I just downgraded my phone to VRUFNC5 to get root (thanks to peeps on here), but I cannot seem to find a way to install a working recovery. Does this have something to do with the bootloader being locked or something? If so, what can you do? I am bashing my head against the wall for taking OTA's. :mad: Maybe I need a new phone??? Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
No custom recovery for us and hence, no custom kernels or pure AOSP roms. We are limited to using Safestrap and Safestrap compatible roms.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] grr8xtc:
Thanks for the quick reply. So what version of safestrap do you use for VRUFNC5??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
3.72 if you don't need a custom slot. 3.75 a03 if you do. 3.72 does not support custom slots so you have to flash in the "stock" partition but it is a bit more stable than 3.75. 3.75 is fine but is a little buggy. Nothing that should stop you from using it though.

Update notifications not wanted

Is their anyway to stop 4.4.2 to alerting me that a update is available. This is getting really annoying if you know what I mean.

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
FWUpgrade.apk is the culprit. Freeze or delete it. Profit.

How and where do I find FWUpgrade.apk? Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
You will need some kind of root file explorer, I use ES File Explorer. If I remember correctly it's under device/system/priv-app. Or you could use titanium backup and freeze or delete it.

I'm curious regarding the lack of development of AOSP/CM custom kernels for the LG G3. Is it because a lot of the hardware on the device requires closed source software?

Also, I'm curious as to whether anyone has begun development of a franco-derived kernel for the LG g3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rolltide78:
Hey all...been a long time since I've been back in the forums but have been relatively pleased with this Nebula rom on my Note. However, now that I'm 2 Android versions behind I wanted to check in to see if I have any options to upgrade to a newer/better ROM like Cyanogenmod. Since I'm running MJ9 I just don't know if I'm just plain stuck unless I wanted to go to the official Verizon Kitkat update.

Thanks all,

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spunkiest:
Hey guys,

Recently got my self a Note 3 and I am having a terrible experience with the ROMS... I have a Note 2 still with DN3 and that is flawless, but with my Note 3, I have tried S5 Full port and that is slow, crashes and lags for me, S5+N4 ROM is good for a while then just starts to freeze up and crash, won;t allow my phone to turn on.

Anyone know why this is? I am dong all the steps before hand, wiping caches, wiping phone, leaving phone for 10 minutes and I still get issues even after a full fresh install.

Could someone help me and try and fix some of these problems or is it the phone itself as I have seen no one else have these problems?

IMO

RC ROM is an S5 port and its been wonderful on my Note 3 900W8. best battery life on a TW ROM. no crashes, no corrupted data, no nothing out of the ordinary. almost everything works except, video call (which you can replace with skype obviously) bluetooth tethering (tell me who uses that) and screen mirroring (also too, who uses this just get an MHL and get rid of lag).

You´re welcome

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmundo:
I've been like you on DN3 with note2. And I have stayed on stock until there is no proper N4 port.

Note3 is so powerful and full of futures that those roms out there not changing much as it was in

Dn3 case.

Of corse I have root, kernel changed and some improvements.

Just my opinion

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirobelec:
After testing a multitude of ROMs, TW based and AOSP, I have come to this conclusion.

If you need your phone to be fast as hell, I recommend one of the two Lollipop builds we have for now, they've become somewhat stable even at this early stage, and both devs seem to have focused on that, so you've got bugfixes every day. And, like I said, the phone will be extremely fast. I've never before had such speed on that Nope 3.

But my own setup right now consists of:

1. This ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2649176

This ROM is as close to stock, stable as stock and still be tweaked.

2. Flashed this theme: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2719942

3. For good battery life I added this kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2488082

Now after all this is flashed, I wanted it to look differently, I got the xposed framework and installed Wanam's xposed module, which can tweak colors and behaviors that no app or launcher can change. LIKE THE GODDAMN GREEN PUKED-ON LOOKING GREEN STOCK QUICK SETTINGS.

