[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] oldman3:
Can I flash this? Since I got it rooted, s off and super CIDed (with "11111111")

Hi, I use Tmobile on a verizon m8 factory unlocked, rooted and s offed thru Sunshie before I flashed ARHD 22.1 and soft bricked it. Restored back to verizon stock (still rooted and s off, Sunshine is awesome).

Then I decided to super CID it to "11111111"

Questions:

1) What could be the reason I bricked it--no super CID or the ROM simply, for some reason, wasn't compatible with my device?

2) (kind of a follow up question)Now that I super CIDed it, do I have a much better chance ARHD won't brick it? And also am I ready to flash this Rom here (t-moble stock rooted right?)?

3)I use both rom installer and flashify on my phone and I flashed a newer twrp under flashify than the twrp I flashed under rom installer (which I didn't realize). When I tried to enter recovery to create backup it's stuck on "entering recovery" screen until I suspected the reason mentioned above and flashed the older version again under rom installer that I was able to use twrp again...

My question: Is it better to use only one of these two apps?

Hi guys, I don't know if this is the right place, but I have a question.. I want to build my own version of a rom from a dev github (purity rom). I read some guides but things aren't clear for me.. Can you point me to the right direction? What software do I need and so on.. I saw some people using kitchen, some using architekt, some using Linux and some Windows so a little help is needed.. What I want to do is download the rom from github, change some things like wallpapers, sounds and some apps and then rebuild, no crazy stuff.. Thanks in advance for your help!

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sherpa:
So far, I have tried Apex, Google Now, Nova, and Smart Launcher 2; however, none of these are as smooth as the built-in TouchWiz Home. I like to keep my homescreen simple with a nice wallpaper and four mostly used app icons at the bottom. What I hate about TouchWiz Home is that it puts that ugly page indicator right in the middle even if you just have one page. Since I'm not rooted (AT&T), there is no way to get rid of it. So, are there any launcher that is very lightweight and fast?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bat0nas:
Heh... this is the first guy who says tw is smoother than nova or apex :) :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjparker:
I have Apex, Nova, ADC, and have tried a bunch of others. Experienced using them on my ASUS tablet so they aren't new to me. I'm still using TW on my Note4 because I don't want to lose functionality of some stuff, most notably s-pen. Oh... and paid versions of all of those if there is a paid version. I guess I'm not after something that people will envy when they see it. I just want to learn to use all the stuff my new phone can do! heheheh.... coming from a moto Razr. I tried Themer and I really like the concept, but it was a bit overwhelming. Maybe I just need to spend time with it. My s-pen still worked but I didn't explore what DIDN'T work, so... *shrug* .... still on TW.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sherpa:
Trust me...after disabling bunch of craps on my Note 4, TW launcher actually has been very smooth for me.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bat0nas:
Correct me if I'm wrong but you loose nothing with nova. S-pen works perfectly there. I didn't find any differences.

How about lightning launcher. The only problem I have with it is the app drawer can be a bit slow to launch. Otherwise, as the name suggests, lightning fast and ultra customisable!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolembo:
Nova
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zurkx:
stock touchwiz is the best. nova was super laggy when i tried it. stock touchwiz has no lag once you switch animations/transitions etc off in developer options.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabi11:
I always used Nova on my previous devices (s2, s4).

For now on my note 4, I'm still on TW...

There were some reports here on xda that TW gives the best battery life... [emoji15]
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BUFUMAN:
Nova.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flash608:
Since SGS2 through SGS4 and N4 now i`m using Go Launcher EX and it`s the best, the most featured, most customizable launcher in my opinion and btw i don`t have any regrets for speed/lags.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bat0nas:
then I choose customizability and functionality over the few % of battery life.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Howie Dub:
Nova. Have never experienced lag. Maybe it's because I have Aggressive Desktop selected. S-Pen works fine with it, too. Didn't really give TW a shot because I love the gesture control and infinite scrolling on Nova. I swipe up to open my house alarm app and double tap to turn off the screen. Also, holding the Recents button brings up a sub menu that links to Nova settings, system settings and app list, rather than just settings for the launcher. And just a theory, but I think "OK Google" hotword detection with the screen off works better with Nova.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koppee1:
I've usually stuck with Nova, but find myself using TW for the Note 4. I've purchased Nova and Apex. For fast light launcher, use Hola. It's still installed on my Note 4 while Nova got the boot already :p
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinghu:
Whilst I'm another Nova fan, and TW this time is pretty decent, I'm a converted Dodol user. Very fast and light (85mb for two screens) even with themes and gestures and many other customisation options. Also has some nice built in widgets.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
For light use smart launcher is the pinnacle of light, and remarkably easy to use, however using the GEL has to be my favourite, different strokes for different folks though. Used apex and nova for years, have both pro versions, apex for me is the better of the two. I also have the spb shell 3D, quite heavy, loads of eye candy, also very expensive and hasn't had an update in years. So much potential though.

