[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxdc5:
Hey all, wondering if anyone has the update.zip file for the 10/30 Verizon update to Software Build: VS98511C

I have a buddy who's rooted (like me) but is receiving errors trying to install it so I'm hoping this will help. His phone is set up basically exactly the same as mine but only he has had the error and we've exhausted all possibly fixes

Thanks guys
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyber Warrior:
Looking for the same.. Do we have a way to upgrade while keeping root?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjazx:
I am also looking for update.zip for VS98511C.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxdc5:
If you can update via the ota, you will keep root. I did it just fine and it's been reported from others that they haven't had a problem either. My friend's phone is having some sort of unique error that we can't figure out :/
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyber Warrior:
So you kept root while updating? No need to re-root? Any tricks like using root keeper? I never took an ota while rooted so it makes me nervous.. I always manually updated with a rooted version. I have some stuff modified and frozen.. I guess un-doing all my mods and putting things back to stock shouldnt be too much of a pain so i can take the ota. Its always been easier to just flash something though. Maybe i'll wait a few days to see if theres a better way.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePagel:
If you have twrp installed and take the ota you will boot into twrp until you do a twrp terminal hack or tot/kdz back to fresh stock.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcogiudice:
I have twrp installed also. So how do we take the update then without going into a twrp boot loop?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxdc5:
I don't have twrp installed so I'm not sure

I didn't use any tricks or special apps or anything. I saw that others took the ota while rooted and it turned out fine so I just went for it. I figured there's really no scenario I could get into that I wasn't comfortable finding a fix for so I just lazily shrugged and pushed update LOL. I didn't need to worry though as everything updated fine and normal for me.

Again though, I don't have a custom recovery installed so idk how it'll work out with twrp :/
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyber Warrior:
I didnt have a custom recovery..only root with xposed and some other mods. I defrosted anything that i froze.. put back any tinkered system files..uninstalled xposed. I took the ota system update.. Everything is working great and still have root access.

This is stock kitkat rom (4.4.2) rooted, with unsecure boot.img, Kernel is stock. this rom is designed to be flashed via CWM recovery, I also have 4.3 rom setup the same, this is as easy way to reinstall kitkat.

To install place signed_dell_v8_kitkat.zip on micro sdcard or internal sdcard, boot into CWM Recovery, format cache, data, system then navigate to signed_dell_v8_kitkat.zip and install. Once installed reboot to system, select no when asked to fix root, once at desktop setup your tablet as you normally would setup a new install.

Will test rom tomorrow, thanks been waiting for this rom.
[Dell Venue] tomtom1265:
Excellent man I have had small problems with my tablet for a while now, I fasttboot, the system files SDC provides they work, but tablet ran like a walmart buggy that had one bad wheel clunk clunk clunk. Now tablet runs like a race horse.

Do you know why this rom runs better than SDC system and boot.img? I guess I am asking do you guys use same system and boot.img, and if you do does installing via your recovery make the tablet perform better cause your method sets permissions and creates links and so on?

Again thanks man, this is the way I expected my tablet to run, when I bought it, finally I may get some use out of this tablet.
[Dell Venue] vampirefo:
I haven't used fastboot to flash system files on this tablet, I have with other androids, boot.img I have flashed via fastboot, I can't tell any difference in flashing boot.img via fastboot or recovery.

I would think my system and boot.img are the same as SDC, mine were pulled from my tablet, not sure were SDC got his, but seeing both are stock, it would seem reasonable they are the same. My system includes root and I removed recovery-from-boot.p from system., boot.img has been modified to always allow root in adb.

If you were talking about two zip installs I would most likely guess the other person used a kitchen or some auto script to make their rom, these fail on complicated installs like this tablet, Due to the amount of symbolic links.

I make zips install via hand, I go through each folder in system, find and record all symbolic links, add each and everyone to my updater-script ;), I also make sure I link to toolbox if it's linked in stock rom, some people use busybox, this can be a mistake, cause if you upgrade busybox via playstore you could loose all your symbolic links. Causing tablet to be caught in an endless bootlooop, I have seen this happen to people and created them a permission.zip that reset all their permissions correctly, cause they could only boot into recovery.

I have 4.3 rom as well, it's setup to install and run from micro sdcard, dual boot setup.

sent from my kingSing T1 via taptalk
[Dell Venue] joanthanmajh:
can you publish the instruction for setting up dual boot?
[Dell Venue] vampirefo:
I will, once, I get moved and get internet, right now I just use my tablet tethered through cell phone.

I use same method on all my devices, http://www.androidtablets.net/threads/how-to-dual-boot-via-lenovo-a2109.52475/

Basically one just partitions their sdcard, modify boot.img's ramdisk to mount sdcard instead of internal partitions.

Then use adb or flashable.zip to install the rom to sdcard, then to be able to switch between installs flash boot.img via recovery. You have two flashable boot.img on your sdcard, one boots to device other boots to sdcard.

Once move is done, I will upload 4.3 rom and modified boot.img.

2 quick questions!

Will this work with the Dell Venue 8 3840?

Can I use this rooted image to downgrade from 4.4.4?

My story goes like this:

I got the Venue 8 3840. It only comes with 1gb of Ram. Which happens to not be enough for my simple uses (Facebook + web browsing). Let alone my complex ones (gaming).

So when the 4.4.4 update came out, I installed it, thinking it would help. Now things are even worse. I've pretty much stopped using it.

I've followed some instructions via this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/dell-venue/development/guide-how-to-root-android-4-4-4-dell-t2918427

It is supposed flash 4.4.4 rooted using ADB and Fastboot. But when I run a root checker it fails.

