[HTC One S] shangzhang:
You are the man $droyd$.

Thanks so much for the ROM. I've been using it for more than 24 hours. This is the Lollipop I like the most. It's smooth and responsive. No random reboot. Battery looks normal. Just missing some features in your previous ROMs. But it's normal at the early stages of a new ROM.

BTW, is it possible to get the option to change Recent button to Menu button? Or is there a way to do it manually? I do need menu button.

hboot 2.15, radio 1.20
[HTC One S] derkleinebroicher:
There is an option, to set long press home button as open/close menu. I don't know, where exactly in this rom, but it might be under interface. Otherwise you have to search a bit.
[HTC One S] shangzhang:
Yes, it's under interface. Thanks very much. That solves the problem. Now it's my daily driver.

Nice one $droid$ - as always :)!

Just one thing - is it me or is it not possible to change lcd density? When I change the value within settings and reboot nothing changes. I found out that when I change the value und then click again to see my lcd-density settings it is back to 240. Even when I change the value in build.prop is has no effect... any idea? Thanks
[HTC One S] mariachi62:
Btw do you actually consider adding a equalizer like viper4android? I really like that one but the standard app keeps crashing when opening other apps so I thought implementing it into the rom might help?!

[LG Optimus G Pro] fosunite:
Hello guys and girls,

I wanted to go back to the good old jellybean 4.3.x roms which were declared as 'stable' releases and i ve installed the viper4android app.

The driver installation went fine until after reboot that there is no audio effect working.

I ve been trying with the latest viper version 2.3.3.0 on every jellybean 4.3.x roms and the same problem occured.

I want to have the viper4android working as normal mode. The compatible mode is partially working on some players and i mostly listen to the internet radio called tuneIn. obviously the audio effects on that isnt working, even being in compatible mode.

Is there any possible workaround or fixes or even any methods to get the audio effects working there? Or is it only a child' s desease on all provided jb 4.3.x roms that the audio effects arent working??!

Thanks in advance

I recently purchased a T-mobile Xperia Z3 D6616 with the hopes of using it internationally but it seems it can't be unlocked traditionally by entering unlock code. When inserting a non t-mobile sim there is no prompt to enter unlock code. Since i am not a T-mobile customer i can not utilize the "Device Unlock" app that comes pre-installed on the ohone. So my question is... Is there any other method of sim unlocked the T-mobile branded Xperia Z3 D6616?

Try flashing a generic ftf and see if it asks you for a unlock code
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjack3410:
Thanks for your response. I actually tried to flash the generic d6603 ftf but to no avail. Just got back a lot of errors in flashtool. Do you know if the have a generic ftf for the d6616?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
As far as I know no, espescially since bootloader in also not unlockable yet, only way is to be on contract with the phone on T-Mobile for at least 45 days. Also you are better off getting other versions of the Z3 as they support a lot more LTE bands.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjack3410:
Thanks for your response. I guess i'll try contacting T-mobile customer service to see if they can offer any advice.

Thanks again.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Are you a T-Mobile customer in the US going on trips or did you just buy it to use it in your home country?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjack3410:
Purchased it for use in the West Indies but looks like I won't be able to use it after all.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Better return it and get the international version. Even in US D6603 is the unlocked version.

The D6616 has only 3 LTE bands and may not be compatible in your area, for LTE service. Only advantage of the D6616 is that it has 32GB vs 16GB for other versions.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjack3410:
Would it be possible to create a flashable generic ftf for the z3 d6616 by editing some of the files of the generic d6603 ftf?

or to flash a rom that prompts the code

or is there any metropcs z3 rom that surely can be flashed even with locked bootloader to tmobile version?

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
On some phones like the Sprint LG G2 there was a work around using root and the HTC M8 using root+SuperCID, but is most cases root won't help with the SIM Lock.

Only thing you can do is, give it to a TMO user for 40 days and then T-Mobile will unlock it, over the air after you call them.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Nightmare:
So it may be possible from my testing of the HTC one m9, but it's tricky with the z3. So since we can't flash any ftf file at all to the d6616, our only other option would be to root the device via kingroot, since its the only current option to root the d6616(do read the notice in the thread), do a rom backup and then proceed to flash a generic stock rom from an international device without T-Mobile customization, since what's restricting us to the T-Mobile unlock app is the csc, we can just edit that, but flashing a rom is a lot less messy. (I'm not sure if generic roms flashed via recovery work, since yet to root mine and I usually don't keep stock backups alongside the factor that ftf files are useless.), but as I was saying, once the generic rom boots, it should ask for a sim unlock code.

