Now, first thing first I am definitely not a blogger so I don’t know how to write articles etc. but I always want to share my thoughts and sake of Christmas spirit hell yeah, I am writing this.

So, it starts from childhood, the starting line of everything. My childhood is pretty average and my parents and this amazing wonderful world (in child’s eye) thought us nobody does anything for free specially favors. In some cases, it may not seem like, but there is always reason behind every favor you got from anybody in your entire life and that is how world works. This is hard coded in our brain by evolution.

So, after figuring this out, it become hard to believe in anybody who does amazing things just for us without expecting anything. that’s why it is hard to believe in Santa clause. really, who does that, give us gifts fulfilling wishes just for being nice and a glass of milk and cookie. I don’t think so.

Everybody knows there is no actual Santa Claus but still, we celebrate Christmas. Why, wait the big question is for whom? Who made this possible, putting us into full Christmas spirit mode. I can only imagine our beloved Santa can do that. Wait so is there a Santa or not.

Yes, there is, not one but thousands if not millions Santa’s operating undercover hidden behind aliases of parents, relative, friends and making Christmas possible every year.

And that’s not it, there are more and one of them are our precious developers, making unimaginable things possible. Their service is not limited to Christmas or another festival season. They work all year around fulfilling our wish lists. Spending hours doing hard work just to make our life easier, solving problems, presenting gifts. All this without expecting nothing more than a coffee or snack.

There is a Santa more than one, hidden behind every developer.

Santa clause is important, but these peoples are more important who made Christmas possible. And now it’s our turn to become Santa for them.

So, at this Christmas I want you to become Santa for your favorite developer and made their Christmas special than ever before by donation or however you like.

I know I used word Santa a lot and it is confusing but I guess I am sorry about that English is not my first language.

1.	Why I wrote this article?

Because I want to inspire people, like Saint Nicolas did. So, become generous be thankful to everyone who made your life easier.

2.	What is my inspiration behind this?

Just few hours ago an amazing developer, helped me and compiled a test version of an xposed module just for me. The public version was not working for me, I can’t believe that he did it on same day I did not even asked for it. I don’t know about you but this made my Christmas 10 times special.

Thanks a lot, you are amazing! I have not mentioned his name but guess if he is reading this he knows, and that’s all I want.

So, stay sweet this Christmas, become generous, become Santa

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] uuuyep:
Hola to everyone

I'm new here, and I most say I have been reading around and it is a great forum :). I also got a HTC TyTN II, and installed the HTC Touch Keyboard... it works fine!

However I don't have a clue about how to dissable the bar just on top of the keyboard... it shows up suggesting some words while I am typing but dont know how to handle it...

How to get rid of that letter sugestion bar? Or how does it works? Is there kind of help about that in some thread here?

Thanks in advance for your help...

It's going to be a LONG road if you don't learn to search and read, my friend.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ghostie:
In the interest of good will........

Try looking under settings, input, word completion.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DaveShaw:
I second what grizley said.

Try looking for a disable xt9 cab. This disables the suggestion above the keyboard.

The suggest as you type is in Input settings.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] uuuyep:
Hi guys

Thanks,

Sorry if I said something obvious... (Im really getting use of Windows Mobile environment, I used to have a Nokia with symbian) When I posted here it was becuase it was already driving me crazy taping here and there for more than one hour (I like the riddles but...) I had no results. I was trying all kind of things in Imput (the up arrow)>options... but nothing worked to get rid of the suggestion bar, at least not in HTC Touch keyboard. In the TouchPal it was easy, it has its own options to solve this things.

I was trying in Settings>Imput and unchecking word completion, for instance, as suggested here... I also changed the language to mine (spanish) does not work yet, and the HTC Touch keyboard is now kinda frozen: means I push the letters and they do not react (nunbers do). I soft reseted, and the problem is still there. Next step: I will uninstall HTC Keyboard, and then (maybe) install it again. Anyway, Touchpal seems to be a easier and handier keyboard...

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] th34monk3ys:
Hey,

I have Honor 9 version STF-L09C432B100, I have looked on the forum, and can see you can get Oreo updates since 5th / 11th Dec.

I saw you can get updated firmware from Firmware finder, I saw the latest 180 build, however checking this with imei, shows that is is not ready for my device.

2 questions

1. is it safe to get firmware like this?

2. Am I seeing this due to buying from Three (uk)?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ante0:
It's safe, but if you're not approved it won't install through Firmware Finder.

But FYI this is the Mate 9 forum, not Honor 9.
[LG Optimus G Pro] facepalm5:
I've spent a bunch of time trying to understand why the modem in a particular E980 doesn't work in Cyanogenmod 12. Others should benefit from my efforts.

Searching reveals several posts about the modem issue, but quite a few of the responses are either links or references that require significant background to understand.

The community consensus is that one must flash "madmack's modem" when using CM with the E980 & variants. Without it, many phones can't enter deep sleep and thus drain the battery. Others can't use the modem at all.

(Madmack's modem post: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2430456)

(Current source of CyanogenMod 12.1: http://www.cyanogenmodroms.com/2014/01/cyanogenmod-rom-lg-optimus-g-pro.html)

"Madmack's modem" is the image for the BM9615A-CEFWMAZM-3.0.113012. Some users had a driver for a CM9615A[...] variant instead. For those users, flashing the BM9615A driver allowed the phone to go into deep sleep. Hooray!

---

Unfortunately, other E980 owners have a completely different modem: the APQ8064/MDM 9x15M. In this case, flashing the BM9615A file doesn't help.

If your modem appeared as an APQ8064/MDM9x15M on stock, it appears as the BM9615A upon flashing CM12. Unfortunately, its still an APQ8064 on the inside. This makes it seem like CM 12.1 is hard-coded to the BM9615A modem. When CM tries to speak BM9615A-ese to an APQ8064, the result is "No Sim" (or rather intermittently detecting and dropping the SIM).

Flashing the BM9615A image on an APQ8064 doesn't help -- the modem can't understand itself. CM and the modem firmware may speak the same language, but the image that runs the modem isn't right for the hardware.

At least, thats what I think is happening. I would appreciate it if someone with experience could please let me know if my understanding is incorrect.

Until someone finds a way around this, those people whose modem is APQ8064/MDM9x15M on stock may want to hold off on trying the available roms. Most are based on CyanogenMod and thus can be expected to have the same problem.

I wrote this post both to consolidate information and to ask for help. Does anyone have a way of getting an E980 with a APQ8064/MDM9x15M to work with CM 12.1?

(Note: Tried Emmanuel's wild kernel. Didn't help.)
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
No custom ROM changes (or should change) change your modem firmware, so neither should you unless told to do for your variant.

That specific modem was for AT&T variant of G Pro and many people who upgraded to stock kitkat and then tried to flash anything else, required it. No other variant should ever use that modem - if the need arises, just reflash back to last available jellybean stock firmware.

If you have deep sleep issues on any other variant but E980, just revert your phone to stock jellybean and flash whatever you want. Never had any modem-related deep sleep issues with Jellybean base, while with kitkat base there were some issues in KK roms, but not later... that I remember. I've used E988, built ROMs and kernels for it so I should kind of know :D

No SIM issues were solved later in 2015? if I'm not wrong. It was just a change in LGE RIL subclass, required after cyanogenmod updated their telephony framework.
[LG Optimus G Pro] facepalm5:
Thanks for the reply.

I guess I'm not understanding things well. How would one change the LGE RIL subclass appropriately, assuming a move from stock JB to CM 12.1 without any modem flashing?
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
Which CM build are you trying to use?
[LG Optimus G Pro] facepalm5:
This one: http://www.cyanogenmodroms.com/2014/01/cyanogenmod-rom-lg-optimus-g-pro.html
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
October of 2016? I'm pretty sure there were no 5.1.1 builds for e980 back then. Can you try SlimLP from my downloads? That's a build from February 2016.
[LG Optimus G Pro] facepalm5:
Thanks. That does seem to make the SIM work, but with a couple of quirks.

Tapping "build number" repeatedly doesn't activate developer options. Has this been moved?

Also, the usual root method seems to be disallowed and SuperSU disappears after being installed.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
SuperSU should be available via Settings menu (if something hasn't changed with newer versions) and Developer mode is on by default if I remember correctly, if not, taping on build number 7 times should tell you 'you're a developer now' and enable it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] facepalm5:
Intended a direct reply. See below.
[LG Optimus G Pro] facepalm5:
Thank you for your reply and the work that you have put into making this device usable.

Developer mode normally lives under Settings-> System. The Feb 6 2016 SlimLP build includes "Date & Time", Accessibility, Printing, Kernel Auditor, Check for Updates and About Phone.

Was developer mode moved somewhere else?

Naturally, I've tried tapping "build number" many times. I don't get the usual "almost a developer" and "you are now a developer" response sequence.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
It should be somewhere near the end of settings menu, nowhere else. I guess something got borked somehow, so you may want to reboot.

P.S. Use SlimLP build from 16.02.2016, it has some new things fixed, and refflash rebuilt kernel I've mentioned in SlimLP post.
[LG Optimus G Pro] facepalm5:
Thanks. I'll give it a try, but let me make sure that I understand which one. There are two mirrors on the EOL thread: basketbuild & androidfilehost.

The newest build on basketbuild is 02072016. Androidfilehost has a 021816, however there is a note in the EOL thread that 021916 shouls be deleted because it doesn't work. Is that the same as 021816 or is 021616 really the same as 021616?
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
Sorry, I totally forgot that my mirrors are a bit different.

You should use this one (md5sum, it's the last stable build. Don't let date scheming confuse you, I've used kind of weird build system because my machine isn't as powerful as it's needed and builds sometimes take up to two days... nightmare. Later just flash kernel mentioned in the op over after the flash.

EDIT: You may want to drop SuperSU now or use some older version (before acquisition) and freeze it from updating.
[LG Optimus G Pro] facepalm5:
Thanks.

The core items seem to be OK. I noticed a few odd items within the build. Since its been on an advertising host, I'd like to confirm that the file which you uploaded hasn't been modified. Could you please share your sha256 sum (md5 has been retired for a while now) for Slim-e980-5.1.1.beta.0.15-UNOFFICIAL-20160218.zip from your own hard drive?
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
Sorry, I had two hard drive failures in last year and a half so only copies I have are uploaded to AFH with their original MD5 sums (sum which site shows you is sum they are generating after upload; sum I've linked you is sum generated after file was created). You can compare these two if you need some reassurance, but files are uploaded by me and were used by me, too, so should be no issues if no server-side corruption happened.
[LG Optimus G Pro] t3chwizard:
I can confirm the builds he has uploaded work for me, including the kernel fix for LMK which he posted this past year. ROM runs great
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] wilburblin:
Hey guys,

If this is a duplicate please let me know, but I personally didn't find any information here before I tried a few methods to make these work.

Make Gmail Work

Convert the following apps to system apps:

Gmail

Google Play Services

Google Services Framework

Make Google Contacts Work

Disable Amazon's default contact app.

Install Google Contacts and convert it to system apps.

Download Google Contacts Sync (remember to download version 5.x for api level 22), install, and make it system.

Wipe app cache / data if needed.

Both apps mostly works, Gmail still crashes occasionally, but WAY better than before and is now usable. Edit: Gmail failed after rebooting and did not work again after that short, sweet, few minutes of working... But Contacts work pretty well.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] wilburblin:
Going through logs, looks like it's Amazon's download manager causing the crash. If anyone knows where to find a replaceable download manager let me know! Google's only supports 7.1 and up.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Zeljko1234:
Good catch! Have you tried apkmirror? What's the namw of the Google's download​manager? I have older lg tablet(android 5.1.1) , maybe that one will work.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] mistermojorizin:
I've been running contacts for a few days now, converting to system and wiping cache isn't necessary, in my experience. I can't get gmail working stable for the life of me though. I read some discussions that said the reason why it fails is because it has a permission to auto download without a prompt (for attachments) and that Fire OS has a problem with that. I've tried running older versions of gmail, and I've rebuilt gmail with the download activity removed, tried converting gmail to system and to priv-app. No luck.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] mistermojorizin:
I got gmail working. It's a user app and I used appsettings module v1.15 for xposed to set orientation to force autorotate. I don't know why it worked, but it's survived many reboots now. I have all the google services installed and the Amazon email app is installed but I'm deep hibernation via rom toolbox. Hope this helps
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] hoofoo:
Can you try sending yourself an email with an image and then try to open that image in gmail?

Gmail works fine for me on the Fire 10 2017 apart from crashing when opening images.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] oscarcx:
I tried to show the picture and it didn't crash. I tried the force autorotate method but failed for a few times. Then I chose not to show the picture automatically (&force autorotate) and it worked, at least for now.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] mistermojorizin:
Here's my experience: an embedded image is fine, an image as an attachment will crash it. i messed with this for a while, couldn't get it to work, and went back to 9folders email. It makes sense, since from what I read, the reason it crashes is because it doesn't get permissions to download attachments (because of a signature problem between gmail and download manager). I think someone already tried to replace the download manager with a google signed one and the result was a bootloop. I wonder if there is any way to give gmail root rights, so that it gets all of the permissions. Or to sign gmail with the same signature as our download manager.

Would anyone help get this compiled and signed? Or explain what I've done wrong with it?

Thank you :)
[General Questions and Answers] Ibuprophen:
I took a quick look and knew exactly what you had done wrong...

What you had done was decompressed the app, made changes and then compressed it back up and tried to sign it.

What you should have done was decompile it with a program like the following and recompile it using the same program.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3333960

Just doing it the way you had done will never work because of the smali Java files that are encoded in the app and using a program for decompiling will reverse engineer the app.

I can't help you do the work but, at least I can help guide you somewhere for you to be able to do some homework to accomplish this so you will know what you need to do in the future.

I wish you the best of luck!

[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] PeterGuru:
Please forgive my ignorance. I think I got everything done properly. I just don't know what you mean by the above statement.

Normally, if I flash a new recovery in fastboot, I use the phrase fastboot flash recovery xxxx.img

What phrase do I use to flash the new logo.bin file?

Thanks,

Peter

P.S. Where on my OP5T is the original logo.bin file located?

P.P.S. I believe I found my logo.bin file; however, it appears I made some kind of mistake and now I simply have a black splash screen, and nothing I do gets the default splash screen back, including Nandroid restore. It always remains black. Does anyone have an original OP5T logo.bin file they can give me to download? Also, the file I found is called LOGO, not logo.bin. It's in the following directory:

/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/

P.P.S. I also believe I found the right command in fastboot. Is this the command to flash the logo.bin file:

fastboot flash LOGO logo.bin ???
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] RajGopi:
Try this one, flash in recovery just like any flashable zip

Let me know if you still want stock logo

Yes, fastboot flash LOGO logo.bin
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] makers_mark:
Thanks for the question, but 49 out of 50 times I do not have the device that I am working with. When you use fastboot program, you flash `x` partition with `y` file.

It doesn't matter what `y` is, but `x` is the name of the particular partition that is case sensitive. You can rename `y` whatever you want. It is hard to find partition dumps or names, so I can not worry about what the actual partition name is for a particular device. I could of asked [MENTION=5804825]RajGopi[/MENTION] when he tested, but I did not. With nearing 9 million people on XDA, I will gladly let people do their own research or what not before flashing anything for unsaid reasons which others will understand unsaid. In the past I have guided people to this thread. But thank you for wanting more clarification on the actual command with fastboot, I will include it in the post since this program is made specifically for the OP5t.
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] PeterGuru:
