AutoRotate is Working Partly.

Hi All,

I am using LOS 14.1 unofficial (by dl12345 user from XDA) in my N910C. AutoRotate doesn't work and i found a solution which is working partly. What does mean partly?

I added these to my build.prob with adb.

log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=VERBOSE
lockscreen.rot_override=true

And i've set permission of build.prop like this.

chmod 644 build.prop

Then rebooted to System.

I tested AutoRotate and it is working good even if i am in main (lock) screen. 2-3 days later i realized it is not working anymore mysterious. In the meanwhile i rebooted the device 1-2 times within 2-3 days. I started to look for a new fix and found this command.

ro.sf.hwrotation=360

I deleted first two (2) commands and added this command to the build.prop with adb and set the permission like that.

Rebooted to System and tested. It is working good and today i realized it is not working again.

I started to think what is the problem? It is working some and not working anymore. Why? I couldn't find the problem.

I need your ideas and experiences.

P.S: I don't want to use an app always for this.

EDIT: I had edited and pushed build.prop 1 hour ago and had tested, it was working. I looked now and again it is not working :confused: I understood this is not related with 2-3 days, just minutes. I am really confused.

EDIT2: I enabled Auto Rotation with this command, didn't work.

root@kali:~/Downloads/platform-tools# adb shell settings put system accelerometer_rotation 1

I enabled user_rotation with this command, it is working.

root@kali:~/Downloads/platform-tools# adb shell settings put system user_rotation 1

Results of rests:

Disabled Accelerometer, enabled user_rotation=working

Enabled Acceleremoter, configured user_rotation with 0=not working

Enabled Accelerometer, configured user_rotation with 1=not working

As a result when i enabled Auto Rotation, is not working.

EDIT3: I installed this app and tested Accelerometer. I can rotate my phone 360 degree without enabling AutoRotate feature. I had thought my phone's accelerometer is broken, but not.

Thank you so much.

Have a happy day.

I have s5301 that I have rooted and installed exposed on .. Now when I try to use xblast tools module on xposed the screen of the app is big and not showing the bottom options .. So what can I do for this ??

Is there a way to increase screen resolution or resolution of app itself ? Or maybe just mirror the screen to a PC and extend it some how ??

Android version 4.0.4

Stock ROM

And BTW .. Is there any custom ROM that is still working or just stable ??

Hi

I have an oppo r11s. Fastboot unlocking the bootloader is not a possibility as everyone knows, oppo have disabled fastboot in their phones. Now there's an option for 'oem unlock' in dev options, but it says "allow unlocking of the app loading guide"

Any ideas? What does that mean?

Kind regards
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
That means that when that option is enabled, the device is in a state that it "can" be unlocked if the proper tools/services are available. As you stated, the tools/services are no longer available options, this means that you still won't be able to unlock if they have removed the fastboot functionality from your device unless there is some other method other than using fastboot.

Hi.

I've finally got used to using a touchpad keyboard with my Lenovo tab4 8 plus. But the mouse Icon has been a bit strange since an update to android 7.1.1. The tablet came with 7.0. On that, the mouse icon was a typical arrow. Pointing upwards and leaning slightly to the left. After the upgrade to 7.1.1, the icon is now like a crosshair in a game. A small circle with 4 lines going up, downa nd side to side. Now I wouldn't mind this if the center is the center, but it isn't. It behaves exacty like the arrow. Say i am selecting a forum page, so a small number, i cant have the number in the center of this crsshair. I have to have it slightly to the right and under the number. I have to position it as if it was the old arrow with the top left tip of the arrow on the number. I've slowly got used to it, but it is a bit poor that it isn't at all accurate. Is there any way of gettng a custom icon with any app? When on programs you haven't used before, you have to try positioning the crosshair in a lot of what seem the wrong psition before it selects what you want. The arrow was far better. But this would be fine if it was accurate.

Thanks for any advice.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There are some apps in the PlayStore and Xposed modules that can change your mouse pointer icon, but they all require root as far as I know.

Notifications are on for xda app but I never ever get then?? Even with different rooms never got one xda notification? Why?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Use an internet browser to view the forum, find the gear icon at the top of the page or go to your XDA profile page, look for an option that says "control panel", then find your notification settings, use those settings to choose which notifications you want and how you'd like to receive those notifications.

