Awesome work.

This is fantastic. Is there any way of getting this to work with a locked bootloader?

Sent from my Xperia Z3+
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Android Development] dl12345:
I'd venture to suggest that it's highly unlikely that locked bootloader recovery could work. The DM_VERITY is almost a guarantor of that. Just search for CONFIG_DM_VERITY or Verity in the Z3+ forums for more info.

Even if an exploit works, the second it modifies the system partition, the kernel panics and refuses to boot. The only way of preventing that is to flash a new kernel or edit the ramdisk to remove the verity key. And the only way to flash a new kernel / edit the ramdisk is to unlock the bootloader.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Android Development] elladroid:
Thank you first for development... maazing!

I have unlocked the bootloader via Sony and then used an boot.img from Devries to root as root was my primary goal. I have flashbooted as per instructions the TWRP recovery.img that is provided here by the awesome dl12345 .

However the issue is that I am unable to boot to recovery after rebooting from TWRP. In other words the flashboot works and I am able to make a backup and use TWRP well but it doesn't seem to stick.

Am I doing something wrong. Should I have flashed a ROM first from xperfirm, Flashtools, and/or can I flash a kernel without it effecting the recovery. My knowledge is sketchy but I am totally up for testing if I can help.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Android Development] dl12345:
This is correct behaviour. You're not actually flashing the recovery image, just temporarily booting a recovery kernel and associated ramdisk. Sony Xperia devices don't have a recovery partition, or more accurately, they don't have a bootloader than can check and load a boot image from a recovery partition.

Technically it's possible to make the boot image check for a ramdisk on another partition and use this instead of the normal ramdisk, but this is step two. Sony should be releasing an open recovery bootloader fairly soon for the Z3+ which will allow this recovery image to be flashed. It's already been released for other devices.

Until Sony releases open recovery for Z3+ or I spend the time trying to implement a feature that probably only has days or weeks of utility (until Sony releases the open recovery for Z3+) , you're stuck with a TWRP that you need to launch every time in fastboot mode.

On the first screen immediately after the TWRP logo comes up, the battery is always being reported at being 50%. Sometimes the correct number is displayed when in the flashing screen. Otherwise works great!

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jBatchNZ:
Hey team,

Ive just joined this site in the hope of getting some assistance. I have a Z1 Compact, android v5.0.2 and I'm hoping someone can help me.

Im trying to get my device to work with Ps4 Remote Play - I realise its not one of the sony supported devices (I bought it too soon sadly). I have managed to get the remote play app itself working, I can stream my ps4 fine and it works with the on screen controls. However Im looking to take advantage of the DS4 controller. I can sync the controller with my phone, and most of the buttons work fine, but the analog joysticks don't really respond. Now through my research it would seem I need an additional app called sixaxis controller because my phone isnt strictly speaking one of the official devices for remote play.

This leads me to my question... is there any other way around this to get the DS4 controller working? If not... the sixaxis app requires that I root my phone. I have not done this... never done this... am a bit cautious bacause a google search renders 100's of different ways to do this..

Could someone please talk me through an easy, safe way to back up my phone so I do not lose any apps/images/contacts etc. and then root the phone. Im not trying to achieve anything fancy, just enable remote play. Also - ideally I would like the option of unrooting too incase I decide to go back.

Any help would be so so appreciated! Im not the most tech savvy person so easy methods would be great if there is such a thing. Thanks in advance!

Hello!

Deep Ball is a small and simple game my cousin and I have worked on this summer. It's been a nice journey during which we've learnt the in an outs of android development and publishing. I wanted the game to be as minimalist as possible and small in size, not to mention as less intrusive as possible reason for which it needs only 2 basic permissions. This is our first release on Google Play.

The goal of the game is quite simple: make sure the ball which is fixed in the center of the screen passes through the openings of the bars. There are 2 versions of the game, one where you freely move the bars coming from below and the other one where you need to tap them.

The speed gradually increases the further you advance and the higher the score. At the moment the Tap version needs a little tuning, as in the starting speed needs to be increased because our beta testers seemed to easily obtain a score of 30-40 from the beginning.

So yeah, below you'll find the links to the play store, check out the screenshots and try the games out if you wish. Any feedback is warmly accepted! :) Let me know if you encounter any bugs or crashes.

Minimum android version: 2.3

Hey all, not sure if this is covered somewhere else or not. My searching only seemed to yield results for 5.0. If it isn't, maybe this'll help some, if it is, please let me know of the better option.

In short, I upgraded from CM12 to CM12.1 yesterday. For the remote in CM12, I enabled init.d support and flashed the .zip in this link:

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/app-quickremote-port-aosp-t2929146

Hereafter option A, lol.

That worked just great for me, no issues at all. When I upgraded to 12.1 yesterday, that didn't seem to work anymore. All I get is a quickremote force close message when the phone first boots. I tried these as well:

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/quick-remote-app-cyanogenmod-12-nightly-t3048963?nocache=1

Hereafter option B.

Both .zips in option B yielded the same result. I tried the play store not really expecting anything, but found a remote called AnyMote - Smart TV Remote. It says it only works with the G3 and G4. When used with none of the quickremote .zips installed, it doesn't find the IR sender and won't do anything. With the quickremote .zip installed though (either one from option B, didn't try A), it finds the IR sender. I set up that app for my TV's etc, and its working perfectly so far. The only annoyance is I still get that once force close message upon first boot.

So in sum, what I did was set selinux to permissive with universal init.d.

Flash one of the .zips in option B in TWRP.

Install AnyMote from the play store.

All is well so far, I'll update if something changes. Also, feel free to tell me of a better option. I didn't find anything yet and this is what I figured out, but it doesn't mean it's the best.

Hello

Hello, first of all, thanks for pointing me in the right direction, since my first android smartphone (many years ago) i install custom roms on every phone i lay my hands on, stock roms are not enough having so many flavors of roms, personally i like cm more but sometimes it just does not work with some of my devices, in this case i have the ls980 variant of the LG G2, i installed cm12.1 and the system was ok, but i could not get to work the Quick Remote apk and the battery drained really fast, i switched to crDroid with 6.0 and the same 2 problems plus wifi acting weird, i was stuck with modded stock ZVG 5.0.2, with the lame lg garbage software, yesterday i found Resurrection Remix and i flashed it, it works like a charm, so i decided to give quick remote another try, i tried to set Selinux to permissive and toggle init.d but it seems that this is enabled by default in the rom, so i just flashed v2 of option b and boom, its working flawlessly, i also updated the Quick Remote apk with one someone uploaded in the comments of the same post, so it has the latest features, this is the only rom i could make it work in. anyways i just wanted to share my experience with this thingy

CM13 MM

Hello, im here again to update the topic more, i now updated my G2 to Resurrection Remix on MM based on CM13, and the files that worked for me on 5.1.1 wont work on 6.0, so after asking some questions here and there, syndre, another user, found the necessary files for QuickRemote to work on MM, so i bring them here, i also want to explain the process because for me, it was not as straight forward as last time.

First and obviously you have to download the zip wich i will attach at the bottom

Second and more obvious, you flash the file on your custom recovery, it doesn't matter wich you have (twrp, cwm, philz)

Remember that your Selinux has to be set to Permissive wich you can maybe do in your rom settings, some of them have it by default set to permissive or you can search for the Selinux mode changer here on Xda, also your rom has to have init.d support enabled, again, some of them have it by default, you can download Universal Init.d from the play store and enable it,

The zip will flash the apk's for QuickRemote and QuicksetSDK and the files needed for them in /system/app, it will also flash a startup init.d script in /system/etc/init.d/ and another script in /system/addon.d/

The apk's (LGQRemote.apk and QuicksetSDK.apk) must have their permission set to rw-r--r-- or chmod644 both of them for the system to detect them, if they dont appear on your app drawer, unzip the file and manually copy them to their respective folders in /system/app/ using aroma file manager or Es File Explorer with root permission, you can chmod644 them on aroma file manager or set the permissions in Es File Explorer

The scripts (80-quickremote.sh and 10QuickRemote.sh) must have their permissions set to rwx rwx rwx or chmod755, this will almost never fail but if they do, you can do the same as with the apk's.

Every time you copy files or set permissions you have to reboot for the changes to take effect.

