Purchased a used Shield off Amazon because of its graphics processing specs. What nvidia services can I remove and still have screen recording capability? Plus this is a wifi only yet I see a Cell Service app running, wtf.

If this was already discussed, I apologize in advance as I need to get this sorted before July 4th. I use the Shield to take fireworks video and need the extra RAM for other services.

PLZ MIND IT THAT I DONT USE PIRATED SOFTWARES AND I AM HAVING A NON ROOTED DEVICE !

Query:

Google Play now provides APK file and also obb file along with it which was not there before. So, due to my lack of network on my smartphone, I had downloaded the app "Microsoft Word" & "My talking tom" from my PC which provided me an APK file and another one is obb file. I followed the instructions from youtube and copied the obb file in the "phone memory/Android/data" folder and copied the APK in the phone memory and installed the APK. But,

even after properly following the procedure, the apps were again downloading the EXPANSION PACK but not accessing the obb file i already copied into the "phone memory/Android/data".

I also found that I have NO obb folder in sd card or phone memory, so I created one and followed the steps but the same thing happened.

(in some website, I found that i have to install a game from play store to get the obb file) But still, such problem should not arise.

please help, dont provide guessing/fake/spam answers because this problem is been faced by many users. Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5279621:
Hello,

I have previously owned many android devices in changing the boot animation only require me to replace 'bootanimation.zip' on '/system/media' but as far as my knowledge it is not the same with S5.

I refered a guide onlline and they require me to flash a zip file after which I will be able to change the boot animations as normal (link: http://gs5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/easily-change-boot-animations-your-samsung-galaxy-s5-0157380/ )

I flashed the file and downloaded a bootanimation that is XXHDPI (1080*1920) and placed it in /system/media, renamed it as 'bootanimation.zip' and changed the permissions read,write for owner and all other as just read.

Now when I reboot my device just skips the bootanimation, someone please help :(
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adam_ky:
I'm sure you are all aware of the exploit concerning the stock android keyboard.

My question is to someone that is more knowledgeable than me... Would gaining root be possible threw this exploit?

Allows code injection with elevated system user permissions. Essentially with the exploit any thing u would want to do should be possible with the elevated permission.

So... I'm running the am g900a att variant on 5.0 Ota update. Root for me is no longer possible threw normal means. This could be my ray of hope.

If someone could help me out I'd appreciate it. Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdr4wkcab:
I'm not familiar with the vulnerability, is there a CVE?

However, even if it allows code injection, this might not lead to a reliable exploit, because Android has had DEP capabilities since 2.3 (I am not yet allowed to post links, google for "Security Enhancements in Android 1.5 through 4.1" and you will find the NX-bit was introduced in 2.3).

Hello,

I am running existenz y on my Xperia z2, Android 5.0.2 build 23.1.a.1.28. When I have the stock messenging app open I don't get any notification sounds unless the screen is locked or I press the home key. I have read various forums about this being a lollipop specific issue.

My question is, is there any mods out there that by pass this software flaw? I am currently rooted.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Confused Stu:
I thought you said "poll"

Interesting - you've started a poll without actually including the poll! That's the sort of thing I'd do!!

My vote is currently going to vp3G's ROM, with Slueth255 a very close second. The only reason for that way round is vp3G's applications are closer to my "normal" set than Slueth's - that's it!

P.S. I'm sure you're going to get flamed to death as this question has been asked SO many times before. Still thought it was worth answering though as ROMs change so quickly so my answer does too.

This poll has been altered.

Now we want everyone to vote which is the 'Best WM6 Rom Poll' poll.

I think my favorite one was the one where Austin deliberately left out Black because JJ didn't answer his PM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
More because the rom isnt released on this site anymore :rolleyes:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
And that never made sense to me either.

We all here at xda-developers know the 'dramas' behind some of the past friction between some of you talented cooks. We saw the heat from misunderstandings; whether it was regarding donations, or taking work - only releasing or supporting Roms to another site. What's the big deal? I thought this was a hobby. I don't want to start listing names of all the talent who contribute (which would obviously include you, JJ, and Austin) but all, including the cooks benefit. So if someone wanted to move to another forum to self moderate, why would we not want to make all choices we are aware of available for vote.

(poll: what's your favorite color? here's your choices - blue or red)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
red no doubt... :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
So, back to topic.

I think 'Best' is relative and subjective.

What's best for one person may not be for another.

I lean toward the 'Lite' or 'Stripped'

another may lean toward 'carrier optimized'

Try it, if it works, it's the 'Best' for you.

One hint however, not a rule; if a cook cooks in carrier bloat, the same carrier as you and he uses, and you like the bloat, it's very likely their carrier specific Roms will be the best for you.

Now I want to get my phone into a "freshly bought" state, so I can a clean installation of a custom rom on my phone.

I have been searching now for over 5 hours (no joke), to find a solution and especially find a stock rom . actually i was looking for 5.0 lollipop stock rom, but now i seriously dont care kitkat or whatever ^^, because it seemed to me that there is no other option than paying money for a stupid ffast download account or wait 3 days to download a file....?

I appreciate any help in any way.

Thank you very much.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
1. The problem of your device is that the unique simcard that will work is SK Telecom. You will have to unlock by IMEI (buying a unlock code) if you want use others.

2. The websites that have the firmwares have slow download always if you don't pay: Sammobile.com.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunni100:
thank you, so there is no other solution except for unlocking? where can i do that? do i have to contact my phone provider?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
None. You're dealing with a SIM lock here, and changing firmware won't circumvent it. You'll have to contact your phone provider for the unlock code, and hope they give it to you.

Hi all, my life was good when i flashed the lolipop zip from rootjunky, but then i noticed that my homebutton wasnt working so i thought id just reflash it and move on no problem, but after i tried to reflash it i got errors, so i just tried to reboot it, and now i am stuck on the motorolla screen, i can get into fastboot and ive tried using his unbrick method, but im still having issues, if anyone can help me thatd be much appreciated.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zefir738:
I had the same issue at first, but I rebooted and it worked fine. Did you try wiping cache after installing the zip? You may want to try a factory reset from recovery if wiping cache doesn't do anything.

[Asus Padfone X and S] andy-rockstar:
Has anyone been able to access Service Mode on the X Mini (or some other Asus phone)?

I have an unlocked X Mini that I'm trying to make work on a local Wireless provider (GCI), and I've successfully rooted the phone using the primary technique already described on this forum. After putting in my sim card all I get is a small 'x' next to the signal bars. I was able to get the phone to work with an AT&T sim just fine, and I've been able to get another AT&T phone (Galaxy S4) to work after changing frequency band. GCI uses 850 and 1900 for 2G/3G and Band 4 for LTE. AT&T phones also use those bands, so I should be able to configure the frequency bands accordingly. Unfortunately, most of the solutions I've seen on the interwebs are geared toward more common Android phones.
