[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbpower:
I've been fighting with this error and finally solved it... the system partition was not getting mounted.

It was expected to be here: /dev/block/platform/soc.0/by-name/system

.. but looking at the filesystem we see: /dev/block/platform/soc.0/{random}.sdhci/by-name

To resolve:

adb shell

cd /dev/block/platform/soc.0/

ln -s {random}.sdhci/by-name ./

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpgolfpro:
Hopefully someone can help me with this. I am wanting to disable the swipe up from the bottom action that opens Google Now. I want to be able to disable to soft buttons and instead use Pie or gestures to control everything. I am not able to do that though as long as the swipe up Google Now is enabled. Any ideas?

Also, does anyone know of a way, if I swipe up, the current screen I am on will literally slide up and return to the home screen? There was a tweak for this on iPhone and it is about the only thing I miss from ios. The ability to swipe up and return to the home screen is very quick and doesn't require pushing the home button.

Thanks for the help!

these are the options i get when i swipe up. if i choose nothing, for always not just once,, then nothing will happen when swiping up.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpgolfpro:
I don't want to disable the swipe up gesture entirely though. I just don't want it to engage Google now. I want it to slide up the current screen and return me to the home screen.

Thanks I'll have to check that out. At the very least I think that would allow me to reassign the swipe up so it opens Pie.
[General Questions and Answers] doveman:
I got this A8-50 (AH5500-H) for my Mum and managed to find a nice case for it but can't find any decent affordable screen protectors for it. It's the model with two speakers, one at each end and some of the protectors only seem to have a cutout for one speaker. I generally prefer matte ones to help reduce glare a bit but they're not that easy to find for this device.

I've bought some cheap ones for other devices before but they've been nasty, with horrible friction on the fingers when trying to use the device and not applying very easily or well, so I don't want to waste money trying to get lucky. I was hoping to find something decent for around £4 or £8 for two.

I really want a pack of at least two, in case I mess up applying the first one or just as a spare for future. This one's cheap enough to buy two but I've not come across kwmobile before, so they might not be any better than the e-bay ones.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/kwmobile®-p...mputers_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0VMV0GGT0ZJPEZZH1A14

This on the other hand is quite expensive at £11.69 for two but I think I at least recognise the brand, although there's only one review so not enough information to know if they're actually any good

http://www.amazon.co.uk/atFoliX-Scr...sr=8-8&keywords=lenovo+a8-50+screen+protector

Xtremeguard I think are OK and this seems like a good price for three but coming from the US I'll have no recourse if it turns out to be rubbish as it will cost more to send it back than it's worth. It also says they have a "slightly grippy feel" which sounds like the nasty ones I've used before on other devices.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-Pack-Cl...937?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5b06b98ad9

The fact that they're selling this single one for more than that pack of 3 above, makes me concerned that the latter might not be very good and anyway, this has to be applied with water, which I don't fancy either.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-X...952?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5b06b97f30

I was thinking maybe I could just get any 8" protector and cut it down on either side so that it stops short of the speakers and just covers the actual screen area but I don't want to have to trim the other two sides as well if they're just a little bit too big, as it's fiddly enough using a Stanley knife or scalpel to cut large bits off, let alone taking small strips off.

So can anyone suggest something suitable and decent as I've had this tablet for a while now but don't want to give it to my Mum until the screen's properly protected as she's not the most careful person with her devices!
[General Questions and Answers] doveman:
I'm still struggling to find something suitable, if anyone can help.

I think I should get a tempered glass protector now but it's no easier to find those than the other kind for this device.

I found this one on e-bay but it's not clear if it has the cutouts at both ends for the speakers

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Premium-0...Domain_0&var=500464524966&hash=item2eda657ac9

This one does have the cutouts but doesn't appear to be come with alcoholic wipe or dust removal stickers to use before fitting it

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311271650534?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

(This looks to be the same thing: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1ATVJM7R78CKU)

Neither seller has replied to messages asking them about the products and if possible, I'd rather get something from the UK to avoid having to wait weeks for delivery, as I really want to give this tablet to my Mum ASAP.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] reggie9:
Hi - Have a Kindle Fire HDX 7 with 13.3.2.1 installed. Brand new refurbed unit.

I have rooted with KFHDX+ToolKit+v0.95 and all went fine.

I also Disabled OTA updates but I'm concerned that the otacerts.zip is still in the /system/etc/security folder. I'd like to move it out of there.

I have confirmed I have root, and want to install Es File Explorer. I have sideloaded the file and tried to install with adb:

C:\Users\davcam\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb install /sdcard/Download/ES_File_Explorer_V3.0.4.apk

Invalid APK file: /sdcard/Download/ES_File_Explorer_V3.0.4.apk

I'm afraid to enable wifi and get an unwanted update from Amazon. That's why I want to install ES FM with ADB

Goal is to mv the otacerts.zip file out of it's folder and then install Safestrap-Thor-3.75-os3.2.4-B02.apk and take a backup of stock rom, restore to a new ROM slot and then activate that .

C:\Users\davcam\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell ls -Ral /system/etc/security

/system/etc/security:

drwxr-xr-x root root 2014-02-07 04:23 cacerts

-rw-r--r-- root root 1337 2014-02-07 04:23 otacerts.zip

Feels like a Catch-22

do I need to chmod the file to 755 or is it a R/W permissions problem?

