Root Access

I successfully installed the ROM on my SGH-T889 and it work fine, I have been using it for a week now all seem perfect. The only issue i have now is that root access is not available and i cant find it under developer options (I had to install Super User from play store after ROM install but still no root access). What do I do pls?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murti52:
You have to flash the superSU zip file and then install the app from the play store...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voak:
Thanks for replying. I flashed the SuperSU and installed superSU app, root checker shows am rooted and es-Explorer was able to copy and delete files in the /data folder (Root explorer: On). The only issue is i cant find the toggle in developer options. Do i assume that all is well or there is something else i need to do?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murti52:
It is there in the developer options... But i guess its not visible...The developer has mentioned in his latest post that the root problem will be fixed in the latest build...

I observed that none of the modules i install worked. I have two modules installed, minminguard and networkspeeddetector but none is doing anything. Am i suppose to do anything else after installing the Zip?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murti52:
Yes, after installing the zip, install the app that i have attached. After that open the app and you have to activate the modules by ticking them.. Reboot and the modules should be working.. If you have done this and still the modules are not working then check if the modules are lollipop compatible or not.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voak:
I solved the issue by unchecking the "disable resource hook" checkbox. I dont understand why it is so, but it works.

I dirty flashed build ver 20151013 and it works fine But flashing the xposed framework.zip previously suggested causes boot loop. Is the build not compatible with xposed or is there any other one i can use?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voak:
Resolved: I installed xposed framework v75.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robin Son:
What changes did you make to get Xposed framework to install
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voak:
No particular change was made expect installing v75. Lower versions do not work or cause boot loop.

NB: Make sure your phone is rooted before installing it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robin Son:
Xposed works with cloudy rom but is it me or is it different with every rom:confused:

I ask because it was different on the Lgg3 vs note 2.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voak:
What is the actual problem you are having? Is xposed working for you on wilson's (this) rom?

Quick Question Gapps

Hello, I'm new to installing custom ROMS, my question is:

1) Do I install Gapps for Android version 5.1(Lollipop) or 6.0(Marshmallow)?

2) Is this custom ROM based on both CM 12.1 and CM 13?

Hey Guys!

I have a problem with my G6-U00.

I buy this phone in China and I live in Europe. When I turn on GPS there are no Satellite logo on the status bar and the phone get no signal. Can I gaet any solution? (like: Update with G6-U010 ROM or something?)

Thank You, xewier.
[Huawei Ascend G6] TheET:
Proble solved for me

Hi,

I have had same GPS issue as you and I found, that only way to solve it is change firmware to STOCK BUILD: G6-U00V100R001CHNC17B193.

This is original Chinese version, which is working very good for me. After installing I had to solve little problem with Google Play, but it was minor problem.

Unfortunately I forget where I downloaded it, but Google will help you.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] korval:
Hi guys,

I really hope someone can point me in the right direction here, I'd really appreciate it!

I've never had to ask for help before with flashing one of my devices, and have flashed hundreds of times with my previous phones, S3, S5 and Note3 .. However this one has me a bit stumped. I have the Note4 N910F and I see many awesome LP ROMS seem to require that you flash stock 5.0.1 via Odin before flashing the custom ROM.

I managed to do this successfully with the ROM listed at Sammobile called "Unknown 5.0.1	N910FXXU1BOC3	N910FTPD1BOC1" - Everything is OK, boots perfectly and I have cell signal and LTE. Rooting was also a non-issue. The problem I have though is that no matter which custom recovery I try, and regardless of ROM that I try, all seem to get stuck in a boot loop at the Samsung screen.

Am I doing or have done something horribly wrong?

Please help! :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] korval:
I think I may have answered my own question. The stock ROM I flashed was BOB3, it seems I need to be on BOB4, which is the German based ROM. Busy downloading that now!

Why can't you flash custom rom's with BOB3 installed?

Been using my Nexus 6 for about two days now and, while I love the ever loving begeezus out of this phone, there is one HUGE issue I have a problem with. Sadly, it's not even Google or the phone's fault, it's my carrier. Using AT&T, for some reason, they thought it a good idea to block the update until June. Now I know that I can manually install the update myself, but I have yet to find a method that is, for a lack of a better word, idiot proof and actually works. Other than that, this phone is freaking awesome!
[Nexus 6  General] GuestK0087:
If you're 100% stock, just sideload. Very easy.
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
1) Where did you come up with "June"?

