[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tazz.:
So I have these headphones that output most of the sound from the left earphone. I've been using PowerAmp for my music and it has an equalizer in which the sound can be focused to either the left or right. I put it to the left as it is the only side that is mainly working. However, this doesn't work for other things such as YouTube or Twitch. I was wondering are there any system wide/level equalizers that can do the same thing and hopefully help me output all the sound through one side. Thanks

So, I tried to install CWM today on my InFocus M330 with the MTK Droid Root & Tools but now it won't boot up, it just bootloops. I can't even go into recovery mode, I can just enter the Fastboot mode but I think that the bootloader is locked and InFocus won't tell me how to unlock it. And because the bootloader is locked, I can't do anything in the Fastboot mode, my PC won't even detect the phone with the command "fastboot devices".
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarekElsakka:
Hey there

I am basically fixing my sister's Galaxy S5 (G900H) by just completely formatting the device and installing the latest software since it has slowed down considerably. The only experience I ever had with Samsung devices was with my old Galaxy S3 so I'm kind of familiar with the whole process or at least I'll do some reading to catch up, but my question is, which ROM should I go for? What is the latest and most stable? I know this is a difficult question to answer because it is subjective and based on personal preference (I'm a HTC addict so I know all about that), however I cannot really see any of the familiar ROMs like Android Revolution HD, Venom/Viper ROM, etc. so I am having a hard time deciding. I want a ROM that is as stock as possible like Android Revolution HD on many devices.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you guys!

EDIT: On a side note, I know the best thing to do would be to go to SamMobile and download the latest official firmware, but from my experience with many Android devices I believe that custom ROMs are the best since they are debloated and customized for optimum performance and battery life, especially since Samsung seems to enjoy bloating their devices with so many unnecessary things.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Latest stock lollipop is great IMO, no need for custom at least for mine

Custom always come with problems from experience, better speed and smaller size at the expense of stability, Id opt for stability every time
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarekElsakka:
Thank you for your reply. I decided I should install the latest official ROM then root the device and debloat it myself. It'll take a bit more time but it's worth it, I suppose. Thanks again!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
That's what I've done, the stock ROMs are great IMO, apart from the bloat of course
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Just be advised that some people are finding it impossible (or very difficult) to root the latest Lollipop firmwares......

If you have KitKat on the device, a better option would be to root that, then retain root access through and during the upgrade process.....The way to do that (so I believe) is.....

Root KitKat. ...

Use Mobile Odin or Flashfire (both apps by Chainfire) to upgrade to Lollipop while injecting root at the time of flashing.

For info......Flashfire is the newer, more up to date of the two.....

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarekElsakka:
I know this is a late reply but I recently acquired my sister's S5 after giving her my other phone, an iPhone 5S (stupid move by her, I know, but good for me), and the device is currently on Android KitKat. I already downloaded the latest Lollipop firmware from SamMobile, so from my understanding I should root KitKat using Flashfire, then upgrade and at the same time include the root file using Flashfire?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
No fella.....not quite.....

You can't use Flashfire unless you already have root access.....

If you are on KitKat, you have 2 options for root.......

1) Towelroot......This will give you root without tripping Knox

2) CF Root......will give you root but WILL trip Knox.

Once you have got root THEN use Flashfire to upgrade to Lollipop and retain root.....

Awesome, [MENTION=4806698]keithross39[/MENTION], thank you for the helpful information. This is a stupid question but what is Knox?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Knox is an eFuse that gets unalterably tripped if a custom software package is installed.......

It's primary use is to ensure that a device is safe for connection to enterprise (business) networks.....

But Samsung are also using it as a warranty flag.....

Once Knox is tripped, they refuse to supply any form of warranty repair......even if the software modifications had absolutely nothing to do with the fault......

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarekElsakka:
Thanks again, keith, you've been a great help. The device's warranty has already ended quite some time ago because it was only for one year, but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry in case a factory problem comes up somehow. Thanks again!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
No problem fella....too true...better safe than sorry..

I think I read some time back that Samsung refused to repair a knox tripped device even though the phone owner offered to pay in full for the repair.....

Shows you how serious Samsung is about Knox.....

I agree you can always run into issues with custom ROM's. Although I prefer them over stock to be honest. The inner tech nerd in me. :cowboy:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
True.....it's fair to say that we wouldn't be here if we didn't care for the benefits of custom roms.....

But for me at least, knox has (temporarily) removed that option. When my warranty has expired, I guess I'll start to experiment.....but that's not for another 15 months yet.......

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarekElsakka:
I just tried rooting using TowelRoot but it kept giving me an error "this phone isn't currently supported". I went on Google and tried changing the code strings by tapping the "welcome" sign three times and changing the codes, but none of them worked. I guess my only option is to root using CF-Auto-Root, huh?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
The device probably *is* supported but the kitkat build may be too recent.....

Go to settings >> about device and check the build date.....

If it was compiled on or after July 1st 2014, then you need to download an older kernel and Odin flash it before attempting to towelroot.....

The exact steps are as follows.

1) source a copy of your current kernel and an older (device specific) Kernel.

2) odin flash the older kernel.

3) Reboot, install towelroot and run it

4) odin flash your current kernel.

5) Reboot and enjoy root access.

At stage 3, your phone will appear to be unstable, don't worry about this, it is to be expected.

For information, which build of kitkat is installed on your device as of now?

Edit.....This is the guide I followed to root....

I am not sure which version it is, to be honest. I've tried Googling but I couldn't find anything related to official kernels, just custom ones. If I were to take a wild guess, I'd have to assume that I could extract the kernel from an old firmware on SamMobile? This seems to be the oldest one for my device:

2014-04-01	Egypt	4.4.2	G900HXXU1ANCI	G900HOJV1ANCH

But then again is extracting the kernel from it even possible?

It seems like I am going to go the custom ROM route since I will be tripping the knox system at any case. Thanks for all your help, man, I truly appreciate it.

I have been a HTC user for a long, long time now and my main recovery is TWRP, should I go for that on my S5? I only see Philz (CWM) recovery mentioned around here, though, so I'm not too sure. I'm also going for this ROM: AbhiDroid S6 port for S5[SM-G900H].
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
There is a TWRP recovery for the S5, you'll find links to it in several places in the CF ROOT thread.......

As far as custom ROM's are concerned, I am not the best person to answer here, I have decided (for now) to stay with rooted, debloated stock.....as such, I haven't even started to research the other (custom) options yet......

Sorry fella....

Yeah I ended up flashing TWRP and everything is working properly. I had a very laggy, slow, and unstable experience with AbhiDroid's ROM so I flashed Ladesar instead and it is extremely fast and nearly perfect.

is there a way to put a call on speaker so that others can listen while i still using my headset? if i push the button while the headset is in, nothing happens!

i'm using WM5

while i'm here... what's all the buzz about wm6? is it even worth bothering? i checked microsofts product page about it a while ago to see the new features, but nothing seemed really mindblowing.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalabhavan:
Hai

I unlocked my Moto G (XT1033 with Lollipop ) bootloader and Installed TWRP recovery and everything was smooth until I tried for a Nandroid backup (the storage space was little low).

After the backup i tried for the reboot my moto just showing bootloader unlocked warning only.i tried fast boot using the power key +volume down key it shows the AP Fastboot flash Mode (s). Recovery option shows team win logo for 3-4 seconds and then the unlocked bootloader message and loops.only barcode option works.

then i dig through XDA Forum n tried custom recovery using ADB and fastboot tool.

installed moto usb drivers and tried to connect using usb cable as my device in fastboot flash mode my win 10 detects my phone as fastboot falcon s .but when i tried adb/fast boot commands it just shows waiting for device or null no device detected .

what should i do .please help ..

my local serviceman says after seeking motorola forum support(as he said) IC may be damaged.

if like that motherboard changing will be the only option ihave left??

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] chuckado:
I was wondering if anyone has heard anything on the 5.1.1 update will be released. All of the other major carriers have released it weeks ago so I am expecting it anytime now. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] chp:
I don't have any information on the 5.1.1 update from AT&T but I will say that the lack of updates really gives a bad impression of the S6 edge.

I'm testing the waters of switching from AT&T to T-Mobile, sold my G925A, and bought the G925T. The G925T has had 5.1.1 for some time now and T-Mobile just pushed out the latest updates with all known Stagefright vulnerabilities addressed, most of the S6 edge+ updates (App Edge, refreshed icons), Rich Communication Services support, and the Samsung Pay app (not fully enabled yet, though). The phone seems to run the way it was designed with no noticeable lag, overall quicker response (even the fingerprint reader is noticeably faster), and a bit less carrier bloat.

If I end up staying with AT&T, this version unlocked will probably be superior to the AT&T version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] KryptosXLayer2:
Thank you for this excellent comparison - you've confirmed for me exactly what I thought would be the case if I were to go with a G925T over the A, but instead, I think I'm just going to dump this phone off and go with the Nexus 5X (2015) - I won't have to deal with any root issues, any lack of updates anymore, any AT&T BS....

