Anyone ever solve the slippery nylon issue?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Martingitdave:
Real simple. Ebay. Get a new back plate. Make sure it is legitimate and includes the LEDs. Get a medium thickness guitar pick. I use Fender standard plastic. Remove the sim tray. Gently pry the back plate off. There is adhesive holding it there. Break the adhesion carefully. Snap your new back into place. Using rubbing alcohol, a paper towel and your fingernail, scrape the verizon logo off the back. Enjoy your new phone, now without a warranty.

Things to remember. Do not damage the stock back. Put it someplace safe in case you need it. I am prepared to put it back on when I return it from the edge agreement.

FWIW, I did this in about 5 minutes. I now have a MGF black 64 GB Turbo wearing a J&D thin shell case. Pappa is happy.

DO NOT try and rubberize the nylon. That would be phenomenally stupid.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
You mean like this? By the way, Moto Maxx/Droid Turbo totally interchangeable. Same device.

http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale...26090203&SearchText=droid+turbo+battery+cover

or 3rd party back plates, totally different from OEM?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Augman:
I have trouble trusting things from aliexpress.... are you sure those are a safe buy?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
I have bought three different LG G3 Qi wireless charging back covers from them (for Verizon, T-mobile). Because U.S. carriers had LG disable the Qi wireless charging, to force people to buy $70 "folio" covers, when the factory back cover works just fine. :rolleyes: Three friends bought LG G3 (one Verizon, two T-mobile) and I helped them get that functionality back.

Also I have bought other items from Ali Express. Not a lot, but have never had an issue, except for delivery time. (Depends on the merchant.) One back cover took so long (over three weeks), I ordered another from different website, and then both arrived the same time. :) Will usually take 2 weeks -- but allow up to 4 weeks.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Gundabolu SC:
I can vouch for Aliexpress... Bought 4 products and shipping was fast and was provided with a tracking number even for the cheapest of things unlike a few ebay seller.... Actually coincidentally one of the things i boughtt from Aliexpress was the Blue replacement back! :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] flaviosp:
You guys ate crazy.... No way I have the guts to do that... Lol
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] alphadog00:
I took the plunge and used Plastidip. It works very well. I started off with the liquid that you dip tools in - it spreads on and peels off. the downside is that it too thick to spread smooth. I tried the spray on. 2 heavy coats work well. The downside to it, is that it doesn't peel off because it is thin.

But to peel it off, I just coat it with the liquid dip type, let it dry and peels off the spray.

I probably did not have to mask at all, as it should peel off the camera and flash as it does from the moto logo, but better safe.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rianneves:
I was thinking about this ****ing nylon and it would be awesome if someone could replace it with some leather like moto X² back...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
I tried. I may try again some day but the nylon is much thinner then leather. So it bulges out.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jaocagomez:
you are seriously making me try to paint my nylon cover in red and potentially **** it up but dam... i would love it on red.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
I've done that too lol. Best paint I've found for it so far is vinyl fabric paint. You can find it at Ace Hardware or any car shop. Plates used to paint the interior of a car. Because nylon is plastic it holds really well but remains flexible.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] graffixnyc:
I found a blue nylon one on eBay. You can also get the red back(non nylon). I'm thinking of swapping out the nylon back for the red once my maxx arrives.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jaocagomez:
Do you have pictures to see how it looks?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] alphadog00:
I am thinking masking more neatly and doing blue Plastidip on the back - the whole thing. Since it does peel off, I have nothing to lose. Safer the vinyl color imo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] alphadog00:
OK, so I masked the phone and sprayed the plastidip a few times by now. Thicker works better, but some things I didn't like - Any nick and it starts to peel, and it picks up dirt and dust. It also feels a bit too grippy.

