[Google Chromecast] neobear:
There is one thing that comes to mind. The Netflix client on the Chromecast runs as native code out of /netflix/. I have a feeling there is some sort of vulnerability exposed there
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
possible... but you gotta find it, use it, then hope the big G doesn't push an update to fix it soon after.

[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Still have the issue being that the only way to launch it is via Netflix...
[Google Chromecast] persianrisk:
even if they do it can be rooted therefore and updates blocked.. hence mission accomplished... like Sony's ps3.. I think sunny finally had given up now...
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Yes, much like the current bootloader exploit that FlashCast uses. It becomes major cat-and-mouse because Chromecast auto-updates without waiting for user intervention though.

Sony can give up more easily because a game console's success is not as heavily tied to content providers. Chromecast, on the other hand, would be sunk without any apps. Let's face, Chromecast for YouTube alone just won't cut it, even at $35.
[Google Chromecast] persianrisk:
I understand. but Sony is equally tied to game content and also other media providers - hence when it was hacked its a bigger problem as some choose not to purchase their games whereas with rooted Chromecast you are still paying for the services even if using a proxy...
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
True, it does create an interesting secondary market.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsfredo:
Just rooted yesterday using towel root. So happy that's finally out!

I'm coming from a galaxy s2 and I remember the rims used to have all these options that don't seem to be available for the note 3 rims. ..is that because of the boot loader lock?

Will the note 3 ever have features like overclock/under clock, status bar customization, long press/short press custom commands for menu and back buttons?

It seems like the roms for the s2 offer so many more options...at the same time it seems like the note 3 could/should have more just with the s-pen...is this all wishful thinking?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 147aaron:
Anything that requires a custom kernel cant be done on the Att Note 3, at this point in time. And yes, it is because of the locked bootloader.

So no overclocking/underclocking, but the other 2 can be done with the help of root applications.

Why do boot animations load so laggy on Moto G?

I had a ZTE Blade 3 before Moto G and boot animations weren't so laggy like on Moto G.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vhngu930:
This is a problem with the bootanimation.zip file or the ROM. This doesn't have to do with the phone.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KDB223:
It's actually that the bootanimation.zip consists of 2 MP4 videos (instead of a bunch of images) , played in succession, and they have a low frame rate (~23 FPS) which is why you feel its "laggy."

No, I didn't get any updates, because I'm using custom rom.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HitNrun_:
Hi everyone!

After i rooted and flashed a recovery on my note 3 realized that whenever i reboot or shut down and power on my phone after i unlock the sim (via pin) the phone gets at home screen but is like dead, meaning for about a minute or two i cant lock the screen with the power button, the home and settings buttons dont light up when i push them or do any noise or vibration, wifi remains off, power saving remains off until the phone makes a quick vibe after 2 minutes or so. That quick vibe was quicker before the root and recovery, it was instant after i unlocked the sim. Also after that problem i got a calling delay, after i try to call someone now and then i have to wait for a minute or so until the call starts. The screen stays at dial pad but doesnt do anything, i can dial numbers but no key noise no key vibration. I unrooted my phone, flashed the stock rom again etc but the problem remains. If anyone knows what to do please help me out
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
I've not done anything to the system at all (Root, flash etc, I'm on full stock) and mine does this too. I boot it up, and for a ful 2-3 minutes it simply remains on and I can't do anything to get it to turn off. I can long-press the power key to bring up the menu, but locking the screen is simply not happening at all. Irritating, but alas.

As for the delay in calling, it usually takes a while between the dialing out and the line to actualy establish, that's probably a network issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HitNrun_:
i don't think that its a network problem because it happens only to me and not always. It takes a while normally but in my case it stuck's on the dial pad not between dial and line. It doesn't even turn the screen off if i put it to my ear...

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comcor:
I've been trying to tease out high battery usage of Android OS lately on my nexus 5 (stock, non-rooted - 4.4.3 and previously 4.4.2). Using adb to dump wakelock information I see the top 3 as:

- wlan_rx_wake - 85345

- wlan_wake - 12206

- ipc_rtr_q6_ipcrtr - 157608

(Android OS was top at 32%, keep awake 1h 27m to the tune of about 15% of the battery since full charge)

In ascending order.

I'm assuming that the last wakelock (ipc_rtr_q6_ipctr - which has very little information on the web) is something lower level, probably related to wlan_wake.

Trying to tease out what this might be I've been sniffing traffic from my phone to the WLAN here at home and notice that the device is regularly (many times a minute) sending out MDNS standard query packets for _googlecast._tcp.local which I presume is for discovering chromecast devices.

I haven't really been able to find much more about this doing various searches, but maybe my google-fu is weak. Anyone seen this or have any suggestions on where to go next? (I have 2 chromecasts in the house, I'll try powering them off next but I doubt that will stop the phone from looking for them).

I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR PHONE OR ANY DAMAGE INCURRED FROM APPLYING THIS.

Due to the popularity of my exploit for the Droid Maxx/Ultra on this line of phones, I decided to make one for you guys.

Prerequisites:

Rooted RAZR/RAZR MAXX HD on Kit Kat 183.46.10

You will not be able to do this on stock phones.

1. Download Root Explorer by Jrummy in the Play store.

2. Download the correct tether zip for your build attached to this post.

3. Go into Root Explorer and find System folder, find priv-app, inside priv-app long press VZWEntitlementServices.apk and VZWEntitlementServices.odex rename to VZWEntitlementServices.apk.bak and VZWEntitlementServices.odex.bak and back out to first folder.

4. Go to sdcard folder, download and find tether.zip that you downloaded from step 2. Extract the build.prop, copy it and back out to the home folder. enter the system folder. Rename the build.prop that is there to build.prop.bak, then paste the one you extracted from the zip.

5. Long press on the file and hit permissions in the menu. change permissions Owner: Read/Write, Group:Read, Others: Read (should show rw-r--r--)

6. Exit out of root explorer

7. Reboot

8. Check the tether it should work.

9. PROFIT! Thank baby jesus and buy me a beer lol

[RAZR HD Original Android Development] Topsnake:
You may have missed the prompt for su permissions on the first app
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] iBolski:
ATTENTION! Those on 183.46.14 or 183.46.15

If you are on the latest soak build (183.46.14) or the patch to it (183.46.15) and haven't applied this yet, then be forewarned that if you copy the build.prop as it is, it will confuse your phone as it has 183.46.10 strings in it, so you'll keep getting OTA notifications and it will never take.

So, follow the instructions as is with the exception of copying the build.prop.

Instead, after being rooted, pull down the /system/build.prop file to your PC.

Open it up in a text editor and add the following line at the bottom of the file:

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

Save the file, push it back up to your SD card. Then, using Root Explorer, ensure /system is remounted to read/write and copy the build.prop on your SD card to /system.

Then. long-press on the /system/build.prop file and hit permissions in the menu. Change permissions to the following:

Owner: Read/Write

Group: Read

Others: Read

Exit out of root explorer, reboot and check that tethering now works.

Or, you could take the build.prop in the zip file provided and do a search for 183.46.10 and replace it with the appropriate soak version you are on (183.46.14 or 183.46.15).

Performed Native Tether Hack 183.46.10 - Device Won't Boot

Thanks iBolski. In the the original thread, bweN diorD suggested a native hack from a previous thread. Consequently I overlooked your modification. I did successfully perform the original instructions for 183.46.10 on a rooted/unlocked DROID RAZR HD, but the device would not boot again after shutdown. The Motorola Dual Core splash shows for several seconds, then nothing after.

Any ideas?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centaur31:
hi everyone, I am a noob here and don't know how to put my question across so that it makes sense and people with experience can make me understand the difference.

I have been using custom Roms almost since a month after I bought my n7100. It was a little scary initially but I became more confident and as such haven't had any major issues. Let me come to the point without further ado :-

I had been running Phoenix rom v 18.8 till recently, before I changed to Dr. Ketan's rom v.8. While on phoenix rom the apps like game CIH and game guardian or game killer were working perfectly but on Dr. Ketan's rom even though I get the su prompt and grant the app superuser rights it still gives a message saying my device is not rooted!!

I know both these Roms like most others are pre-rooted which means the apps should work on both. This kind of issue has bn coming up since 4.3 where again in a pre-rooted rom some apps wouldn't recognize root and some simply said access denied even though I have granted it when supersu pops up to ask whether to allow the app or not. I was hoping Dr. Ketan Hindocha or Tamirda will be able to tell me what the difference is and how I can have the same access as I have with phoenix rom, in other Roms as well.

I know both Dr. Ketan and tamirda are some of the great ppl out here who have made android fun but due to this I didn't think I should disturb them with my question as they are already hard pressed for time releasing Roms and providing support. I would be grateful if someone could tell me how I can make it work in any rom just like it does with phoenix.

I hope my question makes sense and look forward to your advice and suggestions. I apologize for posting in a wrong manner or at the wrong place if I have unconsciously done that.

Thanks, centaur31 ciao 4 now :):)
