[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nola mike:
In order to receive real time Google Voice phone calls, I need to maintain an active internet connection. Everything I've read suggests that Wi-Fi is the most power efficient way to do this. However, my idle power consumption when using Wi-Fi is 2% per hour, vs 0.8% per hour on 2g (0.4%/hr when mobile data is off). Does anyone else have similar results, or is there something wrong with my set up?
[XDA Assist] four2188:
Hello there! I'm new here, lot of experience doing bench-tech repairs, phones, computers, laptops, consoles, web development and graphic design. But 0 experience rooting android and installing custom recovery. I am here because I have a Galaxy Tab 4 (SM-T230NU) that is locked with a pass-code that I don't know. I could do a factory reset but I don't want to lose data. I read another post about flashing a zip file through recovery might help me remove the pass-code. However this device is completely stock, not rooted, no usb debugging, and no custom recovery.

So my question is, can i install ClockworkMod on Galaxy Tab 4 (SM-T230NU) without losing any data? I really only want it so I can remove the pass-code, if there is data loss I may be better off doing a factory reset. (please note, it is not backed or synched to a google account)

Any pointers in the right direction will be most helpful. Thank you XDA!

I have a moto x xt1053 that i can't open the Boot loader on Motorola web page, coz is not allowed for my device as Motorola support said to me, coz is not a dev edition.

I want to install CM11 or later, it is possible without opening the Boot loader?

TIA
[Moto X Q&A] Travisdroidx2:
What is your current android version? Have you looked at unlocking via sunshine?
[Moto X Q&A] iSplassh:
Im on 4.4.4, i tried sunshine, and wrote with the supporter of sunshine and they told me they cant unlock it...
[Moto X Q&A] Travisdroidx2:
Sucks man sounds like you are screwed.
[Moto X Q&A] fury683:
What carrier was it originally associated with? The XT1053 was used for T-Mobile in the US and was unlockable. I believe XT1053 was also used for the Dev Edition for AT&T in the US, while their retail edition was XT1058.

My friend has an XT1053 for T-Mobile that was not a developer edition, it was customized with Moto Maker and I unlocked it for him from the Motorola website.

Are you sure you have an XT1053?
[Moto X Q&A] iSplassh:
Thats the same phone like your friend. My friend bought it online on the moto maker home page.

Well my friend tried many times but without success...

Can you give me some advice... [MENTION=3351823]fury683[/MENTION] TIA
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
If it's Tmobile, keep trying the Moto unlock site. It is very glitch send can take many tries. ?
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
The non-Developer Edition XT1053 was also bootloader Unlockable via Moto's web site but it voids the warranty.

If your XT1053 is the "GSM Unlocked (ships with T-Mobile SIM)" or "GSM unlocked (ships with Net 10 SIM)" it should still be bootloader unlockable via Moto's web site.

A few things...

Try a different browser. If you are using Chome, try IE instead, or vice versa.

Take the output from the get_unlock_data command, and paste it into NOTEPAD (if you use windows) on your PC... Turn Word Wrap OFF. Edit out the spaces and any carriage returns so the string is one single line, and then copy the edited string to the clip board to paste into the web site.

If the phone is less than a week old, keep trying. There have been issues/delays with the codes being available on the Moto web site.

Try signing into the Moto site using the original email address used to purchase the phone (i.e. your friend purchased, then have your friend use his/her email to try requesting the code)

Call Moto's support. If they refuse to help, or tell you that you can't unlock your bootloader, point them to -> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/87215 which says the T-Mobile X (XT1053) CAN be bootloader unlocked (but voids the warranty).

Take a look at this thread in the Peer to Peer Moto Owners forum -> https://forums.motorola.com/posts/f2061da875
[Moto X Q&A] iSplassh:
Thanks for your time.

I checked the peer to peer forum but my CID is different, its not on the list. Mine is 0x09.

I already contacted 2 different moto customer support, i gave them the IMEI code and they told me its not unlockable, because its not dev edition. The also said the unlockable boot loader program is only for dev edition.

Xda was my last hope because the official way didn't brought me anyway further.

Sorry for my bad english, and hope you guys have still some tips for me
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
0x0009 is on the list in the Owners forum (0x0009 = 0x09) as being UNLOCKABLE (is in the list on the left). The list on the left says "Your device is unlockable if the CID value returned is" and 0x09 is under that headding.

ANd the reps told you WRONG. Their web site lists Rogers Canada, they use the XT1058. For USA it lists Sprint (which is XT1056), USC (is XT1055 i think), and TMO (is definitely XT1053 but not considered Dev Edition).

There are only TWO Developer Editions... GSM and "for Verizon". Verizon is an XT1060. There is NO Dev Edition for Sprint, USC, Rogers Canada, or Latin America, yet those are listed on -> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/87215 as being UNLOCKABLE.

Please follow the instructions on the Moto Owners Forum. Do the steps and post the info. See what they say.
[Moto X Q&A] iSplassh:
Finally we unlocked it. It took us some time chatting with moto supporters till 2AM in the morning but we did it.

Thanks a lot guys :D
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Awesome. Glad to hear it!
[Moto X Q&A] iSplassh:
Sorry to bother you again ;) but do you have any tips on how to root it now. The phone its on 4.4.4. Can i just use CF-Autoroot or do i have to downgrade to 4.4.2? I have read that downgrading brings to Precam brick...

What do you recomand me?

TIA
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
1. Download the latest SuperSU.zip onto the phone or computer

2. download a recovery onto a computer

3. Flash the recovery in bootloader using fastboot

4. Boot into recovery using the Vol+ button to select option

5. If SuperSU.zip was downloaded to computer, use adb to push the zip file to /sdcard flash SuperSu.zip. If not, skip to step 6.

6. Flash SuperSU.zip in recovery

7. Reboot into system

Remember what having an unlocked bootloader allows you to do, this process isn't much different from any other device with an unlocked bootloader. Why would you do anything other than the steps I listed above with an unlocked bootloader? Read up on what downgrading can and will do to our phone.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
You have to keep in mind there are some old threads for those with LOCKED bootloaders who want to root which will not apply to you. Some of those OLDER processes recomend downgrading, BUT that was only safe during the SlapMyMoto process (downgrading from 4.4 to 4.2.2 w/camera due to NOT CHANGE in the bootloader and gpt.bin). Once 4.4.2, 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 is on your phone, DOWNGRADING IS NOT SAFE!!! AND NOT RECOMMENDED!!!! due to the high rate of bricks it has caused.

After unlocking your bootloader, the best way to root is to see -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/moto-x-...-unlocking-t2649738/post54796193#post54796193

Hello,

Are there currently any 5.0 or higher roms that enable you to remap the on screen buttons? i cant stand the back button on the left.

Thanks!

i
[Verizon LG G3] rp201:
The feature missing from android(or at least not utilized) is a system global way to have an application interface as left handed or right handed. Its nice that the maps app. Or inbox puts buttons on the lower right...glad I'm not left handed for those apps. Would be nice to see developers rebuild their apps with this in mind.

Sent from my VS985 4G
[Verizon LG G3] anonymously:
I think illusion, vanir, bliss and maybe one or two others offer it. I know Candy5 does. This has been my dd for a few weeks now. Allows you to remap the buttons as well as add double tap and long press actions. I prefer candy5 because the others didn't offer screenshot as an option for the action.
[Verizon LG G3] freshmh18968:
You can't remap the order of the buttons though I've been wanting the same thing I usually have the back button on the right side instead of left side ,but as far as I know it can't be done from the stock settings any lp roms come with .
[Verizon LG G3] luke1987:
Anonymously is correct...with vanir you can even remap quick settings now

[Verizon LG G3] PiousInquisitor:
Decompile your SystemUI.apk

Replace the navigation_bar.xml with the one attached to this post. Be sure to remove the .txt extension.

Recompile your SystemUI.apk as SystemUInew.apk

Open both SystemUIs as archives and move the META-INF folder, resources.arsc, and AndroidManafest.xml into the SystemUInew.apk.

Close both apks.

Rename the old to SystemUIold.apk and the new to SystemUI.apk

Move the new apk to /system/priv-app/SystemUI overwriting the existing apk.

Change the permissions of the new apk to RW-R--R--, before restarting if possible if not after rebooting. You may have a SystemUI fc, just force a reboot by pulling the battery or holding the power button.

You could make a flashable zip but that is something you'll have to learn on your own time.

If you are really lazy upload your framework-res.apk and your SystemUI.apk and ill make you a flashable zip.
[Verizon LG G3] fizeke136:
Awesome. Thanks so much for this. I've never done it before so I think I'll take a stab at it myself...nice little mini project to learn something new. I think its always goo to have some sort of understanding of what you do to your phone in case something goes wrong or if you need to do it again. Say on a different phone or something...Thanks again! :good:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldubs:
I'm running Screw'd with PA Gapps beta 01/11 version, with DPI changed to 346. Maps FC's about 2 secs after I open it. I think it might have been working on stock DPI. I've run many different ROMs with reduced DPI and Maps works just fine. Waze works fine so I know it's not a GPS issue.

Anyone seen this and know how to fix? I hate the stock DPI setting, it's way too large and I also like to have 6 icons in my menu bar at the bottom of the GEL home screen.

Try xposed and app settings module. You can change dpi per app. Change whatever you want to and just leave Maps on stock dpi.

I don't mind buying apps. I buy way too many on multiple platforms. But I wouldn't pay any carrier a monthly charge for a navigation app when Google and others offer great apps for my device.

update 4-10-2007

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] computer9cowboy:
ok you can do this but not in the exact way you specified.

The way i did it is to take the rom that has the splash screens in it and dump it, I used Molski.biz rom tools, I won't go into detail about dumping a rom. use typo5.exe

then i used bcl.exe to extract the .nb files into bmp

I am not going to do a step by step here that is the general idea.

I don't know how to get a rom off a phone but if you have the rom that you put on the phone dump it and grab the splash screens from it.

the tools i used are in molski's devpack

btw the 3rd splash screen is a png file in the rom with some stupid name it is um welcomehead.96.png and it is actually a perfect 320 square so that it will load nicely in both portrait or landscape mode

I attached a Scarface splash screen I made using the HTC logo extracted from splash screen one of one of the newer roms

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] golfernutnflorida:
Go read the wiki.

To tell the difference between a G3 and a G4 wizard, you must look at the IPL and SPL versions. To find out what IPL/SPL version your Wizard has, turn the device off and back on. At the first splash screen, the IPL and SPL versions will be written in red at the top of the screen.

A G3 Wizard will have the following IPL: 1.xx or 2.xx or 2.xx.00x (Note that this version only has TWO 0's.).

SPL: 1.xx or 2.xx or 2.xx.00x (Note that this version only has TWO 0's.)

A G4 Wizard will have the following IPL: 2.xx.000x (Note that this version has THREE 0's.)

SPL: 2.xx.000x (Note that this version has THREE 0's.)
