[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] kcomeforo:
I'm having a problem with several applications, and I'm not sure if its problem with how they were written, or if the problem is in my WM6.

I leave my phone connected to my computer all day long. When I first started doing this, I quickly realized that it was using my computer's internet connection via ActiveSync instead of my phone's data connection. I didn't want this, and I found the option to tell ActiveSync "This computer is connected to my Work Network". After that, Pocket IE and IM+ (the two apps I use the most) started using my data connection and everything was good.

Then I started getting more apps, for example, TCPMP and Palringo. When I am connected to my computer via ActiveSync, these apps still try to use that connection instead of my data plan. The big problem here is that my work's firewall blocks things like IM and streaming media, so these apps don't work at all.

If I disconnect from ActiveSync and start up TCPMP and Palringo first, then they work just fine. It seems to stick with the phone's data connection once its established.

So, is this a problem where those programs are picking the wrong network adapter? Or is this some issue from running WM6 on my MDA? Maybe even something that's been fixed in a more recent WM6 rom? :)

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have:

T-Mobile MDA

IPL/SPL 3.08

Update:

I was able to follow the instructions here to eventually extract the rom.zip image from the RUU, rename it so that hboot would recognize it, and return my phone to a stock ROM image.

But as you may have guessed, this did not ever bring me to an SIM unlock screen.

I am basically at the point of giving up. At this point, I would just like to know why this is impossible. Tampered flag? Relocked flag? Maybe I'm just an idiot and didn't realize something about the Sprint "SIM" card makes it incompatible with a Chinese SIM card (it does refer to it as a UICC card)?

Any suggestions on why this didn't work would be nice. Guess I wasted $8.99 and 10+ hours for nothing.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdaniel546:
Device: HTC One M8 Bell

Firmware: CM13 Nightly

Recovery: TWRP

Android Version: 6.0.1

Security Patch: April 2, 2016

So lets start it off like this, I had this 32gb lexar micro sd card that I have been using for quite some time. I decided it was time to get a new one so I went over to amazon and bought a well regarded 64gb patriot micro sd card to replace what I have in my phone. Once it arrived I unmounted the lexar micro sd and put in the patriot micro sd. I had this strange message pop up instead of it going oh hey lets set up your storage I got unsupported lexar sd card. I decided to tap on the notification and run the sd card set up stuff multiple times and just ended up getting errors that wouldn't allow it to be mounted. The phone is detecting the new patriot 64gb micro sd card as the old lexar 32gb micro sd card. I took it out and threw the card into my desktop system running windows and boom 60 gigabytes of micro sd flash detected everything came up fine it was partitioned and everything. So I decided maybe the file system is wrong and since I couldn't format in android storage settings anywhere until the card is set up I did it in the TWRP recovery where the card is fully detected and works fine. I can move files to and from it and everything without any issues but as soon as I go into android I get unsupported lexar sd card. After a while of having no luck at all I just decided to flat out wipe everything through recovery except the micro sd card and do a fresh android install and see if any system files in android were causing it. Here I am sitting in android with this brand new install with the message in notifications "Unsupported Lexar SD card" I have dug through system files tried wiping the cache for external storage. Nothing is working I have no idea. I really do not know what it causing this. Is there anything else I can try to see if I can fix this? Thanks.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Try formatting the SD card on your PC. Folks sometimes have better luck that way, than using the phone to format.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdaniel546:
I have tried that already in multiple formats too, I ended up leaving it in fat32 since well that is the standard filesystem supported. I had no luck with anything I even reformatted it on my phone later with twrp because I thought the filesystem windows gave it was an issue. Nope it wasn't, I still have the same unsupported sdcard error. Something really weird though, I took out the new 64fb micro SD card that was having this issue and put in some ancient sandisk 2gb microsd that I have lying around, it worked fine. Android popped up with setup for the card. I still don't think something is wrong with the 64gb patriot microsd like twrp sees and and everything that it in it. Files can be moved around and so does windows just not android
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
"Fresh Android install" meaning what? Did you try a different CM nightly, or another ROM (like Sense)? Maybe just a bug in the particular CM nightly.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdaniel546:
I reinstalled a newer version of CM 13 Nightly and before that I did an advanced wipe cleaning all partitions except for micro sd, usb-otg, sd-ext. I left the micro sd because it had the cm build on it. However yes I did also wipe the micro sd card card just earlier in the day, the problem still persisted once in android.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chieco:
Good Hello Everyone,

so I just got my S7 edge today aaand the first thing I do after getting home is obviously visit the S7 edge section on xda! but oh boy... :eek: what's this what I'm seeing! or should I say not seeing? basically no roms and not a single custom kernel!!! I'm deceased:crying:.

WHY? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??? :crying:

Development on the S6 was simply great. Switching to a Note 5 well not so great but had some gems. But now "upgrading" to a S7 edge and being faced with this tragedy? Oh man I hope this changes in the near future.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] meyerweb:
I wouldn't expect any change to the U.S. version. If rooting is really important to you, return the phone while you can.

I have to ask, though: Why didn't you look at XDA before deciding what phone to buy?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jrwingate6:
I was wondering the same thing.....:D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mahdibassam:
Because 2016. Flagships dont really need any development now. The purpose of custom roms was better battery, faster speeds, less lag, etc. But today's flagships already have all of those things. There are no improvements you can make. I have stopped rooting/ROMing my phones since last year because i just dont feel the need anymore. You will probably get a few roms in the future anyway , but I dont think the community will be anywhere near as active as before in the development section.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] markwebb:
I'm happy with this phone the way it is actually! So far not missing root for a month now. I shudder to think all the time I spent the past six years rooting, flashing, fixing, etc.

Besides that's what a Nexus is for!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Neemac:
I wouldn't go that far as saying the development has stopped. There are coming custom Rom. Tho, not as many as before, I'll agree with that.

When it comes to custom kernel, you can have a look at this tread

Apparently Samsung priorities security because of Samsung pay.

When it comes to what [MENTION=1931010]mahdibassam[/MENTION] says, I disagree. A good example was the S6, who had major bugs from Samsung side. The the first to fix it was this community with the custom roms.

There is always room for improvements.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mahdibassam:
Well, if a phone is buggy, then that warrants the need for a custom rom. E.g. the LG G4 was in dire need of improvement. But can you give me one area where the S7 edge is lacking and would need a custom rom to fix? I really cant think of any.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Neemac:
If you're happy with the S7 as it is, then that's good. But for me, and many others, the phone ain't complete "mine" until root is there, and maybe some custom roms, where they are already debloated and deodexd.

It's all about custom preference :)

Especially the kernel part is important for me, as that's the real thing when it comes too set the phone free, and really get the use of all the power the phone holds. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] VICosPhi:
Development will begin, it is still a new phone. The software on S7 is less intrusive but I fully understand you would like a customized device experience and being a flagship device you assumed this one will be well supported by the developers(which it will, just a matter of time).

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] riso123:
Is not been released more than a month. We already have root and a handful of Roms.

Not sure why you think development is dead. Just at the moment is not really required as the phones are smooth as it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
Seriously?

-Viper4Android

-Xposed (and therefore essential modules like Xprivacy, Xtouchwiz, MinMinGuard, YouTube AdAway and App Settings)

-Adblock (non-root ad blocking solutions are mediocre at best)

-AFWall+

-Titanium Backup

-Greenify (will work without root but hibernation of apps needs to be manual)

The list goes on. You can choose not to root, but you can't say improvements can't be made to stock by doing so. That will never be the case in my view.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Faspaiso:
Of course there are improvements to make. There always is. Stock is never heavily debloated or as efficient as custom, as stock should be over stable.. So customer's don't complain about problems.

