This is a guide on how to install an app using terminal emulator on a rooted device.

First make sure you have terminal emulator installed and root with su

Open terminal emulator and type in

cd sdcard

Press enter

Then type

Ls make sure the L is in lowercase

This will display the entire sd card contents

Then type cd "folder name" I.e Bluetooth or download so it will look like this

cd bluetooth

Press enter

Again type

Ls with a lower case L

Again you get a list of what's in the folder

Then type

su

Press enter

Then type this line

pm install "app name.apk"

So it would read like this in terminal emulator

pm install "root browser.apk"

You should get a message stating pkg name installing

Success

Exit terminal emulator and open your app drawer and search for the app you just install and open it

Congratulations on using command prompt with terminal emulator to install an app
[Xperia Play General] darkharbinger81:
I will be posting pics later for a visual walkthrough

If an app won't install try to rename the app to something smaller if you need to like if root browser app is named "root browser-233.apk" for instance just rename it to "root browser.apk" and then run the

pm install "root browser.apk" Command line in terminal emulator

It should successfully install some times an apps name is to long so it's invalid (I'm not positive on the exact error message offhand)

Hope this helps if you flash a ROM and don't have WiFi and need and app installed but only have terminal emulator like some aokp aosp and cm Roms do

Hello,

This is probably the first time I noticed this, but .. When I go to Settings > Accounts > Google > [My Email].. at the near bottom I see Google+ Photos listed, followed by Google+ Uploads.

Aren't these two the same thing?

Should I have these checked?

I just unchecked sync for Picasa web albums as well.. Don't know if that's good or bad, as I thought the sync would use up lots of space. Unless I can choose which albums to sync and which to not.

Does anyone have any insight on this?
[XDA Assist] It_ler:
I think that Google+ photos are only the photos/image files in your Google+ account. And Google+ uploads are all the other files, which you have uploaded into your Google+ account.

But I'm not sure.

There are some threads about those sync options:

1. New Google account sync options?

2. Google Talk and Google Sync Settings (don#t use the files, as they are for a special device)

3.	[Q] What are these new sync options?

If you have further questions, please ask in the General discussion > Questions and Answers forum.

BTW, I have also disabled those sync options to save space and battery power.
[XDA Assist] AMKhatri:
Ohh.. I'll keep it disable then..

Apologies for posting in the wrong section.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsunn:
Hello All,

I am going to be selling my 32GB Midnight Blue Nexus 6. I have it unlocked and decrypted.

The phone is still unrooted. I used NRT to unlock my phone and flash the decrypted image.

If I do a factory reset, will the phone encrypt itself? Can I simply do an adb oem lock command or use NRT to relock the bootloader?

Is there anything else I needed to do to return it to 100% stock condition?

Thanks guys!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Land Master:
You will want to flash the factory image as the decrypted image has no force encryption baked in. Once that is done then relock to bootloader.

OK, I'm a little confused, how to flash the factory image. I have the orgional 5.0.1 file (shamu-lrx22c-factory-ff173fc6.tgz) from google.

Just use Wug's toolkit to flash stock.

That GUI makes everything easier. Lol. Probably would be better off doing it with the toolkit than having a bigger problem on your hands if you mess something up trying to flash manually. :p

I prefer NOT to use toolkits but to each their own. If you learn how to do it the "long" way you will be better equipped to fix something if the toolkit does ever fail you. I recommend following the steps in the following thread:

If you can possible let us know if the "oem lock" works for you. When I did it, I could not get the N6 to boot up, I kept getting boot-loops. No matter what I tried. I finally left it unlocked. Also, when you re-lock it, it shows a status of 2, which means it was unlocked once, I'm sure its not a big deal, but if anyone knows a way to change it to just locked, please let us know. Good Luck.

[General Topics] valkster:
Don't know how much of this works or on which cell services but I thought it was interesting.

THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO.

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST: Emergency

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile;

network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

SECOND: Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you

lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell

phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the

unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock.

Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if

you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).

Editor's Note: It works fine!

We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!"

THIRD: Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370# and your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time.

FOURTH: How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 # A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone gets stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

And Finally....

FIFTH:

Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.

[General Topics] AlanJC:
For the second tip, this also works for me, but I have to be hitting the window with the phone at the same time repeatedly, and very hard, but eventually it gets me into the car.

For the third, I think it's actually *48554253# but it only works on T9 phones while writing a message.

I tried to custom install custom rom on my samsung galaxy S III (ATT). After several unsuccessful attempts, my phone is stuck in soft brick mode (shows Samsung Galaxy after reboot and get stuck there).

I installed custom recover mode apps (CWM, TWRP). I am unable to install custom ROMs using these apps in recover mode. I get NAND write error failed and also "No OS installed error"

When I put the phone in Download mode, the device shows the following.

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747

Current Binary: Custom

System Status: Custom

Qualcomm Secure boot: ENABLE

Warranty Bit: 1

BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 3

I am guessing Samsung is blocking custom installs. I am unable to recover the phone to samsung custom rom since I don't have recovery code from Samsung Kies. i can't get back to stock rom as there is no OS installed.

Can you suggest some ideas on how to get past the soft brick ?

i used to love miui for my I9500

but lately its causing me hell

i dont which update started it but my BT isnt working at all, once i switch it on and try to connect to any device its crashing

my cell signal goes kaput for a minute and then comes back, and it cycles all over again

same thing happens when i try to use wifi hotspot

i get crashes when watching youtube videos sometimes

i tried starting all over again, flashed a stock rom and then miui after wiping everything of course

and still after a fresh install it happens again

what am i doing wrong ?

maybe its my kernel ?

the only thing thats conssistent is after i flash a stock rom, i flash cwm recovery, does it comes with a kernel that could be not compatible with miui ?

is there a recommended kernel that should work better ?

Yes, Somehow it is not stable yet maybe. My I9500 with the latest MIUI 5 4.12.5 suffer a few problem, but BT is ok, hotspot ok too. when turning on hotspot it will force close, but the hotspot is turn on e few seconds later.

the main problem is when I flash Gapps. the phone get freeze and restarted.

I tryed another release but the same problem still happen with Gapps. without GApps the phone works properly.

[ MODDS. PLEASE REMOVE THREAD. As i have moved it to the help section.] http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/help/help-restoring-to-factory-t2981172

Hey guys,

I have an hdx 8.9 running on 14.3.1.0 with safe strap on it, and there was changes made to the build.prop. This was done about a year ago, to get google play working. When i did this the method at the time, had limitations to it. Some of the amazon services were disabled. So i considered this a fair trade off to get Gapps on it.

However, I was wanting to get the device back to original state. So i attempted a factory reset. Which resulted in undesired results. The HOME SCREEN and back button are non existent. along with a few other random erros. AFTER FACTORY RESET I ATTEMPTED A SYSTEM UPDATE WHICH FAILED

So here is my question. How do i get this device back to its original state? I really didnt want to continue futher down this rabbit hole, as to avoid doing more harm than good, before asking you guys this question.

ideally it would be nice to have this back to normal, and re-root to get gapps working WITH all of amazons services As well, but If that cant happen i am wanting a original functioning device.

Thanks for your help/advice

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I'd stick with the Ireland version just to keep things simple, though in reality you can install any version as your phone is unlocked. The unbranded firmwares such as the UK Black Edition (CSC BTU) available on Sammobile have multiple CSCs within them, and installing one doesn't necessarily mean you'll get the CSC you expect. For example, I installed the unbranded UK Black Ediiton firmware mentioned and instead of the CSC code of BTU, I got AUT, which is Switzerland. As a result, when the phone started up the first time after installing, I received three Swiss-only apps (foodarena.ch, local.ch, and parku) added to my app drawer. All three are useless to me here in the US, so they were easily uninstalled, as they were not system apps.

There were some other issues with it, and the seller said that the flex cable may have been damaged. The other curiosities with it include having a yellow-ish tint with a dark holo when the background is supposed to be black, but at other times, it has no problems producing actual black (see second photo)

However, at the core, I just want to know, is it possible that a screen's pixel density becomes lower because of damage to the flex cable? Seller says I may not be eligible for a refund if it is damaged, but I don't know if I got a good screen in the first place.
