[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HasH_BrowN:
Could flash different GApps zip

The first four are from LG (uninstall weather theme and freeze/disable other 3). The rest of the apps listed are from Google. You can uninstall any of the Google apps you don't need or want, without any issues.

If you are wanting to remove that many Google apps, I suggest getting a smaller sized GApps package (look for Micro, Nano, or Pico) here on XDA. PA GApps 4.4.x. Scroll down to middle of first post, you'll find them there.

If you get an error when flashing, reboot the device and delete (1)Play Services (2)Play Store

I would not use the Pico package if you want to use Google Voice Typing, it doesn't have Google Search. I personally use the Nano package and it works just fine. :good:

Thanks a lot HasH_BrowN!

Can you to explain me why I have to freeze/disable some of them but not uninstall?

Is it thrue next decleration? : Please remember, if you freeze apps and then apply an update without "thawing"/"unfreezing" the apps, you could get into a boot loop.

Hao I can to escape this?

.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HasH_BrowN:
You don't want to uninstall the LG components, because they will cause problems.

The LGsetupwizard is needed after factory resets disable, but defrost before factory reset

The remotecall service is an application that allows support representatives to remotely access customer mobile devices to identify and resolve issues disable/freeze

The LGhome is your home launcher. disable/freeze after you get a replacement

As far as a bootloop, make a backup in Titanium. I have an LG and I freeze system apps without any issues, but I always make a backup.

If I have helped you any please press thanks!

My favorite IR remote app, AnyMote, seems to have trouble with the G4. Are there any apps that support it?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evo8owner:
The built in remote app actually works really well,give it a try!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nadram:
The G4 comes with an IR app called quick remote. Working pretty good for me, and as far as I know, more comprehensive and easy to use than anything on the Play Store.

If you don't have it, get it from the settings, about phone, update center app updates
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyrres:
Smart remote works nicely and has a big big library of remotes. Not the cheapest (or at least it used to be quite pricey) but I bit the bullet and its the best one I have tried.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
Ah, didn't even see that in the app drawer. It's always a pain to sort through the bloat.

This Smart Remote? That's the app I've always used in the past, but it wouldn't work with my Samsung TV when I tested it out yesterday.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyrres:
That one. Very weird. Maybe contact the developer and ask to add the remote.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willjohnson:
I agree. I have been using that app for a while and never had trouble. Using it now on my G4 with remotes backed up from an S6.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
Hmm, maybe it's my TV. This is the first time using it with that specific model, but the LG app worked. I'll have to give it another look. Thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris.Buntspecht:
Hi,

First of all: I have already read a lot of threads about this topic, but none of them was able to help me so far.

I have a broken Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300). The screen doesn't work anymore. And when I say it does not work, I mean it: Nothing is displayed and it doesn't react to touch gestures any more, it is completely dark. Nevertheless my phone still works. The LED lights up, when I turn on the phone and my computer recognizes the phone. But I am not able to access the data on my phone as it is locked. I already removed the SIM Card to avoid being prompted to enter the PIN, but there is still the screen lock, which i can not pass.

Unfortunatelly I have USB Debugging disabled, so I can not access it via ADB. When i type adb shell the response is just "device not found" and (surprise surprise) when i type adb devices the list is empty.

Is there a way to get my phone to work with ADB again? Tried to start it in recovery mode with Volume Up, Home Button and Power, but that didn't work out either.

I am grateful for every hint

Cheerio

[XDA Assist] xda_xperia:
HI Everyone,

This is my first thread. Recently came across xdadevelopers forum. I am using Sony Xperia ZL C6502 for about 2.5 years now. Few days ago, when I was using the camera app, it crashed and shut off unexpectedly. Then when i tried turning it on , it keeps switching off after the point where it says 'SONY XPERIA' (generally within 3-5 seconds). Firstly , I was able to switch it on properly while on the charging mode and work with it when battery is charged upto 70 % and more. But the problem got severe and now even when I charge it, it keep repeating this loop of switching on and switching off at ' SONY XPERIA' as mentioned above forcing me to open the battery switch from inside and switch it off or by pushing it into either flashmode or fastboot mode. Even this restarting process consumes alot of battery and battery level dips very fast without any heating or so. I only manage to switch it on properly sometimes by means of charging the battery upto the level and then switching on and using it while still charging ( this works one in the fifty times). I have tried flashing new lollipop version and even tried repairing thru PC companion. No Progress. Went to service centre , they said it is some boot supply issue and battery and boot supply needed to be replaced :confused: . I am doubtful as of now if I either use it solely on charger or battery or if i use it on both.. the problem is same.

