I dunno what it is, but this could be something new, you could call it

invention or innovation..or whatever.

but this idea came to me after a friend of mine got his new [Nikon D200]

Digital-SLR and started showing me some of his new clicked photos. they were

good, especially the Manual Focused ones. the Bokeh effect, and other

stuffs...

i kept wondering why doesn't a phone camera offers these features.

so, i got back to my home after that instance, and started reading and

binging about the Camera and it stuffs, a gathered a huge knowledge outta

the web all about the working of a camera.

meanwhile my smartphone was screen cracked (it had other problems earlier, so

i sent it to repair, but no use).

so i started experimenting my phone camera out, and that DSLR jealousy lead

me somewhere else.

ha ha..

my li'l sister used a playable laser projector, so i stole it from her and

took the lens out, it was 8-9mm lens with 16mm focal length (maybe).

i broke my camera lens, attached the 8mm lens, nothing worked.

i took out the focus hardware out (don't know what it actually is called as)

by rotating anti-clockwise..

and there was a 4mmx3mm sensor.

so i build a smartphone outta a carton board, sticking different shapes with

adhesives, and then attaching my lens into my smartphone..

and yeah it worked..

i clicked some pics, but....yeah it was just an alpha version..

then i took out a lens from a Point-&-Shoot camera and attached it to the

Case, with adhesive..

and then started the photography..

and the result were quite awesome.

.

if i can do it why cant you, but before that you have to be sure that you are definitely willing to do this....

.

i have uploaded some pics of the lens+adapter, and some pictures of my

friend, and some other stuffs i took using this......:good::good::good::cool::cool:

Battery Sucks all time :\

According to my usage of many apps , i see this rom consumes a lot of ram and battery too.

Same usage as above written had never disappointed me in ram and battery in other 4.4 roms.

Never downgraded nor i gonna do. L feel is quite good. Features missing are L Notification Panel etc.

What should i do? Help.
[Micromax A106 Unite 2] rmnpreet786:
Thanks for feedback... I will soon release v2.0.... Just waiting for more feedbacks and bugs reports if any... So as to make Rom work perfectly:cool:
[Micromax A106 Unite 2] rmnpreet786:
Just want to say that don't use halo floating window module if you want to reduce ram usage.... Because it consumes a lot of ram and slow Down your phone's speed.. The battery consumption is mainly due to the v6 supercharger entries...:cowboy:
[Micromax A106 Unite 2] bmp1993:
Alright. A request please add a complete L look/feel. The L keyboard sometimes force closes but when I change it to material light/dark it works back. Not a big issue. About v6 supercharger entries if its supercharging then why the phone performs poor battery?

Although I am loving rom and don't wait for reviews.

You publish your beasts and then people itself will make you proud.

Note:My request for a complete L look user interface. Tweak the ROM.

WARNING:

THIS IS NOT FOR THOSE USERS WHO IS SATISFIED WITH G4 THAILAND BUILD.I MYSELF HAD A GREAT WISH TO TRY GENEXT ROM AFTER DOWNGRADING,WHICH ENDED UP IN BOOTING GENEXT

TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK( NOTHING WORSE HAPPENED WITH ME THOUGH)

Simplified Overview

1.Install Kitchen -->http://techjectives.blogspot.in/2014/01/how-to-install-android-kitchen-in_7433.html

2.Get genext e2 flashable via odin(tar file )--->http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-grand-2/development/rom-gennxt-pre-rooted-stock-t2642555

3.Unpack Rom

4.get sytem folder ,boot img from our genext e2 rom

5.Get meta-info folder from Vandroid rom ( https://db.tt/KN962WEj)

6.Make the rom zip

DETAILED PROCEDURE

> After the genext odin package is downloaded we need to extract it using 7zip.

Move the download to your desktop,Right click on the package and select "Open with 7zip"

After the extraction is complete you will more than likely get an error stating that there is no record at end of archive. This is fine.

Now, for the good. Open the newly extracted folder and find the following three files: boot.img, cache.image.ext4, and system.img.ext4.

