When I try to sideload a single Google App it always fails. Is there a reason for this? Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheXGX:
This depends on your Gapps package. I suggest you ask in the respective Gapps thread, or contact the provider. :) They would usually provide an addon for it, like in [MENTION=5772029]jajb[/MENTION]'s Minimal Gapps.

I haven't tried to sideload something like that yet, but I'd suggest updating your recovery and then trying :)

Idea

Has anyone thought of making a GAPP's package with aroma so you just download one package and then pick exactly what you want rather than having masses of packages and you have to pick roughly the one you want?

Help getting gapps in Ressurection Remix 5.4.5

Hi everyone.

I've been trying to flash RR 5.4.5 (android 5.1). First, I tried with CWM but without success. Then, I got it with TWRP. Now, I can't flash gapps with TWRP.. I've tried tons of differente versions of GApps. The PA Gapps, for instance, gives me a error code 40.

I have a Galaxy S4 Mini i9195

Any ideas? I thought about removing TWRP and try to flash them with CWM, but I don't even know how to remove TWRP in the first place.

Any help or thoughts?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G3] makeithappen978:
Before the official v20b update came out, I was installing 5.0.2 AOSP based ROMS without issues. Used The Pagel's TWRP method to upgrade from 10r to 20b with no issues. AOSP ROMS based on 5.0.2 didn't give me issues at that point either. As soon as 5.1 ROMS came out, I started getting an error where the phone would go dead on me until I did a battery pull. It happened on BlissPop once and it increased on Candy5. Thinking it was a CM bug, I went back to my nandroid backup of 20b and now it is happening there too!

On the AOSP ROMs it's happened when the phone goes to sleep, if I try to update AdAway or the internal ROM's Ad Blocker, or simply when installing some CM themes. On v20b, it happened when I tried to reboot after updating my hosts file using AdAway.

On AOSP based ROMs, it does this randomly, and more with some ROMs than others. This will happen whether I use the kernel that came with the ROM or 777kernel, only script I use is the Android Cid camera script for AOSP based Roms. With stock v20b, I use the oversharpening script and textdroider to adjust the DPI. That's it.

When it happens, the phone just shuts off and the screen is completely unresponsive and the hard buttons do not work. Not even pressing power+down button does anything.

I need your help guys. Thanks for your replies!

So does modems effect the battery life? Or is it irrelevant
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] faheemakbar18:
Hello everyone

My S3 is giving this problem lately

it used to take around 2h 40m to charge completely from zero

now it either increase percentage suddenly like 25% to 35% (does same while discharging)

or increase very fast percent to percent. and starts decreasing

I plugged it at 0% and it was 90% after 2h40m, then starts decreasing 89 88 87, currently its 86% 2h26m

What could be issue, phone, charger or battery

battery is not swollen though . its not genuine battery but first copy

More than likely it's time for a new battery

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] faheemakbar18:

Problem still exists
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
As you mentioned they aren't OEM. That could be your issue. Aftermarket parts don't always work properly

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] faheemakbar18:
tried the same batteries on another s3. works fine charge to 100%

I even tried charging while the phone is off. still it goes to 95% and then starts going down to 80s range

issue is in phone i guess. but which part it could be. usb port as it works only when phone is placed somewhere, but in hand, it will disconnect

or internal issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Could be the charging port or the phone itself

I know it sounds crazy but I've noticed a certain charger in my home won't charge as quick as others. I'm with shapes on this. Batteries or charging port. I've got a battery for another phone that's old and does crazy things like discharging 30% instantly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] shingy:
Hey everyone, I need some help. Since the Gmail app updated to the "Material Design" look, I've had an annoyance when trying to switch between my email accounts. In order to quickly switch, you can tap on the icon for the email address you wish to switch to. The problem is, two of my accounts are using the default Gmail silhouette, so I can't tell which one is which from the menu:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwgHw8RSjQikR0pfYWUyWXhxeFE/view

For all three of my accounts, I have uploaded a profile picture via the general tab in Gmail settings in the browser. My personal Gmail shows my picture, no problem, but for some reason the other two don't come through. I'm not sure if it matters, but both are Google Apps for Work accounts . Also, I'm not sure if it has to do something with the sync settings, but I have them set up to sync email and app data. Also, for reference I am rooted and using the stock NC1 AT&T rom and have cleaned off all the bloatware.

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks,

hi,

have you unlock CID?
[P3600 ROM Development] Supergeert:
same here

Hi,

I got the same problem, exactly the same error when i want to flash lvsw rom.

1. I superCID it (twice)

2. I updated using hard-SPL but everytime i get the same error code: 246 device not responding.

I tried reconnecting, resetting, with and without sim, but it all doesn't seem to work.

When I downloaded a shipped rom with GPS enabled, all went well...

Is there some kind of trick involved, or does it just not work for my p3600?

Thanx in advance,

Geert

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

@ kayzee

if you start hard-SPL and it opens the hard-SPL window, before you click next etc. open up lvsw rom updater and click next etc. in the lvsw updater.

I guess your Trinity thinks its hard-SPL but in fact ur flashing lvsw rom on ur Trinity

have you tried to flash hard spl to your phone first? then try to flash another rom.

if not, follow the instructions here to use splxploit, then flash hard spl, then another rom

That didn't work for me. Does anyone know what to do yet?
[P3600 ROM Development] lion5877:
Hi,

I have the same problem.

I have followed the indication of this forum:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=293957

1. Transfer SSPL/SSPL-TRIN.exe to your phone and run it

2. Tri-color screen will appear

3. Disable activesync (file -> connection settings -> uncheck "allow USB connections")

4. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB lead.

5. Run RUU/ROMUpgradeUtility.exe

6. Follow the flashing process (Check the "I understand..." and "I completed..." boxes and update!)

7. Allow your phone to reboot.

8. Transfer TRIN_Unlock_v1.exe program to your phone and run it

9. Click the Unlock Button, select unlock option. Select if you want SIM/CID unlock.

10. Click "Unlock!" and wait until process finishes.

11. When done, turn off your phone for 10 seconds and reboot after that.

I hope of to have been useful, I have resolved therefore

Sorry for bothering you,

I had a problem while flashing a Rom. Now my trinity is dead. It only appears the "HTC smart mobility", symbol with some red little numbers at the bottom of the page.

Is there something I still can do my self or should I run to service assistance?

Obviously it doesn't connect to active sync.

Please just give me a hint....:(

Download the official locked ROM

Put the trin in bootloader mode manually... Flash... now the phone is locked again... supercid it again... then try again with hard spl
[P3600 ROM Development] checcototti:
I've already downloaded the official WM5.

Please, I don't know how to do this operation. My PDA looks dead.

Ok, I think I know how to do this

.

Supercid? Sorry, what does it mean?

Please could you tell me how to do this?

Probably not very used to this operations, so please try to explain in a more explicit way.

Thank you so much for your kind assistance.
[P3600 ROM Development] racerx_:
you really should read more before you try to flash..

the wiki defines all of these terms that you aren't understanding.

manually place in bootloader by holding power button + camera button + soft reset.

You can download hard-spl(makes phone look like CID unlocked, does not void warranty and allows you to flash unsigned ROMs) in Trinity Upgrading forum, and also SuperCID tool (unlocks your phone to use ROMs from any carrier, but voids warranty). SuperCID is unnecessary in my opinion

please follow the upgrade guides on my site if you're confused. For now, Place your device in bootloader, and flash hard-spl, then the ROM of your choice. Follow the hard-spl guide on my site for details and download links.

hope it helps
[P3600 ROM Development] checcototti:
You're right. Now I know.

Done.

Done. I've downloaded the DES Crash Proof Spl.

I've followed the instructions here

http://trinityguides.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39&Itemid=66

But I still have a doubt. Because it says "Make sure the activesync icon is be green (finished synchronizing)" . But as I've already said, it seems that my pda doesn't connect at all.

Please, help me. probably I'm close to the solution. Sorry for bothering you!
[P3600 ROM Development] checcototti:
Anyway I've tried the following:

Downloaded the DES CRASH PROOF SPL.

Connected my Trinity to my pc.

The active sync doesn't extablish a connection. No green light.

Put the PDA in bootloader mode manually

run the spl

After a few clicks, the program on the pc says: ERROR [270] The image file is corrupted. Please check your update utility.

Hi,

I'm trying to apply a Mask or Blur Filter to some buttons at runtime... This button is reflecting a "layer" object, so I'd like to blur its edges to reflect how transparent is this layer...

I'm able to set a ColorFilter, or apply a maskFIlter to its TextView, but cant figure how to apply a maskFilter to the whole button...

here is the part of my code where I'd like to apply this filter (in a applyFilter method):

public void createList(LinearLayout lm) {
lm.removeAllViews();
for (int i = 0; i < kwang07Android.nblayers; i++) {
final Button newbtn = new Button(this, null, android.R.attr.buttonStyleSmall);
int col = kwang07Android.layers[i].col;
int newColor = Color.argb(156+(int)(kwang07Android.layers[i].opacite*100), Color.red(col), Color.green(col), Color.blue(col));
newbtn.getBackground().setColorFilter(newColor, MULTIPLY);
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]//applyFilter(newbtn, i, BlurMaskFilter.Blur.INNER);[/COLOR]
newbtn.setText("couche " + Integer.toString(i));
newbtn.setId(i);
newbtn.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,30+kwang07Android.layers[i].thickness/20));
final int finalI = i;
newbtn.setOnTouchListener(new Button.OnTouchListener() {
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
showColorPickerDialogDemo(newbtn, finalI);
}
return false;
}
});
lm.addView(newbtn);
}
...

Any advice?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KCSamerica:
I just upgraded my S5 for an S6 (not edge) and so far... I'm not really impressed. Everything seems about the same, graphics look better, feels zippy just as when I factory reset my S5, battery life still drains quickly for my use, I still get dropped calls.

It feels like an S5 with a tweaked UI to feel zippier. I've read a lot of reviews & endorsements but now wondering if they were Samsung's doing or something?

What are y'all noticing better about the S6 compared to an S5? I'm wondering if there's a reason for me to keep the S6 instead of going back to a now cheaper S5?

Thoughts from your personal experiences as well as facts about the phone I might be entirely missing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KCSamerica:
With all the hype, I expected more. I feel I bought an over-priced S5 with a more optimized UI coding to feel zippier. I thought it should feel like going from the S3 to the S5, a lot of major differences, not just some tweaks and refinements.

And why I was hoping others could chime in on S5 versus S6 major differences, hardware facts or their observations.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
Frankly these flagship phones are way over powered. You wont notice a big difference year to year, you almost need to wait 3 years if you want that. One of the biggest difference between the phones is how many cores the processor has and unless you do a lot of multitasking it doesn't matter at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KCSamerica:
That's what I always heard, give it a couple generations or more to find a considerable difference. I do like the speed of the camera launching, but I'm finding it hard to justify spending a couple hundred more on the S6 just for that.

Transferring my phone info again but now to newly purchased TMo S5 as well as making sure I get reimbursed for the S6 in the "remorse" period is going to be challenging...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
I hear you on that, I skipped the s5 in favor of the g3 and I regretted it about 6 months later. In the end it will work out for me because I like the idea of touch fingerprint vs swipe but would have stuck with the s5 for atleast another year if I had that.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadilydoo:
Above is an image of what the digitizer is registering in my Nexus 5 vs the S6. The red circles represent one specific tap on the screens. As you can see, each tap on the N5 is registered once whereas on the S6 there are several click points registered in one tap.

Is this normal?

I recently discovered when playing a game that a lot of my taps are registered as veeeery small scroll motions instead of a tap. In the game is a long list with several buttons in it. More often than not when trying to push a button nothing happens but a yanking motion (like a short scroll/swype/whatever you call the motion) in the list. It's really annoying! I haven't noticed anything similar in other apps (have not tried other games yet).

Is this normal on a new phone? For reference; a friend of mine is playing on a Note 3 and HTC One M9 and he hasn't these issues. I also found an S6 owner on the game forum with the same issue.

The app that tested the digitizer is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cp.stest
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecksreturns:
Funny enough I have noticed this as well. I downloaded the app you mentioned and I am seeing similar results. I play Trails Frontier a lot and right off the bat I noticed that many times the game would not register taps as nicely as it would on my Oneplus One.
