Hi! Could someone create .bin file of the stock abootb partition (mmcblk0p9 for me) and upload it for me ?? Accidentally wiped it while played with partition tool and now am wondering if it's the reason for DL mode not working and if it will prevent from Qualcomm drivers working if everything else fails. Thanks in advance!

D290N
[LG L Fino Guides, News, & Discussion] vleksvndvr:
Hello. I have next struggle, so I hope anyone over here may help me... I have experience in software flashing stuff, cellphone repair stuff etc, but with LG D290n, at 6% of flashing procedure, phone shows me ASSERT (with red colored letters) and phone just reboots and flashtool asks me to restart the procedure. I can upload video on youtube. My question is obviously how to fix this (with software if possible) or do I need to change the complete motherboard of the phone?
[LG L Fino Guides, News, & Discussion] miki811:
Omg thanks !!!!

MAN Thank you so much for this guide.

I refreshed my LG d290n today and it works like a charm !!!!!

I had a problem with boot loader and verify errors on first screen.

My Lg is 2 years old

THANKS A LOT !!!!!

kdz file trouble

I am having trouble with kzd file. every file I have downloaded I can't open it keeps showing me message "the archive is either in unknown format or damaged". My device is LG L FINO D290N. When it is downloaded it comes in winrar. How can I overcome this?
[LG L Fino Guides, News, & Discussion] miki811:
KDZ is not for opening.

When you download kdz file just keep it that way and only in lg flash tool you will click on that file.

:cowboy:;)

The reflashing process in my LG D290N rests at 0%. There is a message that says:

Really my phone was rooted but it wouldn't be important, would be???

[LG L Fino Guides, News, & Discussion] atsibo:
Hello i'd like to ask something about the storage , this is my second time doing this on the same lg fino and i think that the free space its getting shorter and shorter now i got about 300mb free space. Is this normal or does it also stores the previous flashes?

And if so is there a way to delete them?
[LG L Fino Guides, News, & Discussion] meganukebmp:
The android system is split into a few partitions. /data and /system mainly. This tool really only replaces those. And some bootloader stuff but that doesnt matter in this case. The partitions are of fixed size and overwritten. No old data can persist.

where i find latest BL and CP
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinaldistic:
So whenever I use Google now voice activated from screen off, one I'm done with saying the command it leaves the screen on, won't let it shut off, and since I use a navigation bar replacement app it won't let me go back or home... The only work around I've found is to click something in Google now or give it a doesn't command that takes me out of Google now and prompts me to unlock the lock screen.

Is there a better work around? Or a way to fix it? WITHOUT disabling voice activation from screen off

[Palm Treo 750] GDinerio:
I seem to be experiencing a problem with sending and receiving MMS. I checked all the MMS settings on the cingular site and they are correct. I compose an MMS and it goes to the outbox and never attempts to send it. After a while of checking it in the outbox an envelope appears with an arrow scrolling over it with a percent complete to the left of it but it stays at 0%. If anyone else is experiencing this problem or know any solutions your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Palm Treo 750] luminus:
I don't know if your settings are right. But at the HTC website you can download a cab installer for each country and provider that adjust the right settings for you about mms and so on.
[Palm Treo 750] GDinerio:
Problem solved figured out that it was not the actual MMS settings on the device but Expressmail was somehow preventing the MMS from being sent out. I had to uninstall xpressmail and now the MMS works like a charm. Now just have to find a way to connect to my corporate email.
[Palm Treo 750] yeokpd:
Can you pls tell me which website is it ? Cant seem to find.
[Palm Treo 750] luminus:
http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htcp3600.html

Found it on Europe HTC site.

I do have a palm treo but just choose any phone and the page will show up where you can download this software.

It seems that they only cover europe.

[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
It's been a long time when I first tried to compile Lollipop for IncS. After some months, I finally managed to get it booting! :) Enjoy! The Incredible S will never die! :p

FAQ:

Q: Why is this or that not working?

A: Because this ROM is in BETA stage, if you tell me a bug, I'll try to solve it. Always give me a logcat in this case!

Q: Why is the Video Playback doesn't work?

A: Don't know yet, will try to fix it somehow... :)

Q: Why is it slow?

A: MSM8255, 768MB of RAM

Q: How can I build CM12.1?

A: You need to set up a basic build enviroment, then:

[LIST]
[*]mkdir cm12.1
[*]cd cm12.1
[*]repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-12.1
[*]mkdir -p .repo/local_manifests
[*]wget https://github.com/szezso/android/raw/cm-12.1/local_manifest.xml -O .repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml
[*]repo sync -j4
[*]. build/envsetup.sh && brunch vivo
[/LIST]

After that it has finished, you'll find your ROM in the cm12.1/out/target/product/vivo folder. :)
[HTC Incredible S] vuvkar:
I love you :*
[HTC Incredible S] Mohamed Ab M:
Happy to see you did this!