Hello, can anyone help me with my storage problem in Samsung Manager. After installing optional adaptable storage and formatting sd card as internal memory, my available memory in samsung manager is messed up. Its 6.0.1 so I flashed TWRP before installing optional adaptable storage patch and as a result I cant download larger files from Google Play. Now if someone could point me to fix memory problem or change Google Play download location, I would be grateful. Or maybe this is all normal.

Sorry if its in the wrong thread.

I've got more of a confirmation type of question for the pro's here! :eek:

My daughter is waiting for a New-Used Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920V) to come in the mail.

She had asked me (in so many words) if the bootloader could be unlocked for a Custom Firmware and, since I don't have one myself, I told her that I'll look into it.

After reading approximately a dozen or so threads, regarding this topic, it looks like I've came to the following conclusion.

It looks like the Verizon Variant of the S6 is apparently one of (if not the only one) that has a Bootloader that's locked up tighter than a bank vault.

Am I correct in this conclusion?

I have seen a few confirmed ways to Root and also TW ROM alternatives but, before telling her this, I just wanted to be sure of my findings.

Maybe [MENTION=5691352]Droidriven[/MENTION] knows? :eek:

Thank you very much for your time! :)

[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
No you are in the right thread. Now, I think that the software is buggy, i.e. the code for making sd card as internal storage. Use it as portable storage. If you are rooted use Xposed module obb on sd from play store

;)
[General Questions and Answers] YiNiX:
Module requires framework which causes boot loops on stock ROM's right ? Do you have a link to unofficial version of xposed framework which wont cause boot loop on my J5 so that I can use module.

EDIT : Nevermind I got xposed on the phone, can u instruct me on how to use obb on sd and what are available options for?
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
It is an app on play store. Download it. Check the first option and you are done.

Which links are allowed, which ones not?

Hello everybody,

I´m new to this forum. In my last posting I had external links removed by a moderator and don´t understand the reason. I did not find an explanation in the forum rules.

Which links are allowed in here, which ones are not?

And do you have any suggestion how I can add something to my posting to get an answer to it?

Thank you in advance
[General Questions and Answers] Oswald Boelcke:
I suggest to simply PM @SacredDeviL666 or any other moderator responsible for the respective forum? I'm convinced they are happy to explain the reason.
[General Questions and Answers] YiNiX:
Okay but Im still not quite sure how to use it with Google Play service i.e. how to download larger files on SD, because its still downloading on internal, am i supposed to move Obb from Google Play service or for each game or app I want to download?
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
Yeah it will download in internal memory. Cut and paste in sdcard1/Android/obb

Edit:- Or, you can try the option of play store hook(unstable)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
As far as I know, all Verizon Samsung devices with newer than 4.4 have a locked bootloader that can't be cracked by any means. If there are any Verizon Samsung that don't have locked bootloader, I don't know of them. Verizon even locks the bootloader on their Pixel devices and those are Google devices, the only Google devices that I know of that have a locked bootloader.

Root is possible using an app, if one has an exploit that works, but TWRP is more than likely out of the question. Custom ROMs are out of the question, unless something like Safestrap is used.

I think it is safe to say, stay away from Verizon devices if you want a device that can be modded. Most android modders avoid Verizon like the plague.

You can't post links to warez software, warez software is software that can be used to get stuff for free instead of paying for it, this rule exists because this a site for software developers, these are the people that warez is used to steal from, that's why they don't allow warez software here.

When in doubt, ask yourself, "can this software be used to get other software for free when it is supposed to be paid for?" If the answer to that is yes, then it can't be posted here.

You can't post links to sites that require the user to register an account to view that site or download files from that site.

Ask yourself, "does this site require people to register an account to see the content there or to download a file?" If the answer to that is yes, it can't be posted here.

When a Moderator removes links here, it is standard procedure to send you a PM explaining why they did it and they also post a description of the rule that was broken. Check your XDA inbox, you should have a message from the Moderator.
[General Questions and Answers] YiNiX:
So do I attempt to download from Google play and when it fails due to insufficent memory, I paste created folder in android/obb in system to one on sd card? That is not working and yeah I selected play store hook too but how to download directly on SD card, should I move data as well from android system. Im not really sure where are files from Google Playstore stored on android.

