Is there any way to get ahold of a dev?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I don't know honestly. I know of devs but not for this device. I know one who hard bricked his device with the 4.3 update and moved on completely from this device and onto Nexus devices

Well I didn't see any nexus devices under prepaid and I'd rather not go under contract. Do you think if I got a kernel from someone running 4.4 but it's older then my own, and flashed it via Odin, that it would work? Like remove the patch and be exploitable by towel root again? Or you think it'll just brick?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] landshark68:
Brick.

I know its been awhile since i last posted here but just telling everyone i have found a root method to obtain root on 4.4 with the new kernel dated on or before july 22 2014. I used the kingroot app. Just one click and got root. Not sure if kingroot and kingoroot are the same but i just used the king root to get root. I tried kingoroot and it fails. Any ways best of luck to everyone.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Spades2006:
I have a 32gig flo, I was running 4.4.4 with TWRP and ElementalX kernel. I tried to flash 5.02 with NRT and it all went wrong. First, while flashing it got stuck at the bootloader screen - pics / screenshots here. Then I realized the bootloader was locked, so I tried to unlock the bootloader with NRT and it got stuck in a boot loop. I pulled battery and tried the “Flash Stock + Unroot” feature to go back to stock 4.4 and the command prompt came up and said it was successful, but it's stuck in another bootloop, and now I can't even get back to the bootloader menu. I didn't use force flash mode and it said to try that but i can't get to that point. am I screwed? :crying:

edit: got into bootloader menu, used force flash mode and it's stuck in a boot loop again.

[P3600 Software Upgrading] Baronic:
Heys, when i bought my trinity, it came with this nifty sms input where a virtual keypad appears (like when u dial a number to call) and u can type messages like u would a normal phone. i found this method of input exceptional, sincei can type with one hand, and its so much faster and easier cuz i'm used to it. But after flashing the cooked wm6 rom, the input method disappeared!! and after flashing back to the ori wm5 i didnt get it back! I need it!!!

ANy way i can get it? Dont mind paying for a commercial one, though i believe this input is by Dopod so it shud be free? please....help. If u know the download link from dopod's site please share it with me cuz i cant access the dopod website, dun ask why.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister-B:
Hi There,

I am trying to change the boot animation on my Nexus 4 running Android 5.1 Stock. The device is rooted. I have tried with various apps to change the boot animation on my device (Boot Animator, Boot Box).

None of my efforts have worked. The only thing that has happened is that the coloured balls on start up no longer show. My boot Animation at the moment consist only of the Android logo. If I try to copy a bootanimation.zip file to System/Media, I always get the error message "Operation failed".

Has anybody any ideas?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Behemoth:
Check out this bootanimation - https://www.dropbox.com/s/k63gn2cvyif47a7/BootAnimation_Marvel_Flashable.zip?dl=0

Its a flashable zip. It works. Open it up and see what you are doing wrong.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bladebuddy:
Make sure you have full root , make sure you're root file manager is mounted to write files in system.

Check bootanimation zips permissions are set correctly rw-r-r.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rikimaru123:
Easy, download a flashable bootanimation (.zip), open recovery and flash it.
[Sony Xperia E3] Drudoo:
(was directed to this forum from the XDA Assist)

I'm very new to Android (been using iPhone since its release) but i got a Sony Xperia E4g as a gift from my carrier and I would like to update it to Lollipop or root it and get something like MIUI on it. This that possible?

I would like to get rid of all the Xperia software and just get a clean Android install like Nexus phones have.
[Sony Xperia E3] Vynikal:
Mediatek chipset --> no custom ROMs for you, deal with it
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
sony released source code for xperia e4 and e4g so thare are custom rom,s and kernel,s
[Sony Xperia E3] Drudoo:
Could you provide any links and/or guides?
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
source codes

http://developer.sonymobile.com/dow...source-archive-for-24-0-a-3-8-and-24-0-b-3-8/

http://developer.sonymobile.com/dow...a-1-3624-0-a-1-37-and-24-0-b-1-3624-0-b-1-37/
[Sony Xperia E3] Drudoo:
Alright, think of me as completely android noob. What are these two links about ? How do they help me with getting lollipop on my phone? I am not expecting a one click install, but please point me to a guide.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
you can think of source code as a raw materiel of android kernel.

which you/someone has to compile to get a kernel which you can flash on your device.

and you can modify raw meterial to do anything you want to do with your kernel.

for example disabling system write protection (sony_ric) adding custom recovery(cwm) overclocking ,undervolting etc.

and if you get enough experience you can port lollypop or cynogenmod12 to your device.

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

developers uses source codes to develop rom,s/kernel,s
[Sony Xperia E3] Drudoo:
So what you are telling me is that there are no custom roms or lollipop available for my phone as we speak?
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
they are not available now but soon they will be available because source code is up.

and sony will release lollypop for e4 and e4g as they said.
[Sony Xperia E3] Drudoo:
Thanks. I'll just have to wait then. :)
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
sure just wait,

sony is developing faster than any developer on xda so you can expect lollypop before custom rom,s.
[Sony Xperia E3] Vynikal:
:eek: Woah! That's surprising! I thought only Android One devices got MTK sources.

Btw mtk still sucks, lol :laugh:
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
I think mtk no longer sucks.

Mtk devices won't have source code cause most of companies that are using mtk are not releasing source code.

Like micromax never released sources.
[Sony Xperia E3] XMoDuLeSx:
i got an E4g it's really fast with good battery life,maybe the faster device in that price.

Soon costum roms will come out and prerooted stock firmware :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia E3] Zedgor:
Did sony realeased source for e4g or only for e4?
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:

[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
Sony said they are releasing e4 with kitkat and they will be updating it to lollipop.

That all i know. Maby said for both e4 and e4g.
[Sony Xperia E3] pinoquio:
cwm, twrp

Hi all there!

Well I got me an e4g as well and I'd spend some time working on cm. Actually I've been looking on the partition table a bit to get cwm or twrp running as a first step but I got stuck there as I could not figure out where the recovery partition resides. Therefore I'd like to know if someone already started working on that and if someone has / or knows where to get a stock rom. And as a last question has someone tried the chinaphone / MTK backup from SpaceX with e4g?

(Sorry cannot post link here :( )

Cheers

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randy6644:
I decrpted my phone right after i got it. And since then , i'd been messing with different roms until I flashed CM 12.1 again. All because i forgot CM forces encryption. And now i'm stuck, I don't want to go back to stock to decrypt my phone. But i guess the way to decrypt requires the boot.img in accordance with your build. But since i'm not on stock, How can I decrypt my phone again. I would prefer performance, or what rom should I flash to get the best performance (smoothness) without forced encryption.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Go here > http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/mod-disable-force-encryption-rom-kernel-t3000788

Follow the instructions in the OP. And remember to do "fastboot format userdata" after you flash it. This will wipe the contents of your SDcard and do a factory reset on your ROM.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randy6644:
Yep, thanks. I found it yesterday and i can confirm it works.
[Galaxy S6 General] kemo6600:
Since there is no thread or guide for what to safley disable on S6 , i thought to start a new thread so we can start helping each other .

Threre is a Debloater app by gatesjunior that requires no root and can easily disable unwated app wihout removing them for non root phones , it works with S6 without any problems , it can even disable apps that you cant disable from app manger and can easily create your safe to disable app list with few clicks

[Galaxy S6 General] hpsauce37:
Can you advise me what the point or gain of all this is? I mean had it doubled your battery life or is there some other reason to it?
[Galaxy S6 General] Giocarro:
Very interesting thread, and thanks A LOT for pointing to that great application that works - unbelievable - without root.
[Galaxy S6 General] kemo6600:
That is correct , hence we are using PC based software and i was surprised that it actually works .

Yes , Carrier based will always have extras , i am on international version.

Less Junk = more free memory and longer stand by time , most of these apps are useless and some of them will always run on background even if you don't use them so it is easier to disable them , There is no such thing as double battery life.
[Galaxy S6 General] hpsauce37:
I do realize that you were not going to double your battery life... I was simply suggesting if there was any real point or significant gain to it.

My phone sleeps like a baby with all the apps disabled on my list. I'm pretty conscious about what I install and let wake up my device as well. Every once in a while Google Play Services decides to do it's thing like it's prone to do....

