Hi, if you've got a TitaniumBackup backup from Lollipop, you can unpack the com.android.providers.settings-<date>-<time>.tar.gz file. Inside you will find databases/settings.db file which is an SQLite database. You can open it using the excellent SQLite Debugger app. The android_id entry is in the secure table.

Any problems let me know and I'll be happy to help in more detail.
[Nexus 6  General] swieder711:
I am trying to change my Android_id post Marshmallow installation. From my PC I get the following:

C:\Android\SDK>adb shell settings get secure android_id

487cc00260450910

C:\Android\SDK>adb shell settings put secure android_id <39b4b679204878ba>

The syntax of the command is incorrect.

Any idea why I cant' get the 2nd command to work?

EDIT: Removed the brackets < > and now it works!

Seems to work even in Marshmallow ;)

So, maybe it's time to TB to do the same :)
[Nexus 6  General] AhmadOkda:
can I use such process between two mobiles, i am waiting for my N6 to arrive to stop using my Note 1

can I copy the I'd of the Note 1 to the N6?
[Nexus 6  General] piit79:
According to the Titanium Backup changelog, it's been fixed in 7.3.0: http://www.titaniumtrack.com/changelog/titanium-backup-changelog :)
[Nexus 6  General] piit79:
Sure, that's no problem. I think I kept my Android ID across a number of devices.
[Nexus 6  General] Technical:
It just freezes when I try to change the ID...
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
That's because you are not supposed to change it and can have your Google account banned for it.
[Nexus 6  General] piit79:
He's not changing it, he's trying to restore it. It must be a bug in TiBk.

Any source for your FUD? :) I have been restoring my Android ID after every clean install for a few years now and never had a problem. Can't really see how Google could tell that you changed Android ID - Android ID is actually how they identify your device. So once you change it it's basically a "new" device to them.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
The only source I have is a buddy that had to make a new google account after his account was banned. The only thing he did was change the android ID. As to how. Its really simple. Each android id is linked to the IMEI. So when you change it and that links to the same IMEI it is simple to figure out.

Now I understand why OEM want to lock down their devices so even root doesnt work.
[Nexus 6  General] XXCoder:
Worked flawless! Thanks. :)
[Nexus 6  General] Ghisy:
I was also wondering if it can be harmful to restore an ID from a different device. I'm using LINE (a messaging app) and it relies on the Android ID so whenever I switch phones and restore my apps with Titanium Backup, the app won't start unless I use the previous device ID. Any cons restoring from a different phone? (it would be Nexus 6 to Nexus 6P in my case)

Thank you!

Edit: UGH! My Android ID is set to null (wrong click in the app) and it won't boot now (bootloop). Can I restore it from TWRP or fastboot? I tried the adb shell command (adb shell settings put secure android_ID <myid>) but I'm getting a "error: device '(null)' not found"

What do I do now? :(

Edit 2: YOU ARE MY SAVIOR, thank you!

Just fyi guys, Android Device ID changer (from XDA) will screw your device if you're on Marshmallow 6.0.1. It took me 3 hours to get everything working again.
[Nexus 6  General] Fuse8499:
Thanks for clearing this up. I always just click Restore but never understood what the hell it was actually doing, lol.
[Nexus 6  General] PutterPlace:
My Android ID got reset somehow after a hard reboot earlier this evening. I didn't even notice until TB told me it had changed, but it failed to restore it.

I found this thread after learning that other tools failed to change it as well. Long story short, I can't get it to work. I don't have access to a PC right now, so I'm using a terminal emulator. This is basically what's happening when I just try to read the current ID:

u0_a312@htc_m8:/ $ su
root@htc_m8:/ # settings get secure android_id
[1] + Stopped (signal) settings get secure android_id
root@htc_m8:/ #

The same thing happens with the method from the first post, whether in trying to read the Android ID, or write it.
[Nexus 6  General] vboyz103:
So I tried these commands (in recovery) and getting error about command not found. My interpretation of the benefits I draw is that I flash lots of rom, and I agreed with OP, every time it's a new setup. My thought is with this trick, I don't have to setup everything again given the data restore from Titanium? Is my understanding correct or I'm way off?
[Nexus 6  General] krasCGQ:
Some settings should be tweaked so TB could backup all apps with their data.

Commands on OP should be done on Windows/Linux PC with adb installed.
[Nexus 6  General] krasCGQ:
On Ubuntu-based Linux, you must install adb using this command:

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

And, delete command on OP doesn't work on my PC running Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon, throwing this error:

krascgq@VenYuu ~ $ adb shell content query --uri content://settings/secure --where "name=\'android_id\'"
Error while accessing provider:settings
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Supported SQL:

Instead, I use this command that working flawlessly:

adb shell content query --uri content://settings/secure --where "name='android_id'"

Worth to try on Ubuntu-based Linux.

there is a way to change the android_id without root?
[Nexus 6  General] ANDR01DN00B:
Can someone tell me what the practical use of baking up/changing your Android ID is?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] Lupus77:
Restoring apps from backup (eg titanium backup). Some apps check for Android id and will start over from scratch if Id is different. Mostly Banking apps and games and stuff.
[Nexus 6  General] marsian0:
Will this works for google play music ? There is a limit of 4 devices deauthorization per year and for flash-aholics is too low.
[Nexus 6  General] Woody:
Absolutely. I have used it on my personal N6 and N7 and both my sons' N7s when I factory reset them. Take a screenshot of it and upload to PC/cloud for later use.

The thing is if you factory reset, the very first thing that you should install from the market is terminal (if you don' t use adb on PC). Here are the commands. Then restore your AID and from there you can restore your other apks. People seem to forget that the AID is associated with purchases too. So they flash the ROM and Gaaps and then fire up each app to make sure they "work". Once that is done with apps like GMusic, that instantly registers the new AID given after the factory reset and BOOM!!! there's your new authorization.

Restoring your AID

before

you initialize your apps will prevent these redundant authorizations from starting and occurring.
[Nexus 6  General] marsian0:
Thanks, i will check next flash time.
[Nexus 6  General] zeebee:
Restoring the ID works, but it doesn't help with my Exchange-Account - the admin has to re-enable my "new" phone. Anyone got an idea how I could avoid that my admin has to approve every rom change?
[Nexus 6  General] Piereligio:
Hi everyone, if I already wiped phone and tried to restore with titanium (that doesn't see the ID), how can I recover the ID I had before wiping?
[Nexus 6  General] shaarky:
Just for info - works also on Nougat.
[Nexus 6  General] musashiken:
Unfortunately this no longer works for Android Oreo. You can still do the command prompt steps and even after query, you see that the ID is changed, but in reality the ID does not change in Oreo. If you check in Titanium Backup, the device ID will still remain.

After some checking, it appears that Android Oreo changes how it uses Android ID. So I guess, everytime I flash a new Android O rom in the future, I have to accept changes in device ID..
[Nexus 6  General] Hugwalk:
Same issue! I just thought thats my problem...

Waiting for developers to make it changable...

[Nexus 6  General] dn*:
Anyone know how to get around this?

I use Naver's LINE messaging app and it requires a consistent androidid between ROMs in order to run.

Is there any way I can trick this particular app into accepting a new androidid?
[Nexus 6  General] tepar:
The funny thing is, the android id displayed by titanium backup is not the same from the query through terminal emulator, anyone know why is it like that? TIA.
[Nexus 6  General] piit79:
As per https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/android-8.0-changes.html#privacy-all :

In other words, each app signed with a different signing key will see a different ANDROID_ID. Not sure if the signing keys are per developer or per app.
[Nexus 6  General] tepar:
Thanks for the info, no wonder my banking app has issue eventhough i restored my android_id prior flashing oreo.
[Nexus 6  General] miyabi417:
Is there anyone who knows how to restore android_id on Android 8.0
[Nexus 6  General] otonieru:

Any help on Oreo?
[Nexus 6  General] dknight178:
Guys, is there a way to just change the android device id to which an app (or app data) is linked to, not by changing android id of the phone itself?

Ex. I'm playing NBA 2k18 on rooted Note 3 but want to move my game data to S7 edge unrooted. Helium does not work for this case because my profile.usr file is linked to my Note 3's device id. Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] Trovies:
I just installed new rom on my device (not nexus 6). And i cannot restore some apps. There is a warning pop up on titanium backup about new id. I select keep old id but nothing happen.

Can someone explain this?

Where do i get info of new Android id and old android id?

I wanna keep my old android id
[Nexus 6  General] piit79:
Depends on the Android version. As explained in this thread before, if you're on Oreo, you cannot keep your android id after a clean install as every app sees a different one now (as opposed to a single global andorid_id on Android <= 7.1 which can be changed as explained in this thread).
[Nexus 6  General] Trovies:
Ok thank. Actually i just need one app to recognise the data after restoring Which is naver line.

