hi there,

As you will guess by my question and post count i am a fully fledged n00b and have just bought the o2 xda orbit.

It such a great forum and enjoying reading all these mod's however there is one slight problem...

...how do you add them all?! i can obviously download all the files etc to my desktop (PC) but how do i then get them to install and work on my xda? e.g. quickgps mod, emulators, themes etc?

i imagine its very easy to answer and thanks in advance :D
[General Topics] jaceuk:
just sync ur pda to pc,some progs will require a simple click ,if this needs you to do more on the device it will prompt you

other will need transfering onto your memory card and activating from your pda

i used this method with trail and error

good luck buddy
[General Topics] cmoll:
yeah ive tried syncing it and it does connect but then unsure of where to put the files.

For example i have the file to update the quickgps to locate quicker. Its in a .arm file and inside that is one file which is quick~g.000. I dont know whether to put the .arm or .000 onto the xda and when i have found that out in which folder do it put it when on explore of the XDA through activesync?

Thanks for the reply.

massive help and all understood now. tried both cab and exe files and both work great, thanks alot

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ramjet6973:
No, Im uable to go into recovery as well. I feel like ive hit the end of the line, here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bilgerryan:
What does it do when you try to boot into recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ramjet6973:
The Galaxy screen flashes on then off, then turns off again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bilgerryan:
Does it say "Booting Recovery" in blue? What's the problem you're having with Odin?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ramjet6973:
No recovery in blue. I mentioned odin because it's not showing that I'm plugged into the PC. When I try to power up or try to put it into recovery, the Galaxy screen just flashes on once and then powers off. I'm able to go into download mode, but it's unreadable by the PC. I've tried two different PCs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bilgerryan:
On the S3 we had "debrick images" you could put on your sdcard and push it through adb, but you said that's not working. I've heard J-Tag can bring phones back too but I don't know anything about it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ramjet6973:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bilgerryan:
that's nothing out of the ordinary... I'm surprised your Knox counter isn't 0x1 with a custom binary, everything else is normal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ramjet6973:
Must have been a typo..yes it was 0x1. Well, I want to thank you for your time. I downloaded and installed the full sdk and so it now recognizes and I've got my baby rolling again. Thanks again, good chance we'll meet again if I keep dabbling in these affairs...have a good weekend.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] koivth:
If Odin is not recognizing your device in download mode, you might have luck using heimdall to flash a custom recovery, and restore a backup or flash a rom from there.

But yeah you should've tripped Knox if you've used Odin to flash anything besides a stock tar.

Edit: didn't see your post above. Glad you got it working. Those pesky drivers

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ksloh1:
Having read wugfresh page,it says Since lollipop,its hard to sideload OTA now. I myself try it last night with my rooted stock recovery,it fails to install the OTA from google,even if file has been downloaded automatically. Its harder to get OTA install smoothly nowadays especially if you on lollipop. No choice had full flash without wipe. And reroot again.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Didgeridoohan:
Actually, it's just as easy sideloading as it's always been. The difference is that you can't sideload an OTA (or receive one in any way) if you've done any kind of alterations to the system. This includes rooting and/or flashing custom recoveries and kernels. Even if you unroot there are still residue alterations in your system, meaning you'll have to do a full system flash anyway.

It's worth mentioning that unlocking your bootloader does not prevent installing an OTA.

"nakasi" for Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi) 5.1.1 (LMY47V)
[Nexus 7 General] fortissimo:
I found 5.1 official stock quite laggy on mine, coming from 4.4.4 official stock. So I wonder if there is a silver lining on this 5.1.1 or not. I won't hold my breath, but surprised that Google is willing to upgrade it despite it doesn't perform very well (similar to my iPad 1st gen taking 5.1.1, ironically, now same version number).
[Nexus 7 General] iBolski:
I believe this was to fix the memory leak that was still present.

Installed via fastboot and rebooting now. Will update when I know more.

I do know that removing Facebook appears to help with performance, but there was still a performance issue on 5.1 that required a reboot at times.

I just think that this Nexus 7 (2012) is too old for LP.
[Nexus 7 General] gsmyth:
I think the memory leak still hasn't been fixed yet, or it seems Google have found a fix but it STILL hasn't been released so it won't be in the 5.1.1 update.

thats for the Nexus 5 though, I havent seen anything for the N7 yet.

2 of mine are bricked (one APX mode, the other corrupted emmc but seems to "work" - sort of - with all F2FS rom), I bought a board for $40 to replace one of them but the digitizer clamp and pins flaked off on contact when trying to reassemble it so Im reluctant to do anything with it without touch capability. its just going to sit there with my blutooth mouse for kitchen-netflix for now. Im thinking of selling them all "as is" but Im curious if this update pans out, I might keep the touchless one.
[Nexus 7 General] Varnak:
There's a lollipop rom for F2FS??
[Nexus 7 General] JerryPi:
Every lollipop rom can be run with f2fs on data and cache with an appropriate kernel. I use rastapop and franco kernel r82 in with f2fs and its golden 8-)
[Nexus 7 General] Varnak:
ok thanks. But i need to format system with normal partition?
[Nexus 7 General] JerryPi:
You leave system partition on default ext4.
[Nexus 7 General] Varnak:
How can i check wich partition are f2fs? i used a zip from this thread to convert http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2678140
[Nexus 7 General] JerryPi:
With the newer versions of twrp that zip is really not necessary to convert your partitions to a different file system.

To check and change format of your partitions go in your twrp recovery under wipe -advanced wipe - choose your partition - then repair or change your file system - there it says wich file system you are using and you can change it accordingly.
[Nexus 7 General] Fobos531:
in twrp when you are changing the filesystem, it tells you which is the current.

Edit: just saw JerryPi's post :D

Two days in, 5.1.1 clearly better than 5.1 on my 32gb n7 2012 wifi.

Stock load/kernel/ext4 filesystems maintained, factory reset, full device restore/reinstall from cloud backup, rooted via TWRP, updated with SuperSU.

Nova Launcher, I just prefer it, no functional reason over stock Launcher.

Kindle app runs noticeably better, heck the Zinio reader app seems to work well too.

Google sheets/docs/presentation seems good.

TapaTalk Pro works well, as does Feedly. Notably less latency on network i/o and page transitions.

Facebook app doesn't seem to bring it down, even without any services disabled.

Haven't tried Chrome yet, and need to reload my music/video content to see how Rocket Player does.

disclaimer: I've taken to running "Trimmer (fstrim)" on an automatic schedule, daily, to keep nand free block lists healthy. That probably helps. I was doing that on 5.1 though.

If this keeps up I'd consider it a completely reasonable upgrade from KK.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonk12:
Ok, around a week ago every time I turned my Nexus 5 on, the airplane mode was on once it booted. I can only see it when I long-press the power button, in the quick settings it appears off. When I try to turn it off from the menu it does nothing. I've tried everything, I just can't get around it! I rebooted, switched SIMs, changed rom, wiped data, cache, dalvik etc. Nothing! There's something I did that worked for a time. Once the phone booted up, I turned Airplane Mode on from the quick settings (that way it appears on form both the power button long-press menu and quick settings), then I rebooted the phone. Once it booted up again I turned Airplane Mode off from the quick setting and it would automatically turned off from the long-press menu. Sadly, that is not working anymore. Now I just have to reboot it multiple times and just wait until it turns on with the Airplane Mode off (which can take a lot time), and that doesn't always work. I really need help, I'm tired of switching phones because I can't turn the Airplane Mode off.

[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
I read today, and first I have seen, "The LG G4 price will be 649 USD for the model with the plastic back panel and 699 USD for the model with a leather back,

which also comes with a spare plastic battery cover

" and "The leather versions also come with a gold-colored plastic back. "

Price is not as high as I expected. I assume for the 32gb. Just early info for USD. And no idea how different carriers will modify this.
[G4 General] AhsanU:
Should be interesting to see how much the U.S. carriers will charge with contracts. Either way, the G4 has top notch specs at a lower than the competition price - I'm excited!
[G4 General] rushless:
Don't most people use a protective case? Seems the leather is superfluous in that regard. Too much money to break IMO to go naked.
[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
Nope... no case for me. I only use a case when I travel internationally. Otherwise.... never. ANd, the 1 case I have and do use is for he kickstand feature more than anything.

I won't be running a case on my G4. I do think the leather back might also offer some protection to a certain degree a glass or plastic back would not have.
[G4 General] geoff5093:
That's more expensive than I thought. The S6 starts at $599, and the LG G2 and LG G3 on release date were also $599. The G4 is such an incremental upgrade I don't see how they can charge that much.

I go naked with my phones, otherwise there is no point in getting a thin and good feeling/looking phone if you are going to put a bulky case on it. I don't use cases on my laptops either. As long as you have the mindset that you have an ultra portable $600 computer in your pocket, you are more careful with it.
[G4 General] mingkee:
Since I will put the protection on mine as soon as I got it, plastic cover is OK.
[G4 General] Phurkus:
Is there any cases for the leather cover yet?
[G4 General] DeadSOL:
The S6 costs $900+ here in Australia. I really hope that the G4 doesn't cost more than $700 otherwise I won't have money for it. :P
[G4 General] FluxionFluff:
I'm curious about the pricing too, like if the leather will have a similar price difference like the S6 has with the S6 Edge. I don't mind the leather, but that stitching irks the hell outta me. If I end up getting this phone, I probably will end up getting the plastic back, since I always put cases on my phones anyway.

Unless it WOWS me when I see the G4 in person, it depends on what leather options AT&T will have. I doubt any of the US carriers are gonna have the colored leather backs, unless LG plans on selling the back plates separately.
[G4 General] leroybrute:

[G4 General] LaTropa64:

[G4 General] kolembo:
I wish LG had put an aluminum frame around this handset.

The leather back is gorgeous, but if you look carefully, the frame is plastic and cheap looking.

I don't think it would cost a lot more to just frame and detail the phone in some lovely, machined metal and it would make the world of difference.

As it is, I'm not sure that in a few months, scuffed leather is going to look very nice with scuffed plastic.

My two cents.
[G4 General] FluxionFluff:
Speaking of scuffed leather, I saw Michael Fisher from Pocketnow's review of the G4 on YouTube and while he was been testing it, he mentioned that the corners already look scuffed. And that was only from taking the phone in/out from his pants pocket.
[G4 General] xetaray:
Isn't leather supposed to scuff? It makes it look more "cultured" or something, and is called a "patina".
[G4 General] jodvova:
You can buy it now for $1000 on eBay from HK/South Korea.
[G4 General] kamend:
This is good to know. I think that while it's advisable to get protector for a $700 device, the leather backing should provide all the support I need. I just need something to prevent the phone from sliding around on surfaces very much, and I think that with the leather, I will have no issues with that.

I'm glad that the phone is less than $1,000. My wife paid way too much for her iPhone, and while that is fine, money is not really an issue, I'm glad that this one is going to be reasonably price.

Thank you very much for sharing this information.
[G4 General] partylikeaninjastar:
I'm going to pass on leather out of the box since LG likes to show off things you can't purchase (the red leather, for example). I'll just rock the white ceramic in a case until months later when you can finally find replacement backs online, hopefully with wireless charging.

I'm surprised the quick circle cases don't come in any leather variety.

[G4 General] legend221:
I was thinking the same as well or even the plastic back. The leather backing is cool and all but serve more to people that have their phones without cases. I just couldn't live with myself if my phone fell and it get all dinged up or worst case scenario the screen crack / break.

My idea is to buy something to protect it from this but keep it as thin as possible. I've seen some people with cases so thick the look of the phone becomes disgusting.

What a ripoff but hey there's always someone out there that doesn't care and buy anyways.

Honestly I think it's pretty lame, in a few months the G4 will be common and all that money went to waste for absolutely nothing. Oh yeah they have the 'pleasure' of showing off the phone a few weeks before official launch. Hahaha.

[G4 General] tersagun:
I don't know if it's true but rumours say that G4 will launch at Turkey and Hong Kong this weekend; before anywhere else.

The official pricing is the same for every cover which is around 830$

Now official prices in Turkey are always high so in order for you to compare:

S6: 940$

S6 Edge: 1130$

iPhone 6 16GB: 880$
[G4 General] DeadSOL:
Looks similar to Australia. I really hope that it is not worth more than AUD $850. I can get an S6 for AUD $850 on eBay but it costs AUD $990+ in physical stores.

The price of the G3 has dropped to around AUD $450 which is really, really low for such a good phone.

EDIT: In comparison;

S6: AUD $990+

S6 Edge: AUD $1150+

iPhone 6 (16GB): AUD $999

LG G4: ?
[G4 General] thepanttherlady:
Be careful with cases

Not all cases are compatible with the leather backed versions of the G4. I purchased one on Ebay then noticed the exact same one on Amazon which stated it wasn't compatible. Upon contacting the Ebay seller they confirmed they'd just found out it wasn't. I ordered a second one on Amazon (different "model") that and the corner cracked.

Using a clear Spigen one I bought on Amazon and that one does work.
[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
So according to this link over at Best Buy for LG G4 preorders, Verizon does NOT appear to have a leather version for sale - at least not through BB.

LG - G4 Cell Phone - Metallic Gray (Verizon Wireless)

LG - G4 Cell Phone - Ceramic White (Verizon Wireless)

LG - G4 Cell Phone - Deep Blue (Verizon Wireless)

All are the plastic back and all are showing $610 retail.

The price I expected as it is in line with other leaks. Not seeing leather as an option for Verizon, that shocks me as it does show for ATT and Sprint.

Looks like we might have to buy the leather back of choice at retail then. Which might be good or bad. Good because we can go find a color we might want other than the carrier specific ones, but bad because the leather priced phones were rumored to come with leather AND plastic backs.
[G4 General] aw1974:
The problem with buying a plastic back initially is that the back buttons won't match most of the colored leather backs. It looks like the colored leather backs have cream or silver colored back buttons which are not available on any of the plastic backed phones. I would like to get the brown leather but don't want grey buttons.
[G4 General] Apkbuccsfan:
On Sprints website you can pre-order the G4 with the black leather back or the metallic grey for the same price, $600USD. I don't know if the price will be different after official release (June 5th)

In that case I'm going to get the leather and buy a plastic back later so it will fit in more cases.
[G4 General] AvaAdore:
The difference between the two isn't really that much at least for me. I like this approach of LG of making something different happening. I remember when I first saw the back cover of the Galaxy Note 3 and I was really wishing it was genuine based on the texture but was disappointed that it was just "pleather". I've always loved leather cases and G4 leather back is a thumbs up for me even if I have to put in an extra $50.

[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
Some are $600 and $609 so a mere $1 to $10 off your high end $599 goal :) so you should be buying then no? This is way cheaper than the S6 + $100 gift card at best buy + a free battery, battery charger + 32gb sd card. All of this adds up you a deal way better than you even hoped for.
