You know, i think we "could" mess with EXTrom...but totalcommander method seems to make thing f up... i always get messy names, sizes, if i am trying to copy sometihng there....

is it locked or what...IDEAL thing, anichillus, would be making CLEAN ROM, as clean ,as it can be, then cook SOME extroms to make people happy AT LAST :D....

rethink it, its method for makin everyone happy...(or not..?).

Strange, i have 42 mA idle, but battery still drops...maybe i just must discharge to max, then recharge... not sure 'bout it...

Xplore is just awesome, waiting for 2.0, but for gods sake, make it clean... :D

btw, with wizard's love ROM flashing method i have THAT extROM, when i flash xplore, so its rather useless(what is in that extrom inside), but that 35% CPU usage is gone... plz give some links to FLASHABLE ext ROMS here plz...

thanks, m8, i just used wizards love ext rom, and aborted autorun.exe after flashing x-plore..safe...at last.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
I'm glad this has helped some people:)

I think what many of you are describing is the best way: Downgrade to a rom that includes an extended rom, then upgrade to x-plore, and abort the extended rom installation by soft reset at the "installing customizations" screen.

If you are sophisticated enough to be able to design and flash your own extended rom as per Faria's sticky in the upgrading section, that should work too. Then you could let the customizations run.

Resist the temptation to delete the extended rom with total commander because you're not using it. (Unless you just want to prove it to yourself, and don't mind reflashing and reinstalling!)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nothin:
i am reconsidering making ext rom on my own.. but geez.. i must stop FLASHING for some time lol :)

any thing made by tottal commander on ext rom lead to battery problems - 30-35% cpu usage ALL the time etc...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] danik_iceman:
Do you think it is safe to abort the extened rom installation by softresesting?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
Sure, I do it all the time. In fact I recommend it unless you WANT the customizations and programs loaded in there to run. It saves memory and avoids conflicts between rom upgrades/changes. Some rom cookers do put things in there which they would like people to try and those should be considered as part of their package. Others take a viewpoint of putting everything they feel is important into the "Rom" itself. (i.e. x-plore) However, it is always "safe" to abort the extended rom loading, you just may have to do some customizations yourself. (Carrier settings, dial skins, stuff like that) Try it both ways and see what you prefer.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
I too experienced just now some problems when messing with the extended rom.

Why the f** this thing happens ?

The only thing I did was to unlock the extended rom from the rgu's so it would be directly accessible without any other program, simple, with file explorer

First time it started, it was ok, I could browse the Extended Rom, no problems. I did a soft reset, and after that the Extended Rom changet it's name to Extended Rom2 and nothing was to be seen in it. After another soft reset, I could see files, but it was giberish ... and boom, the cpu stable at 20% ...

I need to fix this. My rom doesn't has the extended rom in the windows dir so G4 can use it and also seems easy for me to place cabs

The battery drain/Cpu usage issue anyway, i solved it. The first time I did this :)

I flashed the TMob 2.26 and after that I flashed again my rom(meantime I removed the settings unlock for ext rom). Now it's working great again.

Any thoughts ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
Sorry for the double post,

Man, not every customisation should be aborted...not wise at all

You can skip those who you know for sure that do not affect the stability of your rom...those that don['t mess with registry and fixes.

I for example have put some fixes in the "ext rom" (the one in windows) with some important fixes.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
No problem with the double reply. My experience is that the extended rom unlocker are not true unlockers, in that the extended rom cannot be written to reliably except by flashing. But you can delete files from them, or more likely corrupt files in them by trying. If you do attempt to write to the extended rom "on the fly", it will look like it has worked until you do a soft reset. Probably the files go into a temporary storage memory although I haven't researched it deeply. I think your extended_rom2 problem has to do with the "real" extended rom being corrupted, and inaccessable. If I remember, the device then creates another on the sd card or something like that. (There is a thread in the upgrade section about the extended rom unlocker where this stuff is discussed).

As far as skipping the customizations, I agree that if the cooker has placed settings, etc in there they should be run. However, many cooks leave the extended rom alone, which can cause confusion when say a T-Mobile rom is initially there, and the T-Mobile customizations get run on top of the custom rom, (or Cingular, or whatever) unless that is what the owner wants. It might be helpful if the chef is explicit about it during the initial posting of the download link.

Has anyone tried the new build yet? I just noticed it about a week ago.

I was using...

Ver. 1.04.201 beta3 build 0178​

The new one is...

It has increased the battery life for me and is more accurate at updating the battery strength as well.

i dont know anything about wakelocks, i installed wakelock detector but it will need some time.

i also flashed my phone pretty often lately, trying out cm12. via twrp i wiped the phone and installed the rom, to restore kitkat (which is of course my every day rom) i did not flash but recover from a backup created before installing cm12.

i deleted fb messenger since i dont really use it and it seems to drain a lot of battery, since then the phone isnt getting as warm. charging time is also better

Hello

I would like some help if possible. My z ultra c6802 4.4.4 (108 I think) has a broken proximity sensor, that is, doesn't turn off during a call when having it on my ear. Tried: a)downgrade to 4.2.2 and recalibreating it (passed with green but no fix),b) repair through PC companion(no luck either). Any ideas from your experience before I give it to Sony(the phone is new and out of the box but passed DOA) for repair, although I am afraid to do so as I requested a unlock code from them (Sony)and this brings me to a rather nasty spot although its obvious I got it like this ,just haven't noticed it in time for DOA.

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] ahmedbatty:
Hi,

I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus GT-I9105 (JB 4.2.2) with CWM and now i'm planning to install a ROM compatible with my phone which has Android version 4.4 or 5.0.

I stumbled upon the following articles here on XDA:

[ROM][4.4.2][UNOFFICIAL]Cyanogenmod 11 - Pg. 178 | Samsung Galaxy S II Plus | XDA Forums

[ROM][4.4.4][UNOFFICIAL][M12]Cyanogenmod 11.… | Samsung Galaxy S II Plus | XDA Forums

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 12.0 [20150207… | Samsung Galaxy S II Plus | XDA Forums

Can somebody tell me:

How is it's interface? Is it Stock Android interface or some other?

The installation method on the pages mentioned above say "Optionally install the Google Apps Addon". What is this Google Apps Addon?

If I install CM, which version would you prefer? CM11 with Android 4.4.2? CM11 with Android 4.4.4? CM12 with Android 5.0.2?

If I don't get the Stock Android interface, how do I get it on the ROMs provided on the above mentioned links? (if I install one of them)

Can I get back to the Stock ROM through Odin?

Are there any risks?

Please give me any information about this because I am new to rooting.

Once I have enough information, I will install CM and I will reply the results here.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] TechLife:
Hey ahmedbatty !

Basically CyanogenMod is built upon the source code of the open source release of Google’s Android,

which is also known as Android Open Source Project or AOSP. CyanogenMod provide users with better or extra features, which are not found in the original or stock versions of Android.

CyanogenMod comes with numerous built-in features which are not found in Google’s version of Android or in stock versions created by various mobile phone manufacturers and carriers.

Specially its clean from unnecessary bloatware you are stuck with in stock versions.

You can Customize everything in CyanogenMod as Per Your Choice......

[ROM][4.4.2][UNOFFICIAL]Cyanogenmod 11 is Based on Android Kitkat 4.4.2(Older Version).

[ROM][4.4.4][UNOFFICIAL]Cyanogenmod 11[M12] is Based on Android KITKAT 4.4.4 (Newer than Kitkat 4.4.2) based on Dalvik Run-time.

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 12.0 is Based On Current Android OS Called Android Lollipop 5.0(based on ART Run-time).

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 12.0 is Stable & best Android Lollipop ROM for Samsung Galaxy S-II Plus GT-I9105/I9105P.

Your Queries :

If you look & Read Carefully Than POST # 2 of that Thread tell the Story & See below Attachments For CM12 Interface .

[youtube]watch?v=KbMTvdbWTCE[/youtube]

It means Google Stock Apps like "Google Chrome, Google Docs, Google Earth, Google Drive, Google Keep, Google Keyboard,Google Maps, Google Play Services or vice Versa.

If you don't want All Google Apps than by Choice You Can Install Google-Apps Addon.

Here is Link to OFFICIAL Up-to-Date PA-GOOGLE APPS /Addons

I'll Prefer [ROM][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 12.0 .

It's Nearly Stock Interface but if you are not Satisfied than You Can Easily Install Themes VIA CynogenMod 12.0 Theme Engine Included in that ROM.Search Out Play Store You Can Also Retain the Original & Current Galaxy Touchwiz Interface without compromising the Performance by Theme like TouchWiz Style CM12 Theme:victory:

:good:Yes If you Do Backup of Previous ROM or Sammobile have Official Samsung's Firmwares.

Sorry :confused: I don't get it...

I hope it'll solve your problem,Goodluck :)

Hello, i Own a mid-range phone.

it is rooted and i am using "Disable Service" app to disable some of Google Services that i don't use to minimize battery drain and RAM usage.

I disabled some services like " Analytic Data, Dispatching Service, GoogleLocationService ".

that led to decrease in RAM usage and better Performance in the overall.

but since then the battery usage show 70% google play services, and 30% Distributed among the others"

with a rate of 1% each 30 min when screen is OFF.

So, i am asking if disabling service can cause more battery drain maybe because a Loop effect where app keep asking for something i disabled then re-ask, re-ask in a infinite loop ? or maybe it's something else ?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsrz:
Hi,

I´ve had a problem for about a month now. I always look for the solution before even thinking about creating a new thread, but this time I´m stumped, I really don´t know what to do. I have a HTC One M8 Developer Unlocked edition; I bought it off of Amazon. A few months ago I rooted it because I wanted to use Pushbullet. After a few tries I got it working with TWRP.

A few weeks ago I learned that Lollipop was being released and I wanted to upgrade my phone, unfortunately you can´t get it unless the phone is unrooted, so I tried that. I followed theunlockr guide "How to unroot the htc one m8" up to the point of switching S-ON.

After that I tried to upgrade to Lollipop, it didn´t work. The phone would get stuck in the installing screen, and then a red triangle with an exclamation mark would appear. This has happened every single time I tried to install the upgrade.

After that I tried to reset to factory using RUU, but I couldn´t do it. I got the error 150… Now I have a supposedly stock ROM but I can´t install Lollipop… Can you help me? This whole story comes to this.. How can I revert my M8 back to stock so I can get Lollipop?

Right now it has S-ON, if that helps.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my English, it´s not my native language.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
1. There is no need to change S-Off to S-On

2. There is no need to unroot when you're not sure how-to

3. When the phone get stuck in the installing screen, and then a red triangle with an exclamation mark appear, press and hold volume up and tap power button once, it will give you the error log then you'll know what are the problems that stopping the update

4. When you use a RUU when S-On, you need to relock bootloader before you run RUU
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsrz:
Ok thanks, I´ll try that as soon as I get home. What do you think its better, turn S-OFF and then run RUU or relock the bootloader first?

That's your problem.

You have a Dev Edition installed but using EU stock recovery.

You need Dev Edition stock recovery.

If you can't find one, copy the OTA zip from internal storage/Download folder to PC. Open the OTA zip with 7-zip, open firmware.zip, extract out recovery.img

This recovery.img is what you need.

Or try this one : http://sourceforge.net/projects/htconem8/files/Recovery/3.28.1540.5_recovery.img/download

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
I guess some of the system files are not pure stock.

The easiest way is run RUU.

1. Download Dev Ed RUU : http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...G_20.68.4196.01_F_release_411207_signed_2.exe

2. RUU will wipe all in internal storage. Make a backup of your files before you run RUU

3. Put your device on bootloader/fastboot mode

4. If your device is S-On

a-relock bootloader - fastboot oem lock

b-run RUU (select run as administrator in your windows explorer context menu)

5. If your device is S-Off - run RUU (select run as administrator in your windows explorer context menu)
