[Xperia Z3 General] 001mic:
In particular the "Superior Auto" mode of our Z3s sucks. With "Manual" it is fixable to some extend, but I feel it's a lot of work and usually you just want to point and shoot (like you can with e.g. an iPhone btw. - my previous iPhone 5s made excellent pics in no time).

So here comes a solution and it might sound surprising: Use VSCO Cam! I did not expect this at all but in my opinion it takes waaay better pics than "Superior Auto". You still can't zoom in and expect a lot of detail, but I like how they come out nevertheless. Here are some samples :

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6568643/XDA Pics/Pics.jpg

One downside of using VSCO as a default camera is that it does not save to gallery by default and there seems to be no option (yet) to change that in settings. So you have to click on the images and "export" them to gallery. On iOS you actually can change it so it saves to gallery by default - I hope they will offer that on Android soon too.
[Xperia Z3 General] kevin_23:
Nice app, thx
[Xperia Z3 General] cvsolidx17:
VSCO definitely takes better pictures in my opinion. Here's a comparison below, the top picture is the stock camera on manual mode and the one below it is VSCO with default settings.
[Moto X Q&A] JulesJam:
Those of you who own Moto X Dev Ed, if you could help me with some info from your devices it may give insight into unlocking the VZW and AT&T Moto X.

If you could, run fastboot oem get_unlock_data and let me know if the first part of the bootloader unlock data before the first # is your IMEI followed by a zero or something else. You don't need to tell me your IMEI of course, just whether or not the first part is your IMEI or your IMEI plus some number and if so, what is the last number? Is it zero?

If it is not the IMEI plus zero, is it the MEID followed by 2 zeros? Or something else?

Again, you don't need to tell me the IMEI or the MEID.

Thanks so much to all who help!!!!!!
[Moto X Q&A] imnuts:
You realize that the bootloader has already been bypassed with Sunshine right? AFAIK, it works to unlock any and all current 2013 Moto X models. And a relatively new member asking for IMEI data doesn't seem odd or suspicious at all...
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Sunshine works on 4.4.3 and below. It doesn't work on 4.4.4. Jcase said future Sunshine (3.0) wont support Moto X on 4.4.4, and I haven't seen him post that he changed his mind.

---------- Post added at 08:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 AM ----------

Developer Edition Moto X for Verizon here... it does NOT show IMEI SV. What I see looks like the 2nd picture you've attached.
[Moto X Q&A] JulesJam:
Not if you are running 4.4.4 AFAIK.

Go back and reread my post. I specifically said I don't want anyone's IMEI. I was only asking for the IMEI SV, which from what I can gather is simply the IMEI software version. It doesn't identify the device at all. My IMEI SV is 00 - I posted a screen shot of it.
[Moto X Q&A] JulesJam:
Thanks, I don't have a SIM card in my Dev Ed so maybe that is why I am seeing that. I will pop a SIM card in the dev ed and see if that changes anything.

Edited - I put an inactive SIM card in my Dev Ed and now I see the MEID, IMEI and ICCID but no IMEI SV. Thanks for your feedback!
[Moto X Q&A] JulesJam:
I have edited my OP since now I know that the issue with my Dev Ed was that I didn't have a SIM card in it.

Could you please run fastboot oem get_unlock_data and let me know if the first part of the bootloader unlock data (BUD) that is returned is your IMEI + 0 or your MEID + 00? Or something else.

Again, I am not asking you for your IMEI or MEID, just whether or not that is what the the first part of the BUD is.

The reason I am asking this is because the first part of the BUD for my retail Moto X is the MEID + 00 but for my dev ed it is IMEI + 0. And for both devices MEID + 00 is not the same as IMEI + 0 since the IMEI is one digit longer and the last digit is not zero.

I am not sure if this is significant or not but if it is consistent it may be. Now that there is a way to query the Motorola bootloader unlock code (BUC) database directly, I am trying to figure out if there is some way to get it to return the BUCs for the non-dev ed Verizon and ATT devices.

This maybe a wild goose chase but if you have the time and could run fastboot oem get_unlock_ data I would appreciate it.
[Moto X Q&A] JulesJam:
I have edited my OP to make it even more clear that I am not looking for IMEIs or MEIDs.
[Moto X Q&A] LastSilmaril:
If this is the same JulesJam as posts on SD, I'd say he's on the level
[Moto X Q&A] JulesJam:
I am but I am a woman, lol!!!!

Just trying to see if there is anything to the bootloader unlock data differences I see b/t my retail Moto X and Dev Ed Moto X. It is probably a wild goose chase, but a poster on the Droid Ultra forum said he was able to get the motorola site to return bootloader unlock codes for some Droid Ultras. None of the droid ultras should be able to be unlocked.

It is looking like the droid ultra guy got lucky and the devices' BUCs were mistakenly in the database. A dev on the DU forum put together a web app that will query the Motorola database directly and I tested it with my Dev Ed so I know the web app works to return a BUC if your device BUC is in the database.

This is the thread if you want to read it:

http://xdaforums.com/droid-ultra/general/step-step-guide-how-to-unlock-4-4-4-t3005865

I purchased a BUC for my retail Moto X from one of the Chinese code sellers last spring but now I have a Moto X 2014 and I am desperate to get it unlocked. Doesn't look like it is going to happen though.

I was hoping that more codes would be available to purchase but it look likes that well has run dry. And jcase doesn't want to work on Motorola devices anymore so I was hoping there was some way to manipulate the BUD to get the online database to return the codes. The OP in that thread above really got my hopes up, but it doesn't look like there is a way to do it though :(
[Moto X Q&A] LastSilmaril:
LOL of course you are. I was never totally sure, heh, apologies
[Moto X Q&A] Pfhortune:
Do you still need these? I can't run this against my X until I get home, but I will give you what you asked for once I can if you still need it.
[Moto X Q&A] hugh a:
i have gsm dev edt using at&t, its my imei number in the first set of numbers, but not in order its scrambled up:confused:

[Moto X Q&A] ks73417:
This Moto forum post has plenty of people posting this information with both IMEI and "getvar_all" outputs.

Should be plenty for your research, right?
[Moto X Q&A] JulesJam:
awesome, thanks!

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manolito21:
Hi, i post here my problem with my Moto G XT1032 (2013) No GPE.

I tried restoring it to 4.3 retail en.EU stock as i always do when I want to install a Custom ROM, but for my surprise that I got this

(bootloader) Motoboot: Preflash validation for tz

(bootloader) Preflash validation failed

i tried the 4.3 stock rom and the 4.4.2 but none of them works, and the 4.4.4 works. I looked the forums but all the Moto G that fails like mine are GPE backing to non stock GPE.

I did this too many times in the past to back to 4.3, i dont know why this time doesnt work. The only thing inussual i did with 4.4.4 Stock was installing XPOsed framework, is it the problem? (Im new with this app). I got the bootloader unlocked.

PLease someone can help me? Thanks

[Samsung Gear S] edouble312:
First off, the new CM for the T-Mobile note 4 developed by Slayher is simply awesome. Lollipop, stable, good battery life, and wicked fast.

It does not run gear manager however so I found a decent workaround.

First, I used an S4 I have for a spare to run gear manager, and paired the watch to it. This phone has no Sim in it, so it's strictly to stay at my house on the Wi-Fi. I setup gmail, Viber, calendar, and a few other items I like to see on the watch.

I then was trying to figure out how to get SMS and call notifications from my note 4 when I remembered an excellent app: PushBullet.

For those who don't know, pushbullet accesses your notifications and pushes them across devices and chrome on your PC. Now, there is an experimental feature which syncs notifications across all devices! Once I set it all up, I added the notifications from pushbullet to gear manager and Voila- I can see SMS and incoming calls (although I cant answer). Not a bad compromise.

In essence, the only functionality that's missing is answering phone calls and replying to SMS.
[Samsung Gear S] esseff:
Haa haa haa. . . bit like a car with the only functionality missing being the wheels and the engine!
[Samsung Gear S] edouble312:
seeing as i don't typically answer calls on my watch but do like to be notified of them, it's basically enough functionality that I don't miss TouchWiz too much.

pretty much the same with SMS... I don't typically answer from my watch but I like reading them. I didn't specify that I can forward calls to the watch if I want to leave the phone behind- it does have a SIM in it and it's own number.

Your opinion may vary from mine on what the core functionality of the Gear S would be, and that's alright. CM12 is just starting to become a great daily driver for the Note 4 and unless Samsung makes a GREAT lollipop ROM, I'm sticking with it for a while.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
The note 4 on CM doesnt run gear manager? I just install DomPop's version of lollipop on my Tmobile note 3 and then the 11 apk's for gear manager, everything is running 100%.
[Samsung Gear S] edouble312:
yea the touchwiz lollipop ROMs like that one can run it no problem, but CM has something missing that's needed. HostManager FC's when pairing and nobody's gotten any further than that.

I see over in the International N4 forum that TW Lollipop leaked for the Chinese variant, so maybe it's getting closer.

That said, I'll still be torn between how amazingly well CM12 is running and reverting to TW. Getting gear manager back would be great though.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
that blows, I did have to mess around with a few versions of gear manager before it worked, feel free to download and try it out, unzip and install in order.

right from my mediafire ---> gear manager lollipop
[Samsung Gear S] edouble312:
thanks. maybe i'll give it another whirl
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
quite a few people downloaded my gear manager package since yesterday, can anyone post any results?
[Samsung Gear S] edouble312:
No dice for me, a few apks wouldn't install.
[Samsung Gear S] tmaurice:
Still no luck getting gear manager functioning on CM rom.
[Samsung Gear S] Jazznax:
How do you enable push bullet on the gear

If you want a toy, get an iPhone. If you want a Smartphone, get an Android
[Samsung Gear S] edouble312:
Just add the notifications from pushbullet to the list of apps you get notifications from in Gear Manager settings.
[Samsung Gear S] Jazznax:
So how do you get notifications from your note 4 on cm12

If you want a toy, get an iPhone. If you want a Smartphone, get an Android
[Samsung Gear S] edouble312:
Click the option on both the cm note 4 and the touchwiz device in pushbullet which syncs notifications across devices
[Samsung Gear S] Jazznax:
So you need push bullet on the s4 and the note 4. Notifications go from the note 4 to the s4 to the gear. Correct?

If you want a toy, get an iPhone. If you want a Smartphone, get an Android
[Samsung Gear S] edouble312:
Yea. not ideal but if you wanna test run Cm12 it's the only way to use the gear s for now.

I switched back to kitkat on my note 4.
[Samsung Gear S] Jazznax:
Yeah I'll pass for now thanks anyway. I just can't carry around 2 phones

If you want a toy, get an iPhone. If you want a Smartphone, get an Android
[Samsung Gear S] edouble312:
I didn't carry 2 phones. I just left the s4 at home and used the Gear S via remote connection
[Samsung Gear S] jordant2:
If you leave your phone at home you can just use your carrier's call forwarding to forward calls to your watch. I have AT&T and I can just dial **21*Watch's Number# and it will forward calls to my watch. I don't like the auto call forward because it doesn't work sometimes.

I have three OPOs which will play Netflix just fine, and cast non-Netflix video from the phone to the TV, via Netgear P2TV dongle or strain to my Samsung TV. However, I can not find a solution to cast Netflix from the OPO to the TV! My G3 works just fine, either directly to the TV or via the NetGear. Both phones are on KK 4.4.4s

I've searched a bit for solutions about XDA and other locations, and see very little about this, and no answers. Does anyone have success casting Netflix, and if so is there something additional/different than standard casting that I need to do?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] talantyyr:
Hi!

I`m new to this scene and quite a newb. I bought my MDA Pro (as far as i know, it`s equal to the Universal) yesterday from a friend and i`ve already unlocked it.

Now i`ve stumbled across this great forum. There are many ROMS on this page, and, to tell the truth, i don`t have a clue about the whole stuff...

Could anyone be so kind and tell me, which ROM is the "best"? I would like to use a stable ROM, that`s properly working with Bluetooth (because of my GPS Mouse and BT Headset) and, of course, WLAN. And it should work a bit faster than the original ROM, if possible.

And... what`s the difference between the Mobile Windows 5 and 6? I´ve read something about issues on the Bluetooth functionality?

Edit: Currently i have the Radio 0.0.0 Rom (or something in that way) on my Universal. Do i have to update that Radio ROM thing too?

Thanks a lot for the answers

Chris
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] talantyyr:
Ok... Now i`ve tried two different FWs on my universal.

the Qtek Firmware and a FW that`s called Jasjar after i read about its benefits...

Both ROMs won`t work with my Provider... I can find some Providers like A1, T-Mobile and ONE but 3 (Hutchinson 3G or something like that) won`t show up...

Does anyone know this problem? Or can you tell me, which Custom ROM is the "best"?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
To be honest, I've tried them all, and at this point I am tired of changing. You only have 2 choices anyway, so here are my experiences:

1st: IF you are looking for an Official WM5 ROM that supports AKU2 and A2DP, stick to this 2 only, because they are the most stable and fully functional, even VIDEO CALLS:

1) QTEK ROM 1.30.77

2) TMobile NL ROM 1.30.115

2nd: IF you are looking for Cooked WM6 ROMs (ALL WITH NONFUNCTIONAL VIDEO CALLS), there are alot of them, but here are the important ones to always try:

1) Dark Force ROM

2) JWright's ROM

3) PDAViet's Modification of Dark Force ROM

4) Helmi's ROM (either his release or through the kitchen)

5) Laurentius26 ROM, cooked from Helmi's kitchen.

6) Grayme's ROM, cooked from Helmi's kitchen.

Personally, I am using the TMobile ROM. I am tired of trying ROMs. I have not enjoyed my Universal for months, because I keep looking for the perfect ROM. Guess what? It all depends on what you prefer.

As for the WM6 ROMs. I prefer PDAViet's Modified Dark Force ROM or any Dark Force ROM. Why? It lacks the FREEZE bug after a soft reset. JWright was able to address the issue, but his ROM do sometimes hang after a soft reset. But, as I said, it all depends on what you prefer.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] aniel1:
Considering above factors I too agree that for months I am not very happy with wm6 since it got out. Loads of problems, and not a single one is perfect.

So I guess I am gonna downgrade to WM5.

Since I have a Imate Jasjar it would be AKU3.3 of Jwright which was steady or if you could suggest which one.

at least I will be able to use my mac with missing sync and video call is there too.

:rolleyes:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
If you are looking for a stable JWright ROM with VIDEO CALL functions. Look for JWright's AKU 3.2 ROM. It has 31MB free Main Memory after soft reset, but the problem is: IT IS NOT GOOD IN MEMORY HANDLING after you install apps. I could not pinpoint a specific app, because I tried installing different apps after a hard reset, and I always ended up with a memory leak. You can try, you might be lucky and not have the memory leak.

Jwright did not release a WM5 AKU3.3 only AKU3.2.....Look at the very end of his thread, I posted a link for all to download.

=======
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] aniel1:
Thanks. Which was the best aku3.3 and idea.Do you have a link to Helmi's 3.3 or 3.5 Aku. I will surely go to the end of the thread you indicated.:)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Sorry, I have no link for Helmi's 3.3 nor 3.5. I believe I preferred Helmi's 3.3 than 3.5 better. I could not remember as that was about 6 months ago already. I am definitely sure I did not like his 3.5 release though.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] talantyyr:
Thanks for the answers! :)

@aniel1: Here`s the Link for Helmis 3.5.

http://rapidshare.com/files/6981008/Helmi_UNI_AKU3.5_v1.3.rar

@cktlcmd: I guess the JWright ROM wouldn`t be the best choice for me. If it`s true, what you say about the memoryhandling. I want to use TOMTOM with the Universal, so i can finally get rid of my old PDA.

Oh, and you recommend the danish T-Mobile ROM.. Which language is used for this rom? Could be a problem since I only speak english and german :) I`ve already tried the austrian (original) T-Mobile ROM (Yes, I´m from Austria ^^) which hasn`t worked with my Provider too. But the Colors of this ROM are disgusting and the ROM is only AKU 2.0. (It`s working well, but the speed is quite moderate without any tweaks)

It`s sad, that you are discontent with your Universal. All in all it looks quite formidable to me. If there wasn`t the problem with my Provider. I`ve called the hotline today, and they told me, that it may have something to do with the UMTS functionality of my SIMCard. Tommorow I`ll go to the ProviderShop and change the SIMCard. I hope this will work.

P.S.: Could you tell me the difference between the RadioRoms? There are so many of them. Are they country related or are they all (essentialy) the same?
