[G 2014 General] Seriously Ponies?:
In order to root Lollipop, you have to flash a custom recovery such as TWRP. The issue is how to revert back to stock recovery for OTA updates.

Fortunately, it's relatively simple and doesn't require downloading a recovery image from some shady third-party hosted website -- the stock recovery installation is still there on your phone!

Tools required:

A root-enabled file manager, such as Root Browser or Ghost Commander

Depending on the abilities of your file manager, a terminal program, such as Terminal Emulator

(Optional) Flashify, to backup your stock recovery for the future

1. Using your favorite file manager, rename /system/recovery-from-boot.bak to /system/recovery-from-boot.p

note: depending on the file manager, you might need to remount system as read/writeable first

2. execute (with root privileges) the shell script /system/bin/install-recovery_original.sh

if you use Root Browser as your file manager, you can execute this script as root directly. Otherwise go to the terminal app and type:

cd /system/bin

su

./install-recovery_original.sh

This will install the stock recovery.

3. Reboot into recovery to make sure it worked

4. (Optional) Backup the stock recovery using flashify. Now you'll be able to revert to stock recovery in the future without going through all these steps!
[G 2014 General] uetian2k3f:
I currently have KitKat installed (4.4.4), rooted, unlocked bootloader & TWRP installed on my XT1063 and unable to receive OTA updates. I've checked your proposed method. There's no "install-recovery-original.sh" file in system/bin rather there's a shortcut of the file "install-recovery.sh" this shortcut points to "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh". My question is that if i execute this file "install-recovery.sh" will it restore stock recovery? I've the backup file placed at the location mentioned by you and i've already renamed it to "recovery-from-boot.p".
[G 2014 General] Seriously Ponies?:
yup. the filename is different on lollipop.
[G 2014 General] uetian2k3f:
Thanks! I'll give it a try.
[G 2014 General] Sakura90:
This looks great. So now we can go flashing custom recoveries and then be able to revert to stock anytime, without relying on "shady third-party hosted websites". Good find :good:

Please, I need the original recovery in format "img" to flash with fastboot, can anyone upload? Thanks in advance!
[G 2014 General] svendsvin:
And now you can have OTA updates?
[G 2014 General] Wolfcity:
Only if you are unrooted and on stock firmware without any changes too.

Good Day,

As we all know due to the recent changes in US Law making cellphone unlocking legal again, one of the US major prepaid service provider TracFone Wireless Inc. will now be required to unlock a cellphone upon request provided that upon request certain requirements are met. We have all known that "ole" TracFone has been the one to claim that cellphone unlocking should never be legalized due to presenting a threat to National Security and other risk factors. It has been proven that this is not always the case but apparently it's just the way TracFone decided to do business(Business Model). I really want to see how TracFone will handle this as I know this is a real torture for them to be able to abide by this.

I wanted to start this thread to find out what are the opinion for the general masses that us one or more services from TracFone. Feel free to comment if you are waiting on this day or whatever you need to say with regards. All are welcome to comment.
[General Questions and Answers] JohnDroider:
... TF policy seems similar to others

Here is Tracfone's unlocking policy:

www dot tracfone dot com/includes/content/popup/unlocking_policy.jsp

(I hope it is ok to insert this psuedo-link before until I've reached the 10 post bar.)

Seems to me to be much the same as other carriers:

1) you are or have been a customer

2) for a year

3) the fone is unlockable

Not better, not worse - IMO.
[General Questions and Answers] aromerblz:
Anyone called tracfone/net10/straight talk for an unlock code yet?
[General Questions and Answers] WartuneBteam:

[General Questions and Answers] Sevenmph:
I have a friend in the Philippines. Her sister sent her a straight talk J7 and shipped it. Unfortunately straight talk/ is refusing to unlock it even they don't offer service to the area. I wish they would have asked me first. I would have said never, ever do business with tracphone. So I am holding out hope for a solution soon to unlock her J7.

Hi, I have a question if anyone here has tried to get the TyTN and Nokia´s new BT-handsfree BH801 to work?

TyTN finds and connects to the BH801, but they dont seem to work.

It all seems to work correct, activationcode is filled in, use as hansfree is activated.

Anyone got a solution??

Thanx!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Erik_S:
By the way, NOKIA support says that the BH-801 only supports;

Bluetooth 2.0, 1.2 and 1.1 specification,

Handsfree 1.5 (HFP) and headset 1.1 (HSP) profiles.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] basilrsa:
I could not give you an answer to your problem, but can only let you that the Nokia HS-12W works great on the new AKU 3.3 ROM's. I have the WWE version on my TyTN and the only change I had to make was to activate the stereo setting in the A2DP registry.

Previously I had great deal of problems getting the same headset to work on the SA ROM 1.35. Bitpool changes in the registry as well as Sleuths A2DP fix were necessary.

By the way I have also had amazing results with the HTC BH S100 Bluetooth stereo headset. The great thing about this device is that it allows the user the option to use their own favourite 3.5mm headset.

Regards
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Erik_S:
Hi, and thanks for your reply.

It´s seems a bit tricky to get it working, fiddeling in the program isnt something as I would prefer getting in to, as I´m a noob! :-)

But can anyone see if the profiles that NOKIA demands is supported in TyTN?

And if so, how can I get there??

By the way, I have a swedish TyTN with following setup;

ROM-version: 1.18.263.2

ROM-datum: 07/22/06

Radioversion: 1.07.01.10

Protokollversion: 32.40.7010.02H

ExtROM-version: 1.18.263.104

Hello!!

I Have 2 questions:

Does the Nexus 6 from ATT Comes with the ATT crap bloatware?

If yes, Can I flash the factory image provided in the Google Website to have a fresh/bloatware-free Nexus 6?

Thanks in advance:cool:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
if you set up atts nexus 6 without a sim card installed first, it wont install atts crapware. then you put the sim in after.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kratz17:
Thank you so much my friend!:)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashercarlton:
Make sure and leave the sim card out. Some of the first batches they sent out had an issue where the screen would go black and you couldn't do anything. I had this apparently after multiple flashes of Stock Images. Apparently it has something to do with the way AT&T is installing the two apps and ringtones they do and then it glitches out and screws you over. rebooting just creates a bootloop that never makes it to the OS. So save yourself the trouble

Leave the Simcard Out until you complete the setup process.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gigawatt:
I think also every time you re-setup the device or reset, you will need to do the same thing, as motorola has a hidden partition on the att device called oem that installs att's crap, and even your stock image flash, won't touch that partition, think I'm right on this?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
its the sim card and how google installs the crapware(btw, can be simply uninstalled). if no sim is in the device, then google doesnt know to install the att crapware, and it doesn't install it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliff p:
I've had the nano Sim installed from the time I received from FedEx. No att crapware to speak of. I've already restored my phone's apps from my G3 backup and still no att bloat.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] KB112:
Just curious why this mod makes the center clock appear on the lock screen? I like having a centered clock, but just wondering why it makes it show up on lock screen too. Currently I only have the main clock on my lock screen.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Mahapederdon:
No idea. Never even noticed till you said something. You ruined it for me. Haha. Just kidding.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ewcrider:
The stauts bar layout is controlled by several xml files within the systemui apk. The main file is status_bar.xml. There are two main sections in the stock file: one for the notification icons and one for the system icons (signal, battery, clock). The modification to center the clock takes the clock out of the system group and puts it in its own group. Now with three sections (and proper weighting) the clock is now centered. There is a separate xml file for the lockscreen status bar. What I think happens is this: on the lockscreen, the system hides the normal statusbar items by referencing the group ids, then overlays its own layout. Unfortunately, by taking the clock out of the system group, it is no longer referenced when being hidden.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ewcrider:
Would this make you happier?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] S-C:
But...how?

Lol very nice... Can you share the knowledge?

Hey, is there a method to replace the standard white-ish backround of an app (e.g. Settings) with a custom wallpaper?

If I decompile .apk - can I replace a .png? (simply as that?)

I'm obsessed with X10's 1.6 look (that sexy-blue theme) and wondered if I could transform some of my apps (Conversations, Settings, Contacts) to look like that.

I hope someone will reply, thanks! :silly:

P.S. If there's an easy way to create a theme - it would be even nicer!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
I don't know how to create a theme, but on the LT29i, you can replace the "semc_bg_light.png" and "semc_bg.png" files in "/res/drawable-xhdpi" from the "framework-res.apk"; and, I think you might just be able to do this with 7zip, no need to decompile (don't take my word for it because I always decompile anyway).

Also thanks to [MENTION=3514006]Kirpman[/MENTION] who also provided me with his files from CloudyG3.

Finally, last but not least: a big thanks to [MENTION=5364308]XxZombiePikachu[/MENTION] for the installation ZIP.

3Minit Battery mod for LG G2 using CloudyG2 2.2 and CloudyG3 2.1 (LG G2 Version)

Please do not use this mod on any other version than CloudyG3. It will most likely NOT work.

What is this?

It's a mod for your battery icon. It replaces the original battery meter with a custom battery meter of your choice. There are over 1070 battery icons to choose from!

Installation instructions

1. Download CloudyG3_3minit.zip and CloudyG3_Restore.zip. CloudyG3_Restore.zip is a backup ZIP if things go sour or you don't like this mod and you want to go back.

2. Download and install 3minit app v2.2 from here. Make sure you install the apk or you will get androidsystemui force close.

3. After installing, reboot to recovery and flash CloudyG3_3minit.zip

4. Reboot and profit!

What do I do if I have an issue?

Flash the CloudyG3_Restore.zip. Please note that it's a deodexed LGSystemUI.apk but it will have no impact. Report here afterwards including info about your ROM. It has, however, been thoroughly tested and should work flawlessly.

Will you support more ROMS in the future?

Yes. I just have to find time and see which ROM has the highest demand.

Features

LGSystemUI.apk with support for 3Minit Battery mod. Deodexed and Zipaligned.

Can I use this on the Odexed version of CloudyG3 2.1

Yes you can without any issues.

Eww! I don't like this! How do I remove this?

Reboot to recovery, flash CloudyG3_Restore.zip and reboot. When you are in the rom again, delete 3minit.apk.

Why a seperate thread?

It's simply to avoid confusion and problems. Since CloudyG3 is based on G3A firmware and OptimusG3 is based on a Hybrid G2/G3 firmware it will cause problems if cross-flashed.

Any questions? Feel free to ask!
