[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Nino9:
what version of gmail are you using? and you got the gapps add on from Huawei?

I don't own this phone anymore. I sold it on and I had the EU version which came with it.

I have another phone with kitkat and it is easy to add from android settings and clicking accounts. however the method I told you was adding another account from gmail directly.

also off topic, you can unlock your phone bootloader if required- which will void warranty. you can flash a custom recovery and flash supersu this way if you cant root kingroot way. also you can probably flash official gapps.

but if you have root, you can use tools such as flashify or flashfire to flash custom recovery.

always make a back up before you do anything crazy as well

Update

How did you upgrade the phone?

Mine is already rooted through Kingroot and when i try to upgrade to Lollipop it says installation failed without a reason why it failed.

i copied the update.zip to my dload folder in SD card.

Should i rather use the internal memory to do it?

I did it through EMUI manual update by the way.
[HTC Inspire 4G] prat1k:
Okay so I wanted to update to lollipop on my inspire 4g because i wanted to use hangouts dialer. Turns out, the CM 12.1 nightlies are highly unstable and sometimes take forever to boot. Most importantly, hangouts keep crashing on CM 12.1 on my inspire and I am not able to make phone calls to phone numbers or to other google users (audio/video) - no problems with using hangouts for chatting/gtalk.

So, I want to go back to 2.3.5 stock where i started. That does not support hangouts dialer, but this CM 12.1 neither - so i would like to roll back to a stable stock ROM.

The problem is, the stock ROM update (RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_Cingular_US_3.20.502.63_Radio_12.69c.60.29U_26.09.13.17_M_release_335423_signed) keeps crashing and fails to roll back.

So, I tried flashing the zip (PD98IMG_Inspire_S-ON_FactoryRestore_GB_1.07) from TWRP 2.8.6.1, but that fails too.

How do I get back to something stable and working? I already wasted at least 30 hours in past 10 days or so. :crying:

[HTC Inspire 4G] prat1k:
i have a mixed feeling about it. 4.2.2 is cool, but it hogs more battery than 2.3.5. And the main purpose behind installing 4.0+ ROM was to enable hangouts dialer. Turns out, i am able to place a call through hangouts dialer, but the call freezes many a times and the app crashes. And I do not receive a call through hangouts at all. So, my purpose is not served. Thinking about going back to stock 2.3.5 now unless you have a better suggestion. thanks for following up!
[HTC Inspire 4G] marknoll:
I too went to original stock for old times sake...it is much more snappier..hehe.. But I then flashed to cm 11 as all the apps I love require 4.0+. Sigh,idk

Hi guys. I have a rooted Galaxy S4 I337MVLUFNC1 (Mexico -Telcel) with 4.4.2 Android version. Im wondering if there is a safe way to upgrade to Lollipop 5.1 without all the annoyance of lacking a good signal, wifi, LTE, etc etc???

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerodynamyx:
Hi guys,

Are there any G3 users who upgraded to the G4? I am having second thoughts on upgrading, so I would like your opinion as well. :D
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tunichi01:
G3 user here. I won't be upgrading to G4 anytime soon. Leather back sure looks nice but I wouldn't go for real leather since there are reports of the corners wearing off (see Michael Fisher's video from Pocketnow). Quantum Display is also nice; brighter and more saturated display than the G3. I only use mine mostly indoors so I'm still cool with it. The G4's manual camera mode is awesome tho but I think the great devs here can port it to our G3 ;)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moon2:
Got the G4 for testing and currently a G3 owner, its definitely better (display - find it to be a good improvement to G3, general performance - much snappier than G3, including camera performance)

But, I don't find the improvements worthwhile enough to upgrade to a G4.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
Do it.

Why are you having second thoughts?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennisg34:
If your main concern for upgrading your phone is the stupid leather back (which, btw, you don't need to use. It comes with a plastic one as well) then that's ridiculous. Each phone is different FYI. I've seen more reports of people on here who've had the phone for a 1-3 weeks and not an issue.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerodynamyx:
I'm actually thinking of either getting G4 or a Nexus 6. I hate to admit it but I get easily bored with my phone. If I get a G4 and it's almost the same as my G3, then I might regret it. :(
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
Quite a few selling points compared to the Nexus 6:

IR blaster

SUPER DUPER camera

Those two are my main points. Also, keep in mind that the Nexus 6 is 6", while the G4 is 5.5" - it's easier to hold in one hand. Hopefully the camera isn't all the hyp though. I'm coming from a DSLR - a Nikon D90, and hopefully will replace the DSLR with a phone. Not really sure how that will work.

