Cool. I'll def be rooting. I was looking at it seems some lollipop Roms are starting to drop.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whizinc:
I want the kitkat bootloader to flash a custom rom which requires KK BL. The propblem is that right now i have Carbon Rom on my Razr M and carbon rom requires JB BL. So i downgraded my phone to JB and flashed Carbon Rom. Now i want to flash another ROM which requires KK BL. So guys I need to know how do i get the KK BL? I have to Flash stock SBF of Kitkat through RSD? if so then which XML should i use? As I am on a custom rom i doubt that the stock XML will brick or something like that i just want the KK BL.. anyone who will be willing to help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Notice: My Phone is on JB BL and a custom rom (carbon) is flashed in it right now.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
AFAIK, you do have to go through the whole RSD process. Use the official XML. Custom XMLs are for downgrading. Do not worry about bricking - all partitions will be wiped.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whizinc:
Thank you for your reply sir but if you could help me more that would be really appreciated... Can you please paste or copy the XML here which i can use to flash through RSD? i heard that if we dont remove Getvar lines and i guess OEM lines we can get bricked? im really concious about bricking because i cant afford to brick my only phone. if you could give me the XML for flashing offficial KK on a custom rom that would be really appreciated. :) and also im going to flash the unofficial CM 12 on my Razr M
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATTACK:
The only real risk is downgrading firmware not upgrading. All you need to do is flash the stock firmware (with the stock xml) with RSDlite.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Mario:
Just don't take the OTA, it has bricked few peoples' RAZR M phones already. That's all. And on the safe side, I always omit tz.mbn and gpt.bin as they could wreck the phone if not done carefully.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
The latest firmware is posted in the General section, should be pretty easy to find.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whizinc:
thank you so much people for giving your opinions I am gonna flash the stock Sbf through RSD with the stock XML but i will remove tz.mbn and gpt.bin they are the deal breakers i guess. I'll flash it tomorrow morning. I'll post the results ASAP.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whizinc:
i have the latest firmware. i just wanted to know how should i flash it because i am on a custom rom right now and i just dont want my phone to be bricked :D
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whizinc:
SOLVED

okay guys my problem is solved. sorry for late post as i had some personal issues. okay so i did what i said earlier and flashed KITKAT OFFICIAL SBF on my Custom Rom flashed Droid Razr M. The process went flawless so if anyone wants to flash the stock kitkat rom on a custom rom of JB BL they can use the almost stock XML file i just removed some lines.. if anyone wants to cut to the chase and if anyone doesnt wants to edit the XML by their selves and they are afraid of getting bricked or something like me so i am attaching the XML file i used. if anyone is in the situation like me feel free to use this XML. YOU WONT GET BRICKED if you are upgrading your BL. ;):good:
[Samsung Gear S] sweets55:
I have 10 more days to decide if the Gear S is a keeper or not. I like it a lot but I'm just wondering if I will still like the watch after the newness wears off say in a few months. Also wondering how much I'll use it. The few issues I have with the watch are the battery dock is annoying to charge. imo It has a sweet spot but I can never find it. lol Also wish the watch had social apps like G+ and Hangouts. It's been years since I used a watch so I'm still getting use to that. It seems that the size of my wrist is in between notches. It's either a little to lose or to tight.
[Samsung Gear S] locedandloaded:
I feel u, but in IMO with future software updates to iron out the bugs, developers adding more of the more popular apps, the Gear S will only get better. I personally feel this is the future of the smart watch. With more ram, larger storage, same size or slimmer with longer battery life and replacement band with camera, it can be a true phone replacement.
[Samsung Gear S] cljack3:
You can always get a Moto 360. I am not sure I understand your question. Is there another smartwatch on the market that has the same features as the Gear S or in the foreseeable future?
[Samsung Gear S] sweets55:
If I return my Gear S I doubt I'll get another watch.
[Samsung Gear S] wase4711:
those same concerns are what has kept me from pulling the trigger so far on this guy..

not wearing a watch for years makes it difficult for you to decide; for myself, I have worn large watches for many years, so at least that part of the decision isnt there for me. Like you said, just not sure that 3 months from now, I will still want to wear it every day...
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
I have the same thoughts. I think it will improve with either more OTAS and/or root. I do wonder if a better model in under a year will eclipse this one?
[Samsung Gear S] sweets55:
Always something better coming out but I kind of think the Gear S is ahead of it's time.
[Samsung Gear S] PHDGaming:
I like the Gear S design and believe it to be a well-done device. However... I disagree with others about the future of app support on the device. Samsung has tried the proprietary OS in the past with Bada and that never received a critical level of support. Furthermore the market is smaller than Android Wear and most developers report poor app sales at the moment. So while major stuff may eventually be ported, it currently is unlikely to be platform of choice for independents unless Samsung makes a new app challenge. (Many of the apps in the store now are from the original "Samsung Gear App Challenge" that brought the store from 300 to over 1,000 around that contest's deadline).

So... yeah... unless Samsung invests into further, likely not a future-proof device sadly but great to use for this moment.
[Samsung Gear S] wase4711:
there is no such thing as a future proof device...

and frankly, outside of more app support, which, the jury is still out on how much more you may want to do from a smart watch. that can be added to a device like this, imo..some might want a camera, but thats not important to me..

since i've seen how you can use this watch as a phone/text/music device without even having a samsung phone, once more folks realize that, it should increase its popularity. Especially considering that Android wear, at this point cant make calls, send emails, web surf, or really do much of anything besides implement a visual version of Google Now., and receive notifications.
[Samsung Gear S] jlczl:
Note that AW can receive AND reply to notifications. Something the Gear S cannot do in many cases.

