Thor2001, thanks for the link to change the lockscreen. Works but what a stupid way to do it. Elephone developers need to smarten up already.
[Elephone P8000] kenobiben:
Hi,

this is works for me too.

Who are interested, I can prepare the system-res.apk file for you if you send me your original file and picture to include.

Bye
[Elephone P8000] seadersn:
just remove the file from the apk and it should use the desktop wallpaper on lockscreen then.
[Elephone P8000] letschky:
Yes this works Thanks
[Elephone P8000] gabri84sv:
don't find the folder

Hy guys, I tried to follow the guide but I don't find the folder /custom... :confused:

can you help me? thanx
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
Are you rooted? You need to use either root browser or es file explorer to navigate to the root directory which is / then you will find custom etc there...
[Elephone P8000] gabri84sv:
I navigate with windows...i'll try with es file explore, thanx a lot
[Elephone P8000] stonedpsycho:
Looked on the elephone forums today and found this app on there. I can confirm it does change the wallpaper. Root is needed. I believe you need to use a full HD wallpaper also.

You need to be careful with this above app.

I had an issue where my phone would say "unfortunatly system ui has stopped"

So had to reset my phone.

[Elephone P8000] Julwh17:
I just installed "Next Lock Screen" from Google Play. No root needed, you can choose any pic you want. It works really good for me, sometimes if you unlock you'll get the LP-pic for a few milliseconds but i don't find that disturbing, because it happens only on a few occasions.

If you really want it you can use fingerprint unlock. In this case you have double layer unlock screen: first Next Lock Screen, then the LP-pic lockscreen where you have to scan fingerprint ... Not ideal but i don't use the fingerprint-mumbo-jumbo, so good enough for me.

Hope some of you find this helpfull!

I would put the link from Google Play but i have not enough posts to be able to do that.
[Elephone P8000] Kenny_McCormick:
Renaming systemui-res.apk helps too

Thank you.

I wonder how hard it will be to write a app that let you select one ...

I'll give it a try ...
[Elephone P8000] seadersn:
there's an app for that already :) and the newest update from elephone does allow you changing it in settings ;)
[Elephone P8000] Kenny_McCormick:
No problem readig first to last - but replying ... ;)

I noticed that some replies later...

M deepest dive so far into Android app development was a test program to confirm the environment works after I installed the ADK - about 6 month ago ...

I thought I found a problem easy enough to solve to write my own app and that even solves a real problem I have ;) ...

But I agree - no reason to fix something that has been fixed (on the other hand: I didn't find it in the settings and renamed the apk - so technically it IS broken ...).

Cheers

Olaf
[Elephone P8000] Kenny_McCormick:
I applied the NOV update - where did you find the lock screen wallpaper in settings?
[Elephone P8000] seadersn:
when i remember correctly (i don't own the device anymore) it was in settings / display / background (or similar) / lockscreen wallpapers.

edit: this is the app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=es.leon.agutif.p8000lockscreenwallpaper

but, if you want to exercise yourself in app writing, just do it! :D it's always good to have experiences ;)

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] itsTnTg:
So after booting into BP Tools mode, how are you supposed to know that it actually is in it?

From some sources, it says that there should be a message showing "Connected in BP Tools Mode" in the notification window. The reason I ask this is because I'm having trouble running a diagnostic tool that requires the Droid be in BP Tools mode. There isn't enough information that I can find anywhere about the BP Tools mode for a Droid Turbo so I just want to make sure that my phone has it working properly.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Semseddin:
When you start your device in BP Tools mode, you will get a new application visible in app drawer called CQA Test. If you have that in your menu, you booted the device in bp tools mode.

Thanks for the repost. Confirmed working.
[Verizon LG G4] spotmark:
Man, did I need this. It will take my mind off our locked bootloaders, for a bit longer. Yesterday, I almost traded my G4 for a 64gb Nexus 6.
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
This is what I was waiting on! I've been keeping my G3 as I needed Xposed for certain modules. Working great.
[Verizon LG G4] bkrickles:
Ha! I thought of you when I saw this.

