[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] paulo_andre:
I have a G4 CID-locked (not completely sure, but my info will tell) wizard. I bought it recently in ebay and wanted to ask a few questions. some are not wizard related, but I think I can ask them here to avoid opening another thread.

My info:

IPL 2.17.0001

SPL 2.17.0001

OS 2.17.7.2

rom version 2.17.7.2 WWE

ExtROM 2.17.7.102

radio 02.07.10

protocol version 413.1.03

I am happy with the current rom, but wanted something faster (and wpa2 support would be a plus). I need at least the same stability, storage space and speed that I have now. What do you recommend, AKU 3.x or WM6?

what is exactly the extended rom, what is it for? is it only for carrier programs?

I have the original qtek rom (updated from myqtek.com). Assuming I can get to the bootloader screen, I can always reflash with it and go back to what I have now, right? I mean, I can do this if I get a bad flash and if I'm not happy with the new rom.

is there an AKU 3.x rom for wizard without any extra software installed?

the same question for wm6 roms

I know the WM6 roms still have some problems, but what about the AKU3.x roms? are they (close to at least) bug free?

From what I read, there is now a way to flash roms without unlocking, but only the OS section. Is there a reason to update the other sections as well? can I update the other sections without unlocking?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] robdahood:
Understand that I don't have a G4 device to play with but maybe I can answer some of you general questions and others can help you with G4 specific stuff.

1st, If you're happy with the way your device is working for you There's no real reason to mess with the os or radio. (unless you are like me and can't stand having an unhacked device laying around.)

Having said that, there are different types of rom updates. Some replace everything (boot loader, radio, os, extended rom, etc.) Others only replace certain parts, for instance the radio can be upgraded without changing anything else. Before changing anything else, make sure you have an original rom to go back to and that you know how to restore it. Also you should have a good backup program like SpbBackup. This won't save you from a bad flash but is really helpful in preserving your data and settings, especially since once you start down this road, you are going to start playing with more and more unstable bleeding edge stuff that will crash more often. You won't be able to stop yourself, it's an addiction - U have been warned!

There are plenty of good, stable, 2.2x roms around. For 3.3, faria-htc-wizard-aku3.3 seemed pretty stable for me. I'm using WM6 right now, but I don't feel that it's stable enough for inexperienced users just yet. As far as radio roms go, if your radio is working good for you I wouldn't change it. From my observations here, it really depends on where you are and who your carrier is.

If your reception is good, there is no reason to upgrade just to get a higher number on your boot screen. A newer radio version might make things worse.

Extended rom can hold anything the rom cook wants to put in it. Some are loaded with add on programs, some have carrier customizations, some are empty.

If all you want is zippier response, check out OmapClock, an overclocking app that makes the processor run faster.

Finally, read the threads and make sure you understand exactly how the process works before starting out and especially how the proceedure apples to a G4 device.

Other more experienced users are welcomed to elaborate or correct me if I am wrong on any of this, and add G4 specific advice.

Google Camera app for kitkat custom roms of redmi 1S

Google Camera:http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-2-4-024-1564481-30-apk/

tested working on mokee and cm11..

The Good:

Okay so here’s what I liked.

Panorama Mode, Lens Blur Mode, and Photosphere Mode are really fun and easy to use. The camera guides you to taking really good pictures and although rendering and processing take a while, the results usually look quite nice.

The interface is simple and easy to use. You’re never more than a swipe or a click away from pretty much anything in the app. Switching modes is as simple as sliding the options out and clicking on them. The quick settings, accessing the gallery, and pretty much everything is right there just off screen for easy access.

It does what it says it does. All the features worked as intended. I personally didn’t experience any crashes or issues. Once you learn how the various modes work, there shouldn’t be any problems using them.

There are little design things that are pretty fun. The dual line zoom meter bar thing is fun to use and when you’re in video mode, it’ll try to get you to shoot in landscape mode by using a spinning icon. You can still shoot in portrait mode but let’s face it, no one likes it when people shoot in portrait mode and it appears as though Google is trying to remind people of that.

The bad:

And here’s the bad.

Its simplicity is its greatest strength but also its greatest weakness. If you’re used to the more complicated settings of other camera apps, then this is going to feel a little bit lacking for some people. You can’t adjust ISO, white balance, there are no filters, and there are no features like image stabilization. It’s really pretty basic stuff.

