[XDA Assist] user684:
First off, I want to apologize if I've put this in the wrong place or if something is not in accordance to the rules for posting. I am new to this website and have a bugger of a problem. I would like to edit something in my galaxy S5's SM-G900A settings.db file, but understand being rooted is required to do this. I decided I wanted to too late, and now lollipop and my phone model are the reason that there is not any sort of root for my phone at the moment. I am not willing to backup, downgrade, root, edit, then use a special thing to update to lollipop keep root access. I have read of ADB and JVM and was wondering if anyone could tell me of any way I could gain access to and edit my phones settings.db file on lollipop without rooting, I know JVM and ADB may be viable but I know nothing of how to. Any other methods or suggestions are welcome. Thanks for reading this! :)

Hi all,

which is the latest/best version of Intent Midlet Manager, that will work on Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Pocket PC device, namely FSC Loox 420?

Best I found so far is v10.1.2.76 (Build 20040705) from here:

which is almost three years old.

Thanks,

I made a thread of Quadrant benchmarks

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note/ge...-t3090789/post60360984?nocache=1#post60360984

and some of the results were a bit puzzling. I'm not saying invalid or wrong because in many respects they accurately reflect actual hands-on experience. But I did wonder about the Memory scores and the I/O scores and, in NightOwl, the unusually high CPU scores (explanation of CPU score from bauner in original thread), so I decided to also run Antutu and post the results (in a new thread, for clarity). This will take some time but by the end there should be a set of comparable benchmarks for the GT-N700 running:

Samsung JB 4.1.2 - stock, no 3rd party recovery

CM 10.1.3 (last stable CM release for GT-N7000) - with cwm as shipped with CM 10.1.3

CM 11 latest nightly - with cwm as shipped with CM 11.

NightOwl (Bauner's implementation of CM 12.1 on GT-N7000)

NightOwl (Bauner's implementation of CM 12.1 on GT-N7000) but with raw kernel (currently version r10).

btw there is enough variation between multiple runs of the benchmark that the results for NightOwl with and without Raw kernel can be considered identical....edit: probably!

Hi, would you be making a compilation of ROMs and Kernels available here? I am going to make a benchmark test on Carbon 4.4 with R10 and Forest kernels and felt this could be used as a comparison thread.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] julian67:
No, sorry, all done. That's Quadrant and Antutu benchmarks for Samsung, CM 10.1.3, CM 11 and CM 12.1.

I think that's enough for anyone to draw some broad conclusions about the performance of the most likey to be used firmwares.

I didn't measure battery life or remark on hardware support but obviously Samsung's own firmware is best if you want everything to work as expected. It also has extremely good battery life in power saving mode. CM 11 is probably the least satisfactory as it has much poorer battery life, does dumb stuff with the backlights of the hardware buttons, and minimal S-Pen support and doesn't support audio out via dock. CM 10.1.3 is similar in terms of hardware support but is less power hungry and the button backlights have not been modified by a lunatic. CM 12.1 is probably the best of the ROMs. It's the only non-Samsung ROM I ever tried which is not constantly keeping the CPUs busy. I would choose Samsung or Bauner's NightOwl but with raw kernel. Raw kernel supports backlight buttons actually working as backlight buttons! Seems like a small thing but having two lights pop on every time you touch the screen (the screen, not just the buttons!) is totally dumb, and so is having no backlights when you need to use the device in poor light.

[Verizon LG G3] LifeAsADroid:
Wondering if there is a tutorial for how to change the boot (splash screen) image to a custom picture. I'm tired of staring at the "LG - Life's Good" logo when the phone boots.

Not looking to change the whole bootanimation.zip file, just the splash screen image. Most of the time it's a logo.bin file or something. Just not sure if it's the same for the G3 (some phones it's called something else) and also not sure where to find it.

Thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] LifeAsADroid:
Bueller? Bueller? Bumpity bump, TTT.
[Verizon LG G3] Edde3d:
Since the bootloader is locked on the g3 you can't do anything with it unfortunately. I looked deeply into that a few months ago and that was the answer I came up with.
[Verizon LG G3] LifeAsADroid:
Not the answer I was hoping for, but I should have known better. Thanks for clarifying for me.
[Xposed General] Rtistique:
Hello all, Quick question. I have been look for a answer all week. Android is a great OS, But there is some thing missing. Is there a way to see your battery icon/ or battery level of an Bluetooth device. I have a Moto 360 and a Nexus 6, I'm able to see my battery level on my moto 360 and phone on the watch but you cant see the battery of the watch on the Nexus 6. If there is a way to see that information on the phone would it work on any other Bluetooth device ?? :confused: Thanks

Hi,

Just a PSA. I'm running official stock 5.0.1 rom, rooted with the new method shown recently - I forgot the name, DP?

Over the weekend, Google updated Android System WebView app. I noticed that when you update it, a lot of popular apps will force close.

You can uninstall it without problems.

Hi,

I got this phone from a friend and I don't know the history of it but is unable to detect any SIM card and the Baseband and IMEI appear as Unknown.

Do you have any idea on how to fix it?. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] dork997:
i had the same problem on 850FQ i bought few days earlier.

I digged deeper into the Issue and found out when someone wants to unlock their phone it can be done by 2 ways ONE: with an unlock code which people can buy from many online sites TWO: Using some hardware device i dont know its name. The repair guy told me sometimes a phones IMEI is also changed during the unlocking process and if the process is buggy then it may also damage IMEI AND BASEBAND.

Unknown imei/baseband can also be caused by a damaged "modem chip" or it can be caused by corrupt "EFS AND MODEM" folder while flashing custom roms. But since there is no ROOT and No firmwares available for the "A" model i guess your corrupt baseband is either due to "buggy unlocking" or it is a hardware malfunction. People who have the same problem in F or other models can try restoring factory firmwares with odin (from sammobile) but the folks with "A" Model are out of luck. i sold my phone as a demo unit cus i wasn't able to recover its baseband and imei.

Try a factory reset without simcard inserted, see if the imei comes back. if not you may sell it as a demo unit or keep the device for camera and music needs

[General Questions and Answers] arf8:
Hi everyone, I'm purchasing an S6 next week and I have a few questions. I'm not a Android expert, so excuse my ignorance on some of these questions. I have been a Blackberry user for over 10 years and have a samsung tablet I sometimes use so I know enough to get by.

1. From what I have read there is a Samsung Knox which is a counter that will detect if the phone is rooted and it can possibly void the warranty. I have Att and I hate bloatware on my phones, so based on a previous post i made, it appears the only way to remove these apps is by rooting. Is there a way to flash a custom rom without tripping this counter or is it too soon to tell?

2. Lets say I keep the factory OS that came with the phone and I upgrade the OS, OTA when Samsung/ATT releases the next version of android in the future, is it possible to downgrade to the older version (or current lolipop) without tripping Knox and voiding any warranty or as soon as the phone is flashed with a new OS it is not under warranty anymore?

3. If i understand correctly Knox keeps track of how many times the phone has been flashed and if it has been rooted? If the phone is flashed with an older version of android released by Samsung/ATT is it still going to keep track of this or only when it is flashed with a custom rom?

4. Lastly what is the best backup software for backing up app data? I believe I had downloaded Keiss for my tablet but that is not compatible with S6 so Smart Switch and Helium I have read are the best options unless there are others you guys recommend.

Cheers
[Greenify] twe90kid:
Hey

Was wondering what's the chances of building Greenify to use GCM push without the need of Xposed? I've been running Greenify for a long time now, but since Samsung pushed Lollipop, Xposed module no longer works with samsung lollipop roms. At this moment, it looks like the new Art system is causing trouble and the dev of Xposed isn't promising it will ever work.

For me, I paid for Greenify, was hoping there will be a solution in the future. I do understand it might involve a whole recoding.. But looking to see what's the possibility.
[Greenify] -m3tac0rt3x-:
First of all, you didn't exactly pay for the App per se, you DONATED to the Dev to get Extra "Experimental" features, quite different you know ;)

Second, the Dev of Greenify can't further develop the App without Xposed being Stable for Lolipop, and Xposed is still at Alpha-Stage, not even Beta, so you either wait patiently for an update, or start to search for alternatives, or go back to KitKat and have everything working :good: :victory:
[Greenify] twe90kid:
Yes that is true that donated vs paid is a different term. But you get the point.

As far as your second part, doesn't directly answer my question. Samsung TW Lollipop isn't supported by Xposed and the Dev doesn't know if it will ever work.
[Greenify] misterpingle:
I try to use without exposed but there are many difference ?

[Greenify] ffuser1:
yes. if you install it without exposed you will see that a majority of functions do not work. go to the settings tab to see
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vvatermelone:
I've been running CM11 nightlies for a while now, but recently decided to switch back to the dreaded touchwiz, as some apps weren't operating correctly. I used CWMR to restore the backup I had made previous to installing CWM. Booting up revealed many processes failing during the setup process, as well as the absence of the keyboard. Being a bit noobish, I installed a stock rom/recovery, hoping that would fix the issues. It did not. It stalls at "Just a sec..." before Setup Wizard quits and it loops indefinitely. Problem is I now can't flash a new rom or restore. I've tried installing cwm with no luck since, but take this with a grain of salt as I was admittedly a bit panicky during. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Spark91:
So are you still looking to restore or find any method to have your device boot up again...?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vvatermelone:
Yes. I've had no luck the past few days with it. Might give up on it if I can't get it working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Spark91:
Head to rwilco12's website and under downloads for the Galaxy S II Sprint SPH-D710, Download the Odin OneClick of the stock rooted GB27, You can choose between deodexed or odexed, pick your poison, note that choosing Full Restore wipes internal and No_Data preserves internal storage.

Put device in download mode and restore.

Once you've fully restored, Download AGAT's gb27 source recovery and flash via recovery flasher on device or Odin on PC. Start up into recovery and try restoring your GB27 ROM again. I remember there being a guide when flashing back and forth from cm to tw and there was a specific way you had to restore it, I've lost the thread but still looking for it for you.

But until then, try the Odin one click method and see where it flies there
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] vonspurter:
I have a T Mobile MDA (Wizard), unlocked on UK O2. I flashed to Faria Crossbow WM6 a while ago and everything is fine apart from getting MMS to work. I have manually input the network settings for WAP, MMS etc. but when sending error message states 'error synchronizing' and it stays in the outbox.

I downloaded the O2 operator settings cab file from the ftp site which always worked with WM5 but it doesn't add any settings in WM6.

Maybe unconnected but I used to have the G gprs icon before I flashed - haven't seen it since - any ideas?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Astraeu:
what are your MMS settings that you're inputting?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] welby1:
MMS

I have the same problem too and Im on UK Vodafone...spoke to vodafone and checked all the settings and all ok.

May be something in the MMS Composer by Arcsoft!

Anyone else?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Zzan:
have you tried manually entering both the GPRS and MMS settings from your carrier as opposed to a cab file?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dennydb:
I have the same problem with NBD 7.1 rom.

No problem with Core2.0

I'm using usual Vodafone MMS settings!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mirekluza:
As writen above, do not rely on CABs (I had also a problem with one "MMS setting" CAB not doing it properly), do it manually...

I did it succesfully in XDA MOBILE 6 (making MMS connection in Setting > Connections > Connections and then setting its usage in Messaging).

It is more work, but it is safer.

Your operator certainly has some instructions (in my case I worked according to the instructions how to set it in WM5 on MDA III - they were still good for WM 6 on MDA Vario).

If you have problems in one specific ROM, post to that thread (maybe the coook screwed up/removed MMS).

Is it worth it? Can't pull the battery. No SD card slot.

Are you impressed? Pissed? I've done a lot of reading on the S6, but, I would rather hear it first hand from yall.

I came from a Note 4. I am happy with the S6. Have not rooted yet. Just waiting to see more thoughts and app support for 64 bit. Screen is clear and very bright. It's very manageable in my hand. Easy to text. I got the 64gb version

Because I take a ton of pics. I think with a little dev support. This phone will fly faster then how it is now. Do get a case though. I think I cam honestly wait till the S7 whenever that comes down the road. Camera is amazing.