Last night over a span of 8 hours of sleep my phone lost 4% The only culprit is a kernel wakelock (~10-15 minutes over 8 hours) I can't seem to pin down
[Galaxy S6 General] kemo6600:

[Galaxy S6 General] lizaSB:
I believe weather daemon is what gives you weather on the lockscreen and in the TW accuweather widget. I have that disabled because I don't use it and dont want it pinging my location

I don't know what flash bar service is, but I have disabled that one.

I believe bcservice is related to the radio somehow. Anyway, I wouldn't remove that one.

Freezing context service made s browser force close on start
[Galaxy S6 General] kemo6600:
after some looking found that it is related to multi windows .
[Galaxy S6 General] lizaSB:
I actually like that feature. I didnt realize I had broken it though!
[Galaxy S6 General] lizaSB:
After further testing, multi window doesn't appear to be broken at all. I was worried maybe pop up receiver being disabled was also causing issues, but then I realized only certain apps support multi window. When I refroze flash bar service and pop up ui receiver, everything is still functioning normally after a reboot.

I think flashbar is safe to freeze in relation to multi window, at least on the w8

Edit: accidentally a word

[Galaxy S6 General] abthegreat:
Hi,

I blocked all the packages you mentioned, but i keep getting a TouchWiz has stopped working message and my home screen keep re rendering its contents every 4-5th time i goto the home screen back from an app.

I didnt block the ones for the weather widget, could that be the issue. btw i am on the 925F
[Galaxy S6 General] lizaSB:
Not blocking something shouldn't cause a crash... Did you freeze anything else besides my list? Is it touch wiz home that keeps crashing on you?

You could always try enabling apps until it starts working. Titanium backup is nice for that, but you also have a list to go back to if you find the culprit. One way you could figure it out is to enable everything all at once just to make sure the issue is with a frozen app. Alternatively maybe your data is bad. If you don't sea loss you could try wiping the data of touch wiz home first.
[Galaxy S6 General] abthegreat:
I have done this before with AT&T Note 4, Surprised to see touchwiz home is crashing every so often randomly, I have followed your list almost 1:1 except for features i needed. I do have a list and did also do the enable all and start over thing. It could also be an issue that have my animations off. Turned them to .5x and havent seen the message yet.

[Galaxy S6 General] kemo6600:
Are you getting this with APK or any files , if it is with apks then make sure that unkown source are allowed and your download is not corrupted.

The real point is cleaning your app list from anything you don't use , the gain only if some of those apps keep running in background and consuming your battery and ram ,,, if that is the case then you either debloat or keep it dead with servicely
[Galaxy S6 General] godutch:

Newbie

Hi,

I'm running the S6 Edge and I'm new at this.

Just wondering what you actually use your device for as I can see a number of items that I thought I needed to run my apps.

I did root my S4 and found it worked so much better but I'm scared as I'm a bit out of the loop with such things these days and there are SO MANY MORE processes running now!

I keep stopping/disabling running apps all the time and see my CPU is still on 75% and wonder what the hell's going on.

Any advice (in basic language please) would be appreciated ?
[Galaxy S6 General] TheAtheistReverend:
Your best bet is to either list what you use, and hopefully someone can answer about what not to disable, or disable one process at a time and use your phone for a couple days or so to see if it has an effect on your usage. Re enable it if it does and move on to the next thing on your unknown list.
[Galaxy S6 General] micr0g:
Hello guys, i debloated WanamLite Rom with XtreStoLite as (debloater) base.

I lost the Samsung sms app,does anyone know the name of the apk so i can push it back?

Found it : SecMmms_Delight_Open
[Galaxy S6 General] xXx:
I would suggest to use the Google Messenger app which is available via Play Store. I like that much better than the orig. Samsung Messenger. Or you download the XtreStoLite addon installer and reinstall the Samsung Messaging app from there.
[Galaxy S6 General] kemo6600:
Most of the apps will give FC in such rare cases , also the idea behind the list is that you don't fall in such situation , i am getting 98% deep sleep overnight with wifi on , only down side is that i am rooted now and i am having many bugs with Debloater app and cant test anymore

There is no such thing to explain each apk , you either guess it or google it or disable it and see what happens .
[Galaxy S6 General] gpvecchi:
It could be interesting to say what freezed apks do, or what they refer to; just to make everyone decide if remove or keep them...

Hidden is what you want. The hidden apps wont be able to start up on boot. As for the processes that are still running, you need to kill them or reboot the phone.
