[Sony Xperia ZR] paulson881:
When you say this, I assume you are LB and want stock framework.

With that in mind, CM based ROM are out of the question (OMG, 80% of ROMs phased out!)

With stock-based ones, the best battery life actually comes from MIUI, but

1. It offers a non-stock user expeience

2. It is on 4.2.2

The only ROM that is both active (not outdated if you wonder) can be found here:

Hi,

Windows vista will no longer recognise my XDA Mini-s which is stuck at the three colour screen.

Activesync doesn't work with Vista - I have installed Windows Mobile device centre but it cannot recognise my device?

Can anyone help please?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mfrazzz:
If your phone is stuck at the boot loader (rainbow screen) then yes, active sync and what Vista uses will not recognize your phone. Just make sure that with the USB cable plugged in it reads USB in the bottom left. You should be able to run a ROM update utility on it now and flash T-Mobile 2.26 Ship onto it (I'm assuming this is a G3 device and CID unlocked. If you aren't CID unlocked then flash whatever official carrier ROM for your phone. The key is to get the IPL/SPL to a 2.x version (with 2.26 from T-Mobile being the preferred).)

BTW: You may need to turn off your phone, then plug in the USB cable and then get back to the boot loader (by holding the camera key when turning it on).

Hope that helps, and good luck.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lockdown:
You should not flash your device from Windows Vista. Vista and Active sync have be working weird I have heard. Which Vista Edition are you using because I have found Ultimate has no problem for me.

I would suggest flashing it in WinXP or Win2k for better results.

hi, just wanted a confirmation...is it possible to flash up to a wm6 on the wizard (noticed faria just came out with one) using windows vista ultimate? I'm reading that people are having problems here and there, but for some it's working, for others it's not.

windows vista mobile center is working fine syncing information with my current rom (faria 3.3)...
[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Themes and Apps] barbosas:
Hi,

Since there's little customization for this device I started messing a bit with the SecLauncher3.apk to resize icons and increase the number of rows on stock TW and avoid using others launchers (I like TW) .

You can find screenshots of the Appdrawer and of the Menu attached (i have less then 10 posts so i'm not able to embed the screenshots on the thread)

Features:

Home with 4x5 grid with smaller icons

Up to 7 icons on the dock bar

AppDrawer with 4x5 grid

Issues:

Stock Weather Widget doesn't look perfect

I don't know how to resize the AppDrawer Shortcut

Folders look a bit bigger then regular icons

If you know how to solve any of this issues please share the solution. I didn't knew nothing about decompiling/editing/compiling until 3 hours ago, so... nothing is impossible.

Instructions:

Download the modded SecLauncher3.apk from here:

Create a backup from your SecLauncher3.apk in /system/priv-app

Copy the modded SecLauncher3.apk to /system/priv-app

Set permissions on SecLauncher3.apk at 644

Reboot to TWRP and clear cache and dalvik cache

Reboot

Cheers

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerb12:
I know there have been threads in the past about the Nexus 4 not being able to support outputting audio over USB, but now that stock Android 5.0 supports it, can the Nexus 4 do it?

I'm using the factory 5.0 images and I have an external DAC/amp that I want to use (Fiio e18) that's made for Android, but nothing seems to happen when I hook it up. I've read posts that the Nexus 4 physically can't output power over it's USB, which is fine because the DAC has it's own battery source... but can it at least output the audio?

I started with the stock kernel, but also tried the latest Franco kernel (r214) with no luck. Also, I verified the DAC itself works by using it with my laptop. I'm hoping there's just some hidden setting or patch I need to apply to get it to work... Has anyone else tried this yet?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttheodorou:
pls report your findings if you can make it happened!!

i can not help you with your problem but it is something that interest me too. i only can suggest to use a more feature enabled kernel like unleashed or hells core

pls report your findings if you make it work mate!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerb12:
That's a good idea... unfortunately no dice with the latest unleashed kernel either (98u). It claims it supports USB OTG, so I was hoping that would be enough, but maybe there's more that needs to be done.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttheodorou:
one thing that you might not know. nexus 4 does support usb otg

BUT

cannot provide electricity via usb. you must use a y cable and provide external power so you it might not be possible to use your DAC!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerb12:
Thanks, I did know that, but I figured that since my DAC is self-powered (it has its own battery) that I wouldn't need to do the y-cable trick.

Worth a try though, I'm going to order one and see if I can at least get regular USB OTG to work. Maybe once that's working it'll be easier to troubleshoot the audio.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerb12:
Just wanted to update, I got the Y OTG cable so I could have external power at the same time... but still doesn't work. This is with stock 5.0.1 and unleashed 98u kernel. I went into Synapse and enabled the OTG setting as well. DAC doesn't get recognized, and I tried a few free apps that are supposed to do OTG checks, but they all came back that nothing is attached.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calinormy:
Usb otg is one thing and uab audio out is another. USB otg means that you can connect an USB stick or external hdd to your phone ( with or without external power) USB AUDIO OUT need special circuits from your internal Dac to the USB. If those are not implemented you will never have USB audio out. This is something witch depends on the manufacturer ( S4 mini with snapdragon 400 don't work with USB otg or USB audio out, htc mini 2 M8 works perfectly with fiio E18 as a audio surce for external DAC). So if you really need USB audio out please next time do your homework and read before buying a phone. P.S. Htc mini 2 M8 has the best audio ever and really you don't need an external dac. If you need more power just use your fiio as an amplifier with your phone.

Maybe you could find for your phone a apecial kernel modified for better audio experience. Flash that and use your headphones.

Good luck!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerb12:
Thanks, yeah I don't need usb audio out... I've had the phone for over 2 years and I still really like it, so no plans on getting a new one just for this.

I believe it's physically possible to do audio out on the N4... I've seen random posts about people getting it to work, but they've all been on custom ROM's based on 4.4.x stuff. I'd really rather not try to reproduce that since 5.0 is running so much better on my phone, and I was just hoping with the new native Android support it might work out of the box. But alas, it looks like google locked down 5.0 on the N4 - even USB OTG storage doesn't work unless you put a custom kernel like unleashed on.

In the meantime, I've just been using it as a headphone amp like you suggest and it's a big improvement.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pieces of cake:
Well then you haven't learned much over 20 years if you're asking this kind of question. Sorry.

Tell me... what phone were you using 20 years ago? That's 1994. What phone were you "messing with?"
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thachosenone:
You have to clarify what kind of flash you mean...

You can flash firmware, kernels, bootloaders and modems in Odin. You can flash custom roms in custom recovery. That's what most of us are here in the forums for.

You can also flash phones to a carrier like metropcs used to do with cdma phones from Sprint and vzw with bad esn's, but that hardly happens anymore, since most phones are becoming gsm based anyway(for lte).

The way you worded your op gives the impression you are not very well versed in smartphone software. So clarify your question. "Take the flash" means nothing without the right context.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdidtht:
The answer is no, not in stock form anyways. Could we mod or port the edges fw so the n4 would flash it? Yea, probably. They are very similar, but not similar enough to just straight up flash an edge rom on the note 4 or vice versa without some tinkering in various spots.

I Just flashed bootloader 1.01MFG with sspl tool to my device,and thought I can flash roms without superCIDing my device.

But since I can use lnbs command,I can not use lnb command,and still I got a security level=FF in responding of task 32.

Why cannot I use lnb command with 1.01MFG?And can I use lnbs instead?

In addition,if I brick my phone by flashing a wrong radio,got an error such as No GSM,can I flash back using bootloader 1.01MFG?

It is really dangerous so I chose to be more careful.Thank you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] silent_killa:
I was under the impression that your device must also be supercid to use the lnb command under the 1.01MFG bootloader.

@segura.org you asked "Is a Gameboy useful?" Some people would say yes, some would say no. The key here is threads like these are here to provide information and help people learn about devices and make informed decisions to purchase.
[Samsung Gear VR] Powerslash:
The Gear VR is the best available mobile VR experience you can get at the moment, which you can actually call a proper VR experience which surpasses the Oculus Rift DK1 and rivals even the DK2 in some regards but those Rifts are wired and need a powerful PC to work properly.

As for describing a VR experience that you will have to probably experience for yourself.

VR can be used to watch 360° Photos, 360° Videos, 360° 3D Videos and Games. It can give you the impression of not only watching something from far away like on a TV but as if you were there. Depending on the quality of the content of course.
