Hi All (especially mods).
I find i really hard to separate the topics that belong in Android General and Android QA forums. The first sticky in the General says that you should not post questions in that forum. How the h...l are we suppose to discuss issues and general topics without posting questions? Is the General forum meant to bee a pure information channel where wise people can share their wisdom, but not bee debated or questioned?
I think that the segmentation caused by all this QA forums (all over XDA) just makes it harder for people to find information, not easier. And that will again lead to more flaming of people that don't use search, or try to search but don't find useful information.
It seems to me that the mods spends a lot of time moving threads and "shouting" about the QA forums. Well, has it strike the mods that the reason for all this "miss posting" is in fact the we (at leas I) find it hard to decide which forum to post in?
Most of the top notch tech experts does not hang around in the QA forum either, so the chance of getting a really qualified answer (an not only a best guess by a senior member) seems pretty low.
And, no. This post is not a question!
Ahh, that felt good
Really... what?
Sooo first thing is first, you're saying that you want to discuss issues and topics in question threads? Okie.... well last i checked you can post anything in a thread, as long as it follows the constraints of the forum. It seems though what you're trying to say is that the amount of support/replies is lower in the Q&A than the general hence, why you're saying disscussion is limited in the Q&A. That is understandable, and frankly, it is a fact, however I think most general issues are already sorted out and can be found with a search, no need to question people again for a solution.
I don't think it's all that hard to find information since "search" is my best friend. Need help with a specific build, search that thread, need help with android overall search the forum/s. A little time doesn't kill and helps make you independent atleast.
If it's a question it goes into the Q&A forum, hence Q&A. If it's a discussion/debate/just about android but not a question, then it's goes into the general discussion, easy as that.

I saw couple question marks (?) in your post, but then you said your post is not a question.
Let make it simple, Q&A forum the thread tittle must end with question mark (?), and the other should end without one.

Why even bother? Don't post in a thread just to get posts, and don't post in threads unrelated to your issue. There really is no point.

while using android os loaded from SD card on HTC Touch Pro2,every time when I push the lock key,my cell phone signal broke ,what is the problem??

Trying to ask question
Not sure if Im doing this right. Im a never & wanted to ask a question in reference to the thread about downloading beats. Wanted to know if just downloading & extracting the file would give me access to beats? Thanks.

Hi all !
I am new here and as i used to read XDA threads to complete my knowledge and follow Faryaab for the super nexus rom.
There is something i don't understand : if i want to post in the developpment part (Super Nexus 2.0 thread for me) i need to have had posted 10 messages. I want to report a bug to help the developper but because of the rules i would have to post 10 messages anywhere before posting in the development part... But that's stupid and i don't want to do this..
So ?
Thanks
(I am French so i apologize for my english)
So you can post in 10 threads (but don't spam) or PM the developer.
But that's stupid and i don't want to do this..

Also, I am taking online classes and need to beable to access the mymathlab flash site application and am unable to do so on my tablet through any browser. If anyone could help me with that too, I would be incredibly greatful.
Thanks so much.

Hum you're right if the noob is enough stupid to post 10msg in the same thread But stupid is just what a noob is so you should be right
Don't know how to mark the thread as resolved ..
You should seek your phone and then find a ROM using the Android version you want no ?

Hello, first of all, forgive me if I'm in the wrong forum section; I'm sorta new here, and this is my first topic.
Second of all, I'm not an experienced android programmer and I'm also a teenager, so sorry if I sound like a noob; dont expect me to know all that you guys suggest. Also I have some basic experience with Java coding. (sorry if this is all off-topic but just giving a heads-up and letting you know so that you can maybe change your answers a bit so I can understand)
But ANYWAY, what I'm trying to do this for is to eventually port cyanogenmod to my device.
I currently cannot post links because I'm new here; look up "building android from source", and it should say "Getting Started: building android from source" at the fifth link from the top (xda-university).
I'm stuck at "installing repo and syncing".
What url should I put in "URL to android manifest"? (And yes, I am using Terminal in an Ubuntu VM) And now that I think of it, it should be some link of cyanogenmod but my device isn't supported; no repository for my phone. Correct me if I'm wrong. If it helps, my phone is a Samsung Galaxy Admire 4G (SCH-R820).
Again, sorry if I sound like such a noob, it's probably because I am.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
EDIT: Sorry, just found out I was in the wrong forum section, can someone delete this thread or show me how to do so? thanks...

