[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lamoid:
I agree that was rude. And I apologize for it. However, on 18 January, I asked after not getting any responses, "Any clues? Anyone?" I checked for a response every day after that and by the 30th was rather frustrated at not having received one. Also I had searched the board extensively and could not find anything like my problem. Clearly I did not use the correct keywords or I would have found the page you pointed me to.

I don't know if that will solve the problem because I need to try to install the upgrade again then try it. Which I will soon.

Nevertheless I do greatly appreciate you for having helped me _MetalHead_ despite the rudeness of my request.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] _MetalHead_:
No worries man, I understand how frustrating it can be, especially when the life of your cherished Nexus 7 hangs in the balance. Keep me posted if you get it worked out or not.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Spectral1991:
Like some people, I got really annoyed with the huge mouse cursor that appears when using the stylus in custom ROMs. After some tinkering, I finally found something that works.

DISCLAIMER: Try at your own risk. Bootlooping may occur, but can be easily solved by just flashing your current ROM over it. Still, make backups just in case.

Extract framework-res.apk from your current ROM (under /system/framework)

Use apktools to decompile it (this is a good tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2213985)

Edit pointer_arrow.png under /res/drawable-mdpi using either GIMP or powerpoint to whatever you want your cursor to be (make sure you keep the same dimensions. I just replaced mine with a ridiculously small dot)

Use apktools to compile it back, BUT DO NOT SIGN IT (as what the tutorial says)

Open the original and newly compiled framework-res.apk in 7zip, and copy over META-INF and androidmanifest.xml from the original to the new one

Copy the newly compiled framework-res.apk to your phone, and change permissions to rw-r-r (found that it's better to move it to your root folder before changing permissions)

Replace the existing one with the new one

Reboot

Hope this helps!

My n9005 is on the latest lollipop XXUGBNL8 firmware rooted.I am not able to purchase any apps from the galaxy app store using Alipay payment method (similar to paypal).I had already installed alipay app from the galaxy store.When I am about to purchase any app it shows I need to install alipay app and when I click install it shows the product does not exist in the store (error 4002).As I am a galaxy gear user there is no other way to purchase apps.Help please.

Couldn't you then just install the Alipay app from the Play Store here?

Gurus and Gods alike.... :)

Is it possible, for somebody to be able to extract the benefits and extra's out of the latest Telstra ROM and merge it to WM6 Rom or provide the cabs to create the extras....

Namely, more than likely:

1. Operator settings

2. Time Zone Fix

3. Unknown USB fix

4. Backlight Fix

5. Freeze Fix

6. Bluetooth Fix

Though I suspect these arent a problem for the WM6 anyway... but

I also want in particular the ability to watch Foxtel on Mobile.

Also, the new Radio is probably a bonus for those in OZ...

Jasjamming... if you are watching, I note your in Oz, perhaps this might have interest and value to your current or new 2.0 ROM.... :)

Assuming your with Telstra
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LightCCB:
Just heard that there is a lollipop Update I have the developers edition I got the phone today and I was wondering if I should root and install twrp asap? To prevent automatic updating? I haven't tinkered with roms rooting and twrp in 2 years so I am a little confused. If someone could she'd some light on what to follow I would appreciate it.

I saw droid life's root method should I follow that?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcalhoun:
You will not receive an update of any sorts from Samsung or Verizon for your Developer Edition Note 4. Samsung has never updated their Developer Edition devices...never. You most likely will not even receive a notification on your phone that there is an update available. For us Developer Edition users to update to Lollipop we're going to have to wait for a developer to take the factory image (retail firmware) and modify it so that it is safe to flash on a Developer Device without locking the bootloader. The developer will provide this update to Lollipop by means of a ROM which we can flash via TWRP.

WARNING: When the retail versions of the Note 4 does get an update to Lollipop you will start to see threads announcing that factory firmware is available. Do not flash factory firmware on your device unless the OP specifically says it has been modified for the Developer Edition and will not lock your bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LightCCB:
Thanks for clarifying

Thanks for explaining that. I also wanted to know if the cf auto root method is still ok to use from droid life link for dev edition note 4? Thanks again for your time.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcalhoun:
You're welcome. My understanding is that it is, but I don't want to guarantee it. I personally recommend using ODIN to install TWRP (custom recovery) and then flashing SuperSU for root. There is a thread with a step by step in Android Development section in this forum.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfly212:
+1 on this...I wouldn't mess with any methods other than the tried and true process listed in the dev section.

[HTC One Mini] AjanD:
** PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD **

Hey, noob with many regrets here.

