I ordered a matte skin from dbrand and I'm gonna give a try once it arrives and let you all know how it goes!

I have a front leather skin and so far it's really great!!

Hello XDA members,

First of all, I want you to know my situation:

I had my phone bricked a few weeks after rooting it, so I searched until I found an unbricking method. Although I managed to unbrick my XT1072 Thea, I installed an XT1068 Titan firmware in it, and I wasnt able to change it back :(

I want to know if there is any way to go back to XT1072 Thea, once I have changed it to XT1068 Titan (I think this should be doable, because I was able to go from Thea to Titan, so there must be a way to go from Titan to Thea).

Thanks for your atention, and I hope you know how to help me :)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Phurkus:
I had Zanti on my last phone which was a droid razr m, and zanti worked flawlessly. I updated to an LG G4 afew months ago and now Zanti doesnt seem to work. Csploit doesnt work eaither.

1.) I was wondering if zant releases updates on the app because Ive had it for afew months already and doesnt work

2.) how can i contact developers to discuss the problems with my phone? in the contact us section of the app, I have to fill out info like if im a company, am I in the right section?

3.) Whats the comunnity section when signing into the app? is that for paid custumers? or can I join that?

4) I believe their is a paid version of zanti 'red" version, whats the diffrence of paid and non-paid?

5.) Are there any forums or discussion sites dedicated for Zanti? would really love to talk to some people for more questions.

thanks for the time, Devs please move this thread if its in the inappropriate section. I posted here due to hacking related app

[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
Hey everyone, this thread is both to let everyone know of a possible issue in Android M and to poll the community to see if this issue is isolated or if we will all be seeing it. First a bit of background on how the security policies work in Exchange ActiveSync as I understand it:

- When you assign an Exchange policy for ActiveSync devices you can basically tell it to require a password or not, encryption, etc. From there the OS of the device determines what that means. For example in Android if you are set to require a password it disables Pattern, Swipe and Face Unlock as choices for securing your phone. It assigns each a security level something like: Swipe = Not secure, Pattern = Weak security, Face Unlock = Medium Security (those are just examples.... I'm not saying thats what they are actually are) and the OS decides what level of security is acceptable when the password requirement is set. It also disables features like Smart Lock for trusted locations/bluetooth devices

As one of the admins of my own network I long ago set my policy to NOT require a password but I still do configure and use a PIN to secure my phone. The reason I set my device to not require a password was solely for the Smart Lock feature.

So the other day I flashed a 6.0 ROM on my Nexus 4 (no factory images available obviously). So I joined my phone to my Exchange server before I had setup any security and shockingly it said that it required I have a PIN. I double-checked my policy on the server and I am most definitely set to not require a password still. So now even with that policy set I am not able to use my phone without a PIN and am not able to use the Smart Lock feature and my fear is that this will also include not being able to unlock my phone with the fingerprint sensor (ouch!) :(

I'm sure many of you are thinking exactly what I did and that it was an issue with the ROM since it was a port. So with that in mind I setup my Exchange account on my freshly factory imaged Nexus 9 tablet and the exact same issue happens with it.

So either Google jacked up the security settings when connecting an Exchange account or there is a bug that causes the requirement of a PIN even if your policy is set not to.

Anyone else running Android 6.0 connected to an Exchange server that previously did not require a password and now does? One of the things I was most looking forward to was being able to secure my phone using my fingerprint instead of a PIN so this is a big bummer for me
[Nexus 6P General] rajendra82:
If I am not mistaken, requiring a PIN is the policy of android pay, which comes default with Marshmallow, and is also a device manager. This makes sense, because Google wouldn't want someone draining your bank account in addition to stealing your phone.
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
If I dont join my Exchange server I can set any type of security I want so its not related to that
[Nexus 6P General] midas69:
Wow, that's pretty upsetting. I too run my own Exchange Server. I always use PIN but I like the Smart Lock feature. And of course I had expected to use the fingerprint sensor. I wonder if rooting and using a combination of Tasker and the Secure Settings plug-in would allow you to get around it.

I currently have an HTC M8 and 6.0 is supposed to be out for it before the end of the month. I guess I'll load that and see how it works.
[Nexus 6P General] SymbioticGenius:
My Nexus 6 had been on M since the previews. I have a pin and I use smartlock with my moto 360. It's mostly unlocked and exchange works fine. My servers are set to require passwords and everyone at work has iphones with finger print and they work with that also.
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
What version of Exchange? We are running the latest 2013. My Smart Lock menu is completely greyed out and says "Disabled by administrator"
[Nexus 6P General] hollowlog:
I am using Exchange 2013 and have no issues with my Nexus 5x. I am using smartlock with my Huawei Watch, location, and facelock. Maybe I'm confused about the issue here.
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
Nope you are understanding. I flashed 6.0 then activated my phone on my Exchange server and now it says my Smart Lock is disabled by administrator despite my policy not even requiring a password.... very odd
[Nexus 6P General] dwertz:
I use mobimail through the OWA instead of going through the Exchange Server Active Sync
[Nexus 6P General] kumarshah:
I am using Nine as my exchange email client, that allows me to set a Pin on the email itself instead of needing it on the phone. Our company requires a PIN or a Password for mobile usage.
[Nexus 6P General] NCguy:
I'm using touchdown and a hosted exchange, no phone pin, nexus 5, Android 6.0 and no issues
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
I have used Nine before. It's not bad. Touchdown (the last time I used it) was complete garbage.

Anyone using the Gmail app that can still use smart lock in M?
[Nexus 6P General] brichardson1991:
I use touchdown so it's independent of my OS therefore i can set it only on the app.

I must admit it's got worse since symantec bought it..... but i paid for it when it was cheap and it still works so may as well make use of it.
[Nexus 6P General] 640k:
can you post the exchange server-side security settings here? i wouldn't be surprised if google did something to "up" the security of their exchange apk. also - testing with a third party app would be a valid test as well. remove all exchange accounts from your device, confirm your basic security is re-enabled and then try an app (like nine). if the app requires security configuration, it's server-based.
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
Attached
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
Just an update to this....

I went ahead and removed my Exchange account and immediately was able to access those other features that were previously greyed out. I then installed Nine and setup my account there and it allows me to use it without any security at all. Very odd

EDIT: Wow... Nine has improved! I might go this route anyway. I also like having my work account in a separate app as there has been a few times when I've sent a work email from my gmail account :p
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
Ok and not only does Nine have a Dark theme but it has a "True Black" option which I'm guessing was made specifically for AMOLED.... too good not to use!
[Nexus 6P General] AustinTech:
I use Nine as well, love it.

My company requires a pin or password, but I'm also able to use a pattern, which is much better than a pin or password for ease of use. Your fingerprint scanner on the new Nexus will be an option in addition to pin or password. No worries, it will all work.
[Nexus 6P General] 640k:
also - you can change the notification icon from their little circle thingy to something that actually looks like a mail icon.
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
Very nice! It also does per folder notification which is just about the only reason I rooted my phone previously....
[Nexus 6P General] Haul:
Does this same problem occur if you try using the Outlook app instead of Google's e-mail client? Might help narrow the problem down.
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
I installed and am using Nine right now and all works fine. I dont need a password at all with it. Just very odd that this also happens on my Nexus 9 tablet which is completely stock.
[Nexus 6P General] NCguy:
Touchdown was my first android app on my Nexus one. It's as reliable as it gets
[Nexus 6P General] [hfm]:
I agree, I used to use it on my G1 if I recall correctly.
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
I havent used Touchdown in forever but when I did it was possibly the ugliest app ever made. Reliable maybe... but it also forced you to use their contacts and calendar app and was a massive battery hog
[Nexus 6P General] TylerMitton:
Hey, just posting to say that I'm having the same issue... where after upgrading to marshmallow i cannot use smart lock... and I'm connected to exchange and nothing changed on exchange. I'll have to check out Nine, thanks for your comments on it.
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
Yeah very odd.... I'm wondering if it has to do with the Service Pack/CU level of the exchange server. Definitely check out Nine. I honestly dont think I'll be going back
[Nexus 6P General] cornelious2:
Ya we use office365 and I had the same issue since dev preview 2
[Nexus 6P General] muffnman:
As others have mentioned, using Touchdown can subvert the group policy security push and allow alternative device locking measures.

[Nexus 6P General] kirdroid:
Use Nine for exchange which is the best exchange app, so much better than the Microsoft outlook app. Integrates with device calendar, set pin at app level, nice UI, sync options between peak/push etc. You won't go wrong with it.
[Nexus 6P General] 640k:
nine also has sync for tasks, which most exchange apps out there don't do. however, i don't like nine's messaging protocol. tasks can get confusing from calendar appointments.
[Nexus 6P General] Dubhead:
I have a Nexus 6P and have been using Touchdown for some time for access to Exchange email account that forces PIN usage on phone. Touchdown kept me from worrying about that security policy enforcement on my whole phone (I use the fingerprint reader to lock/unlock) and now I have just downloaded Nine as I have read and now experienced its much better UX. I am a bit bummed though as I use Sunrise for my calendar app and trying to select calendar from Nine now indicates that entire device needs to be protected via PIN. I really don't want to use PIN at all and prefer fingerprint, is there some way to use Nine and Sunrise and fingerprint reader? I may be missing something on how to set this up correctly as others here seem to indicate it is all good and works together and not requiring PIN on whole device.
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
Hmmm I use nine in almost that exact situation (I use a different calendar widget). Is your nine set to "Application" for security level?

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mskip:
I have a no encyption patched stock kernel included in the Toolkit with automation to make it easier for the average user.

You can certainly repack the system image to include root but if you are publishing it you will also need to include chainfires patched kernel (the one you linked to) to flash with the modified system image or the system will go in to a bootloop (requirement of Android 6 root at the moment. I may look at it later but I have no Nexus 5X to test anything on.

I have published the new Toolkit with the Nexus 5X added and made an xda thread *HERE*.

One thing, does the Nexus 5X suffer from the same problem as other Nexus devices, where the USB mode switches back from PTP mode (for adb commands) back to Charging only on EVERY reboot. Its a pain in the ass and always switches back even if the mode is set in developer options.

Root & TWRP Recovery For The Life One XL

Those of you who have the Life One XL who have been looking to root it and install TWRP custom recovery now have an automated method to achieve root and install TWRP on this phone.

I have put together an auto-install script that will root your Life One XL and flash TWRP recovery onto it in Linux.

Requirements:

You must have both the ADB and FASTBOOT utilities on your computer and in your path.

You must have enabled USB DEBUGGING on your Life One XL phone.

Instructions:

Download this file --> Life One XL Auto-Root & TWRP Install For Linux

Open a terminal window on your Linux computer;

cd to the directory where you extracted the zip file;

Connect your Life One XL to your computer;

Type the command "./root-life-one-xl.sh" <ENTER> in the terminal window;

Sit back and follow the prompts.

Once you are finished, you will have a rooted Life One XL with the TWRP custom recovery installed on it. There are a few custom ROM's available for it -- none of which I have tried personally -- but you will be ready to install them if you choose. You can check the "Official Thread" for more information.

*** I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED PHONES. THE USE OF THIS FILE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. ***
