Unfortunate as flashing a custom rom (be it modified stock or otherwise) would require both root and a custom recovery. One of our members has experience building and porting recoveries, but only to devices they have had on hand
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] bfoos:
My device is rooted, I'm speaking of getting adb root working on the stock recovery which only supports adb sideload. I did manage to get adb shell working, but like I said, if I try and replace the stock adbd binary with an insecure version, the recovery won't pick it up.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] xSpartacusx:
by catch, i mean will it cost us anything to get it? etc. etc. and can i contribute to the developement of my grand prime? of like a stock rom or whatever..?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] pajocos:
yes please!!!!
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] dragonhart6505:
This development is entirely on our own time with our own resources. We will never openly ask for money to make something happen. This is a passion, not a business prospect. We do this because we want to. If you'd like to support to the cause by means of monetary or physical device donations so that we may continue to expand our list of supported devices, we won't say no. It's of your own will to do so
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] xSpartacusx:
i dont have money to send nor a device to give.. would giving you my kernel help in any way to make a stock rom for SM-S920l? or a stock recovery?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] dragonhart6505:
It wouldn't hurt. It would also be useful to have something like a TWRP/CWM backup of ONLY the stock system, kernel, data partitions and stock recovery of as many variants as possible so we can ensure support for specific models where needed, provided you have the means to do so (root and custom recovery obviously). This would require a factory reset of your device or an Odin restore. We don't want or need any personal information you have on your phone. It's absolutely imperative that we get a fresh untouched image of the device. Its kind of a backdoor way of getting the information we need pertaining to each device, but obviously it does require some sort of recovery to get even that far. I can attempt to build from my current personal setup and that would allow feedback from others on the stability of flashing and report any and all issues.

Sound complicated? You have no idea lol
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] dragonhart6505:
I personally don't have much experience in recovery modifications or obtaining such permissions from them but we do have a team member who may. How far his knowledge extends into the subject is beyond me. I just build the roms and do most of the PR stuff on the forums
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] xSpartacusx:
ok um TWRP doesnt support the grand prime,, only the grand prime VE, which is completely different, and the CWM doesnt support the grand prime at all, either variants. i tried downloading odin.. and it wouldnt work (likeit wouldnt install)

but heres my kernel: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pv96mgsp9uqgo27/kernel-from-24-11-2015-4-18.img?dl=0

and STock recovery..: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hmdgsot6x6aybcl/stock recovery.img?dl=0

and if im wrong about the suppot for this device on either of those, please tell me and show me how to get a custom recovery from them...
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] dragonhart6505:
Doesn't support the Grand Prime at all? I've flashed both CWM and TWRP with no issues. I have currently TWRP installed on my device (530T) but I'm not entirely sure it will support your device. It's not my development so no guarantees

Here's the thread I used:

http://xdaforums.com/grand-prime/development/custom-recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0for-lollipop-t3190351

It says only for 530H, I know. But have you tried? I used RASHR from the Play Store to get it on mine. RASHR will also allow you to backup your current recovery in case the flash doesn't take. I recommend doing that first
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] xSpartacusx:
i used rashr to get those two files but i got rom manager by CWM and TWRP manager and both didnt have the normal grand prime in them
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] dragonhart6505:
It won't because its not "officially" supported. But neither is my 530T and I got off just fine. Try to flash the file in RASHR from the thread I linked. If it doesn't take, you've got your backup so no harm no foul
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] xSpartacusx:
ok so i extracted the tar file using 7zip, and moved the img file into my SD card storage. i used flashify and i opened it up and cicked flash and it said successfully flashed.. and i rebooted and the phone works completely fine.. now what?

---------- Post added at 06:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 AM ----------

wait wait wait no, it doesnt.. i did it again and hitreboot, and it says Custom Binary Blocked by reactivation lock.?

---------- Post added at 06:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 AM ----------

help?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] dragonhart6505:
Have you booted into the custom recovery or did you simply reboot the phone back to the system? I ask because Flashify also told me it was successful but in reality did nothing. That's why I suggested RASHR. Flashify is hit or miss in my experience
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] xSpartacusx:
idfk what i did.. i hit chhoose file, selected the img it says successful and i hit the reboot option it gave me, and then that came up... i never rooted a phone before i never de any flashing **** before..

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

it says custom binary blocked by reactivation lock with a big yellow triangle on the screen
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] dragonhart6505:
Try booting into download mode (vol - home and power) then select no (vol -) and should boot you into the OS?
[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hi,

I got a Captiva Pad 9.7 Super Full HD.

It has the Rk3188 Quadcore Processor.

Well, the Stock Rom was too slow, so i decided to install a custom Rom.

I found a cyanogenmod version which was rewritten for captiva pads.

I installed it but since then there is just a Black Screen with backgroundlightening, which means the Tablet

Is still alive.

Is there a way to bring it into original Form with stock Rom, because i dont find a Stock rom for my Device.

Thanks for Your help
[XDA Assist] Saber:
Hi,

Thanks for using XDA assist.

I couldn't find any information on how to bring back stock ROM for your device. However, I would recommend posting in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum as there is no dedicated forum for your device. Please note that in order to post, you will need to create a XDA account. However, based on XDA search, there is no known method to restore stock ROM.

Good Luck! - gsstudios
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casper1:
Have you guys experienced the note 5 is taking very very long time to switch data between SIM. any suggestion how to do this faster?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkMathis:
I ran into a weird problem when trying to get a backup onto my device.

I created that backup today, copied it to my pc for storage, wiped the system and tried to install a custom ROM. That failed so i decieded to just move my backup back to the phone and restore it.

Now the real problem comes in: One of the files is bigger than 4GB and I can't find any way to get that thing back onto the device. ADB just fails miserably and doesn't do anything and direct copying via windows explorer tells me it exceeds the file size limitation which seems pretty dumb to me because this file comes from the phone.

Is there some workaround for a file transfer like this?

Hope you guys can help :(
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
if your device supports otg, you could flash it from there. it would also be easier in the future to backup to otg, then you dont have to move it and worry about possible corruption.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkMathis:
The Problem is resolved. Luckily the file was only needed for a system image backup so i coulld just ignore it and still restore the phone. Now for that stock recovery :P
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timhello:
I would like to backup Whatsapp from my G3 and to restore onto my new v10 (h961n), however I noticed there's no root out there atm and I have no idea how to backup and restore WhatsApp onto the new phone. I need to do this as I use a different phone number on my WhatsApp than my sim card number and I don't have the sim for the WhatsApp number with me.

I normally would use titanium backup but that wouldn't help in this case..... Any ideas?

what launcher you are using and why

I have used many launchers and it seems though some are smaller size wise most use up to the 123mb that TW uses (this includes unread plugins and such) even Trebuchet from CM is using from 99-122mb.

Just wondering if there is a gem hiding that I havent used :D

Favorites

Zeam- too old has issues now

Nova- memory hog

Apex- out of date

Lightning- uses alot of memory

KEEP IT CLEAN AND POLITE. ALL COMMENTS AND OPINIONS ARE WELCOME :good:

Mods if it gets out of hand or if it feels irrelevant feel free to remove post or clean post at will. Thank you in advance for all your hard work

Stuck on GoLauncher... I know it's heavy , but so used to it.. Will move to something simpler soon
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] d12unk13astard:
Nova prime is still the best, it's been regularly updated and has the best customizations. Every launcher is a memory hog, so you might as well choose the best lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] glm0025:
Been using Nova launcher for years now and have never regretted my decision, even after using alternatives like golauncher, apex, trebuchet, etc I would still find myself reinstalling nova. Another reason for my love for it is the constant updates and implementation of new animations each time a new Android version comes out, it is versatile and as surprised as I am to hear people point out is a memory hog this is one issue I have never experienced.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] orvon.freeman:
true would be nice though to have a truly light weight launcher.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] md1008:
Using Mihome launcher
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] steven.rn:
Nova launcher, prime. Worth the donation, and the devs maintain it. I bought ADW a long time ago, but it's growing cobwebs.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] orvon.freeman:
Anybody use the sense 7 launcher and apps?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] trek7000:
Nova

Nova, because of the ability to have a scrollable dock. I have 5 pages (25 icons) there, so I almost never need to use the app drawer.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Ryder55:
I love the tsf 3d launcher and use it with the lines icon pack. Comes with its own weather widget which I love
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Supamike88:
Smart launcher works best for me
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] MrCommunistGen:
I know that I'm inviting hate by saying it, but I'm using the Google Now Launcher on my Galaxy Note 4 N910T. Used Nova religiously my my GS3 and Note 2, then got a Nexus 5 on launch day and got hooked on Google Now. Haven't really tried anything since, though I might revisit the launcher scene if I'm looking to change things up.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Techngro:
I'm still on stock ROM, but using Nova Launcher. I think I misread the poll and voted stock. Sorry. :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] fabricatedhero:
Nova or Apus launcher
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] orvon.freeman:
no hate for the Google now laucher, if you use it as its meant it is pretty sweet and has good functionality. I myself tried out Windows launcher wasn't super impressed that's why I use android lol

Hi

Is there something more powerfull with QVGA 480x640 screen and 256MB ROM from HTC than Universal?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] irus:
htc x7500 :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kdskamal:
WTH?

BTW, I have my eyes on ultimate 7150 and ipaq 210(yeah, no gsm, but, I do have a spare dumb phone to go along with that too). I would suggest you to wait for them and yeah, dont forget the OMNI :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pasan:
TyTN 2 FTW :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rnzk8:
liked the ultimate 7150 also!!! sure have changed their models since they got out of HTC....

but i guess with the ultimate 7150, the xda-developers forum would be of no use anymore... so i guess i would stick with my uni for awhile..... :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] raskell:
TyTn2 AKA Kaiser is only QVGA and 400 MHz (but dual).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] captainsensible2002:
Why????? Its WM6, so just as applicable....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kdskamal:
Its aint HTC made, so support of xda-devs ;)

Hey guys! The O2 flame looks nice too. I m mentioning this as it was not mentioned in this thread before. It has nice processor(520Mhz), nice GPU, 128mb ram, 2GB rom.

With a stowaway BT keyboard+mouse, I have a mini umpc ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pierro78:
The Toshiba g900 has only 128MB Rom but 128MB Ram and WVGA

(and the guys on http://myg900.com/ seem to be pretty happy with the newest rom, too bad it's not user upgradeable ...)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joco1114:
Yeah! Toshiba G900 aka. SoftBank X01T. Great!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pasan:
Well in that case the Athena is not much better than the Uni. However the Kaiser is faster than the Uni, probably because it only has to manage a screen 1/4 the size of that in the Uni. I would gladly give up screen real estate for a faster smoother performing device with better features anyday.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bel57:
Hello there,

So, basically, I made a backup with LG Bridge before updating to Marschmallow.

Now that everything is fine and my device (G4 H815) up to date, I would like to restore some files, settings, apps, etc.

But the software indicate, same if I click on restore or backup, "device not supported".

Come on, what the hell is wrong? :(

Hope some of you guys have the solution. Help required :confused:
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdxda:
Hi,

I just opened the Fire TV 2 box. What am I supposed to do if I want root and kodi? Do I connect it to the internet? Do I need to be concerned about it upgrading? Should I upgrade firmware and then root? I know the original firmwares suck so I want to upgrade right?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
5.0.4 is the newest rootable firmware, if you not running that yet you should wait for the new update or try & force a update in settings? then if you want to root if thats what you want to do i would advice you to read read & read some more before jumping feet first into something your not experianced with or dont know too much about yet. Their are a few types of root as of now - 1. quick root about 3-5 mins from rooted 5.0.3.1-5.0.4 (by Xenoglyph), 2. the best way in my opinion the 2hr root method (by Zeroepoch), 3, & a video guide based on Zeroepoch's method which is gonna be made (updated from the last firmware) by Ultimate Spy Binns hopefully next week at some point.

I personally will wait for Ultimate Spy Binns video tutorial because i rooted with him on the last firmware & his way was so clear & straight to the point, with no hicups ether

(I found this way the quickest & the best for me but there is many different ways to get kodi & firestarter on your Fire Tv 2 Box)

As for kodi the best way to install i think is download an app to your phone called Apps2Fire from the Play Store on a Android phone find the ip address of your Fire Tv (look in Settings), type the ip address into the app in setup, now download Firestarter from here via your phone - https://github.com/sphinx02/FireStarter/releases

, now on your phone open Apps2Fire & in the top right your see the download sign (the one with the arrow pointing up above the line), find the firestarter download select it & press install, when complete now open firestarter from manage devices secton in settings, and press left & find the section saying check for the latest version of Firestarter, if you need to update then update & then press open once finished, then do the same with Kodi (even though you dont have it installed it will find the latest stable version. So now you will have Kodi & Firestarter & if you want you can root now or wait for the video guide?

Hope this helps if so press that thanks button
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PixelBurst:
Hey everyone, I was wondering if it's possible to get the AOSP lockscreen on the LG roms. Most of my problems with it stem from the way notifications and the lockscreen works, all of my notification issues are solved with xposed but the lockscreen is something I just can't get past. The layout and design is just bad and it doesn't even show next alarm time.

I found some threads on the G2 forum about changing things in build.prop, but none of that applies now, at least none I can find that look remotely like anything. I'm willing to put some time and effort into learning and trying things to get this working, I just need to know where to start.

Thanks alot to TheNikiz for a device tree and helping me with some thingies.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] Nikiz:
Did you figure out the codec issues? For example the Facebook video playback?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] itigr:
Yeah, you need to patch frameworks_av like in cm12 to add YcbYCr color format, and add proper media_codecs.xml. Haven't tested facebook tho, but video recording/playing and apps like youtube work. Check out git repo.

Tho that routing still annoys crap outta me, it tries to add route to gateway, but fails, cause gw is in another network, we need to add static route to rmnet0 address instead, i tested adding it manually and it worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] Edwin Hamal:
[MENTION=6100326]itigr[/MENTION] Thanks for the ROM but isn't there any possibility of getting the mobile data thing fixed permanently?

Also,ROM with pretty much everything working with tiltle[Experimental].

weird. [MENTION=5725193]Nikiz[/MENTION] how did you unlock the bootloader of the almost dead Trend 2 or it wasn't locked?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] itigr:
No, at least not now. And i don't want to spend one more week figuring out why it doesn't work, i will probably pause dev for indefinite period 'coz i'm tired of this.

Yep, cause i messed with sources alot :D
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] Nikiz:
Umm, what? The Trend 2 bootloader was never locked. (Well, it shows the invalid signature check, but still allows booting) I think you mixed it up with the Huawei Y5-project I have now. (Got the bootloader unlocked and a custom recovery running on it within 24 hours of owning it.. :D)
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] Edwin Hamal:
[MENTION=6100326]itigr[/MENTION] ok... but...

First of all AOSP sucks(It doesn't even have a file manager)

There's alot more bugs i.e

Wifi does't work (always shows exclamation even though the wifi is working good)

Calls doesn't end(mention about the work around for this too)

Last thing isn't there anyway that I can flash both ROM's by [MENTION=5725193]Nikiz[/MENTION] and you without editing things?

Coz having to switch recovery is really a hard task!
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] Nikiz:
Got the bootloader unlocked by just typing "fastboot oem unlock-go" into the terminal. I just made a minimal device tree for this phone, with the partition information, TWRP settings and the fstab-file. I just built it and I was surprised that it booted on the first try. All I had to do was to fix the fstab-file, change the pixel format and add couple of recovery settings to make it fully working. Building CM12.1 now. (Luckily there was couple of officially supported, similar Huawei devices, so I just copied bunch of code from there.. :D)
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] doesntexits:
Lucky for you that almost all Huawei are Snapdragon.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] Nikiz:
Yeah, this processor is supported by AOSP too, so no patching needs to be done, which is nice. Currently I have only got to the boot animation. ADB doesn't work for some reason. (eng-build and insecure ADB)
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] doesntexits:
Welcome to my world :) Now i'm still stuck at Samsung logo. adb shell works fine but logcat gives me a blinking cursor, ueventd.scx15.rc is included in out/target/vivalto3gvn/root. Idk the reason why it doesn't even gives me a boot animation. Tried stock init but it reboots straight to recovery mode. Now i wish i have a buddy to work with this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] itigr:
Welp aosp still isn't as bad, i used to use it with xposed on my old xperia :D Maybe at some time i will compile cm12.1 or AOSPA (or it's still dead?).

Wifi and calls work, maybe i uploaded an old zip, i was drunk as hell and can't recall it really lol. Reuploading right now, ETA: 40 mins.

Idk how do you want to flash two roms, i've heard it only supported on nexus and still has bugs..
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] Edwin Hamal:
Front camera video recording doesn't work....

Why is this faster than CM12.1?

I wonder why you prefer AOSP over CM though?
[MENTION=6100326]itigr[/MENTION]

Codec issues has gone too.(I guess coz fb videos play now)
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] itigr:
No idea, i just kinda like pure android lol. Dunno how to fix front camera tho. I'm compilling cm12 now and omni 6.0 tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] Edwin Hamal:
Great but CyanogenMod is also stock android isn't it? with added features which stock lacks.

By the way you're compiling CM12 or CM12.1?

Omni?! Guess you're die heart fan of stock Android! Pure Stock Android rather! :D [MENTION=6100326]itigr[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] itigr:
Yeah. CM12.1, i already compiled it and "fixed" mobile data (not really but now you don't have to mess with scripter since workaround is added to boot image). Uploading it now, 50 minutes left. Only thing is left to fix is offline charger but i got no idea how.

Not really :D

The reason i am compiling omni because i already had it downloaded, i would compile cm13.0 but i'm on my 2nd house now and internet here is crappy + i also heard it's not complete yet and compilinig can fail sometimes. It took me around 2 days to download cm12.1 source with a lot of disconnects.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] itigr:
Added cm12.1 and pushed data fix and patches to github.
