[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MabeeDev:
I'm a major in network security at the moment, and as I've been studying ROM development and the ways that OTAs work, I've come across a method of forcing an OTA that I don't believe I've heard done before. That is, spoofing a web location on a network, and placing a system image in the location. This can be achieved using a typical man-in-middle exploit(of course legally, and under a controlled/private environment).

What I'm curious to however is whether or not Android does a more extensive location check; e.g. if Android checks for SSL/Verification on the location before initiating a download? Would this only work with a system OTA image? What are possible system implications that could prevent this from being achieved?

Thanks in advanced for any answers you may have. I'll be posting further papers and research if I find definitive answers and methods.

How do you go from nc2 to the latest base band? I'm assuming the latest alliance rom requires the newest one, I'm guessing it's oc1 or something like that right?

To jump from NC2 to OC1, this is easiest way.

But if you'd like to just to flash the OC1 modem, I'm sure some kind soul could strip it and make it flashable.

[Moto E Android Development] shanmukhateja:
It pains me to tell you that all the custom ROMS I have used on my XT1022 have the GPS bug. I am facing that bug in all CUSTOM ROMS except STOCK. Can it be solved by you people? People like us are a minority but still, even we have a voice.

Can you kindly look into the problem? I am willing to co-operate to my best.

Once a solution has arrived to this problem, I would like to contribute to this project.

[Moto E Android Development] prathameshmestry:
For the gps bug first enable gps in stock rom use it for some time and keep it on and flash the cm or any lp rom uh want.
[Moto E Android Development] shanmukhateja:
That is what I have been doing. The thing is I wanted a permanent solution to this problem.
[Moto E Android Development] prathameshmestry:
There is no permenant solution for this.
[Moto E Android Development] shanmukhateja:
Well in that case, can anyone tell me is it a vendor blobs mismatch type thing or is there any internal CM bug unknown to us?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m27frogy:
Alright, before I begin, here's what I have for my device:

Custom bootloader with the ability to boot any kernel I might need

CWM

OmniROM source tree compatible with my platform

~64 GiB SDXC microSD

Now, the issue is that my device (Acer Picasso ([Iconia A500]) has finally lost its ability to properly read certain partitions of the internal flash memory. Despite several attempts at reformatting the partitions (usually ending up in "this operation doesn't work because I/O error") I am unable to revive those partitions of the flash space. However, I have been able to flash a kernel and get it to boot Lubuntu off an external sdcard.

Nothing against Lubuntu, but I can't exactly play Clash of Clans/MCPE. And OnBoard is a poor replacement for Android's keyboard. It would be really nice if I could do the exact same thing I did with Lubuntu with an Android root filesystem.

Is using an external SD as a root filesystem possible? If so, how practical?

As sidenote, how hard would it be to solder in new flash memory in case it comes to that?

-The Quick Settings have black labels (Workaround: Change the order to tabs instead of list)

-Only main screen is black, settings like Wifi, Bluetooth, etc remain white.

I have successfully changed System fonts; popup menu fots etc. howver no what what i do my Today and Outlook Mobile Fonts (font that displays the messages in inbox etc) don't change.

please let me know how to change those....

Anyone there to help???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bkadison:
How did you change the system font?

I'd like to change the system font to a simple arial font and can't figure out how to do that. Any ideas?

Also, any ideas about how to change the menus so they show up as a list rather than tiled icons?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] buchay:
copy the required font to Windows/Fonts directory of your windows mobile...

Check the following registry sections:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SYSFNT\Nm

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\BarFnt\Nm

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt\Nm

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\OOMFnt\Nm

in Nm use the font you have just pasted in Windows/Fonts

by the way i have also found a way to change the system/outlook/today font:

e.g; i like Calibri Font, so i renamed the regular Calibri font as Tahoma.ttf and bold calibri font as tahomabd.ttf and replaced the ones in Windows... reset and it was changed.

;).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ChaoticDruid:
Just a tip for anyone, there is a chance you will run into problems using the windows\fonts directory for a system font file, I highly recommend placing the font directly in the Windows directory, also the last installed font in the Windows\fonts directory will be used, for example, if you drop Impact.ttf in the fonts direcotry, and power off/on the device, you will have impact as the font in PocketIE.

I just change the GDI setting myself, and drop the same file in the windows directory, and the fonts directory.

I only bother to mention this, because quite awhile back I was using the fonts only directory, and ran into issues, not implying that everyone will have the same issues.

I imagine if you just did the filename changing, you wouldnt even need the registry hacks too, good pointing that out, I never figured out that one, and went around and around at one time looking for a date plugin that used the font specified in the registry.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 2nah33:
Hi guys....I have a HTC One M8 which is unrooted and running Lollipop which is great for the most part but I can't figure out how to set up group messaging and more recently it won't download any MMS I recieve.

I wanted to try and change the settings for group messaging in ChompSMS but can't figure it out. Right now, when I'm part of a group text, each message shows as a single text from the person that sent it, and when I reply it only goes to that person, not the group. I have tried changing some of the settings but nothing seems to work. I am sure this is an easy fix and feel kinda dumb for not being able to figure it out. I tried my other sms apps as well to see if it was a chomp problem and it's the same for all 3.

When I was trying to figure out the group messaging problem on my own I apparently changed something in the settings because now whenever I recieve a MMS I get a message saying "Can't download MMS - Check your APN settings". Again I have tried messing around in Chomps settings and haven't gotten it working. Also again this goes for Textra and the stock app as well. Please help!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 2nah33:
So....nothing?

Is this just a really stupid question or what? I don't know why no one responds to my posts. I've posted about it in 2 other forums as well and no responses anywhere. I have searched this problem as well and found other people asking similar question and haven't found any helfpul responses. I can't imagine no one knows how to fix the problem...someone help! Please!

OK I know phones put out heat but not with the simplest of tasks. I mean this is ridiculous if I play a game on it it gets smoking hot. My wife's nexus 6 doesn't even get warm and my s 5 I traded in for this barely got warm even with heavy use. Now onto the battery omg it drains faster than a 454 wide open does anyone have any advice or work around that actual work to improve both of these issues I am rooted have greenify, and tibu with some bloat frozen but still no noticeable difference thanks in advance

Oh yeah did I mention that the signal sux ass I'm constantly loosing lte coverage and it takes forever to even load the playstore....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Evilspawn:
I can literally sit here on the lowest brightness, everything disabled and watch the battery percentage go down. On super light use (navigating settings etc) it's warm.

Tried stock... or on clean rom...same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Evilspawn:
Just charged to full, did a factory reset..Started fresh no restore and it went from 100% to 94% in less than 8 minutes. Is this a joke? Lol yeah this one is going back! Oh and those 8 minutes we're very very light use..just navigating phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dlucks80:
ugh

I've been up for 3 hrs and I'm down to 52% I am using my tether but that's it. Think I might take this back and try the edge or another s6...I heard lollipop 5.1 is suppose to fix these issues any buddy have an info what so ever on the problems causing this. I love the phone but something needs to happen here and fast
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
3 hours tethering and you only lost 48%? That's pretty good. Tethering uses your cell data (battery kilker) and constant WiFi (battery killer) while keeping the CPU out of deep sleep to process routing for the tethered devices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dlucks80:
Yeah I know it eats battery, I don't have Internet where I live so tether is all I get it blows I'm also comparing to my wife's nexus 6 and my s 5 which both never dropped at this rate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
I get as good battery life as my N6, which is not as much as I'd like, but it's good enough. It's 2 and I've only dropped my phone on wireless charging for a few mins, and it's at 74%.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] baseer_IF:
Does this works on .242
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zgomot:
What are the practical uses of this? Why would one deodex?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] IgorEisberg:
Customized system apps. A system app with odex file needs to be "deodexed" (de-optimized) before you can decompile it.

Deodexing Xperia Lollipop is pointless if you're planning on editing a AndroidManifest.xml, because unless you want to be stuck on a bootloop on first-boot, you need to copy the AndroidManifest.xml and the META-INF folder from the original APK to the modified one.

