Use portrait orientation in normal usage but change to auto-rotation in fullscreen

Hi there,

Is there any possibility to enable the following behavior:

When using e.g. Chrome Browser I want my app to use my default portrait orientation from general settings.

When I e.g. play a video and expand to fullscreen/immersive mode I'd like the app to use auto-rotate or force landscape orientation (preferably the former).

I'm on a rooted Oneplus 3 with Xposed v87, Stock OOS (3.2.8, which is Android 6.0.1) non-CB.

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Whoever had your S6 probably didn't pay their bill and the S6 got its IMEI blacklisted which makes it so the phone cant be activated as long as it has that IMEI or the S6 was a stolen device, then the person you bought the S6 from took the IMEI from the S3 and programmed it on the S6 so it could be activated to be able to sell it, it is illegal to alter IMEI on a device then sell it so you have an illegally activated phone now.

Thanx for the info.i thought this a refurbished device mixture of many phones now am satisfied its not a refurbished phone. It is a U.S.A model g925v with the Verizon network.i live in pakistan so have no idea weather its a stolen device or what so ever. Is there anyway i can fix the imei number ?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You have 2 options.

1) you can restore its original IMEI if you can locate it, it might be inside the device somewhere, but if it was blacklisted for not paying the bill then that won't do you any good because you won't be able to activate with blacklisted IMEI or if it's stolen you could at some point get a knock at your door by the authorities if they try to locate the stolen device.

2) You can do what they did and use the IMEI from another device, this would be doing the same thing that the person you bought it from has done so that would be a waste of time.

My suggestion would be to forget about it and just keep using the device or get rid of it.
[General Questions and Answers] androgeek2010:
can you please write down the exact adb command to push gapps zip to /system/app folder, and what you mean by "connecting to adb while booted into system"

did you mean to run a adb command while device is turned ON?

i have installed .apk files with the adb while the device was running with the command like:

adb install superSU.apk

adb install droidinfo.apk

.apk applications were installed and running smoothly, but i could not install any .zip like gapps.zip with this method.

any suggestions???
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, you cant adb push the whole gapps.zip, you'll have to adb push the apks themselves after extracting them from the zip.

Yes, I mean to connect to adb while the device is powered on normally. That is called being booted into "system".

There are different modes a device boots to.

1)flashing mode which is called different things depending on your device, different devices call it different things such as fastboot, download, bootloader, etc..

2)recovery mode which is self explanatory.

3)safe mode which means it boots into " system" but it only loads system apps and not the apps you've installed in user partition.

4)system mode which is the device booted normally as you would on a daily basis.

There are other additional modes depending on the device.

2nd attempt at some advice: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2259645 :) This is where I'm at as clearly as I can frame it:

I have a soft bricked Razri XT890 running 4.4.2 JB bricking was due to Motorola's OTA update.

Have full access to device, the only problem is battery reporting issue well documented on Razri forums. Sadly it renders it unusable away from power source

From research it appears reflashing with the same image that caused the issue could solve it. However I haven't been able to locate the image 990.43.74.XT890.Retail.en.GB

XDA user tamsta kindly uploaded: 990.43.74.XT890.Retail.en.EU for me but I don't know if I can use this as:

it's EU not GB

and

I dont think its a flashable image, although I don't know how to check this as I'm a novice at his. :(

I've also found: GB 4.1.2 via http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239706 - CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-29_S7_USASMIJBRTGB.xml I believe this may be a flashable image but it involves going down from 4.4.2 to 4.1.2 - I've read that going backwards is a good way to brick the phone but also that this one would be possible as both are JB.

Can anyone advise which of the two roms has the best chance of success? Whether the EU / GB difference is significant? Whether I should unlock the bootloader before proceeding?

Any help gratefully received. I am now at stage where I am willing to risk bricking the device much though I love it.

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to transfer data from my phone to my tablet using USB OTG. So far without luck. When I plug my phone to the tablet it suggests opening the Gallery to transfer pictures.

In general USB OTG works, I can connect a mouse and everything. I can also transfer pictures from my camera to the tablet. From phone to tablet it doesn't work, no matter if I choose MTP or PTP for the connection.

The phone is a Galaxy S7 (G930F), the tablet a Tab S2 (T810). Both are rooted. How can I transfer data between them using MTP?

Thanks in advance for any help!

