[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terry T:
My DSL is down, now I have nothing on my Home screen; is this expected? I thought I would still be able to access "local" apps like Plex, but I have nothing.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harlekinrains:
Indeed - you do.

(I'm not supporting any Plex related requests. People who depend on Plex, for me are lost. Someone else point him/her to how to use a second launcher in parallel.)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terry T:
I already understand Plex, and I have played around with other launchers on the Stick I just happen to like the stock launcher. Kind of disappointing that stock use of the stick is dead without internet access.

Thanks for the feedback.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harlekinrains:
If no one else is stepping up, I guess I have to. Not because of the (very slight) passive aggressive note in your response. ;)

"Already understanding Plex" is just another way of saying "I dont even want to learn something different".

Complaining about Amazons design decisions, especially those that are supporting their business model (the value of "always on" to them) is entirely futile. Much more so when you are complaining in here (not many PR guys at the dance).

And the solution for your problem would be to use FIrestarter (just one sub forum away).

Just dont use Plex if you can avoid it. They have made political decisions based on catering to the lowest common denominator of user expertise, which dont make sense from any other standpoint. And they catered to content provider interests in providing them a way to impose platform specific rights management. They are the flag bearers of a world we are trying to avoid. Where perceived convenience wins by default. Every time. Regardless. And they are exploiting Kodis open source base to be able to do it.

Also, their only claim to fame was to be able to circumvent a rights management issue on Apple devices, by throwing computational cycles (transcode your entire library!) at it. Thats a faulty business model that only can exist, because people are making uninformed buying decision, and then start caring later.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeptic_always:
Wow, ok, so you hate Plex. Forget about Plex for a minute, his complaint is still valid. No internet = no home screen = no access to anything. Substitute "local games" or XBMC or any of several other apps that don't require internet access for Plex. Call it a design flaw or intended behavior, it doesn't do us any good. He also wasn't originally complaining, just asking if that's the way it works.

On a positive note, I didn't know there were replacement launchers that didn't require root (I haven't been following those kinds of things), but since you mentioned it I had to check. I may look into it and give it a try when I have more time.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harlekinrains:
Firestarter works. I tried it the day I read your question, setting up a blocking rule for the Fire TV on my router. You should be satisfied - when you get to testing it out. :)

Also, if I get people to show a little initiative - like you posting, that this is indeed a solution for non rooted devices and not waiting until someone explains the solutions to you, its worth it.

Also, as far as Plex is concerned, this is an opportunity for me to stress, why people shouldnt be using it, and that there are conditions which Plex was willing to satisfy to get listed in the Amazon store, that are harmful to consumer rights. Part of the price for me to get involved, is to get some of you in touch with a little bit of the ideology behind those projects.

To complain that amazon is doing certain things is not the end of evolution, when you could (and maybe should) also understand, why they are doing certain things. :)

Have fun.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeptic_always:
Ideology (and going way off topic) aside, Plex generally works well. I prefer XBMC for the most part, but Plex does have some advantages and can do things XBMC or others can't. Plex can be installed right from the store, XBMC has to be side-loaded. Plex runs on Roku, XBMC just doesn't (blocked by Roku, not a technical issue). Nothing gets transcoded by my Plex server for local playback, but if I want remote access to my media where streaming speed or device limitations require transcoding it just works. I also share my videos with a friend as well as watch videos he has. You can hate the hows and whys of what Plex does, but depending on your needs Plex is still a good product.

All that said, let me be completely honest. Other than not allowing gray area or blatant piracy type add-ons, I'm not aware of any harmful consumer rights practices. What else are they doing that I should be concerned about?

[XDA Assist] sritesh1989:
Hey Guys need you HELP.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 which was running on android 4.3 (official rom). I rooted the device and also flashed ClockworkMod Recovery which was successfull.

I tried few roms and it did not work and i got an error which siad I have a d2spr device and the rom i was trying to install was meant for d2tmo.

now how is that possible? d2spr is for Sprint and d2tmo is for T-Mobile... and my device is T999 (T Mobile) (I REALIZED THIS AFTER MESSING UP MY DEVICE)

Later I flashed it with a custom rom via recovery menu and after that i tried loading GAPPS also from recovery mode. The custom rom was ok but gapps failed to install.

After falshing the custom rom i checked about device and it says the model number was dat of a sprint mobile (i747)

I tried other custom roms and gapps.zip but now my phone will not boot...when i turn it on it shows the SGS3 CWM screen and reboots into recovery.

No luck trying to flash it with a stock rom using odin either.

NEED SERIOUS HELP PLEASE!
[XDA Assist] jd1639:
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. First, only flash roms that are specific for your exact device. With your model number changing like it is it appears you've flashed some roms for other devices.

TWRP for tmo https://blck.io/twrp-2.8.6.0v2-zeroltetmo.img

You can use flashify from playstore to install it. So far the easiest way w/o using a pc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mrnovanova:
Flashing a recovery after rooting with ping pong completely defeats the purpose as custom recoveries trip knox.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Lancerz:
But rooting with ping pong is the simplest way, whether someone chooses to flash a custom recovery or not. With ping pong and flashify you can do it all while you're out and about with no need for a pc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mrnovanova:
If you put it that way. As a simple rooting alternative if you're not concerned with tripping Knox. You do have a point. I didn't know you didn't mind tripping Knox tbh.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gr4v1ty:
So installing TWRP recovery will trip the KNOX if I understood right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mrnovanova:
Yes. That is correct.

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

That is a very good point. What I'm saying is that the main reason to flash with ping pong is to not trip KNOX. You're right If you root with ping pong and use flashify to flash twrp it does make a great un-tethered alternative for flashing a custom rom. That would merit a thread all its own though.

Popup Browser & Popup Browser Launcher

The popup browser cant be launched directly or from a shortcut. It relies on a url activity being pushed to it to launch properly.

Users were complaining that the popup browser didn't have a shortcut for direct launching so I ported an old launcher to work with Lollipop so now they can launch the popup browser directly.

Google has been set as the direct launch home page.

The original popup browser came from here:

Having succesfully bricked my orbit like several others, I spent the morning scratching my head....

I think it was caused by rebooting after running USPL, and then runnig the ROM upgrade....anyway........

What I did

Download german rom update from german site

http://www.o2online.de/nw/support/do...bit/index.html

Using WinRAR

http://www.win-rar.com/index.php?id=160&dl=wrar370.exe

Extract/Remove files from executable update file to folder on desktop or somewhere handy.

Locate nbh file from blue and black ROM or any ROM for that matter

Place in german update folder using same name as german file

ie. RUU_signed.nbh

Start Orbit in bootloader mode,

Press and hold record button and soft reset,

Plug in USB to PC,

Navigate to your extracted update folder, run ROMupdateUtility.exe, Instructions are in German,

But basically.........

Wieter = next

Abbrechen = Cancel

aktualisieren = update

The update completes succesfully and you have WM6 and an unbricked Orbit......

WOOHOO !

Your Orbit is actually from O2 UK (CID: O2___001). You have to find a ROM for O2 Orbit UK then. Unfortunately, no one has it at the moment, and O2 UK does not seem to release the update soon. You have to wait then, I guess!

One thing I wonder: This code was returned by "getdevinfo" command from within mtty or from nbh file that you tried to flash? Usually "getdevinfo" in mtty returns only ARTE10000, ARTE20000 or ARTE30000

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] Tamagochi:
You are lucky! I am sure your device is CID UNLOCKED (may be you did not know) so you could flash Black and Blue ROM. This ROM was made by HTC ROM tool and signed with SuperCID. Congratulations! You can now flash any ROM you build by HTCRT.

After getdevinfo command see what in USB sniffer. If there CID 11111111 - you are lucky - it Super CID - your device is CID Unlocked.

My problem is still actually.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] Tamagochi:
Now, Its clear. Your device might be CID LOCKED but You had flashed USPL, thats why you could flash Black and Blue ROM. The concept is quite simple: If you have USPL you can flash any ROM made by HTCRT. Remember to keep USPL every time you try to flash

Hey people, it's Moomoomania here. Realized no one has really seem to have gotten a DBrand skin for the HTC One M9 and uploaded their results so I thought I would share you with mine. First and foremost, my apologies for the crappy camera shots as I just took these photos in a span of 30 seconds (with my Nexus 9) so they're definitely not professional to any extent.

Moving on... I would like to say that this skin has definitely gotten people complementing me on the phone and asking how I got it etc. as it looks much much MUCH nicer in person and the texture is also nice on the hands. Gone are the feeling of metal but I kind of prefer this in a sense as the "sharp" metal feeling (you know what I'm saying) was beginning to become a displeasure to my fingers. The only gripes I would have with this skin was adding the camera cut-out vinyl-thing made it super ugly (so I did not add it) and I had difficulty aligning the HTC logo and the cut-out for the camera; you can see it's not perfectly straight. I would most definitely recommend anyone to purchase the HTC logo for a buck so you can align the camera cutout more pefectly and whatever slight imperfections you have with the HTC logo, it would be covered by the HTC logo pieces you have bought.

I'd like to see other peoples skins too if anyone here have gotten theirs too!