My device is a HTC One Mini (M7), yesterday I tried to change the ROM. I installed the Sense 6 Framework and now my phone is bricked. I have TWRP working but when I attempt to push the old working ROM it loads for a while, then gives me 'protocol error' in cmd. I viewed the files through the TWRP file manager and saw that the /sdcard is completely empty. When I boot the phone up and try to use it normally it gets stuck on the HTC screen, at the bottom 'powered by ANDROID' with the development purposes notes in red writing over it.

edit: Managed to re-unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, can now access recovery.

edit 2: Had LOTS of problems with ADB, after lots and lots of re-tries I was able to finally push a ROM.zip over to the phone and install.

[HTC One Mini] Beats_Audio:
Hey AjanD i hope i can help u with your problem.

The first thing after unlocking your bootloader (which makes your phone S-On) is to flash a recovery.

I would suggest TWRP recovery . The think u do is go to fastboot with volume down key+power button

After u download the TWRP recovery for your Htc One you enter the following command to flash recovery

" fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (where recovery.img the name of the twrp recovery.img) .Then you should be able

to access recovery menu. Hope I helped you :D

So, I apparently already had TWRP installed as the recovery somehow of this device, so I just had to flash the SU zip from it and all is good. Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G3] vcurbel:
1- make sure that device is recognized , if not unplug it and plug it back on

2- make sure that you apply this dd command when you are on # su command
[T-Mobile LG G3] christian2399:
I did do all that correctly but still for some reason it says file cannot be found everything works until that step please help me i want my root back!
[T-Mobile LG G3] vcurbel:
Did you do the ls/temp on su # command? It will give you all files on the /temp folder. If you do not see the twrp recovery.img there.. it means that the recovery.img was not pushed into the /temp folder on step 8.

Another question? What do you mean about that you want you root back? Do you have root before? Do you a custom recovery before?IS IT TWRP? If so ...it is easy...just move the updatesupersu2.40.zip file to you sdcard and install it in your custom recovery
[T-Mobile LG G3] christian2399:
look this iswhat im getting
[T-Mobile LG G3] vcurbel:
Yea...as you can see recovery file is not in you temp folder.....you need to go back to step 8 and push it
[T-Mobile LG G3] olorin_28:
Worked for me!!

Glad I stumbled on this thread. It worked for me. I did have to move the recovery.img twice (it didn't move the first time). But I was able to check that it was not there with the ls. Thanks for this tutorial! Appreciated.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossJ:
Hey guys.

Title says it all. I have google play music and it's recording MULTIPLE nexus 6's.

To the point it locked me out of deauthorizing any devices, because I used up my 4 allowed devices (YES THIS IS STILL ACTIVE). I just talked to them - they said this is in effect and not going away.

So here's my question - how do I get it to stop adding multiple devices when it's the EXACT same device but different ROMs...

So not impressed. May leave google music.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aerichards1977:
Each time you load a ROM, your phone gets a new unique identifier. This is why you have authorized 4 devices. Either stop flashing or stop logging in. Same basic system as Apple.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossJ:
Nope. Something changed then this year. It never did this before. I have a one plus one. Every new ROM NEVER once changed when I logged in from the phone. It always read 1 device. Never showed multiple. Same with my tablet (Samsung Tab S) and my Note 4.

PLUS if this was the case - would it not add another instance of your device if say.. an update was pushed that effected the kernel of the phone or when a phone went from 4.4 to 5.0 or when you factory reset your phone?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slapshot30:
I'd like an answer to this as well, and a workaround. This could be an issue for a lot of people that use an otherwise fantastic service. Your assumption would also have to be correct... Any old user that says yes to a stock OTA update would be using up another slot when they reload Google Play Music.

Just a shot in the dark, did you restore the app+data from Titanium Backup, from Google's own sync, or start from scratch again?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msburr87:
If you restore from tb sometimes it won't register a new device, especially on 4.4.4 and earlier but with 5.0 this seems to be different. I had them reset my google music, but at this point I ended up switching to Spotify because its ridiculous that you can only register 5 mobile devices.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossJ:
Always have started from scratch. May be going to Spotify soon. I'm going to try titanium and restore android ID. Never thought it would be 5.0, but that may be the culprit as well. Even though I did install CM12 on the 1+1 and never saw this issue.

All in all, this is a pretty stupid move from google. Guess I should of seen them bending over eventually.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliott35:
In play music you can revoke the access for the false phones.

