[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] :
I'll look at but I don't have the g variant to test. I remember Dr ketan posting in one of his threads for the g about needing to set default access to grant with lollipop. Might be worth asking him or searching his thread. I can try making another base and implement root differently see if it makes a difference
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Er. Aditya:
that happened only with siper su 2.46 everything sorted with 2.49 :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Rabbit308:
Guys, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your dedication and support with this stuff - awesome!!

I'd be happy with an un-rooted BOC6 deodexed build. Rooting seems fairly straight forward as there's tons of information available, it's the deodexing that loses me.

I'm starting the search for 2.49 now. If I can find it I'll test and report the result. Hopefully I can save someone else the countless hours of fumbling around.

Cheers

try flashing this bro

SuperSu 2.49 flashable
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Rabbit308:
HA!

I found and installed eu.chainfire.supersu-2.49-249-minAPI7.apk and now for the first time in weeks I have a superSU prompt.

Excellent!!! thank you guys sooo much.

It does seem a little slow to prompt but it works properly, I'm happy with that.

now... Nandroid backup, quick.

...moving right along to Xposed...

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4ndr0id:
I've narrowed this down to possibly a hardware issue since I've gone from stock 4.4.4 rom, to custom firekat rom, to now stock lolipop and the result is the same.

When using speaker phone, or conference calling (such as skype), my microphone is completely muted. To my understanding and according to this link, The note 4 has 3 microphones. The one at the top near the audio jack is the one used when using speaker phone and I believe that one on my phone is broken.

My questions are, has anyone else ran into a similar issue?

Has anyone repaired the top mic on the note 4 and knows exactly what to look for, or what part to order?

Is there a program that can switch default mic as per program, like how you could in windows if you have multiple audio devices running?

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andromendous:
Hey all, i just got a one plus one, i came from a nexus 5. Well, the first thing i noticed with the oneplus was my signal is just jumping up and down all over the place. Now, im not really sure if its a big deal yet because despite the LTE signal in the status bar jumping up and down, i still have service and everything seems to work. But, if i go into settings and check the dbm it is fluctuating, maybe from 89 to 95dbm. Now, if i recall correctly, i believe my n5 would do the same, but my lte icon wouldnt be jumping up and down all the time, even when just sitting in one spot. What do you guys think? Just a icon glitch? Or do you think its the phone?
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhcrco:
I get message on Motorola site that says no to getting unlock key.

MOTO E, bought from Walmart

US Retail Phone;

Android version 4.4.4;

Baseband version MSM8610BP_1803.346.31.00R, TRAC_CDMA_CUST;

Kernel version 3.4.42-g6bc7ff3;

System version 21.12.40.confor_tacfone.trac_cdma.en.US tracfone;

Build number DXC21.5-40.

I have spent many days trying to get some java apps to run on my phone and discovered this whole world of phone development. I am in the computer industry myself and am a Linux Administrator besides having a number of Microsoft and Cisco certifications. I have followed many steps so far in this process but seem to be stuck at the point of getting the bootloader unlocked. I thought that I caught wind of maybe flashing the memory with a different image to get around this. Is this most likely the path I will have to take now. I did try to get the Moto key on two different computers.

What is the next step if Motorola doesn't give unlock key. THANKS

[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnetboard:
If you can't unlock your bootloader, then either you have to wait until someone finds a way around it or leave your phone the way it is.
[Galaxy S6 General] B1aze:
Another tip, if you want to get rid of that small delay in the home button, disable the double-tap quick launch in the camera options. It's a neat feature, but I like my snappy home button more.
[Galaxy S6 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Thanks. Keep em coming!
[Galaxy S6 General] moot1:
Really great tips. I was unaware of the themes option. I hope someone makes a theme that is more in line with stock android. I kinda hate the colors Samsung choose for the dialer and the menus.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jamboozlez:
S5, too?

Lots of these seem to be applicable to the S5 also, although I guess due to the categories on the XDA forums, there'd be no way of sharing it between the two devices easily.

