[Motorola Droid 4] K.MS:
Dear all,

after rooting and flashing Safestrap 3.73 on my Motorola Droid 4 I have big display problems... All the rows are displayed very weird, like pixels are replaced and put in a new order.

You can see shades and colored areas, but it's impossible to recognize any font or proper geometric details.

The touchscreen navigation works normal, after having a working Droid 4 with 3.72 next to my broken one to check where to push on the screen.

But even with that, I dont have any sucess in flashing CM11.. I can't read the console so I don't know where the problem is. goign back to stock rom is also not working, it's in a endless loop.

Does anyone have any Idea how to get this to work? I would try Safestrap 3.72 (my friend uses this).. But how can I flash it?

Or how can I remote flash any firmware on my phone??? Its not recognized by my pc in Safestrap boot screen!

If I could redirect the display output (e.g. via hdmi) it could be possible

Thank you very much for your suggestions

[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
If you can not get to stock, you will need to flash stock firmware/XML with rsd lite
[Motorola Droid 4] K.MS:
Hey sd_shadow,

thanks for your answer.

Yes, I'm sure I used the version for the droid 4.

Downloaded it from there: https : // goo.im/devs/Hashcode/maserati/safestrap

Hmm, but how to flash the firmware with RSD lite when the usb mode can't be activated? Or is there a way to establish a connection with the computer while in Safetrap?

Did some research, but didn't really find out more..

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
to flash with RSD lite Droid 4 must be in ap fastboot mode see my http://xdaforums.com/droid-4/general/how-to-droid-4-xt894-t2844021

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] adrianl623:
Hey all I was wondering if there was an app where we can double tap the home button and it brings the top half of the screen down so that way we can reach buttons easier. The iPhone six has this feature and I think it would come in handy on all big phones like the iPhone six.

Sometimes when your trying to use the phone one handed you just can't reach the hamburger button on the Play Store.

Nothing major but I'm sure it'll be something that people would use.:)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bmg1001:
Maybe for Xposed once it's released for ART
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Bjray:
I know something better. Pie ;)

It's been working perfectly this whole week with the menu button.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Baldilocks:
I've tried Pie and I just don't like it. This is why Android should have never abandoned the Menu button.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Pilz:
Long pressing the recent apps is the new menu button.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Baldilocks:
That only works with Samsung devices.

It works on my G3 (just tested it) but I haven't felt a need to use the menu button in along time.

Thanks for starting the thread...

Already bricked one, but I have another. Tell me, would resetting after five seconds had elapsed (as opposed to exactly five seconds) after applying the root exploit corrupt this process?

Still willing to root the second one... for science.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m27frogy:
I'm about positive that the app tells you to wait 10 seconds not 5. For the bricked one I added a guide which should hopefully revive it.

Bricked memopad...

That could be true! If that is the case I am probably closer, as I waited a few extra seconds. I got distracted for a few seconds and proceeded to reboot. Just let me know when/if I should try on the other device, I can't wait to root this thing.

My eventual goal is to run multiple various Linux live images from th SD card.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m27frogy:
Just to clarify, this is the way things are panning out:

1. It's unknown exactly how the ME170CX boots into flashboot. It could either be bundled with the boot.img or somehow a part of the panic partition.

2. I was unaware that .img files required a specific format in fastboot (I just assumed that when a "*nix" system makes an .img file it's an .img file not a .customformattedpartitionwithanunneccessarydescriptorimg) It'll be a while as I try to figure out how to take the raw image of the system partition and turn it into something that fastboot will accept.

3. Projects in RL are making it rather difficult to keep up with things so updates won't come quickly.

4. If someone is able to make a breakthrough with the boot system or with the fastboot img, I will be glad to add their post to the OP.

Thanks, hang in there guys! We'll get there eventually. :crying:

thank you, any advise is much appreciated:) :)
[General Topics] XSEbbe:
Hi,

at the first start of tomtom, could you select a voice? If yes, then maybe you just turned down the volume of your orbit. It already happened to me and i wondered why couldn't hear anything.

The voices should be in the root of the sd-card in the folder 'voices'. The files are named 'data' followed ba a two-digit number, depending on the voice.

I get a lot of this wake lock as well, no idea what it is
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mobrules777:
The first one is the connection to a wireless network. No idea on the second. Download gsam battery monitor. Let it run for 24 hrs after a full charge. Gsam has a built in app called app sucker. Open that and at the top there is a drop down menu to view kernel wake locks. Then you can select each one and after that opens there's a button that says Google me. That'll tell you what each one is.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] dluxx06:
I posted this on the Motorola Support forums as well as a question on the msm_hsic_host wakelock and one person said this

"I think that the "wlan_wow_wl wakelock" is a software lock included in the Android OS and installed so that your phone does not wake every time it sees your (or other) wireless network access points. I believe the msm_hsic_host wakelock is related to the data radio for the same purpose. Both designed to keep battery drain to a minimum when the phone is idle.."

so guess these wakelocks are good to have.

