[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidJoe:
Is there a PC with spare hard drive space on the same network?

Kodi/SPMC/XBMC has the ability to make an SMB connection to a windows file share and play files from it. I do this with my Fire TV (box) and Fire TV stick to connect to my Win2012 server with many hard drives in it (holding all my movies converted from my blurays).

If a "Browse Master" isn't available on the network you wont be able to "browse" to find the computer and shared folder, and will instead have to manually use IP address and folder info for the "server" machine into Kodi/SPMC/XBMC when trying to setup the SMB connection.

Offline usage.

I have this Dane-Elec Media Streamer for hooking USB and SD cards that lets me connect to it through the FireTV's internet menu.

If you can sideload a matching app for one of these streamer doohickies,you should be able to connect straight to one.

There is one downside where it can stupidly auto-connect to a different remembered internet connection when you are using the streamer's connection.

I wonder if there is an offline cloud box for accessing files via "offline internet" or maybe even bluetooth?

There are quite a few Video Add-ons for XBMC/Kodi that make local storage a thing of the past. Between those and IPTV configs, you may not even notice. Although, most USA ISPs don't like streaming only households. Overages, etc may hurt the pocketbook...

[Android Apps and Games] akhi24nick:
Here's my first real attempt at making an android app/game :D

Swift Word is a fun filled and challenging word game backed by a simple, minimalistic UI.

Rules of the game would be that you have to change one letter in the four-letter word the computer gives you. The computer will then change one letter in the word you used and so on. You may not use proper nouns or reuse words that have already been used. The first person to use all possible words wins! You can avail three hints per game to assist you in the game.

Go play the game and see if you are good enough to beat the computer a over game of words.

All the words used in the game are sourced from the official dictionary used in TWL 2014.

Got any feedback or suggestion?

Leave it down as comments below.

[Android Apps and Games] akhi24nick:
Cool. Do let me know what you think :D
[Android Apps and Games] Entangled Multiverse:
Nice word game, I find it very hard for beginners, though. Maybe add some difficulty level, especially some easier difficulty ? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] mrdoug:
It has a nice clean interface. Permissions are non-existent (yeah). A great start.

I agree with those before me... It can be very challenging. I thought if it could have a multi-player mode, perhaps through bluetooth, that would be awesome. Instead of playing vs a computer with a dictionary at its disposal you could have a more level playing field.

Finally, I couldn't find an option to end the game (admit defeat). Is there a button I'm missing? I back arrowed out of my 200 something word game when I couldn't figure out another word. That didn't get an entry in my scores (as a defeat, obviously).
[Android Apps and Games] pgoat06:
Out of curiosity, what word database is used?
[Android Apps and Games] Al_Fish:
The screens should tell more about the game. UI is simple, but there should be some hints on the screen. Take a look how they did it in Two Dots game.
[Android Apps and Games] akhi24nick:
Difficulty Level, Multiplayer mode and the Give up button or accepting defeat button are all concentrated on now for the next update. Thanks for the feedbacks :)

As I mentioned in OP it uses the dictionary from TWL 2014.

[General Questions and Answers] browngeek:
I'm looking for a dual sim phone which supports LTE, but with as close to stock AOSP as possible and also with reasonably hi specs.

I know I could go down the S5 or HTC M8 route and I guess they are options.

I have however been looking at some of the Chinese manufacturers which are presently offering some very good speced dual sim LTE phones, namely the Honor 6, Elephone P3000s and the Nubia Z7 mini. My biggest issue with these though is rom support and whether they contain GAPPS (and also how rootable they are).

Reading around it seems that the Nubia Z7 mini might be the best supported in terms of Rom (both officially and unofficially).

I am seriously tempted by the Elephone P3000s (when it comes in stock) mainly because of the price as well.

Any other thoughts, or options I'm missing out on?

Ive been looking for a while and no one is actually sure about voiding the warranty. Has anyone done it and sent it in? Can some one explain about cid unlocking a little. Reading the other posts just gets me (and im sure others) confused
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mfrazzz:
Let me make it simple... CID Unlock voids your warranty. period. The question comes in that when you try to do warranty work is whether they will notice or not. I've heard some say they don't, and others have said they do. So in a nutshell, just understand that you ARE VOIDING your warranty. You may or may not be "caught" though if you try to get warranty work, but you made the decision to do something that voids it, so you have to live with that choice.

