Welcome to the forum...

No manual - you learn from osmosis.

I am pretty new around here as well... but a long time lurker...

So - to help as much as possible - here is a quick answer to your questions:

Flashing is when you overwrite / rewrite the firmware. It is the method used to put different ROMs on your device.

Cooking is where you create a custom ROM image - so it comes customized with whatever the chef puts on it.

ROM - think of it as an operating system image that is transfered from your computer to your device.

Go to the Kaiser Upgrading subforum - sticky at the top is the place to start.

Read read read.

This site is chalk full of information about these kinds of things: Kaiser is pretty new - so hit one of the other forums under XDA. Software sitting on top of the OS should be pretty standard... ;-)

Kinda. But not as well. Data connections are more prone to dropping than voice calls.

It is cheaper to call internationally though... ;-)

So if you have a good connection and you aren't moving... it is a great alternative.

Welcome dude.

I'm in the same boat as you. I read through the posts here and found them really helpful, especially the stickied ones about flashing ROMs.

The best way to get rid of the AT&T stuff is to flash your ROM. Flashing your rom to the HTC-rom will wipe the AT&T bundled software and replace it with the set that comes with the TyTn II (although no TomTom).

I've been trying to find answers to some of your questions too (especially where to find good software and media players), so I'm looking forward to replies from the older members.

Welcome to the forum, i am also new. As to your question of what is the best media player, it is TCMP, it plays almost everything (even .flv files!) but support has been discontinued because the ppl made it a commercial product...mind you very tech savy ppl are still continuing support for it and adding codecs and stuff.

to download it and some codects, go to this website:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Bulldog1:
Thank you. I can understand that some question may too broad to answer in this thread. I understand that alot of my question are answered in other threads and for this I appologies.

The the reason I ask those question is becuase I do not understand the language being used. I have read (reread) the stinky under the kaiser upgrades tabs but still do not understand what exactly it is saying (or what it is supposed to do).

While I agree most of my other questions can be answered in other threads it would be of great help to me if someone could explain in greater detail to me my question number 2 which I have reprinted below.

I would like to get rid of all the ATT stuff (for a lack of a better word) that on my phone and upload all the high speed HTC stuff.

I would like to do this in hopes of increasing performance as well as to have all the programs and features that where meant for the TYTN 2. If one could list the steps or refer me to the link that could do this it would be greatly appreciated.

thank u

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] aaronwms:
You guys are great, I can see a sprite of sharing and helping in this forum. Again, you guys are the best, especially thanks to Daniel.

I bought a Chinese unlocked version Kaiser in Hong Kong, and I found out that it is not that convenience to me even though I can read Chinese. With Chinese Windows, it runs very slow. I decided to flash the ROM with HTC standard English ROM.

However, because of warranty issue, I need to backup the Chinese OS ROM, and restore it to its original setting if in case I have to take it back to HTC for repairing.

I am totally new to PPC or WM devices (I used to be a Palm lover), I wonder if anyone of you can tell me how to "Backup" and "Restore" the ROM. Detail instructions will be highly appreciated.

Sorry for my stupid questions, but I really don't know how. Whether I get the instructions or not, YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!:) :) :)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeriesOfTubes:
I've only ever used the stock rom on my N5X. I just updated to the most recent stock rom build with the April 2016 security updates and then rooted after installing TWRP and flashing SuperSU. I am deciding whether I want to switch to another ROM or not. The major problem I have had on my phone thus far has been storage space. Is there any difference in the total amount of space that different roms take up, like CM vs. Pure Nexus vs. Stock? Or are they pretty much all the same +/- a few hundred MB?

Also is there any way that I can tell what build version each ROM is based on? For example is the latest CM based on the latest factory image, MHC19Q?

I'm also curious which is the lightest/fastest between CM, Dirty Unicorns, and Pure Nexus. I read the ROM thread a bit and know its a subjective question, but any guidance on which would be best for a first time ROM use would be helpful. I've used CM on my tablet before but not on my N5X. Thanks.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
I don't think there is anything substantial in terms of rom system size. If you are referring to the rom zip, yes they do vary from rom to rom.

If the rom thread is updated properly, all the build information is included in their OP. Roms are updated monthly, but maybe weekly or nightly at best. They are based on the new month's OTA usually within a week after the OTA is made publicly available. You could always ask if this information is not readily available.

My only recommendation is to try all three roms. I use Dirty Unicorns and Chroma but I know Beans (Pure Nexus dev) makes great roms from my experience on my last phone.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
Are you asking in terms of backup size? Outside of backups, if you are just worried it will eat up into your available memory, there is a dedicated system partition of around 3GB that isn't available for your own use. All ROMs will need to fit into that partition unless they pull some tricks. Since it isn't space you'd normally use, it shouldn't really matter to you what size the ROMs are, unless you are worried about keeping multiple backups around and then it could eat into the user accessable storage.

I believe the stock ROM is just under 2GB so there is around another 1GB available for ROMs to expand (or they could be smaller)

I use button saviour on all my android devices, and I find it really speeds up maneuvering through my GUI. I was wondering if anyone had used it on the edge's curved screen? It's something that I (unfortunately) can't test at the verizon retail locations.

Also did they remove the floating keyboard (undock keyboard) option on the s7 edge (samsung kb). It appears it's no longer an option on teh demo units I tried.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheXDestroyer:
I'm a big fan of upgrading my Android software without ruining my data. The problem with that is that my phone is rooted + encrypted. This is now the case with my Note 4 (N910C).

I used to get a similar configuration to work with my Note 3. There, I started with a specific lollipop image, and then root my device. Then, every time I hear about a new update, I reflash my device with that image, which removes SuperSU's binary and all other non-official stuff, and then I upgrade my phone using the official update. Then, after the update is successful, I reflash TWRP and SuperSU.

I would like to do the same with my Note 4, and I would just like to hear from you, experts, whether there could be problems with this for 2 reasons:

1- I have my internal memory encrypted (my /data partition)

2- I'm not sure what image Samsung Kies used. I believe if I reflash a different image, it could lead to problems.

After I tripped knox in my Note 4, I had to use Samsung Kies to recover my phone's software. I'm not sure what software is used that I can flash it again the same way I did with my older Note 3.

So my first question is:, the following is a screenshot of the about dialog in my phone:

View attachment 3728311

Does this correspond with the following stock firmware image I found on SamMobile? How can I know for sure?

N910CXXU2COJ5_N910COJV2COJ2_ACR.zip

and my second question is: Does having an encrypted /data partition ruin my plan at all?

Thanks for any efforts :)

Thank you very much for your reply and information. My CSC code is BGL. Now I'm downloading:

N910CXXS2CPB3_N910COXX2COJ2_BGL.zip

Based on what you said, this should be the original that I currently have. Now hopefully I can flash and not worry about messing anything.

What about encryption though? Do you think it would ruin anything when I reflash because my /data partition is encrypted?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jovan1997:
I never used KIES to reflash my phone :) But i think it will delete all ur files..Can u fisrt disable encryption and make backup for safe? Than reshlash,restore and again encrypt? :P
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheXDestroyer:
Thank you for your response. Perhaps I misrepresented myself there. When I used to do this with my Note 3, I never used Kies (which is why I never lost my data). I always used ODIN. The time I used Kies is recently. It's because my Note 4 completely stopped working and responding and I couldn't even access the Download Mode. It said to connect it to Kies for recovery, but I don't plan to do this again unless I must. My plan is to flash my Phone with ODIN when I want to do upgrades.

Disabling encryption is not a problem-free operation, especially when root is enabled. A failed encryption/decryption operation guarantees that data is lost. This is actually the reason why I needed to use Kies in the first place.

That's why I would like to know whether flashing with /data being encrypted could have any negative impact on the data.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kicroy:
Hello,

Sorry for the non explicit title but I couldn't be clear!

I am new with this but I know some stuff about android like I know Kernels, Recovery, ROM etc.

However, I was wondering these things, I am not up to date:

1) What is UBER?

2) What can contain a Kernel that a Rom can't? Is the Kernel like the heart and the ROM more like the body? It's sometimes really ambiguous for me

3) WTF Is that external memory system lol, is that possible to use the external SD and move some apps without formatting it only for the phone?

4) I like CM 13, really like it and especially because of the Theme that you can change and who change now everything and not only the desktop °_° but I was wondering what kernel should I use with CM13, I mean like a specific kernel who could be better than the CM Base

5) I tried many roms, CM, Beanstalk, DominionOS but in every case I coudn't get a functional GAPPS, with OpenApps Aroma I don't have the Playstore, with the A-GAPSS I have it but it crashes sometimes (play service fc ++edit: i will watch for permission > result: it still doesn't work and fc++) and this is like I can't use snapchat because of this... Any idea about this?

Thanks to all, have a nice day
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
1) Uber? It is a taxi service... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ubercab&hl=en

2) The kernel is essentially the interface between the OS and the hardware, so your analogy is very accurate.

3) I am not sure what you asking about external storage... it is the SD card when it is in Portable mode. (assuming Marshmallow) you cannot install apps to it in portable mode (external). This should give you what you need to know: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/109134/p/1449,9582

4) There is no "best kernel"... kernels are always a trade off, performance for battery life and vis-versa, the best anyone can tell you is try and see which works best for you. Remember to dirty flash ROM between trying different custom kernels to fix any changes to the ram disk and other /boot changes by the previous kernel.

5) Ask in the ROM thread for the recommended Gapps package for each ROM, if the recommended one doesn't work, then post in that thread and you should get feedback.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kicroy:
Hey thanks man!

Uber as a kernel thing I mean :P is that something godlike like linaro was in the old time?

Oh so the "problem" about moving things like in older phone is about 6.0 and not about the phone himself?

Hmm okay I will try them so!

And gonna ask cm post then, thanks :)
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Oh... lol... I didn't even think of the Uber toolchain... It is a toolchain built by Chet Kener, actually similar to Linaro, I don't know that kernels built with the UberTC are any better than other kernels and the toolchains tries to take key elements of Linaro and SaberMod and combine them... As with any kernel, YMMV, so try them and see what works best for you.

Yes, Marshmallow handles file systems differently, especially when it is portable storage (external storage)... Marshmallow, without root and third party apps, cannot put apps on the SD card, it is just storage space. But the card can be adopted as internal storage, and if you google around, you will see there are ways to split the card into 2 partitions, part of it as internal and part as external storage.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kicroy:
