Flash AT&T software to Hong Kong 950XL?

This is the reverse of what most folks want to do, but my call forwarding isn't working yet and I'd like to activate VoLTE on this phone.

I'd like to rebrand this 950XL for AT&T, rather than de-brand it. I bought it from an eBay vendor from Hong Kong as it turned out; I know because it defaults to Simplified Chinese on reset and has a HK telco identifier (000-08) in HKLM\System\Platform. The AT&T SIM works and I can get LTE service, but even after supplying its IEMI to AT&T call forwarding isn't working and Voice over LTE isn't available. So I figured I'll put the firmware for 059X7S5 on it.

My first attempt using the instructions here resulted in thor2 complaining it was the wrong image for this phone; true enough, as the identifier is indeed different. Then I told it to ignore the device ID, which didn't work, and then to ignore the signature, which also didn't work. I've yet to try using the emergency files to put it into some mode that would accept the X7S5 firmware. I can do this if needed; I still have my 830 that I can put my SIM into while working on the 950XL.

Usually folks want to de-brand a phone to unlock it, or re-brand it to support a carrier's specific features. Is this still a thing with the 950XL?

(I reposted this here because the other post was the wrong place. Sorry. I'll delete from there.)

Having just swapped to a new service provider who offers WiFi calling I have the same problem. The phone does not even offer the option to select it, which enabled ones do, so I wondered if you ever solved this?

Is this Smartphone compatible with VOLTE?

I use the German o2 network with a simcard where volte is activated but I don't have any settings to active volte.

Do I need a German o2 branding? Currently there is a Vodafone logo shown during start-up process.

Currently when making a call the network does change for LTE / 4g back to umts / 3g which does take ages.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] handyflo:
Yes it is. I just needed to flash the o2 branded firmware instead of the global version. No I have the ims settings visible and can make HD audio voicecalls

Hey folks I'm looking for a new phone but not too expensive ones.Im thinking Asus zenfone 2 or note 2 or galaxy s4.What do you think of these or do you have any suggestions ?

BTW i9300 is great phone I'm changing this because only and only lack of ram.I tried everything z ram swap file nothing helps.Its sometimes freezing and it makes me crazy.Also if you have any suggestion about ram I would really appreciated :)

[Galaxy S III General] xxgsliemrexx:
I'm thinking 500 dolar max.Also why don't you recommend Samsung :/.What do you think about Asus zenfone 2 ?
[Galaxy S III General] Romflasher69:
With that budget I'd suggest buying a lg g4 or a nexus 5x. Now those devices don't 4gbs of ram but they are certainly beasts and almost lag-free with great performance and decent SoC. I haven't heard much about asus phones but if u check CM's download site, you'll notice that not many asus phones are supported by them which means that if u'd ever want to flash a ROM for whatever reason, then chances are your device won't be supported mainly because of their SoC.

Why no more Samsung? Simply touchwiz, exynos, lack of updates and they usually take too much time to update their firmaware if at all. Also you'd think that a 3gbs top of the line phone would handle multitasking like a beast and that apps would be kept running in the background so when u reopen it'd pick up where you left off without re-loaling the app, but noooo it's Samsung we're talking about here they won't allow such a privilege other OEMs have had since 2012, will they?

Anyway think about the lg g4 or nexus 5x or why not lg v10 ;)
[Galaxy S III General] xxgsliemrexx:
Yeah you kinda right buddy.But as you see there is great roms for Samsung in here . especially for s4.I would really glad if s3 has more ram.Also I'm using Samsung for years and touch wiz pretty familiar to me.Thats why I thought like this.About those phones:sadly they don't sell nexus 5x to my country so I can't buy it.But LG g4 seems pretty great.Why don't you recommend Asus instead of LG even it seems better and cheaper :)I mean I guess I don't have to use ROM if it's that fast and smooth Also thank you for you advices :)

[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] flex360:
I have seen a couple people request this feature. I decided to share the method I use the original method I used to make the navbar dynamic. When I learn how to use github properly I shall reupload my build and start contributing again.

Note that this works with only material applications as it relies on a specific line attribute to pull the color and apply it to the navbar

This method is completely different from Paranoid Android's method which they implemented in kitkat. I have spent hours to figure this method out only to realize it was something so simple

No permission is needed to apply it to your private builds or to simply add it to your own phone of cource

Below are two ways how to implements this; one by decompiling the framework.res.apk and the other way is by editing source code

Implementing by editing source code

Navigate to frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/ and open themes_material.xml

Search for both instances of "navigationBarColor" and change it to the following:

<item name="navigationBarColor">?attr/colorPrimaryDark</item>

save and close and start your build

Implementing by Decompiling frameworks-res.apk

Decompile your framework-res.apk using apktool

Navigate to res/values/ and open styles.xml with notepad++

Search for the instances of "navigationBarColor". There will be 3 instances of it, you only need to skip the first one and change it to the following:

<item name="navigationBarColor">@color/black</item>

to

<item name="navigationBarColor">?colorPrimaryDark</item>

save, recompile and do your thing

Note: I think there is a problem with apktool as it makes the 3 dot menu laggy. So, the source method is recommended.

Enjoy

Alright, what's the trick to this? I have successfully decompiled, edited, recompiled, and pushed framework-res.apk many times over the last 4 hours, but each time I end up in a boot loop.

Interesting thing to note:

The compiled size of my modified framework-res is smaller than the original (15.6mb vs 15.8mb).

I'm using the framework-res.apk from the latest March update.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Face_Plant:
Update: after TONS of research and tinkering, I finally got it working! In case anyone else wants to try this, these are the steps I followed:

1. Decompile with APK Tool 2.0.3

2. Edit styles.xml with notepad++

3. Recompile with APK Tool 2.0.3

4. Sign the APK with the tool at the bottom of the guide in this thread

5. Using 7Zip, open your new APK and delete the META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml and replace them with the ones from your original framework-res.apk

6. Rename (the signing tool renames it)

7. Boot into TWRP and push to device using ADB

Edit- I've noticed a few bugs:

1. When I bring up the power menu it has a funky box within a box look to it like so:

2. Pop-up dialog boxes have a dark grey overlay that covers the whole box so I can't see what it says. I only changed the last 2 as mentioned in this thread.

3. In Google Messenger the nav bar doesn't change to match the contact color. It just stays blue the whole time.

4. Opening the keyboard caused the nav bar to turn black, but that was fixed by going into colors.xml and changing this:

<color name="input_method_navigation_guard">#ff000000</color>

To this:

<color name="input_method_navigation_guard">#00000000</color>

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XinsaX:
Hi there guys, today a friend of mine will bring me my Galaxy Tab S2 that she bought for me. What would be the recomended first charge time for this? I've tried to find that info in Google but no luck at all.

Don't know if the battery effect/memory effect affect this Li-Ion batteries and if I have to leave it charging long after getting the "%100" battery charge or just unplug it right there...
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0cx:
i left mine on to drain it completely, and it took between 4 to 5 hours to charge to 100% while turned off, using the stock Samsung 5V 2A charger.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XinsaX:
Thanks for the post. Finally I got it to %30~40 and left it charging up turned on but with wifi off with the stock charger connected to the wall.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
This is not required or advised with modern batteries and devices.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XinsaX:
Now I have a doubt. I've the original charger and one original charger from a Samsung Galaxy 3 I think.

Tab S2 Charger

Input:

100-240v

Frequency:

50-60Hz 0.35A

Output:

5.0v = 2.0A

Galaxy S3 Charger

Input:

100-240v

Frequency:

50-60Hz 0.15A

Output:

5.0v = 1.0A

According to what I've read, you can use another charger that gives the same or less output but it can't have more. In this case the amperes are less so it will take more time to charge, right?

I'm asking this cause this to know if it's safe to use this other original Samsung charger or not.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0cx:
You can use any charger with it. The Tab S2 only supports up to 2A so it won't take more than that. I tried charging the tablet with my Nexus 6 QC 2.0 charger and it performed the same as the stock 2A Samsung charger. If you use a 1A charger, it will work fine but it will take twice as much to charge.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XinsaX:
As far as I know it's not recommended to use charger with more output voltage than the original. For example I've a Galaxy Note 3 and the Output is 5.3v instead of the 5.0v of the Tab S2 charger. That can cause trouble according to what I've read.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0cx:
There are many things that are not recommended. That doesn't mean they won't work or that can cause damage or problems. It's just a recommendation. Like I said, I have used several different chargers, and they all work just fine, as long as they are 5V/2A. All genuine "Turbo" chargers scale back to the usual 5V/2A if the device doesn't support Turbo charging, which is why the Nexus 6 charger (and any QC 2.0 charger) works with the Tab S2.

If you use a charger and/or cable combination that outputs 500 mA or 1 A, it will display an X in the battery icon in the status bar and it will charge very slowly, or not at all if it's turned on and in use. For example, the micro USB cable that comes with the Google Chromecast has a resistor that caps the power passed thru the cable to less than 5V/1A so that cable won't work, regardless of it being connected to a 5V/2A charger.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XinsaX:
The idea, regardless that if it charges slower than the original, is that the other charger doesn't cause trouble nor damage in the tablet. The Samsung S3 original charger 5V/1A will only charge slow but won't cause trouble, right? The Galaxy Note 3 with 5.3V could cause trouble/damage.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
S2 must be different to the Tab S then as I've been using my chromecast charger and cable and a 700ma Samsung charger for the past 12 months no problem, admittedly usually when it's turned off.

I have no bones about using whatever charger I have to hand as long as it's 5v or thereabouts.

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

You'd be hard pressed to find a charger that outputs it's exact specifications. The circuitry in modern devices can handle these slight differences as it's an expected tolerance.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XinsaX:
Didn't know that modern tablets could handle those differences between 5V to 5.3V. And to be honest and didn't want to take chances so I preferred to ask here.

The good thing is that I've now two chargers in case of need. :P

Thank guys!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0cx:
The Chromecast charger and/or cable will work with the tablet. It will just charge a lot slower, and if the tablet is powered on and being used while charging, it will actually be discharging because the charger won't charge the tablet because it will be draining more power that it's receiving.

The 5.3V or 5.1V it's more or less not important here, as the tablet won't accept a charge higher than that and tolerances, etc... And if we're talking about branded chargers, those are usually good with their specs and can scale down accordingly. Cheap, non-branded ones are usually OK but your mileage may vary.
