Hi,

I am the owner of xperia z1 that I bought on 31/12/2014. The device still under warranty but I don't worry to much about it. The reason Im here is to understand the process how to make custom android operating system by go through kernel compilation process. I own apple powerbook g4 run with Debian family operating system. Can anyone of you explain further about kernel compilation process for android? Do I need to download android OS do the kernel compile and transfer into xperia smartphone?

Many thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Jayare_H:
Ok so I got into this because I got a spare phone from a guy that tried to root and install custom rom but couldn't get it to work and had thought he had bricked the phone. The phone still worked but would not display anything so I used adb and installed multirom recovery and then flashed I believe the fluent lollipop rom. got the screen to work and added a secondary bad boyz rom to install. What I want to do is find a good beginners guide on what a Kernel is and what to look for when changing roms and kernels, would like to try CM12 lollipop so would need to know which recovery to install and how to uninstall the multirom, and would like to just find a straight forward breakdown of how this works. thanks again for any teaching I can gain from anybody.

For information on MultiROM (and how to remove it) check the thread below:

For an explanation of what the kernel does, look below:

As far as recoveries go, your best bet is to stick with TWRP. You can find links to the official version in the TWRP thread in Original Development. Captain Throwback also maintains an "unofficial" version offering MultiROM support over at theMikMik.

Hi guys, i need a bit of help for all of you, i recently bought a Belkin F8T012UK dongle hoping to do sync and internet over the Bluetooth, first thing i notice is the driver is not Vista Ready, so i went to their site and download the latest driver, it gave me a hell of the time to install, and i wasn't 100% it install ok.

Anyway, the main thing is the sync doesn't seems to work, my Athena can pick up my computer, but if you click and check what servers it provide, it provide none. so, no sync, no file transfer, nothing.

Any idea guys? :)

what is that suppose to do? to hide the icon or enable me to sync via bluetooth? At the moment, i can sync no problem, it just everytime when it's connected, a connection icon appear on the system tray, which takes up one row of space on my screen, all i am trying to do is disable this icon, so the system tray won't appear to take up my space. Any idea?

[General Questions and Answers] BladeRunner:
I purchased a phone on the edge program for Verizon. It's not fully paid off so I am wondering if I can sell the phone say on Swappa or Ebay. I know I'd still be obligated to continue making the payments, but does Verizon tie the ESN to my account until it is paid off so that it can't be activated on another account? Do they care? It's currently sitting in a drawer with no SIM in it and an ESN check says it's clean and ready to activate.

I'd just hate to sell it only to find out the purchaser can't activate it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m55ikael:
Hi,

I've replaced the digitizer and battery on my LG G2 D802. This was done after the original digitizer was cracked from a fall. Before the repair the screen and phone worked perfectly and half the digitizer was functional.

The battery was breached while attempting to disassemble the phone, so this was replaced as well.

When booting back up after the repair, the LCD is now having issues (no issues prior to digitizer replacement). The screen goes all white on boot up, and seems to be grey in it's turned off state, as opposed to the normal black colour. The phone seems to function besides the screen, and the digitizer seems work.

What do you think is wrong and how can I fix it? See pictures below.

Possible malfunctions according to myself are:

- I've read that white screens can happen when new hardware is not recognized. Maybe a factory reset will fix it?

- The connectors for the LCD screen not being tight (they seem fine to me);

- The screen got messed up from the heat or melting glue when heating the screen to peel off cracked digitizer.

I would very much appreciate your help on this issue, so thanks!

