[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CodeKiller87:
I'm going to be working on a friends phone to help him recover photos that were accidentally deleted on his phone. But first I need to root it to gain usb mass storage access. I wanted to know if; one, his phone can be rooted safely; and two, what I have to do to gain USB Mass Storage access when I connect to my PC. I've heard that rooting and having to flash different firmware by flashing the bootloader permanently erases NAND memory so if his photos are recoverable they will be destroyed, is this true?

He has a Verizon Galaxy S4 SCH-I545

Android version 4.4.2

Kernel Version 3.4.0 dpi@SWDD6215 #1 Tue Nov 4 23:03:49

Build No. KOT49H.I545VRUFNK1

Please help me help him I don't wan't to ruin his phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hightower24:
The thing is the bootloader is locked. The best we can do is root and use safestrap to flash TW roms. You can achieve root for nk1 using this thread:

So the option of using Odin is out of the question?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hightower24:
I think odin is required to achieve root using that guide
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CodeKiller87:
Do I have to flash a TW Rom? I'd prefer if I could to just keep his stock firmware or as stock as possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hightower24:
No need to flash a rom if you're looking to stay on stock. If you were wanting to flash custom TW roms, you would want to downgrade back to nc5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CodeKiller87:
So the NC5 and NK1 Stock Kernels are not considered ROMs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hightower24:
Kernels are not the rom. Think of them as everything that is under the hood of a car. They keep everything running. The rom is what is inside the car (stock roms being the base model and others allowing you to pick options to spiff it up).

I am running the latest CM11-20150223-NIGHTLY-sprout. I move to configure sim cards then deactivate the sim-2. Deactivation is successful. But it continues to receive phone calls and messages even data too. Tried rebooting, factory reset and every other option I could. I found the same problem in the stock rom too. Is this specific to Android One or is a common problem across all Mediatek chips?
[Micromax Canvas A1] Deepakx263:
Hi

Deactivation doesn't work for me either however you could use multisim toggle app link- http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-multisim-toggle-t2830647 download and install the app.Do note that this app only disables sim 2 And you could enable it.Tested on micromax canvas a1 running CM 11

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osiris231:
I have recently been taking control over the permissions I allow with certain apps with the use of App Ops starter that was included with my LG G3 Android 5.0 update.

I have noticed however that since I have disabled certain permissions for certain apps the battery usage for those apps intermittently skyrocket to using 30% in under an hour at random times. This often happens while the phone is idling and with those apps not even open in my task manager.

Some examples would be disabling the location data for apps such as Facebook's "Messenger" app and also games like Wooga's "Diamond Dash". Google's default "Maps" app is also a culprit after disabling access to contacts/phone.

My guess would be that these apps are stuck in some loop constantly checking for the information they no longer have access to.

Can anyone comment as to having similar results? Can anyone make suggestions as to possible things I could do on my end?

I have tried to re-enable the permissions to verify the results however as this is not an issue that affects the battery constantly but only intermittently I'm unsure as to whether I am right in my assumptions and there was one instance where I had re-enabled all the permissions for Facebook's "Messenger" yet it still consumed significant amounts of battery while being closed and the phone in it's idle state.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adraemond:
I am now positive what my issue is. I have TWRP v2.8.3.0 installed which causes ADB to need verification which I can't grant as I don't have a OS. So, what needs to be done is downgrading to v2.7.1.0, however, I am having troubles doing this as I no devices show with fastboot devices and adb devices often shows no device, offline, or unauthorized.

[General Questions and Answers] varxtis:
Recently there has been a few teasers regarding Windows 10 for PC, Tablet, and Phones. Pretty soon the Galaxy S6 will be coming out and since I'm already a Samsung customer, my initial thought is to go with that... But when I think about windows 10 and its possibilities, it makes me reconsider. So I have some questions. Please understand that I know Windows 10 is vague so far, but hopefully some of my questions can be answered based on existing windows phones/tablet

One of the strongest reasons I'm considering Windows 10 OS (PC, Phone, and Tablet) is full immersion and connectivity. Currently Im able to use my Samsung Tablet and phone to completely control my computer, transfer files and connect in other ways. Since my computer doubles as my entertainment center, this is necessary.

Question 1.) It sounds like if you get a Windows 10 Tablet you'll be able to use the Tablet as a secondary controller and screen for XBox One. Does anyone know if this is true or not? Is the feature also expected to be part of Windows 10 Phones?

Question 2.) Up until now Ive avoided Windows 8(.1) and iOS like the plague... so I'm only familiar with Android. Android has allowed customization to the screen layout with app shortcuts and widgets. They apps and widget are how I control my computer like I was talking about earlier. That said, does anyone know how many apps are cross platform? and I just mean a general ballpark idea based on experience, like 60% or 85% or something. Is there a way to find out if a particular app is available on windows?

Question 3.) For now, I'm sure most answers to this next question will be speculation, but does anyone know if the screen customization for windows 10 phones will be as it is for current windows 8(.1) phones? Will they allow shortcuts and widgets instead of rubix cube tiles?

First of all thank you for this amazing ROM. It's perfect for my needs.

With clean flash, oxygen modem, no xposed & stock kernel i found few problems:

- For me screen off gesture for flash is not working, but for camera is working as expected

- Also for options to disable privacy guard notifications, it still show notification. So for now i need to hide it one by one.

- And the last thing, i don't know if it's from the ROM or anything else. But for me the cLock widget font for the clock is too small, even after i resized it.

I hope you can take a look for my problems, if there's anything that i can provide please tell me.

And also i have a feauture requests to have options to disable power menu in secure lockscreen. Like the options for quick settings.

Other than that, eveything works perfectly and i believe this is the perfect ROM for me, no FC and very stable.

If you are working on updating the kernel, please consider adding sound tweaks to boost speakerphone. On the OnePlus One the speakerphone volume is really low when using it for a phone call, and the tweak in AK kernel helps it.

I love your ROM, but unfortunately have to use to with AK just because I need this tweak.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptrV1:
So it's my first time setting up multiple profiles, helping a friend with kids. Was able to create regular and restricted profile, it all works properly, but it seems all the photos that were originally taken is still on the main account :(. After a bit digging, I learn whenever a new profile gets created,a separate user folder is created in /storage/emulated, and no account has visibility into any other profile's folders (which would be great, under other circumstances). so without rooting and using terminal to create a symbolic link between the profile's DCIM with su credentials, I see no way of having all the profiles use and view the same picture album(s).

Is there a way to have multiple profiles with a shared camera album? Either my Google-fu is bad (and I should feel bad) or no one ever wanted/needed this type of setup, for Google or a third party to provide a solution. If anyone could help me, provide an alternative multi-profile/parental control app that also accomplishes this, or tell me it's not possible, it would be truly helpful.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unix4linux:
I purchased a Nexus Player the other day and rooted the device. Did all sorts of cool things for testing to see how I'd like to get a final setup going. Once I had everything set, I decided to catch a movie on Netflix. After choosing a movie, I hit play and the movie starts to load. However, right when it got ready to play, the screen started to flicker green. I backed out and tried again but same green flickering.

At that point, I tried to cast from my phone and tablet to the Nexus Player and still got the green flickering screen. I then tried to just play something from Netflix directly from my TV's Netflix app to see if it was an issue with the TV or the Netflix service but it played fine.

So, seems like the Netflix app was broken on the Nexus Player. That's when I decided to try Google Play Movies on the Nexus Player. Same deal... Screen flickers green when I hit play on a movie. I then tried to cast to it and still get green flickering. If I cast to the Chromecast on that same TV, it works fine. So, I thought "ok so looks like video playback is broken on the Nexus Player" .

Wrong again! I tried the Hulu app and YouTube app directly from the Nexus Player and those stream fine. Looked like only Netflix and Google Play Movies apps were broken. So I uninstalled the apps and cleared data/cache but still the same issue.

I unrooted and did a factory reset but still got the green flickering. I checked for updates but I was already updated. I returned my unit thinking I had a defect and when I got the new one, I tested again. This time without a rooted unit. Before I did an app update on the new device and fresh out of the box, I tried Netflix and Google Play Movies. Same deal...green screen flickers when I hit play. So, I then proceed to update Google Play Movies and Netflix since they had updates available. Still the same issue.

With that said, the two units (rooted and stock) have issues with those two apps. I called Google for support and we got up to level three support. They suggested I try to exchange it one more time and now I have a third unit with the same issue on those two apps. Still green flickering. Even my HDHomeRun works well streaming live TV to it.

I don't know what to do at this point. Is anyone experiencing these issues with Netflix and Google Play Movies on their Nexus Player? Any other suggestions? I switched the HDMI cable and even the ports. For what it's worth, my TV has HDMI 2.0
