[XDA Assist] NOT Horace Harkness:
I have a series of phones (plus one tablet) that I'd like to "Root" and then

install new firmware/OS to the latest stable and practical CyanogenMod release.

Note that I said STABLE and PRACTICAL.

For most of the phones in the below list, I am not interested in the "Nightly Builds". Thus the word STABLE. The "Release Candidate" versions should be the correct/adequate versions of CM.

This interest of mine has been revived because CyanogenMod 13 now has the (T-Mobile popularized) "Wi-Fi Calling" feature. Having said that, some phones on the list below may not be supported by and/or have hardware capable of, running CM13. I may have to settle for CM11 (or even earlier releases) on some of the phones. Thus the word PRACTICAL.

- - - - -

The below list is in order of priority/sequence.

i.e.: The newer the hardware, the less urgently I feel the need to an update.

[Best viewed in monospace]

* LG Optimus-T: ______________ LG-P509

__ Android ver. 2.2 _________ (Kernel ver. 2.6.32.9)

I have previously done the expected "Google search" for techniques on how to do things like Rooting and CM installs, but I've frequently come up against wrong, old, or obsolete advice.

One pair of such examples are the SGH-T959 & SGH-T959V duo.

While similar, they are not exactly the same.

Rooting instructions are not the same between them.

Said instructions don't appear to work anymore and/or are now identified as being malware.

- - - - -

I've tried to navigate the web site, but failed to find the relevant forums for many of the above listed devices.

It seems that only the newest devices have easy to find forums.

I _TRUST_ that the forums for the older devices have not been deleted, but shuffled off to some remote corner of the web site.

- - - - -

In addition, I need a clarification as to:

Is the Kernel is same or different than installation of the CyanogenMod OS?

- - - - -

So...

*** What I'm looking for are the relevant forums to go to and seek TODAY's CORRECT advice as to how to Root and install CM in my above list of devices. ***

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rx-8:
Hello!

Im and others are looking for the possibility to change the language of our hw6915's After reading a bunch of threads I realized that no one has ever hacked the hw6915 (HTC Sable) upgrade process and .nbf ROM update compleatly (You're the one who got the closest).

As you said in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=325051&page=3

But now there is a chance for all of the hw6915 users to change the language, cook and play with their phones but it all depends on YOU!

With a huge input of b0ris747 who's hacked the RUU, cooked bunch of ROMs (even though not entirely successfully) and figured out how to change the .nb (raw dumps using pdocread) to flashable .nbf files now wee need a CID unlock tool/instruction.

Its vital for pdocwrite ing the raw backups if anything goes wrong or a method to update a rom. And of course for the RUU ROM updates to work w/o bricking the phones.

As b0ris747 does not have a hw6915 at his disposal Im willing to do all the testing and sending reports.

For now Im considering all the pros and cons about upgrading my Spanish hw6915 to a french orange:

http://www.mobilite.fr.orange-business.com/public/oev4/html/fr/pme/mobiles/ba/dl.php?mi=192&pi=2510

Hoping for the best (just locking my phone to orange not bricking it)

Please give us the info/tool/hack for CID unlocking or any other info we might need for that matter:)

PM for my FTP's address where you can dump some files

Of course anyone's else input will bee greatly appreciated.

My cousin's i9505 works fine, but this is the second time in 3 weeks it boots up into the Warning screen of Odin mode for no reason. The solution to this seems to be to pull out the battery for an hour or so and put it back in and phone works normally again. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any permanent solution to it?

P.S The second time this happened, the earpiece stopped working and later the phone booted back to Odin Warning screen. Possible water damage causing the buttons to malfunction?

[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] Oldim:
I just got a free Galaxy Trend 2 Lite (SM-G318H) that I'm going to let my son have as a gaming device.

I'm not well versed with custom roms, I know how to google and that way flash Cyanogenmod or whatever mod on a phone but that's about it.

However when I try to find Cyanogenmod for the Trend 2 I can't find anything. Is it because no one cares for it (budget phone)? Or any other reason?

Should I wait for a Cyanogenmod version for the Trend 2 or should I go with any other alternative.

I just want it to be faster than stock Samsung rom and without all bloatware. Suggestions?

Edit: For some reason I thought I had a Ace 4, but it was a Trend 2 Lite :) So if a moderator sees this thread, feel free to move it where it belongs.

Whats adoptable storage
[Xperia Z5 General] _Dennis_:
Making your SDcard become part of your internal storage.

Bad part is no SDcard is as fast as internal flash storage so you'll slow your phone down (by how much depends on the speed of your card).
[Xperia Z5 General] MechaBouncer:
True, but that should be our decision to make, not Sony's.

EDIT:

[Xperia Z5 General] danw_oz:
It definitely didn't used to be a problem because the internal storage with previous Sony phones was previously the same speed as my sd card :), but the internal now is much faster on the Z5, just wish sony made the interface to the SD card faster, then my sd would be the same speed or faster than the internal memory and adoptable storage wouldn't be an issue.
[Xperia Z5 General] bartolo5:
You also lose access to your internal storage when you use 'adopted SD storage'. Android will use it to install some apps but you can't really use for pictures, videos or anything user side. Some apps, some..., will let you move between SD and internal, but they will revert to their default on app update. Also, some apps lose settings when updated if they are not on internal. Also, some apps who are SD aware become unaware of the SD card with 'adopted' and will only use internal memory.

The whole thing is a mess and not ready for prime time IMHO. I've tried it extensively on my Z3 with the concept ROM that allows this, and ended it disabling it because it was more trouble than it was worth.
[Xperia Z5 General] MechaBouncer:
Would splitting the SD card into two partitions help this?

Thanks,

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fookea:
Nope, the headphones are ok.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoXion1:
Hey fookea, yes I've had this issue. However, mine is so bad that I cannot plug anything into it without major static and crackling noises coming through, if I get sound at all.

From what I've gathered, our headphone jack needs to be protected because it gets dirty very easily. Moreover, this problem is not uncommon for the Z3 and if you send it off, or take it to a Sony repair shop, they'll fix it at no charge.

You can also try taking a Q-tip and pulling some of the cotton from the end. Dampen the end with a small amount of rubbing alcohol and try cleaning the jack out. If this doesn't work, you'll have to have it repaired. :(

I'd advise getting a case that protects the headphone jack, like the Ringke Fusion (it's what I have). I regret purposely breaking the headphone jack protector off the case after getting it because I don't think I'd have the issue I do now.

Good luck!

do you think these patches be ported to OPT ?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djsubterrain:
If so then Francisco is the guy to do it, his involvement seems to be quite official too as Adam Krisko (The community manager for OnePlus) seems to have been the one who supplied Francisco with a nice new OnePlus 2 and a OnePlus X :

https://plus.google.com/+FranciscoFranco1990/posts/egKJs4JqiwR

Since the official Marshmallow version is out for the OnePlus 2 this month (quite possibly the X also), it could be coming with a kernel supplied by Francisco, most likely with the optimisation you mentioned. (It's more likely they will try to release the official Marshmallow with Franco also releasing his kernel around the same time).

Which, in my book, is ALL good. Our phone could finally be becoming the "Flagship killer" it was meant to be.

Using the ROM][GT-I9305][Marshmallow][6.0][Cyanogenmod 13.0][UNOFFICIAL] with pleasure :)

No problems, battery uses more when there is no wifi around, but I guess that is normal?

The only problem I had was that the screen did not rotate, after boot it worked for a while, then stopped.

The fix for that, well, it works for me is to change a setting:

In the Developer options turn on the Multi-windows mode, you will get a message that it may cause some problems, but I did not notice that.

But it fixes the screen rotation, it works perfect now!

Same here. I am getting the dreaded "Sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly." message when it is trying to sync the calendar. Emails have been coming through just fine the past couple of days but the calendar does not seem to be synching properly. I also get this error message when it tries to sync contacts as well but I'm not as concerned with the contacts. I've tried several workarounds that are out there on the web but I have stopped short of doing a factory reset, which I would prefer to avoid if possible.

Today I bricked my phone when I try to flash back to 6.0 because I was lazy and use dd to flash modem(radio).

And here is a warning:DO NOT flash your nexus 6p's bootloader,radio directly,becuase radio,bootloader image for this phone is packed.Using dd to flashing it directly will make you phone bricked.:)

And my phone is locked because I want to use device protection.So no luck flash radio via fastboot directly.

So I manage a new way to let bootloader thought bootloader can be unlock.

I learn about "factory reset protection"(frp) partition from

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/help/info-nexus-6-nexus-9-enable-oem-unlock-t3113539

.

So all factory reset protection problem is just about that frp partition.You just need to dump it out using dd,then use winhex or other software edit the last bit to 01,then your phone is able to unlock.No need for password.:)

And don't give the device protection too much hope.Many people can unlock it easily because you just need to edit frp partition.Use jtag tools,wire emmc out,even UART or just download mode,and edit that bit then your phone is unlocked.:rolleyes:

Apple is the same.Although apple will check iDevices ID,but many people who fix phones in China has some backdoor to unlock it(means reuse it again,data is loss,but who care these data).:o

put the frp files back to /sdcard,use "dd if=/sdcard/frp1 of=frp"to flash the unlocked frp back(make sure you are in /dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name)
