Hey guys.

I currently have an I9505 S4 and was looking at getting a new phone, I'm thinking of the S4 but is it worth it, or should I wait until the S6?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josborne6:
S6 will most likely be available next month. I would wait if I were you unless you want the Note 4 now. If the S6 gets an OIS camera, it will be worth it just for that. The S5 camera is lackluster. Biggest improvement in the note 4 imo was the camera.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ash123456678:
Hey

The note 4 is pretty good... I got an upgrade from the i9505 and I was impressed with the note 4 but I wasn't 100% satisfied... The performance feels pretty much the same and there are some roms for the i9505 that makes it pretty much exactly the same as the note 4 :/ personally, I don't use the health stuff or the finger scanner so they don't matter to me but I do enjoy using the spen a lot for playing games and typing is more enjoyable too by writing :) it's really a case of whether or not you want the spen... The s6 will be 64-bit and there's rumours saying that it'll have a new touchwiz and it'll have a new design. Apparently the new design will be aluminium and glass which probably means the battery won't be removable if that matters to you. I love my note 4, the design is absolutely amazing and the performance is brilliant and 64-bit probably won't make any difference to phones within the 2 year lifespan of the note 4. At the end of the day, the biggest deciding factor is the screen size and the spen :) it feels a little like Samsung wants to abandon the note 4 though with all the delays with the lollipop update :/ it sort of feels like they don't care.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alessandro_xda:
since the s6 will be announced in a couple of weeks you can wait and then decide (to be honest i've never been able to wait for the next phone to be announced :D)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archiimonde:
If your phone is working fine, I would've waited, since we don't know for sure what the S6 brings to the table. It sucks if you buy the Note 4 now, and regret it when the S6 is announced. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyb:
If you have no real use for the s-pen like some, I would definitely wait for the S6 . I know I will be preordering it as soon I can, and of course I will do the same as soon I can order the Note 5 :D:angel:
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Exactly! The S6 launch is too close to buy a phone right now, before finding out what the S6 has to offer.

I switched from an i9505 to a Note 4 and I found the difference huge in terms of performance. I quite like the bigger screen, better battery life, the S-Pen, etc. But those may not be important to everyone, it's a matter of personal preference.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zikay:
How much is note 4?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alessandro_xda:
are you really asking the community to look for the best price of the note4 in your country?:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imlgl:
S pen doesn't really bother me, the s6 gets announced in 2 weeks so I may as well wait and see if it's worth investing. Had my s4 for nearly 2 years. It's still zippy but it'd be nice to have a new phone haha
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mklass:
If you want a big display and S-Pen get the note. If those 2 aren't a concern for you then I'd suggest waiting.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnghty:
I'd wait either for the S6, or better yet for a 810 SD phone- Flex2
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipsuvedi:
Short and sweet

Wait till S6 releases (just 15-16 days)..and compare Note 4 and S6... then choose whatever attracts you most...thill then N4 price will also drop little bit. Then you will be at better state to judge.

So i say wait and watch for some days! :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exclass:
Phones get upgraded so often. It depends on how much money you want to spend. When S6 comes out don't buy it dude, wait for the note 5, S6 specs will be ''outdated'' when note 5 comes out (sarcasm). Galaxy S series is different from note series. I think its stupid comparing 2 phones of these different sizes and productivity, but people only want to be cool and have the latest phone. There is nothing Note 4 can't handle and won't be anything it can't handle for quite a long time for sure. If you dont care about money then wait for S6. If you do, take the note 4, which I think will be better at the end of the day.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hello00:
id wait for the s6
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Da-BOSS:
For me I'm already waiting for S6 once it's released [Can't wait!] I got S4 I9500 Exynos & it's been 3 years and still gives me solid performance and durability. My advice is to wait for S6 then decide which one you will choose.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zurkx:
i upgraded from the symbian nokia n8 to the note 4. other than the larger screen a 5 yr gap was not THAT much of an improvement. i would wait until the note 6 to upgrade. personally i am going to replace my note 4 with a note 8 or equivalent when it comes out in 2018 or so.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbedard:
No dont i have one and it sucks all around
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bekasulaberidze:
I recommend you to wait to Note5, I upgraded from note 3 but I think it's downgrade not an upgrade, Note3 was the best smartphone, I'm not satisfied with this device
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hello00:
i wouldnt get the s6 if it comes out with a display smaller than the note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
I don't even bother with s series anymore. Note series kicks ass and the note 4 is the best yet.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POLO_i780:
+1000

Going to the S series would be a big step backward, I'm not even interested in the S6, I just want to see the new TouchWiz UI, but I'll be getting the Note 5 later this year.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayesh:
Might as well wait for the s6, which is around the corner.

However that said, given the sheer redundancy of processor power now days, if you want grab the note 4. It's a big honkin phone with flagship features and a best of breed android camera. Build quality is excellent and so is standby, talktime and actual usage. I am ditching my lollipop s5 for it, to use alongside my 6 plus.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordoftheriffs:
Get the Note, you should find it much cheaper than when s6 is out, plus it has the big screen, s-pen, great battery, and honestly I don't think it is slow at all, just get the Exynos version.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
Should always wait. S6 has the potential to blow the Note 4 out of the water. If it's 64 bit and 4gb ram, with a 5.5 inch screen i'd take it over the Note unless you use the stylus. Which I only use for doodling.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Where have you been all this while ? ;)

You already missed two major updates.

You have two choices (actually three choices but I keep one as I see that you're very new here)

1. Restore 2.22.401.5 backup and fastboot flash the stock recovery and do multiple OTA updates from 2.22.401.5 up to the latest lollipop 4.16.401.10

Here are the needed files : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54953139&postcount=1676

2. Make a backup of your internal storage as this will wipe everything in your device.

Relock bootloader and run RUU : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B17smFr95pleeTQ5U1NzNkZzM0U/view

Up to you which you prefer.

Read on many threads about these, I have to be away for few hours. Any question hopefully someone else will assist you.

On post #7 I mentioned how to. Just don't download that backup and recovery, use the one that I gave earlier.

He started with 1.60.708.2 but yours is 2.22.401.5, so change those numbers 1.60.708.2 with yours 2.22.401.5 when you read it.

I would like to modify my PDA behaviour:

2- Modify the menù i see on the desktop, such as menù entries like MSN pocket PC etc...

3- Eliminate cprog.exe from startup, i don't want it, i would like to start my own application instead.

[General Topics] Marzullo:
At least...

If i can't remove cprog.exe, at least i would like to remove the signal quality icon on the top right of the screen and the warning balloon coming from cprog.exe. Or... is there a way to cover all the screen (also the taskbar) with my application GUI?

Thx.
[General Topics] hanmin:
If you can make a dummy exe and have it named cprog.exe, just copy it over. When the OS saw that there is a file with the same name in the storage (and also one in ROM), the OS will launch the one in storage instead of the ROM. Now, it is a matter of getting a dummy EXE.

Just incase, backup your system first.
[General Topics] Marzullo:
Thx for help...

Are you sure i can overwrite cprog.exe inside \Windows directory?

I cannot move/copy or delete it. The OS is saying i cannot copy

file and resources present in ROM :|.

How do i backup my system, if i overwrite it, how i get it back?
[General Topics] hanmin:
First, backup. Use backup software such as SPB Backup your system. If things went seriously wrong, you will hardreset your phone, and use the backup EXE file to restore your phone. Just make sure you backup before modifying.

You can use software such as Total Commander for PPC to over write the EXE. I'm very sure (been there, done that) it can over write (cover up) files in ROM, but I'm not sure if it is possible to write over an EXE that is currently running. Try your luck. To recover the overwritten (e.g. original) EXE, just delete it (e.g. delete the new, modified EXE) to expose the original EXE inside the ROM.
[General Topics] levenum:
There should be no problem overwriting a ROM exe once even if its running. The change will simply not take effect until you reset the device.

To disable it though, you will have to rename the exe first (you will not be able to delete your copy while it is running) then reset so the original will be called instead.

And just to make it clear: you will not overwrite anything. A copy of the file will be created in your storage memory. The original system file will remain as it is, it will simply be "hidden" until you remove your copy.

The backup hanmin suggested is for your data and installed apps. If you are still at the stage were you are experimenting with the phone and don't mind getting it back to factory settings if something goes wrong you can skip it.

What you should investigate though is the notification system. It is somewhere there that cprog.exe is triggered in the first place and if you want your app to pop up instead on incoming call you will most likely have to register a notification for it.

(Though I do not have much experience with TAPI, so I am not really sure about this)

What I do know for a fact is that opening a full screen window (covering both top and bottom bars) is very easy:

Right after the window is created (not in WM_CREATE handler) call SHFullScreen API.
[General Topics] Marzullo:
Thanks, it worked fine, i've just built a dummy exe with a little main returning 0 immediately. And when services.exe starts it, it just returns 0.

I suppose if i hard reset my device cprog become the original.

What kind of APIs should i call to customize taskbar look and feel?
[General Topics] Marzullo:
Thank you for help.

I'm just dealing with cprog.exe becouse it is dropping the data call i make using RIL api. This happens becouse cprog.exe is taking the ownership of the call through TAPI, so since there is no other application using TAPI, cprog.exe believes it's the only owner so it just drops the call. Since i'm not using TAPI but RIL i cannot claim for the call ownership while answering the call. The process cprog.exe gives problems only for answering incoming calls.

The only solution i found is to kill cprog.exe or just replace it with a dummy exe as explained here. That's why i was asking for it. Now my RIL application works fine and i don't need to kill cprog.exe/TSP anymore within my code. I'm forced to use RIL instead of TAPI becouse TAPI doesn't expose some bearer options i can set through RIL.

Bye.
[General Topics] levenum:
Here is the article abut customizing the taskbar. Unfortunately, as far as I know there are no APIs to deal with it (short of sticking an annoying notification icon there), you have to replace the whole thing or whatever parts of it you do not like with a child window (see LVMTime and LVMTopBat).

Hello,

in the near future I will try to unlock and root my international HTC One M7. Because I don't have many experiance with rooting (so far I have rooted only one phone (HTC Desire Z) a few years ago) I would apriciate some help and tips.

I have seen some nice video tutorials how to unlock and root HTC M7 on xda website:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
If you are 100% stock at the moment then wait for the Lollipop update which should come to your phone very very soon, because once you root, the update will fail, due to unlocking the bootloader which resets the phone and also deletes the data / preload folder required to update.

However to root, just unlock your bootloader at HTCDev, during the process it will give you sone ADB and fastboot files, keep these, you will need them, then flash TWRP recovery, enter recovery, exit recovery, it will ask you if you want to root before exiting, say yes, when the phone reboots, open SuperSU to update your binary, done.
