You will need a USB Male to Male cable. There is a USB Debugging app you can get for the forge I believe, on the google Play store. To enable developer options however, just keep pressing on the Android Version in settings.

Link to Razer Forge ADB Debug

[Fire TV General] patt2k:
nice thx I will let u know :D what happens
[Fire TV General] Sgt.JimmyRustles:
Pat, I hope you have fun with it, because I'm returning mine. It's a POS, without Netflix support which is a huge deal for me, the controllers don't work with the PC, and on and on.
[Fire TV General] patt2k:
I don't use netflix so I am ok with it,I use kodi for everything but the cable I have male to male is a cheap cable and it won't detect it lol so if I buy better cable it should be ok.
[Fire TV General] Sgt.JimmyRustles:
Meh, I'm going to hope that nVidia doesn't mess it up. It has 4k support and 5.1 surround sound built in, so I'm kinda interested. Also, use the ADB app I linked you on the Forge. That should help.
[Fire TV General] patt2k:
sorry guys I don't have the skill to replace kinguser with supersu :( if anyone here knows I tried but I don't have the skills for it.. I just ended up doing factory reset because after kingroot my forge appeared to be little slower..

su binaries fail to install each time if someone here has the skills I would love to re root again.
[Fire TV General] gabestover:
I was able to get my Forge TV set up with SuperSU using the following guide: http://xdaforums.com/fire-phone/general/root-fire-phone-supersu-t3105546

Even did adb over wifi thanks to here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2604727/how-can-i-connect-to-android-with-adb-over-tcp

Worked perfectly for me on the first try. I had already rooted w/ kingroot some days before, so I just skipped ahead to connecting and pushing over the files. Hope that helps anyone trying to get rooted but get rid of kinguser.

Cheers!
[Fire TV General] goodhur:
Thanks!!! It took me a couple tries but it worked! I did end up using the most recent Supersu instead of the one in the download file. I don't know if it did anything but I also installed busybox before trying. I used the WiFi ADB app to set up the connection.
[Fire TV General] bradwatson:
I got an error when running the deamonsu -d & command saying permission denied even though I'm rooted with kingroot and granted su permission to the terminal app when I ran this. Did you not get this error?
[Fire TV General] goodhur:
I wish I kept my failed terminal sessions to see. I did have errors about there. That was when I decided to sideload busybox. I think it replaces the deamonsu kingroot may have installed. I am a novice so it is a guess. After that I had success. My successful session returned (1) 4428 (whatever that meant).
[Fire TV General] bradwatson:
I got it working the second try. Maybe I did something wrong the first time. Thanks for the help!
[Fire TV General] goodhur:
Now that the initial tinker phase is over. Not having Netflix really is a cancer to the enjoyment of this device. I noticed razerinsider removed the no Netflix thread. I contacted customer support over an audio issue, which i think was actually an issue with my av receiver. I asked about Netflix, here was the response "Sorry, as we are not able to speculate on Netflix's support of the Forge."
[Fire TV General] patt2k:
You think you could make a video ? :D I am worried about the recovery commands in terminal/adb.. I don't think Razer even has factory images or anything not even instructions how to unbrick
[Fire TV General] the_chinaman:
I've just read the reviews on Amazon, ouch!!
[Fire TV General] goodhur:
I don't think the build quality is bad. I didn't get the Serval controller but that sounds like it has issues. The main issues are no Netflix app or casting and no cortex streaming. They claim they are working on Netflix, when who knows. The other problem is not all apps on the Intel based Nexus Player are available on the Razer which is ARM based. other than the gripes above I really have no problem with its performance at all. What I don't understand is why my antutu score is so much higher than the original post, I am a above 50k and the post is at 27k scores
[Fire TV General] patt2k:
Lol reading those reviews makes me laugh so bad most of people just write pure bs :D
[Fire TV General] skeptic_always:
No Netflix is a deal breaker for a lot of people, including me.