YOU DID IT SZEZSO! our legacy device running the lastest ver of android! :) :highfive:

Unfortunately, I can't test it because my vivo's screen died! :crying: .. I dont know i might repair it for this! :confused:

Anyway.. BIG BIG thank you szezso! :good:
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
Thanks guys, I hope you'll enjoy this ROM! :) I'll try to make a video soon.
[HTC Incredible S] stryker09:
OMG YESSSSSSS VIVOPOP LIVESSS YOU DID IT!!! Awesome work!!
[HTC Incredible S] ruudjuh1986:
This is amazing! Let's test this ROM
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
Video added, now you can check the speed of this thing! :)
[HTC Incredible S] grzesiek1945:
Nice to see, i will test it, how about battery life?
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
I can't really say anything, cause mine just laying on the table. :) With this "usage" I lost 1% in the last 7 hours, so it seems to be the same as Kitkat.
[HTC Incredible S] Sithhy™:
I tried to install it, but it gives me whole lot of errors :(
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
Did you install the needed TWRP recovery, linked in the first post? ;)
[HTC Incredible S] Sithhy™:
I seem to have missed that part... But thanks :D
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
[MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION] You are Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::D:D

One question though: How can I install the recovery without fastboot? Is there a way to do it with adb?
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
If you have ADB, then you have fastboot as well. ;) With adb, you can't but you can flash it from your phone with apps like Flashify.
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
I'm on Microsoft Windows 8.1 and I can't use fastboot functions in it. I need either adb or a MS Windows 7 or XP to do it.

Edit: Never mind, I used my brother's laptop. It worked, Thanks!
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
I also have Windows 8.1, and fastboot works for me just fine. :confused: No matter anyways. :)
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
I had one small request. Would you please upload the file somewhere else? Google Drive is kinda blocked in my country. The Download speed is 5-6kb/s. It might finish in 2 days LOL :D

d-h.st is good I think...

BTW: If fastboot is working for you on MS Windows 8.1, you probably have USB 3 port on your laptop/PC
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
I can't really because my upload speed is very slow. :( May I'll try to make it smaller...
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
Alright then, no worries... I'll try to see if I can bypass the Block... Thanks anyway! ;)
[HTC Incredible S] rqmok:
Sorry, [MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION] for using this thread as an announcement in advance.

It seems that not many people go to the General area. I have posted a thread there where I am trying to work out the screen panels used by vivo. I need everyone's help. So, please go over there and tell me which panel your phone is using. There are also instructions on how to find this information.

Please help me out everyone. Thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] AfterCloudia:
Dear all,

I am facing a problem that,

my device's GPS doesn't work.

Any advise? Thanks. :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Incredible S] vuvkar:
GPS is fine, even smart lock is working very fine (trusted places). I think you should wipe data , and reinstall vivopop :)
[HTC Incredible S] AfterCloudia:
Thanks for your suggestion.

I have installed the app called gpsfix and it works!

but it seems like because of my location.
[HTC Incredible S] funCrash93:
ADB and Fastboot Drivers works.

using that 15-second ADB Install ;)
[HTC Incredible S] vuvkar:
Szezso, can you just upload minor bugs fixes like mobile internet, or microphone fix please. I have read somewhere that you have already fixed mobile internet, but for me it is more important microphone fix, eventually it is a telephone :)
[HTC Incredible S] funCrash93:
[MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION] if you want, you can add this to the OP ;)

Kit-cat design on Lollipop ?!?!?!?!?!?!

WTF :eek: :eek:

it's a different taste of a lollipop :D

or maybe just "old-school" style ??

lollipop with kitkat topping?

Hellooooooo~

Can anyone please kindly post a screenshot of Settings > Apps > Running.

Hi, my mobile data isn't working. How to fix this?
[HTC Incredible S] nksoori:

[HTC Incredible S] ghostwen:
Really Nice Work! :fingers-crossed:

Seems 3G is not working :eek:
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Where's the lollipop pls update lel :D
[HTC Incredible S] rqmok:
[MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION], what do you think about increasing the data partition for allowing more apps to be installed. It is not too hard to do, but everyone will have to reformat their phone and internal storage, because the data partition will take some storage space from the internal storage. After that, only the ROMs with this new partition layout can be installed.

