[General Questions and Answers] EroticCreep:
And why wouldn't it be a fully-featured OS? The only thing it's missing are apps, which it will get in a bit more years. Also, I don't know see why the Z1's ugly UI design will influence your decision to purchase a future Tizen phone with a much better UI design. Is bad UI design contagious?

I agree that the UI on the Z1 looks bad, but UI design can be changed easily. Android's architectural flaw, on the other hand, can't be fixed, else google risks breaking all app compatibility. I prefer Samsung's situation. They can just hire a better UI designer. Google is stuck and can't improve their buggy Android platform.

The Samsung Z1's price is relatively high compared to similarly specced Android phones.

The Z1's price started at $92, though it's probably down to around $80 now.

In a country like Bangladesh, where the GDP Per Capita is $1,100, $92 is a very hefty pricetag.

The 2nd best-selling smartphone in Bangladesh was some Symphony Android phone that cost $60 and had very similar specs to the Z1, meaning the Z1 was priced more than 150% of the 2nd best-selling phone's price while having identical hardware. Despite the $30 premium, which is very high for Bengalis, the Z1 stomped the 2nd best-selling phone in sales.

Also, I wouldn't say the people who bought the Z1 are "unlucky". Many of them will be pleasantly surprised by Tizen's smoothness, speed and efficiency. In fact, I think the only reason why the Z1 did so well in both India and Bangladesh is because the first customers were so pleased with the device that they recommended it to their friends, family and colleagues.

Remember, with the rising Korean Won, Samsung can't afford to compete with companies in countries with deflated currencies, which is why Samsung is concentrating so much on software optimization. The only way Samsung can make a profit now is if they charge a premium for the hardware they're packing into their products. That's why Tizen is so important to Samsung. They can stomp Android with its superior performance and battery life even with far inferior hardware.
[General Questions and Answers] dragonb0rn:
Tizen cannot be viewed as as "threat" to Android.. But yes it will be a very good alternative once it improves it UX, upgrade its app store... Its good to have options.. Also if it can bring some brilliant customization options and at the same time sustain battery life then it can certainly announce itself.. ;)

Dear All,

Please help, there is any way or script to completely remove Asus Bloatware Application.

The application take so much resource in the background and i don't used it.

Thanks.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psommerfeld:
Yes please! So many Asus apps I want to get off this thing.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehritzinator:
Root, then get the app Titanium Backup, and freeze/uninstall any system apps you don't want. I'd suggest freezing them rather than uninstalling.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziddey:
You can root and delete/backup the apks or use the package manager to disable as appropriate:

To list enabled packages containing 'asus':

# pm list packages -e | grep asus

To disable:

# pm disable com.asus.zencircle

To list disabled packages:

# pm list packages -d

If **** hits the fan, just enable the package again.

This method prevents the app from running but allows you to revert if need be.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlaw:
Disabling/freezing is safer than deleting these system apps plus you can still take OTAs with disabled apps whereas missing system apps can fail an update.

how can i do it? i want to del so many apps or disable them
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Induced_Apathy:
I ended up using a pre rooted image here and disabling the apps themselves. I'm still trying out the Asus apps to see how I like them (memo etc.). Typical usage after doing this is around 1-1.5GB of ram which is fine as I have 4GB. If I had 2GB I think I would be much more aggressive in removing any and all bloat.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ginuz:
I use rom toolbox pro to freeze apps if not used (youtube and other apps if not neded24/7) , then you can disable on boot so no update failure and system memory free and preserve bandwith, no icons apps and easy to restore if you wanna back bloatweare like google maps, dr safety and all asus apps. Also you can use it to uninstal system apps. Not tested yet if rom backup work, but i will test it soon 'cuz facing with 2 softbrick after OTA update (first was at first phone use with not rooted image thanks to "clean master" issue, second forget to disable root on supersu pro).
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeropaladn:
Good evening everyone!

I have a XT1097 on WIND, on 5.0.1 and I'm trying to get Rogers/Fido LTE working. It supports all of the bands but when I select LTE Preferred it defaults to HSPA+, and forcing LTE gives me no service. My brother has an unlocked XT1097 from Telus, on 5.0.1 and the Fido SIM works fine for LTE!

Checking the system settings, there are some software differences: Screencast Link.

How would I go about getting this working on my WIND XT1097? Replace just the baseband? Replace everything? Do I throw the Telus software on it or go for Motorola's OEM software?

