I don't recommend trying to have 2 settings apps. Since you know how to recover (if things go wrong), just replace the old app and make sure permissions are set correctly.

Hi I am having similar issues and weird too. After de comping i get the exact same errors and when i switched to the multii apk tool i cannot read any xml files
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Mohamed Aamri:
as this tested ?!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] NewtoneMr:
I do not have the file "SecSetting2.apk" only I have "SecSetting.apk" in the system / priv-app directory after decompilation (windows 7 64bit I have an empty directory) (Linux only directory "smali") My system is android 4.4.2 overlay samsung galaxy s5 (touchwiz)

Should I look for another apk file with the permission option (or maybe someone knows where else to look ...)

I will add that when I decompiled another application from the store and from the / priv-app system I had all files in the directory (probably all)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] NewtoneMr:
would there be someone who would decompile the "SecSetting.apk" file for me whether the apk is correct?

I will add that the rom is "odexed" and there is a file "SecSetting.odex" and one more thing ... after unpacking the winra is an error crc because on others, for example: "SystemUI.apk" has no error

Is there any country or region variant of the moto g 2015 which offers dual sim?

Like the xt1068 moto g2?

It seems that the feature has been killed at least in Germany...

XT1550 - 8GB and 16GB Dual-SIM are available on Ebay for delivery worldwide. There is a high risk of additional custom charges. Also, XT1550 may not support all of the 3G / LTE Bands used in your country.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvienna:
The XT1550 variant should be fine for germany, it's missing one LTE band (B20), but the other two supported (B3, B7).

The price on ebay is pretty high (~288€ for the phone + possibly ~55€ for duty/taxes = 343€).

I am looking into buying on flipkart.com and shipping to germany with in.vpost.com or shopandship.com.

Cost would be about ~181€ for the phone (16gb) + ~25€ for shipping + ~39 for duty/taxes = 245€. Which would even be less expensive than the phone without dual SIM costs in germany.

Does anybody want to try this?

Hi, are you able to register your european account on flipkart.com?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
I think the way it works is that you create an account with in.vpost.com or shopandship.com - and they provide you with a shipping address in India. You then create an account on flipkart.com with that info. For example, flipkart sends the phone to vpost, who in turn post it to you.

[Shield Tablet General] Babaganoush31:
Hi figured we could use our own separate thread to discuss the killswitch Nvidia supposedly put in place on our old Shield tablets and see what has worked for those who have received their replacement units. If you've gotten a replacement please share if your old unit has been destroyed or not...if not please let others know what the old tablet has on it or what you did to attempt to prevent the brick! Thanks for helping us all out here!
[Shield Tablet General] xperia64:
As I said in the other thread, I received my new one, and my old one is still usable on rooted latest stock, unlocked bootloader, with the only app missing being Chrome for some reason. Nothing else disabled or uninstalled. Maybe they haven't turned on the server that sends the kill signal yet.
[Shield Tablet General] kongha:
If the company wants the other device back (dunno if that is true), why keep it? You are breaking a deal while making it less appeling for companies to do this type of thing...+its a saftey risk for you and others around you.
[Shield Tablet General] Shorty88jr:
Nvidia said they do not need it back

ManualG on the Nvidia forum said they are not requiring you send it back

"We don't require you to send it back to us to receive the replacement and are collecting them only to make it less of a burden on everyone else who dont have drop off locations like that close by."

So you can keep it if you want ?
[Shield Tablet General] scorpionx:
16 gig tablet, got it this morning. My original is still functional, it was stock rom, rooted with xposed on it. That's as much modding as I've done with mine.
[Shield Tablet General] nex86:
does anyone have more informations about this killswitch?

Is it a service that needs to be deactivated or deleted or a kernel feature?

I just want to make sure it doesn't kill my old tablet when I set up the new one.

Alternatively, I could just flash an older factory image or custom firmware.
[Shield Tablet General] chicodelta:
From what I've read on other forums (i.e. reddit) most have indicated that the killswitch is embedded in the bootloader and will activated on the defective tablet once the replacement tablet is registered on the nvidia side. I of course cannot confirm for this to be the case but just sharing what others have reported.
[Shield Tablet General] nex86:
yea but it must communicate with the server then and that only works when Android is booted up and all communication drivers loaded.

So there must be another service running in Android that gives this information to the bootloader to kill itself.
[Shield Tablet General] scorpionx:
If it's bootloader based, flash a bootloader from one of the older recovery images.
[Shield Tablet General] nex86:
Will try that. BL from Update 2.2.2 should be fine?

actually if I flash it back to 2.2.2 it should be fine too since the changes to 3.X aren't that big
[Shield Tablet General] scorpionx:
That should work just fine.
[Shield Tablet General] Babaganoush31:
big time noob question but where are you getting the old bootloaders from to flash?
[Shield Tablet General] bluegizmo83:
Until somebody's tablet gets deactivated and a log is captured during the deactivation process, everything said here or anywhere else is just speculation.
[Shield Tablet General] chicodelta:
bluegizmo83 is right, however the discussion has to start somewhere so kudos to the OP for getting this thread started.
[Shield Tablet General] bluegizmo83:
Oh I completely agree. I'm all for conversion. But I don't want people to get the wrong impression, like trying to flash an older bootloader. That may stop the deactivation, but it also may not. Its only speculation at this point.
[Shield Tablet General] scorpionx:
Well said. I apologize if my post came through as a solution. I was only mentioning that as folks had mentioned a possible bootloader lock.
[Shield Tablet General] chicodelta:
Any thoughts on whether flashing CM would serve as a way to circumvent the killswitch? I see that release for this tablet is already available http://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-shield-tablet-lte-na-t3055043. Thoughts?
[Shield Tablet General] bluegizmo83:
No problem. As I said, I'm all for the discussion, I just wanted to make it clear to everyone that its all just speculation at this point.
[Shield Tablet General] Shorty88jr:
I think the old bootloaders are in the old full OTA's someone correct me if I'm wrong. You can also extract them from the full OTA
[Shield Tablet General] Babaganoush31:
To me, this is the most logical place to start at this point! Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, but unlocking the bootloader, rooting, and installing a custom rom seem like a good starting place. If the stock devices are definitely getting wiped anyways, any changes we make now can't hurt the chances of keeping it alive!

That link is useless for unlocked phones as they do not receive carrier's firmware. I think you'll need to contact your carrier's customer service to see if you can enable VoLTE. For example, SKT (South Korea) can enable VoLTE on an unlocked GS6 after registering the device as VoLTE-capable.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] DorkyDev:
So I tried two ways one was directly from Odin and my watch rebooted into standard recovery and then wiped something then rebooted and I had to activate and pair it all over again, then I tried SkipSoft's method and it just led me around in circles, because of the reboot to recovery flash permanent-recovery zip and not actually in TWRP just in standard recovery again.

Someone help or point me to another method if there is one, I wanna flash Null_ rom and fully unlock this watch.

Once I got custom recovery installed and sticking I could root and everything else on my own.

On firmware version V700XXUAMK7
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Santaclauswitz:
Did you run the adb command from the little box thingy underneath 'note 2' in the instructions?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] DorkyDev:
The adb cmd line? Don't think tried that yet, but it was rooted beforehand, so I thought I'd be safe it did say it happens if ya aren't rooted, now I'm fighting tooth and nail after custom recovery failed to connect it to my phone again, sadly you'd have thought samsung would've made pairing easier than this crap, I might as well be trying to pair a iWatch to a Samsung that's how full of fail their pairing procedure is. It shouldn't take 30 damn minutes of trying and fails and a few reboots of each device to do this.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Santaclauswitz:
That's the one! I think I thought the same as you when I flashed twrp. The install bit of the statement must refer to twrp not root and it should read probably won't install if you don't run this command.