If you decide to install cm12 then launcher 3 with lollipop is fantastic, I wouldn't swap it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbvnz:
I originally tried Themer with my HTC One and also thought it was overwhelming. But really just don't like TW so I tried it again and spent a weekend setting it up. Wow! I love it. I easily customized a theme, and lag is minimal. It has gesture control and I've completely eliminated the bottom bar as I use Swapps sidebar. All Spen functions are working.

[Micromax A110] MasterAwesome:
Firstly, A huge thank you..

Although this seems as tempting as can be I don't own the device and can't really debug it. My ISP is pretty bad and cant upload a lot so I don't think it would be feasible; I'll make just an initial build by the end of this week and if it boots, then we can continue the work or else its more or less a lost cause.

go to \Windows folder and look for these:

Short_AP1.lnk = Explorer

Short_AP3.lnk = Player

open then with a text editor and change the targeted apps.

Go to this place:

http://www.surrealnetworks.com/mpx/SDAapps.htm

Find the file called "tcpmp hot keys". It is a cab file w/ some xml file there that reassigns those keys to TCPMP, but the xml can be modified to point them at whatever you want.

Short_AP1.lnk for Contacts button (sp5) or Internet button (sp5m)
Short_AP2.lnk for Messages button (sp5) or Previous button (sp5)
Short_AP3.lnk for Play button (sp5m only)
Short_AP4.lnk for Next button (sp5m only)
Long_Home.lnk for long press Home key
Long_VolDown.lnk for long press Volume Down key (VolUp not supported on WM6 - don't know if supported on WM6.1)
Short_Camera.lnk for short press Camera button
Long_Camera.lnk for long press Camera button
Long_POC.lnk for long press Communication Manager button
Just change those shortcut files (located in \Windows) to point to your desired applications.

1) copy to storage

2) Edit them

3) copy back to replace :D

Is it possible to get back from 5.0.1 GPE to 4.4.4 GPE and then from 4.4.4 GPE back to Retail 4.4.4?

I have Lollipop now, but I think its not so stable like KitKat, it has many compatibility problems with some App and so I decide to go back to Retail, because I don't really like the GPE Version of the Moto G, some APPs are not included and I think I miss the "old" KitKat.

Finally a way to track steps with any android wear watch and have it automatically log into My Fitness Pal!

Follow the directions below originally taken from this link: http://steamoctane.com/2015/01/use-android-wear-smart-watch-myfitnesspal-calorie-counting/

Please check pics for reference

Intro

Android Wear is becoming one of the most popular wearable’s out in the market right now, and what some people miss about these devices is that they can double as a fitness band and step counter and some even have heart rate monitoring capabilities. Now you wont get much out of this detail with Google Fit until the app is more robust, so in this guide we are going to recommend another app to help with your fitness goals; MyFitnessPal…

MyFitnessPal

MyFitnessPal is in our opinion the most robust app in the app market for loosing weight. This app is cross compatible to almost every mobile OS, it is 100% FREE, comes with a stellar food database, and is loaded with features. We recommend you try it, or chances are you are already using it. Sign up for free at http://www.myfitnesspal.com, and download the app from your respective marketplace.

Android Wear

The following tutorial is for android wear smart watches. If you are in the market for one, we recommend the below as they have all the features required, and are the bests one on the market now.

What you need (Hardware)

You will need the following equipment to complete this guide.

Android Smart Watch

Android Smart Phone running 4.4+

Software you need

Up by Jawbone (not Up24)

MyFitnessPal

Instructions

If you haven’t already download the Up from Jawbone app from google play, while your there you might as well download MyFitnessPal if you don’t already have it.

Open the Up app and signup with Jawbone then sign in if needed.

Tap the menu button in the top left corner (The three lines). Then tap settings and finally tap Application Preferences.

Make sure phone motion sensor is turned on.

Go home and tap the watch icon on the top right. Your watch should be connected to the app, if not check that your smartwatch is paired with your phone, turned on and is in range, then restart the app.

Go to the MyFitnessPal app.

Click the menu button, scroll down and tap settings. Then Click Steps.

Tap add a device then choose Jawbone UP.

Click Connect, then sign in if it asks and click allow.

Your done!

Now your smartwatch will report steps to the UP app, which in turn will send the data to MyFitnessPal and log your calories burned.