Have not been able to install any apks with adb.

thanks

thought: do you have to register with AMZ to get OTA updates? Maybe I could get file from 1Mobile.?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] EncryptedCurse:
adb install only accepts local paths; e.g. those on your computer, not device.

As for otacerts.zip, you don't have to revoke any permissions — just rename it to something like otacerts.zip.old.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] reggie9:
So is it even feasible to install apks on your Kindle using adb? If so can you show me a simple example using the Download folder?

Can I safely do this: ADB install (installs application) -- adb install c:\example.apk ?

EDIT: I tried the above command and it works. I guess you can!

thanks
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] devon:
This might have been posted before, but it works so well for me I thought I'd point it out.

On my orbit, ever since I stopped suspending the device (using the power button) and instead simply locking it before putting it in my pocket, I have not had a single problem with microSD corruption (it was happening every couple of days before that). It's a pain having device lock on the today screen though, and with this you don't need to:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=261277

you map a hardware button to activate the device lock. Works perfectly. soft reset after install, then goto settings --> personal --> buttons and map "device lock" to whatever button you want. Customize behavior in

settings --> system --> device lock.

Cheers,

Tnx for the tip .... users will find this useful.

I tried this but my machine wouldn't wake up properly, I think one of the messages on the link refers to this problem and there might be a fix.

You can set a buton to lock and suspend your device which I thought was perfect as it seems that the corruption happens when ou turn the device off while it is writing to the card. Sadly, as I said, my device wouldn't swtich back on again and had to do a soft reset to get it back on.

I updated to the latest custom root firmware and installed all my apps before attempting and when I did it had some strange error and quit. Now I am left with what appears to be a fire tv that is rooted but does not know it is. I can mount external usb, all the superuser stuff still works updates are blocked etc. But when I run towel root it says this phone doesn't work...

Hey guys!

I recently updated to 5.0.3 by OTA and Rooted my phone.

But I do regret that, there's many things dont work on Lollipop (I miss you xposed).

So, i thought downgrade to 4.4.4, but theres so many people saying I will brick my phone or the downgrade will not work correctly, so I want to flash CM11 on my phone.

The question is: Will my phone work fine? or I will get the same risk than downgrading to 4.4.4?

Anyone already did that?

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhisek1994:
So far, attempting to run Adobe flash on the new 5.0 lollipop has failed without much success within the stock.

I am using the Wifi variant of the tablet, without any rooting, unlocking (etc)

So far i have tried running dolphin with jetpack, along with many modified .apk versions of the adobe flash player. I have also used Flashfox and firefox ,and i still failed. The problem i get is that the moment any browser encounters a flash content, the entire browser cuts off(shuts down) and it blacks out for a second. I have tried installing many variants, many beta versions, and the versions available on playstore of the browsers, and i still could not succeed to make adobe flash run at my tablet.

I would like to mention one thing, adobe flash did work for about 10 seconds while running flashfox, installing a modified apk of the adobe flash, and it shut itself. After that, i tried clearing space, and resetting, reinstalling, it never worked. I feel like there is some sort of provisioning system within the nvidia stock system which works to disallow adobe flash to run WHATOSOEVER.

If you guys found a solution for this problem, please post, anything is accepted. thank you!!!!!!

I've rooted and modded every phone I've ever had including my last phone, an S3. Now I'm looking and kind of confused at my next steps here.

I'd like to have a slimmed down phone, definitely don't need AT&T bloatware now. I'd love to have tmobile's wifi calling back, but I can deal if I can't have that. Wouldn't mind having an updated version but again, I really just want a slimmed down system... Battery life over bells and whistles for me.

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
Really the only thing you can do is root your phone, and uninstall the bloat you don't want. You have a phone with a locked bootloader so you can't flash custom ROMs with custom kernels. Install SafeStrap and xposed, and that's about the best you can hope for.

I have a 1st Gen Kindle Fire with 6.3.3. I wanted to root the Fire so loaded Kindle Fire Utility (KFU) and Safeboot to my windows 8.1 computer and unzipped both to my Desktop. I set computer to use unsigned Drivers and loaded the drivers from KFU (0.9.9), then I rooted the Kindle with Safeboot. I went back to KFU and loaded the Google Extras so I would have Goodgle Play. SU was loaded on my Kindle when I rooted it. All worked great, and still does. After a couple of days I thought I would load CM11. I am a Samsung guy with an S4 running 4.4.2 so it seemed like a good idea.

When I went back to KFU neither FFF nor TWRP would load. KFU run.bat status showed ADB Status as OFFLINE and Boot Status as UNKNOWN. When trying to load the fff process stops at "waiting on device". Device Manager shows Android Phone with Android ABD Interface.

Also my Kindle DOES NOT show up in Windows Explorer.

I have stripped my USB Kindle drivers off of my computer, plugged in my Kindle and the Android Phone in Device Manager shows Composite ADB Interface. My Kindle shows up and will connect in Windows Explorer and I can access all of the files with USB cable. I have tried two different good USB cables, and all 4 USB ports on my computer. All are the same result.

I do not know what happened between rooting my Kindle and adding some stuff to now when I can not access my Kindle with USB cable using KFU Drivers. I did M5 check sums at the beginning an all was well.

Have I missed a menu item in SU on my Kindle? Do you have any other suggestions?
