So i'm well aware that XDA is a very well established forum and i am expecting a fair bit of jip for this first post but i am completely unsure of where to ask the question...

Is it possible to install some sort of key-logger on my S5 which will record every keystroke, text, call, picture, etc...

I have seen various programs online which either charge ridiculous amounts of money and look highly suspect, or operations which require rooting the device. Which i do not wish to do as it is my work phone, the reason is purely for proof of any comms between myself and clients when it comes down to disputes over contracts of work instructions, if i had a recorded phone call for example it can easily sway a decision in my favor.

My apologies in advance if this is in the incorrect area of the forum and any advice/assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry if this seems a bit noobish, but I'm trying to do this on a Vodafone v1620 so it's quite an interesting experience for a first timer, anything else I should know before I start that isn't in the wiki about this particular model (PH20B2)? Thanks in advance.

I forgot to do step 1.....nandroid backup.....sigh....

So here's the story. I loaded Cyanogen 10.2 onto my flash card, and rebooted into TWRP 2.8.7.0. I cleared all the partitions except for the SD card, then went to flash it. It errored out on flashing the ROM, and it was then I realized I was S-ON.

I have tried running RUUs on my desktop, pushing factory ZIPs from rebootRUU mode, and flashing signed custom roms (which should work with S-ON), all to no avail.

I either need to get some kind of ROM on it (so I can run the S-OFF tools), or I need to get S-OFF from fastboot somehow.

Here is the pertinent information.

New info for my own thread.

Everything I read tells me that I should be able to flash custom ROMs based on stock, but they keep failing with 'symlink errors'. Upon some investigation, using the 'Terminal command' option in TWRP, and running 'df -h', it seems these ROMs arent flashing because the /system partiton is being formatted as 70MB (instead of 2GB) and is becoming full during the flash process.

I can resize it to 2GB, repair it, format it, and its all fine; until I flash a ROM. The auto format in the flash process is making the partition 70MB for some reason.

Anyone heard of this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tufkal:
Solved my own problem :P

Here's what was up, for those interested and in case someone else runs into this.

This phone's firmware (not ROM, or bootloader, or recovery, the actual FIRMWARE) was updated when a SENSE 5.0 ROM was put on it once upon a time. This re-arranged the partition structure on the device, using different spots of the NAND for different things. If you try to flash with a ROM that is not 4.3 based, or use TWRP before 2.8.40, it will try to run the scripts and do the changes thinking the old partition structure is in place. It messes it all up, resulting in the symlink errors and the incorrectly sized partitions.

I was able to flash a nightly of CyanogenMod 11, which has the correct partition information in it for phones with SENSE 5.0 firmware or later.

No ICS or 4.2 ROMs once you the device has been re-partitioned by the SENSE 5 update!

Hello,

I was picked to do a review of the Roocase Dual View Case. I've had it almost two weeks and here are my initial impressions.

Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of the packaging but it came well packaged and in perfect condition. Getting the tablet into the case was easy and it feels very well protected. The texture is a nice leather feel and the inside is a soft fiber.

View attachment 3402778

View attachment 3402777

The case also came with a stylus that also works as a pen. Works nice though I haven't really felt a need for a stylus.

View attachment 3402783

The case closes easily via the magnet and triggers the screen on and off.

You can put the tablet in a landscape stand easily.

View attachment 3402779

View attachment 3402780

It does sit pretty well in this position and is a snap.

To put it in portrait but standing you need to pull the velcro apart and reattach it sideways with the outer part of the case.

View attachment 3402776

View attachment 3402782

This didn't balance too well and fell over a couple times. I probably just didn't have the right technique. Not really a position I ever use anyway.

The case does add more thickness than I'd like so it is hard to hold one handed for me when I want to read.

View attachment 3402781

It also can be a bit of a challenge to touch the edges of the screens (especially in landscape when trying to touch the bottom) due to the case wrapping around the front a bit.

View attachment 3402787

All in all I do like the case though it's bulkier than the MoKo Slim Fit case I have been using. It offers more protection and is easier to stand up then my other case which you need to pop out one side of the tablet to get it to stand.

In the two weeks I've had this case it's worked very well my tablet seems very protected. Case looks and feels like new yet and should last forever. For your money it's a great deal!

Thank you for the opportunity to review.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xenose:
Hi Guys,

I ran into the same problem as some other people on the forum when trying to CID unlock my athena using the CID unlock software in Vista.

I had previously run into the same issue when trying some RUU version in vista as well.

Basically using RUU (older versions) and IMEI-CHECK cid unlocker in Vista fails.

This is because when the phone enters bootloader the driver that is installed in vista doesn't get recognised by theese tools.

I do have a fix however.

Here is how to do it:

1. Download and unpack the archive provided and unpack to your favourite location.

2. Put the phone in bootloader mode and plug it in to your comp. Vista will install the drivers.

3. In device manager find the device, right click it and select update driver.

4. The trick here is to select "Select location from list" and then point the wizard to where you unpacked the drivers.

5. Install the new PocketPC driver.

Voila.

IMEI-CHECK and older RUU tools will now work in vista.

Hope it helps someone out there at least......

Cheers

Hi, has anyone else had any issues with using folders on the home screen with apex launcher on android 5.1.1?

Since updating to 5.1.1 any folder i create on the home screen wont show the icons within it, i had a folder already there prior to the update which contained all games i have, the when i tap the folder it just shows as a blank window, 0oddly enough though the icons do seem to be there still, but just invisable, if i tap on the window in different places, the games till start from where they used to be.

I have tried resetting apex etc and cannoy find any way to get the icons to show.

Can anyone help?

there is a way to revogate its permission? patch Whatsapp though LuckyPatcher or something like?

i've tried some mods too (whatsmapp, whatsapp+,ogwhatsapp) but without success

the mods based on old versions could not bypass the version check even with frameworks (whatsappmod, whatsappx,app settings, per app hacking)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesignGrits:
Every day when I login to the forums I see either another AOSP/CM rom or nothing new. Being a long time Nexus fanboy, I find it really odd that this device doesn't have any ports of third party UIs. I mean, the Nexus 5 has MIUI, FlymeOS, Ubuntu Touch, SailFish, and more. I always thought that was the coolest thing about Nexus devices, we always got the latest and greatest Android software and the Devs would port over so many good UIs because of how easy it was to port to a Nexus device.

Are there any devs working on any ports at all?

Do you as N6 users want to see more ports, even if it's not a daily driver but for the fun of trying something different for a change?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
most nexus modders use nexus devices not for porting, as porting generally brings instability, but for the stability of using aosp. every other device has to "port" aoap over, which reduces the stability. nexus devices dont have to port it over. if you are so interested in running a port, why dont you port something over. you will realize that it is by far not easy work, and you will spend all your free time on it, without ever getting paid for your work. enjoy :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesignGrits:
Interesting, I'm not a Dev, but I always thought it was easier to port to Nexus devices since they are always running stock and not locked down like most other devices.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
port, to a device it doesnt belong on.. being a nexus has nothing to do with it. a nexus has an unlockable bootloader and is easy to root, thats it. drivers to get things running right on the n6 are not open source, they need to be written from scratch to get any os to work with our hardware and cpu.

Would the drivers from the Nexus 5 help at all in that regard?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
no. drivers arent for nexus devices, they are for our specific hardware. thats why a nexus 6 can not run kitkat, drivers for a nexus 6 for kitkat do not exist(actually they do, but never were released by google).

As [MENTION=1811927]simms22[/MENTION] stated, parting correctly is very difficult from one device to another, regardless of which device you have. They generally need many dirty hacks and are seldom stable.

I think overall on nexus devices, interest in ports is waning, so there is little to encourage someone to do it.

As an idea of difficulty, the moto x pro, which is pretty similar to the nexus 6 still hasn't been ported, and they've been trying.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] brucewilsonpa:
By way of encouraging discussion -- The HTC X7500/7501 is the closest current HTC product to the emerging class of computers being dubbed UMPC (ultra-mobile PC) that seems to be catching fire. Of course the appeal of the UMPC is its reliance on currently popular PC OS -- WinXP or Vista, as well as its small size (most have screen sizes between 4.5 and 8 in). The Athena's 5 in VGA screen, relatively powerful cpu, 8GB HDD, and form factor with the easy-to-use keyboard makes it very close IMHO to the appealing features of the UMPC's, although it's not officially classified as such because it uses the WinMobile OS rather than XP or Vista. I'm personally torn between my x7500 (with WM6) and one of these UMPC -- have tried the Sony Vaio UX390N but sold it because I found its limitations (unreadable screen, reliance on mouse vs. touchscreen, slow processing with vista) too great. But there are a number of newer UMPC versions coming out that seem worth trying (but who can afford them?).... the OQO Model 02 is only slightly larger than the Athena but offers Vista (at twice the Athena price).... the Raon Everun due out shortly is also only slightly larger than the Athena but not as powerful as the OQO but seems like a "hot" seller.

As a longtime proponent of pocketpc/pdaphones and similar pocketable devices, I'm intrigued -- what thoughts do others in this forum have regarding the emerging UMPC compared to our Athena/Advantage devices?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] victoradjei:
Battery life is what separates the men (athena) from the boys (umpc). Even the ulv editions don't have that much staying power :p I have tried the Sony umpc TZ...., and now have the Stylistic ST5112 (not real umpc cos of larger screen) which claims 10hrs battery life, but not really getting that much.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] boinger66:
personally i like zippy performance...

and the thing with vista is... with a 1.2ghz chip as these current umpcs are offerning these days...

i dont feel its well worth it for laggy performance...

and it really depends on what your use for the said device is.. ?

is it going to be primarily a workhorse type eqiupment ?

or is it going to be a simple phone that is powerful ?

i prefer to go for something like an athena... for quick work on the go...

but if im going to be doing any REAL work that requires a computer as in web design / various other apps ... i dont see myself successfully utilizing a umpc...

i prefer the large displays at home for webdesign and coding etc.

and there are many of small notebooks you can buy these days for a good price ... in the range of something like 10" notebooks

this is no bigger than a 8.5 x 11 notebook great for note takign etc.

i was thinking of getting one for college work...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] brucewilsonpa:
I think this is the key point -- and one which is acknowledged by some of those doing reviews of UMPC -- right now the UMPC's available, while pretty cool in lots of ways, still have a lot of limitations so they can't even match what our WinMobile devices can do. OTOH.... I keep asking myself if I really use all that power of my "primary" computer (core2duo laptop with lots of cpu power, ram and large HDD)..... maybe my challenge is to decide just what I really need??????

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] johnwalk:

I was looking at umpc's today, "was really looking for a bluetooth mouse, no joy as usuall, thanks pcworld." and thinking, nice, but the cpu isnt that much better than my ameo, plus running vista, which is cpu hungry, I just think no, I would like one, but since I got my ameo I don't turn on my pc as much, unless im video converting or doing somthing, which a umpc would be to slow. dual core and a 64 bit operating system, I like speed.

with wm6, or 5, I can do pretty much what I need to do. and lets face it I can remote desk top if I really wanted to do somthing else while I was killing time at work.

its a nice idea, but I think after contiplating one for this lenght of time, I think WM6 is enough for what your average Joe does with it. Be it presentations, excell in my case or sending emails.

Anyway, thats my drunken opinion, and im off to bed.
