[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] papamopps:
No just the second time. lol

And I cannot believe how many new members start flashing a divice as difficult as teh Herald.

For wizard it was such easy and I keept reading 1 year before starting to post and to flash.

And I read ALL Herald related posts befor I start to ask for flashingmethods and then I did all to dump the first official rom for the herald community:

And then I read something like this - that makes me a little .....

I helped a lot of people to unbrick nad flash their devices with the terra rom and answered a lot of questions by msn.

And then ..... from a junior Member. Sorry, but for me indiscuteable.

Thanks
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Kelvino9:
Don't need to tell me, lately I don't answer questions I at least seen once.

The worst I find is if the thread with the question is on the same page as the one just posted one.

And as you said, the Herald forum is still so small to browse through it,

unlike the Wizard, Hermes, Prophet fora.

Since ignoring those posts like many other frequent posters do,

it kinda makes me smile when people brick the phone out of pure ignorance and lazyness.

Those experimenting for the community I feel sorry about it.

Cheers!

Yes - but as you know: I´m a teacher. I cannot leave questions unanswered. Hehe
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] kennyidaho:
People just don't read anymore. They want it handed to them; they don't want to go out of their way to do anything.

For example in ASERG ROM thread how many people ask same question over and over again? "Oh NOOZZ I bricked my phone, stuck @ white screen, WTF do I do" then when told to use RUU they still don't get it.

I'll admit I am new to this whole game but by reading the topics I was able to figure out how to install the PDAVIET ROM and in the process bricked my phone twice. Worked it out though.

I am pretty excited for HTC's WM6 RUU because then I will start to learn how to cook a ROM.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lagamorph:
So I just ran the OTA update, and since then it seems my Proximity sensor has stopped working when in a call. This means that the screen is doing all kinds of things when I'm on a call, and I've even ended up putting the phone into flight mode mid-call. It worked perfectly before the latest update, but now seems to have ceased working.

I've gone into the service test menu, and there it seems to work, as soon as I cover the sensor it goes from Off to On, but during phone calls it isn't working at all.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Varun5179:
Recently i installed cm12.1 and it's good. There's a user setting in it,in which one can switch users. It's fantastic feature for keeping other people away from your personal stuff. But the only problems i found is- HOW TO INSTALL APPS IN OTHER USERS AND HOW TO PASSWORD PROTECT YOUR MAIN USER?

If anyone can help me on these since i cannot see any file manager or any password option for my main user,. I will be greatly thankful.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikhilkothari:
It's Too Easy,

1)Password to Main Account :

Go Directly to your main account and then find Setting>Secuirty>Lockscreen>Pin/Password/FaceUnlock etc

This will Put a Lock on ur main account and not to any other user(So now ur main account is Safe).

2)Installing App on other user :

Don't Do This as it will Take more space on your phone. But still if you want then

Enter into Guest user by pulling down the notification bar while you on the screenlock and select your other user or guest user.

Now, you are in guest mode. Try find File manager by cynaogen in App Center or Preinstalled App's.

Installing an app in other account needs APK FILE of the APP. So find a APK FILE of your Desire app or Playstore Apk From Google and put it into External SdCard then Install it. Done Cheer's !!

Put A Thumb Up If This Help you :fingers-crossed:​
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Varun5179:
Thanks a ton...but the file manager was still absent from guest user. Had to manually install some file explorer (xplore) but the sd card (internal storage) shows nothing but like formatted phone. Guess guest user is made completely out of invading into my personal stuff...thanks anyways :)

[Android Auto General] shady1080:
Hi guys,

I picked up a brand new Skoda Superb (which features VW Connectivity stuff) and Android Auto/CarPlay/Mirrorlink should be supported.

When I connect my LG G3 it gets recognized as an Android Auto supported device but after a while establishing a connection I get a message like "Device not supported etc".

I'm based in Austria, where the Android Auto app is not available in the Play Store (I downloaded the APK somewhere).

Is there a Google product forum to report or ask about this? Some fellow Austrians who tried this as well? Is there some official word from Google addressing country availability?

Thanks!
[Android Auto General] mikereidis:
You are more likely having device problems than country problems.

