[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] sweetboy02125:
In my Note 2, under Accounts (Samsung), I have option to backup/restore text messages, contacts, wallpaper, and calender for Jelly Bean 4.3. So Every time i reset the phone i just need go there and hit Restore all old text messages back. NOW it's GONE for the Note 4 Kitkat 4.4.

Under Samsung account in Setting I only have Ads, Data combination option and Storage usage. No more BACKUP and Restore.

Just saying .... :)

Go to the Google play store and install Samsung Smart Switch Mobile on both devices. Process is super simple and headache free.

I don't see why it wouldn't as it is Bluetooth. Now the buttons doing what you want them to do may be the question.

I saw the Nvidia shield controller but it's compatible just the Nvidia tablet, i did this question just to know this...

So, do you think the buttons are full compatible (they will do what i want them to do) with my android tv?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXgOrAiZeXx:
So I accidentally deleted my os, rom, everything and for the past day or so I have been trying to go back to stock and I simply can't. I downloaded both an RUU.zip and exe and made sure the android-info.txt file had the same modelid and cidnum but it still fails. I will post images below of where my problem arises. I have s-off unlocked bootloader and was able to go from 1.56 hboot back to the 1.44 hboot no problem. In the second image I tried using an RUU, stock odexed rom, and then a firmware update but all failed :(. The errors occur when checking the info parsing or model id.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
first you can not use "fastboot flash zip" to flash odexed rom or any other roms, they must be flashed using a custom recovery. Only firmware pacakge and ruu can be flashed this way.

I also see that your version main is 1.10.605.10 which is for verizon phones MID: PN0731000 (yours is PN0713000) and cid VZW__001 (yours is T-MOB010). It looks like you have flashed a verizon firmware on your t-mobile phone which is not a good thing.... Dont know what you have previously done to this phone but it looks like you are trying to hard brick it :p

Dont understand neither why you are trying to flash the 6.09.401.5 odexed rom that doesnt match your phone info...

Here are the ruu for your phone (PN0713000 and T-MOB010):

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...0-20_10-40-1150-04_release_324846_signed-exe/

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...3_10-38m-1157-04_release_336982_signed_2-exe/

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...157-04_release_336982_signed_2_decrypted-zip/

use one of them and see if your phone can recover (I hope that flashing the wrong firmware did not bricked it)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXgOrAiZeXx:
[MENTION=4654136]alray[/MENTION] Thanks for much for the info! Can't believe I was trying to flash the wrong ruu's :/. I will download the ones you provided and report back in few hours when I get home and hopefully my phone can still be saved.

So I picked up a ADT-1 due to having Ethernet and more HD space on it. FOund out only certain apps can "cast" to it due to it being a dev device has there been anyone that figured out what needs to get it to have full casting features?

1. Root

2. Open /system/build.prop

3. Change the line

4. Reboot

5. Enjoy.
[Google Chromecast] Budius:
I'm trying to do this but I'm being very unlucky. Not sure what's going wrong and any light on the matter will be greatly appreciated.

I changed the ro.build.type from `user` to `eng` and my device (on LPX13D) stops booting completely. All I see is the android logo and then blank screen. I already tried two times. The process I did is (from sudo on my Ubuntu 14 machine)

- adb pull /system/build.prop

- edit build.prop on `nano` on Ubuntu (change only that line)

- adb push build.prop /sdcard/

- adb shell

- su

- mount -o remount,rw /system

- mv /sdcard/build.prop /system/

the second time I adb pull /system/build.prop again just to check that the only thing changed was that, and it was fine.

The only thing I've been able to do to recover the system is to:

- install CWM from here https://forum.gtvhacker.com/adt-f52/topic1629.html (fastboot flash recovery <filename>)

- flash the image from here http://xdaforums.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/adt1-stock-molly-images-unbricking-t2927888

- and then using the root from this post: https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/a5YshULM8hf to be able to "adb shell su"

any help? Maybe some bizarre permission on my ubuntu machine because I'm on "sudo shell" ?
[Google Chromecast] HomerSp:
build.prop has to be chmodded to 0644, or the device will not boot.
[Google Chromecast] Budius:
HomeSp I can't thank you enough!

That was exactly the issue. Third time is a charm.

So at the end of the procedure I:

- cd /system/

- mv build.prop build.prop.bak (just for the the sake of it)

- mv /sdcard/build.prop /system/

- chmod 0644 build.prop

- chown :root build.prop (prolly not needed but what-a-heck, why not)

- ls -l (and checked that both build.prop and build.prop.bak are exactly the same permission, owner and group)

- exit, exit adb reboot and all works great"

Thanks again!!!
[Google Chromecast] jm9843:
For the purposes of modifying build.prop using "adb shell su", do you only have to flash the bootloader image from the linked post? I'd like to make the bare minimum changes so that future OTA's will install after restoring the original build.prop and flashing the stock bootloader.
[Google Chromecast] Budius:
my idea was a bare-minimum changes too. I just ended up ****ing up stuff and had to re-built a couple of times until I made it right.

but yeah, if you're comfortable with terminal commands and do the proper `chmod` (which I originally didn't), you can get everything done with "adb shell su" following like this:

- from PC: adb shell pull file to your PC

- from PC: edit file

- from PC: adb shell push file to /sdcard/

- from PC: adb shell

- from device shell: su

- from device shell/su: make /system/ writable, chmod file, rename "old" build.prop, copy new one over, double check chmod before rebooting.

ps.: the root from that post does install SuperUser.apk on the device, it's there on the UI, but after you do those changes there's some options in the .apk to remove root and uninstall it (if you want to)
[Google Chromecast] Harkunwar:
I just thought that I'd directly use some build prop editor apk and do it easily but now my device is bricked :v

Stock ROM on download.

I'm just getting a black screen and bootloader.
[Google Chromecast] jm9843:
So, the build.prop edit detailed in this thread works fine to make the ADT-1 a cast target for all Google Cast enabled apps. The problem is that it's hardly worth doing right now since Google Cast support on Android TV seems to be a work in progress. There's a support article that details third-party apps that are not supported - https://support.google.com/androidtv/answer/6123347

In addition to the apps listed there, I found that Watch ESPN isn't working on ADT-1 either. It's selectable in the app, but the video playback will not start. Here's to hoping that Google brings the Google Cast Receiver app for Android TV up to snuff soon - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.mediashell
[Google Chromecast] kentoe:
Have any of you tried Slingplayer casting after changing build.prop?

Apple TV just died recently, it was the most reliable thing for Airplaying Slingplayer. Chromecast slingplayer kind of is ****ty at times.
[Google Chromecast] jpsiemer:
Followed Budius' instructions and it worked perfectly.

adb pull /system/build.prop

----(edit build.prop on Notepad++ and changed ro.build.type=user to ro.build.type=eng)

adb push build.prop /sdcard/

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

cd /system/

mv build.prop build.prop.bak

mv /sdcard/build.prop /system/

chmod 0644 build.prop

chown :root build.prop

ls -l

---(checked that both build.prop and build.prop.bak are exactly the same permission, owner, and group)

mount -o remount,ro /system

exit

exit

adb reboot
[Google Chromecast] Budius:
during the update from 5.0 -> 5.0.2 my ADT-1 stopped working again :(

It showed the little droid with the belly open and an error message

so that means here I went again to restore it, and this time I manage to streamline a bit the process, so let's share with you guys. Remember, my idea with this process is to have STOCK, but with Cast working from any app. I have no intention to root, or flash custom this or that. I want something that I can cast without issues and hopefully it will update the next update without problems.

first of all, the CWM link I posted before is giving malware warnings on Chrome so I found an alternative, and of course XDA is the source (see downloads).

so to factory restore ADT-1 to good working condition, was the same I said before:

- install CWM:

fastboot flash recovery cwm_molly_recovery_lpx13d.img

- install stock image. CWM->install zip-> from ADB:

adb sideload update-molly-Stock-LPV79-1.zip

- reboot and let auto-update run until the end.

now to enable cast to all apps with absolutely minimal modifications to the system (hopefully enabling future updates to run without issues)

- reboot ADT-1, holding the button, enter fastboot mode

- reboot to the CWM, but without installing it:

fastboot boot cwm_molly_recovery_lpx13d.img

- in CWM go to `mount n storage` -> mount /system

and carry on to do the build.prop modification from there, the trick is that I did not have to install a custom recovery and did not have to install super user. I made the modification directly via a RAM-only CWM and that's it. So below is just a copy of my previous post

> adb pull /system/build.prop /home/budius/build.prop

then change the build.prop on my computer and rename to new_build.prop.

And back to terminal

> adb push /home/budius/new_build.prop /system/new_build.prop
> adb shell
# cd system
# mv build.prop build.prop.bak
# mv new_build.prop build.prop
# chmod 0644 build.prop

And that's all! Full cast enabled to ADT-1 with the most absolutely minimal system changes I could come up with :) :p :victory: :highfive:

Downloads:

- here you'll find a very nice workin CWM.

- good working stock Android TV image for ADT-1

I cannot find a thread for the ZTE Zinger Z667T yet.

Maybe it is too new? Or am I searching badly?

Low end phone but it is a dirt cheap GSM ($10 !) yet fast dual core with KitKat 4.4.2

https://www.phonearena.com/phones/ZTE-Z667_id8985

The hardware buttons are WAY too bright and and haptic feedback is way too strong.

Hoping those can be addressed someday as well as reprogramming hardware buttons.

Framaroot and towelroot do not work on it. Bootloader rom replacement is probably a pipedream?

Apparently this phone is also sold as the "Whirl 2" same exact specs and internal model number (Z667G) for $10 at some dollar stores

The only chance at root for now perhaps is for someone to go through all the permutations that geohot allows inside of towelroot via modstrings:

Hopefully zte did not patch it after June 3rd because then none of the futex bug root hacks are going to work and we might have to wait a long time for another exploit to be found.

I'll happily send one of these phones to any established developer who has proven they can root other phones without known exploits, no need to return it, PM me.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] darren49:
Hi.

I purchased this a couple of days ago but have only just got around to trying it out.

First impressions are that it is very solidly programmed, it's pretty intuitive to use and that it's going to be really useful.

I have one issue so far in that my mouse only behaves as expected if I rotate it 90° clockwise when the program takes over control. I'm using it on a TV stick (mk808) which is in landscape mode which may have something to do with it. I apologise in advance if I'm overlooking an option somewhere.

I also have a feature request:

There are many games that do not respond to mouse clicks at all and are only expecting to receive touch input (obviously not the case on a TV stick).

Would it be possible to add a 'touch mouse' option so that a cursor is shown wherever the mouse cursor would have been but when clicking a 'touch' is made instead?

I hope I've explained that well enough (I can dig up some links that may be able to explain it better than I can).

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] AnkitChowdhury:
Hi Darren,

Firstly ,I am indeed the Developer of this very app. But pardon me, I wasn't exactly able to comprehend the issue you're facing with the Mouse. Could you please rephrase the problem may be.

Now about the feature suggestion I'm afraid I won't be able to add this feature at this very moment. These are early times in the app's lifecycle so I'd like to wait for a while and collect all the suggestions and would look to implement the ones which most people want. But still, thanks a lot for the suggestion.

Anyways. do elaborate about the Mouse issue. I'll look into it.

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] darren49:
Thanks for the reply.

I didn't explain it very well, did I (I confess I was thinking more about my feature request :D).

The issue is that when I move the mouse to the left the touch cursor moves upwards, when I move it up the touch cursor moves to the right etc...

I have since discovered that the keyboard is affected as well. If I create a profile with the mouse in the centre of the screen for example and put a 'q' directly to the left of it, when I enable that profile the mouse behaves as explained above and when I press q on the keyboard the touch cursor appears as if I had placed it directly above the mouse. In other words it's as if the entire profile has been rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

My assumption is that the problem is because on most mobile phones the 'natural' orientation is portrait whereas on my TV stick (and most tablets?) the 'natural' orientation is landscape (I could be completely wrong though).

I hope that explains it a bit better.

Thank you for considering my feature request, the only way I have found to get around it is using Droidmote but I would much rather use a mouse than my phone to control my TV stick. I doubt there are many others that will request it as well though, unfortunately.