You should now have QuickRemote working on you AOSP MM build, if not, lets troubleshoot.

I can't see the quick remote app, be sure the apk's are on the right folder inside /system/app/ and that they have the right permissions set, also the app may be in the app drawer but its named com.lge.... and it has the default green android icon.

At boot it gives me a "QuisetSDK stopped working" error, remember to check your Selinux and init.d state, Selinux must be Permissive and if init.d is enabled you should se a file named Qremote.log on the root of your Sdcard, if you open it as text, you will see if the state of Selinux is correct, if you dont see the file, init.d is disabled and if you see it but it does not say that Selinux is permissive you have to set selinux to permissive.

I can open the QuickRemote app but no manufacturers are showing on x device list, this is a Selinux or init.d problem, do the previous 2 steps again.

Those are the only problems I've encountered, amd thats the way i solved them, if you have any more questions, send me a pm remeber to thank [MENTION=3735359]syndre[/MENTION] for helping to bring this to MM

[Motorola Droid 4] dom2319:
Hi Timothy,

OK you're running Android JellyBean, AFAIK Verizon never released a Kit-Kat (Android 4.4) update for the device.

Personally, given that AFAIK it's not possible to roll back to a previous version of Android (you can only reinstall the previous version), I would suggest you root it, install SafeStrap and do a quick install of something like Cyanogen (not the best ROM for Droid 4 IMHO but will quickly do the job). At least those can be rolled back.

Rooting and installing SafeStrap is SO utterly easy on this device that it should be made harder ;)

For a start, everything you'll need, if you want, can be grabbed from my Google Drive

h t t p s://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3MTT4jOK738fmdLLURMQVBGWkVpTDBMTmg1UGFUd3JWNDNlcUVzQWZFQXBpT3dCMFJhdTg&usp=drive_web&tid=0B0EWnwDplBc0fnBGbDg3ZmdZNC1ET1JZeVRWdE8tZ2p1Um41OThLeTZ2WWtRNE9TUXJpS2M

If you don't have any file manager yet (as you'll need one), ES File Explorer is a great one, as you'll most certainly need it.

Rooting:

Get Towel root from:

h t t p s://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B0EWnwDplBc0fi1KMVVIRmQteDhFYWcwSGFselpXWmpfV29LWlZlZVVHdlU0b0FBQnYtNkk&usp=drive_web&tid=0B0EWnwDplBc0fnBGbDg3ZmdZNC1ET1JZeVRWdE8tZ2p1Um41OThLeTZ2WWtRNE9TUXJpS2M#list

install it and root your Droid4

Installing SafeStrap:

Check out this page for info about SafeStrap

h t t p://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/

Once your device is rooted, you can install SafeStrap

Again you can grab a copy from my Google drive:

h t t p s://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B0EWnwDplBc0fk5aeUhFSjlQMzZ2TXNYM0lsWVRDWklLOU1nYkUybzU1emJDV1IwS0tkazg&usp=drive_web&tid=0B0EWnwDplBc0fnBGbDg3ZmdZNC1ET1JZeVRWdE8tZ2p1Um41OThLeTZ2WWtRNE9TUXJpS2M

Installing a custom rom:

Once you have installed SafeStrap

You can download CM11 which I've tested from:

h t t p s://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B0EWnwDplBc0fnJJd0s1ZV85aEE1YkF0TjNzM28tcmxfOVkzZVJ0OUVhLThrR29sb19vVW8&usp=drive_web&tid=0B0EWnwDplBc0fnBGbDg3ZmdZNC1ET1JZeVRWdE8tZ2p1Um41OThLeTZ2WWtRNE9TUXJpS2M

- Copy the file to your SDcard0 (usually named MOT)

- Boot into SafeStrap, create a small partition (1000 MB for data is enough) in Slot1

- install CM 11 and see if the problem is fixed in CM11 and report back to me :)

Take care

For instance, I like to keep my general phone volume up, but then every time I get an email, I get this really loud "You've Got Mail." PhoneAlarm was able to change individual volumes, but now I use the HTC plug.

(Also, is there a way to make the mail notification chime in only for newly arrived messages, rather than constantly announcing old, but unread messages?)
