[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giuseppe Petracca:
I am modifying the source code of AudioSystem.cpp which is part of the mediaserver process. I am trying to add code to write to the sdcard but I have a permission violation.

Apparently, the sdcard can be r+w only by root which is the owner and by processes with GID sdcard_r.

How can assign this sdcard_r GID to the mediaserver process?

Thanks in advance ;)

Hi. I just got an S5 Active (sm-g870a)...Running 4.4.4. I seem to be having trouble figuring out which root method works for this, and I don't want to risk bricking my phone by trying a method that I'm not sure about. I tried TowelRoot on its own, and it didn't work. Can I get a little nudge in the right direction, please? I'm just looking for a guide for the method that's confirmed to work for my phone.

I think it is better this way. google just wants to make sure it works for all the older devices first because they already know it works fine on the nexus 6 and nexus 9. Wasnt there some big issues on the first release for lollipop for these devices?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurboFool:
Considering the Nexus 5 had some massive problems that needed the bug fix, while meanwhile the Nexus 6 is getting NEW, dedicated features, the release order makes perfect sense to me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurboFool:
I'm not talking issues of Lollipop being unfamiliar. I'm speaking of ACTUAL issues, such as the memory leak. Trust me, as a transitioner from the 5 to the 6, Lollipop runs far better on the 6.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
Actually would make sense for N4 and N7_2013 to come at the same time (could yet...) -- they have the same SoC.

Trust me, as HAVING a nexus 5, the thing is ROCK SOLID.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurboFool:
Awesome for you. Would be great if your experience was universal. I loved it, but the memory leak was terrible, and performance was randomly an issue. Again, the Nexus 6 is a much smoother experience overall which is why it's not quite as vital to get it pushed out ASAP.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I've never had this memory leak issue. The only issue lollipop brought to my nexus 5 was even worse microphone issues. I can only get the microphone loud enough with build.prop edits.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
Heh, an older phone I had, Samsung Relay... lots of people with microphone issues. The solution was to scrape the guck out of the microphone pin hole.

But we do very much notice that the hammerhead is *extremely* sensitive to how you hold it. Sometimes my wife can be talking on it, and I have to interrupt her to tell her to hold the phone different, then I can hear her again.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntholifeV2:
Hello , I would like to put my flash counter to 0 with triangle away, I have an S4 i9505 with CM12, but the problem is that it flash the kernel, but never restarts with options to reset, I have to manually restart the it boot normally, I do not understand ..; HELP
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntaresOne:
Hello,

Our device doesn't have flash counter. That's the Knox warranty void flag, once becomes 0x1 can't return to 0x0
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntholifeV2:
The famous AntaresOne that meets me. It's an honor. Knowing that I have your rom :p . Thank you, but I do not understand, triangle away is supposed to furnish the counter to 0? But it's not happening, yet s4 is compatible. I read everywhere that it is possible to reset the flag to Knox warranty void 0x0; I do not understand :( Sorry for my english :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Some versions of Android available on the S4 had a bootloader that did not utilize the Knox security software. The devices with this bootloader had a counter that would show how often the device's firmware was flashed. This is the flash counter that Triangle Away refers to, and it could be reset with that app. When the new bootloader with Knox was included, the flash counter was removed. In its place was a new counter, what we call the "Knox flag". On devices where the firmware has not been altered, it would read "0x0". Devices that have a custom kernel, recovery, or ROM installed would have this new counter change to "0x1".

Unlike the earlier flash counter, the Knox flag cannot be reset by any software available to us once it has changed to "0x1". This means Triangle Away is useless if Knox is involved.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntholifeV2:
Your explanation is very clear! Thank you, you believe that one day this kind of software exist? There to be a way to with what we do today, right?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The Knox flag is an "E-fuse", located within the CPU. One person on the forum here claimed that his Knox flag was reset, but the reality is that he more than likely had his motherboard replaced. If I were Samsung that's what I would have done. Regardless, the only way to restore the Knox flag to 0x0 would be to somehow rewrite the bootloader so that the flag pointed to a different E-fuse than the one that was tripped. In short, that's not happening.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntaresOne:
I didn't explain about flash counter (on the pre-Knox bootloader) since was already clear that with you Triangle Away didn't have success (supposed that you have root otherwise you can't use at all that app, this can only mean that you are on Knox bootloader)

Like the other user said, once we had a bootloader with flash counter that was removed on the Knox one. Until today, nobody had success into resetting it due to the eFuse used inside the SoC (once it is blown, its value can't change anymore).

A impossible (because on top of the SoC there's another IC) operation would be to phisically swap the SoC (with non-blown eFuse) from another motherboard to the one with Knox 0x1

Recompiling the bootloader (removing the fuse check) may be a good option, but Samsung doesn't give bootloader source code. :p

Clearly you didn't bother reading the thread. Resetting the Knox flag cannot be done.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wisefreakz:

Read the thread, and you'll answer your question.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wisefreakz:
I don't think you quite understood my question... wasn't talking about Triangle Away.. i knwo and understant it is useless as the counter is eFuse wise.

I was asking if there is a replacement for the Knox program - as I am among the ones with burned eFuse.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If I misread your question, it's likely because no one has ever asked that question before. In answer however, as far as I know, there is nothing to replace Knox.

A lot of work still needs to be done. Is anyone with Android Dev/Bluetooth experience willing/wanting to help me with this? I need some help ASAP. Comment or Mesg me brad@iAppleDev.ca if interested.

[MENTION=4528461]shii[/MENTION]takeo released his alpha APK https://twitter.com/shiitakeo/status/575713237091516416

:) yeah progress!

Shiitakeo's apk works good so far so I removed mine for now.

Guide

Down load the alpha apk wear_ios https://twitter.com/shiitakeo/status/575713237091516416

Install android SDK on your computer https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=tools

Use adb to install the alpha apk. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xdR4VVHHU-8

Download LightBlue - Bluetooth Low Energy by Punch Through

https://appsto.re/ca/o2AoH.i

Open settings on both the watch and the iPhone and click forget Bluetooth device for iPhone and watch for both in both.

Open light blue on iPhone make an blank peripheral don't add anything then check the box to turn it on.

Open wear_ios on the watch and wait for them to auto connect then keep waiting till it asked for a code to pair iPhone, enter the code with iPhone and wait until it finishes connecting. ;)

Working/bugs

Shiitakeo alpha apk info - ver1.0

Auto Connects and pairs with pairing code to iPhone

Notifications are sent threw ANCS GATT

Notifications work on watch

Notification icons for common apps work

Connects both Android + iPhone same time then the watch has full networking and Google now etc.. but then two phones :(

Some users have random disconnects every 2hrs

Have to forget and re-pair Bluetooth sometimes

Not able to reply to notifications or calls

Not able to use apps that use networking

No networking for voice commands

No Siri on watch

If your having disconnect issues try reset the watch to factory then install only the alpha from [MENTION=6499164]shiitakeo[/MENTION] https://twitter.com/shiitakeo/status/575713237091516416 and try again you can't be using another ancs.APK on the watch just [MENTION=6499164]shiitakeo[/MENTION] apk :)

Hi there [MENTION=4426344]iAppleDev[/MENTION]!

First of all let me congratulate you for being the first dev to provide a beta for achieving the impossible!

You are writing history.

I know that XDA member [MENTION=2011359]MohammadAG[/MENTION] and twitter member [MENTION=4528461]shii[/MENTION]takeo are working on their own solutions as well.

I am offering my help as a beta tester - just not right away because i have no Android Wear watch at the moment, but i intend to purchase one ASAP.

Some questions:

1) Is there an app for the iPhone? The download link you provide only points at an .apk for the watch.

