To be honest this is exactly what everyone says when there is a settled order, and usually when the object of reference has no momemtum or buyin what happens. But not what happens when the reference meets the criteria that Cyanogenmod meets and exceeds.

Just speculating though :)

they are showing multibillion dollars is not what it takes by free (remember when microsoft and googe started, they were "free" ;))
[ONE General] aj44mc:
Maybe this could be a 2 way street. Microsoft could help CM to take Google down a notch or two and in return CM could help develop a compatibility layer in windows phone to use android apps.

Could just be my pipe dreams.
[ONE General] furrycurry:
Yeah just dreams lol
[ONE General] jgcaap:
The issue is that cm is used by a big part of android. People prefer it over stock. Not only they fix bugs as they take it to the next level. Would like to see the plans they have.
[ONE General] Heisenberg:
It isn't used by a lot of people though, it's used by a fair proportion of people who modify their phones, but they (modders) only make up a very small percentage of smartphone consumers. The vast majority of average consumers have absolutely no idea who CM are, and probably never will.

CM fix some bugs, but CM also create some bugs. I'm interested to see what plans they have too, but they're seriously overstating their exposure and popularity, that's a big mistake, I predict that their plan to have their own app market is going to fail spectacularly.

[ONE General] ek69:
No way I see CM's app store idea working out. If they start development on windows OS apps for Microsoft's app store that's a different story though. Microsoft mobile phones app store is atrocious and if somehow CM is able to bridge windows OS with Google apps, that would be something (like how blackberry OS has the android ability where android apps can be side loaded and run)
[ONE General] bachera:
I can see a way it works out, if its better, safer, cheaper for developers to use. There are many that find Googles monopoly position appaling as they take a chunk out of the margins.

anyway fun this discussion leaned more towards an app store then the next gen OS to compete with android and apple os :)
[ONE General] zaphodbeeb:
I hope this is just cheap marketing for microsoft. Wasnt android meant to be open? Microsoft and open software does not compute. Android and google can hardly be considered as open either as they require all manufacturers to play their game and I thought that was what cyanogenmod was about once. Maybe no longer.

Hi guys,

sorry I posted this in another section so you may read this twice...I am desperate for a solution.

Hey guys,

this is a small issue, but one which is irritates me no end.

Last night, I used o2 connect on the handset to upgrade o2 plus from 2.1 01220606 to version 2.3 released 4 jan 2007.

It installed, but said that it couldn't delete version 2.1.

As far as I can tell there isn't any change, hopefully more stable, but I have lost most of my 'today' options on the today screen.

In particular I can't see the 02 plus shortcuts/large icons for easy access and I don't have the large onscreen battery meter which was previously there.

Is there any way to rollback this update?

Is there any way to manually add the today items?

Is there a manual method so that I can just see my battery meter & o2 short cuts!!!!!

Thanks for help

Hello everyone

I have been playing arrownd with my phone and using xposed and pimp my room, and i had to do a nandroid restore, and now i find out that the /system is full and i cant install any app or anything, i get a message saying there ir no space for the app to install, i have link2sd and the storage report says that efectively /system is full, can someone tell me how and free up space there?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasank360:
If you have that nandroid backup still on sd card I have a suggestion.

Install root explorer or es file explorer. Grant supersu access and go to root folder. Then go to system and take a close look at each folder that is present under /system.

You might find something unusual. Also check the file size of "SYSTEM" in your nandroid backup. It should be of similar size to what you see 'used' under /system.

I attached pictures of my situation. FOR ME ::: in /system it says 628 MB used out of 846 MB total. Now check the other screenshot.. Nandroid backup of same ROM is saying "system.ext4.win" is 603MB. They are close enough.

Insufficient storage available?

Is that wat ur screenshot in Spanish says?

U using Link2SD, right?

I had same issue.

I don't know if u fixed it already or not, if not, try this.

Link2SD -> Settins -> Native APP2SD settings -> Install location -> Automatic

Now u don't get the error message when u download from Google play, si senor?

what i did to solve this is to flash the stock room again and only restore data, and then turned some apps from system apps to user apps so that i could free space on /system

Hi guys

I was a really happy S4 user before I let it fall in the ground before my S4 died I backed up everything also EFS.

Anyway I bought a new Note 3 from a other country and the problem is the dealer told me that he changed the motherboard or removed the IMEI for some reason well I don't know exactly what he did with it and here I question is it possible to use the EFS of mine S4 to the note 3?

PS I still have the S4 and both of the phones are legal bought and I also don't know if I'm at the right topic
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st3chn0:
No you can't transfer from a completely different device and this is still illegal

Don't know why you'd want to change your imei when you have a working phone???
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruno saa:
All transfers or change the IMEI is strictly illegal

you have an other problem with your IMEI (lost or other) return your device to SAV
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Golku:
Thanks for your reply , Even if the phone is legally mine ? BTW what is a SAV? a Samsung service point ? Well the funny thing is I did that but didn't got helped because they don't support the SM-N9005

Hello you guys I have a s-on rooted M8,I am trying to apply an OTA update halfway through red triangle appears. When I go to the menu I can see the following error:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daneland:
It is stock recovery or let me say that way it is the recovery image which I used to apply last OTA
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
You need the right stock recovery as mentioned in error log:

Package expects build fingerprint of htc/vodafone_uk/htc_m8:4.4.4/KTU84P/392065.9:user/release-keys or htc/vodafone_uk/htc_m8:5.0.1/LRX22C/457188:2user/release keys; this device has (my device's code)

this device has (my device's code) is not helping much without full description.

I suspect that your device has htc/vodafone_uk/htc_m8:4.4.4/KTU84P/392065.5 when the OTA needs 392065.9

Just use htc/vodafone_uk/htc_m8:5.0.1/LRX22C/457188:2 which you can get from the OTA.zip itself.

Copy the OTA.zip (sdcard\Download\) to PC, open it with 7-zip, then open firmware.zip, extract out the recovery.img from it. This is the one that you need.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daneland:
Thank you so much for your reply.I dont want to be a pain but how can I download it manually or locate it after I downloaded through normal way of software update?

Copy the OTA.zip (sdcard\Download\) to PC, open it with 7-zip, then open firmware.zip, extract out the recovery.img from it. This is the one that you need.​

sdcard/Download is where the location of OTA.zip is downloaded to.

Download as usual with software update, when it ask to install select install later, then copy the OTA.zip to PC

Boot to bootloader (you know how to) to flash the extracted recovery.img

Reboot - do software update checking again (it will ask to download again, select download but actually it won't go the download process again .. the complete one will pop-up and ask to install now or later, select install now .. done

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wq0913562:
Hello,

sometimes I am reading that some users are installing TWRP via AutoRec.

But sometimes I am also reading that some users install Bump!ed versions of TWRP by simply flashing it directly via Flashify for example.

Are there any advantages/disadvantages comparing those methods?

Or would both give the same results?

What is currently considered the best way to install TWRP on the LG G2 when TWRP has not been installed yet?

Regards
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheUnladenSwallow:
It depends on the roms you will be using, if you're going to use a bumped ROM then using the latest stock base and flashing twrp though flashify is the cleanest method, but if the ROM you're using isn't bumped you need the jelly bean bootloader and thus should use autorec. Note that you can install bumped ROMs on the jelly bean bootloader but you CAN NOT install non bumped ROMs on the kitkat bootloader. If you are using a bumped setup and flash a non bumped ROM, it will boot loop. If you don't have a BUMPED ROM still on your storage, you will need to factory reset through download mode or fastboot (whichever you have, some flashable bootstacks purposefully break download mode to enable fastboot. I personally prefer download mode, if I can't get to an adb prompt I'd rather just flash a kdz).
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HCFL:
Hey wq.

I very recently installed AutoRec on my D802, which has the latest 4.4.2 KK. It works flawlessly, and I recommend it. I believe the .apk installs TWRP 2.7.0.0, which has worked for me very well, and I have installed at least 15 different ROMs with it so far.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wq0913562:
Hello,

thank you very much for your fast and detailed answers.

So, let's assume someone uses AutoRec to install TWRP for the first time on a LG G2, which only installs an old version of TWRP (version 2.7.0.0).

Which TWRP version should one then use to update to the latest version of TWRP?

Would you use the blastagator version from over there:

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705

Or would you use the official version from over there:

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/197

And how would you install it?

By simply booting into TWRP 2.7.0.0 (provided by AutoRec) and then from there flashing the latest TWRP zip file?

Regards
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RohanM:
I wanted to flash cloudy rom which is bumped.

So i straight away used flashify to flash bumped recovery and then flashed the rom..

No autorec needed.

I flashed blastgator's twrp with thermal control.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shinral:
January 26 I got my second note 4 purchased online from the Italian store neophoniastore. Like every time I make a video unboxing of my new phone, this time after finishing the video, I realize that the phone is scratched into the frame in a small spot on the lower left, and only them. The box was sealed and the phone came out already scratched (I can see the scratch in the video) , the seller says it is my fault and I must repair the phone with my money, I tried to contact the Samsung via Twitter, Facebook and email, but after three days I have not received any response. Is this the way to treat those who spend € 600 for a phone? Am I the only one with this problem?

this is the video

[Galaxy Note 4 General] zurkx:
are you serious ? lol.

its a phone. get over it. youre going to put a case on it anyway.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
I'll have to agree. By the way, every single Note 4 is scratched somewhere (even before the seal on the box is broken). Samsung is using cheap metal this time to make up for profit loss. This is what happens when a company like Samsung tries to meet demands of the customer. We all wanted a metal frame, and this is what we got. We can't have everything, otherwise, these billion-dollar corporations can't sustain and survive in a ever-growing market. ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Redefined301:
If you made the unboxing video, why not post a link here? Does the video show this defect? If this is a defect then by law in your country and the Samsung Warranty you should be able to return the product back to the seller for refund.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shinral:
Yes the video show the scratch, but it is over 2gb and shows my name and address, I'm going to edit it before posting. I already contacted the seller, and ask him the replacement or 100€ refund, but by phone he says me to contact Samsung, because he isn't going to refund me anything. Anyway I Like this phone and I want to keep it, the scratch is so little, but I'm really disappointed because I spent 600€ for a damaged phone and no one in Samsung is responding my questions or offering support, only silence.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] burnin:
My Note 4 is perfect, no scratch or other defect. Probably you did it and dont see how!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] JNetwork:
Very small scratches you may have to accept to some extent but still, as you say for such an expensive phone you shouldn't accept a bigger one. Looks like the one in the picture is quite noticeable. I would also be disappointed and even if you don't get a refund you should receive an answer at least.

Not everyone uses case anyway.

Mine was surprisingly scratch-free, as it should be even if it becomes very easily scratched.

Did you buy it abroad?

Some sellers open it to insert sim-card locally once I've seen to avoid lock. They might scratch it.

Some less serious sellers also use returns / refurbished phones that was previously opened.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
This has been mentioned many times on the forums already. One can see only as far as his or her eyes can see. I have personally gone through 12 different Note 4's each having some microscratch somewhere, and yes, that would include the home button. The only microscratch I see is a faint one on the metal chamfered edge as a result of the way the device was packaged by Samsung. These devices come all the way from Vietnam and are handled by the carriers in the states, extremely sure the scratches are to the normal extent as possible.

Scratches which are not normal are those handled by the innocent that want to protect their investment by installing cases on their phones. That's an isolated incident, and the OP on this thread "may" have tried using a case which chipped the frame.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shinral:
Samsung told me that since it is an accidental damage they do not have responsibility, then they told me to do a quote for the repair at my expense. this is the phone of another boy, also his arrived scratched.

the box was closed with seals intact, no brand, so never used by carrier.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jonahtriangle:
Can I ask why you went through 12 devices?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shinral:
here the reply from samsung support:

Welcome to Samsung Customer Service

As for the assistance of the display of your Note 4, I wish to inform you that the repair, as is

stated in the warranty card inside the box of the product, do not cover accidental damage.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
That's absurd, sorry to hear that. If your experience was true, do the right thing, and give Samsung the video of "you actually unboxing the video and experiencing this from the start."

Might as well SHOW YOUR PROOF OF EVIDENCE, OTHERWISE many on the forums, including myself, will consider this thread a waste of time to attend to.

It's what happens when you know too much. ;):silly::good:

AMOLED technology at its finest in addition to a few other quirks and "usual" quality control issues Samsung has to offer on their premium flagship devices. Finally acknowledged it was a Samsung attribute all along.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shinral:
This afternoon after 9 tweet, samsung exclusive sent me a tweet and I show them the video, now I'm waiting for a response.

this is a screenshot of the unboxing video, I can't show the full video, because it shows my name,address, and imei when I cut the security seals
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MyPeople:
It's unacceptable to accept that it's normal to receive a brand new €600 phone with some scratch. Some people won't mind but it's totally unacceptable to sell a €600 phone with that kind of faults. Samsung should do something about it.

If you really have a video where you show the unboxing and the scratch so they can see that it's not accident but a manufacturing defects then promote it in twitter specially. Some companies react when yu mention them in twitter because they don't want some big blog site to give coverage to the story and show how bad their customer service is.

But if your video doesn't show the unboxing and the scratch then you won't be able to do much as they could say that you had an accident after doing the video
[Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
Good Job with the video, that should wake Samsung Executives up. Now, show us a screenshot of Samsung's response on Twitter and continue to keep us informed. Not just you that had to go through this. ;):good::cowboy:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jpbl1976:
Unless you've actually SEEN AND CAREFULLY INSPECTED every single damn Note 4 out there (that would take you years, by the way -- they've shipped millions), you're pulling your conclusion out of thin air or from that part of your body where the sun doesn't shine.

The 12 you've 'inspected' doesn't count -- especially compared to the millions of devices out there. Quit trolling.

Mine didn't have any scratches out of the box. I'm probably more concerned about this sort of thing than the average XDA user and I would never take something from a shop that had a visible defect.

If your device came scratched just return it. Don't have time to do it? Didn't do it when you could have? Tough luck.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
Nah, not trolling, Samsung already acknowledged this. Search the forums, virtually everybody's impressions and feedback are consistent. Many have tried to circumvent this by installing plastic film, etc., and solutions have worked to an extent. There is a link that navigates you to SamsungTomorrow's Blog showing how Samsung did their best in terms of handling devices during the assembly and packaging process; the logistics is also a major factor. Many have tried to avoid scratches, but have failed; I've been through AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon, and the International Note 4, they all have it somewhere, and it ultimately depends how you look at it and how you define it. Take it easy and move on. End of story. The next big thing is almost here.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] CollectorZ:
I had scratches out of box aswell, but I didn't mind alot.

And guy up is right, almost every device is factory scratched lol.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
I wouldn't Lol. :) Otherwise, Samsung may fuel this even further. If they want to compete with companies like Apple, Samsung needs to change their manufacturing and QC process ASAP. Read the authentic reviews on the Note 4, and even after a couple of pulls out of a jean pocket, users had undesirable scratches to their chamfered edges.

I respect those that deny seeing any scratches as they have their own observations and claims as well.

I do have to say that Samsung could have done a lot better with this aspect. These issues started surfacing from the Note 2, onwards. The Galaxy S2, Galaxy S, and Galaxy Note N7000 never posed these minor issues.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] riz157:
This is ridiculous you shouldnt expect any sort of damage minor or major on a brand new device. You have evey right to demand refund.
