i would like to change the name and icon of the app everywhere(recents,settings,etc) permanently and not by using a launcher as it just changes it there only not anywhere else.My device is rooted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Not sure this is entirely possible. You would have to decompile the app and change files and code. Not 100% sure. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paget96:
Yeah, only to decompile, easier is to use another launcher. ;)

Hi Everyone I'm New To Forums So If This Is Stupid Plz Ignore and Forgive me For Posting.

I Was Wondering if There Is Any Way To Play Clash Of Clans In Portrait mode. Everyone stares at me when I rotate my phone. I want to play the game with one hand so is there any developer who can modify the latest apk file to play at the portrait mode or any App that can modify the resolution , plus I don't have root,

I found this force screen rotate App on the Google Play store. It rotates screen in the portrait mode but it doesn't adjust any resolution or stretche tc u can see in the screen shoy s below ,plus the touch doesn't work properly and it only shows half of the screen

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzysig:
so I mistakenly pressed update few months ago when the update came out.

phone was rooted with towelroot

I also have superuser and supers installed

and triangle away

none of them are functional because of the failed tmobile update.

whats the best way to fix this?

im trying to keep the settings and info in my phone if that's at all possible..

I know I can just start over and load a whole new rom on it and then update but I have settings and apps I don't want to go through the process of installing all the apps and changing and trying to remember how my settings were ive had enough of that fun when I had HD2 with android port.

since that time I just want stock rom that works stable.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike-y:
You can go to the T-mobile Development Forum and use ShinySide's root method for FOF6 (assuming that is the LP rom you are on).

You will trip knox though. Currently, there is no way around that on Lollipop, unless you want to try and downgrade to 4.4.2
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzysig:
what if I reinstall original OS.

I'm not sure if its rooted or not. or kinda stuck inbetween.

my android version says 4.4.2

I tried towelroot it says phone not supported

I try tmobile update it says cant update.

root check says its not rooted...

superSU is stuck in the middle as well.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzysig:
I don't get it

I root the phone with odin

everything goes good it says reset then says pass

then I check with triangle away says system: modified counter:zero binary:custom etc

the phone is stuck inbetween root and update and it wont let me do either.

I can't root or unroot or update.

not sure wat is goin on with this crap
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzysig:
I really just want to unroot so I can run the update and then root again.

I'm not sure what is happening now with this phone it wont go either way

or maybe just load the updated tmobile stock rom whatever works honestly.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Hmm....The words 'rock' and 'hardplace' come to mind.......

Apart from the failed update, and the lack of root access, is your phone functioning normally?

If it is, go to settings >> about device and check which firmware the device is currently running.

Then go to one of the firmware download sites and get a copy of that EXACT SAME firmware.....(This is assuming it is still running 4.4.2)

Pretty much the only thing you can do at this point (if you want to keep all your settings etc) is to odin flash to an identical (but unrooted) system 'state' that you had before the failed update borked things on your device. Then you can follow the steps needed to towelroot your device......If that involves flashing an older kernel before towelrooting and then flashing back to your pre-existing kernel afterwards, then you (obviously) need to source them too.....

If it is your intention to update to Lollipop and then attempt to root again, I'd think again if I were you.....A lot of users are reporting that it's damn near impossible to root the latest LP firmwares.....even with CF Root......

You'd be better off rooting on KK, then using Flashfire to flash Lollipop and get it to inject root while it flashes the firmware.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
What is the build date on the installed firmware, if the build was compiled after July 1st last year, you need an older kernel in order to towelroot (at least this was the case for me when I towelrooted)

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzysig:
I used towelroot when I root it first time right after I got the phone. and then my dumbass forgot to unroot it and clicked on the update when it popped up...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Lol....easy enough thing to do......

It's the kernel that has to change to allow towelrooting......

When I towelrooted, my firmware was ANG2......I had to odin flash ANE2 in order to get towelroot to work (and then flash back the ANG2 kernel).

