Hi schybiorz

I have tried to install this following a guide posted on AFTV News.

Unfortunately when trying to side load com.android.systemui.apk with adb, I keep getting this error-

Failure {INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]

I'm trying to install this on a FireTV 2 and so I guess the com.android.systemui.apk isn't compatible for this device?

And so I was wondering if you had any plans to release an updated version of com.android.systemui.apk to work with the FireTV 2?

I really hope so!

Cheers

Arctic Monkey

Thanks for your hard work on developing for the firetv. I have a firestick which is similar to the firetv 1. My question is this. Has this been done on os5? 5.2.1.0 to be exact. I am rooted and xposed is installed and working. I have all the files sideloaded except for system ui. I know that I probably will have to use es file explorer to install system ui. But I'm not sure it will work. And since there is no recovery there is no way back. I can upload my system ui and someone could take a look at them in comparison to see if this would work. Or maybe even modify it so that us firestick users will be able to enjoy this amazing modification.

EDIT:

I've uploaded the system ui from my firestick because I have no idea how to get it working like you have. I've checked the manifest in both of the system apks I've uploaded with no joy. Maybe someone will help me either figure it out or just need them for some reason. But there they are.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Failbringer60:
Okay I found the file in the SYSTEM_5.5.1 apk I've uploaded. They are not present in the SYSTEM UI_5.5.1 apk that is included in the zip.

(res/values/bools.xml)

<bool name="disable_system_wallpapers">true</bool>

<bool name="config_enableWallpaperService">false</bool>

But I cannot seem to edit them from apk editor pro. And I currently do not have a working computer. Can someone change those values and resign and upload so I can test it out? Or maybe a name of a good apk that can edit values and resign?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pflunz:
Hi

A friend of mine asked me to help with his old phone. He wanted to hand his phone to his children, but he can't remember the passwort he entered once.

It is a complete stock phone. No ADB activated.

But the main problem is, that I can't enter recovery mode. I am very familiar with flashing phones and so on and know what to do, but I really can't enter the recovery mode. At least I can enter download mode (not as good as normaly, it often doesn't work, but I can).

Has somebody an idea how I can reset the phone with Heimdall or Odin? I also tried to flash a new recovery (CWM, CWM touch, stock) and the Stock ROM, but I still can't enter recovery mode (volume rockers seem to work, also home button) .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulsic:
[MENTION=3230451]Pflunz[/MENTION] thats odd. So even flashing siyah kernel out of my head still doesnt allow you to boot into recoverymode? Because the S2 has recovery and kernel for system builtin.

Try to maybe flash gingerbread for the s2 first and it will probably work.

After you have flashed gingerbread and try to boot into system. If that works then you can root it and flash recovery. And boot into recovery from your rom.

You can do the same with jellybean stock instead of gingerbread. Read odin guide cause you can reflash stock with odin and it should be okay. Are you also flashing it for the right model?

I dont own anymore the S2 so I cant talk out of direct experience anymore.

I hope also for you that someone who is current in the s2 community can help you with this problem goodluck :good:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twatts723:
When I first goty Nexus, straight out the box, I had a transparent navigation bar. .. Not only on.my home screen, but on most apps I can remember (gmail, gapps, Facebook, etc). But somewhere between flashing and wiping and restoring and unroofing and rerouting, etc (you get my drift), I now have only transparent on my home screen, and not throughout my native apps. Anyone know how to restore that, or mod it back to transparent?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Stock ROM only has transparent Nav bar on homescreen.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twatts723:
Maybe I'm mistaken. Thanks
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The only similar thing I saw on KitKat was expanded mode or expanded desktop, which sort of did that when the Nav bar came back from an "off screen" state. Might be available on L too...I'm not sure, I don't use Nav bars.

My Motorola Defy got stuck with a Red 0% Battery Icon and would not budge - at all!

It has taken the adeptness of a Kundalini Yoga Master and Zen Programmer who has reached near enlightenment state to gain any traction on a solution.

Im still NOT out of the woods and need some suggestions. Here is what I have done so far …

VITALS:

- MB525 JORDAN

- Green Lens (SOC)

- Froyo 2.2.1

HISTORY:

- Éclair to Froyo update via T-Mo update

- Rooted > SuperOneclick (no problems)

- Has worked flawlessly, even though its been dropped a few times. Screen has facial wounds to prove it.

WHAT I DID SO FAR: “TricKs”

- Got into recovery mode and reset everything.

RECOVERY:

> (note: charging cord is initially unattached to power)

> Hold down Power Button and Volume (-) Button simultaneously and plugin Charging Cord

** used power outlet switch to make easier** (GE 52149 Handy Switch Grounded White)

> Depress Volume (+) and Volume (-) simultaneously to get into RECOVERY MODE.

RESET:

> Select > Wipe data/factory reset to RESET back to STOCK.

> PLUGGED Phone with NEW Fully Charged Battery into PC USB Port.

I went and bought a Rayovac Battery to replace the ones from Amazon I was using.

** charged NEW Battery with external charger ** (Yiboyuan AB-09 Charger)

[NOTE] Things didn’t work until I plugged my phone with usb cord into my PC USB port.

BYPASS MOTO BLUR:

> enter “eebluroffee” at start up when prompted to activate MOTO BLUR. Long hold menu button to access keyboard. Works like a charm.

CURRENT STATUS:

- Phone Calling Works! :-]

- Internet Worked initially, currently NO longer works. ;-[

- Capacitive Button HOME and SEARCH Keys DON’T work.

(Never had a problem before, ever)

(Have to use BACK Key to move through menus)

- SUPERUSER App is in my APPS tray.

- Installed apps (apk’s) I had on my SD card (32GB) no problem even apps with root privilege.

I think my problems started when I started accessing apps off the GOOGLE PLAY App to re-populate my phone. I don’t know if this corrupted my Google Apps (GAPPS) or what and now I have lost internet privileges from GAPPS.

Any thoughts, ideas, would be most appreciated.

I have NOT flashed any SBF’s or GAPPS mainly because Im not sure which ones I should use and also I have never done it before and don’t want to mess things up any more than they are.

If I figure out how to get the (2) Hardware Menu Buttons [Home & Search] to work, I will post that as well.

Can this be installed on rooted stock ROM/kernel?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] funiewski:
if you have androplus kernel - yes, press power button, clean stock kernel - never tested

but ub is mandatory
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] hamsup1o:
ok thanks anyway...was hoping not to have to unlock bootloader. :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] m0d:
Great.

Were you able to compile it yourself?

If yes, could you point to source code.

I was unable to compile it before and would love to try again.

This one reverts my recovery to stock CM. Fota 2.8.4.0 worked though, glad I didn't delete it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] funiewski:
recovery is working wp on stock with androplus kernel, haven't tested with cm bcs for me cm isn't good enough for now
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] m0d:
I have the same issue. It flashes CM recovery not TWRP.

Androplus kernel has TWRP already, it is integrated, there is no need to flash TWRP over it.

The one below ( have not tested the latest, but the old one worked) flashes TWRP correctly,
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] funiewski:
It's correct that androplus has TWRP but it's not on fota partition, androversion is 2.8.4. You can rich andros twrp by pressing vol +, fota by pressing power button. Advantage of fota is that recovery persist different kernels. For now there is no other kernel but hopefully there will be in the future

and it does not flash cm recovery, it is there in boot.img from beginning
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] IceTi:
Does it work with cm12.1?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] qaqarox:
Does this unlock the bootloader?

Does installing this unlock the bootloader?

I see that the install is taking place through fastboot mode. Does this result in the bootloader becoming unlocked?

Is there a way to install the recovery without unlocking the bootloader?

Thanks.

No cause it only can be installed on a partition that is free after bootloader unlock

operation successful, but cant get to recovery either way (power button + clicking on bottom/upper part of volume button

Edit: Resolved. After flashing fota-twrp, i "batted" lockeddualrecovery, then flashed Cyanogen Recovery. For some reason fota-twrp recovery is still present. Accessable via power button + clicking on volume up.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] arsradu:
Guys, I need a recovery I can use to make nandroid backup of my current ROM, format /system and flash any CM12.1 version without having to hack into the updater-script and remove the first line to make it flash. Also, it would be perfect if it was persistent no matter which ROM I flash.

Can this one do that? Can anyone advice please? This recovery thing on Sony devices is still a very confusing topic to me, especially coming from Samsung phones, on which you do have a default recovery and flashing a custom one won't be deleted when flashing a custom ROM.

Looking forward to your replies.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] polykoma:
+1 here

im on cm 12.1 nightly. and wanna make a nandroid. but have only cyanogen recovery .... :eek:

can i flash this recovery "over" my existing ?

will the nightly updater still work then ?!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dev_guy:
+1 Here as well. For reasons I don't understand, there's no backup option in the CM 12.1 recovery. The AndroPlus kernel isn't a solution as the developer says it does NOT work with CM. Despite trying a few different recovery options, I can't seem to get anything but CM recovery which is part of CM's boot.img. The CM recovery/bootloader/kernel gets flashed with:

fastboot flash

boot

boot.img

While this, and most other recoveries I can find, get flashed with:

fastboot flash

recovery

xxxx.img

I realize the Z3C doesn't have a conventional recovery partition. And, from what I understand, it essentially has two locations for a recovery utility with one designed for OTA use. I've tried three different methods:

Flashing recoveries with: fastboot flash recovery xxxx.img but I still get only the CM recovery (as others have reported in this thread).

Installing a ZIP recovery from within the CM recovery, but I still get only the CM recovery

Installing the TWRP app, letting it download TWRP for the Z3C, and the install fails.

What many of us seem to need is a

boot.img

file with TWRP that works with CM. Based on my experience that's the only way to replace the CM recovery.

Has anyone found a solution?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] polykoma:
Yes i do. I asked and got link to dual recovery page where u upload your boot.img and then it lets u download it with philz.touch injected
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dev_guy:
Thanks. I found a TWRP that actually works with CM12.1 when you flash it from fastboot here.

It's a common enough request you would think someone would have made it available for CM?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] benmorris:
The WiFi Radio in the HTC TyTn really stinks. When it works it works ok but the reception of WiFi is poor even in a strong signal environment. A laptop is much better. (not sure on the difference in the chips, but I know the laptop usually has an integrated antenna)

How's the Athena's WiFi performance? I know WM5 limits some of the speeds but any speed tests available?

On the BB 8800 the built-in GPS isn't too bad. In fact, sometimes I can get GPS signals indoors provided I'm near a window.. (A-GPS?). Not sure if Athena is A-GPS too or pure GPS.

Thanks for the real life feedback.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
i would say wifi in Athena is better then most other PPC, and it's pure GPS. Very good signal.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] dpbakker:
I thought that it was A-GPS(you can get updates of the internet about the satalite positions(quickgps)) ????
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
it's star-fi III (Not sure how you spell that) chip set, yes you can get download from internet, but personally i don't see any improvement at all.

radio problem

i don't know whether you guys have experience the same. Everybody that received my call complaint that i voice is very far and intermitten. I'm from Malaysia. any advised? thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] dpbakker:
Looking at the T-mobile Ameo specs it states SiRFstarIII GPS with A-GPS functionality. I've to run the QuickGPS application ones every 3 days(goes automaticly on internet connection) When starting TomTom it has the position of the satalites in a few seconds and fix a few seconds later.within 30 seconds a definitly have fix(this in a near open field area) With my former Adapt gps it was at least 1 to 2 minutes. So for me it looks much faster. BUt when in a city comming out of parking garage it takes a little longer.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Pyrofer:
Yes, the A-GPS just means it can download stuff from the net about sat positions. This ONLY speeds up Time To First Fix and makes no diff after that.

When you first use GPS it still needs to get info from the satellite, so you will get a better first fix quicker if you stand still with good view of at least one sat. This is more important without A-GPS but still helps to let it get a good valid fix before moving even with A-GPS.

Pity I cant get Google Maps working with Ameo GPS at all though!

Hello, back in december I was trying to load up an app on my phone but in a video the guy said to download chainfire so I did and installed the driver and my phone got stuck in the warning unlocked bootloader screen and I really can't remember what I did but I did something with downloading the system restore image but it wouldn't work so I changed up the files and now my phone is stuck in fastboot and no longer is usable so I just threw it in my drawer and never used it again up until now here I am asking for help on how to resolve this issue. I'm no android techie so I really don't know much about anything other than rooting phones. My phone is a Moto G XT1031. Also I can't charge my phone because when I leave it, the phone just keeps rebooting and it really doesn't charge much.

UPDATE:

I managed to unlock the bootloader but now when I power it up, the device is stuck on the motorola screen.

I have a Sprint LG G3 that I am leasing. I want to root it, but I do not know if it will affect me returning it when my lease is up. Anyone have experience with this? Thanks for the help.

EDIT to add more information: Most of the time when I talk to Sprint on the phone, they don't understand what I mean by rooting. Should I just say "Modifying the original software of the phone" or how would you go about it?
[Sprint LG G3] meyerweb:
Historically, Sprint has been much less concerned about people rooting their phones than other carriers. But there's a thread here in the Sprint subforums that shows you how to revert to a completely stock, unrooted state. I would suggest doing that before returning it, just to be safe.
[Sprint LG G3] 1moneymark:
Did u get rooted and flashed? I saw where u had question about rooting.

Most of your questions are already answered on here. But for any question you have most members are helpful and dont just tell you to post questions somewhere else. These processes with your phone are daunting even for experienced folk. If something goes wrong it can be a $600 penalty. There are many who have helped me most dont even know they helped because they halped someone else who had the same problem i had. Meyerweb is probably who has helped me most throughout the years as i followed him with gs3. When i was looking at lgg3 i asked him about development before i purchased. If you need help post spicific questions about what your doing or trying. I will try to help

---------- Post added at 10:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

One more thing. Dont tell sprint anything about root. There is no need for them to know. The warranty on your phone is now void. Dont mention modifying software or bootloader. I cannot think of a reason of using these terms with any carrier. And return to stock before u turn back in.

If you are leasing your phone i may have a different pov on rooting. My justification to rooting is i bought phone, own phone, will do to phone what i want. Its like buying or leasing a car. If you buy it you can paint it but if you lease it you cant turn it in with a yellow polka dot paint job. With that being said who am i to tell you what t o do.
[Sprint LG G3] iwuz:
A friend who has good information explained it to me this way: They try to take a hands-off approach to it, unless one of a couple things happens:

The phone causes the customer to call in for support on the handset itself (i.e. not dropped calls or a cracked screen, but some difficulty in launching/running applications or compatibility)

A phone without a tethering package starts pushing 25gb/month of traffic, *and* the user calls in to complain about throughput. (bonus points if they actually mention that they don't have a tethering package and call for compatibility help on the wifi hotspot features)

Resolving some issue would require sprint to acknowledge that the customer has modified the phone, and implying their approval for that.

The customer states that they are doing something in violation of applicable laws or the service agreement. Please, don't do this. Support calls are recorded and doing anything other than feigning deafness would require the support tech to follow up on the issue raised. That blank stare is an act of courtesy, not ignorance.

My take-away was "root and code all you like, but make sure you know what you're doing and understand that the second you mention 'rooted' to a SPCS employee, you're gonna get a blank stare".
