I'm a bit of a newb at tweaking this phone, okay so I've had it a year and done a lot of the basic hacks, and have lurked here since I got it. However, for quite a long time I've been wanting a new theme and could never figure out how to do it. That was until yesterday when I found ThemeGenCE. I have to say it's a simple program to use and I made my first skin, almost exactly how I want it, in a matter of a half hour or so.

Well, I tore off to work and showed some friends and they wanted it to until I discovered the dialer buttons are still the default blue ones. :eek: Of course you could imagine my hurt when I discovered it. So now I'm pouring over all I can to find out how to make my own pad or at least find an easy tool to change the colors up a bit and maybe the text. I've read a lot of what is here and, sheepishly, am very confused.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or even just a good finger pointing would be phenomenal. As well, I'll include the skin if any should want it. Hope you're Boondocks fans. :D

Oneybm - The Semi-Newb

UPDATE - Okay after reading the themegen help file a bit I don't see how to compress and distribute my theme without the software so I'll just include all the files it says it used. *sigh* The newbism strikes again. Also here are some screen caps.

Hi Experts,

I want to upgrade my samsung galaxy note GT-N7000.

After reading on how to install custom rom to N7000. I tried one of the way to install the Custom Rom using Install from Zip using SD card.

Steps i have performed to install custom rom are mentioned below:

1. I have install one app to root my phone.

2. Checked with the help of MD5File checkup to confirm that my phone is rooted or not and found that my phone has been rooted.

3. I have gone to developer option and checked USB Debugging.

4. I have not installed any backup tool for the current recovery.

5. i have copied the N7000 CWM Nightly rom which is for KitKat, but it failed in the verification and errored with Status 7.

6. Then with some other roms its failing in status 6.

8. At last one rom Slimsaber got passed in the verification and removed the current rom but while installing or mounting its rom it failed....(This action is performed using Install using Zip from SD Card)

Result was that my phone got hung on the logo. But some how i managed to installed one korean rom on the phone which was having a older version i.e. 4.0.3 :) and its update was not available so i got my phone updated with the stock rom of 4.1.2 version from samsung store. So now its back to where i have started :(

Query:

1. Is that the reason i have not installed a custom recovery tool for the existing rom in case the new rom fails (I have missed 4th point: Is there any best app that backup for current stock rom)

Request:

1. Can you guys please tell me which is the ROM that works for N7000 India version for Kitkat and Lollipop(If available)

2. Please suggest the rom that works with Odin because i have bad exp with installing from SDcard. If possible please provide a link for that tar file.

Really appreciate your support and thanks in advance.
[XDA Assist] It_ler:
You should install/flash a custom recovery and make a complete system (nandroid) backup directly in the custom recovery.

There are some other apps, which can create an Online Nandorid backup (just check Play store), but some apps are not compatible with all devices and to restore such a backup, you will need a custom (CWM or TWRP) recovery anyway.

To get best advices about custom recovery, ROMs, etc. for your device, please ask in the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [FAQ] [Q&A] [Noob Friendly] HELP THREAD - POST ALL YOUR SUPPORT QUESTIONS HERE thread.

P.S.: To install/flash a custom ROM provided as zip file, you usually need a custom recovery. Stock recovery only flashed signed zip file (e.g. official OTA update files from Samsung).

Upgraded the suite of Moto apps two days ago (Moto Voice, Moto Actions, etc.). Since then, my bottom sensors are not working at all. I have to make sure the top sensors pick up my motion in order to wake the phone. I have covered the top sensors and verified the bottom ones are dead. Everything was working fine before the upgrade. Anyone else having this issue?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
The bottom "sensors" never worked because they are not sensors- they are IR flashers. There is only one sensor and it's at the top. The bottom ones send out IR, the top picks it up.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huff009:
Hmm...I'm not sure about that. I don't have anything specific that allows me to refute your claim, however, anything I have found states the phone has 4 low powered IR sensors (one on each corner). Additionally, I used to be able to "approach" the phone from the bottom half as if I was picking it up and it would instantly light up the screen. Since the update this is not the case and I have to be high enough on the phone to be picked up by the top ones. This "bottom approach" is the same method demonstrated in the Moto Actions "demo" on the phone itself but just doesn't work anymore.

I appreciate your response but from what I've read, and my own anecdotal evidence, seems to indicate this isn't completely accurate.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I'm telling you, it's the case. Turn off your lights and look very closely at your phone and you can actually see the emitters working with your own eyes. They turn on when Moto Display is off, and the moment Moto Display turns on, the emitters turn off. There are 3 emitters total- two at the bottom and one just to the right of the earpiece. Their purpose is to essentially bathe your hand in IR light, which the sensor then detects. That's how the system works. When documentation states that there are 4 low power sensors, it's really just for the layman who wouldn't necessarily understand the actual way it works without it being explained. Yes there are 4 devices on the face of the phone to make it work, but only one of them is an actual sensor. Like I said, the other 3 are emitters.

All that said, when you reach for the phone, your hand needs to be high enough from it when you come in from the bottom that it is within the sensor's field of view. Otherwise it won't work. It seems that 3-4 inches is the lower limit. Anything closer than that and it won't pick up your hand until it's closer to the top of the phone.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huff009:
Alright. That explanation seems plausible enough. I had read somewhere that somebody else was saying their lower sensors weren't working and I started "testing" mine, so maybe I was expecting there to be an issue and ended up finding one that wasn't there. You are correct, if I ensure my hand is a minimum of 4-5 inches from the phone it seems to react just fine.

Thanks for taking the time to respond and explain it, I really appreciate it.

Hi Guys,

I asked myself how the zoom on my Z3 should work.

As far as I know, the Z3 can Zoom into the sensor while taking 8mpix pictures.

While I tried it, it seemed to me that the quality gets really bad.

I was guessing that the indicator on the left is the indicator which separates digital zoom from the sensor-zoom.

As far as I thought the light grey indicator-bar shows the part which is the sensor zoom and the dark part is the digital zoom.

Considering the quality it seems to me that both modes are digital zoom. The picture looks really annoying while i use it.

I just thought maybe I'm doing something wrong - has anyone an idea how I can improve this or use it right or or or...

Regards,

Matthias
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CentaXx:
I didn't know about the 8mp restriction, i also tested it out in the shop, but in 20mp mode. The sections looked identical. However, as the sensor is not at it's limits at 8mp, i guess it could take a higher resolution and crop it to 8mp size at the zoomed in section.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
More info about everything

http://www.phonearena.com/news/What...-work-in-the-Lumia-1020-and-Xperia-Z1_id52198

So conclusion is, it is all digital zoom
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maeffjus:
Okay, it is something like digital zoom. But I think, the quality while zooming into an 8mpix picture should not be worse in quality (depending on the zoom factor) than the 20mpix picture.

When I take a 8 mpix picture, I assume that the image processor will take it in 20mpix and shrink it down to 8.

And what I would like to see is that

I could zoom in and it will just move into the sensor to a 1:1 size.

Another thing : while using the video mode, the stabilizer does an amazing job.

What about the photo-mode? I can't see any stabilisation there.

Since I only take 8mpi pictures, I guess the picture-frame could also be panned around the 20m of the sensor...

Regards,

Matthias
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
In SA mode, phone take oversampled photo (which means he take 21mp, but he make HD pixel (one pixel combine colors from neibghours)... so when you take 8mpx it takes 20mp ovesampled.

When you zoom in, it will take more and more neibhours pixel to combine in one, so that means loseless.

So after replacing the digitizer I can't boot up the phone. As I've said in title, I'm stuck at the 'Samsung Galaxy Core 2, powered by android' screen.

I tried to re-flash the stock ROM via Odin, everything passes but i always get stuck at the same boot spot.

Power+VolUp+Home doesn't work, only Power+VolDown+Home work.

Does anyone have any suggestion what to do?

Similar Problem [PLEASE HELP]

I am experiencing a similar problem with my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime.

I used Kingroot to root my device. I then continued to attempt to install a custom recovery which i eventually accomplished about three hours later, and then attempted to install a custom rom(I don't know if it worked or not!) 9 hours later, I tried to reboot my device. When i turned my phone back on, the screen froze and would not finish booting. (Volume Up+Home+Power and Volume Down+Home+Power both work. I can select different options in bootloader, but when i go to the download page it also freezes)

[Samsung Galaxy Core.] Shivansh98:
Don't worry

Just download stock firmware from sammobile.com and odin v3.0.9 and download samsung mobile drivers for pc. Then open download mod by pressing vol down +power+ home button and then open odin and choose downloaded firmware as pda and flash it. Now you can see a blue coloured progress bar on download mod. After it completes, it will reboot your device and it will boot successfully

Even purchased apps stay, however when you change your login, the purchased app will send you a popup that you are not licensed to use the app. That's what happened with the Airplan DLNA app when I changed the login.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colewhite:
Hello,

I have a GT-I9070 with a LightJB v1.2.

