[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riboswitch:
First of all because my main app "Puzzle and Dragons" is not lollipop ready.

Furthermore I really dont like the new design and the lockscreen looks pretty ****ty because it is way more darker then before .

All in all I didnt see a reason to switch over to Lollipop because it seems unpolished and kinda bugged.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Space_pilot:
Same here, rolled back to my rooted 77fw with complete working xposed without ugly material design and these horrible orange buttons, I'm even have not noticed any changes in performance etc.

Actually its my 1st case where i prefer to stay on the older fw, but no, i remember when vista arrived i was using xp till the 7s version of windows came out ;)

Wbr.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrEzkimo:
I remember suggesting I wasnt olvery looking forward to 5.0 from all the previews I had been watching on youtube. I had several folk telling me it was "awesome" and battery life was going to be amazing due to project volta etc.

well then it arrived on both my nexus 4+7 and sadly it was a mess. battery was worse, stuff was just weird and quite a few things had gone backwards. sounds, notifications, recents, quick settings etc.

all poor and not one thing I found useful over 4.4.4.

so I sold both and Ill be avoiding 5 until its fixed its issues totally, and maybe even then I wont bother. the z3c is the first phone Ive had which is decent speed but with an amazing battery life, why would I risk that for cosmetic changes which I dont even really like.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elhazguy:
By experience, when a new version of Android is released, usually some fixes are needed. And until such things are fixed, users have to deal with that. No big deal.

Because of that, I use to wait patiently for a "perfect" version of the "new" system.

And because of what Dr.Ezkimo wrote too. :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrEzkimo:
sadly many are "features". but yep, 5.1 does fix some of the issues with the notifications and silent mode. so time will tell if its worth it :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Culbert:
You can easily disable OTA updates even without being rooted! Go to Settings > Manage Apps > ALL > System updates, uncheck Notifications and Disable the app.

These update notifications were driving me nuts because anyone who has followed my comments knows that I feel that 25R is the most stable firmware with the longest battery life and I don't care to gamble on later updates. Even 38R isn't full proof!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elhazguy:
Hi, Culbert.

Sorry, but what does 25R mean?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Etiennef:
Can this be done on lollipop?

I would like to disable the notifications, but the checkbox is grayed out (and checked)...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gggg:
5.0.2: notification for 5.1 cant be stopped without root ??

Under "sound&notifications" I disabled notifications for software update and sotware service, but it still comes after every reboot.

Under "apps" the checkbox for notifications is still checked and greyed out" ... so no chance to diable it without root ???

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] wadamean:
Since these three launchers are the best small size launchers out there. Which one is your daily driver? Why? Battery life comparisons would be appreciated.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] itsdubai:
Nova Prime. Nuff said.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] Razorbacktrack5535:

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] JasonJoel:

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] SirBindy:

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] ceelos218:
if i had to pick out of those 3... i would pick nova launcher...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] wadamean:
I use that as my daily driver but just wanted to see input in these three launchers which is superior
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] itsdubai:
Nova is superior. It has a ton of customization and is also super fast and stable. You can't beat it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] wadamean:
That is very true indeed. I have betrayed it with action launcher 3.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] Galaxo60:
I don't like usual launchers, they are all kind of the same.

Just try Total Launcher, it's new and has a tons of options.

:good:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] raiden86:
Try Action Launcher 3.

I tested a lot of launchers and I think that Action Launcher 3 was the best of all for me.

Regards
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] mastermindjb:
Action Launcher 3. I'll find it hard to go back to any other launcher. It just has all the features I want/need.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] krabman:
I suppose like a lot of people I regularly go through the launchers trying the new and revisiting the old. I load the screens every which way seeking an optimal layout where minimal clicks lead to the goods and with an eye on aesthetics.I just completed such a cycle now and before long I always end up back on Action Launcher 2, its just flat a better mousetrap. I find 3 is a move toward being another Nova, Apex, or (seemingly) fifty other similar launchers without adding anything else and I think we have enough of those already. Plus I think that Lacy that makes Action Launcher is a Richard. Every time he iterates the launcher you have to buy a new pro license and that is crap. So cred for the covers/blinds idea and the Launcher 2 which is a fairly brilliant re-imagination of how a launcher can work, but heavy diss for being a Richard. As to this thread, I dislike all three launchers mentioned about equally.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] wadamean:
That is very true. I have tried all the launchers and do every month but i always end up going back to action launcher, but action launcher 3 because of the material design but true action launcher 2 is better.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] krabman:
Yeah, I imagine a lot of this is just preference. On the other hand I cant make any objective argument as to standout reasons one of the OPs choices would be a good one whereas I can make some about Nova, Action, etc. I didn't mean to imply 3 was junk BTW, I just felt the combo of moving toward another Nova clone (which one could argue is a clone of older launchers which first carved out that general path) along with the shut out to previous buyers was a turn off for me personally.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] kodiak799:
I use Lightning Launcher.....supports up to 99 distinct desktops, which is perfect for my obsession with widgets. I created shortcut "buttons" that jump to whatever desktop I want to see.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
The memory usage...LOL.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] krabman:
I cant recall now which version of touchwiz came with the buttons across the bottom for each homescreen with these being shortcuts to that screen but I thought it was a great touch that I fully expected other launchers to copy but it didn't happen. Wasn't enough to keep me on touchwiz of course but I really liked having every screen one touch a way.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mooseknuckles1:
Just installed O2 OS and when I went to do an app restore with Titanium I noticed it didn't recognize the SD partition.

If I go to Settings>Storage it says 27gb free (out of 64gb, so everything is still on the device), and lists where memory is being used but that only adds up to about 3gb

If I boot to twrp > Mount > enable MTP

Then plug into my laptop, everything is there, all my songs, pictures, backups, etc from when I was running CM11S under SDcard/0

In TWRP if I try to restore (I have two twrp CM11S backups) the screen is blank, and I can't change the restore directory so sdcard/0 where they are now located

When reboot and I plug the phone in on my laptop the phone storage is blank. I can't copy anything to the phone (says "The device has either stopped responding or been disconnected.") So I can't copy the TWRP backup and/or Ti Backup I saved to my computer

So I went back into TWRP > Mount > Enable MTP

Then tried copying my Ti Backup folder to the main device folder. Transfer seemed fine, so i rebooted. Same thing as before, it doesn't show any files on the sdcard

What's going on with the internal memory? Basically what I need to be able to do is do a restore back to CM11S and I'll try to start with a fresh Oxygen flash.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eternasparta:
Similar problem with oxygenOS.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mooseknuckles1:
While in TWRP with MTP enabled, I tried to copy my most recent TWRP backup (put it on my laptop this morning just in case) that I have on my laptop to the SDcard, everything copies over and shows up in TWRP restore except the Data files, it says they are too big to copy, each is around 1.5GB

Am I ok to do a restore without the Data files?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mooseknuckles1:
Well I seem to have solved it.

In TWRP I did a complete format

Rebooted into TWRP

Plugged into laptop with Mount>MTP Enabled

Transfered ROM onto device

Flashed

Rebooted to system

Everything seems to be back to normal. Phone is rooted, local memory reads and writes fine. Just have to transfer my Titanium backup from laptop to phone and do an app restore.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eternasparta:
what rom have you flashed? Cm or oxygen or other?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mooseknuckles1:
Oxygen

I have a new problem, when I try to pull down the notification tab, the second swipe down doesn't open the setting and quick toggle menu. If I restart the phone it lets me do it for about the first 10 seconds but then something must load that prevents it.

'back' is the only haptic button that works too. The others vibrate indicating they've been pushed but no action is performed. I check in Button Settings to insure they have tasks assigned to them

In Gmail, links also don't open

If I search with the Google search bar and try to open one of the results, i just get a grey-white screen that says "google apps", if i go back it usually opens the result to Chrome

Wiped Dalvik to see if that had any effect, it didn't.

Hey all :)

Over the past three or four years I've done a wee bit of theming, starting with my iPod touch 4th Gen (I swear Apple makes it harder and harder to theme with every iOS update!) and now with Android. I've gotta say, I like Android much better in terms of theming things. I've used Zooper Widget and Kustom Live Wallpaper, and this is just a spot to share the stuff I've made as I go and as I learn. Anything new I create will be uploaded to Box.

Some notes:

I use Nova Launcher Beta as my launcher

Please don't download something of mine and republish it as your own. I'm just like everyone else here and I like to be credited for my work :) and if you inspire me to create something, I too will give you credit

Constructive criticism of my stuff is welcome, but please don't be rude.

If a link isn't working and you want to download something, shoot me a PM. I can't promise that I'll get back to you right away (I work 35-50 hours a week at a Wendy's in my home town and I also have classes at a nearby community college), but I will do my best

Dock Battery Meter for App Drawer

Something I've had for Zooper for a while now.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matts908:
Hello,

Just yesterday I got my Elephone p5000

I have been setting up applications and so on. I have installed xposed and installed one hand module. It worked OK.

Later I was trying to setup google authenticator and the device just hang and rebooted.

And it went into bootloop.

I can't go to recovery mode: VolumeUP+Home+Power-> Recovery mode just starts another bootloop.

So I tried to flash an official rom from with sp flash tool SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1504.00.000.

It works OK and completes with green indicator. But I still have the same bootloop.

I tried to flash custom recovery tool: TWRP_Recovery_2850_P5000 it also flashes successfully but no use of doing that. Nothing happens.

I have formatted the device along with bootloader with sp flash tool and flashed with official rom. No use.

The device goes into fastboot mode. I tried to flash TWRP recovery.img with help of fastboot but it gives an error:

FAILED (remote:

partition 'recovery' not support flash)

So far I tried all these things.

I am a newbie in flashing and using android devices. I have been using iphone so far. So sorry if I used wrong terms.

FYI:

The battery cannot be taken from the device. I am clicking on reset button on the back of device to switch it off.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cracktech:
An MTK device is very hard to "brick" IF you happen to have the the firmware in SpFlashTool format - there is one on "needrom.com" and use the SpFlashTool v5.11452 or better (so far that is the latest for Octa Core 64bit). I specialises in modding MTK centric ROM , I know what I am saying. If bootloop it probably (guessing only) the TWRP version is not suitable for P5000 , there is always CWM to fall back(try searching on MIUI site).

Although I know a lot of users like to use Xposed but I never ever put any Xposed modules in my mod ROM , I want a working ROM for my users to enjoy their devices. I stayed away from Xposed bcoz I had seen some bad after effect , even after uninstalling the modules there are some stray files left behind. Good luck.

Hi.

i've used cm12 for several months with no issue.

just for the spen and ir blaster i've decided to use a tw rom.

both aryamod 5.0 and the tweaked 5.0 tw rom (i think it was gooh's rom) gave me a problem with video playback.

on youtube or just playing a video using mxplayer, making my n9005 fps problems, audio/video out of sync and the videos gets stuck while audio keeps playing.

pause-play or seeking the time will make video play normally again for a few seconds.

I've recently re-flashed to cm12 nightly 4/2. The play store always says "Check your connection and try again". I've tried all the things I can find on the forums. Anyone know how to fix this?

Factory reset, flash cm11, boot up, flash cm12, flash gapps

Factory reset, flash cm11, flash gapps, boot up, flash cm12, flash gapps

run all clear cache etc

force stop play services / store, delete all user data

create new google account

drink

What's really weird is things like gmail, etc, are syncing. When I search for something in the play store I'm getting search matches while typing, but nothing comes up if I hit search.
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Have you tried a different gapps? And do you have the gapps for proper Android version?

Also, you can try deleting data on play store, play services and Google services framework. Then reboot. Try again.

But a different gapps package can sometimes do the trick. And again, must be the gapps made for the Android version you're flashing.

Is your custom recovery up to date?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] fsecor:
Guys,

Here's a new one on me. New Cingy ROM w/1.40 radio installed yesterday.

Most of day reinstalling apps. No biggie. This AM had the unit out of the USB cradle and ON the HTC charger cable.

Noticed that I had no or VERY low sounds. Ring in, screen clicks (set to loud), everything I tried resulted in little, if any, sound. Ahhhh !!!

Cleared and reinstalled the OS. Restore from yesterday backup on hold. STILL no sounds.

Now what ? Take it back to Cingy ? Hmmm rather not waste the time doing that. Searched the Forum. Stopped the startup animation. STILL no sound.

Pulled it off charger to play around with sounds screens some more. BINGO, sound was BACK.

Restored my backup. All except this AM's install is back. Sounds work fine --- UNTIL I plug in the charger, then they're gone again.

Anyone else experienced this ???

MUST be a new "feature" from the ROM gurus at AT&T or HTC.

Wanted to post something in case someone else has the same heart-failure I did this AM. Now will finish my install, rebackup, and get back to work on more mundane items.

PS, if anyone has a hack to disable this wonderful new feature, please post it. I'd rather have the sounds than the heart-failure again. THANKS
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Karzi:
Its not a dodgy pin on the charger making it think its a handsfree kits as well as a charger?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] fsecor:
Off in a different direction

Karzi,

Well, your question led me off in another direction.

Removed the HTC Y-connector on the end of the charger cable. Charger alone results in sounds, no problem. Returned the Y into the mix, sounds, no problem. THEN, attached the mini-USB to mini-Stereo adapter I had purchased (to allow regular stereo headphones to work) to the Y-connector... NO sounds.

Apparently the new OS now recognizes that there are "headphones" attached (even though it's only the converter) and turns down the speaker volume to "non-existant", although not completely muted...

See, I said it was a new "feature".

Mystery, however, is solved.

Will now store the usb to stereo adapter with the headphones, rather than leaving it in the charger cable.

THANKS for the "redirect".

Hi

I have a new tablet (Medion Lifetab s10346) running KitKat that works fine with all sorts of periperals (mouse, umts-stick, hard-drive, hub) I have connected so far via otg.

And I have a Cherry G230 usb keyboard that works fine on my PC and my raspberry.

But when I connect the keyboard via otg to the tablet it is not recognized as a keyboard and does not work at all. The device shows up on the usb-bus (when I do a "lsusb" in a terminal) but that's it.

Even though the keyboard has a few non-standard multimedia-keys I would have expected that it would at least get recognized as a generic HID-keyboard....

Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be and if there is anything I could do to address it?

Many thanks!

I don't believe that unlocking the bootloader depends on the ROM version. All you need to do is check to see if your bootloader is eligible for unlocking from the Motorola website.

With the lack of developer support this would be the final nail in the coffin for this phone in my opinion.

I've got 64GB. Works just fine now. I've had a problem writing on it. It sad that it is write protected. Which it wasn't.

I searched and found a solution. There is an app in the play store called SD card fixer (or something like that) and it says it's for kitkat (but it works on lollipop just fine). I just run it once and it was fine ever since. I did a factory reset quite a few times and never bothered to re-install the app so I'm not sure about its name anymore.