Edit : Maybe I should just use XinternalSD instead or together with OBB on SD?
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
The older version of the obb on sd is known as the xinternalsd. They are the same app. If play store hook is not working download the app + obb from any other trusty site (eg. Up to down). Then place the obb folder in the directory said above.
[General Questions and Answers] YiNiX:
Ah well thanks for letting me know for Uptodown but now the question is did I even need xposed and obb on sd for this since I can install straight to sd card. Should I uninstall obb on sd and its framework or leave it be? As far as i get it, all I needed for uptodown is rooted device. Anyway thanks to everyone who answered to my questions so far.

EDIT : Well I dont know why I granted it acces but it doesnt need root plus the application failed to install some apps.
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
Well, if you don't install the module you can't access your obb files from your sd card. The apps will simply ask to download the file again i.e. they will not recognise the obb there. The app does not need root access itself, it gets root from xposed. Now, go to Xposed app, put a check on the checkbox right of obb on sd, then reboot. Then all you have to do is manually place the file in the obb folder. Done.

Hello everyone,

First time in this friendly community and first time attempting to root. I've been looking but I haven't been able to find the answer, but I have a galaxy s7 (sm-g930p).

Android version - 8.0

security patch - oct 1,2018

I would like to root my phone but I've had no luck, at it's current state is it rootable?
[General Questions and Answers] DB126:
Possible but not straight forward. You will need to do some reading and take some risks. Below is the most appropriate XDA forum to start your research. Keep in mind carrier branded devices often have different procedures.

You dont seem to understand me, lets leave xposed and module aside, I've actually wanted to say that I only needed Uptodown to download on SD card but the stupid app wont install applications or games like PubG or FB.

[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
Yeah you really misunderstood me. I am talking about the up to down site and not the app. download pubg from there, store it in sd card. Then reply, I'll tell you the rest
[General Questions and Answers] YiNiX:
I've actually tried to do that first time I visited that site but couldnt find options to download from page, only applications, I'll look it up again.
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
Search for the game. When you get it, click on latest version(blue square). Then click on download. the page is the same but instead of latest version there is download option(green box). Set default download location to somewhere in SD card. Don't worry if it downloads xapk file. I will tell you the rest once you do that:good:
[General Questions and Answers] YiNiX:
Guess Im just stupid, ok I got it on SD now, also all options in obb on sd enabled ( Im on 6.0.1 ) , should I try to install it now?
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
Put the folder containing the obb file(com.tencent.ig in case of pubg) and paste the FOLDER CONTAINING THE OBB FILE in SD card / Android / obb. Then install the app. Be sure to copy the obb file so that you have a backup.

Note:- If it's an xapk file, change extension to .zip and decompress it, then you will find the app and obb in there
[General Questions and Answers] YiNiX:
Thanks a lot man, is this same procedure for every app that I want on SD? PUBG is running but we will see how it performs on 1.5GB RAM and Im never buying phone with 8GB again. Actually I have one more question I misunderstood you before and I downloaded Uptodown app and tried installing and downloading with it, I granted it root access ( guess Im stupid? ) and phone restarted once without reason while downloading, do you think Uptodown application did any harm to my android phone. Although I run a malwarebytes scan and It found something but its not related to that app.

Btw. is it safe for me to update xposed through app, I flashed wanam's custom version.

Thank you for guiding me through this.
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
I don't think it has done any harm, but please do not Grant root access to any apps outside of play store without consulting an experienced(in or out of xda)personnel. Play store apps are harmless. No risk in granting root access. But not outsider apps.

And yes you can run any game with obb by this process.;)
[General Questions and Answers] YiNiX:
Beautiful and is it safe to update xposed through app since I have wanam's custom build.

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
To be honest, I'm starting to wonder if you might be using some kind of tool to get apps for free that should be paid for.

I'm wondering because of all the discussion about your obb files and the fact that you said you did a scan with Malwarebytes and it found "something" unrelated to the app you were trying to install. I only say this becauss apps used to get other apps for free would be seen as a threat by Malwarebytes, files from "cracked" apps would also be detected by Malwarebytes.

Phone and computer not generating rsa key for debug but computer picks up phone

So, to expand further on my issue of Odin failing after "SetupConnection", I confirmed that my computer has the most recent drivers that it could find for ADB and the universal mobile drivers (both from Samsung and Google.. i tried both at different times to see if one my work over the other) My computer detects my Note 9 just fine.. I can access files, use the internet, speaker out, and even use my phone as slave monitor etc. However, when I enable USB debugging in the developer options, there is NO conformation of allowing any sort of "computer" to connect with the device.. no rsa key.. no nothing. ADB doesn't recognize the device which it too shows the device as "Offline".

I have rootbrowser, and searched in my storage/data/adb/adb_key and its empty.. There was no hand shake rsa key generated by my phone to the computer vise versa..

I've tried re installing my drivers on my computer and rebooting the PC at least 8 times now

I've turned USB debugging on and off and revoked permissions several times

I've tried every different USB ports on my motherboard.. even went as far to use my type-c on my mother board, then run my stock charger to its otg adapter that came in the box and still nothing lol (no hubs but I tried my external 2.0 and 3.0 ports too just because)

I've tried using a different cable other than my stock cable.. no luck there

I've tried downloading Kies to see if its a compatibility error which oddly enough Kies prompts me to get Smart Switch since my device is no longer supported.. bruh

The 2 things I haven't done:

- Re install Windows 10/ wipe my phone and factory reset the device (kinda my LAST resort options)

- IDK

I am currently downloading the Android Studio to see what else my options might be

But i'm at the conclusion that there is no "hand shake" between my phone and my computer as far as enabling USB debugging. Its as if the device is unplugged, but its not lol.

I've lost alot of sleep over this and wont stop searching until I find an answer. I want my Pie. Oreo wore me out..

ANY help will be GREATLY appreciated <--- from one salty dude
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The Samsung drivers that you installed, did you use the official "USB drivers for Samsung phones.exe"? Are you certain they installed correctly?

When you installed the drivers, did you install them without the device being connected, then reboot PC, then hold power+home+volume down to boot into download mode(but do not press up to confirm going to download mode yet), then open Odin, then connect the device, wait a couple of minutes and then press the volume up button to confirm going to download mode. It might detect it then, if you're getting a blue or yellow box with comm:#, then you're connected properly.

Have you tried a different PC? A different version of Windows?

When you boot into download mode and connect to PC, does it make the sound that it detects a connection? Does it show anything in device manager? A "?" or a "!" symbol?

You can try connecting while in download mode and with the device manager window open to see if anything changes, try the "scan for hardware changes" option. If anything appears, click on it and look at the driver details to see which driver/function it is trying to connect with, you might have to manually select the driver so that it uses the correct driver.

If a different PC doesn't work either, try backing up your user data from the device to your PC, then factory reset the device.
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
Try these in order and recheck connection after every trial

1. Try installing drivers from windows settings/control panel.

2. Try changing transfer mode to mtp/ptp.

3. Try redownloading the command line tools.

4. Try another PC/reinstall Windows.

So I've been trying for a few weeks to rebuild/patch/update/etc the kernel for my phone (3.4.42 kernel, Motorola Droid Razr M, XT907) rooted with TWRP and bootloader unlocked. I am using the latest Ubuntu I have the kernel source downloaded and as far as I know the proper ndk and or tool chain. However it seems I am still missing some required packages or I'm missing some steps. My point is, there are many guides on XDA, but I can't only find old ones. I've gone through 4 just to try and get all the packages and even then, some don't even exist anymore. This is a old phone that still outperforms almost every device I own. It needs to be updated and I prefer stock rom over any of the custom ROMs (I've tried dozens). The kernel source is available and I can get as far as configuring. So my question is: is there any *step by step* and recent guide to doing this?
[General Questions and Answers] Strako:
Hello!

I am currently preparing a new phone for my SO since her beloved Windows Phone is dying (and support as well).

I got a used Galaxy S7 in prestine condition since she always liked the size and form factor of that phone. Now I am thinking of installing a custom ROM to keep the bloatware to a minimum and get rid of the samsung stuff while improving the OS a bit.

I think LineageOS is the way to go here but I have a few questions.

Do I need a SD card for flashing and if yes can I switch it out afterwards without causing issues?

Do I need to make the decision to install Google Apps while flashing - can't I simply install it via Play Store afterwards? (maybe the PS is not included in the first place?)

Do I need to root? What is it good for?

How stable is it really? Can one work/live with a custom ROM for like... 1 year and not care about anything?

Does the OS provide updates to new LineageOS versions you can make on your phone? (like it is right now) or do I always need to manually flash it? How are Android security updates handled?

Does updating/flashing erase all data and can I easily backup and restore the whole phone?

If I install a beta version, does it provide updates via OS?

Thanks in advance! :)
