The great thing about the internet and the millions of subject based forums is that folks from all over the world can get together and share information on the subject of their choice. This free flow of information coupled with our fast paced lifestyle does lend to folks wanting to ask rather than search since they see it as the fastest way to get the information they seek. For the most part a gentle nudge in the right direction is all they need. The downside is that forums also provide a venue for those who lack knowledge to demonstrate their self perceived superiority anonymously. It's far easier and less costly to ignore a post that you think doesn't deserve a response. If you feel the need to reply you should respect the individuals who are providing the equipment, time, and bandwidth that makes the forum you are using possible. You do this by posting intelligent and informative responses.

Im basically in the wizard forum.

Just got the hermes so im here. But i don't see the people here in this forum helpful (except Pof and some other moderators) like in wizard's forum. There are not soo good guides here (except mvarnx) for upgradation. I have a hard time searching the whole forum to get all those little information about upgrades.

If i learn something about the upgradation(basically for SSPL) i will write it coz i dont find it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] JasenR:
Welcome to the Hermes! Most of the folks here are helpful, and lately it has been getting better! mvarnx does in fact provide some awesome guides, and he gets them updated quickly when a new ROM comes out, so no need for anyone to duplicate his work. The wiki covers most everything else having to do with Hermes upgrades. Searching the site with google will also provide pretty good results. See this thread from Olipro concerning hard SPL.

this is a great forum and yes things will die down in a little while, i am a noob and have been flashing and stuff for a few months. i was a little more diligent than most as i wanted to keep a low profile. i am still a noob but i am more comfortable with posting now. there are some great moderators and some not so great but to each is own right. i hope one day i could be a moderator although it might be a slim chance, still a dream. i crave knowledge so i read and read but with out bringing up specific people i feel there are senior members and members that seem to be more willing to help in certain situations than some moderators. and these are valuable people to this forum. sluth, sho, mike, are just some of the great moderators of this wonderful forum and the fact that they are more open minded than most is one of there great virtues. well thats my 2

Speculate to accumulate, educate the new people and there will be a greater knowledge base in the future, or comtinue thinking as you are and there will only be a select few doing what they do

ROFL :D

Sorry to buzz in , i followed this thread and it'sinteresting...plenty opinions all different but true.

I reply alot even to silly questions...but doing that, every time i hope that it won't be asked again and if some guy is just plain ignorant, then i will know that *I* did my best.

Basicaly the idea is that if you don't reply then he will get even more persistent and more and more till you'll end up throwing your PC out the window... Well i don't want to go there.

I hope that if i answer one guy then he has the power to answer to the new one that asked the same question he once did .. and so on, you create a chain of noobs answering each other until they're no noobs anymore...That's my dream :)

We've all made mistakes and done things when we should have known better, but IMHO noobs/newbs/nübß are merely experts in waiting - ask question, seek answer (preferably from the Wiki!), share knowledge, rinse and repeat. That way, everyone benefits, in the end, and building your own light saber is the path to enlightenment.

I have no problem with people asking questions - but there's a world of difference between ignorance and stupidity.

Lacking knowledge is very different to thinking you have an inalienable right to laziness and answers to your questions (proportionate to the number of !!!). I love to help when I can, but I detest when people are just too lazy to try and learn: experts and nuwbs alike.

Hello guys!

I downloaded the factory image for my device.

I'm currently running PA 5 Alpha 2 and Hellscore, using TWRP, rooted and unlocked of course.

I'm trying to flash the factory image with no success, I got "boot.img file not found" error.

I just edited the flash-all.bat file and deleted the -w because I want to keep my data.

Any ideas? What am I doing worng?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TesseractE:
I had that problem too... Decided to try KitKat External SD Card Patch from Google Play to see if it would work and it did. Requires Root, though, as I'm sure any sort of fix for this would.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gitaroo:
I used ES file explorer, I had to allow SD card access before I was able to use it normally. No root require. I tried to moved some apps to my sd card works too. You should try to move apps to sd. If that doesn't work then its either your SD card is dead or the writer is dead.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IgorEisberg:
If you have root access.

1. As Root, Browse to "system/etc/permissions" (I recommend using FX File Explorer)

2. Open the file "platform.xml" for Edit.

3. Under "android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE", add the line "<group gid="media_rw" />".

From:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
</permission>

to:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>

4. Save and reboot.

You'll have normal SD card access for all your apps.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IgorEisberg:
Before you open the file for edit, you need to "remount system as R/W". I'm not sure where to do that in ES, but it's really straightforward in FX.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IgorEisberg:
Well, in FX File Explorer you just go into "System (Root)", then to "system" folder and click the lock icon on the action bar to remount as read/write. After editing you click that icon again to remount as read-only. Really simple.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SUPERUSER:
If your file don't have it you could inject these lines in to your file at

Starting at line 65 or 66

<permission name=android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>

Starting at line 76

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>

I looked at platform.xml on both my honami and Endeavoru (HTC) and they are very similar, the HTC starts one line below each 65.

If you keep those lines inside the same area I think it will be okay.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Hackerlacka:
Hi, I recently installed official android 5.1 from factory source but now I have issues "missing" storage.

32GB Nexus 7 2013 (Wifi)

TOTAL: 26,9 GB

Used: 17,3GB

Free: 9,6GB

Theese numbers are not supposed to be what they are right out of the box with barely no apps installed and nothing else stored. I am supposed to have much more free space.

I followed this guide to install every .img file manually that was included in the official factory images.

Install instructions followed:

Flash bootloader and radio (radio does not appear on all devices, if it's not in your tgz, you don't need it)

fastboot flash bootloader <bootloader file name here>.img

fastboot flash radio <radio file name here>.img

After flashing the bootloader/radio, you need to reboot the bootloader as shown below, don't skip this step!

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now you can move on to the rest of the files

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

NEXUS 9 ONLY - flash this as well

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

If you want to wipe cache and user data (full wipe), flash these

fastboot flash cache cache.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

Finally, just reboot your device, and Android should start up.

fastboot reboot

The reason that I "manually" flashed every .img file is because I got errors when using the flash-all.bat file

archive does not contain 'boot.sig'

archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'

failed to allocate 842365088 bytes

error: update package missing system.img

Thanks in advance for help!

EDIT:

Confirmed: factory reset/data wipe in stock recovery solved the storage problem

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucenzo7:
I was watching a video review of the LG G3 by The Nerd Herd, and the guy said, and even showed that the LG's skin constantly used over 2 gigs of RAM all the time. Here's the link with timecode, so you can see the part where he talks about it: YouTube.

I want to buy the phone, but 2GB version is my only option and I'm a little bit worried after seeing this. Is this version noticeably slower than the 3GB version? How bad is it?

I also wanna mention that I will install a custom software for sure, probably the CloudyG3, or Cyanogenmod, or something close to stock Android, so I won't stick with LG's firmware.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *GalaxyDev*:
It really isn't bad at all, I have had this phone since Kitkat and at maximum the RAM will go as up as 80% percent. It never passes it and it usually is at 56% percent with a GB free for use of the 1.8 it shows.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] draskome:
In this moment, and for current android versions, 2GB is more than enough.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karim-ps:
ok, better charge it when it gets as low as 30% and better not fully charge it, but 85-90% will be great for long term life. and never let it connected if it happened to reach 100%, also better keep it somewhere cold and definitely not under sunlight
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haldi4803:
It is said to live longer if you charge it from 50 to 90%.

That said, if you charge it from 0 to 100% every 2 days, or charge it from 50 to 90% ever day.... well... the end result is the same... it doesn't matter at all.

The battery already has safety over/undervoltage protection, therfore charching it as you like doesn't change much at all. You will see that a phone left at 100% in the charger will drop to 97-95% before it starts charging again.

i think the battery in the Z2 was said to handle about 600 cycles with less than 10% Battery degration.

if you charge it every 2 days thats about 3.5 years.
