Hi,
I messed up when I wanted to install a new ROM. I Can't exactly remember what i did!! Now, I'm stuck in this mode. The only option that could help me is "apply from sd card". What do I have to copy on my sd card in order to get it back to life?? Thanks for your help.

[Q] Most recommended Android dev books? topic

Hi,

I'm looking for some complete Android programming books, especially they should provide:
- Fresh informations (regarding to Android 5 api for example)
- Android Studio and not Eclipse as IDE for all applications, example projets etc, especially Gradle configuration, IDE configuration etc.
- Solid and complete informations about all aspects and all apis, and gui (including material design and all latest Lollipop changes).
- Complete guide, from easy things for beginners to advanced aspects

I've already done some research, however I can't find any interesting item to fit my requirments. No Android 5 informations (programming for Android 4 only), always Eclipse as IDE, no Android Studio etc. Do you have any tips for me what to choose for buy?

[Q] Question on Android version topic

Hi,

I'm currently running on Paranoid Android 4.6 beta 5 and would like to move to Android Revolution since I'd like to get MHL functionality.

I am currently on Android 4.4.4, so my question is if the Android Revolution ROM (which runs on 4.3 Jelly Bean) will work on 4.4.4, or if I need to downgrade (if that's possible) the Android version first.

Thanks.

[Q] Note 4 ~ Android 5.0 ~ Touchwiz topic

Okay first of all, I have only made one ROM ever, so I am not the brightest on this subject. My question though is for a Dev that is fairly smart. Would it be possible for those itching to have lollipop on their Note 4, but who don't want to lose Touchwiz features, to install the international Note 3 5.0 ROM on their Note 4 if a Dev would port it. If its possible why hasn't some talented dev( because there are several here) ported it yet. I know the structure would be a little different, but I'm thinking it would be entirely possible to port it with some tinkering. Just let me know if I am way off base or if this would be something to really look at.

[Q] Paranoid Android PLEASE topic

I must apologize, I've spent about 3 hours on this forum trying very hard to avoid posting. I am new to flashing a custom rom and I finally decided to go with Paranoid Android because it looks awesome. After 3 hours I have been unable to figure out if that is even possible for my phone, the SM-G900T. I'm very frustrated, and I assume this a very simple yes or no process, but I cannot for the life of me understand why I have been unable to find the answer.

tldr: can I flash Paranoid Android custom rom to my GS5?

Thank you very much.

Hi,

I am trying to upgrade my D855 to the latest UK Open KDZ following the usual flash tool method but my phone never seems to get connected and i think its down to the LGE Android MTP Device Driver Failing to Install.

I upgraded using the same method only a few days ago with no issues so not sure whats happening.

Has anyone experienced this before or know of a workaround?

I dont really want to format the phone unless i have to and not sure it would even make a difference?

5 Best Android lock screen apps P 1/2 topic

Android smartphones allow you to customize nearly everything to fit individual needs and preferences. This includes the lock screen too. Today we’ll show the best Android lock screen replacement apps that have impressive designs and valuable features that will have you getting more out of your lock screen.


Lock screen apps offer an easy way to personalize your Android phone or tablet.

1. Echo Notification Lockscreen

If you're looking for a lightweight app that provides all the essentials right from the get-go, then Echo Notification Lockscreen will likely float your boat. The app displays messages, missed calls and other types of notifications straight from the lock screen, which you can then open by tapping, or dismiss by swiping to the left. Two cool things about the app: you get a camera shortcut to snap some quick photos and it won’t suck your battery dry either. And Echo Notification is also free!


Echo Notification Lockscreen provides you with messages and missed calls on your lock screen.

2. Cover - the smart lock screen

Cover brings context-based information to the lock screen, meaning the right content and settings at the right time. This is reminiscent of Google Now and for the most part works quite similarly. By entering your home address and workplace, the lock screen will know when to switch between private and work mode. Depending on the situation, it shows matching apps as shortcuts. This works because the launcher is capable of learning and adapts to particular usage patterns. In addition to being able to automatically switch between settings and shortcuts, Cover also offers simplified access to recently used apps by swiping downwards from the top screen border.