Really... I would rather have 4.4.2 rooted as it seemed to be better for performance.

Also. I'm going to do a RAM swap via SDcard on the tablet. I've already done it on my old android phone, and I love the results.

Thank you for your time and effort in creating this image.
[Dell Venue] vampirefo:
No this rom will not work on 3840, only for

3830. The two tablets are completely different.
[Dell Venue] jrak1204:
That's what I thought. Thanks for letting me know so soon before taking the plunge.
[Dell Venue] quevon24:
Do you know how can i downgrade my dell venue 8 3830 to Android 4.2.9 or 4.3? Because there still the bug with 4.4.2 that turns the screen black and you have to lock it and then unlock it to get the screen works normally again.
[Dell Venue] vampirefo:
There are several ways, linking with cell phone is hard for me, look at first post in this thread, I linked to SDC's thread, that thread has images you need to downgrade.

Hello all :o

I am using now custom stock 4.4.4 ROM with white UI, and I want to change UI to black UI with Xperia theme.

I don't want to replace my ROM to Black ROM.

So, Is it possible with Xperia theme ?

I saw new theme on xperiablog and Google play called Blue Note and that theme can change font color:

So, can someone change the font color to white and make black background ?

and If someone did it, does the theme will cause some problems on other apps? like hidden text:silly:

Sorry for my bad English.

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] AltairFriend:
That theme doesn't work well with white UI.

It can't change the font color to white and the background to black!
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Rajeev:
No idea then ;)
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] St.Jimmy90:
If you have root and Xposed installer seach for "Holo themer". It allowes you to change the color of several system apps. With GEM you can force the navbar and statusbar to be black in settings instead of gray
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] AltairFriend:
I am asking if it is possible with xperia theme, because Blue note theme can change font color to blue.

So, why nobody try to edit any stock theme and change font color to white with black wallpaper.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] St.Jimmy90:
If you don't want to try the method I suggested and want it that badly you should try to do it yourself instead of whining
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] AltairFriend:
I am very noob for making theme. I tried before then I stopped because I have to study :p, but If I got free time I will try to learn.

Here I am giving idea for themers/developers. So, they maybe can make dark theme for white UI.

Instead of making black ROM edition, they maybe can make full black xperia theme.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] antonio1475:
You, my friend, just solved my issue: I wasn't able to change the text color with my Lollipop theme. Thanks to the theme you used as an example (Blue Note), I've done it. I'll share the results here later :p

As to your question: everything can be done with a Xperia Theme, including dark background and white fonts. Of course, everything may not fit perfectly and lots of testing is required.

Thank you! :)
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] AltairFriend:
Awesome :o

Blue Note theme is fitting perfectly with apps. So, I think your theme will do the same:fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] antonio1475:
Well I was half wrong... The Action Bar (title bar) text color and the items text color (Wifi, Bluetooth, etc. when in Settings) change altogether, so I can't just change the title bar color to white and keep the rest of the text black...

It works OK on the Blue note theme because everything changes to blue, but not when you want some parts white and some parts black... :crying:

For your dark theme request: you would change the background to black, make the text white, but then you'd go to the dialer and find white text on top of white buttons, "ghost text" as you said.

Sorry... (I'm not an expert themer, so many things slip through my fingers)

:)
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] AltairFriend:
So,what I understand that we can choose only one font for all system parts

and if we want white font, we will need to change that dialer background :mad:

Thank you. You just made a beginning :good: others maybe they can do it. "hopefully"

Can one of you make it?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] AltairFriend:
I think it is not very important to use white font color for dark theme,

because I think it is not possible to change dialer background.

[MENTION=2613262]antonio1475[/MENTION] try to make dark theme with purple font color and purple accent color.

I think it will look nice and it will be first dark theme for white UI :)
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Pablosch23:
you do can change text color in action bar and change dialer background aswell, i dont have my pc right now but if you need help let me know, you just have to override the styles take a look to styling the action bar in android development.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] antonio1475:
I know (guess) I can, but it's not my intention as I'm making a Lollipop theme. I'd love to change just the action bar text color and keep the rest of the text black, would you know anything about that? :P

I bumped into this thread and discovered how to change the text colors, sorry for mixing my project into this request...

[MENTION=4765783]AltairFriend[/MENTION] I can't make themes now, I can't even finish mine, but I encourage you to learn (the best themes are made by yourself, as you can make it yours and as you like), and I'll be glad to assist you :)
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Pablosch23:
yes I know how to change only the text color in the action bar if you can't figure it out just PM me , and about the request... i'll take a look later cause im not into theming stuff anymore nos vemos viejas!

Awesome :D

I hope someone can make this dark theme :)
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] CroNoob:
im stuck with my theme, i have create black theme and now i have to change text color because in settings, message app, etc, background is black and text color is gray so its not that good, if you could tell me how do i chage it to for example white or blue, i was searching through all smali files and i just cant find solution
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Pablosch23:
do you want to change the color only in the themed apps ? if so you have to go to styles.xml and add a new attribute

<item name="android:textColor"=#HEXVALUE</item> in the main app theme... but if you want to change the default text color in every sony app, in framework-res.apk go to res>color>semc_widget_text_color_dark and semc_widget_text_color_light and change the hex values to whatever color you want to use.

It's the other 5% that is correct.

Firewater doesn't work any more, HTC patched the exploit.

there is the Sunshine method made by the same devs that did Firewater. It costs $25, but is guaranteed to work.
