[Nokia X] __PUMA__:
Q. Hello guys, this is my first time here and I hope experienced users would be able to guide me. Firstly I recently bought a Micro SD Card of 32GB for my Nokia XL however I am not able to install apps on the external memory card nor can I move them to the external memory card. Now I know that to do this, I would need to root my phone. The easiest way was to use the Nokia x Manager which apparently is not working anymore with the newest update of v. 1.2.3.2

So can someone please guide me as to how I can root my Nokia XL since I've already updated my phone to the above version. Space is becoming a problem for me and I really want to install some apps on the external Memory card. Thanks in Advance.

Sincerely,

PUMA.

and

siwp in external Memory use "GL to SD(root)" app

or you can

use "root exploer" app root:system:etc:open file with text editor vold.emmc.fstab and file vold.fstab and change emmc /storage/sdcard0 to emmc /storage/sdcard1 and down sdcard/storage/sdcard1 change to sdcard/storage/sdcard0

thank you and sorry my very bad eng:o
[Nokia X] __PUMA__:
No problem, the fact that you're trying to help even though you're english is not good. I appreciate it. However the bad thing is that I have read that many people can't seem to root once it has been updated to the latest version (1.2.3.2). So I am worried about that part other than that - thanks for the memory part, too bad I can't do the step until I finish the rooting of my phone. I don't want to damage my phone :/

On the screen after you first start the phone, do not log in to google, when you get to the part to connect to wireless or 3g data, deselect both checkboxes to not connect to any, then give following will appear them warning that no startup options will be disabled but it is normal.

Coming from a galaxy S3, there were apps, including one called "Galaxy charging lite",

which measured how fast the charger charges the phone's battery (mah rate).

I can't find an app which works the same for the LG G3.

Does anybody know of an app which measures the mah rate in the LG G3?

Hello!

While this may seem like a newbie question for the seniors, here goes..

Can i edit my ROM to remove some files that i consider useless for me ? I know how to extract the ROM and of course i can edit the extracted data/files, but how do i like put it back on the device?

Thanks.

PS: I am using i-mate JAMin with AKU2.13.9.23 WWE

EDIT: I Googled for "Editing ROMs" and came up with Hex Editors and Zophar's Domain. Does it have to do anything with what i want?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Pandawg:
As the title says I'm thinking about selling my Note 3 and getting the Z Ultra. I was looking the GPE because I really love stock Android, but it's really hard to find. Is it possible to just get an unlocked Z Ultra, and flash a GPE ROM? Also how's the battery life on the phone?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
As of yesterday I think all the new GPe's have been sold out, so that leaves the c6802 or the LTE c6806 (US) or the LTE c6833 (Int.).

The ported GPe ROM runs well on either device. The battery is ok - it is powering a 6 & 1/2 inch screen on a 3000mA battery though.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Pandawg:
Is it easy to root and install the ROM? Sorry for all the questions.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Yeah 4.4.4 roots easy, read the stickie in the general section. The GPe port installs like any ROM
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Pandawg:
Okay awesome thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Eddiemc:
I did just that.

The ultra is cheep now, so it's good value for money. I also wanted a bigger screen and waterproofness, so for me it was a good choice.

Beware:

Remember the camera is really really poor on the ultra. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Also the battery is worse, but not that bad compared to the screensize. The Note3 can also be used one-handed, with the ultra not a chance, and the ultra doesn't feel as good in the pocket as the Note 3.

The stupid Sony shatterprotection scratches like it's no tomorrow, and the oleophobic coating wears of quickly, so unless you plan on removing it, expect a very "scratchy lookin" screen after only a few months.

If those things above doesn't bother you, no problem. You'll be happy with the ultra.

(you can remove the shatterproof layer, and you can get liquid oleophobic coating on eBay)

Especially if you like to run cm or as you mentioned aosp, you'll have a lot better base with the ultra. Less problems: Note3 vs ultra both running cm11: you'll have approx one hour less screentime but a lot more stability on the ultra.

My main reason was: Big screen, waterproof, and CyanogenMod.

Now I'm happily running cm11 (waiting for 12) on my huge screen device, not worrying about rain but carrying a charger in my pocket?

