I had Xperia S and U, and I can confirm that this mod worked in Jellybean and KitKat. I don't think it has to do with android version, I think Xperias had different partition structure, if we modify the app to match G2 partitions, it might work.

[Samsung Gear VR] Ahmedmoataz:
i am looking to buy note 4.......it's a great phone and there is the Gear VR!!

but......

i live in egypt and the options that i have are SM-N910C and SM-N910S

which one should i get ,and would i be able to use the Gear VR (gonna buy it from the US) because i heard about problems using Gear VR outside the US and i heard that works better with Snapdragon at the moment...

i really want to buy it so if anyone can help me deside plz...!!
[Samsung Gear VR] Domen Lo:
If the price is identical you should opt for the 910S variant, since that will exhibit zero glitches. I own the 910C variant and almost all of the apps work flawlessly except for a few graphics issues (which you easily fix by going into menu then returning, so its not a processor thing but rather a bug in their software). But straight out of the box the 910S is probably the better option for you.
[Samsung Gear VR] Ahmedmoataz:
Thanks for ur reply my friend

The price difference is about 30$ which isn't that big.....,but I saw benchmark tests and the exynos kicked Snapdragon's butt almost in every test (the snapdragon was superior in graphics tests though)

The important question now is where do u live my friend??!! Because I heard about regional lock and I'm afraid that neither one of them will work here in Egypt (due to the lock)
[Samsung Gear VR] Domen Lo:
Gear VR has no such locks in place (though they probably will start adding them once the pay store arrives). Nk4 firmware and up and it should support gear.

If you're referring to cell phone operator lock, thats a different thing, depends on what you purchase and where (here its illegal to operator-lock phones). You should consult with your carrier if its compatible.

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

Quick browse through some sites shows that egypt is selling 910c, so that should be good to go. 910s probably warrants a chat with some tech support guys on your carrier.
[Samsung Gear VR] Ahmedmoataz:
I was taking about oculus store regional lock

http://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/2nx8m6/hands_on_review_gear_vr_oculus_store_is_region/

Thanks a lot for our replies cos I really needed that help
[Samsung Gear VR] Domen Lo:
Interesting. I would figure that the cleoag patch also "solves" this little issue since I did not experience any region locking at all on 910C. As I said before, exynos works - coldplay and matterport are nonworking, everything else runs smoothly.
[Samsung Gear VR] Ahmedmoataz:
Thanks bro!!

I will get 910C variant and order the Gear VR....
[Samsung Gear VR] Magnesus:
To be honest I would wait with VR for something with higher resolution. I've just received Gear VR and the resolution is really bad, pixels are clearily visible. :) Apart from that it's a great toy.
[Samsung Gear VR] darekz:
Rumour says that Note 9 and Gear VR 5 MAX Space Edition will do miracles. You could wait if you have enough patience. Rest of us enjoying current latest and greatest. :D
[Samsung Gear VR] Magnesus:
The problem is for me it is not enjoyment, which is why I think it's best to try it first before buying (unless the price is nothing for you). :) It is painful for me to use because of the screen effect. No disrespect meant, just my opinion.
[Samsung Gear VR] Bruce lee roy:
Screen effect may not be the problem... at least wasn't for me. Thanks to advice found here, my experience improved dramatically after 1. replacing the cushion that it came with, with one in box and 2. Paying closer attention to how gear sat in my head (should be at slight angle). Once I found sweet spot, it made world of difference.
[Samsung Gear VR] darekz:
Even with 4k display you probably would see pixels. Magnification is so great that in current technology is no way to eliminate screen door effect. Once you find that sweet spot experience is pure enjoyment.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] summit15:
When I am in my car and the phone is connected to bluetooth and I get a text, the phone notifies me and the screen says "say Listen". I can say listen all day long and nothing happens. In someone else's car, it works beautifully. I guess there is something to do with the bluetooth connection or settings? Everything else seems to work... streaming, phone calls, etc. IN the bluetooth settings on my phone I have all three boxes checked. Thanks for any help.

[XDA Assist] crytoy:
Hi there,

In my attempt to find new and unconventional ways of reducing the battery consumption of an android phone, noticing that the biggest consumer of battery is the Screen Display, I am looking for a way to reduce and decrease the bits per pixel for the display, such that changing it from 32bit to 16bit or 8bit color display output.

The closest that I got is by exploring "/sys/class/graphics/fb0/bits_per_pixel" but sadly it only contained empty files.

Can anyone help me reduce the display output to lower 16 or 8 bit.

Thank You

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilsHTC:
Hi All

My name is Phil and I'm new to HTC phones so I apologise in advance.

I wonder if anyone out there can help me, I'm trying to just unbrand my unlocked Vodafone UK HTC One M8 which is currently on KK 4.4.4. What I would like to achieve is an unbranded phone as if I had purchased it unlocked from HTC with the warranty in tact that will accept OTA's so I'll get lollipop.

I understand I will most probably have to unlock the bootloader, root, S-off etc but what I'm a little unsure about is, can I get an official stock rom complete with sense 6 installed on the phone and then lock it all back up for warranty (ie in fastboot it states locked, original software, s-on etc etc)

I have read many threads and watched youtube videos that seem to show that it can be done but I would like to check with you guys before I start.

If this is possible, which method would you recommend as there seems to a few different methods.

Also is Sunshine the only s-off method now?

Again I'm sorry but I've come from a Sony xperia phone which unbranding was really easy to achieve without rooting

Thank you in advance

Phil
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isx:
I take it you took advantage of the recent deal too. Anyone would be crazy not too at that price.

At the moment it seems that the Vodafone m8s can't be s-off'd so we have to wait for root ninja to release sunshine v3 which will work. It doest seem to far off.

Once you have s-off you can change your CID and flash the generic firmware and Rom. We just have to play the waiting game now.

I think sunshine does reset the flags for you, but I'm not sure on that. Oh and don't s-on again unless you absolutely have to send the phone in for service.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilsHTC:
Thanks isx for your reply

I did indeed get it while it was on offer

Any ideas on the lead time of sunshine V3?

I have lollipop on my Galaxy S5 and keen to get on the HTC too

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BluTheCool:
Hello

I'm trying to connect my Samsung GT N8000 tablet (Gnabo Rom 4.2) to the internet via an Ethernet cable and an OTG cable. In the Version of the ROM I have there is clearly an option for Ethernet available in the connectivity tab, but its always greyed out. I'm using a KY-RD9700 Ethernet to USB 2.0 connector and a Samsung OTG cable. The OTG cable works normally with other devices but its not recognizing the ethernet at all. Assisting apps such as Ethernet on the play store do not help. I understand this is most likely a kernel issue, but since ethernet is already being shown in the connectivity tab, I'm not sure. If that could be the issue, is there any KitKat compatible ethernet eth0 supported kernels for the Gt N8000? I'm having trouble finding one as they made the newer Note 10.1 which pretty much screwed people having the old one. Any solution of workaround will be greatly appreciated.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RJacobz:
Hi All,

I am new to the forum and new to rooting. I did loads of reading and thought that I would give rooting a go on my Sony Xperia Z Ultra. After rooting, and doing dual boot install I downloaded Dirty Unicorns 4.4.4 and Gapps. Booted into recovery and flashed the two zip files. After booting up the rom, it keeps crashing and giving a systemui fail / crash message. So I cannot do anything with the rom because the message comes up a second after I close it.

Not only that, there is now no custom recovery on my phone. Has anyone else been in this situation or can anyone please let me know what I can do to either flash a custom recovery?

I have also tried connecting my phone to the Flashtool to flash the stock rom, however as soon as I connect my phone to my pc it boots the system up and doesnt allow me to go into flash / fastboot mode.

Please help!

Thanks,

RJ

Recovery should be included in the ROM (I've not flashed it though to test)

press the vol. up key just after booting when the LED turns purple should do the trick.

Do you want to load another custom ROM [1] or go back to Stock Sony [2]?

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
Doing stuff for free doesn't get a lot of love on here :)

Just have some fun.

Your animation is a full 1080p. That's a little adventurous for the N5. My recommendation is 720p (720x1280, or 720x720), and scale it via the desc.txt. Full 1080p bootanimations tend to stutter or even lock up the N5.

For the N5 bootanimations, my max "portrait" frame size is 720x1280; for "landscape", it's 1080x720. A 1080x1080 frame will still lock-up a N5.

