Hi everyone.... In this thread I'm gonna share with you some of the ways I made my phone look in lollipop... Credit of course goes to the developers of the apps and mods but I'm just demonstrating once that what all apps and mods you could use...

I want to give credit to all of those who have developed and made these apps and mods for us... Thanks a lot guys...

First of all requirements -

1. Rooted Xperia E3 (D2203 only) with CM11 Installed link here - http://xdaforums.com/xperia-e3/orig-development/rom-cyanogen-mod-11-t3064333 (thanks to [MENTION=6234828]Moiremoi[/MENTION] for making the tutorial and [MENTION=6216066]Exerath[/MENTION] for translating) (Plz figure out to install on your own)

2. Xposed framework installed link here - http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer

3. Flat Style Colored Bars Installed and active in xposed link here - http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.bocharov.xposed.fscb

4. Monster UI installed and active in Xposed link here - http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.kuaq.monsterui

5. Lollipop theme installed link here - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jaydvl.perfecttheme&hl=en ( I use this one but you can suit yourself, there are about hundred lollipop themes for cm11 so you've got a lot of options.

6. Fancy Switcher link here - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jkab.fancyswitcher&hl=en

7. Nova Launcher link here - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en

Method -

1. Firstly Install Nova launcher and apply the following settings -

*Desktop - Scroll effect - none

*Desktop - show shadows

*Drawer - Show pages as card

*Drawer - scroll effect - none

*Drawer - transition animation - circle

*Drawer - Tab style - small tabs

*Drawer - advanced - isolate tabs

*Look and feel - icon theme - lollipop

*Look and feel - app animation - slide up

2. Install the theme next and apply it... Tick everything.

3. Install xposed framework and the other two apps associated with it (Flat Style Colored bars and Monster UI) and mark them active in xposed. Reboot.

4. Now open u Flat Style Colored Bars and apply the following settings -

[XDA Assist] Mbariah:
So I recently purchased a new micro-usb cable but it doesn't seem to work..PC doesn't register phone nor do other conventional usb charges charge when using the cable(other cables work fine)...since am in no position to return it, i opened inside to see if it was something i could fix..here are the insides...

as you can see, the wires are exactly all lined up end to end...not sure if this is the way i.e when stretched out, the 1st terminal is connected to the first on the other end, second to 2nd , third to 3rd and finally 4th to 4th..

if anyone has a working micro-usb lying around, would they be kind enough to show me how the terminals look on both end??:)

I can't seem to find a way to access the accu weather when I'm using nova launcher..
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxM4tzexX:
I think it's not possible because the widget relies on the TW launcher. That's why you can't place this widget on any third party launcher.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faspaiso:
I have the same thoughts as the other poster. :good:
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solitarymonkey:
Unfortunately, I agree with the other two. As far as I am aware, in the 2 years or so I've used TW devices, there's no way to do it. If there is, you probably have to break something open, twist it's arm, threaten its mother and give it a Chinese burn.

You'll have to make do with another weather widget if you use a different launcher I'm afraid.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eric150:
On Nova, Go to widgets page, select activities, Scroll down and select weather, you should now have a shortcut to the Weather app from TW
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solitarymonkey:
It's not quite the same I don't think. In TW, it fills the whole row and has the clock separate on the left. Whereas on Nova, it only shows a condensed version, which, for some reason, is also a full row, but only shows on the left.

Not a massive issue or anything, but it is different from the full TW version.

Long story short. I finally got brave enough to root my phone. I did it successfully. then I think I killed it :). http://xdaforums.com/droid-razr-m/general/root-droid-razr-m-xt907-183-46-15-t3030852/page58

Then, while trying to get the Verizon wireless hotspot hack to work following these directions, http://xdaforums.com/droid-razr-m/general/guide-faq-how-to-root-boot-unlock-t2869432, I got to step 2 and for some reason the changes wouldn't save. so after doing some searching, I read that another person had tried another superuser app and was able to save their changes. So, I downloaded the superuser app and took off the original super SU. Then I kept getting an error that said, I didn't have root access. So I downloaded the original app. I had before from the play store and proceeded to replace it. The app installed fine and then said that the device needed to be rebooted. I hit okayand the phone turned off.

It never turned back on. Pressing the power button for any length of time will not turn on the device. When I press the power button along with the down volume button and hold them after releasing the Motorola logo comes up and then the phone goes dark again. like it's off. It doesn't have any blinking indicator lights nothing. When it's connected or disconnected from the computer. My PC makes chiming sounds like normal, even though the phone looks like it's completely off.

When I plug it into a charger, it stays completely dark, with no indicator lights like it's off. While its plug-in if I push and hold the power button still nothing. if I push and hold the power button and the volume down button, while it still plugged in,the Motorola logo comes up and then nothing again like it's powered off. The second time I repeat that procedure. The battery indicator comes up showing that it's charging. And just to let you know that the first time when all this happened and I saw the battery indicator it was charged at 80% still, so that's not the problem.

so my question is, did I brick my phone? is it permanently bricked? Is there anything I can do about it? or should I just look for a new one?

thank you for any help you could offer.

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] msuk:
All,

I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact III and would like to know is it possible to enable WiFi or this model does not support Wifi?

Thanks

Msuk
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] bluchrome:
Unfortunately not. The device does not contain the Wifi chipset.

The ortbit does but then o2's 2G data charges mean that this is essential. T-Mobiles data charges are pretty reasonable so the lack of Wifi on the MDA is acceptable IMHO.

I have Huawei Ascend P7 L10 B616 with emui 3.0 100% root

PS:

I found the solution

just take Root Explorer or X-plore, and go to

/(Root)/system/media/audio/animationsonds/

and just delete the bootSound.ogg

If you want to replace sound , in this same place you put the chosen sound and rename it to bootSound.ogg

I hope I helped some
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheppy1:
Hi all

Wondering if there is an actual noticeable difference in day to day usage between the two models? I know the bench test show marginal performance improvements for the 32GB over the 16GB model but would this be seen in every day use?

Reason I ask is that I may be swapping a 16GB model for a 32GB model but this comes with it's downsides so wondering if it's even worth it....

Forgot to say that I do know that the 32GB model also has the 3GB RAM

Thanks
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reggiexp:
i would say yes.

i have a 2gb one and my oncle a 3gb ram. my home screen always refresh when i exit a app.

and his apps open some how faster (cause they are in cache of the ram) so i would say yes. its better even in every day usage. opening apps. and switching
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheppy101:
Hmmmm that's good to hear then. Well I have the 2gb model right now and have the 3gb one coming tomorrow... It's coming from Hong Kong though so slightly worried it will be fake!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] draskome:
It doesn't matter in everyday use at all...

Still, you can read this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2783716
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheppy1:
Cheers, have seen that video before but still didn't help me :P. It won't cost me anything extra swapping to the 32GB model but it is a HK model so I'm a bit warey about it breaking or being fake etc.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teddy0209:
It matters mate... Extra 1gb makes the difference aside from the additional storage...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] draskome:
This is interesting to know.. How exactly this 1gb makes the difference in everyday use?

Have you heard that anybody raised an issue with shortage of RAM while using G3 with KitKat or Lollipop in normal conditions?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teddy0209:
3gb is snappier than than 2gb variant... Based on my own experience... As is without tweaks... ?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dornz:
Don't no about 16gb but my 32gb 3gb ramz the dog
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dorwoo:
My 16 gb version is snappy as hell, it depends on the user too and how you tweak it.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyjay:
I traded my 3gb Note 3 for the 2gb G3....I kinda regret it now because my Note 3 was nice and snappy but with the G3 I notice quite a lot of lag :(
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] draskome:
Amount of RAM does not have anything with lag that you have on G3. 3GB version also have that lag sometimes.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsw5700:
I have a highly debloated 3gb version, with normal running i have about 500MB free ram but this can drop down to 400MB. If you only have a 2GB phone, it would be 500MB short of ram, even more on a stock rom, meaning apps get stopped to make room for new app to start up. Extra ram means more file data is stored in cache. My phone never lags

Hiya people

Tried the camera mod in themes and apps but it did not work even though I'm running the same PDA and everything.

Might be because I'm on a stock odexed ROM.

Anyway.. I've deleted my folder /system/app/SamsungCamera4/arm64 while installing the mod and the camera now keeps force closing after I restored the original files (except the files in the arm64 folder)

Could any kind soul that is on a stock ROM upload that folder to me anyway?

Kind regards

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llboy911:
Why are we facing this flash fail error first of all? Is it because I had reactivation lock tuned on?

If u have it on, u wont be able to use odin... i had the same issue thats why i went with smart switch but it seems u have a problem with your device Model (not supported)... smart switch doesnt care if your reactivation lock is off or on
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llboy911:
I don't remember turning reactivation lock on before flashing with odin. I googled about the issue and it seems like it's a partition issue and we need to flash the correct .pit file to fix the issue. Till then every firmware that is flashed is going to fail at hidden.img.

and as the OP has stated, Smart Switch fixes this partition issue but sadly my device is not supported by it.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ollve:
Just to confirm, does flashing rom from sammobile using Odin will wipe phone? I know it will not trip knox, but is there any chance to flash official rom without wiping it?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llboy911:
It doesn't wipe your phone, but it's recommended that you factory reset your phone before flashing.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ollve:
The point is I'm still on OCV rom (not branded) and I'd like to flash at least OE2-4 with ram fixes and possibly root right after update. Then wipe when we get official 5.1.1.

