[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] MunkinDrunky:
Someone would have to try, but it is dangerous and for the more experienced... for the qualcomm devices what I understand is that one can enable the various bands that can be enabled but this doesn't mean they can be used due to hardwares. In most of the cases I've read about, only a few bands on average are able to be enabled (nothing is guarenteed, but some claims of call, sms, etc). It would be interesting to know what bands on the moto maxx are disabled (not advertised and probably not even usable harware-wise, but interesting none the less).

I searched around and read a bit but for others who are curious- these are from various devices fora: http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/thread-progress-please-leave-im-updating-t2871269

No, you can't bring a non Verizon phone to Verizon. The only method to do so is illegal and it is against forum rules to discuss it here.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] adrynalyne:
That isn't 100% true.

Nexus 6 anyone? Nothing illegal there.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
OK, using

this guide

and the numbers from the

NV calculator

, I enabled all the LTE bands I wanted.

I confirmed this number.

So, I changed the value and after reboot it kept the new value.

As the Moto Maxx was being tested to be the Nexus 6 as late as mid-August, it has the same capabilities of the Nexus 6 (including Qi wireless charging, which is VERY unusual on a Moto phone). Thus it can also handle T-mobile's LTE band 12 just like the Moto Maxx, not that it matters. It was LTE band 5 (for AT&T) I was more worried about. When this phone with this same FCC ID number went through the FCC it had LTE band 5 enabled, but when sold in Puerto Rico (U.S. territory) with this same FCC ID number, LTE band 5 was no longer present but LTE band 3 was enabled.

Now they are all enabled. :)

So, yeah, I wouldn't buy a phone without that capability. ;)

But then, I also wouldn't buy a phone where I couldn't unlock the bootloader and root, either.

The above procedure will work on most any Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset phone from a major manufacturer. Most manufacturers use the same hardware across the world, but use software lockdown to only enable certain bands for specific carriers. If you are rooted, you can use available software to unlock those bands.

Here's something similar for the Samsung Galaxy S5:

Enable unlock edit add GSM LTE bands to Samsung Galaxy S5 QualComm

Nice

Awesome ChazzMatt!

I have a Moto Maxx on the way and am eager to try this. In the S5 tutorial, a custom kernel is mentioned as being required. Is that the case for the Moto Maxx? I'm not even sure if one exists yet...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] danger2u:
so i guess the band 20 LTE is impossible to unlock if the antena is limited?

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
I'm actually optimistic you can send/receive on LTE band 20, if enabled. I'm just throwing out a cautionary note.

Enabling in software does not overcome hardware (antenna) limitations. However, I do not know what antenna(s) Moto put in this phone. Except it's the same antenna as in the Droid Turbo. If you can receive LTE band 13 (Turbo) and LTE band 17 (Moto Maxx) and LTE band 5 (FCC testing of the Moto Maxx), which are all in similar frequency ranges as band 20, you might can send/receive on band 20 too.

Go look at this chart.

http://niviuk.free.fr/lte_band.php
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mr2sweet:
Just a note. Just because the value sticks after a reboot in qpst doesn't mean the bands are enabled. I tried to do the exact sam thing with band 17 on the droid turbo so it would work on at&t. I followed all the steps and put my Sim card in. I live in an area with band 17 LTE support. After a reboot I still didn't have LTE on band 17 even though I enabled it and the value stuck. The only real way to tell if the bands are unlocked and working is to test them in an area that uses that band after you change the value. Just wanted people to know that I tried this for the turbo and it didn't work. If anyone knows why else mivht make it work I'm open to trying it as I have a turbo and a moto maxx.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] wingsfortheirsmiles:
I would speculate that you're correct. Neither Mexico or Brazil use band 20 and (like the Nexus 5) Google brought out a US model and RotW model for the final Nexus 6. Assuming the Turbo/Maxx was chosen instead to be the Nexus 6, I believe the same approach would be used. :(

That won't stop me from trying to unlock 20 when my Maxx arrives though!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] danger2u:
Maybe we have same antena like the Nexus 6,but with american limitation for LTE CDMA and Gsm

we need to test it more

we make a big step with [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] being able to conect it to the programs and changed the values

i need my Maxx to test it too and see if we are able to unlock it for real.

some users says that they changed and enabled the missing bands,but the phone still not reconigze the LTE 4G and goes to H+.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] aaronc_98:
Question for Chazz

"Only when I got the modem to be recognized, was I able to move forward. This same thread has an addendum for Moto phones, which helped tremendously as a few steps differ from the other brand being discussed."