We need to move these files to the Kitchen folder labeled "original_update"

Now we need to fire up the kitchen and select option "1 - Set up working folder from ROM" then Enter again, then Enter again, then Enter Again.

At this point the ROM is about 75% extracted and the kitchen will pop up a utility called "Ext2explore" With this utility you will need to open system.img and extract it like the kitchen instructions you to do.

>Since genext is prerooted and deodexed already we dont need to perform any other steps shown in android kitchen menu.

> Go to

C:\cygwin\home\your pc name\kitchen\WORKING_111214_114500

there you find the system folder,boot img and meta info folders

> We should delete this meta info folder and copy paste meta info folder from the vandroid rom

>So we have now three stuffs like system folder,meta info folder, and boot.img

>Select these 3 files,right click and select add to archive and make a zip

>Take a nandroid backup of your current rom

>Wipe everything

>Flash rom zip

>Flash gapps

>Flash secsettings patch

THERE GENEXT ADAVANCED E2 ROM BOOTED FOR ME :o:o

You can proceed in the same way for stock e2 firmware too. For stock e2 fm we dont need to flash gapps or secsettings patch.

And if you want you can Deodex Zip Allign Stock E2 with Android kitchen.

I keep having a problem receiving texts.

When I was using my Galaxy S3, I would get one text if it was longer than 160 characters. Now on my Note 4, I will get them broken up and I won't get each separate piece of the texts.

This is getting texts from both Androids and iPhones.

I have to tell the person sending the text to take a screenshot, so I can see the message.

Does anyone have a solution?

I've used the stock messaging app and Chomp.

Kitkat does not allow writing to the external ad card for every app. You need root your device (if not already done) and use a program like SDFix.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nintennuendo:
So I had a working slimkat install on my Nexus 5 with T-Mobile and decided to try the new preview, mainly because my phone was then losing emails in my outbox for days. About 12~ hours after L Preview Install, my phone won't charge. I can't think of anything that happened hardware-wise. I was fearing a hardware issue when I discovered my phone charges when turned OFF.

Why does the new version not work on USB? I can connect via Bootloader to Windows, but it won't even charge when connected to AC wall outlet. Will when turned off though.

Has anyone experienced problems similar to this? I'm about to flash back to 4.4.x stock to see if problem persists. If it does, I don't know what I'll do.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Araragi:
Hello guys,

I got messed up with my tablet :(

The IMEI is unknown now :(

Here's the chronology

1. I flashed Gnabo rom v7

2. Then the network seemed unstable, in which it got disappeared and reappeared randomly.

3. I thought I should flash boeffla kernel, then I flashed it

4. Network seemed stabilized

5. I left it over night, and in the morning the tablet lost its signal, in which it show "no SIM card inserted".

6. I restarted over and over, change the SIM card, nothing works

7. I remembered I haven't clean the kernel script before I flash the boeffla, so I think that was the cause.. Then I decided to clean the script via CWM With "sybr cleaning script" which I got from here on xda

8. Reboot the phone and voilaa! The IMEI Is unknown :(

9. No more "no SIM card inserted", just a blank signal on signal bar

10. I tried a way to restore the imei here on xda on thread "9 steps to repair imej", in which the methods is to backup efs folder manually, and then so on an on.

Now my tablet shows random transparent window in which shows some sort of tablet information

Here's the picture

Please help me I'm very frustrated :( :(

And please tell me it is still repairable :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArnomaF:
If you have a backup with efs partition init you simply recover this. (Better all)

If not I can tell you that I needed 3 weeks to recover mine. And now I have a fake IMEI.

But it works.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Araragi:
I haven't backed it up yet :(

But I read here in the forum that the efs folder is untouched, so I assume it still intact?

Could you tell me how to recover yours? :)

after flashing the [4.4.2] Gnabo Rom V7 [AIR COMMAND - NOTE 2014 APPS ] ROM with clean flash and it worked great for few days the note awake one day in a loop restart...I wipe all again and here started the drama... I lost the EFS folder and I am without a back up for it....I tried to downgrade the bootloader to flash a stock icescream sandwich sam rom maybe that restore the original efs but what I got a factory test screen with no EFS or IME please help and for anyone read this please consider that the above ROM could have a bug .... I am not the only one who got that problem pls backup your EFS folder and consider the risk for bricking your note.

SAM service answer/solution for repair it was to change the board (80% of the device price) = go buy a used one or a brand new from a cheap country....

appreciate any help

please Arnomaf tell us we need and appreciate your help

did you bought a license to repair IME ?

did you be able to restore your original IME with this tool ?

I have to wait to pass the 3 days trail or buy a license from day one?

it worth it..i mean it really were the only step to restore the ime and efs folder through this tool?

Hi, I recently (like 5 minutes ago) rooted my lg g2 ls980 from sprint and it was fine. it wasnt until i tried to flash a cyanogenmod nightly, the latest one for cm11 on my phone and now its stuck in a boot loop. Ive tried to boot it into recovery but it wont work when i press the buttons (home and vol. down). Im freaking out, and ill admit it im just an ameture and didnt really know what I was doing, but I just got this phone as a replacement for my stolen phone and my parents will kill me if we have to pay a fortune for sprint to fix it if they even can. im using the latest version of twrp I think for the ls980 but it wont let me boot into it. help please as soon as possible. thank you!! Hopefully people still watch this forum I know its a little dated

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] MehNameIsDan:
Not so long ago (about 3 days ago 11-9-14) I was an iPeasant until I got the HTC One M8 and I absolutely love this new device, I do not regret ever switching. And these last three days I have not messed with any options other than get all my apps and games back and that was it. I just started playing non-stop because of the lag I always had on my iPhone. And I have to say the battery life is stunning..

TO THE POINT! ..

- I started messing with a few settings and realised I had NFC but I tried it with my friends earlier and NFC would not do anything. And i also saw they had this Beam thing, whatever it is, I didnt have it. Is this normal?

- What can rooting do to my phone and why is it bad/good?

- I also realised while looking through forums this phone version is missing a few apps widgets (e.g flashlight). What can I do to get it back?

- Is there an alternative to open rar files without rooting your phone?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
1. I've never used NFC, I've heard of beam but I've never read into it...it's probably best to do the research through Google about that one...really you can use Google for all these questions...

2. Root is gaining super user access allowing you to read and write to partitions. You can overclock or under clock the processor allowing for faster speeds, overvolting or undervolting, more control over personalizing or modifying how your device looks (gui) not the actual appearance..With root, you do void the warranty and some people believe it degrades battery and performance, but if anything it increases those areas. Just Google advantages or disadvantages of rooting

3. You should be missing anything from htc widgets...more and likely you came across torch.apk, which is cyanogenmod (highly customizable modified rom)

4. You can use just about any file explorer to extract rar files or just download winrar from Google play store...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Root no longer voids AT&T warranty. They changed there terms some time ago, so now the only thing that voids warranty is physical or water damage. However, unlocking the bootloader may void the Advantage screen replacement, or any other warranty direct through HTC.

I agree that root itself in no way affects performance. Its simply a permissions change, like giving yourself admin rights on your PC. Its what you do with that permission that may/may not affect any performance.

I would suggest to the OP to do some research on what root enables you to do, implications of unlocking the bootloader, custom ROMs, etc. before making any decisions. Use the phone as stock for a while, see if you want to do any mods. Then go from there.

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

RAR is just an archive, like a ZIP. It has nothing to do with being rooted. As mentioned above, just use a file explorer to unpack the RAR. There are several good ones, my go-to is ES File Explorer (although it doesn't handle password protected RARs).
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jball:
NFC and Beam are pretty much the same thing

To use NFC/Beam you of course need to enable per phone and then touch them back to back,there should be a chime indicating the files are ready for transfer and you can pull them apart for the rest of the download. (Bluetooth is easier in my opinion).

I third the suggestions above about root
