[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ytsejam_:
i am really contemplating on the same ideas as well.. but having ideas without any knowledge in programming really sucks for me..

i stumbled this very nice transition animation thingies which are said written in dotNET framework 2..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOMrPz56OVo

link to the developer can be found here

the project is made only for smartphones but i think the transitions switches and its idea can be used in a revolutionary PPC launcher of some sort..

i quite don't like having a launcher that eats the whole screen (just like the touchflo cube), hiding the top and bottom bars, giving the user an illusion of having a "new" and "exciting" interface - but then after you select something, you'll be pulled back to the same windows mobile interface..

maybe it's better to just stick to what Windows mobile looks like, but yet, giving it something flashy and worth seeing instead.. just like cool transitions..

maybe the swipe gesture can be used to flip the contents of the screen instead (including the top and bottom bars) rather than rotating a full screen cube.. i think it'll definitely load and feel faster than summoning a full screen application and redrawing the default interface and the launched program afterwards..

just a thought though..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jamesus:
That is pretty cool...hopefully it can be applied to touch screens as well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PianoSam:
Some excellent additional thoughts and ideas. For me a fullscreen app works best as it allows the touch interface to look much better than wm6 and gives me more 'elbow' room when using my fingers to control the application.

The flash solution looks good but I would prefer to minimise memory demands by loading as little additional software as possible.

Mind you I am no longer a coder and if it works and avoids devouring all my memory I will be VERY happy indeed.

All the best,

Sam.

Orb Interface Concept

Hello

I thought of a new interface idea that would be finger friendly and everything. Read about it on my XDA post here:

I think it would be a great interface, but I need some programers to make it happen. Get the word out about this project, and maybe something will happen.

Thanks,

Andrew

Was going to use Aptoide or something like that instead the Google play stuff for my Android apps

Will that work ok or will it have problems also ?

Thanks
[Amazon Fire Phone] Bingo Bronson:
You could use any store in theory, but some apps need the Google Play services, otherwise they won't start / work properly.

The Playstation app for example. I didn't want to install a whole GAPPS package, so I installed only the Play services.

In that case it worked, but I can't promise it will work for every app.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Alibaba0101:
No,

I guess you could always switch to a windows phone if you don't need any apps ;o)
[Amazon Fire Phone] najoor:
The only use I have found for gapps is downloads from play store, and even those apps can be sideloaded without the need for gapps. Otherwise, in my opinion, gapps framework is a constant drag on fire-phone. They use up resources in the background.

I have about 7 androd devices and have disabled Google Apps on almost all of them, and life is good.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Bingo Bronson:
Same here, using F-Droid and a 2nd repo I made for myself. I'd rather buy (or donate for) apps directly, e.g. here on XDA instead of using the Play Store.

Novice users tend to prefer Google Play Store & services, because it's comfortable and (usually ^^) hassle free, I suppose. ;)
[Amazon Fire Phone] TristianX:
I have apps I've paid for on google play store and there are other apps there that are not on amazon's app store so yeah you really do.
[Amazon Fire Phone] in.dubio:
I'm still running 4.6.1, so no Google Play Store or Services for me. I get all my apps from Aptoide and most of them work fine. So you don't really need to use Google stuff but as mentioned some apps won't work...
[Amazon Fire Phone] pressingonalways:
Any app store will work... the only advantage about using google play store and google services is that you need google play services to get most google apps working such as maps, hangouts, etc. Also, any games that work with the Play store scoring system will require google play. Other than that, most 3rd party apps will work fine if they don't integrate with google play.

I am currently running stock 5.1 rooted with CFA auto root and TWRP installed.

So for some reason I need to unroot the device completely. I un installed super user via the app. I need to get the stock recovery back. I tried to flash the recovery from the stock 5.1 link posted in the general section [http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-2014/general/5-1-firmwares-t3148211] after extracting the recovery from the zip. It flashed successfully but when I go to the recovery the android logo comes with the red logo and no command sign.

What steps do i need to take to get back stock recovery?

EDIT 1: reading post #6 [http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-2014/help/loading-stock-recovery-xt1095-t3145130]

, it says that is what a stock recovery is supposed to do. So am I good?

EDIT 2: Also my bootloader says:

Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3

Software status: Modified

And when I runfastboot oem lock

the error displayed is:

G:\root\adb\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem lock

...

(bootloader) FAIL: Please run fastboot oem lock begin first!

(bootloader) sst lock failure!

OKAY [ 0.016s]

finished. total time: 0.016s

Will this have any effect on my future OTA?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGISCI:
That android on his back is the stock recovery. After you press the power and volume buttons in combination some options will appear.

Locked or unlocked does not affect OTA. There is no benefit to relocking it.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulley06:
So if I understand correctly having

"Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3

Software status: Modified"

will not affect me getting future OTA and all I need is stock recovery and no root?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGISCI:
No, that will not affect OTA updates. All you need is a stock system and recovery.