Chazz I cant seem to find the addendum- can you please point me to the right place? I cannot get my modem recognized...

thanks,

AC
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Sure. I can send the link tomorrow, I'm away from computer tonight. But the first post has over 30 steps . The "Moto" addendum, is a few pages into that thread, and replaces steps 7-14, for Motorola phones. Then the guy says do the rest of the steps after that from the first page.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] aaronc_98:
ok- so I believe that I found the MOTO reference, but it was a bit of a bear to get configured none the less. I am not 100% sure how to post a quote from another thread so here goes - http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-de...m-updating-t2871269/post58081304#post58081304

The most important step is that I had to go to bootloader and do BP Tools on each re-boot. I will write a short add-on if I can find the time. But I believe that I was able to unlock band 12 for t-mo as I am in Minneapolis and band 12 has rolled out here. I have not been able to confirm from my house, but I will as soon as I can...

thank you

AC
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] aaronc_98:
Well, I have not been able to receive Band 12 LTE on my Maxx yet. Band 4 is the only one so far. Does anybody know a way to force band 12? I suppose that I could back and turn off band 4 in the software, but it is working pretty well... Ideas?

thanks,

AC
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] aaronc_98:
I programmed it so only band 12 is active and i could NOT get LTE on my MAXX. I am not 100% certain that I have active band 12 in minneapolis where I am, but they announced that it was active here sometime ago. I assume that we must not have the hardware to support band 12 or this software is not able to enable, but it seems that ChazzMatt has confirmed that band 5 is active for ATT. Hopefully, someone can prove me wrong...

Enjoy the rom guys! Be sure to be gentle in the aroma installer as the touch recognition is a bit off so you may need a couple of presses sometimes

Loving this ROM so far!! I was wondering if it was possible to make the s-pen work like the one on the Note phones? I like how you can scroll and select without even touching the phone with the S-pen on the Note phones. More functionality.

Like how it works in the recovery.

This and the multi window features on the Note 4 would make the note pro rock!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Zugshad:
Yeah i noticed that. So far is running pretty well. The only issue running into is random fc for system.ui

I did clean install and first tried the Cyvz kernel and got quite a bit and then did another clean install and tried bonuuz. . This one still does it but seems less

Both times i went back in and wiped davlik and cache. . However it still occurs. could it really be the kernel and i need to use stock? Letting it charge back up and I'll test some more tomorrow
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] muzzy996:
I was getting the system ui crashes with stock kernel too.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Zugshad:
Ok good.. well not good, but good to know it is going on with either of them. So yeah, not really sure what it could be. Scott, do you want a logcat the next time it happens to see what is going on? Or is this something you have an idea on already?

Thanks again

I'm on the stock kernel and get the same crash. Other than that the rom is "silky smooth"

Have you guys tried going into the app manager and wiping the cache and data for system.ui? I'm not home right now to test. I flashed mine late last night and was getting them while setting up and we left out early so haven't had the chance to mess with it this morning

Back On Topic...

ISSUE RESOLVED. See posts 183 & 184.

If anyone knows of a solution to cure the Internal SD write issue, resulting from restoring this ROM using TWRP, please let me know. I would still prefer to use my most recent backup, since it is less quirky than the fresh install I did today.

Thanks,

Steven
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] dodo99x:
Yes I know what FolderMount's primary function is, but it also repairs improperly mounted partitions. I have had many issues with TWRP restores and this is the only app that detected and fixed the issue. I too was unable to save anything to internal storage, from Chrome, other browsers, etc.

All you need to do is install and run the app. You don't need to select anything. When the app starts, the partition checking process is done automatically. If something is detected it will tell you and ask if you want it fixed. Just say yes, then reboot. Done. You lose nothing by trying it. [emoji3]
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Phuyuk:
You, Sir, have also been elevated to the rank of God!

Dodo, I'm sorry I second-guessed you! How on earth did you discover this totally undocumented feature? Like you said, it does the check immediately on startup - and yes, it found the error! FIXED!

Thank you so very much, and an effigy of your online likeness shall be placed beside that of Scott's! ;)

So, now I have three questions:

1) Are there any other issues waiting for me, now that I'm running on a TWRP backup of this ROM?

2) What are you using for recovery, if not TWRP - CWM?

3) Does FolderMount (now that it's installed) have any utility, other than fixing the SD module?

Thank you, again!

Steven :)

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] dodo99x:
I use TWRP, but that internal memory writing issue seems to be quite random. Usually seen after the first time you install TWRP and restore a backup. I doubt it will happen again for you. Just use FolderMount again if it does. I don't quite remember how I came upon it. Surely saw a post about it here on XDA.

Large games sometimes will not allow itself to be transfered to external sdcard, FolderMount allows you to do so. I've never had a desire to do it, especially since external memory is much slower and might cause some lag during gaming.

I'm glad it worked [emoji3]

I have never had any issue restoring a backup with twrp (or any recovery) on any of my 5 android devices or the 10 ish others I've worked with for other people. I guess I lucked out -- or at least wasn't unlucky :)

at any rate, patched up my devices with folder mount to be safe. thankies
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] dodo99x:
Yep, this is the only device that I've had issues with TWRP. I believe there's a CWM build floating around that would work on this device. I think it's in the SM-T900 section. Haven't tried it yet.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Phuyuk:
TWRP & FolderMount...

The issue is 100% persistent for me - it happens the same wirh six different backups of this (Hyperdrive) ROM, but not with any of my factory ROM backups - all created with the same TWRP recovery. But, no problem... Restore is now a 2-step process, including a quick run of FolderMount. It works

every

time.

I wish there was a Samsung based ROM (with multi-window, etc.) in which I could adjust the resolution (eg 1920x1080 for an external monitor/TV). But all these ROMs crash at this resolution. With CM based ROMs that's no problem, but you will miss very much.

Can't change colors

Hi. I installed yesterday the Rom.

I'm trying to change the colors.. .but I dont know how to accept the changes...in the hyperdrive tweaks... I select the color, but I cant find any option to accept the color.. the only way to go out of the window with the color picker... is to press the back button.. so the color doesn't change and remains a black square.

Any hint?

CRT and Fade Animations

I finally got around to enabling the CRT animation that I have missed since before installing Hyperdrive - it was part of Wanam Exposed, or another framework module I used to have- only to discover that it was

already set

in build.prop. I changed it to fade, just to see what would happen, saved the file, rebooted... no change - just instant-off, as it has been since installation. I do have a couple of framework modules installed (Lightningwall, OwnOrientaion, PlayPermissionsExposed, and the provided XButtonActions), but I don't remember ever having the CRT-fade animation with Hyperdrive.

Have I missed something? Does something else need to be set/cleared?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Steven,
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] sbreen94:
Try disabling xposed and then test the animations. They are working fine for me when set via the build prop. You can follow the instructions in tweaks to change it
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Sterist:
fade can sometimes be hard to notice, especially if you have the brightness as low as it goes

I have not tested it myself on a tab (always have preferred crt) but when I tried it on a phone a while back I had a hard time noticing
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Phuyuk:
CRT and Fade Animations...

Hi Scott,

Except for a few color-change-tweaks not working here and there - and not being entertained for 300ms with a CRT animation when I put the tablet to sleep - I am quite satisfied with the way the tablet is functioning. As I'm sure you recall, my main objective was to un-cripple the spellchecker, and everything else is bonus. So, I'm pretty easy to please!

Opening build.prop for the first time today, I discovered that the ROM had installed with the animation already set to CRT, and I remember noticing the absence of the CRT effect when I installed this ROM, since I was used to having CRT before Hyperdrive.

However, I'm not doing anyone a service by not following through with a sensible test. I did try un-installing Framework. I then made sure that persist.sys.screen_off=crt in build.prop - as I had done before... and... nothing. No CRT effect. Like I said, I do know what the animation looks like, since I had it before installing Hyperdrive. Changing it to 'fade' also has no effect.

So, I've reinstalled Framework because Lightningwall (an Xposed module) is the least-leaky firewall I've come across, to date.

Scott, what are you using for a firewall, and how does it compare to defim's Lightningwall, if you've used it?

Thanks,

Steven
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] melonatrix:
Hi

Haven't installed Framework in this Rom yet..

I've checked build.prop and there's the line persist.sys.screen_off=crt but the crt off animation doesn't work for me neither. So the problem, I supose, has nothing to do with Framework.

Thanks

Enrique.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] sbreen94:
Weird, my tablet is turning off with crt fine. Maybe you just can't see it or are missing it?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Phuyuk:
CRT animation...

My screen just 'blinks out' when I press the power button. Like I said, I had the CRT animation until the day I installed HyperDrive. It wasn't a feature that I actively searched out, but it was packaged in 'Wanam xPosed', a Framework module I had installed on the stock ROM. So, I know what it looks like.

Wait a second...

Scott, maybe I'm just seeing things... is it possible that the animation is actually there, but that the frame-rate is too high? For the past minute, I've been powering on and off - over and over - and I think I see it... something... maybe... but it's too fast to be discernable as the CRT effect. Does that make any sense? Is it possible?

Steven
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] sbreen94:
Yeah it makes sense to me. I think due to the size of the tablet the crt off is animated in a larger area which makes it less concentrated and harder for you to see
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Phuyuk:
CRT and Fade Animations...

Cool. So is the CRT effect in 'Wanam xPosed' just better-optimized for the screen properties of the P900? In that version, the effect is a very good facsimile of the old B&W TV in our basement when I was a kid, with the vertical deflection collapsing to a bright, centered horizontal line at the end.

Also, you said that you see the effect working properly on your tablet. Is it a matter of subjective perception of 'proper' operation?

Like I said before, this ain't no deal-breaker for me - I'm happy with what I've got!

Steven
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] sbreen94:
I'm not really sure, I've never used wanam xposed as i like native mods built into the rom, but maybe? Probably would just need a little tinkering with the animation speed to slow it down and look better but for me i see/enjoy the crt off