By the way, the G3 and the Nexus 6 both run very warm - the G4 supposedly doesn't do that since it runs on a 6 core chip, so less thermal throttling. I also recall my G2 getting VERY hot to the touch when I watch videos.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LancerV:
If you think it will replace a dSLR than you are dreaming
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
Considering that the D90 I was using is from 2008, I would hope that technology has gotten better for the mobile series. I saw some videos from a few reviewers, comparing them with the Canon EOS series cameras and they were unable to tell the difference unless zoomed all the way in on a 16MP image. I think that's good enough!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LancerV:
Well considering, flash and lens swap out alone never will have that ability with a phone
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
You are 100% correct on that, but most images taken at night shouldn't be used with flash, since it destroys the background. While you can swap flashes and lens, most amateurs stick with a set of wide lens - and rarely do people carry different flashes around. I guess it's really dependent on your usage, but I don't take night pics/indoor pics with flash. And it's interesting that the camera on the G4 has such a large aperture that it matches a lot of the decent lens for DSLRs. With a large apeture, the shutter speed can be lowered without having to bump the ISO up, reducing the need for a flash.

:)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LancerV:
Flash should be used indoor, night, day :highfive:

if the camera is any faster to load and focus then I'll be very happy, as the g3 is quick but I want instant !

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deejay6901:
right now i have both the g3 and g4, and all i can say is g4 is way better in terms of performance compared to g3 camera is really superb! i love those bokeh shots, plus the low light shots; which cant be done on g3. however, it does warm a bit upon eccessive usage; but right now im still using my good 'ol g3 as g4 doesnt have root yet :D, and most of my root apps (adaway, titanium backup, etc) will not yet work with my g4. hopefully root will be out sooner... :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsbenedict:
I upgraded from the G2 (had it only a month because I switched carriers and knew I was getting the G3--used it to tie me over) to the G3 and got my G4 on Friday. Loving it so far. The leather is nice, but I'm worried about it's durability. I'm worried about touching it with dirty hands or laying it down somewhere where it could get dirty. The subtle curved screen is awesome, the colors pop (and I keep my brightness at around 15%). I replaced the launcher with Novo. I miss the smart screen feature but found an app replacement on Google Play. It may be a subtle upgrade, but why fix something that isn't broke. Unlike HTC who does subtle upgrades, but still can't make a camera worth the price tag. For most, battery life and cameras are two big things they look for in a new phone.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] uwashock:
Hello last weekend i bought an htc 3300. Before i had other htc phonepda an i had no problems with direction keys.

Now my problem is that games don't recognise as well the trackball movements(basically shot'em ups). The direction keys makes large movements than the other pocket pc i had.

Example:

Older phonepda one right click makes this object movement:

---->

With my htc 3300 the object movement with the same one click (using trackball) is the double

------------->

This change in controls makes hard to play games that uses directional pad like shoot'em ups.

The RollR movements are OK (up/down)like my older pdas. I don't understand why the trackball is different what's wrong?

Any one have a solution? A registry hack? Thanks!

P.d Excuse my bad english level :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
So, thanks to this thread by [MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION] and of course the great work by [MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION] giving us CleanROM 1.1. I made a "center clock and Carrier Text removed" (from normal status bar, it's still on lockscreen status bar though) SystemUI.apk.

This is deodexed and so you need to be on a deodexed ROM or I think you can just delete the files in the arm64 folder, but I'm not 100% on if that will work.

Put the file in /system/priv-app/SystemUI/ and change permissions to 0644.

If this does not work, don't blame me, I am not the one moving the files and such on your phone, you are, and so YOU take responsibility for YOUR actions.

Edit: had to remove the ROM from the other thread, there was a misunderstanding of the Dev's ROM OP which lead to me thinking it was OK to use, it was not. I may try again but it'll be a while, I have much more important things in my life then redoing work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Ticklefish:
Nice! :)

On that thread, there is a post with a smali mod for stopping the clock from showing on the lockscreen. I can't guarantee that it'll work but it's worth trying!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
Aye, it was after midnight when I finally realized why my status bar icons we're messed up (an android:layout_width issue). I'll try that in a bit lol. Have to take care of the little one's breakfast first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Clienterror:
Just to verify clean rom is NOT deodexed by default correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
Correct. I may come out with a whole ROM based on clean ROM and deodexed but kiddos come first lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Ticklefish:
Lol I know that feeling...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
Got it all fixed up and put it onto a deodexed version of [MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION] clean rom. Again thanks for the tips and guide.

Update. Redid the ROM based on stock. It's up again in the development section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] justda:
So on stock rooted:

Just replace the original systemui.apk with this one, make sure permission is 0644 and restart?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
Not unless you want bootloops. This is deodexed. You need a deodexed ROM. You MAY be able to delete the files in arm64 folded and replace the apk with mine, then fix permissions and reboot. I can't promise that will work though as I've not tried.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] justda:
I knew it couldnt be that easy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
Lol. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make the mods when it's odexed. I have a deodexed ROM in the development section if you want to try that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] justda:
For att?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
Yes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] justda:
Tried it on clean rom 1.0 for at&t s6 edge, removed the status bar completely.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
Deodexed or no? Clean rom is no deodexed by itself. Also the SystemUI is pulled from OE2 so it probably won't work on OCE based ROMs
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Cusa:
Is there an easy way to remove the carrier text without flashing this file?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
Keep a notification active ( signal check keeps your signal in notification, blocking AT&T, sure others like tasker and such can to).

