I tried installing the files above, as OzVGA had always been somewhat a mixed bag of giddiness and disappointment for me.

In the end, I've had to uninstall TrueVGA as well, mainly because my signal meters and start menu icon etc etc would not show. I installed in the correct order and yet still nothing.

As a seasoned XDA-er, is there a trick I'm unwittingly missing?

Cheers

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] shockboy2000:
didnt lose my signal icon, but the one telling me if its G or 3G, connected to HSDPA etc seems to come and go now, rather than always be there as expected.

other than that, and some of the settings pages being messed up, works nicely.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] chrisoyh:
Yeah, for my case, my data connection icon always display itself as trying to connect to a WiFi network even though that's not true. Some of the settings screens are badly messed up, as you have mentioned.

I have another query: does the Side Display works in true VGA mode?

I tried to attach the keyboard to the screen but nothing comes up.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] bigsmart:
The Keyboard did not work. I use the Resco Keyboard it is much better than the original.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] chrisoyh:
Oh, I wasn't referring to the software keyboard input. I mean, when you attached the hardware keyboard onto the screen of the Athena, there will be one strip of visible space of the screen that shows some status like time, messages etc.

It works in normal VGA mode, but I cannot get the display in true VGA mode.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Buch070:
The "one strip of visible space of the screen" works ok in a true VGA mode in mine device. You should not attach but close by the keyboard the screen. Sometimes it doesn't show the white strip, but try to move a little bit the keyboard, because it reacts to by sencors to magnets on the keyboard.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] chrisoyh:
Yeah, you're right. I need to move the keyboard around until the display comes on. Thanks!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
My Comm Manager, phone pad, Connection icon (E (edge), etc) and password screen don't display properly. Did you have these issues and if so, how did you fix them?

Also, what did you use to create your theme? I want to create a new theme for the newer resolution.

Thanks in advance.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Pyrofer:
When I last used real VGA mode it was on my Universal.. Again there were icon problems, but on this very forum there were VGAFILES packs that had file to put in the windows directory that replaced the missing icons.

I cant remember the exact details, but I suggest people having problems look through the Universal forum for VGA info as there was a LOT there.

Hope this helps.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cornelius:
I have all about VGA screen's file for my universal. But since i still waiting for my athena, i can't decided wich file is needed. Just icon or something?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] charlie.s:
Is anyone using SPB Mobile Shell with any of the VGA apps? If I have it loaded on the today screen, the pda locks up when it tries to dispay the Today screen. The only fix thus far is to remove it from the Today screen.

Thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Mahmood:
yes u are right the pda locks when using SPB Mobile shell. i have a question about the keyboard how to use it because in true VGA mode i see NO keyboard its white space with no letters and also can someone confirm if resco keyboard can be used in trueVGA mode?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] bigsmart:
I´am using the Resco keyboard and it works fine.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] chrisoyh:
For phone pad, go to here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1215265&postcount=6 and download the CAB file, install it, and place a shortcut in the "Start Up" folder so it will be loaded after every soft reset.

Is your Backlight settings screen working fine? Mine is very messed up.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] hammermedia:
My backlight settings are messed up too.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] TigerTim36:
I've not used TrueVGA, Wisbar Advanced and Wisbar Desktop....although I have downloaded the demos of each.... Would you advise me to install the programs even though there are some compatibility errors??? Is it worth it and why?? Sorry if this is a repeat question!!

Many Thanks

Tim
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
I had to hard reset due to an ActiveSync issue. I tried reinstalling the VGA files but it freaked out the phone so I removed them. I'm going to try to reinstall tonight and get this working. I really want to use my phone in true VGA.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
I think it's worth it. Even though there are small bugs, the phone is still usable. Especially worth it if you really want to fit more items onto your screen. I'm going to get mine working. Just makes things so much easier and better looking.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
Nope, my backlight screen is all screwed up. Thanks for the heads up.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
Install of VGA files...

