Hi peeps, wanted to ask is there a way to browse the system files that are on the phone storage from my PC? Cuz I don't have much installed, yet my phone storage is using 6+ GB, and the folders that are visible sum up to less than 1 GB (after all the temp and trash cleaned via Clean Master). I want to see what's on there. :)

Plus are the ROM + APPS in those 6 GB, or are they in the missing 4,6 GB? Cuz after all it says I have only 11,2 GB total, and if my math is correct I should have ~14.82 GB total (the rought equivalent of the sellers 16 GB).

Not sure if relevant, but I am using the Lenovo K3 Note k50-t5.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You'll have to be rooted and use a file manager app on the device to view root and system folders.

You might need to rename the TWRP file and take the .md5 off.

Then flash via fastboot.
[General Questions and Answers] surfistche:
Thanks for the reply but I was asking for a way to browse them from my PC. I have root + the needed apps to do it from the phone.

Also what about the question about the memory?

Cheers.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I understood your question perfectly.

The answer is still the same. You will have to view the files on the device it self, not via PC, PC allows access to internal storage and external storage, not root or system.

As far as I know, adb is the only way to do anything with system files on PC, though I've never tried using it to list everything in system to view what is there. I'm not even sure it can be done, it very well could be used that way, I just wouldn't know how.

As for your memory question, I don't know your device so I can't answer that.
[General Questions and Answers] surfistche:
Ahem.

You mean to tell me there is no way to enter a phones system files from a PC?

Edit: Just saw your edit about ADB (was typing when you posted it). I am sure there is a way, guess I'll ask in the thread about my phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I don't know why you can't just do it on the device with a file manager app. Its much easier and using PC doesn't give you any advantage in doing so.
[General Questions and Answers] surfistche:
Actually there are plenty advantages - it's easier to browse due to the detailed file explorers (total commander for example); it's easier to eddit files (especially text ones that require text editors like notepad ++, not to mention it's way faster and more comfortable to work on the big screen with a mouse and keyboard. :p

I do things just as easily and just as quickly on mobile, faster in some cases.

I am completely noob here. I've been using xda to root my phones for 3 years and now decided to make me a XDA acc.

I have a simple question that nobody seems to have the answer to. I have a sprint s6 rooted with the TWRP recovery on it. Is it possible to make the power and home buttons instantly take a screen shot like the apple devices do?

The reason I ask this is. I Had a IPhone and was using it to take screen shots Y I was watching some videos. With my android I have to stop the video get it to where I want than hold the power and home button down for 2 seconds. And that's really annoying. Also I did find a few apps that put a screenshot icon on your screen that would instantly take a screen shot but watching videos that's really annoying too.

So is there a way to have my hardware buttons (Instantly) take a screen shot or do I have to have a apple device?

Double tap

Greetings to anyone interested.

New user here with a rooted Leagoo Elite 5. This phone like many others has a double-tap-to-turn-screen-on gesture. This function has two issues: The first one is that the phone can wait a ludicrously long time before registering a second tap (up to two seconds). This adds to the second issue - the double tapping overrides the proximity sensor during a call which in turn causes the phone to annoyingly vibrate every few seconds because the screen turns on. . I'd like to know if there is a way to lower the threshold and if there is an option to remove the override.

[General Questions and Answers] dph314:
Hey guys, one more quick question about my S3 running a Cyanogen 12.1.2 nightly. I've been loving it and going through all the settings, having a great time but being careful not to randomly change anything. I recently noticed that sometimes screen transitions sliding from page to page were a bit choppy here and there. I could've sworn this monitoring app I got the other day showed the CPU Governor set on onDemand the first time I opened it. but after this choppiness started I got Device Control and it shows as being on Conservative. I can set it with Device Control and do a restart and it'll be back at Conservative (Device Control isn't set to apply anything on boot so I'm assuming CM12 sets it at Conservative by default?).

I have the battery setting where it was on default, on Balanced. But I'm just wondering, does CM12 always keep the governor on Conservative when the battery setting is on Balanced? Do I have to use a 3rd-party app to lock it at onDemand or Interactive (since setting the battery at Performance in CM-settings seemingly locks the governor only at Performance)?

Mock Location

Hi!

I have been searching through the net and also this forum for a solution to my problem. Unfortunately, there is not solution to it.

I wanted to use mock location without needing to go into developer mode to enable the "mock location" system.

I've followed every single step provided on sources available but it still doesn't work for me.

Phone : RedMi 2 enhanced Android 4.44

Rooted with kingo, installed Root Explorer premium and a full version mock location purchased. Did partition for system and shifted the mock location app into my system plus edited the permission and rebooted my phone. However, it still require my to enable the "allow mock location" when everytime I disable it. Isn't it suppose to work without the need to enabling "allow mock location"?

Please help! Thanks

How to solve Boot loop problem on Samsung Galaxy Star Duos (GT-S5282)

Hello!

I recently factory reset my device which is Samsung Galaxy Star Duos (GT-S5282) using CWM but after resetting my device my phone is stuck on the Samsung logo screen and I've waited for almost an hour but it seems it repeats infinitely in loop.

I've also tried wipe/factory reset and also wiping cache and dalvik cache as perror instructed in some of the tutorialsame given online.

But doing so none worked and the problem still continues.

Pls help me I'm a newbie to android flashing stuff.

Pls guide me to solve this boot loop problem and help me get my device working.

Also if needed the region for my device is India.

Thank you in anticipation.

You could maybe try doing a firmware restore using Samsung Kies.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Can you not get to developer options or is there a specific reason for not using it?

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

Did you do the first factory reset through android system settings? If so and you can still get to CWM you can flash a ROM and Gapps.

Did you at any point wipe system partition in CWM? If so then you wiped out the operating system, it has nothing to boot. Flash a ROM and Gapps.