Also, for good battery life I got the 10 000 mAh ZeroLemon battery. :D :D :D

That's my two cents.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spunkiest:
Downloading now. It seems that any ROM I have, a day or so later it will just turn slow sluggish and doesn't want to load up any apps. Have you ever heard of this before?

Am pretty sure this might be hardware/bios related, however any ideas would be gratefully received.

Essentially my wizard/xda mini s has started being weird! The keyboard no longer works, and all the buttons (if they work at all) do something different!

For example, the select button, in the middle of the 'D' pad, forces me to re-aligned the touch screen when pushed! The power button, whilst it does power on or re-activate, loads the messages!

Have tried reflashing with a new image, and using clear storage....cant seem to do a hard reset as the send button wont work :( Sounds like corrupt bios or something to me.....Any thing i can do?

Cheers,
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] imxuk:
more weirdness...if i load word, half the keyboard kinda works...but the shift and 'dot' key have reversed?!?

put total commander on, checked keyboard is correct...which it is! Surely reflashing should wipe everything? is there something it doesnt wipe that i can reset/clear some how?

Hi guys!

How can I make more space for apps? I have a desire 500 single sim with the latest JamesRom.
[HTC Desire 500] SkyrimBee:
Hey,

you could use Link2SD to link your apps to your sd card. If you want to do this in an efficient way, format your sd card with an Ext4 partition of approx 2GB.

Furthermore, you could remove unwanted apps. Moving some apps to the system/ partition of the device is a good idea, too. However, don't forget to integrate updates into the system regulary.

Greetings
[HTC Desire 500] Bogdacutu:
or you can get an ext4 partition on your SD card and use cronmod or similar to mount that as /data (I have an 8gb partition for that, works perfectly)

N when I go in the Hboot mode..I get some weird stuffs..I have attached the pics.. I am unable to flash any ROMs.. i have Cynogenmod for endeavoru n gapps in my SD card..BT when I flash it..it doesn't go beyond the logo..I have even used hasson 2000.. please help me..

From the zip file of the rom extract the boot.img to your laptop.

The put your phone in fastboot and flash it using

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Do I have to execute this command through CMD or through hassons2000? And wen I am going through hasson2000 d cmd file says operable program or batch file..

Got the double-tap-to-wake working. Thanks to this commit: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/80439/

Somehow i didn't manage to enable it from the settings, I got to edit the dt2w file manually.

UPDATE: It's merged to the main kernel source, next builds including CM should have this working. (at least the code btw)

UPDATE-2: Setting SELinux to permissive fixed it.

My main build machine is actually at work, so there won't be a new full build by me until Monday, but I'll see if I can make a new kernel image and upload it. Thanks!

[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] cheep5k8:
For CWM I'm not really sure at the moment, but for root you can just flash SuperSU right after flashing the ROM (I believe the latest is SuperSU 2.37 andd works absolutely perfect for me).

- Flash this ZIP

- Boot
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Jhon998:

[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] EnormoDerClown:
Root: FLash SupserSU, as explained

CWM: Use fastboot
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Jhon998:
Thank you!

but one more thing: do cwm work with 5.0? or do I need to re-flash 5.0's boot.img?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] EnormoDerClown:
I just use CWM for flashing the newest build, or wiping cache.... I would recommend that also to you. I always use the CWM from the CM11 Build for that (I always switch back to the Android 5 boot.img after that, which i think is a must).
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] TheMrcool212:
Or if you want things more easier, override the recovery image onto FOTAKernel partition. So with that you don't need to fastboot any kernel with CWM everytime you want to update the ROM.

I'm currently using TWRP 2.8.1.0, and had no issues.

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-m5-kernel-t2858912

Here's the link for the kernel.

You have to download both the kernel zip and its settings apk.

I had to extract the boot.img from the kernel zip and flash it through fastboot using the command fastboot flash boot boot.img, because I had the CM12 recovery which had no way of flashing individual files.

Fastboot has to be on your computer.

If you have any form of CWM or TWRP recovery, then you won't need to do this, simply reboot to recovery and flash the zip.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] nicojapanese:
ok so ill just flash the zips directly in recovery thats better thank you so much