So I got a Skinomi skin - really just 3M and other vinyl stuff, but it sticks very well to the nylon. I was worried it would not. here is carbon fiber - I trimmed the bottom so it just covered the nylon. So far so good.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zefir738:
I would also like to see pictures of this. I've wanted the ballistic nylon to be red ever since I got this phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] DJ_FrozenDoctor:
I'd like to make a back for it that has Elsa on it. I like the ballistic nylon, so I'd probably like to make one out of ballistic nylon, even though its probably hard to make ballistic nylon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ling297:
I have a question, on the Note 3 when you took a picture with Geo Tagging turned on you could at a later date, bring up the photo and press the menu button and get directions to where the photo was taken in Google Maps. Now that I have the Note 4 I dont see Get directions in the menu anymore. This really blows because it was a feature I used a lot on the Note 3. I can bring the photo up on a Google map, I can see where it is but I see no way to map myself to it.

Any insights on how I can regain this ability, is there a plug in I need to install, or a separate app?

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalmander:
If you goto the photo, click the menu button, click more info. All your geo tagging is in there. It also will bring up Google maps and show all your photos and where they were taken on the map. Hopefully this helps

Hi,

I have a Note Pro 12.2 bought around april through eGlobal, which delivered from Hong Kong. I live in Holland by the way.

The langauge was asian or English. In order to make it Dutch I rooted the device in the first week, instead of starting using it and then after let's say six months start all over again after rooting then. But all I have tried in the last months, the best I get is a boot loop. So it gets to 99% but the last procent will not get OK. Itried several European ROMS which you can find on several sites like this one, but not 1 is getting OK. All the possible tips to get out of a boot loop (wipe cache/ wipe data etc etc) didn't work out.

I cannot imagine what might cause this. Is it logical that there is some kind of region code soemwhere in the hardware or so, that mkes it in compatble with a European ROM?

Is there somebody out there who can help me to sort this last hurdle out? It is annoying.

My bad i meant can I flash the firmware zip via hboot without being rooted*
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Being rooted has nothing to do with flashing firmware on your device. It has to do with whether or not the device is S-off (which again has nothing to do with root). When S-on you can only install firmware that's digitally signed by HTC, meaning you need to use the full firmware. If you're S-off you can use the unsigned, modified firmware.

No. The whole point of a factory reset is to wipe your device clean. Without backup, your data is lost.

Hello guys, i need little help with my phone, so here is what happened: Two days ago i tried to turn on my phone, it started booting but the cycle repeated again and again so I got in recovery and wiped data/catche, but that didn`t helped. I thought that if i change the rom maybe I can fix the problem so I downloaded my rom from needrom (there were 2 roms for my device) and started flashing with Flash tool. I downloaded the first rom to my phone and tried to turn the phone on but nothing happened.. I downloaded the second rom and it worked, the phone booted but the only think that I can see is blank white screen, the touch is working and the buttons, when i click somewhere i feel the device vibrating but thats it. One time i managed to make the device appear in my computer as a normal android phone, dont know how this happened. So can someone help me please, if you have a phone like mine can you backup your rom and send it to me or help me find a working one, or some idea how to fix the blank screen. Thanks in advance :)

Flashing CM12 Android L

Hello,

As per the instructions given, I was flashing CM12 on my pico.

On fourth step "Convert your /data and /system partition to f2fs you can find it in wipe option", I was stuck it prompted "Error: Unable to load /data" and "Error: Unable to load /system". Till then even the recovery TWRP had removed my previous rom from the phone and cellphone was left without any OS. In short, all these procedures bricked my device. I tried flashing other roms but they didn't succeeded as well.

At last, I had to install RUU in my pico. Can you please tell me what I missed that created all these troubles?

Format SD card

Hi guys,

I have already read all the helps and trips and questions... but I cant format sd-system in my sdcard because when I try to convert to f2fs I just cant format because the partition have 0 (zero) MB of space...

I cant understand how this happens because I follow the procedure:

-- 1st: create "sd-data" (primary, ext4) with 1Gb minimum space

-- 2nd: create "sd-system" (primary, ext4) with 1.2 Gb minumum space

My recovery dont recognize the system... I trie several times with several partition sizes but I just cant create the right partitions in order to install the ROM...

I'm using Minitool partition manager to format the sd card.

Thanks to all and congrats for this ROM.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Djalaal:
Yesterday I installed Glade ROM, with my class 10 SD card having 3 partitions (9GB FAT32, sd-system f2fs 1.2GB & sd-data f2fs 4GB). Everything installed fine. However, using it is not so fine. I barely installed any apps yet (like 10), and I noticed that the system just randomly hangs. It responds extremely slowly to anything I do (2+ minutes to get to home screen after pressing the home button). It keeps this up for about 3-4 minutes, and then runs fine again. I see no pattern in the timing at which this hanging occurs.

*edit*

I tried CM 12, but same story. I'm gonna try switching back EXT4 now.

How to install this ROM - CM 12 (Android 5.0.x)

Hi,

I'm a beginner on this things... but I will share my procedures in order to install this ROM, just to complement the tutorial from kirmaniarslan...

I have a 8Gb Class 4 SD card... yes its slower than class 6/8/10... etc etc... but works fine.

- Install this freeware program "Minitool Partition Wizard" (link: http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html)

The big problem are the creation of the partitions... so, you have to do the partition according this steps (see image annex):

1. First partition:

1.1. Partition label: "sd" (without quotation marks).​

1.2. Create as: Primary.​

1.3. File system: FAT32.​

1.4. Size and location: depends of your sd card capacity.​

2. Second partition:

2.1. Partition label: "sd-data" (without quotation marks).​

2.2. Create as: Primary.​

2.3. File system: EXT4.​

2.4. Size and location: I allocate 1.5Gb space approx., but depends of your sd card..., at least allocate 1.5Gb for sd-data partition.​

3. Third partition:

3.1. Partition label: "sd-system" (without quotation marks).​

3.2. Create as: Primary.​

3.3. File system: EXT4.​

3.4. Size and location: I allocate 1.2Gb space approx., but depends of your sd card..., at least allocate 1.2Gb for sd-data partition.​

------- Partitions created successfuly------

- Then, flash TWRP 2.8.5.0 Recovery....

- Open recovery, select WIPE, check data, change partition to F2FS.... and do the same for System... it should show the word "Success"...

- Go back to WIPE and do a factory reset....

- Connect usb, mount sd card and transfer: 1. CM12.zip / 2. GAPPS.zip / 3. Open CM12.zip on your pc and copy boot.img only

- Remove carefuly sd card from PC, Unmount sd card on recovery...

- On recovery go to INSTALL, and flash CM12... NOTE: I wait 1h30 to complete the installation, so be pacient!!!

- Reboot system...

- If HTC logo stuck for more than 10min/15min... shut the phone down (remove battery)... go to recovery, and flash boot.img... (this happened to me).

- Start CM12... and then restart phone to recovery...

- Flash GAPPS...

- Reboot system...

- And Voila!!!

I create this little step-by-little step for people like me :) I'm not a pro...

Congratulations for this awsome ROM!!! Keep going...

hi bro... it was a 8 gb sd card i partitioned sd card for cm12 rom and flashed it worked... it was awsome... now i want to remove the sd... i tried formatting it shows only 5.12gb only... how can i get the full sd capacity...???
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] JRatzinger:
If you use Minitool, you have to delete all partitions of the sd card... then push button "apply", and then create the partitions like I said before... I guess this is your problem...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] dineshgl:
I did but it shows only 5 gb .... :( it doesnt shows the sd-ext partition which i created earlier....
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] dineshgl:
same as creating a single partition u hav to do it twice to get that... first do it 1gb then 1.2 gb.... dont get panic same as asusual ....

for f2fs u have to use latest twrp.... check here: http://xdaforums.com/htc-explorer/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-4-0-touch-recovery-t3016514
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] JRatzinger:
Your problem is how to get the sd card full capacity???

First I recommend that you remove the sd card from the phone and format it from a card reader (any external, or pc card reader... not through the phone!). Format it like I said in previous post. I believe that minitool recognize all card capacity.

And the other question... about how to convert to f2fs.... yes you have to flash the twrp provided (2.8.0.0, I guess) in order to convert from ext4 to f2fs.