If there are no ROMs for your device then you'll have to see if Kies has your firmware or can do a recovery on your device.

Or go to Sammobile or samsung-updates.com, if they have your firmware you can flash the firmware via Odin.

What should I set my G920F's A53 and A57 clusters min and max frequency to in order to make the most of my device with it still being stable?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
First, if you mean the mock locations that is part of system, it wouldn't be in data/app, that's for apps the user installs, not preinstalled apps. The mock locations in developer options are part of your settings.apk, that is a system app.

Whatever tutorial or guide you found is probably supposed to be done using some kind of third party app.

I entered recovery mode and formated my sd card .

I tried to install it again but same result .

Over an over again its really starting to annoy me .

Does anyone know whats the matter ?﻿

I haven't wiped out the system partition. And yeah I did a factory reset through CWM and since then I'm stuck at that Samsung logo screen and the logo animation plays infinitely.

Can u explain how will Kies work for this situation.

And the problem I'm having with stock ROM download is that there are many versions available on sam-mobile as per regions not they hold pda n csc nose which I don't have access to know bout.

Lets help each other

Use stock kernel for stability if you need performance set min and max frequency both to as high as possible .

But of course it will drain the battery so its up to you in which situations you need battery or performance .
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you're using custom ROMs then don't use the stock kernel as suggested, it won't work with custom ROMs.

That kind of thing is not discussed at XDA.

You can contact the carrier to see if they will take the block off.

If they won't remove the block then you'd have to do things that are illegal in a lot of places.

Could someone please provide me a link to download latest baseband for i9500?
[General Questions and Answers] stranger2322:
let me explain my situation here.

I have installed the mock location application in my phone, to use the application I first needed to enable the "allow mock location" in my developer option. But I wanted the application to work without needing me to enable the "allow mock location" in my developer option so I can use it on certain application that actually blocks "allow mock location".

So I tried to move the mock location application from my /data/app to my /system/app and reset the permission to rw-r-r in order to have it functioning. However, the mock location application still require me to enable "allow mock location" in my developer in order to have the application to function.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I understand you now.

It seems to me you need an app that has the mock locations built into the app itself. The app you're trying to use may not have the ability and only uses the device's built in mock locations feature.

Instead of posting a small portion of the instructions you're following, try giving me a link so I can take a closer look at what you're doing.

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ----------

This statement concerns me a little.

What exactly is your purpose? You want to allow mock locations without using developer options and then block mock locations? Are you trying to block your own mock locations or are you trying to block someone else's? It makes no sense to block your own when all you have to do is not turn it on.

If you're trying to do this to create something to block someone else's mock locations then that potentially crosses lines of privacy. You won't get help with violating privacy.

Odin Vs Ithor etc. where can be found , how to install and use

I am a noob to all the cool stuff here, wanted to post as a new thread but everytime i tried to post it i got a message that if this a DevB project please post it in that section but when trying to access the DevB section got an error message that i dont have permission to edit anything and should contact administrator so posted it here

so the thing is around 6-7 months back i got samsung tizen TM1 reference device at one of the samsung developer conference ,

after so long they have alunched latest version of tizen OS 2.4 and also the binaries (i dont know whats that) for the reference device so that the reference device will work fine with the tizen 2.4 OS

source.tizen.org/documentation/reference/flash-device

on the above link they have provided the instruction for flashing the device using Ithor , but i am unable to understand it as i am new to linux too , though i have installed ubuntu on my system but its only for making the system safe. ;) , cleaning infected usb , backup if window fails to boot....:p:p:p

also i have read that many guys use Odin for flashing the device

now my question are

1. What is the difference between Odin and Ithor

2.Can i install both Odin and Ithor on both Ubuntu and Windows

3.If yes can someone provide me the download link for Odin for Ubuntu and Windows and Ithor for Windows and Ubuntu , kindly dont ask me to download on ubuntu using "sudo apt get " commands on ubuntu i want the download links actually as i have slow internet connection and unable to find any direct download links for Ithor and Odin

Once the above 3 issues are resolved and i think i will have a fair understanding of what i will be doing , if someone of you is kind enough to explain me in little more details what is the actual process the guys are trying to explain on the link below

source.tizen.org/documentation/reference/flash-device

so i can flash my phone and see how it works

That's good to hear. I assumed you had already tried that since that was also in the partial instructions you posted, but that's what I get for assuming you would have logically tried. Why didn't you just try putting it there to begin with when moving to system/app didn't work, trying in system/priv-app would have been the obvious next step to try.
[General Questions and Answers] xenreon:
Ok so let's first clarify the matter with DevDB

Devdb is XDA's development database made to give rom, kernel and other development project threads a cleaner and more organized structure (if the developer wants for sure), It's only for development "projects" and not for regular things like questions etc. and also it's only available for senior members and up so I think the reason you got an error while trying to make a Devdb is because you're not a senior member yet (to become a senior member you have to make minimum 100 posts)

Now you're questions :

1. lthor is a flashtool for tizen devices like Odin is a flashtool for android devices with download mode

2. Odin isn't available for Linux platforms so you're only hope is wine etc. That too aren't fully reliable, but there is an alternative available called "Heimdall" (Google "Heimdall" to get it)

For lthor windows version, check this

3. You can Google "Odin download" to get regular Odin for windows and "Heimdall" to get heimdall, but I have no idea about lthor

They described the "flashing" method for a tizen device in in-depth there, flashing is basically modifying or installing a new operating system on your device (not necessarily "new" or other, but rather a different version of the same operating system mostly) you can do more research on Google about it

Is this happening with every launcher or some certain launcher ? If with some certain launcher then it's a problem with that launcher and you'll have to use a different one

But if it's happening with every launcher then it's probably a compatibility issue of the app itself
