[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] quickdraw86:
These type of threads are pointless. This is the same thing as "which ROM is the best", or, worst of all, " which device should i buy?" I'm not sure whether you mean this as a general poll, if you want to use a potential majority response to choose for you while avoiding the work of trying for yourself, or a mixture of both.

You're likely to get different answers, but not everyone uses their devices the same ways, to the same extent, or as frequently as others might, so, the question of best is irrelevant compared to the more appropriate question of what works best for YOU on YOUR device.

Best advice is to try prospective kernels (or ROMs) for yourself, experiment with available settings and options, and find the best fit for your usage. You'll learn quite a bit about your device, as well as android in general by experimenting.

Hi all

I have a rooted Z3. On the paper DRM keys should be untouched but I am not impressed with the camera's quality.

I flashed pre rooted rom and subsequent rom updates but wonder if something didn't go wrong along the way.

So, simple question : how can I test the effective presence of DRM keys / make sure the functions that come with it are present on my Z3?

Thx
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Your DRM keys will be totally intact unless you unlocked the bootloader.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjieb:
Are you sure? I thought that flashing a full 'home made' pre rooted rom could over right TA partition resulting in useless drm keys... Isn't there some part of the rom that has to be exclude to prevent just that ?

Do you see any difference in camera before and after installing preroot rom?

Having an awesome camera doesn't means awesome photo. There is many other things that makes a photo great.

Composition, subject, correct use of modes or manual settings, white balance...

I for one is not impressed with the stock Sony camera. But granted its much easier and better than other phone cameras available. I'm impressed with its low light capability, speed of autofocus, and all those amazing preprogrammed modes.

I'm no fan of manual control. If I need manual control, I'll need raw as well and for that I bought a dslr..

This Sony camera serves what I need. Quick, Good, camera to catch things at the right time.

Which version Z3 you have and which pre-rooted rom did you flash? The only version that has a locked bootloader is the T-Mobile Variant. And like all the other members stated, you can only lose DRM keys if you unlocked the bootloader. If your bootloader is locked then DRM will be retained even if you rooted and flash a pre-rooted rom.

I have a D6603 with current stock rom pre rooted. BL is locked.

Regards to camera (and not my photos) i am disappointed. I find the white balance dull/approximate, low light noisy and the overall sharpness quite bad. Hence I wondered if it was due to some messing about with drm keys...

I have a big problem on my SPH-L720T. Only AOSP/CM roms work on it, Touchwiz ROMS no longer work. Every time I flash a Touchwiz ROM, be it Stock Sprint ROM via Odin, or a Verizon ROM via TWRP (Yes, Verizon ROMs work on Sprint S4 just fine.), it boots up and everything works. However, after one reboot, on ANY Touchwiz ROM, I get a Unfortunately, com.android.phone has stopped popup that wont go away, and my phone stops receiving any signal at all. I have only flashed between stock OH1, EGRLP726 Verizon Touchwiz ROM (which has always worked perfectly fine for me previously by the way.) and AOSP 6.0 by JDCTEAM

The only thing I have done to this device before was take the OK3 OTA update. After this, Touchwiz ROM have not worked for me at all I get that error after just one reboot and it wont go away. I have not tried going back to OK3 though, will try and see. I have tried going back to stock OH1 via odin, tried flashing the OH1 modem instead of OK3, etc. I've gotten this error on both OH1 and OK3 modem. Only rom that works perfectly is AOSP 6.0 by JDC TEam or any other AOSP/CM rom.

Any idea? Id really appreciate some help here. Not sure if OK3 did anything to bootloader or something?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] allanlgz:
UPDATE> Tried flashing an OK3 Deodexed Stock Rom, did not get this error after reboot Everything worked besides wifi which may have something to do with being on the OH1 baseband, as wifi did not turn on at all.

BTW, the error is persistent. Like you cant d anything it just pops upa gain if I press OK. Any ideas as to ow to fix this

Ive tried clearing data for sim toolkit, phone apps (btw, for some reason I have 3 phone apps all with the touchwiz icon)

Ive tried factory resets, always come back when I reboot once

Ive tried deleting system data caches and flashing stock and after one reboot it comes back

ive tried flashing stock via odin after doing all wipes, then flashing the verizon rom, it comes back again after one reboot

Right now Im on an unofficial jfltespr cm13 build working perfectly

Seems Im stuck on aosp or cm roms until I can get this strange bug with touchwiz roms sorted out. im not sure if it has to do with radio, but everything works on aosp or cm but on touchwiz whether custom or stock it crashes the com.android.phone. it will flash and boot up fine, everything working. Soon as I do one reboot, that crashes and wont go away a all. Factory reset will fix it but after a reboot it comes back. Tried everything and its frustrating

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DarkCobraSK:
Never had any pit fails before. For OH1 I got around it by flashing NG2 first on Odin and then flashing over that with OH1. But you can't do that for custom roms. I will be playing around with it next time I have a good amount of time. Right now work is kinda holding me back.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] allanlgz:
My issues began after taking the OTA to OK3, so it may or may not be related to that, likely its not.

Problem is, when I flash a Touchwiz ROM of any type (custom, stock via odin, stock rooted, stock deodexed etc)

It flashes, installs fine, boots up ok first boot and everything works wifi data everything. However, as soon as I do ONE reboot, it reboots and when it boots, Signal is gone and I get a com.android.phone has stopped popup that does not go away at all, and if I can manage to make it into settings and about phone, baseband is unknown, when before that reboot it was fine.

Ive tried: clearing app datas, cache wipes, factoryreset via twrp and stock recovery and backup/reset in settings app (which fixes it but will come back again after one reboot)

Full wipe including cache dalvik system internal and sd then doing stock firmware via odin

Nothing works

OnlY AOSP or CM based roms will work on this, or toucwiz Kitkat roms seem to work but lollipop TW does not. Im afraid it may be hardware since even full wipe + stock firmware wont fix it.. But still holding out for a solution here as I cannot find anything at all on the internet, only stuff about clearing the app cache from the phone app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DarkCobraSK:

Rom cooking tutorial for hx2000 series

We will need:

mamaich's tools:http://mamaich.uni.cc/wm_re/imgfs_tools.rar

hx2000_tool: http://rapidshare.com/files/7435199/hx2000_Tool.rar.html

PEID: http://rapidshare.com/files/10292835/PEiD.rar.html

1. Open the program hx2000_tool.exe

2. There are two buttons: unpack & pack. Push unpack and select the nbf file of your rom. From extraction we take the nk.nba in the same folder as the nbf file is. put this file in mamaich tools folder

3. Now we will use mamaich tools.

Open a command prompt window and go to mamaich tools folder. Then run:

prepare_imgfs nk.nba

viewimgfs imgfs_raw_data.bin

And now we have the Dump folder with the extracted rom's files.

4. With this commands:

addfile(filename)

delfile(filename)

we can add or remove files.

When we finish all changes that we want to do we use the command:

buildimgfs

5. After run the command:

make_imgfs.exe nk.nba

6. We execute again hx2000_tool.exe to pack the new rom.This time we select pack(we must move the nk.nba back to the folder of the nbf), we check the option Pool size and we select from the list the pool size.

7 Correct the crc

For this we use the PEID program. Run PEID and select your rom's nbf file. Push the arrow on the lower right corner and select plugins -> crc32. Appears a small window.Enter the crc of our rom(for sp33752 the crc is E7A8B309) in collumn New crc. Check the "Overwrite mode" and press Fix.

8. The rom is ready for flash to the device.

I don't know if you already tried this but I read in 4pda.ru(from what I understand cause I don't know russian and I use wordlingo for translation and its not good) that someone with 2190b succeed to flash with this way:

He run the ruu utility from sp33003 and when pass the check he replace the EPAKROM.nbf with the nbf from wm6(first rename it).

Oke so what's up, after updating Cyanogenmod from cm-12.1-20151226-NIGHTLY-jfltexx to any later nightlies it works well, well, when I don't have my google apps installen (OpenGapps pico).

My ROM does for some way not like Opengapps, my google services keep crashing after I installed them as soon as I start up my phone.

Before we can replace the firmware, we should root it in order to make the process easier. To root it, we need to determine which OS version you have.
