Hello to everybody. Hope it's not to annoying that i try it here. I read in the forum and in the tutorials - but it's still very confusing. Would be happy to read some answeres...

I have a new Vario II (latest model) and try to figure out some details.

1. I would like to upgrade to WM6 and found the Rom's posted here. I also read all the tutorials but i didn't find a final answere to this: When i flash the rom with a rom version posted here to just try - can i downgrade it to the original one? Sure there is a "Original Shipped ROM Version" of T-Mobile as the assumption is written in the tutorial.

2. I am just irritated because i read of some bootloader versions that are not downgradable. Is this still the case? Is the bootloader updated by a rom update? And if not when and why it is or should be updated? For what exactly the bootloader is needed?

3. I am using Windows Vista (but i also have an Computer with XP). I read all about the problems with this because of the missing Active Sync. Does this affect also the procedure of updating the rom? Will future versions be compatible with the "Windows Mobile Device Center"?

4. I am also irritated to read about radio rom updates. Are they includet in full rom updates? Why are there so much updates of the radio rom that are not given by the single providers? Are the radio roms all the same for all versions of the hermes and all the languages? is an radio update downgraded when i go back to my original rom? If not is it able to downgrade it in every version?

Sorry for alls this noob questions. It's a very new material for me and i hope to be a little more experienced in a few weeks...

Hi and welcome:)

Have you read our Mrvanx guides. I suggest using his guided process particularly if you do not have experience in flashing. See here:

http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=section&id=7&Itemid=27

Look to the main menu on the page.

and look on the wiki here:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sonstiger:
Thank you for your answer.

That was what i did. But the questions were still there...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Bram87:
[1] Hmm..yes it is possible (and there is always a "but"), but if you do upgrade it to wm6 (And the rom is not official (or not from t-mobile itself)) you will lose your guarantee on your device. So if you want to downgrade it to wm5 again you need to find a wm5 t-mobile rom (and there are alot of threads with links to download those t-mobile wm5 roms) or you could backup your rom that is on your device, but thats another story.

[2] As far as I know, POF (he's a smart-ass member) has a new bootloader and its possible to downgrade. (or you flash your wm5/wm6 (any rom for the hermes) with your sd card so you dont need a bootloader. Click)

[3] I used Vista to! And there are no problems if you READ this, Mrvanx guide!

[4] You can be irritated as much as you want but I think you're talking bull****. You can flash any hermes radio on you device but the point is, every radio is different for each person. So you need to find out what radio is best for you. And if you dont have any problems with your existing radio, why flash it?

I just flash everything on my device because I think its fun to see what happens..

everything you do with your device when i comes to flashing; IS ON YOUR OWN RISK! So dont blame us when you blow up your device.

Have fun..

I am making this forum and I want opinions on whether I should make is light colored themed of dark color themed.

I heard from somewhere that dark themed websites engages the audience and stuff, but white themes also look pretty good, like this website.

Light themed websites look ok, but they are every where.

Some dark themed websites look kind of cool

so what should I do !?!? (its called an interroban)

[Off-topic] Jesse72:
Dark is always best IMO. But if possible, give a choice
[Off-topic] advent_geek:
like a xda, use light
[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
Design wise, Light has been a major trend for the last 10 years. (I blame Apple for that.)

But the problem, that many designers ignore, is that white screens cause eye strain, migraines, insomnia, epylepsy, and severe headaches. Also, White on an AMOLED screen uses 80% more battery than black. (Because Samsung's AMOLED creates black by turning the LED off.)

You need to know your target audience. Are they mainly Samsung users visiting the forum from a mobile device? Then go with Black. The difference between constant use of a black website vs a white one is about 8 hours of battery life. Are they mainly general users and will mainly visit the site from a non-samsung device or desktop? Then go with White.

But the best option would be to simply provide users with a toggle that says "Light | Dark". Use the Light version as the main (in line with modern web design), but give users an easy to find option to swith to dark. (Don't hide it in the user settings, nobody looks in there).

Although I would probably opt for dark grey as opposed to full black (Which does negate the battery life a bit, but it looks better.). Dark grey is more professional. Try #2F2F2F. (47, 47, 47 RGB)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mecharaiden:
So, here's the story.

Before this happened I was browsing Reddit(reddit is fun), and then I've gone to PlayStore and installed Next Lockscreen from Microsoft. After a couple of times unlocking the screen it suddenly became really bright. So I checked brightness settings and it was on the lowest setting. After that I've tried factory reset and after that I've tried full wipe and reinstalling custom ROM. Nothing helped.

This used to happen before but locking and then unlocking the screen would fix it. The screen becomes really bright, the colors are washed out and the screen brightness and contrast are way too high. The settings tiles in KitKat which are supposed to be gray are now purplish. I can photograph the phone screen if needed.

Any other solution because I believe my warranty ran out this month. :crying:

Thanks !

[YotaPhone] sdspieg:
Can somebody please tell me whether it is possible to use the yotaphone 2's EPD as a (small) display to do some basic word processing outdoor out in the sun? I.e. to attach a keyboard/mouse to it (e.g. via bluetooth), to open some simple word processing app or even sthg like google docs, and then to just start working.

I have actually been looking for quite some time for some way to do this and I can't for the life of me understand why there aren't better solutions out there. I am always pleasantly surprised when I type notes on my Kindle Paperwhite. Of course it's a lot slower than on an LCD, but I am not a fast typer anyway, and I could live with some lag - if that's the price I'd have to pay to finally be able to work outside. I have thought of the Raspberry Pi x Kindle solution (but you can only type on sthg like vim); of ebook readers with an open OS that you can attach a keaboard/mouse to (like Onyx Boox that runs on Android 4.0 - and I'm still thinking about that); or of an e ink monitor (too expensive). But it is time for me to change phones, and if this works, I might actually consider it.

If anybody has any experiences or thoughts or - better yet - videos to share on this, I'd be very grateful... Thanks!

[YotaPhone] Jeopardy:
I haven't tried this personally, but I am fairly certain that this would work. Android supports bluetooth keyboards. The only limitation would be that you have to use mirrored mode, because there are no proper word processing apps made native for the EPD. Plus the system might not enable external keyboard for EPD apps only. Not sure on the latter though, I don't have any bluetooth keyboard/mouse to test this with.
[YotaPhone] sdspieg:
Thanks Jeopardy. Can you (or anybody else) tell me whether there is an active developer community working on those EPD apps? And also - if you have to use mirrored mode, does this mean you have to open the phone and the AMOLED screen has to be 'on'? On can all of this just stay in the 'background'? And does mirroring to an additional lag beyond the usual - and much slower - e-ink refresh rate? If anybody has any first-hand experience with this, I'd really be curious... Thanks!
[YotaPhone] Jeopardy:
Well there are some developers, myself included, working on EPD applications. But not a lot. There should be more once Yota releases the device in USA around mid-August.

Mirrored mode does not need the color screen to be turned on. Of course behind the scenes it will wake up the system to similar state as if the AMOLED screen was on, but that's handled automatically. This means more battery use, but you should get a lot more out of it than using the color screen, especially on static apps like word processors which don't update often.

You can handle everything from the EPD. You can, for example, create a shortcut on the EPD for a word processing app, which will automatically enable mirroring and open that application. The lag on EPD when mirroring should be about the same as on native EPD applications, but of course you will notice it more because you can easily compare it to the non-laggy color side. There's only a few extra algorithms for turning the color image to nice greyscale, and some logic for creating additional "flashes" to fix ghosting when switching between apps etc. Should be fine for word processing, especially on external keyboard, provided you can write without constantly checking which letter you just pressed. The refresh rate on the EPD is about 8 frames per second, or one frame every 0.12s.
[YotaPhone] ridgemagnet:
If you're seious about outdoor word processing may I suggest a rooted Nook Simple touch? It is small and light and a fraction of the price of a Yotaphone... as well as having a much bigger screen! You can pick these up for around 40GBP in good/new condition and although it will be a fair bit of messing around with rooting you are unlikely to come totally unstuck, and there is a lot of support on XDA to get you help if you do. With the NST device, you use the OTG USB mode to attach a bluetooth dongle, hard wired full sized keyboard or whatever to your desire. Pop over to the NST forum and there are many threads on this topic, but to whet your appetite here's someone who is doing that with a solar panel to power the setup!

I received the update in the morning. Have used the tab briefly 15 min after update. The display quality has improved, it appears more crispy, colors are more vibrant. One thing noticeable is, it is blazing fast. Have played NFS most wanted for few minutes, and it was a piece of cake.

Will spare more time with it in evening. :)

I solved this by:

restoring a 4.3 backup

doing a factory reset (in the phone settings, not in a custom recovery)

restarting

updating

copying the backup back from pc to internal memory

re-inserting external SD