Is it a battery issue or a corrupt bootloader or something not in my knowledge. I have tried this flashtool. Suggest me what should I do now . Final alternative will be to shed money to the service centre. PLEASE HELP :rolleyes:

[Android Studio] ranvijay2:
Hi I needed to know something about the application or script which works on the following phases.

1. Login/Signup with Your Social Media Profiles (user got registered with facebook).

2. Application shows the list of facebook friends who are already available on this platform as registered users.

3. Options at the right side of the list to connect individually or all selected on this platform (even they are already connected on Facebook).

4. Someone posted a query on the application

5. How application can show which of the user's friends are connected to the thread opener or how can get introduced (by whom) to the thread opener.

6. Or, How thread opener can see, "With whom the reply poster is connected to on facebook, are they connected to him too, if not how to get introduced?

The result I want to achieve : I want to see the credibility of the thread opener or the reply posters based on their social connectivity ?

Is it possible ?

Thanks

>Change Screen Resolution<

Introduction:

I'm going to write this guide to teach you how to change the

Screen Resolution

of your Xiaomi Mi3/Mi4 AOSP/CM Based ROM to improve the graphics performance of your Mi3 without stressing your CPU/GPU while playing games.

What you need to

Download

:

Resolution Changer by NoMone:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...apk&pcampaignid=APPU_1_TXl1VcrLFoWB8QXozIGIBA

Root Browser:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ser&pcampaignid=APPU_1_oXl1VczIG4_s8AX7-YLQCQ

Note: Default Screen Resolution of Xiaomi Mi 3 is 1080x1920FHD [MENTION=302803]480[/MENTION] DPI, well what we are going to do is Change it into 720x1280HD [MENTION=2539186]320[/MENTION] to improve performance. (Don't worry about getting the icons bigger, the reason why we have to reduce the DPI on the Build.prop is to avoid glitches and make the Icons and UI at the normal size when changing the resolution, because using the

Resolution Changer

alone will cause some glitches on other apps )

Steps:

1. Open Root Browser; and find /system/build.prop and open it using RB Text Editor.

2. Find ro.sf.lcd_density=480 and change it to 320.

3. Click Save.

4. Open Resolution Changer; Enter 720 Width, 1280 Height, 320 DPI

5. Click Apply and wait for it to change.

6. Click Yes to Confirm and Skip on the next dialog.

7. Now exit the app and Reboot.

After rebooting, you'll see that you've changed the Screen Resolution to FHD>HD. :good:

Congratulation, to prove it do an Antutu Benchmark test and you'll see the difference. :good:

Additional Info:

(OPTIONAL IF YOU'RE USING CUSTOM DPI ON FULL HD)

If you were using a custom DPI on FULL HD for example;

You're using 400 or 380 or 370 on 1080x1920FHD Resolution,

Do these to properly change resolution to avoid getting the UI or Icons Bigger than Normal.

Example;

If you are using 400DPI on 1080x1920FHD.

400÷3=133DPI

400-133=

267DPI

so the right DPI that you're going to use would be;

267DPI on 720x1280HD

PLEASE, DONT FORGET to CLICK THANKS!​
[Mi 3 General] Silac_8:
Everything is working almost perfectly. Some icons are larger than they used to be. But that wasn't problem. Real problem is that SwiftKey keyboard didn't scale. So I had to revert back to Google original keyboard to reset resolution back to 1080p
[Mi 3 General] lethalchronus:
Oh I forgot to write something about Swift Keyboard, Sorry since I used Google Keyboard. but aside from Swiftkey everything is fine :good:
[Mi 3 General] bluerain28:
I have done this years ago. Not only CM/AOSP but all rooted phones. :D

Thanks for putting some guide though. :good::fingers-crossed:
[Mi 3 General] lethalchronus:
I wrote this guide for those who are confused and experiencing glitches when using the Resolution Changer

alone

and of course for the beginners ;)
[Mi 3 General] lethalchronus:
added additional info.
[Mi 3 General] bluerain28:
I just noticed. I used 294 DPI for 720x1280 :D
[Mi 3 General] lethalchronus:
Alright! ?
[Mi 3 General] pra300:
Initially tried this with MIUI v5, turned out to be very bad. The icons became very large and going to back to native resolution didn't help either. Fortunately I had nandroid backup.

