[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neu - smurph:
Look for a ".nomedia" file in the folder structure holding the Whatsapp media/images. This will cause the Android Media Scanner to bypass the folder containing the .nomedia file and any sub folders. Also check that none of the folder names in the structure are prefixed with a period (i.e. ".images"). Again these folders (and any subfolders) are hidden from the Media Scanner.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divyanshu308:
Worked perfect!!

Thanks for the reply worked pretty well.

Deleted the .NOMEDIA file and its up and running great.

One question though how come such a file gets created by itself?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neu - smurph:
I don't have WhatsApp installed but a lot of apps create these automatically if it isn't considered desirable for media to appear in the music player or gallery. For example PowerAmp creates an AlbumArt folder with a .nomedia file to stop the gallery being spammed with Album art images.

Maybe WhatsApp updated recently and this is a new thing?

I did a fairly decent Google search concerning this and knew there were gonna be issues.

Bottom line: will CWM or TWRP ever be able to deal with an encrypted MotoG?

I could do it the hard way with external nandroids and factory resets when I ever get a notion to try a ROM, just makes it so much more work.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pisherthefisher:
I sure hope not, because that would completely ruin the security aspect of encryption. You might as well not be encrypted at all at that point.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liveroy:
hmm, wasn't twrp supporting some sort of that, they even embedded a keyboard to key in passwords.

I could be mistaken tho, even tho I kinda recall from version 2.2 they had that.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobbaLouie:
Huh? That's why you hopefully use a password when you encrypt.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobbaLouie:
It is supported on other devices. When TWRP tries to mount encrypted partitions it's supposed to ask for the pw. Not sure what pisherthefisher it talking about.

Features in 2.7.0.0, from the changelog:

• Allow sideloading from /tmp on encrypted devices

• Check for a crypto footer before asking for a password to prevent user confusion

The second item may be referring to encrypted backups, but the first item definitely isn't.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] casualPhoenix:
Hey everyone,

So I'm on stock, rooted Android 4.3 on my Verizon Note II. I'm having an issue with the Samsung keyboard - when I try to use a special character (!, @, #, etc.) I often accidentally choose the accented/foreign one instead. This happens a lot and it's very annoying.

I noticed these steps somebody posted for the Note 3, but it looks like it will remove the special and accented characters.

Is there a way to just remove the accented ones?

Thanks!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbdanny:
Ok,... a NOOB question.. (and yes, I have looked around, and I did not see answers to my question… or i was too dim to understand it….. :/ )

I switched from AT&T to T-Mobile. my Note 3 is is unlocked, and rooted.

This is probably a silly question, but When I look at “ROMS” and “MODS” for my phone, should I be looking for an “AT&T “ phone? or a T-MOBILE” ?? is there any actual HARDWARE difference?

I have a SM-N900A (branded AT&T) … does that mean I can not use ROMS that are for the T-Mobile note 3s? or do I have to only use ROMS that are for the AT&T note 3?

Should I just sell my AT&T note 3, and buy a T-Mobile Note 3 ??

I would like to get rid of the AT&T bloatware… especially since I am no longer on their network.

I am not trying to go over the top with my phone, and I would like to be able keep the s-pen features (but I have to admit, I still need to LEARN how to use it better!)

Another “feature” that I would like, (maybe a second question/thread?) if about tethering.. I have unlimited data on my phone, but as I understand it, they will only allow 2gigs as a hotspot. I think I read somewhere that some ROMS combine the two…

Thank you for any advice…

[HTC One Max] max444:
Hello good folks, was hopping somebody can help me here.

I have been using htc phones for years, I mean like 10 years almost.

long story short, just got a One max and I'm having an issue with the smilies when receiving text messages. For some reason when the wife sends me smilies in text, they don't show up as the image/smilies, they show up as just text, so that I'm clear, for example if you sent me this smile :D, it would show up as the text ":D", is there a setting some where I'm missing?

I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with the htc one, I came from the htc rezound (old as heck) and I have more features on that phone then I do on this one :confused:

I thank you all for your time and help. :)
[HTC One Max] cstrife999:
What phone does she have? I've noticed that sometimes it depends on who is texting. As per the more features on the rezound you are gravely mistaken... Having owned both phones that's like saying dial-up is better than Fios... If the texting issue is that big of a deal probably best to leave android because you can find a more catered experience elsewhere...
[HTC One Max] max444:
she has the samsung note 3.

Of course the one max is newer and it has a newer operating system and etc however some good features are missing.

on rezound I have the home screen in the middle and then 3 other screens on each side I can swipe to, for a total of 7 home screens.

On one max without the feed screen you have a total of 5 screens, home in the middle and 2 on each side.

on rezound I can go around the home screens in a circle, on the one max once you go one way you have to back track to get to the opposite side.

on the rezound I have a "people widget" that shows the person and then right next to it the latest text/mail communications of that person, this was a great widget that allowed me to look at each of my favorites and allow me to see their communication by just a glance, One max does not have that anymore it just has the default people widget that just shows the person, you can't see test or anything right there.

I can go with a few more useful/time saving features that are not there, like the lock screen and its apps for example and there is lots more.

So when I say it was better I mean it in that sense, maybe you can do the things I mentioned and I just can't figure it out but I'm 99% sure you can't.

Yes the One max has some good abilities over the rezound like the size for example, and other things, but some of the things I mentioned make no sense to me why they are gone making One max not as easy to use as rezound when it came to some features.

Ok so you are saying that it depends on what kind of a phone I'm getting text from? I'm not good in that area and like to say it does not matter, but if you know for a fact it does, then I guess it does. Thank you for your response and time. :)
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Are you using a different keyboard than stock on either phone?
[HTC One Max] cstrife999:
After re-reading my post I think I came across as arrogant. I apologize for that. With most of what you said is true though most didn't want them but they work for you and that works for you. In this specific case you might be better to go back to the rezound. They eliminated most of those features for a reason to them and I don't think they'd bring them back. Certain roms do include the unlimited scrolling for homescreens though that's about it. I'm not a big eye candy person myself. Considering how modern her phone is that sounds really weird. Do you use normal texts or hangouts? You both want to try hangouts and see if that works for you.
[HTC One Max] max444:
Thanks dottat,

we are both using default keyboard but I was able to figure it out, I will state it below.

Thanks cstrife999,

we use normal texts and I was able to figure it out.

here is what it was:

on her note 3 she has 2 different sections for smilies, there is the default one we are all used to ( the one under the menu options under "insert smilies"), and then there is another section for smilies that has all the ones we have on the max, this other one you get to by holding the voice key down till you get a menu for 5 objects one being the second set of smilies.

Now the default ones are just the basic ones and only droid smilies, these are the ones that appear as text no matter what, however once we go to the second set of smilies as mentioned above all the smilies showed up on the texts as smilies.

Problems solved.

I like to thank you all for your time/help and responses.:highfive:

Looking for an app/tweak/hack/kernel tuner/xposed module or whatever to adjust display colors. Franco's Color Controls only seem to adjust the high mids, and I need more control over mid-range and the tints of the gray-scale range.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Franco app has a lot of preloaded color profiles available, surely there must be one to your liking ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .psd:
You sure? I was using Franco Kernel and bought his FKU and it doesn't seem to have any profiles. It does have minimal and incredibly confusing settings to adjust gamma, but there's no explanation of what the settings do or how to use them, and from my trial and error it seems the settings only adjust the brightest color ranges (highlights and mid-highs). I made a thread about it. I'm very interested in finding a way to fix my displays colors...

EDIT: ok so I just found an app by Franco called Nexus Display Control. Will report back if it helps with my situation.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Sure man, go into the FKU app and choose color control and choose load a color profile and pick one. I liked Vomer_balanced a lot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .psd:
There are literally no profiles to load. Furthermore, that Nexus Display Control app is literally just Color Control module from FKU, which itself is only some miscelaneous gamma settings — far from full color control like it shows in the play store...

Is something wrong with my device? Am I doing something wrong? There's so much more to color control (as demonstrated by Franco's own pictures for his app in the play store) than a mere few gamma settings, so what gives? As I pointed out in the thread I made for FKU's color control, the negative and positive settings both seem to do exactly the same thing, and none of them affect anything besides highlights and high mids. I've been working on this since yesterday with the slowest internet connection of all time, I'm pulling my hair out trying to get to the bottom of this...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
You look but you don`t see bro. Open FKU, choose color adjustments, choose load a color profile, choose import preloaded profiles and pick one. Thats it realy ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .psd:
You're exactly right! I thought that was the description of the popup, I never would have thought it was a button, wow... Thanks!

Ok so I guess what it comes down to is whether you (or anyone) knows how to access the rest of the color controls other than the miscellaneous gamma controls? For example, as depicted in the play store?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
I bought this app but don`t use it realy, i just pick a preloaded profile i like and use that one :) But that app allows you to tinker with the settings and create your own profile.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .psd:
Ok well thank you! Vomer_balanced seems to have neutralized my display quite nicely, but I'll probably play around quite a bit over the next few days. Hopefully others will contribute to the thread I made so we can make sense of the controls, and it would be really nice if someone found out how to access the rest of the color controls like it shows in the play store.

The factory restore image gets updated to kitkat. You have to use the guide Revert To Stock here on XDA and follow the instructions listed. Just follow them to a t and you'll be good to go. It's awfully hard to mess up. Even if you're not used to using methods like that it's easy peasy

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ----------

you aren't using the correct tool. Find the thread Revert to Stock here on the LG G2 forums and follow those instructions. You will be using the LG Flash tool. Not the R & D tool. That's a whole different animal that is used for updating software. Not downgrading. All that tool does is search the LG servers for software updates and starts the install for you if you cannot receive an OTA for some weird reason. I downgraded my AT&T d800 using the flash tool method and it takes about 10 mins and then you're back on 4.2.2

The link the other member posted is the correct method of downgrading.

That's the wrong tool. That's the LG support tool. You need to use the LG flashtool that is listed in the tutorial the other member posted a link to.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BreakingVZW:
That I can't answer. I'm not sure if the At&t and bell images are compatible. I can almost guarantee they aren't. What you CAN do is just google search Bell LG G2 stock tot. I'm sure there would be either an xda link or a dev that had a repository of factory images for various models of the g2.

The easiest thing for you would be to search for your specific device model number (I.e. d800 which is the AT&T g2) tot. That should get you to the image you'd need for the flash tool.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BreakingVZW:
Idk, world war three.

The member said his version uses kdz and not tot. If your model uses tot then use tot. I've found it vastly easier than kdz. Either way you go just make sure you follow the instructions exactly for whatever method you decide to use. Neither myself nor the devs whose method you decide to use is responsible if you somehow mess up your device. If you follow the directions to the letter you should be fine but if you're not comfortable doing this then please don't. XDA isn't tailored for noobs. It assumes you have at least general knowledge of android modifications. Not trying to come off harshly so please don't take it that way.
