[Galaxy S6 Edge General] drakon.us:
While transitioning some old Apps (FuelLog Pro) from my other Android phones onto my S6 Edge, I discovered that some of the apps needed to use a 'menu' key to backup/export. Obviously no way to add a menu softkey without root, SO I figured out how to do it from ADB.

Once you connect your phone to ADB enter the following command for the 'menu' softkey:

adb shell input keyevent 82

The 'keyevent' relates to various keymappings, annoyingly, the keymappings for the Samsung are a little different from standard Android, which is why I'm making a record of it here.

So far it looks like HOME, BACK, CALL, and Volume follow standard keymappings. I'll update this list if I spend more time digging and find other differences.

You can find the complete list here:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html

This is super useful for running batch commands on Apps from the computer as well.

Use wisely.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] sherifbmw:
Thanks, can we replace the long press on the recent apps button from dual windows to menu key?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] whitepaw:
I really don't understand where the problem is with just pressing the menu overlay button?

For old Apps without the new Material UI I always get a round overlay button which is acting as a Menu button.

The new one don't have these as they integrate this button themself.

I have not found any app yet where I'm not able to open the menu.

There is no way (as far as I know) but also no need to replace the long press with the menu button.

Menu button is not needed anymore.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] drakon.us:
I have several apps that don't have the round overlay Menu button (including the aforementioned app, FuellogPro). Mostly it is apps that were written about 2 years ago that got stuck between KitKat and JB. I have quite a few paid apps, so I keep using them (and modifying them) even after support has ended.

You can only reassign the button to 'menu' if you have root.

I don't know if this is related to the recent Google Play Services updates or not, or if this really came from Samsung or not. But the options are definitely gone and were there when the phone was first released:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1rC3Pne6YD1bHFRc2ZXRm53RmF1T2NjUmZLX3J0TjhMWE93/view

Normally you'd see the options for using it from any screen and using it while the screen is off and charging, and those options were definitely there when the phone was first released. There's a Note 4 user on G+ that might be seeing the same, but hasn't confirmed for sure yet.

Edit: I'm on the Verizon variant, but have seen a few others that are not Verizon seeing the same thing.
[Galaxy S6 General] Finagle69:
It's gone for me as well. ATT variant.
[Galaxy S6 General] Averix:
It seems to be a widespread problem. People aren't noticing it since it was an option not everyone turned on. Those that did are missing it and pissed. The fact that the Retrain Voice option is missing makes me believe this is more an error than deliberate, but you never know.

[Galaxy S6 General] drwbry:
Sprint. Gone for me now too. I used this all the time too.
[Galaxy S6 General] stanfna:
it makes me wonder if there is some sort of security concern. like the ability for someone to walk up, say OK Google and then say a command that could execute an unwanted command. like maybe wipe the phone, or email all your money to my account! ha ha

Both are unrealistic examples...but you catch my drift.
[Galaxy S6 General] altimax98:
It wouldnt surprise me if it werent removed due to some battery bug or otherwise.

I'd expect it to come back like the Google Fit support did after an update of sorts
[Galaxy S6 General] JLishere:
Anyone know if the Exynos chip inside the S6 supports low-power hotword detection, similar to the Moto X and Nexus 6?
[Galaxy S6 General] zathus:
Yes it's there and already works with s voice. There was a way to make it work with Google now but now that Google has removed that feature no longer works. To me this is a big deal and needs more noise than it's getting. This was done on purpose not a mistake. Whether was Samsung or Google its jacked up.
[Galaxy S6 General] bikerbrent:
I got tired to working with a crippled phone, so decided to do something about it. I did a little research on the internet and found a workaround. It involves dumping the Touch Wiz launcher. And, since neither Google nor Samsung will acknowledge this as I problem, I was NOT about to use the Google Now Launcher. Therefor, I have now installed and configured the Nova Launcher and now have "Ok Google" working from all pages! It still does not launch with the phone in standby, but at least I have the majority of "Ok Google" restored.
[Galaxy S6 General] eatonjb:
it works from the home screen, but it does not work from anywhere. JUST when you are in nova launcher. So it's not really a fix. Everyone wants it from ANY screen no matter what app.
[Galaxy S6 General] bikerbrent:
Right, it may be just a work around, but at least it restores some functionality until Google or Samsung fixes this issue!
[Galaxy S6 General] frettfreak:
I feel the same. I feel honestly like it was Samsung not wanting competition for its garbage s-voice crap, and worked it out with google. I hope i am wrong but this is samsung and i wouldnt put it past them.
[Galaxy S6 General] nellush:
The problem I had with the setting was if it was on detection for all apps then and hangout video or calls would not work. On my S4 before this phone I had it turned off even though I liked the "OK Google" from any screen.
[Galaxy S6 General] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
That would make sense if this feature was also not working on other TW devices with wake-up S-Voice. That's not the case however, as it works flawlessly on my Note 10.1 2014. What I'm hoping is that Samsung is working with Google to give the Google app access to the cpu Samsung uses in the S6 for screen off voice control. Then we'll have 'ok google' voice controls with no battery drain.
[Galaxy S6 General] frettfreak:
Makes sense! That would be nice for sure. I didnt think about it working on other phones that had s-voice (duh lol). good catch. :good:
[Galaxy S6 General] Miracal:
Love svoice that launches from any screen even the locked one and you can tell whatever name you gave it (could just be 'OK Google') to open Google. And voila you have Google from any screen.
[Moto 360] Reydeen:
Hello everyone, I'm new. Forgive my English. :p

This morning I'm going to turn on the phone and Moto 360, and noted that the notification is vanished from the drop-down menu that shows me they are connected or not to the Moto 360. To find out, now I'm forced to open Android Wear.

Moto 360 firm: 5.0.2

Android Wear: last in playstore

Moto Connect: same android wear

Note 4 N910U firm.....4.4.4 :( -.-

Anyone can help me please? Thanks!
[Moto 360] awionetka:
I have exactly the same problem since today morning. I use Sony Z3 running lollipop.

----

Update: it looks like this is by design by latest Google play services update to version 7.3.
[Moto 360] skyhawk21:
What your seeing is the new results of Google Play services being updated to 7.3.29 I believe. With this new update, if your Android Wear Connected Devices are connected and working fine, the notification auto hides itself. It is though suppose to pop back up when there is a problem between sync and devices but I have not seen it do that.

With the older Google Play Services such as 7.0.99 the notification was always there with no way of hiding it or turning it off.

The new Google Play Services was suppose to prepare phones to be able to work with the new features coming to Android Wear and firmware updates to the moto 360 and other smart watches.

Also there was a bug in the older Google Play Services keeping it always on and a connection always running due to it trying itself to look for OTA's through Google Servers I assume for GPE editions of phones and watches. I think now from watching over the new version on my Verizon Note 3 that it is now fixed and is the last thing always running in the battery rundown list. Before the update and with the older version it was the first in the list for draining battery on Lollipop!
[Moto 360] skyhawk21:
Just as an update to my earlier post, the newer newest android wear is up live on the Google Play store. It has the sync to cloud option so that you can use WiFi mode on smart watch.

Only issue now is we still are waiting for new firmware to enable it on the Moto 360.
[Moto 360] Reydeen:
Thanks for the answers.

Wait for the new version then, as to me it is not yet appeared.

Thanks for the help! :D:D
[Moto 360] awionetka:
Well, on my Z3 the notification does not appeared when watch was disconnected.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] God_:
Title say all , i have a Nexus 5 lolipop 5.1 and i want to full dim 0 my visor . Softkeys inclued.

Need help please.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
If you want to dim the navigation bar (why would you need to?) you'll probably have to decompile SystemUI, modify the drawables then recompile, or use Xposed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
It's not necessary to decompile. As .apk is actually a .zip, you can simply change .png-s inside drawable folders.

But if you use 5.1 it will be much harder to change original SystemUI with yours, because of security changes in system partition.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorgtech:
This one is tricky though since you have to make sure, not to damage the signature. Some PNG use a "special" format and need to be decompiled first --> modified --> recompiled --> injected again in the Framework.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
I wrote this many times: you DON'T need to decompile apps which came from factory image. And even .9.png-s can be simplycomment on this are changed. For example: We wish to change background of power widget. 1. Pull the Settings.apk from /data/priv-app. Copy to PC. Rename it to .zip (you don't need any extra tool for this) or use TotalCommander - you even don't need to rename .apk to .zip with it. We must look for appropriate image (appwidget_bg_holo.9.png in /res/drawable-xxhdpi-v4) inside. Make some regullary png in Photoshop in size and resolution of original one - you can free your imaginations about colors as you like. Now copy the name of original image and with paste rename your own. Put your renamed image into .zip (overwrite original one) and thats all philosophy.

This is possible just with apps from factory image and you will not brake any signature. This works for me since Xperia X10 until Nexus 5 with 5.0.2. On 5.1 biggest problem is (at least for me) that I don't know how to integrate updates of system apps into rom. But if you are on 5.0.2 or above, you can simply try. Just remember to backup first.

Regards, Zagor

P.S. Any further informations are welcome, but at least people try this first. And it's a little annoying to write this down over and over again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorgtech:
Extracting and inserting pictures is not the problem but like I mentioned before, the "9" PNG. If you simply copy them, edit them and reinsert them again, it might turn out to be a mess and these pictures are not displayed the right way. I gave up theming stuff a long time ago since it´s not really worth the trouble anymore. At least if you use a legal Gfx tool ( since I have my doubts that most people own a real licensed version of Photoshop anyway ) like eg. GIMP, you might expect some trouble if you don´t decompile "9" PNGs first. At least I can tell that I had to go through the trouble while I still had my old Galaxy S3 in order to make them usable, the way I wanted them to be :p

I know the procedure, don´t worry ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
As I said: you must not copy and edit existing .9.png. You have to create a new one and just name it with the procedure as I wrote above. So you have to copy the name of .9.png and paste that in the name of your own image. Am I clear enough now?

Forgive me to say, but you don't know this. Sorry. :D

Best regards, Zagor
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorgtech:
I guess you don´t read what I write ? If you want to color a existing image ( "9" ), it will be displayed faulty if you don´t proceed like I did. End of the story. You can replace it with another image you can rename but it won´t be displayed the right way in some circumstances. I´m out.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
Out of what? Space?

I don't guess, I conclude: You don't read or understood what I wrote.

Back to topic: OP: If you want to change navbars buttons (those are ordinary .png-s) you can simply pull them off, modify them and put back into .apk as I already described. You don't need to decompile, compile, undercompile or hipercompile anything.

Regards from Jupiter (yes, I'm also out), Zagor
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
And the last and for all!

This has been done without superduperpuper compiling. Just pure windows and photoshop.

[MENTION=5666997]Elluel[/MENTION], [MENTION=4827892]Gorgtech[/MENTION] and all of the other sceptics: Look at the navbars of attached screenshot and next time, please check the informations before you disagree with them.

Regards, Zagor
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
IMO [MENTION=2965354]zagorteney[/MENTION] is right as long as you do not unzip/extract the apk. If you check the .9.png with a zip viewer then you can see the black border of 1px. Modifying the icon/log/picture without touching the black borders should not create bugs.

Regarding the navbar buttons it's easier as explained above.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
[MENTION=4958579]Primokorn[/MENTION]

I've changed almost all of Xperia S UI on that way, to looks more AOSP. But at the end I figured it out, that it's simplier if I get Nexus. :D

Just to notice you. The problem is because in photoshop you can't create .9.png-s. But if you create your own png and rename it with the mentioned method, there will be no problem with those images either. For example, you can try to change power widget background on this way.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Actually you can create .9.png files with Photoshop. I did it a lot of times.

Anyways all my modded apks have been decompiled/modified/recompiled because you cannot use this method for .xml files, can you? :) Moreover, theming files with a phone is a mess compared to a comfortable destop version of PS lol
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
[MENTION=4958579]Primokorn[/MENTION]

Yes, its true if we are talking about some serious theming. But OP just want to get little different nav buttons. So, I just want to say, that you don't need to change any .xml for that purpose, you don't need to decompile and recompile and you don't need to worry that you'll break signatures. As simple as that.

That's all folks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Yes, I know. Everything is clear on my side :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
At least one who deserves all of those thanx. :D

Hi Folks

I have an LG G3 bought in Denmark. It's running Lollipop 5.0 official, no root.

The Kernel is 3.4.0.

I've tried multiple Alarm apps but they seem to sometimes just not go off. Today the alarm was set to 5:30, and when I woke up, I just did my knock-knock to see the screen and then the alarm suddenly started, at 5:43! It's the same it does with stock alarm and Timely from Google Play Store.

The settings on the phone during the night is flight-mode, plugged in charger, and it's on sound.

Please help me. What can I do?

[Galaxy S6 General] meboy:
This is coming up again and again so I thought I'd make a thread. Hopefully people will see it.

Many/All users are reporting the loss of deep sleep after root and twrp.

You can check to see if your device is going into deep sleep by installing CPUspy.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy&hl=en

Open CPUspy once and then leave your phone in standby for five to ten minutes.

Open CPUspy back up and see if you have anything showing in the deep sleep section. Any percentage means you have deep sleep. Blank means you do not.

You need to flash your Stock recovery.img

You can use an app like Flashify or use Odin.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify&hl=en

You can get your stock recovery by downloading your Stock ROM from one of the links below.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/general/stock-firmware-official-stock-firmware-t3086387

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/search/galaxy s6/

Once you have the ROM in .rar you can extract it like any zip file.

Then you'll have a .tar file. Extract that the same way once more and you'll have folders. The recovery.img is inside.

For Flashify: Transfer the recovery.img to your phone somewhere. Open Flashify and install.

You should now have deep sleep.

Leave your phone in standby for a bit and then check CPUspy again to confirm.

You should only need to do this once after installing twrp. Then you can go nuts with ROM's and still have deep sleep.

It needs to be in this sequence:

root > twrp > rom/nothing > stock recovery > twrp again > then nothing or install your new ROM and you shouldn't need to worry about it again.
[Galaxy S6 General] barondebxl:
If you're rooted with twrp recovery, wouldn't flashing a rom fix that issue?
[Galaxy S6 General] meboy:
According to what users have been reporting so far with the very limited ROM selection we have now..

No. It does not for some reason.

It needs to be in this sequence:

root > twrp > rom/nothing > stock recovery > twrp again > then nothing or install your new ROM
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
I have to flash stock then twrp everytime i flash a rom it seems
[Galaxy S6 General] belloni:
I downloaded the firmware from http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/general/stock-firmware-official-stock-firmware-t3086387 but all it has inside is a .tar? I can't right click and extract that to get a recovery img?

EDIT: Ok I found it inside, but in Odin it needs a different file format? or do I just flash the whole firmware? Sorry for all the questions!
[Galaxy S6 General] meboy:
Just put recovery.img on the phones storage somewhere and use the Flashify app.

That's really the easiest way.
[Galaxy S6 General] belloni:
Worked a treat, phone now enters deep sleep.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S6 General] samwise110712:
found there Philippines (open line)..however mine is from a carrier called "Globe"..will that work for me?
[Galaxy S6 General] meboy:
If you have already rooted, installed twrp and a new rom then you might want to try since you're now sort of stuck.

I would only try if it's the same model, country and bands though.

If you haven't rooted and installed twrp yet then you should make sure you have a stock recovery that will work on hand before you do.
[Galaxy S6 General] hishambachir:
did the flash

but still no deep sleep and i do not have TWRP recovery anymore

should i install TWRP again?
[Galaxy S6 General] meboy:
It should work provided you have the right recovery.img and the flash was successful.

Yes. You need to reinstall twrp after recovery assuming you want to do something with it. Otherwise you could not install it.
[Galaxy S6 General] hishambachir:
I did not find the recovery of my operator but it was the recovery gor 920f

And the flash went without any problem

Still no deep sleep :(
[Galaxy S6 General] meboy:
That is likely the problem.

If it's the Stock recovery, it should have worked.
[Galaxy S6 General] hishambachir:
i made it work but when flashing back TWRP i lost deep sleep

any ideas?
[Galaxy S6 General] Faspaiso:
How many % should the deep sleep me on?
[Galaxy S6 General] Sevael:
It's more of a time thing. For me, whenever my screen is off, the phone is in deep sleep. I can lock the phone, count to 10, then unlock and my deep sleep is 10 seconds higher than it was before.

Depending on what you have your phone set to do (syncing, background stuff, etc), you may not have deep sleep for the entire time that your screen is off, but it should be fairly close. If it isn't, then you have something keeping your phone awake. That's when you get an app like Better Battery Stats (if you're rooted) and investigate your wakelocks. Wakelocks aren't specific to this phone, so there are a lot of guides on the internet (including many from XDA).
[Galaxy S6 General] meboy:
For this specific issue you would have None. It would be totally blank under the deep sleep section if you had No deep sleep.

Any percent means that you do have deep sleep.

If you have some deep sleep but still not great battery life then you can look at wakelocks, rogue apps and such with batter stat apps.

But this is the big one people are having really poor battery with.
[Galaxy S6 General] samwise110712:
Deep sleep worked on stock recovery. However when I'm back in TWRP it won't again.

by the way I installed TWRP first before rooting. Shout it be the other way around? If yes how do we unroot?
[Galaxy S6 General] 0mega1:
Love you.

Was trying to figure out what was causing my phone to not sleep from day 1. Beautiful.

Should do wonders for battery life!