In order to avoid that, "/framework/services.jar" needs to be decompiled and the signature verifying function needs to be modified and the jar recompiled. That means that at least "services.jar" needs to be deodexed first. And that means you're losing OpenGL (and Play Store won't be able to identify your device, thus you won't see most of the basic apps, or will get old versions of them, like Facebook 5 instead of Facebook 33)

I haven't found any solution to that deodexiing flaw, and from what I've heard, it's only an Xperia problem, not on other Lollipop devices.

EDIT: I'm glad to announce that I've fixed the problem. We can all deodex our frameworks now as long as we want and keep the Play Store working perfectly and OpenGL gives no more problems. I'll write a post about this issue and hopefully it gets fixed.

[MENTION=1879618]IaguCool[/MENTION] I know that you are the only one who can handle it :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] IgorEisberg:
Haha yeah... well... not many true custom ROM devs in the Xperia community ("true" as in really modifying apps on their own, not just copy-pasting stuff from other places), but thanks to that fix I can now finalize my custom ROM for a public release.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] alexandre221:
you used what app to deodex the files ? i really want to try on the .270 firmware for the C6943, i was looking for a tutorial and i found a program called xUltimate but i don't know if it's gonna work, i start to provide some roms here on xda but no one have already deodexed any version of the c6943
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kevindeoz:
I just use Droid Lollipop Batch Deodexer V 2.5 following this instructions of IaguCool

After that, just read this thread and apply the corrections on /framework/services.jar to fix Open GL bug ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zgomot:
Sorry for being thick, but I still don't really understand why I would want to flash this. Does this improve performance, make the rom lighter? That's why I was asking about the practical uses of this patch? What do you achieve if you flash this patch?

Thank you!! I was waiting for this patch!!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] whoami_amiu:

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] xxx_sunnyboy_xxx:
This is not a complete ROM.

Its a Patch that makes your Odex Stock ROM DeOdexed.

You need for this Patch a running Stock 270 Firmware.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] juanpirulo:
I think in your your deodex patch is something mixing. First your Semcgenericuprex.apk is not deodex as you can see in log file from joeldroid, if you look inside there is no class.dex, i think you have to put inside App folder too to get it deodex. cheers

Also you shoud advise that your updater scritp will erase all the App and priv-app folder prior to copy de deodex ones so people that installed like supersu or other mods on this folders will have to install again after deodexing with this method.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dstrikersZ1:
Hi, I want to ask, are playstore compatibility and open gl fixed ?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kevindeoz:
Thanks for your advice, I will fix it soon as I can ;) , and I will search another methood for script that erase only the odex files

Hi,

anybody got a work around for these game to play it on ppc with samsung processors?
[General Questions and Answers] EroticCreep:
People say that Tizen is 5 years too late and that it will never succeed.

Sales data are now public. The Samsung Z1 sold 500,000+ units in India and was the best selling smartphone model in Bangladesh for Q1 2015.

I don't think anyone was expecting these sales volumes. Quite impressive for a phone harboring a brand new OS.

Because Samsung focused on optimization when developing Tizen, Tizen phones are significantly faster and more efficient than Android phones. The Samsung Z1 is smooth as butter for a phone with a mere 768 MB of RAM.

What say you, XDA? Is Tizen a threat to Android?
[General Questions and Answers] Gharial:
Tizen is a Linux Foundation OS: I don't see it as a "threat" - it's great to have alternatives.

We certainly don't need a Google monopoly on mobile. Apple/Google is a fifty/fifty situation in rich countries but Android is close to a monopoly everywhere else.

So all alternatives are welcome imo
[General Questions and Answers] Gtnaoaki:
Tizen is good for low spec phones but it will never be a fully featured OS. Samsung is terrible at UX design, too.

The reason it sells well is because in developing countries where it's being rolled out heavily most people can't afford a 600-800 USD Galaxy S. If they had the choice between what is basically a feature phone and a flagship without regard to price then Tizen would only be bought by curious hackers and unlucky people who accidentally bought the wrong phone.