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You can use ES file explorer to transfer the photos between phone and tablet via Bluetooth. You can do it all in one shot if you compress all of your photos into a single .zip file then Bluetooth that .zip to the other device then extract the .zip on the other device after it is transferred.
[General Questions and Answers] thesandro:
Thank you for your suggestion which indeed works. The thing is, via bluetooth it's very slow, so I'd rather be able to copy files using usb.

Isn't there something like an mtp client app for Android? I couldn't find one :'-(

Am having signal issue on my s6 edge its always showing 3 bars with H on it when am inside my house. When am out side it shows full 4 bars and when i get into a shop and my call is running on whats app the signal gets really week like 2 bars than it connects to E automatically and all the 4 bars will show up.i wonder whats the problem is it my hard issue with the Antena or my phone is not factory unblocked?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It's because you're probably using the device on a different network than its original network. Possibly because it has been flashed with a different modem that isn't quite as compatible as it could be on your network or maybe because the bands available or the bands the device can receive in your area aren't the optimal bands that they could be.

Signal issues are common on devices that have been flashed to switch networks.

Close, thank you. This gives me only certain file types in a huge list I can scroll through. As there are about 3000 files this is not really viable. It would be nice to have an mtp client app. Something to browse the files, like it is when you connect the device to the computer.

Not getting notifications

Hi guys,

If I'm on the cell network with no wifi, I'm not getting any notifications for Gmail and WhatsApp (I think it's the same with other apps like LinkedIn and FB but I get less notifications for those so not 100% sure). As soon as I get reconnect to wifi a bunch of notifications flood in. Data and notifications work normally on wifi and when those apps are actually open.

Restrict Background Data is NOT set - neither the global setting nor the app-specific setting for either of these apps. "Set mobile data limit" is NOT set.

I used to have an O2 SIM in this device, which I never had a problem with. The problem appeared when I switched to Vodafone. If I put my Voda SIM into a different device, I receive my notifications fine.

I have tried re-downloading my Internet Settings from the "wireless and networks" screen.

The device isn't rooted and has never had Greenify installed.

I have a 2GB data plan and use <20% of this.

I'm on KitKat.

Any ideas how I can get my notifications to work?

Internal Storage READ ONLY, how?

HI GUYS!

I have a big problem and would be very grateful if somebody could help me:

I am on CM13..

I want to make a file (or the folder it's in) "READ ONLY" ...so that the app won't keep changing it..It seems that, because of CM13 -which is not the stock Software on my device,the app cannot recognize the hardware correctly and this file (in which the setting are) changes how the app runs on the device..

I have the FX File Explorer (with the root addon) but I also tried Root Explorer and ES Explorer...tried newer and older versions of each, but the "security", or " permissions" option doesn't even appear anywhere else except in the ''system'' folders.

So, the only solution would be to trick the phone (or just the Explorer app? so I can change permissions) into treating all the internal storage /or at least the folder I need as system..am I right?

(I also tried going into System(Root)/Storage/emulated/0 to make it think it's in System, and the "security"option for the file does appear but the permissions I set don't stick..-what is missing is the general option to mount RW or RO that I get in "system" folders).

Thanks in advance!

You can try this anyway and see if it works for you.

[General Questions and Answers] androgeek2010:
I have tried this method of installing all gapps apks, they do get installed but google never works like this. I never get logged in to google accounf or google play. At the mean time a message "google play services has stopped" was appearing again and again, making the phone hanged and un useable.

I guess all google apps like google play services, google account, google services framework and play store have to work as a whole and there might be an issue with app permissions as well when we install them manually. And for that I guess the whole gapps zip should be flashed into the system or there must be some way to set permissions to all these google apps to get working gapps.

You don't need TWRP to wipe cache partition, you can do that in stock recovery.

Do a google search for:

"TWRP for (your model number)"

If that doesn't give you any results then there isn't one for your device. In that case you would have to compile your own recovery for your model number or port an existing recovery from a similar device to work on yours.

I did the same my dear, i installed gapps apks manually and then I wipe cache through the stock recovery but the result was the same. Gapps are not working, still that annoying message " Google services framework has stopped " is there. making me unable to sign in to the google account.

Twrp for my device is not available on net, and i could not compile a twrp for my own, so tell me what would happen if i install a wrong one on my device and It didn't work? Would it be possible for me to get back to my stock recovery or replace it with an other twrp?
