[Q] Any chance to run a JAVA computer application on my KitKat Rooted Tablet? topic

Hello guys.
I have big problem with my internet connection, (many disconnections).
I would like to monitor my internet connection for some days to have a better view of the problem.
But I don't want to have my PC continuously open 24/24...!!!
So I think that may I can run a java app that I found in my Android Tablet with a help of a Java Emulator.
The Application I want to run is Internet Connectivity Monitor

What's the best option to make it work?
With what Emulator? (I have KitKat 4.4.2 and it's Rooted)

Any Kitkat ROM Available Or Buildable? topic

Am I the last person who doesn't want a smartphone without a hardware keyboard?

My phone is permanently rooted and running Supreme Sense ROM. Since Kit-Kat is supposedly "old" phone friendly, I would like to try it.

The only page I found that gives instructions is here. It recommends using fastboot to install RUU-HTC EVO Shift 4G_One_GE-4.4-3.58.1700.5.zip but there is no link to that file.

When I go to HTCdev. com I see there are 3 files for the HTC One Google Edition with that version number that support kitkat 4.4.

Carrier, Region, Type

Google,WWE, MR
Open Market, Google WWE, Framework Support Files
Open Market, Google WWE, Stock UI

I am wondering if one of those has been modified for speedy or if the site is trying to say one of the HTC One Google Edition files will work?

My desktop meets the specs to build android. Any other ideas for a path to kitkat?

S4 Mini overheat and battery drain after KitKat Update topic

Hi all.
I am a new user of this community.
I am looking for a fix to my troubles.

Two weeks ago I updated my s4 mini to KitKat via OTA.
My Galaxy was TOTALLY officially, no custom rom, no recovery, no root... so i updated in the "classic" way.

From that day my smartphone drains battery really, really, fast and becomes really hot.
I am talking about 50° celsius when i only browse internet or use whatsapp to send message, and in the same time the battery drains fastly.

I rooted the phone, look to wakelock, look to process that could drain it, i made two factory reset, flash via Odin to the Italy Stock 4.4.2 (before it has got the English firmware version), buy a new battery, use different charger, calibrate it by app, calibrate it with the non-root method... but the problem persist.

I have got GPS off, Wifi OFF, NFC Off, S-Beam Off, Bluethoot Off... i only use internet via GSM or UMTS, no LTE.
To browse I use Opera Mini, but it's the same thing with Chrome.

I don't know what to do, i don't think it's an app problem, and it's impossibile that is by hardware, because with Jeally Bean the smartphone goes great.

I am actually trying Coolify after try Battery Doctor and a lot of other apps, like Gsam Battery, Greenify, Battery Calibrate ecc...

I've attacched some screenshot here. How can you see by the battery graph the battery drains like there's not a tomorrow in same time :crying:

ps: sorry for my english, how can you see by the screenshot i am italian.

Still have kitkat sounds on Lollipop? Heres a fix topic

So today I went to a phone store to try out the Nexus 6 that was just released in my country. I noticed that the system sounds were different from my Htc One M8 running a Lollipop rom (BlissPop). By system sounds I mean the lock/unlock sound, camera sounds etc.

I started googling about this, and it seems like the Nexus 5 and the NVIDIA shield have received these sounds in Lollipop and some devices have not. Finally I found a simple fix from this website: https://seo-michael.co.uk/how-to-cha...droid-devices/ The guide doesnt mention the few last steps though. After you have placed the sounds in the system, you have to set the files permission to rw -r-r, and then reboot.

I'm not sure if this helped anyone, I just wanted to share as I havent seen this discussed anywhere else.

Android Bug? More memory used than available. Not enough space error. KitKat. topic

Hello, this is really bugging me, I was hoping to have 8GB memory for apps and 32GB on my SD for obb's and stuff like that but Android 4.4 has the useless virtual SD card feature so the internal storage quickly fills up.
As far as I know, there is no app in the Google Play store that installs itself on the external SD card. But I read that you can copy the maps from TomTom to the external SD card to the Android/data/ folder. So I did that and it worked, freeing up allmost 3gb of internal storage space on my phone (Good news till here). But with the time the internal storage filled up and I reached a moment that I couldn't even update any app because Android was telling me that I don't have enough space. I looked in Settings > Storage and there was still 600MB free internal space, but the Applications bar was overflowing the graph as if there were no more space left.
Here is a screen shot [Note: Apps are taking more space than internal space is available?]:


I guess that this is what is causing the wrong "Not enough space" message. Clearing the cache from Google Services and Google Play Store sometimes helps if there is still more than 600 MB left, but now I'm completely stuck with 480MB and I cannot even update a 6MB app.

Does somebody know how to fix this? Is it me or every new Android version that comes out is just a worse better looking crap..?
Greetings.
INFO: I haven't rooted anything on my phone so everything is just stock.