Waiting for OTA is so pointless in this case...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AskinSavascisi:
If its the same pda not really needed
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ollve:
Different, from OCV to OE3/OE4. So probably worth to try without wipe and in case I get FC/bootloops - wipe.

I was trying to install TWRP and my phone got soft bricked. I tried flashing the Trinidad and Tobago firmware that I had and got this "hidden.img fail!" error.The solution to recover the phone is well-explained by the OP and it works like charm.

A lot of people had faced the same issue over the S6 and S6 edge forums

-Some people told that the phones partitions are messed up and I needed to flash the correct PIT file to be able to flash any FW again. Otherwise it will fail every time.

-Some people told that I had "Reactivation lock"(Find my Samsung's feature) enabled and that's why I am facing the error. (In that case, we get a different error while flashing via ODIN or factory reseting, not hidden.img failed error.

The error is because of the FIRMWARE you are flashing is not supported. Yes! I recovered my phone by flashing the latest Indian firmware and it worked like charm. So the lesson here is, EVEN WHEN THE DEVICE MODEL IS SAME(925I), THE FIRMWARES FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WHEN FLASHED VIA ODIN. (At least in my case and a few other who confirmed)

PS: The same firmware works if done by FLASHFIRE but ODIN fails.

My device is also saying 'not supported' by both Kies and SmartSwitch. I am completely stuck! I have tried flashing stock tar via Odin 3.10.6. I get nand write failed!! I have read that I cannot flash anything without a .pit file. Not sure if this is true but it doesn't matter because there is no .pit file for the g920t anywhere to be found on the forums. I tried flashing TWRP and it appeared to flash with success but I still cannot access recovery. I originally fell into this error because I flashed the 5.1.1 bootloader and baseband on stock 5.02. Please help. Does anyone have a recovery image from 5.02? Maybe that would help..
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarmezrocks:
Hey guys,

You don't actually need all of this if you have a USB jig.

Background info

There are issues with doing things this way. 7Zip while great at extracting the recovery image from the tar it is not great at overwriting the recovery image in the original TWRP Odin flashable tar.....actually doing so will quite likely damage the tar file and or the recovery file you are attempting to replace with. Another option would be to create a signed tar MD5 with software that is available on the forums here. I am quite happy to put up a generic recovery signed for Odin use if you so wish, but I would be worried that the CSC is embedded and may change your device and effectively wipe it because of changed CSC.

My fix was to grab the USB Jig I made for a Galaxy Ace many moons ago.

What is a USB Jig you may ask? Well it was designed to put devices into download mode that had locked kernels to block download mode on specific branded devices that were sold at a reduced price with branded firmware. Samsung or the OEMs thought that this was a way of effectively "network locking" cheapo devices as their firmware (or modem to be specific) would only work on the network they provided and locking the user out from download mode would effectively stop them from flashing custom firmware. Normally when using one a device will turn on all by it's self and boot straight into download mode effectively bypassing any kernel lockdowns an OEM may have put in place ;)

Now in this case with a Galaxy S6 edge I used this not to get into download mode but to get OUT of download mode and allow me to bypass the crappy Samsung exclamation mark ! telling me to use their bullsh!t Smart Switch application which automatically force wipes your device before loading recovery firmware that takes a never ending length of time to download.

Anyway plugged in the USB Jig and then I simply pressed and held the power button (about 10 seconds) till the screen went black. Then I used the normal 3 button combination to get straight back into download mode again (only this time without the crappy Warning message from Samsung about failed firmware update bla bla bla).

IMPORTANT!

Now normally people will tell you to push the Vol up button straight away, but here's the tip of the day from me. DON'T PUSH VOLUME UP STRAIGHT AWAY! leave it at the choice screen on your S6 and proceed with setting everything else up first, such as Odin and the firmware package etc.

Note. The MD5 check takes bloody ages! This waiting time in download mode seems to do something that disrupts the flashing process from what I can tell?

1). So load Odin (with admin rights - it always helps).

2) Load the firmware into Odin then wait for MD5 check to complete

3) NOW push the volume up button on your S6 to proceed.

4) The COM connection light up and the firmware is loaded and checked ready to go.

5) Press the start button straight away

Odin should work exactly as expected

Had a softbricked S6 edge stuck in a bootloop after trying to update Firmware via Odin. I did not manage to add the recovery.img into the archive via 7-Zip. But I just created a new tar-file with 7-Zip with cache.img (from CF Autoroot) and recovery.img (from original Firmware) - no compression. That file could be flashed without a problem. I reset via recovery and refreshed the firmware via Smart Switch. That worked to my relief. So: THANK YOU OP!