It would be very tedious for everyone to go through all that reformatting, but what do you think?
[HTC Incredible S] rqmok:
Am I the only person on this forum who is alive?
[HTC Incredible S] davidchuyaya:
uh no

why do you ask
[HTC Incredible S] rqmok:
I checked the forums and nobody said anything for an entire week. I even asked szezso something but he didn't reply...
[HTC Incredible S] funCrash93:
everybody on out in holiday :p

A0001?bacon
[HTC Incredible S] davidchuyaya:
Well this device is basically at the end of its life, so I doubt anyone uses/cares about it that much anymore

after all the struggling with CM11 & CM12, despite szezso's best efforts, camera quality still couldn't match stock, so I went back to ARHD

which essentially means it will never get a software update again and I'm just waiting for it to break some day

I'm sure a lot of people are waiting for their Inc S to die too ;)
[HTC Incredible S] rqmok:
[MENTION=4468696]funCrash93[/MENTION]. Holiday? Looks like I'm missing out... :(

[MENTION=5211278]davidchuyaya[/MENTION]. Oh, and here I was trying to port LiquidSmooth to Incredible S...
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
Well, I've already told the guys about the issue. All we need for device is a boosted 4.3.1 JB that can function the best on our device. KK and LP are too graphical for our device, and our device's GPU can not handle both the OS and the apps... I vote for 4.3.1 but as far as I'm concerned, nobody is making a 4.3.1 ROM; result = I've been using ARHD for about 8 months straight, except 2 times of beta testing the LP ROM.
[HTC Incredible S] rqmok:
Hello.

I do not believe what you have said is 100% correct. Personally, I believe that the Inc S is quite capable of running the latest android version. The problem is that we are still using a very old kernel. The old kernel is not very compatible with the the latest android and drivers for vivo. However, there is probably a 99% chance that we won't get a later kernel version in the near future. If some genius is able to do it then this phone will be able to run latest android without any problems.
[HTC Incredible S] davidchuyaya:
I do see the issue with performance (Gingerbread on this phone was actually quite snappy)

but for some reason, all the noise that appears when I take pictures with google camera/CM camera pisses me off

if you do port a new ROM for this old guy though, I'll certainly try it out. Good luck on that endeavor.
[HTC Incredible S] rqmok:
I belive the camera problem is because of the camera wrapper that is being used. If I do release a ROM in the future, I will try to see if I can do something about that.
[HTC Incredible S] funCrash93:
how about SlimPop?

A0001?bacon
[HTC Incredible S] nksoori:
I really think that this device can handle Lollipop. I think I have mentioned this a few times, excellent battery life, specially on standby. It doesn't seem to drop. The major issues are mobile data and H/W video playback. But I use this phone daily, and I still admire how I run the latest version of Android in it. Obviously you can't play heavy games on it. But the phone is still good for daily use.
[HTC Incredible S] wherenow:
I/S

I find it runs better when the battery is at 15% in saver mode.

No doubt it switches non essential tasks off, when I receive a call when in saver mode the screen shows up immediately, in normal mode it can take 4–5 seconds, sometimes longer.

Mobile data is something I would love to see working too.

I also use this daily, I thought about going back to stock rom but quickly changed my mind when having a play with the phone. This phone is capable of running lollipop in my opinion too.

Cheers,
[HTC Incredible S] rqmok:
How about not? :D

EDIT: A lot of the source code in LiquidSmooth is actually from SlimRoms.
[HTC Incredible S] funCrash93:
why not?

isn't Slim the lightest ROM after AOSP?

A0001?bacon
[HTC Incredible S] rqmok:
Hahaha. Don't worry. LiquidSmooth is actually based on SlimRoms.
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Did you just get fooled by a name
[HTC Incredible S] rqmok:
Hey Aussie, how's it been?

By the way, is [MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION] also out on a holiday?
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Not bad mate

Am taking a bit of a break out of xda stuff at the moment. I see you're still going? :)

Last I spoke to him a week or so ago he got fvcked by htc service and got a moto G :D
[HTC Incredible S] rqmok:
Good to know.

Yes, I am studying right now, and can't seem to solve anything. I'd rather die. ;)

So, do you think [MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION] is not going to continue development?
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
I think he is still going slowly. Actually now that he has a new phone as his daily it should be better cause the old vivo doesn't have to be stable daily driver
[HTC Incredible S] funCrash93:
no, my Girlfriend uses it on Samsung p3110 and as far as I noticed and her feedback, Slim is the snappiest of all ROMs that I tried for that Tab (can't say anything about LiquidS tho), especially compared to CM that feels heavy for that device.

that's why I asked :p

A0001?bacon
[HTC Incredible S] rqmok:
CyanogenMod is basically AOSP with a few CM features/settings in there. I noticed that CM is a bit heavy for our device. So, I also considered SlimRoms, but then I thought about LiquidSmooth, which is, basically, an improved version of SlimRoms. I didn't choose SlimRoms because it is not as exciting as LiquidSmooth.

