Sorry, could you please be a bit more detailed on how exactly I'd do that?

Edit: Seemed to have fixed it by flashing the latest version of TWRP and then flashing Cyanogen mod again. Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Just for your knowledge, you can't just install just any RUU. It has to match your phone's carrier version (CID), which is one of the reasons ahmed asked for your getvar data (and those details of the phone can also affect what TWRP version to use, what ROMs you can install, etc.). Plus, you need to relock the bootloader to RUU, unless the phone is s-off.

The process of doing fastboot getvar all, has been described on this forum too many times to count. So its not his responsibility to describe that process to you; when you can easily find it by searching and learning for a few minutes.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firepower01:
I'm actually out of town now so I don't really have any way of knowing of the ROM I used is compatible with my carrier. My phone is unlocked so I wonder if that matters?

Regardless, I'll look into posting my getvar all when I get home. Thanks.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I'm not talking necessarily about your carrier or if the SIM is unlocked. The official RUUs will only run, if they match the CID of the phone.

We may be able to determine the version direct from the device, if you have an OS number listed on the bootloader screen. Is there an OS number listed there, and if so, what is it?

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] countthesaints:
When 14.1 was first introduced, I immediately flashed it and noticed that the tethering and portable hotspot option was greyed out. I moved onto a few others ROMs since and decided to give it a go hoping that they finally sorted it out and alas I still don't have the option. However, I searched around a bit and noticed some people were saying that it works for them, so I immediately wiped everything and flashed some different firmwares files and still nothing.

So my question is; Is the lack of the tethering and portable hotspot a known bug or have I just not installed something that needs to be? Thanks!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
So here's the scoop. You got this killer rom, but it loads a whole bunch of stuff that you don't want. You get around this by resetting before the configuration starts after aligning the screen.

You might have a host of cabs that you always load, and after you flash you need to run each one. Every rom you use it's the same thing - flash the rom, then load all your cabs.

Or, you may have a program you want to execute, such as enabling SetHSDPA.

Here's a way to "automate" it so you can use the power and flexibility of the PreConfig funtion as an "after the flash" customization tool, and make subsequent installations much faster.

You'll need a folder on your storage card called CABS, and in that folder put the attached file called CFG.txt as well as the cabs / exe's etc (unless they're already in the ROM, then just point the config file to the correct path) that you want to run. The CFT.txt is the file that will tell it what to install, and is exactly like the PreConfig.txt file - see my extended rom thread for ideas on what you can do with it.

Basically, here's the contents of the CFG.txt file I attached:

LOCK:Enabled

CAB: \Storage Card\CABS\A2DPFix.CAB

CAB: \Storage Card\CABS\ATIFix.cab

CAB: \Storage Card\CABS\Cingular_WAP_MediaNet_MMS_Settingsv2_No_ICON_Change.cab

CAB: \Storage Card\CABS\Google Maps Cell.CAB

CAB: \Storage Card\CABS\Monopoly.cab

CAB: \Storage Card\CABS\NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab

CAB: \Storage Card\CABS\S2U2-0.72-WM5.cab

CAB: \Storage Card\CABS\Solitare.cab

CAB: \Storage Card\CABS\StartClean.cab

LOCK:Disabled

RST: Reset

Just list out your cabs or actions in this file - and be sure the files you are referring to are in the destination path.

To use this setup:

Edit the CFG.txt file and place in \Storage Card\CABS (if the folder isn't there, create it)

Copy your cabs/exes into this folder, being sure they are set to READ ONLY.

Install the attached cab, and after you reset it'll start the installation!

Once the installation is complete and the phone resets - you can remove the program from Settings-Remove Programs.

Important Notes:

Don't forget to make your CABs READ ONLY - or they'll delete after installing. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Ensure that the cabs you're installing does not require any user input. If it does, it will hang the installation process, you'll need to reset the phone, and not all of your stuff will get installed.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kc_hubbard:
Is there a way to get cab files to default to installing on a Storage Card? I'm trying to prevent it from asking me where I want to install it and thus causing this tool from hanging up.

Nevermind, I made a bad assumption (yes, I know what they say about assuming things) that the PreConfig Launcher would hang up waiting for input for where to install something. I just tested it out on a cab that allows a user to override the installation directory and everything worked fine.

Sorry.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
You could edit your cabs and have them install to the storage card by default - or at least I think you could. I'm thinking something like %storage card%. If I get a chance I'll poke around WinCE Cab Manager and see if it's possible.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I just tested it by building a cab to install to the folder /Storage Card, and it worked fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kc_hubbard:
Matt,

While I'm not quite the noob the number of posts would indicate I am, I admit that I haven't done much w/ building cab's. In an attempt to build one to install directly to the storage card, I've used WinCE to alter the default directory and have altered _setup.xml file, both to no avail.

