[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mousaalwaraki:
So i was going to install a new rom and i wiped the internal storage, I had done this before but adb had recognized my device and i was able to sideload a rom with no problem. However now when i try to sideload either my phone (m7) doesn't get recognized or i get an error "protocol fault (no status). And when i try to push a rom it says 'error:closed'. Please help as I am a beginner trying to learn as much as possible (and fix my phone :p). Thanks in advance.

For the life of me I can't understand why noobs are so impatiant and stupid to put it mildly, as Jasjamming put it "they want to have their cake and eat it"

Look at me I've been member since 2005 and I'm still classed as Junior Member (noob) (personally I would class my-self as being advanced user but hey who cares) and if you look at my profile since becoming a member I've only posted 20+.The point I'm trying to make is usually I do my own research, search the forum before posting thereby I can make an informed decision weather to flash,upgrade,mod etc......

And finaly Jasjamming I totally undertand how you feel, listen take your time and chillout with your missus and by the way I may not have your current Black 2 flashed on my phone it does not mean it's not a good ROM it's just that after flashing so many version of WM6 cooked ROM for me LVSW works the best on my device so far until the next one:-)

P.S. Moderators please please put restriction period before any noobs post in this forum coz at the end of the day XDA-Developers has reputation for being on of the best forum out there, lets not spoil it!

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prasad:
I'm specifically interested in audio port quality and volume. If any one has experienced sound on both these devices, please do comment.

I think almost everyone knows htc wins over xperia in audio...so decide cleverly both have their own features...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prasad:
Is there a newer gen phone in comparison to M8 audio at all?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
The G3 is supposed to have audio output as clear as the M8 but no integrated AMP.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richie5767:
At this rate, you're better off waiting for the new flagships to come out. MWC 2015 is in March so new phones are just over the horizon such as Xperia Z4, Galaxy S6, G4, etc.

But to answer your question, HTC One's audio quality is better. I see that your sig says HTC One M7. If you're in the market for a phone now I'd go with the Z3 or Galaxy S5 just to have a different taste of android (unless your a big fan of Sense).
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melogray:
In general the M8 is louder (both speakers and headphone output) and overall the sound is more crisp and punchy, but you have almost no control over it. The only thing you can do is turn off BoomSound, there's no equalizer and no additional settings. So personally I found that for specific kinds of music it sounds awesome, but it's just not as versatile as I'd want it to be.

Speaking of the Z3, in comparison to the M8 it lacks volume and punchiness, but overall it's more balanced and offers much more settings you can play with. You have manual EQ, several sound profiles and surround settings, and the Z3 supports digital noise cancelling, if that's important to you.

So they both have pros and cons, it comes down to your personal preferences. Overall I'd choose the Z3 over M8, not only for sound quality, but because in many other categories the Z3 is just better than the M8.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unmaskedfalesh:
Well as per my personal experience i would say the speakers in z3 is downside..its degrade over z2 which sounds n performs better... Using both i feel z3 speakers are inferior to z2 and also how much ever yhe quality of sound is..it should be loud enough fr that caliber of device although it's a water resistance device.. Sony should make it better...m8 is gud in audio..they hav built in amplifier so cant compare fully to z3..onlu thing i dnt like much about m8 is its ui..Xperia ui is best fr me..but if u really want better audio..go to store urself n see the difference.. Don't regret later..also u could wait for newer device launch...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prasad:
I did some in-store testing by myself. While the M8 was noticeably louder, the Z3 sounded more accurate and crisp to my ears. I got the Z3 :) Besides, the Z3 is pretty much superior in all the other areas. And I really couldn't wait longer for the market to produce exactly what I want. Everyone knows that never happens.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Glad you like it, enjoy!:)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melogray:
Can't really say that from my experience... Z3 is definitely an upgrade from the Z2. In all honesty (speaking of speaker quality) the Z3 sounds even better than my M7. :confused:
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prasad:
Personally, I couldn't care less about the external speaker quality. How often does one really use that anyway? It's the quality with headphones output that really matters to audiophiles :D
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unmaskedfalesh:
Well it completely depends upon the personal taste..but Z3 has gone down with latest update..lets hope lollipop does it away..waiting for the update ..but as per M7 my roommate has M7 dual and his half audio is equal to my Z3's full audio at ClearAudio+ thats what i hate...removing XLoud was a bad move from Sony..imo

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syserr:
Big question:

If I want a custom ROM that will run root Apps that modify /system, is S-OFF required? Or are there custom ROMs with non-secure kernels?

More minor questions:

When developers (for the M7 etc) put out a custom ROM...

Are all putting out a kernel? are some signed/unsigned? are some secure/insecure?

Must you use a stock-signed kernel if you support folks with S-ON?

Can you boot unsigned kernels with just HTCDev UNLOCKED (and S-ON)? I assume yes, isn't this what CWM and TWRP run on?

S-OFF defeats the secure-kernels ability to keep /system prestine?

Thanks so much!!!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
yes you can flash custom rom's with s-on and an unlocked bootloader, this is basically why HTC gave you the ability to unlock your bootloader, even they know most users use custom rom's and most are better than their own.

