It's for both locked and unlocked bootloaders, I'm "guessing" it doesn't make you lose DRM keys as you lose your DRM keys by unlocking your bootloader. Still, I won't take any responsibility if you do lose your DRM keys, nor will she. Also this thread is for UB so I'm guessing you already unlocked your bootloader, you can always flash DRM restoration zip after following the steps I wrote.

Hi, I wanted to update the concept by doing all the steps from the beginning,but when flashing the Rom, it says the pc doesn't have the drivers. There are new drivers for the concept? (I'm in Windows 7) Never happen before, so maybe is because of the concept rom. Thanks for the support!

EDIT: SOLVED!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] baxxter106:
i used the fast method to update.

i took the 3606 ftf

flashed with flashtool

relocked bl

Boot up and made Updates - now 3633

unlocked bl

flashed twrp back

in twrp flashed supersu, drm and xposed

started phone

done...very simple and good!!!

is there a possibility to get this without a pc? guess not...

PS: for all this I use always Linux...

Sent from my D5803
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fab_ben:
Okay, so rather by accident I discovered that you don't even need to relock and reunlock the bootloader using the "fast-method"

What I mean is, that I flashed firmware 3606 via flashtool and simply forgot to relock my BL. Which I discovered

after

I installed two updates.

After that I flashed TWRP again and then DRM-functions, Super-SU and xposed.

Just wanted to let you all know...

cheers.

Download the attached zip from: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60832490&postcount=6 and extract the .pit file.

Put your device in download mode and connect it to PC.

Start Odin, check "Re-Partition" option at the left and select the .pit file using the "PIT" button at the right.

Hit "Start" and follow the "Message" logging section.

Please post an update here afterwards.

If the PIT flashing proccess fails, it probably means you have SDS, and the solution will be to replace the eMMC chip.

Good luck.

[Samsung Gear 2] gcodori:
I just got a brand new Gear 2 from my wife who upgraded to the Gear S2.

I know that development is lite in terms of this device, but I'm wondering what everyone uses in terms of a rom - Tizenmod 3 or Wear.

Is there a checklist of all the things that work/don't work on Wear? Will the pedometer and HR monitor work? I know that camera and speaker won't.

I use the fitness apps mostly, plus watch. Don't really use the watch camera, don't use it for calls and don't listen to music on it.

Would Wear be a good choice? I understand that software suggestions are ultimately left to the user - just looking for some pros/cons here.

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear 2] jasonkhoo87:
I using Tizenmod 3 before on my gear 2. Found out it same as original Tizen except some mod added.

I hate Tizen because when I installed watch face more than 30 then I will get force close issue on my phone and my gear 2 no longer able to connect with phone.

Giving up then I try Android Wear, basically what I found out huge different between Tizen and Android Wear is battery and apps support. I happy with Android Wear now.

What I can say is battery life in Android Wear is short. Roughly 20 hours with heavy use. If u can accept this then why not give it try.

U will find out market apps support more than Tizen. . More fitness apps support with continously heart rate measuring.

As u said, camera and call feature won't work on Android Wear.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dork997:
Goodday folks, So i have a 910F running stock android 5.0.2 i recently noticed that sometimes my battery charges really slow from 90% till 100% to measure charging current i download an app called battery monitor by 3c. The current seems to be normal however i noticed another weird issue that my phone continues to draw some power from charger even when the battery indicator is full with green led (the draw seems to be going down around 100ma when i took it off) . Im using stock fast charger and cable can anyone else confirm if this is normal or if i have a defective unit? Attaching a picture for reference. Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedicemaster:
it will draw power to keep the battery at 100%

and it's normal for the charging rate to go down a bit when almost full.

a battery produces more heat while charging when it's almost full, so they need to slow down the charging to reduce the heat production.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bl4ckH4nd:
Hello,

I've been using these forums for years to root all my devices so thanks to all for the hard work.

I just want to know how I can root my Xperia Tablet Z SGP321. It's currently on Lollipop 5.0.2 (10.6.a.0.454).

I've looked everywhere and I can't find anything to simply root it, all I can find is for previous firmware and for other models.

Can someone please send me a link? My bootloader is is currently locked but an unlock is allowed so I can do that if required (did it with my Z2 and my Z3 so I know how).

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you :o

Strange that you found nothing.

This firmware can be rooted with rootkitXperia | KingRoot or Vroot apps. I recommend the first one, as two other are chinese.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bl4ckH4nd:
Thank you so much, I'll give this a go tomorrow.

I've never rooted a tablet before, only phones so I just wanted to make 100% sure about the build and stuff.

Just one more thing, the page says it's for 5.0, will it be ok on 5.0.2 or does the 0.2 not matter?

Edit: Ok, so I ran the rootkit and everything succeeded but now it still says there is no root access when I use Root Check and I can't run SuperSU as there is apparently no binary installed for it.

Any idea what the problem might be?

Edit 2: Ok nevermind, I finally managed to get it sorted. I followed the guide located here http://xdaforums.com/xperia-tablet-z/general/guide-how-to-root-xperia-tablet-z-lp-5-t3253178 and all is well.

but i will say go for honor 7(perfect)

zenfone 2 is pure performance even on top of many apps running parallel it is something u wont complain about

Anyways wat is ur main requirement i will suggest u one according to that

Dont go for huawei if u want performance go for it f u want looks,camera and ios like ui its not at all near zf2 in terms of performance

Btw, camera is not that bad in zenfone 2 it is like using a old 2014 device(note3) but vide is like between a 2013-2014 device(s4) i compared them personally in indoor setting , outdoor is better

I hope you get the point , sorry for bad English

Some have had no issues but if you google the phone you'll see it has had many issues. I really wish I had not even bought it now and gone for the nexus. I use my phone in my business and really depend on it for calls and getting MMS from people, but those are the main issues it has. I've went through the right steps and checked with my wireless provider to make sure the setting are correct and they are, have the latest firmware, Bla bla.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i snort flour:
Samsung's are a hit or miss phone as well. Every Samsung I have owned has been laggy until i put a custom kernel on it due to them trying to extend battery life with poor governors (they test well in benchmarks but in real world usage they take awhile to scale up the frequencies so apps like browser always lag). All their new phones have had a Wi-Fi connection issue that has been present since the release of lollipop (don't happen all the time just occasionally). The new note 5 digitizers are just randomly dying for no reason (my friend went to bed 1 night and when he woke up his phone didn't work anymore. Samsung tech support confirmed they have been getting this issue from multiple people and the digitizer needed to be replaced.). Samsung has the shortest battery lifespan of any phone I've ever owned. I would look into a oneplus one as they have nice phones with lots of development and you could probably find them for around $300 now.

I use to be a huge Samsung fan until they tried to completely stop development on their phones. I miss my old i777. I wish it hadn't got confiscated by the police.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeoBranford:
It depends on how much you're willing to spend on a device. If you just want a mid range phone, that can do lots of things near as good as the flagships, AND don't mind the size + the locations of the buttons, then yes, you should buy it. If not, I suggest you to wait for this year's phones - and also Asus' one as well - to see what's better.

Personally, I'm loving this phone. Maybe the only bad thing is the lack of major updates, since it's still on 5.0.X. But if you don't mind rooting, then you'll be more than fine with cm13.

I have no idea where this should be posted. Sorry if this is not it.

I have an Asus Zenpad S 8.0 z580ca that needs the touchscreen replaced. Unfortunately it is bonded to the LCD with some type of glue and I cannot separate the two. I have searched, but cannot seem to find any replacements. I did find the touchscreen itself for sale, but without the LCD it is of no use.

I also have the z580c model of this pad. Even though the specs for the LCD are the same, they can't be swapped because the touchscreen is not the same. I really wish they had just used the touch from the z580c on both. It seems to be a lot more durable than the Gorilla Glass.

If there is anyone out there that has information as to where I could find the LCD assembly I would be grateful.

Ok I have done quite a bit of trial and testing before posting this and feel now is the time.

I have installed and tested a good number or custom WM6 roms. See list below:

NBD 7.9

NBD 8.0

NBD 8.1

NBD 8.2

NBD 8.3

NBD 9.0

NBD 9.1

OCTAIVOI's Wizard 3.2

OCTAIVOI's Wizard 4.5

TNT 4.0 Professional

Black Diamond 2.0 Touch

faria-htc wizard...WWE WM6 ROM- [the real thing]

Windows Mobile 6 - Titanium 2 (WM6Ti)

I love flashing new WM6 roms and testing them out but I also rely heavily on 3rd party software that I have to install after the flashing is complete. For every one of these roms mentioned above, I have experienced performance issues(slows down to a crawl) when installing larger amounts of 3rd party software not included in rom.

On thie flip side, when I install T-Mobile's official WM5 rom and then install large amounts of 3rd party software, the performance of the phone isn't affected in the least.

What I would like to see, is a custom WM6 rom with the performance of WM5 after installing large amounts of software. I believe the only way to do this is to change the page pool to 12mb because other than software installed, the pagepool is pretty much the only difference between these WM6 roms and and official WM5 rom I downloaded from T-Mobile.

Here is what I install on every rom I use:

Wisbar Advance 2

Palm Threaded SMS (WM5 or WM6 depending on what rom I am using)

Inesoft Address Book

Resco Explorer

Resco Registry Add-in

Resco Keyboard pro

Batterystatus

Weatherpanel

Chronos

Coreplayer

For WM5 roms I also install:

Touch WMP skin

HTC audio manager

Touch syle dialpad skin

10 button comm manager

When I am running T-Mobile WM5 then installing all of these programs does not impede the performance of the phone whatsoever but every WM6 rom I have tried to date has slowed down to a crawl when installing this software. I dont understand why... It just does.

Right now I dont even have all of my software installed. This is all the software I have installed, not already included in rom:

Wisbar Advance 2

Inesoft Address Book

WM6 Palm Threaded SMS

Thats it and it is running so slow I can't stand it...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] its right:
of course will find WM 5.0 more stable than WM 6.0 if you install all of these 3rd party apps, WM 5.0 compatibles with all the Apps listed, not like WM 6.0.

- What you have to do??

- find the app effecting on WM6.0 and replace it with newer version (if available).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dharvey4651:
That sounds like a good idea but when it comes down to it, most of the software I use isn't really available for WM6 yet. For example: Wisbar Advance 2 and Inesoft Address Book.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] its right:
i didn't read correctly, are you using Inesoft Address Book!! it is the most effector on the system (at least WM 6.0).

we are looking for many of 3rd party applications we are not really using them, so revise yourself and check out the most important apps for your really using and install them, test this thing for a week, then you will know which important, the stability or too many apps ;).

thats not means i'm not a 3rd party applications user :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dharvey4651:
I am going to try installing Windows Mobile 6 Titanium 2 again and install 1 app per day untill I find the one that is killing the performance of the rom. Thanks for the idea.

So, I was horrifically surprised to learn that the Contacts Groups Lollipop app doesn't work on Marshmallow. Yes, I know it says Lollipop, but I was hoping the dev might actually not have abandoned it.

Anyway, the lack of a groups feature in contacts is a truly terrible design decision by Google. I really need that, I have tons of contacts for different reasons, all organized into groups. Going through the customize menu to do this is a real pain in the ass.

So, are there any third party apps or custom ROMs that can get me this feature? It really is a top priority for me.
