Any thief who'd take my phone would have to know how to simulate the battery pull (powerbutton + volume key) because my powermenu on the lockscreen doesn't have anything but a "take screenshot" function.

Being rooted anything is possible. I made a tasker script that reacted on an sms with the word "findphone" which would trigger a tasker task which took use of the addon "Secure Settings" that then would turn on mobile data and the GPS, get the location, save the location in a variable and then send an email to myself with the coordinates and battery life.

I was bored.
[Xperia Z2 General] bdithug:
Very good idea. And the points above are valid. For me, I'm just saying that no matter what anyone does to secure their phone, there's always a way for a thief to wipe the phone and flash a new firmware on it. The only thing you can do after someone steals your phone is blacklist the imei. If someone steals your phone and immediately forces it to turn off (hold power button or the Red reset button under the USB flap), there's nothing you can really do except blacklist the imei of the device. That's one area where google needs to step up their security.
[Xperia Z2 General] y300owner:
Wow, I really need to root the brand new device to make it really secure to get that of security.

Only thought going in my mind right if someone came up to at gun point and demanded my phone, I don't have any effective way in retrieving... Need to root

cerberus

Have used Cerberus for 4 years now. Has a flashable, disguised version, that appears as SystemFramework in installed apps. Once hidden, the only way to access it is typing "cerberus" in your phone dialer and hitting call (this is customizable). Only way to remove it is flashing another ROM on top of the current one (factory reset does not remove it, since it integrates itself into the ROM).

Supports up to 5 devices. Already managed to retrieve 2 stolen phones (3rd one ended up in Romania so I wrote it off)

Once you try it out for a while, its pretty much a given that everything else out there will feel like cheap donkey sh*t :)

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calebp123:
Recently I updated my phone to a lollipop using the standard updates verizon pushed out. After doing this I decided to root my phone, which didn't end well. I used several different methods like towel root, which said my device wasn't supported, and I tried using odin. Neither worked, so I decided to try and downgrade Android back to 4.4.4, which didn't work either. Both times I used odin it failed. Any way I can root or downgrade with this current update, or is there some kind of odin fix?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjiggywiggy:
You can't root using 4.4.4 or 5.0, only the NCG, which is 4.4.2, build or lower. To Odin items you need to boot into download mode, which can be done by holding home+volume down+power on start. Once in download mode flash the NK2 tar, factory reset in recovery mode, and then setup. Then download towelroot, boot into download mode again, flash a ncg kernel, and root using towelroot. Now boot into download again and flash the NK2 kernel. Setup SuperSU, install busybox, and install safestrap recovery. Then follow the instructions in the general section of the vz s5 to get root on lollipop.

Hello Everyone, few days ago I rooted my device, Then I decided to check if it is rooted or not. So I downloaded root checker and It Says, "Sorry Root access isn't installed properly in this device". While I am able to use other rooted apps like nobloat, adblock, etc.. but having problems in installing Xposed firmwork and renaming etc/install-recovery.sh into etc/install-recovery.sh.bak..

What should I do? And is my device rooted or not? :(
[General Questions and Answers] TechMinerUK:
Do you have an app to control root access e.g. SuperUser. If not download superuser and use it to control permissions as it may be that you have root but applications can't gain access as theres nothing to grant them access.

If that doesn't work just root again.
[General Questions and Answers] rahulnegi94:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentexcitebot:
Hi,

After much Youtube and Google searching for good Lollipop Roms, I came across Blisspop (v20), which looks like a pretty interesting Rom. I checked XDA and their official builds, but they don't seem to have a build available for Xperia Z1. So I'm thinking of porting Blisspop to my Z1 (if I can!). But before I try porting, I have some questions.

1. On Bliss Team's download website (http://downloads.blissroms.com/) they have their own Bliss kernel. I'm pretty sure the kernel won't work for Xperia since it's not built for it. What kernel should I use to safely flash this ROM without risk of hard brick (or brick of any kind)?

2. Is camera fixed yet? I've heard that it's still broken on CM12, but that's probably for the older CM12 kernel?

3. What's different between the builds with other devices? Should I download the Hammerhead build and try to modify it?

4. Is it difficult to port for an inexperienced person (I have no programming knowledge.)

Sorry, I'm really new to this.
[Google Cardboard] RmatriX1218:
I hope most of us are familiar with Google cardboard project.

If not...

https://www.google.com/get/cardboard/

I searched a lot for specifically Moto G 2014 compatibility with cardboard. There is very little specific information available, and some sites pointed out partial compatibility for Moto G. That's all.

So, I thought to start dedicated thread on this topic.

I am not expert but just starting this thread to share experiences, Tips, Q&A etc. :fingers-crossed:
[Google Cardboard] RmatriX1218:
I'll start with my experience.

I ordered kit from amazon.

http://www.amazon.in/3D-Unofficial-...d=1423286903&sr=8-2&keywords=google+cardboard

I didn't see any issue with kit received.

So far tried google cardboard app, google map street view, Roller coaster VR etc and been fun.

I have found following issues with Moto G.

# Most of the Cardboard VR kit have magnet location on side. This is not working with our device. Somehow, I found correct magnet location near power button may be little back side. Yet to make magnet fix at this location and get it working.

# Don't have NFC support, but thinking who wants it also?

# Gyro always shaking. This has been talked many times and still issue.

# While playing Roller coaster, screen was stopping/hanging. May be RAM not sufficient?

But in nutshell, it is nice to experiment with.

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mst46:
I own my orbit since 4 month now, but just recently

I noticed that the display doesn't come up as long

as I am connected to any power source (usb/plug).

I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case from the beginning.

The display switches on as soon as I unplug power though.

I already searched the archives and tried to remove

all today plug-ins as well as softreset to no avail.

Anybody seen that before and/or knows how to get

rid of this annoyance?

Thanks in advance
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jamesredfern:
Try Start > Settings > System > Backlight

There are seperate settings for the backilght depending whether its running on battery power of external power. Make sure that the "On external power" setting is not turned down to power save.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mst46:
Backlight on external is 100%; backlight on battery is 70%

that should be o.k.

Thanks anyway
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Bart1981:
Have you installed SPS Pocket Plus? If so that's properbly the problem, change the backlight setting within SPB Pocket Plus and you'll be fine.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] BigKuri:
I've had that a few times - usually when the orbit has lost its activesync relationship. Backlight settings and power settings are a-ok, and only fix I've found is a rebuild :(
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mst46:
Well just in case anybody runs into the same kind of problem here is what I found. Now I nerver had SPS Pocket Plus so it didn't have to to with that.

I believe it actually has to do with what Big Kuri said regarding losing

ActiveSync relationship while backlight is off.

Well by accident I into a solution much less troublesome than a hardreset.

- with Backlight on connect the Orbit to your computer (ActiveSysnc)

- let it finisc ActiveSync connection

- with the backlight still on do a softreset no your Orbit

=> after booting up (still connected to the computer) everything was fixed

for me.

I can confirm my network connection is perfectly fine, after performing a speed test and downloading Battlefield: Hardline just moments before. This is gonna be the third time I've tried this app, once on CM11, and now twice on CM12, all times with the same result.

The Cool thing about this version S5 is that the NFC reads and writes almost all tags includi9ng the old ones where as the other carrier version Don't and have to have specific tags. I know they have to be the same NFC chips so something software is letting this phone read older NFC stickers and tags. I miss that on a stock Sprint S5 and thats why i am using it instead.