2) https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
Use nexus root toolkit, it's idiot proof
[Nexus 6  General] jley22:
I second this motion. I had been out of the mix forever. That tool is a lifesaver. So easy to follow, and there are tons of video guides on youtube on how to use it.
[Nexus 6  General] cornelious2:
Adb sideload requires no unlock is just a hair above idiot proof
[Nexus 6  General] tdunn014:
This worked on the new Nexus 6 I just picked up at AT&T last week. It immediately notified me with the 5.1 update.

1. Backup your Nexus 6 (go to “settings” >> “backup & reset” >> select an account to back-up by clicking on “backup” and selecting the account you want to backup)

2. Remove your SIM card

3. Reset your Nexus 6 (go to “settings” >> “backup & reset” >> “factory reset data”)

4. Restore your Nexus 6 during set-up but DO NOT insert your SIM card

Make sure to connect to your Wifi during the setup process and leave the SIM out. It should prompt you with the system update. Also this method prevents the few AT&T bloatware apps from installing as a plus.

You don't even have to sideload to get 5.1 from Google OTA, in your case: link

[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
I think you will love the phone once you get your hands on one. Camera ain't like the note 4 but it's up there it's better then supposedly the older nexus devices which honestly I never owned so idk.

Battery is good there's plenty of development on this device and what's great that it's universal through out all carriers, here's a battery stat from my usage but everyone uses their phones differently.
[Nexus 6  General] toledodj:
Tried this method. It didn't work for me. I even left the sim card out for a half an hour, still nothing.
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
Camera is leaps and bounds better than any nexus
[Nexus 6  General] toledodj:
Yeah, I tried it and it didn't work. Even waited thirty minutes before putting the sim back in

[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:

[Nexus 6  General] toledodj:
Update: I'm finally running Lollipop 5.1. I just sideloaded it using a video tutorial.
[Nexus 6  General] ooofest:
Did you actually do a factory data reset of the device? Removing the SIM didn't work for me until actually resetting the phone.

- ooofest
[Nexus 6  General] toledodj:
Yeah I followed the entire process to the letter
[Nexus 6  General] ooofest:
That's really odd - your experience is the first I've read where a 5.0.1 Nexus 6, with SIM removed and then factory data reset, wouldn't pick up the OTA (via WiFi) soon after it booted up and went through setup. Guess it's not foolproof.

- ooofest
[Nexus 6  General] toledodj:
Well, I wouldn't say foolproof. I didn't buy the phone from the play store or Motorola. AT&T probably has the update blocked in more ways than just the sim. That's probably not the case though
[Nexus 6  General] jley22:
Either way, every Nexus 6 phone is the same. If anything, the only problems you could potentially run into between the different carriers is needing to flash a specific radio to make sure you're set up correctly for AT&T. Everything else can be fixed the same way it is for every other carrier because the phone is the same. There are no Verizon Nexus 6's or AT&T Nexus 6's, they are all Motorola XT1103's.
[Nexus 6  General] toledodj:
Well then my best guess would be that the update hadn't appeared after thirty minutes, but it would've eventually. I just wasn't willing to leave my sim card out for too long
[Nexus 6  General] jley22:
You know, I didn't fully read through the whole thread before I posted that. I bought my Nexus 6 through the Play Store, and activated it on Verizon. I only received the 5.0.1 update, and then it said my phone was up-to-date for the next day. I then unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, rooted the phone, and installed a custom 5.1 rom with no issues whatsoever. If you don't want to lose the stock feel, you can still always go with the stock roms that are out in the Android Development section. Essentially all I'm saying is I don't think I was going to receive the update from Verizon, but it didn't matter anyway, because I installed a custom 5.1 rom. I would go that route for your update.
[Nexus 6  General] toledodj:
I already have the update lol. I sideloaded it. Pretty easy process
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paco_ramirez:
Hey everybody!

I've noticed that browsers are at the top of the battery drainer based on new lollipop battery stats. Do you? Even if I use a browser for some minutes it takes the top of the battery drainers and takes up to hours of background connection. This happens with chrome pre-installed browser, Firefox, opera, lightning.... Any idea about this? How to avoid these consumption in my battery? Even with greenify they kept at the top.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paco_ramirez:
Thank you very much for moving to the correct place and sorry for putting in the wrong side.

Any idea about this?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lingowistico:
I honestly haven't noticed. I only use S-browser and it's the #3 drainer in my batterystats, right after youtube on #2 and screen on #1.

But I've honestly never used the browser as much as I have today, so it doesn't have to mean anything.

I do know that battery life is slightly better for me with lollipop than with kitkat.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paco_ramirez:
It's the same for me I note I have a better battery performance but I just want to know why it's so strange the way they rank the apps according to the draining. I've installed gsam battery monitor and the stats there are quite the same as they were in kitkat. Then my question is... Which of both is more accurate?

According to the gsam one browsers consumption is not that much and it's between the ones that drains normally. However lollipop monitor reveals the totally opposite... So f ally... Browsers are draining so much as lollipop says? Gsam monitor seems to me more trusty but I don't know in fact

Thanks

This was missing in the flickr album. Long exposure 1/4, 1/2 or 1s shots. And please use flickr so we can see exifs easily. board attachments and imgur strip exifs out. I notice the phonearena samples have no exifs in them at all.

Though i have to say i like this one. Just enough silhouette to set the mood.

ISO 80 and 1/40 WHAT!!! for late afternoon Seattle in winter. I can't tell if its HDR or not.

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

Taken with VSCO cam, ISO 50, 1/268. So ample light.

Also used flash. Sharpness is set to soft.

A nice photo.

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

Note 4 is ISO 400, 1/10

M9 is ISO 640, 1/14

About half a f-stop difference.

What if the M9 tried to get that with ISO 300 ie ISO 200 +0.3 at 1/7 ? or go slower still ISO100+0.3 at 1/3 ? can't do these tricks with the note, slowest it will get is 1/8 and then its auto night mode kicks in which did not happen in this picture. S5 & note 4 have improved their low light capability over their predecessors in auto but i bet you can come close to matching it if not exceeding it with manual on m9.

Light in this shot is quite low btw.
[One (M9) General] One Twelve:
That pair is not as important as you think it is and that applies for all with good light.

Where this 'trounces' occurs is in low light. I've already said what needs to be done.

with macros yeah i would because there is no difference there. I've seen three year old devices do excellent macros. Hint: macros are not a good demonstration of what the latest camera can do.

The only real innovation we've had in sensors is BSI over the last two years. More sensitive in low light. You couldn't do that with 2013 devices, m7 was the sole exception. The rest is processing, how much of it or lack thereof.

On a more general level the trick with these devices is to know when to compromise and when to be maximalist. There is no perfect device so what you end up with is what you can tolerate over what you cannot do without. Every device has this trade off. Unfortunately you are alone with making this decision. Unless you are lucky to find others whose requirements match yours closely. Now do you see why i said minor. its minor in a larger context.

no tricks. calling it straight.

i don't trust auto.That on some devices its always flawless is a myth. auto goes wrong even on dslrs. what will you do then ? blame the device or your own ignorance. better to understand why and what went wrong and then fix it. and you can.

What i'm sensing here is an unwillingness to do so. That is something else.

That does not make what i said wrong. Its up to people here to provide that data. particularly low light with manual.

Its right because i've seen the same done with numerous devices already. This is how cameras work. They need light.

Give them that and you get a good shot. simple.

---------- Post added at 10:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

actually i should have said your tests were pointless and it was a waste of my time to go through them. test the note 4 in low light with manual in m9 that's what you should have done.

I wanted to see manual being used in the low light. You've got no excuses when the camera provides it. If you can't do that then its your problem not the m9.

bad auto does not mean bad camera. bad auto will be fixed. The Z1 took 3 months to get it right. What did people do, the lamers whined whereas the rest got busy with manual and got good shots from day 1.

make up your mind or sell.

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

Show me smudge in daylight, i want to see how much. actually link the shots.

All the low light shots have the m9 using high iso in guess what auto. The reviewer did not even try manual and blurred one of the shots because he could not hold a 1/7.

Do you realise that to display on a HD device you only need 1MP or on a full HD it only takes 2MP. Anything more than that gets resampled.

You don't let facebook or anybody else resize it you do it yourself then upload wherever.
[One (M9) General] One Twelve:
Look, you're not helping me, i'm helping you to help yourself as well as others in this thread.

And i'm pointing out why there were inadequate. They do not add anything above what reviews are saying.

I did not bother going through the imgur stuff since there are no exifs to see there. Assessing image quality let alone commenting without exifs is pointless.

auto shots are average x average, is this what people base their opinions on ?

manual means you take a test auto shot then see whether you can improve it in manual. That is how you will exceed what the reviews have shown and we get to see the best this camera can do. This is what any owner that wants to improve and exploit manual is going to do over time.

Why someone would not want to improve his shots is beyond my comprehension.
[One (M9) General] nebulaoperator:
I just looked at images and they look really good. I am surprised M9 managed to capture that pristine detail I never seen before. White balance too looks so great not like previously green tint that was all over images.

One thing I am not able to find is camera data in adobe bridge and also colour space is untagged. That usually happens when photo being stripped of exif data. Have you by any chance gave some editing to them?

Thanks
[One (M9) General] nebulaoperator:
I agree with a pack that camera should perform to the best on auto. If it doesn't , software has to be optimised if it's not then it's engineers faults Or hardware limitations.

it applies to the majority of the smartphone photographers . People want point and shoot.Even being enthusiast photographer and love digging my camera and phone camera I hate when auto underperforms when I simply want to take my phone out of the pocket and shoot.Every enthusiast can tweak but that defeats AUTO purpose .

There are average performers good and very good. Unfortunately M9 is not very good.Good ? Maybe....if light is favourable...at the moment it is consistently weak in certain situations. The usual wash out reminded me of the spill that when lets say camera lens gets in the studio shot or outside and for this purpose hood is used . This is one of the speculations I come up with. Somehow HTC phones consistently suffer from that. Could be they have same team of engineers that can't find the key to successful Software optimization or not so decent hardware just guessing here. Being visualphile that particular trade off with HTC devices just kills me.
[One (M9) General] One Twelve:
.

I've seen this issue with other devices. xperias camera software was never quite ready at launch. Lots of bashing. Took them a few months to get it right. Mostly auto. Then shots come out with lower ISO which you could have got yourself if you tried. Image quality is better now. why ? iso is lower. So if auto is taking high iso then low iso will get you a better shot.

So when people say camera is not working its auto. No other issues i can see so far. They will fix it but in the mean time if manual settings are tweaked you will get the results you want today. Most do not know how to do that or worse do not want to.

General advice i give to people who cant take photos is go with the koreans or apple. if you want more then look at others.

First time i came across an iphone camera after seeing the usual controls in nokias and android was wtf do i do with this. Some shots can't be got with auto. when there is no access to manual then you are stuck. take it or leave it. its only a phone camera, you're not supposed to do anything more. Who said so ?

Many people take shots and figuring out who is at fault is a tricky business. Of course the tendency is to blame the device but the person taking the shot is the most responsible, always.

Low light with auto. From what i've seen consistently boosts auto up. There are even night modes which to date i've not seen anybody even try. HELLO!

So auto is not picking these modes for some reason. Its a bug. But if you set it yourself then what is the result. Much better i bet.

A lens hood decreases lens flare and saturates colours. Take a shot in shade of a sunny area. If you're getting lens flare then its clearly user error. Not just with this device but with any. I would just use my hand out of camera to block some of the light or avoid unwanted reflections. Here is a good example

https://www.flickr.com/photos/palmsolo/sets/72157651089646798/with/16274675233/

cloudy day, massive light box in the sky. Colours are all rich. Which is best. i cannot tell :)

interestingly enough the low end devices suffer less from this problem because the sensors are not as sensitive. They can take good shots in awful bright light which would be washed out with more capable sensors. Not much use indoors though.

The ones typically from what i've seen blow out the sky. They are a little more quirky in getting those blue skies. Overexposed. HDR is one way to do it but it can be tricked also. i remember this work around from the m8 forum where this guy pointed close to the sun to lock exposure and then recomposed back on the scene. The picture was remarkably better. You don't have to do this all the time only in certain situations.
