What will happen? That's still up in the air, but rest easy knowing it's still easy enough to get a import if need be![/QUOTE]

Yeah, heres the other thing. I am aware I can get the kaiser and use my at&t sim but I doubt I could find the kaiser for $100 or so. I have a contact I send almost 30 customers a year to so I get the supreme hook up. My beef is with AT&T, I think they need to quit being so f_cking retarded and give their loyal customers the device they demand. Unaltered!!!

I am actually surprised they didnt take away the touch screen LOL, bunch of frickin idiots, hey we should all chip in and buy them a new brain. According to my calculations it should take about a dollar to upgrade from their existing :D

Ill throw in the first .02
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] evolution_theory:
AT&T has in the works a video call service.

The iPAQ has offered GPS for a long time.

There is no reason to remove GPS from the 8925 and I seriously doubt this would happen. I COULD see them removing the front camera though.

I think Ive decided to just buy an unlocked HTC instead of getting the Cingular 8925 because this phone will more than likely be nerfed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] weinson:
Note what AT&T is doing to the blackberrry 8800 series ... they have neutered the GPS so that it only works if you sign up for the $10/mo TeleNav services. I can confirm this is not a rumor, having seen some recent 8800 series 8800 series devices in the last week. There should be some way to hack around this if they do the same on the 8925, but I would predict a similar approach ... leave the radio in place, but disable without the consumer spending more $$.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shogunmark:
ok.. let me throw in my 2 cents real quick.....

First off, GPS..

I have been told from a reliable source that it will be crippled through the ATT rom to be used with telenav only... like the 8800 crap.. but im sure that we here can figure something out on making it work otherwise, so im not worried about that...

Phone versions....

I have also heard from the same reliable source that there will be 3 different versions:

8900 - No camera's

8915 - Back 3MP no front camera

8925 - back 3MP camera, and front camera for VideoShare service...

Hope this clears the air for some people... my source is reliable, but things could change....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] warwickwebb:
Hahahahaha

hahahaha...haha...ha....ahem.

Sorry, just looked at the Telenav site to understand what this service is. You get 'unlimited routes' for $10 a month or 10 routes for just $5.99 a month!

Charging per route for a GPS device. Amazing. Why don't they just charge us for each appointment we store in our Pocket PC calendar too?

"Hmmm, I really want to find my way to that new restaurant - but I wonder how many routes I've used this month?"

Ridiculous.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] weinson:
Thanks for the info ... you always seem spot on with your sources... and that configuration would make some marketing sense

Any chance your source has any greater clarity on release dates? I figure I might as well plan on November, since that would be par for the course, but if you have anything more solid, let us know.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] swtaltima:
I can definately deal with this as I use telenav already and have found it to be reliable enough. I am wondering if your "reliable source has an idea on release date? Just curious. Thanks for your input.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shogunmark:
release date is one thing i cant get my hands on... it seems that they always like to change their minds... look at what happened with the 8525... i myself am planning on november, i will probably crack and buy a real kaiser before then..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] iservealot:
This all sounds like pure speculation.

It could be worse - you could be a Verizon customer like I used to be.

AT&T has NOTHING on Verizon when it comes to phone crippling.

Disabling GPS would suck, it makes no sense other than greed.

Removing front camera may be a different story, as I recall hearing that the non-front-camera variant may have a slightly thinner form factor. Given that the phone is going to be targeted towards the business market where any camera can often be problematic, I can easily see AT&T choosing form factor over function in the case of a front-camera-or-not tradeoff if such a tradeoff situation exists.

[Vibrant Android Development] ninbang:
Awesome ROM!! I was gonna skip KK after losing IMEI/APN/BASEBAND in various KK ROM's, but this one's been rock solid. Very stable. LP's notifications UI is great, but the eventual lag kinda spoils it. So, it's nice to have a solid KK ROM to use as a DD fallback. Not being forced to use MTP is a nice bonus. UMS is so much faster & more convenient, imo.

Could you provide a flashable Kernel only .zip (for the kernel used in your rom)?

I've been testing kernels and wanted to cleanly revert back to your default kernel whenever necessary. NeatKernel v1.11 (20140724) yields an impressive 417 MB RAM, but it obviously breaks 720p video playback. Surprisingly, I can still record video (just can't play it back). lyahmanKernel 20150722 (with Bigmem on) simply crashes when taking video. I used Semaphore KK v3.4.3 (20140315) zip contents and replaced the boot.img with yours, but I wasn't exactly sure if the META-INF (updater-script) was cleanly compatible for this ROM. After going back & forth between various kernels, it seems to be ok. Just wanted an "official" kernel zip to use just in case.

Is Stagefright patched in this ROM? IIRC, Coldwindofnowhere's OmniROM 5.1.1 (20151202) is the only recent ROM I've seen that indicates the Android Security Patch Level in settings.

Also, can Halo be completely removed or disabled? The novelty wears off after a while. I have it turned off but keep accidentally hitting the toggle in the notifications pulldown. Just wanted to remove that toggle somehow. Didn't notice anything in settings Halo section. Or, can it be frozen in TB? I'm assuming it's bundled with other system settings.
[Vibrant Android Development] Audiracecar90:
if u need kernel means extract zip and boot.img is the kernel u want
[Vibrant Android Development] althafvly:
Hey. Replace the stock libs. You can play 720p videos

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

The libs are modified for the best. It almost work in all
[Vibrant Android Development] Coldwindofnowhere:
If you want Stagefright patched 4.4.2 rom i guess [MENTION=5881712]althafvly[/MENTION] will need to cherry-pick some commits from cm12.1 (see on cm gerrit ... i think it's possible to do so, even if i'm pretty sure you will get some conflicts) .
[Vibrant Android Development] ninbang:
Which META-INF - updater-script file should I use? I just used Semaphore KK v3.4.3's updater-script, and it seemed to be ok. Just wanted to see what you recommended.

Any particular libs to target for replacement? What libs would I replace them with? Or, can you point me to the discussion thread to read about this?

I was hoping Stagefright would get patched in currently released builds. I like how your omni-5.1.1-20151202 build included the 2015-11-01 Android Security Patch. I just kept losing IMEI/APN/BB after flashing SuperSU-4.26.zip. That was a freaky fast rom (@ 1200 OC), but I just couldn't get past the IMEI issue.

[Vibrant Android Development] ninbang:
[MENTION=6094087]Audiracecar90[/MENTION] - The kernel file in the zip is named boot.img.img. Since the updater-script references boot.img, maybe this was a typo? Was wondering why when I flashed this rom, the kernel would not change. Anyways, just an observation. Thanks again for this great KK rom. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Audiracecar90:
Ya boot.img is kernel mate but i cant understand what you are saying!
[Vibrant Android Development] ninbang:
If you open up the rom .zip, the actual name of the kernel file = "boot.img.img"

Is that extra ".img" supposed to be in the name?
[Vibrant Android Development] Audiracecar90:
Yes normally its name is boot.img
[Vibrant Android Development] Coldwindofnowhere:
I think that [MENTION=7151916]ninbang[/MENTION] wanted to point out that there is a typo in the boot.img filename so it wont flash. See the screenshot.
[Vibrant Android Development] Audiracecar90:
Oh ya thanks bro:D
[Vibrant Android Development] Audiracecar90:
As Coldwindofnowhere said if u want full advance kernel alone take boot.img.img and rename as boot.img:)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExtremeRoGo:
Hi,

Story: I bought F320L for 86$. The bad think was there is no IMEI in it. The seller didn't told me there is no baseband too. I was trying to repair it since 3 months... Finally i found this: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/help/f320k-f320l-f320s-network-problem-t2921626 and it "worked". When I insert the sim card into phone, it can see the network and work with it for 5minutes. But I can't call nobody, recive calls, write sms, check how much money I have got.. Nothing. So when I flashed this baseband, I managed to restore IMEI with EFS Professional. I can restore Imei and ESN, but i can't restore MEID. In phone is IMEI and ESN. When I flashed rom "CloudyStock 2.8" with baseband from [MENTION=270378]Cloudyfa[/MENTION], it didn't worked. When I flashed this bb from [MENTION=2581497]grandixximo[/MENTION], it worked, but like on stock: no calls etc. I was trying many providers like: P4, Plus, Orange (Polish providers). I think it can't be hw problem because phone can connect to network for maybe 5 minutes(and then it loses the network and trying to search). What can I do now?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thierryNoyal:
Hi all,

I'm having a galaxy S GT-i9000 on which SIM card was not recognized anymore a few weeks ago, with no evident reason. It was like if nv_data.bin was corrupted.

I have tried with another SIM card but with no success.

I have tried to reinstall original ROM SFR Vodafone BUJVI but problem was the same.

I have installed Generic ROM I9000XXJVS_CL565837_REV03; Again same problem.

Today the situation is :

*#06# gives no IMEI at all

*#1234# says :

PDA : I9000XXJCVS

PHONE : unknown

CSC : I9000OXAJCVS

There is no nv-data.bin and no nv_data.md5 under /efs (I have no backup, I may have lost my backup during a re-partition).

The are so many threads on xda forum and so many cases that it's quite difficult for me to select the good ones in a way to repair my phone.

Can you give me advice ?

I still have the box of the phone where IMEI is written. Is it possible to download a "generic" nv_data.bin and write IMEI inside with HEXA editor or something like this ?

Do have I to download another ROM ?

Thank you very much

Thierry
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nirdh:
I had faced similar issues earlier, and after some research I found that it is illegal to edit IMEI numbers - and thus not easy to do via software.

When installing any ROM, the system reads IMEI number from the underlying hardware and stores it in some files under /efs tree. When several factory resets didn't solve the problem, I tried flashing a new ROM (obviously wiping out system, cache, and dalvik cache before flashing).

That solved my problem, and I am using Marshmallow Android 6.0.1 for Galaxy S without any issues now! :D

I have installed Google Now launcher on the 5..1.1 firmware, I have root access as well and have pm hid and removed (just rm'ing the process folders from /system/priv-app) most of the bloatware. Whenever I try to hit the "home" button it just brings up a message saying " The requested action is not permitted. Check Parental Controls settings and retry". I also pm hid and attempted to remove com.amazon.parentalcontrols and it hasn't had any effect either.

If I reboot the device it does bring up the Now launcher, but as soon as I go to another application view and try to go "back" or use the home button I get the parental controls message.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pond-life:
Well that's a new one, though have seen people say that now launcher is finicky and to have another launched installed as well.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdeandeck:
I to have ota 5.1.1 with root and have tried to block the stock lauuncher got the same error i tried with 2 diff launchers, i havent tried to install both then disable the stock maybe it will trigger something to do with the default settings. in one of the settings menus for one of the launchers it says something about "set default launcher" and when i select it to set it to new launcher it just opens the stock one. does anyone know if there is a way to change what launcher the home button defaults to, either through adb shell or fastboot someway.

Have you tried su pm hide com.amazon.parentalcontrols

from a adb shell
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pond-life:
How did you try to block it?

Whilst the stock launcher is on and is a system app the Fire OS won't let any other launcher steal default.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdeandeck:
I used adb shell pm hide com.amazon.firelauncher -- adb reboot-- reboots to apex launcher but when i push home i get the error, do i need to actually uninstall it or can i install a rom management app and remove it from system app list and freeze it im trying not to do any of this stuff without confirmation on it working, my wife is worried ill ruin her fire. Do you know how hard is it to flash back to stock firmware from a bricked Fire?

i have flashed devices before roms and recovery so im not a noob but i would just hate to be wrong and try something and not be able to fix it.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pond-life:
Hmm I'm sure that hiding it has worked for others, maybe not on 5.1.1 though, I froze it in titanium backup. Widgets didn't work in Apex until I pushed it to system but it did work as main launcher. As did trebuchet and Nova.

If it's opening when you've hidden it then suggests that it's not hidden maybe needs root shell to do it on 5.1.1 as with hiding the ads and ota
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdeandeck:
it doesnt open but it gives me the parental control error, is it possible to rename the apex application maybe to com.amazon.firelauncher.apk and overwrite the current one, after backing up the original of course, to get rid of the parental error?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pond-life:
Pretty sure that wouldn't work. It'll likely expect Apex to be able to work in ways amazon launcher can but it can't.

If you've got a back up of the original you could try renaming it or just deleting it on the tablet, I don't think hide is working as it should.

Could try the supertool to switch the launcher to nova and then change launcher to Apex after. The tool does delete the amazon launcher, so backed up original handy.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennBr:
Using pm hide com. amazon. firelauncher worked fine for me to disable the Fire launcher but I had to reboot before Google Now tried to launch. Which it did, but then trying to use the home or back buttons brings on the message.

Another weird thing, all the bloat thst I hid the same way deems to have come back overnight somehow. I did disable Ota updates so not sure how that is.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdeandeck:
so if you have perm root than first download and install

http://www.apkdrawer.com/rom-toolbox-pro-apk/

then install the google now launcher and run it and everything get it running then reboot

next through the Rom Toolbox make the Google Now a system app

then "adb shell pm hide com.amazon.launcher" then "adb reboot"

Just incase this factors in i used the script from the super tool, since i run linux and cant run the bat file, as a guide i was trying to get my laucher "adb push Apex-Launcher.apk" & "adb shell "cp /data/local/tmp/--Apex-Launcher.apk--(my preferred laucher) /system/apps/Apex-Launcher.apk" but it would not let me mount file system as RW, so before i tried the above solution, which worked for me, i ran (adb reboot-bootloader) and (fastboot oem append-cmdline "androidboot.unlocked_kernel=true") so you may or may not have to do this before you try to hide the launcher but after you install Rom Toolbox
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pond-life:
Those are both symptoms of the hide command not working fine. It needs to be done in root as jdeandeck did.

If you disable the ota with a hide command too I'd rename the ota files or do that again in root.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pond-life:
Once in terminal the commands are the same from whatever computer you are using aren't they? Doesn't rm need the full directory address as it's not through pm?

The rom toolbox I think he just used to make the Now launcher a system app, so not something you can't do in adb.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennBr:
Yeah they are the same since it's basically a *nix shell, was just showing how I did it. I'm not sure if there's some nuance I'm not aware of thst would make it not work... It seemed like I had all the permissions I needed, and I have root set up persistently as described in the thread I linked to.

The rom toolbox app, how does it boot recoveries if fastboot can't? Sorry I'm so used to desktops, fiddling with Androids goes above my head.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdeandeck:
And the commands are the same but the \ in windows commands are / in linux like android so scripts meant for windows wont work on linux, or that i have found and i cant get .bin to run but never tried to change to .sh and run as shell script but thats for another forum
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pond-life:
It does seem rather a flexible toolkit.

Once you've got permanent root the fastboot bit shouldn't be needed I don't think. Hmmm.

I did clear much of the apps out, though did put Shop Amazon back on as I think something I wanted to use wouldn't work. I can't recall what though.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdeandeck:
I use it to mostly change build.prop and backup apks and terminal emulator other things that i feel comfortable doing nothing like flashing or whatever i only flash from terminal on my linux pc or there is a app for flashing lg phones nothing easier than that.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pond-life:
Ooops I edited that one while you were replying.

Unlike pm doesn't rm need to know where the file or directory is like in this from the supertool?

adb shell "rm /system/priv-app/com.amazon.firelauncher/com.amazon.firelauncher.apk"

so it'd need to know that those directories were in priv-app in system?

And it seems to make a different part writeable than you did, at least I think that's what the chmod does and uses disable rather than hide oh and the " " everywhere.

adb shell su -c "chmod 777 /cache"

adb shell su -c "pm disable com.amazon.otaverifier"

adb shell su -c "pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota"

adb shell su -c "pm disable com.amazon.settings.systemupdates"
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdeandeck:
And the fastboot oem command followed by fastboot reboot, not fastboot continue, lets me adb remount fine then when im done doing whatever i use adb reboot then it will reboot and reconfigure apps and settings or something and works good.