Since the start of 2014, its started being slow. I didnt care about it, but by the time, it became slower and slower. Now its earned that type of slowness, that is playing with my nerves and my patience.

Since I got my phone, I couldn't watch a WHOLE YouTube or any video of its full length.

What can I do? I tried CoCore kernel, original kernel, LightJB, original 4.1.2, wiped everything, nothing changed. I used to overclock my CPU a bit, then it was a BIT better, but not so much.

But there is a thing that I can't understand. Games are going so cool, smoothly. (but i dont play)

What the hell can I do with it, because next week maybe I'm going to sell it, but if I won't, that would be good if I could use it, not waiting a hour to load Viber, Contacts etc.

Thanks,

Erik
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uncreator:
What you're describing is a bit strange. I'm using the unofficial PA 4.4.4 ROM and the performance is great, apart from the occasional hiccup, but that's to be expected. I did attempt a FULL, and by full I mean delete both storages plus factory reset and all that, cleaning and noticed a bit of an improvement.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colewhite:
Both storages? You mean the external sd card too? or just the internal storage?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uncreator:
I did nothing to the external sd. The phone itself has 2 storages, one for apps and one for media and everything else, and they can be formatted through the settings menu. Again, the performance boost happening after the format may just be a coincidence since it was just a "deeper" clean flash, if you will. I did do a backup AND copy everything on the phone to my PC, just in case.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisosaur:
have people began getting the OTA pushed to their Nexus 7 2012's? I am still on kitkat and haven't done a single thing to the tablet. It's bone stock.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeustopher:
You might actually consider this as a blessing. My wife's tablet got the Lollipop OTA and it is laggy beyond belief, even after clearing cache, using Nova launcher, etc. (everything but a factory reset at this point...). She is so frustrated with it, she's considered

My mother in law's N7 hasn't gotten the OTA yet. I almost wonder if they are holding off on pushing it more until they get the 5.0.1 OTA ready for this device in case it fixes some of the issues people are having. But thats completely speculation on my part.

Alternatively, if you REALLY want to get on lollipop, you could sideload the OTA update. It isn't too difficult. Android Central has a pretty good tutorial covering how to do it: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-upgrade-your-nexus. You'll want to follow the "Flashing an OTA update image" section. Alternatively, you could use WUGs toolkit which makes it pretty much as easy as pushing a few buttons.

Thanks,

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theparanoid:
I have not. I also wonder if they stop pushing the update to n7 2012.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DogzOfWar:
I'll be honest, you're better off not getting the 5.0 update. I've done a lot of different things (dirty flash, wiping literally 100%, factory resets, etc), and Lollipop on my 2012 Wifi N7 just feels slow and laggy. There are times when I felt like I had figured it out, only for it to get laggy again after a day or so.

So I wouldn't be in a hurry, especially if it's working just fine.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadesse:
I too really regret up updating to 5.0. I would say that my tablet is unusable but it is damn near. Within the last couple of days random reboots have started & this is with my tablet just sitting idle. Know the one thing that I have never liked about Adroid since day one is the inability to close apps without forcing them closed but that is neither here nor there. I think 5.0 has a few flaws & it doesn't necessarily play nice with some apps.

My N7 is stock & I didn't wipe it before updating because I would loose a bunch of stuff if I did. I also have a Asus TF101 which is root & I flashed 5.0 on it & just load a few of my standard apps. The difference in the two tablets is quite noticeable. The older TF101 is much zippier than the N7. Now I am not going to say that is because it was a fresh install. There are also all kinds of people complaining even after doing a fresh install of 5.0 that their N7 is slow.

If I could go back to KK without having to wipe my tablet I would in a heartbeat. I don't think that 5.01 from what I have read is going to fix anything.

What is the advantage of updating My Radio Rom from 1.20 to either 1.27 or 1.35 or should I leave well enough alone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
Its up to you, the 1.35.00.11 version of the radio has the GPS chip enabled, but as you will see in the GPS thread the GPS chip works but has no antenna. The radio should be more stable, and i noticed an increase in the range of my 3G area with it. Make sure to use the version available here (at the top) because they push "des SSPL" to the phone so you dont need to worry about which bootloader or CID you have (not that it matters about CID with radio upgrades...but you know what i mean :))
