I just picked up one of these, and I can't get it to work. Do I have to be rooted for it to work? The phone sees the controller in keyboard mode, but when I switch to gamepad setting bluetooth turns off.

BT controller for S6 Edge and (latest) Gear VR?

I have S6 Edge with Gear VR. Most of the answers on this thread are for Note 4. Anyone have a good solution known to work with S6 Edge and (latest) Gear VR?
[Samsung Gear VR] Sublim3_Tilt:
I have an S6 Edge and the latest Gear VR. I have rooted my S6 Edge and paired a PS3 controller using SixAxis. I have some functionality but it feels like its missing something. The biggest thing is that the buttons on the right side of the controller (cross, circle, triangle and square) dont seem to work. I can re-map the buttons but not sure what works best.

Can anyone else using a PS3 controller give some insight on what they had to do to use this correctly?

Flight sim controller newbie question

Just ordered my Gear VR for the Note 4. Is there anyway to connect a flight stick to the system?
[Samsung Gear VR] ProntoJr:
Just ordered Moga
[Samsung Gear VR] NamelessFragger:
I wondered the same thing myself, but without any sort of USB OTG passthrough, don't count on it.

The only way I can think of is if someone's willing to engineer a USB HID joystick Bluetooth adapter of a sort. I know at least half of it's possible because there are USB joystick "decoders" often used for making modern USB arcade sticks connect to JAMMA arcade boards, but the real trick will be to take the raw input and pass it back off as a Bluetooth HID controller.

Well, there's one more way, and that involves padhacking a Bluetooth controller for the PCB, rewiring its internals to a full-size flight stick. That's not exactly for the faint of heart, and it'd be considerably less versatile than devising a USB -> Bluetooth controller adapter of some kind in that the latter would allow me to just plug in any plug-and-play USB flight stick I have lying around. (Some of which cost hundreds of dollars, real enthusiast stuff here.)

[Samsung Gear VR] cyphercolt:
I'm loving the Steelseries Stratus XL, a bit pricey but the controller feels great. A bit heavy set, the buttons are solid too. It's the shape of an Xbox One controller with the layout of a Dualshock. Only downside is you need AA batteries (I have many rechargeable batteries at home so it doesn't bother me too much)

hi every one, i did a lil rom port, the slimbean 4.1.2 for L5 that i posted, and the rom is awesome if you like 4.1.2 roms. I use it for my every day phone.

But i ran in to a lil problem. The rom is fully working, and only has one bug.

Camcorder cant record video.

At first it freezes when you start recording.

but then i added

debug.camcorder.disablemeta=1

To build.prop and the camcorder started to record video but all videos had a green screen. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Anyway the device lock be mapped to a soft key instead of a hard key? I have it mapped to the messaging button, but would rather have it at the calendar or contacts button.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] calouro:
A little program called WM5NewMenu should do it. It's free, just put it into a google search.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hotdog53:
Thx, but all this did was to let me rename the word "calendar" to "device lock", with the actual calendar program still assigned to the left softkey.

I'm trying to get some directions for the program, from doing a little research on google it looks like you can reassign the button with that program, just have to figure out how. I'll look for some direction on the program.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] calouro:
Ok, I figured it out.

Goto WM5newmenu, under "launch by:" select "Left Softkey" Then under "Soft Key Label:" enter your label (ie. "Lock")

Then goto the "items" tab. select "new" then select the little box next to "parameters:" select "windows" then ""go into" at the bottom.

Scroll over to "BSDeviceLock.exe" then hit "select"

Then enter "lock" or whatever you want under "item label:"

You will see the new entry on the left side of the screen, you may have to scroll down a little. You can uncheck all of the other items and just leave the new "Lock" item you created. After that select ok and do a soft reset.

After it resets, hit your left sofkey, you will see your newly created lock pop up. Then just hit the center button on the pad! It locks!! I just did this and it works!!

Hope this helps,
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] calouro:
Just found this, it's even better then WM5newmenu:

Reassign left softkey on Today screen to open Notes application

Use Total Command to navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2

Change the “Default” key to the name that you want to appear on the button (in my case Notes)

Change the “Open” value to the location of the program you want to open (in my case “Windows/Notes.exe” ( you would enter “Windows/BSdevicelock.exe”)

Perform a soft reset

Look in your windows folder to see if you have BSdevicelock.exe if you don't let me know and i'll get it to you.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hotdog53:
I did the registry edit, and when I tap the left soft key, I get "the file device lock cannot be opened due to an untrusted certificate, or one of its components is missing." I could NOT find BSdevicelock.exe in the Windows folder. Where in windows should this file be located?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] foxtrickle:
I would like that BSdevicelock as well, if I could.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] calouro:
Its in the root windows folder, you probably don't have it.

I'll attach it as soon as I get home from work tonight!

Just copy it into your windows directory.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] calouro:
BSDevicelock

Just unzip this and place it in your windows folder with the registry change.

Hope this helps!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hotdog53:
Got it good buddy! I kept the other items in WM5NewMenu and labeled the softkey "Menu", and changed BSdevicelock in the label box to Device Lock. Now all I do is hit the new softkey "Menu", scroll to device lock, hit the center button on the D pad. Device locks like you said it would! I was able to do this after extracting the BSdevicelock.zip to my Windows folder. Excellent instructions! Thx a MILL! If you discover anything else that's appealing, let me in on it..o.k.? Just found out I could move Device Lock to the top. Now I don't have to scroll down.

The app im talking about is called devicelock.exe on my device. I have an HTC Wizard
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] calouro:
I did not have devicelock.exe in my windows folder originally. BSdevicelock is just a little program that simply locks the device. I don't have devicelock.exe, but I imagine they probably do the same thing. I think BSdevicelock is actually installed by the BatteryStatus program. If you have a later version of Battery Status, you should have BSdevicelock.

hey guys, in serious need of assistance here.

I got a screen/fascia from ebay for my XT926, its like the whole assembly.

After replacement, the screen doesn't turn on, the phone physically works.

I plugged the phone into my TV using the hdmi cable and its on and running and the digitizer responds, i can use the phone. but the screen does not come on.

I've reinstalled the oem screen, and nothing, the reason for replacement was the glass is trashed but it worked.

****full disclosure=My roommate did the actual swap, while i was at work. I was gonna do it but he decided to try it himself. He had trouble with the little black tab that holds the ribbon cable in popped out, and he couldn't get it back in. I got it in when i got home, and locked down. he said he tried turning it on with out that tab in, and had the same result as i did, the led flashed, and it sounded like it turned on, he said.

Hey guys, i'm having some SERIOUS problems with my 1st generation moto g XT1033.

Some days ago, i flashed stock android 5.0. Alright... So, i discovered that that were cm12 nightlies on the official cyanogenmod site and i flashed it. So, just after that i discovered that dual sim wasn't ported yet so i tried to change to stock 5.0, but my phone entered in a boot loop so i flashed stock 4.4.4, with no luck... now i flashed 5.0 but it's still not booting, i am now thinking about going back to CM12, which already have dual sim... the problem is that i dont know why, TWRP MTP isn't working, so now i just cant pass the CM12 zip to the phone because of that. please i need help i dont know what to do, if there's some way to flashing it without using TWRP's MTP. Thanks a lot and sorry about the english :P
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyguy126:
Bad idea, never try to downgrade... If you can still access fastboot you are VERY luck that your phone did not end up in a hard brick. :fingers-crossed:

Try and flash stock 5.0 from fastboot mode. And wipe everything including userdata.

Goodluck!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedrocarboni:
Thanks for Helping!!! Just one question: How can i pass the stock zip to the phone to flash it if mtp is not working?Any suggestions? Because i think its not possible to flash 5.0 using fastboot, just on the stock recovery :confused:

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyguy126:
If you have unlocked boot loader then go into fastboot mode and run "fastboot boot customrecovery.img" where customrecovery.img is CWM or TWRP. I recomment TWRP. From there you can adb sideload the zip. Only flash it if you know exactly what you are doing or you may end up in a hard brick.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedrocarboni:
i used sideload flashing CM12,but i have recieved the error message "could not detect filesystem for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system, assuming ext4 mount:failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/byname/system: Invalid Argument

unmount of /system failed; no such volume detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system" and when i try mounting /system, CWM says Error mounting /system!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyguy126:
Do this at your own risk:

Your system partition is corrupt, you need to enter adb shell and format /system into ext4s. Search on google for the command as I do not have it on the top of my head. I believe it has something to do with make_ext4s function.

Pedro, I have the same problem.

I can only access bootloader and recovery, but using adb sideload I can't flash any image (and version) that works.

Moto G not Booting, HELP

Hi everyone, I really need help with my moto G, it´s not booting into android after pressing the power button the moto logo comes up and the phone goes directly into fastboot displaying a message in pink color: version downgrade for boot

Failed to validate boot image.

I have been hours checking around for a solution and working now for the third day trying to solve the problem with no luck.

I have downloaded the original firmware for the device, tried to flash it and it doesn´t work, tried other countries firmware and they doesn´t work either.

The process will be partially ok but as it goes to flash the boot.img, recovery and system files it will give an error.

I also tried bootloader refresh, bootloader bricker and blankflash to try fix any possible bootloader issues.

The device has a locked bootloader since it is a moto g from AIO.

Please Help, It´s my only device and I cannot afford another one at this time.

There´s a few images from the flash process and device info

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nacos:
Do you have installed any XPosed module that can handle the visibility of the NFC icon (i.e. Wanam)? I've had problems in the past with other phones when the NFC icon would be "permanently" disabled/hidden if you tried to hide it once. Sometimes, even after trying to disable this feature towards reverting to the original condition, the NFC icon still won't show. If that's the case, you should uninstall the XPosed module that caused this, re-flash your ROM through Odin without wiping Data/System (on top of your existing ROM, so you won't loose anything) and than eventually you can reinstall the XPosed module making sure you don't touch the "hide NFC icon" feature again. If this doesn't work (that's the easy way), the only other option left is a factory reset and than using TiBu to restore your phone.

You can get your (phone specific) unaltered stock firmware from SamMobile, Samsung Updates or other similar websites.
