The service is called "off mode charging". Where the animation is located depends on the device in question, all devices are different. You'll need to search based on the device you have.

What I'm asking is if apps that have the root permission - have implicit access to everything without needing to ask for access eg. contacts, internet, read/write permission to internal/external storage.

thank you
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, root permissions are granted by the user at least once to the apps that you want to allow access, you can choose to give them access just once, for a few minutes, or you can give them permanent root access. Then there is also the option to control exactly which permissions your apps can use such as access to storage, contacts, etc. They have default permissions and will prompt you for other permissions when they need them if you haven't already set them to have the required permission.

As for reading/writing to system, that can require other things besides just granting root access, such as using an app with root explorer(ES File Explorer for example) that you get access to and also set mount R/W permissions, also some things require busybox along with root, some android versions require forcing SELinux Permissive mode or some of your mods and root apps won't work.

In other words, there is more to it than just having root and granting root permissions. There are factors that change what you can do and how you can do it depending on your device brand, device model number, and the android version being used.

There is no general yes or no to what youre asking.

There are a flurry of FB alternatives besides the official app. Metal comes to mind but there are others. Best bet would be to hit the Playstore and run a search and sort through it to find the one that suits your needs.

I can suggest you folio for Facebook, it's a lightweight version of the official app (kinda) with possibility to integrate Twitter & Google+, it has very active development, frequent updates and it's really got better over the time but that is my personal choice..

Also you can set the news feed more individually

Hi guys, I know this might not be the place for this question, but since I'm pretty desperate I'll give it a go anyway. So I have Philips Android TV (PFT5500) and I'm having some troubles with in-house stock browser... So I have this streaming service that on Smart TV's works only on built-in browsers (not that there are many other browser options for Android TVs nowadays) and when I start it the site closes/crashes after exactly (to the second) 5 minutes of video streaming. The browser doesn't not crash, only the site and gets me back to the browsers "home page" whit favorites etc... I'm guessing that this is something with Android, the TV itself is I think entry level but it's not that bad or old, I think it was produced startin 2016, and received few Android upgrades few months ago being the last one.

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this, obviously I tried cleaning cache, reinstalling the tv... To no avail. It still goes for exactly 5 minutes and crashes.

Thanks for any kind or amount of help guys.

Hello everyone:

I have a charging issue on my galaxy s4 GT-I9506 running on RR nougat 7.1.1 rom

I downloaded Ampere app to see how much ma my phone is taking from the charger, using the original cable the app shows charging 300ma (min: 300ma and max: 300ma), I tried to connect an unoriginal cable to the same charger and it raised to (min: 640 - max: 1200 ma) which mean it's still slow charging,

But when I tried an asus cable on my original charger the app showed (min: 1900ma - max: 1900ma) and that's how my charger supposed to work but will this has any negative effects in the future on my battery life??

And is there anyway to make it charge normally on the original cable??

[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Charging rates up to 2000mah don't effect battery negatively, I use generally 2000mah controlled by custom kernel :) also using 3rd party equipment isn't a issue

The cable issue is difficult as you don't have influence on it, cables get faulty over time and I had to replace my original cable too as it couldn't bring the listed performance anymore... Nothing you can do here except finding a good one...

[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
OK, assuming you are on your stock firmware and haven't done any modifications which could cause these sudden reboots it points to a hardware issue but to be sure I would find out how to enter Recovery on your phone (Google) and wipe cache, if not successful you can reflash your firmware (Google how to do) but careful, backup your data cause every will be deleted..

If non of that helps I would check if the device is still under warranty and do a RMA..

No unfortunately not, you only get the stock icons unless you run Xposed and there is a module to change those icons.

[General Questions and Answers] Ashwinrg:
Xposed is framework for modules that can make changes to your system like change appearance and look of your android and also increase performance. You android must be rooted.

If you are using 4.0 - 4.4 then install Xposed apk and click on install/update. If you are using 5.0 - 6.0 then you need to flash Xposed flashable zip to install Xposed.

First make nandroid backup from your custom recovery before installing Xposed.

