It may not be called musicFX, it depends on the device and whether you're on stock or custom ROM. Whatever your stock sound app is, it has to be removed on some devices or viper won't work. Where or what your sound app is I don't know.

Don't mess with libs.

If you don't have some sort of sound apk in system then there shouldn't be anything for you to remove. Messing with anything else may cause issues. Try a different sound mod

Samsung Galaxy On5

I have just purchased a samsung galaxy on5. I purchased it from simple mobile, and as far as i can see nobody has it. Everyone has the tmobile and metropcs variant. I really need to root this phone and I am completely helpless. Please help. Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
If rooting is mandatory, why not make life easier and research before you buy a phone..

Rooting a device isn't something secret, if Google gives no output about this topic you'll need patience.. Maybe a working procedure will be developed
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
The device has been out for more than a year now. I doubt that anything will be built for it.

That's what you get for buying a phone with low specs when you "need" root without making sure that you can root it first.
[General Questions and Answers] BrotherMark456:
Hi everyone!

1. I have a Samsung Galaxy S 5 G900P and have been having a problem getting my TWRP 3.0.2 to store my backups to ex.S.D. For some reason, it seems as if the TWRP doesn't recognize my ex. S.D.

2. If I were to use a root browser to locate my TWRP backup for a manual move to my ex. S.D. where should it be? I have been trying to locate the file, but I am having difficulty doing so.

If anyone can assist me with either or both of these issues, I would REALLY appreciate it.

Thank you! ?

I did not see the variant properly.. you dont have to be so rude. I just asked for some help if you want to be negative go somewhere else.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
I wasn't being rude, I was stating a fact.

Not just in your case, but in posts on this thread over and over and over again.

Also, you don't "need" root, you desire root. Another thing I see here often. "PLZ HELP QUICK I NEED ROOT IT'S URGENT"

You didn't know the variant? A quote from your post: " I purchased it from simple mobile, and as far as i can see nobody has it. Everyone has the tmobile and metropcs variant."

Did you think you were getting the T-Mo or MetroPCS variant from a different carrier? smh

Next time do some research before you make your purchase.
[General Questions and Answers] Heyabhay1127:
I only realized the problem with the variant after I purchased my phone. I did do my research in advance, and as you continue to tell me, I did not do it well. Ok, im fine with admitting it, I did not do my research well. That is the exact reason I asked if anyone had a solution. I did not ask for a reminder that I made a mistake. I need root to unlock my phone, I have no desire to stay with simple mobile.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Well............ the thing is that rooting won't unlock your phone from that carrier. You'll still either have to pay an unlocking service, or pay the carrier for an unlock code. Online unlocking services are cheaper than going through your carrier, but once again, do some research first on the unlocking service that you decide on for reliability before paying them.

Hi, I own a Huawei P8 Lite Android 6 (ALE-L02) and I'm having problems with background data usage.

Something called "System account" is taking a lot of data, this is really costing me a lot lately. Can somebody please help me to disable this, work around it or reduce the data costs. It's really annoying
[General Questions and Answers] cptkian:
I have a question regarding firmware that could relock your bootloader and possibly prohibit you from gaining root access. I've always read that if you take 'Y' update/OTA and it locked your bootloader, then there would be no way for you to flash back to 'X' firmware.

Ok, so here's the questions -

1. I understand that you cannot flash back an older update, but why can't you?

2. If you did indeed take the update, on purpose or accidental and it relocked your bootloader, can you not somehow flash it back to the stock image that came with the phone? And in my case, the Pixel, if the December update comes with a patch, and I take it, and it locks my phone...is that it? I'm stuck with the update and a locked phone until further notice?

I'm think I know the unfortunate answer to question #2 but was hoping for some kind of possible work-around.

Well actually that leads me to a 3rd question -

3. I have a Verizon Pixel, but I flashed Google's factory stock image (F, then P, and I'm currently on X) when I got the the phone back in late October, if I took the December 6th OTA that supposedly will have the patch to lock the bootloader, would it just relock it and essentially become a damn-near-impossible-to-unlock-Verizon-bootloader again? Or would it somehow, magically remain a pure Google phone with a (hopefully) easily unlockable bootloader?

Thanks in advance, these are questions I've wondered about over the years (and I think I know the answer to most), and never asked about. Just looking for confirmation...good or bad.

Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
First of all, being unable to flash back or "downgrade" versions does not apply to all devices, some can downgrade and some can't, it has more to do with how new the android version is in some cases, in others it has to do with the device or carrier in question.

For the devices that can't go back, here are your answers

1)because the manufacturer or carrier wanted it that way to make customizing the device more difficult. Security patches are added from version to version, they don't want users to be able to go back to bypass these security patches.

2)Going back is going back, you can't go back, whatever the reason, period.

3)With Verizon, you can pretty much bet that the bootloader will be locked and can't be unlocked or downgraded, that is how Verizon does things.

Z3 Tablet Compact OR Nexus 9 in 2017??

I honestly LOVE the form factor of the Z3 Tablet Compact. I have always got mixed reviews about the N9. But do you guys think Z3 Tablet Compact is better in these departments:

Resolution - Which one would be higher PPI of the two? (need to know as I would be doing a lot of reading and writing)

Usability - Shouldn't be awkward to hold etc

Multimedia Consumption - The basics like YouTube OR FB

Memory Management - Know Android, lags are common. But do you think Z3 Tablet Compact does anything and everything thrown at it with ease compared to the N9?

Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Did you buy the device new or did you get it used? If you got it used then it could be that you have SM G925V but someone flashed the SM G925F firmware on your device. If you bought it new then it should the correct model number on the box or in the manual that came with the device.

Turn off file verification in TWRP
[General Questions and Answers] Percy5:
No option for that.I tried going to recovery>apply update from sdcard> but no option for turning off file verification
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you have the "apply update from sdcard" option in recovery then you have stock recovery instead of TWRP custom recovery, you can ONLY flash stock updates in stock recovery. That's why you're getting the signature failure.

You need a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP if you want to flash SuperSU.zip or anything else custom.

Find TWRP for your model and flash it via PC then you can flash SuperSU.zip.

I'm assuming you have a samsung device if the device in your signature is the device you're trying to flash SuperSU on. If you already tried flashing TWRP via Odin then you didn't boot to the new recovery properly and it reverted back to stock instead of keeping the TWRP that you flashed. If this is the case then you need to flash TWRP again with Odin but this time make sure the "autoreboot" option is UNCHECKED in Odin, then click start. After it flashes, disconnect device from PC then pull the battery from it and reinsert the battery then boot to recovery with the button method. If your battery is not removable then try booting to recovery with the buttons after it flashes. If you don't boot to the new recovery then you'll lose TWRP and it will revert back to stock recovery, you MUST boot straight to TWRP after flashing, do not let the device boot into the phone normally, you must boot to the new recovery to keep it.

change path of backup folder

hi,

i asked this question in another thread of me but i think here is the right place.

can sum1 tell me, if its possible to change the backup location to my external sd card e.g. via the command line interface? i wanna backup my data via "adb shell twrp backup DOM" but my internal storage has not enough free space so i wann change the backup folder to my external sd card! isnt this possible!?

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you're using TWRP you can change that in TWRP itself, look it up and you'll see.
[General Questions and Answers] daemonicvs:
my digitizer is broken so i cant change it in twrp the normal way.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Then connect a USB mouse to the device, android has drivers to do so by default, you can use it to make selections.

Or use adb to delete unseeded data to make room for the backup in internal, then after creating the backup you can transfer the backup to external via adb.
[General Questions and Answers] daemonicvs:
yes. but that will be the last option for me ;/ i gotta buy an otg adapter which works with my s3 mini. they r expensive. its not worth it.

Is this too expensive for you?

www.eagleg.com/micro-usb-otg-adapte...EI03XBFOhtYhOW6kCN2L-7quB2jLu8_hA8aAquP8P8HAQ

Walmart has these for about $5 if you are in the US.

There are also "powered USB hubs for android" on eBay pretty cheap if you need one that can provide power to the USB device(s) you connect.

Another option that doesn't require any extra hardware is to make an "adb backup", this can be saved on PC then restored from there, no need to put it on external.
[General Questions and Answers] daemonicvs:
maybe. and it seems to be complicated/expensive, because the s3 mini does not support otg originally.

adb never works. therer r several errors which i cant eliminate. and i tried and googled a lot.

but i could solve the problem another way. my moto g does not support the micro sd card i used to store my s3mini backup onto. so i took another smaller (8gb) sd card, put it in my s3 mini, formatted it via cwm, made a backup to /storage/sdcard1, insert the sd card in my moto and then i could restore data (without any md5 mismatch etc).

but im still convinced, that it should give an option in the twrp adb command line interface to change the backup path to the ex sd! i will try to hack it ;D

thx for your replies
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Not true, the device has the hardware but can support it with some software modification(there is a thread here at XDA that explains it, I believe it requires a powered USB hub to do it because the phone itself can't supply enough power for the OTG devices to function) or use the Stickmount app by Chainfire, the Stickmount app works on many devices that don't come with OTG support in their software.

Some devices have a secured kernel that renders adb ineffective. These devices can be modified to have an insecure kernel that allows adb to work.