So these are wakelocks to avoid wakelocks? Lol

Is there any solution with battery drain"wlan_wow_wl wakelock"?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ban.codrut:
Do you have this app installed : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.loadinghome.smartunlock

Or anything similar that uses some kind of rule based on wireless SSID ?

Or even an wireless files sharing app that stays on ?

That wlan_wow_wl is cased of periodic scans of the wireless status IMO, like searching for networks around you or looking if you are still connected to certain network!

You could try disabling "always WiFi scan". In Android 5 is found under advance settings from WiFi menu(from the 3dots menu), in Android 6 is found under geolocalisation (GPS) in the search menu(from the 3dots menu)

I have one of the Nokia Wireless Charging car mounts. Had been using it without issues on the S4- Using the S5, became interesting . The position of the charging puck was way off internally. So I decided to mod it ever so slightly. Grabbed a heat gun and melted the the NFC nub down so it was flat allowing the device to move freely in the charging adapter. All worked fine. No issues. Now the NOTE 4, works fine still but it is ugly. The melted nub looks 'off' and I want it to have a cleaner look.

SO- Whats available out there? What Wireless Charging Car Docks are out there? The Nokia one is bomber, I like it. Mine is just hurting in appearance due to the heat gun modification.

I also use the Nokia Vertical desktop Wireless charging stand. It too had to be modified It was simpler though. No heat gun, simply open it up from the bottom, 4 screws, then pull the base off slowly. another 2 screws for the charging port. Unsnap the vertical part. and you can see the wireless charging coil is centered in there. Held into place with double sided tape, there is a .5" or so piece of plastic on the top part of the coil. Remove it by cutting and pull the coil farther up in the vertical area. Secure it,

( i used hot glue) , and put it all back together. I moved mine up about half an inch or little more. Now, the s4, s5, and Note 4 all charge on it also without issue.

If anyone is interested in any of the MODS on those I have already, I can post up a step by step in picture form.

i use the choetech t510 from amazon & the itian from ebay.

the choetech needs its bottom prongs cut and then it fits perfectly.

The itian needs the bottom extended and the side needs to be wedged out a little before it fits.

Both work fine with modifications as noted.

i used scotch outdoor double sided tape from home depot (the red one with double sided peel off) and it sticks fine vertically to the dashboard.

I have a custom rear view mirror relocation bracket with a RAM Ball on it. Type B/ 1" Ball. - With the Nokia mount, you can disassemble the mount all the way down to the BALL - Using a Ram Mount Extension arm, I connect the mount to the rearview ball mount. Solves the suction cup, adhesive, mount issues. Plus I stay in compliance with state laws. Nothing hanging on the windshield or rearview mirror statute.

Most of the mounts can be broken down far enough to access the BALL or be modified to accept a ball.

I like mine in a position where it is in my line of site, or slightly off to one side. Set the screen brightness dimmer or lighter depending on the condition.

Occasionally I will set the phone on my steering wheel column, jack the brightness up all the way, and use it as a heads up display. The light bounces off the windshield and works awesome. Occasional movies on long trips to keep me up, maps, hangouts with voice over.

Hi

Was told to post here from an original post on Android Central.

Basically, I "rooted" my phone a while back (I installed Franco Kernel to save battery power) and now I am keen on installing Lollipop, but when I see the Lollipop update come up I try to follow instructions but after rebooting it doesn't install. Apparently, because I'm not running the stock kernel, I might need to "Reflash the stock ROM (with the stock kernel), then update."

Can anyone explain to me in very simple lay terms, step by step, how I do that? (if that is indeed what Im supposed to do).

Am on a Nexus 4 running 4.4 with Franco Kernel.

Would be really grateful for advice.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andynx1:
Do you have a custom recovery? If so, you can download and flash any of the lollypop AOSP ROMs from the Android Development section here. Get the TWRP ap off google play to install a custom recovery, if you don't have one. This is all quite easy.

If you want full original "stock", you could do what I did:

Make sure fastboot (ADB) is installed on your PC.

Download the google stock image, available to download from google.

Push this from your pc to phone, google for instructions.

Then come back here to find out how to re-root.

But do a full nandroid backup first, whatever you do.