I've been trialing a Gear S for several days and I posted my thoughts on AC.

It's unique is one reason why I am keeping it... I am going to post my Gear 2 on Craigs List and just stay with the Gear S...but the root and the Gear 2 made it better when I added the custom rom made for it...for Tizen made it a bit better so I will hold out hoping that comes to the Gear S
[Samsung Gear S] sweets55:
If you ordered online you wouldn't have to pay a restocking fee. I was lucky the manager said he would credit my account 25 for overnight shipping.
[Samsung Gear S] wase4711:
when exactly can a gear S NOT reply to a notification???
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
If root appears would you want to try a AW ROM
[Samsung Gear S] jlczl:
Hangouts (though an app to fix this called Notifications for Gear S is out), and all other 3rd party apps (IG, FB, GroupMe, etc.). Plus you can only dismiss emails, not delete them.
[Samsung Gear S] wase4711:
yeah, I know about hangouts, so I just use stock sms, which works perfectly..the other apps you mentioned arent important at all for me when I would be using the watch independently..

As far as not deleting emails on the phone, I dont want them to; the watch is only a "temp" way for me to deal with stuff; I prefer to decide once I get home/to the office on what to do with them..

here again, everyone uses technology differently; its great to have choices:good:
[Samsung Gear S] jlczl:
This is interesting. This was my first Gear so I'm not up to date with how much development previous Gears got. What are the chances of getting root and ROMs on it?
[Samsung Gear S] paesan:
I am on day 4 with the Gear S and on the fence on whether to return it. I did get it at the store so I would have to eat the restocking fee of $50. I would rather lose $50 than have a $350 device that is put in a drawer. I have not worn a watch in years and I have found that the strap is very uncomfortable. The plastic band makes me sweat. I find the charging dock very difficult to attach to the watch. The other thing is the lack of apps for the device and I wonder how many will actually come out.
[Samsung Gear S] wase4711:
Good question; the Gear series has sold really well, but not sure what bringing root/roms would do to improve this device. Although, all things Samsung seem to be the favorite "brand" for all sorts of development.

Understandable, as this watch is a tough one to make your "first" watch to wear, in many years..
[Samsung Gear S] jlczl:
Number 1 thing would be compatability with non Samsung apps so we could use Hangouts and Gmail as well as a multitude of 3rd party apps that the Gear S does not communicate with as well as AW does.

Number 2 would be 2 way communication between watch and phone. If something is deleted on the watch it would also be deleted on the phone and vice versa.

Number 3 would be full compatability with non Samsung phones.

Number 4 would be customization of battery saving features and other settings

Those are just off the top of my head. I'm pretty sure other people smarter than me could come up with even more.

---------- Post added at 08:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 AM ----------

It would be great though if we had the option to just dismiss it or delete it. That's one of the things that irks me. Come on Samsung, gimme a choice at least.

Nothing really, its just crippled.

I have found that the modded sview services app for the international (I believe) model will run on the tmobile/metropcs variant but touch doesnt seem to be working.

[HTC Startrek] zetajunkie:
anyone else with the newest qtek rom using stereo bluetooth headphones? when i pause media player (with the phone open or from the external controls) things stop fine. when i start from the external buttons, music plays thru the speaker instead of the headphones. i have to disable and reenable the bluetooth connection to get to the music flowing again. i haven't noticed the issue if media player is stopped and started with the flip open. any thoughts?

i was thinking it was hardware related to the external buttons, but the buttons control everything fine, until the phone has been folded up for an hour or so,and then i try and use the external buttons (after i unlock the buttons, since i keep them locked and unlock them as needed).

Hey guys,

given the fact that I'm somewhat of a noob in the android world, then I smh messed up my phone a little. I'm running CM12 lollipop rom by thewhisp, everything works well, but I lost root access and can't get it back. I tried the method I used when I first rooted the phone (http://androidxda.com/root-samsung-galaxy-express-2-sm-g3815) with Odin, but it does not work anymore and I am lost. The phone still somewhat works, but apps like ROM Manager etc freeze and crash (possibly due to lost root access) and every 15-20 min it reboots randomly. Anyway, while I tried to reroot, it restored the stock recovery and I'm a bit scared to try anything on my own. Ideas? :)

2. Grid down to the pixel (much finer than 12x12)

3. Font selection for icon text

SS hasn't seemed to figure out the transparent nav bars yet, but supposedly they are working on it. They were fine in Kitkat. Sticking with SS for now.

Hello XDA Community!

As this is my first post here - first, some information about me.

My name is Tomasz (Tom / Thomas). I am a programmer in medium-sized company located in Torun, Poland. I've started my adventure with Android few months ago, when I have bought my first smartphone with green robot OS.

I wanted to introduce to all of you my first Android game - Color Mania. The rules of this game are quite simple: you have to click on the brighter shade of the same color. Everytime you choose correct, you gain some additional time. Every fifty correct choices you gain another extra time but you have to be careful - one mistake and game is over.

From the technical side - it is an effect of my four hours work with LibGDX and still needs some work. All graphics was made by me with Inkscape. It is inspired by two, currently popular games - Flappy Bird and Timberman. Something like "Hello World". :)

As I am used to iteration-based work, I wanted to publish this game as soon as possible, counting on some feedback from users. I hope that, you - as more experiences Android programmers will write some advices, tips (maybe about app promotion or UX?).

I have no right to post outside URL-s, so you have to remove all spaces from below link and add 'h' letter to the prefix. Sorry!

Google Play store: ttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.to_dev.color_mania.android

Screens are available at the Google Play store (and project site to which link you can find at Google Play).
