Edit: Does not seem to be working on Black 5.0.1 rom

Courtsey of Kushan02 who's debloater zip is just awesome for the S4, I asked how to rid my S4 of the new S Finder and Quick Connect icons in the pulldown tray for Lollipop 5.0.1 and he's modded my original SystemUI.apk and kindly provided me with a modded apk in flashable zip format which I'm sharing with you.

Download, flash, reboot, and enjoy!

I updated to the 5.1 OTA leak and I've noticed that in the top right corner of QS I see "Emergency Calls Only". I actually have perfect connectivity and calls and data work fine. You can see the network status along with this message in the pic below. I don't even remember what was in that corner before. I'm guessing it's meant to have my carrier name? I rebooted the phone and it was still there. It's only visible in QS. Is it a simple bug or is there something I'm missing?

Before "Sudden Death" started I had updated my Software to the final Version Sony provided, which is Android 4.3.

Hello,

I have an S4 , EVERYTHING STOCK- NO ROOT.

Yesterday while I was talking on the phone it restarted and entered a reboot loop.

Any ideas :/ ?

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] RichardKAthena:
I got the PDair case from eBay - £20 - since I find the way the keyboard interacts with the plastic clips on the standard case to be a bit irritating, and the pen-as-latch is just silly in terms of "catching on things in your pocket".

It looks lovely. I especially like the magnetic latch and leather panel to protect the front of the Ameo.

But.

Even though the magnets are in the keyboard.

Even though there is an established design for making the case efficient...

They put the keyboard in a plastic sleeve. No magnets.

And the plastic sleeve is not very flexible.

So replying to SMS, I press E or R... and the cover bends enough to register on the left softkey... and "send".

Magnetic attachment for the keyboard as per standard Ameo case, please! And a belt clip/belt clip attachment point. Then I'll pay £40, instead of £20, for it.

Still think it is nicer overall than the standard case, but the standard case is really very good for a 'freebie'.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cayotte:
Picture, please? Or at least link to the case.

I have the same case and feel exactly the same about it - nice case, good-looking, but this ugly plastic sleeve... :-/

I am using the standard case now and have grown quite fond of it; as Richard said: very good for a free case!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
Did it come with a belt clip because on this site I understand that it does?

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/13314.htm

If you read the descriptions on the page, it reads that a 360degree clip comes with the case.

This is a crazy idea but if you take marker and mark the center of each key on the plastic protector then use a hole punder to "cut" a hole for each key, it may give you the "flexibility" needed. Of course, it may ruin the plastic but just a suggestion...try at your own risk of course. ;-)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] RichardKAthena:
No, no belt clip on mine. I assume it's a standard form page. The pictured case lacks a belt clip, and TBH a belt clip on that design would perhaps be hard to make effective - if it's on the back of the device, the keyboard/flap is exposed, if it's on the keyboard side you can't rest it on a table...

TWRP v2.8.5.0 for obake

Hi Skrilax_CZ,

Thanks for your work. Have you considered submitting a pull request to the TWRP Github repository so the properties which set the OTA assert correctly can be included in an obake TWRP recovery image sometime in the future?

Upstream is now ahead of you on v2.8.5.0 and if you share the patch, then building the recovery image for obake would be something users could do on their own, or in a best case scenario -- TWRP could potentially adopt support for an obake build given your contribution.

Kind Regards,

Camisa

I dropped my phone last night, even with a case and screen protector on the screen now has a hairline crack from half way up on the left hand side to the right corner of the phone, only the bottom 1/4 of the phone is usable, i have no time to mess around with swapping screen etc so how much should i sell it for on Ebay? it's Copper in color and very god condition besides the crack.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
It should be tested to confirm it's working (after replacing screen).

Few years ago, that would be 50$ damage, now, then glass and digitaliser (I probably spelled that wrong but OK) are glued together it's quite expensive to repair it.

If everything else is in a mint condition you could get few bucks more but I doubt you could get more then 150$..

Maybe to try with an auction...it's a tricky business but you could sell it faster..

If I'm not wrong, there's a option to set lowest price you would accept.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omario-242:
Thank you! At least I'm not the only one. I guess the CM12 camera isn't processing the right way (camera sensor related). I installed various other cameras and it didn't help at all.

I even tried to get the stock camera to install on CM (which failed, don't know why, I'm failing knowledge for thus things).

Whether most of the CM users don't realize their camera is broken or there are different kinds of sensors. I recently noticed the infamous light red spot in the center of the picture as well (wasn't there on stock).

same problem on z3 compact with cm 12.1
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuan2195:
Same problem. I guess this is due to Sony implementing a distortion correction in their camera app from the start. So I think it's not CM camera that's broken, but it's rather Sony camera that's too advanced.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Actually it's fallout of the whole disaster of cameras breaking when DRM keys were removed back in the 4.4 days with the original rhine family.

Sony has kept using that damn IMX220 sensor with all of the associated DRM stupidity (despite sensors that they sell to other companies like the IMX214 being superior AND not encumbered by DRM bull****), and as a result there has been a constant battle to have blobs that don't break in funktacular ways when the bootloader is unlocked. There is a positive result of Sony constantly recycling the same sensor:

CM's current approach is to use old 4.3-era camera blobs from the Z1 on the entire family of devices with IMX220 sensors. The problem is that while the Z3 also has an IMX220, it has a different lens, and the vignetting/distortion correction of the Z1 HALs is wrong for the Z3.

cdesai was working on getting newer (and more importantly, device-specific) blobs to work, but held off on finishing it as the guys at Sony are trying to get a more AOSP-friendly HAL for all devices released. Unfortunately, this is taking longer than expected, most likely because of lawyers within Sony.

People just don't seem to understand that the camera app rarely has much if any effect on image quality, unless you're using oddball/esoteric features and shooting modes. All of the heavy lifting is done in the camera HALs and support libraries.

At some point when I get the time I want to try and get the camera running in Omni/Sony AOSP using modern HALs based on cdesai's work, but I haven't been really motivated - for a phone to be a daily driver for me, I don't need a camera. (cell phone cameras suck, in fact I intentionally removed the module from my old Treo 650 so I could bring it to work before my company changed policy on phone cameras due to it becoming impossible to buy phones without cameras).
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ultraman1966:
This is very interesting information, so is it likely that Sony will release the necessary data to make the camera fully functional when not using stock ROM? You mentioned about lawyers interfering and that's got me worried!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
I've been hearing chatter about it, chatter which has caused people to focus on things other than getting 5.x device-specific blobs working on various Sony devices, but nothing has happened yet and there's nothing concrete. I might take a crack at it in the next few weeks, but I've got higher-priority things at the moment.

To avoid being on the wrong end of someone's lawyers, you often need to get approval from your own lawyers (and/or someone else's). Remember the Nexus 7 factory image fiasco that was the final straw for JBQ and led to his resignation as the AOSP technical lead? Same deal - no one got sued, but various releases got held up due to fears of lawsuits of someone released something without the right approvals. (Note: The Qualcomm/Nexus7 fiasco wasn't JBQ's only reason for quitting, but it was the final straw. Qualcomm took a big PR hit over that although the reality is that as bad as Qualcomm is with stuff like that, Samsung and MTK are far worse.)

I just can't understand it. Sony has the source code which is necessary to build appropriate binary blobs. Technically it should be possible to integrate the corresponding flags and algorithms in a way that custom roms benefit. They have already done it with the Z1. Does anybody know something about the progress ? Does Sony have the intention to enhance their blobs ? Did they mention something about that topic ? It would be nice to hear something new :=)