Don't get the nexus 6. If anything wait for the next incarnation. The camera actually is pretty bad.

Was this easy to do and are there plenty of modules that work?

thanks
[Verizon LG G4] spotmark:
Yeah, it's a simple install. So far I have Xblast, Gravitybox, Holo Themer, and Greenify, up and running.
[Verizon LG G4] b3y0ndd34th:
Absolutely wonderful!

I miss the Per App DPI, why is there not a standalone app for this!!!

Nevermind, I have Xposed now, all is well.

It was a lengthy install (23-27 minutes) but I think it was worth it :)
[Verizon LG G4] xbayyx:
Is anyone else getting the "updating apps" dialogue after each reboot?
[Verizon LG G4] corywf:
What did you use to change the DPI?
[Verizon LG G4] b3y0ndd34th:
The xposed AppSettings module.

You have to reboot to see changes. Probably because of how lollipop handles apps.

What I meant was I wish there were a standalone app that didn't require xposed that allowed us to change the dpi per app. It's really the only draw I feel towards xposed. The other modules are nice and beneficial, but the large DPI on my phone ruins the UI experience IMHO. If apps like camera, settings, and the block screen worked better on a modified DPI everything would work with a global change to the build.prop :(
[Verizon LG G4] corywf:
Not sure if this will help you but it's what I ended up doing. All the apps work. I don't use the stock lock screen though so I'm not sure about that one.

http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/problem-g4-dpi-t3126972/page2
[Verizon LG G4] b3y0ndd34th:
I'm alright with the stock DPI, I only adjust the apps that drive me nuts, thanks for the link though.

Thanks for the recommendation, I re read that thread and saw where someone deleted the icons from their lock screen before changing their DPI. That seemed to do the trick!
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
For me it's the opposite, it's the UI in general that IMO needs to be smaller and display more data, with the exception being a few apps. I hate only seeing 3-4 notifications since the status bar icons take up so much space.
[Verizon LG G4] b3y0ndd34th:
Good point on the status bar lol!

I went back and re read the thread I missed the post that said he removed the icons from the lock screen before changing the DPI. I gave that a shot and my lock screen looks perfect now. 540 seems to be an acceptable DPI!
[Verizon LG G4] SpinningHook:
Would it be worthwhile to start up a carrier specific thread that addresses which modules are safe to use for the respective device?

Yes it would be.

Update Xposed from v71 to v72 for Verizon LG G4

Verizon LG G4 VS986 confirmed working with xposed-v72-sdk22-arm64.zip upgrade(Ram is better,battery drain is less)

1)Wipe cache on start

2)Start OS

3)If Flashfire doesn't open,change date in the phone settings to earlier than 8.30.15

4)Follow instructions for v71 installation,but instead of v71.zip use uninstaller for Xposed (xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm64).Do not uninstall previous version of Xposed which was installed from xposed-v71-sdk22-arm64-by-romracer-20150816 with regular phone means.

5)do not check auto-mount,touch upper right sign and the main page of Flashfire opens

6)Flash (at the very bottom of the screen) uninstaller (all necessary files should be placed on the root of Internal Storage) and wait 10 minutes +,Loading lines appear then another 10 minutes,the phone reboots itself.

7)repeat procedure with FlashFire with zip file xposed-v72-sdk22-arm64

8)Long story now,approximately half an hour of dark screen(do not touch the phone and patiently wait)

9)phone reboots itself,wait and don't worry it'll work with updated Xposed Framework v72,all modules,that have been there before the upgrade,will be there working and activated,no need to reset XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk

P.S. Make sure the phone has enough charge and not connected to the computer and I assume that you alredy installed this: xposed-v71-sdk22-arm64-by-romracer-20150816.If not,then follow all the instructions from Romracer for v71 file,but

1)use v72 instead

2)Flashfire will not work unless you change the date in the phone settings(you'll correct this easily later)

3)And you will have to wait longer this time(remember,approximately half an hour of dark screen with the impression that the phone is dead,but no worry,just wait and do nothing,cause that's the way it's resetting).Good luck!

