[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kendonsh:
I love disabling my lockscreen security (fingerprint) on my note 4 when I have MOTO 360 on but still like to keep specific apps locked. I know of two options FingerLock and FingerSecurity, one requires root and xposed and the other doesn't.

First, FingerLock: (my fav)

FingerLock

requires root and Xposed

ability to lock system apps

doesn't need to run background services

but there is no xposed on lollipop, the last I checked, so not future proof.

Second, FingerSecurity:

FingerSecurity

no root or xposed required

runs on lollipop

Not here to sell you on the apps, if you wanna know more about them I posted links.

If I missed something like other apps please tell me, we are a community after all.

My S5830i won´t boot up

Hi Guys,

its great to see, that there are still some users of this device and this rom. I try to flash a rom for the Ace for at least 7 Days now. I bricked it already, restored it with a full Stock firmware. I tried a lot of cm7 roms but none of them would boot up. I installed them like described. Recovery, wipe, install kernel reboot recovery install rom and gaps. After rebooting it stucks at the "Samsung Galaxy Ace" start screen. I already wiped Data and Cache after this, but it wont fix this problem. I would absolutely happy if someone could give me a hint what could be wrong.

Thanks for your help, cheers!
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehsanotaku:
[MENTION=5462888]NootYest[/MENTION], I am really concerned about the correct way you have been restoring your device back into stock firmware [ RFS partitions ] though. please follow my instruction @ post#6 for wipe flash-able zip packages , if you are doing other methods.

As for your problems , I am going to devise an experiment to force your partitions being transformed into EXT4, before flashing our CM Specific Basic Kernel. ( Method would apply only to CM7/7.2 based on kernel CM7 v4.0 (cooperVe). Do not use it on newer CM's please. )

Requirements :

SLIM_CM7.2_Cooperve #4

Temporary CWM for s5830i/c/M/s5839i devices , known as cooperVe.

CM Specific Basic Kernel - BroadcomCM[COOPERVE][v4.0 ]

EXT4 Formatter Tool

SLIMGapps by mathm2013 (Optional) >> This is an extreme bare bone Rom , check Dev section; his topic; for more instruction on how to flash this package.

1.. Copy them in the root of your SD card. ( Full back ; EFS partition back up; CWM back up is advised)

2.Boot into stock e3 recovery >> wipe data and flash your Temp CWM

3.cwm > wipe data > wipe cache > wipe dalvik cache

4.flash the EXT4 Formatter tool, so whole system will be converted to EXT4. (Stock filesystem is RFS).

5.Install kernel_CM7_v4.0_cooperVe .

6.When the Kernel is installed, go to the advanced menu --> "reboot recovery" (this will reboot the device, thus you will be directed into your new CWM built-in, which is implanted inside Kernel ).

7.Wipe data, cache and dalvik

8.Go to "mounts and storage", and make sure /system partition is mounted (will show unmounted)

9. Main menu > "Install zip from SD Card" > choose "zip from SD card" and install the ROM.

10.Reboot

I am going to check on your progress later ,,,,,
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NootYest:
Hi ehsanotaku,

thank you for your reply!!!!! I did the trick! I tried different processes of installing cm7 and i think i know where the problem were.

First let me explain how i installed the rom. The Situation is a s5830i with Stock GB and an empty SDCard:

1. I copied the temporary cwm, the kernel, the cm7 and the gapps on the root of the SD

2. Reboot into stock recovery and start tmp recovery

3. Wipe data cache and dalvik

4. Install cm7 kerne and reboot recovery

5. Now I am in the new kernel recovery. There I go to mounts and storage, unmount system and format system

6. After formating system I installed the cm7, went back to mounts and storage and check if system is mounted

7. If system is mounted UNmount System

8. Install gapps, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot

The things i did in another way were formating system and unmount system before installation. So the update package had to mount the partition on its own. This process worked for me two times on two different devices. Perhaps you can add this to the main thread for future users.

Thank you!
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehsanotaku:
[MENTION=5462888]NootYest[/MENTION], I was going to recommend you to format your /System partition where your previous Android OS was resided, after your initial test. However this process is not necessary by default , when you are coming from stock GB -based OS ( unless you didn't revert back completely to your OLD RFS partitions as I did instruct ) . And for any modification/suggestion in regards of installation alternative methods please pm OP of ROM . I am just a regular novice helper @ XDA.

Have fun tinkering
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbagy:
I can confirm this works on a s5839i. Installed today on s5839i.

Any themes available for this rom as the packaged theme leaves a little to be desired, on all levels.

Oh dear this post seems to have been redirected to a different thread, so the question by the previous users in the other thread goes unanswered.

Thanks for this ROM

my 5830i was actually unusable on stock rom due to too many built in apps....This Slimcm7 rom actually solved my cell problem...too stable too light fluid performance.

Just on negligible issue is that sygic maps are not working on it but as i said its negligible.

Thanks developer for this wonderful rom :)

Hi folks,

I wanted to do a clean installation and wiped everything in recovery mode - incl. the internal disk.

The phone is not booting anymore. It gets stuck with the LG logo when I turn it on. I am still able to get to download mode and recovery mode.

[General Questions and Answers] exist2resist:
So for the brief moment that I owned the One Plus One with CM 11 it had a nifty feature which blocked both phone #s and the ability for said phone numbers not to leave voice messages.

I think it actually dropped the call.

Android has a similar feature in the contacts section, but this still forwards the phone # to the VM service and they are able to leave voice mails.

Is there and app or hack which allows me to completely drop and block calls from ringing and leaving a voice mail?

I am new on here. I have looked and haven't been able to find anything on the internet that helps much. I am running android 4.4.4 Paranoid. I was using my phone this morning and everything was fine. I was connected to my home WiFi. When I went to school my phone wouldn't connect to internet. I would just say "searching..." I rebooted my phone and and the WiFi appeared and I tried to connect and it said "network connection failed". I can't figure out what is wrong. should I factory reset?, flash a new rom? (by the way I am not super smart and advanced on these kind of things so If your solution is complicated please provide detailed instructions.)
[General Questions and Answers] funkbuqet:
This is something I have been wondering for a while and after searching the forums and Google I have not been able to find a clear answer. As a long time Linux user the idea of running your system as root all the time is appalling. It is a huge security risk. But for some reason that is really the only way to gain root access on an Android device (as far as i am aware). Apps like SuperSU allow you to pick the apps that are allowed to run as root, but there is no password or verification that the entity approving the access actually has the authority to do so. I hear all the time that rooting your phone is a trade-off between customizability and security, but every Linux system has a root user and it is incredibly secure when properly administered. What is the reason for the difference?

From what I have read, it sounds like part of the issue has to do with Android handling users differently. I would love to be able to maintain a more limited root function on my devices. Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
You can set a passcode with SuperSU....
[General Questions and Answers] funkbuqet:
Thanks for the reply. That is good to know. Does that really fill the security gap though? I guess if I set My non-background root permissions to expire every 15 minutes that does help for apps that do not need to run as root in the background.

I am more referring to the distinction between regular user land and the root user. Titanium Backup for example; If I want it to be able to run a full backup (including system apps and settings) of my phone every night I have to give it permanent root permissions. That root permission applies to both the automatic process and anything that I as a user (or any entity that can get control of TB) to act as root as well. Ideally there would be 2 separate instances of the program; the back-up process (a daemon perhaps) initiated by the root user and a second available in regular user space. This sort of thing is common on Linux systems.

My knowledge of Android is not particularly deep. I cannot tell if there is actually a separate root user or how user/group permissions work. It seems that the Android framework is designed around the user not having root access. Which is a bit confusing for an OS that prides itself on customization and "Be together not the same". I can't imagine buying a desktop PC that didn't allow me to have system level (root) access. Why should it be any different on a mobile device?

Hi, this is my build.prop for version V50020d

[Samsung Gear VR] Rayan:
Yesterday I was with the family and friends when suddenly the conversation got more interesting when a friend placed his brand new iPhone 6+ on the dining table.

So, as expected some guests mentioned how superior it was to many other phones including (dare to say) my trusty Note 4!!! :laugh:

I started laughing but let them talk all their nonsense. :p

Some asked about the "new" features of his new iphone 6+ and after a few minutes, he started praising about them, but quickly ran out of words.

Everybody was awed and impressed about the new iPhone 6+, taking turns to inspect the new device!

Now it was my turn to talk about the Note 4, so after what seemed like a good 20 minutes of me doing a quick demonstration of almost every cool feature of the Note 4, I managed to convince almost everybody about the Note 4 supremacy, but then I remembered that I had the Gear VR in my car's trunk so I said... "Ok everybody listen, I will close this stupid Apple vs Samsung argument, and I bet there will be no one here that will continue to believe such iPhone 6+ and Apple nonsense after you see and try this".

So I went to pick up the Gear VR, turned on the Chromecast enabled big screen TV, launched the Cast Screen feature on my Note 4, grabbed the Gear VR and popped in my Note 4 into it and started showing off how cool Virtual Reality on the Note 4 really is... Everybody started cheering, nervously laughing, and yelling "my turn, my turn" like a 10 year old waiting his turn to play on the WII.

Everybody started taking turns while others watched the action on the big screen tv!

They were mesmerized to say the least... Totally blown away of this technology, including the pro-Apple people of course!

And yes folks, that sealed the argument of which phone has is superior technology and feature set!

What a great night it was!!! :highfive:
[Samsung Gear VR] Amd4life:
Nice write up-appreciate the story , I'm still on the fence on buying the VR, as I'm just not exactly clear what is does :lol:

I read your review, but I'm confused, do I need a chromecast also (I don't have one), or is that only for TV output?

Also are their movies for the format or just gaming?
[Samsung Gear VR] Rayan:
Thanks Amd4Life!

No, the Chromecast argument was thrown in the conversation because I was showing off the supremacy of the Note 4 versus the iPhone 6+ in streaming live video to a Chromecast while doing Virtual Reality with the Gear VR.

Of course you don't need it at all. The Chromecast can be used to stream whatever is on the smartphone screen to the TV, and since the VR can only be seen by the wearer, this is a great solution for everyone on the room to see what's going on "in there".

I was initially not impressed with the Gear VR idea and was actually thrown off by the price of the Gear VR, but quite honestly (while expensive) it really takes gaming and multimedia to the next level.

The many video reviews and photos online simply does not make justice to what the Gear VR really is, not even words can describe it. You have to experience it to understand it and imagine the possibilities.

As geeky as it is, I truly believe this is the future of entertainment and everyone that have tried it, ends up loving it and wanting to get one.

Soon you will see it on your nearest Best Buy store, I don't know if they will have a demo unit, but really, you will not be disappointed.

Cheers!
[Samsung Gear VR] pliablemoose:
I have a 6+ and got a used Note 4 for GF off Swappa, was immediately impressed with the screen, got a Gear VR last week, used it a bit, and just bought a used Note 4 for me too. The Gear VR is pretty impressive for what it costs.

A heads up, Verizon is selling refurb Note 4's for $489 with a full manufacturer's warranty (1 year) on their website, I used that to leverage my seller, since I wanted the Verizon model. Verizon's LTE phones are unlocked, so you can use them on GSM carriers as well as Verizon.

Ain't getting a bite. Oh well. I saw a post about the slim ROM like a day later. Haven't ran it but that post has detailed data on what works and what doesn't in the op. I did try the newest liquid from 02-08 I think and it ran fine. I couldn't find how to change which settings though. A lot of features were there some weren't. Tried AICP same deal except I found the quick settings modifier in this one.

Both ran very well but I did use dkp's excellent kernel. Tierservative governor and clocked at 216-1728. Using his voltages.

I did try sending a text with liquid and I don't know if it went or not. I had read receipts checked but didn't get one. Someone else had this same issue in the liquid thread.

I'm back on KitKat but will n be testing new builds as I find them. Please give the developers some love and support or if you can donate. These guys work on this for fun and experience and some are in college. I've never known many wealthy college students. I was thrilled to have a case of naddy light or ughhhh beast ice.

I ran LS and mastas LP roms and loved em both on my S3 (I still have it even though I upgraded) and while I was impressed with the rom itself in both cases the battery life for me at least was horrendous.

I'm running slimkat on the S3 currently but I think I might just try out another LP rom seeming how it's only a wifi device now

Out of curiosity what did you upgrade to? I'd love a nexus six but I'm not sure they'll work with CDMA networks or a new moto. Since my old motos DX and x2 are bullet proof. Built like tanks. But I need to get something that'll let me scratch the flashing itch.

Yeah I really can't afford one, but unlocked devices from major carriers seem to be few and far between. I mean without jumping though every hurtle out there to try to root and rom and device is getting harder and harder these days..

On the lollipop note, I really want to run it and have received advice from various forums on how to get the camera and video to work using A better camera, which i haven't tried, to open camera which i did try, and vivavideo which i just couldn't get to work for me at all. I might try another tonight maybe liquid maybe CM, I'd try Slim which was once my absolute favorite, until I used nameless. It had the features I wanted with none of the bloat I didn't.

I've been trying every aicp that I can get my hands on but have yet to get the camera or video to function.. Of course lots of people are useing Mastamoons CM and he probably has the biggest following of all the rom's out there at the moment. Maybe I should give that a whirl just to see how things fare with using the camera and video. But I can't imagine that other dev's haven't picked up on his tips, tricks, and cherry picks to include in their own roms to make them work just as well, but then again, maybe they're going their own route.

My question to everyone is which rom are you running lollipop that is, that have both camera and video working... Any kind of camera and video. I'm not too worried about resolution at the moment as far as video is concerned as I understand it, VIVAvideo only works at 640-480, but I can't for the life of me find a setting in there to get it to work.

I've found an app on the app store called cm camera fix or similar that is supposed to get things going without a reboot using another apk called camera reboot or simlar, but didn't have much luck with either.. Again, this is using AICP which I love. If anyone can suggest a rom and I've read through all threads except for the massive mastamoon thread, please do so. and please share your experiences

your not so on the spot op

People seem to forget our builds are still alpha builds. Its unfortunate, but the truth. Doesn't seem like we will get any unofficial love until the camera API problem is hacked & working.
