[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotrin2000:
1. I know cygwin can take a ROM (Say my stock ROM) and deconstruct it so that I can modify it in Android Kitchen, BUT does Android Kitchen also come with an Emulator so I can load my ROM into it and run it in an emulator from my PC?

2. Is there a more up to date (Absolute beginners guide to Customizing ROMS)? I seen this thread already http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1801690 but one of the last comments on this thread says "I believe some of the tools and methods needs to be updated in this guide."

I guess the bottom line is, I want to take a copy of my phones ROM, put it on my computer, and run it in an emulator. The purpose for this is a couple things

a. I want to develop apps for my phone and the OCD in me would just preferr to see my creations working on a copy of a ROM that came from my phone.

b. I also want to customize my own ROM.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all
[Verizon LG G2] NoBrickPlease:
I've done a bit on my phone over the past: installed TWRP, rooted, installed some ROMs, and eventually reverted back to stock Lollipop. Somewhere along the way, I lost the ability to use Download Mode properly, which prevents me from doing a number of things: installing root, a bootloader, ROMS, etc.

If I enter download mode, I'll see the following:

Firmware Update

Do not unplug the USB connection until the process is complete

Progress bar here remains at 0% at all times.

Beneath this section is a box that has two lines (first line is grey, second is in red):

VUSER_G2 B69

Modified

Any idea why my download mode is failing to continue? It should be installing the device to my computer at this time, but it just holds steady.

On a possibly related note, I've tried using various root methods (including a 1-click root program), none of which work. Something seems borked with my phone, though it otherwise functions normally.

Please help!

Hi Everyone,

There has been a lot of discussion about the best way to use email on a smartphone like the Tytn. Does everyone use the IMAP protocal for best results?

Personally, I get A LOT of mail for work and I would love to find a way to get the mail I want but not have to deal with junk mail and other emails that are automated on our side workwise.

Any suggestions?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] walshieau:
is your work email PUSH email? or just pop3?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ackerchez:
Hey walshieau, Thanks for getting back to me. My email is a simple pop3 account.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] walshieau:
if the email server supports IMAP then use it....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] unwired4:
Or to get full functionality, rent an exchange server mailbox from someone like 4smartphone (for about US$50 per annum) and get push email etc.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] V J:
IMAP generates a lot more traffic than POP3. Just fetching a single

mailheader (send/receive when there is 1 new mail) yields over 10 kB more

traffic in IMAP. As my one subscription is limited to 10 MB/month, thus

using POP3 makes much more sense (speed could also be an argument,

altought even in GPRS it doesn't differ that much). Conseqently, I have

different entries for the same mailbox (currently: 3 IMAP, 1 POP3).... but

this also has to do with my question:

How do you guys work with different outgoing mailservers?

I have duplicated my mail account 4 times: once for each outgoing

mailserver I want to use. I then just make sure I have selected the

correct mailbox prior to starting a new message. But this hardly is an

elegant solution (I have to fetch mails for all of the accounts to keep

them up to date). As the different mailservers have no log in, I cannot

use them when not accessing via that particular provider. I have been

looking at some mechanism to hack the hosts file, but the tool

"pockethosts" isn't very well suited for this purpose (and haven't found

anything else).

email

Hi, I'm currently using 3 email addresses on my phone plus the sync with my pc.(and home pc)

All I've come up with so far is to set all email pop/imap to only download headers, (and 2 of them only set for the last 3 days only),then I need to "select" manually what email I want to read and download them, the rest I leave for outlook to look after on my PC.

At the end of the day I finish up with a lot of "unread" emails on my phone, BUT once sync'd with pc they are all copied across anyway, just in my "outlook" folders, not my phone email accounts, if all that makes sense.

Any replies of forwards on my phone from any email includes my signature "email" that I prefer to use.

ie seperate work, personal etc

gmail

I went to Gmail. Now it front-ends 4 different POP3 accounts, and with the spam protection it has it saves me from deleting a lot of crap. Only downside is that although I can read all my email on my Hermes, I can't really manage my Gmail account the way I want from the native mail client on the Hermes. No worries, I can always use the Mobile Gmail java app or go through IE to the mobile Gmail website. It's working for me...ymmv.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrin.jalali:
Hi,

Here's my problem:

Device: Sony Xperia Z3 D6653, unlocked.

1. Install a recovery, TWRP or CWM, doesn't matter, using

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

2. Install a ROM (I've tried CM 12.1, latest nightly, or BlissPop) using the recovery.

3. Reboot

It boots into the ROM successfully, but now if I try to reboot and when the LED turns purple, press vol+ button to enter recovery mode, it shows me that little android icon with an error sign on it.

adb reboot recovery

fails the same way.

Now if I enter fastboot mode and re-flash my recovery image, it will enter recovery image, but won't boot normally, and instead goes into a boot loop, which doesn't even get to the logo of the ROM.

One extra piece of information: when I try to upgrade the CM, OTA, it fails:

1. It tells me my device is D6653, but the ROM is for D6603, D6633, D6643, z3 (I can circumvent it by adding D6653 to a script in the ROM's zip file)

2. Then it complains that it can't open /misc

Not sure if this is related to my problem though.

To me it seams maybe my partitions overlap or something, that flashing ROM/recovery.img damages the other.

Your help is most appreciated.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Several people have indicated just unchecking superuser and installing the latest 08/10 update is NOT sufficient. They get into boot loops and since the update also restores factory recovery there is currently no way to fix them.

Either do a full unroot and reboot before updating or flash the already updated firmware in the system image thread.

Ironically the Idol 4.7 models DO have a reboot to bootloader in THEIR factory recovery but that doesn't help US at all. Thanks ALCATEL.

How to delete TWRP full and lock bootloader and other stuff?

I need to take my phone to service but it won't be under warrianty if there is any trace of illegal operation.

Can you help me?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] persona78:
If you received ota and have root.

Use any root explorer, seek for update.zip in data ( i can't remember where it is) copy to sd card then to pc.

Open it, delete the default recovery or replace it with TWRP giving it the name of default recovery and aboot.img or you loose fastboot.

You can check the update-script with notepad++ to know the corresponding names for aboot and recovery, i think only aboot have a different name...

Then, now you can update with out loosing anything, only replace your modified update.zip in the corresponding data folder
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] glcvr6:
I don't need it to update. Just to clear all stuff from phone that no one can tell that phone was rooted and all that "illegal" things that affect warrianty. Root checker said that phone doesn't have root now.

Only left to remove TWRP and lock bootloader?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] persona78:
Find the ota update.zip ( is here in forum), open build.pro with notepad++ and change the phone model to your real phone model, example 6045A to 6045Y then update it, it will clean all. The bootloader i don't know, try the same method than unlock but with lock or relock key.
[XDA Assist] A.Robert:
Hi,

I'm trying to build Android 5.0 for the Sony Xperia Z3 (leo) using AOSP sources and the vendor binaries provided by Sony on their Developer World website ('SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_L_MR0_v8'). System, Boot, Recovery, Cache and Userdata images are all built properly and I am able to flash them on an actual device.

However, each time the phone is restarted, the system's Date & Time settings are reset to the default, a fixed day in 1970.

From my past experience with builds for Google Nexus devices, this kind of issue is often caused by outdated or incomplete vendor files.

I attempted to build using the vendor from the software binaries available on the Sony Xperia Github project (sonyxperiadev/device-sony-leo), which is 'v7' I believe, instead of the version available in direct download, with no luck: same issue.

Has anyone encountered and/or solved this issue?

Is there a version of the software binaries I am missing, or do I need to tweak something in the source?

Any help will be appreciated.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
No this will not change the title bar.

It may not be possible to change at all.

Best case scenario it is a string in a resource, and you need to use resource hacker or similar program to change it.

But it could also be hard-coded (though i suppose IDA could help with that).

Same goes for the keyboard icon - it is a resource in the DLL of the specific SIP.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cngfive:
Can you tell me how to change the icon and name please? Can I maybe replace the DLL with the same name?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
The answer to your question is still the same - google "Resource hacker".

but I am beginning to wonder - why are you trying to do this?