Gear manager is, in my opinion, a POS. From reading it doesn't like being updated. I think that there's some corruption in the data or cache of one of the components that make up gear manager when it updates which can cause problems like connection and massive battery drain. The method I've used before is to use es file explorer to clear the cache and data of all gear component apps (9 on my phone) and delete them, leaving gear manager proper to last. Then reinstall gear manager again. This is a big pain on null because it wipes a lot of stuff of the watch so it's a good idea to have titanium backup on your watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] DorkyDev:
Although I'm about ready to give up on this POS and resell it I've never seen something so dammed complicated to pair up and sync I'm still trying and the monkey developed thing is so behind its giving me old pair codes minutes after trying to pair then reporting incorrect pair code, well no duh.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] DorkyDev:
Rather wait till the end of the year and get the Rufus Cuff, at least it wouldn't be ruined by Samsung failed coding.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] DorkyDev:
Now it seems as though I'm stuck decided to try the latest UK Version of Tizen OS loaded it in Odin 3.09 into the AP Slot pressed started and then damn Odin decided to pop up with a error and close out in Windows, now if I try anything still download mode and reopened Odin 3.07 or 3.09, but it never fully installs I'm in the emergency download kies recovery screen.

Is it possible to install a Odin'ed firmware from here, from what I've learned of the screen/area of recovery, it's the same thing as download mode. I tried the latest Tizen OS again and all it did was sit forever at zImage area of flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] DorkyDev:
Just TWRP installed and to stick, dunno how, but I sideloaded SuperSU since I was already rooted and had KingUser then I tried ADB which didn't appear to work so I tried SkipSoft's custom recovery method and I guess that seemed to work for me, cause now I'm happily on Null_ 23.
[Android Apps and Games] mavdev32:
**The Idea**: Notifications distract (me). For example: a Facebook comment, an email, a text message, a Whatsapp group with constant messages, etc. I do want to see these notifications, but just not instantaneously all the time. I tried to search for apps that hide notifications and saves them for me - I could not find any (found only [this one](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aboutmycode.NotificationsOff) but it needs root access).

So I made [**Hide Notifications Android App**](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.notifymenotapp.www.notifymenot) - no root access needed, works on all APIs from API Level 18 all the way to 22.

[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
This is TWRP 2.8.7, i.e. ramdisk-recovery..cpio built from source including the latest commit fixing failure to back to external SD. See here.: https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/commit/85161af11117431ff3a1d6b845e8faf35ef07b2c . I have also reduced annoyingly loud default vibration values...

This is not FOTA image, but rather a pre-built cpio ready to be included in your boot.img. It is built specifically for Xperia Z1 with all the appropriate flags.

Instructions:

1. Unzip the attached image, if you don't, you'll have a bootloop

2. Use Archi Kitchen to unpack your boot.img. Download from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2597220

3. Unpack kitchen, open terminal in that directory and do chmod a+x archi; then execute ./archi

4. Follow script directions and create a new project

5. Put your boot.img where the script tells you to

6. Execute ku to unpack kernel: you will have kernel directory in your project;

7. Go to /kernel/boot.img-ramdisk/sbin: you will see ramdisk-recovery.cpio file; just replace it with the attached one and execute kr to re-pack kernel.

8. You will have the new boot.img in project directory ready to be fastboot flashed.

9. If you touch anything else in unpacked kernel, your phone won't boot

10. From now and on, when you open archi kitchen, just pick (e) option for existing project and you can use any other boot.img to do the same.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] GRMrGecko:
I have tried the roms below:

Pac-rom

LiquidSmooth

CyanogenMod 12.1

CyanogenMod 11

And the result is it always gets stuck at boot where the boot animation continues infinitely. I have gave it about 30 minutes to boot.

With LiquidSmooth I was able to run logcat, but CM12.1 I am not able to.

I have tried resetting system, data, caches in twrp and using the reset for new rom in philz.

I have tried flashing with both TWRP and Philz.

I am using the latest Philz and TWRP.

The only thing that has worked for me is samsung stock ROM, but I do not like the stock ROM.

Are there SPH-L900 phones you have to do something different?

Is there a way to get boot logs from CM12?

Am I doing something wrong?

See attachment from LiquidSmooth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Raziel10000:
Hi,

I see that you got it working by using that thread, but what exactly did you flash from it? I had it working with CM12.1 but decided to flash the recovery from CM for my phone and it ruined the installation. Tried re-flashing with the latest nightly to get stuck in the CM infinite boot, returned to stock (that worked fine) flashed TWRP and CWM 6.0.4.3 Touch, re-did everything again with both, but cant go past the infinite boot. This happened the last time too, but it started working out of nowhere so I continued patching until I flashed "cm-12.1-20150828-NIGHTLY-l900-recovery.img". Now it doesn't boot again and redoing what I did the last time is not working (Wiping Cache, Dalvik...)

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Raziel10000:
Followed this guide from some post I found after reading for 8 hours, LOL. Don't remember who it is from... It's for the Cyanide ROM but worked perfect for CM12.1 latest nightly with the latest GAPPs

1.) revert everything to stock

Using Odin3 v3.09 I first flashed this: L900VPUCNE2_L900SPTCNE2_SPR.zip

2.) Reboot and verify it's not bricked, then use ODIN to flash Philz philz_touch_6.15.4-l900.tar.md5

3.) Reboot into Philz recovery and follow these steps exactly

1. Mounts and Storage

Format / system

Format / cache

Format / data

Format / data and /data /media (/sdcard)

(note this isn't the EXTERNAL sdcard, on to which I had loaded the ROM, Shift and gapps)

2. Power Options > reboot recovery

3. Wipe cache partition

4. Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache

5. Wipe data / factory reset > Wipe data / factory reset

6. Wipe data / factory reset > clean and install new ROM

At one point Philz asked me if I wanted to root and I said yes.

3.) Flash (from the external sdcard) the ROM (Tablet style ROM found in OP "5.0.2-RC-7.1-tablet"), Then flash Shift (Shift-LP-4.3 other versions DID NOT WORK), then flash gapps (GApps-5.0.2-20150315-signed NO OTHER VERSION WOULD FLASH, got Error 20 every time) Here's the

After everything was flashed I rebooted and got stuck at boot animation AGAIN, so I rebooted into recovery and wiped cache. Just cache, not dalvik or user data, rebooted, and it worked.

Installed Netflix from appstore, when I logged in to netflix it asked me to update google play services (I've seen it do this on other devices as well). Updated google play services and went back to Netflix, chose a random show and tapped on it, stuck at "loading" screen. Rebooted phone, tried netflix again and it works.

This was a tough one! But it's working now and I've saved all these files in one place incase it bricks again. Now to install the Note 3/4 style faux-stitched-leather back cover I got off Amazon.

Thanks all!

Joined this site a while ago, and needless to say, I've been literally blown away by it. The members of this site are just incredibly talented; I've been able to make my 8525 look and function just fantastic, and just about any fix/patch I've been able to locate through this site.

Currently using Custel WM6 rom and it's so stable and faster than the WM5 I had (though it was so hard to choose with so MANY excellent cooked roms to choose from)...

So, since it seems there's no limit to what can be done with these great devices, I was wondering if it is at all possible to use an 8525 to connect an Xbox 360 to Xbox Live?? I am able to connect using Internet Connection Sharing via USB to my laptop running Vista Ult. and get great surfing speed, so is there any way to somehow configure it to get the 360 to connect to Live through it? Could the 8525 be connected directly to the 360 (prob not likely) or can it be set up using the laptop to share the connection??

Any help/answers on this would be greatly appreciated!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fun_key:
I may be wrong, but I don't think that this is possible.

As far as I know, the xbox has no bluetooth pan support, and I don't think it is possible to have an USB modem directly setuped.

The remaining possibilities are: through the RJ45 or through the wifi. Sadly the hermes has no RJ45 connector, and it is unable to become an acces-point nor an add-hock host.
