Is it possible for you to unlock your bootloader? Go to settings > Developer Options > enable OEM Unlocking > "adb reboot bootloader" > "fastboot oem unlock"
[General Questions and Answers] Lanfrj:
Ohh i did the command fastboot oem unlock in the fastboot prompt via pc. After the command ive got something like "oem already unlocked", i dont remember exactly. I just did this step now on my phone in the devs options and is activated now.
[General Questions and Answers] Fobos531:
Well that's great to hear! If there isn't a TWRP available for your device, I suggest trying to port it to your device yourself.

Read this: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1943625

Find a device which has the same chipset (Snapdragon 430) as your does, for example, WIleyfox Swift 2: https://github.com/teamwin/android_device_wileyfox_marmite

And use its device tree as a base for porting. Adapt it for your device (most notably the BoardConfig.mk and recovery.fstab) and then compile it and flash it through fastboot.

Join the #twrp channel on freenode IRC, you'll get a lot of valuable help there.

Good luck!

Many thanks for the reply but i can only follow a step by step guide or simple instruction. Compile my own code or customize one, even a simple one, is out of my reach :)
[General Questions and Answers] MigoMujahid:
The guide was given to you is the best one because it was created by one of members of the TWRP team, but it requires some knowledge of basic Linux commands, i don't think there's a step by step guide for that, it would be hard to build TWRP if you know nothing at all about programming, but you can try following the guide, you may succeed :)

Hey guys, I had a question. I could find no better place to ask this, so I'll post it here.

So Google has released Google Assistant SDK which, they say will let devs to develop assistant for "any" device. So I was wondering is it possible to develop Assistant for android 4.4.2? I don't like it on the Allo app. I use Xperia T2 ultra, if that helps. Cheers! :laugh:

According to the list of officially supported platforms, you need "Gingerbread+ for Android," so it should be possible.

Can someone help me try and learn what I need to do? I own a ZTE Axon 7 (A2017U) and I am looking for a way to move the stock Dolby Atmos app and the Qualcomm IZAT location service over to custom roms, I am interested in learning how to either package these into an flashable TWRP .zip file or integrate them into an existing built rom.

Any pointers on what I need to do?

So far I have managed to find xtra_t_app.apk which I believe is Qualcomms Izat apk but I can't find the dolby app anywhere, what do I do next? Would it work to use an app like titanium backup to restore them to a custom rom?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You'll probably have to do some porting to get them to work in a custom ROM if the ROM uses a custom kernel(unless your ROM uses a stock kernel) because they're stock system apps. Once you have them ported to work in your ROM, you can include them in the ROM along with all of its other system apps.

Stock system apps that were backed up from stock then restored in a custom ROM usually causes more problems than the apps are worth.

Does anyone know how I can get Chromium to stop creating a new tab (or switching back to the same new tab it created the time before) almost every time I open it?

I download builds from https://chromium.woolyss.com/ and this started a couple weeks back. I switched to Lightning for my primary use-case, and I'm actually preferring that now, but Lightning won't load maps.google.com so I'm still opening Chromium to look up an address now and then.

Way back when I still ran gapps and just used Chrome, I used this command-line text file solution to force desktop mode, is there something similar I can do with Chromium for this?
[General Questions and Answers] MigoMujahid:
You tried Gello or Pyrope?

I'm using Pyrope and it doesn't have that issue you encounter.
[General Questions and Answers] oops_mr_gumby:
I haven't tried those ones. I guess I should update my Lineage install and try their Chromium fork...
[General Questions and Answers] MigoMujahid:
Pyrope is available in playstore, you can try it anytime, no need to upgrade, same for Gello but Gello is available from the XDALabs store.
[General Questions and Answers] oops_mr_gumby:
I don't have gapps/play store, but I suppose grabbing apks from XDA is no different to grabbing them from that Chromium dev's page, I'll give them a shot. Hopefully neither will inherit the issue from upstream ... Have you tried both and prefer Pyrope (it has an XDALabs page too) then?

-----

Can't install Pyrope because of the "Browser" from LOS. I guess I'll just try using that for now.

[General Questions and Answers] MigoMujahid:
I disabled the default browser, and using Pyrope now, for some reason i liked Pyrope more than Gello, Gello is a big power consumer.
[General Questions and Answers] oops_mr_gumby:
I tried disabling it last night (the stock "Browser" Gello version), and just now I also cleared its data but it still won't install because "package conflicts with an existing package by the same name". Debating whether to remove it entirely with Titanium Backup. Maybe it's my ancient LOS build, everything still has "cyanogenmod" in its name.

Tried downloading an apk of the new/lightweight browser Jelly but the version on XDA does not play nice with the maps website as yet, keeps refreshing the page when I try to scroll or zoom the map.

When you say Gello uses too much power, do you mean the stock version in LOS?

Thanks for your help btw!

ROM Downloads from MediaFire

Hello all, I'm new to rooting and to Android really. I have a couple questions. Why can't I download at the links given? Mediafire will not work for me and I registered even. The device I am working on is old. It's a Viewsonic G-tab and I've successfully flashed several ROMs to it. The newer ones are so cluttered, I'm trying to download some of the older ROMs, or ones that seems more customizable. I want to use it just for email. A devoted device. I would like a ROM that isn't always talking to Google. etc. Anyway. I have downloaded from other sites, but a couple of the ROMs I want to try are on that site and I cannot get it to work. Is there something I'm doing wrong? A setting I should change? They are Free correct or do I have to pay to download from that site? Is there an alternate site that houses some of these older files?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
ROMs and links to download don't last forever because the ROMs and links aren't maintained, they get dropped after a while because there is new development. You probably won't find a site with the old ROMs, you'll have try and find someone that has kept copies of these older ROMs for your device.
[General Questions and Answers] Fobos531:
In addition to what Droidriven said, you can try googling the broken ROM zip's name to see if it's hosted elsewhere.

Hello

I have a Huawei G PLay G735 L03

I've seen some Custom ROM but but everybody speak about CHE1-L04 or Che1_CL20 so ¿Where can I find or know what CHE1 is my phone?
[General Questions and Answers] Dodgexander:
Thanks, since I asked I actually have that version installed via the arise mod. It's not quite the same as the ZTE one as it's missing the demo video...but then again there are more config options on this version so it might be better. The problem is being able to tell if it sounds as good as stock!

Qualcomm IZAT however doesn't seem to be something even used anywhere outside of South Korea so there's little point. I'm going to take a look at the porting section of the forum though because it would be interesting to see if I can learn how to port them over.
[General Questions and Answers] MigoMujahid:
It's different, in my device LOS we replaced Gello with Jelly, i didn't like jelly as well, it's so buggy, did you try uninstalling the stock browser completely?, not sure if that can help, but you should try it.
[General Questions and Answers] medusa5567:
So next question, if you guys are familiar with that device or tell which forum I should go to. Alot of the forums for this device look inactive. It is pretty old. lol But what I like about it is it has the removable drives. That's my biggest complaint about ipads. I hate cloud crap. I'm old school. Anyway, I flashed bright corner, frankentab, dirty bean and paranoid android. The first two were a bit too dated and the last too I think were more than I needed and affected performance. Any thoughts on which ROM might fit my needs?

The other device I'm working on is Trio Model Stealth Pro. Cheapy and it looks like there isn't a whole lot out there for it. Are there any developers who make non Google Operating Systems for Droid devices? Or could I maybe flash like an endless OS or something like that? I know you can load the viewsonic with Ubuntu, but a pure linux distro is too much admin and crap for me.

Thanks for any thoughts or direction you can give me. I'm kinda getting into this. haha Rooting and flashing Custom Roms. It's fun, but I need to settle on one so I can get back to productive again. Thanks again.

I was just reading about the lineage OS, which can run with no Google Account needed? So all those google services are (or can be) removed? That would be great as Google has gotten out of control IMO. I hate all the processes they run, that I can never seem to perm stop. I've gotten really annoyed as of late with the amount of data collected and uploaded. You pay for the device and then you don't even have the option to uninstall and opt out. They should be paying us for the information they gather. But yet we pay them to record every fart. Sorry rant over.
[General Questions and Answers] oops_mr_gumby:
So they got rid of Gello entirely and just have Jelly as the "Browser" now? Maybe that's where my problem comes from, trying to install Pyrope... I guess once I finally get around to updating LOS, Pyrope will then be allowed to install.

I'm debating completely removing/uninstalling stock Gello (the "Browser" from my February build), but I will probably just leave it and see how it goes using it for maps.google.com, then try Pyrope again after I update LOS. Monday is a holiday here so I might actually flash a current build sooner rather than later.

I just have to say that the naming of these browsers are just the funniest and confusing at the same time... I wouldn't be surprised if they begin the Jam Browser followed by the Peanut Butter Browser... LMAO!!!

Okay... now back to business... LOL!...

Have you taken a look at the following XDA links as an FYI/Reference Point?

[APP][5.0+][Chromium/gello(CM)] Pyrope Browser - Browser with integrated AdBlock by Ninnix96

Gello Mod by Ninnix96 - XDA Labs

Pyrope Browser by Ninnix96 - XDA Labs

Just a Suggestion in case you may not have known/seen them for Prerequisites, Instructions, etc...

Also, anytime i updated my Gello Browser with the Gello Mod Browser, i had never uninstalled it because 1) it's a system app and 2) The Gello Mod was created as an update to the Stock Gello Browser.

[General Questions and Answers] oops_mr_gumby:
Agreed!

Do you update as a system app then, overwriting the existing version (not sure how to do that if so)? Or can Gello Mod exist alongside the stock version?

I have seen those links btw, but I'm still not clear if both are actively developed or if Pyrope has superseded Gello Mod? Is one only good for Snapdragon devices while the other works on any - or do they both work on any device, just one of them works better on Snapdragons?

Hey, guys, I asked a question in the LG G4 forums but I fear it might not be answered soon enough since it is a very time-related matter I am posting this here as well please forgive me for the inconvenience I may have caused. So I might have made a big mistake. I am currently using Pixel XL as my daily driver for a couple months. My girlfriend broke her iphone and needed a replacement for a couple days so without thinking I picked up my old LG g4 and set a new account to gave it to her. Because, well I was trying to be a good boyfriend, but I didn't think it through. That phone is filled with *cough* *cough* Sensitive pictures and videos in the gallery and in the hide it pro app that could compromise the entire relationship. I have been freaking about this for an hour and so and I need help. I opened another account on my pixel and couldn't see my pictures, which was reassuring, but I can't stop but thinking that it's not the case with the LG can you guys check it for me so I can have a plan of action. PS she has really limited knowledge of the android ecosystem and any sort of technology in general.

PS** The main account is password protected and she doesn't know the passcode.

Youtube app pairing code missing on Nexbox A95X

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is the proper thread for my question or maybe I should go to a more specific one.

I bought a Nexbox A95X Android TV box. It has Android 6.0.1 and the official fimrware (NEXBOX-A95X-AP3660-6.0.1-201608060952).

I'm happy with it, but I have one seroius problem. I usually watch a lot of music videos from Youtube and desperately need the TV pairing option that allows me to use the Youtube interface on my desktop PC browser to search, select and start videos but the video would actually play on the TV box device.

The main problem is the when I open the Youtube app settings menu on the box, the pairing code does not appear.

I already spent a lot of time reading forums, googling and trying to install different apps, but no success.

I read that for this function I need the Android TV version of certain apps. So removed and reinstalled different versions from downloaded apk files.

I've tried the YouTube for Android TV versions 1.3.8 and 1.3.11. I also tried several different versions of Google Play services (Android TV) and Google Cast Receiver (Android TV) as well. Still no success, the pairing/linking menu options and the pairing code won't appear under settings.

Here there is an example screenshot what I'm exactly looking for on this box: https://ibb.co/faQMFv

Could you give me any advice how to find a working solution?
[General Questions and Answers] Ryxban:
Hi, I have a question I am really not sure about. I tried looking for an answer online but most of the answers I got are for the SGS5 and I have SGS5 mini, G800H btw. The issue is, I know that this phone can be updated to Android 6.0 but my carrier does not have an OTA even for 5.1, still stuck in 4.4, I want to know if it is possible to download the firmware from another carrier and flash it with the stock recovery mode. Since I can't root the phone and I do not have access to a computer. Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Possibly, but you'd need to make sure the update will work on your device. Just because the update is for S5 doesn't mean it works on your specific model number of S5. These things go by the model number you have.
[General Questions and Answers] Ryxban:
We are talking about G800H? So if I find the firmware 6.0 from another carrier for G800H, In theory it should work?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If there is another carrier with that model number then yeah.

It is possible that it doesn't have to be for G800H, some devices can flash from other model numbers, it just depends on if all their hardware is the same.
[General Questions and Answers] Ryxban:
Hey thanks, so the last question I have, with the correct firmware, what's the steps to flash the firmware from recovery mode? Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If what you download can be flashed in recovery then just store the download on the device then boot to recovery and choose "apply update from sdcard" I have no idea what the name of the file will be so you'll have to pay attention to that when you download it.

Wipe cache after flashing,

i am in desperate need of help. i have ruined 2 phones in under 24 hours and i cant make heads or tails of this coding. I really need someone that would be willing to take a little time and speak with me and answer my questions and walk me thought fixing (hopefully) my phone just once and from then on im like a steal trap and i wont forget. i have a sort of photographic memory but it is closer to a muscle memory brain. once someone that knows guides me thought it ONCE i never forget. i know yall dont do this normly but i have a slight learning disability and i have been reading and trying to follow these guides and forums for about 18 months and so far i have moved from not knowing anything to just this week finally was able to root a 2 phones with KingRoot and then within an hour ruin them both and i still have no idea what i did to do so. i didnt install ANY custom anything. i only added 4 apps, KingRoot, TitaniumRecovery, CWM and TWRP. And i have been looking for bout 6 hours for the backup i made with Titanium and still havent found it. Please i am begging for some guidance. Thank you. i can be emailed at sprouts2007@gmail.com.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The simple solution would be to do a Google search for:

"Return to stock (your model number)"

If your stock firmware is available for download that will find it and instructions to flash it.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
You may be able to use Android Device Manager to remotely wipe your device, then say, "Huh, what happened? Let me fix it for you."

Instead of repeatedly saying "thanks" and giving thumbs up emojis, you can click the "Thanks!" button on helpful posts. This helps other users know who among us are more helpful towards others.

No one can help you without the phone brand and model numbers. With luck, someone can help you bring your phones back to life. And if you can't make heads or tails of this, maybe you shouldn't do it.

thats a great idea idk why i didnt do that except i have been for 4 days straight now. it doenstnt exsist. if i did i would have probably at least figured that out by now. there is nothing but people looking for it. i just need the phone to boot past the carrier splash screen and function.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If your stock firmware isn't available for download then you're in a bad position. It's gonna take having the stock firmware to fix this. The next best option would be to use the firmware from a similar device with similar hardware, no guarantees the other firmware will work though.

Or you can try flashing a copy of your stock recovery to get rid of CWM or TWRP(whichever one you have).

If you successfully rooted with kingroot and you get it to boot after flashing stock recovery, you can use kingroot root permission to remove root and kingroot.
