[Moto X Q&A] dray_jr:
Right now Android L or 5.0 Roms are New and buggy. Most 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 roms are stable.

Me personally i like Stock with Xposed and gravity box installed, then i use Titanium Backup there is a battery thread somewhere that list what can and can't be removed. just be careful what you remove or you will end up like me with no active display but everything else about my phone is perfect so i dont want to go back to stock and redo everything.

after xposed and TBU i normally find a launcher i like, then maybe a lock screen but i think i ended up with stock. then i find a Text MSG app i like and other little add-ons to make my phone just for me.

here us a list of what i am running on my Stock Sprint 4.4.4\

LockScreen - Stock but tweaked with GravityBox

Launcher - Google Now Launcher

Text App - Google's Messenger App

Gesture Shortcut Menu - Lazy Swipe( i just found this app about a week ago and so far i love it, it allows me to have a very clean homescreen)

everything else changed on my phone is done threw Xposed and gravity Box.

Here are some App's you might want to check out.

AirDroid

Google Calender(if you use a calendar)

Google Keyboard(my keyboard of choice)

GSam Battery Monitor

Lazy Swipe(listed above)

Lucky Patcher(for thous pesky trial apps)

Pushbullet( alternative app for transferring all kinds of files to and from your device)

Zedge(ringtones and wallpapers)

I also attached some screenshots nothing fancy like i said but i love it and its perfect for me

The first one is my lockscreen, second one is my launcher homescreen, Third one is Lazy Swipe just one of the three tabs.

anyways hope this helps get you started post your setup once you get everything set up to your liking

Good Luck

I have a refurbushed Galaxy S4 which has currently ROM showing GT-I9505 product name while in download mode I see the model as SPH-L720.

I would like to know if I'll be able to install I9505 ROM on it to use with French phone operator ?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmjm28:
I'm pretty clueless when it comes to the custom ROM /android development scene, almost thru the peewee trial and error level. Anyways, I've just rooted and flashed a custom Rom, candy5 5.0.2 on my D852 (see pic for specifics) . The one thing I can't figure out is how to get the quick circle case working. I've read that the quick circle case will not work on lollipop as of right niw, but I've also read a few posts that make it sound like some people have managed to get the case working.. Can someone, ANYONE look at my specifics and tell me whether or not I have to wait a while longer for the quick circle option. Better yet, if its available, can you point me in the right direction to get it up and running?!

Sent from my LG-D852
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KickingWriter:
It isn't possible at the moment. The only thing that works is when you close the case your phone sleeps.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmjm28:
The one and only flaw of LP IMO. Either way, sacrificing a case (for now) is worth it. Couldn't go back to kitkat ever. If you know android well and would consider modding /developing/hacking a hobby, how long would you guess for the LP circle case functionality.. If at all...?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aPuddle:
Bump, I am also curious. Could anyone explain in Layman's terms what the problem is? I am curious as to whether this is a problem which will be solved once LG releases their official 5.0 builds for the U.S. or if going AOSP essentially means no more Quick Circle case period. I don't mind waiting, I'd just like to know if its the sort of thing coming down the pipeline.

Thanks for help y'all can be.

went to go check it out at sony store to compare against moto360. The lcd of the SW3 is dull, washed out when you stack against moto. It resisted me from now ever considering SW3..
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Joachim Winter:
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

You obviously have less then no understanding of the differing screen technologies and also seem to lack the intelligence to make a worthwhile contribution to a forum concerning a product.

Bye now, hope not to see you again :D
[Sony Smartwatch 3] techrider6262:
I would say you need to look at them in the sunlight without the backlight on to see why sony uses the screen they did.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] corrado85:
dont get your panties in a bunch.

I love to own worthy sony products like z ultra, and even SW2 back in stone age.. but come on.. you cant deny the moto360 watch lcd is WAY inferior than this SW3

Yea moto360 has sunlight mode where it can be read very easily.

I am just warning people who are interested in either Moto360 or SW3 and the LCD quality is their no.1 priority, skip the SW3 for sure!

but do your own due dilligence as well :)

[Sony Smartwatch 3] AstroDigital:
I seen the same type of post in a review.

My 2 cents is the screen is the best for a smartwatch.

I owned many and you can not see the watch outside in direct sunlight ambient mode, this watch you can.

