PREVIEW!!!!

This theme requires WA2 or WA3 and WAD... hop on over to lakeridgesoftware.com if you dont have them... but to give you a run down, I wanted to have something that allowed me to hide the clutter when im not using my phone, pull up ALL of my favorite apps in an organized fashion. Easily set different backgrounds and set themes, as well being as lightweight and efficient as wad will let me be. With WAD2 around the corner, I was going to abandon this project, but decided to finish what I started. Here are a few screenshots, it will be uploaded tonight...

The current theme is a marvel/dc comics for the portrait... and a bleach theme for the landscape. The buttons were designed by torx and akuma, and were resized to fit accordingly... also, there are plenty more buttons so you can change them to your liking very easily... pm me if you have any questions or requests...

this is the main portrait homepage...

this is the main landscape page...

this is a preview of what it will look like when you hit the task/office button...

the text will pop up and the icon will invert and lift to let you know that you are on the desired page... if you click the button again, the dock will hide like its displayed... each page will do this

this is a sample of the phone page when its docked...and undocked in landscape... instead of the raised text, the title next to the clock will switch and the icon will raise and invert... app buttons like "favs" can launch the speed dial of the cube in portrait... although as stated before, all buttons are configurable...

well... this is just a preview... let me know that you think

LooKs very nice, it will be nicer if u can make a s2u2 clock and background skin :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Djay64:
Looks awesome ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
s2u2 is easily configured... youll be able to choose any of the wallpapers in s2u2... the clock is a font file... ill have to look into how to implement it into s2u2... if anyone has suggestions on how to do it... pm me

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinuneedshelp:
I need help urgently please.. I created this account because earlier today I installed TWRP for my Samsung Galaxy A5 from

https://xdaforums.com/samsung-a-series/general/to-port-twrp-to-galaxy-a5-a500fu-t3150843

I used Flashify to flash the ".img" file into my device and then Flashify asked if I wanted to reboot my phone so I chose 'yes'. My phone successfully booted into TWRP recovery mode but now I can't go back to the normal OS, even after I tried most of the stuff I read on net. I tried installing the stock ROM but it needed the software version and stuff which I think can be accessed only from the settings which can not be accessed from TWRP mode.

I am ready to Factory Data Reset my phone but I read that Factory Data Resetting wont work out.

HOW DO I GO BACK TO THE NORMAL OS?

Please help

It is a Samsung Galaxy A500F which I bought in June, 2015.

The info Is in /system/Build.prop.

And you don't boot via Flashify After flashing a .img File.That Triggers A Recovery-loop.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ngadhnjim:
you can go on download mode ?

you can fix that problem without data resset ,find cf autoroot for sm-a500f fllash via odin and after fllash phone can restart on normal mode.

or you can install fresh stock by these procedure.

search on google for SM-A500FXXS1CPL2 6.0.1 4 Files Repair Firmware and place right on odin ,that way phone wipes all and install stock firmware.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bbb88:
Hey guys, need your help! I've flashed a lot of roms on different phones before, but this is the only time something didn't get fixed by returning to stock ROM flashed via ODIN.

So here's what happened. I was on this ROM for my W8 canadian Note 4: https://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/development/note4uxs7edge-t3416225

Everything worked smoothly and I installed the N7 camera zip file included. My camera worked perfectly but I decided to flash the N4 zip in the thread via TWRP.... Suddenly BOOM! "Server Error. Restart camera". Now no matter what I do, the rear camera won't connect, even after a full wipe and ODIN'd back to stock W8 ROM!

Is this just a coincidence that my camera hardware failed or do you guys think it's corrupted camera firmware?

Hi

I have a carrier unlocked T-Mobile s8+ and need to use a Verizon SIM in it and am getting errors trying to use a verizon SIM. The Verizon SIM is from another phone and is already registered. I put the IMEI number of the phone into Verizons web portal to test compatibility and it failed. Does that mean there is no way to get this combination to work? Does the IMEI need to be in the VZW database for this to work? Will flashing XAA guarantee this to work? Thanks for any help and advice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mdiaz33685:
do u have a tmobile phone, it is different than the carrier unlocked phone, those are 2 different models,

the carrier unlocked.. the sim is unlocked..

the tmobile is not carrier unlocked, and by flashing the firmware of the unlocked version, will NOT unlock the sim.. u will need to device unlock app with the tmobile phone 1st... and usually tmobile will NOT unlock unless u have paid it off and using on their system for 40 days..

others like me had it unlocked with days of service, cause we are tmobile customers for years already... I on the other hand bought the phone on ebay from someone who bought it from Samsung and the imei was not added to tmobile system and I had to call tmobile to add the imei which took about 3 days, then to call back to request the sim unlock which took another 3 days, the device unlock app unlocked the phone instantly...

that was my process for me to get the sim unlock... but if urs it not unlocked and is paid off, another way to get it unlocked it to give it to someone u know, let them use it and call tmobile to start the above process...

Hope that sums up what must be done... :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sideswipe:
Hi thanks for the explanation, I am pretty familiar with the differences between carrier (SIM) unlock and unlocked firmware as I have flashed Android in the past. I had the phone carrier (SIM) unlocked by T-Mobile through their app and I was still not able to use the Verizon SIM in my phone (not registered error). It turns out (and I found this out by reading through the many messages in this forum) that T-Mobile firmware apparently disables some frequencies that other carriers may use. Once I flashed the XAA unlocked *firmware*, I popped in my Verizon SIM and it worked like a charm. I hope this info is useful to someone at some time and I thank all of you for your contributions to getting this working. KUDOS!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mdiaz33685:
Good to know, but sound weird, thought T-Mobile phones work for all gsm Sims just needing to change apn,

But now cdma merging with gsm, that's so much better as far as phones go, use any phone now from any provider.

Look how the s8 plus is all the same software and the same hardware, just different carrier stuff..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sideswipe:
I thought it was weird too. Busted my head for a couple of days trying to figure it out. Is Verizon still CDMA? *scratches head*
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jmstumme:
Yes, their 3g and 2g networks are CDMA.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] seemcity:
If you insert Verizon sim into T-mobile phone, you'll get LTE data, but you won't be able to make calls. Only data will work. T-mobile firmware support band 2, 4 and 13, so you should have data, but not phone service. If you don't have data icon, you'll need add Verizon apn.

FYI

Flashing the phone with G955U1 firmware fixed this issue. I am now able to use this successfully on Verizon.
[Samsung Gear S3] qprneil:
I'm looking at purchasing from third party seller on amazon, an international, probably a UAE version of the Gear S3 and using it in the UK and I'm wondering what limitations this will cause. From a general browse through the Web I've found various information but all just hearsay and would appreciate some more concrete information.

I've heard that:

1. My warranty will be void?

2. I won't be able to update the S3?

3. Samsung Pay won't work? (which wouldn't bother me)

4. Will have trouble connecting to my phone?

5. Software will be different?

Could anyone answer my some of these questions for me as I would be saving over £100 on buying a non UK version.

Thanks in advance. Neil.

I have problem with more encoded Opus track in MKV container with MX Player Pro (tested with Android 5 and 6)

one example with problem: OPUS 224Kbps VBR

( another without problem to compare: Opus 192Kbps VBR )

I not know english word to explain audio effect.. it's a vibrate each 2sec for less 0.5sec.

I not reproduce the problem if enable HW OPUS audio codec (but HW not support 5.1).

No problem on MPC-HC or VLC with PC.

I reproduce the same probleme with KODI on Android 5
[MX Player] baudav:
I add this new MKV test file with x264 video (not all device can read x265 for test)

MKV x264-OPUS 224kbps VBR

-VLC can read without problem on Windows and Android (but not found other player can read without problem this x264 mkv)
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It looks like a FFmpeg side issue & the latest version also has issues. That's why the issue is there with KODI.

Probably VLC might have implemented some workarounds.

The issue is forwarded to our developer team & they are looking into the issue.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It looks like a bug on mkvmerge or ffmpeg.

We will add a workaround on the next version which can be enabled optionally.
[MX Player] baudav:
Hi,

for the update

- https://github.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/2099

- https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/4178

after extract opus track with ffmpeg, and add it with ffmpeg, it's GOOD.

I not understand all word in explanation, but initial opus track is not very good (even if reading has no problem)

If mxplayer can read without problem it's good; but if I correct my file it's better.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
We will add a workaround for this. But, it is not supposed to be used for all audio tracks. So, it will be made as optional.

My redmi note 3 just restarted by itself and is stuck on MI logo. Fastboot mode is working.

I tried using adb to flash a custom recovery but it says device unauthorised which is because usb debugging was not enabled on the device before it got bricked.

Any way to enable usb debugging via pc?

Any way to flash custom recovery without usb debugging enabled?

Actually I don't need the phone anymore, any way to recover the files into my pc from the device that is stuck at logo?

Okay I went ahead and took the device to the shop, they agreed to make an exchange when I showed them the other same phone had NFC and this doesn't, the new phone they gave me also doesn't have NFC.

Hi guys! :)

I need some help for updating my ALE-L21 Single SIM phone to the latest Dual SIM version.

My phone has an unlocked bootloader, and I am able to use fastboot. Also, the phone is locked by Telenor Hungary, but they are going to unlock it at the end of October for free, so this problem is going to be solved soon. ;)

Model: ALE-L21

Build: C432B603

Bootloader: Unlocked

SIM: Locked (by Telenor)

The problem is that I don't know the order of firmware versions that I should flash onto my phone. My first goal is to reach a DS version of Marshmallow, then I think that official updates will be available from SystemUpdate automatically.

Thanks in advance for your help! :D

Hi I'm not sure if it's my carrier "Assurance Wireless" that's doing this or if I may have done this my self iv'e only installed a few apps the same apps I have on another phone that's not mine testing purpose "Virgin Mobile" but it dose not get full ads pop up on it. My question is their any aps I could use to scan get rid of or block these thank you.[IMG="Ad on home screen during text"]https://scontent-ort2-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/21616355_10208721649553197_7171383246698512904_n.jpg?oh=1cfe81df7f78198a0b41c25f5a9a6909&oe=5A3AE356[/IMG]
[General Questions and Answers] Char_G:
If you've only got a few apps installed, uninstall all of them and see if the ads go away. If they do, reinstall the apps one at a time, until the ads come back and you'll have the culprit. If they don't go away with no apps installed, you can try a factory reset.
[General Questions and Answers] -Hope-:
In addition to what Char_G said I would recommend to try anti malware and spyware app to scan the phone maybe likely the app causing this issue would be blacklisted.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
It could also be the device. Some oems encludes ads like that when they sale discounted devices.

New behavior

Something new is happening apps are being installed automatically with out me doing anything only happens on wifi but recently have had the apps letgo, Lucktastic, Yahoo Sports, And BOSS revolution installed. I have ran malwarebytes and AVG for android both apps report no viruses or malware detected. I'm going to reset my phone to factory settings and install nothing from the play store and see what happens.
[General Questions and Answers] Brian7k:
A friend thought this as well as it's a smartphone that Assurance Wireless gives you through the government program I'm on. Not a known name brand "UMX" as far as I can tell it manufactured by a Chinese company "Teleepoch" I'm not expecting something fancy from this program but this is nuts lol.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
UMX is known to me and I'm betting I am right. It is a common thing mainly for devices like that. The inclusion of ads help off set the price of the device.

You may have a chance but it would depend on unlockable status of the device. If you could unlock the bootloader then by some work you could make a rom that removes it all. But again that depends.
[General Questions and Answers] Brian7k:
You are correct reformat to factory settings did not install anything from the play store left my phone on with wifi on and got the same ads and apps on my phone. My question to you is their a firewall app I can download that would block this behavior or is it just something I will live with until I can get a better phone one day.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
If you can manage to get root then an ad blocker might be able to help. Other then that you would need to flash a custom rom
[General Questions and Answers] Haleon:
No root solution found!

I have the same carrier and model of phone. I was getting the same kind of ads. But I also got ads in my notification area. I long pressed the notification to discover the app responsible was the in built gallery app (I had been curious of it's abnormally high data usage already). I disabled it and replaced it with an ad free gallery app from the play store and I haven't been assaulted with an advertisement since, 3-4 days ago. I actually created an account here for the explicit purpose of sharing this information because this was one of the top results in my search for answers and definitely the most helpful result. I hope it can help someone else.
[General Questions and Answers] Idontknowmyusernamek:
Easy

I've had this before. It's basically an app. Except it's white and without a name so it's harder to find. Install a 3rd party installed apps list and you should find something white. Press on it and Uninstall it. Boom. Problem solved.

Unless if you're rooted, this may be a virus hidden deep in the system (not very commonly)

Not sure it could help, but have you tried installing a system-wide adblock app such as AdBlock from NoMobileAds? Here: https://nomobileads.com/
[General Questions and Answers] PICKLEFLONG:
I have an app called "hidden apps." This is what i used to find a hidden app that kept throwing ads all over my phone and i was able to delete it
[General Questions and Answers] rahulbanerjee1992:
Goto your installed apps list, and check for all the app names. Malwares such as these have no names listed, so you should ideally be seeing a blank space in one of the apps, if you do see such an app, just uninstall it, and you should be good to go.

If you find no such app, then search for an app which has a peculiar name that you suspect.

I have had this same thing happen to me. I gave an app superuser access by mistake, and it kept doing this. I went to the app list, and found an app with no name listed. I uninstalled it, and everything went back to normal. Hope this helps.

For any reason, if you do not find a solution to this, flashing a new ROM will take care of this issue as all app data would be deleted. But this shouldn't be needed at all. Hope this helps. :good:
[General Questions and Answers] Playa Cat:
Just moved from T-Mobile Samsung Note 5 to Note 8. Only have a small number of my old programs moved over by SmartSwitch. Now, however, no matter what app I try to click on, about half the time I'm first presented with one or more pages of ads. I have to kill the app and restart it to get to it. This is being managed by something called appnews, which uses every facet of the phone, from monitoring contacts & email to embedding 1x1 transparent blocks on app screens, checking GPS and cell tower metadata to embedding itself in other apps (some apps even embed it intentionally for a payment) to gather info about me. Last night, my phone was charging and in hibernate mode when it woke up and gave me a strange ring at 3:00 AM. I picked up the phone and before I could even unlock it, a screen full of ads appeared.

My Note 5 was rooted, but I just got word that SafeSwitch is now available for the Note 8 (T-Mobile began locking bootloaders with the Galaxy S7, damn their hearts - friendly rooting was a major reason I switched from Verizon to T-Mobile). Will rooting give me access to appnews or do I have to root and load a custom kernel? EU members can opt out of appnews (there's a link in their EULA), but in no-privacy US, they don't offer the option.
[General Questions and Answers] Brian7k:
I agree I'm pretty good at figuring out things like this and I have disabled and deleted what I believe were the apps/rouge apps doing this. It worked for a month or two and their back but I can't find them so they must be hidden within the rom or someplace I have no root access. I'm with you in believing this is manufactured malware and it's a shame they can get away with this.
[General Questions and Answers] rexx123456:
Yes... this absolutely is malware that is built into a custom ROM

The phones are being shipped with a bad custom ROM that contains malware or adware there is no way to completely stop it. Especially when it comes to the pop up full screen ads. Also note that the security software in Android is not being updated properly, because the custom ROM has a fake updater app that doesn't get you any real updates.

The malware is built into the custom ROM that someone has flash to these phones. People are complaining that this happens to them with replacement phones that they get from Assurance Wireless not the original phone that they got in the first place.

There is no way to restore the original ROM because there are no copies of it online. So phones that have this problem are completely useless as they may also have some kind of spyware, keylogger or screenshot program that is recording what you do. I would stop using this phone altogether if I were you.

I just bought mine from eBay and I'm going to contact the seller to request a refund and I will send screenshots of the problem and pages from the forums that I have visited that talk about this problem as proof that this is a bad device.

Remember that the updater app is fake it is not the real one that is built into Android to check for updates and it is only getting 4 out of 60 updates available which means that the security in the phone is completely compromised so that the malware cannot be automatically disabled or deleted by the security updates.