Other apps are working fine after i restore
[Nexus 6  General] johnny0815:

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1boy1dr:
I received an OTA update for my 51ml and wondering if it's safe to update. I know I that I'll lose root (and TWRP?) but I should be able to get root and TWRP using the same procedure as I did to ger them in the first place right?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimchee:
Remove root and flash stock recovery before updating, director methods you can keep but for safety first so I remove root but won't update with twrp installed unless you remove the checks, that's always seemed more work for me than necessary, but there is a tutorial posts in this thread if you would like to use it.
[Nexus 5X General] _jordan_:
Been waiting for a one plus 2 invite for a long time. I was #150,XXX in line and figured id get an invite back in August.

Ordered my 32 gig white 5x a few days after launch... Today I got my op2 invite but I'm not going to cancel my order for the n5x.

Even though it has 2x more ram the user experience of the op2 will be nowhere close to that of the 5x.

It's never going to get timely updates from the OEM and if it had a hardware fault an RMA will be next to impossible (search Reddit for one plus one rmas).
[Nexus 5X General] one7dchevy:
ha, same here just got my invite today..going to order the 5x soon..
[Nexus 5X General] gwertheim:
I think I'm banned from their forums after I went on a tie raid tearing them to pieces after they released the specs and tore them apart on the nfc issue not to mention how what's her name was mad that they throttled the 810 instead of putting in the 808.

They turned what could of been a good phone into a pile of **** by using the 810 and not including nfc

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5X General] _jordan_:
I don't use nfc but I do have some serious concerns about the 810.

It seems like a problem chip and it will provide nothing more than buyers remorse to those who've bought 2015 flagships.
[Nexus 5X General] Tidbits:
I got my invite too... I would have a few months ago, but not now. I completely forgotten about my reservation until I got the email. Chucked it into the trash after I saw it.
[Nexus 5X General] joshuadjohnson22:
I ignored my invite too, sorry but I'm not playing your game for a "meh" phone. The whole thought of earning the right to pay full price of your phone is just stupid. Not to mention their shotty support and update history. The moto x pure and Nexus is a better deal and without the BS...
[Nexus 5X General] big fancy:
I looked at the oneplustwo too. Glad I didn't waste my time. The 810 scares me. And a company is going to "let me buy their phone"... I don't think so. I'm not on your terms as to when I buy your phone.
[Nexus 5X General] PaoloMix09:
Oh man, the hype was so real for this phone and it ended up being a disappointment for many... I loved the OPO, probably the best phone I've had in my opinion, had a lot of fun with it and had a big development community. I don't think the OP2 is going to be as big as the OPO was, there's a reason why everyone is replacing them after 2-4 weeks of use, just check swappa how there are over 100 OP2s being sold lol...
[Nexus 5X General] trsix:
Guess I goofed and entered the one plus forum by mistake.
[Nexus 5X General] [hfm]:
Yeah.. It got my op2 invite the day before Google was slated to announce the new nexii. I was like, well played OP, but I didn't want your phone anyway.
[Nexus 5X General] Tidbits:
One thing I really hate was the fact the invite is only for 24 hours. After waiting months for the invite you had to buy it then and there or wait for another invite. What if the person didn't have the finances at that time? (I did or else I wouldn't have gotten the 5X). It is like they are purposely making it hard to buy their product.
[Nexus 5X General] scgf:
I got an invite a couple of weeks ago and ignored it. I bought the OPO a while back and found it pretty poor, quite a few problems - screen discolouration at the bottom, rebooting etc. so invoked their 14 day return policy. After sales support is dire - had to get PayPal involved to get them to refund in the end. Meanwhile my Nexus 5 (Jan 2015 model) has been brilliant - was in two minds whether to even bother with the 5X, but in the end I ordered a 32GB in white, at a cost of £349 ($534) - a similar price to the 32GB Nexus 5 when it was available.
[Nexus 5X General] Spitfire:
Their invite system is terrible. 5x > OP2 anyway!
[Nexus 5X General] bklm1234:
Without NFC and fast charging, OP2 is not worth it. I tossed my invite. The only gripe I have for the 5X (I ordered one) is the 2 gig RAMand no OIS. Why Google? Charge me $30 more, man. My wife just got a T-Mobile LG G4 for $480. I'm liking it a lot. The camera is really really good. I'll see how good the 5X is. I might return it, get the G4 instead
[Nexus 5X General] _jordan_:
Had my nexus 5x for a few days and its awesome. Totally glad I trashed my one plus two invite.
[Nexus 5X General] scgf:
Me too. Got my Nexus 5x on Monday 19th Oct and I'm very pleased with it. The fingerprint sensor works every time, the camera is amazing and I love the look of it. So pleased I ignored my OP 2 invite!
[Nexus 5X General] ghettopops:
I actually own both. The +2 is an excellent phone in my opinion. If the development comes anywhere close to the +1 I will be content. The battery life for me makes it from 9am to 4 am with 27-35% left and 14 hrs of Bluetooth and 3.5 hrs of SoT.