I've successfully flashed resurrection rom recently on my Samsung galaxy S5 sm-g900i Australian edition. Was just wondering is there a way to get the stock camera app or even a port of the Samsung S7 app to run on the phone?

Hi guys, I'm a new user here with sooo much help needed. I'm looking for a solution regarding my phone.

My phone model is Alcatel OneTouch Magic.

The problem is that when i switch it on, its stuck on the logo screen. I remember this phone is infected with something that causes ads to appear on the screen.

Anyway, I dont mind losing all the data inside, so long as this phone is fixed. I'm able to boot into system recovery mode if that helps at all, I've tried factory data reset, wiping cache partition, and its still stuck so yeah.

Searched around the web, most suggest flashing a new rom, and i need someone to show me a step by step guide on how to do that, because I'm not too tech savvy. Flashing a new rom, restore a stock rom. whichever it is, I dont mind. as long as I'm able to use the phone.

Thanks guys hope you can show me where I can find solutions to this problem. Somebody pointed out to ask here.

Also I wanted to ask since there are no reputable custom roms available for this device, what else can I do after rooting?
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
You can use Xposed to modify your phone to give it a custom ROM experience.

You can install V4A for way better audio quality.

You can edit your build.prop to get things working that shouldn't on your device, such as getting split-screen on Marshmallow, or Google Assistant on Nougat.

You can uninstall and/or freeze system apps.

Just to name a few things that you can do with a rooted phone that you can't do un-rooted.

New info on how to modify ROMS

Hello,

I'm sorry maybe this is such a common question but I did some searching around on google and also here on XDA and I don't seem to find anything. I was wanting to know if someone can point me in the right direction as to how to extract roms and modify them. Maybe some sort of starters guide and then I can go from there. I have some knowledge on flashing roms and a little knowledge of Linux. I was wanting to learn on how to make my own ROM's for different android device I have. I've seen a lot of different tutorials and most of it looked outdated. I don't know if that is still current or if there is something easier or newer as to extracting and re-packing roms after modification. Sorry for such a long post. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction with more current info then what I've been seeing around the net.

Thank you in advance,

Whatsapp media backup mess

Hey guys!! I need some help regarding my Whatsapp backup. My internal sd card storage got cleaned somehow (I still don't know how) and it contains the Whatsapp folder but it's empty now. Now all my Whatsapp media is gone and naturally I get the "This media file doesn't exist on your internal storage error". However, I screwed up and backed up to google drive thinking that newer media would add up in drive but it didn't add up, it overwrote(the mistake):silly: So now I have all the chats backed up in drive but all the older media got overwritten/deleted from the drive. I need that media. I don't have a copy of it. I don't think there is a way to get back to older version of google drive backup.:( However when I restored back to my older ROM backup through twrp recovery, I found that the Whatsapp folders were empty even there. I checked all 3 of my older ROM Nandroid backups . All were in the same condition (Empty Whatsapp folders without media files).:mad:Why is this so? Shouldn't Nandroid backups through twrp revert back to the exact same state? I just hope to use older Nandroid backups to recover my Whatsapp media. It's possible, right? Please suggest alternative ways if any.
[General Questions and Answers] strongst:
You're sure you have backup your internal storage with twrp on all 3 nandroid backups? The whatsapp media and DB is located in internal storage by default and if you make a nandroid backup for default, internal storage isn't backed up. That's why when you restoring one of the 3 nandroid backups your whatsapp folder on internal storage is empty every time.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Do you have USB debugging turned on? Are you using the stock USB cable? Have you tried factory resetting and wiping cache in TWRP and then booting to download mode to flash with Odin? What options are checked in Odin when you flash?

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

The folder still shows as empty because that folder is in /data/media(android folder), /data/media is part of your internal storage (user partition) and that doesn't get backed up by default when you create a nandroid backup, you have to choose to include your internal storage before creating the nandroid backup.

Pretty much, it means that the data that you lost is gone and there's no way to recover it from Google drive. If the folder it was stored in on your device has not been formatted or overwritten then you might be able to recover it from your device with some kind of data recovery software, no guarantees though.
