[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RockRatt:
I will try to help with a few of these questions, but others I am not familiar with very much. On that note DO NOT update your bootloader!!! It will be locked down further and Loki will NOT WORK. And you could NOT flash any kernels with safestrap. So with safestrap ONLY the stock kernel can be used. Now on to your questions...

1) I am using TWRP 8.1 if I remember correctly. You can find it in the Original Android Development section. It does NOT Auto Loki, so keep the loki-doki flashable zip on your sdcard OR use Roms that already have/use the boot.Loki kernels like ShoStock-i 8.1

2) Modem flashing will NOT lock anything up further as far as the bootloader. You can flash ANY or ALL of them from my modem thread. See which works BEST FOR YOU in YOUR AREA. I am in So Cal and the best for me has been either MDL. But I have and do test ALL of them. You can always flash back to whichever one works best for you.

3.) Like I said I use ShoStock-i 8.1 because it has and does EVERYTHING I need my phone to do and does it without any issues. I have NOT tried to use a Safestrap modified ROM so I have very little experience with that. Normally most devs will have two separate versions, one for safestrap compatible and one for us without safestrap. ShoStock-i is already built with Loki in the kernel so you do not NEED to flash Loki-Doki patch.

4) there are NO Touchwiz 4.4.4 Stock Roms for ATT yet. But I did try out one of the Touchwiz 4.4.4 T-Mobile based Roms and it worked perfectly. You can either get it from the ATT forums and I believe it is already lokified, or get it from the T-Mobile forum and make sure to flash Loki-Doki patch before booting up phone after flashing the ROM. Again the will NOT update your bootloader past your MDL bootloader, so you are good as you are with no worries. By the way on ShoStock-i 8.1 the screen casting to Chromecast works PERFECTLY without having to flash any other .apk's or mess with ANYTHING

This is the exact same boat I'm in. Trying to track down the answers as well. Will keep an eye here as well to watch for answers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Norcalz71:
awesome reply thanks RockRatt, that just about covers it. I will maybe give the ShoStock ROM a go and see how I like it. As long as all the normal features are working fine, I should be good.

One last thing I forgot - Odin. I have the stock odin firmware files from when my phone was new (The MDL package). As long as I dont update the bootloader, I should be able to Odin back to the brand new in box state should something go awry or not dig the other ROMs, correct?

Thanks again,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RockRatt:
Yep. Just don't update the bootloader...So no flashing newer firmware that contains the bootloader files. Most if not all custom Roms do not have the bootloader files in them. So no problem flashing back to MDL stock if the need never arises. I still in fact have the original MDB bootloader installed that came with the phone before the MDL firmware update.

hey i had a question on where i could try and find a note 4 t-mobile without buying it. i normally just look for phones on craigslist and trade some cash and my current phone, are there any other places that work like that? and as a second question is the t-mobile model's bootloader locked or no.

thanks guys.

ps. sorry if i posted in the wrong place..

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subflex8:
i cant afford throwing out 700$ for a new phone so i normally trade for it, like i have a galaxy s5 att model and want the note 4 so i normally just trade someone my current phone along with like 300$ in cash so its not like im asking for a place to get them for free.. jeeze im 16 but im not retarded...

i just do a complete wipe of everything first of course. regardless, don't have to be so mean about it.

[Sony Xperia M] gerkin14:
Hi all,

I've got the C1905 Xperia M.

Overall I'm very fond of it...

A few problems too... Kinda disappointed that it didn't get 4.4 I was looking forward to that update...

I think it's kinda lagging for its capabilities, internal space is poor, would like apps on sd card. The only problen is I'm unsure of the technical "terms" involved in this and I know its risky!

I'd like to get more information on the different types of ways of increasing capabilities on my phone... WITHOUT bricking it!

Like bootloader, flashing and flashing.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia M] syedafzal.shah:
without rooting?... Hmmm..... may be your device is having a lot of background running apps , thats why its lagging. Try Greenify app ... it will stop background running apps and your device will work fast.... and try Nova launcher too...

Hit THANKS if I helped you :)
[Sony Xperia M] chkc.sonu:

I want to root my phone but I'm afraid of bricking it...

If you could specify my options that would be great! :)
[Sony Xperia M] adneon0:
No need to worry bro.. just follow step by step instructions everywhere ..nothing else :o :D ;)

and even if device gets bricked..theres nothing to worry..just flash firmware (.ftf) by flashtool.

Here you go..Basics

1. ROOT:- http://xdaforums.com/xperia-m/general/towel-root-steps-to-root-t2789990

2.For bootloader unlocking:- http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/

3.To flash recovery install minimal adb and fastboot and then paste any recovery flie(.img) which you need to flash in the installed folder and then open cmd window in that directory and type the commands as in the screenshot (Note rename "boot.img" to your recovery name)

and if you wish to increase internal storage then follow the Storage Swapp[ing guide:- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2711280

Just follow these steps to get freedom :silly: :p :highfive:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lukk1989:
Hi!

In a couple of days I will have an external bluetooth GPS device. I can pair it with my Nexus 5 so I have better GPS. The only downside is that it has to enable 'mock gps location', so I cannot use it with certain apps.

Is there a way to make the device think it's using the external gps as an internal one? So you don't have to enable mock gps location anymore. I heard cynagonmod had something like that? Or is there another way to do this?

Thank you :)

It looks like there is no love for Otterbox cases here. Such a shame that as great as 1+1 is it won't have waterproof case.
[ONE Accessories] OneStepAhead:
Well I think the reason why is Otterbox is not a best in class product anymore. Many competitors have creeped out of the woodwork and stole their thunder. I think for most, Otterbox is way overkill, and this phone is already very large. Phones just don't need nearly as much protection as what the Defender provides, unless you are a construction worker or base jumper. Spending $50 to protect a device sold for $350? Too expensive. Id rather spend $10 and have a thinner profile, but some may disagree.

I'd put our Ultra case up against any of Otterboxs cases for drops under 4 feet, which is about the highest anyone would reasonably drop them anyways. They arent waterproof, but how important is that feature really? It's the phones that should be designed to be waterproof, not cases. Most people are not going to want a built in screen protector on their case. They look bad, and stuff gets trapped under them.

I can guarantee 100% Otterbox will not release a case for the OnePlus phones until you see OnePlus sold in USA retail stores. That is their bread and butter, brick and mortar.

[ONE Accessories] D00ky:
I too prefer them over Otterbox. I tried to contact them over Twitter but so far no answer. So we have to stick together in Otterbox petition. My opinion is that 100k is impossible to reach but hope dies last.

[MENTION=1744309]OneStepAhead[/MENTION]

Otterbox is still on of few that makes waterproof cases. I think that for Android phones there are only Lifeproof and one more that I can't recall. There are people that need waterproof/dust proof case, including myself. I have S5 with Preserver series case. I upgraded it from S3 with OB Armor series case and I have to say that S5 with preserver is easier to handle with one hand. I've also had Lifeproof for my S3 and it was the best of them but it is not so easy to take the phone out of the case. So 1+1 with waterproof case with small profile like Lifeproof would still be usable, with OB Preserver maybe a little harder to operate.

Yeah I actually emailed life proof the other day...

Simple request

Does anybody know of a simple utility that can incorporate Tasks into Pocket Outlook. Tasks then will be intergrated into the calander and will use the appointment screen to set a task. Also this utility should manage to display a full weeks appointments and task in sequence - not seperated.

Thanks in anticipation
[General Topics] fatman:
There's a free today screen plugin that shows combined tasks and appointments...

http://tiews.info/index.php?show=software/todayagenda

I've given up on it for now but it seemed to work ok. Not as advanced as other plugins like PocketBreeze but much lower overhead associated with using it.

Have reverted back to standard plugins even though they are pretty pathetic since the plugin didn't seem to cope with orientation switching too well - an annoyance when using it with a device with a slide out landscape keyboard.
[General Topics] newbie2:
PocketBreeze for Me!!

I can't comment on TodayAgenda, as I've never tried it. I found it on these forums after purchasing PocketBreeze. But, from everything I've read about it on that thread, it's a very good program.

However, I WILL say that I LOVE PocketBreeze, and it would be virtually impossible (IMO) to find anything that even comes close. It does exactly what the OP wanted, plus more. It's the only plugin I use on my Today Screen, and it allows for Custom tabs to be set for other plugins, as well. So, I have iLauncher, Pocket Weather and Spb Time integrated into PB as custom tabs and from that can access virtually everything on my Wizard from the Today Screen through Pocket Breeze.

There's a 14 day free trial period, but I was sold on it after only 3 days and bought it. Others may have different views, but for me -- it's the BEST!!
[General Topics] hanmin:
I've use both todayAgenda and pocketbreeze. For the price of todayAgenda, there isnt really much to 'complain' about, other than the fact that, it doesn't display tomorrow as 'Tomorrow', which is quite annoying (that it lowered the importances of the task/schedule).

Anyway, I'm using pBreeze now and no complain so far. It is highly customizable which others may find annoying, but if you want to have full control on your display, go for it. I so wish I get commission for selling this software :D
[General Topics] tailazoom:
Check new todayAgenda 0.95 beta and check spbDiary with better phone contacts handling (hardware keyboard) than pocketBreeze.

TodayAgenda works well for me. Exactly what I wanted.

[Xperia Z1 General] Zak Jones!:
Hey guys.

My girlfriend pain-puked on her Galaxy Nexus, so I'm gifting her my old Z1s. Her carrier and T-Mobile use nearly identical wireless bands, so it'll be perfectly compatible. Unfortunately, it's T-Mobile locked, and she's on Wind Mobile (Canada).

I bought the phone used, and the old owner hasn't paid off their balance on the phone, so T-Mobile is being completely worthless.

There's all sorts of options for buying an unlock code, but these places want to charge me $40 for a code, which I think is pretty ridiculous.

Is there any way to unlock the Z1s without having one of these codes?

Not sure what you mean by securely, once you wipe, reformat, and wipe again, your data is gone.

If you are sellling or giving it so someone, may want to re-pull the mmcblk0boot0 and mmcblk0boot1 and verify there are the same as the ones you backed up(if you backed them up).

I have my reasons, which are related tomusic. All the new phones with their snapdragon chipset have such a horrendous sound, where my i9000 still has much sharper, crisper and massive bass sound, thanks to Voodoo Sound and Wolfson DAC). If i ever upgrade, it'll be to a Exynos based chipset, with a Wolfson DAC.

After changing logo, messing with photos,sizes of the file and other stuff and when i copy new image and replace the original after booting I get default logo.

The tar files in this case doesn't follow the user and file permissions ?

Have check the image and block after changing logo and image, the image/logo is accepted and installed into, but guess there is some checking or something else while booting. The installed image isn't accepted during boot,guess It's missplaced with the original ("from where ?") or am I missing some other possible way the image is/can be stored ina any other image/partition.

Has any1 tried this with our phone ?

The files for flash the param partition and self flashing archive is included as attachement.

The boot logo (logo.jpg) is the file download.jpg.

The animation "Samsung" is in the /system/media inside bootsamsung.qmg

You can check it via bootanimation in /system/bin, use it via adb or u will have to take the battery out to stop the animation or get to the home screen.
