[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tewoshien:
Hi

Every time i start up my Sony Xperia U ST25i "smart"Phone,

i'm confronted with the fact that i have to swipe the lock-looking button to the speaker-button,

in order to use my so called smartphone.

I have no password or pin set, so i should be able to go straight to the home screen.

But that swipe lock is a real pain in the ass.

Every time the screen time out takes effect, and i push the upper button

right from the phone to go back to the home screen,

my home screen is locked, and i have to swipe to unlock my home screen.

This would be a useful feature if i had set a password or PIN,

but not when there is no password or PIN.

It's getting really annoying to have to swipe that icon to the right, for no reason at all,

every time i want access my home screen.

Is there any way to remove this annoying option from the phone,

so i can use my phone like i want to and without the swipe lock stress.

Because i can not find an option to upload an attachment,

I have set my account Profile Picture as the example,

and marked the swipe lock area with a yellow rectangle,

so you'll know what i mean with the swipe lock.

Model Number : ST25i

Android version : 2.3.7

Kernel version : 2.6.35.7+

Build number : 6.0.B.3.188

Tewoshien

ps: no profile picture is set, if i can not upload an attachment, i can not show what i mean !

I tried to google, but cannot figure out the answer. Please help. Thanks!

It is a sprint x1526 with LTE. Installed cm12.1 20150927 build 54.

Q1: Wifi cannot get IP.

Q2: the carrier network is set to boost, and there is no data since my network requires sprint. I need to switch to sprint to get data/LTE. I can make calls.

Thanks in advance.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shyang339:
I have tried the new build 57 and have the same issues.

For the carrier change from boost to sprint, there was a suggestion on another thread about modifying eri.xml, but I have not figured out the location of file eri.xml. Any hint is appreciated. Thanks!
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sands207:
The eri file is in /system/etc and for boost variants it is in system/etc/boost. You may want to backup your apns in your stock ROM and restore them in your current ROM. I am using Virgin and I am really close to getting LTE working but some work will need to be done on the developer end to add CDMA support for boost,sprint and virgin.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlapplegate:
WIFI Cannot get IP (XT1524 Build cm12.1 20150927)

Great ROM but no WiFi IP, but trying to get it with no resulting IP :confused:

ROM cm-12.1-20150929-UNOFFICIAL-surnia-57

How can this be fixed?

Thx.

FIX: upgraded to latest kernel: squid_kernel_r10b-surnia :)
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydroman202:
About modifying carrier label, here is how: open the eri file in system etc data, change where it says boost mobile near the top, to Sprint. Near the bottom, there is a line that says sprint, change it to Boost Mobile. Do the same to the eri file under the boost folder.

[Blu Pure XL] SocksNUrToaster:
Anyone notice this did not show up on Amazon today as promised?
[Blu Pure XL] clipcarl:
Covered already in this thread. I know it's easy to miss when there are so many threads and posts in this sub-forum!
[Blu Pure XL] xTremePower:
Normal,, the thread title and subject are absolutely not about the release date ....
[Blu Pure XL] cma1032:
I emailed them and this was their reply:

"Unfortunately the release for this device has been delayed a little. It should be released within the following weeks. We apologize for the long wait and appreciate your patience."
[Blu Pure XL] babsk:
Within the following weeks is extremely vague a timeframe. It could mean 2 weeks from now, 3 weeks from now, or next week. Which one? I'm certainly not banking on next week of course. Dual SIM with good specs at good price point is why I'm still with it, disappointed and all.Still nervous about software updates considering the company's reputation.
[Blu Pure XL] Rudolpht:
Maybe they are waiting for a Marshmallow release. Tgat would hedge the lack of updates issue for a year or so, but I think the odds are slim to none
[Blu Pure XL] babsk:
I would love it if Marshmallow were the real reason, eh? I surely don't bet on it. There have been two other things cited-something about software and something about the quick chargers. So who really knows why. When it comes to updates, one thing that also counts is bugs and fixes, staying on top of things like that. Asus is decent with that with their Zenfone. In the short time I had mine, I had regular firmware updates.
[Blu Pure XL] Matty77:
I think I'll be still getting this phone. The bang/buck is just too big to ignore.

Even if I keep it stock, I think I'll be happy.

I'd like to still use Android Pay, and I don't think anyone's found a way to use it w/ a custom ROM (I could be wrong, but I haven't seen it).

I highly doubt they're holding out for Marshmallow, that's another 3-5mos of work in all reality...
[Blu Pure XL] DannyHammons:
Pure XL release delay

Blu posted on their Facebook page last week that the phones are ready to ship, but that they are waiting on the phone chargers from their vendor. Also state they'll post a release date update this week.
[Blu Pure XL] Matty77:
I don't want to spend another $300 on top of this phone, but that new Windows XL phone w/ Continuum is spiffy!

1st time I thought I would want a Windows phone too...
[Blu Pure XL] DrBrick:
same and then I remember how buggy my wife's 1020 was. i actually like the OS but the apps have been subpar. gotta have those gapps.
[Blu Pure XL] badrsj:
True that

Windows echo system and applications will just never catch up. Example black berry.
[Blu Pure XL] babsk:
Agreed. I switched to Windows for a little while just to test it out and while I mostly liked it, I still ultimately prefer Android. My credit union doesn't have a Windows app and the mobile browser in my Windows phone didn't work correctly on their site so I couldn't do my banking so there were some quirks. Things like that but it still was mostly a decent phone that I might still use as my second line for the time being until I can get a good dual SIM phone.I'm using a not all that great but so so Alcatel go phone right now along with my trusty Note 3.
[Blu Pure XL] DrBrick:
there is a page on Amazon now: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01612PVV8/ref=ya_st_dp_summary

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

Some people on Twitter say they ordered even though the page says temporarily out of stock. we'll see what happens. . . i'm going to wait for now.
[Blu Pure XL] babsk:
How can it be out of stock when it was never in stock? I'm holding off anyway because of an LTE concern that I brought up in another thread. I also would opt to wait until they came in stock anyway. And then if I saw that the LTE band that is missing is confirmed as not one near my house, I don't know, I MIGHT still consider this phone. I was looking forward to it delay and all until I read a review that it is missing support for an LTE band. (on both AT&T and T-Mobile for that matter. I'm on AT&T) I mean, I want proper coverage if I'm outlaying the $$$$. So then again, maybe I still would bypass it as I expect full LTE if it is being promoted as such. Will have to see how that unfolds.
[Blu Pure XL] FuMMoD:
I might get this as a backup phone. If anything I'll return it if I don't like it. Amazon is the best when it comes to stuff like that.
[Blu Pure XL] babsk:
I already figure that I'd least get phone reception just fine, (my 4G backup Alcatel go phone on second line is serving that purpose currently just fine and isn't LTE of course) whereas on the Zenfone2 because of the second SIM only being 2G, that part did in fact make a difference and I couldn't even use the second SIM for calls. This is why I'm being fussy. I'm sure the Pure XL will give strong phone coverage so I'd probably be okay there, but I do still hold to wanting my full LTE access and I want to see if this gets addressed. I mean, I want LTE for data usage when I'm in non WIFI areas. First though this phone has to actually be out in actual use so we can find out already!
[Blu Pure XL] babsk:
I put my pre-order in anyway as I have been running tests on LTE bands in my area assessing the concern I have with not having Band 5 for it, and my area doesn't seem to use Band 5 anyway, so I'm willing to take the gamble. No idea though of a shipping date.
[Blu Pure XL] babsk:
People's phones are being shipped now of course and some have them now. Mine is now due for delivery Thursday 10/22. Gold is currently in stock. Grey is available for pre-order. No word yet on the black one.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] mouridis:
Mi4c is becoming increasingly popular among western consumer audience due to it's spec differences with it's international brother, the Mi4i.