If you can't read and understand this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=285435

then you have no business doing this procedure. Dr. P has written an excellent post that takes you through the process step by step. Very simple and even tells you what to look for as you do it. There is no point trying to explain it further as it would be the exact same post as Dr. P's since it lays it out step by step in full detail.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jawnsixteen:
ok, thank you.

now just one last question, i have upgraded to the newest tmobile rom, and i read somewhere that by doing that it unlocks somthing, did i read wrong?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mfrazzz:
I'm not aware of installing the newest (2.26?) TMobile ROM unlocking anything. You need to do the CID Unlock procedure and then finish by installing a rom like the TMobile 2.26 official rom. But jsut installing this rom doesn't unlock anything, just gets you to a current stable base to work off of for doing custom roms (very important step that too many people seem to be skipping).

There are a couple of other Onda models like V101W which are even more confusing.

Any insight, suggestions? Especially over brands.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azerty728:
Hi there,

I've got a problem with my Z1. I am with 14.4.0.157 stock ROM, and locked BL.

I rooted it (working), then added Dual Recovery (working).

Then I tried to install DStriker ROM (http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z1/development/rom-dstrikerz1-kai-rom-1-0-t2928666).

With TWRP, at the end of Aroma installer, I unticked 'reboot now' then bim, black screen, nothing possible to do, nothing worked : stucked at black screen. I pushed hard power off button, then at reboot : stuck at Sony logo.

I searched this forum and found how to make it back : I went to flashtool then reflashed stock, all was working again.

I made all the root and recovery operations. All was working. Then I tried with CWM Recovery. After install/reboot (as asked in the installation instructions) : stuck at Sony logo.

So I made (once again) all modifications to flash stock/root/recovery. So I tried another custom ROM : iHAckers one (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2716182). Aroma working well, install OK then reboot : STUCK again at Sony Logo !

In conclusion : only stock ROMs seem to work on my phone (or the ones flashed with Flashtool), I can root and install Recovery, install ROMs from recovery too, but impossible to boot on these new ROMs.

Searching for a solution to install a new custom ROM.

Any help ?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azerty728:
I guess I found something :

- I changed the Dual recoveyr script with the last one (I thought I already had) : I used the last one from http://nut.xperia-files.com/

- I loaded and rooted before with 14.4.A.0.108 stock version.

I don't know which one solved the problem. I guess it is the recovery script, but I will do more tests, I believe it can help someone...

I will keep you up-to-date.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1G1_2:
i've had the same problem. The solution i found is that i should start the operation from stock 14.1.G.1.534. whenever i used another stock version, phone got stuck at sony logo.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azerty728:
I think Xperia Z1 is against newer stock firmwares when we want to update.

So till I installed iHackers with the method I explained above (other stock firmware), I've never met the problem again.

I then flashed to Dstriker and no problem. I think there was something wrong when coming from stock/rooted/dual recovery/locked BL 14.4.A.0.157...

Best regards and happy new year all.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyds86:
Hello, i've been lurking for a while this forum for advice with other devices but now i really need your help.

A few weeks ago i plugged the phone to the car USB port, i never had problems with it since (i think) i always plugged the phone with the car already on.

Now, there's this situation:

I get into the car, plugged in the phone and turned on the car, then the phone made a strange noise. As i checked the phone it was still working fine BUT it wasn't charging at all, it was like there wasn't any usb cable plugged to the microUSB port.

Since the phone was working fine i didn't mind, but as i returned home i tried several power chargers with diferent amps, cables and it wasn't charging the battery, so the phone died and i don't know what to do.

I took the phone to a phone service repair center and they changed the microUSB port but no luck.

This seems pretty strange since it was working normally in that condition, but i wasn't able tomake it charge in any way.

I'm trying to see if i can charge the battery just a little (i've teared down the phone) but i'm afraid i'll do something wrong since there are 4 connectors on the battery, also if there is any advice and if i need to look for something on the PCB to check if there was something blown.

Thank you very much, any help is appreciated.
[LG Optimus L90] jb3p76:
Please find at the URL below my copy of the stock ROM (Version C) for the D415, with my modifications included.

The D415 is a great phone for the price, and it came with many cool features. However, the phone still has an amateur streak running the stock ROM. Some of LG's apps are great on this phone, but some of them are downright useless for most of us. T-Mobile added their own pushy bloatware to the mix as well. The end result, as we all know, is a usually fluid, but at times clunky and awkward experience using the device. I was impressed the first day I had it, but I wanted to make it better that first day as well. I wanted to get rid of all the useless stuff, and polish it into something I wouldn't be embarrassed to pull out in front of a client. I liked a lot of what LG did here, and wanted to hold on to that, but I also wanted a few changes:

Root:

FOTAkill

SuperSU installed on first boot

Polish:

Small UI sounds changes

Boot Animation

Replaced Flashlight App (thanks to xbmi, consider a donation in the app)