Great tips though! :)
[Galaxy S6 General] derWolf_:
One more: when you are in an app (Chrome, Gallery .... whatever) and you drag your finger from the upper right corner to somewhere in the middle of the screen the app shrinks which makes it more usable with one hand (I wouldn't call it one-handed mode, because.... well it isn't, but feel free to name it as you wish) :)

My favorite discovery is that you can get to the flashlight without having to unlock the phone (when you need the flashlight it's usually dark and you need it right then without lots of fumbling).

You can pull down the notification area and if your flashlight is in the quick setting buttons you can access it there (and some other settings like mute etc). For some others you may need to unlock the phone.

On the S3 it always was a hassle to get to the flashlight with the phone locked. This is just awesome.
[Galaxy S6 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Agreed,I freakn love the flashlight in the notification shade.
[Galaxy S6 General] ozzie1p:
Any way to tie ring tone and notification volumes together?
[Galaxy S6 General] mindchip:
I am going to be setting my S6 Edge up very similar to how I have S4 currently set up.

Using Apex Launcher, and using the gestures as much as I can.

This keeps homescreen free of clutter, and icons.

Swipe-Up: launches Google Now

Swipe-Down: Pulls Notifications down (just don't hide the notification bar, and you don't have to reach all the way to the top to pull it down)

Double-Tap: Launches your Messaging app. (I use EvolveSMS)

Pinch-In: Launched the Gallery.
​

I also use Quickly to launch apps from the notification panel, but with there was a way to make the icons smaller and fit more than 4.

I also use Zooper widget mixed with Popup Widget to launch apps, and get rid of Icons on homescreen.

Hotspots within my Zooper Widget are:

1Weather widget

Google Calendar Popup Widget

Launch Gmail

Launch Cloud Magic

Launch App Drawer

Launch Google Play Music Widget

Launch Endomondo Popup Widget to quickly see my Heart rate while working out

Launch Clock
​

It took a few days to used to it, but my homescreen is nice and clean. ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] Jrhoop:
Here's one, probably not specific to the SGS6 that i just found - go to the dialer, and press the green dial button. It will load the last dialed number. Voila - now you dont have to type it in again. Useful if you didnt get through and need to redial.
[Galaxy S6 General] kinghu:
This is probably not new but I've just accidentally found that you can swipe the Samsung weather widget up or down to check another city's details.

Useful if you want a quick check on your saved locations without having to go into the weather app and scroll.

Works best if the widget is 4x2 but does work on 4x1.

Actually it is all 4 buttons. When you are in a bootloop all 4 buttons will be the only thing to get you a reset. I just checked again and confirmed that just power and volume down does not give a reset. However power and volume down will give a power down but not a reset.

Camera AF and AE

In Camera --> Auto (Normal) Mode Focus, long pressing on a area will lock the Focus and Exposure (AF/AE) to that point.

In Camera --> PRO Mode, long pressing on a area will lock the Focus and Exposure. Pressing on the area again will separate AF and AE, each of which can be moved independently, to suit preference.

When in Pro Mode, you can set different area for Auto Exposure & Auto Focus Lock. To separate exposure area and focus area, tap and hold the area to focus.

Tips

Background Processes

In Developer Options you can increase your background processes, I have it set to 4 so that my apps don't constantly reload while switching

Developer Options - (All the way down) Limit Background Processes - 4 processes at most

-------------------------

SOS Messages

Once set up, triple pressing the power button will send a location, front pic, rear pic, and sound recording to a selected contact. It does all of this without showing any screen notifications. I doubt I'll ever actually use it but it's a good piece of mind to have.

Privacy and Safety - Send SOS Messages - Turn on and set up your contact

--------------------------

Camera Modes

While in Camera, go to Mode and scroll down. The Download icon will take you to the Samsung app page for more camera modes.

My favorites are Surround Shot, and Dual Camera

Surround shot allows you to take a 360 panorama that is viewable like a globe in Gallery. I use QuickPic and it also allows you to look around your surround shot by moving your phone around like you were actually there.

Dual Camera takes your front camera pic and puts it as a stamp on your rear camera. So you can take a selfie and a pic at the same time.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
If you flash Alliance Framework you can do that. You need to be rooted for that tho.