The kernel for your device will be a different version number, but you get the idea.....

this hurts my head. i still get flashbacks from HD2 android port and trying to keep up with all the new and improved builds...

the part of my brain responsible for cellphone modifying is burned out after that.

since then i just look for easiest root method possible until this happened...

what exactly do i need? im gonna try to process it on my own for next day or so
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
There are 2 prerequisites for using Towelroot........

1) your system must be running KitKat.

2) the build date (specifically the kernel) has to be before 1st of July 2014.

You mentioned that the kernel you have said November 2014 (?) therefore, you have to find a kernel that was compiled before the end of June 2014.

You ALSO have to find a copy of your CURRENT kernel.

Once you have both of those, the procedure is very straightforward.....

1) Odin flash the OLDER kernel (this is likely to cause some system instability....don't worry, that is to be expected)

2) Install towelroot and root your phone.

3) odin flash your CURRENT (November (?) 2014) Kernel. ........

Job done.

Then, rather than OTA to upgrade (this will break root), use Flashfire and get it to root the upgrade as it flashes it......

Just flash a pre June 2014 KitKat ROM, forget about Kernels
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
I just visited samsung updates dot com (we're not allowed to post links to the site) and found a section called 'compatible kernels'.......

I put in the search box 'SM G900T' (I assume this is your model variant) and it came up with a whole list of kernels.....

The ones compiled BEFORE the end of June 2014 are.......

NF6, NE6, NE5 and NCH

As I understand it, you *should* be able to use any of those for towelrooting......

Just remember to get a copy of your existing kernel while you're at it so you can flash back to it after rooting....

fuuuuuk

you know I just remembered why I threw away my HD2 and stuck to unmodified rooted phone for last 5 years.

because its a fkn nightmare with all the people posting same **** in 300 different ways and having links to essentially same fkn file just named differently

4 hours later a folder full of kernels and who knows what roms I downloaded.(because they are all hosted on slow ass download pages and I don't know which one is gonna actually download and not break and start over download again)....

I'm still in the same spot.

knox is tripped and new kernel with still same KitKat rom

i managed to root and unroot the phone but now its not downloading the update because knox is 0x1

time to sell this crap and get newer phone and forget about this rom **** for few more years.

I'm done. I really hope XDA can someday manage to clean up all this fn confusion about roms and make is simpler for people who don't spend 5 hours a day loading and reloading roms like I did with hd2

keith I really appreciate your help. its not your fault but this page is like a fn black hole.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzysig:
the problem is all the damn garbage and misleading info that you find on google. which is confusing as fuk.

i don't understand why do i need to load older rom again if i want to update to 5.1.1?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
If you're not worried about your data or root access then upgrading to 5.1.1 is as simple as a single odin flash......

If you want to keep root then downgrading, towelrooting, then upgrading with Flashfire is the easiest way to go......

3 of the 5 roms are corrupted zip files that wont open... again theres a reason why i stopped this long time ago...

4 hours spent downloading them all for nothing.

and mega download page is trolling really hard. slowed down to dialup speeds on the last percent of the download.

why do people keep hosting files on these stupid troll servers i don't get it

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunderteins:
Hello,

a massive bug was found in the media playback component of android.

http://techreport.com/news/28701/95-of-android-phones-vulnerable-to-stagefright-mms-exploit

I think this bug was fixed in android with this patch

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/av/+/dae006d1def007dddad9a202a0593b478eab503f

I do not have the source of libstagefright.so (has anyone?) for 407/DSC, but from the symbols I know the affected function Copy is inside /system/lib/libstagefright_amrnb_common.so. This library is in the whole system only used from /system/lib/libstagefright.so, but this library does not use the function Copy(). this library uses Copy under the name voAWB_Copy.

So I think our Streak 5 is one of the 5% unaffected android devices.

Streak 5 is affected, too.

I attached a fix for DSC/407 - waiting for an exploit

regards hunderteins
