[Q] Q&A- Different radio versions general question topic

I'm by no means an expert, but I have rooted/flashed ROMs on different phones the past few years. This has been my first time running into a phone where the ROMs are picky on which bootloader or radios are installed beforehand. The bootloader/bootstack I understand , but what about radios? Aside from different ROMs requiring certain radio versions, what's the real difference between 12b and 27a? Better signal from towers? Better Lte connectivity?

[Q] Different CID and RUU topic

I am having an issue with my phone in fastboot mode. After changing my CID to GOOGL001 from CWS_001, I was in the process of flashing the GPE RUU, but it got interrupted and it was stuck on the HTC logo for a while. I ended up rebooting the device and now it is unrecognized in fastboot, yet it still works in normal mode. In fastboot mode, it is a black screen instead of the normal white screen. I don't think anything is wrong with my drivers because everything was working alright before. Phone is still fully functional and I would like to either change my CID back to normal or continue with the GPE RUU. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

[Q] can I use a different modem when I flash a stock rom using odin? topic

Can I use a different modem if I want to flash a stock rom using odin?

I want to use xxemc2 stock rom for my s3 howrver because I already upgraded to 4.3 it changed the efs file and I did not make a back up of the original.

Xxemg4 which I have now does not have as good battery life as on xxemc2 and I blame it on the modem as my multipdp wakelocks indicate this.

However Xxemg4 was the last 4.1.2 version available I can doengrade to, am I able to use the stock 4.3 modem and use th xxemg4 for everything else?

Im unsure if you can mix and match stock roms modems without bricking the phone or tripping knox.

Is this allowed or doable on a non rooted s3?

Different volumes for different apps topic

a different version of tmo note 4 topic

Ok i found a thread about a similar version of note 3, and likely there will be those who question why i might go this route for a note 4 but honedtly its the only way i could ever come close to getting a phone this expensive. To the point , i bought my note 4 from rent a center. Way too much money but 30 bucks a week i can do even though in the end it will be astronomically expensive. well its a t mobile device running on at&t through net 10, but theres a couple interesting things. First i checked knox and it was tripped from begginning. It was definetly a new phone no doubt about that.. so hey i can root with no reprecussions and have. Im rooted with twrp now. The other interesting thing is the build of kitkat. It notes rac-conversa in the build name see image.

Now my questions are, whats thoughts on the knox , i dont need it anyway, and next im wondering if the different build and or carrier and model combination going to be problematic when flashing roms or other things.. the build lacks any carrier bloat which is nice and even lacks some of samsungs bloat.

Id like to compare build props with a typical tmo note among other comparisons. Noe i have been flashing and rooting for years but this is my first samsung device. And while im not a developer i do kno a fair bit about coding ,building roms and such im hoping i wont have to utilize that knowledge to flash roms to the note though...

Really would like some thoughts and to see if anyone else has this device or knows of it.

[Q] Displaying separate unread/new counts for different email clients topic

[Not sure if I should be posting this in the general Themer forum or Zooper forum. Mods, please move if in the wrong place.]

I am using Zooper which came bundled with Themer, and was editing one of the themes I downloaded when I ran into this problem. Some backround info then:

I use Gmail (personal email). Setting Themer's default mail app to "Inbox" (the google app) or "Gmail" accurately displays the unread count if I'm using #SUG# or #UEmail#

I also have Lotus Notes Traveler (work email). I am unable to set the correct variable. However, if I set the default themer email app to "Mail" (the work email client), it shows the unread count if I use #SUG# or #UEmail#. Similarly, if I define default SMS app as my work email client, and set the widget to show #SUSMS# or #USMS#, it also shows my unread work emails.

Where I run into a problem is having the widget show separate counts for personal and work emails. I thought I'd be clever and swap the themer default app to my work email, and use #UEmail# to show work email counts, and #SUG# (and all variations e.g. #SUG^all#) to show personal emails, but it seems Themer/Zooper does not differentiate between the two, and the unread counts only show work email (where work email client is set as default mail app in Themer).

Something I think might work would be to set #Upkgname# where pkgname is the package name for the work email client. Unfortunately I have no idea what the package name is. Googling around shows that it could be com.lotus.sync.traveler, but change the variable to #Ucom.lotus.sync.traveler# does not work either.

As additional info, the default variables provided are #USMS#, #UEmail#, #Upkgname#, #Ucom.whatsapp#

There should be a workaround to this but I'm just not seeing it. I understand people have had success showing email counts in different clients using a combination of Tasker and Zooper, but I'm going to use that as a last resort since I don't want to pay for something only to find out it doesn't help with my problem.

[Q] Can the N910t be used with a different carrier right out the box? topic

Hi everyone,

Im thinking of getting the T-mobile Note 4 because its the most "usable" model since its bootloader is unlocked, it has different roms to choose from and can be used with LTE globally. I know there is an international model (N910f) but it seems it has trouble with LTE in the US.

So the question is, can I use the N910t (T-mobile) with another carrier right out of the box, if unlocked? Meaning the phone never touches a T-mobile sim card.

Thanks in advanced!

Good mainboard won't boot when swapped to different phone topic

I got a Note 2 from a guy on Craigslist that apparently had died. Wouldn't boot, no lights, but battery did warm up after staying on the charger for a while, so it seemed to be charging. Got another note 2 with a busted screen, but which does boot. Screen is completely shattered with no backlight or image on the screen, but you can hear it fully boot. When I swapped the board from the second phone to the dead one, nothing happens still. No boot. No blue light. Nothing at all. I tried the board I pulled out of the first phone in the shattered phone and it appears to boot. Swap the board that came out of it back and it boots, but nothing happens with either board when I put them into the first phone. I've also swapped the usb boards and they both work in the phone with the shattered screen. I'm stumped! The first phone I got is super clean, and doesn't appear to have any water damage to phone or battery, and my shattered note 2 boots with both batteries. I thought the issue was the well known sudden death issue, but it seems I have a different problem. Any suggestions?
