, STOP WORKING, OR TRANSFORM INTO A ROBOT

PLEASE LET ME KNOW OF THE ERRORS THAT YOU ENCOUNTER ALONG YOUR WAY TO FLASHING. THIS IS A BRIGHTSTAR RUU.

hey bud, we appreciate new stuff and thank you very much for your contributions. On the other hand this type of stuff should be tested by yourself then released. I know this is just an RUU but still in all promoting flashing this can cause ill effects like partition resizing. this Ruu can also be obtained at http://www.htcdev.com/

thank you very much for your hard work.

Hey there! I put together a complete video walkthrough for converting your FireTV to an XBMC box.

[YOUTUBE]yRoLE79USHI[/YOUTUBE]

This includes:

Root

Preventing Amazon updates

Making XBMC the launcher

Installing apps to XBMC homepage

Demo of Mupen64+(N64 emulator) and Reflector (Airplay)

Remember, if you are buying a new FireTV, make sure to follow the instructions here to make sure it doesn't update to an unrootable version. In short, either block access at the router level, or disconnect wifi / ethernet right after you start the device and connect to the network, before the download of the new version can finish.

Enjoy! Let me know if you'd like me to do video walkthroughs of anything else, like using stickmount, connecting to Windows computers over the network, etc.
[Fire TV General] nyder:
Sweet, nice!
[Fire TV General] mezdev:
Great walk through wish I could use the whole lot.

Mainly using xbmc and its a great improvement on my Pi but as I am in UK no root so a "here's what you can do with unrooted AFTV" vid would nice, having said that the llama trick for short cut works great and I don't think I need much more :D
[Fire TV General] Legolas2:
Great Effort. You should do another tutorial using FireTVUtility. I would be easier, w/o any commands to type directly in adb shell.
[Fire TV General] hotterpop:
I'll look into it. It doesn't look like it really needs any help though- I haven't used this program in particular, but my experience with pc-side all in one solutions is that if they work, they work, and if they don't, there's not much the user can do to fix it. It also seems that the developer is pretty active, so any video I make may be out of date rather quickly. That being said, if other folks agree that there should be a tutorial for this, I'll put it together.

Thanks for passing this utility on, though. Tools like this were essential to me when I started messing with cm 10 on an old phone of mine last year, which extended its useful life until I got my (glorious) OnePlus in July. My experience there really hit me with the modding bug, and I have been messing with android since. The purpose of the video was to help introduce people to the idea that android is open and ready to tinker with, in addition to taking advantage of the FireTV's potential with Kodi. If you have any more requests though, I'd love to hear them, and I'll do my best to fulfill them as time permits :)
[Fire TV General] Kdurahm:
Launcher

Hey, Thx for the awesome Video. Just a question....How do you get it to automatically boot into XBMC? I want to use XBMC as my home screen/launcher like you have shown in your video. I really appreciate it! Thanks!
[Fire TV General] hotterpop:
Correction: HDExposed section

Hey there,

Sorry about the confusion. Looks like in my hasty editing I accidentally cut out a step. I've added an annotation to the video that addresses this, so you should be set if you re-watch minutes 21-25 of the video. I accidentally forgot to include that you need to go into the Modules section of HDExposed and, using a mouse, check the two boxes there as well before you reboot.

Thanks for pointing that out!
[Fire TV General] Berrybare:
This is a great tutorial! Thank you

I have a couple of other fire TVs to root that I'm going to pass off to my friends. If

I complete the root and disable the ota updates at my house, when they plug it in their home, the firetvs won't loose the root right? Should they still add the 2 sites to block

On their router?
[Fire TV General] hotterpop:
Hey there!

Glad you like my walkthrough. If you use the router-level blocking method, it will need to be applied to any and every network the FireTV connects to. This is a great way to guarantee that the FireTV does not update, but should only be considered a temporary method until you can disable updating permanently on the device itself. If you go to around minute 14 of my video, you'll see how to disable the update function on the device itself. This is the only way to guarantee that the device won't update in the future, no matter what it connects to.

Because of the issue with devices connecting and automatically updating to an unrootable version, I'd recommend you do the network-level update blocker (like it sounds like you've already done) and then use the device-level root prevention I described in the video.

Please let me know if you have any questions :)
[Fire TV General] Y314K:
Ultimate protection is having CWM aka custom recovery install. On top of the disabled OTA Update. Both done very easily with the AFTV Utility app mentioned above... Everybody should keep their routers blocking the IP's. Specially if you are going to be working on non-rooted AFTV's. But you can run an CWM'd AFTV on an unblocking router if it can't be helped.

Although I would wait for the next release of both apss (adbFire & AFTV Utility) since so much has change the last 24 hours (unlock bootloader + new CWM). I would love to see a video using the AFTV Utility app to take care of all including the new options. Including the Mount external USB storage script.... It would be massive but all encompassing. I think the only thing waiting for an update is RBox's [XPosed] Mod's... Specifically the menu items part...
[Fire TV General] hotterpop:
Sounds great. Post here when the new software is ready and I will get recording!
[Fire TV General] Y314K:
Great.. Will let you know when it gets posted..
[Fire TV General] mjbxx:
Is there an adb command to verify the "pm disable com.amazon.dcp" status. I ran this command months ago and have had no unwanted updates ruin root on the Fire TV. Perhaps, it is not necessary but just looking to be sure.
[Fire TV General] hotterpop:
I don't know, but if you don't have router level blocking and you haven't received any updates, you are safe. Usually the update occurs quite quickly.
[Fire TV General] swiss_lis:
Sorry for bumping, I just wondered if there was any advance on the new software/video?