Overall I'm very happy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jonahtriangle:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] The Sickness:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] wase4711:
also had a Note 4, and pretty much agree with the other poster; fantastic display, ultra smooth and fast,(not using touchwiz), battery is fine after a few days, and the built in wireless charging makes keeping the battery charged a breeze, camera is incredible, and I thought I would miss the ext sd card, but with a 64/128 gig phone, and such easy access to large cloud storage, its a non issue for me.

Rooted easily, not much dev yet, but its only been out "officially" for a couple of weeks, so not concerned about that.

Zero regrets at this point..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] sublimaze:
Pretty much this for me too.

I had a G3. The stock rom was ok and Xposed tweaks made it better, but development never picked up like I had hoped. When the S6 came out, I sold the G3 and got a regular S6 64 GB. I thought I would miss expandable memory, but I haven't. The G3 camera was awesome but the S6 camera is even better. The screen is phenomenal — it blows everything else out of the water. The fingerprint scanner actually works and isn't some janky wannabe that was tacked on at the last minute. Touchwiz is...tolerable. I never thought I would say that about TW because every other Samsung phone I've owned made me want to flash another rom within a day of using it. TW has been toned down a notch. It won't sway anyone from stock android, but Samsung has definitely taken a step in the right direction. The S6 battery life sucked for the first few days, but then I read about the wifi calling & VoLTE bugs, so I disabled those and battery life has been better. I do miss having a removable battery. I bought wireless chargers for my bedroom and for work, and they do the job. Plus, the quick charge feature really helps. I have gradually changed my expectations regarding battery life. So instead of being irritated that the S6 does not have exceptional stamina, I just enjoy it for what it does offer.

If you typically get more than 24 hours on your S5, then you might make it to bedtime with the S6.

If you are a heavy user and don't want to (or can't) bump charge during the day, then you will probably be disappointed. But if you don't mind plugging in during the day, then I would say go for it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Cummins4:
Bro, luv this phone! Just went on vacation last week with the family took some priceless pictures! Feel, screen, lag free, battery is way better than expected! Just have to keep running the things you use not the things you don't. No different from the s2,s3,s4,or the s5. Went for the plane Jane s6. The edge was tempting, but I'm a diesel tech of 18 years, when I held it, I felt that no case out there would protect my abuse - just too exposed. Extremely happy with this device! Short of the Sickness touch of course! Love some direction on how to donate to you, YOUR why my decision to the s6 from the s5 was so difficult. That aside, IMO, overall this puts the s5 to shame.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] The Sickness:
Under my info is a yellow button that says Donate to me.....it will take you to PayPal. You can see the button in Web view, not the XDA app.

I'll be here. Just have to sell my S4. I have a deal with my wife on upgrading. Long story. :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jonahtriangle:
Coming from s4 to note 4 now s6. S4 was awesome but now laggy for it's time also battery was horrendous. Not 4 was awesome the battery was amazing it lasted for ever. The screen was so crisp. My only issue was it was tooo big. I found myself fumbling in one handed operation. And my thumbs were pulling muscles. Coming from those devices i feel this phone is unstopable as far as speed/lag. The camera is way better as far as clarity and speed. The quick double press of the home button to open the camera is genius. No regrets accept the larger screen was nice for movies and web browsing but i would rather be able to one hand it. Sd card is no issue with 64 gig plus. The memory is much faster and shows in performance. Battery pull is a non issue with power and volume down. Does the reset just fine. The battery life on the s6 is fantastic. Very close to the note 4. I cant compare to the s5 but i get way better battery life than the s4. One thing I am not fond of is the new TW app drawer. You have to hit an alphabetical sorting button every time you add apps other wise it just adds them to the end. Also you cant scoll through apps past the letter z. It wont go to A. You have to scroll left through all the apps backwords. Also it groups tons of apps by folders, like google apps in one and social apps in another. No way to change it. Yes i know there is nova and others but i liked the old touchwiz the way it was. Nova cant scroll past letter Z either. All in all I think you are going to be very pleased with this new upgrade. I cant wait to see what you can do with it. It will be SICK.
