[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ntxct:
Well you've now made 2 threads concerning root, that at their heart are based on one, quite easy, response for you (see summary).

You'd like to have xposed up and running, to be able to install modules and tweak your android experience as you see fit. You'd like to debloat and remove apps/ads you feel are unwarranted on your phone.

The good news (part 1): I've been doing all these things on my turbo since late March, and will gladly help you achieve an awesome level of customization for your turbo.

The bad news (part 1): It appears you refuse to just pay for mofo so you can push a custom system image to your phone.

The good news (part 2): It seems daunting, getting a virtualbox setup and making your own image... but some people have been nice enough to post their images that you can use. Which is really no different than flashing a custom rom with bells and whistles.

The bad news (part 2): 20 dollars is a lot of money. Thats like....almost 1/40th the cost of the msrp of the Turbo at release.

The good news (part 3): Even after having setup my virtualbox and customizing my own image, I haven't flashed that image since the last week of March... I've added a lot of new xposed modules (todays newest xhangouts), and until a new ad pops up, I have no need to edit the hosts file again.

Summary.. Just pay 20 bucks for mofo, find an image you like (or take the 90 mins to customize your own) and you'll be way better off.

This was always my issue with the free root.. not the idea of free.. not the idea that its an alternative which may lead to new thinking on cracking w/p but because now people are even

LESS

inclined to learn for themselves and not make multiple, ultimately pointless, threads.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbarrett480:
I am currently s-on but running the GPE rom. Would I experience any benefits by s-off'ing and doing the GPE conversion? Or is there no difference other than OTA ability?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It also changes the partitioning, making the system partition smaller, and the user accessible storage partition gets bigger.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
As soon as you are S-Off, OTAs won't matter much. You can update your firmware manually almost always before your carrier does (unless your carrier happens to be first to update), and install a ROM based on that firmware within a day or two after it is released.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I mostly agree (and personally not much of an OTA person). But for some reason, some folks still like to OTA even after s-off, bootloader unlock, etc.; which is something I never really understood much.

Also, GPE typically gets OTAs before any version. Although there is always a chance that you can flash a ROM even before the GPE update; if there is a "leak".

Hello!

I am new here and I don't know if I am posting in the right forum, but here goes nothing. I have an LG G2 with T-Mobile that is running on Android 4.4.2. My problem is, whenever I get on Snapchat the picture's brightness is perfect, but as soon as I start to take a video, the brightness dims way too dark for the video to actually be usable. Is there any way to fix this?

Thank you!

Hi All,

Hope all are doing well. I'm posting this message on behalf of those people who are facing the most irritating problem currently(those who wants to root their devices on latest CM 12S lollipop 5.0) is:

Custom recovery image not updating, it shows recovery is updated message but when boot into recovery, the phone shows original recovery only, also it gives error of signature verification while applying root package (started pc with signature mode off) and its not rooted.

The following process are done by maximum users.

1. Installing the adb drivers correctly. Even we also used the manual methods to install adb drivers and it went well.

2. Also checked in the device manager. The Android ADB interface is there.

3. Tried Yureka All in one tool box and also manual method. 0% success.

4. Tried CWM and TWRP recovery. 0% success.

Pleas note that, rooting process went well in Kitkat (CM 11S) but not in Lollipop (CM 12S).

You will find lots of posts claiming can't replace custom recovery after bootloader unlock. But we didn't find a single or multiple way to fix this. So, What to do now? There is always a way to make this right. Please help.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pteer Griffin:
I backed up and replaced the stock fonts from system/fonts. Replaced Roboto-bold, light, lightitalic, regular, thin, and thinitalic and renamed the new ones to the roboto names. All the fonts were replaced properly after rebooting except for the lock screen colon. In the clock app and the status bar, the colon appears without issues. I don't mind reflashing the rom, it's just the stock Lollipop font bugs the daylights out of me!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobyjenkins:
After checking several fonts, it seems to me that roboto-thin is responsible for the clock colon, try restoring just that one.

*edit* I realise that the font Roboto-Thin is for the whole clock but have found myself a solution.

I am using Font Installer from Play to change my fonts on a rom without theme engine and after working out that the lock clock is Roboto-Thin I decided to try edit the font. I opened my chosen font with "Font Creator" and saw that there was a character called "undefined" that was a rectangle. So I copied the colon and pasted it over the rectangle, so now any character that is considered undefined should be represented by a colon. I saved the edited font and installed it. It works! Though any other undefined character will now be a colon.

I guess another solution would be to compare the dimensions of the alternative font colon with that of Roboto-Thin and make it the same.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hizba:
How do u get font creator?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qayx:
I've used FontForge (free font editor) for Windows and have to edit the 'Roboto-Light.ttf'... and i have pasted the colon sign at the 0xEE01 position and exported the font as TrueType and replaced the font file in /system/fonts.

Now, the big ugly square is 'repaired' ... Look at the screenshots.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Looki75:
You are a genius!

How could you find that it was that precise glyph which is the lockscreen colon?????