Another issue is that the details are too tiny to be visible on a 5" display. If you crop 720x1280 (or even 540x960) -- centered -- frames from your originals, then scale to 1080x1920 via the desc.txt, there will be more clarity and the animation will make more sense.

As a creature of habit, I would crop the frames to 540x960, scale them to 720x1280, and leave the desc.txt alone.

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmc23:
Hello guys.

I've been trying to do this on my LG Optimus L5 II E451g and it doesn't work. I can do the NORMAL FLASH but it didn't fix my problem so I want to do the CSE FLASH (to do a clean install). But I can't do that one.

Everything goes fine until the third step: "Wait until software extraction is complete..." then after a few seconds it crashes "LGUserCSTool LG Mobile has stopped working". :(

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate SP1.

I tried different drivers, the old method with the host file automated (says the phone is not connected but it is), LG Update Tool 2014 and KDZ Update but nothing works. This error says the module with trouble is "msvcr100.dll". KDZ file is in the software folder, Windows recognizes the phone when I conect it to enter Download Mode, I installed every Visual C++ package I found, everything seems fine but it doesn't perform the CSE FLASH. It does the NORMAL FLASH so the KDZ is fine.

I'm sick of this. I don't want to buy a new phone. Anybody has any idea???

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Olipro:
OK, the LVSW ROM was deliberately built with the faulty tadzio toolchain in order to prevent people editing it, and I'm pretty sure this is also the reason it's causing issues with the new SPLs... therefore, I can only suggest everyone avoid LVSWs releases till he uses the new toolchain.

jasjamming's ROMs are a good alternative and are recommended.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Penske MB:
Good info!!

Somehow LVSW's edition runs SPB without an issue. I like SPB Pocket Plus, weather and Shell, but it wont run smooth under Black edition.... Hope the next release improves...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] akarandomjames:
Hmm that sounds kinda messed up...

I like both ROMs...honestly I just want a "clean" ROM where I can add all my stuff...

Black is nice but I think its loaded with too much stuff I don't use...like vjtools and such (tho they are nice, it sure makes a mess out of my programs screen).

I'm just waiting for 2.0 so I can use Live Messenger again ^_^

Just my 2 cents
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] trashcan:
The 0326 LVSW edition can be edited with no problem. I use 0326 LVSW as a based and cooked a few roms and flashed/booted with no problems.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Cuivienor:
@akarandomjames

Yeah I agree... Right now I'm using LVSW because it's the cleanest I can get: only the useful hacks have been done (especially the last version), no adding useless programs. I tried 3DES yesterday as well but definitely too many programs there. The BIG problem I have with LVSW is that I can't find IP telephony, which is and should remain a part of WM6.

But I agree, what I would love is a ROM that has the problems and bugs of WM6 worked out (like LVSW), so that I don't need to touch the registry (actually I do, but that's only because I'm adding Japanese input and removing the others) or install any hacks. AND this ROM should keep the features of basic WM6 (IP telephony, like Black or 3DES). AND this ROM shouldn't add any programs! I mean whenever I install Linux on my computer, I choose what programs I want. I don't want to get programs which I can't even erase!

This sounds like a lot of complaining, and I'm sorry it does, but I think it's more of a critic that these cooked ROMs are getting already too bloated. It's a typical Geek/Engineer problem to want to add as many features as possible in one package... But let people choose by letting them install the programs they really want.

I'm sure the answer could be "cook your own ROM"! And I guess I will. But right now I don't have time... just starting to work, moving to Japan in 10 days, etc. busy busy... And I respect, admire, and love the work the ROM cookers are doing. You're incredible, guys!

Yannick
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TwoPlus1:
As I understand it and please correct me if I'm wrong (will help me avoid a blind alley) The basic WM6 OS with HTC drivers and apps could be included in the main rom and then all the fancy bits that we may or may not need/want included in the extended rom. Then those who don't want it need not install it and either can install the bits they do want the hard way or if they feel brave can cook there own extended rom so hard resets only need a quick resync...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gerald_s:
Disagree.

I'm using LVSW since some days without any problems and as far as I remember the white screen is also reported with jasjamming's black edition, for instance here:
