Hi, I'm still rather new to this and I was trying to root my HTC desire 600c . When I went to start up my phone is gets stuck on the screen with htc's brand name and below it in red text it says "this build is for development purposes only do not distridute outside of htc without htc's written permission. failure to comply may lead to legal action".

when it first did this i thought it would just take awhile to load, i waited for 30 minutes.

I've tried many things:

clearing all caches

redoing the rooting process in the above url

redownloading the files, double checking everything

factory reset. Please help me guys

I had go to the mount and storage in CWM, and mistakenly change something. Now, after flashing rom, the obb folder can be seen and deleted( soon re-appear) but I can't copy nor create file to it( both on phone explorer and PC).

Any suggestion?

Thanks for help.

[XDA Assist] OfficerJimLahey:
Hello, and welcome to XDA Assist! :cowboy:

From what I see, users want to make that folder visible, not the opposite... :p

As for it being write-protected, it varies by device and ROM, here is one example of it in play on the Moto G:

> Moto G > Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Q] OBB Folder write protected/hidden in Android 5.0, Lollipop Update.

To get help for your situation, I would suggest creating an account and unless you have a Moto G (then can post above since your device experts are there), try posting in the [Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly] thread of the > Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.

Hope this helps, and good luck! :)

I have a OnePlus One CM11 rooted.

I read a post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2064859&highlight=deleted

And therefore I "played" a little bit with my phone with those things:

1) \System\priv-app\ContactsProvider.apk

2)ContactsStorage from Setting ->Apps->All->ContactsStorage

Somehow I ended up with the situation that:

1)ContacsStorage does not appear at the apps list.

2)The directory \data\data\com.android.provider.contacts have disappeared.

I want to reinstall\flash the ContactsStorage app.

I know that reinstalling the rom will fix it, but I'm trying to avoid it.

Do you know of any other way I can do it?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Extract it from your ROM zip. Copy back to it's original location with a file manager (Root Explorer), set permissions and reboot.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barak91:
I don't have my rom zip (This is the rom that came installed).

But returning the original backup apk and rebooting did not do the job
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Then you are doing spmething wrong. What do you use to move? Is system set to R/W? permissions set? Same folder?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barak91:

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
The problem that the apk is vanishing after reboot is not a permission issue. Try a better file manager (in my case Root Explorer never fails). Mount system as R/W and do the rest.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barak91:
The apk is NOT vanishing, it stays there.

The app of ContactsStorage is vanished from the apps list permanently.

As well as the folder in \data\data of com.android.providers.Contacts.

The option to sync google contacts is gone as well.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jbezotte:
Yesterday my one month old DT shut itself off for no reason. When I attempted to turn it back on, it showed 0% and would only flash the "powered by android" logo. When I plugged it into the factory turbo charged it showed 88% and it started. I had to go somewhere and when I unplugged it, it died. Plugged into the car charger it said 0% and after half an hour was still at 0% and not responding. When I returned home and plugged it back into the turbo charger it said 31% and indicated charging. After about an hour it had gone to 4% so I began troubleshooting. Cleared cache, wiped phone from recovery, and as I was installing a battery app it powered off, and now the wireless pad will make it blink and get me into safemode, but all it will allow is the barcode display. If i plug the turbo charger in while its on the pad it stops blinking and the green led illuminates, with no increase in battery percentage. I'm on MetroPCS and used a friends upgrade to acquire the phone, and it seems that since I never activated the phone on their network, the TOS were never accepted leaving the account with a pending order status, and its not possible to accept the TOS with a phone that wont power on. If anyone has a suggestion or method of resolving the issue with the phone or Verizons TOS dilemma, it would be greatly appreciated.

I sent mine back to the supplier and after trying to reflash the ROM they were unsuccessful and so i am now waiting on a new XDA. Dont bother with O2 as they were no help at all to me, firstly i couldnt get through at all and after 2 weeks of emailing them every day i got a response telliung me how to put the unit into boot loader mode (no help at all!!!!!)

Well first I think hice algo wrong with my device, the problem was quize install the ROM James and followed all the steps of several videos and post and so good I thought I had succeeded so far to enter the recovery mode to install CMW read before installing I had to remove the entire device to defectosal not have time to install the zip, so I agreed to install the rom and everything well until three seconds of the phone installation and the abortion did not know why and what Maybe I decided to go back to the beginning and restart.

But my real problem is not the advancement of the home screen, just off the classic vibe presentation does not advance HTC more

I can go into recovery mode again and CMW but I can not move from there. Any of you who can help in this case, I am new to this and I assumed it would be easy, but since my last hope is to take to fix, and thanks for helping or at least go read my post, I hope I offended anyone. :confused: :)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrolotus:
I found one post, but I'm not really sure how many care that you can't have the ambient display without the lock screen enabled. I got very used to the ambient display on my moto x and not having it (or having to use a lockscreen) is driving me crazy! I know that the phones ambient display works by showing the lock screen, so you have to have a lock screen. Would an app that automatically unlocks the phone when you press the unlock button work? Do any of the stable ROMs support the ambient display?

Maybe I'll just have to get the LED working instead :(
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrolotus:
for sure. i dont use a security lock :) i just want to emulate my moto x and not have the extra step of swiping of my lock screen. i guess i could make a custom lock screen that automatically unlocks when the unlock button is pressed?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The problem is ambient display turns on the screen based.on movement or notifications, so that's happening in your pocket, you're very close to having your leg accidentally dump your girlfriend
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you need to lockscreen for ambient display to work, as thats where it is displayed. and no, you cant make a custom lockscreen. you don't need to have it secured, but you do need the lockscreen to see it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrolotus:
fortunately pocket texts arent really an issue for me since i keep my phone in my purse ;)

i apologize for not being clear enough at first i guess... i totally get that you need the lockscreen for it to work. i really only had two questions that i was wondering how you all would feel about, i'll ask them a bit more directly:

a.) would making a process that unlocks the lockscreen when the side-button is pressed work?

b.) do any ROM's support ambient display functionality?

if both of those are a hard no i guess i'll throw in the towel and go to the LED notifications :)

Uhm.... wut?

You may not be able to make an APK that installs a custom lockscreen onto *just anybody's* phone, but you certainly CAN write your own lockscreen.

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/master/packages/Keyguard/

Just to make a wild guess, I would say that anyone who is able to WRITE software (like a lockscreen) could probably manage to BUILD AOSP. I mean, for crying out loud... they break it down with step by step instructions even! https://source.android.com/source/building.html

Mebe you are confusing Android with Apple?

Apple: No, you can't do that.

Android: Go ahead, YOU CAN DO IT!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yes, its possible for you to build a stock lockscreen. that will do everything that your included lockscreen already does. and in more likelyhood, it would be possible to build a modified lockscreen.. but the fact is, nobody has built one publicly, nor shared one. but regardless, you cant have an ambient display, without a lockscreen to display it on.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wyt18:
do you use Tasker? it's quite easy to make a scene that wakes the screen to show the notification content, allow quick dismiss/delete via swipes, and without having to install a separate lockscreen app

you can customize the exact appearance of the 'ambient display', timing, actions on swiping, apps whose notifications are allowed to wake the screen, etc.

Hi XDA,

Before I decided to open this topic I've read through several topics, but I can't seem to find out what I am doing wrong. I hope that opening this thread will help me solving my problem.

I have a Dutch Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9505) running Android 5.0.1 Lollipop using the Nova launcher, but I'd like to install a ROM for new features and better battery life. After looking around in the development forum I found two interesting ROMs which I wanted to try out. These are the following:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-imperium-ll-v1-0-t3046889

Or

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-albe95-s6-port-1-0-t3092479

I downloaded the zip file from the first ROM listed and copied it to my SD-card

Both seemed like decent ROMs. I looked up how to root my phone and found out that by using Odin this was pretty easy. After rooting my phone I used QuickBoot to enter Recovery mode. After wiping the DATA I chose update through SD Card > selected the zip file and thought it would install from that moment.

After waiting several minutes the ROM seemed to be installed, the phone rebooted itself and after seeing the swingy SAMSUNG logo it said SYSTEM-UI has stopped. I was able to use all functions, aside from the taskbar, homebutton and backbutton. Also, it seemed like nothing changed? My phone was exactly the same, aside from the fact that my background was black.

I am confused where I am making a mistake by installing either ROM. Can anyone point me out where I make the mistake and tell me how to solve my problem.

Thank you.

If there's any other info neccesary please don't hesitate to ask, i'm happy to provide!

I'm currently with the last viper one and my battery life is not good in my opinion and I'm having battery drain with media server (already cleared all the sd card and still have battery drain but anyway even when I don't have the battery life isn't very good).

Maybe the stock one is the best one ?

Thanks for your help

PS : Also if you have any tips to improve battery life, it would be great :)

It was even better than stock rom ? What battery life do you actually have ? (how many hours screen on, screen off...)
