Top reasons to root (for me):

Adaway - the best ad blocking app on android.

ViPER4Android - make music sounds much better than anything else I know.

Titanium Backup - batch backup/restore apps and remove bloats at will.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sand1303:
Thats funny. I did this and still lags. No matter what u do u will have lags here and there. It makes it a lot better but u will still have a lag here and there.

How do u make other apps available in multi window after root
[Galaxy Note 4 General] adamsuail:
i know what i want so yea I would root any phone right out of the box.

-cant live without GMD gestures

-i need Titanium backup to freez some freakin apps, to backup my apps and to remove bloatware.

-block adds

-the DPI on this phone is just not right from the first look.

-use vpn and exchange app without lockscreen security.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] daffie:
Quick question. What's the best way to go about changing DPI on rooted device?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] psycovirus:
Just add to discussion,

I would say, Do not root Note 4 yet because KNOX will trigger and you'll loose Warranty.

Just wait for Lollipop 5.0 on Note 4 and see what it brings. If you're satisfied with what lollipop brings to the table (hopping less lag on TW), there's no need to root.

Maybe root after warranty is over. haha.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] adamsuail:
I bought the note 4 for my wife so she wont let me touch it as I have a history bricking phones :cowboy:

touchwiz is not custom dpi friendly so you need a custom rom like wanam's and you can use xposed to change the DPI or there is a good free app called Texdroider DPI.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] daffie:
Thanks. I am rooted and am using Wanam's custom rom as well :) I'll check out Xposed modules and the free app.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Johnmcl7:
For those wanting to change DPI without rooting, this is a useful thread:

http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/general/root-want-to-modify-dpi-t2960644

Only catch is, it's system wide and you can't change it for individual applications which is an issue as it causes problems with some of the Samsung applications (in particular the dialer, the launcher and the stock camera app). Most of that is easy enough to work around although I don't know if there's any good replacements for the camera app as I've read a few comments that it produces the best image quality.

What is the difference between SPB pocket plus 3.2 and SPB mobile shell 1.0? Does anyone recommend one over the other? Or both can be used together?

Please advise, thanks!
[General Topics] jeremymacmull:
Hi both can be used together they dont really compete with each other more like complement

this thread has more

anyway ive got both and Diary and they work very very well

[General Topics] bbobeckyj:
half off topic here but, i bought their pack of spb weather, diary, time, and pocket plus a while ago, i only use weather (no other uk freeware) and time (best software for my uses) nowadays. all spb products are very big and use ram, claunch and wm5newmenu and today agenda are much better and freeware,

back to topic, mobile shell, well i installed it, played with all the options, and eventually, i gave up trying to work out its purpose. all i could see that it does is give you a big clock image, notifications, battery and signal meters when you wake up the device (which you have to exit to do anything) it's sort of like a today screen before the real today screen, but with less info. other than that it give you the option to use your ppc with normal mobile phone style menus
[General Topics] decknologist:
I ditched shell in favour of pocket plus. The shell was too much of a memory hog. Install them (pocket plus first) and use the buzz dev Task Manager to see what I mean.

I like pocket plus with the BBC feed used in spb weather with the diary plug-in. I used to use cLaunch but prefer the flexibility of spb.

They can both be used in harmony and shell also allows you to integrate non spb today plug-ins into pocket plus (well, some). SPB shell is similar to, but not as sophisticated as, Wisbar Advance Desktop, and spb pocket plus is a launcher foremost - but you may also add to it spb weather/diary/sms/ etc. . .

I tested shell for a while but opted not to use it, but by all means give it a shot, loads of people seem to really like it.

After all, it is only my opinion.

Bought 2 refurbished Gear Live watches from Best Buy and both are User Debug builds of 4.4W1, meaning no updates for me. Anyone know how to change these to stock?
[Samsung Gear Live] ajgamer:
I am using one of these as well right now, I tried the gear live restore tool but the image its loaded wont let me connect to my phone
[Samsung Gear Live] segura.org:
So now what? I'll call Corporate tomorrow as the stores can't exchange these. I'm sure they came from Samsung as Best Buy Geek Squad shouldn't have this build.
[Samsung Gear Live] ajgamer:
Turns out I have a solution.

1. Make sure you have the android sdk tools installed and make sure you have the fast boot driver installed as well

2. put the gear live(s) in to fast boot mode (Hold side button untill watch restarts then swipe down from top left to bottom right)

3. Leave it in this mode and go in to cmd so you can use fast boot

Grab only this firmware from this page: stock KMV78Y from http://xdaforums.com/gear...sybox-t2834620

unzip those file into the directory in the android sdk tools Platform tools folder where fastboot is and run these commands without the quotes

"fastboot flash boot boot.img"

"fastboot flash system system.img"

after the cmd window says it finished go on the watch and go to recovery and select that.

on the recovery screen you will see an android on his back swipe down from the top left corner to the bottom right corner and on the menu that shows up select "wipe data/ factory reset"

it will then format the /data and /cache folders on the watch after which the menu will show up again at this point select reboot system now and that will restart the watch

and your done you can run through upgrades at this point till the newest one
[Samsung Gear Live] segura.org:
Thanks! Can you confirm the link for the right firmware, your link is DOA. Also you have done these steps and working right?
[Samsung Gear Live] segura.org:
Ok, got all the steps done, and in AW, I go to System Update. It downloads the update and after it reboots to apply the update, I get:

Verifying update package. . .

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted

Tried a Reset and then back to apply System Updates with the same result. Any clues?
[Samsung Gear Live] godgib:
You need to flash the right recovery..

I posted this to SD and I'll post it here as well. This is just my fix

Tipps1269 guide From SD was good and helpful. Thx..

The hardest part is getting the computer to recognize the watch in fastboot mode. I used a Windows 8 and 7 machines. I used the ADB universal driver from the below.

1. Download FILES from V3 from http://xdaforums.com/gear-live/development/utility-gear-live-watch-tool-t2846696 Gear live restore, I even watched the youtube video.. Good info Thx Tomsgt

You are only useing the file for ADB/Fastboot command , Universial ADB driver and the 42Nrecovery.img

Download the Stock Firmware for this watch here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23610159112653225

Now you have all the files a to unlock, and flash boot.img, recovery.img ,and sytem.img which are all stock.

Copy all the files to one Dir and CMD to that Dir.

Put you watch in fastboot mode. You Don't even need to do anything other then take it out of the Box put in fastboot mode.

Hold the Power button on the watch and keep holding it, till it reboot.

When you see the Samsung Logo, swipe from the top Left of the screen to the bottom Right.

Now your in fastboot

Run the Four fastboot commands

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery 42nrecovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img

Swipe Down and reboot,

You don't need to relock, or put in Debug mode. Just connect to you phone. You don't even need to update, once you have connected it will automatically start updating.

In Short

Install ADB drivers for fastboot

Put watch in fastboot mode

Unlock recovery

Flash three file

Reboot watch

I was in the same situation yesturday with a best buy refurb, used V3 of the gear live restore tool and couldn't connect to the phone. I tried again with V2 of the tool instead of the current V3. The older version worked like a charm first time. Give that a try. There were a few OTA's to get to 5.0.1 but I am there now
[Samsung Gear Live] Milimbar:
Worked like a charm on my 2 BestBuy units, Thank you

V2 is at http://www.rootjunky.com/backup-file-server/

you will have to select

[Samsung Gear Live] tpierce89:
Was anyone able to eat the recovery tool working on a Mac? I can't get it to recognize my watch in Windows.
[Samsung Gear Live] domol:
I was wondering the same thing at first. Download the recovery tool file and unzip it for the 42Nrecovery bundled with the tool. You don't need to use the tool. I followed godgib's instructions above.
[Samsung Gear Live] tpierce89:
Those instructions appeared to work, and now it downloads the update, but when it gets about halfway through the install, it goes to the android error image and I have to reboot.
[Samsung Gear Live] Okaham:
Is it just me or does V2 not have 42nrecovery.img inside its zip..? I had to download V3 because that was the only one that had that file. I've successfully got to Android Wear version 4.4W now, but when i try to go to System Updates, it tries to download but then tells me that "something went wrong"...any ideas?

TIA
[Samsung Gear Live] pules:
I used the instructions from post 7 and the files from post 9 to get my watch connected to my phone and auto-updated to version 5.0.1 build LWX48P.

so

Copy all the files to one Dir and CMD to that Dir.

Put you watch in fastboot mode. You Don't even need to do anything other then take it out of the Box put in fastboot mode. I was having a hard time getting into fastboot. The key is after rebooting the watch by holding down the power button, you NEED TO CONTINUE holding the power button WHILE you swipe from upper left hand side to lower right side...the motion look like this ---> \

Run the Four fastboot commands

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot flash boot

78Y

boot.img

fastboot flash recovery

78Y

recovery.img

fastboot flash system

78Y

system.img

Thank you godgib for the instructions and thank you Tomsgt for the recovery files
[Samsung Gear Live] Stryder5:
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. Managed to use V2 to put on a stock image, which then allowed my watch to update to the latest OTA.
[Samsung Gear Live] pmgreen:
Is there a risk doing this? I do not recall reading in the BB description that this was the different version than the "stock"
[Samsung Gear Live] samevo8:
Bluetooth problems?

Has anyone had trouble with bluetooth on their Samsung Gear Live after going back to stock? I did both the automated V3 method and the manual fastboot methods and when the watch reboots, the phone cannot detect the watch via Bluetooth.

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

Nevermind, I figured out that I can't use the files in V3. I have to use the three *.img files from V2 (i.e. 4.4W).

PRoblems getting ADB to detect gear live

Could somebody kindly hand hold me through this. I cant seem to get universalADB to detect the Gear live.

Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling and rebooting over and over again. Tried on a xp box and a win 8.1 laptop, still no joy!

What am i doing wrong?

The gear live shows up in device manager but when i try to force associate the driver (winusb), it says wrong device type.

I want to upgrade to lolipop but cant to squat until i get rid of the debug4.4 that came with the watch.

asmd.
[Samsung Gear Live] Jbabsw:
this process took me 3 solid days of attempting to get this to work

don't give up restarting systems and all is a pain cause it's all so confusing for those of us who are new but I did eventually get it all to work fine and my watch is working nicely but I had to manually install all drivers at each state of the watch ( fast boot and booted) there is videos on you tube that show each individual part to help you u just have to keep trying
[Samsung Gear Live] asmd6230:
It wont even ask me for RSA when i plug it in... theres something wrong right at the start...

I cant get the watch to be detected by ADB.
[Samsung Gear Live] Jbabsw:
I had the same problem

I don't even know what fixed it I just kept installing different adb s from all over probably 3 or 4 of them then suddenly I had a response from my cmd
[Samsung Gear Live] asmd6230:
Could ya'll tell me which adb driver id yall use. Cos i looked into the ones linked above and it should never have worked as there is no mention of a device ID for the Gear live.

I did this -

"On Win 7, the way I found is to make a copy of "...\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver" on desktop or elsewhere, then edit file "android_winusb.inf" to add Gear Live description :

First open Device Manager and right click "Gear Live" in "Other devices" and choose Properties. In "Details" folder, choose "material identification numbers" and copy the second one (My os is in french, so i try to translate names correctly...). The number to copy must look like (or be): "USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002"

Then edit "android_winusb.inf" (the one in the folder previously copied, in case of...) and add under "[Google.NTx86]", at the end, these lines :

;Gear Live

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002&MI_01

Be careful to change "USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002" with your material number if needed (but let "&MI_01" on second line.

Make the same under [Google.NTamd64].

Now you can go back to "device manager", right click on "Gear Live", choose "Update driver software" then "Browse my computer..." and choose the folder where you just edit "android_winusb.inf"."

which allowed it to install the drivers to connect to the watch in the OS but it wont recognize it in fastboot.

Clearly theres some entries missing.

Just need to know which adb installer yall used that has the entries for Gear live.
[Samsung Gear Live] asmd6230:
Got it working, for those who are stuck like me, follow this tutorial to fix it., Worked on win7 but not on XP Pro.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmx36:
Anyone have a fix for this? On Verizon and after almost 4 weeks I have lost my cellular service and data. I noticed when I went to check up on my phone right now that it was finishing a boot-up screen and then never had any bars at the top. Dug deeper and found no service at all. Wiped dalvik and cache and seemed to be bars for under a second and then gone. I am on sensei kernel and am thinking about doing a factory reset and reverting to stock kernel. But I really don't want to lose the benefits it came with.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markwebb:
Well, this is odd. After a month of perfect service, I suddenly cannot get LTE, only 3G. Even nandroids of prior ROM's will not boot into LTE. Is VZW LTE down or should I do a total clean reformat? i do have factory images and everything is backed up. Just a pain.

Very strange. I was flashing various ROM's (CM 12 based - am testing for someone) and at one point pulled out SIM and replaced it. I checked to make sure it is seated right since then. Again, no longer get LTE.:(

Was on Sensei kernel as well. Let me try flashing stock kernel from ROM first. EDIT: NOPE! Flashing the stock kernel from the ROM did not do it. Looks like total reformat/flash is next!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lohonda:
I just got my Nexus 6 and I am also on Verizon and had the cell coverage drop too. I backed up my apps with titanium backup and did a factory reset and signal came back. I only had it for a day and went to Canada and on my way back to the US I noticed the cell bars were gone. I was just rooted and boot loader unlocked and otherwise stock. I read online that others had this issue when they got to places in the US that had little or no signal. I also noticed that under cellular network settings it loads up with Global under the preferred network type even though it has an option for "LTE (recommended)" and if you choose LTE, global is never an option again until you do a factory reset and it loads with it pre selected. With global selected it works perfectly with calls and LTE, so not sure what that means or if my selecting LTE made it drop the signal after going back from Canada.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markwebb:
Yep, total flash of factory image fixed it. Sigh. Early enough in the day for me to get everything set up again.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmx36:
Same. About to do it too... I've done too many factory resets with this already. Kind of annoying.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boynamedstacy:
I am in the same boat. Had no problems until I flashed bliss 1.5 then was stuck on 3g. Tried a clean flash of Slim and still stuck on 3g. I will try a stock rom but I am not very hopeful at this point. It's looking a like a reformat here as well :/
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boynamedstacy:
Ended up having to format everything and start from scratch again. I'm running a stock ROM now and in weary to try another cm ROM

Don't know if it'll help, but try LTE Discovery app in the Play Store. I use it from time to time to reset my data connection.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoeDaddy:
Having the same issue, running CM12 daily, have been for a week or so. Midday today it drops LTE, 3g data was working, then a few minutes later to no data. I didn't change anything, nothing new installed. I did reboot the phone at some point before this but that is all...

My only fix was to backup via trwp, restore stock rom, factory reset, reboot & let sim activate, then restore cm12 via twrp... it's a 20-30 min fix all said and done.... pita

Maybe its something Verizon is doing, because I didn't change anything and then next thing you know no data. I hope it's a simple fix for CM12 but I see this popping up more the last few days. Hopefully someone will figure it out. I like CM and prefer it over stock but I am not going to do this multiple times a day just to keep CM...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larzzzz82:
I just checked and global is still an option for me. I've bounced back and forth, looking to see if anything changes..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmh714:
Same thing has happened to me last night, lost connection to VZW cell and data. Looking at the field test menus, it seems like the SIM/device understand GSM but NOT CDMA anymore. So I believe the issue has something to do with that. Tried everything, but will nuke and repave most likely....also lost Global as well. and LTE Discovery shows GSM stuff nothing for CDMA

Tried the SIM in another device and it works so its not the SIM.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmh714:
OK I tried a world of things to recover like some of you may have....its something in Userdata because if I flash everything but userdata it wont work. I am going to try and recover from the backup I had before this happened to see if that works....otherwise rebuild from scratch

will post back

UPDATE: So restoring a backup seems to be ok once you get the SIM back.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anon1ski:
Having the same issue over here as well... After a month or AI of having the 6, now I randomly drop service where I would normally have full LTE. I almost NEVER get LTE now and am at most on H with a couple bars then it drops out again. Have also.noticed WiFi connection is very shakey.

Any one find a fix?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3g0d:
I had an issue where i couldnt get my phone to connect any network. Took me long rime to realise, that entering my PIN-number too fast caused the issue xD it unlocked the sim, but didnt let me connect any network... Dunno if this helps anyone, but definetly the most cryptic issue I've ever had.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quidpro:
Troubleshooting my wife's N6 here. Your PIN issue doesn't make sense to me because the phone should be connected to the carrier when locked. Are you talking about WiFi? Because that should be connected too when locked unless settings have been changed from their default (ie, turn off wifi when locked/asleep or something)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3g0d:
I'm talking when you turn on your phone and it asks for pin number to unlock your sim. Some how it seems that if you enter your pin too fast, it bugs the phones radio somehow and you can't connect to your carrier o.O but if you wait like 5sec before entering the pin, it connects to the carrier and the (!) Mark goes away. Try rebooting the phone and see if it helps? Even I think its a weird issue :D

Edit: OK, just pinpointed MY issue. I have to wait for the "no service" text to change into "emergency calls only" before entering my pin or I don't have any service just the exclamation mark :/
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quidpro:
Thanks. I told her about it and she will give it a try, or just remove the pin altogether as a test. It is a weird issue. She is missing important calls from her elderly parents at night and it is rather frustrating. Turning wifi off also seems like a bad fix.