No other easy way I know of. Convince the system your on a different carrier ( not sure how). Get exposed to work and make a module. Decompile SystemUI yourself and make the XML changes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] cantsingh:
Google around for CSC edits. You can change a CSC value to imitate a Verizon S6 and you'll lose the carrier notification.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] royawais:
Can you please post how you centered the Lock Screen clock ?

I mean what did U edit in SystemUI so I can do it myself.

Just point the file and the change please.

WOuld be great.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thex2:
Background info:

Updated Cyanogenmod 12.0 to 12.1 through a nightly update that the OS automatically recommended me do. Upon updating, the phone went into a boot loop. I did a data backup through TWRP and then I wiped the dalvik-cache and cache, but it still bootlooped, so I wiped the data. After wiping the data, the phone booted up just fine. At this point, I'd like to restore my data and I have tried doing so through TWRP, but then it just goes into a bootloop again.

Primary Questions:

Can I restore my data and not get the boot loop? If not, can I go back to Cyanogenmod 12.0 and then restore my data and not get the boot loop? If not, what are my options from here?

Secondary Questions:

What did I do wrong to get the boot loop and how can I prevent this from occurring in the future when updating to a new nightly?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I'm going to answer your second question first, as the second answer shapes the first answer.

Sometimes a ROM needs a wipe before flashing..the reason for this is conflicting data.. Most commonly,.this will happen if going from one ROM to another from a different dev, but can also happen upgrading roms from the same dev.

The conflict will happen due to system settings.. All system settings go in /data/data along with your user app settings. Most settings will go in an sqlite database.

The boot loop problem occurs usually when there is an entry in one or more of these databases that correlates with a setting that no longer exists, or the entry doesn't match the options in a ROM. For example, if your ROM allows you to set screen sleep in 15, 30, 60 seconds only, but your database has your setting set at 45, android doesn't know what to do and boot loops.*

The fix is of course, wiping data.. This is why when restoring using titanium backup on a new ROM, we recommend only restring your user apps and data (using the filters and options) otherwise if you restore system apps and data you're restoring the problem.

The first question, you can restore app a from a nandroid backup using titanium. There is an option in preferences.

*please note, this is just a basic example for illustration purposes. Screen sleep may or may not cause a loop
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thex2:
Thank you for the detailed response. It was very helpful. I have a few more questions for you below.

Is there an

easy

way to predict whether this will occur prior to upgrading? And if so, how?

Can I downgrade back to my old nightly and restore my data to go back to the working setup that I previously had?

Is there a way to get my old OS customizations back from the nandroid backup that I created? For example, my desktop icon positions for my apps, etc..

Is it probable that a new version will come out that's compatible with the old versions settings? For example, you mentioned the screen sleep timer being 15, 30, 60 and then changing to 45 and the boot loop occurs. Do the developers ever recognize this issue occurred and then correct it in the next nightly to allow for 15, 30, 45 and 60 so I could restore my data without the boot loop occurring?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Let's see what I can do :)

There are no hard and fast rules.. If you're going from Dev A ROM to Dev B ROM, you will almost certainly have to wipe. Also, between major version updates (5.0 to 5.1 for example) you too will most likely have to wipe

Usually for any upgrade on the same ROM that isn't a major version update (dev a 5.0 to dev a 5.0 base) you usually won't have to wipe, but you may well have to, depending on whether the dev changes things a lot. Always have a titanium and a nandroid backup before updating.

Yes probably. Restore the full nandroid if you want.

It depends which launcher you're using.. If you install a launcher from play store, it is a user app.. So if you're restoring user also using titanium filters, it should restore it fully, including widgets etc. That said, sometimes it doesn't always work out. If the launcher has built in backup, it may be wise to use it.

If the launcher is built into the ROM, its classed as a system app, so even though user apps and system apps both keep their app data in /data/data, it will not be seen with titanium if you're using a filter to shoe only user apps and data.. Work around is backup system and user data without a filter in titanium then when restoring, apply the filter for user apps.. Then once user apps are restored, find the system apps you need to restore data for and restore individually as required. You need to restore as little as possible though to avoid the boot loop.

Usually not.. Generally ROM v2 changes from ROM v1.. ROM v3 is usually even further away from ROM v1. If a dev is changing such a setting they are probably doing so for a reason.. Sometimes if the setting is part of a function that the dev decides to remove again ROM v3, its possible. But its best to be prepared and accept that wiping and restoring is a common practice in custom ROM flashing
