Dude... I've seen you on many posts telling people not to root or unlock bootloader... or not to flash stuff etc etc... Why would you come to xda if you dont want any of that? use your phone normally and wait for OTAs if you are so scared... yes flashing things like a moron will lead to soft bricks and bootloops. but those are basics of debugging any device... if one doesnt know how to recover from a soft brick then he/she shouldn't flash things to their device. Yes nowadays playing (and messing) with our devices is really easy, so noobs tend to make mistakes... I have too in the past. But if you stay scared then you dont belong on XDA

As for your problem, if you have root on 5.1 right now... go to playstore and download TWRP manager... (this is because TWRP is more stable, and supports all ROMs from 4.4.4 to 5.1, unlike philz touch or CWM) otherwise you can manually download the .img file and flash it via cmd prompt on PC. (If you dont know how to do that just let me know... I'll guide you through the process)

then download the flashable zip of your choice (I suggest official CyanogenMod11 ... I use it as my daily driver and confirm that it is stable with everything working)

Here is the link

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=sprout

additionally you need to download GAPPS from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

Copy the two downloaded files to your external sd card (remember the path)

then boot into recovery and flash (install) them... then reboot to system and voila!! you are back on 4.4.4 !!

PS. I advise against going back to stock 4.4.4 because there are some added precautions you must take, otherwise you risk losing your imei , and wont be able to make calls/sms/mobile internet. Switching to CM is much safer and easier... plus gauranteed official (and faster than google) updates thanks to our beloved dev Varun Chitre

funny, I didn't tell anyone to not to do it, I told if someone worries about the warranty then don't do it, some people ain't even aware of that.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] the_prodigal_coder:
Well yes.... Even when DEVs put huge warnings and disclaimers on their stuff, people just tend to ignore them. My post's intention was not to take a dig at you. I saw a couple of your posts on other threads, which I felt were a tad bit negative regarding modding our devices

Please can anyone help me!

I have Nexus 4 on Lollipop 5.1, and I rooted the phone! I flash Franco Kernel on stock rom and it works! I want downgrade my device to stock KitKat 4.4.4, is it possible now? And how?
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] ujwal.p:
Download the factory image of 4.4.4 and place it in ADB folder ( if u have not setup adb, search in Google ), now take a backup of your current os via recovery ( just in case ), next wipe cache partition, factory reset. Now connect to PC, flash the factory image through ADB. [emoji2]

[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] arshavin69:
Downgrading

Easiest way to downgrade is to flash cwm backup of kitkat stock rom via custom recovery.If you had made clockworkmod backup of your rom before upgrading then just restore it from recovery after wiping data,system,boot and cache partition,there is no need for pc and Sp flash tool. If you have no backup then try to look for it on xda,and flash, it works without any issue.

Can you shed some light on this as to how will CM11 get official OTA updates(I presume) from google? :confused:
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] ujwal.p:
No. CyanogenMod is a different organisation altogether. They have those Jenkins(server) which builds for officially supported devices daily and uploads them (which will be downloaded later by the users as OTA) :)
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] the_prodigal_coder:
Well... Google doesn't make cyanogenmod ... And official support for CM11 is dropped.... Use CM12, or the last CM11 NIGHTLY... Or choose an AOSP based Rom

Hi,

I am trying to increase the data storage as apps are filling up the 2gb partition and not touching the 10gb partition.

Had a look around and found snippets of info. Some links to using symbolic links, scripts etc, but the one I found which is what I want to do is here:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-s/s-development/tutorial-increase-data-partition-t2821058

BUT, it is for a different phone so following it exactly will more than likely brick my device, does anybody have a similar guide for the htc one s?

Phone is S Off and unlocked running CM12 with TWRP recovery, HBOOT 2.15.

Many thanks,

[HTC One S] Flippy498:
Actually I would suggest you to upgrade your hboot to version 2.16. Your phone fullfills the requirements and you can find a CM12 version for that hboot here on xda.

Pros and cons for both hboot versions can be found here.

And the upgrade instructions are here. As long as you read carefully and follow the instructions there should be no risk of bricking your phone.

Hello,

So I'm currently have a shared data plan w. my mom on Verizon and after I graduate I plan on switching to a GSM carrier so that I may have a wider range of phones that I can use. However I am not sure which carrier will be the best option for me. In your opinion which GSM carrier in the US offers the best service for the price. If I had to choose one based on what I know I would go w. AT&T because I believe they have the 2nd best coverage but I have no real clue.

So, what are your suggestions?
[General Topics] Planterz:
It really depends on your area and on areas you might be traveling to and inbetween. AT&T indeed does have better overall coverage, but if you're staying pretty much in one or 2 metro areas, T-Mobile might be the better choice (unlimited high-speed!).

If you don't mind going off-contract/payment plan, pick up an inexpensive LTE phone like a Moto G LTE or the like and sign up for prepaid/MVNO service like Cricket, MetroPCS, or Straight Talk. There's a bunch of them, but they'll all use either AT&T's or T-Mobile's network as long as it's a GSM phone. Try one for a month, then switch to the other for a month. Or try both at the same time, just keep swapping the SIMs.

I want to remove the label "Owner:" that appears before owner information on the Today Screen. It's just taking up space and keeps me from being able to enter Name and Phone Number in the Name field and have it fit on one line. I've tried to find a registry entry or setting that may affect the label, but I suspect it's coded and, therefore, a little beyond my skills. Can anyone either tell me how to change it or perhaps create a small script to remove the label. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
It's not possible (certainly not by script). Even if whatever DLL is responsible for displaying owner details (I am fairly sure it is not a stand alone regular plugin) could be hacked to remove the string resource it would still not align the writing to the left.

My suggestion is to google for alternatives (there are even free ones) for the "owner" plugin.

[LG Optimus Black] Jelixis:
Hello guys,

while building a roomservice.xml for my Lollipop builds I noticed that CM12.0 on android_hardware_ti_omap3 has been stuck on staging since last year.

It doesn't download automatically when repo syncing, It isn't in the default repo sync for Lollipop,probably means they dropped official OMAP3 hardware support for the P970 :(

As of now, we rely all on the NamelessRom n-2.0 branch, until I manage to gather enough knowledge about our hardware to actually make a fork of it and manage the drivers :(

:eek:

So sad that CyanogenMod did this move, but oh well our device sources haven't been updated in ages since TI dropped OMAP3 and OMAP division.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zroe01:
Greetings again all,

I am wondering if anyone has ever had any luck with a 64gb micro sdxc card and this phone.

I want to use this is a dedicated mp3 player with the option for watching some .wmv tutorials and settled on the x10 mini a while back because I hate apple products and nothing else out there has video/audio capabilities like a smart phone in the dimensions of the x10 mini, except maybe a zune but they're insanely expensive.

Before I bought the phone I found a success thread in xda about using a 64gb sdxc card, but now I realize after many issues that it was for x10 and not specifically x10 mini.

I have had some success following the steps there, formatting in fat32 with 32k clusters. I rooted the phone and peeled off virtually everything non essential since it will never be used as anything beyond media play.

However, it seems once I get past about 6gb of music on it, it just crashes continually. I have tried various mp3 players and they all freeze up when searching the media library. Poweramp has given me the best success but even that is finicky at best.

Am I facing a hardware limitation or is it a software issue that could be counteracted with a lighter client for music play? Namely, something without album art and tags and just a pure random player. Is this a rom issue? I've considered flashing a custom rom and seeing if upping the cpu might counteract the freezes.

I want to get it to work, but I might be dreaming. At worst I can slap a 32gb card in here and I see success stories everywhere, but if 32...why not 64?

Quick question/help. My phone wifi can not seem to be able to detect any new wifi network at all. But my already known networks from when I set up this phone in the beginning still work as long as I m at home. So I came to the conclusion that I have turned some kind of process off that have caused this problem. I use TiBu, Amplify Battery extender.

When I use other Wi-Fi apps, Wifi Fixer. I'm able to see other networks that are normally there.

So I m just wondering what is the process that takes care of this wifi scan, or this thing that allows the phone to show what it detected.

I've installed this initial release, and most important things (minus the known issues) seem to be working great. Would love to see hardware key customization make its way back, which I am confident must be on its way in the near future.

One issue I am having, though, has to do with streaming videos. I have the NHL GameCenter Live app, but when I go to stream live games, I get the audio just fine, but am given green screen as the video. Any thoughts on this?

