[MX Player] fffft:
ktsamy explained that HW decoding works fine for MX player-S5. It's HW+ that needs an update to work properly.

If you are still waiting for root.. I believe that all of the S5 variants on older firmware are rootable now. The 900F, 900T, etc have had root for some time. And Geohot's recent towel covers ATT & Verizon.

For HW+ we have to wait for carrier updates or perhaps faster, for custom ROM authors to recompile from updated sources as they transition from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4.

I use to do so many installation videos of invisibleSHIELDs (orignal, HD, dry) back in the day. Then Spigen came along with all their Glas screen protectors. Doesn't take much to see that a glass screen protector is superior in clarity. It's really become a shame to put a product that suffers from known issues like the rainbow effect and orange peel on these flagship devices.

I'm sure ZAGG felt the pressure put on them by manufacturers like Spigen to produce something better. Enter the Glass line.

PRICE

This thing is kind of expensive. $40 bucks basically at Best Buy. From ZAGG it's $5 cheaper. Maybe that's because there is less packaging with the one that ship from ZAGG.

Spigen is pretty expensive as well. Cheaper glass screen protectors are popping up on eBay at lower prices. I think for the most part those will be fine. I've used a few before. Expect less support if they don't work and a higher chance of bubbles. How much higher? I don't know. We'll have to wait for feedback from others.

WARRANTY

Of course there are cons to glass screen protectors. I won't deny that. My wife has cracked a few. Spigen has a replacement program to get you another one at a discount cost:

http://www.spigen.com/need1more

According to the information supplied in this product, ZAGG will keep on sending you replacements if you pay shipping and handling. You will most likely have to return the broken pieces of your protector as well as proof it was damaged.

INSTALLATION

You don't really need a video. However, I did one anyways :D. The installation process is easier in my opinion than non glass screen protectors. Ultimately you'll just want to make sure everything is dust free and aligned. If you skip towards the end of the video where the screen protector makes contact with the screen, you will see the air bubbles all come out on their own. It's that easy.

FIT AND CONCLUSION

I was really pleased with the fit. This product leaves enough room around the side of the screen for cases which is a huge benefit. Most cases will not pry up the borders and cause the glass to lift. Cheaper Chinese glass screen protectors and this one leave openings and not just cutouts for the speaker and home button. In this case, I applaud that because of the fingerprint scanner. From videos I saw of the Glas, they chose to have a cutout for the home button. They're thin, and I'm sure you can get your fingerprint read. I mean, who would design it that way if you couldn't? I just believe that it would be easier to scan it if the area was left open. Spigen used to give away home button stickers to make the button taller. Can't do that with the S5's scanner.

Hi thanks for the review really liked it. though, isn't the glass screen for the s5 smooth and hard enough anyways? and also would it be possible for a review on the extreme version i want to see the clarity on that one. since i am a outdoors kind of guy i got a good case with it just need a screen protector that will help avoid the damages and keep it clear for me to see.

I tried to do hard reset using Boot Mode Selection Menu (power button + volume up and down) but still after factory reset it wont prolong with booting past logo.

[Nook Touch General] sarmasm:
Hello:

Due to a failed factory settings recovery attempt my My N2E is as follows:

On firmware version 1.0.0

IRooted with TouchNooter 2.1.31

My main goal is to root it my N2E using NookManager. For that, I understand that:

First, I have to upgrade the N2E to firmware version 1.2.1

Then, I can root it with NookManager

But (and here's the catch) after upgrading to 1.2.1 (pre requisite for NookManager) the N2E will be still rooted with TouchNooter 2.1.31 which I understand happens to be incompatible with N2E on firmware version 1.2.1 :(

Even if I succesfully get to root the N2E to NookManager inmmediately after upgrading to 1.2.1, shouldn't it be an issue?

Keep in mind: I'd be rooting NookManager on top of an N2E already rooted with TouchNooter 2.1.31

Isn't that a brick scenario or am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance,
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Point 1: There is no brick scenario for the Nook.

Whatever you can do can be undone using a system booted off the SD card.

For the white Nook, which has no SD card, there is the boot over USB to resuscitate it.

Boot over USB also works for all the other model.

Point 2: If you have a non-white Nook there is no reason to use any system version besides 1.2.1

1.3.X on the white Nook is a mish-mash of old and new versions.

If we ever discover anything good about 1.3.X we can cherry-pick it out to add to 1.2.1

Point 3: Before you start modifying your Nook you should have a backup of the /rom/devconf directory.

You may not have any interest in doing business with B&N, but the MAC, serial number, battery info is important.

Point 4: I know nothing about either of these "managers".

If you are at 1.2.1 just use whatever manager thingie you want to.
[Nook Touch General] sarmasm:
Renate:

Thanks again for your prompt reply.

How's that "booting form USB" works? BTW, I have a Nook Simple Touch "original"; the one sold with the 1.0.0 firmware.

Er... if you say so. I'm only posting what I know about TocuhNooter 2.1.31. I'm merelñy and able user, not an expert, per se. :confused:

OK, I do believe that the NookManager root method/tools/boot includes it's own backup manager, so that would be a "plan b" scenario.

Do you recommend an other nook backup utility?

Hmm... What root method do you currently use with your Nook? Is it a N2E, N2E with GlowLight, other?

Awaiting your kind comments,
[Nook Touch General] MildBill:
OK, here's how you fix your issue...

1. Insert Nook Manager microSD, boot it, select Restore Factory Image (or something like that...). This will restore your Nook to version 1.0 (I believe, I have done this 2 or 3 times, it's 1.0 or 1.1). Follow the instructions. In the end you will remove the Nook Manager card, and reboot.

This should, if I understand correctly, re-install the factory image that is stored on your Nook. Unless TouchNooter (or something else you did) modified that, you should be good to go from here. If something has modified the factory image, then it gets way more complicated, because part of that image is data that is unique to your Nook. So, you can't just get someone elses factory image, as it would have their unique data in it.

That said, if anything did modify your factory image, I for one want to know, that needs to be stopped.

2. Download the update for 1.2.1 from B&N (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Software-Updates-NOOK-Simple-Touch/379003175) and follow the instructions to install it.

3. Re-insert the Nook Manager card, and root with Nook Manager.

Hello,

I have a problem with my device. When ever I try to connect it to the computer I get an error, and it doesn't recognize the device.

Can I use fastboot somehow to push files to the phone ?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
no, you must use adb to push files.

adb push <local> <remote>

i.e:

adb push something.zip /sdcard/

you can use adb from the OS or from custom recovery.

You can use fastboot just for flashing certain partitions of your device (like recovery). As alray suggested, you can push/pull files to/from the device only by using adb, I think your problem is with drivers for your device, which OS are you running on your computer?

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Themes and Apps] hasenbein1966:
One of the main reasons I have already rooted my device (although the bootloader had to be unlocked).

So I can use "Expanded Desktop" from Xposed module "Gravity Box" (no navigation bar anymore, which additionally means more screen estate) and GMD Gesture control instead.

For instance, for "Back" I have set 2 gestures: Either diagonally (!) to the right and down with 3 fingers, or the same to the left and down.

Since "Back" is a very frequent command, this is the most comfortable direction for a swipe because the arm which is holding the tablet is anyway in that direction. I just have to pull the arm "back" instead of bringing it into a certain position first. And the two gestures ensure that I can make the Back gesture with either hand equally comfortably.

I had the device unrooted for two weeks, and it felt simply awkward to be forced again to hit little spots on the screen for basic commands. (My other devices are always also rooted.)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Themes and Apps] awakened77:

Hi people!

Problem with the 9000th is the following:

After installing yesterday the SPB Pocket Plus 3.1.2 app my device began to hopelessly hang every time on “switch on”: white screen, collage. I’m dead tired to soft reset it each time.

And this morning something terrible happened. I found the device not breathing (both BT and cell network side diodes weren’t alight), “switch on” button didn’t react. Just after plugging to the charger the device started to load in boot safety mode. After that same hanging continued.

Yesterday night the battery was charged to 80% and this morning I found it at 2%.

I made a back-up and now ready for the operation.

Is there a clear solution for my case? Do I need to take the device to morgue (SC) or could I try to operate it in home conditions through hard-reset and installing later ROM version?

Please advise!

Thanks in advance.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Lordsmiff:
It sounds like your device hung and rather than just switch off, it kept running, draining the battery.

You should definitely upgrade the ROM - it's easy to do and you can get the files from the ftp site here or from myqtek.com but I wouldn't have thought your device is broken.

Upgrading the ROM is really easy but will wipe your device so I hope you had your info sync'd!

Either way, everyone on here can usually sort any woes you may have :)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Nikanoru:
Thanks for a valuable advice.

Ok, I will consider an upgrade, though people at our domestic qtek-mobile forum do not advise to upgrade the ROM saying that in many cases of upgrading to 1.30.70 from AKU2 the device died completely.

Moreover, Resco saves 45% more memory than any other launcher......