Just make sure you have the latest Android Auto app installed, as well as the Google app, Music, Maps, Now and Text To Speech.

This worked for me before AA was officially supported in Canada. Once I had a problem because the AA app was older, but Play refused to update it. I had to manually update outside of Play.
[Android Auto General] shady1080:
Can you give me a source where to find the newest version of Android Auto? Or the version number of the most recent version?

I have used the newest version from apkmirror Android Auto 1.1.075280 (1990467-release) which should be the newest available. All my Google apps seem to be updated (at least Play Store on my phone tells me so).
[Android Auto General] dj4n90:
Country availability of Android Auto - Netherlands

I have a similar problem in the Netherlands.

I picked up my Seat Leon FR Connect yesterday and have been fighting a couple of hours with Android Auto.

https://www.android.com/intl/en_us/auto/

I found and installed the last Android Car apk from here;

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-075280-1990467-release-android-apk-download/

I used FakeGPS to change my location to either Germany or USA

I used VyprVPN to change my IP corresponding the selection above ( on cell service )

I cleaned Playstore cache

Connected the phone and started the wizard on the radio and the magic happens,

App opens on phone and tells me to download some stuff from the playstore. (indicating headunit, cable, phone, APK are fine)

After that is fails downloading the files from the market so it seems im stuck at google region detection.

Next thing I have to try is do the same in WIFI as I've read that VPN spoof might not work network.

any help or suggestion is highly appreciated :D
[Android Auto General] shady1080:
FakeGPS and PlayStore cache. I forgot those. I have created a German Google Account on my G3. I'll try it right now with all the stuff you mentioned.

Do you expect it to work once you have initiated it once?
[Android Auto General] dj4n90:
HiHa got it working. :)

Phone > Removed SIM card

Phone > developer options > allow fake location

Phone > Connected to WIFI (duh)

Phone > FakeGPS to New York

Phone > VyprVPN to New York

Phone > started Google Maps and landed in .. New York :p

Phone > Cleaned play store cache

Car > Connected phone

Phone > followed instruction's Voila

Phone > Installed SIM card

Repeatedly disconnected & reconnected kept working.

Let's hope it stays that way :)

[Android Auto General] shady1080:
Maaaan I'm so jealous. I tried it the exact same way with two different phones. I even drove to freaking Germany (I'm living at the German/Austrian border)!

The phone shows up in the list (it's exactly the same in my Skoda like in your Seat), I click it, then the app gets started on the phone very briefly. After some seconds the car stops connecting and I get the error message.

How do you clean the PlayStore cache? Am I forgetting something? Is the WiFi you're connecting over on a dutch IP?
[Android Auto General] dj4n90:
Must be on Android 5.0 or higher

use proper USB cable

Step by Step

https://www.android.com/intl/en_us/auto/

Not available in my country :crying:

Phone > Settings > scroll to bottom > about phone > Android version > MUST BE Android 5.0 or higher.

Phone > Connect to WIFI.

Phone > Update all Apps tot latest version.

Phone > browse to http://goo.gl/yZ3ABl scroll down to All versions and download the latest version (A.T.M. JUN 10 Android Auto 1.1.075280 (1990467-release))

Phone > Install the APK (Phone might ask for permission)

Phone > Settings > scroll to bottom > about phone > build number and short tab on that number until it say's developer mode.

Phone > Settings > scroll to near bottom > open developer options > allow fake location

Phone > Remove SIM card

Phone > install FakeGPS and move to New York (double tab somewhere in the city) and push "play"

Phone > install VyprVPN and select a New York IP (location pin next to connect) ip location should change to USA

Phone > start Google Maps go to current location and see where you are .. (should be New York)

Phone > settings > Apps > all> open Playstore > push stop > push clean cache

Phone > make sure Phone is conncted with BlueTooth to car

Phone > connect with car by good USB cable (use a good one that came with your phone not a cheap chineese one)

Car radio > menu > full link > set to "Android Auto" > select your phone

Phone > followed instruction's (checking for proper apps)

Phone > Stop FakeGPS and VyprVPN

Phone > remount SIM card

I can’t promise it keeps working but if it stops working go to the above link, download the latest version of android radio and try again.