Other than that, we definitely cannot have ROMs like AOKP or ParanoidAndroid, because they would just slow down the phone even more.
[HTC Incredible S] nksoori:
Guys, just met with an error. Does the inbuilt super user work?
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
Guys, I have to give up! :(

All the things that I've tried weren't working, I can't fix the remaining issues... I have no more ideas, if someone can continue my work or just want to try something out, just take my sources! Sorry, but I can't do anything else, all my work was rubbish in the previous weeks. :(
[HTC Incredible S] rqmok:
Thanks for all your hard work. Have a great life. Hopefully, we'll see you around. ;)
[HTC Incredible S] Sithhy™:
Szezso, my man. You did your best work, to keep this little thing up to date with his big cousins, but the time had to come, where it needed to just lay back & get lost into memory of people :) I wanted to thank you for all the work you did for all Inc S owners on here. Hope you gonna develop some more awesome ROMs for other devices :cool:
[HTC Incredible S] davidchuyaya:
Like everyone else, thank you [MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION]

You're a wonderful and hardworking developer, and you basically inspired me (and I bet many others) to enter the Android developing arena

I'm honestly surprised just how many altruistic developers like you exist online

Hope you do well in school then?
[HTC Incredible S] DuffyBank:
moto g I heard?
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
Thanks for all of your great work and spending time on this legacy device but can I have one more request? Would you PLeaSSSSEEE fix the 4.3.1 release?!! :crying::good::crying::crying:
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
Thanks guys! :) And as I said, if someone has ideas how to fix the remaining bugs, just pull my sources! :)

[MENTION=5390812]DuffyBank[/MENTION]: Yep, Moto G 3rd gen. :)

[MENTION=4985761]Eternalman[/MENTION]: I remember that I wanted to fix something, but what is the problem with the ROM? :o
[HTC Incredible S] a.broken.star:
[MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION] is the man !!!
[HTC Incredible S] DuffyBank:
Hmmmm reason to upgrade from my 1st Gen..........
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
Well, there 2 major issues...

1- There is no download link!!!

2- They battery of the latest build died in less than 8 hours of no use.

+ Would you please make a fresh build of the 4.3.1 with the latest CM sync? Thanks! :D
[HTC Incredible S] zizou_cr:
Lord master [MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION], thanks for all the time spend on us, on keeping alive these smartphone with new SO releases, thanks for making possible with our beloved IncS!
[HTC Incredible S] babicz99:
How to solve mobile data ? It doesnt work, although the apn was changed manualy (?)
[HTC Incredible S] rqmok:
[MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION], I am going to take your kernel source and continue your project CM12.1 as a new project.
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Are you actually using vivo still as your main device?
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
Nice to hear that, bro! :)
[HTC Incredible S] rqmok:
Yep. Except, I am using a Mac to compile, and don't have enough resources to install linux. So, I cannot compile with F2FS because linux headers are missing, and the LiquidSmooth didn't compile because of some gcc linker problem. However, CM is the only one that compiled properly, but without F2FS support. I hope not having F2FS won't slow down the phone.

Anyway, good luck brother! ;)
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
Yep, hopefully, but it couldn't really get slower... :D Good luck with your ROM, bro! :)
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
Well, yeaaahhhh...

Truth is, I've been having some financial conflictions... I had to buy a car and since I'm going to college in 2 months, I've got to buy a new laptop cause of my major ( Software Engineering ) so, I've really gotten into some issues... And since most of the smart services like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc... are blocked in my country, I mostly use my phone to make calls and send some text messages... That's pretty much all of it... So, I really didn't need a new phone up until now... I'm actually planning to buy iPhone 6s, unless HTC is going to make a flagship...
[HTC Incredible S] rqmok:
I wish you good luck, but one word of advice: Look for something other than HTC. I never, nor any of my friends and family, have ever had a good experience with HTC phones.

If you still want to root and modify then go for an android phone. Nexus 6 is really good, so is the Moto X.
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
Thanks for the advice mate. Well, I've been using the Incredible S for 4 years now and I've got to say, HTC uses the best material both for the hardware and the body of its devices, But I'm a little tired of android. I've been searching for 2 months and to tell the truth, Windows Phone and iOS are far smoother than android... That is pretty much the reason why I've been trying to get and iPhone but thanks a lot anyway! ;):D:good:
