[Nexus 5 Android Development] masantula:
This is going to be an unfair question but any idea if new build or update is going to be released soon in a day or two? reason for asking is if i should just flash the current release or wait for the next one if its almost ready so i don't have to flash new update. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Mr. Apocalypse:
Well, the next build will be more of a cleanup build, a few new features, but more fixes and maintenance. I'm aiming for Sunday. I have to work tomorrow and won't have any time to prepare a release.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] masantula:
Awesome...i'll wait a few more days :)

hi all..

how do i set the location for the QuickCircle app?..

my default app is the accuweather..

but the quickcircle app does not display the location i've set in the accuweather app..

it keeps showing " to add city, open the cover and set cities in the weather app"..
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidfta:
I have the same problem!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vengence_angels:
I found out why I couldn't set weather..

Cause i rooted and froze the LG weather app..

After I unfroze it and it all works well now..
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidfta:
I have the verizon version and cannot find the lg weather app its nowhwre in my drawer? Is it not on verizon phones
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tstretch:
I am not rooted and have not frozen this app. I have a verizon phone and I actually can't find the app anywhere. Has anyone resolved this issue? I also and I am unable to set a location for the lock screen weather. The location is set for the Accu Weather app but that doesn't seem to stick for the lock screen. Please help
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tstretch:
Anyone else having this problem? I've also tried clearing data from Accuweather and isn't working. What is the name of the LG QuickCircle app? Maybe I can try to clear that datac/cache too.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edwmsjr:
SOLVED!

I was having this problem too and finally figured out how to set your location. Go into <settings> and then <lock screen> . If your lock screen is currently set to "none", then temporarily change it to "swipe" to reveal additional lock screen settings. There is a setting called "Weather Animation". When you check that box, it will tell you that you don't have a current location set and ask you to set it. That will open up the hidden stock weather location setting where you can set your location. There may be some other way to get to this setting, but this is the only way I know of as of now.

Found the solution...here.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jatich:
not solved for me.

When I add the current location it says : "location already exists"

I can not find a way to make the app show the existing locations, so I can't clean either.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imranraziuddin11:
Try this

Go to stock "weather" app >settings>edit city list> delete existing cities then add your current city in the same screen.

I've been using SVN integrated into Eclipse at work, and I've grown to really love being able to view and track changes. I would like to use some kind of version control in Android Studio. I've used Github for Windows locally before. I liked using it for commits, but was less than pleased when I needed to roll back to a specific version. (IIRC, there was a button that deleted all my commits past the one I wanted...)

I would rather have something simple, light weight, and local, but I could use something online if it's free/cheap and keeps your code private. Does anyone have any favorite VCS to use with AS/IntelliJ? According to the IntelliJ website, it supports these VCS-

Git
GitHub
Subversion (SVN)
Mercurial
Perforce ULTIMATE
Team Foundation Server ULTIMATE
CVS
Visual SourceSafe ULTIMATE
Rational ClearCase ULTIMATE
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] МІР:
I would not chose anything but git. It's powerful, open and widely supported.

Unless you know what a "button" of your favorite GUI really does behind the scenes, you should use the command line for delicate operations with git. Basically there are verious types of "rollback" - even ones which rewrite history.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Royyx:
I tried to install a rom but it kept booting to the rom then restarting and looping.

So i tried to change to .651 to fix it.

I'm not really sure what I'm doing and shouldn't have done this til I researched more but now I can only boot to the bootloader (the thing with flashboot and hboot) and I relocked it for some stupid reason and now it says tampered relocked security warning. I can't get into recovery to do anything. I just want the phone back to stock. Am I bricked? Please help as soon as possible.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You need to unlock again, and flash SuperSU after you flash the ROM zip.

[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Additional option for having root with write protection enabled......