[T-Mobile LG G3] sudosilman:
Hey All!

So my Nexus 4 took a big spill the other day that put it out of commission and i had to go to T-Mobile to get another phone. Last month i looked into the phones that were on the market (because my friend lost hers and i was helping her pick out a phone) and the choices we came down to were Nexus 6, Galaxy S5, and LG G3. Well She ended up finding her old phone but from that research i knew which one i wanted to get. I really like the nexus series but 6 inches is a deal-breaker for me, my biggest complaint about this LG G3 is that its too big...

In any case, i have had the phone for about one day but i can't stand the LG ROM on it. It feels slow (even with 3GB of RAM in this thing!) and I really don't like all the bloat ware the Tmobile put on my phone.

I like the stock android experience and want to find one that comes pretty close to it (although extra features are always a plus). Here is what I prioritize in my phone (starting with highest priority and going down:

-Stable, First and foremost i cannot stand a crash, i hate hate hate it. I need the ROM to work just as well (if not better) than the stock android ROMs on the nexus line

-Working Hardware, i take a bunch of pictures and am constantly using mobile data (4G LTE) so i need all these to work well

-Battery Life, I play games a lot on my phone during the day when waiting around for the bus or whatever, i like to have my battery last as long as possible so i don't need to break out a portable charger.

-Responsive, i don't need to have a ton of crazy amazing features, but i do want it to be responsive, nothing peeves me more than having input lag when texting someone.

-Customizability, i really do enjoy the fact that i can change the home buttons on that appear on the bottom of the screen on the LG G3 ROM, its a nice touch to be able to tap a button to get your notifications to pull down (especially on such a large phone), so customizability of small features like that go along way with me, small things like being able to see the day next to time i really love.

-Lastly i like to have my phone flat on my desk a lot and with the button on the back the best way to turn it on is the double tap, so if possible (but not necessary) i would like to retain that feature.

Some ROMs i have been looking at and read reviews but cant really decide which to try are Cyanogen Mod 12, Illusion, and PurpleDrake.

Based on my user profile (what is most important to me) which ROMs (can be one of the ones i listed or whatever one you think works best) would you recommend.

Also is flashing a custom kernel very popular on the LG G3? I know it was on the nexus 4 but is it also beneficial on this device?

Last, is there a good instruction on xda for rooting and unlocking the bootloader (and possibly flashing a custom recovery) for the LG G3 D851 (The specific one i have)?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Itaintrite:
Your best bet is to get a stock-based ROM then install Xposed + some modules to customize it to your liking. A really good stock ROM is CloudyG3. It will give you all the stock features like IR remote, good camera app, double tap to wake, WiFi calling etc. I recommend getting a 3rd party launcher that allows you to set gestures. I use Nova Launcher and have "swipe down" open up the notification drawer. CM12 and other AOSP-based ROMs are probably smoother and faster but they will be more prone to crashing and lack stock features (though double tap to wake is in all).
[T-Mobile LG G3] sudosilman:
Thanks so much for your input! What is xposed? Is is an app that you install after flashing the ROM or is it something like GAPPS which your flash during installation of your ROM? Where can i find more information on what Xposed is and how it provides features?

Why do you say that my best bet is a stock-based ROM over an AOSP one?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Itaintrite:
Basically, Xposed is a framework that allows you to install/remove codes (modules) on-the-fly. Easy to install. More info here: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/xposed-faq-issues-t2735540

Stock-based over AOSP because of your preferences lol. They're generally more stable and let you take advantage of ALL of the G3's hardware.
[T-Mobile LG G3] sudosilman:
Do you know any specific problems that AOSP have with the G3 hardware over the Stock? I am really looking to get rid of bloatware and increase responsiveness and battery life. I just get this weird feeling like the stock ROM is slooooooow.

Also does the Xposed framework load down the phone at all? I feel with each module i install it would get progressively slower with all the stuff running in the background. Doesnt seem very lightweight after having the cloudyG3 installed i should have a ton of features (since its stock and not AOSP). seems like it would lag down it even more.

I'm just looking for a stable ROM with a decent set of features (i don't need anything too crazy) that is responsive (i feel with 3GB of RAM i shouldnt have to deal with lag anymore) and has a decent battery life (3000mAh is a lot, even with the large screen). What can you guys recommend based on that simply details?
