[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eric-volt:
I want to use encryption with a long password at boot but retain the easy pattern unlock while phone is in use. I found a simple way to do this elsewhere online but can't post the link because I don't have enough posts to do so, but it boils down to using these commands at the terminal:

user@laptop # adb root
user@laptop # adb shell
root@phone:/ #
root@phone:/ # /system/bin/vdc cryptfs enablecrypto inplace PASSWORD

However, stock Android 4 is what's being used in this guide and I can't find any info about whether this works the same in later Android versions. I want to accomplish this task with the official CM12 on my Nexus 5. Does anyone know if it works before I accidentally get stuck with a really long screen unlock?

Thanks!

Hey guys

Since the CM12 builds are started to become usable as daily drivers, I just couldnt resist jumping aboard.

Lollipop is truly beautiful with vivid colors and light interface, so I decided to search for some great looking wallpapers.

Just wanted to share these, 'cause they just look stunning on the Z3 (my personal opinion :D)

Give them a try and share your opinion - more is coming if you like what you see.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azalsup:
Hello

After in ulocked my nexus 4 bootloader i discovered that the data partition was wiped during the process. Because i forgot to save my photos i'm curently trying to recover thoses using apropriate tools.

So i made a backup of the data partition of my nexus 4 using "dd" (adb shell 'stty raw && dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23' > ~/userdata.img)

I got the entire partition image and i tried data recovery tools as :

- foremost

- photorec

- magicrescue

unfortunately i did not found any deleted pictures or any usefull document and i dont realy understand why.

Thoses tools usualy find jpg images from formated gard drives or sd card and i already used theme in the past.

Can any one explain if the unlocking process wipes the data partition by overwriting the entire partition or anything like that ?

Sory for my lousy english
[Sony Xperia E3] 123Frankieee:
Hi guys in this thread I want to show you how to get Lollipop interface on your xperia e3 4.4.2 :) like in the image below View attachment 3128501

This is what you need:

- Rooted device

- Go browser and install xposed framework

- from xposed find and download GravityBox[KK]

Once you get GravityBox you can change icons on navigation bar and status bar :

- Go to navigation bar tweaks and enable Lollipop icons (requires reboot)

- Go to status bar tweaks > signal cluster settings and enable Lollipop icons (requires reboot)

- status bar tweaks > battery settings > battery indicator style and choose circle battery with percentage

- status bar tweaks > clock settings > enable center clock

This what I've done to make my D2203 look more like Lollipop :)

For the launcher I'm using Nova with Iride ui icon package

Hope helped somehow :)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hello, everyone.

So, about an week ago, I posted a thread to ask for your help regarding my broken N6. Since then, nothing has changed(but got worse, I guess...?). Here is what is happening with my N6 right now.

1) It powers up(thank god) but goes straight to the boot-loader screen(I believe this means that my device doesn't have system image file within the device)

2) On boot-loader menu(Start, Restart bootloader, Recovery mode, Power off, Factory, Barcodes, BP Tools, QCOM, Bootlaoder logs), only few are working(Restart bootlodaer, Power off, Barcodes). When I try to perform other than these, it just goes back to main boot-loader screen.

3) I tried to use both Nexus Root Tool kit and manual installation of each image but doesn't work for both of them(From this, I believe that my phone is just BROKEN)

With this happening, conclusion that I can think of is

1) There is no 'Recovery' available in my device(that's why I can't do anything to recover my device)

2) ADB is not functioning.

Only solution that I can think of from this point is that contact Motorola and replace my device(which is what I am currently doing but Motorola has huge problem with their customer service that I am waiting for their answer for about 2 weeks now)

If possible, would there other options that I can repair this device by myself?

I appreciate your attention.

Sincerely.

Adb has no impact on bootloader. What do you mean doesn't work when you fastboot the factory image?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
your problem is the use of toolkits. stay away from them, unless you know what you are doing!

your phone doesnt have any rom on it. you can.. 1. flash the factory img via fastboot, like you are supposed to do(not via a toolkit), or 2. unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery then while in the custom recovery adb push a rom, gapps, and supersu and flash them that way. what you did does not give you the right for a trade in.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaisanNYC:
The two previous posters are correct. You just need to fastboot flash the factory rom and factory recovery. It is fairly simple, if you take the time to read how to do it. There are posts all over XDA for beginners on how to do this. And I cannot stress how correct [MENTION=1811927]simms22[/MENTION] is. Toolkits may seem to make things easy, but when there is a problem, you need to know how to manually fix it. I just personally stay away from toolkits. And I was in your shoes. I didn't know jack about flashing roms and such. Just reading XDA got me to where I am. (and i am still learning!)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawmail:
Like the others have pointed out, you are fine. You have access to your bootloader screen, this is a Nexus. Take a deep breath. Take some time and read this site about flashing a factory image. Please do it the best way - manually with fastboot commands. If you get stuck come back here and someone will help. It really is easy. Please repeat after me "I will avoid all toolkits from now one".

RIP. What did you do to your N6?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawmail:
OP how did you install your fastboot. I would assume you did it from within a toolkit. That is probably your problem. If that is the case, please do this. Go here and install the .exe: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other

It's big I know it but just do it please.

Make sure everything (SDK) gets installed in a folder path like c:\android or something you will easily remember. This is very important because it is within this folder you will place the extracted factory image files (.img). Place all full unzipped .img files in this folder.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jez9999:
I'm just installing the official CyanogenMod 12 nightly ROM to my D855 now and I have just bought a 128GB SD card. I don't want it to go to waste, so one of the things I'd like to do is install apps to the SD card by default if possible (I know some apps have a manifest file that prevents this). Is there some setting in CM12 that lets me install apps to the SD card by default? Or is there any reason I should not do this? I have seen it written that you shouldn't always try to put apps on the SD card, but I don't see why not.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielvago:
It started with my phone on 4.4 and I couldn't update OTA to 4.4.2, it would fail every time, even though I'm completely stock.

I lived with that for a long time, but then my GPS would act up and not work correctly or be slow, and my auto-rotate would not work.

A reboot would fix this, but it was very annoying.

Then I RMA'ed it and they changed my motherboard (all the stuff inside) which gave me a new IMEI numer.

It worked, the next OTA got installed fine, and I'm on 4.4.4 now.

As I'm writing this now, I've just gotten the 5.0.1 OTA, which might solve this problem, I don't know.

Anyway, the problem now is, that every 10-15 minutes my mobile and phone network will shut down for about 10 seconds, with no bars at all.

I've checked the battery stats (see picture), and it looks like it only does it when the signal is on the green, but not when it's on the yellowish color.

What does those colors mean?

Does anyone have any knowledge about this, is it software, hardware, should I RMA it again?

just full black screen and when i connect it to pc it shows unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed)

can somebody help me step by step please?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niscandia:
Info needed

First off, you did a couple o things.... Might want to expand a little bit about what you did.

The more detail you give, the better chance someone can help.

So to begin with, what was the things that you did? And as I said details help, the more detailed you are the better.

Second, you connect it to a pc..... details. Can always assume that you are using a Windows machine, but assuming does very bad things in the long run.

What type of PC are you connecting it to?

What version of the software is that system running (if windows, Win98, WinXp, Win7, Win8, etc). Have you installed the ADB drivers if on windows?

Was your LG G2 recognized by ADB before all of this happened?

As for the boot up, do you see the LG logo?

Can you reboot your phone?

When you reboot your phone, do you see any error messages?

You also should include some info about the phone.

I believe your model number is: VS980

But you should include a little bit more about the phone if you know it such as, even say if it was stock as that gives a starting point:

Kernel

Rom

Modem (Verizon has 4 different ones)

All of that is the basics if you have any hope of finding someone who can help you.

Okay i'll explain in all the details which i can remember:

first, i was running custom firmware (optimus g3 latest version) then i wanted to flaahbit again to add some stuff but i wasnt concentrated so i've selected a different model which is the international model

It flashed normally but when its done and reboots, it showed lg logo

Then fastboot mode It used to go to the download mode but didnt flash stock or anything. I did some commqnd on fastboot to add recovert.img stuff but after that it was reboting showing lg logo then shows small written stuff and goes to screen and showing 10000's partitions. So i did that ubunto method for tz aboot and those stuff and it didnt work but i did it 100% right. Then i did download more things and did the same way for them. Like boot and modem and stuff but i think the phone was disconnected and now it shows black screen i cant even recognize if its on or off and no matter what i press it doesnt show any logos or smthn but it connect to windows and shows usb device not recognized.

A review for the following products:

Tenergy AC Wall Fast Charger with Qualcomm® Quick Charge™ 2.0 technology

Powermod Quick Charge 2.0 Certified D/C In-Vehicle Car USB Charger

Both chargers are as fast as advertised over my stock HTC A/C charger that came with the phone and my Rockfish car charger I've been using since my HTC Vivid days.

They both came in nice retail packaging and the Powermod car charger comes with a nice (but short) USB cable. The Tenergy wall charger has an LED on it and it is blue when an non QC 2.0 device is plugged in and turns green when a QC 2.0 compliant device is plugged in. Unfortunately the car charger doesn't have this feature. It has a blue light that rings the device but only indicates that it has power. It doesn't change color when a QC 2.0 compliant device is plugged in.

I have found that both of these chargers will not charge my Asus Transformer TF201. I find this strange because I've used other USB style wall chargers with my Asus data cable (the transformer has a proprietary changing port connector) that worked just fine. Still doing research on that one but I'll not be using these to charge my tablet. I just wanted to point this out as some of these QC manufactures say they are backwards compatible with most devices. YMMV.

I've been using both for about 3 weeks and am very happy with the performance of both units.

Below is data from a series of comparison tests to show how much faster the Qualcomm QC 2.0 chargers are over stock type chargers. The data in the HTC vs. Tenergy charger is an average of 4 charges per device. The HTC vs. Tenergy temperature comparison chart is through one full charge cycle from below 20% to 100%. As you can see the QC 2.0 does charge at a higher temperature. I also took the temperature while charging on QC 2.0 with my DotView case on and at 50% the temperature on the back of the case was 91.4 F. I have taken my phone temperature after heavy gaming and the back has actually gotten hotter just playing games than at any time during the charging cycle with QC2.0. I used a IR handheld thermogun we use at work.

The Powermod and Rockfish data is from my commute to and from work that is on average 30 minutes. There are 4 charge cycles for each devise over a 30 minute period.

Conclusion:

The performance of both units is great compared to stock. Since I can already get a full day worth of battery with between 15 and 20% left after a typical day both these chargers just make life easier. If you have to go somewhere but still have 30 minutes before you leave you can "top off" your battery before leaving if you are low. Example, you realize you have less than 10% battery but have some time before you have to leave. Plug you QC 2.0 charger in and get to at least 50% in that time. I feel much better walking out the door with 50% than 10%. With the car charger you can keep your battery "topped off" between destinations. Time will tell on the longevity of the phone battery and the chargers themselves.

I hope you've found this helpful.

I recommend both of these units.:good:
