[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] retiredguy1945:
Have a stock S3, Sprint-branded, running 4.4.2. As of yesterday, I can't get mobile data (apps say no internet connection). It works fine on WiFi.

I noticed on startup, towards the end of the process, a "could not obtain root" message briefly flashes.

Only recent change was I tried an app called "Automate". I have since uninstalled it, but the problem still exists.

Any suggestions? Help would be appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
Sounds like it was rooted at some point, and an app requiring root access is still installed. Install SuperSU from playstore and see which app it is

Anyone know how to set a live wallpaper on the lock screen?

This is NOT the right forum to be asking questions.

The answer to your question is no. @MikeChannon please move this thread into the correct sub-forum.

Mike Edit: moved to Q&A
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
I don't know if rooting the device will offer a solution for you, but you can always switch to a third-party lock screen that utilizes live wallpapers. Check the play store.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Culbert:
1. Goto Settings

2. Goto CyanogenMod Settings

3. Goto LockScreen

4. Goto Style options

5. Goto Choose background

6. Select your pictures and scale it.

7. Click Save then you will see your selected wallpaper appear on lockscreen.

8. Enjoy!!

Is it worth keeping a list of things not working properly or at all in lollipop? I'll start - 910f:

Delayed Lock by j4velin - location lock isn't working due to an issue with 5 (according to the dev) - my lock screen will not stay unlocked at my 'safe' locations.

Dock Clock by gadget juice - the new notifications overwrite the clock so in the night you lose the clock, even if you set the notifications in that app to off.

BT Sport - Just a black screen when you click on 'watch' - not longer working

Why not just use smart lock feature in lollipop. Trusted locations works perfect.

Hello frnds,i was updating my xperia z through pc companion,but failed to update,after that the phone was not starting was getting stuck a Sony logo,then i downloaded the flash tool,and a tft file for version 10.5.1.A.0.292,(i think this was for kitkat)(sorry don't know much about these things i was just experimenting to fix my phone),i clicked on flash,and don't know if it was working or not,then i clicked other many options,like flash mode and flash boot mode,my boot loader is locked(when i was flashing with Emma,it showed my phone is locked),pc companion giving no help,failing to repair my phone or update,i know my phone software is corrupt.please help me to fix it by any other way.thank you
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artyomska:
Ok let's see, when you open your phone does the Sony logo comes up?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jagjit777:
yes it shows sony logo and turns off !
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artyomska:
Good then. So I understood you already have flashtool. Firstly download this (http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/general/stock-rom-xperia-z-c6603-10-5-1-0-292-t2943618). After that you go to the flashtool folder, and find the firmwares folder. Copy the ftf file there. Open flashtool. Be sure you have the xperia z drivers on your PC. If not you can find them here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2635830). After you confirmed you have the drivers, press the lightning button from flashtool. Select "flashmode" and press OK. Select the .ftf file you downloaded and check all the things on the wipe section. After that, press flash and follow the instruction from the screen (if it's stuck at prepare for flashing, just wait, or if it takes really long, close the program and redo the things from above). Wait until the flashing it's over, disconnect the phone, and start it. It should be like new. :) (NEVER close the program before the flashing it's over. It can hardbrick your phone. Also be sure your phone has over 50% battery. Let it to charge for one hour if you are not sure about that).

If something goes wrong, just ask here what is the problem.

I hope I helped you :)

EDIT: Here you can download flashtool (http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php)

[Xiaomi Mi 2] _Roysten:
Thank you very much M1cha for you excellent work and dedication! I will try this rom immediately.

Can I ask you a question? Where did you learn to mess with the kernel and the firmwares? Did it took long for you to learn it? I have always wanted to mess with these things myself, but I always get overwhelmed with the required knowledge :(
[Xiaomi Mi 2] m11kkaa:
Since there's not much documentation for such things u just have to start doing it and learn everything by yourself.

Also, these projects are too big to study them or trying to find a task just for learning.

The best way is to find a project idea and then u have to work on it until u succeed :)
[Xiaomi Mi 2] SWADED:
Thank you M1cha,

2bad no dualboot and xposed (yet).
[Xiaomi Mi 2] m11kkaa:
Dualboot(the Xiaomi way) works, and TDB shouldn't be used anymore.(u have to wait for G4A).

The information about Xposed doesn't mean that Xposed isn't compatible(it should be), it just means that before reporting any crashes you should disable Xposed and check if u still have the same problem.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] Alecsandru90:
incall working , also quick-boot :D
[Xiaomi Mi 2] mehdoux:
Hi,

You're wrong ;) ! TDB is working (even if it shoudln't be now, GRUB is coming thanks to [MENTION=3530648]m11kkaa[/MENTION]) and xposed is now available for Lollipop : http://xdaforums.com/xposed/official-xposed-lollipop-t3030118

[Xiaomi Mi 2] NightHeron:

[Xiaomi Mi 2] linuxxxx:
Yeah but u should wait g4a ;)

Tdb is not supported anymore because cm policies ask for encryption support, and this feature would break tdb. About xposed we will not provide support or let users report bug if this fw is installed, because it breaks many things

Sent from my A0001
[Xiaomi Mi 2] mehdoux:
No ! I'm not saying that TDB is supported, I wrote that this ROM is working with TDB (even if it shoudln't be because G4A is coming) because I've tested it and it's true.

Concerning xposed, if it's not asking too much, what does this framework break ? Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] linuxxxx:
It "just" replaces the runtime with another one with tons of hacks that will cause huge security issues, then apps will have tons of npe or other fc cuz xposed hacks them for these modules. So when u get a bug andnure running xposed the 80% of times it's xposed, the 20% is a real bug

Sent from my A0001
[Xiaomi Mi 2] m11kkaa:
Before anybody tries to use TDB, I explain why you shouldn't:

You won't be able to format or backup data from CM12 with a TDB-enabled Recovery.(it would backup a empty data folder). And if you will make a data backup of CM12 with a NON-TDB Recovery this backup will contain System1 and System2 data too which makes them really big.

And ofc, If you wipe Data for CM12, System1 and System2 data are gone too.

The reason is that CM12 ignores the data location set by CWM.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] ic2e:
I am having two issues:

1. Installing PA's GApps (Pico) doesn't seem to do anything.

2. USB storage doesn't appear on the PC side.

These are the steps I took:

1. Format system, data and cache partitions.

2. Install CWM12.

3. Install GApps.

4. Boot into Android and play store is nowhere to be found (even when I have tried to apply the GApps zip again).

I have resized the system partition to 1GB.

Any advices, please?

[Xiaomi Mi 2] m11kkaa:
I wrote my own base bootloader for G4A from scratch because CAF's LK implementation is too slow and buggy.

I'm using mainline LK and added a partial UEFI API for loading GRUB.

Mainline LK is very good and is in active development. It has a memory manager, virtual memory support and will even get SMP(multicore) support in future.

Don't know if it is same google (intentionnally ? ) bug, but habitually to solve this, as explained elsewhere, i install the DisableService (from google playstore) and uncheck CheckinService in googleplay services. (before i have enable root for application in developer's option).

If you disabled CheckinService did you had any audio bug?

Is working on the last build from M1cha ?

Yes last build (20150322) with full modular package of gapps (http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900). First call i made : no mic and no audio then i disabled CheckinService and its ok. I was having a bug in the 20150302 : when i was connected wifi at home, when i was leaving and disconnecting wifi, i loose call and data (exclamation point) so i need reboot. I didn't test if this bug is still there in the last build. Except this, i like the smoothness of this rom, thanks m1ka.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] acastrocab:
M1cha you should take a look to the mobile networks im 99% that there is a problem with them that is causing battery drain.

In the screenshot you can see that it appers that wifi is on but i turned it off when i left home and with the airplane mode that supposedly turns off all the mobile networks incluiding wifi

Another bug that i found is that i cant turn on manually the android battery saver but i think this is cyanogenmod code related problem..

(Doesn't matter to me though, MI-2 is only a secondary phone)

Anyway, having even an unofficial CM12.1 build keeping the device alive is already great :thumbup: I'm just kinda worried about what would happen when M1cha one day decides to depart, since he's the only one that compiles CM for now (not counting those on our Chinese forums who adds in all kinds of sh!t for profit).

Hi again, [MENTION=3530648]m11kkaa[/MENTION],

I intend to build a CM12.1 build without worrying about how stable it is at the moment (I like to experiment with the latest stuff). According to the official guide for aries and another guide for the Nexus 6, I've set up the environment and did a full "repo sync" with success. However, at the step "breakfast aries" I got this:

$ breakfast aries
including vendor/cm/vendorsetup.sh
ls: cannot access device/*/aries/cm.mk: No such file or directory
build/core/product_config.mk:234: *** Can not locate config makefile for product "cm_aries". Stop.
Device aries not found. Attempting to retrieve device repository from CyanogenMod Github (http://github.com/CyanogenMod).
Found repository: android_device_xiaomi_aries
Default revision: cm-12.1
Checking branch info
Default revision cm-12.1 not found in android_device_xiaomi_aries. Bailing.
Branches found:
cm-11.0
stable/cm-11.0
Use the ROOMSERVICE_BRANCHES environment variable to specify a list of fallback branches.
ls: cannot access device/*/aries/cm.mk: No such file or directory
build/core/product_config.mk:234: *** Can not locate config makefile for product "cm_aries". Stop.

** Don't have a product spec for: 'cm_aries'
** Do you have the right repo manifest?

It looks like the official CM repo doesn't have the manifests needed for CM12 yet, let alone CM12.1 (and not even staging/cm-12.1!). So where can I grab the manifest (specifically, for CM12.1), and how do I add it?

Thanks in advance!