I have an untouched UK AFTV and just waiting for this video with new software for the complete start to finish setup before i do something wrong!

Let me know if im better off just following your first video if this new software stuff is not going to be released for a while.

Thanks
[Fire TV General] hotterpop:
My recommendation is always to code by hand. That's how I learned, and I feel like it's a great way to learn about how Android really works. That being said, it's not for everyone, and I understand any nervousness you may have.

I'll probably have the video using the tool by the end of the week.
[Fire TV General] swiss_lis:
Unfortunately im not very technically minded, and would end up messing up unless I followed a guide from someone who knows their stuff!!

I will keep it in the wrapper until you can bring out the new video, id feel a lot safer and not end up bricking it or non rootable forever!

If i can make one request, I really will just want to use the AFTV for XBMC and maybe some emulators... So if its possible to include how to have the quickest access to XBMC from boot, id really appreciate it. Not sure how easily that is done with a non rootable AFTV?
[Fire TV General] hotterpop:
I understand your concern. However, I would definitely consider rooting the device. While you can use XBMC and play emulators on the FTV without root, it is pretty inconvenient. Rooting isn't hard, and shouldn't be something that scares you at all.

If you are willing, my video shows you exactly what to type every step of the way. There's lots of support if you get lost, and you can always ask me questions here- I don't mind looking up documentation for you if you need it. If you have access to your router, once you have blocked the update sites there, you will be safe to take as long as you need to.

I'll try to have the other videos done soon. I wish I had more time in my life right now for stuff like that, but you know we all have to make a living somehow :)

I'll be sure to post in here when the tutorials are done.
[Fire TV General] Y314K:
Those that bought their FTV's in the UK or GER & did not import US FTV's. The best you can hope for right now is block the two IP's so it doesn't keep auto updating. In case there is ever a new rooting option. UK & GER FTV's can not be rooted. You should setup your FTV with XBMC & anything else you would like within the unrooted options.

Once you have properly blocked update IP's & boot up & check your FW version which 99.99% chance it will be 51.1.4.0_user_514006420 (Unrootable) . You should feel safe to play with your FTV...

What router do you have ?? This link just shows you pictures of different IP blocking router interfaces like Tomato, DD-WRT, Asus, NetGear, Untangle, OpenDNS..

http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-block-amazon-fire-tv-update-to-ensure-rooting/

This one tells you what to block now...

http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-setup-a-new-fire-tv-without-blocking-root/

Start enjoying your FTV as soon as you block those IP's correctly after verifying the FW you's came with...
[Fire TV General] swiss_lis:
Want to thank you both for good indepth responses.

I will be giving it a go tomorrow hopefully. Hoping that if i block updates for now then a root option may become available somewhere down the line, but till then i will enjoy the improvement of XBMC on the FTV rather than my rather slow raspberry Pi.

Many thanks guys :)

Problems installing Boot Menu on OUYA

Hi,

I followed the instructions to load CM11 on my OUYA, I flashed CWM 6.0.4.8, Boot Menu v2.0.4, CM11 Nightly, Gapps and the Key mapping zips all from CWM Recovery (latest version) and the OUYA rebooted into CM11, set up all ok, very happy so far.

However it struck me when I rebooted that I didn't get a new boot menu, so I tried flashing again and I don't see any errors it just comes back to recovery and when I reboot there is no boot menu! I did not sideload the files using ADB I flashed the zips from recovery.

Previously when running stock OUYA (rooted) I could not flash recovery and it would not update and I suspect that this was a permission issue as it only worked when I reloaded SU. Is it possible that permissions are blocking the installation of the boot menu and if so how can I fix this?

Please note I am a real Newby by name and just a user, I really have no programming experience but am happy to do whatever to resolve the problem. So any advice is appreciated. Having CM11 is a great improvement.

Cheers

Paul.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newbyp:
Hi All,

I tried to sideload and get this error can anyone advise how I can overcome this?
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newbyp:
Ok I re tried loading the zip from CWM and as before it looks to install without any issue, this time I found the log under advanced and it showed success. I then rebooted and again I don't see the bootmenu.

Do you think that it is possible that it is installed but for some reason not showing up on the TV? I have a suspision that it is loaded and booting after the time out as the screen goes blank for about 10 seconds before the Cynogenmod logo appears. how can I test if I can't see it, does the boot menu respond to the keyboard, if so is it two down arrows and and return to get to recovery?

Cheers

Paul.

[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdaschnapps:
Remember to reboot into the new recovery (6.0.48) BEFORE flashing the bootmenu!

I got that problem as well. It just means that you need to reboot the Ouya once again. You can't flash the new recovery module and the bootmenu zips in one go. Instead you have to flash 6.0.48 while in the older recovery (6.0.32), reboot and then you can flash the bootmenu zip without any error.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerryfath:
I just wanted to note that a couple of TVs I've tried don't lock to the hdmi signal until the boot menu is gone. This means you won't see the boot menu even though it is there and functioning correctly.

If you push the power button once or twice about 3 seconds after you power on the ouya, you will actually be selecting from the boot menu and that will cause the boot menu screen to persist (hopefully) until the TV or monitor locks.
