Looking for users of the Non-branded HTC Aria

This phone has been released in Taiwan and it is unbranded, and should work fine for European users as well. Unrevoked/Clockwork/CM6/LiberatedAria should work fine on it, but I would like to check out some things.
If someone has this phone, please contact me.

This would be good for our projects.

I just got my 'international' aria yesterday. I'm new to android and am using a tmobile sim (prepaid acct).
Would anyone have any thoughts as to why the 'people' app is missing? This is making transferring contacts a pain....
Thanks!

Marree if you could help us out with our project read my post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771604

marree, I haven't had a look at that ROM yet, so I don't know much about it. I don't think yours is 'international' really - it's currently marketed in Asia only. I am sure there are differences that go beyond the app sets between the AT&T and Asian versions, but I think it won't matter much once root is attained and custom ROMS are flashed.
If you decide to try rooting and installing custom recovery via unrevoked's reflash, please make a nandroid backup of your current ROM with Clockwork. I'd like to take a peek at your system image, which will not contain any of your personal information.

Hi Guys.
I'm in Australia and have an unbranded and rooed HTC Liberty and I'd be willing to help you out.

[Q] Serve.me

Anyone know how to delete the Serve.me app that came reinstalled on the phone? I used Titainium Backup to uninstall it but it doesn't work.

Never heard of it. Is your phone rooted?

It's rooted. The Serve.Me app is in French. I found a Youtube video testing the app but I can't post external link. Just search for "Serve.Me John Paul" if you're interested.

I have never heard of this, however it could suggest that the phone is branded, perhaps debrand to get rid. I had an app called traffic tv that i just couldnt get rid of, once i debranded it disappeared no problem. It also means that the delayed 2.1 update will be available before your operator adds their "features"

With RootExplorer have a look in data/app-private and if there is an apk in there of it delete that too, and from data/app also.

I believe that app is installed in the generic french firmware.
I got rid of it by replacing the generic french firmware with uk generic.

How do I find out if my phone is branded and for what market? Sorry for the newbie question. I'm new to this forum.

Where did you get it from.

At a local store here in the US. I was told it's an oversea phone but didn't mention where.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

with the lock screen visible.. press the following key combo..
Menu back back menu Back Menu menu back
This will give you a service menu... select "service info" then "Model info"
That will tell you the phone model, country, and brand.

Thanks. It states country is France and brand customized FR.
So i guess that mean its branded?
Is there a customized firmware for north america? I saw the debrand thread but there are too many files.
Not sure which to get.

What's the problem you're having with sideload wonder machine? I was using it just fine when I was still on the stock AT&T firmware. I debranded to generic LAM and then updated to 2.1 when it was released for that firmware. I can point you in the right direction for that if you wanna go that route (highly recommended).

I used the sideload method to install superoneclick to root mine. The key to getting the side load to work is downloading the SDK program and drivers for android phones. Then it works like a charm. Try the Z4Root.apk in the market as well.

you can root your at&t x10 with z4root i also have a at&t x10 and can verify it is a one click root that works flawlessly. look for it here in the forums

[Q] HK note3 9005 no lte

I have got a note3 9005 bought from hongkong.
I cannot seem to get the 4g lte to show up in the network selection when I pop in a telecom NZ 4g sim card.
I have managed to flash a telecom nz csc but the 4g option still does not appear. The only way to have it appear is to be modifying the /data/property/persist.lteon value
Is there anything else I can do? I am currently stuck on the HK MK1 rom so i cannot flash the nz version of MJ7. I guess when NZ version updates to MK1 then i guess i can try to flash the rom altogether.

This will proabably have to do. There is an app that can switch on the connection in the app store (whether it works is a different story)

More than likely nothing else you can do until the update comes and your patched/edited lteon value edit.

[Q] Note 4 Chinese Variant Custom RoMs

I am looking for custom roms for the SM-N9108v which is similar to the N9109,N9100, N9106 models. All of which are Chinese variants.
Has anyone here enough Chinese language skill to have had much success finding RoMs that might be suitable?
Thanks in advance.

SM-N9108V
Hi there. Where did you buy the SM-N9108V from? What are they going for? I am looking for one but want to install a rom with play store on it. Will it work?

I skim over 52Samsung.com quite often as there's lots of work going on over there. However, you donate to become a member (which gives access to download links) so even if there was something available I'd only be able to link to something you can't get, unless you're in China and have also donated.

I take it you're in China since you're asking about the specific China Mobile carrier locked, single SIM model number.
Most obvious place to go is your local China Mobile store. Or jd.com and Amazon.cn also have them. Should be ¥5,199 more or less.
You don't need a custom ROM with Play Store pre-installed. Just use the root guides on here and flash Gapps yourself - it's pretty simple. And I hope you have a VPN!

1. Kinghu, thank you for the link. I will look into it and donations for it when work slows down a bit. Right now, I'm semi/happily making do with the Apex launcher for the next week, but I am itching to trial a custom RoM. I envy multi lingual users a bit. Must be great feeling to have access to the Chinese sites and to know which you can trust.
2. I know that I'll be staying China Mobile for at least a year - hence I selected N9108v - it is good advice that people make certain to get the right one. I am now using 4G for the first time after not having it on my HK purchased N9005.
3. Any more sites I can investigate - particularly like the MUIU RoM for Note3.
Cheers.

I think it'll be a while before full custom ROMs like MIUI appear just because the phone is so new.
My last Note was the dual SIM Note 2 (7102) and there were only really modded TouchWiz (stock) ROMs. Some were quite left-field!
Might be different though if you've a single SIM phone. I guess we all just wait and see.

I have the n9106 and live in the us do you by chance know if there are any fixes for the play store I can't get mine working and without a custom ROM I don't know how to fix it. I would like to go with a custom ROM on it.

Waouh ! The 32go variant
Same specs as N9100 except rom space
No need custom rom.
Option 1
You could try flashing N9100 HK variant via Odin. It has Google play
Please backup before (in case of problem you can roll back to your original rom)
Be aware : it could break your device
Option 2
install custom recovery (cwmr or twpr) then flash latest gapps package (search in xda)
Root is not needed for having play store

Yeah I have tried the gapps several times. I have twpr on it now. I am building a android test bed for working on roms. Good to know about it being the same as the n9100. I will see what I come up with. Another thing that is wierd is it will not update so when they finally release the andriod 5 for it I will have to do something. From what I saw the other day it has already bean leaked.

I am never going to buy another Samsung while I live in China. N9108v - thank you for the lesson in how to make an awesome phone but-truck useless...

Hey, just wanted to say, I have the SM-N9108v. I rooted using Chainfire's CF-Auto root, worked great. Installed CWM recovery, worked great. I use X-note rom and it's great but for a few minor glitches. About to redo the entire thing using TWRP recovery and try another rom. The only thing you have to watch out for is the radio. China Mobile 4G LTE is a propietary frequency and if your radio changes you won't be able to use the 4G signal. China Unicomm uses the same regular frequencies as some north american carriers.
Just passing on what I've found out through trial and error.

Hello,
Seems that you are the right person to get me out of my troubles with this phone. I cannot have proper 3G functionality (i am not mentioning 4G since for sure it will not work outside china). How can i load other modem-radio file on this phone and see if i can fix it?
Thanks!
