Is development on this project dead?
[Android Apps and Games] makamwalker:
Is there a way to resize the apps so they appear aa bit larger on the favorites board?
[Android Apps and Games] Starchief:
I'm assuming that this app is no longer supported, but in hopes that one day the developer may see this and push an update for the app, I would like to mention a problem I recently started having. Before I start, I'd like to just mention that the reason I'm even going through the trouble of writing this is because I absolutely LOVE edgeboard, and it is by far my favorite edge panel. Ok, so basically after the last android update, when I pull the panel out, rather than coming out and sitting right on the edge of my screen, it comes all the way to about the middle of the screen. It functions normally, but what I loved most about it was its design... the way it sat right on the edge of the screen and came out no further than the width of the app icons. I've included screenshots of what it used to look like and how it looks now. I hope one day this problem can be fixed because this app was seriously the BEST edge panel.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcdeux:
With some modding of the zip such as copying boot image over, etc can an AT&T or Intl S5 rom be run on the VZW S5? I'm using a VZW S5 on AT&T and my only complaint is the dumbass + issue with phone numbers. Which I'll have, I suspect as long as I'm on a VZW based rom....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muniz_ri:
It should run (don't know how well). You can try the safestrap backup at the bottom of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=58621872

Although you are limited to all stock vz 4.4.4 partitions, i.e. bl, kernel, modem, etc. You may have wifi issues since the kernel, modules, and non-hlos all need to match in order for wifi to work. You will have to flash the matching vz modules after installing the backup to fix wifi.

I have Samsung Tab 8.9 (P7310, Android 4.0.4) and when I try to install or update apps with Play Store (v5.2.13), Play Store crashes with message "Unfortunately Play Store has stopped".

Have tried clearing cache and clearing data to no avail. I uninstalled Play Store updates then it worked until it auto updated to v5.2.13. I also restored the tablet to factory default and again it worked until Play Store autoupdated to v5.2.13.

Found apk for Play Store v5.1.11 and installed that, then again Play Store worked properly until it updated to v5.2.13.

How is it possible to stop auto update of Play Store because its a hassle to always uninstall updates or install different version before trying to install or update apps.

Thanks!

BTW, I don't know about the inner workings of the tablet, file systems, etc. Nor, do I particularly want to become skilled in this regard...just want Play Store it to work again without the hassle so please be gentle with me. :)

Hello.

I have seached this question TO DEATH, and still, no answer to my problem.

I have a Galaxy Player 4.2, rooted, and I used the "Rom Manager" app to flash recovery. If I go to recovery using the app, it boots into stock recovery, and says this:

"--Installing Package. . .

Finding update package. . .

Opening update package. . .

Verifying update package. . .

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installation Aborted"

And when I do the 3 button combo, it just does stock recovery :confused:

Any help?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mavireck:
The best way to install a custom recovery on the GP4.2 is to flash the stock kernel with cwm made by zaclimon.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2198444

Stock recovery can't install a recovery itself (except on some devices). You must use odin to flash another kernel which includes CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Deleted member 6450417:
Thanks, but it didn't work!:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mavireck:
Hum... What did you do exactly ?

I am not a dev and I don't own the 4.2, I can't help anymore :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Deleted member 6450417:
That sucks :( GP4.2 is pretty awesome :D

Anyways, I used Rom Manager app and sezlected to flash the I9000 recovery, because people said that that is the second best option.

PickPocketPolice, called P3 for short, is an android application which can help you avoid getting your device stolen. When you take your phone out of your pocket, an alarm rings until your input your default security code and enter into your mobile phone.This will be very useful in densely crowded areas or in public places like Bus Stand or Railway station or Airport e.t.c. where there is a high of loosing your mobile phones.

Just switch on this app and put the phone in your pocket and sleep peacefully :)

Note : This app works based on the proximity sensor value changing when taking the device out of the pocket so it will not work in devices that cover their proximity sensors using the flip cover.

Feel free to post any feedback about this application here. Please use the appropriate tabs at the top to post reviews, feature requests or bug reports for this app.

Nice UI

The Material UI is refreshing to look at and pleasing to the eye, moreover the idea for the app seems unique and might help a lot of people keep their mobile safe.

I just have one request, Can you add the functionality to send an SMS or an email to predetermined contact with the current location once the alarm is ringing, this will help in case we did not notice the alarm or the thief ran away with the phone within seconds before the alarm is activated.

I solved some issues I was having, thought I would share.

Notice Chrome freezing or responding really slowly? Or do you hate not having easy access to tabs and functions? Go to Settings and disable 'Merge tabs and apps'.

Can't remove system apps? Grab the app 'Parcel' from Google play. Uninstall the apps 3 times in a row, then reboot.

All I got for now...

Feel free to share yours!

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MunkinDrunky:
I believe it only means a wireless network (WiFi or mobile data) is available but not connected. If you connect to either WiFi or your mobile data the eclimation should go off on the other because overall you are now connected to a wireless network.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fduraibi:
A friend of mine wanted to change the stock rom on his old tmobile MyTouch 4G to CM7.2

It is currently running the latest 2.3.4 (hboot_0.89.0007, radio 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19), I unlocked the phone following the steps from HTC Dev website. And they explained that unlocking is enough to flash custom rom since it enabled write access to recovery, system and boot http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/about_unlock_process.

I was able to flash and run both TWRP and CWM (twrp2.2.2.1-glacier-recovery & recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.0-glacier) adn used them to flash CM7.2 stable and the latest nightly and some other custom ROMs i found on the developers forum at XDA, however, not of them do boot. The phone will get stock at the first screen showing Tmobile and myTouch 4g logo.

I followed many threads/steps that recommended downgrading to stock froyo first to turn security off (S-OFF) but it won't let me since it is older version, then some says to downgrade the radio first, but that is also not possible with S-ON and i get signature error. i tried doing it from the sd-card using the file name "PD15IMG.zip" for the stock rom but didn't work neither from the fastboot rebootRUU thingy.

From the recovery i wiped every thing even system, then checked it to make sure it is empty, flashed CM7.2 and mounted system and there are the files as they should be but it won't boot, and "adb devices" won't show anything so i cannot see the log. which means it didn't even start.

Am I missing something trivial?

* BTW, i had to lock the bootloader again to flash the stock 2.3.4 back, but I have the unlock token "Unlock_code.bin" and I can unlock it again if someone knows the answer to this problem
[LG G Pro 2] Ahmed Xperia p:
I encountered this issue few days ago. It happens once you flash any rom which changes your model number and again you try to flash some other rom , or whatever reason may be. In my case i flashed drake rom which changed model from F350S to D838 .

First of all if you are seeing security error on boot screen just don't panic and relax. It is just a softbrick , bootloader is not letting your device to boot up . All you have to do is either unlock bootloader(teeny bin method for optimus G) or reflash stock firmware for your device.

Follow this guide at your own risk i have tested it on my F350S

Here are the steps i followed:-

1. Download kdz for your phone.(Download attach zip file , unzip it enter your device model and imei number and download correct kdz for your model)Note: Put the kdz in Lg Flashtool 2014 folder

2. Download LG Flashtool 2014 and Latest Lg drivers(you can find them on google)

3.Put your ph in download mode(In switched off condition press vol up button and insert usb cable in pc)

4.Launch Lg flashtool 2014 as administrator

5.Select type CDMA and Phone mode CS-EMERGENCY

6. Select KDZ file

7.Start

8.On language and country window just click ok

9. Flashing will start

10.If everything is good flashing will go till 90 % and your phone will restart

However this may not be possible since you are recovering a bricked device. Most likely flashtool will not go past 2% and after that it will start giving usb or retry errors. This means model number in kdz and your device are not matching up. In my case my device became D838 where as it is F350S. So If that is the case follow below steps after step 2 from above

3. Download and install Hex editor(you can easily find it on google)

4. Right click on kdz and select option Edit with HDD Hex editor neo

5.Click on search and type the model number of kdz(in my case it was F350S )

6.It will take you to the first line (leave it like that)

7. Press Find next button(it is with search button)It will take to you the model number of kdz

8. Change model number of kdz(i changed F350S to D838) For removing S click on it and change numbers in left column to 00

9.Save kdz

10. Follow step 3-8

11. Disconnect your internet

12.Flashing should complete without error:good:

Hopefully it will be helpfull

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Pulverizer:
Hi All alpha user in the world :)

I have some questions before buy the Galaxy alpha SM-G850F European base model.

I known that this G850F(European model) have Intel XMM 7260 modem chipset.

(Detail things you can find [MENTION=1076693]intel[/MENTION] : http://www.intel.com/newsroom/kits/mobileworld/2014/pdfs/7260_factsheet.pdf)

AFAIK most of European phones have Qualcomm base modem chip. Hence I'm some worry this intel modem have sufficient stability call and LTE/3G fallback.

1. Your coverage in LTE, You can make a call through 3g UMTS network. (to 3g Fallback for make a call)

If you hung up call then immediately(about 1~2 second after) fallback to LTE?

Sometimes bad quality modem chipset never fallback to LTE when already hung up complete. In this case by force Data off then Data on, it will catch LTE signal.

2. How about call quality and call stability? Satisfied ?

I'm very concern above questions. If clear above questions, I will buy BLUE alpha! Because Color is fantastic!

Welcome​

I have started this thread for the THEORETICAL development of the mt6732/mt6752 from source if such a thing happened to exist which of course it does not.

While compiling from source is pretty well documented :good: compiling MTK is not so well documented especially the mt6732/6752. :(

I have tried to keep this thread as ambiguous as possible and hopefully we will be left in peace to iron out any difficulties.

DO's:

I am a Total Noob myself to compiling from source but experienced enough to use the xda search box, Google and Youtube first before asking any questions. If your still confused after using the above then by all means ask here.

DON'T s:

If your a noob who should happen upon this thread then by all means read and learn but please respect the dev's by not asking random question without searching first :fingers-crossed:

SHARING:

Please only share things of a sensitive nature with recognised members who you know and via the PM. :good:

Lets just see how far we can push this Kernel :D

I am new to compiling from source in any shape or form :o

I believe the kernel to be not a problem and I know dev's are working on getting our phone on cm and maybe others :fingers-crossed:

But me being me I am very curious and would like to understand how we would go about doing what [MENTION=4309448]varun.chitre15[/MENTION] managed to do for the mt6582 Here :confused:

I have the PC all setup for building now thanks to [MENTION=5186178]carliv[/MENTION] great guide Here and the cm and android tut's I also found this useful guide on youtube by Dave Bennet Here

Our device is not on the cm or google repo so how do we add it locally. :confused:

Do we need any special commands for mediatek :confused:

Could we use the mt6582 repo and substitute or mod the files :confused:

As you can see I have more questions than answers as normal :laugh:

I dont want to tread on any toes here or take over current developing but just want to learn as said in the OP there is a lack of mtk guides regarding this. :o

If I missed a clear mtk guide then please post the link to it. :good:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xenonism:
I have compiled and flashed a kernel, I've been running it for 24+ hours with no obvious issues. It's honestly very easy to just get it to build if you don't try to make major changes.

I have (very lazily) tried to change a couple of things in the config to fix the known issues (OTG, compass): unfortunately I have no way to test the OTG function right now, while the compass did not magically start working. :( On the other hand, the notification light issue which is introduced by V8.4 is not strictly or exclusively kernel-dependent, since I am running V8.3 with my own kernel and the notification function is intact. That's all I can share at the moment.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HypoTurtle:
Can you switch on and post the /proc/config ?

Regarding the notification lights, I think v8.4 introduced the custom partition (might be wrong on that). Running grep -r "ro.notification.breath" /system/ the only result I got was services.odex (might have been settings.odex). I've bak(smali)ed it but couldn't see the difference between the two that would explain the change.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xenonism:
The config file is attached to the post, it's too big to paste it.

I have tried the new ROM which came out today, then flashed my kernel. I can't use either SIM card anymore. Flashed the boot.img that comes with the ROM - same. I guess I gotta go back to V8.3 for now. :D

The new ROM doesn't seem to be the same as the OTA: it reports as: Elephone_P6000_02_V8.0_20150206.

About the notification issues (which bothers me the most), I haven't had much time do to more experiments, but I was thinking this (which probably also led to my confusion*): there's a chance the functionality is not removed or shut down, at least in the intentions of the maker. After all, in V8.4 (and in the new ROM), when the phone is connected the light stays on, while notifications make it breath. While not a desirable behaviour (at least IMO), I wouldn't call it... a non-behaviour, so to say. So perhaps the functionality itself is intact but something is altering the way it works, for whatever reason. I also did some unpacking and grepping a few days ago, but I couldn't find anything useful.

* At some point I thought the issue was fixed because the light was breathing while connected to my PC, but it was probably because I had a notification to read.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HypoTurtle:
Lets not speculate too much - but perhaps there was a minor board change between the first and second preorders, notification could be a problem with granting notification access (in settings) - could this be a selinux issue? It would explain why things like Light manager work - as you grant them notification access.

For lost Imei - can you compare the custom partition to the one in the ota?