I created a Facer Face, Digital large font and the only time I need to turn on the backlight is when it is completely dark.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] corrado85:

No backlight, = no battery wasted into lighting. :good:

no battery wasted into lighting = 2 days of use, while still being able to see time at a glance. :good:

If I want to look at an impressive screen, I'll pull my G3 out of my pocket. Why bother making a 1.6" screen look really nice? That's not the point of a smartwatch. Why is everybody getting hung up on color quality of a 1.6" screen? :confused:

Most likely, I'm preaching to the choir, since most people reading this are probably already SW3 owners. In that case, Congrats on your smart purchase. :good:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiisper:
Just after updating to lollipop I completly smashed my screen. It doesn't show any usefull information and touch is not working.

Since I'm not in the mood to buy a new screen because I already bought a Note 4, I wanted to pull the data from the phone. It's pin protected but fastboot is still working, adb however is not.

After reading up a bit I found that going into cwm recovery I would still be able to acces adb.

So I with fastboot I booted cwm recovery (fastboot boot recovery.img) only to find that adb still won't find my devices.

Is there any way left to pull the data from my phone? I also have acces to a external keyboard/mouse with a otg cable but that won't seem to work either.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Boot into recovery and with your device plugged into your pc go to device manager. Do you see your device there?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiisper:
In recovery it doesn't show up.

On a normal boot it does, only no files are showing because of the pin lock.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Google 15 second adb install xda. It has drivers as well as sets up adb and fastboot on your pc which you'll need if you can get your device detected

Edit, also download the twrp image from here and boot into it fastboot boot twrp.img (use the full name of the twrp image file) cwm sucks. http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hammerhead

After that it showed up as galaxy nexus adb interface in the device managers and adb was able to find it.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] qooqoo:
i have cooked successfully more than 10 roms, WWE vesion to CHS vesion, they all work fine.

but when i want to cook a new rom based on LVSW 0320 vesion, i failed. i found that the default.hv can't be transfered to txt file, once i edit this file, os can't boot and stick on the SubSplash screen. but user.hv can do that.:confused:

sorry for post this new thread but i have posted under lvsw's thread and no one answer me.

can anyone help me plz, i really like this ROM.

thanks in advance.

:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zohaer21:
i had the same problem... then i came up with a briliant solutiion

you know the user.hv and initdata can be edited without any probs..also this version of the rom deploys the ext rom aswell.. so what i did was i edited config.txt and added a cab with the HKLM etc regs that go into default.hv into the dump folder and generated a rom with that cab inside..

and VOILA... now i have a custom rom with all my settings... i figured this way out after hours of frustratingly trying to edit the default.hv

hope this helps
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] qooqoo:
thank u, i have tried ur solution, but there is a big problem, .cab file doesn't support chinese caracter, so edit default.hv is the only way.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zohaer21:
dont know if this would help you but take a lot here :

www.asukal.jp/hv_rom/hive2.txt

or simply use Make_HV, found it in the development & hacking thread.

First covert the hv file to rgu (which is simply REGEDIT4 Format) then make changes and convert it back.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lvsw:
This is my little surprise :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tadzio:
You don't need a .cab for this. The program that goes through Config.txt can handle XML files with registry settings directly. So, grab any of the .xml files listed in Config.txt as a template for your own .xml file. Then just add your new .xml file plus a line in Config.txt referencing this new file, and you're all set.

There's another solution which I found much more convenient: use bepe's Rom Kitchen, and import whatever ROM you want. If I'm not mistaken, it's even available bundled with a Chinese ROM already. There you can edit the .rgu files from which the Registry will be created. This eliminates the need to read any of the .hv files. Worked very well for me! Also, since bepe's kitchen recreates the packet structure of the ROM, it's so much easier to understand which files and registry entries have a dependency or belong together. Highly recommended!

Cheers

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tripledes:
Please don't take offense, but I'm starting to think you got the ROM as it is..."protected" that's why all the customizations are done via AutoRun.exe and xml files.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] qooqoo:
i found that lvsw 0325 edition can be edit.:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] trashcan:
Yes, 0320 can't be edited. But 0325 could. But you can't use the regular tools..you have to use the "more Storage" tool, then just manually copy the "default.hv" and "user.hv" from the "dump" folder, use the regular tool and covert it to .reg. Then you make modifications to the registry file, convert it back to .hv and copy them back to the "dump" folder..you can add files by just copying files into the "dump" folder..after you are all done with it, just continue with the "more storage" tool to make your new-os.nb

Unbrick Blu Studio 5.0 II (D532u)

Hi,

My own this BLU Studio 5.0 II (D532u) that is bricked. The phone won't turn on, charge or boot system. Yet, i still can connect it to the PC. I have tried flashing Stock Roms for this model using SP Flasher with no good results.

When i try to flash a stock ROM, it returns BROM ERROR : S_DL_PMT_ERR_NO_SPACE (5069) after 19 seconds.

According to some forums, this error code (5069) in SP Flasher means "The size of a file is larger than the available / possible partition size - See more at: https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-439.html#sthash.0Bekm2lA.dpuf" and that i should try with another stock ROM.... I have tried with several stock roms, with no luck.

Yet, although it's unnecesary, i have managed to flash the Preloader from stock roms of this model with no problem.

Bottom line, things i have tried:

- Several stock roms for this model

- Flash only: EBR1, Recovery.

- Format and flash all option.

- Different versions of SP Flasher (with admin priviliges).

- Windows 7 x86/x64

PD: This model uses MT6572 chip.

PD2: I DON'T own any backup from this phone in any form.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jokesonme:
Welcome to the sad party :( We have been discussing this in the OTA update thread as well. I've never had Android even close to Screen usage before. Now it's constantly there. And sadly no root for greenify or wakelock viewing.

Android System battry drain after OTA update

I haven't read through the other forums, so forgive me if I'm suggesting something that's been suggested elsewhere, but I was able to fix mine by disabling HDVoice..

Settings>Data Usage>Mobile Data>Enhanced 4G LTE Services

After I unchecked that I'm back to where I was pre-OTA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
All of you having Android System running at high %'s, can you answer two questions?

1) When you go to Settings> General > Battery and tap on the graph, does your Awake graph show as mostly awake (solid blue lines) when the screen is off (no lines next to Screen On)?

2) Do you have an external SD card in your phone?

I'm asking because I'm also having high Android System battery drain. My phone is also always "Awake" according to the battery graph (in other words, it isn't deep sleeping, so my battery is draining faster than it should). I just removed my external SD card for a while and now my phone is magically deep sleeping. Well, obviously not using your SD card is not an option for many people... myself included... all my music is on mine! So I'm trying a few things to allow me to keep my card in and to have my phone deep sleep. I'm just wondering if there's any similarities between me and anyone else.

UPDATE:

OK, so what I did worked.

If you have an external SD card, then do this:

1) In Settings>Applications>SD Card, I moved any checked apps to internal storage.

2) I then copied all my music, photos, videos, etc to my computer.

3) Then, with the SD card in the phone, I went to Settings>Storage and formatted the SD card.

4) I then copied the files from (2) back to the card.

After that, your phone should not only sleep better, but Android System should begin to move down the battery usage list after many hours. Just over night, it went from about 38% usage to 20% usage and is now #2 on the list. Cell Standby is now #1. By the end of the day, I expect it be even lower.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] masri1987:
awake matches almost identical to screen time,

And i haven't tried the sd card one, although i've gotten a new one.

Anyone try this with success?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
It worked for me (obviously), but it wasn't exactly meant to be a solution for everyone. Eventually, Android System became the highest drainer again, but on Lollipop, it no longer is. Again, that's for me.

Try removing the card and leaving the phone asleep (screen off and not doing anything) for a few hours. If the awake time decreases dramatically, then it may be the SD card causing problems.

[Nexus 7 General] John Hagensieker:
Thanks. I need to add the section on updating the boot loader if it needs to be done.. I think an original Nexus has 4.18 and you need 4.23 to install lollipop. I remember doing this when 5.0 first came out.

Seems like a pretty good guide, if I get the chance I'll update my Sons tablet using your method to confirm the steps. Did my tablet on a Linux box and the steps are of course very similar.

I don't recall having to use the CF-Auto-root ... Just did the flash of the Factory Image, TWRP, then flashed SuperSU.zip straight from TWRP for root if my memory serves me correctly. So you _might_ be able to trim that step.

Nice to see support for things outside of Windows though, I appreciate that, keep up the good work !!

[Nexus 7 General] ptoner:
Worked well for me. Apart from getting my recently clean formatted Mac to read my Nexus 7 2012!

For those starting from absolutely scratch, you need to ensure that you install Android SDK, Java update from OSX and Java update from Oracle, first, before following these steps.

Otherwise your device will not be recognised at all.

After that though. It worked perfectly, first time and my useless, on the shelf N7 is working magnificently! Rooted and all!
