For some reason I can't install the latest cm10.1 nightly for my att galaxy s3, I cant only get up to RC2 (cm-10.1.0-RC2-d2att.zip ), I am getting status 7 errors in TWRP with anything newer than that. I even installed the latest gapps from goo.im. Any suggestions?

You have to update the firmware on your device because you're still on ICS firmware. CM10.1 made it mandatory because I guess the old firmware breaks poo poo. You'll have to browse around XDA for the firmware or flash back to stock.

Can I use twrp to flash back to stock or do I have to go back on odin?


edit: Nvm odin is needed, I found the xda post for the recovery, hotfile is so slow...

The Lite (free) version of Light Flow supports less apps than the paid version, maybe you have the wrong one installed?

What are some of the everything? I'll admit I only used LightFlow for Talk, Twitter, SMS, Calendar, and Phone but if they were there before there's no reason they wouldn't be there now.

I can't get the latest CM 10.1 nightly (or RC2 even) to connect via BT to the headunit in my car. Stock 4.2.2 works fine.

Is there any rhyme or reason to this? Can I remove the bluetooth drivers, or whatever, from stock 4.2.2 and roll my own CM10.1 build?

This is on a Nexus 4.

The lowest volume in CM sounds louder than the highest in the stock ROM
Try toggling the option on, then off again. If you haven't also try changing the volume during a call. There was a past AOSP bug where call volume would reset to default (very high) when actually on the lowest setting at the start of a call.

Got my hands on a HTC One this week, consensus ROM here seems to be TrickDroid I see. On my last phone I enjoyed CM 10.1 nightlies but there's a lot about this iteration of Sense that I'm liking. I can't decide between Android Revolution and Trickdroid, but only really because I can't see a real difference.

They're all pretty similar. I use ARHD, and it's completely stable with a few features I like(quick settings and tethering). Pretty much all of them have feature parity.

There's one that's intriguing for AT&T called CleanROM Developer Edition, which is a stripped down Sense ROM with all AOSP apps except the camera, gallery, contacts, and a couple others. I'll probably try it out later today when I'm done working just to see how it is.

Awesome. I'm in that phase of a new phone where I'm just loving around with it constantly so I'll give ARHD a go at some point I imagine. Just installing TrickDroid, I'll see how that is first.

I'm using Renovate on my HTC One. Highly recommended.

quote:

We are using google code to host our ROM project. This means you can
stay up to date with the ROM change by change. If you can't wait for the official
releases this lets you download the rom the minute we make a change to it.
It also stops you needing to download the full 800mb ROM every time, as it
downloads only the changed files for that particular revision.

I also like that it offers an "Update only" option in AROMA so you can upgrade the rom without losing any customizations.

As a warning, RC3 is botched for non-Qualcomm devices. It's a libm optimization for Krait that doesn't play well with others.

It's not fatal, buf if you have no particular compelling reason to update to RC3 might want to sit this one out.

The issue I've seen with CM since 5/17, including RC3, is that the changes they made to the led don't play well with light flow. I get the default white a lot, and it picks up the color after screen on/off cycling.

Does this happen for anyone else?

I make a nandroid backup in CWM and copy it to my pc.
I wiped device to test out another rom but didn't like it so I copy the nandroid back to /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backups and do the restore.

The restore goes through fine but when connecting phone to pc and viewing internal storage, all of the default folders like DCIM, downloads, Pictures etc are not at the root - they're in another folder called "0". Root instead hs a bunch of other folders I don't normally see in Internal Storage.

This happens with every nandroid backup since 6.3.0.1 and whilst the phone workls fine, I can't stand the fact the folder structure is now mismatched to how it is after a clean flash :argh:

It might be an HTC bug, but you can build the most recent CWR here. (The One is the M7 if you weren't aware.)

Why are you moving the backup off the phone though? You shouldn't have to do that.

Is there a reason? You only have to wipe /system and /data to change ROMs. The cache and Dalvik will automatically rebuild and there's absolutely no reason to wipe your internal storage ever.

Yeah I keep getting tempted to try this again but the last time I tried it was a complete disaster.

I wish it would just install and then let you decide which apps to change to other layouts. It randomly changed a bunch of my apps to tablet or phablet mode and I could't find any simple way to just put them all back to default.

What I want from PA is the nice tweaks like Halo, plus the option to change layouts for apps that have weird defaults (especially on the N7).

Halp. I rooted my first-gen Kindle Fire to Ice Cream Sandwich a year or so ago. I stopped using the KF because it was so heavy. I bought a new Windows 7 Home laptop, one that had never had the official Kindle Fire device driver, and reflashed the Fire to Jelly Bean. Then I discovered I can't mount the Fire because I don't have the Kindle Fire device driver.

I can't get a working Windows 7 device driver for the Kindle Fire. Amazon doesn't provide a separate download -- the first time you plug in a KF (running the original OS, obviously) it installs the driver. I've installed Java 6 and the ADT bundle, because there's supposed to be an appropriate USB device driver there. See Android docs. Unfortunately, there's a known bug in the SDK installation that's been there for three years now.

I've been installing and uninstalling and reinstalling things for a day and a half now. Before I go any further down the wormhole, does anybody know a source to download the Amazon Kindle Fire device driver? From the heart of Hell I weep at thee.

The newest PA's have a much better DPI app that has base settings for all apps, Phone/Phablet/Tablet. It still does what it wants to the first time you boot it but the option to make a sweeping change is there now.

I'd run the KFU installer, but it turned out I had an out-of-date version. Now I'm working through the troubleshooting guide here to figure out why it still isn't mounting. I may yet have to create a Linux USB boot stick and run soupkit.

Sigh.

Hey, I'm interested in rooting my HTC One for playing around with customization and root-only apps, but I've not waded into rooting phones before. I have some experience with this kind of thing, having hacked my PSP years ago, but this scene seems much more complicated.

I'm reading that HTC provides an official way to unlock the bootloader. Is this what I'm looking for, or is it just a beginning step to being able to run unofficial apps.

edit: I just found a really good guide (http://www.htconeroot.com)

Holy COW.
Getting a Kindle Fire first-gen to support ADB on Cyanogenmod 10.1 or later is a nightmare and a half.


1. Install drivers -- see instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179748 . On Windows 8, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185402
2. On Kindle, enable developer settings: go into About Tablet and tap "Build Number" 4 times in succession rapidly.
3. On Kindle, go to Settings menu and click "{} Developer Options"
4. Under Developer Options, click "Android Debugging".
5. On laptop, wait for messages about "Installing drivers" to complete.
6. Turn Kindle on again. "Allow USB Debugging?" pop-up appears. Click OK.


And now, lucky owner, you can run ADB.

e: oh, to Hell with the syntax.
