VLC is unable to access sd card folders on kitkat 4.4.2 directly. however files can be played using VLC if opened through file manager

Any possible way to allow VLC access and list all the files/foldes in sd card?

I loathe Google for that sodding new SD card permission thingy, what the hell were they trying to do??
Anyway, don't know what your phone is, but on my i9500 just changing the platform.xml did the job. Do take a backup of the original file in case anything goes wrong. I am talking about Method 2, as it's reversible.

You could either take a guess from the created date from properties of each file, or check the size of available kernels from XDA and compare them to the files you have.

Or just install each of them and see for yourself. No harm in that I suppose. :p
PS: I don't take responsibility if you experience weird behaviors.

No luck. Kernels are packed with Rom so I have download whole Rom and then extract kernel and also sometimes flashing different kernal version resulted in bootloop.

P.s.- does kernal also included in nandroid backup?

A very strange thing happened with my roommate's Xperia M. He was opening a porn video in uc browser. Then he said to me that i should check the phone as video is being played but not showing up. Damn, i checked here, there, everywhere, but no avail. The video playing sound was still being played in background!! :shock:

Very unfortunate event. Second this time, after you told about the incident where he started to get random calls.
Very strange things happens with your roommate. I suggest you look for some other roommate.

The key to any community is, obviously, communication. Like most projects, Android communicates via mailing lists. Because Android is an extremely large project with many components, we have many discussion forums, each focusing on a different topic.

Installed AndroVM using virtual box, and whatsapp is working fine. But i installed Clash of Clans so that i could link it to my device and play when i am on PC. But whenever i open it, i get the error "Unfortunately COC has stopped working". This is probably because this works only in landscape mode. So probably all the apps which only works in landscape mode won't work.

AndroVM may not be able to play any graphical games. But you can only try. You can get the tablet image of AndroVM which sports a landscape mode.

Could anyone suggest me a solid alarm app? I am getting kinda bored with the S4's default app. UI should be better than my gf's :p and it should have a solid functionality, and that feature should be there of default app which says how long left to my set alarm time from current time.
Is there any such app, paid (within 2-3 bucks), free anything?