Update: the same is confirmed working for new Xposed SDK file: xposed-v73-sdk22-arm64.zip for Verizon LG G4
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
So you can't just flash the new version over it? You need to uninstall it first?
[Verizon LG G4] tulio25:

I just didn't take a risk and used xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm64 first
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] coco1476:
I am experiencing a big enough lag on my phone that I bought last week used from someone. It had 4.4.4 when I bought it and the phone would lag alot so did a factory reset and stiil the same, I did the 5.0.2 update with pc compagnion, everything went good but tha lag is still present. If I turn off the phone and turn it back on its all good for about 3 to 5 minutes and then again the lag comes back.

The only way I can get rid of the lag is with rom toolbox, cpu control, I set governor to performance then the lag is gone but I find the battery drains quicker when set to performance, and dont want toake the cpu run too hard either.

Could my phone has a hardware problem. Please help me
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] teddy74eva:
Have you tried to restore via PC companion or flashtool? Maybe that would solve it
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] coco1476:
I did install 5.0.2 with pc companion and the lag is still present but i can try to restore with pc companion and hope it will do the trick because I really like this phone. Thanks for the tip
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] coco1476:
Tried restore and the lag is still present. I dont know what else to do, probably a hardware problem since the lag is in 4.3, 4.4.4, 5.0.2. The owner who had it before me changed the screen on it maybe it could be related but dont know what else to do. Any advice would be really appreciated.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tweebs:
Could you describe the lag a bit more. I've been seeing a longer and longer lag on my C6806 but I thought it was due to the number of apps I have installed.

I did have the screen replaced by a Sony repair center contractor in Canada. I was not impressed by their service. They took 2 months to fix my phone! The new screen isn't completely flat and they put a scratch on the back panel from the back side.

I can see the lag getting worse as I use the phone continuously and it warms up. You can feel the back top centerish area getting hot as it's going. Sometimes it will reset when it gets too hot.

I wonder if they didn't add thermal paste to the processor or something when it was being repaired.

This is pretty cool. Thanks for that.

Off topic, but if you do transfer files between phones a lot or if you enjoy streaming media from one phone to another, one solution I use is the Sambadroid app. Just hotspot one phone, connect to the wifi on the other, and use a file explorer app such as ES to map a network share.

I searched around and could only find one unlock service for the T-Mobile Note 5. It's pricey too at 31 bucks so hopefully someone can find something cheaper. Right now this is our only choice for those of us who want the unlocked bootloader but use other carriers. If you guys find something else, please post here. Thank you.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugsy:
Are the lte bands the same between the ATT and T-Mobile variants. I haven't been able to find this on Samsung's site.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
That's a very good question and something I should have probably looked into prior to preordering LOL If it's anything like the note 4 we should be okay. I'll be the first to know if they ship my phone out. I have AT&T and ordered the T-Mobile variant.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mocsab:
You can use the TMOBILE NOTE 5 on ATT - no problem - I have been doing that for years with every phone I own.

The Unlock process on TMOBILE Changed when they released the S6 - and chances are it will be the same on the Note 5 - there will be an unlock ap on your device from TMOBILE - to unlock the phone y ou click the ap and follow instructions - HOWEVER, you must be qualified to unlock the phone before it will let you unlock.

If it is like the S6 - UNLOCK codes from web sites will not work. Period. The only way to unlock it is using the ap that comes pre-installed on the device.

If you have been on TMOBILE more than a year and you paid in full when you purchased the NOTE 5, you should be able to use the unlock ap with no issues. If you have any issues you can call TMOBILE customer support for help.

This all depends on whether they do the NOTE 5 like the did the S6 - and I would guess that this is going to be the case.

By the Way - there was another way to unlock that we found on the S6 after a day or two - and that was by using odin to flash the full stock rom made for Metro - a carrier that uses TMOBILE PHONES - on the s6 they had a version of the same firmware rom on Sammobile that you could download and flash in odin and it did not have the unlock up - when you flashed that - then you could buy an unlock code from one of the web sites. (also several web sites sold unlock codes for the s6 and they never did work for anyone with a TMOBILE Device and stock rom because of the Unlock app on the pohne. Uninstalling the ap doesn't help - it is much more pervasive than that -

and remember you are unlocking the SIM Card is locked -the bootloader is not locked.

Whatever happens -good luck and hope it all goes smoothly for you. (it was a royal pain the a... for me when I unlocked my S6 but I was unlucky - do a search from your TMOBILE Account and read the TMOBILE RULES about Unlocking your device - it sholud give you all the details.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
I bought the phone outright from them so there should be no problem with them giving me the unlock code right?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yakuzahi:
No. They will ask you to be with a service for 48 days i believe.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonJoel:
Right
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
How can I be with them for 48 days when I never had service with them to begin with? Bought it outright.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreeleyXda:
They don't sell phones outright... You have to sign up for a plan

And it's 14 days I think before you can unlock
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
Paid for the phone and plan, cancelled the plan without ever inserting the sim. Soon as I see its shipped I call and cancel the plan and tell them I dont want the service.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imstill@g:
https://www.unlockbase.com/unlock-phone/samsung/galaxy-s6/ is what I used last time, server based, Easy GUI, and immediate. I would assume all will be up for the Note5 soon. The provider frequents the forums, not sure of his user name though. It can be found in the tmobile s6 forums though. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apascual89:
I found him on the s6 edge forums and already sent him a PM inquiring about Note 5 unlocking. I'll direct him to this thread when he responds.

Great to hear that it worked for the S6 for you! [emoji106]
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mocsab:
Got my Note 5 today and confirmed it does have the UNLOCK AP - as far as I know (and I have been wrong before) you will not be able to use Cellunlocker or any other service to unlock your device with that ap on the phone - there are ways around it - which I described in an earliere post - but unless TOMOBILE has changed their policy from the S6 - you may have to jump through some hoops to unlock - probably not a problem if you hve been with TMOBILE more than 1 year - and if not - if you have owned the note more than 43 days -

if METRO has a NOTE 5 and Sammobile has the firmware for it - that is the easiest way to get around it for those who have not met the normal requirements set by TMOBILE.

GOOD LUCK

there is someone selling unlocked gsm note 5s on ebay but they wont be released until sept 15th, thats something to look into.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imstill@g:
The process used, bypasses the unlock app, it roots the phone, unlocked it through a server, then unroots the phone. Pretty sure it used ping-pong, so it didn't even trip Knox. The service was immediate, took 15 minutes, root will have to be obtained though.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yakuzahi:
From T-Mobile website:

Unlock eligibility for monthly phones, tablets, and mobile internet devices

The device must have been active on the T-Mobile network for at least

40 days

on the requesting line.

If the device is financed using T-Mobile’s Equipment Installment Plan (EIP)or if it's leased through JUMP! On Demand™, all payments must be satisfied and the device must be paid in full.

If the device is on an account that is under a service contract term, at least 18 consecutive monthly payments must have been made or the account has migrated to Simple Choice no contract rate plan.

If the device is associated with a canceled account, the account balance must be zero, including all pending charges

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

You can buy the phone from a shady authorize t-mobile store but you have to be on a plan for 40 days before you can ask the CS for the unlock code.

I tried that few times with the Note 4.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:

I was not aware of that - It must have happend after I unlocked - the first week or two on the S6 was crazy - trying to figure out how - the process you mentioned sounds great - do you have happen to know where to find it or do you have inks to the thread where it was done so I can read up on it?

Hello all, I beg thee if you can help me, my friend "stole" my xda orbit while I was erm drunk and changed a load of settings, inc adding a password. When I was sober he told me what it was so I could use the phone again. But last night I accidently wanted to change the 4 digit number code that you do when the phone goes inactive for like 1 minute...Instead I think I accidently activated some password...everytime I go to restart the xda I get grilled for a password and if its wrong the time counter keeps going up and up...

Basically I really either need to crack or deactivate this password or some how backup my txts and phone...as I didn't before and theres a few sentimental texts I don't want to lose...