Later I tried it on MIUI 6, it worked!

Some glitches are there:

- On recent apps screen

- camera effects selection screen

- Calender and clock icons turned invisible

- Minor glitches in clock app

Otherwise everything looks good, and performance bump is noticeable. Excited to find out how much it improves battery life.

Thanks for sharing.
[Mi 3 General] lethalchronus:
No problem :)

that's why it's for CM/AOSP Based ROM but I'm glad that it worked for you though there are some glitches.

Hi im using a a33 tab with screen dpi 160 and 480x800 resolution. Can I change this to higher resolution and dpi?

sent from xda app in my s710 using tapatalk . (*ﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ
[Mi 3 General] lethalchronus:
You can but, I won't recommend it because it would just stress out the processor and gpu of that low-end tablet, just leave that be.
[Mi 3 General] Aka9413:
Better use gl tools
[Mi 3 General] Jongla:
While everyone gets larger icons,i am getting small icons,small screen,and all the app including resolution changer itself says the current settings is 1080x1920 with 320dpi.

Where am i doing it wrong?

I am on cm12 latest nightly.
[Mi 3 General] QQboss:
same problem as Jongla here, running the same CM 12 nightlies. I guess the problem is that resolution changer doesnt change anything after you apply, current settings are kept as FHD res. Maybe try a different app to do it.
[Mi 3 General] Jongla:
Try this method.Its easier and works just fine.

[Mi 3 General] zhugeliang01:
It's become blurry, not clear like before
[Mi 3 General] JBolho:
Guys, if you're using a CM rom, just install Xposed and install the App Setting module. Then, you just choose the app, turn on the custom settings, choose the resolution and dpi you want, and the app will run with those defenitions without having to mess with the entire UI on the device...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreadful man:
Are there any tutorials to learn creating one's own rooting method via PC?

I mean, the devs who create methods to root a device manually, where do they learn it to do it?:confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTXz:
Hey, from what I know these are some methods that moonbutt74 told me. Be aware that I and he never got to the point of trying them.

1st you need to know if you have a locked bootloader. If yes, then I can't help you here

Method 1.

Set up your ADB shell. Once thats done run :

cat /proc/cpuinfo

Collect your processor specs and look if you can peg the device on kernel "family" source and GPU family.

Now this is where you will fake it and most likely soft brick. Do a comparison of a similar device and find out if chainfire has a cd-autoroot for the comparison device. You will need to be able to compile a working kernel for the mystery device, then you will need to break down the cf-autoroot package and modify it. It gets stranger from here. As best as I understand the layout, chainfire build a "generic" recovery / kernel for the device in question [Samsung] when the image flashes, it writes to cache and when the device reboots, it begins executing predefined instructions from cache, backs up the stock recovery, writes cf-autoroot recovery, roots the device and then reflashes the stock recovery.

Method 2.

Pull the stock recovery.img or boot.img via adb from your phone.

If you can get the boot.img or the recovery.img successfully, find out how to unpack it and ONLY CHANGE THE DEFAULT PROP ENTRY FOR

ro.secure=1

to

ro.secure=0

and the same for

ro.adb.secure=1

to

ro.adb.secure=0

Then repack the with the signature key intact. DO NOT LOOSE THE ORIGINAL STOCK IMG (srsly don't. You will end up begging in the forum for a new one). If you succeed with that and successfully write back the img without boot.img or recovery.img being broken, you can then access the device trough a unsecured recovery.img via adb and hopefully push a good su binary to system/xbin. The permission of the su binary should be set to 6754 or 6744.

Now this all depends on if you have the tools for writing to the device and find out if fastboot is accessible etc.

You are most likely going to brick of you slam head first into it. Take one step and see where it takes you and take Notes.

Method 3.

While this had been mentioned in method 2. you can build or port a custom recovery for your device. Tough I yet didn't take the time to learn how that works. Once you got the custom recovery, download supersu.zip and flash it via custom recovery.

Good luck

[XDA Assist] Gyph256:
tldr: Looking for a dump on stock NAE firmware of the SPH-L720. Feel free to block out anything pertaining to IMEI, ect, all of that is in tact.

Some freak accident caused some NV values to be written with SGH-M919 data.

The full story:

I was running Insane Kit Kat V11 on this device which works great for T-Mobile (no LTE though... we'll get back to this).

After tinkering with a few modem files and whatnot I stumbled across an article on how to enable missing LTE bands on devices by editing the NV data. After kicking around with the idea I finally concluded it wasn't going to work.

If you're going to tinker with this idea at all I suggest using the DFS CDMA Tool. Its very simple to use compared to the other NV read/write utilities and has built in band selection (so no worrying about doing any silly calculations).

SSU.apk was used to unlock the phone any time the SIM was not recognized.

Conclusion: T-Mobile LTE will not function on this device no matter how you attempt to coax it.

Alright no problem. I'll just do an NV_Restore operation from my phone's Service Menu.

Only I'm running on firmware for the SGH-M919...

Phone reboots. Starts popping errors.

Alright... I'll flash to factory NAE.

The phone pops even more errors and the phone is crawling. Windows recognises it as an SGH-M919 even with stock SPH-L720 firmware now.

I managed to get to the Service Menu waiting a good 10 seconds between each keypress.

I was finally able to restore some correct NV data as now it registers to Sprint again and is able to run the CPU properly, however, now even on V11 I am unable to connect to any GSM providers.

As well, on stock firmware the device is still seen as SGH-M919 by windows when connecting as a media device.

An NV dump from a stock SPH-L720 would be fantastic. I know I should have backed this up beforehand, but I wasn't looking to edit more than the two values for LTE. Help :(
[XDA Assist] Gyph256:
NV Dump Instructions:

Prerequites:

Odin

Samsung USB Drivers for Mobile Phones

DFS CDMA Tool

Stock NAE Rom

MDC Modem – (Flash with Odin in Phone slot in Recovery mode after flashing NAE).

Sprint Samsung Unlocker – (If your phone is SIM locked)

TWRP Recovery – (To make flashing back more simple)

SPC Utility – (If you don’t have your SPC code. May be unnecessary)

Instructions:

Setup:

1.	Make a backup of your phone using whatever recovery means you’d like.

2.	Install Odin

3.	Install Samsung USB Drivers for Mobile Phones

4.	Install DFS CDMA Tool

5.	Flash Stock NAE Rom following the instructions listed in that thread.

6.	Flash MDC Modem with phone in recovery mode using Odin placing the file in “Phone” slot.

7.	Flash TWRP Recovery using Odin in the PDA slot to enable flashing of CFW after completed.

8.	Launch into recovery mode (hold vol up, menu, power) clear dalvik/cache (possibly format) and install SuperSU on exit.

9.	Boot phone and run setup, connect to Wifi.

10.	Install SPC Utility apk and run to retrieve your SPC code. Requires internet access.

11.	Install Sprint Samsung Unlocker and run to SIM unlock your phone.

This should bring you to a fresh rooted SIM unlocked SPH-L720 and have all the utilities needed to complete backing up NV values.

Now to put the phone in diagnostic mode and backup NV data:

1.	Go to your dialer and type ##3424# Be sure to type ##. Most commands are *# so this can be confusing.

2.	It may or may not ask for your SPC code. Enter it if it does.

3.	Select the RNDIS + DM + Modem mode. (you may need to click Qualcomm USB Settings first)

4.	Once in Diagnostic mode connect VIA usb to your PC.

5.	You should see two new Samsung devices install.

6.	Launch the DFS CDMA Tool.

7.	Double click the first Samsung COM device

8.	Enter the SPC where highlighted yellow and press the NV button highlighted in red.

9.	This menu should appear. Click “Read Range” highlighted in yellow and wait for a while. After it is completed you should see a list of values appear. Click the Plus highlighted in red and save the NVF file.

That should get me what I need. Feel free to use TWRP to flash any CFW or Odin to flash any Modem you’d like after the fact.

Again any help is appreciated. These instructions should make the work easier.

You will forever have my gratitude and possibly some cash when I get paid on the 6/19.
