It shouldnt matter. Once we (by we I mean the developers) get a hold of the Firmware the LTE models can have the same love.

true dat. be nice to drop a 7105 5.0 rom on my note 2. be even nicer if t-mobile drops it though

How long until we get the first international rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hodgestl:
You are certainly correct. However, some of us are T-Mo customers that live in marginal T-Mo coverage areas. We, or certainly me anyway, rely heavily on WiFi calling. So we depend on an actual T-Mo release. I have very recent (3 mos.) and very marginal LTE coverage and above average HSPA+ coverage where I live. (T-Mo still does not show my city in the LTE list!) I love the developer ROMs, but I use the WiFi calling a lot to improve my coverage. Of course, what does that make me, to stay with T-Mo in a marginal coverage area!? duh !!! Thank you for your wonderful development work.

Happy New Year to all!

Condolances - Stuck Like Me !!!! lol

Old thread I know, I have a similar issue and NO carrier in Orlando has any better network coverage where I live than any other, so it's WiFi calling or almost nothing and I'm not selling my house over that issue. lol

Please no one hold your breath for anything from T-Mobile on a Note II; please see this link:

Best to all of you, anyone needing T-Mobile semi-seamless WiFi calling on a Note II is stuck at 4.3.x

I have mobile from UAE, When I try to unlock its IMEI Changed from original to 00499901064. Is there any cost effective way to restore it back. As many results show that it is a bad IMEI. EFS or any other back up is not taken
[XDA Assist] It_ler:
Seems to be a generic IMEI.

Maybe you are lucky and this guide works for you: [GUIDE] Recover your IMEI in 9 steps..

It was originally created for another Samsugn device, but works fine on various (Samsung) devices.

If not, please ask in the Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.

Guys, pull up a chair and put your feet up, I'll tell you a story.

As some of you may know, by day I'm a commercial lawyer based in London, and by night I steal ice creams from little children.

Right now I'm working on a possible anti-competitive practise investigation, and so am working in Brussels for a few weeks. Yesterday I got to the Eurostar station in Brussels, all ready for my plush seated journey home, when I discovered the unhappy news that all trains were cancelled due to a fire in London.

Anyway, that's the context of my story.

While fighting back the tears of anguish at the prospect of spending another night in a 5 star hotel with free porn, I noticed that the smart suited gentleman next to me was using an interesting phone that I didn't recognise.

Now, you could say that I've seen a phone or two in my time, but I didn't recognise this one. And it was a nice phone, ie "trading in the One Ring" for it nice. My Precioussss.

This phone: it was roughly the size of an excalibur, ie large smartphone format. It had a blackberry style keyboard (ie not slide out), was quite thin, and curiously, was smooth chrome/silver on the sides, although the front was mostly black. It had a large screen, although I didn't see the OS, and again, oddly, it had a nipple joystick like the Artemis that lit up white-ish when he touched it, much like my own erogenous zones.

Anyone know what it could have been? Me wants...

But I think I'll stick with HTCs for now... Blackberry OS = :(

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snj12341:
I recently converted my xt1033 to gpe on 4.4.2 and then did an OTA update of 4.4.4. I am recently downloading 5.0.1 OTA and now question is that if I did that OTA upgrade, will I be able to revert back to the stock xt1033 ROM or stock gpe or even any custom Roms? I am reading these forums that if I do straight OTA update to 5.0.1 of a gpe converted device, I would brick my device so the correct way to update would be to download and sideload the OTA zip.

I am really confused right now. Please someone reply. Thanks in advance.

anyone know where i can get a replacement stylus?! lost mine already.lol. it musta slipped out. or anyone have a spare in the birmingham area?!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mfrazzz:
Since you are CID Unlocked, your first order of business is to upgrade it to an official 2.x ROM. Personally I like the TMobile 2.26 ROM. There is a like at the top of this forum in Dr. P's post on how to CID unlock. Its in his first post.

Then after you successfully go through that, look at either Faria's AKU 3.3 or Molski's ROMs. Fast and stable. I haven't used the Molski ones yet, but the Faria AKU 3.3 was very nice and pretty complete (for a custom rom).

Biggest advise to you though is to Read, Read and Read. Yes it takes time to dig through the threads, but you will learn a ton and will be much better of for it.

Good luck! And have fun...

Hi,

Firstly you cannot flash a custom rom using stock recovery

always do read Twice before you proceed

Do you have a backup?

if you don't go here and download http://www.sammobile.com

then using ODIN flash the firmware to revert it back to stock(Out of the Box)

Its that Simple:)

A random selection of interesting things:

What recovery is good for applying my builds

Well they're all good, and they all work I bet. What I use is Phil's Touch and I'm on version 6.48.4 and it's worked perfectly.

How do I dirty flash my build on top of another CM12 build

I keep doing that since early F4k's builds and have no problems (yet!!). The trick is to only keep /data, while wiping everything else:

* Copy your newly build .zip file to your sdcard (you'll want to have a large enough sd card, I think)

* (if you want to) copy F4k's kernel and/or gapps too.

* Reboot your phone, go to recovery

* Backup your current phone. Seriously, never miss that step.

* Format /system (in Phil's Touch that's under "mounts and storage")

* Format /cache (as above)

* Select "install zip from sd card" and choose your ROM

* (if you want to) repeat "install zip from sd card" for F4k's kernel and/or gapps.

* Reboot your phone. It will take ~5 minutes or so for ART to re-compile all your apps

Soo my build didn't work. Wat do??

* Reboot to Recovery

* What I do is another backup. This gives me a nice archive containing my broken build, which I can later investigate

* Use recovery to restore the backup you've made before applying your build

* Reboot. You're back on a build that worked. Phew~

* (if you want to investigate) copy both backups (one that works and one that doesn't) to your PC. Uncompress the contents of /system for both, see if they obviously differ (such as one having binary blobs and one not lol).

Use F4k's kernel if you want to

Up to you, but here it is: https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/F4k/kernel_f4k-lp

I use it and as a result, I don't bother to optimise/improve CM12 kernel. I also don't care if I ever mis-compile CM12 kernel (not that it ever happens).

Gapps location

I use "mini" from here: https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/TKruzze/Android 5.0.1 GApps and all I can say is that it worked for me so far.

I made some changes and I forgot what I did

Command "repo status" will give you a list of all the files you've modified across all the git repositories.

I made some changes to a file and I forgot how it looked before

Go to that file's directory (or at least its git repository, but it's somewhat hard to figure out what is the repository structure in your workspace) and issue "git diff" command. It will produce a diff file with all your changes.

I made some changes to a file and I want to undo that

Go to that file's directory and issue "git checkout [filename]" command. It will drop your changes and replace the file with original.

My build finished and I want to make a new, fresh, one

You want to say "make clean" before you do "brunch serranoltexx" again.

Coming up: Basic JustArchi-inspired optimisations
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] sysKin:
Compile for cortex-a15 target

The CPU in our S4mini is called Krait. It's neither Cortex-A9 nor Cortex-A15, but it's supposed to be similar to A15. However, the CM12 build system does not have an appropriate entry for Krait and defaults to generic A7+Neon, a choice that is not VERY bad but presumably not optimal either.

Go to file: ~/android/system/build/core/combo/arch/arm/armv7-a-neon.mk

Find the line that detects a15-compatible architectures (cortex-a15 and denver):

ifneq (,$(filter cortex-a15 denver,$(TARGET_$(combo_2nd_arch_prefix)CPU_VARIANT)))

add krait to the list:

ifneq (,$(filter krait cortex-a15 denver,$(TARGET_$(combo_2nd_arch_prefix)CPU_VARIANT)))

Activate neon vector extensions

[edit] see "Activate neon vector extensions, for real this time" on page 3 for a working, but hacky, solution[/edit]

Activate linker optimisations

In the in file: build/core/combo/select.mk there's room for some linker parameters.

Find the line that says:

$(combo_var_prefix)GLOBAL_LDFLAGS :=

and change it to:

$(combo_var_prefix)GLOBAL_LDFLAGS := -Wl,-O1

(that's: dash whiskey lima comma dash oscar one, no spaces, in case it's not readable)

I do not know what kind of optimisations linker makes, but this parameter asks it to make them.

Wooo thanks, this is exactly the kind of knowledge I'm hoping we can put in one place, and I'm a noob when it comes to android build system (and |repo| script).

Yup!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] sej7278:
well it won't actually save you a 500mb download, it'll just download it using repo, but at least it'll keep it up-to-date this way (as i recall there is a way to just checkout the directories you want, but i can't remember it, think you have to list every directory you don't want and remove it).

you can also add revision="cm-12.0" to the end of the tag, but cm-12.0 is the default now anyway.

i'd say USE_CCACHE=1 is worth doing, unless you're making major changes for every build, it defaults to only using 1Gb these days.

also if like me you've already checked out the cm-11.0 branch, you can switch to cm12 using:

repo init -b cm-12.0
repo sync -j16
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] sej7278:
built ok after a second repo sync (think i was in the middle of a merge window) and it turns out you don't need to get the prebuilts anymore, the terminal app is part of the source now.

oh and the screen off memory leak patch has been merged now.

it did take my 3.2ghz core-i5 with ccache on an ssd and 12gb ram about 2.5 hours to build, so a lot longer than cm7/9/10 (30-45mins) and a bit longer than cm11 (1.5-2 hours)
