[Q] something to do before Rooting my i9506? topic

i want to root my 9506, it's a 4.4.2 and it has a rom of czech republic (with knox)

is possible to replace the rom with an italian one and then root? because it doesn't even has the italian in the keyboard, maybe the italian version has also the file for offline voice recognition or i have to download it anyway?

i should backup something before i root? maybe for sending to warranty...

thank you...

[Q] There is something wrong with the SCREEN! topic

Hi guys !
I have a big problem here please help me :(........

I just bought a Fire HDX 8.9" from Amazon.com.
After a couple days, I found there is something in my screen.
It's like couple of super-tiny-red-dash-matrix, you have to watch the screen very carefully to see those things.
They look like the Attachment picture below, and they show more clearly in white background.

They are actually smaller and more blurred than the picture shows. And when I change the angle between the device and my eyes, the matrix will move up-down.

So, when I found this problem, I contacted Amazon and Replaced the device.

BUT, the Second device they sent to me, has the SAME problem:crying:!!!!!!!!!!

This situation very very confuse me. I just wonder is there any fellows have the same problem with me ? And what should I do?

MY device: Fire HDX 8.9, 8.9" HDX Display, Wi-Fi, 64 GB - Includes Special Offers.

(I'm a new international student here, so please forgive me about the bad language.:))

Thank you all if there is any help or advises.

[Q] Proprietary "something" in camera app topic

Hi everyone,
I am having a Oneplus One and I put Mahdi on it yesterday. Everything's great, but I have the feeling the camera has a lower quality. I read about another phone which had this fixed once via update by using proprietary... And here, my memory lacks. So, is it a proprietary format or driver or something? I just remember some other phone had an update and it really improved the camera quality. (Was a news on a tech news side I frequent when I'm bored.)

So, right now, I am wondering if someone knew what that proprietary 'something' was and if it is possible that Mahdi suffers the same draw back and if there are some Camera Apps out there (best in PlayStore), that already feature those proprietary 'something'...

Also, I am kind of wondering if I suffer of confirmation bias, because I kind of expected the camera quality to impair. Well, in any case, I realise that a little more information about the topic would be helpful, but since camera and quality is such a huge topic, I am already greatful if someone can kind of give some google keywords of things that can cause differences in quality when using the same hardware.

First flash something went wrong. topic

Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully help me out.

First off I was rooted stock and updated to NF9 and have TWRP installed. This morning I went to flash my first rom on this device, effortless ROM. It did jot flash, it said that the zip couldn't be opened. So I downloaded dompop on my PC and transfered to my SD card. Dompop installed fine, but after waiting 30+ minutes to boot up I pulled the battery and reflashed. Same result. So now I am trying to restore my back up I made last night and it seems to be stuck at restoring modem (64%). Its been stuck here for 30 minutes. Any help would be appreciated.

Something useful? topic

So me and my friend tried to trace what's really wrong with most of the Lollipop ROM's and he told me this is the cause why it doesn't wake up when in deep sleep:

[ 434.688710] C3 [ system_server, 953] Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.01 seconds) done.

I hope this is useful to the devs around here. :D

Can't write to internal SD or something... topic

I have a Dev Edition Note 4, with a rooted stock ROM and for some reason I can't write to the internal memory. I can install apps all day long, but some apps won't write to storage. Examples:

1)Waze - Waze can't access your SD card. Make sure it isn't mounted
2)Dropbox- Storage full or Unavailable (when I try to download anything)
3)Xposed- when trying to install/update from within the app

"SD card:/storage/emulated/Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/files
Copying Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip...
Could not extract Xposed-Disabler-Recovery/zip"

I've tried flashing back to my original backup, running the KK SD card fix, formatting the SD card, trying a new and formatted SD card, and tried flashing the one ROM that is out for DE Note 4, and not matter what I do I'm getting the same error.

any ideas?

Thanks!