That aside my X is a pretty nice phone to. Will have to agree that that FPS is dead on and quick af.
[Nexus 5X General] thegrants82:
Got two invites and deleted them both. I had a one plus 2 and my 5x smokes it in every way.
[Nexus 5X General] ryanbmw51:
I also have a +2 and its awesome. Might even give up my 5x since battery is not as good as my +2. Hate to do it since I've been waiting so long for this new nexus and now I have it but I gotta go with what works best for me and I'm afraid it may be the +2. Still gonna give the 5x a few weeks to come around. We'll see what happens.
[Nexus 5X General] Cheeze[iT]:
This is also a concern for me. Like the op2 for size and battery and feel, just wished it got updates. Love the 5x but afraid battery isn't as long as op2

If you use the update.zip it will check your current /system for modifications. (like root)

This will be flash-able through Heimdall without checking your system for root or anything causing it to fail and not install the update.

I also have the Odin flash-able file if anyone likes that method although I rather have more users use open software versus proprietary leaked possibly malware ridden software.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] pintek:
Anybody know where the wacom digitizer drivers are for our tablet within the Android source code and what changed between 4.4 and 5.0?

Use a spen with eraser and it worked completely in cm11 but when switched to cm12/12.1 the eraser no longer works nor does the tablet recognize movement on the screen with the eraser.

IT DOES WORK IF I ROLL BACK TO CM11 OR TW ROM with full functionality.

I have a question because i have seen a couple of kernels that enable the fast charge function.

Do those kernels enable the qualcom 9.0V, 1.67A quick charging? (I have one of that charger)

If they enable that function is not a risk? I think if the mainboard would support it (even if the cpu communicates with the carger saying, yes ok, toggle to 9V, maybe the charging ramps/batttery and the resistors in the charging way on the mainboard does not support that kind of voltage...

If there was only a flag to enable in the kernel why do OP did not enable it by themselves?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morby42:
I think proper fast charge is done by hardware not present in op2. Some kernels supposedly allow for "faster" charging that is still within safe limits, although id rather spend 30 mins longer charging than rish decreasung battery life slowly over 2 yrs ill have the op2

Hi all.

I'm using CM12.1 5.1.1 from 20150429. Grarak unofficial ROM.

Any Cm12.1 based ROM newer than this has bugs making my phone unusable.

-long time detecting sim card, and long time getting a cellular connection once sim detected

-SMS not sending or receiving

-no calls incoming

Which basically make it a mini tablet :(...

So far I've tried a pacman 5.0.3 ROM but found it sluggish.

Does anyone with this same model of phone have a workaround or a suggestion of a stable working 5.1 ROM?

Has anyone tried updating RUU with either success or failures to report?

I'm at a loss here and its a shame, this phone is good value for money and was working well up to this last cm12.1 build.

I really don't want to go back to 5.0, and I'm not sure any sense/stock ROM is better? Can you share positive experience on this matter?

Thanks to all devs who give their time to allow us to use and own our phones. I am grateful and in no way taking any of this for granted.

Without you we'd all have locked phones and no freedom.

And peace to all, above and beyond ALL the rest!

Which 6.0 rom with root right now is the most stable to use as daily? There are four to five roms now to choose from.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uodii:
There's 4-5 STOCK roms that people created flashable zips for added/removed some apps. These are largely just the factory image you get from google +/- some apps. They'll all give you basically the same experience.

I think there's 1 or 2 actually compiled from AOSP sources, but AFAIK there are no working flashable marshmallow gapps yet. So you'll have to download the apks for the apps you want from various sources if you want to go this route until gapps are developed.
