[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liakuras:
No I have not ever installed such things. Just once, I accidentally deleted some photos and I would like to recover them back and I used a freeware programme at my windows PC which gave me temporary root access, but I was unable to recover them and I cancelled the whole process. And therefore, I didn't know if I was rooted or not.

The problem is that I can not install the latest security patch/fix and I assumed I was rooted....
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
The program may have modified your system files. Once modified the OTA won't run. Would have to reflash stock. :cool:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liakuras:
If I just perform a factory reset?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
Won't fix it if system files have been modified. Factory reset only clears cache and data. Does not touch system files. Have to fastboot flash the factory system image file. :cool:
[Elephone P8000] MUG3NHC:
So yeah, as the title says.

I installed eleflash tool from their forum and installed flyme os.

Now i don't know how to go back cos the same elflash doesn't recognise the device as elephone...

My elephone was rooted already and i don't really know how those things work.

Could someone help me to go back to the original software?
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
you need to use the sp flashtools as detailed here...

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzyreets:
Hi folks. So I went ahead and side loaded my first app no problem, Xfinity TV Go. Works great except I can't choose any of the menu selections or get the main menu at the top to reappear after it disappears. Buttons do nothing after the menu fades out the first time. Is this normal for sideloaded apps? Do some not function at all? Version issue? Thanks.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terry T:
It's normal. Most non-FireTV-specific apps are looking for touch-screen inputs, so to use them you need some kind of mouse/air-mouse/touchpad device.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzyreets:
Okay that's what I was thinking. I knew it was too good to be true. What's the attraction for sideloading then? Thanks for the reply.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terry T:
Mostly Kodi (or whatever version you want to use), as you're all-in-one media center for your local media as well as a huge number of streaming sources: it's 100% functional with the FireTV remote. The only other side-loaded app I've found (mostly checking media streamer apps) that doesn't need an air-mouse is Crunchyroll. ES File Explorer used to work with the FireTV remote, but this was broken in an update about a week ago.

With an air-mouse, most Android apps will work: if it's not designed for Android TV, it will probably function.

Check out Firestarter (http://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/themes-apps/app-root-home-launcher-replacement-app-t3118135) if you want to easily access side-loaded apps, it's excellent.

Hello.

My HTC Sensation XL won't load it's launcher. Once I press the unlock button, I see a black screen with a fully functional status bar. I can turn Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. on and off. I have CM launcher installed. Problem occurred after I force stopped HTC Sense (default launcher). The phone is not rooted. I do know how to access Bootloader (thought that could save some writing).

[Dell Venue] thatdude888:
so my stock dell venue 8 3840 would just load into a black screen, so I decided to follow the instructions aOSS_A195.pdf (can't submit links) to attempt to unbrick it

Starting from step A. Flash A195 image to the tablet I was doing quite well A.12 Double click file “P802_flash_device_wifi_only.bat” or “P802_flash_device_lte.bat” in SW image folder. The following CMD window will show up, and begin to flash OS system image. At this step the Cmd couldn't find the tablet so after several attempts to fix it and failed attempts at googling the problem I made the poor decision to skip this step and go to.

Step: B. Rooting and bootloader unlocking process using OTA package this step was going fairly well up to 5) Select recovery (3rd item from list), and use volume down button to navigate to it and select it by pressing power button. Upon clicking recovery the screen showed nothing but the usb symbol restarted several times and it would only go to the usb symbol no more bios menu or anything.

So I'm starting to panic a little at this point so I decide ok let me start back over at step A. Flash A195 image to the tablet. Ok good I have the bios menu back maybe I can get to the recovery screen from this one... Nope permanent usb screen again ****... Ok no problem I'll just go back to step A. Flash A195 image to the tablet and it will fix it again.... Nope permanent usb screen that I can't get to go away this time. So no what am I screwed can it be fixed?

I do not particular care about rooting it I just want it to function stock would be fine with me. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Dell Venue] thatdude888:
Update after several more redos of step " A. Flash A195 image to the tablet" I finally got it to stop showing the USB and go back to the droidboot screen. I'm afraid to try to access recovery again in fear that I will once again get stuck with the eternal usb symbol. So please advise me on the best course of action I should take from here.
[Dell Venue] huynhlam:
http://opensource.dell.com/releases/Venue_8_3840_Merrifield/

before do step A12, copy 4file( adb.exe fastboot.exe adbwinapi.dll adbwinusbapi.dll) ( http://opensource.dell.com/releases/Venue_8_3840_Merrifield/developer-edition/FlashTool/fastboot/ ) and paste into the extracted image folder, after this, run the .bat file
[Dell Venue] thatdude888:
thanks huynhlam, that got me a little further with step a12. Now I've run into a new issue though. Just get waiting for device. I've tried reinstalling all the drivers but it seems to only be detected properly when its off.

When its on the driver has a explanation mark next to it and it says "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)".

From my understanding it needs to be on during step a12 but I can't get it to do anything other then waiting for device at the moment any advice?

Every ROM i download/copy onto my SD card is corrupt? I made a folder and copied a rom into in from my computer and the folder became corrupted. From then all the ROMs i copy/download are corrupt?

There was a ROM on the SD card before that isnt corrupt. Will formatting my SD card fix the problem?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It should, unless the card is damaged.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xOutcasTx:
I wiped the sd card in android and then downloads a rom and gapps to the sd card. In TWRP i did a nandroid backup of my current OS. I couldnt access any folders in Install ZIP except for the TWRP folder. I ran chkdsk on the sd card through cmd on my pc. I then copied another rom into the root of the card and flashed it, it seems to be working now as the zip flashed without a problem. I will try to download another rom through android and flash that and see if it is corrupts it again.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
That's excellent news. I had an 8GB card that would display one set of folders in recovery and an entirely different set of folders in Android. The only solution for that one was to download SDFormatter on the PC, install it, and wipe the MicroSD using that tool.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ajaymalkani:
Ive tried many of the WM6 roms and some were pretty stable and usable- but the main reason I reverted back to wm5 each time was a distinct decrease in device speed.

Any wm6 rom with any features or no features with the primary requirement being speed?

Thanks

Ajay
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] treo...not!:
Have you tried mfrazzz's XM6.2a? It's the fastest I've used.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] icezar:
i always had the impression that wm6 is faster then wm5.

For VM6 the fastest i think is a rom called spead freak but is lacking a lot of programs and things (not even camera is included) and the second is the original 318 WM6.

You can find both if you search this forum.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] WDS Josh:
odd I find WM6 to be a little faster...not a huge difference but it's definitely not slower than WM5.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nottoosmart:
I think speed is in the rom itself. If its loaded with a bunch of junk then of course it will more than likely not perform as well for you as others.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xdawiz:
mfrazzz's XM6.2a is the best one.I recommend this ....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] bachikho:
wm6 is slower than wm5 because almost all of them have pagepool reduced, if you revert PP of wm6 to default (12M) then it will be more faster than wm5!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Hallis:
Go install Vista on a computer that had XP on it and then ask why it's slower over in the M$ forums. ;)

With that said. I agree with what most have said about the XDA Mobile 6 R2a. It's what im running. And i love it. If i wanted a blazing fast PDA i'd get one with a faster CPU and more ram.

i am not concerned by your words... i cant see ANY performance hit with 4 mb pp so far... GUI is faster with wm06 imo.

yeah, go buy me a one...:P

btw is there any wm05 kitchen similar to wm06 kitchens?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ikanpar1:
I use Faria Crossbow and find my device speed up quite significantly (IMHO).

My office mate also run WM6 on prophet and the result is quite the same.

I think the matter is on the ROM you are using which is over populated with unnecessary applications/services?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nothin:
look it is overpopulated wm06 rom for wizard:

,,

ask me, if it is slow...:P

wise loaded os can be as clean one.

just stay away from useless apps that ARE taking mem when not used.....

btw, 75% of apps like home today, new 8 pos commgr, dialers etc may be optimised by resources/gfx editing..

whole idea is need to do better..

3130 bytes vs 201 bytes - same file.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] icezar:
That is very impressive! What base rom/kitchen do you use?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ammarr:
Yeah, I would like to find out which rom this is. I have never been able to get above 30, even in wm5.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ranasrule:
NBD 8.0 is THE fastest ROM i have ever used regardless of WM5 or WM6
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] icezar:
Maybe, but all versions except muns have the missed calls problem. (you will have missed calls show as 1 or 2 sec conversations :mad: )

So i will just go with 7.9 if you really want NBD
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] peter petrelli:
Many WM6 builds are capable of sparing 30MB of RAM. The easiest way to achieve this is, as everyone has suggested, alter the pagepool of the rom that your using.

Many factors affect the speed of a rom. Reducing pagepool may speed up some aspects of your rom but how noticable the difference may be is dependant on what else is in your rom.

Im yet to be convinced about the actual correlation between pagepool and the speed of the rom because I am still experimenting.So far all I know is that if the WINDOWS folder of your device is overflowing with files then reducing pagepool wont increase speed very much.

its method for having >38 mb mem free(i.e. for emulators etc).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] vacman5:
Going back to ajaymalkani's post comment...I myself went back to WM5 after 2-3 months of playing around with WM6 Roms. Many WM6 roms out there are good and tailored in their own way. Some are blazing fast while missing applications, others have all the applications but slow as hell. Touch applications definitely kill performance even with overclock. I finally got fed up as A2DP (very important to me anyways) didn't work on majority of the ROMs (it worked, but huge skipping problems even with all the A2DP settings and fixes). I finally then went back to WM5...has all the applications I need, works super fast without overclock, and got A2DP working flawlessly (no skips or hisses). WM5 works great for me but again, to each their own.

Although, I'll admit, after seeing nothin's post, that was cool how he got that much resources.

Cool

Hi all,

Nothin, do you happen to have that cab available... It looks interesting to be able to turn the camera off and regain some mb.

TIA...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] :
i am not sure, if all OSes have same cam driver reg entries - but i think it is ok.

here's my cab for reversable removal, but read below...

http://rapidshare.com/files/46630045/CamOnoffWF2.6.cab.html

to completely remove camera you need to remove /hklm/drivers/builtin/cameradriver and camera "folders" and make soft reset.

reversable procedure is tricky, but it is working fine:

1st stage:

-do full backup, just in case...

-get total commander for ppc, or ANY registry editor(TC must be closed with "Exit" - forced quit may not apply changes!).

-go to /hklm/drivers/builtin and remove camera and cameradriver branches("catalogs" will stay, but there is nothing inside.

-wait some time, and do softreset - now camera is off. if it is not, you probably need to wait more after reg removal.

2nd stage:

-install that cab.

-do soft reset.

-if camera is working, you are done.

-uninstalling CAB and soft reset will make cam module inactive, you may turn it on by installing cab again and soft reset.

it may sound tricky, especially at start of procedure..but it is quite easy after try.

effect:

,

believe or not, i am able to launch 32 MB GBA roms now with pocketgba..

sorry for bad english...

btw, should i make post with my mods, and tricks?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dharvey4651:
If you install battery status plugin then you can overclock the cpu speed from 195mhz to 260mhz and then the performance is considerably better but I still think it would be much faster if you revert the pp to 12M... is this even possible?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] manuelcalavera:
im really really wondering that how some people say that NBD roms are FAST ! ????

they are great roms , the most popular TOUCH style roms ! but they cant compete with crossbows ! i know that nbd 7.4 and 8 ( if reset after uploading first time ) make their rom faster bcuz they become crossbow , but surely they are not built in crossbow !

i was a fan of NBDs , bcuz its fun and you wont get bored ...

but after trying NBDs from 7.2 to 8 , i was crazy about slow performance ...

so .......... you should Compare Touch style roms with same style ones

and crossbows with crossbows

nothin,

Please do, I'm sure many of us would appreciate your knowledge in tips and tricks, I definitely would. :)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Valcon:
That weird. I've tried at least a dozen of different WM6 packages, and all of them were significantly faster than WM5.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ikanpar1:
Yes, that's weird. I tried several WM6 flashes and it always turns out faster than my original WM5 (now i run NBD 8.0 touch).

I even use Wisbar Advance (can't live without it's cascading start menu :D ), which definitely will slow down devices, but on mine the speed is still quite okay.

Slightly slower, but okay.

Without the WA? Much faster than WM5. With the WA, still slightly faster.

And I still have 32077K of available space, even after I put the WA theme on device (not storage).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] usb2007:
im using NBD 8.1 (crossbow mode) its fast, stable and there are no missed call issues so far.

if cascading start menu is the only thing you can't live without then try wisbar lite. much lighter :)

That`s a problem, you probably will also have missed calls that will show up as 0, 1 or 2 sec received calls and no notification :-(

This is happening when you use gprs or when you are in a conversation and receive another call i think...

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerJimLahey:
With stock mine worked fine from the beginning, after having this shell script I made for another device:

#!/bin/sh
jmtpfs /media/joel/android
thunar /media/joel/android/

Obviously there were android.rules set up for udev as well:

#Garmin-Asus
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="091e", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev"

But after the 2.18 update, things gone wonky. Cannot fully remember, but something like "ERROR: /media/joel/android/ is locked", and it was really inaccessible until the next reboot.

Just tried this time with my custom ROM, am getting no issues (yay, I don't need to dropbox copy anymore).

Are you using the latest OTA, if so, they may have added the driver folder in case Windows doesn't know how to deal with the MTP (like it wouldn't :p). At any rate, my old phone used to do that, and there was an LG specific app to download to supress that (because it would otherwise make jmtpfs spit up errors about the connection being reset). Maybe there is an ASUS equivalent out there, or something that can be found in DisableService.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megagodx:
Remember the regular Galaxy S6 edge? How it was about 60-70 cm/knits less bright than the regular S6 at maximum manual brightness in darker environments? This would be a deal breaker for me if this is the case because I like to ratchet up my phone on full brightness and experience all the best color reproduction at the highest contrast. Anyone with the early edge+ units confirm if Samsung did away with this weird programming? Edge+ and Note 5 should be around the same manual max brightness as the regular S6 and S6 edge.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdexpert3782:
S6 edge+ still has brightness bug

yes the s6 edge plus has the brightness bug. Checked demo units at all major carriers at the mall. Note 5 does not have the issue. Can't believe Samsung still has this problem. I will also pass on the edge plus and the note 5 does not have enough new features to make me upgrade. So I guess it is no new phone for me!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megagodx:
I can now also confirm that the "bug" is in place. It has to be intentional, because this is the second time it's specific to an edge variant. Whatever the case, I am going to have to settle for a Note 5. Which is disappointing, because the color selection is generic black or white. I wanted the edge just for that gold color. I am annoyed they couldn't bring the silver variant of the Note 5 to North America at least.

I can't answer to max brightness on manual-mode being different between devices.

But do want to let you folks know that max manual brightness will never be as bright as max auto brightness, even when using 3rd party apps such as Lux or Velis.

Just in case ya'll didn't already know.

I know, I've tried.

There are hacks (search my threads for the script I created) to make manual brightness just as bright as auto brightness, but the hack does not work very well.
