[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] animelover:
And what is with the copyright of Disney? ;)

BTW:

There's is enough stuff to optimise the pictures I think, but it's your job and not mine! :D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] Neo XL:
What´s about copyright of microsoft? :-)

What´s your idea for the theme?

I have it on my prophet and it looks very good.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] animelover:
You got me! :D

Hmmm, I don't know how to describe it ...!

Jack isn't really good visible in Todayscreen and the font isn't really good readable in the applications!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] Neo XL:
Thx, animelover....You´re right with jack....i tried it in seperate ways, but the biggest problem is the htc-plugin. If it´s disabled, you can see him very good as on the bootscreen. I think about making him light grey/blue again, and a little bit deeper, also the other blue pics a little bit less contrast and lighter...The theme is in this colors, because i wanted to have a connection to water, night and wood....brown/ blue/ dark blue. Maybe i make a variation in the next days.

To the fonts: I think, the most fonts are good to read, but in the comm manager the dark grey font is not good to read...it was the same in spiderman theme... but there always stands "turn on..."/ "turn off...", for the most it´s not important to read these words, because it´s easy, to see.

Maybe in a few days the variation will satisfy you more. I wish you the best.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] Stuclint:
Good job!

Good job! I like your work! But, I don't know if Pirates of the carribean is the kind of thing that a lot of people will want as a theme for a long time. I tried doing a coffee theme, and I posted it in the Prophet touch IX thread, but nobody has made any comment on it whatsoever. I guess that means people think it sucks? I would like to make a nice theme for the Prophet that will suit the needs of a wide range of people, but there are still some things I have to figure out, like How to skin the 'New Menu' how to make Custom cube animations and so on. Your screen shots look really professional too!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] Neo XL:
Changes

Your motivation is, that many people like your themes....my motivation is, to make a theme, that i like myself. And after trying this, i think about sharing it. I change my themes after a while, have them all on storage card.

And this theme is a special for persons, who like this film and it´s actors. Spiderman-Theme was dowloaded over 330times, Paris around 270times and Pirates were downloaded around 500times. Maybe, that some users have a similar taste like me...you get more feedback, if you make a new thread for your theme. Inside a prophet touch thread éveryday the posts are so much, that all don´t look on the previous pages.

For the persons, who downloaded the theme: Please download all files, because there was not so much space, to put all files in one folder. If you only download one folder, you miss some files.

Edit: Little Changes in the design...animelover told me, that jack isn´t good to see. Also a new pocket cm with kira knightly, a modified comm manger background and a modified nem menu background.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] Neo XL:
Here is a welcomehead.96 (bootscreen) for those, who have no prophet. Look at your own welcomehead´s name in windows, and give this file the same name (welcomehead-96.png or welcomehead96.png....), make a backup of your file and replace it with the new.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] Neo XL:
After some questions:

Pocket CM Theme is not for version 0.16, only 0.15

Thx for nearly 500 downloads until today. Don´t forget, that you need to download all files for the installation. I couldn´t put them all in one folder.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] doomasala:
@Schaeff

As usual u'v made another gr8 all included theme. Thanx 4 that.

But i think that today screen wallpaper is a little out of sync with the all dominating golden-bronze color elsewhere used... jus my taste :)

Anyway, excellent work... thanx again
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] Neo XL:
Thank you for your feedback...I wanted to have a connection between wood/ship and blue/water and night in this theme, so i use this both colors for the theme. In dialer more brown, in some both colors, and in some apps only blue. On the today screen is blue dominating, but it has brown taskbars....but in the first trial i had all in brown...it doesn´t really look good for my taste.
[HTC 10 Accessories] tekzonept:
In IK Multimedia site they say "Android devices equipped with USB-C socket require a USB-C male to Micro-USB female adapter with data transfer capability"

I have tried 2 adapters with irig ua and it doesn't work. HTC support says that the phone have OTG capabilities, so it should work.

Anyone here knows something about this? Is there a way to make Irig to work with the HTC 10?

Bought one adapter from Aukey and now it works.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] facuarmo:
Hey guys, Pokémon Go should be literally unplayable on this device (stock ROM runs Android 4.2.2). I'm here to explain what ROM to use in case that you want to play Pokémon Go without lag on this device.

Requirements:

You need to flash one of these ROMs: CM11 by pollos (leaving XDA, Spanish webiste, but I hope you all know how to translate it or just pick the link from the entire thread) or CM13 by EdwinMoq.

GLTools (no warez: GLTools [root] (gfx optimizer), if you want to use warez version, remember RAM memory, you'll just take advantage of it lately, remember)

Fix graphics lag:

Procedure:

Tick the three checkboxes and then, hit Install.

Put the red highlighted areas to the same value as the image shows.

That's all, reboot your device just to make sure that everything is saved successfully, and open PGO ;).

Side-effects:

Graphics errors, such as black areas or totally blank video data from some things (generally the map and the Pokédex).

Video feels blurry and sometimes distorted (when the graphic to show is too complex to render).

Fix GPS issues:

Procedure:

Download and install Artas182x's L9 GPS Fixer

Open L9 GPS Fixer and click those buttons:

1 - The device will cache an update.zip to the recovery, and a script. Then it'll reboot and flash the GPS drivers.

2 - Will ask for LTO pathfiles, those are going to help the GPS to connect with speed and accuracy.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] marciofornari:
The main problem that i found with Pokemon GO on P768 is GPS and not lags, the character is not walking correctly. This app GLTools fix this?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] facuarmo:
Thanks for letting me know about that other issue. I forget to put it in the post.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] heathmcabee:
It work for you on the U firmware?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] LeftyGR:
Yes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] heathmcabee:
Thanks again seems to be working
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] LeftyGR:
Once you set up, it may take a while to actually activate. I just left the app, came back to it 5-10 min later, and it was running normally.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] heathmcabee:
Ya took me almost an hr. Worked well though. Downloaded many that didn't work. Just needed 1 that did.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] bryanu:
It doesn't appear to actually work. You all just think it is.

If you leave a vm it wont download it (or mine doesn't seem to).

If you go into settings and pref, it shows it's not verified still also. You just stopped seeing the prompt because once the screen times out it is no longer on top but if you fully kill the app and re-open it still says verifying.

These are my findings at least? If you go into settings and pref does it say you're verified?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] heathmcabee:
Yeah I couldn't get it to work either
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] wojo797:
Didn't work for me either
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] brendan802:
Try this one it worked for me on my unbranded piece o sh!t locked bootloader s7 edge with the added ticking timebomb feature.

Link vvm

On a side note samsung got what they deserve for f@cking us usa s7 owners. I hope they lose tons of money
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] rsaavedra:
No dice, didn't work for me either... Did you do anything special to install it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] heathmcabee:
Thanks seemed to work. Finally got account verification
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] bryanu:
Are you sure?

I've got the same issues all the others did. It can't activate. Just because it stops popping it up doesn't mean it's activated now either. That message suppresses after a while.

It seems to tie into something that it and Sprint Zone use from what I can tell and thus why won't work on these non-branded firmwares.

Leave yourself a VM and see if it shows up...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] heathmcabee:
It usually wouldn't go past the account verification at all. I'm not 100 %sure yet. But it did go farther than before and I'm trying it out now to verify. Will get back
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] bryanu:
If you press home and go back into it the app will hide the message but it still wont work.

I actually found the outbound activation messages in it that are failing to send even.

So this is another bust.

I think our best luck is if someone can either reverse eng. this thing to modify it to not try to use whatever sprint bloat it's looking for or we find what it's looking for and find a way to put it on our phones.

Sadly it's not a new issue. All the Nexus people have had the issue from day 1. And it seems to be only sprint because they won't make a darn public compatible app.

I can't use GVoice as I already use it for a second number and I don't like any of the third party ones that make you use conditional call forwarding to them to do this...

Another question for you all. I've noticed if NO voicemail app is installed I do not get any notification I have voicemails. If I do install one (despite it not working) I get notified because it says pending voicemail download at least.

With no VM App installed are your phones telling you that you got VM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] heathmcabee:
Yeah same boat here man. Looks like we beating a dead horse
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] optimummind:
Yea, Sprint should upload visual voicemail to the Play Store like T-Mobile does. So stupid.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kitland54:
So a few months ago I bought my first Android phone in years, a ZTE Max Duo from Straight Talk. Unfortunately, since then I have found absolutely nothing about the phone on forums like this, let alone any way to root it. Has anyone managed to root this phone, and if so, how? I don't have regular access to a PC, but if the only way to root it is through a PC, I might ask for permission to use one.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarDey:
KingRoot now roots the phone but the bootloader is still locked!

The ZTE max duo LTE (z963vl) can now be rooted via KingRoot but only temporarily. When you reboot the phone you will lose root. You can not make any system changes either still because the bootloader is still locked after root. You can not update BusyBox either. Also when you root the phone with KingRoot it says "This model restricts root authorization". To fix that error just completely close KingRoot and re-open it and it will fix the root authorization error. Dev's or anyone for that matter please help unlock this phone's bootloader please I really want to start getting custom roms and recovery for this phone plus I want to be able to write to /system. I hope this helps as much as possible and I hope the bootloader will become unlocked with all the Devs help. Also I did this with the apk version of KingRoot only because I do not have a PC.

Great news...

This is a good start... hopefully something comes of this... God I want this phone rooted!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bent213:
Hmmmmm...