Here you go* I found this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RpQyEmgFco
It is actually made specifically for the D620R. Vibration and NFC is not working and the camera is overexposed and LTE has to be turned on in a specific way. I cannot say much as I have'nt used the device, but I think that there is no cyanogemmod released for your device. Good luck!*

Hello,
I have just done a factory reset to my Note 3 (SM-N9005) and signed in with a new google account, and when I went to the Play Store I couldn't see any apps under the my apps menu. It's like my pre-installed apps are not detected by the play store under my apps, yet if I went to the specific page of the app (like gmail or evernote) it shows that the app is installed and it gives me the update button. Also if I install an app from an APK file (like buzzfeed and ccleaner) they will have the same problem.
this is what I tried:-
1- I did multiple factory reset to my device.
2- I revoked my device's access to my account and signed in again
3- I revoked the access of the other account to my device.
4- I reviewed my Google account settings across all the products that I use and I couldn't find any thing (to my knowledge) that might cause this problem.
5- I tried to stop the Google Play Services and then turning it back on and tried to clean it's storage.
6- sync app data from my account
7- I created a new account and it had the same problems
To me it seems like the problem is my google account wont allow Google Play Services to sync correctly but I don't know what settings I should change in my google account to fix this. ( or maybe not, you are the experts )
Rom question for Note 3 sm-n900p
Hi,
I am trying to flash a ROM for the Note 3 that is based on the Galaxy S5 port. When I flash it, the ROM seems to be working properly, however it never connects to my mobile network. The Wifi works but I can't send/receive texts or anything of the sort. Any idea on why this may be or how I can fix it?
Thanks in advance

Well you have'nt provided any details about this problem. Anyways you should go and contact the developer and tell him about this bug and he will work on fixing it. And is any other user using your device faced this problem? Just go and check it on the thread where you found the rom from.

Hi, I know this isn't the right thread, but its the closest I can get to having my question answered.
So basically I have a DROID RAZR HD XT926 rooted, with android 4.4.2, kernel version 3.4.42 and system version 182.46.10 which is downgraded using instructions from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr-hd/general/root-droid-razr-hd-xt926-183-46-15-t3062040
So what I want to do is unlock my bootloader. I have been trying for a few days and searched many forums but with no success. I didn't find any other method other than using motopocalypse. I have tried using the apk version from my phone and the app says bootloader is unlocked but when I check in fastboot mode it says device is locked and status code 0. When I use the pc method ( I have windows 10) it just shows daemon started successfully... and then u nothing.
If anyone could provide any assistance I would really appreciate it.

If there is, no one has discovered it yet. Most developers have given up and moved on to newer devices, so finding a way to unlock the bootloader is effectively impossible.
Help updating an old XT926
Hi
I have an ex-Verizon XT926, although I am in the UK. When I first got it I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader (and changed some obscure setting so that it would potentially work on GSM in the US). But I never actually updated the ROM or took any OTA. So it is still on Android 4.1.2, 9.16.6.XT926.Verizon.en.US.
Although I'm being offered 9.18.79.en.US OTA, it won't successfully take that (presumably because I've rooted it, or because it doesn't like the version of TWRP I have installed).
I've spent some time googling/searching, but as the version-relevant threads are pretty old now, it all gets a bit confusing.
What I'd like to do is to upgrade to Marshmallow, if a reasonable version exists for this phone. Is it essentially as simple as finding a suitable ROM and installing it from the SD card using ROM Manager? Or via TWRP? Do I need to worry about what version of TWRP I have installed?

You cannot install updates unless full stock
You will need to flash a official (xml.zip) firmware with RSD Lite

latest official rom is Kitkat 4.4.2,
Marshmallow may available in a custom rom like CyanogenMod 13 (cm13)

I wouldn't use Rom Manager, Twrp version does matter, find a rom you would like to try, then ask in the rom ask in the Rom thread which TWRP version works best.
You will most likely need the Kitkat bootloader
I would just flash a official kitkat 4.4.2 (xml.zip) firmware with RSD Lite

are you installing gapps too, if so what version?
Sent from my XT1060 using XDA Labs
I used the cyanogenmod app to download cm12 and the Gapps nano package for cm12. Also tried cm11 with and without its corresponding Gapps...just hangs on the duel core logo, cm12 hangs on the blue alien logo? Should I factory reset? Or will I lose my cm downloads and be screwed? Thanks for the assist
Solution to my problem was to wipe internal storage,dalvic cache,system data and cache, the went great I have cm12.1 running smooth all gapps from nano package running well. Thanks for the help, cm12.1 is really nice.
Hello,
Thanks to many threads here I was able to fix my non so well working xt925 and installed a working CM 13, but right now I face a little issue :
Everything works fine (android, apps, ...), but when I restart the phone, instead of following the restart I ask it always goes into fastboot.
I can force reboot recovery, normal, whatever, it goes to fastboot.
I have then to type fastboot continue, or to reset into bootloader to hit the command Normal powerup to start launching android.
I haven't found much info about this as everytime I looked for it, I only got people stucked onto fastboot with broken recovery/os.
I am with a jellybean bootloader.
EDIT : I actually found the solution, get into fastboot mode, and type fastboot oem fb_mode_clear. The device will then restart normally. I guess I hit factory mode at some point in my previous operations. Sorry for the useless question.

No custom ROMs work?
I have an XT925 with an unlocked bootloader and it was stuck in AP fastboot mode for some time before I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP recovery 2.8.6.0. RSD Lite still won't flash 4.0.4 or 4.1.2 and just returns:
Code:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
I can however flash stock 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 ROMs to my Razr HD using the Razr HD Toolkit (thread here), and flash a modified Canadian 4.4.2 OTA (from here) using RSD Lite.
For some reason though, no custom ROMs work. Many others (such as PACMAN) were hosted on GOO.IM or some other dead site (such as the unofficial Resurrection Remix), so they were impossible to download. I've only tried Dirty Unicorns, MIUI, CM11, CM12.1 and SlimKat, and only Dirty Unicorns could get to the boot animation. All other ROMs don't boot past the Unlocked Bootloader Warning screen (which has now been replaced with a Motorola Dual Core Technology one).
Any ideas?

Assalam o Alaikum!
I have moto xt926. It was working fine but now it's not accepting Sim Card. But sometimes it Accept Sim Card.
In Morning when i Turn ON my mobile sometimes sim works. But after 5 or 4 minutes it disappears automatically. Mobile phone is Rooted. I Rooted Phone 6 months ago but this problem came just a month ago.
How can i check that this is problem of hardware or Software?
( Sorry for Bad English)
Here are some Screenshots of my mobile while working sim card in Morning and then it disappearing.
I did Flash firmware after this problem but nothing changed.
Help me I'm very upset. I can't afford another mobile.
That's all .
:crying:
I have been into installing custom ROMs and rooting Android for many years now, used many mid range Android devices, never tried to build one from source (did not have good enough hardware or broadband), now I have got both and want to try building ROM from source and got many questions, any help would be appreciated.
Important questions:(Need these answers before I start downloading Repos)
Is it possible to create any Android version Rom for any device? like I used to have Moto G2, if I can get it's source code, can I build Android 11 Rom for it? or am I missing something here?
I own Realme 5 Pro now, if I build Android 11 and flash it, is there any chance it could hard brick my device?
If I'd built Android 11 for R5 Pro, how would I know it's for my device? can I flash that firmware on another device? or vice versa? I know that flashing other device firmware can hard brick your device.
What are the chances of getting bugs after flashing? like ril not working, or maybe settings wont open, camera wont work etc. and how can I fix them for my specific device?
How can I ensure that the specific build only works for R5 Pro and not other device? like do I have to sign it with specific code or anything like that? any idea?
Not so important questions:(You can answer it if u know)
How much download is necessary to build from source? If u have built, is there any specific download size or different for specific devices?
Also if I want to build TWRP recovery for R5 Pro from scratch how would I go about doing that? and what about giving it a different theme style?
How long will it take for my specs pc to build? any estimated idea? (specs: 16gb ddr4 3600mhz ram, Ryzen R5 3700x, Nvidia 2060 Super, and lots of space)
Can I build this Rom to be flashed via recovery or is it has to be fastboot specific?
Can I build Android Kitkat or something old for newer devices?
So these are the initial questions that comes to my mind, I am posting this thread on some diff forums too, if u have any experience regarding this please do share, any help is appreciated, Thank you.