Menu>settings>devices then delete away I have deleted many nexus 6's and 10's this way.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossJ:
Yup ... So have I. Until yesterday. I could no longer revoke access, hence the reason for this post. I had to call Google and have them reset my music device count. Which you can only do once and you only get 4 device removal a year... Hence the problem.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
if you open google play music, press the left tab to go to options, press settings, press my devices, and you can deautherize any devices you want, just press the x.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossJ:
yeah - this is what I'm talking about.

It stopped me from de authorizing because I reached my 4 phone limit.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
odd. even after a bit of rom flashing, it only shows one nexus 6 for my devices.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slapshot30:
Right, but have you done it more than four times? What he's saying is that once you flash four separate ROMs and have to de-authorize each time, a limit is reached.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossJ:
Interesting, because mine WAS doing that. Not anymore tho. I had 3 nexus 6s on my device list :(

It hasn't been doing that with any phone. But because I had 3 nexus 6 devices listed I got penalized and had to wipe my entire music account.

Why can google not see its the exact same phone?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
they can see its the same phone. but your account could have produced another identifying number. i believe titanium backup can restore these identifying numbers.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossJ:
If thats the case, then why count it as a de authorization :(

And yes. I'll be using titanium backup to see if that fixes it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] everykindofpeople:
Always been that way for me...

Since my first Android device, music has created a new device with each new ROM I installed and logged in. I just go i n occasionally and deauthorize the older ones. They alert me when I can't log in another. I never had more than 3 or 4 in Nandroids anyway. Definitely nothing new there. I LOVE Google Music! Rock on!

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

The limit is 10 devices I believe.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossJ:
Things have changed. There are only 4 de authorizations allowed in a year time. So ... eventually you won't be able to de authorize anymore phones. Which means. IF new ROMs on the same phone create a new unique ID , you will not be using Google Music with your ROMs if you swap ROMs a few times a month.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonJoel:
Restoring the id with Titanium makes it not create a new device.

I've installed (clean wipe) 5+ roms on my Nexus 6, restored the id each time before opening play music, and only have one Nexus 6 on my device list.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossJ:
THIS is what i've been waiting for. And how do you do the restore process?

Just backup Settings Storage? and ONLY restore Android ID from TiBu Menu Settings?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonJoel:
For me, after I open TB after installing a new rom it says the id is changed and asks me if I want to restore it. I say yes, it reboots, I move on.

I assume it has to see your TB backup folder to do that.

Also I use the pro/paid version of TB - not sure if that matters though.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3dJuice:
This has always been a bit of an annoying issue for me whenever I flashed a new ROM. Google play music would always register a new device, requiring me to deauthorize a number of previous phones.

However since I've had my nexus 6, I've always just restored from a titanium backup and it seems to have solved the issue for now...

Since November I've probably flashed my phone around 15 times or so. I would recommend giving titanium a try.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slapshot30:
So right when you open up TB for the first time, it comes up and asks you that? Or only when you start to restore things?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonJoel:
That's a good question, I should pay more attention... I can't remember for 100% sure, sorry. It is 1 of those 2, though as those are the only 2 things I do.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossJ:
Thanks guys! I will attempt this and see how long it lasts... Still disappointed in Google on this matter. Can't believe they are doing it this way.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stumpy352:
Open titanium backup. Press menu. Go down to the your device section. Restore device ID from backup. This will only work if you backup everything via tibu (system & user app & settings) prior to flashing your new ROM. If you restore immediately after each new flash. No problemo.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slapshot30:
Do you know if you have to backup the system apps or is user apps and data good enough? Do you even restore those system apps or just do what you said about restoring the ID?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stumpy352:
Use the option to backup all user apps and system data (only because I don't know where the device ID is stored). Don't restore the apps and data, just restore the device ID. All your user apps & data are in this backup too, so you can use it to restore them as well, just be careful not to restore system data when changing ROMs.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonJoel:
I don't backup system apps or settings and my ID gets backed up. I think it always backs up the ID if you backup anything. Could be wrong though.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stumpy352:
Maybe. I don't know. That's why I suggested backing up everything.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonJoel:
Good point. No harm done other than taking up a little space.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fraser.dk:
Thanks for sharing that. It's none of Google's business how many phones or tablets you have and use. I was tempted to start using Google Music but you're describing Apple-style BS like it's 2008.

And just seconds ago I read there's a 20000 song limit on your library. Googlers must not like music.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slapshot30:
20,000 song limit for the free version... That's pretty generous in my opinion, and the paid version is there if need be. It uploads all your songs, even if it doesn't recognize them (I have a lot of electronic mash-ups it doesn't recognize). That's a lot of memory for free. Even with a conservative figure of 20,000 songs multiplied by 5mb each we're getting 100 gigs free.