Anyhow, THANK YOU!!! :good:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swat4samp:
Thank you so much for this exact unicode. I've been replacing .notdef unicode with the colon, but every glyph which isn't defined in a font will use colon :D I'm still trying to find out why some character arts like ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) render fine on stock font but custom font uses .notdef unicode. I searched for the individual unicodes in stock font, but they are empty just like in custom font. Could you please share your input on this?

PS: Sorry for resurrecting an old post :silly:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] replica9000:
Thanks.! This saved me time trying to figure out which character to replace. I use fontforge on Linux and regenerated. So far so good, even though the font file is now nearly 100kb smaller now.

View attachment 4806050
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] replica9000:
A little fontforge script that will:

- add the colon to 0xEE01

- scale the font (if your font is much larger or smaller than stock)

- convert the font to TrueType (if it's not one already).

#!/usr/bin/fontforge
i=1
while ( i<$argc )
Open($argv[i])
Select(0x003A)
Copy()
Select(0xEE01)
Paste()
SelectAll ()
Scale(100)
Generate($argv[i]:r + ".ttf")
i = i+1
endloop

Works on Linux, not sure if it'll work on Windows.

Then add shortcuts by copy/paste
[P3600 Software Upgrading] b1cnrt73:

I tried skinomi,iqshield and zagg and they all had that rubbery orange peel look except the zagg but thar still felt rubbery and marks didn't go away from pushing the bubbles out. The supershieldz came 2 to a pack and I did my wife's gold and then my black sapphire. I taped the bottom to align mine and and just removed first film then flipped it on and took off second film.then I sprayed some water on top a fine mist of course and used a squeegee to remove the bubbles.the water helps a lot.the sides and corners adhered well. I usually go naked on my phones and never had any issues but hearing about the s6 edge scratching easily maybe because of the plastic substrate? I decided to throw a protector on.overall very satisfied for the price that is hard to beat for 2.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Elbrin:
There is another thread I was reading that mentioned this product so I went over to check it out. I have two phones that need protecting so, although there are two films per package, I thought I should play it safe and consider purchasing two packages. The price shown per package was $2.99 which I thought was a fantastic deal. I aborted my purchase at check out however for the following reason: the price of the item in the listing was $2.99 and the shipping said $3.99 and when I went to check out I saw I was being charged $3.99 per item. The cost of the items was $5.98 and the shipping was $7.98. To me that seemed a bit odd. I will be honest, I have not used Amazon in a while but back in the day the shipping was on a per order basis - not per item. Also, $3.99 for shipping of a $2.99 item seemed a bit out there. I did notice that Amazon was not fulfilling the order and that it would be shipped from the seller. The experience reminded me of the TV ads that claim to throw in a second item free as long as you pay separate shipping and handling, but when you read the fine print the shipping is like $20 or $30.

If this is a good product and the company is legit, I will reconsider, but as of right now I am skeptical.

i just ordered this. it is shipping via dhl which means it is shipping from abroad. this probably explains the weird shipping

This morning it was perfectly fine and I was doing things I regularly do on my phone and then the phone crashed and I wasn't able to do what I was doing previously I can't turn off the screen like it did, so I rebooted it.

Stock Apps

I'm thinking of rooting my phone to have a clear out of the stock apps because after the lollipop update I have <500mb remaining storage.

I have gone through the stock apps and calculated I can free up 300+

I was just wondering, I know HTC advises against removing stock apps but what are the actual consequences of uninstalling these apps?

Apps like Twitter and Hangouts I have no problem removing because I know exactly what they are for and will not be using them (plus if I ever change my mind they are available in the app store). It is the apps below I am unsure about:

1. Internet Browser (82mb) - I have Google Chrome installed so do not require 2 browsers.

2. Google Play Services (125mb) - I update ALL of my apps manually and do not require auto-update assistance.

3. Cloud Print, Dot View, My Google Drive, HTC Account, Push Client, HTC Guide

Are there any major consequences of removing these apps?

Thanks guys :)

If you're rooted then you can disable write protection setup additional partition on SDcard and run link2SD.

If you don't want to root your phone the only option is to stop and disable the app then uninstall updates. That should save you some space and prevent the updates from downloading.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2Legs:
I had the same issue on my Moto E (XT1021). The update process gave a warning of what space was required but I hadn't checked. My spare space in internal memory was almost wiped out.

As a retired chap I wasn't likely to rush out and buy a new phone with more memory. I had just bought mine less than a year ago. So I looked at what I needed and how to get more memory back. This brought me to the idea of binning what Google stuff I can and installing 3rd party apps that can be moved to the SD card. I replaced the likes of Chrome, Camera, Gallery, Photo also 'removing' Drive, Books, Games, Music, Newstand, Text-to-Speech, Hangouts, Maps, Quickoffice, Street View, Talkback, Cloud Print and much of the Motorola stuff like Assist, Alert. 'removing' means uninstalling the app updates in 'Settings'

As a result I now have 700Mb free in internal memory. I'm looking to replace the supplied email and calendar apps with 3rd party stuff but many (most?) can't be moved to SD card.

PS. My phone worked fine after the update but my wife's Moto E will re-optimise after every power-up. I haven't the heart to tell her I might have to factory-reset it - not just yet :(

Hope the above helps!
