[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rehan smart:
Hello

I have recently purchased a HTC desire 816w from Amazon.com but surprisingly received a Chinese version.

I am totally new to the ROM and kernel thing and I am a total non technical guy from zoology field.

The phone is rooted on booting shows recovery as suggested by many, but the language is Chinese that i am unable to make out what i have to do next.

please suggest me how to get rid of this.

secondly some ROM files were mentioned in this blog which are not existing anymore.

I will be really thankful if someone can please suggest me step by step procedure how to do this, because even a small mistake can brick my phone.

It runs htc sense 5.5 at present. There is no option of software upgrade in the menu.

Whenever I try to go to the recovery every single word is in Chinese and I cant make a sense of it.

I do not know which Cyanogen mode is it.

Please help me.

thanks in advance.

You have a fake HTC Desire 816.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rehan smart:
i hope its not fake

I do not think it is fake , the following points go in favour of it being genuine HTC:

1. Bought from Amazon.com

2. All the hardware info apps show the processor as 1.59 Ghz qualcom MSM8226 processor

3.All the RAM checking apps show RAM to be above 1.3 GB

4. Benchmark scores are good and just lie around Xioami MI3 and above Samsung S3

I am attaching the about phone info.

Is the any other way to see if it is genuine.

[MENTION=6285204]rehan smart[/MENTION] its original htc 816 china unicom version. i bought this phone too.. everything is well expect camera. it sucks as hell. u cant update this phone. there is no power option in setting so u cant uncheck fastboot and unlock bootloader.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rehan smart:
Thank you Arafman

[MENTION=6023436]arafman[/MENTION]. Thanks a lot for the reply .

I truly agree the camera sucks. It is like a 5 mp camera , specially the back camera.

Is there any way we can improve the picture quality as 13 mp camera was a big attraction when I purchased this phone.

Also how to find which cyanogen mode is it running.

I really feel like Amazon cheated me by sending this Chinese version. I had bought Amazon fulfilled item in hope to avoid the problems I am facing now, but realized this only afrer the 30 days return period was over.

Any help on any sort of improvement in this phone is most welcome.

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rehan smart:
some Chinese geek can help us

[MENTION=6023436]arafman[/MENTION]

Since this is a Chinese version some Chinese tech genius can definitely help us. Selling the phone wont fetch good price as people will run away as soon as they see Chinese language while booting up.

The best way is to use this phone by tweaking it with the help of XDA developers.

If all other phones can be tweaked then why not this one as it is a rooted ohone.

Also can you please tell me is there any way to know the megapixel of my camera. I am really surprised by the low quality pictures worse then my 8mp Galaxy grand duos.

[Zooper Widget General] Lstarz:
Is it possoble to get me to press a bitmap and male ot shrink while making a different one grow?
[Zooper Widget General] Torgadden:
Yes this can be achieved. With any type of toggle input you will need to create a Tasker task which will toggle a variable on or off. You can then output this variable to Zooper and use a conditional to act upon the variable state (in this case you would want to use the bitmap scaling function on each of the bitmaps) then set the module on tap element of both bitmaps to the task shortcut in order to activate it.

The speed at which this works would be dependant on your phone/tablet so it might not work particularly fast.
[Zooper Widget General] Lstarz:
Is there a video for this? Im kinda confused but im understanding it a little more.
[Zooper Widget General] Torgadden:
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

This isn't a video but should help you to create the toggle in Tasker: http://www.pocketables.com/2013/03/how-to-create-a-toggleable-task-in-tasker.html

After you have got that working you just need to add another action so press + in your task then select plugin, and then Zooper Widget Pro.

In configuration enter the Tasker variable in ZW Text (remember the %) and enter a name in ZW Variable which you want to use in zooper, this can be anything you want. The convention is to use all capitals for Zooper variables buy it is not necessary.

Once you have saved this you will see that Tasker has added #T to the start of your variable and another # at the end, this is what you will be using in zooper.

Exit from the task with the < icon in the top left corner until you are back at the task page. This is important as it saves your task and also you will not be able to access the task shortcut from Zooper (or any other app for that matter) as Tasker will still be in edit mode.

Right, in your zooper widget call up one of your Bitmaps and go to advanced parameters. Enter this code , changing the variable name to what you have chosen

$#TTASK#=1?[s]50[/s]:[s]100[/s]$

This tells Zooper to display bitmap at 50% if #TTASK# is set to 1 or 100% otherwise

Go to module on tap, select the Task Shortcut from the shortcuts menu, then select your task from the list - It will probably prompt you to select an icon. Do that and you have finished that bitmap. Now repeat the parameters in the other bitmap but change =1 to =0 so it is reversed then you are done.

Hopefully I haven't missed anything;) but let me know if you encounter any problems.
[Zooper Widget General] Lstarz:
I almost got it, when i tap the picture it just switches between hello and world its probly my tasker but ill show u a screenshot
[Zooper Widget General] Torgadden:
You've misunderstood me a little there, probably my fault.:D

In Zooper configuration enter %Toggle as the ZWText. It need to be the variable you have already defined in tasker, otherwise you are telling tasker to output a variable that you are not setting.

Also, you can just put one zooper plugin activity after the End If instead of having two separate statements as Tasker will read this last and update then.
[Zooper Widget General] Lstarz:
Dude the man it works now

When I'm done with the widget I'll tell you so u can see what I shud improve, ATM I have 2 five nights at Freddy's widgets posted if u wanna check them out
[Zooper Widget General] Lstarz:
Yo, the doors work for the toggle, but I'm trying to make chika and bonnie pop up on screen after a certain time that they show up at the doors

So basically, can I make a timer that that is triggered by one bitmap showing up and when it goes to zero a different bitmap pops up?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nextelbuddy:
I would really love to be able to swap the back and recent buttons on the nav bar so that the back button is on the right side and the recents button is on the left leaving the circle home button in the center. This would make one handed use for me super easy as I rarely use the recents button one handed but the back button is my most used button more than home.

is there a way to do this and RETAIN google launcher? I dont want to resort to using another launcher if I dont have to. I was hoping maybe a root enabled app of some sort possibly?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
You don't need to change launchers to swap navigation bars. Those two are completely irrelevant.

This is a custom rom feature, it is not yet implemented. In the themes and apps forum, you can find a tutorial on how to do what you're asking for.

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBeal:
Hi all,

This after noon I wanted to take a photo with the camera 8Mpx my Razr i (the large, not the front one) and my phone told me "Camera is Unable to initialize."

The front camera works fine however.

I deleted the cache and data from the "Camera" app and it worked once.

Some hours later, I had the same problem, deleting data changed nothing. I rebooted, no change either.

My phone is modded a lot, I started it in safe mode to avoid starting all my Root apps. Apparently it works, the camera starts up just yet.

I have a lot of Xposed module. The only one that is likely to use the camera is Snapchat. I disabled it and she still did not work.

I don't think I am going to bother uninstalling my applications one by one. I'll flash a clean ROM and test the long term.

I read on a forum that someone had the same problem he had opened his mobile phone and re-tensioned springs that serve as connectors between modules attached to the casing and the motherboard.

Before flashing a new ROM and disassemble it, can someone advise me some tests?

Maybe we can identify the issue before using "the hard way".

In advance, thank you

Titus.

EDIT :

I rectify, in safe mode it does not work either.

Hard issue then I guess ...

some details

The reboot by removing the cache and data of 'Camera' makes it usable for about 1 hour.

I questioned a Snapchat plugin with Xposed but even by uninstalling it changes nothing.

Xposed installs something in '/ system'. Perhaps the plugin uninstaller does not remove this?

I compared my logs with another phone with a camera works, there is clearly no log out of the apk Camera.

We must not consider the warning "gralloc" which is also present when my camera works.
