No words.....

If a newer radio (which offers no promise of improved performance) outweighs the desire to have root and bump, then you should use the recovery tool to get your phone back to bone stock and then take the update. There are plenty of threads that talk about how to do this - usually from people that have taken the update and want to get back to where they were. Maybe that should be a sign for you. If you do take the update, don't come back here crying when you realize what you are missing out on....... Good luck.
[AT&T LG G3] jerrycoffman45:
you can get root and bump after the upgrade just use stump root
[AT&T LG G3] Nutzzer:
Thank you all! Will wait it out for a couple more days to see what I will do.
[AT&T LG G3] sic0048:
This time, but what about next time? There is no guarantee that root and or bump will ever survive a OTA update.
[AT&T LG G3] jerrycoffman45:
That is correct from what I have read lolipop will be harder to root and we might not get root

I have no Visualizer in my Walkman, not in the options menu or in the settings or in the sideswipe pane. It's currently Version 8.4.A.5.4, updated through OTA, though I can't remember ever having it, probably because I was running Carbon for a while. I'm on stock .283 MEA, rooted, locked bootloader. I have Xposed, but no modules relating to Walkman. I'm unable to find a single mention of this anywhere on the forums or the internet in general. Don't suppose anyone can help with this?
[Sony Xperia ZR] sourabhp:
check if you have /root/system/app/SemcMusicVisualizer.apk
[Sony Xperia ZR] SirVer:
Yes, it's there, odex and all, with correct permissions.

Go to walkman > 3 dot menu on right top corner > there you will see option for visualizer

please check if you have mistakenly disabled it. setting > app > Disabled tab

cant think of anything else why its not available in walkman menu. may b u can try deodexing your stock rom n check
[Sony Xperia ZR] SirVer:
I can't check now; I flashed the new Lollipop build. [emoji28]

However, since root is essential for me, I'll probably be back to KK in a week or so; I'll check then. Thank you for your responses!

memul-stock-recovery-2.18.401.3.img

It installed that ota having .2, and it worked fine... but recovery works?
[HTC One Mini 2] mad_wings:
Yeah, recovery works.. Only that my update is smaller (around 130MB) and I presume it's because you went from .2 and I am trying to update from .5.. hm, maybe I should downgrade it and then try?
[HTC One Mini 2] gibihr:
If it's the same model it should work.. But I thought it would work even with older recovery, I'd give it a try. As we're from the same country we should have the same model :)
[HTC One Mini 2] mad_wings:
I thought so to.. but no..

only if I'm doing something wrong, and I don't see it.. ;) from .2 it went to .5 with no problem.

[HTC One Mini 2] Will972:

[HTC One Mini 2] mad_wings:
I had few problem with installing this OTA on 2.16.401.5 (which I had on my phone). I tried with different stock recovery (1.16.401.2, 2.16.401.1, 2.18.401.3). But nothing... Finally, this is how I installed it:

1. TWRP - backup all

2. Restore full TWRP stock backup 2.16.401.1

3. Configure phone, only with wifi - Installed OTA 2.16.401.5

4. Restore this rom to factory settings, boot to TWRP and made full stock backup of 2.16.401.5

5. Configure phone, only with wifi - Installed OTA 2.18.401.3

6. Restore this rom to factory settings, boot to TWRP and made full stock backup of 2.18.401.3

7. Restored my TWRP backup from first step

8. Restored TWRP backup of 2.18.401.3 ONLY system and boot

9. Installed SuperSU, updated binary, granted permission to all my aps which needed permission

10. After that, I had to fight to restore ability to write on sd card using this method:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54696085&postcount=13

It was the only one that worked..

11. Final step, I had to remove system bloat apps which I did also via TWRP like in step 11 because if deleted with Root Browser from system/apps and system/priv-apps they would always return after phone reboot..

Yes, I lost half day on trying but I hope this will help someone :) Also, I will have reference for myself in the future :D

Hi guys. I've received the OTA update note on 2.19.401.1, about a couple weeks ago. I'm in Italy with a non branded phone.

on an OMLED screen with such high pixel density, lots of power could be saved by turning some pixels off.

For example, turn off every second pixel. Save 50% screen power.

Is 1/2 pixel density still good enough for quickly checking email, maybe it's even better for low light use?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lude219:
Hypothetically speaking, it doesn't quite work like that. Just because you can shut off half the pixel density, doesn't mean that everything is readable because you're then stuck with a 6in phone with a ~250ppi. I can only imagine how pixelated that's going to be.

For reference, you'd need to shrink that 6in screen down to 4.3in (~250ppi) in order to be readable.

Hi there,

I have had a razr i (XT890 UK) for a few years and use it as a backup phone when travelling. When recently in Argentina I had the phone and a load of computer equipment stolen, luckily I had Cerberus installed on my phone and located the thief and managed to get a search warrant served on his house by the police and recovered all my equipment! But, now back in the UK the phone won't register on any UK networks. I just looked at the baseband and it appears to have been flashed to one called SUNRISE_SMB_REV30_V2_R3_ENZO_1251.B_SEC. Does anyone know if it's possible to flash my phone back to factory settings and functioning on a UK network, or if I should just forget about it?

Many thanks for any advice.

Hopefully the flash of the BB will return it to life. Thanks again for the feedback, much appreciated.
[Java for Android App Development] galaara98:
I have searched for a particular application on the Interwebbies and across XDA and have not been able to find what I'm looking for.

I have searched across XDA for the right forum to "petition" for the creation of an app that meets my needs and found no obvious "appropriate" thread. (In both cases the failure could be my searching skills)

So I have chosen this thread as my best guess for where to plea for help. (And accept wholeheartedly if my post needs to be moved)

I am looking for an android app to solve the following need, within the following constraints, etc.

1) a primary, required, function of the app is to shutdown/power off (or reboot) the device if a human does not interact with the app within a preconfigured time period.

1a) the minimum definition of interact is

1aa) a human who intends to re-arm the timer must be physically within the maximum distance of at least one onboard sensor or radio of the device. (I am constraining the need to be ”not triggerable from a remote sensor”, however I do not deny that may be valuable)

--and--

1ab) said human must cause a onboard sensor to "register their presence" (or send a "signal" or trigger to one of the devices radios) in a way that would be generally accepted by the programming community as unlikely to be accidentally triggered. (To avoid re-arming without valid interaction)

2) a secondary, optional, function of the app is to obscure its primary purpose

2a) for instance have innocent other functions (like a text editor), or be integrated in a way that this app is just part of list of functions (like integrated into the settings app)

3) the app can be an "Android App" (Like: a java based APK). Or an "Android Extension/Tweak" (Like: a java, C, or shell based alteration of Android OS)

3a) if it is possible without root, it would make the app more "reusable" for other's need. If not a Xposed module is a valid solution (to gain root without this app needing to specifically acquire it)

4) if a setting and configuration function is not supplied to the user, then the expected interaction is to "cause pre-explained process to come to the foreground" and the expected timer is 24 hours from boot but reset the timer to 24 hours from the most recent time a correct and successful "interaction" occurs.

---

The underlying purpose of the app is to help one maintain security, confidentiality, etc. of a device that is fully encrypted. The goal is, if the human who caused the device to be encrypted: does not check in, the device would revert to its pre-passphrase state

Aaron

Reply or PM me for clarifications.

PS there is no bounty for this app at this time. But I am not oppose to compensating, but I have a pizza level budget

PPS I have 15+ years in the IT field with emphasises on security and encryption. But my programing skills are generally MS windows based (and generally in forensic, automation, and Windows administration tasks) though I can read and give feedback, bug reports, etc. for almost any language.

Hi everyone!

I want to remove all google calendars from my phone. I'm using an other CalDAV service. That's why I find them distracting and want to get rid of them.

I did de-select syncing the calendar in my Google account on my phone (Xperia Z2) so the calendar won't get synced any more. I also read that people cleared the calendar storage. I tried to clear that as well as both calendar apps (Android/Google and Sony). This will actually remove the Google calendars for a few moments, however, they are coming back :crying:

Is there a way to get rid of the calendars entirely?
