[HTC Droid DNA] Tari Ren:
[Q] Will I still see pre-loaded apps on Google play "my apps" after removal?

Hello everyone,

I am going to root my DNA so that I can remove all of the pre-installed apps this weekend. After rooting the device (replacing the kernel and acquiring super user mode) I will be uninstalling the apps. After I complete the removal process and confirm that the ROMs are not reinstalling the apps, will I still see the apps on google play when I sift through the "my apps" section? And of course thank you very much for your time reading and posting on this thread.

Sincerely

-Tari Ren

Today the FedEx guy showed up with my Portenzo bookcase.

This is the first time I've ever ordered a case that cost me 100+ after shipping, but damn does it feel solid. The wood frame isn't too tight and putting the N9 in was easy, removing is just as easy since I have the intellistand feature which allows me to prop up the tablet with the added bonus of allowing me to push at the back of the N9 to remove it if necessary.

I got it in black (yes I'm not very creative) but to me it looks like a nice mystery book with no title. I didn't get the magnets that keep the cover closed, it was already quite expensive and I felt that I could live with a strap that kept the case closed. It feels great to hold and the sleep/wake magnet works pretty well.

Overall the case is very solid and in my opinion is a bit expensive but does offer the style and a sense of security for the N9.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] ilatimer1:
I'm jealous. Hopefully I will get mine soon!
[Nexus 9 Accessories] polo79:
I just bought a Portenzo for my wife's Ipad and received it yesterday. They are amazing cases. I really don't think you can find a better case for a tablet.

Portenzo Bookcase

Hey thanks for sharing great pics. Can you tell me where you got the bookcase or show me a link? It's pretty expensive in my opinion lol but I would like to check it out.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] neoWhite:
Just google Portenzo and you should find it. It is expensive and I can't get myself to pay that premium.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] LinS123:
http://shop.portenzo.com/nexus-9/

That's the link. It's expensive but then they also have the pricier leather model. I wish I was loaded and got that. Maybe for my next tablet, for now I like the standard bookcover.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] AstroDigital:
Amazing wonder if the ship to Canada?

What about the camera you need to remove the N9 for pictures?

Worry about heat?
[Nexus 9 Accessories] polo79:
I think you have to pay $5 more for the camera hole. Keep in mind, they hand make these tablets made to order for each customer individually. It is DEFINITELY worth the price, in my opinion, it is just a matter of how long you will keep the tablet. I bought one for my wife because she will keep her Ipad until the damn thing literally falls apart. For me, I wouldn't dare spend that much money on a tablet case because I always have to upgrade.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] AstroDigital:
Thanks I found out about the camera from the website, after I sent Portenzo a message.

Do you think ventilation maybe a issue with the tablet in the case?

People are complaining about heat, it looks like it may if anything add to the issue.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] polo79:
I dont think so but I'm sure it depends on the tablet. The nexus 9 does get hot but i dont think the portenzo will be effected more than other cases.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] LinS123:
They do ship to Canada and provide different shipping options too.

I did pay for the camera cut out, it was 5 dollars I think. As for the heat output, the N9 has room to breathe and it doesn't seem to hinder the tablet from cooling down in anyway. I'm not sure (is wood a good insulator/conductor?), but to me it works fine.

I plan on keeping the N9 for a while since it's just the right size compared to the smaller N7 (2012 and 2013) and the Shield Tablet just wasn't to my liking. So spending this much for a sense of security is nice, plus it feels amazing.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] AstroDigital:
I just ordered one, sure from what I read I will not be disappointed
[Nexus 9 Accessories] 3dupunk:
Looks amazing and is my style but I'm entirely too active to have one of these.

[Nexus 9 Accessories] sladflob:
I just took delivery of mine and it looks great! Maybe I have more money than sense, but this is my third Portenzo case, the others were for my Nexus 7s. It looks particularly good in this size and aspect ratio, and the angle on the stand is perfect. I wouldn't use anything else.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] a.gu:
Well, I was not considering this case until reading this thread, and it seems that this would be a worthwhile investment. LinS123, wood is a great insulator- there should be NO problems with letting the tab breathe. I think that this case looks quite worth the money.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] AstroDigital:
Got it :)

Two things I am not fond about.

1) It is thicker than I expected. Kind of a let down makes the Nexus 9 in the case at least twice as thick than a naked Nexus 9.

2) Should of not got the elastic.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] a.gu:
Yeah, I just am not using a case, I think. Too much bulk. I have a little carrying case, but I'm not going to strap it into an overbearing piece of plastic.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] AstroDigital:
I purchased an OTG cable, does not fit in the cut out.

It is shame, not going to cut down the opening and while the Nexus 9 is nice a secure do not want to pull it out of the case.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] idelgado782:
These are some great looking cases. I especially like the leather ones. I might have to pick one up! Thanks for sharing op!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] scrawnyb:
Hello all,

I managed to grab a Cricket-branded Galaxy S5. I decided this was the best area to post and ask questions because I believe this phone is locked down the exact same as the AT&T one (and might even be 1:1 other than software and the logo on the back), plus the fact that AT&T owns Cricket.

Currently, I only have the device rooted using TowelRoot.

I want to install SafeStrap, but wasn't sure if it would go smoothly, and I don't have an image to use with ODIN if I mess things up.

Can anyone suggest how to best create a stock image, or provide links/info to a stock ROM for this phone on Cricket?

Model: Samsung SM-G900AZ

Android version: 4.4.2

Baseband: G900AZTUU1ANE7

Kernel: 3.4.0-1732610 [May 29]

Build: KOT49H.G900AZTUU1ANE7

I would like to back it up, install SafeStrap, and try out some custom ROMs (I know Bootloader is locked, so I'd be limited in that regards), or possibly install Xposed to tweak some device behavior.

Can someone please advise?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Swimguy14:
Install safestrap, the worst that can happen is it may say installed but when you try to reboot to recovery, it will just reboot like normal and its as if the installation didn't actually 'stick'.

That's what happened to me...

After uninstalling the safeatrap installer and re-installing the app, then re-running the app, it said that safestrap was successfully installed, and this time upon tapping 'reboot to SS recovery' it actually worked.

You definitely do not need all the trouble of making a backup right now.. Just install ss and then make a full backup as usual.

Ps we have the same phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Venomdroid:
Recently bought a s5 cricket, and what I have rooted for odin using the method cf-root, now I want to change the recovery to philz and change the kernel by one a bit more efficient and thrifty, and read about the Ss but not sure which version should I use because I can not find any for my team, I would assert that this circulating ND3 or that could use?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Venomdroid:
This is my phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Swimguy14:
I hate to tell you that will be impossible..

Unless soneone can correct me, i am 99% sure our boooader is locked and will remain as such.

So, safeatrap is your only option for recovery/flashing, and in addition you will be limited to flashing tw-based Roms. Custom kernels are not an option unless /until the bootloader is unlocked.

Sorry to be the Bearer of bad news
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Venomdroid:
I understand, however I wonder what version of SS I use to at least make a backup of my current rom and to test some custom rooms? the truth is that I feel bound hand and buy the tlf a good price and would like to customize much as my S3, but hey I'll have to resign myself to use it well and lighten the version that brings factory.;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] 13jeremywt:
Hi, I'm kind of new to this, but I have a Cricket S5, and have some quick questions regarding rooting.

1. Is there anyway to fully unroot the cricket phone after rooting it with towelroot? (unvoid the warranty)

2. Will the bootloader ever be unlocked, so that I can flash custom roms?

Thanks for any help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
1. Yes, theres an unroot option in SuperSU that ive suggested to be used or you can reflash with odin, there are guides in the general forum if you check there

2. Will it ever be unlocked? Most likely not. Can it be unlocked? Yes, but unless something pops up it would have to be by getting the decryption key.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Swimguy14:
The bootloader is unlocked. From the beginning, unlocked. No need to decrypt anything or get a key or any of that hassle.

Yes, you can fully unroot if you choose
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Mababel05:
Rakuu,

Im attempting to UNroot my sm-900az to stock and for some reason i cant find super user in order to retun to stock via that method, do you or anyone else know where to find the Stock ROM that i could use ODIN to go back with???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
There are multiple stock roms in the general section.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AAccount:
Ok so I think I'll finally reveal the secrets behind youtube blocked. If you haven't figured it out by now, the blocked in youtube blocked stands for AD-blocked! The only unfortunate side effects is it produce google play service periodic crashes.

Ever since compiling omni 5.0 I really missed wanam's youtube xposed module that killed youtube ads dead. There is no xposed for android 5.0 and for some reason, youtube can bypass AdAway's hosts file based blocking. This did not sit well with me so I decided to look at how wanam does it. I really have to say that smali looks like the assembly wanna be of java. It uses assembly logic of jumping if statements but doesn't pull its function parameters off the stack.

After converting the xposed module to a class file, I used jd-gui to see how it works. I then used jd-gui to look at youtube's dexs converted to a class file. Using those 2 I managed to find out where the corresponding smali is and how to hard edit the xposed mod. That actually isn't enough to kill it as youtube now detects it's a modified apk and not from google. Once again it's logcat to the rescue in figuring out what is causing the crash. Turns out to be a parcel signature check so I just removed that from the offending file and we have youtube blocked... ad blocked that is!

Credits:

-wanam

Somehow I think the occasional crashes is from google play services realizing it's feeding a weirdly signed youtube app. I don't mind the crashes as it's a simple split second click of OK as opposed to sitting through a long video ad for every video I want to watch to burn time.

Screenshots...: do you really need any? It's just the normal youtube app.

Link: (it's in the same folder as firefox unblocked) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=21935

Epilog: the v6.0.11 mod is produced on my almost 11 year old pentium 4 scrapyard computer. This is probably its last "mission" before retiring to be replaced by my new super computer. It only takes the old thing ~2 mins to do the actual decompiling, converting dex to class etc. Most of the time is spent by me looking for what to edit.

Hey Guys,

Need help with Tasker and using Google Calender. I work different shifts everyday. Using a CSV file i imported my schedule into Google Calender. I use tasker to read the Calender entry and based on the shift i am working Tasker will set my phone into work mode. For example if im working for 8am, tasker will switch to work profile at 8am. Works fine. Only thing is im usually 5-10mins early for my shift, so between period of lets say 7:50 to 7:59 my phone will be on normal mode and my notifications will be heard. My question is can Tasker switch into work profile mode 10mins before the calender entry is set.

I know you may be thinking why not use tasker to switch to work mode based on location, the issue with that is, my gf lives close to my work, so it seems when i am by her my phone logs unto the same cell tower or range cause when i did that my phone goes into work mode by her.

Or would u suggest setting my shifts to Ten minutes before they start in my calender??

Try a different hdmi cable. You don't have to register with anyone when you get the firetv. In my experience of building firetv's for friends (about 10 of them), one of them was indeed defective where the remote would loose its pairing in about 10 seconds. I'd say try another cable or ask for an exchange.

It needs to be gently pushed in, there will be a click and it will come out. You can use an object that fits in the slot area with a blunt edge. I used a micro sd to sd card adapter. Also make sure the slot cover is twisted 180 so it is out of the way of the sim card.

Hey all, was reminded of a tip on Google + by Geoffrey Brackman when Google currents app and sync used to slow down the nexus 7 a while ago. I disabled news stand and sync and noticed an improvement in snappiness and less app hang time. Things just seem better. Chrome tabs still reload, and there still is a bit if home screen redraw but they are a lot quicker and overall it's just a better user experience. I've been using it for about 24 hours and at around that time is when the lag hammer hits but nothing else. Anyone else wanna try to see if I'm crazy or just hoping for the best here?

If you are toying with it by adding all kinds of software, trying experimental ROMs, hacking the registry to squeeze some additional speed out of it, adding cabs, etc...you are going to increase your chances of having problems.

Download and install one of Molski's or Faria's 2.2/2.3 roms, install only the necessities and then leave it alone.

Get a M$ powered WM5 Smartphone then. My old Typhoon ran flawlessly. Less likely to crash cause you can't fool around with it as much. Or you can get a Razr like the rest of the public. =P
