[Infinix HOT 2] c-dude:
Mine lags also and its frustrating. I have 1GB RAM (2GB version isn't available here). I uninstalled/froze a few apps and use Greenify, both of which seem to reduce lag some. I also installed Nova Launcher (free version) from the Play Store, and it significantly increased scrolling speed. Finally, you might want to check these articles:

Touch screen: when I scroll down or up and it hits the middle of screen, it absolutely blacks out: a total black screen. When I continue scrolling past this point right in the middle of the screen, the interface returns. Anyone else have this problem?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user0002:
Has anyone installed self signed ROMs using the method described in this blog http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/31765.html? The goal is to install a self signed image that allows you to only install images signed by a key you generate yourself to avoid the giant security hole caused by custom recoveries that don't check signatures.

Here's the overview :

I have the 8" Tab (SM-T310) and want to try it. Anyone know if there's an official source of stock recovery images? I have the 4.4.2 update.zip from an OTA update I never installed (my tablet's still on stock 4.2.2), can the recovery somehow be extracted from that? Since I'm still on 4.2.2, I don't need to unlock the bootloader, right? Can I use Heimdall to put the new recovery on the tab?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user0002:
Here's my step by step if anyone else is crazy enough to try this.

Skipped so far, running 4.2.2 which from what I've been reading I think isn't locked.

Grabbed the update from Kies (on Windows VM):

Agreed to Kies update when I plugged in the tablet.

Watched my temp folder (from windows search bar enter %temp%) until tmp*.tmp.zipfolder showed up (wait for tmp*.tmp file to download and get converted to a zip, then it unzips into zipfolder automatically), unplugged the tablet immediately as it booted into download mode, copied tmp*.tmp.zipfolder somewhere else (desktop) before Kies cancelled the update process and deleted the temp files.

Source is on github: osm0sis/mkbootimg From here on I'm using linux.

cd into mkbootimg folder and run "make"

run

./unpackbootimg -i recovery.img -o rec

(rec is the folder I unpacked to, make the folder first or it'll segfault)

Saved script (posted below, can't post links yet...) to "make_key.sh", then

chmod +x make_key.sh

to make it executable.

Ran script, usage: /make_key.sh <name> <subject> [<keytype>]

subject must be in the format "/C=GB/ST=London/L=London/O=Global Security/OU=IT Department/CN=example.com" (look up "Create CSR using OpenSSL Without Prompt (Non-Interactive)" for what all that means)

Make a directory, cd into it, run

zcat recovery.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -id

with recovery.img-ramdisk.gz pointing to where your file is (mine was ../recovery.img-ramdisk.gz).

Not sure why he's using a different DumpPublicKey.java than the one that's in the mkbootimg git... but it's in the "libmincrypt/tools/DumpPublicKey.java" that was in the mkbootimg git, I didn't see any differences using diff.

Running

javac DumpPublicKey.java

tells me I need BouncyCastleProvider. And now I'm stuck.

Downloaded the Bouncy Castle jar and put it in the same folder as DumpPublicKey.java and ran

javac -cp bcprov-jdk15on-152.jar DumpPublicKey.java
echo "Main-Class: DumpPublicKey" > manifest.txt
jar cvfm DumpPublicKey.jar manifest.txt DumpPublicKey.java

Then running

java com.android.dumpkey.DumpPublicKey

gave me various class not found errors and I ended up with a file structure like this trying to make it find the bouncy castle. Annnnnd I'm stuck.

.

├── bcprov-jdk15on-152.jar

├── com

│** └── android

│**** └── dumpkey

│****** ├── bcprov-jdk15on-152.jar

│****** ├── DumpPublicKey.class

│****** ├── DumpPublicKey.jar

│****** ├── DumpPublicKey.java

│****** └── manifest.txt

├── DumpPublicKey.class

├── DumpPublicKey.java

└── manifest.txt

I obviously don't know how to java at all.... any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user0002:
I just needed to put the "-cp" in the java command as well as the javac command.

java -cp .:./bcprov-jdk15on-152.jar com.android.dumpkey.DumpPublicKey

The full command is

java -cp .:./bcprov-jdk15on-152.jar com.android.dumpkey.DumpPublicKey /path/to/key.x509.pem > keys

After deleting stuff and testing, I found I only needed files in these locations:

.

├── bcprov-jdk15on-152.jar

├── com

│** └── android

│** └── dumpkey

│** ├── DumpPublicKey.class

│** └── DumpPublicKey.jar

├── DumpPublicKey.java

└── manifest.txt

Then I replaced the "/res/keys" file with the "keys" file I just made.

From the folder that the ramdisk image was extracted into, run

find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../recovery.img-ramdisk.gz

mkbootimg needs offsets that were printed when I ran unpackbootimg:

BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE

BOARD_KERNEL_BASE 10000000

BOARD_NAME

BOARD_PAGE_SIZE 2048

BOARD_KERNEL_OFFSET 00008000

BOARD_RAMDISK_OFFSET 01000000

BOARD_TAGS_OFFSET 00000100

Still in the folder where I unpacked the recovery image (mkbootimg is one directory up)

../mkbootimg --kernel recovery.img-zImage --ramdisk recovery.img-ramdisk.gz --base 10000000 --pagesize 2048 --kernel_offset 00008000 --ramdisk_offset 01000000 --tags_offset 00000100 -o newrecovery.img
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user0002:
This thread says Heimdall 1.4.0 works for T31x: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2522091

Oh how nice, Heimdall 1.4.1 is in my package manager.

Connect device and restart in download mode (held the "HOME" button, "Volume Down" and "Power" all at the same time (for about 5 seconds). Hit the "Volume Up" to enter download mode when prompted.)

sudo heimdall flash --verbose --no-reboot --RECOVERY recovery.img

signapk is on github in android/platform_build/tools. And it gives more bouncy castle errors. Put bcpkix-jdk15on-152.jar and bcprov-jdk15on-152.jar in the signapk folder and run

javac -cp .:./bcprov-jdk15on-152.jar:./bcpkix-jdk15on-152.jar SignApk.java
echo "Main-Class: SignApk" > manifest.txt
jar cvfm SignApk.jar manifest.txt SignApk.java

make directory com/android/signapk/ and move in all the *.class files and the SignApk.jar

java -cp .:./bcprov-jdk15on-152.jar:./bcpkix-jdk15on-152.jar com.android.signapk.SignApk /path/to/key.x509.pem /path/to/key.pk8 ../original.zip ../signed.zip

I just replaced the recovery in the OTA with the recovery with my keys from earlier, then rezipped it before signing. And after starting sideloading I noticed I left the "-w" option off the signing command, so I made another file with "-w".

Sideloaded with:

adb reboot recovery
(then volume down to select apply update from ADB)
adb sideload signed.zip

Then saw:

loading: 'update.zip'

sending: 'update.zip' <completion percent>

(might have to do some adb stopping/starting or adb usb beforehand to make it work, I was getting "error: closed" at first. If it just sits on "loading" something's wrong, as I found out last night when I waited hours for "loading" to turn into something else.)

After the file finished uploading, In terminal I got the response "* failed to write data 'protocol fault (couldn't read status): Success' *"

And on the device I got (for a few seconds before it showed only the sad robot on its back). Then after a couple minutes it rebooted back into recovery.

E: Footer is wrong

E: Footer is wrong

E: Signature verification failed

Installation aborted

So I tried again, but this time selected the option to wipe the cache before adb sideload. Then I tried again, using the update.zip that I forgot to add the "-w" option when signing. So far all fails.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user0002:
I have no idea if the issue is how the recovery was flashed or what, so I'm doing it manual...

adb shell
su
#first backup current recovery
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/recoverybk.img
adb pull /sdcard/recoverybk.img
# now push and dd my signed recovery
adb push /sdcard/recovery.img
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10

And still having the same signature verification issue.

Edit: I went back and unpacked the recovery I pulled off the device (unpackbootimg), and it looks like somehow I managed to run mkbootimg with the old ramdisk image.

New problem with the new recovery: "E:failed to load keys". Maybe it had something to do with using ec keys just for funsies. So I remade the keys with the default, redumped into the ramdisk image, rebuild/reflashed recovery, resigned the update.zip. Now it's back to the "footer is wrong, signature verification failed" error.

But this is still trying to use the OTA 4.4.something update, not a full ROM. What's it do with Cyanogen?

First attempt: Download Cyanogen and sideload it (unmodified)

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Ok, expected behavior, it's not signed with my keys.

Attempt 2: sign Cyanogen with my keys and sideload it

Install from ADB complete!! Success!!

Leaving specifications such as CPU, RAM, and whatnot aside, let's take a look at what exactly you wish you were holding in your hand:

It is essentially a thin rectangle, yet every single device is different. Some are ...

... are small, yet others are big or even huge.

... feature a rounded back, others are flat as a table

... are just half as thick as others or even thinner

So let's say you could cram your favorite features and hardware in every formfactor and device, what would it be?

Personally, I'd go with something at around the 4.5-4.7" range with a properly curved back and an overall thickness that just feels nice to hold onto (~9-10mm)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bendaman619:
I won an HTC One M9 from sprint. My previous phone was a non-triband L720 Samsung S4.

I'm selling the phone to a friend who will be getting Sprint, but can't yet do it because the closest place around is like 60 miles away!

So in the mean time, he got a straight talk card (CDMA&GSM)

I have found two relevant URLs pertaining to unlocking the phone.

Domestic unlock - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2530610

And international - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2415587

Thing is,

A. I'm in good standing with Sprint so I can get it unlocked.

B. Dear god look at those instructions! I can unlock it manually, but dang man! That's scary if I go into a menu and screw things up, or worse, it doesn't unlock and I don't even know which step I messed up on. I've been flashing for years, I'm not a newbie.

I need help with:

A. helping me know which stock from to flash. I came from lollipop.

B. while keeping my recovery if possible. He wants my CM12.1, so I will back it up and then restore it.

C. Do I need to flash any modems/basebands? I'm confused. I have

L720PUGOD2 currently.

So

1. Backup cm12.1

2. flash lollipop stock

3.call Sprint, get UICC unlock

they will domestic unlock it right?

4. Then I can get back to the cm12.1 on my own.

Is that correct? From what I read, CDMA straight talk

So hopefully it's that easy. My buddy want the phone working asap so I would really appreciate an opinion from a pro. Thanks!
