[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcmarshall:
I recently flashed CM12.1 on my S3. I was running rooted stockmod 4.3. Everthing went fine. I made a nandroid first. I was able to flash back to with my nandroid and then back to a nandroid of CM12. I tried to flash back again and booted into Touchwiz ROM with no Google services and most of many (too) many apps gone. I then tried to flash back to my CM12 Lollipop nandroid in recovery and got stuck in a bootloop. I could not get past the the Teamwin screen.

Even though my USB port is dicey I was able to use ODIN on my pc to flash back to stockmod_root 66. I then installed TWRP using TWRP manager on device. This went fine.

I then tried to flash back to CM12 in recovery using my nanback but the phone reboots after a few seconds with any task, even just wiping partitions. I am also now getting an error message after trying to load the same stockmod I used successfully earlier. The message is in Chinese so I have no idea what it says.

Any hope here?

Edit: I managed to load the stock image in ODIN and it is flashing now. Still do not understand what did wrong so as not to be able to restore my nan back of CM12. Was there a problem with my installation of TWRP with TWRP manager?

Thanks

As the title suggests, i need help removing these ugly buttons from recent apps, i am rooted and xposed is active, can anyone suggest a method to remove those using a module or something else :)
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troy5890:
Just disable the Running module and reboot the device.

Well, i am talking about the three buttons in circle that are part of the zenui, not the navigation bar..

I don't think you can delete those buttons. They're apart of the ZenUI.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FMecha:
My parents bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE few days ago to replace my broken Galaxy Tab 7 Plus (ghost touches). It has XEF (France) CSC and ROM, and it has built-in French apps (which I promptly disabled due to irrelevance).

I've downloaded the XSP (Singapore) ROM to permanently get rid of it. Since the regions of both ROMs are different, will the CSC be changed? Having all PDA/Phone/CSC regions match is required by OTA and Kies.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Yes it will change the CSC, but it should be fine as long as you do a factory reset first; I assume when you say ROMs you are in fact referring to Samsung official firmware builds and flashing them through Odin. OTA is unnecessary because you can just use Odin to update if Samsung ever decides to update the 7.0 and/or 8.0, and using Kies is just counter-productive in my opinion, I've heard of all sorts of problems and Odin is far superior anyway.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FMecha:
Does this mean I have to factory reset in advance, or do I reset it during or after flashing? And what happens if I don't factory reset it?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Factory reset it before flashing. It will probably be laggy and some apps will force close a lot if you don't

Old thread but some1 might get hits on it. :)

My PDA phone (HTC p3300) with wm6 has a different key name for the same values due to (i suppose) the option to have different backlight for AC power and battery power. So you do want to change the timeout, only u get to do it twice ;)

HK_CURRENT_USER\BackLight\BatteryTimeout

and

HK_CURRENT_USER\BackLight\ACTimeout

-value is in actual seconds-

I myst be tired. Didnt read the thread properly,This belongs in another thread i belive since my tweak is about display backlight. There isnt so many hits on the subject so ill just leave it as it is for some1 to find. Cheers

Thanx for a great forum. cheers :cool:

Or in other words, the xperia z3 have "The drivers" in order to install the IMX220, or if I want to make this change, I have to modify the Kernel?

Thank you in advance.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macianer:
I think you would need to write new drivers. Don't think they come with the Z3.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
You can, bur you will spend so much time and effort and money to do this, that is much easier and cheaper to buy new phone instead.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david.t_92:
Well, I know that it's more easy to buy a new phone, but this summer I'll have too much time

I don't think that it will be too much money and time, I only have to buy a the new camera that cost 20$ aprox.

And with the drivers, I think, "I don't know if I'm right, and this is the reason I create this post", that I only have to uncompress the kernel, find the side where is located the camera driver, and change this part of code for the code that have the Z4.

I repeat, I've never done a modification of the kernel, so I don't know her internal structure, If you say me that It will be very very dificult I won't do it.

The objective is not to improve the camera, is to do something this summer, instead of making android applications

Thank you

I see that all mobile devices use imx074.c driver, is this possible?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
I assume even the stock camera app would need changes? Not to mention where would you get the unit, how do you know it will fit/have same connectors?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infinitylook:
I'm really interested to know as well, if that's the case then i would be happy to change my camera but I'm pessimistic about the connector and the size of the camera as well. I don't think it won't fit. Is IMX230 the one is GS6?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infinitylook:
Some picture of the 230 sensor k Googled them
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
The chances of it properly fitting with the lens/optics is slim to none. Not even all IMX220 implementations are equal due to different optics, and having a mismatch between the vignetting/distortion corrections for one optical assembly with another cause issues. (See CyanogenMod on the Z3 - using old 4.3 rhine camera blobs causes issues due to the Z3 having slightly different optics.)

The camera HALs are highly proprietary (no source code available) and tuned specifically to each device. Even if you managed to port the kernel side of the camera driver, you'll be missing a device-appropriate HAL stack, and the HAL is where the software "heavy lifting" actually occurs.

Retrofitting an IMX230 like this will be unlikely to work at all, and even if it does work, it'll result in poor image quality due to the HALs for any existing IMX230 implementation not matching what would be found if you retrofitted the sensor into a Z3.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Q4bert:
Any news? I'm interested in it too... my project is about a complete new camera starting from the IMX230 sensor. You can find it on aliexpress for 15 usd. Than a MIPI module is required, with hdmi/video out. It doesn't sound too difficult...

With Android you can do all. With Android TV no. Now and forever because Android TV was invented for TV manufacturers that want a limited OS to better sell their services.

This is what I understand but I hope to be wrong.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgersen:
completly wrong.

Android TV is a full Android plus new TV features (search,recommendations,background playback). It's not limited.

It's just the launcher and the store that 'filter' apps that are not specifically optimized for a TV experience (= with a remote instead of touchscreen).

Savvy people can sideload and use any apps on Android TV.

But the goal of Google and TV manufacturers isn't to provide a system for savvy users, that would be a niche market and not worth their time & money.

They want a system anyone can use, the average user. A simple to use and consistent interface from app to app, while keeping the full power of Android behind the scene. Because nothing is more confusing for the average guy than using a 'made for touchscreen' app on a TV or using apps with different 'UI behavior' , it's the best way for him to throw away the whole thing in the trashcan ;)

TV manufacturers don't sell services anyway, they sell TV...
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zulu99:
Is a FACT that with Android we can do all. Also specific things of Android TV. The inverse is not possible. But i'm very sorry of this :)

But this is not problem, the important fact is that Nvidia Shield Console have very good hardware and finally we can have a good full Android device connected to our TV.

The choice from Android TV and full Android is a reality so advanced users can have the alternative.

If it was not a question of money / forced limitations, should be more simple create a specific Launcher for TV that all can download from Google Play and specific apps more accessible with a dpad also downloadable for all from Google Play.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgersen:
no

Android TV is Android + more features..

I don't get what you can do with Android that you can't do with Android TV.

Actually it's the contrary: you can do stuff with Android TV that you can't do with Android, for instance acting as a Chromecast (Google Cast Receiver) or displaying a video in the background of your launcher (home screen) from an app.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zulu99:
Only one example of others million, install chrome browser and observe how it look bad at 320 dpi. :) Like the most negative phone of 10 years ago.

Android TV is a stripped down version of Android full of limitations.

Chromecast functionality are possible also on full Android.

Android is Android because you can install and update million of apps directly from Google Play. Android without apps is nothing. This is also the difference with Windows Phone, Ubuntu Phone and many others OS that dream the android apps ecosystem.

The actual number of Android apps in Google Play is a reality because independent developers thought that Android would have been a real open source OS, no longer thinks so after so many closures.

Apart that every single standard app is better and faster than the leanback version. Try Youtube as example to better understand. Life is too short to waste time with the directionals keys. Was already a failure on old Smart TV.

But if in the world there are people that bought an Iphone, This justifies even people who prefer Android TV :)

My interest is not to be right about this, i'm very happy with full Android. I'm just sharing my experience and i know Android quite well.

[MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION] I have a nexus player, I'm currently running CM12.1 but even on stock there was not much I couldn't do.

There is an app to allow easy use of sideloaded apps, a keyboard/trackpad combo let's you navigate without the directional keys on everything but the lean back laucher. Only thing I wasn't able to do is get the VPN working well (had to use separate VPN app, no built in VPN). I'm not saying ATV is better then Normal Android, just that you can do almost anything with a little effort. ATV is Android, same kernel and the core is built on the same code as normal Android.

Android is still very much an open ecosystem. Yes some things are locked away, but nothing as draconian as Apple or Microsoft. Even without root a lot more is possible on a system running Android then any other comparable platform (Android wear vs WatchOS, Android vs iOS, etc). I respect that you are a developer, I just think your 100% wrong in your view on ATV.

I'll be getting the Shield soon as a gaming/streaming TV console for an upcoming multi month work trip.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgersen:
If Chrome looks bad on TV isn't because of the OS... You "know Android quite well" but you clearly don't know what is an OS and what is an app and where the 'frontier' between the two is.

You're confusing a lot of things and mixing things up.