Note: the code may or may not work based on what mods the rom developer has implemented, since on the m9 it only worked with arhd which is a super basic rom, while it wouldn't work with Leedroid.

Hi. I'm working in a school, and we're evaluating use the crhomecast to show contents on a tv.

The scenario is --> Have multiple nearby classrooms.

The teacher can connect their classroom Chromecast.

Mainly need if the teacher sends a video, another person cannot interrupt this (teasing the class)

Multiple platform like Android, iOS, Windows, mac, etc...

Is a must root the device?

Is it posible?

I heard something called kiosk mode, is it true?

Thanks
[Google Chromecast] primetechv2:
Pranksters can hijack your Chromecast to show whatever they want. It's a feature, not a bug.

Somebody needs to make an AlternativeTo...
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
This is possible and it does not require the device to be rooted, but it does require you to set up a private WiFi network. You could then hook up the Chromecast to the private network (password protected) and it wouldn't show up for anyone who is not on the network.
[Google Chromecast] crypt0kiddie:
I work for the technology consortium at our county ISD. We service about 50 schools and a good deal of them have chromecast in all the classrooms.

We had to deal with this exact problem and right now the only solution was as already pointed out a separate private network for the chromecast. Actually all of our staff devices are on separate networks from the students. The teachers can see the Chromecasts from their issued MacBook, iPad, Chromebooks, desktop PCs etc.

What we've done is to use PSKs for each device so that even if a student were to go to say the teachers Windows based computer for example and steal the network key it wouldn't work for them. We had to go this route because of a projector debacle we had. All of our classroom Epson projectors are networked and the students had figured out the wireless key and used the wireless key along with the Epson wifi remote app to turn off projectors during class lol that is definitely something I would have done when I was in school!

Anyway after that happened we went to separate student and staff networks and everything has a PSK now.

Unfortunately when Google designed the chromecast they were not really thinking classroom. As more and more schools are switching away from iPads and going to Chromebooks and using things like chromecast I would think that at some point they would develop in features for education or have a separate model for education that has these types of securities but right now this is about the best you can do.

I can definitely tell you that whenever we talk to our rep from Google we ***** about the Chromecast not having better security because ultimately we want a solution that allows the students to use them too but not hijack them. We would like each student who's presenting to be able to connect to them when the teacher allows. Unfortunately there's just no management that can do that easily that I'm aware of.

Today Screen Search

- "Windows Live Search" Confusion Resolved:

1. The file you (windows live mobile, search for "Windows Live Mobile.zip") did contain the application that would allow you to have the very thin search bar on the today screen. It puts a "Windows Live" icon on your applications menu(/screen).

2. Microsoft Live Search ("LiveSearch.cab") is a FANTASTIC application. It puts a "Live Search" icon on your applications menu(/screen). It has these small but very powerful applications built into it: Categories, Map, Directios, Traffic, Movies, and Gas Prices. For example for "Gas Prices", that tells you where you can find gas the cheapest - near where you live! It does NOT have the Today Screen search bar.

Today Screen Search Plugin (Windows Live > Google)

I know this is an old topic, but if someone comes across this post in a search as I did and are still interested in how to change the Windows Live Today Screen Search Plugin to use Google Mobile Search, this is how to do it (for Windows Mobile Pro 6.1; probably be the same for other versions of Windows Mobile as well):

1. Obviously you need a registry editor. I use the free PHM Registry Editor [http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/RegEdit/]

2. Open the registry editor and browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Services > Windows Live > HSAppPlugins.

3. I would copy the 'SearchURL' value, then rename it by adding "Backup" after 'SearchURL', then paste, thereby creating an original and a backup just in case. Alternatively you could export 'SearchURL' to back it up.

4. Modify the 'SearchURL' data to: http://www.google.com/m?source=mobileproducts&q=

5. Press Ok and exit the registry editor. A reset of any kind is not necessary, the modified Windows Live Today Screen Search Plugin will work with Google Mobile Search instantly.
[Palm Treo 750] PikaC:
The solution is really quite simple. Download Googlesearch.CAB to your phone. Just point PIE to m.google.com/search or you can have them text you the .cab file.

It's actually better than the treo search plugin since it remembers your last query.