I'm just so sick of how AT&T has treated loyal customers with locked down phones, I just don't have the time to spend screwing with them anymore, not like I did before, but now I'm just fed up with the whole thing - I wish I could say "something has to change," but it never will, customers will just buy locked down phones, suffer through not being able to root them, and forget all about what it was like to have control anymore!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] srideep:
What's the best way to get rid of it. I am on AT&T Next as well :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] AddToChaos:
Thanks for this info. I totally agree with both chp & KryptosXLayer2 about this issue. I've got a 925A, actually Build G925AUCU2AOF4, using T-Mobile and although I get great reception (I live in a box-canyon and reception on most networks is pretty nil), besides ALL the AT&T bloatware & needless/useless apps I can't remove unless rooted, I can't root this phone! (Also, same issue with the 5.1.1 update not available.) Tried all the options only to learn AT&T hasn't released the file to be able to root it. I'm fed up also and after reading ya'lls comments I think I'll start looking for a 925T as well and dump my 925A. Tired of waiting for AT&T to get with the program...
[General Questions and Answers] cyborgmanu:
I would like to disable the message that pops up when an app force closes. I know some ROMs have this feature but I am using CM12.1 and there is not an option.

Can it be done with some other method?

Thanks in Advance.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] UlrichStern77:
Hello all,

So as we all know, Verizon has removed the Power Saver feature from the htc m9 (but we still have access to Extreme Power Saver). To get around this limitation I was using Nova Launcher, creating a short cut to "Activities", and enabling the powersaver.activity (or something like that).

However, with the latest update from Verizon that option doesn't seem to work anymore...

Is there a way around this? I can't even root my phone to access it, and all I really want is access to the feature that is already on the phone!

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
If rooted it's easy to enable the power saving mod.

(if not rooted, I am not sure of a way)

system\customize\CID\default.xml

<item name="def_user_powersaver_enable">1</item>

to

<item name="def_user_powersaver_enable">0</item>

but this will require either a factory reset or editing the SQ database.

an easier method, would be to edit the HtcPowerManager.apk (again, only if rooted)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] UlrichStern77:
Right, and rooting is the problem on this phone. :/ The Nova launcher trick didn't need root, and I really can't afford to mail it off to a Java Card holder. Was hoping there was another way around.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Warrior VII:
No update on this? I'm wondering the same thing. I really just want power saver back. And if I rooted, honestly the main reason I'd do it is to extend battery life.

I can't believe Verizon would remove a helpful feature. Why stab your customers in the back like that for no reason? Seriously, what on earth would make them want to remove something that is GOOD for the phone and the user.

No sense.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] aer0zer0:
Still need root, but sunshine now supports Verizon, so at least you don't need to mail it out
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Warrior VII:
Sunshine is just for S-Off right?

Is there a decent up to date guide that runs through rooting a Verizon M9 on Marshmallow? I've been unable to find one.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] aer0zer0:
Once you get soff, game over.

1. Get soff and bootloader unlocked

2. Download twrp 3.0.2.0, place in adb directory

3. Install twrp in download mode (fastboot flash recovery whatevertheimageisnamed.img)

4. Download supersu.zip version 2.65 (make sure it is that version) and copy to phone storage, make sure it is a zip

5. Boot into twrp, via ABOOT, and selecting recovery

6. Follow the prompt to make system writable, then goto install, then find the supersu.zip, and flash it

7. Reboot and you should be gtg
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] l7777:
From an adb shell on your computer you can use:

settings put secure hide_ui_user_powersaver 0

Tested on 3.37.605.7

If you try to run it from a shell on the device, it will need root permissions but not from an adb shell.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] jonvic:
please

please how do i go about this
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Well I need some more info. Where are you stuck and what is confusing that I can help clear up. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] jonvic:
thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] supermaxkato:
Well I still pull out this phone sometimes, and decided to do this and it still works!

HTC one m9 on Verizon Android 7 Software number: 4.49.605.16

Not rooted (bootloader is still locked with stock rom)

Enable developer options

Enable us debugging

Connect to your PC and click ok on phone to permit adb access

Then type adb devices to make sure yours is connected and online

Then type: adb shell

Then type: settings put secure hide_ui_user_powersaver 0

It will repeat the command in the next line and then go back to the shell

(This means it worked and you can now reboot)

Now go back to settings and your power menu will now show a new option above extreme power saving mode called simply "Power saver" (see attached pic)

It crashes if you click the words, but it works if you just turn it on with the switch.

Win!

I'd actually prefer lazada compared to oppomart. Incase anything goes wrong lazada will be liable directly and they're easier to get in touch and retrieve your money back.

Oppomart on the otherhand is a pain in the ass. Ordered my accessories from them since they're the only ones who sell OPT accessories and ship to the Philippines and it took them a week to get it shipped, now I'm still waiting after 3 weeks and the items are still "preparing for shipping".