Right now if I was you i might consider nexus 6, but it'll be a lot more money. The ultra is really cheap atm.. Best of luck.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
I've never experienced any of that ^^

I bought an ultra, traded for a note 3, then traded my n3 for the ZU again I'm happy it has the GPE rom. But the camera is the only flaw. I hardly use it... I mainly use it for games, and netflix. ZU>N3

I made a video unterwater in salt water.

what i figured out:

- it's hard to start / stop video with wet fingers

- the zoom factor sometimes changes by water

- after a while, the s5 told me i connected the headphones - maybe becaus of the saltwater

- the headspeaker sound terrible the next hour

- mic seams like not really working under water

after cleaning it with regular water, the phone still told me i have connected a headphone - after aprox. 1 hour everything was ok.

hi , it`s very weird that i see in most phone there is some .thumbdata3 with a huge MB !!

it`s thumbnail right ? it`s a image cache !! but in many times i see the very big size of it from 1 to 2 GB !! on Internal memory

all my picture on the phone is lower than 500 MB and even if i have (2000 pics from all apps like viber , whatsup , ... ) the thumb size must be under 50KB for each image so it should be under 500 MB !! so where this 1 or 2 GB cache file thumb come from ??

it`s not matter that i remove this file cause when i enter gallery again this file create with the same size !!

i try to replace the .thumbdata3***** with another file , but it seems gallery regenerate this file and replace this file too !!

now i think about changing permission of .thumbdata3 but i cant do this with root explorer but the change permission not work cause my phone is not root !

do you have any idea how can i do this without root ??

is there any tutorial to how remove default gallery of android and replace that with Quickpic ??

i can disable gallery from app manager or open quickpic for view but when i what to add photo from viber or line or whatsup they open default gallery and the .thumbdata3 will create and my phone storage full again !!

I think the Android must do something about caching Image and video thumbail system it`s act like a bug , the thumb size is too big for a thumb size and not refresh to regenerate after a while ( cause some photo removed and thumb still in this file)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livanpinar:
I have root on my device, so I did the following.

Using Root explorer I went to the folder /DCIM/.thumbnails (hidden) and deleted the huge file. Then with the "+" I chose New file and named it the same as the previous .thumbdata3-.... it created a file that is 0 Bytes and then I went and used the camera and the apps, so far the file stays the same size, so maybe that trick will work for others too. Good luck.

Don't think you can access it without root though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnchippa:
For internal storage file permission change Go to / data/media/0/folder

The best n easiest way to do it is...

If u want to change the permission of file in your internal storage then just open root explorer ( I assume it already rooted) navigate to /data/media/0/(yourfolder)/(yourfile)

N long press n change the permission..Voila good u did it!!

Now here for thumbnails use root explorer go to /data/media/0/DCIM/.thumbnails/.thumbdata3** long press n change it to read-only I.e tick only read only choices n save!!Bang!!

This is basically due to some of them have Fat32 Filesystem format while they r in storage/sdcard which are different than Linux/UNIX file system permissions!

So if u go through /data/media/0/ then it's in ext3/ext4 format which is why u can change the permissions!!??

On the other hand, what if I need to go back to original 640X480 size of screen, is it possible?

thanks.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] hbahaie:
yes, it is due to the Arabizer, u should disable arabizer before converting to realVGA mode. Now all what u can do is going to ozvga by clicking on its icon from programs, the ozVGA screen should be activateed even u cannot see it, now try to predict the site of reset button it shoud be in the upper left quadrant, click on it blindly, and the device will soft reset in normal mode. u may need to try several times untill u success.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
Odin will fix it.

Flash the stock ronin Odin. All your user data will be (sort of) removed.

A skilled user could still recover your user data' but most people won't even know its there.

You will not need the phone's screen to work at any point in the Odin process.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmniSlyfer:
Oh ok perfect :)

I've just finished to flash the stock rom, I hope evrything worked fine. I'll try to install Kies3 to see if I can maybe do another wipe or something else to delete definately all my data inside (including photos etc...). Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
Odin will wipe the data as well as Kies will.

But neither really removes the data. Both just remove the directory structure which makes it easy to sort the data.

To really remove the data you need to overwrite it with new data. That is much more difficult to do without access to the screen on the phone.

You could do it in recovery with the device mounted via usb to a computer. But you generally need to select that in recovery using the touch screen.

You can also push data to the device to overwrite using adb, but its more difficult.

All in all though...unless you have evidence of your participation in a crime on the phone, don't be so worried about it. It will be okay.

From my experience, flashing stock firmware with Kies DOES NOT wipe the user data/files from phones SD card. I have to always do factory reset from stock recovery to wipe it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
It wont ever wipe the external sd card

The internal sd card should depend on the tar file and if it formats that partition or not.

I never really paid attention to it myself because I have never had to flash a full stock restore on my S4 so I have no idea what the standard for S4 firmwares is.

The internal data partition though should be wiped with a full stock firmware in odin every single time.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomtro74:
Well, it's not. Believe me. I used to flash stock rom on S4 number of times and I can confirm that flashing stock rom with Odin DOES NOT WIPE any user data.