Cover is in open beta phase and can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store. We already tested the lock screen two months ago and found that even then it made a very good and well-made impression.


Cover offers context-based apps on your Android lock screen to match your habits.

3. Ubuntu Lockscreen

There had been talks about a mobile operating system from Ubuntu called Ubuntu Touch, but it never really caught on. If you still want at least a tiny hint of Ubuntu on your smartphone, you can install the Ubuntu Lockscreen. It has a ring menu that will display notifications, and by swiping from top to bottom, you’ll see date, time and battery status.

Swiping from right to left presents shortcuts to apps which can be set up by the user individually beforehand. On request, a music player can be displayed on the lock screen, since the security options are currently only a password or PIN. So, even when swiping from left to right, the display will remain unlocked. The Ubuntu Lockscreen can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and is free.

4. UnlockYourBrain - vocabulary and math training

On average, we’ll look at our smartphones about 80 times a day. Wouldn’t it make sense to combine these almost subconscious compulsions with something meaningful? UnlockYourBrain is a lockscreen alternative made to keep your brain fit by having you solve math problems and do some vocabulary training.

The vocabulary or math exercises loaded onto the lock screen can naturally be skipped in case you get stumped. The potential found in this lock screen is great though. Repetition is the mother of retention and by constantly viewing vocabulary and calculation methods, this will slowly but surely start to sink in, keeping your brain from turning into mush.

UnlockYourBrain is free and ad-supported, available in the Google Play Store. The premium version can be bought as in-app purchases in various packages.


UnlockYourBrain makes you smarter all while unlocking your phone.

5. DashClock widget

The easiest and most popular way to set up a lock screen is with the use of widgets. One of the most popular in this genre is DashClock Widget because it not only supports extensions but is also be extensively customizable. The widget, which is displayed next to the clock, can be a calendar, appointments, unread messages or when using supported apps, the weather for example.

DashClock Widget can be downloaded for free in the Google Play Store. Setting up and searching for matching extensions can be fun but could also take some time to complete thanks to a huge array of extensions to choose from. You can take a look at an overview in the Play Store by simply searching for the term "DashClock".

Verizon SCH-I545VRUFNK1 Android 5.5 topic

I have the Galaxy S4 from Verizon, updated to VRUFNK1 and now i can't write to my SD card or gain root.

I've been waiting forever for an update to 5.0 Lollipop and talked with Verizon and Samsung and Samsung said 5.0 has been released already by them for the S4 and now the carriers have to ruin it their own way..

I'm wondering who caused the SD card to be unwritable, Google, Samsung, or Verizon?

Can other carrier's Galaxy S4s still write to SD card and gain root?

And can anyone tell me if there's already a 5.0 available for Verizon's S4 that has SDcard access and Root available?

Thanks

[Q] Suggestion for basic Android phone please topic

Hello,

U.S. user here...I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (stuck with ATT) that I absolutely don't like. I'd like a basic android phone that has

• bluetooth


• a removable battery


• will allow me to flash a custom rom


• run the barebones needed

I don't run apps - other than mail and sms. I despise Samsung's crapware and their desire to listen in on anything going through the phone. Screen size isn't important.
Thanks!

[Q] Good alternative to stock camera of android one topic

I have recently bought a Micromax Canvas A1 and I'm really disappointed with the stock camera. There is no option for white balance, auto & macro focusing or scenes like sepia, negative etc. Also quality of images captured by it is very poor in comparison with other phones with same 5M camera. So I'd like to know-

• what camera app, if any, you are using


• what are you doing to get better quality image

Please share your experience guys.:)

Google Android 5.0 Lollipop icons versus Sony XPERIA Android 4.4.4 KitKat icons topic

In few days there will be update from Sony Mobile for our smartphones with new user interface in Material Design. I am very happy with stock Android 4.4.4 KitKat, but when i compare icons of Google apps which are updated to Material Design with apps from Sony Mobile Android 4.4.4 KitKat, it is not so nice and stylish. Which one you prefer? Walkman music player is just updated tgo Lollipop version and his icon fit very good with other Google apps. What you like more?
