I have my app's layout optimized for a variety of device sizes in dp. However I did not factored in that there is a "large text" setting in accessibility that can would mess up my layout. I current set my textsize in sp in my layouts. I checked around some app and their text size seems to not be effected by the "large text" setting. How do I program my layout so that it doesn't increase the text size when user set it to "large text"?

Thanks in advance!

Greetings XDA,

O.k. I'm new to Samsung and touchwiz so please forgive me, coming from the HTC One to the Edge. I previously used a few messaging apps going to one for this and another for that, keeping one for private messages an another for this and that... Google voice, go sms or handscent, the stock sms app, and hangouts, now voice and hangouts are kinda merging... however I am finding it annoying to be forced to stick with only one messaging app... it appears that touchwiz will only allow one such app controlling access to send messages.... is there a way to disable the system from forcing me to stick to only one app and locking the other ones?

I'm currently running the below rom

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabreem:
Maybe it's just me then...

However try and use another sms/mms app if it's not your currently selected default messaging app, and see if it allows you to send a message from that app without changing it to now become your new default messaging app.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbnorton0524:
No it makes you switch tha one to default. but thats very easily done in settings. It like hangouts, it is on the edge, but i refuse to use it cuz i hate it for some reason. I d/l' ed "messaging" for lollipop in play store and enabled it as default in settings and im a happy camper

[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incanity:
Hi all,

After I changed my UART and USB settings in the PhoneUtil menu to PDA, after a second reboot it automatically changes back to MODEM mode... I've tried everything, reverted back to stock and all, but it still changes back to MODEM....

Anyone out there that knows how to make the change to PDA permanent?

Thanks!

PLEASE HELP ,i have a sony xperia z ultra g.p.e with 4.4.4 rooted and a locked bootloader which i managed to delete a system file and immediately started boot looping the boot animation.

I can still get into the stock recovery.

I've searched everywhere and all i see is instruction for unlocked bootloader .

I've read that i can't flash an ftf with a locked boot loader,please help

i have a macbook but also have access to a windows comp

please if anyone can help me with step by step instruction to bring the phone back to a working state i would forever be thankful.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
If you do have a GPe DO NOT FLASH AN FTF it will result in a permanent hard brick. Look for DooMLoRD's return to stock thread in GPe development section, it will return you to stock 4.4.2 and then you can let it update from there.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] icotulookn:
Thank you I will give that a try and post back results
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
I must apologize for giving out bad advice. Stock recovery will not allow flashing older firmware.

I think what may be possible is flashing the 4.4.4 system IMG with fastboot. Maybe [MENTION=252661]egzthunder1[/MENTION] or [MENTION=3534362]blueether[/MENTION] will be nice enough to offer some better advice.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] icotulookn:
OK thanks yea I'm really lost, I've been searching and I can't find any instruction on this.

Is this even possible with a locked boot loader?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Is it bootlooping or just stuck?

You should be able to flash a 4.4.4 system image

Instructions would be:

Download system_4.4.4.7z from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2799423

Extract the system_4.4.4.img

fastboot flash system <path_to_system_4.4.4.img>
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] icotulookn:
Its boot looping the boot animation over and over .

OK this is my first Sony phone, I'm sorta familiar with fast boot from my HTC days but its been along time

If I remember correctly I had to install android SDK and fast boot, do I need all the same in this case?

Like i said its been along time and i would be thankfull for any and all instruction given ...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Again I apologize for posting without refreshing my memory by looking up the older threads. There was two issues with my first post.

1. Stock recovery will not allow flashing older firmware as I mentioned.

2. There is an edited ota zip but it needs to be flashed with custom recovery, which I believe can only be used with an unlocked bootloader.

Hopefully fastboot flashing the system img does the trick.

Thank you so much for the fast replies and the assistance, I think I just need the Sony drivers which I can do a search for.

Its getting late so I will give it a go tomorrow and report back.

Fingers Crossed !!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Easiest way to get the drivers may to download flashtool and grab them from the drivers folder.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] icotulookn:
ok I'm on a windows 8 comp and I've downloaded and installed adb and fast boot along with the sony drivers ..i have the phone in fast boot mode and usb connected and no matter what i do i can't get the comp to connect with the phone, am i missing something with windows 8 ?

am i doing something wrong with driver installation?

