[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikebzh44:
Hi.

I'm running Android 4.4.2 on my Nexus 4 but as it's rooted and I use Xposed framework, I can use OTA to install 4.4.3 :(

I'm following this tuto : http://nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-t...ndroid-4-4-3-without-losing-any-data-0155334/

which should work for any Nexus device but I can't see my phone in Windows explorer when USB debugging option is set to ON.

What's wrong ?

Thanks.

EDIT : switching from MTP to PTP mode did the trick.

Hi

Is it possible to change number off recent app

For example reduce it from 12 to 8 in recent app screen

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mavasilisk:
Go to the bottom of developer options :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babakhad:
Thanks for answer

But in dev option i see just 4 process no more , i need to keep 8 recent app in recentapp screen

Thankd
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mavasilisk:
If said this way the only way to reduce it is to simply swipe it away from recent apps. Are you worried about RAM? You shouldn't be worried about it. Android manages its ram kinda good.I usually run my device for months without clearing recent apps or restarting it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babakhad:
Thanks for answer

But when recent app in my phone is more than 8 then the recent bottom reflex is very lagi and home bottom too but when it is less than 8 app in recent every thing is ok , and also i alwaye have about 500 mg free in app/running too

Thanks

I had this problem and it got fixed when I updated Google Search and GEL. BTW are you sure its really 500mb free? If so, what the hell are you running? :laugh:

Hello ladies, hello guys

While doing some **** with my G2 (as usual), I unfortunately replaced the settings.apk by another settings.apk, and it doesn't work anymore. I should have made a backup of this app before, shame on me.

Anyway, does someone have a "settings.apk" for LG G2 on Android 4.4.2 please ? That would be amazingly great !

Thanks a lot, and may the peace be with you

Love,

Hi all, forgive my English.

I try to install this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2774542

Can someone help me and say that I can not install it?, Thanks.
[HTC Wildfire S] AFN:
Solution

That's a very common problem,please do some research before posting a thing.

Anyway,this is due to Old Recovery problem,you recovery seems to be CWM 5.0.2.8,you'll have to upgrade it.

You have a wild choice between TWRP 2.7.1.0 , CWM 6.0.4.9 or PhilZ Touch Recovery

What I recommend and what I use is PhilZ Touch Recovery,flash any of the three I mentioned then you can flash my ROM with no problem.

Finally,hit the Thanks button if I Helped :)
[HTC Wildfire S] Alberto1000:
Hello, thank you very much for your answer.

But I will not be able to test your rom since I am not able to change the recovery, I have tried all the methods and ways that I have found in tuturiales, but I can not change the recovery.

Thank you very much, greetings.

I looked at gsmarena and it doe not mention that the m8 has aptx Bluetooth what a bummer, especially that sound quality is a selling point for the m8, so many people like to listen to audio over Bluetooth so how come such an important thing has been omitted

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fb12330:
The m8 does have aptx

I have had both versions of the HTC one m8. The m8 has Bluetooth 4.0 with aptx. If you go to the APTX website you can search to see what devices have aptx. Also the standard HTC one m8 does not allow you to enable the BoomSound option, when connected with Bluetooth. You can only use BoomSound when connected with audio cable. The Harmon kardon edition allows you to turn on CLARIFY, while connected with Bluetooth, maybe that's what your confusing it with. But you CANNOT use BoomSound when connected to a device with Bluetooth. I own 40 different speaker docks and not one of them allows me to enable BoomSound while connected with Bluetooth.

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

When connected with Bluetooth , the BoomSound disables itself and the BoomSound option becomes grey and you cannot click on it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmitry.matora:

I have tried the 2 memory card in another phone and they work fine, maybe the memory card slot is faulty.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgm:
Hi everyone,

I was on 4.4.2 and wanted to update to 4.4.3. Since I installed Xposed and the OTA package wouldn't install even after I uninstalled the framework, I opted for the factory image. I used the flash_all script that came with the image file and now my phone is stuck at the dancing colors.

Now I think I can probably get the phone to work again is I do a factory reset but I don't want to lose the file on the internal sdcard.

Is there anyway to backup the files on the internal storage?

I've tried ADB but it doesn't list my device either in bootloader or with the phone off or stuck at the dancing colors.

ADB does list my device in recovery mode with the "apply update from ADB" option, but I can't do a adb pull from there. It says:

error: closed.

Any idea?

OR a method to solve the soft-brick situation without wipe the files on /sdcard would work as well.

Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
You have lost your internal data after using the factory images...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgm:
I did? The command in the flash script is

fastboot.exe -w update image-hammerhead-ktu84m.zip

and from what i can tell from the output it didn't flash userdata.img

Would that mean my files on the internal /sdcard is still in tact?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxdil:
You need to remove "-w" if you didn't want it to flash your data. Everything's gone now dude..

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
Are you using Google calendar to sync???

If Samsung account is used, you will have to create a new Samsung account and then add it to your tablet. Then you can adjust what syncing you want between the two Samsung accounts.

In S-planner, there should be an option to set which account once you have two Samsung accounts.

If using Google, the process is the same just your adding a Google account and setting your preferences in Google Calender as well.

I have two Google accounts, one for Play store and the other for tablet user. Since the play store is just for purchases and use for google services, I prefer to make email and calender syncing on a simple account that can be removed if needed, without effecting my play store and services.

Though, I don't keep personal info linked on portable devices. So if needed my user accounts can be tossers, just like the tablet.

Alright I'll just start from the beginning since this is just a long chain of ****ery

Rooted my GS3

Installed TWRP

Installed Carbon-JB-NIGHTLY-20130824-0816-D2VZW which is a 4.3 JB rom.

Attempted to install Revolutionary S5 V3 and KK gapps package at the same time.

Hard bricked my phone.

Used this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2581166&highlight=system+software+not+authorized to get my phone to get to Odin.

When attempting to boot phone outside of Odin it just stated that it was running not supported software (unlocked padlock that says custom)

Went onto Samsung and downloaded a Stock 4.3 rom and flashed that with Odin.

Started phone up and was unable to use terminal emulator (no root) to continue with fixes in above thread.

Attempted to root using saferoot, unsuccessfully (updated kernel can't do it).

Attempted to root using CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300, unsuccessfully.

Attempted to root using Kingo, unsuccessfully.

I do have Samsung Knox :crying:

So now that you're all up to speed to where I'm at, long story short, I need root access on this phone. It has no power button so I lock the screen with a root gesture control app. The back and menu buttons are non functioning so I use a custom UI that adds a back and menu button to the screen. Can ANYONE give me a way to get root back on this frankenstein of a phone? I've never changed a kernel before and I supposed that'd be my next step since I can't saferoot with the kernel I currently have and any thread that explains how I would go about doing it at my current state of ****ery :eek:

[Shield Q&A] Edwii:
I've seen the shield being used to control Parrot Drones, which seems an idle pairing of screen controller and quadcopter.

I use other brands of helicopters, namely "blade" brand, and tho I don't own a blade brand quadcopter, I would prefer to have one over a parrot.

My question:

Is there a way to use the shield as a controller/screen for a camera, with other brands of RC helicopters and or even RC cars?

The link between the Shield and the Drone that is made for it, is not RC. It is Bluetooth. The Shield does not have an RC transceiver, so since it is Bluetooth the range of operation is also much more limited.
[Security Discussion] E:V:A:
CVE-2014-3153 was published 5 June 2014.

Affected Kernels: <= 3.14.5 (see specifics)

Affected Devices: Multiple!

As of last night, security researcher @geohot proved that the Samsung Galaxy S5 from AT&T

was vulnerable, by gaining root. He also believes the Verizon version is affected.

The details of this can be found here:

http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q2/467

http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-3153

http://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/27fl04/another_linux_kernel_exploit_this_time_reachable/

The description of the vulnerability is best described by the comments from the experts themselves:

From seclists.org:

This is a serious flaw from all levels, as one commenter state:

Or as user gsuberland writes and explains in this Reddit thread:
[Security Discussion] ks3rv3rg:
Since geohot said he wouldn't be releasing the exploit publicly, can we talk a bit of methodology/implementation. I for one would really like to get this moving forward for those having att & vzw. Basically, what do we need to do to trigger the futex_requeue error utilising chrome?
[Security Discussion] kprice8:
Did I read right that it said you need a ChromeOS to be able to trigger it?
[Security Discussion] xKroniK13x:
You do not need to execute this through Chrome. It is a generic flaw in the Linux kernel, that happens to be shared on many, many Android devices. I have been studying this for the Razr M (vulnerable), and have been coming up with theories how to implement this...

Basically, the futex_requeue error allows a segment of code to be written to memory, and then executed as root. This means that you can modify system files through this error, meaning that you can write scripting that will gain root, save it to the memory, and execute it.

I am trying to implement this on my Razr M, and have even more incentive seeing that it was used of the Galaxy successfully. I don't have a lot of experience in this area, but am researching a lot and have a couple of theories to try out.

I should note that this is just my understanding on the exploit, and I am only in the very early stages researching it... I could be completely wrong.
[Security Discussion] jcase:
For those wanting to root a device using this vuln:

I don't believe this is a good vulnerability to target Android devices with, the difficulty is beyond most of us (myself included), and the success rate is going to be rather low on all/many/most devices. A more successful approach would be to spend the research time seeking another vulnerability.

Chrome is not needed, Pinkie Pie used this vulnerability in conjunction with Chrome vulnerabilities when collecting a Chrome bounty (I could be wrong, I'm assuming without researching).

No, see above

Can you test my Pie exploit on that device?
[Security Discussion] xKroniK13x:
Yes, I am willing to test it, however, I believe it is confirmed not working for the 2012 Droid series (HD, MAXX, M).
[Security Discussion] jcase:
Let me know, it was working a few months ago but may have been patched
[Security Discussion] xKroniK13x:
I believe it was patched with the KK update, but I'll let you know later today. If you have anything else to test just let me know!

Those errors are meaning less, just pre-emptive clean up. If it didn't work, it is probably patched
[Security Discussion] E:V:A:
How do you know how difficult it is, if you haven't done it?

Most of the time difficulties are overcome by new ideas and fresh angles.

And all of the time I am wondering who you "actually" work for?

And now I wonder how the #$^# (mod edit) you can be more "successful" looking

for unknown vulnerabilities, when you have a great one already sitting

on your desk?

Basically you're saying; if you venture out to planet X and look for new fish in

the oceans there, you're less likely to go hungry, than if you figure out how

to cook and eat the one in your home aquarium. I just don't understand why

you would say such a thing.
[Security Discussion] jcase:
For one, if you want your threads to stay open, don't curse at mods giving you accurate advice.

I know it is difficult because I spend all day researching android security and actually looked at it?

Who I work for is well public, it was even published on XDA's portal. As they say, the search feature is your friend. Who do you work for? Since mine is public, and you questioned mine, I think you should make your's public.

How you can be more successful? Because for most people capable of developing at futex exploit, it would take less time locate an easier vulnerability. Even GeoHot took 4 days to develop his futex exploit, and it has something like a 10% success rate. I do believe his skill level in this field is beyond most of the people posting in this sub forum.

If you go to planet X, and you see a fish that is obviously extremely hard to catch by looking at it, and it is also slippery so once you catch it it might escape, or you see a bunch of trees that probably have plenty of bananas if you go an Look. Where do you go for your food supply? Do you spend a months trying to eat the fish, or a few hours picking bananas? Of course you go and find the bananas.
[Security Discussion] E:V:A:
You know that I know better, than cursing at the mods I most often find helpful.

That is just a quirk of English, that "you" can be very personal or it can be

the completely opposite. I was simply Cursing out Loud. (CUL?)

Anyway, I have the right to question such statements regardless of their origin. And at that, it was not clear at all that you actually had been looking closer at it. BTW. I don't really care who you work for. Just a flash in my mind, that I should have kept to myself.

Thanks anyway.
[Security Discussion] weasel87:
Can people please quit arguing and just find a mostly successful exploit? No good is coming from any of this. Every thread I read is 90% bickering and 10% people volunteering to test when a method is ready. If I knew anything about how this stuff works I would be too busy digging to post complaints. Just saying.
[Security Discussion] E:V:A:
Everything is cool now. There's a lot of stuff bubbling under that will surely surface soon. Some which already have. Just search XDA for "S5 root".
