i previously had xperia z2, then galaxy s5 and now HTC m8. and there is no doubt M8 is best among them. and i think it is still worth to buy one. amazing speed, good camera, beautiful finishing.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Whether the phone is "worth it" to

you

, isn't a question other people can answer for you. It depends on what you have now, what you need the phone for, how much the money means to you, etc.

Its a great phone, and I can honestly say its probably still the best phone you can get at this time. Meaning, if I lost or broke my M8 and had to buy another phone for full price; I'd most likely just buy another M8.

On the other hand, if you have a decent phone now, there is likely going to be an impressive new HTC flagship coming in April. So you may want to wait. On the other hand, some folks switch phones like I change my underwear. So it really depends on

you

.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex26aly:
There are a couple of weeks since my phone was acting strange, losing signal and then rebooting,

first I thought it was the ROM, but no, then I tried to change the modem, got some improvements but still no,

then I realized that some time ago I DELETED everything on my phone, including the efs backup.

I tried almost every solution that I cold find, some were too complicated or I didn't understand the instructions.

Did someone had this issue and fixed it? please help me.

If i try to flash a stock firmware(don't know what version my phone had) will it fix the issue?

Waiting for some ideas, thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex26aly:
Nothing?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
I believe doing a proper flash of the stock firmware should restore the imei. Haven't experienced this problem myself but give it a try anyway.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex26aly:
this it what I was thinking, planning to do this tonight, hope that it works
[Sony Xperia M2] Miche1asso:
I have just bought the Xperia M2 (which is a great phone, actually, especially for that price), it immediately updated to KitKat 4.4.4, build 18.3.1.C.0.21. It isn't rooted, plain stock. At most everything seems fine but the compass. It is stuck at around 300 degrees. I tried to calibrate it with the Compass app (make an 8 figure), GPS Status (rotate the phone on its 3 axis) and going into services with *#*#7378423#*#* and then doing another 8 figure (with the phone vertical this time). Nothing, nothing, and nothing again! Compass actually reports that the surrounding magnetic field is too strong (?).

Is it working for anyone else? I would just hate to have to send back the phone. Also because the compass not working is usually a configuration issue, I may just get a new phone with the same exact problem.
[Sony Xperia M2] Miche1asso:
I think I've finally found a way to calibrate it. I've put the phone flat on a table after starting the Compass app calibration and I made it spinning like crazy. Obviously I have a back cover that doesn't get scratched, so be careful if you want to try the same. :)

PS: Mods you can close this if you like.

Bugs

Thx for work. I have installed this rom on my device. And noticed some issues.

1. Camera often crashes , especially Gallary application.

2. Supersu a little bit buggy. It doesn't allow permissions to default interpreter (shell) from adb shell interface.

3. After first Play Store run it suddenly closed and automatically removed from device.

4. Led is green , but battery charged 90% only.

Nevertheless thanks for your work.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
I notice many other devs are building odex type ROMs which save quite a few minutes on the initial boot.

My natural reaction is that the initial wait is worth not having odex type files which hamper user customization.

Just thinking outloud.

Right now some transparency settings are turned off due to low ram. Going to look into re-enabling.

If you can't stand to not have transparency and are willing to suffer some performance, you can turn the low_ram setting in the build.prop to false. (Until the performance setting is back that forces transparency)

Mounting a storage device, only allows PC to have access to files.

[MENTION=5970551]Thadigus[/MENTION]

Try some of

delete adbkey & adbkey.pub from /user/yourusername/.android

This worked for me one time to enable pushing a system image. Subsequent times the adbkey respawned and the KF went to showing as "offline" by ADB before I had a chance to push anything

try different computers

I've had a stubbon KF showing offline in recovery by ADB, I was able to setup Minimal ADB and push system image to recovery no problem on my work PC.

try different USB hubs

Just yesterday connecting my KF, all booted up with USB ADB debugging, using the front USB ports of a tower PC gave

“The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it.”

Connected to the back USB ports gave windows explorer access to internal storage with no problems

I presume this is something to do with the back ports being directly attached to the motherboard, but front ports going via some type of hub

obviously you've uninstalled/reinstalled drivers, but do this for all combinations of MTP / mount USB / not mounted in recovery, and try different drivers e.g. MTP USB device, Android Composite ADB Interface, Android ADB Interface, etc

I've been able to ADB push to my KF in recovery *without* it being specifically mounted (this in TWRP 2.7.1.0 before MTP option), and when I did mount USB it then wouldn't connect

Also as a last resort I've on a couple of times applied the emmc corruption fix from TWRP which wipes everything but bootloader (?) and started again from scratch. This should clear any ADBKeys hiding on the kindle. CAUTION: Big risk of bricking device here, you need to have the right bootloader so it stays active after the fix to enable flashing a recovery image, otherwise you're in the land of taking the back cover off and shorting circuit board connections to un-brick

I think the answer is somewhere in windows USB device management and in this tool http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html

But I can't make head or tail of it, but I do know that deleting USB device history will help, temporarily, and at least long enough to ADB push in recovery

You can see from the Nirsoft USBDeview screenshot that I have installed various drivers in the recent past to try and solve this KF USB connection issue, hmm lets list them:

WinUsb.sys - ClockworkMod - Google Nexus ADB Interface

usbccgp.sys - (Standard USB Host Controller) - USB Composite Device

WUDFRd.sys - android - Amazon OtterX

WinUsb.sys - Google, Inc. - Android ADB Interface

WinUsb.sys - Amazon.com - Android Composite ADB Interface

WinUSB.sys - Google, Inc. - Android Composite ADB Interface

I'd love if some windows USB expert who knows about ADB keys could come and make a definitive explanation/solution...!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mclad:
PS Not sure if this helps, I have been in a situ where all I could get was the bootloader/recovery menu like

MAIN MENU:

<----- CONTINUE BOOT

RECOVERY

ADVANCE ---->​

But could not advance to recovery itself. (I think I had the 2.05 bootloader but had accidently flashed an otter/blaze TWRP image rather than an otterx one) This is actually fastboot mode and you can flash a recovery using fastboot from the PC. However the KF continues to boot from this menu after a time period so first command might by "fastboot reboot-bootloader"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thadigus:
Okay through many different things I have come to being able to get it on the device using sideload. But I can't flash anything now because it says

E: error executing updater binary in zip '/data/media/sideload.zip

E: Unable to mount '/system'

I have TWRP v2.7.1.0 and Otterx Bootloader v1.4 all set up for Otterx Partitions.

1.4 is not OtterX

if you mean 2.04, cm12 will not install in 2.04 partitions

cm11 will

Oh darn okay then I'll go back to 2.05
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
if adb is working use the 2.05 zip

Well, I finally have this installed. It runs great but I had to re-flash the Bootloader and the Recovery. Then do wipes and formats in a million different ways, but some how I got it so that ADB recognized that it was in Recovery not Unauthorized. Then I was able to get the CM12 file on to the device with Sideload. Then after all of this messing around with the partitions I was able to flash it and boot on it. After in the ROM I used USB to get GAPPs on there and then flashed that and its working great! Thanks for all that help, you guys are awesome!

unable to install or update apps

Hi all,

I just updated my Otter X to Lollipop and everything seems to work fine and quite fast considering the age of the device. There is one crucial thing however: I'm unable to install new apps using the Play Store. Updating pre-installed apps is not working either.

The download is started but is aborted immediately with an error message is saying something like an error occurred while fetching information from the server.

Wifi is working fine though, I don't think it's an issue with the internet connection.

Anybody can point me in the right direction?

TWRP: 2.8.3.0

ROM: cm-12-20141130-UNOFFICIAL-otterx

GAPPS: gapps-lp-20141122-signed

It looks like the issue has been solved by doing a factory reset and couple of reboots. :)

Android 5.1

I compiled a CyanogenMod 12.1 build for otterx yesterday. This should be faster then previous builds since it has more low-ram optimizations. It also has transparency :D.

I use these minimal gapps with this ROM.

Download

This is my first ROM compiled with Ubuntu 15.04.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
Many thanks Josh for your efforts indeed!

Just wondering why not a separate thread? People will not find your release in the middle of this thread. I think this should be treated as different rom than Hashcode's one with its own pros and cons. What do you think?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
I think he was being polite, as this build has no customizations, and is a "repo sync / brunch otterx" cm-12.1 (which anyone can do).

Credit to Josh who has supported the CM build by submitting patches to review for the low ram settings.

I can update the thread and change ROM and gapps d/l links.

is there a way to change the device to look like a nexus 7 in the market

as a lot of apps are shown as not compatible with the device?

p.s. unfort i cant install facebook i always get Unknown Error Code During Aplication Installation "-504" from playstore and when installing sideloaded apk (es file explorer) from firehdx with cm 5.1

i get unknow error installing apk
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nighthawkca:
Thanks so much joshuabg! I just did a clean install and it's running very well so far. It's generally pretty smooth with some stuttering, not bad for such an old device. The only issue I've had so far is that the google calendar closes whenever I put it into agenda mode. I'll run it for a couple of days an look at how well it deep sleeps. If you make more builds, I'll install them and test. :)

You need to install repo from google. Have you done this? http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html#installing-repo

Have you added PATH=~/bin:$PATH to your .bashrc?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nighthawkca:
I followed the instructions posted on this wiki to the letter:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_otterx

So I didn't do exactly what that page says, I did this:

$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo

$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

Does that do the same thing? I can try the other way, but will I create a conflict?

The wiki instructions also says this for the PATH:

You can check this by opening ~/.profile with a text editor and verifying the following code exists (add it if it is missing):

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists

if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then

PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"

fi

I verified that this was correct. I don't have a .bashrc so I'll try that next.

It sounds like I may have followed the wrong instructions. Is there a different place I should look for the overall instructions?

Thanks for your help! :)

(btw - I am running linux mint with cinnamon. so far, all ubuntu things work just fine in mint since that's what it's built on)

I repeated the procedure here one more time: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_otterx

The only change I made was that I changed to 12.1 in the repo init command:

This time everything worked perfectly and the build was created. I installed the build on my device and it's running great. I'm not sure what went wrong the first time, but now it's fine. Thanks for the inspiration to try the build procedure again. :)