Some people have already begun complaining of various bugs. There isn’t a single bug that’s affecting everyone but little things that are affecting people. One such experience that I’ve heard a few times is the app crashing when using Lens Blur mode. A second is a lack of HDR on a lot of devices. I haven’t had any of these issues but they apparently exist depending on your device and version of Kit Kat.

My last problem is the lack of options when it comes to storage. If you have a device that has an external SD card, you can’t use it for storage. In fact, you can’t change the storage location at all. This is likely because of the Kit Kat SD card limitation problem that a lot of people don’t like so I hope your internal memory card has enough space because that is where your photos are going.

Hey All,

I have an issue with corporate email on my android. Short version, the company I work for uses Gmail as our client. They support Iphone and Blackberry because the platform is secure. They do not support Android.

I am desperate to keep my Android and use it for my corporate email. Is there any way to make this happen?

Second, I can access my email by using the chrome browser on my phone, but, this is without notifications and does not auto update so I have to constantly log back in, very annoying.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Hi got a htc one m7, its build date is may 2014

i bought it in the hope to sort the software out.

It can boot,past the splash screen(Looks like its a tmobile flash screen as its pink but its not a proper image its just a mess) and get to where the htc one booting screen is etc then just stays there,ive left it for a long time see if it can boot it doesnt

can access fastboot

cant access recovery,

this i could fix but no laptop is recognizing the device,

so far tried updating drivers,

tried the universal naked driver

it just cant access via fastboot.

any ideas? ive had this issue before on an older m7 but i cant remember how i fixed it!

my operating system is windows 7 64 bit, tried three different cables...the device charges on every cable, all options can be accessed in fastboot,tried factory reset but obviously no recovery is onboard to do anything so just the symbol with the green circle and arrow appears..

Yeah in other words appreciate some help

you can try this driver https://www.dropbox.com/s/nm9igbliqqk69p5/HTCDriver.exe?dl=0 install the exe reboot pc then boot phone to bootloader before connecting usb. If that doesn't work best advice I can give is try with Linux. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=54272479

That is the Stock recovery when you see this symbol hold Volume up and press the power button to reveal the Stock recovery menu. It's best to perform factory reset from here.

ahh, yeah i was able to access the stock recovery,never seen it before..

at the top of it though comes up as tamper? does that just mean the bootloaders unlocked?

anyway went to factory reset, said first backup preload then backup cw package..never seen all that before either,ive tried wiping cache etc, it didnt actually erase anything far as i can see,the phone still boots upto the htc one screen,just wont go any further

what i dont understand, the boot animation is a custom one because the beats audio bit at the bottom is purple,the tmobile splash screen is corrupt,the bootloaders unlocked..but its got stock recovery,what exactly was the previous owner trying to do,return to stock?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
The phone has clearly been modified at some point so it's normal to see tampered in the recovery.

From what you say about the boot screens it seems they have tried to install an ota update that had an older Firmware version than was currently on the phone. The firmware mismatch will cause the discoloration of the splash screen.

triedd pretty much everything now,

4 cables,granted no official htc ones

it wont work on windows 8 7 or xp,

no drivers will install it just remains as unknown device,

factory reset wont do anything,

no fastboot commands will work

nothing will work at all

the usb is only 2.0 on this laptop and the other not sure if that makes a difference

cant do anything on stock recovery, it starts as cant mount sd card 5 times then loads the recovery to which nothing can be done,it backs up preload and cw then nothing

left it booting for 20 minutes nothing

Ive not encountered a dead stick for a long time now,whoever had it before really must of had literally no idea what they were doing, htc wont repair due to the fact its blantantly been messed with id imagine

so a lot of money wasted on this one what a nightmare

i was tempted to install linux as a dual boot but surely if nothings working on 3 operating systems linux wont make a difference?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Don't be so sure about Linux not working, it's worth a try. Android is built on the Linux kernel that is why it's the only operating system that doesn't require drivers for android phones.

You don't need to install Linux as a dual boot just follow my guide (linked in previous post) to boot from a usb stick. If Linux doesn't detect your phone nothing will. But don't bin it without trying. If your gonna do that you could always send it to me ;)

As I say it sounds like the previous owner tried to install the incorrect OTA update on the device. This normally happens when the device is reset to stock with a Guru Reset Rom that is older than the current firmware version. The OTA is unable to downgrade the firmware causing a firmware incompatibility that produces the discoloration of the boot screens you mentioned.

i got ubuntu onboard okay, from there im lost,i mean is the device meant to show up unknown or do you need to prompt it? as i know the device isnt mass storage in fastboot etc so do i need to flag it or should it just be there?

if its meant to just be there it isnt,all i got is casper, and the usb drive showing,

thats it..unless ive done it wrong and the m7 is totally dead

Hi, anyways..an hour later still none the wiser..the first command goes fine,it installs..the second..says its can be parsed..ive tried a few other methods mentioned on the web,its the same thing..cant be parsed

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Lol ok cool, take some time to relax it's no use doing these things while your frustrated. It just leads to mistakes. I assume the command your having trouble with is this one

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

Did you use the ubuntu distro linked in my mini guide or are you using Ubuntu 14.04 64bit?

You need to use a 32bit distro or it gets complicated. 14.04 isn't officially supported by the repository but it should work with 14.04 32bit. To use adb/fastboot on 64bit Linux you need to install 32bit libs.

Use the 12.04 32bit distro linked in my guide to avoid problems installing adb fastboot. When you've cooled off a bit ;) Start again from the beginning of the mini guide and follow it exactly, I set it out that way to make it easy for users with little Linux knowledge. :good:

I have read around and im completely lost now. I have the ls980 and i have read i can use the perm sim unlock and i read somewhere that i can just flash a cloudy rom and choose the tmobile variant. Sorry if im being a burden im just trying to be safe.
[Sprint LG G2] LilDemon124:
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO. It worked on the first try but how should i go about putting apns in? I know the most im probably getting is 2g-3g
[Sprint LG G2] br0adband:
Depending on what's available in your area, and the age of the SIM card, you should already have APNs listed for T-Mobile (at least when you put a T-Mobile SIM card in). Use the *#*#4636#*#* menu to change the preferred network type to either WCDMA only (which is what I use for HSPA+) or LTE/GSM/WCDMA and see what happens. On that same screen wait for it to connect and show you what network type you're accessing with.

Once you do have the network type "locked in," then go into the Mobile networks menu (under Settings- Tethering & networks), hit APNs and you should see several listed. Mine shows MetroPCS LTE (since T-Mobile now owns MetroPCS), the old T-Mobile standard one (epc.tmobile.com), the newer fast one (fast.t-mobile.com and note the hyphen there, it's required if you're putting it in manually), then I have the IPv6 one as well followed by one for Simple mobile and StraightTalk T-Mobile too (pic relevant I guess and speaks for itself).

I use WDCMA only since here in Las Vegas the blanketed HSPA+ coverage is pretty awesome and the LTE coverage just... well, it just ain't so great to me, especially inside buildings.

Hope this helps...

ps

There are some people that report they can't or don't get the LTE working properly with this method and CloudyG3, there is or was some kind of fix available where iirc you delete some simple config file that's related to LTE settings and then restart the G2 and it'll kick in and work - I cannot say for sure what the fix is but if you do more searching you'll probably find it, that is if you need or plan to use LTE mode with T-Mobile. I get close to the theoretical 42Mbps using HSPA+ and I'm very happy with that so that's all I care to bother with.

[LG G Flex] worst_2hu:
I've seen this article saying that LG has only confirmed a Lollipop update on the G3. I don't only find it a bad thing that they haven't confirmed anything on the G2 or the Flex yet, I think it's unacceptable and irresponsible of them to simply throw away two phones that have been so popular. The G2, at least.

Anyway, opinions aside, this shall serve as the discussion thread, maybe, for the Lollipop update. Post all questions, tips, suggestions here related to Android 5.0 here.
[LG G Flex] jeyml:
Honestly i don't really care if we get the update or not, i just love the phone the way it is now and i don't really get why so many people are obsessed with the updates. Sure, the stock android L that Google provides looks nice,buy mostly every company theme the system, but if you come to think of it there aren't sooo many improvements. And the G Flex is not such a popular phone like the G3, just like the Galaxy line or HTC lines. But we will wait and see what happends, for me this is one of the best phones out there just because the battery is amazin, i have never had a smartphone that can resist 2 days on moderate use or even 4-5 days at low usage. I'm the kind of guy that thinks that the phone is made for making calls, texts and stuff like that.
