[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike-y:
If you plan to root your phone, you won't want to update just yet. currently, there is no easy way to root stock lollipop, like there was on 4.4.2

That said, I just got my GS5 last week (work phone) and it updated the 2nd day I had it, before I knew about the no-root situation. I haven't noticed any bugs or issues with 5.0 yet, and I do like the UI better than the previous version on 4.4 (it's a bit less touchwizzy)

Also, I do like that samsung at least gives you the option to disable most of the bloatware apps that are preinstalled. I disabled a lot the apps I didn't want/use and the phone has been running great. Battery life has been stellar and the standby time is crazy good.

how can i root kit kat ? i saw one thread stating that i need to install a specific kernel, than towel root, than the kernel of my original rom etc etc.. problem is that i dont know where to find my original stock kernel,. and the method seems a bit complicated.

thanks for ur answers guys
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
If your KK ROM build is earlier than June 2014, you can use Towelroot without downgrading Kernels

If it's newer, you'll need to either downgrade to a pre June 2014 KK ROM, or find the <June 2014 KK Kernel, flash that, Root, flash your Kernel back again

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fede37:
Hi, everyone. So I have a XT1032 8gb and I've recently flashed the new Paranoid Android 5.1 ROM. The Android version is 5.1.1 and Paranoid Version is 5.1.

The problem is that when I'm using Gravity Screen Pro and I press the home button on any app, menu or whatever, the screen goes black and the only things showing are the notification bar and the toggles shade, as well as the navigation bar.

Now, problem is that no matter what I press, or try to go, the phone won't respond. I try to use the cog icon to go into settings, but the phone won't so anything.

The only way to fix it is by turning the screen off and on again, but when I press the home button again, the problems reoccurs. When I turn Gravity Screen Pro off, the phone works like a charm, but this is a must-have app for me ?. Any help will very greatly appreciated guys. I'm desperate. Thank you.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kykc:
I've noticed that opening certain mkv files (and sometimes even opening a folder containing such file is enough) is leading to reboot after update to lollypop. I've used to think that this is ARHD rom or elementalX kernel related issue, but I was able to reproduce this issue on other m7 device which is completely stock and even unrooted. Is there really some bug in stock kernel? Here is file that can be used for testing (~800k, no big deal)

PS I've used Root Explorer and ES File Explorer as file managers and MX Player and BS Player during testing.

PPS I've managed to track down and avoid this kernel panic using crude patch in my custom-build kernel (drivers/video changes)

Should I report this to HTC or I'm just missing something? :)
[Android General] hsinghsasan:
Hi

I will teach you how to root an Android phone by using phone method

Download framaroot.apk from Google search

Download super su app from play store(don't open it)

After open framaroot

And select your option

And then reboot the phone

Now then open the super su app

And then updates the su binaries

And download es file explorer app

And open es file explorer and go to settings and select root manager and select yes and after select root explorer

That's it & enjoy :) :)

Zte grand s2 s251, indian 3g version with snapdragon 800 and 2gb of ram is similarly specd lyk gionee elife e7 and also stuck in android 4.2 . unlike gionee elife e7 we do not have any development in xda. As the devices are similar will any of the dev here be intrested in taking a look at our device and hopefully port something to it, we dont evn have a custom recovery.
[GiONEE Elife E7] Ravikirancg:
Provide me a boot image of your device and I can build a recovery for it..

Also, do you have root access? If yes, see if you can find a file called config.gz in /proc/

i.e., give me /proc/config.gz

That will help determine if your device is indeed close to E7..

Hi

I know it's too late since your last post. But now only I happened to see this and yes we are still in search of a custom recovery. Here is the link to download the boot image.

Hello

Is there a way to get the Comm Manager module to manual turn on / off the GPS module?

Many Thanks for your hints

Roman
[P3600 ROM Development] Frenchat:
Good question !
[P3600 ROM Development] Julioski:
Why do you want that?

GPS turns on and off on demand. If an application need to use the service it starts, when the app. finishes GPS automatically turns off.
[P3600 ROM Development] sammis:
There are cases where the GPS does not turn on (on demand )even if you have set the correct GPS port and where an on/off comm manager might be useful.
[P3600 ROM Development] mun_rus:
I think that there is a only way - it's add some button that will execute GPSInfo or other such program from Commanager.

Don't see anoter way

Hi there,

Here's a theme that is not exactly a theme: the originals/defaults apks are modified (framework-res, DeskClock, Contacts, Dialer, TeleService, SystemUI, Settings, Mms, Keyguard).

I'm perhaps oldschool, but I don't like flat design and hate android's green. You will find a dominant of dark blue not very saturated and copper

This can be flashed ONLY on the last CM11 version (12.5) from MrSteve555. And note that ONLY french, portuguese and english are available (wiped other languages).

Also don't like at all cm11 design.

Everything is possible actually, but it needs some hours of work: decompiling your apps and mines, searching for what to modify, detecting differences, etc.

It does not require a lot of skills, more a question of patience. Perhaps a themer can do that, but it seems that we don't have a lot of them on XSP ...

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shayan_doust:
Hello Everyone.

I am quite panicky now. It all started out when Lollipop wasn't available for my Region (Middle East) so I decided to flash Lollipop to my phone. Everything went well with me creating a custom TFT file with the Xperifirm software I downloaded. The problem all started when I first flashed it. An error message in the logs of Sony Mobile FlashTool said "Flash failed - Abort" Now the problem is, I cannot turn on my phone. It keeps coming up with the message "Update failed - make sure your phone is connected to your computer and try again". I really need help. I want to get my phone back - whether or not it means changing it back to its original factory operating system version or putting on lollipop

Thanks
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrtease5865:
try another ftf and flash it with flashtools .you no how to flash so try it again .hold power and volume up till phone vibrates and then slide your finger down to the volume down and hold it till flashing starts again .
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koimr:
Don't panic. :)

Try creating the TFT file again but this time do NOT include "fwinfo.xml" when creating the bundle.

Have the phone OFF and cable DISCONNECTED, start up Flashtool, select your TFT and when it prompts, insert the USB cable and hold down Volume Down (NOT Power) - if all goes well, you'll see flashing info on your computer and you can let go of the button.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuclearwire:
I think when you packed your rom to ftf you have not deleted the fwinfo.txt file and packed also this with your rom which have difficulties to flash the ftf file. go again with the process of custom ftf making and firstly delete the fwinfo.txt file from your downloaded rom and make an ftf and then try to flash. this will resolve the problem.

Since I didn't have time to verify this in the existing modem images post for the non-LTE devices, I decided to post here detailing what I know works if you want to daily-drive 5.1.1 nightlies on your T999. The working baseband I've flashed is T999UVENC2 (intended for factory/OTA 4.3 Jellybean), from the thread here highlighting a collection of factory zips as they relate to stock TouchWiz "Nature UI" ROMs. All my flashes have been done though TWRP I loaded through Odin ~v1.85; I believe this configuration with stock kernel and CWM should still work, though TWRP seems as close as we're going to get to brick-proof. The wrong baseband can brick everything, hence my post.

Mods, please delete if you wish, though this seemed important to me considering I might have saved ~$1000 USD upon not buying an unlocked Note Edge or dev edition Xperia when I got it working.

Hi!

I'm upgraded/rooted on the 3.0 update for Android 5.1 and I noticed that when my tablet hits fully charged, the screen wakes. It then proceeds to do this every few minutes so long as its plugged into the charger. I have a feeling this is just the battery dipping and then coming up to full, which is then triggering a screen wake. I did not notice this before the 3.0 upgrade and was just curious if there is anything I can do about this? It is largely just an annoyance but any suggestions would be awesome.

$ fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

$ fastboot erase modemst1

$ fastboot erase modemst2

$ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