Pic 1: Screen is turned on and an all white screen is shown. Pic2: Screen is grey in its off state (looks like a 90s Nokia or a calculator). The bubble in the middle is caused by residue glue. Pic 3: G2 grey screen compared to normal black LCD off state of an iPad.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ_MiX:
look like lcd was damage during removal of digitizer
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kopter3161:
When phone is powered off is that LCD still grey? If yes then probably its been damaged. Is there any colour problem it is definitely damaged. Also you stated that you replaced the digitizer and battery. AFAIK G2's LCD and digitizer are fused together so when you replace it will come as a unit. Maybe it was cheap clone?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaxs:
He tried to do just digitizer which is a no no unless you have the correct tools. He said "- The screen got messed up from the heat or melting glue when heating the screen to peel off cracked digitizer."
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kopter3161:
Yeah now i see. That explain greyed screen. Lol. Bad choice. A set of it would be cheap and less hassle to operate. Not to mention he will got both LCD and digitizer as a new unit.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaxs:
Yep, bummer!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markrulesallnow:
I would recommend getting one with the LCD and Digitizer in the housing. Super easy to replace.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m55ikael:
I didn't say that. I said it is a possible reason as to why the screen is now grey. Except for the colour it doesn't seem heat damaged. There are a bunch of videos on Youtube doing this same repair, so it's definitely not impossible. For all I know the screen might be greyed out if it's not connected to the battery. That's why I'm asking here.

Could anyone point me to a reliable supplier where I can get the LCD and digitizer as a unit without paying a fortune? I live in Europe btw.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabecoool:
Hi!

I have been a heavy user of custom ROMs for more than three years now on all my Android devices. Lately, although I have a phone that not so long ago was still Samsung's flagship (the galaxy S4, I9505), the pictures I get with it really suck. A couple weeks ago, the phone could not detect my SIM card (pure hardware issue), so I re-installed the stock firmware and took it to the repair shop to get the warranty repair. They fixed it and I got my phone back. Just to make sure it was working fine, I decided to use the stock ROM for a while, and oh surprise: the camera takes much better pics in low light conditions or indoor than the same camera with any custom ROM app (usually AOSP-based, AOKP or CM-based). I tried to download the Google camera, and the low light pictures really suck. Then I tried a bunch of camera apps from the Play store, but I invariably got similar results to what I got with my custom ROMs.

That got me thinking. I'm no dev nor programmer, so I won't get technical, but it seems to me that there can be two reasons for the samsung app to work better:

- Either it has access to (proprietary) hardware drivers that other camera apps cannot access, and therefore it can get everything out of the camera hardware

- Or Samsung (which is not known to be great for its software) has developed a great camera software.

I would think it's something along the lines of the first reason. So does that mean I am either stuck with a ROM I cannot stand (Touchwiz is awful, has always been, and may always be) and a decent camera, or a decent ROM but a camera that is kind of useless when I'm indoor?

If so, how are the cameras on other similar phones (I'm thinking Nexus 5, Sony Xperia, etc.), running on custom ROMs compared to the stock camera apps? Is there also a noticeable difference, or is it just with Samsung?

I understood that you cannot run the Samsung camera apk on a custom ROM (even one on a Samsung phone), because the camera relies on some kind of Samsung proprietary framework.

Does this mean I should be looking for a phone that is running not only on open source software, but also open source hardware, does that even exist?

Anyone has noticed something similar? Am I the only one to be bothered by this?

I'll post here a couple pics taken in the same ambient light conditions. One with the Samsung camera (Auto setting), one with Google camera, and one with another camera app from the market (don't remember which one, but I tested about 15 of them and their results were quite similar).

Anyway, even if you don' have a solution to the problem but can point me to information that could help me understand how to choose my next phone, I would really appreciate. Thanks!

Cheers,

Fa

So here come the pics. Of course XDA compresses them, but you'll get the idea.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
That is the example difference between things that are built for the device over using open-source options. Software will always be better from the OEM. You see the same thing with HTC and Sony devices. Take the m7 and m8. They have great cameras as long as you use HTC Sense. Other wise all you get is a basic 4 mpx camera that sucks. If you want one that works the same no matter the rom then get a nexus. This is something OEM are doing to make people want to use their software
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabecoool:
Thanks [MENTION=1140856]zelendel[/MENTION],

A Nexus could be an option, but the screen size of the Nexus 5 was already too large for me (and so is my current phone, the Galaxy S4), so there's no way I'm getting a Nexus 6 (plus it's prohibitively expensive, at least here in Europe). When will Google make a Nexus mini or compact? That would rock, especially if they go the Sony way (not compromising too much on hardware features). The only downside of Nexus phone is their lack of MicroSD card slot, but that's off topic.

Anyway, what about the Google Edition phones? As I understand, they have the same hardware as their OEM counterpart (don't they?), but instead of running on proprietary stock ROMs, they ship with a pure Vanilla Android. Does this mean they ship with a camera that sucks, or is there some kind of tweak included to get the most of the camera with those editions, too? If so, would flashing that ROM help (if I can get my hands on it)? Unfortunately it seems the whole Google Edition concept has not gained a lot of traction (maybe because of the unavailability of the handsets in many places, maybe thanks to the OEM who did not play fair game and rather managed to get their crappy proprietary stock versions in the hands of customers), so I'm trying not to get too excited about this either.

I guess I will have to go to my local phone shop, spend time there with different devices and see if some of them have less heavily customized skins than TouchWiz. That means I'll no longer go for a Samsung, which have been my only devices so far. The end of an era...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
The GPE device dont come with stock android completely. I have a GPE HTC M7 and the gpe software has some of the closed sourced drivers and such for things like Beats audio and the camera. As I run pure AOSP I wind up with a 4mpx camera that really sucks. While i agree alot of the newer devices have huge screens that make it almost pointless for me. The m7 is not bad at about 5in. But then again it doesnt have an SD card slot but comes with 32gb of storage which I think is plenty for my use. Part of me misses my old samsung devices but I made the mistake once of getting the one with the Samsungs chip and not the snapdragon which killed development.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabecoool:
Alright! Well, if I could find the GPE edition for my phone (I9505), then I would get all the camera features and none of the TouchWiz crap, which would already be quite an improvement over what I have now (complete TW stock). I guess another possibility would be to flash a stock based ROM that is rooted and from which I could remove all the bloatware...

OK, the hunt is on for a new ROM!

Cheers!

Fa
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
If you want all the features of the camera then yes I would run a stock de bloated rom. I used to run Samsung devices and you can remove most things which will give you the camera app which has all the best features.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JJS_11:
I am stuck with my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4 (I-545 on KitKat 4.4.2 NC5 using safestrap) that I rooted months ago and all the sudden has stopped working.

I had it in my lap and it turned off when the battery was around 50%+ and will not fully turn back on. The only life it gives is when the battery is replaced, which it flashes the first boot screen then turns off. When I plug it into the charger the phone will not do anything whether I replace the battery or not. I cannot boot into "Download Mode" or "Recovery Mode" because the phone turns off before I can attempt that.

I have taken it apart and tried to see if the power button was stuck pushed in and it seems not to be because it clicks smoothly as it would. I tried to softly and firmly tap it on the power button side of the phone to get it unstuck but that did not help either. I have also tried a few different batteries and that does not seem to change anything.

Wondering if there is a solution to this as I do not believe I can mail in the phone with insurance because it is rooted. Anyway to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hello All,

Question: How can I enable UMTS AWS (B4) on Samsung Galaxy S5 Active (Canadian variant, although if there is any solution to AT&T variant it probably works for this one as well)?

I have tried all the methods that I could have found on XDA or elsewhere but had no luck (incl. QPST/QXDM NV entry, hidden menus, ...). On QPST when I retrieve the Freqs from my phone all bands are selected but there is no B4 (AWS). Is there something that I am missing? BTW, when I want to write to my phone (after using QXDM to enable writing), QPST throws an exception which indicates that phone has been disconnected (which is not the case). Is there any known method which can fix this issue and have UMTS AWS enabled on S5 Active?

A broader question: Since S5 and S5 Active use the same chips (my understanding), is it even possible that this be a HW limitation on Active?

Cheers