Proof

[Android Auto General] mikereidis:
So Google tightened the screws.

Let's hope they don't read these posts and fix it later.

I think Google doesn't even have to update the APK to change their bad country detection; another downside of constant connections...
[Android Auto General] shady1080:
Thanks a lot man, but it's still not working. Tried with the G3 and N4...
[Android Auto General] dj4n90:
does it go wrong somewhere in between ?

android version 5.+ ? (I'm on stock non root N5 5.1.1)

100% sure you have no cell network connection? (google takes location from cell network)

100% sure fake location is working (checked with google app?)

100% sure you are on USA ip adres ?

tryed to clear both DATA & CACHE for Google Play Store ? (based on other location tricks cleaning cache should do but better safe than sorry)

everything conform screenshots ?

(Mid september I'm in AT Wagrain again, came back home from Wagrain last Friday and picked up car on Saturday :D)
[Android Auto General] shady1080:
I think the only way for my phone to find out my real location is through the WiFi connection from my home which I'm using. But it worked for you with the regular dutch WiFi, right?
[Android Auto General] dj4n90:
Jep from regular Dutch wifi

have you tryed http://www.whatsmyip.org to check your real ip after activating the VPN ?
[Android Auto General] shady1080:
Tried it again on a different WiFi at my friends place. I followed all your steps (100% sure). Maps and whatsmyip.org are showing me fake locations, Google Now immediately shows me weather forecasts for NYC etc.

No luck =(
[Android Auto General] dj4n90:
Weird, maby your skoda head unit has slidley diffent software compared to the Seat version.

But there is good news, Android auto should be released anny time soon if everthing goes well.

My dealer told me it was supposed to be released (in the netherlands) on 1-7-2015 reschedule to 1-8-2015 sow lets hope for 1-9-2015 :angel:

I will try my Nvidia shieldTab (5.1.1) to figure out that it works to.
[Android Auto General] shady1080:
Seems your Seat dealer is pretty well informed! Hope he's right :D
[Android Auto General] dj4n90:
And voila working on ShieldTab :)

Dealer had a official leaflet from Seat including aproofed apps working with AA.
[Android Auto General] shady1080:
Does your Shield have a SIM card or is it just on WiFi?
[Android Auto General] dj4n90:
Wifi only
[Android Auto General] shady1080:
Still not working here, but something interesting happened. I installed the newest version of the AA app on my LG G3 via apkmirror. Now when I start the app, it shows me a screen saying "This device is not compatible with Android Auto".

I heard several people stating, that AA works on the G3. Whats going on?

I'm using Skype regularly and the tablet is becoming very hot in that case (together with huge battery drain during calls).

But more worse...it seems that when it is becoming too hot, the audio hardware is stopping work. The other one is not hearing anything until the headphone is replugged. Then it works for a while until it stops again. It seems to happen more often when the backside is a bit covered (tablet lying flat on surface for example... Higher temperature? )

My Tablet Z was running longer on Skype call than the Z4.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlr8edmayhem:
I suppose you could, since FireFlash is just an app to flash files outside of recovery, pretty much like flashify. Although, in my experience, i've never updated my Kindles TWRP as i've never seen the need to, but i did update my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 TWRP from like 2.5 something to 2.8.6.0 by just flashing a zip like normal and then instead of rebooting to system just reboot to recovery again and everything has worked fine with it. Although if you're adamant about doing it through fireflash i'd assume you could.

[General Questions and Answers] Greydesk:
Hi all,

I didn't see a specific forum to post this in so I'm posting it here. If I missed it, I apologize.

My last phone was a THL W200S that I enjoyed but I wasn't thrilled with the support from THL. The screen has cracked now so I am shopping for a new phone, but I'm not in a rush. I'm finding the search filters on Ali Express and DX.com don't pickup everything so I'm missing possible phones that match what I'm looking for so I'm wondering if you guys (and gals) can help me out.

I'm looking for:

Lollipop supported

720P IPS minimum screen

Octacore

2Gig RAM minimum

16 gig (prefer 32gig) storage

SD supported

NFC

GPS

Notification LED

Metal Frame preferred

Good, removable, Battery

Company with a history of supporting its phones with at least one OTA update.

Bluetooth, Compass, Gravity sensor, GPU, etc. are secondary considerations.

I've had a Doogee DG550 that lost wifi within a month so I'm not thrilled with that. THL has done no OTA updates so I'm not thrilled with them either.

Thanks!

i didn't find any tool that makes WM6 themes .

the WM6 themes are different than WM5 in few ways . like the bottom and upper bar are 3d ,

so if anyone knows a tool or app that creates WM6 themes please advise me .

WBR
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] meschle:
Hi - build wm6 themes is v similar to wm5 themes albeit a few differences. I am plannig to write a minitutorial but not sure when this will done because i am cooking a rom at the moment.

For the app use my friend BenThon's app - ThemeGen CE http://www.codeppc.com/telechargements/themegence/themegence.htm

it now runs under vista :)

Follow my guide for wm5 themes here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=275907

To keep the 3d bars - use basehue to define the colors or Navigation bar color 1 (do the same thing)

1st change for wm6

Do not use these keys in the key section Color_SoftkeyFlatCentre and Color_TitleFlatCenter as they will give you flat bars.

2nd change for wm6

You can use standard format theme or start image theme still in wm6 but most of the wm6 have orientation P & L themes. (portrait and landscape)

Thats all for now.

Tips from BenThon - author of ThemeGenCE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you cannot figure out all options of ThemeGenCE and nevertheless want to adapt - easily - a theme from this thread (borealcool themes,

black in Black with screen 320x240, same scheme colors) to your wishes, follow these steps :

1) Download one the themes above (in this thread).

2) Launch it in ThemeGenCE. Do not close the program !

3) In the bottom left panel, define the 3 items :

a) Define Folder for saving the new theme.

b) Define File Name for the new theme.

c) Define Internal Name for the new theme.

4) Build your 2 images (with the software you want, Paint, Photoshop... In bmp, gif, jpg or png. Windows Mobile and also Desktop Windows do not care about the extension of the image. It recognize the real format, independently of the extension. That is the reason why, for simplification, in ThemeGenCE I always put ".gif" extension.).

a) one for Portrait Mode. (240x294 pixels)

b) one for Landscape Mode. (320x214 pixels)

5) Copy the 2 images in the same folder as the program ThemeGenCE.

6) Delete the 2 existing files in this folder :

stwater_240_320.gif

stwater_320_240.gif

7) Rename your 2 images :

Portrait Mode Image to stwater_240_320.gif

Landscape Mode Image to stwater_320_240.gif

8) Go back in ThemeGenCE program and save the theme by clicking the fourth button of the main toolbar. You do not see update of the

images in ThemeGenCE but your new theme is now created with your own Images ! I have built the ThemeGenCE program to verify "on

idle" if the images have changed, so new images are incorporated in the theme even if the preview is not systematically updated.

9) You can verify that your new theme is really created. Exit from ThemeGenCE and relaunch it with your new Theme.

is there a way to change the colour of the top start bar text???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] meschle:
Not really - if you change navigation bar color text - it only changes for a second when you apply the theme it then reverts. It was meant for wm2003.

You can change the color of the text of the bottom bar Color_CommandbarText in the wm5\keys section but not the top.

BenThon have you any suggestions? Is there a key we have missed out for the top bar color text?

the upper and button bar is

just like the bars on other versions

as it it's only asigned colour

nothing more

Sorry Mark, "I am a poor lonesome programmer... " and I have not WM6 device!

Thanks for your help and your support, Mark.

How do you incorporate a customised Dialpad into the theme?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] meschle:
Not possible i hace tried. Although a tsk file is really a cab file it does not work the way its expected. The only way would be to install it all by cab but then the theme would not show under setting\today. (theme would be installed by the images not tsk) Better to do them separately.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BenThon:
I think it is possible !!!

If you don't name the file with TSK extension, but with CAB extension.

I think I have seen this in a forum.

And maybe a soft reset after...