If the battery and speed are good stock, you can just make it even better custom. Like change alarms and wakelocks on thing you personally don't need. Debloat things running in the background, hibernate them, set cpu work queues, change network when screen of and so on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mahdibassam:
I totally get what you saying guys, I am just giving my own opinion, as you are. Each to their own i guess. I just dont see the need to put myself through the hassle of root and recovery and the manually flashing every update through recovery, and then a clean install with every new base and etc. The phone is just good enough as it is out of the box, FOR ME. I would love to have Greenify again, but frankly the battery life is just really good and I dont feel the need to go through the trouble to get it , and I have never used Xposed anyway.

But all in all, what puts me off from going the custom rom way these days is 1) The phone is just perfect as it is (again, for me) 2) I cant be bothered to flash every update through recovery and etc and do a clean flash with every new base and all the other stuff that comes with custom roms

But hey, this is the beauty of android isnt it, it caters to everyone, including me and you :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
Because the stock firmware is good enough so no development is needed.

You already have great battery life, theme support, ad blocking support, many other customization options.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
That's great, and in a way I'm envious. But there are simply too many applications I can't do without that require root.

Ad blocking on non-root is via VPN. It's ropey and unreliable at best. Certainly it doesn't hold a candle to what can be achieved with root and proper hosts editing. Also, Xprivacy for me is essential, I'd go so far as calling it my most important application. Combine it with a firewall like AFWall+ and, in terms of privacy, my phone is locked down. Non-root firewalls, like non-root ad blockers, work on VPN, and are again unreliable in comparison. Plus you can't protect against data leaks on boot. But I guess it comes down to what we want from our phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HesThatGuy:
LOL. Does this question really need to be asked? If you look around in the forums you'll see that the dev community for this phone is almost non-existent because of its locked bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
"It" doesn't have a locked bootloader. The US Snapdragon variant does.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mahdibassam:
Such confidence, 'LOL' ing people, yet you are wrong and spreading false information. The Exynos variant already has a few ROMS. The bootloader is unlocked. Only the Snapdragon is locked.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chieco:
1. I live in Germany and own a Exynos variant.

2. The S7 edge I S7 were very well received by the public and I just assumed there would be developers that pick this up. It's a Samsung Flagship there is usually always development for these.

I hope I answered this Q for u.

To each their own. This years Samsung Flagships r solid BUT there is ALWAYS room for improvement. Like being able to use all apps with Multi-Window, Call recording, CSC Tweaks for things like App Lock. etc. this list goes on. And don't get me started on missing custom kernels.

I'm happy for u that u r happy with ur Phone. But rooting/custom roms r not just for fixing stuff...

And I gladly spend some time on my Phone rooting and making it truly the way I want it.

And in deciding which Smartphone to get rooting isn't the only factor. In my opinion Nexus devices / vanilla android sucks.

Thank you for agreeing with me. Seems like the Americans that commented before just accepted their locked bootloader and it's easy for them just to say "oh I don't care". Like u said there is always room for improvements.

And the whole Knox/ Samsung Security thing get's on my nerves honestly. Some places won't ever get Samsung Pay or maybe in a few years. Just let me decide what I do with my own device. I agree with the term of voiding my warranty by rooting, so just let me.

And I don't like the idea of Bounty threads. They are cancerous to the community and somewhat against the philosophy of xda.

I'm not saying developers shouldn't get recompensated for the hard work they put in.

Again custom roms r not just for fixing things.

Yes the cpu governor for example is very strict which leads to some things not running nearly as well as they could.

And honestly who doesn't loves a debloated rom?

Hope so :)

Show me.

Sadly yes. But don't give up hope :fingers-crossed:

Checkmate

You r 100% entitled to ur opinion but mate u telling us constantly that u r fine without root/custom roms/kernels doesn't change the fact some people still want it! From ur description it seems like it was torture for u.

From some of these answers I simply get the feeling u guys never had the joy of using a truly customized device which is just not comparable the something stock, even for what the S7 edge I S7 offer! sorry u haven't lived if you have this opinion.

educate ur self. Exynos variants don't have a locked bootloader.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Guys honestly I obliviously don't expect brand new never seen features from a custom rom. But it being de-odexed and debloated for example or having some minor csc tweaks like enabling Call recording, App Lock (If u don't know what that is look it up) is a start. Coupled with Xposed u definitely get a quiet different user experience compared to stock. If u can live without those good for u. But once u get used to them u really miss them once they r not available anymore. And what the hell? this is xda! this is not a place to say we don't need these things.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
I owned the Nexus One, Nexus S, Nexus 4 and some other developer-friendly phones.

Nowadays, my time is valuable and instead of spending the time installing customized firmwares every day and occasionally asking the community how to unbrick my device, I prefer to make money and have my phone actually helping me instead of wasting my valuable time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chieco:
Well u were clearly doing it wrong! flashing everyday? having to unbrick it? People who speak out against this whole topic sound like they didn't know what they were doing :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
Well, it seems that you are just a newbie that just started to learn about customized firmware. Once you get more experienced and want to do really cutting edge stuff regarding development (including actual software development and not only geeking around), you will understand what I mean. My advice to you is to try to focus on things that bring you real benefits, whether material or spiritual, instead of wasting your time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
If you're interested in custom roms for the Exynos S7 Edge, the best one isn't found on here, it's on another forum. Echoe Rom is what it's called. It's currently on version 6.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chieco:
What r u talking about? r u looking over my shoulder while I do my bidness and hold time? Settings up my device doesn't take years for me like u make it out to be. Once that's done I usually use it for months without updating it. And Honey it's my life I'll do whatever I want with it. Even if I spend 24/7 just doing that. Why don't u take ur own advice and stop wasting ur precious lifetime here?

thanks for the advice I'll have a look. :good:

Maybe you should really do a little research before you talk nonsense. NetGuard blocks ads using a host file, exactly like you would use on a rooted phone. I've found it every bit as effective as using the same host file on my prior rooted device.

As for your other points, not all of us are as paranoid.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
It's clearly you that needs to do some research. Yes, NetGuard can use host files to block adverts, but it does so internally and via VPN. As I said. And therefore has the drawbacks that come with that. So no, not exactly as you would on a rooted phone, which is done via the editing of Android's native host file and is more reliable given that the VPN service isn't required to be running.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] skivnit:
I only want a custom kernel with [MENTION=4167023]AndreiLux[/MENTION] sound hacks and some uv if my bin is on the high quartile
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] meyerweb:
And the end result is identical. Any and every attempt to to to a site that's included in the host file is blocked, and never leaves the phone. EXACTLY like it would be on a rooted phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
Providing the VPN service is constantly running, which is what I alluded to in my original post you quoted and claimed was nonsense.

NetGuard is a great application I've used myself on occasion. But it isn't as good as applications like Adblock Plus for blocking adverts for the same reasons it's not as good as applications like AFWall+ as a firewall. Namely that it doesn't use Android inbuilt and native features which will always be more reliable given that the VPN service isn't required to be running all the time.

Also, non-root ad blocking is a total pain for people like myself who use an actual VPN service given that Android can only run one session at once. If I want to connect to AirVPN? I need to deal with adverts and no firewall. As I said, non-root solutions for ad blocking and firewalls can't hold a candle to what can be done with root. Sorry you disagree but it's the simple truth.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] meyerweb:
Just shaking my head. The VPN service starts on boot. Always. Yes, there are advantages to root, but there are disadvantages too, including security risks that you claim to care so much about. NetGuard works just fine for ad-blocking. Give it a rest.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
Shake your head all you like, it doesn't stop what I've said being right. And I'm aware of the disadvantages of root. But root security risks are virtually non-existent if you know what you're doing and are careful what applications you allow to have access.

And practice what you preach and give it a rest yourself if this is bothering you so much. All I'm doing is correcting you after you claimed I was talking nonsense. If you don't like it stop replying.
