[General Questions and Answers] Dissidant:
Hello! I've looked for a week for an answer to this question : how to be seen as a different device?

Basically, I need to be seen as a different/new device so I can get limited bonuses on a game that is using referral links to do so.

So far I've tried :

-xprivacy

-Android ID Changer

-Andy and Bluestacks

-Factory Reset an old device

-MAC spoofing

-Flash a new rom

And none worked. I don't know what to do to be seen as a completely different device. Is there a way to "VERY HARD RESET" (LOL) or something similar to an Android simulator/emulator?

Needless to say that I'm rooted.

I'd appreciate any help! Thank you very much.

Have a nice day/evening!
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
No. These games use your IMEI to tell what device and those can't be legally changed.
[General Questions and Answers] poldie:
Shouldn't it be possible on a rooted device to alter whatever api is used to retrieve the imei number so that you can spoof it to enquiring apps? That shouldn't be illegal as you're not actually changing it.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
It is because then it is sending out an improper IMEI which breaks the cloning laws. Also as it controls everything from the IMEI it could also cause you to lose all signal.
[General Questions and Answers] Dissidant:
Thanks for the reply. I didn't know they used IMEI number.

But what about wifi only device such as some Android tablets? They don't come with an IMEI number as far as I know, so do they use the serial number instead? I'm asking because I managed to get one bonus from my tablet and I'm wondering how they could identify this device without the IMEI.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
In cases of tablets then they might use the serial number that is hard coded into the system.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
Change your brand/device in the build.prop?
[General Questions and Answers] Dissidant:
I'll try that. Thank you.

But is changing the iSerial in sys/class/android_usb/android0/ possible and effective? Or is there another way to do it?

Hi Guys can anyone help me with partitioning the sd card on my galaxy ace 1.I have downloaded and installed the thunderbolt v4 rom "which I really like. Trouble is following various methods mini partition and apart inc . I cannot get the rom to see my sd card.

I have tried partitioning the ex4 before the fat 32 and after. and vis versa. but nothing enables the rom to see the second fat 32 partition. I have wiped the sd card "overnight and started afresh, still no go.

Thanks in advance for any adeas /help
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Way333:
Try partitioning via the following method then wipe data, cache and dalvik and then install the rom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U_Sp_BtzrM I'm sure the guy is using that rom and it works for him.

If not i can't really help apart from suggesting using "Super Stock" rom instead. It's very fast and stable and swap works perfect.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwizz60:
Thanks

Thanks I'll have to concentrate and try to go through it slowly. I don't remember seeing swap in the original rom installation instruction. or do I know what it is!

The battery life improvement of thunderbolt rom is one of the reasons it appealed to me . Does the super stock rom have good battery life?

Thanks Brian UK
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Way333:
The version 4 specs of thunderbolt does say: "Kernel changed to Battery extender swapall v3 supersu 0.97"

So yes it should work. The Super Stock rom has a battery extender kernel too with cronmod (for swap).

I think in thunderbolt the swapall is enabled by default whereas in Super stock you have to choose the cronmod option during install of the rom.

Unfortunately i made a big boo boo with my ace and now it's a doorstop. If it was working i'd install thunderbolt so i could help better but i know for a fact superstock works perfect.

Formatting the sd in CWM is simple, format in fat 32 via pc first then put the sd in the ace, boot into recovery, go to advanced and choose "partition SD", select the size of the ext partition and on the next screen set it to "0m" and that should do the trick for thunderbolt.

With superstock and the mini tool i had setup 9gb of internal memory. I was loving it until i decided to try the Miui v4 rom. Do not touch that rom whatever you do!!!!!!!!

still same

Hi ,I tried as suggested , the max partition under clockwork was 4 gig, which I set "My card is 32gig"

I rebooted and still the same . Link to sd give the same script error ! I noticed the partition is ex2 . ! Thunderbolt is supposed to have ex4?.

Could the sd card be getting tired . it must be getting fed up with constant wipes etc:confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Way333:
You shouldn't need to use a third party app like link2sd. LOL @ "it must be getting fed up with constant wipes". Although wiping does slowly decrease the life of an sd card, modern sd cards that are good makes have like 100,000 write cycles so your contribution is minimal. Why the sd is ext2 after formating with cwm i don't know. Which version of cwm are you using? Try the latest if you're not already using it. (just really stabbing at thin air but worth a try)

If that fails or if you're using the latest i can't really help any further with the thunderbolt rom and i'd bet you'd rather use more of that sd for internal anyway so as i suggested b4 go with the superstock rom. The mini tool definately works with that so you could partition more space.

I'm trying to find a an old fan speed controller i can use as a variable resistor to try and revive my phone. If it works i'll be able to help more with thunderbolt, depends on my luck.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
mmm... "Thunderbolt is supposed to have ex4" It means all the device partitions are in .ext4 and yeah it support .ext4 as external partition ;)

ex4

Does that mean that there should be no fat32 for media files? How would I imput them then if the computer could not see the partition?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
To create an external partition you need to format your sdcard and to partition it in 2 partitions:

1. FAT32 (Primary partition)

2. ext4 (512 mb is enough)

Use MiniTool Partition to do it :)

I have followed instructions carefully but . I still have the same issue that the download link is seen as an install icon

not as a normal winzup file like the other available downloads. I can see the downloaded file via "my files" but not via cwm 5.0.2.6 Anon

I found that the middle link on the xda site gives me a winzip file 2+

I have followed instructions to install script zip .But looking at the sd partitions via mini tool

i see that the second partition is identified as "other". and trying to use it in the phone gives me the same script error as previosly. I don't see an option in cwm to format as ex4 ?

Tapped out acts like it might try at times, but just locks up. Clash of Clans just turns black and doesn't even make it to the Logo Screen. I have uninstalled SU, Xmod, Cydia Sub, both Games. Restarted the Tablet.. Installed it all back... Still nothing.. All the Same. Tablet says it is Rooted and is getting SU permission. Opening Xmod updated the Games for todays date.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EyebrowZing:
After a whole 24 hours of using Lollipop and found the phone was unusable (phone would ring, but not give any other indication of an incoming call) in some ways, and lacking in other features, I decided it was time to go back to 4.4.4.

So I followed the instructions from Google(/android/nexus/images) , downloaded the 4.4.4 Occam factory image, and installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot. It took a while playing with drivers to get the device to show properly with the adb devices command, but it finally did, and was able to command it to reboot bootloader.

Everything still looking good. Still following the instructions, did the oem unlock, wiping it to factory settings, and then ran flash-all.bat. It went through that, the phone restarted into the bootloader, this time showing the Kitkat loading images instead of Lollipop, I think I'm home free.

I'm in the bootloader again now and notice adb devices is no longer showing the phone, so I try oem lock, and the phone screen updates to show locked. Odd, but it worked. I now used the volume buttons to select power off, and power off the device.

Powering on, the phone shows the Kitkat white "Google" on the screen, but that's it. I try powering it off again, and it restarts itself. I try getting it to display in adb devices, and nothing. The phone has been sitting at this screen for half an hour now with no change.

Using volume down+power I'm able to get it back into fastboot mode, but nothing will work from there. Start, recovery mode, and power off all result in the same thing: phone looks like it's turning on, but sits forever just showing the white "Google" on the screen. Abd devices still shows no devices attached, yet the phone still accepts oem lock and unlock commands, so I tried to run flash-all.bat again, but it just gives a 'command write failed(unknown error)'.

I'm kinda stumped now, and I haven't been able to find anything on this kind of issue. I'm hoping someone might have some experience or be able to suggest something my limited experience hasn't exposed me to before.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venu123:
ADB needs a booted up android to work, it wont work in bootloader mode. Another requirement is that usb debugging must be enabled in dev options. Fastboot works only in bootloader mode and doesnt need usb debugging.

Hi guys

i just bought 2 devices for my friends :

Lenovo s660 - runs 4.2.2 - 4.7" , 1/8GB, 6582 quad core, battery capacity 3000mah

lenovo a806 - runs 4.4.2 - 5", 2/16GB , 6592 octacore ,battery capacity 2500 mah

both of the owners are saying that the battery drains really fast even in save mode and in really basic use (some browsing, whatsup, calls without games or heavy use etc) which is not reasonable - i ordered it because of the battery capacity and the quality of lenovo.

Do you have any idea what could be the solution ?

Thanks in advance.

For me quite a big difference is if I'm using both sims or just one. Now when I'm on one I'm at 53% and have already 11d nad 14hrs. I use a Wifi a lot, but I don't play games at all. Mostly browser, RSS reading, email, viber a phone calls.

The other thing is that when I got the other day to 35% the battery got to 2% in a matter of two hours. So I guess it's not showing very acurate percentage...

Hello,

So I have this issue that came up recently. I just got installed PA 4.4.4 and I'm unlocked and rooted. I'm trying to download apps from the play store but a lot of them (say more than 50%) just don't download. When I click install, it just says "downloading" and the progress bar just continues to flash but I never get how much is downloading and whatnot. Apps like pushbullet, reddit news, and ES File Explorer. Some apps just download fine and quickly. I can't seem to find a pattern between what apps I can download and what I can't.

Any ideas?

EDIT: It seems that if I look on the play store online (from the web) some of the apps I have trouble installing are listed as "installed". But there are some apps listed at "installed" and I can still download them.