While my pride says not to ask you to tell me how you set the cab up to install to storage, I'm not above asking you to post the example you created to test this so that I can look it over and try to figure this out for myself.

Would you mind attaching a cab file that installs directly to storage for me? Please?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I could - but this is super easy. When you add a file, you get a window with three tabs, one being location. In that tab, you'll have the folder view. Click on the root '/' folder and press 'new folder'. Call it Storage Card.

That's it!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kc_hubbard:
I must be an idiot to not have been able to figure that out (and my day job is computer programming, albeit on IBM Mainframes). Will work on this again once I'm back home. I'm sure big brother is already not too happy w/ all the time I spend on the forums anyway.

Thanks Matt!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] AximMarkSD:
so, if i were flashing a ROM i would flash, install the cab and then, assuming i already have my cabs and config files on my card, i hard reset and this should launch ok?

thanks,

mark
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kc_hubbard:
From what I've done/learned no hard reset is required. You install the Pandora PreConfig Launcher and let your phone Restart. When it restarts, your cabs in the CFG.TXT file will be installed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] AximMarkSD:
so after a flash or a hard reset (for whatever reason) you just install the cab and then soft reset and it will install your cabs?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
correct - as long as your cabs and the configuration file reside in the CABS folder on your storage card :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] AximMarkSD:
right.

thanks. that's a great tool.

pardon the ignorance but i've never played w/ the WinCE cab manager. can i change the default install location on commercial cabs that i've purchased (assuming they require no interaction during install)?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] megarek:
Yes you can change the default install directory.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] megarek:
Matt,

Thanks for this great program. It makes changing roms SOOO much easier!! When combined with WinCE cab manager, you can autoinstall just about any program. This thread should be stickied.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] megarek:
Quick guide on how to get programs to install to storage card used WinCE Cab Manager. This guide was modified from K's FlexiRom instructions:

Preparing the cabs

---------------------------

- To set the cabs to a static path, install WinCECab Manager.

- Open a cab with WinCE Cab Manager and click on "CAB Information".

- Double click on "Default Install Dir" then select "Installation Directory"

- Change the default install directory to what every use desire. Do this by creating new directories under "/". For most users wanting to install on storage card, change path to "/Storage Card/Program Files/cabname". Before moving on to the next step, make sure that once you make the folders, click the desired installation path and click "APPLY".

- After applying the new default installation path, choose "Do not allow user to select installation directory"

- Check if there "Setup dll" is present under Cab Information. If setup dll is present, delete it off. [this step is from K's instructions, not sure if it is necessary or not. I've been doing it.]

- Save the cab then right click on the can and select "Read Only" and click apply/OK.

- Check and prepare all the cabs you want to auto install and place them into the CABS Folder of your storage card.

PS Using WinCE Cab manager, you can also modify the shortcuts of the program.

While both Matt's tool here and K's Flexi Rom are very similar (I'm using bits and pieces of both for my current Rom), I'm not sure why Matt would need to give any credit here...this thread started mid December and K's Flexi Rom came out in January.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Moe5508:
Would this work for the Kaiser?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
This is kinda funny. To set the record straight - I had no idea what K was working on in December. I had a need, and used my knowledge and understanding of the autorun / preconfig system to build a cab that would initiate the preconfig utility and call a specified config file. At the time, I believed this to be the best way to use it.

I decided to release it in case anyone else had a use for it as well, hence this thread.

Regardless - as everyone knows - I post all my kitchen builds so anyone can use what I have. I don't horde information, as I want this to be a free exchange of ideas and work.

I did notice his rom came out after I put up this launcher - but I didn't care - because IF he got the idea from me, he used his own knowledge and ingenuity to come up with a new and great use for autolaunching programs off the extended rom / storage card that I didn't.

In the end, it advanced the concept even further, regardless of who came up with the base idea. In any case, PreConfig came from the OEM's - so it's nothing new anyway!

I know there are others on here that *****, moan and complain to the mods if they see a piece of their work in someone elses build. If they're so damn stingy - they shouldn't post in a public DEVELOPERS forum where EVERYONE is working to better the whole.

While kudo's are nice (referenced in the release), I leave that up to the integrity of the builder - but in the end who cares? As long as our phones work great and new ideas keep being brought to fruitation and improve things, I say keep it up :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Yes it will, on any WM5/6 device with a storage card mapped "/Storage Card" by default :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I've setup the PreConfig utility to install most of my programs (as this thread is for), so except for Windows Live, MS Reader, and Xpress Mail, everything gets installed super easy.