Keep in mind it may take 24 hours for your steps to start showing up in the myfitnesspal app after performing the above steps.
[Wear OS General] lostindark:
Hi, After my installation i see that i lost information to google fit.. google fit doesn't travk your steps any more. Also i think that Jawbone Up doesn;t track your steps correctly. My watch in fitness watcxh screen shows 868 steps but at the Jawbone up i see doble 17xx...

Can you shere your experience?

P.P. Google Fit start working with steps showed on the fitness watch face.

Steps in jaw bone and Google fit seems to be working fine for me. Let it sit for a few days and see what happens
[XDA Assist] ShensMobile:
Hi guys,

So I've always loved flashing ROMs on my phones and tinkering, but I've never really understood how to do it all. I figured I should learn and try to give back to the community, considering the amount of time I spend on here.

I've followed the steps on source.android.com for initializing my build environment. I'm done syncing with the repo, but I can't find a thorough guide on what to do next. I can't use the breakfast command because my phone is not an official device. In the "Building for devices" section, it states that I need to obtain proprietary drivers for my device, but I'm not sure any manufacturers will give away their proprietary drivers :P

I'm looking to do all this for my Moto X 2013. So my question is, how does CyanogenMod have (some) proprietary drivers for my phone, and would it be possible for me to pull from CM's repo for those drivers? Is there a better forum for me to ask these questions?

If anyone has an idea of where I should look next to do some more research, I'd really appreciate the help!
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Hi,

This section has many guides and tutorials. Please do your research and try your hand at it. After you read read read, if you still need help, ask in the thread of the guide you use, or create your own thread and ask for help...

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDinner:
Hello, first time poster here! :D

I bought Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160 and I want to flash CM 11 on it, because the stock Samsung's ROM is very bloated and slow.

I am looking at CM 11 from NovaFusion, which can be found novafusion.pl website.

I have currently downloaded:

cm11.0_codina.nova.20141215.zip

pa_gapps-modular-pico-4.4.4-20150106-signed.zip

I chose pico gapps because I want as less bloat as possible (only actually need Play Store).

The problem is, I don't know what to do next... :confused:

Now, I have a few questions:

Can I just flash CM trough the stock/default recovery mode that is already on the phone?

Can I use Odin to flash CM? If so, where is a trusted Odin download?

How do I restore the stock ROM that came with the phone if something goes (terribly :silly:) wrong?

Is it possible to reset flash counter and any other traces of root & custom ROMs on this phone in case I want to return it to warranty?

I added the "About device" info in the attachment! :)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyxeL:
1. flash it trough cwm temporary

2. no, you can't. novafusion didn't release Odin package for codina now.

3. backup your stockrom using cwm temporary

4. flashing rom trough cwm not increase flash counter
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDinner:
Thanks a lot for responding! :D

Can you link me to CWM for this phone?

Also, how does the "temporary" mode work? Does it load up recovery from the microSD card? Just curious. :)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nieon.:
1. Well, I think the stock recovery doesn't allow you to install zip from sdcard. That's why we use CWM instead (plus it does more things than stock recovery). I recommend CWM :)

2. No, Custom ROM should be flashed through CWM, I think...

3. You can backup your current ROM (includes apps installed) through CWM and if something goes wrong, you can easily restore it from CWM again. BUT, if somehow you can't get to CWM, you can use ODIN to flash stock ROM and your phone should be back to its original state ;)

4. Yup, it can be done from CWM or ODIN.. same method as in my 3rd answer :)

PS. I only gave answers to stuff I've done before.. basically, my answers are based on self-experience ;) hope it helps!

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

Mm.. from what I remember... Temporary CWM will not replace your stock recovery, and you will need to flash the CWM everytime you want to get into CWM Recovery .-.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadow252:
Here : Temporary CWM. ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDinner:
Thank you everyone, I got CM 11 working easy and nice! :D :good:

Also, looks like the NovaFusion CM 11 ROM did something to the recovery, now it always boots to CWM even without a microSD card. :confused:

Does that mean that I can't get back to old recovery? Can I just flash stock ROM and get it back? :confused:

P. S. everything is so damn fast and smooth compared to stock ROM!!! :eek: :eek:
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadow252:
Yes, Custom ROMs like CM 11 have CWM Recovery or TWRP instead of Stock Recovery because they have functions such as backup your system and more. If you really want to have Stock Recovery then you have to flash Stock ROM using Odin.

Right. Probably that's why most of the people here use Custom ROMs. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Core.] StratOS_HTC:
It will be extremly hard, just because of the libs.

If you tried to instaled some players the apk won't install just because of the package regerences.

Hint :

Put the apk you wish to test in system/app, change chmod to 644 and then try to run it.

Hope for the best .... Won't be so easy to ... port is the best possible way i think.