But the problem is that there are no Google Apps included in the device.

In the past, there was the Google Installer app to install GApps in MIUI. That method became obsolete and removed from Xiaomi App Store. You can find the app elsewhere but AFAIK it doesn't work as expected.

So, my question is, does anybody know a proper way to install GApps in Mi4c?

I have downloaded the latest pico package of GApps and tried to install through Mi-Recovery but of course, it says that there is signature mismatch.

I would appreciate any help.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Doudouche:
I used the Google Installer APK on the Mi4C and it worked well. Just don't hesitate to close and open again the app if nothing appears. And after the installation of Google Play you should restart the phone to avoid "force close" problem on the app.

Find it here : h t t p://en.miui.com/thread-3998-1-1.html

Sorry, too "young" to post a link.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] kelkelkel:
The store installed several APKs for me at the point of purchase. Works fine for me so far, you may wish to try them, attached below.

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] schaap23:
You can also flash the international ROM from xiaomi.eu . This ROM contains many additional languages, gapp store, agps settings for the west, Chinese bloat apps are removed etc cetera. If you don't live in China its really worth a try.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] kelkelkel:
as of today, no mi4c rom from xiaomi.eu yet

http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/rom-mi4c-eu.28594/
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] schaap23:
It got released today. Here is the link to the thread xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-10-8.28692

I've already used this ROM for my xiaomi mi2. I like the ROM. Its fast, customizable and looks good.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] kelkelkel:
thx a million for pointing to right link ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] keatbo:
You guys can check it here

For MI4c device

Must select ARM64 and version 5.1, then choose the GAPPs package that you need.

Download and flash it. It works on my MIUI stable rom.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] mishuno:
Hello - When you say "flash it" what do you mean?

I downloaded a package from the site and want to install it on a Mi4c. How do I do this? Can you please give me instructions. I could not find any instructions on the site you linked to.

Thanks for any help!
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] yasje:
The eu rom is in! yeah!

Can anyone help me how to install the eu rom for 4c?

i just received my phone today and want the weekly realease rom for install.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] keatbo:
Step 1. To do this you need a phone with custom recovery like TWRP. Don’t use the stock recovery to flash the Gapps.

Go here for step by step to flash the custom recovery http://xdaforums.com/mi-4c/help/how-to-flash-custom-recovery-t3226780

Step 2. Download Gapps zip file from here http://opengapps.org/

Step 3. Now move the Gapps Zip file on your phone internal memory.

Step 4. Boot your phone to enter recovery mode by holding POWER + VOLUME UP key.

Step 5. Once you are in the TWRP main screen, press Install -> Gapps Zip file

The flashing process will take some time.

Step 6. Wipe Cache & Dalvik.

Step 7. Once completed, Reboot system.

Note: After reboot system for the boot up, it will take sometime to startup as it need to reload all the apps on your device. Please be patient and your Gapps are ready.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] wabbisabbi:
Sadly and weird enough, it says that the device is incompatible. I'm on 5.1.1 (MIUI 7 v5.11.5).

L.E. I tried with the ones from http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=166720&page= (v5.1.x) and they did install, but there are a lot of FC, playstore not working, nothing is really working and I did wipe dalvik and cache prior to boot to system from gapps installation.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] ermacwins:
Do not flash gapps on miui from xiaomi.eu as you'll only get fc
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] keatbo:
I not sure it works on the ROM that you are using currently.

I'm updated my stable ROM today to MIUI 7.0 Stable ROM (7.0.15.0) as I attached the screenshot about my phone.

View attachment 3541119

After updated, I reflash the TWRP recovery, rooted the phone and flash the PICO Gapps at the same time. And then clear the caches and reboot.

Once boot up, it will have fc of Google Partner Setup about 2-3 times. Then after that everything works fine for me already.

View attachment 3541139

I'll be flashing CM12.1 to my phone tonight, as the ROM improved a lot and have very much positive comments from others too. Hope above info helps you. ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] wabbisabbi:
It didn't work for my phone, because after a flash install i lost the twrp recovery.

And I was the impression that those CN... ROMs are chinese language only Oo. Otherwise why do all people flash the EN Miui ones, which are known to be way more buggy? There isn't anywhere told that stable chinese versions do are multilanguage, on the contrary. I'm literally shocked.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] keatbo:
After a flash install, lost the twrp recovery.

I believe this is because you did not flash the SuperSU to root the device.

For the Miui stable ROM, it has English and Chinese 2 languages only. You can select English in stable ROM as I did.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] wabbisabbi:
Thank you, really!

Does this stable version exhibit the same download cap on play store downloads (500 kbit/s) as the other ROMs?

it works for me to, but just select the micro one, i download the stock at the first and got error 70 (insufficient space )when flashing. i am using developer rom :D
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] d4fuQQ:
has anyone been successful in applying the gapps aroma pacakge?

what i did has been unsuccessful (1. installing sMIUI; 2. wipe dalvik/cache; 3. install aroma [custom]; 4. restart -> nothing)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Kéno40:
sMIUI has google play inside.

Why do you want to use aroma?

Fklash sMIUI twice et see if at reboot, there is the sMIUI bootlogo.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] d4fuQQ:
yes, i got several applications ready through the play store (e.g. google launcher). however, i was not able to get the google dialer+contacts running. do you have any ideas on that?

Hi, I waned to a provide this solution for Boost Mobile customers. I'm an agent and had a client with this same issue. It might apply to other carriers, but I am not certain.

If you factory reset your Boost Mobile LG Stylo, and you are stuck in the Google account verification screen, then you must swap your device.

Go to BoostMobile.com and click "My account"

Login and go to update handset.

On your old phone look for the IMEI number and enter it into the site. Proceed through all the steps.

Once you finished. Restart your Stylo. You should now be able to log in..

Reenter your Stylo's IMEi into the site to reactivate it again.

The verification loop is due to an IMEI issue.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toviaheli:
So, I'm not really a Noob, just really out of practice and trying to install a custom ROM on my wife's Sprint s5 sm-g900p.

Here's what happened:

1) I rooted the phone

2) Installed TWRP

3) Made sure everything worked fine

4) Downloaded a custom ROM and placed on the External SD Card

5) Booted into TWRP and did an advanced Wipe

6) Made the Noob mistake of also wiping the External SD Card (oops)

So...

7) I downloaded [ROM][ODIN]SM-G900P NE5 (NE5 Modem/Kernel/Bootloader/ROM - Full Restore - Unrooted) from here: http://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/development/rom-sm-g900p-ne5-ne5-modem-kernel-t2805319

8) I followed the instructions and began the firmware re-installation after pulling the battery for 10 seconds and booting into Download mode..

9) Odin response: FAIL!

Question:

Anyone have any idea how I can put another ROM on this phone to make it usable again?

Thanks

Where is the difference to the legolas version?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 7 mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
The main difference would be that this is not an All-F2FS ROM but uses back-ported parts of LP to support F2FS and/or EXT4 as you desire on data/cache. It also has a lot of updates from the latest CM-11 well after development on SlimKat stopped (newer F2FS version for one but there a many other repo updates and backports from LP without sacrificing speed or KitKat user experience).
[Nexus 7 Original Development] decky006:
Runs snappy and without lags unlike any of the lollipop builds around.

Battery life looks good also so far.

Using it with ext4, no need for f2fs partitions.

Thanks for the good ROM.

Tried it after many troubles with any Lollipop ROM with any filesystem and finally the tablet is usable.

Battery life seems very good too. Standby of ~20h with WiFi turned on = 7% of the battery.

I've installed Facebook and Chrome and still the tablet works as expected even during update of some apps.

I really don't understand why Google updated it to Lollipop.
