Hello.
I can't find any other tread about this, so I start one here.
Is it possible, on both the stock and CM rom for E975, to remove the black area where our face is supposed to be to unlock?
It looks stupid and isnt that much for use anyway, right?
So is there anyway somehow a way to flash that away, hide it or something

Well what do you expect of XDA people? To offer you a repair service?
Just check if that problem matches your case, and if so, send it back to HTC!
THEY will help you.
Ok Ok, i just thinking about it, maybe is any .apk ? what can calibrate my keyboard or something else?
Question mate, i can send phone to T-Mobile in UK if i Load Custom Rom ? i not loosed warranty ???
Thanks
You have a chance that they will not accept the phone because it has custom firmware on it. (Or there has been tampered with)
Best thing is to make a backup of your files, texts, apps, etc. and load a stock ROM back on it by using the official RUU downgrade method.
That way the phone will be reset completely back to stock and they won't know that you had an custom ROM on it.
Firstly, love the tablet. However, the whites could be better. Would a custom rom help make them whiter? Or is that totally a hardware dependent thing? Unrelated, but is there a way to remove stock lg apps? I thought for sure i read somewhere that you can without rooting, but cant seem to find the option anywhere. Thanks

@YoungBobbie has made a kernel for the 500 device which may take care of the screen problem. His thread is in the development section for downloads and updates. You will need a custom recovery like twrp to use his kernel. There is also another person working on a 500 kernel as well that may be available soon.

Sweet. 'Thanks' coming your way. I've seen the root method for the g pad. And it seems that the method bypasses unlocking the boot loader. Is it the same with flashing a custom recovery and Roms? No boot loader unlocking needed? Don't mean to go ot, but I figured I'd pick your brain instead of starting a new thread. Thanks again
im sorry for any double threading. im just so lost on this Experia Ion and was hoping someone can point me in the right direction from where i stand with it.
1. Its locked. is there a way to unlock it even though it says Bootloader Unlocked: NO ?
2. what can i do to get any custom rom on it while the bootloader is locked or is that even possible?
3. if that isnt possible, is there a way to get a better firmware version than 4.0.4?
yes i have flashtool working with drivers i already reloaded 4.0.4 stock on it.
main reason im even wondering about any of this, is because when i make calls the MIC on it is muffled horribly. ive read the forums about the Mic rubber Gasket piece so thats my next step. but im wanting to try a newer firmware (hopefully custom) before taking the phone apart . as stated im sorry for double thread posting if there was an answer already, ive been searching for days on the threads and ahvent found much on my questions, but i did attempt my best to answer them myself before ending up here.
There is no way to unlock the bootloader if it is set to unlock = no as far as i am aware.
My only suggestion is to use a custom rom that is based on Stock and works for locked bootloaders. Any of the ROMs in the development section that are marked as LB in the title (for your phone) will work. Full instructions are there. You will need to root and install recovery to install.
Futher info on rooting is here if you haven't already done it.
thank you so much, im so used to samsungs yknow? methods are definitely different with the xperias. thanks for the direction point. i just rooted and setting up recovery i hope this thread helps others who are lost as well
I have a c6503 unlocked and I'm on 10.5.1.a.0.283.
I believe have a locked bootloader as well.
I had been playing around with rooting and installing recovery a few weeks ago but I couldn't get the bootloader unlocked. I read a few posts about some models not being able to be unlocked no matter what. Could someone tell me if this is true and if this is the case for me? I'd really like to install an AOSP rom as I'm really not digging the xperia UI.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, it's definitely true. I have a ZL C6506 with a BL that can't be unlocked (doesn't bother me much, as I am a stock ROM kinda guy, and I am happy as long as I can get root and a custom recovery). There is an easy way to confirm that for your phone. Dial *#*#7378423#*#* to open a Service menu. Go to Service Info -> Configuration, and look at the very bottom of the output. It will tell you whether your BL can be unlocked or not. Actually, this is the check Sony tells you to do before trying to unlock your BL.
Thanks. Mine is permanently locked.
So there's no possible way to flash aosp Roms?
The xperia lockscreen, notification center, and multi tasking drives me nuts.

Not to my understanding... But like I said, I have a preference towards stock ROMs, and don't know much about AOSP, so you'd better get a confirmation from someone more qualified. Keep in mind, there are still ways to do at least some customizations even on a stock ROM by using Xposed modules and/or individual mods (you will most probably have to have your ROM deodexed for those), but they would be fairly limited.
EDITED MAY 19
OK I need some help / advice... My Note 4 is running lollipop version 5.0.1 N910AUCU2COC6. "This is where it was when I unlocked my phone" I currently am in the EU using a Telekom card "hence why I unlocked it"
I would IDEALLY LOVE to remove all the bloatware and have it on basically a stock non branded OS so it is clean and runs fast but also would love to have the latest software with should be Marshmallow "Nougat isn't available yet is it?"
After a bit more research I found this:
--SM-N910A(Qualcomm Snapdragon 805)------[USA AT&T]-------------------{FDD-LTE+WCDMA+GSM}
--SM-N910F(Qualcomm Snapdragon 805)------[Europe]---------------------{FDD-LTE+WCDMA+GSM} 【Firmware:N910FXXU1ANIE】
So would it be possible to replace the AT&T version files with the Europe version files to be rid of all the bloatware stuff etc?
Needless to say I have questions as I have never done this before:
1 - is it possible to have a non branded OS and still be able to use it globally as in still use AT&T or T-mobile or even still in the EU if desired to?
2 - is it possible to get it to a point where it will update itself after doing the above step no matter where I go?
3 - Is it worth it putting Marshmallow on it or will it drag down the phone ram etc and if its ok with that then what about Nougat?
4 - I've read about bricking your phone...is it true that you can always UNBRICK it and at least go back to where it was?
5 - I downloaded Smart Switch and got a backup already, read a bit about using odin but am not totally clear on it yet, is there any other software I should get familiar with?
6 - Is there a fairly clear and simple guide for doing this, it seems to look harder than it is from what I am reading...or is everyone here masters at this and so therefore I would be an idiot?
7 - I guess my final and simple question would be is there a way on any of these OS to turn off the popup notifications yet still have the sound and light notifications? I want them just not popups blocking my screen
I am a noob of course but I believe anybody can do anything if the right questions are asked and the right people are giving the right answers.. the rest is just time consuming.
Also I don't mind tackling 1 thing at a time either so any help or tips from you pros is more than welcome.
Thank you much in advance
Simple answer no.
Complex answer sorta. ....the att variant is still bootloader locked and unrooted so u can't remove alot of the apps or install custom os/roms; though u can disable alot of the att ones.
As for mm u can throw ure old att sim in it and download the update to marmellow. reviews are mix some ppl love it some don't. You also can use Odin to do it manually there is a tutorial on the front page it's pretty straight forward.
As for notifications there's apps and launchers u can try but im not 100% sure which will do what u want. Personally I changed my settings to silent with only the led flashing in the stock settings so I'm content .
Hope I helped u a lil. Look around ull be surprised with how much u can customize without root.
Ps. Sim unlock and bootloader unlock and root are all diferent. Sim is for sim card. Bootloader unlock to install non samsung/touch wiz rom like aops and cyanogen. Root to install any rom or remove stock apps and lots of other root apps and goodness.
OK thanks for that info, so basically it was fraud...lol If they would have told me that paying the money to unlock my phone only meant the sim unlock I wouldn't have done it and instead I would have outright bought an unlocked bloatware free phone instead.
OK so having found out that, I guess I have to root the phone, remove the AT&T OS...install another version that is bloatware free then "unroot" the phone again? Is that possible and if so will it get future updates? You mentioned that you changed your settings, I can't figure out what to change exactly, I just don't want the popup stuff.... I like the flashing light for notifications and don't mind the sounds etc just don't want the popup interrupting whatever I am reading or doing and having to wait for it to disappear so I can continue. Maybe the next software update would have allowed some other setting that I don't currently have?
Is it true that basically you can never totally "brick" your phone? That there is always some way to get back?
In a perfect world I just imagine that Samsung in their wisdom has an OS that is just Samsung, runs clean and free of ram wasting stuff yet works all over and allows you to do all that your allowed to on an Android yet is secure etc. I just want to get my phone as close to that as possible with the updates coming with no issues. Am I dreaming or can this be done?
Unfortunately the locked bootloader prevents loading any other samsung variant like the international version. And attempting root on this phone can permanently root ure phone so I would not try it. the only root availed is shaky at best and only last a few secs so not worth the risk. All you can do is DiSable the att crap without root just go into app manager. There's plenty of reviews of marmallow floating around here . I'm still on 5.1 .1 cause I got it customized to my liking. It's easy to upgrade with Odin just follow the tutorial on the front page. Just make sure u install the drivers and let ure phone be recognized b4 u try to start to flash. Ull just get errors otherwisr.
OK thanks again, now that I totally understand that my phone won't do what I hope for I guess I will just look into that update and see whats the difference between 5.0.1 and 5.1.1 to see if its worth that hassle..lol.

There's almost no difference between 5.0.1 and 5.1.1 just minor update. U gotta go to 6.0.1 to see a difference.
Have similar problem phone is laggy and from time to time stuck in boot-loop. As I'm in Europe as well wanted to get rid of that evil At&t stuff but no luck.