From [MENTION=4850320]iKrYpToNiTe[/MENTION] :

Okay for any user who is on 4.4 and lower they can root and disable write protection. Then they can install safestrap and flash any stock based rom to the stock slot. They then need to boot into the bootloader to flash the new stock kernel and baseband via fastboot, then reboot and enjoy ;)

my old stock based 4.4.2 rom is here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/116025-romsafestrap-unlockedxt1060-stock-rooted-vzw-164552-kitkat-442/

Remember to thank the man if you visit his thread. ;)

[MENTION=4850320]iKrYpToNiTe[/MENTION]

I would love for you to write up something and pm me about your ROM method and exactly who it can apply to? Short, sweet and a link to your thread. And I'll add it to the opening post.

I've always been unlocked.... I don't know enough about your method. ;)

Also similar roms that work the same? If you don't mind. ?

you can pm me and I'll add it in.

Thanks my friend! (You don't have to of course.... Just thought your ROM and similar are options too)
[Moto X General] Darth:
I hope it gets read! Lol. The guys that made those threads put a lot of work into them. Yet new root threads pop up daily. ;)

Let's stop repeating root steps and start pointing to the info already available guys. :)
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
+1 !!!!!!!!!
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
I might suggest a few things to clear up the 4.4.2 and Pie, and.... on LOCKED bootloaders.

I would remove "and lower" as while that statement applies to 4.4.2, "lower" would then mean 4.4.0 which SlapMyMoto and MotoWpNoMo still work to root and disable write protection.

Something else I would re-consider... While I agree this thread -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/ref-complete-moto-x-guides-information-t2603358 is great and contains a lot of useful information, it seems to me that many newbies don't understand it, or overlook the information they seek which is why they are asking questions.

For rooting with an unlocked bootloader, might I suggest telling people to get the latest TWRP, SuperSU, and mFastboot, then use -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/step-step-instructions-unlocking-t2649738

http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/ref-complete-moto-x-guides-information-t2603358 does not include how to setup and configure ADB and mFastboot, put them in your path, etc. Something like this -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/ADB.htm. It is needed unless someone uses a "tool kit" to root, and many new users don't have a clue about Platform Tools, ADB, or mFastboot.
[Moto X General] Verttex:
Heyo there! Looks great so far. Just needs a little formatting and this could be really helpful! I'm humbled by having my name linked in the same thread as jcase and geohot. I do believe [MENTION=4850320]iKrYpToNiTe[/MENTION] made an app which makes the Pie+Towelroot easier making my version obsolete.
[Moto X General] Darth:
That will be coming. ;) No way I'm attempting any of that on my mobile browser. Lol. Makes me wanna step on the phone.

As soon as I get time on my family laptop....it'll get a facelift! ;)

You're guide is well laid out for sure....that's why its here. ?

Alternative threads may be added....but only if they have differences. (for different results or methods) Won't be adding basically the same info repeated....just choices. Just in case anyone wonders later.
[Moto X General] Verttex:
I have updated my own thread to link to [MENTION=4850320]iKrYpToNiTe[/MENTION] 's app, so users can get to it from there.

It's also interesting that you mention formatting on mobile browsers. I did most of the writing of that thread on my Moto X while testing everything. It took awhile but it was a relief switching to my PC to respond and edit.
[Moto X General] Darth:
Hello my friend!!

I'll tackle each point you made. ;)

You are right about it making more sense to NOT use Pie on 4.4 and lower....but....as I said in post above....it is an alternative. Some may be scared off by the slapmymoto method, it is pretty involved. Or they might not care about write protection and just want to use a few root apps, so Pie may be their choice. I'll clarify that tho for sure!! Good point. ?

I disagree about the Complete Guide thread on one part, I find its easy to find the section you're looking for. But, I think many just ignore long guides cause they are overwhelmed or simply want a quicker answer. It does cover A LOT tho. And when I use it to link, I always mention the heading they should look for.

I will find a good ADB guide as you said tho....I just realized it was not included. I haven't "used" the guide myself. Lol. But no, I can't use the links you suggested, as that's a thread by a banned member (multiple bans on multiple accounts to be clear) and I would never link to anything by a banned member. Just my preference. ;)

And here is a challenge for you I hope you accept.......

I tend to mostly only link to XDA threads, as XDA is my home for this hobby. If I may make a suggestion....why not take some of the excellent things from your webpage (yes, I've seen it....its awesome!) And translate them into XDA guides? The things that XDA is lacking anyway. No need to write guides where guides already exist. If an existing guide is lacking anything....suggesting to the creator to edit it is a good alternative also. Also, as this is going to be the thread linked to on XDA's new Root Directory for all devices....again, I feel it should point members only to XDA information, not outside sites. Even tho your page is great. ?

If you start with the ADB guide, I'll link it here for sure! ? Otherwise I may use an N5 guide I know....and just point out any differences.... Tho there isn't many.

And for rooting unlocked bootloaders, yes....it could be done a little "slower".... So the newest member could even follow it. So there's another guide that could be made. :)

Again, I didn't make this thread to list procedures......I made it to point to info already created by others. The X section is extremely confusing to newcomers..... We needed a clear "map" to help those new members find what they need. ;)

Hopefully the "how to root" threads may slow down. Also, hopefully quick links to this, or the individual threads within this, will help guys like us and a few others from repeating the info day in and day out.

Thanks for the input...I seriously appreciate it. I'll make a few of those changes/clarifications you suggested tomorrow evening. Its late here now.
[Moto X General] Darth:
Lol. You have more patience than me. I hate using the mobile browsers for almost anything.....especially things like editing colors and what not.

I will get to it very soon on my laptop tho.

I felt this should be put up sooner than later, as every day I see 2 or more "how to root MY device with my situation" threads.

I don't blame them.....its been a long standing issue that the X is confusing, and I think more than anything, a lot of the confused members just want confirmation that they're on the right track.

There's perfectly great info on it all in the threads.....but finding it and what suits your circumstance is another story. Its all over. Lol
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Phew! The sheer thought of writing up one-third of what you have on your mobile device exhausts me. I tend to take my laptop -everywhere-, and use the phone for well....phone things LOL and for a substitute when I just can't have my laptop with me. Wow! I wouldn't have thought for one second you'd be patient enough to write all of this up on your phone. KUDOS, bro. You have far more patience than I. ;)

Thanks again for the new thread. I know it will be just awesome (aesthetically) by the time you are finished with it. :good:
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
I have tried suggesting edits to the OP on some threads. They've been ignored.

I would love to have all the stuff here, so people can stay on one site. But my finally typing the stuff on my web pages rather than the forums has been due to several reasons....

I tried writing some of this stuff either as a new thread, or as a post in a thread created by someone (i.e as a helper).. Two examples. 1. Taking an OTA and Returning to Stock started as this thread -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/faq-kit-kat-how-to-prepare-carriers-t2536735 and Bootloader Unlock FAQ started THIS POST in this thread -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/4-1-vzw-att-moto-maker-bootloader-t2680651 and was linked in the OP. I pasted links to it in the "China Middleman Back???" thread. And I posted links to the OTA thread when relevant. Unfortunately, they were ignored, and the same questions asked.

I'm not as well versed and comfortable with layout and formatting, in the forums. Its easier for me to do on my PC with an HTML editor. It makes doing it via web page faster and easier for me.

Doing it as web pages, posting to my site, I could work on them offline, as time permitted, easily formatting them they way I want, etc. then upload after they are ready. Its easy to include pictures if I want, bold, colors, sizes, etc. Putting them in a post is more time consuming, I have to get it right and complete immediately, format it, etc. before I save/post it. Its more difficult to go back and edit a forum post, update it, etc. Again, editing must be done online, and in its entirety. I can't start editing, save, and finish editing tomorrow, otherwise the post wont make sense.

its how I've always done it, even back in the day on HowardForums, especially when we really needed to test most of the processes FIRST before making them available to the public. I could make the page, and only those I gave the link to could see it until I was ready to go live with it.

As for an ADB guide, or rooting an unlocked bootloader X, I could make make them. I would want them to be illustrated so newer people can follow along. Sure us "more experienced members" don't need that much detail, but we aren't the ones asking the questions. :silly: Unfortunately for me, that would be easier to do via web page. :(

I agree that there needs to be a comprehensive repository for rooting the X, the info is scattered, has changed, etc. There is just so much, so many places to start, so many "conditions" and caveats, I wouldn't know where to start. SO I do commend you on this undertaking!

I wouldn't mind taking this discussion to PM if you have ideas or suggestions on how to quickly/easily take some of my pages and convert them to posts.. rather than clutter this thread up any more.
[Moto X General] Darth:
I hear ya!!! :)

I don't know much about formatting any page, web or XDA. Lol. I throw in a little color and bold type and underlines...that's about all I know. Lol

I will add your page at the credits area at the end of the OP with the other links. Its definitely worth it for people needing help. ;). (Tonight....hate editing on my phone).

As far as cluttering this thread...I'm not sure if its allowed, but I may ask it to be cleaned after a bit and the OP has been discussed enough and tweaked. Would take a moderator a bit of time....but would be worth it to remove all out discussion that is not directly about rooting. If its not possible....this will all disappear back in the pages eventually.

Hopefully more of the actual root related posts will go in the appropriate threads anyway. Aside from pointing out the way to anyone still unsure which applies to them. Shouldn't be actual troubleshooting here tho. ?

Thanks for your suggestions! If you've noticed I did make some adjustments based on your comments. ;)

[Moto X General] m0yP:
Excellent thread, though.

For me, getting to the Motorola's Android environment was kind of tricky, specially coming from a Galaxy S3 Mini, which was my first Android device (coming from iOS and Blackberry) and rooting it was a piece of cake.

Fortunately I got a SIM-unlocked XT1053, which could and was bootloader unlocked by me. So rooting was easier than some other variants are.

I see that there are info everywhere but spread on XDA and other forums. It's nice to see that there is one root-specific thread now, where all possible options are covered.

Keep it going!
[Moto X General] :
BTW... I said the same thing about Sunshine.... And was told a guide is coming.... That never happened. So it's not in here either. ?
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
Fair enough, but at least mention it and link to the cf-auto-root official thread and page and say "no detailed info available, continue at your own risk" just so people know that such a method exists.

Your post is titled [Once Stop Shop], so one would assume that all known info about rooting the Moto X is there and they shouldn't have to (and probably wouldn't) look elsewhere when they read it. I for once, wouldn't have been happy if i was a new Moto X user and I was made to believe that the only way to root on an unlocked bootloader is to flash custom recovery because I like to stay as stock as possible including stock recovery. So if i was made to double flash my recovery partition to root and get back to stock recovery and I knew later that there was an easier way that doesn't involve overwriting ur recovery partition (twice) or flashing anything (u use "fastboot boot" to boot the cf-auto-root image, not "fastboot flash" to flash it), I wouldn't have been a happy user because ur "Once Stop Shop" post didn't mention that this method even exists.

I will try to put together a step-by-step guide on how to use it if I have some free time and let u know.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
To flash recovery, did you do the following...

mfastboot flash recovery twrp.img

mfastboot reboot-bootloader

Follow onscreen directions to use vol down key and highlight recovery, then use vol up to select/enter recovery?

Hello,

yes i did all, tried to flash recovery many times, restarted bootloader, then volume to to highlight recovery and power button to select recovery.. it is i think making phone power of because when i press power button on black screen it switch on mobile.

Thanks for the advice! The main reason I posted here was to verify I couldnt root my phone based on running 4.4.4. Most of the things ive found so far, need the phone to be rooted!

Yeah, there's no root for a locked bootloader moto X on 4.4.4.

Also no way to unlock the bootloader on 4.4.4. (for Verizon, at&t and RW)

You can try Sunshine (Google "Sunshine moto x" for the website) but it usually fails on 4.4.4.