2) Does the iPhone need to be JB?

3) Which Android Wear watch would you suggest?

Thank you very much for your great work.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] FearL0rd:

Nice! I look fwd to your efforts.

Im not an android dev but I quickly dove in yesterday to see if I could use [MENTION=4528461]shii[/MENTION]takeo's alpha on my LG G Watch R. It works sporadically but it's encouraging that It's possible to do. I love the G Watch R, just bought one for my birthday, but I'm a core iphone user, so I installed Android 4.4 R2 as a parallels virtual machine in order to initialize my G Watch. That's better (and freer lol) than having to buy a smartphone just because I like a watch!

Note: of course I will be getting the apple watch!!! But I'm sort of a smartwatch afficionado (good ones that is). I have the 6th Gen Nano, a pebble, and the G Watch came just in time before I decided on getting a Moto 360. One thing I wont do, however, is own two android smartwatches simultaneously. or for that matter, two of the same experience.

Ok Im done talking!

I'll beta test for you if itd help. I'm subscribed to this thread.

Hello, i couldn't find any threads about this.

I have a Nexus 6, rooted and on a custom rom. And I can not get the PayPal Here card reader to read any cards i swipe.

-the program works fine

-phone recolonizes the card reader when i plug it in.

- does not read cards.

What i have tried.

Tried it on a Note 4 stock rom not rooted and it worked fine.

Tried restarting phone

Tried with WiFi on and WiFi off

Tried with and without GPS

Any suggestions or is anyone using the Paypal Here app on a non rooted phone and is getting it to work?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ignignokts_ghost:
Mine works

I just received my card reader today from PayPal. It's working fine. Sent over $1 successfully. I think either your reader or your phone's audio jack are having issues. It may be because I have mine OEM unlocked. I haven't rooted it though. I'd see if you can get a replacement card reader first.

EDIT: I misread your post and didn't realize you're running a rooted and custom ROM. It could be an issue with hardware support in the custom ROM. I'm willing to bet that the ROM is the issue. I'm running stock Android that has been OEM unlocked. See if you can contact your ROM's developer(s) about this. The Nexus 6 audio jack should work with the card reader like it's a microphone.

I have no experience with any card readers at all but the main difference I noticed in your description of the 2 phones is that the Nexus 6 is rooted and the Note 4 isn't.

Your stock recovery is overwriting cwm you need to be rooted and then delete or rename the following files:

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

You can then flash recovery without it being overwritten.

Is there a way to backup or extract my current O2 UK Rom? I totally srewed my motherboard last time i tried to use another rom on my xda orbit as it wasn't cid unlocked. doh! Anyway i've had my motherboard replaced by O2 and was planning to get my device CID unlocked and install another rom but i would like a backup of the original O2 UK Rom just in case it all goes pair shaped.

XDA Atom Backup

1. Run an upgrade (until the first screen where it says extracting... blahblah) without connecting your phone into your PC

2. Open the directory C:\Windows\Temp

3. you will see all files needed for upgrade including the fresh clean ROM. (they are hidden so you should set your folders setting to view hidden files.)

4. Save your personal settings on your phone using standard backup software like Spb Backup or Sprite Backup.

5. Now you're ready to flash your device!

Hello XDA, I have a problem regarding the Moto G xt1032.

So I managed to successfully flash the "Retail Brazil 5.0.2 Stock ROM (Optimized) v1.1a" and didn't like it. It was a tad buggy, and some things were still in Portuguese.

So I powered off the phone with the intention of instead flashing the UK untouched retail version with the latest TWRP. Of course, however, I wiped absolutely everything first, /system, /data, etc.

Then I noticed that my device didn't show as connected. It didn't show at all on my PC, despite the little beeps my PC gives out to confirm that something has connected via USB.

I urgently need this, as I need to adb push the .zip to my phone for it to begin flashing.

I really need help on this one, I'm a major phone addict and this is like going cold turkey!