Can anyone tell how to root B317 n lt-09...I tried kingroot but failed. Tq in advanced
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vonotny:
Flash a custom recovery such as TWRP and use it to install a SuperSU zip (preferrably the latest version.) The exact details can be found in the forum somewhere.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fone_fanatic:
Is there anyway to do this without unlocking the boot loader?

It won't flash the recovery when I try and the guide I found to unlock the boulder requires going to a site to get an unlock code and that site is down.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vonotny:
I don't think so. You can't install a custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader, and without a custom recovery you can't flash to the system partition, which you need to do with most "regular" root apps such as SuperSU. Since KingRoot doesn't seem to work, it seems you're out of luck.

I remember that it took me quite an effort to get my bootloader unlocked, I had to do a ton of searching in these and other forums, but in the end I found a way that worked. Maybe you just need to dig a little deeper :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] vipjeff:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Edge 6 with T-Mobile from T-mobile, love the phone, but I lost my job and the bill got out of control so I have not paid in like 3 months I think now.

It was not too big of a deal since my main number is a Google Voice number and I use Google Hangouts to make phone calls and text messages by default.

Its perfect when I am at home on wi-fi but as soon as I leave and not within wi-fi of course I get no internet functionality.

For a while I saw the carrier logo at the top of my phone "T-Mobile" but now it just says "searching" where it used to say that in the upper part of the screen on every screen. (I may have switched a setting causing this or they may have blacklisted my phone I am not sure how to tell).

The phone is not carrier unlocked however if I was to go to Walmart or even a T-Mobile store, tell them I don't have the phone on me but I just want to purchase a pre-paid SIM, could I do that and would it work on my phone to get back on the T-mobile or other carriers network?

Since I use Google Hangouts for my texts and calls it is very important for me to have data. I am sure 5GB would be fine but I want to purchase the cheapest SIM which has any kind of data to see if it even works first. I do not care what number it gives me since I will not be using it for outgoing or incoming calls.

My concern is that if I go with T-Mobile pre-pay, when I put SIM in, it may reject it automatically because they may have sent some kind of SIM lock command since it is not showing carrier anymore OR they may look up my IMEI and see that I have an outstanding bill with them and not allow the SIM.

Any suggestions besides the obvious "pay your bill" would be greatly appreciated! When I can afford to pay the bill I will :cyclops:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Alex9090:
Short answer, yes it will work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] vipjeff:
Ok great thank you! Will go in and get a T-mob SIM tomorrow. Or actually, does anyone have advice of where to get the cheapest SIM so I can try this to make sure it works first? I think for $30 you can get 5GB data and a little talk from T-Mob is there anything cheaper? I am super-broke right now lol. I just need the data no talk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Lobo Lansky:
Actually it depends on if the phone was part of the bill. If it wasnt payed off and you didnt pay them it will get blacklisted and it wont work with any carrier in the us. But if the phone was paid outright then you should be fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] vipjeff:
See that is what I am talking about. The phone AND Galaxy Gear S with activated SIM both were not paid off and bill is at $600 and it used to say "T-mobile" for carrier on top of phone screen now it just says "Searching" thus I am pretty sure that is a sign of being blacklisted. Even if phone is blacklisted cant I do something to make it use a prepaid SIM? Can I spoof the IMEI? Is that how they blacklist it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] vipjeff:
I got around to trying this and no, it did not work. In fact I went to one of those third party T-mobile places which is an authorized dealer but he was still cool to talk about it with and had access to the T-mobile database.

He asked for my phone, went to the dialer app on the phone, put in a code with the numeric keypad, and it pulled up two bar codes and numbers (I think the IMEI).

He then went on his computer and put in my IMEI or whatever number was there and sure enough it said it was blacklisted.

I had a feeling this was the case when my phone went from showing the carrier logo on the top of the screen they it said "searching" after about 3 months on non payment.

So when I tried to purchase a new prepaid SIM and put it in the phone and phone restarted, instead of saying "searching" it now says "no service".

There has to be a work around for this. Maybe changing the phones IMEI is the only way but if there are other alternatives I would like to know. I can program and have been writing code since I was 12 years old but not sure if I need special hardware to flash and internal EEPROM or something like that. Any hep is greatly appreciated!

I hear there are people that I can pay to do it but I enjoying learning things like this on my own so I would really like to do it myself if possible?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] M9x3mos:
Changing the imei might be possible but for legal and policy reasons that can not be discussed here
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] vipjeff:
I see tons of ways to do it with a Google search super easy. But it seems TWRP might do it or at least let me backup everything including the system partition so I dont lose anything and can always go back?

Where can I get and learn more about TWRP and must I be rooted?

Can we currently root Samsung GS6 with Android OS 5.1.1 ?

[LG Watch Urbane] Lamba92:
Does Runtastic use the built-in heart rate monitor of an Android Wear devices? If yes, does it do it constantly or only on-demand?
[LG Watch Urbane] kaiser_tytnii:
no, you can only track heart rate with google fit or the built in LG app... if you sync runtastic with google fit then you can have both heart rate and other stats in one place as android wear is not listed as compatible heart rate monitoring equipment in runtastic. hope it helps.
[LG Watch Urbane] A_Str8:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pnn.android.sport_gear_tracker SGT tracks heart rate and syncs with Fit, though Fit syncing seems buggy

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.endomondo.android Endomondo tracks heart rate. It syncs some details with Fit, but heart rate doesn't get synced

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jwork.wearable.heartratesync2 Heart Rate OS tracks heart rate periodically and syncs with Fit. It does not track anything else and it can't track heart rate continuously during a work out

There are no great fitness trackers that I can find for Wear :(
[LG Watch Urbane] cozyjohn:
heart rate os2, seems to be working well, better than fit.
[LG Watch Urbane] jamesst20:
I got the LG Urbane and also the Bluetooth Heart Rate strap 'Polar H7' (which is amazing btw) but I couldn't find nether an Android wear app that can track the Heart Rate :(

Runtastic can track your heart rate on the phone continuously but since I don't want to take my phone with me, that kind of sucks :/
[LG Watch Urbane] itesla:
Anyone made progress on Urbane/Android Wear and heart rate? I have used RunKeeper app for a while, so that was my preferred site for syncing data to. I have a Polar H7 that RK works with and sync's charts up to their site.

I got a FitBit Flex wristband (no heart rate) about a year ago and have stuck with it and their app/site is pretty good too.

Google Fit site still hasn't caught up to RunKeeper or FitBit IMO.

And now with the Urbane, the heart rate seems a waste. Just the one LG app seems to have access to heart rate and the data doesn't sync anywhere. :( Urbane is too big to wear exercising but could be useful to get my resting heart rate sync'd to RunKeeper or FitBit every week to see if it is improving as I exercise more and lose weight.
[LG Watch Urbane] jamesst20:
I had written a very basic app that could track the heart rate from a Polar H7 or possibly other standard Bluetooth monitor.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamesst20.heartratewear

It does not sync with anything, nor it saves anything. That's all I needed in that time
[LG Watch Urbane] itesla:
Cool, will try it out. Where do you find specs for H7 data? Wondering how hard it would be to make a sync app for H7 to FitBit.
[LG Watch Urbane] jamesst20:
There is no specs for H7 sadly. But it does use the standard bluetooth specs so you should rely on those :)
[LG Watch Urbane] mward1995:
Not sure if it's what you're looking for,, but ghostracer can use the built in HR sensor or sync a bluetooth chest strap to track HR. I have an LG Urbane 2nd Edition and the built in sensor isn't very accurate but I've use the chest strap successfully. Ghostracer will also directly sync runs to strava, runkeeper or smashrun. I use SyncMyTracks to sync to other platforms like endomondo, Nike, runtastic etc.
[LG Watch Urbane] Sp4rrow:
App with Android Wear heart rate sensor support.

Endomondo has full support for Android Wear heart rate monitor. It reads current and average result from watch's sensor. Also it shows proper Pulse zones in summary.

I'm using it while riding a bike. (Watch Urbane W150)

Note. You need to have watch's screen in always on mode to prevent application from going to sleep. I've noticed that once watch screen goes off app turns off sensor and reports only initial reading. (it's good idea to turn gestures off as well to prevent accidental exiting of an endomondo app).

I've written to Runtastic support asking if there are any plans for adding Android Wear heart rate monitor support. They are not going to add this feature in near future. Too bad. Cash goes to Endomondo :(
[LG Watch Urbane] edubertoldi:
After testing a lot of apps, I think I finally found the best alternative (for me). Sportstracker can track heart rate in real time during workout, from my LG Urbane, and also from my Polar H7. The pro version only requires a one-time payment, so in the long run it turns out being much cheaper than Endomondo.

Lite version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sportstracklive.android.ui.activity.lite&hl=pt_BR

Pro version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sportstracklive.android.ui.activity.pro&hl=pt_BR

I also used Sync My Tracks, so I could import all my previous workout sessions from Runtastic.
[LG Watch Urbane] eight_bits:
You could try as well this Wear OS app: 'Heart for Bluetooth' (can be found on google play store)

It takes the HR data from the watch and sends it to Runtastic on your phone instantly via Bluetooth so no need to sync via other accounts like google fit..

What's the problem about the update?, what's the things that you don't like?, is the performance of the device affected in a bad way? Or what issues does the update has?

Thanks in advance! :good:
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cigla tel.:

What's new in the Lollipop which could be useful to users, that is the question!

I mean, if you do not know what is new and revolutionary, why take a chance? Curiosity about?

P.S. before we get to the process of updating, changelog for Android Lollipop for the Samsung Galaxy A5 with important changes, will be useful. ;)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bernardwu:
Unfortunately Samsung doesn't not provide change logs for firmware updates.

The reason why people are downgrading from KitKat to Lollipop is probably because of bad RAM management in Lollipop, buggy, not compatible with Xposed Framework, or perhaps not used to the new interface and prefers the KitKat interface instead.
