[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] anader:
I was told to redirect my question here. My original post is :

Hi, my name is Anthony and I have a T-Mobile S5 running the latest version of android (I think it's 5.0.1 or 5.0). I'm kinda a newb with flashing and rooting. I had my phone rooted using towel root a while ago, but I lost that root in an update and it is no longer supportive of my phone.

I'm looking to install custom roms but before I do so, I would like to make a full backup of my current stock touch wiz so I can revert to it in case I don't like the new rom. I also would like to root my phone. Oh, and before anyone tells me that I need to install Odin, I have a Mac running Yosemite.... A lot of people have told me that I need to install clock work in order for this whole process to work.

Recap advice/how to:

1. Make backup rom

2. Root phone

3. Teach me how to flash roms using a Mac.

4. Include any other important info and links for downloads.

I mainly want to install CM12, but I still want a backup rom to revert to later

Thanks, and please don't post any hate
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] king3opobn:
There is well written instructions on the web already. Maybe I could find a link for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] anader:
That would be great. I've tried a couple with no success
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] androidddaaron:
Just use a windows pc... borrow one its 5 minutes to root.

Use odin.

You can downgrade to kit Kat also if u want u don't have to stay on 5.0

there are not many 5.0 roms or even customization for lollipop ,you will discover that fast.

Are we sure that these do not work with the leather version?
[G4 Accessories] blackout720:
Who said that they don't? Does the leather give more to the phones size?
[G4 Accessories] Sfkn2:
Amazon says it. Did you see the original link? Leather supposedly makes the phone slightly thicker.
[G4 Accessories] xxlikquidxx:
code "LGG4C380" expired on Amazon
[G4 Accessories] geoff5093:
Yeah, when I ordered the case when this deal first came out, there was no disclaimer. Now that I have it and have a leather G4 on the way I can't use it.
[G4 Accessories] Sfkn2:
Try it first, I guess?
[G4 Accessories] geoff5093:
I'll try it, but it was only $3 so not really a big deal. I don't think I'd want to cover up that nice leather with a plastic/rubber case anyways haha
[G4 Accessories] blackout720:
A lot of company's don't stat that the leather back is not compatible. Honestly though if you bough that type then it was cause you wanted to show it off and liked the look. Hopefully you can buy the stock backing for cheap.
[G4 Accessories] geoff5093:
Well I decided to try the Spigen thin case on the leather G4, and it fit perfectly! It wasn't even a tight fit.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] rcglextacy:
Hello, I've had my Alpha for about a month now. Got it for a great deal thru AT&T. It's been working fine... until it got the 5.0.2 Lollipop update. UGH. now its freaking out and half the functions dont seem to be working correctly, The phone app locks up, the lockscreen freezes and displays a black bar at the top, youtube videos crash the phone, and part of my touchscreen stopped responding! Please note NOTHING was wrong with the phone until after this update. the phone has never been dropped or been near water. Any ideas on how to fix this, or do I need to get ATT to replace the phone? it's brand new... i dont want a refurb and thats probably what they're gonna try to stick me with so I'd rather try and fix it. I've already performed a master reset, did absolutely nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Valera1978:
Please try to factory reset, but you will lose all of the data (before copying all the necessary information).

Turn off the phone. Then press the buttons: volume+ + home + power for about 8 seconds. You will be in recovery mode.

Then, use the volume+ and volume- select "wipe data/factory reset" and press the power button, and then select Yes and power again.

Then you also do the same for "wipe cache partition".

Then "reboot system now".
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] sk-135:
Hi,

I'm new here. I hope, not to bother you with a Question, that has been answered a million times, but I couldn't find anything concerning my problem.

I own a HTC Universal, branded as MDA Pro by t-mobile Germany. It works fine so far, not very fast, but OK as a telephone and organizer. Even Navigon 5 worked quick and smooth. Now I've installed Navigon 6, to get newer maps. After the installation the problems began. The application works slow. Calculating a route of 100 kilometres takes up to 4 minutes, and often breaks up with memory allocation errors.

Now my question:

Can I do anything, to make the application work more fast and stable, or should I forget Navigon 6 and return to Navigon 5?

Technical data:

MDA Pro

ROM-Version: 1.30.113 GER

ROM-Date: 04/13/06

Radio: 1.10.03

Ext. ROM: 1.30.223

Hope, you can help me.

Thanks in advance

Kai

Man, check navigon.de and get the 6.1 upgrade.

DONT remove your 6.0 installations, 6.1 DOES need it.

Viel Glück, nach dem Patch wirds viel viel flüssiger ;)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] sk-135:
Hi,

thanks for the tip. I forgot to mention: The version is 6.1.5 build 741, but it's still slow and unstable.

@ HansiHusten: hat leider nicht geklappt. Es ist zwar etwas schneller aber...:rolleyes:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] HansiHusten:
MHh i think i know what you mean.

First to know is, that N6 needs ~25MB of RAM. I have Ilauncher installed and can check this and i also have a nice little app which closes all open programms with 1 click, so that it does free RAM.

When not 25MB RAM avail. it will "crash" not realy but asks what apps can be closed to save RAM, but actually THIS does crash the software.

So a reboot before using it and unloading some today plugins could help. Took me some time to figure that out ;) But 6.1 is still a little bit faster than 6.0 :D

You may want to check this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=302467

Navigon site specifically lists that Navigon 6 is NOT compatible with Universals (Qtek 9000 for example, but O2 XDA Exec is exactly the same device except keyboard backlight colour may be :))

The reason for this incompatibility, as we had found in that thread, -- is that Navigon requires a lot of memory to operate and behaves badly when it does not get this amount of memory. In this case Navigon 6 is even worse than Navigon 5.

TomTom 6 can operate very well on 12-18 MB RAM and if you try to use further routes or re-enter other destinations, deals with memory release very well. Navigon does not. Even version 5 of Navigon was great if you were entering just 1 destination, but try entering another, or look for POI nearby, and you get it slower, slower and it finally hangs and you would have to warm reset the device.

(That said, I loved having Navigon 5... fantastically well made software... shame it's not for Universals. I paid good money for it and was quite appalled to find that long awaited Navigon 6 will not be useful for my Universal... a big eff you into my face. Well may be my next device will be compatible and I'll get upgrade pricing then.)

I have a Note 3 unrooted running lollipop and I am happy with it. I could upgrade to Note 4 but thinking maybe it's worth it to just wait... What does the Note 4 have that makes it do much better than 3? Or is it better to wait?

I personally am waiting. Note 4 is an incremental step. The 5 will be a huge step from where we are now.

Deuce_Biggins, I was wondering if you would be able to extract the dialer in the first post and possibly make it a brighter royalish/cobalt blue? Would that be too much to ask? Thanks for the work that you do, much appreciated.

If you are running benzo rom the keyboard is still not working properly, please activate one of the holo themes in keyboard settings before applying the theme

******GOOGLE KEYBOARD WORKS BEST*******

Just to let you know Benzo also uses a unique Gallery that I have not yet completed...if you get any FC's with the Gallery it will reopen but an update will come soon

EDIT*** IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED AS OF THIS MOMENT TO USE WITH BENZO ROM. NEED TO DETERMINE WHAT THE TRUE ISSUES ARE WITH KEYBOARDS

Hi deuce_biggins,

I just purchased the pro version and left you feedback in the PlayStore...

I wanted to post a screener of the white text on white background issue I spoke about...

The screenshot dismisses the menu but when I start typing to go through my contacts, this is when the issue happens... Hope this helps...
[Android Themes] deuce_biggins:
Thanks for the feedback, I'll download the latest AICP and check it out. I use Euphoria as my base rom and the menu is fine for me...so I'll see what the differences are. Thank you for the purchase
[Android Themes] deuce_biggins:
It may not be possible to fix on AICP...they have another xml in the Layouts folder that makes the background white. The CM Theme Engine doesn't touch anything in the Layouts folder...this xml is unique to AICP from what I can tell...unless other ROM's haven't caught up yet. I will do my best and talk to other devs to figure out what's going on. I haven't given up yet :)

I have Nexus 5 with Chroma installed and Pioneer 4100NEX.

I plug in my phone into USB port 2, go thru setup process on my phone, then I get to this screen on my head unit. I can't seem to get pass it. Anyone have any ideas? I tried restoring my head unit and phone, but I haven't tried a different ROM yet. My head unit detects the AndroidAuto device, but I can't get pass this "Drive safely..." prompt.

Well, I cannot post any links yet, but I'll do my best to explain the screen I see. The bottom half of screen is sky blue with a checkbox and "do not display this notice again." I have seen other videos where this sky blue portion is only along the bottom of the screen, but mine takes up half the screen. The checkbox to accept the prompt overlap with "do not display this notice again," so I can't get pass it...

[Android Auto General] akp982:
Hiya

Are you using cm 12.1 nightly? Looks like the density / resolution is off so the button you need is hidden.

They changed something in one of them which mucks up the screen density / resolution.

I found the 22nd nightly for one plus works at the right resolution which will allow you to click the buttons you need.

Check your devices cm change log for density and goto the night before.

Andy

Sorry just saw chroma mentioned in your post... Stand by that the density is wrong as such would try a different room. Shouldn't look like that.
[Android Auto General] namiam:
Appreciate the tip. I found the density setting. Mine is currently at "480 DPI (device default)."
[Android Auto General] akp982:
Hiya

I don't think that makes much / any difference, didn't for me, that changes the density on the phone but not on android auto.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdgreat4:
Hey guys,

So I have had the m7 for exactly 2 years now. Performance wise, it's still pretty smooth but the battery life is beginning to get horrible. With all the updates over the years, the battery life just seems to be dropping. I get max 45 mins to 1 hour screen on time and total life of about 10 hours or 12 on a good day. I've tried a lot of different roms but in the end they all show the same stats. I'm beginning to think my battery is wearing out. Do you guys think this is the case? And if it is should I go to the service center and get it replaced or do it on my own? (It's obviously not under warranty). I live in India.

Thanks! :)