No offense, I am not accusing you of anything, but the only reasons that come to mind are trying to pass someone else's program for your own or trying to pass one program (maybe bad) for another.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoHskrs:
(Verizon HTC One M9, S-OFF, bootloader *** UNLOCKED ***, Software status: Official, TWRP recovery installed, Android version 5.0.2, HTC Sense version 7.0 Software number 1.33.605.15)

I'm anticipating a requirement in my near future to turn on "Phone storage encryption (Protect content on this phone with a password)" under Settings -> Security. When I did this under similar circumstances on my HTC One M7, it seemed to adversely affect the performance of the phone. I encountered a lot of random freezes at various points (after entering my unlock PIN, waking up the phone, switching apps, even occasionally during phone calls).

In fairness, I had a lot of stuff on internal storage on my old phone - pictures, audio, etc. - that I now store on my 32GB microSD card on the M9. Nonetheless, the prospect of encrypting my internal storage is intimidating, especially because it's apparently a one-way operation, and there's No Going Back if the phone performance starts to lag as the old phone's did.

Has anyone else experienced any similar troubles after turning on Phone storage encryption? Also, I'm not averse to moving off of the HTC stock ROM; I just haven't done it yet. Is there a particular ROM that seems to perform better -- or worse -- with encrypted internal storage?

Thanks.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bond246:
Good question and I realy would like to join in.

Normaly Google says, since Android 5 Storage encryption should be standard and phones with native Android 5 should have hardware accelerated encryption. But there is no information thats says which phone have this hardware accelerated encryption.

And in addition most phones with native android 5 don't have standard encryption activated.

So is there anyone who tested the M9 with storage ecryption?

encryption disabled dial pad and texting

I have a sprint M9, twrp recovery, rooted, and flashed Viperone ROM.

Everything was working great.

Because of work email needs and the need for Microsoft Exchange, I had to encrypt the phone. So I did.

After encryption, I cannot make outbound calls. I receive calls. Just cannot dial them. Seems like the problem is with the dial pad. Lets me enter the number, but when I hit "call" it just goes away. I cannot type internal phone commands like ##1234## to get information. Just disappears.

Also, I cannot send or receive text messages.

I went into TWRP to revert back to my backup. And of course no backup is there. Everything is encrypted and unreadable by TWRP. I have read a lot on these boards and thank you. I cannot find much written on this subject.

Sprint reports everything is fine and working on their end.

So frustrated. Seems like an easy setting or fix. The dial pad is not reading something from an encrypted file?

Sorry for the ignorant language. I am very new at all this. Any ideas?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DGL2033:
Hi

I know this is late on this thread, but I was wondering if and or how you resolved your dilemma? I'm considering encrypting my HTC m9 on 6.0
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computerslayer:
HTC uses proprietary (non-AOSP) encryption. As a result, TWRP won't be able to decrypt your phone if you have encrypted it on a stock or stock-based ROM.

In theory, TWRP can decrypt when encryption is performed with an AOSP ROM (CyanogenMod, CandySiX, et cetera). Unfortunately, encryption - though functional - doesn't behave as expected even on these ROMs. Your phone will indeed be encrypted successfully, but some ROMs (CyanogenMod) won't re-boot after encryption and other ROMs will boot (CandySiX) but still not be decrypted by TWRP.

TLDR: If you want encryption, go for it but know that you're locked into that choice.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DGL2033:
Hey, thanks for the quick, informative reply. I may just hold off for now, as I'm likely to root after warranty is up. But,FYI, From what I read in the HTC user guide, I could undo the HTC encryption with a factory reset, which I would probably do when they stop updating, and I move to CM or other ROM at that point. I appreciate the advice greatly, as it sounds like personal experience, or you're well informed on the subject, or both.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computerslayer:
My pleasure!

To confirm, yes you can absolutely remove encryption via factory reset.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LQQKS:
On my U11 (Oreo 8.0/currently stuck on ViperU2.1 as nothing else seems to boot) I can't seem to decrypt my device (its lagging a bit due to encryption I believe.)

It won't allow me to decrypt in Settings, nor will it decrypt on a hard reset, nor allow me to change it after a hard reset. And reflashing Viper still has phone encrypted.

Any tips?
