[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djamol:
I've just look out a pretty "CreateFileW" function in "Nokia.SilentInstaller.Runtime" file.

It work's over the Standard "DeviceIOControl" access level.(Requires InteropServices)

We can "Copy" any type of file to the any part of the whole OS "AcrossAllPartion".

Having the same 'destName' file will be replace. ;)

Edit:

"Nokia.SilentInstaller.Runtime.winmd" uses "RPCInterop" service and NtdkClient.dll uses "DeviceIOControl" Service.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gakuseinozen:
I have two separate issues which I believe are caused by the same thing.

1. When I try to alter platform.xml in the /system/etc/permissions folder via ES File Explorer to enable 3rd party apps to have write capability to the SD card, the edit is unsuccessful and my phone reboots. When I pull a copy of the file to my PC, alter it, and then try to push it via ADB, the same thing happens. I previously used the ADB pull/push method to edit my hosts file and had success with that after doing it while in Recovery, but this time around both ways (in recovery and with the device booted up) result in my device rebooting. For the SD card fix, I've also tried the app that does it for you and encounter the same issue.

2. When attempting to update the SuperSU binary, the update fails my device reboots. This happens with either update method - normal and recovery.

So both issues seem to have the same root cause... my phone will not allow any editing of system files. Anyone have any suggestions?

For reference I'm on a Galaxy Note 4 (model SM-N910T) on T-Mobile.

Baseband version N910TUVU1ANJ7

Android version 4.4.4 (stock ROM)

Kernel version 3.10.0-2796035

Build number KTU84P.N910TUVU1ANJ7

I'm also running Wanam Xposed - not sure if that has anything to do with anything but just fyi.

Thanks

replace the altered xml with a original/stock one..

If u have a backup
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gakuseinozen:
I have the stock .xml in there right now... my problem is that I want to replace it, but I can't because my phone reboots every time I try.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinavp649:
Is your Phone is rooted? If yes:

place the altered .xml somewhere in your sd card.

1. Install an app called Total Commander.

2. Navigate to the location where your stock file is located.(delete it)

3. Now goto sd card where you placed your altered file.

4. Tap on Icon of the .xml file, You will see a green tick mark on it.

5. When your file is selected. Tap on Copy/Move to Icon.( u will see two files one on one with a blue arrow)

6. Now Click on '>>' button to browse the location where you have to Copy/Move the File.

7. Now Tap Copy if You want a backup placed in sd card of the file or move if you just want one file to be there.

(Through all the Process I am assuming that your phone is rooted and you Have Granted SuperUser permissions to Total Commander)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gakuseinozen:
I'm assuming this will end with the same result as when I try it through ES File Explorer. ES has the same capability and I have given it root access already. Something is causing all attempts to alter system files to fail, regardless of root access.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gakuseinozen:
This was not successful. Anyone else have any ideas? I tried posting logs in the SuperSU update failure thread, with the logic that if I get that issue fixed my other issue will be resolved also, but Chainfire hasn't responded to any of the requests in a while.

Hello, I've been a gui dev for a long time, a huge fan of XDA. It is a little painful for me to visit this site as it causes a twitch in my brain. I did a quick refresh mock-up of a cleaner XDA version. A full white bg, removed borders and drop shadows. It is a little more pleasing to the eye and maybe if you like it as well you can implement changes.

Actually when we first released this version (2015), it was a pure white but everyone complained that it was too white. It's really hard to make everyone happy.

I recommend submitting this as a userstyle. This would allow visitors who want to have a 'lighter' experience do so.

IHope this is the right place for my question.

Well, the waiting time is over and my lovely Z3 D6603 has root on LB. Now i want ( easy ) transfer the accounts from my Z C6603. I made a copy of the accounts.db and pasted the file from my Z to my Z3, set right permissions. But the Z3 was freezing after booting, no prob, had a backup and used the filemanager in Dualrecovery to restore the file. So, did i forgot something, or is it not possible to "transfer" the old accs in this way? Have 6 g-accs... And i'm sooo lazy... :rolleyes:

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insyderzG60:
I recently updated my Moto X 2014 to Lillipop and am running into a few snags that i didnt have with 4.4.4 Kit Kat. (Verizon)

I recently realized that while on a phone call, i can no longer look up something on the internet or send anything data related while on a phone call. I realized this when i was talking to a buddy on the phone and need to look something up for him and discovered that i couldnt use data during calls.

I was thinking about it, and when i was on 4.4.4 kit kat, i had no issues using data during a phone call, but with the update to lollipop, that feature seemed to have gone away.

Is this something verizon is doing with the coming of their VoLTE Advanced Calling update, or is there an issue with my phone? I never had this issue before with the 2013 Moto X. :confused:

Thanks
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smelkus:
Yes, it is because of Advanced Calling. You can still use wifi while you're in a call, but you cannot use cellular data while in a call. Supposedly (hopefully), we will get Advanced Calling on the next update in February (cross your fingers).

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thetemplar90:
Hello everyone,

after my last smartphone died, a Razr I (flashed with CM11), I am a bit confused about the situation with my new phone, the z3c.

I hate the Stock ROM and would love to get my hands on the new CM12 (or similar).

But I read that flashing/unlocking destroys the DRMs and makes the camera worse (among others).

Is there a way to get a Custom ROM without that drawback?

With my current Version 23.0.A.2.98 there is not even a exploit to root the system and make a complete backup (with DRMs), if i recall correctly. Or am I wrong?

Should I wait for a exploit in Sonys Lollipop ROM (if there will be any) or do i lose the Sony-DRMs nevertheless by flashing a Custom ROM?

Thanks and sorry if the questions are a bit confused, I am fairly new to all of this!

[X 2014 General] ChristianPreachr:
So...after 4 months with the Verizon version, I'm making what I call a "lateral"transfer to the LG G2. Specs are becoming moot. The G2 offers a lot, the battery being a big factor.

Did anyone else let go of there Moto X 2014?
[X 2014 General] _MetalHead_:
I'll never let go of the Moto X, best phone ever made. I always sell my old devices to pay for my new ones, but that's not gonna happen this time around. This bad boy is going in the museum when I upgrade.
[X 2014 General] Solutions Etcetera:
A friend just got the G3 as there was some issue getting the Moto X (corporate account). It's a great phone, but I wasn't a big fan of their software overlays. Plus cell radio quality is a big factor for me and the Moto X has better radio/antenna system. Camera on LG is noticeably better, but still not good enough if it is low light and something I really care about. Nice that it has removable battery and SD card, but have really never needed either.

And I do like the Moto X add ons... if they'd only get 'Attentive Display' working on Lollipop!
[X 2014 General] ChristianPreachr:
I'm finding that the battery isn't holding up long term.I need more. It's great for what it does, but it's a legitimate step back. It's rather disappointing.
[X 2014 General] Steve-x:
Attentive display seems to be working quite well in the newest lollipop build (5.0.1) that was just released for Telus in Canada.

Cons: no sd card and no easily removable battery

Pro: everything else

[X 2014 General] ChristianPreachr:
The battery life is really bad, and has gotten worst. Even with Lollipop, which made it better, I'm not happy. As much as I love the speed of the phone, the battery is killing me hard! The G2 will give me near similar speed with much better battery, not to mention greater storage. This may be on Swappa soon...
[X 2014 General] gotzaDroid:
I went from a nexus 5 to a G3 to now the moto X² PE and won't give this up unless something crazy comes out or the X³ arrives.

I have not had any battery issues with this phone as I consistently get 4.5 hrs SOT with 12+ hours total. I will say that the camera on the G3 was much better, but the moto X isn't horrible. And the hands free/voice actions with this phone are second to none.

That's just my humble opinion though.
[X 2014 General] MrToxicTaco:
As someone on Verizon, this phone is BY FAR the best available. No bloatware other than AcDisplay and some nice Moto things that make the phone better. Coming from a GS3 and a Galaxy Nexus (switched after my GS3 cracked), this phone is a god when it comes to battery life. I consistently get three, if not four hours of SoT per day. This phone already has lollipop and had it before some Nexus devices got it, and some flagships still don't have it, let alone on Verizon. The only thing not so good is the camera, but it gets the job done fine as long as there's good lighting. If I had the choice (unlocked cell service), I would still choose the OnePlus One, but I didn't have a choice.
[X 2014 General] ChristianPreachr:
I'm on Verizon, and you must not have used a G3 or the Turbo at all. The LG skin is light (I come from Samsung) and the Turbo is the X beefed up.
[X 2014 General] _MetalHead_:
The Turbo looks great on paper, but the actual device is only so-so. I spent a good deal of time with one and walked away unimpressed. The X has FAR better build quality, is as fast if not faster (no QHD screen to waste resources on) and was generally smoother. Sure the turbo has better battery life, but my X easily lasts through the day and then some so it's a non-issue. The G3 is ugly, the skin is still pretty bad, and it is underpowered for the screen it has. Aside from the N5, everything LG puts out is just meh. People need to stop looking at only specs, they don't matter nearly as much as they used to. That said, the X still provides the best user experience out of any phone on the market, and that is what's important.
[X 2014 General] MrToxicTaco:
My feelings exactly. I really, really didn't like how the Turbo was built and even though the G3 build in my opinion is sleek, it's nothing special compared to the X. I've never used either phone as a daily driver, so I may not be the best one to judge it, but the Moto X is blazing fast with "good enough" features that work for me as a user who just wants to get through the day being able to use features like Google Now, something I was never able to keep on with my previous phones. The experience of the X is perfect for an everyday user, like most people are, and in my opinion that's what matters most in a phone. Again, I may have bias as this is my only phone I have been using.
[X 2014 General] ChristianPreachr:
Well, from the beginning of time until now, numbers haven't lied. That's not up for debate. But with user experience..I have to install nova launcher on the X because stock is lacking. The G2 (which I'm going to) offers equal speed. A smaller os, better battery and excellent build all while being a year older. The X while being customizable is just not enough for a power user.
[X 2014 General] _MetalHead_:
I never said numbers lie, but they aren't always representative of the actual experience that the phone provides. If numbers meant everything, than the iPhone would have the worst battery life and performance of any smartphone out there, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. The same applies to the X. While the Turbo has better numbers, the X has the better UX. I don't see how the X isn't enough for a power user, I'm the very definition of a power user and it is pretty much everything I can ask for in a smartphone, with storage being the sole exception. Who cares if you have to put Nova launcher on it? That has no bearing on the quality of the phone itself. At least it doesn't have a nasty UI like the G2 does, even Nova cant save it from LG's hideous software, not to mention the plastic fantastic build. But everybody is entitled to their own opinion. If you think the G2 will serve your needs better, than that's wonderful. For me, the X is where its at.
[X 2014 General] jineshpatel30:
hello guys ! i wanna upgrade to new device

and i'm confused between nexus 5 and moto x(2014) ?

i personally like pure vanilla aosp and this both have almost same though moto has some modification i don't think it will impact badly on performance ( does it? )

i love N5's fast update smooth performance even with some hardware compromises

but on other has moto x have better SD801 , and GUP freq 578 (vs 450 on N5) { will gaming performance be better ? } which in theory make it batter performance so if any anyone here can tell it's really an upgrade or i won't feel anything better

finally i like amoled but read somewhere that amoled pannel on moto x is worst qauily that samsung can make (really ?!!) , othere thing about camera ppl says it's 13MP is not as good as 8MP of N5 !! ( is it right ? ) and moto don't have notification led & OIS ( while taking pictures only does it matter ? )

so need your view should i go for moto X of stick again with relibale N5 ? will moto x be really upgrade ?

and how's lollipop on moto X ? ( i really like lollipop so hoping bugfree )

it will be really helpful if you can answer red marked questions
[X 2014 General] michyall:
old generation phone vs new one. I really have no doubt which one to buy between 2 candidates.

maybe take a look to lg products or htc but don't make a step into the past.
[X 2014 General] _MetalHead_:
I have and use both of those phones regularly and while the N5 is still a beast of a phone, the Moto X is easily the better of the two. The software mods that Motorola has done don't affect performance at all, and actually go a long way to making the Moto X what it is. Moto Display and Moto Voice are game changers. Gaming performance is great on both devices but slightly better on the Moto X. I can't say anything about lollipop because I don't like it at all and am keeping all my devices on KitKat indefinitely. If you get the X, which you should, make sure you buy the Pure Edition or at least one that's not branded by a carrier who doesn't allow bootloader unlocking. You need that unlockable bootloader in order to be able to root the phone.
[X 2014 General] jineshpatel30:
Well perfect timing !! i'm about to quoting you :p

carrier is not even option available in india... so i have to go with only what Motorola is providing directly.

other thing is moto X 32gb is not easily available here :( but i'm not fan of lot of music and videoss on phone i think 16 would be ok but i do like heavy games

things i like the most about X is screen off voice command and it's design and the thing i'll miss is notification led !

Well tough competition..

moto has great design , slight better specs but less dev support on xda while being nexus N5 has exceptional support and betrayed by samsung on my current phone i think this matters ( actully way too much :p ) i like to be upto date even when kickout from OTA ( probably next year ? )

Hi guys, I'm planning to get alpha or some similar phone, and yeah, i have YouTube channel and i m recording some ROM reviews and some things about phones, as i can see there's just one ROM in android development :( Will be there more, if yes i will pick this phone for sure, would you suggest me some other phone to pick instead this, that have great developer support? Its really disappointing that there's one rom just for alpha it is really beautiful phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] lingowistico:
Yeah it's too bad about the alpha but it seems right now people want 5 inch screens so it loses out on that. I would recommend the S5 or HTC one m8, both have great dev support. But the best idea is to wait for spring/summer when the S6 and the new HTC is released
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] KiaTheKing:
I really really like alpha :( Probably i will sell mine lg g2 for 250 euros and i will add 100 or less and buy lg g3, i will play with it for a while and then i will buy galaxy s6 or some phone that will come out :) I was thinking about xperia z3 or z3 compact , but z4 will come out in march (i think so) , also i dont like plastic galaxy s5 but i like htc one m8....
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gtrs36:

Perhaps preparing for 5.0 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] TheEndHK:
Since quite a lots of android users switched-to/switched-back Iphone now because of 4.7"/5.5" Iphone launched. You really don't expect any android discussion board will be as busy as in the old age, the time has gone. Another major reason is nowadays people slowly upgrade their smartphone because hardware is started to mature. When you look on XDA, you will know many new phones development board isn't that active now.

I'm now with Z1 Compact and also thinking to upgrade to Z3 Compact or Alpha or S6(if it manage to smaller than S5 in size a bit) in around March/April. I think mostly I will pick Z3c or Alpha because I believe S6 would be too expensive to me and excess my budget but I will put an eye on it. Z4/Z4c/Z4U is almost sure to hit a big delay now, they will all announce only on May/June sometimes. So, I decided to don't wait them now.

If you like Alpha, just go get it. It is a rare Samsung phone though almost no development here but the phone itself is very capable without any support. If you want a little bit bigger community and need a microSD slot, then pick Z3c.