So I tried Mardeys method and it did root like he said... installed su superuser and root checker... they worked... busybox wouldn't install... restarted my phone and lost root... so I did it all again then just powered off my phone and started it with power button and volume up... took me to recovery screen with a few options... one being sideload with adb...

I am new at all this so don't know if that helps but would love to get this thing rooted...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kitland54:
Which superuser app are you using? The one by ChainDD just crashes when I run it, and SuperSU keeps saying the binary needs to be updated but fails when I try to do it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bent213:
Wall here's what my whole setup was... I ran King root... It said I was rooted but didn't restart my phone... I installed superuser and ran it... This is the one I used... Supersu by chainfire... I installed busy box also but had the same problem about need to update binary files blah blah blah... I then installed a root checker and said I was rooted... Super su was found and busy box... Still no reboot... So I tried installing a few root apps... I installed a app remover for bloat were and it worked... But... When I reboot my phone I lose it all... And can redo it all again but it won't stay on there... Not tech dumb but don't know enough to figure it out... Hopefully that helps you a little as far as what my experience was... Like I said before... If I boot into recovery there is an adb sideboard option so... Just hope it gets figured out soon... Would love to have this rooted with a good room on it.... Starting to think it's a hopeless cause... One more thing to add... While rooted I installed a boot manager to see if it would go into a deeper boot recovery mode at restart but it didn't...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kitland54:
I honestly wish I could swap out Kinguser for something else. SCR ScreenRecorder Pro doesn't seem to realize that there is root, even after granting it permission through Kinguser, which leads me to believe either I'm not actually rooted, or KingUser is garbage.

What do you mean

What I mean is that after typing the command into the terminal, the phone reboots. Once it's back into the OS, I go back to KingRoot and it says it's not rooted.

[solved]Root for ZTE Max Duo? (Z963VL Straight Talk)

You should know we do suggest you root your ZTE devices with KingoRoot APK, because it is no need of connecting your computer.

And before you rooting ZTE Android handsets with KingoRoot, please make some preparation first.

Mentally,You actually should have some knowledge of ROOT. If you don't, please Click here to make sure what you are really doing. After all, rooting your device has both advantages and disadvantages.

Materially, you have to power on your ZTE, make sure it at least 40% battery level and Internet connection (Wi-Fi is suggested).

If you got ready, let's directly goto the guidence below to root your Android device with KingoRoot.

Step 1: Check "unknown sources" on your ZTE and allow installation of KingoRoot.apk(download and install from google play).

Settings > Security > Unknown Sources

Step 2: Launch KingoRoot.apk and hit "One Click Root" to start rooting.

Kingo Root Apk Main Interface

Step 3: Wait for a while, the results will display: succeeded or failed.

Kingo Root Apk Root Succeed

How u unlock bootloader?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trawick.dave@gmail.com:
I have a friend. I told him to check here. I decide d to help him to learn more about it myself. Kingroot has previously been installed and was working but wouldnt stay of course upon reboot...from reading and my little knowledge....its because he needs an unlocked BL for it to stay after rebooting?! He has flashed various ROMS and a kernel for a ZTE blade and another one for a one plus one shamu....anyway...he has problems.lol. he doesnt have the original ROM. So help with that would be great...its a z963dl with AOS 5.1.1.

(1) where could i get the original ROM to flash it back to original state?

---reason i ask is after installing kingroot. KR said it was rooted while apps said it wasnt. He would try reinstalling KR not going thru recovery and it wouldnt complete reinstallation. He is sitting here now and booted to recovery then went into phone. Now KR seems to be working....he said it wouldnt go thru the processes. So maybe thats gonna work.

So if you guys would kindly direct me to a working ROM for this model. He said he thinks he has a 4.4 Blade ROM that was to boost to 5.1. on it. He said he doesnt know why he did that with the ROM.

UPDATE. KR finished process. KR says its rooted. APPS dont work that need root access. Root checker wont even finish checking for root...just has a busy signal, circular motion. Still checking i suppose.......FINALLY. SAYS NOT ROOTED. It identifies the phone and firmware as being the phone that it is rather than the blade which he had flashed onto ROM.

• my understanding of flashing the ROM..such action should have changed the firmware and model of phone to that which the ROM was flashed. Should say now say phone is a blade firmware 5.1 if it had taken that ROM flash he tried?!! Is that correct?He said nothing in "about phone" has ever changed: firmware, swv, kernel, build number, etc. Seems to me as though it still has original ROM.

I dont suppose its totally bricked...he said all apps work minus all root access required apps.

Any help would be awesome guys. Would surely like to learn more about modding cells. Got experience modding Hu and H card ROMs back in the day. Same principle...a few more steps with different device and functions. Pretty familiar with digital communication, ROMs, and such. Thanks in advance for the help. Of course i will report my findings if they will benefit. On with the educational research. Later. Dt
