Hello guys,

Just wondering if anyone know of a kitkat ROM that would be comparable to the device. I have attached the 'About Phone' details which gives all info about the phone. Please let me know if there is an ROM I use to flash Kitkat.

thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] PerpetuumSoft:
Hello everyone!

We've just published a new Android app for project management on the Google Play Store.

MobiDB Project Management is a powerful app that can handle complex inventory tasks.

You can easily add new tasks, set duration, start and end date, hourly rate, assign tasks to your team members. It’s possible to sort and filter tasks in the list to organize data in a convenient manner, search for necessary items and save database to SD. You can also export task lists or individual tasks to PDF, import/export CSV files, and invoice customers.

MobiDB Project Management is available on the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.perpetuumsoft.mobidb.projectmanagement

It would be great to get feedback from the community. Your rating on the Play Store would be cool as well.

Just give it a try!

Cheers,

[Asus Transformer TF701] blackisle:
I've had a TF201 for a long time but it is now almost dead (smashed screen, dents, slowdown, random reboots).

The TF701T looks like the direct replacement but I suspect it won't get a production Lollipop update.

I am no stranger to flashing custom ROMs and would happily do so again but CM12 development doesn't look quite stable yet although the unofficial ROM in the dev threads looks promising :)

Question/Poll:

Get a TF701T for form factor and ignore lack of official Lollipop

Get a Nexus 9 with Keyboard and ignore price

Get something else (Asus X205TA Atom for example)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
I love mine. With the dock it is basically a laptop replacement for me. Using CM12 as a daily driver with no issues, seems super stable to me.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Yegort:
I was considering a Nexus 9 but decided against it for 2 reasons:

1. no sd card and I use my tablet for a lot of textbook pdf's for school and also emulator roms

2. 4:3 screen and I like widescreen

The keyboard dock on the tf701 is sweet
[Asus Transformer TF701] tschmid:
Same here, just sometimes Dock connection trouble

Another contender was announced yesterday at MWC 2015

Sony Z4 tablet with keyboard dock

I'm glad to see someone making a high end android device with a keyboard dock.
[Asus Transformer TF701] pelago:
Interesting, although it seems to be a Bluetooth keyboard without an extra battery to charge the tablet, rather than a Transformer-style keyboard.
[Asus Transformer TF701] darker_slayer:
OP, I'm in the exact same market at the exact time

True question, but Asus products are all over the place these days. This particular tablet 701t should have been an absolute killer in sales, but it just didn't amount to much. After not such stellar sales on android, microsoft was right up their alley. The transformer tablet concept is just the best IMO. It definitely beats all Apple/Surface keyboard concepts I've seen. It makes sense for them to consider moving to windows. 2in1 windows devices seem to get a lot of help at least from microsoft and trying to push their way into small home office and hospital environments. Lot of that junk still running xp, so there is a big fat corporate market out there. As android goes, it's just too fickle on the high end to predict a standout winner.

Really too bad that asus didn't have a tf702-t or infinity-redux lined up for 2015. I'd be all over that, but no way I'm going to windows. Considering the Sony is waterproof and their android interface is nice and stock-like, I'm going to go for the z4 instead of the asus at this point. Definitely more expensive, but I want ac-wifi and waterproof anyway (not just perks, but things I wish Asus had)

As to battery life, looks like the z4 is reported to be in the 701t+dock territory all on it's own. Sure the dock will suck a little juice, but bt4-LE for keyboards is pretty efficient. I would be surprised if it drained more than an hour in a day. Maybe not, I'll buy it and see
[Asus Transformer TF701] pelago:
Yep, even Asus's newer tablets like the TF103C no longer have a battery in the dock (although it connects physically rather than Bluetooth), so maybe that's the way things are going. And given how unreliable the dock connector is on the 701, maybe Bluetooth isn't such a bad idea!

I'm also very tempted by the Z4 tablet. I see it will be £499 in the UK, including the keyboard, though, which is a lot more than the 701 initially was priced at, I think.
[Asus Transformer TF701] darker_slayer:
I was wondering the price as well. Fortunately electronics don't ever seem to price at the transfer rate anyway. FWIW, I'd bet it launched within in $50 of that exact number of pounds rather than the equivalent exchange rate

I don't recall the price of the 701t at launch either. I thought it was something like $399 and no clue on the dock msrp
[Asus Transformer TF701] YayYouFixedIt:
I think eventually we will see Asus come out with something big.

It may not be too soon. I think they learned their lesson about putting stuff out soon.

For a lot of what Asus makes quality is very important. But pushing out too many tablets too soon has reduced buyer confidence.

They will wait when they have a high spec device that smashes all other competition.
[Asus Transformer TF701] darker_slayer:
Yeah the tegra4 arrived ahead of the "pack" in the 701t. No reason to think they'll release yesterday's news with a k1 Denver. They seem to be in bed with Intel which is making progress, but compared to nvidia and Qualcomm. . . Intel feels like they are stuck in molasses. Lib-houdini was big, and a joint effort between Intel and Asus primarily (it seems, iirc) hopefully the lull is paving the way for something big and Intel will be aosp friendly
[Asus Transformer TF701] mustardman29:
The TF701 will probably be getting official lollipop ROM according to semi-reliable rumors.

I have a TF701 and a TF103C.

If you don't need the higher specs of the 701 you will be happy just using the 103 and saving a bit of money. 103 screen resolution is just fine for normal everyday use, youtube etc. One thing I don't like about the 701 is that it runs kind of hot. On the back upper left where the Tegra CPU is. Battery life is not all that great either. The TF103C with it's Intel CPU does not have the heating issue and seems to be better on battery life. They changed the keyboard option on the 103C. It's a different part# that does not include a battery. So if you want to use the keyboard you will probably be better off with the 701.

One benefit of the keyboard change on the 103 is they moved the USB port to the side and just use a standard micro USB connector for that now. I don't use the keyboard option so one thing I really don't like about the 701 is that proprietary USB connector on the bottom designed for the keyboard. The case I use does not have a hole in the bottom so I cannot close it when charging. Could easily cut a hole I suppose. The other problem with that location is it's very very difficult to use it when plugged in. That connector at the bottom sticks out a ways and is fragile so it would't take much to break. The TF103C location is much better on the side and it's just micro USB that doesn't stick out too far so easier to use while plugged in and less likely to break.

You will be happy with either one I think and I'm pretty sure they will both get official lollipop. Can always use custom ROM lollipop which is available now for the 701.
[Asus Transformer TF701] aydink:
get the tf701t and ignore the fact that there is no official lollipop yet. the inofficial cm12 is very good, I'm using it all the time. no problems till now
[Asus Transformer TF701] deerhunter716:
Are there any serious competitors to consider to the 701? I can get it with the dock for $295 from Amazon right now and unless I am missing something out there or coming out soon - there seems to be nothing even close to that price with this performance AND a keyboard without spending $500...

Am I missing something? I ask because looking at a birthday present to myself and want something that has a keyboard and is Android. I will mainly be using it with keyboard for web browsing as a "laptop", watching videos on trips, reading, and some gaming here and there but nothing major. Seems to be a MUCH better alternative and more flexible than the chromebook I was looking at.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natarau:
Hi!

The main thing I am looking for, is how to make a zip version of a ROM stop erasing everything from the previous version and only update it.

More details about why I need this, below:

I have a SMARTQ Z Watch and the latest official ROM v3.7 no longer has the remote camera function. It was deleted starting with version 3.2, so 3.1 must have been the last to have it.

If I install an older version, which has the remote camera function, it works, but updating to latest always wipes absolutely everything from the phone, including any apps and files installed manually.

Unfortunately, the remote camera function is not an apk that I can find in the system/app folder, so it must be somehow else build in the ROM. I have no idea how to locate it.

Any help to this request would be highly appreciated.

this is the latest 3.7 ROM http://d2.smartdevices.com.cn/files/SmartQ_EN_Z1_V3.7/update.zip

this is one of the older versions, which has the remote camera function included http://d2.smartdevices.com.cn/files/SmartQ_EN_Z1_V2.5/update.zip

Now, do excuse me if i'm having my normal blonde moments but i think i am going to need help before i throw my MDA in the bin for good.

I brought TomTom Nav 6 which arrived today, has gone onto my phone and works perfect.

I already had a GPS Device from when i had Nav 5 and used an XDA (which for me was much better as bluetooth actually worked properly)

No matter what i try, my GPS Device cannot be found. I have paired them the best i can, i have set up an Outgoing COM port on 7 (this is using the GPS Device's name) and an Incoming on 6.

Is there anything else i can try of have i just wasted £150?

Thanks

Cheryl
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jerry-S:
Hi Cheryl,

Just to try and help you a little, can I suggest the following.

In Bluetooth settings/com ports, delete the port you have assigned to your GPS.

Then delete the GPS from the Devices list and re-discover and re pair it again.

While you are in this paring process, there will be a box labelled "Secure connection", (Or something like that)

Make sure it has not got a tick in it. The secure connection affects the pairing somehow.

When you have paired the GPS, go back to the Com Ports section and tap New OUTGOING Connection and assign it to Com6.

This is what my TT6 is set to and works very well.

I hope that helps.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Cheryl1:
Thanks for your help, thats perfect and it works.

Do you know why my Active Sync has now stopped working?? I am very think when it comes to PCs. It worked earlier, now it doesnt. In settings it says No Com Ports Available?

Cheers

Chez
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jerry-S:
Sorry for taking so long to reply.

When you set the com port for the GPS, before you asked on here, you set it to com 7 didnt you?

