CF-Auto root for the N6: http://youtu.be/0c1kR36KUFs

Definitely doing this when I get home tonight
[Nexus 6  General] jimbridgman:
^^ This right here!! ^^

You do NOT have to do the check mark or even enable the developer setting to unlock the BL.

I did the fastboot oem unlock, before I even booted the phone the first time. I just powered it to fastboot the first time I turned it on, and ran that command did the thing where you have to tell yes on the screen, then did start from the fastboot screen, it auto factory reset and I was golden, and I just rooted this morning with no issues.

Now to flash the non-forced encryption image.
[Nexus 6  General] eep2378:
Same here. I unlocked the bootloader first thing WITHOUT checking box in developer settings. No issues. I'm gonna attribute those having issues to user error.
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
Add me to the list. As soon as I got my phone, I went into the bootloader screen first, without booting into Android at all. I did the fastboot oem unlock, waited a few minutes for the "erasing" and it booted fine. I installed Chainfire's auto-root, and all my root apps are working okay,

I never knew there was the Unlock OEM option in Developers Options until I just saw this thread now.

EDIT: I just checked now, and Unlock OEM was not checked off as some members say it was when they booted the phone up. Maybe mine was checked off until I actually unlocked the bootloader? I have no idea :-\ Sorry
[Nexus 6  General] purpl3rain:
Cool.

So when you got your phone, the first thing you did was go into the bootloader (power + vol down)? Then "fastboot oem unlock" in adb, then "Yes unlock" option, then "fastboot reboot"?

Thanks, just want to get the steps correct.
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
That is exactly what I did. I didn't know about the OEM Unlock checkbox. I just figured let me unlock the bootloader on a pristine device before I even boot into Android for the first time.
[Nexus 6  General] farangutan:
I unlocked bootloader right out of the box and had no idea about that setting in the developers options.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chertVdetali:
Hello Everyone,

I have a problem with my amami and I doubt I am the only one but for some reason people do hardly complain: the brightness even at lowest possible setting is still too bright.

I had this back when I had original FW and I am having the same issue with CM11 (latest nightlies). Using manual control or auto-brightness doesn't make much difference, i.e. in a totally dark room the ambient light sensor reports 0Lux and the screen is still too bright.

I found a workaround already (the ScreenFilter app that people recommend all over the internet) but it sucks because it heavily reduces the picture quality, i.e. visibly reduces contrast and especially the gray color resolution. And it also doesn't reduce power consumption like real brightness value change would do.

I looked around for possible solutions and there is a trick with writting a new value of current limit to Linux settings (some mA value between 0 and 20 to some max_current file in procfs). And this really helps but also impacts the maximum brightness, the screen is hardly ready in sun light with reduced current.

Is there a silver bullet? I am thinking about writing an app for that but it would require SU permissions and is kinda dirty to implement. Can anyone recommend a better solution?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob rich:
have you tried the xposed Modul "minimum brightness" ?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] New Folder:
Install Lux Brightness. from play store.

You can overboost it or make the screen so dark that you can't even see it.

Another great screen mod is Twilight which basically dims the screen red based on clock so it helps fall sleep faster when using phone before bed.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camaro322hp:
Yes, another vote for Lux. It lets you set brightness to negative levels, mine is usually around -50%. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vito.lux&hl=en
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voryzen:
Vote for Lux here too.

Nothing comes close
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chertVdetali:
Thanks for the hint. I tried the Lite version and AFAICS it simply uses the same trick as ScreenFilter and other "sub-zero" regulators, putting an alpha overlay on top of the image stack.

You can identify this kludge easily by looking at the button areas, they don't get darker anymore. And you can see the black level not getting real black, i.e. the power consumption is not reduced.

However, Lux seems to be one of the better toys because of the plugin interface. Unfortunately there is no HW plugin for Sony devices but judging by the quick look at the Nexus-4 plugin (it's open source!!) it should be possible to adopt this method to Z1 as well. So, maybe when someone could eventually implement that.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob rich:
xposed Modul "minimum brightness" works, i tested it for you. you can make the screen dim to complete black with your normal display brightness slider without grey or black overlay. it just sets down the minimum brightness level to 1 or 0 (default is 10 or 20), so it should also work with enabled auto brightness
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wooaarr:
As far as i remember, /proc is only used to call upon information, not to set specific values. What you are looking for is placed within /sys.

To be precise in /sys/devices/leds-qpnp-ee125e00/leds/wled:backlight/. There you will find a file called max_current with which you can easily control the brightness and set it to a very low level. Note that this actually dims the screen and not just applies a filter like most apps do...

One drawback is that the value will change again after you restarted the device. I set up a little flow with Automate β that takes care of this for me. I find this solution a lot better than all the screen filter apps.

This is true for CyanogenMod 11 and GreatDevs Kernel. It might be different on Stock. I know that the path for my Nexus 7 is sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight.

I hope this helps you a little bit.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chertVdetali:
I am wondering how you can claim that the result is complete black. Calling this black is like saying "TN monitors have good black values" (I know such people, they change their mind quickly when they see my Eizo with a VA panel at night).

No, seriously, the default was already 10 (see config.xml in cm11 repo) and the difference between 1 and 10 is hardly visible. It's still way too bright for work without eye strain in the darkness.

[MENTION=4663907]Wooaarr[/MENTION]: thanks, this is apparently the way to go, I just need to find time to configure it. And yes, of course, the file is in sysfs and not procfs (automated typing, when I grew up with Linux there was no sysfs out there ;) ).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob rich:
when i disable autobrightness and push the slider to the left my screen goes completely off, so you wanna say that screen off isnt black? funny
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camaro322hp:
Interesting information, I did not know that. You are correct, the navigation buttons are brighter than the rest of the screen at negative values. I had noticed that before but didn't know why. Works well enough for me though.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chertVdetali:
Well, you claim that it works for me because you tested it on your device. So... yeah, why not, I could say what you mentioned above just following the same logics. :silly:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmullen1373:
So I haven't yet rooted my phone. That's next up on the list. I'm just wondering if (after rooting) if there will be a way to manually add a route when connecting via OpenVPN. The device connects perfectly to the server and the server pushes a route to my device. It's just that when I type 'ip route' in a terminal app on the Note, the pushed routes don't actually get added to the device's routing table. I've read many threads that don't really offer any solution.

I'm just hoping that I can create a Tasker or similar automated task that establishes the connection, manually adds the routes, and then packets start a flowing.

Any thoughts on OpenVPN on KitKat? Surely I'm not the only one stuck in this rut!

Any replies or thoughts are appreciated!

Sent from my Note 4 using the XDA app. Damn this thing's sweet!

EDIT: So I rooted the phone using ChainFire's method. It worked flawlessly. I connected to my VPN (which locally is 192.168.1.1/24). After connecting, I verified that the route didn't exist using a terminal command.

su

ip route

I saw nothing mentioning the 192 network. So, I added 'ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev tun0' and BAM I'm in business. (I ran netcfg to determine which interface my VPN was on -- I assumed tun0 but I did check!)

Hopefully this helps somebody as I've been tearing my hair out for a couple days over this thing. I did reboot and although the routes weren't there (they're evidently not persistent) the VPN still functioned as designed. I ran a DNS leak test and all of my requests were successfully being routed over the VPN -- and that was all I wanted! Cheers....

I had been running CM 10.2 for a while. Last night did a factory reset/wipe cache/dalvik and installed latest CM11 snapshot (M12). Stock camera app was crashing upon startup ("Unfortunately, camera has stopped."). Tried using 2 other camera apps (Google camera and open camera) and neither worked as well. Then tried flashing SlimKat and had the same problem. Already tried reflashing, rebooting, etc. multiple times. Anyone know why this is happening or have a fix?

I am using ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.5.1, if that matters.

Also, already tried the CMFix thing from the play store, if anyone is planning on suggesting that, and it didn't work.

[LG Optimus L90] BigMajster:
Hi, I created a full functional script for resizing partition table for our phone. Now we can have up even a 6gb internal memory.

You will need:

-LG L90 phone of course

-Custom recovery

-Backup Internal SD

-30mb free space on external SD card

-external SD card with backup or update.zip with system

Ready? Let's get started:

-Boot phone to recovery mode

-Install PartitionTableTool.zip from sdcard

-Now you have 3 options to choice:

Maximal- system partition have only 730mb so you can install only custom rom like CynogenMod

Optimal- system partition have 1,5gb so you can also install stock LG rom, but you still have more data.

Stock- this is orginal partition table

-Restore you backup or install new rom form update.zip

-Restore Internal SD

Warning:

After do repartition job you get in external SD cust.img this is bacup cust partition. It serves as tmp and can be broken so before creates a backup.

Sometimes recovery(usually PhilZ ) can get error status 7 when install first time new rom or install correct but stuck at LG logo. Then must go to recovery again and instal again. I will try fix this in next version.

Repartition is possible by KDZ if you use this tools: http://xdaforums.com/lg-l90/general/guide-flash-stock-kdz-offline-lg-l90-t2803479 but select "CS_EMERGENCY" for PhoneMode.