What am i doing wrong? i will gladly and thankfully accept any advice..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Yes Windows 8 is a pain, Google for "disable driver signature verification in Windows 8" and see if that helps.

please help me , i put the system_4.4.4.img in drive C:\ and I'm having a problem remembering how to do the flash boot commands ,,what i have done is "fastboot flash system system_4.4.4.img" but without the quotes and its not working, can u tell me how to direct it to the path of C:\ because I'm pulling my hair out..can u help?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] icotulookn:
i think i got it but i can't remember the how to do the fastboot to where the system file is.

the file name is (system_4.4.4.img) and i have it on the C:\ drive

can u tell me the exact command for fast boot to that file?

many many thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
You need the whole path ex. C:\user\icotulookn\downloads\4.4.4 system img.

I am positive I found the file and was able to copy and paste the path into adb, not sure if that works for fastboot.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] icotulookn:
i have it directly on C:\ so would i go

fastboot flash system system_4.4.4.img C:\

when i go( fastboot flash system system_4.4.4.img ) it starts but then says<remote:command not allowed
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I havent used windows (if I can help it) for near 15 years but something like

fastboot flash system C:\system_4.4.4.img

"remote:command not allowed" is probably because of the locked BootLoader, I thought that may happen

Do you know what the fole you deleted was? you may be able to adb push it back onto the system if the GPe boots far enough.

The only other options I can think of are:

Ask Sony for a singed update.zip of the full 4.4.4 (no patch files) so it can be flashed by the stock recovery

Or use adb to do an oem unlock* - but this will wipe DRM keys and render the camera without auto focus

* You could try and run TA backup, but I think it will fail to gain root to do the back up... can you get shell access to the device? "adb shell"
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
Gonna suggest something off the left field, but if you have access to stock recovery... Have you tried doing a full wipe? I mean, unless ypu royally messed something up elsewhere, flashing system would give you the same end result as a full wipe.

Hopefully this helps.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Some things I am wondering.

1. Can 5.0 update be flashed in stock recovery or would.it fail due to missing files?

2. Can a kernel with recovery be hotbooted to flash the edited 4.4.2 ota?

3. Can the 4.4.4 system img be flashed with flashtool?

4. Is there a fastboot command similar to "adb devices" that will confirm it is connected properly?

I swear that I had the same error trying to return GPe to stock using WIN 8.1 laptop, on WIN 7 desktop it worked fine.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
1. Yes it can but you need to place the zip file in a folder that recovery will recognize (/cache or /sd)

2. Technically yes. However, you still need to be unlocked for that AFAIK.

3. I don't see why not

4. Flashtool will confirm if you have a properly connected devices

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] icotulookn:
Sorry for the delay..I changed the framework Res apk and wasn't able to fix the permission for it before it went into a boot loop. As far as shell I have no idea how to work with shell, I don't have a ta backup from what I've read the DRM kry s are only really used for the Sony phone so I don't care about losing them..

Ya I didn't even think about using fast boot with locked boot loader,is this even possible? And as far as booting it only gets to the boot animation and cycles over and over until I power and volume up to to turn it off. U don't use windows?

Do u use Mac?

Is it pos to unlock the boot loader without it booting? I know its not as simple on the gpe to unlock as it is the Sony model.

I'm willing to try anything to recover the phone,anymore ideas?

Hey I really appreciate your time,thank you very much
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Unlocking the bootloader will kill the camea, and without a ta backup there is no way to get it working again as far as I can remember. Unlocking the BL is just as easy on the GPe as the Sony device. You should be able to [if all else fails] unlock the BL as it is done in fastboot mode, but we will try and leave that as a last resort.

Try and see if you can get a backup of the TA with the TA bacup tool, see the stickies. If you can then life will be simple.

EDIT:

From the folder with adb run:

"adb shell"

does it connect?

We want to stay on 4.4.4 if we can as that will give us more options for recovery than updating to 5.0.x where you will lose root.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] icotulookn:
I will give it a go tomorrow when I'm at a comp and report back also I'm not too concerned about my camera working,I'm more so interested in a working phone
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
Just to add to blueether's point, the camera will die but only on anything over 4.4.2.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
maybe we should ask [MENTION=359497]jerpelea[/MENTION] if there is any ideas, or if he could get Sony to release a singed full 4.4.x zip without the assertions for checking for downgrade.

Another way might be S1 emergency loader? [MENTION=3665957]the_laser[/MENTION]

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] icotulookn:
OK how do I know if it Adb shell connects?

<<<ok i typed "adb shell" and i get:

daemon not running.starting on port 5037*

*daemon started successfully*

error:device not found

so what now?,i take it its not connecting?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] icotulookn:
ok I've tried a dab shell few times ,every time i get "device not found"

why does fastboot see the phone but not adb shell ?

also I'm using a windows 8 which i hate,do i have a problem with drivers?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
adb wait-for-device shell

It's starting to look like unlocking might be the only way. I'll have a read up on S1 emergency loader, although this will entail removing the back cover and battery.

If all else fails read the unlock bootloader pages on the sony dev site

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I'm glad that you got it working, sorry that we couldn't save the camera in stock firmware.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] icotulookn:
No actually it IS WORKING just fine.

Could this be because its the gpe or that its 4.4.4 ?

I always heard id lose the camera so suprised and happy to see its still working fine!.

Couldnt be happier!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] icotulookn:
No its working just as it did before, im not sure if the xzu "gpe" id different

Than the xzu but i did unlock the bootloader without having a ta backup

And the camera is NOT broke and is working fine.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Then why the hell won't auto focus work in LP on mine then... I guess I could just restore the TA...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
It was only the GPe that lost camera functions after unlock, or at least became nearly unusable. I am glad it worked out for you, but it certainly adds to the mystery.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
After a quick think about it

an unlock pre 4.4.4 killed the auto focus

unlocking on 4.4.4 was ok, but upgrading to 4.4.4 didn't fix it

unlocked on 4.4.4 the upgraded to 5.x - may work? anyone tested?

for me I unlocked on 4.4.4 but flashed back to 4.4.2 to OTA to 5.x as I had a custom ROM on, being in 4.4.2 with an unlocked BL is probably why I have a dead camera at the moment.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Not that it effects me but for curiosity's sake I would like to know the answer to this. If you were to get the time or inclination [MENTION=3534362]blueether[/MENTION] you might try restoring your TA while on 4.4.4 re-unlocking then updating. I only mention this because I wonder whether downgrading to 4.4.2 when unlocked has a permanent effect, or can it be fixed?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
It would be interesting to study this possibility... There is obviously something that re enables the camera's functionality, something read by the kernel while in 4.4.2. I am wondering, if we can determine what is instructing the camera to work on 4.4.2 and not on anything 4.4.3 and up, maybe we could simply modify that one small bit (assuming it is a small bit ofc) and make a custom kernel with this fixed for 4.4.3 and up... Maybe even mask whatever the kernel is looking at and make it think it is looking at 4.4.2

[Verizon LG G3] alien8u:
This may be totally obvious and non informative to some and for that I apologize, but I'm putting it out there anyways.

I recently traveled around South Africa for a bit and was able to use my Verizon LG G3 VS985 rooted bumped running official CyanogenMod 11 latest nightlies (via cyandelta) with absolutely no problems. I put the Vodacom sim (South African cell company) in the phone and it worked perfectly. I was able to get HSPA, 3G, and EDGE without any problems and no modifications made to anything. The phone did all the work automatically.

Supposedly there was LTE available in some parts of the country, but I could never get it. I tried switching APNs, changing radio radio bands in the *#*#4636#*#* and still could not get it. I was tempted to try and unlock the other LTE bands (as seen in a thread that I'm too lazy to look up at the moment) but I decided to hold off until later.

I also put the Vodacom sim into my LG G2 that was running a stock rooted something and that worked perfectly too(still no LTE). Was weird using that again though after the G3. Made me really appreciate the bad ass-ness of the G3.

Anyways hope this was not a waste of post. Rock on G3
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
Always good to hear a firsthand account from a traveler.

It would be useful if you could post what you used for APN entries as well.
[Verizon LG G3] alien8u:
All the APNs were auto populated and I just experimented with a couple different ones. Vodacom.sa and vodacom.lte.sa were the two that I tried. Ended up just keeping it on the LTE one hoping that it would pick up LTE at some point. Both APNs gave me similar performance and service. I never had to mess with the actual APN settings or manually input anything.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
That's great, but pretty strange since the vs985 requires a new APN setting to be manually entered in the USA each time I switch to either my T-mobile or AT&T sim.