As for the rest of the stuff (such as ringtones, themes, etc), if you have a standard batch you move every time, you can add them to the preconfig script (CFG.txt). Example:

CPY1: \Storage Card\Themes\HTC_Default.tsk

CPY2: \Windows\HTC_Default.tsk

CPY1: \Storage Card\Ringtones\Aooga2.wma

CPY2: \Windows\Rings\Aooga2.wma

The up-front work is a bit tedious if you have quite a few, but it is easy to add it in and once done you can easily update if you have changes. You could even add in a line to set your favorite theme after moving it over:

EXEC: \Storage Card\Themes\CusTsk.exe HTC_Default.txt (need to verify - going off memory on this one)

Just make sure the files actually exist where you're referencing or it'll hang and you'll have to reset.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
One more thing to add - I choose not to install a program to my storage card.

As I understand it, the files gets copied over and saves on the storage card to save from the dreaded Windows folder bloat, but if you reflash your phone, you'll need to restore the registry and links for each application.

The reason I avoid this path is:

1. Having to restore the registry / links of installed programs

2. Potential for device errors if the program is called before the /Storage Card drivers are up and ready

3. General mistrust of the stability of the storage card to execute applications from in real-time (a carry over from the Wizard and trying to do this many times)

So it's probably out of my own ignorance that I don't use it now, but if you want to go there - good luck!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Moe5508:
Oh lovely! Thanks mattk_r! I have loads and loads of cab files (in fact all my apps are in cab format on my SD card!!!!) so the task now will be just to change the default install location of all the cabs to point to \Storage Card\...

Hey folks..

I'm trying to test my xml-file for registrychanges and copying files..

I created the CFG.txt in \Storage Card\CABS:

The Finishing.xml:

After installing the PreConfig and rebooting, I always get the errormessage "The file:

\Storage

does not exist!"

In the status-field on bottom: "Loading Finishing.xml"

I tried all this in CFG.xml:

XML: \Storage Card\CABS\Finishing.xml

XML: /Storage Card/CABS/Finishing.xml

XML: "\Storage Card\CABS\Finishing.xml"

XML: "/Storage Card/CABS/Finishing.xml"

XML: "\Storage Card\CABS\Finishing.xml"

XML: "/Storage Card/CABS/Finishing.xml"

I tried the Finishing.xml with only registry-changes, and the changes were not done. That's why the error must be in the CFG, but I don't know where...

so far

3. check on "Do not allow user to select installation directory" (this seems to clear up what I did on step 2)

[Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra Questions & Answers] speculatrix:
yes, this might be great news, or a great disappointment. let's hope for good news!

GSMArena doesn't seem to list the bands: http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_3_ultra_zu680kl-8130.php

An online shop (which I don't fully trust, so I won't give a link to eglobal) suggests 4G on

700MHZ 700MHZ

(B20) 800MHZ (B20) 800MHZ

850MHZ 850MHZ

900MHZ 900MHZ

1800MHZ 1800MHZ

2100MHZ 2100MHZ

2300MHZ 2300MHZ

2600MHZ 2600MHZ

which in theory covers some UK carriers (officially 800 and 2600, but some are using 1800)... but as I say, I don't trust them.

the 3G bands listed are these

800MHZ 800MHZ

850MHZ 850MHZ

900MHZ 900MHZ

1900MHZ 1900MHZ

2100MHZ 2100MHZ

which omits 1800, which is odd. I'd have thought that these phones would be multimode and be able to run 4g or 3g on a common set of bands.

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------

I can't find the phone on amazon.de any more. I wonder if they pulled the listing after mistakenly posting it? It's still on .fr, is eur650, which US$680 or GB£555.

That makes it quite a premium. I've seen it as little as £410 elsewhere, but that would be an import.

doesn't appear to be on amazon.es either.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decijp:
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 P5113 that originally had Android 4.1.1, which doesn't have mirroring. I also have a Tab 4 with KitKat that has mirroring and works wonderfully well on my TVs.

I rooted the Tab 2 and installed Marshmallow and I don't find a mirroring button on MM (It does have a cast button, but the cast can't connect to anything). I have downloaded Miracast display, Mirroring 360 Sender, All Screen, Samsung TV Media, AnDLNA and Allcast, and none of them have the simple mirroring that works very well on the Tab 4--ie, whatever is on the screen of the Tab 4 mirrors to the various smart TVs I have that are about 2 years old. I will add that AllCast, for example, recognizes my Viera TV but won't mirror to it. (I suppose it could play video files that would be on my TAB, but I want to see my Tab 2 screen, whatever it is with some program or ROM. Which seems to mean KitKat mirroring to me so far.)

So, my question is whether my TAB 4 type mirroring will work on MM or whether I have to revert back to KitKat or possibly Lollipop to get the mirroring.
