I have been using a Siemens SX-56 relatively successfully for over a year and am wowed by the XDA features once I easily unlocked it from AT&T's service (incidentally I was amazed more recently to find an almost unknown T-Mobile version of it existing!)

I am now about to make the leap to WiFi operation on my PDA and have a VoIPFone account in the UK with an ordinary UK number. (X-Lite works really well on my home computer. A Vonage account I also have on a land-phone is absolutely terrible and I will probably have to change it soon to someone like BroadVoice if anyone thinks that might be any better).

Can someone recommend me a phone to buy please? I don't mind looking on ebay and unlocking one but I need to be able to input my VoIPFone account details and exchange files with Outlook as I am doing at the moment.

I PRESUME I have to use an HTC of some flavour and wonder which would be the least expensive as I can't imagine it will get all that much use? Are the ones with large screens MORE expensive as they are easier to read or LESS as they are larger and therefore older as the current trend is towards smaller phones?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
trend for htc devices is both smaller and bigger depend on how much it's a phone and how much it's a UCPC

http://www.htc.com/product/03-products.htm

middle path is prob

HTC P3600

and

htc tytn
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] licensedtoquill:
Yes, on size, that is pretty much what I figured

But which is the least expensive one to go for (similar to the second, third and fourth rows on that page) if I am emphatically not looking for "The latest"?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] licensedtoquill:
Which one to look for?

Does it come down to either some flavour of the Wizard or the Blue Angel?

Does b or g make a difference with VoIP?

Is there a general view on whether you can get enough throughput on 802.11b to power VoIP effectively or if you need 802.11g? Or in practice doesn't it make any difference? I hear that the Wizard only does the b flavour?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
802.11b does from 4Mbit to 11Mbit

being that thats faster then most peoples internet

the wifi should not be a bottleneck
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PaulMdx:
I have a Wizard, and while it's an excellent device, bear in mind it's only got a 200 MHz proc (which granted you can overclock), which means it may not be ideal for VoIP. I know for Skype only the lower-power version works well, and you have to turn off noise cancelling on the standard WM version.

I have just upgraded to an Exec, and while it's certainly the most brick-like, you can pick them up for 200 quid on Ebay, and with a 520 Mhz processor you might find it is better.

NOTE. I have not used VoIP myself, this is just what I have read.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] licensedtoquill:
Not sure if I did the right thing (but it didnt cost me much)

Seeing your post I have bought a thing called a T-Mobile MDA (apparently not a Vario 11 or an MDA 111 unless there is some way of identifying these about which I am unaware?) which seems to be a Hermes and seems to have a processor about twice as fast.

There seem to be lots of threads on VoIP on these Hermes units: Is there a FULL thread here anywhere on putting any VoIP software on it please or necessary mods to it to let me do this? At the moment I am still trying to figure out how to get it to recognise NOT communicating through its Modem or through T-Mobile proprietary software. It does scan and judging by how many networks it sees out there, seems reasonably powerful? (doesnt show powers of networks at the moment of course). But it doesn't let me surf, having actually connected to some network?

Sorry 'bout that, it IS a Wizard!

Hi guys,

I would like to change my rom to try lollipop (again :P ) but recently i have no time to do so

So could you share your experience of using some of them? i saw 5.1 based - are they more stable?

my current 4.1.2 based rom started to lagging freezing so i need to do factory reset anyway. Is any lollipop rom stable enough to daily use?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3ph3sus:
Imo Omni is very stable. I am using it since 3 weeks and only dirty flashing the updates and there was no freeze until now. The only problem is that sometimes the wifi connection doesn't work on the first try. Having the age of our smartphone (almost 4 years) in mind I would say that it cant be smoother.

[CM12, 12.1][Moto E] Removed network activity indicators & improved signal/wifi icons

Hello guys :D

For those users who hate those little grey network activity indicators over wifi and signal icons in CM12 and CM12.1, here's a treat for you!

I have modified the SystemUI.apk and implemented the following changes:

Network activity indicators have been removed!

Spacing between the dual SIM signal indicators has been increased slightly and thus they appear better than the original look where both the indicators almost touch each other.

Signal icons are a bit bigger (than the original small ones which look too small besides the battery icon).

The CM's ugly extra-wide wifi icon has been replaced with the original, sleek and elegant wifi icon from Motorola.

Annoying exclamation marks have also been removed!

Original CM look, click to enlarge:

View attachment 3271089

Modified new look, click to enlarge:

View attachment 3269705

I have flashable ZIPs for you which you can simply flash from your custom recovery and your SystemUI.apk will be replaced. Please make a backup of the original file located at /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk. The original file permissions are rw- r-- r-- and chown root:root.

Please note that this file will only work on Moto E XT1022 and

most probably other variants as well

, you can try, but backup the original before you do so. I will not be responsible for any thermo-nuclear war taking place on your device after this :laugh:

I generally never ask for thanks, but this time I would like to because it was a lot of work :silly: :p

Here's the new fixed flashable ZIP for CM12: View attachment 3269858

And here's the one for CM12.1: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3270867&d=1429455639

This one is for CM12.1 only with roaming icon (R) removed from the signal icons in addition to the other aforementioned modifications: View attachment 3271161

Enjoy :victory:

How did I do it:

Decompiled SystemUI.apk

Lollipop uses vectors to draw the status bar icons you see on the top right, means there's no png you can simply replace and get your work done.

I totally removed the vectors references of the required icons and placed raster images in the required resolution folder (Moto E is an hdpi device). When systemUI can't find vectors, it looks for rasters. That did the trick (those XML files are too hard to understand and edit, so I decided to do a trial and throw them away and that worked! :p )

Did a lot of photoshopping to generate the required icons, resizing them and properly aligning them.

Using raster images also resulted in automatic removal of the annoying exclamation marks which were defined in the vector XMLs.

I also removed the network activity indicators' vector references and replaced them with 1x1 transparent PNG images! Now they are invisible! :p

The icons are originally from a Nexus device's stock LP. Had to resize and re-align them for our Moto E which is hdpi unlike Nexus.

That's it :)
[Moto E Themes and Apps] ChaTy:
Will it work with Cm12.1 ?

btw thanks for that! i ssly needed this..haha
[Moto E Themes and Apps] nilanko:
If CM12.1's systemUI file is different, then probably it won't but there is no harm in trying, you can always backup the original and restore later. You'll face a systemUI FC if it doesn't work, then you'll have to reboot to recovery to restore your backup.

If you have already downloaded, please re-download the fixed file (fixed some icons alignment problems, now it's perfect :) ).

I haven't yet moved to CM12.1 as I can't live without xposed :p

Naah! System ui stops... doesnt work on 5.1 aka cm12.1 ,

[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] can u plz make a zip for cm12.1?
[Moto E Themes and Apps] nilanko:
Seems like you understood the mystery behind the file name and also understood my frustration (had to edit, decompile and recompile a hell lot of times, and hence the file name) :p

I wanted to change the filename before uploading but I forgot, lol. :silly:

Give me your SystemUI.apk and I'll do it :)
[Moto E Themes and Apps] nilanko:
[MENTION=5064532]ChaTy[/MENTION], please make a RAR with the highest compression, I am low on data and my wifi is not working today, so I gotta save up.
[Moto E Themes and Apps] mepsilon2:
[MENTION=5888184]nilanko[/MENTION]

My systemui.apk build 19/04 cm12.1. max compression used:)
[Moto E Themes and Apps] nilanko:
Ugh sorry I forgot to mention that I also need framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ because apktool needs resource tables from the framework in order to decompile the systemUI.apk. I tried with CM12's framework-res.apk but as expected, it didn't work :(

Please ZIP and upload that file but since it is a large file, I won't be able to download it until my wifi works so please be patient :D

But I still can't guarantee, success only depends on the ability to decompile LP 5.1 files by apktool.
[Moto E Themes and Apps] mepsilon2:
here

orig. size was 17 mb;)
[Moto E Themes and Apps] nilanko:
Here you go: View attachment 3270867

Please note that I have used the latest apktool for LP 5.1 but it's still in alpha stage. Although files were successfully decompiled and recompiled, there is no guarantee that the systemUI would work. Please test it on your CM12.1 and report back.

Please make a backup of your systemUI.apk. If you face FC, go to recovery and copy it back to /system/priv-app/SystemUI/ and set chmod to 0644 and reboot.

[Moto E Themes and Apps] nilanko:
Yeah I know that. Infact, the CM's ugly battery icon was the starting point of my frustration that led me to modify other icons. I attempted modifying the battery icon but it's damn tricky. It resides in the framework-res.apk and I don't understand what to edit and what not. I was unsuccessful and thus adjusted myself with the circle battery icon. I'm sorry, it's a bit too hard for me :(

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerDude:
Hello,

Earlier this week my nexus 5 refused to boot after i powered it down while at work. The phone begins to boot up but hangs at the spinning colored circles, i have left this over 24 hours and there is no change.

The device is stock and unrooted, I have tried a factory reset from recovery mode which completed OK however did not fix the problem.

At this point i would of normally just RMAd the device however i bought it on amazon, and the seller appears to have imported it from Hong Kong, so there was no valid warranty for me to claim under. Lesson learned there for the future but not a great help for me at the moment.

Because the device would still power up and since the warranty was already invalid i decided to try flashing it to factory. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed a factory image to the device in hopes this would resolve the fault but again just had the same results, I am however totally new to doing this so may have made a mistake here, but from what i can tell i followed the process correctly as i did not receive any errors.

The phone still boots to the same point, and i am still able to access the bootloader, is there anything else you think i can try or is the device bricked?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:

After running the factory reset and rebooting the phone it is still stuck at boot
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerDude:
So today after reading around I've found a number of people with similar issues that made some progress by reverting to Kitkat, so i re-flashed the phone to 4.4.4.

The phone now boots up again however i have no reception at all, Google Play store and the camera also appear to not work. All other functions I've tried seem to be OK so there's at least some progress.

I let the phone update back to 5.0.1 but just ended up not booting again so i downgraded once more.

I would be perfectly happy to remain on 4.4.4 so long as my phone actually worked, but at the moment nothing I've tried has managed to correct the lack of reception. I've not found anything online to solve the problem even though some people have mentioned the same issues after downgrading.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] joaopada:
Hello there. Currently rocking a rooted Xperia E (C1505 phone). I am trying to flash a new ROM for my phone, but all the instructions seem to revolve around getting CWM or TWRP. I sort of understand what they do/how they work. However, when I go to either here or here, Xperia E isn't listed anywhere! Even thought posts like this or this one mention using CWM to flash the ROM.

I also understand that CWM allows you to make a nandroid backup, but I've done one with the "Online Nandroid" app, so I'm safe :P

Another thing that I seem to have understood is that CWM is a modified unlocked bootloader, and that you load into this by pressing the volume down key while turning on the phone. So I've done research, even thought I haven't fully understand it!

Any help clearing this up is very appreciated! Thanks.

I was hoping 5.1 might fix it, but it still doesn't work.
