[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] great2c4me:
Seems obsoletism is occurring faster & faster.

upon release Feb 14 I upgraded to the galaxy s 5, now regret that move, at&t won't allow custom Rom! It's been getting glitchy, no clean up?! That's why I bought the dam thing... So last week I said f it. I bought the flagship iPhone, 6s plus 64... And again I'm regretting it's typical non functionality . Dam! oh well at least I look cool, right?. I hate the bloat of the quickly outdated Androids, they need to be replaced sooner & sooner.

Anyone tell me if custom Rom Is the way to go, on which device? I'm thinking about ditching my new iPhone 6s plus, but just learned that the nexus 6p has a fuse denying custom Rom to be ran. ? boo!

Another quick question, is there a particular forum that I might be interested in reading?

What does this have to do with the custom ROM called Paranoid Android?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] great2c4me:
I've been reading up once again, so paranoid android is custom Rom? Is it meant for any particular device, or anything goes? (Ask except for the galaxy s5 on the at&t network I presume)

Who is using paranoid android on which device and which is it working the best?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] great2c4me:
Oh, to clarify, I'm looking for a new & best device so far that I can use I the at&t network. I'm now on this new iPhone and I'm having a hard time navigating to find some good reads on relevant information. Which is the best device? And what is paranoid droid, open source for a community of developers?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
Paranoid Android officially only supports nexus devices.

A custom ROM has to be developed specifically for a device, there isn't a universal ROM that you can download to just any device. You need a build made specifically for your device.

If you want advice about a particular device, you need to go to that devices forum section.

If you want advice about general Android usage, visit the general Android forum section.

This forum section is dedicated to the Paranoid Android project.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] great2c4me:
Are you saying that you don't know of an existing forum discussing good better best devices & builds?

In addition, I'm real impresses with galaxy s5 hardware , great camera, processor, expandable memory, good com', terrible that there doesn't seem to be a successful build Fite it on the at&t network

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawtpants:
Long story short, little to no knowledge of phone related stuffs, I had my phone rooted and whatnot. Wanted to increase personalization and features, so I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and tried flashing the CM nightly rom.

But after wiping everything, including the system partition, my Zenfone2 (ZE551ml WW version) simply refuses to flash anything zipped. It gives me the "E: Error executing updater binary in zip 'file name.zip'.

I tried flashing different TWRP images and it works. Can you guys guide me on how to restore my Zenfone 2 to its stock version? Apparently it refuses to flash any zip files, I am trying right now to flash the stock firmware provided by Asus but it gives me some error related to WW version and also the above error...

ADB sideload also doesn't work. Please guys help me, I am kind of desperate.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimchee:
Flash through bootloader, read the thread for changing from CN to WW, it will give you complete instructions for flashing

Hello all,

I've been browsing around and looking at PDAs for sometime now yet I've seen everything I want but not in one device.

I am looking for a PDA/Phone (WM6 support please) with integrated GPS, wifi and Bluetooth. My other aim is to be able to use my PDA as a mp3/video player. I have been looking at the p3300 for sometime now yet there has been no developments with SDHC which I assumed would come once WM6 ROM had been released by HTC. Can someone please shed a little bit of light on the difference between microSD and minisd? I see the HTC touch supports 6gb high capcity miniSD. I've not decided about wanting a QWERTY keyboard yet, I was originally put off but the added weight and thickness - yet tonight I am drawn to it!

Many thanks

JC

I'm trying to encrypt my phone. I rebooted into safe mode and I have the stock recovery installed. I entered my pin to restar and encrpyt and it just stays at the blue Motorola logo. Any way I can get this working?

I need the device encrypted.

Edit: I did finally manage to get it working by clearing dalvik and cache then going into a terminal emulator and doing the following:

1) su

2) pkill -KILL daemonsu

Then the encryption worked but it did hang at the M logo for a bit before showing the encryption screen already at 53%

I'm not sure if the cache clearing mattered or not, but now I'm encrypted and rooted :)

I purchased an unlocked LG G4. While I was hoping for European, I got SEA instead. I've got it rooted.

We're thinking of switching from AT&T to T-Mobile. Since they do support the LG G4 WiFi calling on T-Mobile, can I enable it somehow? I got a T-Mobile SIM (active) and it doesn't show up in any of the menus.

Thoughts or help?

Are you running this? Is it stable?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ichiai:
Yes I am. I have been running it for the past two hours. Others in the lenovo forum have been on it for more than a day or two. General feeling it is good.

Projector works fine, it seems like it is a pure android experience with their bloatware, most of it uninstallable.

I installed it as a ota update. It took some time but no errors or anything problematic. None of my installed apps or files were deleted.

With the KitKat version Firefox would crash and auto rotate function had major flaws.

I still have to see if Firefox crashes and if certain addons are available now.

I use rotate app by Fame It to solve my rotating issues. Since it remained after the update I will most likely not uninstall it.

Keyboard is google keyboard which is nicer.

The quick menu from the bottom drawer is no longer there, slightly sad but I don't care.

Everything seems faster too.

I will post updates if I notice anything strange.

[Lenovo Yoga Tab 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ichiai:

I wish there was Android development for this. I know this would be a killer tablet if it we could flash asop ROMs like cyanogen or dirty unicorns. I would install black Gapps and my world would be close to perfection.

[Lenovo Yoga Tab 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ionioni:
copy/paste from another (mine) post in official lenovo forums

to remember: if you have NO REGION configured when you do the Lollipop OTA update it will FAIL at the end and your tab will have errand behavior after the update (fails to boot, EFI shell, BIOS screen only, stuff like that) so remember to CHECK that you have a region configured BEFORE updating to Lollipop and if you don't have then set one. you most likely don't have one if you flashed back the stock kitkat rom at some point and didn't configuret one after.

check region: input in contacts the code ####59930# it should show a (your) region, if it shows Unknown you need to set a region

set (or modify) region: input in contacts the code ####6020# then chose your region, it will reboot and update (deleting your user data too so backup if required) after rebootyou can check region again and take the OTA

thanks for sharing. ive been banned from lenovo forrums for three days. anyway, have you produced any roms for 1380F?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ionioni:
i'm happy with my android+linux combo, the extra a custom rom could bring is not worth the effort and i already have that extra plus more in linux. also the ui/bloatware can be easily tweaked to one's needs by removing the unwanted apk

so the short answer is no (at least for now)
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ichiai:
Damn that's pro == "that extra plus more in Linux" ==

:: I just unpacked the zip and feel too n00b. Could I hardbrick if I delete an apk that I'm not supposed to delete? I have a feeling the answer is yes.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ionioni:
you install your rom or your ota and only afterwards you modify your os. from within a shell use pm command to first disable/block unwanted apps for testing first (so you can pm enable/unblock them if you do something wrong) and if ok you can pm uninstall them. be carefule as the tool will allow you to basically disable any app (system ones included) so you should pay attention, start with the more easier ones (for eg among others i disabled com.lenovo.videoplayer as i instaled mxplayer, com.lenovo.email i don't need it i have gmail app etc)

google for "Android package manager pm" for more info on what is and how to use the tool. root required ofcourse.

[Lenovo Yoga Tab 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ionioni:
this is from a pm i had with an 1380F owner. moral of the story ALWAYS UN-ROOT before you take an update

yes, as you said, the problem is that you should NEVER take an update AFTER you root. the rooting process modifies your system partition files and this is a problem because an update process will patch or replace files (and since Android 5.0 Google recomends the patch to be made against the whole system partition as a block patch, but it's not the YT2 case as they still use file patches), so if the files are modified by rooting, and they are, your update will fail and some of the files will be patched while others will not be and this will bring unexpected results: from minor ones to a complete hang.

so if you take an update always UNROOT before you take-it and reroot AFTER the update. that's no longer your case because you already screwed the system partition files, and the easiest way is to flash a stock rom (which ofcourse includes your system partition files among others) and this way you will restore the device.

but the problem (in your case) is that the stock rom you flash MUST match the bios version (KitKat rom matches an IA32 bios, while Lollipop matches an x64 one) and YOU HAVE after the Lollipop upgrade a Lollipop bios (x64) and you cannot just try to flash (as you did) a KitKat rom as this will fail (the files from your stock kitkat involved in the flashing process will fail to load because the bios is a x64 one and it wont accept files made for the IA32 architecture)

you have two solutions:

1. flash a stock Lollipop rom (but this is not yet made available by Lenovo, in general takes one or two months since the OTA before they release a complete updated rom)

2. return to KitKat bios and only AFTER you have downgraded the bios try and flash the kitkat (and after ofcourse you can re-take the Lollipop OTA). in this case again be careful, the one solution publicly available for returning to kitkat bios form lollipop is a 830/1050F and NOT a 1380F one (and i think noboy has tried yet a complete kitkat return). also be careful because the bios is not your mmc or sdcard drive, if you wrongly write it (with for wxample an incompatible version) you will HARD BRICK (and you will have no other solution but to send your tab to lenovo for fixing, it will be completely dead, no longer starting no lights nothing!)

sure thing a solution must exist for a 1380f Lollipop bricked, but it takes some time (a few things to test again)...

64-Bit support

Hi everyone

I have a question. This Tablet features the Intel Atom Z3745 64-Bit Processor and with this Lollipop-update i hoped to get 64-Bit potential finally.

I looked into CPU-Z and there it says "Architecture: 32-Bit" and ANTUTU means "Android: 5.0.1 (32-Bit)"...

I thought Android 5 is 64-Bit capable? Is there anything to configure? Has anyone a clue? :confused:

I'm very happy with the update and everything runs smother now. I was just wondering about that...

Thanks! :D
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
1. don't trust so much those apps from PlayStore (or better get a working one Aida-64)

2. a 64 bit processor (like the one on your tab) can execute 32 bit binaries too

3. your Android (while Lollipop) was build with a x86_64 kernel (capable of both x64 and IA32 binaries) yet the binaries/libs composing the OS were compiled as IA32 (maybe because it was easier for Lenovo, or faster, who knows why and either way it doesn't matter).

4. against the popular belief: there is no (visible) performance penalty on running IA32 binaries on a 64 bit processor and the opposite is also true: you have no gain (on a consumer device, ie not an some enterprise server) with running 64 bit binaries instead of IA32 ones (i would say in some situation is the opposite). the cpu will run your code at the same frequency, regardless whether is 64 or 32 (and 64 is an extension set to the original 32 one)

search benchmarks on internet and you will get proofs too... all in all same crap, marketing policy, i even seen one advertising that being 64 it will run twice as fast, move along...

oh boy

[Lenovo Yoga Tab 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] subworx:
Thank you for the hint.

I love how fast the tablet seemed with 5.0, but lack of Xposed was a show stopper so I downgraded using http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62237380&postcount=4 .

Will take a backup now, install 5.0, test Xposed v78 and report back.

Easiest way to fix the boot loop:

Remove the external SD, put xposed-uninstaller-20150831-x86.zip on SD.

Insert SD, start tablet, leave it running.

After a while, start IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015, it should show the tablet as online. Use option T4.

Install the uninstaller zip through recovery.

Reboot.

You're good :)

I solved this problem doing this:

1° - Factory reset.

2° - The problem is there a incompatibility between the sound driver and Google app. ""DON'T turn on google voice in any screen" . If you just do that, uninstall updates from google software and everthing will works again.
