Is there any way to have a 4 digit pin as a backup password instead of a 6 character password?

I want to use the fingerprint for unlock but not always..i prefer to type a 4digit pin and having a keyboard with only numbers is easier i think

Any way to change it?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leto78:
Many people have a similar situation where you are wondering if you should keep stock or install a custom ROM on relative's phone, who is not a technical person.

I am wondering if it is better to keep the latest stock Android 4.3 on the Nexus (European version) or if I should upgrade it to a very stable almost stock custom ROM?

I will only be able to provide "maintenance" every 2 months.

My main goal of installing a custom ROM would be to keep it updated with the latest security patches, not so much to have the latest version of android running.

Is it so bad to keep 4.3 running on a phone when its user doesn't really need 4.4 or higher feature?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gtsip:
As you said, custom roms are more updated on security patches. Another reason that custom rom is better, is the additttional features offering. I have installed on many friends of mine custom roms without having any issues. On the contrary, if they change smartphone, they are seeking for those features on their new phone. When they realize that those features were custom things, they disappointed. The most custom roms have less bugs than the official build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LamarrCZ:
I would definitely recommend to flash custom ROM to your Nexus.

Our phone is really good maintained by our developers, so you can choose from many custom ROMs.

They will provide you more performace, better battery life and some nice features, that stock ROM can't offer you.

My personal option is the CM11 with custom kernel (Fancy, Franco or any other).

Don't try Lollipop ROMs now, because they are still unstable and have some bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eyad_996:
I had the same questions. Now though, after actually using a custom ROM I can confidently say that custom ROMs are the way to go.

The Galaxy Nexus wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for custom ROMs. They keep us updated to the latest android versions and not only that, but the features they add become essential to how you use your device.

And you're blessed to have a Galaxy Nexus. It's so easy to install custom ROMs on nexus devices.

Now that I've used them, I can't use my phone without them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AvidPhisherman:
[MENTION=4350822]leto78[/MENTION]

I say go for it! Just make sure you evaluate the knowledge/needs of the end user first, and let that guide your choice.

Example 1 - you're looking for a ROM for a not-very-tech-savvy user, so you need it to be as stable and problem-free as possible. You'd probably be best served by a 4.4 ROM that's been out for a while and has a long development/history of improvement.

Example 2 - your end user is reasonably tech-savvy, knows their way around Android and knows about the different versions, and also knows not to freak out or call you yelling "you broke my phone!" if there is an issue. In this case, check the known issues/bug reports for the 5.0-based ROMs and pick one with the fewest "daily driver" related issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nukedathlonman:
I agree with use of an aftermarket ROM just due to the frequent updates and security fixes the stock ROM isn't getting. All the aftermarket ROM's I've tried are solid for stability. If you want to stick with stock, I do recommend rooting it to address a couple bugs.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !crazy:
Hi,

My brother has some issues with his phone (Moto G 2013, not dual SIM, not 4G) in the last time. The phone is quite unstable, so I recommended him to flash custom recovery, and eventually custom ROM.

The question is which one? This is not ROM vs ROM thread. I do not wont to compare ROMs. Just aks people for they personal experience. If anyone could recommend a stable (his/her personal opinion.) ROM, or comment lolipop, should I got for Kit Kat ROM or Loli (He still hasn't received the OTA update to Lolipop.).

I have tried to research a bit and find out for my self what would be the best option for him, but the task is not so simple, and pretty time consuming. Strange how everything, from rooting to flashing seem so complicated when one looks at the forum, when one actually only has to unlock the bootloader, fastboot flash recovery, and flash the ROM of personal choice (Here I need a bit help : )).

I hope the question is ok, if not... sorry in advance.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jevinruv:
the stock lollipop optimized version by lost101 + XT1032_Retail_BR_502_Optimized_v1.1a + greenify + xposed + gB is brilliant running smooth , battery life is great :good:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !crazy:
What is +gB? All general functionality like camera, sensors, GPS work normal, and stable?

Bit unrelated question about lollipop, is there a way to expand the notification card, like message or Google now card in notification bar? When I try to do that on my phone I only get the part with tiles (configuration shortcuts.)...

Thank you for your answer!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jevinruv:
+gB meant - Gravitybox (this is killa app my personal favourite :D )

yes everything works bro, yes its stable (its stock)

link - http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3017510

expanded notifications it is

, yeah you can find so many tweaks on xposed -
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !crazy:
I really didn't expect to find so many xposed modules in so good shape so fast! And you mean they all work, even gravity box!

Regarding stability, I have found many people complain even about official OTA updates. My brother also has serious stability issues with offices stock original, not rooted ROM on his Moto G, so stock doesn't always has to mean stability. People often root and start using custom ROMs because issues with stock.

But that's another story ☺. Thank you very much for your recommendation and very useful input. You have saved me a lot of hours of reading mostly useless stuff. I will definitely make make him flash what you recommended ☺. He was a bit afraid first when he found our he is losing his warranty when he applies for a device number, for unlocking the bootloader, but I remind him that his warranty is anyway not valid any more, and now we are about to proceed with unlocking, flashing TWRP, and this Lolipop ROM you recommended.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jevinruv:
hahahaha, I've been flashing Roms and kernels to see which would suit me best, and I found this amazing stock ROM with amazing battery life.

Cheers :)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattwmaster58:
If you want half-bleeding edge ROMs than Dirty Unicorns is quite good with a big load a custom tweaks HOWEVER, I found resource management (RAM mostly) on Dirty Unicorns was . . . less than satisfactory and battery life was average-not great. If you want an up-to-date and almost-as-many-tweaks-as-dirty-unicorns then Exodus is the way to go Rock solid, fluid and quite compatible with custom kernels.

Oh, and about kernels. I cannot recommend ZERO Byte kernel enough. Great battery life, even with slight overclock (meaning better performance) and supports underclock (battery save 2 extreme!)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BryanByteZ:
If him want a stock like and rock stable try AOSP+OMS.
[XDA Assist] CookieThief:
Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus (p6200) | CM 12 unofficial updated to feb 14 (daniel_hk) | stock kernel | rooted

what is the recommended cpu and gpu settings for my device? it seems like other people testing the rom are not experiencing much lags and hangs.. especially when I updated the rom to feb 25, so much hangs... Factory reset (wiped cache, dalvik and data) then flashed rom, factory reset again, then reboot. I overclocked cpu to 1400 with default voltages, and all default in gpu.
[XDA Assist] Heisenberg:
Hi :)

Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. The recommended settings are the stock settings, that's why they're the stock settings. But if you want to tweak it a bit I think the best place ask your question is in the ROM thread here:

Save your time, it does not work
[ZTE Blade S6 Questions & Answers] YahyaTV:
Fake, infinite surveys so the webmaster earns $'s depending on how many surveys a user completes.

Although I too not have found a successful root method, the closest I've been is to install SuperSU beta and booting in recovery mode.

However since there is no custom recovery for the ZTE S6 at present, you are unable to "install from Zip".

Once this is available, we should be able to root.
[ZTE Blade S6 Questions & Answers] aouni_tahech:
I'm also hoping that someone would help us root our phones. I believe it's easy now since the kernel image is released?
[ZTE Blade S6 Questions & Answers] El_Nino9:
i've come across this root method for the LG G3 running Lollipop.

http://xdaforums.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772

maybe it'll work on the Blade S6.

i don't own one yet. i would need it to be rooted.

i think once it is rooted, someone will make the effort of porting a custom Recovery for this device and maybe more developers will buy.

i think this is an amazing device for the price. Android 5.1 will be amazing on this as its built for dual sim but i don't think ZTE will bother.

need custom firmware.

Plus there are some people out there that do not trust ZTE or any other Chinese manufacture for that matter and say they contain spyware. for all those that are worried about that a custom firmware such as a pure AOSP port would get rid of those doubts i guess. personally i don't care about such things
[ZTE Blade S6 Questions & Answers] aouni_tahech:
Thanks. Why would think that an Lg root method will work for Blade S6 ?

I'm not a developer, but just wondering...
[ZTE Blade S6 Questions & Answers] El_Nino9:
only on the basis that both run on lollipop.

i'm not aware of any lollipop exploit yet.

[ZTE Blade S6 Questions & Answers] YahyaTV:
Over at Mondaco forum, a recognised developer claims to have made a modified stock recovery for Blade S6.

This seems promising, and legitimate compared to everything else I have come across yet so far.

However, the recovery is still experimental and untested/unverified.

If someone is prepared to experiment, hit him up here: http*goo*gl/E2Kj5K
[ZTE Blade S6 Questions & Answers] aouni_tahech:
Great news! I'll contact the dev to test his method! Hope it will be released here soon.
[ZTE Blade S6 Questions & Answers] aouni_tahech:
I contacted the guy yesterday and I did the tests, but it seems that the phone bootloader is locked! So until ZTE provides a way to unlock it, there will be no root or custom recovery!
[ZTE Blade S6 Questions & Answers] luigioottoo:
Goodmorning. Any news?
[ZTE Blade S6 Questions & Answers] YahyaTV:
Unfortunately, nobody has had success as far as I know.

The problem originating with the fact that ZTE has chosen to implement a locked bootloader, therefore all traditional techniques of CWM and custom recovery will not work.

Unless ZTE decide to offer means to unlock the bootloader, it's unlikely we will get root.

All the existing guides for supposed root access are fake, I've tried pretty much all claimed methods and none work.

??

want to know if it is worth it ? because it seems they recommend to reset the phone after update is installed ! (which is a bit weird in my opinion)
[ZTE Blade S6 Questions & Answers] Pogba:
Yes version b10 does seem like a good update. For me, it has improved battery life, phone does not overheat as much as before and also you can control when the blue light comes on. ( you can set it so it does not pulse when charging or if battery falls below 15% also you can set it so it does not turn on whenever you touch the screen). It also seems as smooth if not a little smoother than before.
[ZTE Blade S6 Questions & Answers] wwatfa:
did u need to reset the phone ? is it a necessary step ??
[ZTE Blade S6 Questions & Answers] Pogba:
After each of the updates I have done for this phone, so far it automatically restores your phone to factory settings. After each update I have done a simple reboot of the phone (ie press power button...then reboot). If by restart you mean factory restore, I have not done this and the phone works perfect. As I mentioned , when you do the update it automatically restores your phone hence it deletes everything on it prior to the update. Just do the update, it is a very good update particularly because 1. Better battery life 2. Phone does not overheat 3. you can control the blue lights.