S-off is not required, however, s-off (security off) gives you the ability to do things like backflash, flash different RUU;s, and change firmwares, radios etc, but if you don't know what you are doing or unsure of yourself, it will also no longer stop you from flashing something wrong, making it very easy to mess up or even brick your phone.

and to answer your first question, ive yet to find a custom rom that doesn't come already rooted and with an unsecure kernel, but always be sure to read the op of which rom your interested in as it contains important instructions, even down to which version of recovery you should be using to flash the rom, you'd be very surprised about how many people actually get this wrong and then require help because their rom isn't booting because they couldn't be bothred to read the instructions, it will also state what type of kernel it comes with.

on a different note, you don't you don't have to flash a custom rom, if your happy with your current stock rom, you can just unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and then flash an unsecure kernel like elementalx or kangaroo kernel etc, TWRP recovery itself will set up root for you on exit.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syserr:
Thank you for your answer!

I'm beginning to think I don't need S-OFF. I want to be able to back flash and RUU back etc, but it's not necessary. I'm assuming you can back flash HBOOT, where as with S-ON you can never back flash HBOOT.

One thing concerns me... how are unsecure kernels made? (I believe ViperOne, was still secure when I was running it.) Do you have to compile from source? Or can your "unsecurize" a stock secure kernel? Or both?

Thanks!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
Its my belief that all kernals are built from the stock kernel or the kernel files available from the HTC Dev site, but as im not a developer I cant say for sure, although I would love to learn things like this I just don't have the time and know that it also requires Linux to build a kernal, im clueless when it comes to Linux, and yes it is possible to "unsecurize" a stock kernel, ModPack 007 for lollipop comes with the option to do this very thing, however don't start thinking that an unsecure kernel is so people can hack into your phone, or your phone is going to crash every 5 minutes, its not like that, its unsecure so that you can modify and replace system files etc, ie write protection removed = unsecure kernals.

Kernals like ElementalX and Kangaroo take the modding further than just removing write protection, they add many other features, which can generally be found in the op of each kernel.

If you want to back flash anything, HBOOT, Firmware, RUU etc then you need S-off full stop, theres no other way to do it.

As for S-on, I hate it, I feel totally locked down, im a very big HTC fan and cant wait for the M9, ive owned many HTC's and pretty much the first thing I do after unpacking it and messing about with it for a couple of hours is s-off it, it free's the phone up for anything, however if your not careful and don't know what your doing, you can very easily kill it, s-off means security off, so your device is no longer protected from a bad flash, with s-on it will just error out and boot again in most cases, s-off however in the same situation will turn your nice phone into a paper weight.

when I first got my HTC one M7 it came with HBOOT 1.56, very hard to s-off, firewater was the only tool that could do it, and kept failing, I must of flashed 50+ (probably and exaggeration) rom and kernel combinations to try and get firewater to work, all failed, this was before sunshine s-off was about, thankfully I found a shop in Sheffield which did it by java card, as I travel up there quite a bit it wasn't an issue to get it s-off'd next time I went up there.

Anyone please feel free to correct me if any of this is wrong, like I said im not a dev and its all a learning curve.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syserr:
Thanks for all the great info.

I should have clarified my concern about an unsecure kernel. Not that I was worried about getting hacked etc... More I was worried that my options would be limited to only ROMs with a limited number of unsecure kernels. If creating an unsecure kernel was difficult, I'd worry about a shortage. Booting into TWRP for unsecure kernel so I can modify /system is very restrictive to someone that is not used to it.

I compiled my first Linux kernel in 1995. ;) I too want freedom. "Android" is a big field... but HTC and HBOOT are really outside of my Android experience -- it's great to learn so much. Thanks!

Today I have released my document scanning app on Android after coming to 2 realizations about current document scanning apps on Google Play:

1) The Pro versions are way too expensive.

2) The current scanning apps are too convoluted and required "figuring out".

So focusing on simplicity, as well as having an affordable Pro version, I began work 3 months ago on SimplyScan. I would love any feedback I could possibly get, as I'll be aggressively turning out updates since it's a new release!

Good morning. Gave your app a try. The interface is very nice and modern. I am left with some questions...

Where are the documents saved once the scan is completed? I see I can export them to my phone, but could not find them locally beforehand.

Is there any OCR abilities in the paid version? I couldn't find such in the free version.

Thank you.

I'm giving this a try now! I use a scanner app SEVERAL times a day, on several different document types. I currently use 4 different apps (Cam Scanner, Turbo Scan are the main ones) and I will definitely be using this today. I have a Nexus 5, and HTC One M8, I'm on the Nexus today, but I will let you know how it works on the HTC when I switch back.

PS - LOVE the philosophy and passion behind this app.

[Android Apps and Games] AggieDev:
OCR is currently in the works! The documents themselves consist of images and some minor data, so any of them can be retrieved by exporting, if you want the images themselves select "Photo" or "ZIP file of photos" when exporting.
[Android Apps and Games] Cloonix:
Can you point out the features which makes it better than the Google Drive Scanning?

Much appreciated! Please do let me know of any suggestions you have since you have a lot of experience with other apps out there, I want to update the app with user-requested features as they come.
[Android Apps and Games] AggieDev:
Drive essentially has the basic scanning feature without the freedom of doing multiple things with your documents, with my app you can export to other formats than PDF (such as a ZIP file of the photos), you can fine tune the image effects, and you can apply various settings to your PDF before you export.

Is it possible to add native cloud integration? I know that it is easy to 'Android share' the documents after they are scanned, but it would be great if we could choose to always save (and sync) scanned documents to specific folders in Google Drive (or Dropbox, OneDrive, etc). This is basically what CamScanner does, although for some reason they insisted on using their own cloud instead of the numerous other cloud providers out there.