Learned something important tonight. DO NOT install the VGA files to the MicroDrive. I didn't try to install to SC Card. When I installed to the MicroDrive it freaked out, had more problems displaying certain icons and I couldn't switch between regular and VGA mode.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] bigsmart:
Use VJBigPhone to fix the phone skin.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
I did, thanks!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] bigsmart:
You´ re welcome ;-)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] chrisoyh:
I am using TrueVGA with Wisbar Advanced Desktop (trial) and everything works great so far. But I am keeping my fingers crossed for the moment. :D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] TigerTim36:
Thanks Chrisoyh, are you experiencing any of the problems mentioned so far.... comm manager icons and back light etc?

Thanks

Tim
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] chrisoyh:
Yes, Comm Manager, Backlight, Battery, Wifi Settings and even QuickGPS screens are messed up. I think as long as there is an icon in the settings page, it will generally not turn up well.

But I can live with most of it, except for the Backlight, which totally doesn't work for me.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] hammermedia:
Check out this thread for VGA Backlight and Power.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=250640

I extracted the rar file to the X7500 My Documents synchronized folder. I highlighted the file then pressed F2 to rename it and added VGA to the front of the filename. Like VGABacklight.exe.0409.mui.exe Do the same rename for Power.

Add a shortcut using your launcher and then you should be set.

They are VGA only apps so you still need the orignal ones when not using ozVGA or MrVga.
[XDA Assist] ParadoxInfinite:
Hey, I have a Micromax Canvas 2 Colors phone. And there are very less developers or porters for this phone. I've seen a couple of threads in XDA about porting roms and stuff. I wanted to know is it possible for me to port a rom from Moto G II Gen to my phone? Every spec is the same except for the processor. I've got a Mediatek one while the Moto G has a qualcomm one. Both are Cortex - A7. I'm new to XDA as well as porting and stuff. Any help will be really appreciated.
[XDA Assist] Negan:
I do not recommend trying this if you`re not experienced. However a good place to start is here

That is full of information you can check out

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Also, isn't it actually a better idea to upload these builds in our thread?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Definitely. But can I access your thread's XDA DevDB file hosting service?

And what does that vendor_cm commit does?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Activates SuperSU also on user builds :).

I'm sure I gave you access when I started the thread, for some reason it disappeared. All should be fine now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Didn't know it was possible to allow someone else to upload to your thread lol

Will close this thread asap, I agree this additional thread will only cause confusion :silly:

And I honestly would like to still keep user builds without root access as actually some people need it this way, heavy banking apps users and such..

SuperSU has addon.d script. I think user builds without root access won't cause much stress between both worlds :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Sure thing, my vendor_cm repo is not included in our official manifest, as it's only for me and my AD.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Added a sticky note to your OP and "Unofficial nightly builds" post.

I don't know if I should touch that "Weekly 2.1" title, so I left it where it was.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theinternetisyourfriend:
i suppose i have a couple of questions really, and they confound me greatly=).

Occasionally when i am listening to music on the phone (i finally decided on rocket player after much ado), the phone tries to record me.(ok google. i've...mostly?...disabled it?) I don't know if this is a hardware(as in the headphone jack) or software issue...but it bugs the heck out of me.

Happens over and over again. I've managed to disable the error message and so forth but am not sure why i can't make it go away.

The second issue is that the only Windows computer I have in the house is an ancient xp desktop(ive got a win7 laptop that that is quite new but it's not set up for it yet been busy) that is disconnected from the internet for good reason. I used it to root the phone, fix the softbricks that i accidentally did (learning curve etc). But once I installed a 128 gig sd expansion, it would no longer recognise either phone hard drive in usb debug mode(they show up as identical unrecognisable 32 gig drives). I've gotten around this with stickmount, but it is also irritating. EDIT: Installed lg g3 drivers on laptop. Doesn't recognise the phone period. XP computer recognises the drives but cannot see the contents

Third question. The xda app stopped working on my phone, and i can't figure out why. It's one of the few apps that has enough permissions to access internet etc.

Last one. What's the best custom lollipop firmware...i only ask this as an addendum bc i haven't had time to look at them recently, still using kitkat. The fact that phone is no longer recognized by computer also makes this process more difficult if i screw it up

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shalabhawasthi:
Hi All,

This is the first time I ever tried to install CWM in order to install Lollipop in my Samsung Galaxy Note 1 (N7000) [India]. I flashed ROM "T210.CWM.6.0.4.5.recovery.tar" (attached with thread) using Odin. Uncheked Auto-Reboot option. When I re-started my mobile it shows Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 in startup screen with exclamaion (warning) symbol on startup. After a couple of seconds I can see only horizontal lines and phone shuts down. I see battery charging screen for a second and then device get shutdown. Now Odin cannot detect it and ADB sometimes shows it as offline. Is there any way to fix this problem? Please reply asap. Thanks in advance.

Warm Regards
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P_Wheeler:
You need to boot into recovery and flash the ROM from TWRP

Most stock Samsung ROMs dont support custom recovery

Chuck the ROM and the other things you want (Gapps, SuperSU) but make sure they are the right ones for the device and then put them on an external sd card and insert it, there are plenty of tutorials on flashing too

I noticed that the recovery you linked is for a T210, by my knowledge thats for a Galaxy Tab 3 7.0? Which i have running NoleKat 4.4 btw

If it is for another device than yours then its not great news.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMaddTraxx:
As P_Wheeler said, your recovery file is for a different phone , this will create unstable systems / bootloops / errors.... F

irstly make sure you can get your phone back to stock, then flash the right recovery tru ODIN, and install your ROM in recovery...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HzMeister:
Like most people, usually when I go to install a new rom, I just boot into recovery and format system/data/cache...etc before the installation. Unfortunately, this method is not as thorough as I would like and a lot of stuff is left behind. Therefore, I'm looking for a method that essentially erases everything but the bootloader. From what I understand, the only way to accomplish this is through adb.

So I have a few questions:

What are the adb commands to delete everything in preparation of a completely fresh install? - rom,kernel,recovery,radio etc...

Will this affect essential parameters such as booting into the bootloader, battery stats,charging,hardware interface, etc?( I would like to avoid messing with anything like that)

These are the following files that I have:

cwm_recovery.img

stock_rom.zip

custom_kernel.zip

stock_radio.zip

After deleting everything, I assuming the first thing to install would be the recovery image - from which the remaining zip files can be installed(in the order listed?).

How do you install the aforementioned recovery.img using adb?

What are the adb commands to push the remaining zip files onto the internal sd card?(no external sd available)

But if I deleted everything, would an sdcard still be mounted? If not, what are the adb commands to remount everything needed for the remaining items?

Lastly, is there a better way of doing this?

I know it's a lot to cover but after searching through many forums and blog posts, I can't seem to find any info on doing exactly this. Just bits and pieces about adb commands and troubleshooting botched installs of various devices. So any info would be appreciated.

So tonight, sometime in the last two hours, my phone, for no apparent reason has done a complete factory reset.

I came home and put my phone on the counter after I'd been using it to listen to Spotify in the car. I watched a show with my wife then was about to go to bed so I went over to pick up my phone. I turn the display on and it's asking me to choose my default language. The setup wizard was running. So I just did a reboot of the phone.

Well, my phone is back to complete stock and EVERYTHING is gone. For absolutely no reason. I tried to boot into recovery. I used to have TWRP. Nope, it's gone too. I am back to stock recovery. Seriously this is the weirdest thing I have EVER seen.

What the F**K????
[Verizon LG G3] tatootie67:
Did anyone own the phone prior to you? Android device manager?
[Verizon LG G3] banderberg:
I am the first owner, but I found out what happened.

My phone as a swipe pattern unlock code on it. My wife for whatever reason thought she'd see if she could crack it while I was upstairs and after 10 retries the phone shut down and did a factory reset. Which I have to say is the most insane security feature I have ever heard of.

[Verizon LG G3] bpyazel:
Hopefully nothing important was on the external SD card. This wipes it. Dumbest thing on this phone. It wipes the external SD but leaves the internal one intact.

Had this happen to me once. Had all my backups on the external SD too. Was so pissed. Still haven't found a way to disable it.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
And if your phone is stolen and you don't have access to android device manager, then what? It's called protection.

Now, a better way might have been like the iPhone where it locks the phone indefinitely and the ONLY recourse is to do a factor reset, period. In other words, it doesn't automatically wipe the device. It forces the user to do so and Apple nor the provider have any means to unlock it once it gets to that stage.

However, you could at least hook it up to your pc, I believe, and still at least get your photos off of it.