TL;DR: I have an XT1097 purchased from WIND CANADA that won't connect to 2100/2600MHz LTE on other networks (proper SIM and all), even though the device supports it. Did WIND purposefully gimp the phone with a different baseband, and how can I fix it?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loftwyr:
You can't. Wind doesn't pay Bell of Rogers for access to the LTE bandwidth. No changing of settings will fix that, only having a Bell or Rogers sim.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeropaladn:
I think you've misinterpreted my question. I have a phone purchased from WIND (unlocked), and a Fido SIM with a plan. The Fido SIM inside the phone connects me to HSPA+ but not LTE. My guess is that the baseband has been modified by WIND/whoever they get their devices from to lock out the LTE radio, preventing me from connecting to Rogers/Fido LTE with a Fido SIM inside my WIND phone.

My Q: What would be the easiest way to go about getting that fixed? My guess would be to replace the baseband with one that won't lock out the LTE at the software level.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve-x:
If you unlock the bootloader you can try the Telus firmware but I am sure there are others using the Wind mobile phone on Telus/Bell/Rogers/Fido/Koodo etc and they all get LTE just fine.

Have you tried resetting the phone to default?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeropaladn:
After backing everything up, a factory restore did it. I think I spent far too long overthinking this. Thanks for the info everyone!

Hi,

I am a newbie and trying to learn how to write my own update.zip

For a start I have ASUS ME175CG running lollipop.

I downloaded a binary UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip from chainfire website

This binary when flashed using the command

fastboot flash update UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

Restarts the fonepad and shows "installing system udate ..." and then gets stuck there and never completes (the update icon on the android belly keeps revolving forever)

For learning, I wanted to dismantle the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip binary and so I unzipped it and then rezipped and signed it using the signapk

If I flash this resulting zip, then the update shows "failed" almost immediately. Why does the same binary when unzipped-rezipped-signed does not work whereas the oringal one works (atleast to some extent).

Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong here ? Am I supposed to replace the testkey.pk8 and testkey.x509.pem with any other ASUS specific keys ?

Thanks

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] fuser-invent:
I extracted all the partitions in RAW format today. I'll add some more detailed info here in the near future on how I did it but I used software called DiskInternals Linux Reader.

-----

Update: The info on how to make a full RAW backup of the entire device without having an external SD card to save it to can be found in this thread. I made some adjustments for the Nexus 7 and I did it all in Cygwin.

To make device backup in Cygwin and TWRP open a terminal and do this:

adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555
adb shell
/sbin/busybox nc -l -p 5555 -e /sbin/busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0

Then open a second Cygwin Terminal and do this:

adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555
cd /nexus
nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > mmcblk0.img

You can then mount the image you pulled with DiskInternals Linux Reader. It will show you all of the individual partitions, all of the unllocated gaps between partitions and some info about each one. You can open the EXT4 partitions like /system to explore them and you can also open the radio.img and see everything inside. You can then save all the partitions as individual images. This method doesn't work with the bricked tablet. I'm building a spreadsheet with info on all the partitions.

From a working or an OTA-bricked device?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] fuser-invent:
I pulled them all from a working device so I can try to write them back to the bricked device but also so I can try and make the flash programming files for use in QFIL. On another note the bricked devices can show up in the Windows file manager as a single small partitions with a list of files. I found out today that those files are the contents of the radio partition. I have a folder with those files from a bricked and working device now and I'll do a hex comparison to see if they are still all intact on the bricked device. That also means the FAT partition at the very beginning of the eMMC chip is still there and working, so the whole chip isn't "dead".

N7 2013 32GB Bricked

I look forward to doing some testing my self with this tablet... Problem is, my bootloader is locked and I can't unlock it since it won't format the internal storage... can't even boot into TWRP because of that. :(

Anyway, I'm very interested in using DD to flash the partitions at some point if that's available. I can also get into download mode, so using the qualcomm utility to write that way. It's just sitting here, waiting to be revived! :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] orzem:
Following the instructions above, I could get to the point where I have the partitions of the working device.

I can also put both devices in 9008 mode, and the bricked device only in 9006 mode also. Although windows registers it as diagnostic mode, QPST is reading both 9008 and 9006 as Download Mode, and does not allow me to backup the working device.

So, as far as QPST goes, I'm kind of stuck.

But, reading what I found in github.com/aureljared/unbrick_8960 I might still have a chance: I just have to understand how to set up the files that are needed though...

Wish you all a good day!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] fuser-invent:
I think we need to build our own flashing files using aureljared's method. I have a ton of partitions and data ripped. I'll try to upload it soon so everyone has access to expirement with.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] orzem:
Yes, I think so too. Also considering the fact that those scripts are much more understandable than a closed source program, even to me and my scarce knowledge.

Just a thought: why try and rebuild the partition table and then copy each partition in its place? Wouldn't it be much easier to just "dd" the working device in one single file and then "dd" it back on the bricked one?

Of course, IF (and only if) the hex and mbn provided by aureljared succed in switching the device into Streaming Protocol and let us actually write to memory.

If there's anything I can do, I'll be glad to do it.

Have a nice day!