Ok, if so, have you made sure you have deleted that from the settings??

i.e: You should only have Com 6 set for your GPS and no others.

Other than that, I wouldnt know what to suggest, sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2] saikatrockz:
Team Win Recovery Project 2.8.xx for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.​

[Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2] Amanbeam:
+dushyantpratap If you are getting back to stock recovery even after flashing cwm/twrp recovery , Try this:

Rename the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file to something like /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak or just delete this file using a root explorer app like es file explorer and then install a custom recovery using odin. If this file is not executed on boot you will stick to a custom recovery permanently or if want to go back to stock recovery just rename the file to what it was before and then reboot your device.

[Galaxy Tab S General] revendel:
http://www.androidauthority.com/lollipop-5-0-2-galaxy-tab-s-8-4-10-5-589964/

Given the flagship tablet status Samsung bequeathed onto last year’s pair of Galaxy Tab S devices, it’s a bit sad to see their being relegated to “second rate” status with respect to Lollipop updates. Perhaps it’s simply a matter of numbers (as in smartphones sell better) or else the Magazine UX took longer than expected to coat with the new touches.

Thankfully, SamMobile has obtained a working build of the software which showcases the somewhat subtle changes that have been made.

[YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf1vCbtuZ3Q[/YOUTUBE]

As mentioned in the video, the changes are somewhat minimal, with the animations receiving a slight alteration, and various toggles (such as the volume slider) adopting the Lollipop look. Multi-user support has been added directly to the drop-down notification shade. Additionally the carousal recent apps list can be seen as well as lock screen notification cards.

Perhaps the greatest addition, however, is the fact that Samsung has left the original sound profile settings as is on the notification shade: Sound/Vibrate/Mute are all there, something that Google has infuriated countless users with having removed them from the stock AOSP Lollipop build.

Unfortunately no information is given as to what build is running on the device (near final? beta?) nor is there any release date information provided. According to leaks from earlier this year, Samsung was allegedly going to be updating its tablets after all the flagship phone releases were complete. Hopefully within the next few weeks the update will be finalized and deployed to eager owners, at least in terms of the Wi-Fi and SIM-unlocked variants go. Carrier branded models? That’s another story.

Assuming the recent rumors surrounding a Galaxy Tab S2 series go, will it have the same UX build as the one pictured here? Or will Samsung try and unveil a significantly redesigned Lollipop experience?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellimistx99:
Hello all,

I'm currently running a PA 4.6 BETA and running the hellscore kernel. It was fine at first, but now it's crazy buggy! I was hoping to return to a stock rom but still be rooted and unlocked, so my first question would be, what would be the best way to go about doing that?

Next question is, the only 3 things I'll miss from a custom Rom are double tap 2 wake , double tap 2 sleep, and the battery percentage indicator. Can I get these on stock somehow?

Lastly, if I go to stock, rooted, will I still get OTA Updates?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalculatedRisk:
The easiest way would be to flash the stock factory image and then flash the supersu zip in recovery to get root back. Your bootloader will still be unlocked during this process.

The features you want can be done through a custom kernel designed for AOSP such as Matr1x kernel, and the xposed framework. If you decide to flash the lollipop stock rom, you will have to use xposed alpha and gravity box for lollipop, and then you can get the UI tweaks back.

You will still receive the OTA updates, however, with the addition of xposed and root, they will fail upon installation. To install the OTA you would need to uninstall xposed and remove root, take the update, and then reinstall them, providing they are compatible.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
Just to add here, that if there is a custom recovery or kernel installed, both must return to stock for OTA update to work.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalculatedRisk:
Yes, those slipped my mind. Thank you for adding that.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellimistx99:
Another question: If I have a custom recovery currently installed, can i just flash from there? Or do I still need to go through the guide you provided? Can I just flash it like any other rom after I put in on my device?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalculatedRisk:
The guide and links I provided are to flash the stock factory image through fastboot (Command Prompt), they cannot be installed through the recovery. Flashing through fastboot gives you the cleanest install possible. When you flash through fastboot, your current custom recovery will be wiped and the stock one will be installed, but if you continue to follow the guide, you will be prompted to reflash a custom recovery so that SuperSU can be flashed.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
And again I will give the alternative and most easy tool for flashing, the Wugfresh toolkit.

All you need is a pc and to install this toolkit.

After you connect your phone, you can do pretty everything.

Lock/unlock bootloader, root, return to stock rom/kernel/recovery, flash files etc.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellimistx99:
I got everything working thanks! I just don't have double tap to sleep ! It wasn't available in the Matr1x Kernel like you suggested, it does have double tap to wake though which is really nice :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalculatedRisk:
Glad to help! Enjoy your freshly flashed phone :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brownmonkey300:
Now that xposed has been released for lollipop u can easily change the battery % indicator using gravitybox (app that uses xposed). However u will need a custom kernel for double tap to wake.
