Hi guys im searching a rom, but it will have all lockscreen effects (geometric tiles vb...) Thanks..
[XDA Assist] ugoreke:
Hello friends,

I was using a General Mobile etab4 tablet,

rooted,

bootloader locked,

not backed up, i tried but apps wont recognize the brand,

the stock rom is not available anywhere but I managed to find some custom ones.

This tablet is actually a given by government for educational purposes, and it has no download mode, I can only initiate recovery mode with volume up+power button combo, and there is no sd card in it.

Here is what happened. It was running with problems so I decided to flash a custom rom I find on this forum. First I tried flashing using adb sideload. I got an error message "Installation aborted" with no error codes after verification step but it does not state whether verification is failed or not. I don't know what actually failed. Then I tried to flash it using adb shell as root (the system image was in /sdcard directory). It freezed, I exit the shell using Ctrl+C command. Then whenever I try to start shell i got "error:closed" message. I see my device with adb devices with sideload, but it is not seen in fastboot devices.

When I try to open it, I guess it enters in a small boot loop (screen flickers multiple times with brand name on it) and after some time I got dead android with no command written.

I tried,

reflashing it again with Android AIO Flasher,

use fastboot to unlock bootlader (it says "waiting for device") although adb devices sees it,

re-installing the adb drivers after uninstalling them,

disassembling the device to see if I can detach memory to edit it and to see if disconnecting the battery helps,

I even used a simple jig to see if i can initiate download mode (know it works for specific devices but you know hope)

Apparently, I messed up the device but the hardware must be all fine. So I think there must be a way out. What can you suggest, I wish I have unlocked the bootloader. I can send the pictures of its motheboard it helps,

Thanks in advance.

Hello!

Just 2 hours ago I formatted my XPERIA Z2. The problem is that right now, under the Location History, I find TWO times the D6503. One that is the "current device" and one that is under the "other devices", even though it is the SAME one. Is there any way to delete the second D6503? It is ugly and stupid to have this twice, and I don't want Google to mess up my location history.

Thank you very much in advance!

[Android Studio] mrgreaper:
Ok i was not sure where to place this thread, so with luck this is the right spot.

for the past 2 months i have been using a lumia 735 on windows 8.1, and i taught myself to code with c# and visual studio, i have even released an app (technically 2 apps as the 2nd one was a complete re-write to be a windows universal app) the thread for them is here http://forums.windowscentral.com/app-spotlight/353188-rpg-app-mr-g-reaper-thread.html

Now here is the issue, my windows phone is cool to program for but completly impractacal as well an everyday phone, tons of apps i used on my s4 are missing on it, the os is not as user friendly as android....its just not the right phone for me. So on tuesday my phone company is sending a courier to pick up my lumia and give me a xperia m2 (i didnt have much say in what android i got) naturally i want to adapt my app to work on the android os... only i have tried once before to write an android app and there is one thing that drives me crazy.....screen control, on visual studio you drag and drop the buttons to where you want them on the screen, and thats where they will be, on android you have to calculate the weights of the buttons to get them to share a certain amount of real-estate of the screen and well it never felt intuitive....guess im more a wysiwyg programmer. But i may of just been doing it wrong so here goes:

1) is there a way to create the gui in a wysiwyg manner? (like windows phone development in visual studio)

2) is there a way to code in c# instead of java? (for free, i have seen a service that allows you to do it for about $99 a month..... my apps are free, no adverts, a hobby, i cant pay out for that kind of thing

3) any tips for a newbie ?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kogashuko:
Looking at the G4 I was trying to determine if it supports band 30. I found several lists and they are all different. Band 29 is the catching point for me. Some say that it is supported and the ATT site doesnt list specs. The g3 had 29 support so why wouldnt the g4. Also their is no band 12 listing on the ATT version but on the tmobile one. Seems like they are just listing the current carrier bands.

So can someone post the bands listed in the # menu on the 810, 811, and 815?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StarmanUK:
I have an H815 I am not completely sure what you are referring to with regards to # menu but on the retail packaging it states the following -

GSM 850/900/1800/1900
WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100
LTE 700(B28)/700(B17)/800/850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kogashuko:
Generally on a LG phone you can type 3845#*(model number)# and get into the hidden menu. Once in you click LTE only and then Modem Settings - LTE Band selection and it will list available bands. It is probably slightly different for the 815 or maybe the same. I don't really know. Mostly I am interested in if the 810 or 811 has band 29 and band 30 would be a bonus.

Alternatively you can type 277634#*# and skip the first menu and go right into LTE-only menu.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StarmanUK:
That last option worked on my 815 no idea what most of it means but believe I found what you might be looking for even if you're not completely interested in the H815.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kogashuko:
GOT IT THANKS A TON

That was what I was wondering. Band 29 is there!

That is a good menu to know about and can be helpful. You really cant mess anything up too bad but don't mess with any of the values if you don't know what they mean. Thanks again.

Hi,

I installed MvrTrueVGA and changed resolution to VGA. After that my iGO doesn't start.

It just flashes with "STARTING" and nothing more. Moreover I can't close it, I have to make softreset.

If someone has some tips to help me, please let me know.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Oleander:
Without knowing anything about iGo....

Many programs dislikes VGA Landscape. Have you tried changing the screen orientation before starting iGO?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] olegzz:
iGO has its own config for display orientation. In VGA mode I can't access to that setup, I had to change to qVGA first then try VGA again in portrait mode.

You were right, it started in portrait mode, but now on display there are running lines, it seems like iGO constantly redraws the screen.

It locks very strange like bad synchronization on TV.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Gboye:
I'm in thes same situation. Whenever I need to use Igo I change to QVGA and revert when I finish with it. I also use it in Landscape mode. Any attempt to use it with VGA (MvrVGA) creates load of problems like the screen not responding or mis aligned...

Guys, Whats the Code u type in the dialer to unlock ADVANCED Developer option??

i came across some thread some months back where some 1 had posted the code which starts with *#*# but cant find it anymore...
[GiONEE Elife E7] RSGI_PT:
To get access to all Developers Options just make a shortcut of Settings-DeveloperOptions.

You can use a launcher such as Nova Launcher: New Shortcut - Activities - Settings - Developer Options.

Or you can use any app available on Play Store such as QuickShortcutMaker.

To access Gionee test menu type on the dialer *#8702#.

Usually this is in chinese language. If you want a English Version of this app download GN_MMITest.apk and replace the existing one on /system/app

I am editing the Secsettings.apk.

I am able to decompile it just fine with apktool 2.0.0 but compiling is another story. I install framework-res.apk and even installed twframework-res.apk. but this is what I get with unedited secsettings. I get same results when I do my edits.

[Nexus 9 General] duongdn:
It will eventually stop working again. I sent mine in for repair three times. HTC said there was nothing wrong each time. Google said it was a hardware issue and to deal with HTC, HTC said it was a software issue, and to deal with Google. Too much of a run around. Amazon was gracious enough to let me return it, even though I was outside my return window. Really wanted to keep that tablet. HTC doesn't even pay for shipping to their repair center, so each of those three times, I had to pay to get it shipped for warranty work.

Yeah, my experience is the same. Eventually, it will stop working. I sent mine back to Google (bought from the Play store) three times and got new devices and each one is exactly the same.

Since 3 or 4 days I have unwanted reboots. And today, my nexus powered off and didn't want to reboot.

Even I press the power button for a long time (more than a couple of minutes) , nothing happend.

The only thing I got, is when the device is plugged on usb charger : the nexus boot on the google logo then switch off and boot again on the google logo then switch off again and again and again....

I can't access bootloader or recovery...

Do you remember I had an issue with lagfix fstrim app? Anyways, I tried another fstrim app by the name of trimmer and the app ran perfectly. I assumed it was an app side thing that had to be changed. Thanks for the support anyway.

Would you mind adding more governors? Its one of my favorite choices in tweaking.