Plz do show me Chromecasting Netflix for instance on what you call "full Android" (which I just call "Android").
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machx1111:
I agree with Zulu. If you want locked down hardware and software, please go buy an Apple TV. And you also probably have no reason to go to XDA developers as this site is all about tweaking. Without root, what tweaking are you doing?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenjiHansell:

I get that you don't personally find it useful but your comments seem to be borderline insulting considering the effort zulu99 has gone to. This forum really isn't the place for criticism unless it's constructive.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgersen:
wth are you talking about? did you even read our comments ?

I never said we mustn't root or do alternative ROM or that I want locked-down devices and software.

We're just talking about Android vs Android TV.

I just don't get why people waste their time porting CM or a 'smartphone/tablet/touch' version of Android to the Shield when it already has a full OS: Android TV and that NVidia already provides all the source and tools to build your own firmware for it: https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-open-source

I think they're just transposing what they had to do on smartphones and tablets because OEMs won't release the sources and tools to build your own firmware, to a new device just because it also run Android... They didn't bother looking up or asking NVidia...

Android TV is Android, if you don't like the 'TV' part just don't use it, go download the source code from NVidia and adapt/change what you don't want or add new features. If you prefer to use an UI made for touch on a TV that's your choice...hell you can even adapt Linux for Tegra for the Shield if you want Ubuntu instead of Android.

I'm all for tinkering and rooting but do it right, even more when the manufacturer can help you do so.

Use Lollirock firmware on Nexus Player and no cyanogenmod if you want a regular Android firmware in which you can install all from Google Play.

I respect the classic Cyanogenmod development / firmwares, but on Nexus Player the cyanogenmod firmware is just a strange hybrid. It use many parts of Android TV. Usually Cyanogenmod add things to Android, on the nexus player it remove things from Android :)

Not really useful. Read posts of users to better understand.

In lollirock firmware thread in the last part there are comparisons made by users.

---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 AM ----------

About you, instead of writing things without sense, present to us your work. We will happy to test.

What are you doing for others people ?

If you like Android TV why you write here ?

Please i don't want problems with others users.

I'm already exposing myself too much.

But is necessary to demonstrate that we understand very well when things are necessary and others things are just made to protect economic interests against the fair competitive laws.

Apart all, is not most useful that you can do more things instead of be able to do just what others wants ?

Why we should remain closed in the Android TV that is a "Walled Garden". Because you don't like ?

Two things are always better than one. :)

p.s.

Netflix work well in full Android firmware, like google movies app and all others DRM players.

Chromecast functionality are working too.

Usually i use Chromecast functionality only if there isn't an app to do it natively inside the box. Is stupid stream with chromecast if you can have it native inside the box. But you can do all with quite all apps. also screen mirroring is possible. tested with my galaxy s6 and nexus7

All others Leanback-Only apps are working well ( 10 / 11 in total :) )

also xposed framework is beautiful to tweak your firmware.

When i read comments like your i'm very happy, because usually mean that the firmware works very very well :)

What many people not know is that in Google Plus, Facebook and also in xda forum like in others forum, users can be paid to do good reviews and support some platforms, just to make advertisement. Attention when you read.

RELY ON TESTS MADE ONLY BY YOURSELF
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
I'm enjoying the hybrid model used on CM. I get that its not for everyone, was just using it as an example.

I am able to do almost anything I could do on my phone on the TV. Does it all work perfectly? Of course not. Many apps are designed around a multi touch screen, my TV does not have a touchscreen at all. I just don't understand why you feel Android TV is more locked down then standard android. I was able to use es explorer to side load anything I wanted. Does not mean it worked (some apps are not programmed for directional keys and rely on touch input only, so they needed a mouse. Once I got that set up I can use anything fairly well. I have Amazon prime music working great for example, and I have prime videos loaded (haven't used it yet, netflix and hulu have my attention right now). This is all doable on androidTV, can't do it on my Roku, all I can get for amazon music is the non-prime stuff.

I can only think one think of one thing ATV can't do (native VPN) and one thing stock android can't do (well haven't tried sideloading the app yet) and that's receive a chrome cast stream, or send a chrome cast from one phone to tablet or whatever. Mostly the two versions seem comparable, the differences are in the stock apps (read Launcher and play store).
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zulu99:
With Android we can install all apps simply from Google Play and all works better at 220 / 230 dpi. Touch-only apps are not a problem, with DroidMote i can use very well multi-touch apps and games.

You will search manually for every single apk when an update is available ? Get it from your phone, upload and reinstall. Baaaaaaaa

Good Luck

Today i used all the day the Shield Console with full Android firmware and i can say it is Super. I installed and tested all benchmark apps, all others my preferred apps. All work super smooth and i like this hardware. I will never turn back on Android TV