The whole x86 vs ARM thing is a bit curious to me. Why would google go with an Intel Atom instead of what is found in more typical Android devices? Perhaps they are trying to kick-start Android on x86 devices? It would be really cool if they released an image that we could install Android TV on existing PCs. I'm sure it would have very strict hardware requirements, but if they could support something like an Intel Iris Pro 5200 combined with an i5 or i7 that would make for a fantastic (and really expensive) Android TV box capable of some pretty good gaming.
[Fire TV General] goodhur:
I think the Intel choice mainly just has to do with Asus manufacturing the Nexus Player. The appear to have moved to Intel across their mobile line..
[Fire TV General] gabestover:
Sorry, I haven't got anything set up to make a video. I wasn't really 100% sure what I was doing with half of those commands, but I just followed the instructions step-by-step and it worked for me.
[Fire TV General] patt2k:
lol nice :D can you do me a favor and boot into recovery take a picture just show us how recovery looks like? you can do adb reboot recovery or sideload any reboot to.. apps from playstore, I will attempt tomorrow (I just want to make sure those commands didn't touch recovery)
[Fire TV General] mejdam:
are most of you going to keep the razer forge tv? or have you switched back to your nexus player and/or fire tv?
[Fire TV General] goodhur:
I figure I'll keep mine, I have a firetv stick on the same TV. They actually compliment each other well. I do prefer the android TV interface. For my purposes the shield is overkill, I don't plan on upgrading to 4k soon.
[Fire TV General] mejdam:
Has anyone had any issues where their box wouldnt turn back on and required pulling power? I wish they had an option like the fire where you could reboot using the remote.
[Fire TV General] goodhur:
I haven't had an issue like that. I did have a problem where I was getting no audio but just changing HDMI and powering down overnight fixed that. I agree I'd love to see a keyboard shortcut. Right now I do use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.danielgauci.tvboot

i have a fire tv stick coming on saturday and i really want to put minecraft on it but from what ive read you have to buy it on the fire tv and side load it to the stick but the problem is i dont have a fire tv which is a shame because im all for buying the game, i own it on my xperia z, pc, and ps3 but without a fire tv i wont be able to get the apk to install on my fire tv stick does anyone know away around this or is willing to pm me the fire tv version apk to try until they add it to the fire tv stick so i can buy it directly.

i know i can side load my phones version to it but i cant play it because the phone version doesnt have controller support can someone help please.

New Razer update. Can't install as I've rooted though...anyway to clean it all up? Unrooting it didn't work.
[Fire TV General] goodhur:
Finally Razer has released the factory image for the Forge TV. If you were rooted you can flash to 5.1.1 here is the link with the firmware and instructions:

http://developer.razerzone.com/forge-tv/factory-images-for-razer-forge-tv/

It also appears the fastboot oem unlock may work, there wasn't a fail error returned. No visible bootloader screen for this newbie to confirm unlock status. Anyone able to compile custom recovery for this device?

Good news for razer fans anyway. I've recently sold my forge in the UK, and gone for the nvidia shield tv import from amazon us... Head & shoulders above the forge as well.
[Fire TV General] wastate2014:
I wondered how you got these scores with your Fire Tv? I have three and the highest score I have achieved is 24782 with Antutu. The Forge with a 805 processor should leave the Fire TV in the dust?
[Fire TV General] goodhur:
Here was my forge tv's score 50817:

I'll run my Firetv's and post it later

Edit: FireTV Box score 28679
[Fire TV General] wastate2014:
Now this looks way more inline.. Thanks for your help
[Fire TV General] goodhur:
That was on 5.0.2, they just released the 5.1.1 factory image, I doubt there will be much difference but I'll test and post 5.1.1's score. Despite the improved performance I prefer the Firetv overall. I will say that the AndroidTV u.i is a bit nicer.

Edit: Razer Forge, freshly flashed with 5.1.1 - score 52203
[Fire TV General] wastate2014:
I have only tried Android TV on the adt1 development box. To be fair I feel that Android TV needs a chance to grow up just as Fire Tv has. I agree about the Android UI, Fires UI has always been kinda a mess to me personally. I also hate all the Amazon junk they crame down your throat:eek:
[Fire TV General] patt2k:
anyone knows how to get in touch with TWRP devs to request recovery for Forge? bootloader can be unlocked, I have no skill to build recovery and then CM rom..
[Fire TV General] eranyanay:
Is the Razer forge tv comes unrooted (unlike some chinese boxes), much like the AFTV?

Im using the AFTV today for Kodi & local vendor streaming app (cable company) that runs only on un-rooted devices.

HideMyRoot and such arent helpful, so I must run android TV that is unrooted originally from the manufacturer.

The Razer comes now in 99$ deal with two remotes on their website.

Is it a better gaming machine than the AFTV2?

The dillema is buying a remote for 50$ or buying the box with two remotes for 100$.
[Fire TV General] goodhur:
The forge does not come rooted from the factory.

If you need Netflix get the aftv, the forge doesn't have it. The other aftv advantage is a physical remote with voice search. The aftv2 and forge have similar performance.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dav-rmd:
I could never pump out more than 5h SoT on my opo. Right now I'm getting around 3h before I need to charge it . I'm on stock Cyanogen on 12. I've tried exodus etc and it's all the same :/ My usage isn't even that heavy, I don't play any games at all so I'm sure this is either a rom issue or faulty hardware issue not sure. Is there any setting/rom you guys recommend ? I was thinking about going back to Kitkat but which version has the best battery life ? Thanks and I appreciate any help whatsoever :)

hello dev

i advice you of using this rom

resurrection remix

http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-resurrection-remix-lp-5-2-0-t2971715

at the moment i'm using it and it's perfect not a single problem mem leak or battery

:good:
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneTruth:
Exodus should give you a hell of a battery life. I have heard nothing but good stuff about that ROM. I myself have not used it yet, but I'm planning to.

I get between 4,5 - 6 hours SOT with AK kernel and v1.9 of real_pac's synapse settings. I also use greenify.

Try rooting your phone and add these additional tweaks, your battery life should be much better!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dav-rmd:
I am rooted and everything. I was on exodus but it was as good as cm12 nightlies :/ Resurrection I have tried too and i only got 3h SoT:( I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong unfortunately . I'll try to use greenify and I'll report back
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmenmichiel:
I feel you, never got more than around 3 hours of SOT. Brightness is always below 50 percent, I turn off gps when I dont use it, 3G/wifi all day long. Im running exodus as some people said it had amazing battery life, but don't really see a difference. I am rooted with he paid version of greenify + the paid version of amplify, and the power nap xposed module aswell as privacy guard on google play services. Yet I never ever even get close to the 4-9 hours SOT which some people seem to get. I really don't understand it either..
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaoscreater:
what's the awake time on your Android System or Android OS? I think I'm in the same boat, flashed BlissPop and RenderUber and left it idle with no additional settings or apps installed, then come back to it and find a good chunk of battery life gone. Both roms had Android System using 1hr of awake time.

Then I installed BBS on both roms, found nothing. Google Play Services wake up permission is disabled in Privacy Blocker, haven't installed Greenify or Servicely yet but just wondering why on stock settings there'd be such a heavy drain.

Update:

Just found something interesting. The battery drain now is just pathetic. Powered up my phone, left it idle for 30 seconds and reboot. Bam, 1% of battery life gone. Repeated this 5 times in a row, every time the phone reboots, 1% of battery will drop. It doesn't drop right after, it sometimes drop after the phone idles for about 1~2 minute but that's just insane.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
This is completely normal, the boot process is very intensive and consumes more battery than if your phone was just sitting idle, or even being used normally.

For those of you desiring a phone with +6h SoT. Revert back to cm11s and be happy with your SoT. I did two days ago and I have no regrets. Running amplify with greenify simultaneously and I'm getting around 7h SoT.

You will be able to keep your unlimited data, and since the nexus only comes in two models (international and US) any one you purchase from a us seller will work. I'm even rocking an AT&T nexus on Verizon as we speak.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Stig 04:
I purchased my white 64gb Nexus 6 through Google to be able to keep my unlimited plan as well. The device does show up as a non vzw device though. It's easy to make changes to the plan if you're adding (meaning more money for them) but to removing options (less money for them) is where it gets tricky. Really in my opinion it just depends on the rep you talk to. Long story short, about two weeks ago I called to add international calling to my plan, the rep offered me a plan they no longer have. When I realized she added the wrong plan I called back and the guy said he couldn't remove the options that were added and needed to submit a ticket and I would receive a call back when it's all taken care of. After a week of hearing nothing I called back and was talking to a guy who was really helpful. He removed and changes that were made to my account, but did say that having the Nexus 6 come up as a non vzw device made it a little tricky to remove the options but nothing that couldn't be done.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8scott_o:
I have unlimited data on VZW, and I bought 64gb blue off Play Store. I didn't want any tie to VZW because when my invite for Google FI comes, I just may go that route.

I went into company-owned store (not a retailer) for new SIM card. Was a bit of a "hassle" insofar as all the reps were all clueless as to how to give me a SIM card when the device ID was not in their database. They tried to shuffle me off to customer service, but I made them call customer service with me in the store. The tech support rep went into the same bootloop (can't give you a card and get the device registered if the device id is not in the database) but eventually, they figured out they just needed to insert SIM card and it would activate itself. I found I had to be pleasant but assertive to get it done, as they seemed to be unwilling to just hand over a SIM card, which is all they needed to do.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
You were lucky that you found some reasonable reps to deal with. Many VZW representatives will flat out refuse to give you a SIM if the IMEI is not in their system.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8scott_o:
It looked like it was heading that way, but I was assertive in saying that I know it could be done and that is when we got the phone to tech support. I suggested we use the SIM card they had in front of me and ask tech support to get it going while I was in the store, and eventually it all worked out after the tier 1 tech support guy took the initiative to look some things up.

Point is, be polite but firm, don't take "no" for an answer. There is a difference in software (although what, I don't know, but I didn't want anything other than pure google on my phone), so it was worth the minor hassle to me.

Our ICT guy at work managed to make the remote desktop mobile application work so that I can logon to the server at our work! This way I can easily make advantage of the software programs at our company while I m on the road. However, with the remote desktop mobile utility that came with my WM6 version (http://vidmes.com/Uni/ROMs/Laurentius26_UNI_RV1.rar) I cannot set the colors to 16. Only on 256 colors or 16-bit. If I could get 16 colors it will run much faster now with 256 colors. Can I achieve this (maybe with some other Remote Desktop utility?).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sanderh:
really no clues guys?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Anticro:
Less than 256 colours doesn't make sense. Take a screenshot of a computer's screen and reduce it to 16 colours. You'll see masses of grey or red and probably won't recognize the screen correctly. But you may try to reduce the screen resolution of the PC whitch ends up in less trafiic because of smaller images whitch must be transferred.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdstudio:
My phone is so slow after the LP update thats annoying. For example, when I browse in Chrome for 10 minutes and want to go back Home, the icons are empty and it starts reuploading them after 1-2 seconds. When I want to record the screen to show it, then this problem magically goes away...

And sometimes the apps are freezing (e.g.: VLC, Walkman, Facebook, ...)

I have another issue: sometimes I get only mono sound through headphones, and I can only solve this when I pull it out and push it again in the jack.

Whats going on? Has somebody else these strange things?

Already reported by several users on this forum, with several other users (including myself) very surprised - seeing nothing of the sort. By the reports, seems as if it's up to your luck, or depending on some system apps/settings/usage. However, the same reports conclude it as solved in the next Lollipop update version.

lagy

exactly the same problem have i too. (tried everything) compared to xperia z3 compact tablet - no such big problems, but there is 3gb ram and it use my gf, so not so many app installed.

The re-uploading of the icons i can reproduce with the developer menu when i click in the section of applications - don't store applications - after that every-time when you close all aps in tab menu of the phone - reloading of icons appear.....

so it must be a software problem - because on 4.4 had newer problems and the phone was perfect without lags - hopefully will Sony make this better in next update - it is for my a big issue

before i used htc one max htc one m8 and such things never happened .....