Added Heads Up

Removed foo foo themes

Added Bookmarks Sync

Replaced Stock Messenger with AOSP MMS

Debloat:

LG Memo & Widget moved to user apps

LG Music & Widget moved to user apps

Visual Voicemail moved to user apps

Weather widget moved to user apps

Apps removed completely:

LG Contacts widget

TMobile TV

Lookout

CarrierIQ

Maps

Mobile Life

Streetview

Talkback

T-Mobile My Account

T-Mobile Name ID

Voice Dialer

Youtube

Amazon

Chrome

Cloud Print

Drive

Easy Home

Gmail

Google Plus

Google Calendar

Play News Stand

Play Books

Play Game

Play Movies & TV

Google Search

Google TTS

To do:

AOSP Keyboard (IDK what I'm doing here yet. It's crashing when I put it in now).

Version E (need to learn how to extract KDZ)

Instructions:

Download zip to SD

Reboot to Recovery

Wipe Dalvik, cache, data, system.

Install zip

Reboot and enjoy

[LG Optimus L90] jb3p76:
Keep poking around with it. There are a lot of hidden gems sprinkled in by lg that will really cause you to like this phone. I came off of a nexus 5 to this. I chose it for the price tag, you can't beat $7 a month and get the build quality and battery life. I would buy again. The only thing I miss is a decent camera. But the stock camera app helps with auto focus mode.

If the pure stock ROM works in the 405, this one should as well. I'm not sure myself without looking it up.
[LG Optimus L90] D1358531:
I have a D41510c and when I tried to install this rom, it failed. I'm restoring a backup, but I will try again in a while.
[LG Optimus L90] jb3p76:
Sorry to hear that, I tried very hard to make the cuts fine in this. Without further info I'm gonna guess the download got corrupted. The zip itself is really straightforward (simple script, boot and system imgs.) The only part I would have thought would have failed the installer was that I repacked the system IMG (saved a few hundred MBs) instead of simply unmounting it after my changes. Otherwise, if its going to break, it should be upon first boot. Let me know what happened if it doesn't work again.
[LG Optimus L90] D1358531:
I'm re-downloading, hopefully this will work! :)

I tried again, but it failed...

E:Error executing updater binary in zip

E:Unable to mount '/system'

EDIT: I was able to boot into the rom, but it's extremely slow
[LG Optimus L90] jb3p76:
Wondering if it has to do with first botched install now that it went. Were you able to format /system again? My other thought was repairing permissions. When it failed the first time, was it before "Setting permissions for root" was displayed? If so it was in the middle of flashing /system. I flashed this on mine using twrp. IDK that I will be much help but I think if we can figure out the variables Google should at least point us in the right direction...
[LG Optimus L90] jb3p76:
Before I get too far down the rabbit hole can anyone confirm they have successfully flashed this and its working out for them?
[LG Optimus L90] D1358531:
Well, I rebooted and it's faster now. I used towelroot to get root. Nohing appeared about the permissions. I was able to update the binaries using TWRP.
[LG Optimus L90] jb3p76:
It's should have already had root and SuperSU installs on first boot. Did that not happen? I'm glad your phone is doing better! So many weird things going on there!
[LG Optimus L90] D1358531:
I use ROM Toolbox Pro, and when I went to start it the first time, it said root check had failed. That's why I used towelroot. I'll continue to test things and report back to you. So far, it's pretty smooth.
[LG Optimus L90] jb3p76:
Weird. Can you tell me if the SuperSU apk is to be found in /system/apps/bootup?
[LG Optimus L90] jb3p76:
I'm doing a backup so i can wipe and install fresh again. I'd like to mess around with the root stuff and see if I can figure that out. Did you happen to get a listing of which files are missing?
[LG Optimus L90] catbro:
Flashing zip on d405 using TWRP 2.8.1.0 doesn't work.

set_perm: some changes failed
[LG Optimus L90] jb3p76:
Idk where else to go with the root issues...see screenshots.

Im also not sure about any models oher D415. IDK how similar these are, though im sure someone else does. Keep in mind all of the main working parts are still the d41510c firmware. There were no low level changes, and nothing recompiled.

I used set_perm just in case something somehow got messed up at least youd still have root shell to work it out. You can try removing those lines from the installer script and rezipping, the permissions should already be correct. Ymmv just because its a different firmware for your device.
[LG Optimus L90] D1358531:
Yep, it's there

It didn't give me any message
[LG Optimus L90] D1358531:

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/0989aed61d24/Calendar_4.3.13.apk
[LG Optimus L90] D1358531:

[LG Optimus L90] jb3p76:
Yeah that's why I took it out. I believe it only works with exchange servers. The official google calendar app is great if that's all you use.
