The easiest way to revert to kitkat is to download tge latest version of kitkat from sammobile then inatall it using "mobile Odin" it won't fail but of course you may have no wifi or even imei and this will be fixed by flashing the correct modem for your Official firmware and also wifi fix"search xda"

P.S: flash the modem via Pc Odin and do like the method tell you "i remeber it was by unticking auto reboot and then flash the modem then close the phone and re-open it into download mode then flash it again"

It's all up to you. I am not responsible for anything and i used this way to revert back from kikat to jelly bean

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] julz:
Hi all,

I've just started developing watch faces for the LG G Watch R and Sony SmartWatch 3 after being a seasoned developer for the Sony SmartWatch 2. They should also work on any other Android Wear watch that's running the latest Lollipop 5.x update. I've published a few on Google Play but unfortunately they're hard to find via the Google Play search - easiest way is to see them via my Facebook page www.facebook.com/JJWwatchfaces or via my direct Google Play link www.julianjwong.com. Note that majority of them are SmartWatch 2 watch faces - you should be able to easily tell the difference from the app icon in Google Play.

Note that you can also find a few of my watch faces on Amazon here.

Hope you enjoy them!

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bantamdraper:
Hi all,

I recently was given a bricked G3 from a family member that thinks it might be fixable but they couldn't be bothered trying to fix it themselves. I've been looking over the phone and am trying to determine whether there's any evidence of water damage. I know there's a water damage indicator on the battery, which doesn't help me as he doesn't have the original battery any longer. From what I've read there's supposed to be another water damage indicator on the body of the phone under where the battery sits. There is a tiny circle there, which I'm assuming is what people are referring to since I can't see anything else. It's not white, but it doesn't exactly look red either. Honestly, it's so small it's hard to make out exactly what color it is. I've also noticed a white circle near the upper left corner which looks to be a more appropriate size, but I don't know if that could be it or not. I've attached a pic showing what I'm talking about.

Could anyone tell me with certainty where exactly this indicator is on the G3?

Thanks :)

So I been out of this flashing business for a few months n I thought I'd just check if there's anything new for my note 3, I found the lollypop ROM leaked for note 3.

I installed it with a clean Odin flash. But now I got problems all over.

#1

I cannot shoot video anywhere, (default camera, facebook messenger, Snapchat, 3rd party cameras) it just will not work at all.

#2

Lockscreen password will not stick. And when it did finally stick it said I had toed the Wrong password so I had to do a fresh flag to get back into my phone.

#3

Facebook/youtube videos freeze picture but sound continues about 15 seconds into playback

#4

WiFi randomly keeps forgetting the password and disconnecting. I have to reconfigure the connection every 2 or 3 hours.

#5

After about 1 hour of continuously using the phone it will just crash on me then force reboot i

I anyone knows how to fix this please let me know. Or link me to the most stable official Odin ROM for the LTE Note 3 please

[Samsung Gear S] elempe:
Hello,

First of all, long story short - I have just switched from Pebble to Gear S, this two devices can't even be compared, but I still miss my favorite watch face on Gear S.

You can take a look at this watchface here:

http://www.mypebblefaces.com/apps/6051/5430/

The Idea is to create weather oriented watch face, including weather data like temp, humidity, air pressure, current condition, sky cloud coverage, wind direction. Including sun rise/set moon phase.

This watch face is very popular in Pebble world, so I suppose users would like it on Geer S too.

Other info could be fine is watch information like battery level (phone&watch), notifications, steps count & other gear s specific stuff :)

So it looks like I'm talking about more informative than artistic watch face, kinda geeky :)

Data can get from openweathermap or other provider as for me openweathermap looks great.

P.S. I hope "gorges" won't mind we are taking idea from his watch face, as it'll be just example not a copy.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi All,

I'm looking for a windows utility, that can edit, customize and update an existing rom...

Basically, I am trying to tweak a Chinese rom to make it more INTERNATIONAL... However I'm not seeing many Windows (GUI) Apps that can do this, and if there is, they've been discontinued at ICS or earliest JB build.

Does anyone know an updated tool that can help me with this please...??

PhilzTouch is supposed to support this, but the package didn't work either...

Thanks, Lister
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DSA:
Philz touch is a recovery, not a ROM editing utility
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi [MENTION=4097982]DSA[/MENTION],

Yeah I'm aware it's a recovery, as I use it on my Note. However when I've tried to research looking for one of these Apps, some people suggested (and have seen in past, on unrelated topics) that with PhilzTouch you can clone your existing LIVE OS, and package it up to a Flashable Zip.

Well it did create a flashable zip, and it even puts it in a folder called "Custom Roms" which is based on a "Update.zip" file, even though it has a different name... However it doesn't flash, and when opened the file, it has .TAR files included and not a normal rom package.

So yeah, struggling to find anything that works... I came close to building/porting a rom earlier, however I received FCs afterwards...

Thanks, Andy
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] toolhas4degrees:
adb pull /system then zip with 7zip or winrar you will also need to make an updater script and updater binary for your device. with correct blocks so that the rom flashes correctly. so, you need to search for how to create an updater binary for your device and the correct blocks for data, system, and boot img. for your device. if cm has one for your device, you can usally download their rom zip and put all your info you pulled using adb into their zip deleting their's but note you will need your boot image to be pulled also which i do not know how to do
[General Topics] joe_dude:
Well, redirecting all BT audio became kind of a problem... it was eating up battery power on my S200 and headset.

So I wrote a new script for using the headset only for phone calls. The audio is redirected when an incoming call is detected, so that ringtones can be heard through the headset. This is particularly useful for using custom ringtones and in noisy environments when it's hard to hear the phone ring.

I've been having a hard time getting the script to work properly, but hopefully the script is now bug free. The problem I've encountered is that the headset will turn off (!!!) if the audio gateway is turned on too late. So like I said, this is *experimental*.

You will need VJVolubilis and MortScript like in my previous script - see previous post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=287691

I've included the scripts and a shortcut, which points to \program files\tools like before.

Note: I have *not* been able to get this to work on my stereo A2DP headset - only works on mono headset.

P.S. If you have a BT headset that can custom handle ringtones out-of-the-box, please tell me what model you have! Thanks!
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] He3d3ll:
Hello, I was wondering what happens if I install a custom ROM LG Optimus L5 E610 on LG Optimus E615 Dual, as you can see, the Optimus L5 E610 LG is equal to the LG Optimus L5 E615 Dual, the only difference is that the E610 has only one chip compared to having two E615.

So by my view if I install a ROM of E610 in my Cel it will work perfectly? Or a bug occurs over the second Chip? Please help me get this doubt. Remembering that my LG Optimus L5 E615 Dual is with android Jelly Bean installed version 4.1.2.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Archiimonde:
If the overheating issues are a fact, then Samsung would have an edge if they designed a mean SoC. Especially if their competitors are going for the 810.

I've also been missing the Wolfson DAC, since the Exynos version is impossible to find unless I'm looking abroad. Would be nice to have that opportunity.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
With all the reported issues in the 810, I'd avoid any phone based on it, and wait for one based on the 820.

It would be better if Samsung stuck to one CPU per Galaxy model though, IMO, I remember the Note 2 being Exynos globally, if I'm not mistaken?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Archiimonde:
Yep, same as the S3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lordoftheriffs:
S3 had snapdragon s4 in north america i think
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Johnmcl7:
That's correct, the Note 2 was quite strange in that it was only Exynos which I was sure was an error since most other Samsung devices used Qualcomm in the US and some other territories but it does seem to be the case.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] darekz:
My understanding was that it used separate lte radio. Now days they go for integrated solution
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bala_gamer:
Glad they are dumping crapdragon (as I call) in favor of exynos, the should have done it long back

Texted from Note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 General] AndreiLux:
Agree.

As I've said before, the 810 turns out to be a bad chip.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Archiimonde:
Wait, there was no SD Note 2?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Johnmcl7:
That's correct, there were variants with different radio support but they all used the Samsung Exynos platform rather than Snapdragon. I initially assumed a friend in the US was wrong when he said his US Note 2 was Exynos but when I read up on it I couldn't find any variants using a Snapdragon platform.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Archiimonde:
Hm, I didn't know! Usually, we get the SD where I live. Our S3 was Exynos. I stand corrected. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zurkx:
snapdragons this generation and the next suck so im happy they decided to ditch it for the s6. maybe we will get a 64 bit kernel for our note 4s finally if they go all in on exy 7s for the s6.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] adeelraj:
They should put a heatsink fan on s805
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Tom-Helge:
Personally, i give a damn on what processor the Note 5 will use (as that will be my next phone or maybe the Note 6). Because what matters to me is that the CPU and ofc the GPU gives me good performance and as long as i can root and install a good custom ROM on the Note without any hassles or problems, then i will be all happy.

I know there are more support for the Snapdragon CPU's when it comes to custom ROM's, but i do believe it's alright for the Exynos version to if i'm not wrong here?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] darekz:
Nope. This is why "Exynos abuse" was easiest way to root Note 2.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] corrupteddata:
Agree. I tried out Note 4 with SD at Best Buy and decided to go with Exynos version. The lags and stutters on SD version are too obvious. Also not happy with audio/music quality on SD DAC.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Archiimonde:
You mean you don't give a damn? Anyway, CPU performance is hardly a problem these days. A lot more of it is in software optimization. The support for the SD SoCs is a lot bigger, since it's everywhere. More closed source SoCs, like the Exynos, are only to be found in Samsung's phones. It's harder to develop a proper CM for it due to closed source libs, but some of the most skilled developers in here are still doing some amazing work.

I see, thanks :)

Personally, I think Samsung should go for the Exynos, as Qualcomm has hardly any competition. With Samsung being one of the biggest manufacturers, I think it can make a huge difference. If Samsung is just consistent, using only the Exynoses in their flagships at least.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Artoriuz:

it'll be too late for the S6 and by the Note 5 there will be an even better Exynos chip, heck even the 5433 in the Note 4 is bound to be better than the sd810.

Then again that might just be prejudice due to the only phones I've had that crapped out being snapdragon...
