[Nexus 6P General] denk:
With temporarily booting into a custom recovery you don't install anything at all on your device. You just temporarily boot the device into a custom recovery in order to do whatever you need to do and that can include removing the nav bar as you say. After you are done with your mods and reboot, it leaves nothing on your device you are still stock with stock recovery.

I do this all the time to my Nexus 5 when i want to keep it stock so that OTA updates will work without a hitch as they do not work with custom recovery installed and this method done once is far shorter then un-rooting and reloading the stock recovery or whatever you do to get your device back to a stock-like state.

I'm not sure what banking apps you use but both banks that i use have not even got their As into Gs to get their apps updated for 6.0 so they both fail on stock Nexus 5 with NO DPI mods, so i guess it is a trial and error.

I think you do need bootloader unlocked for temp booting custom recovery... But you should have it unlocked anyway - otherwise what's the point of having a Nexus, right? ;)

.
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
OK think I need to do a bit of reading about unlocking BL and doing these Mods,haven't done any of this stuff since my desire HD days .If I alter build prop to remove the bottom nav bar ,does it revert back after reebooting
[Nexus 6P General] denk:
No it does not revert back it stays there permanently. You are doing the mods while you are in recovery mode.
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
so first thing i need to do is unlock the bootloader, then go from there
[Nexus 6P General] denk:
Well you can try booting into the custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader first and see if it works...

https://dl.twrp.me/angler/twrp-2.8.7.0-angler.img

Boot your phone into fastboot

when run

fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-angler.img

and see what happens... If it doesnt work - then you need to unlock the bootloader and try again. Remember that unlocking the bootloader wipes all your data on the phone.
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
OK all set to unlock bootloader ,once unlocked how do you accessbuild.prop
[Nexus 6P General] Zerqz:
If you root it and just use xposed you can make it look different... That's what I'm planning on doing once mine arrives in the mail.
[Nexus 6P General] bills742:
You can use root explorer or any file explorer app that allows the system folder to be accessed. Or you can download Build Prop Editor from the play store.
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
Xposed is working on marshmallow? Thought it was still a work in progress.

Done this first thing i got the phone and use LMT still no isues . I prefer s straight LMT instead of a pie but o well . my next thing is multi windows "userdebug" mod I'll wait to see if some has does this as well .
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
So did you install lmt first then edit build prop to remove black bar
[Nexus 6P General] wirelezzz:
Yes or u have no navigation keys lol
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
Thanks can't find LMT on play store ,is it under another name.Also don't want to root my device so what's the best way to find and alter build .prop
[Nexus 6P General] wirelezzz:
LMT is available in xda not in playbstore . and per build prop you need root and root explorer ? File manager its in system folder
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
Been told j can alter build prop and remove bottom black bar with out root ?
[Nexus 6P General] Astronomyisfun:
Search the play store for GMD Full Screen Immersive Mode.

Give that a bang
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
I've tried GMD full screen immersive works great but messed up the keyboard a bit and introduced a big to YouTube other wise I would have stuck with that ..... So what here's what I'm looking for if possible.

I can't root due to certain apps needed

I use Google now on tap so altering build prop and using LMT or PIE does not work with that .

The stock controls are fine for me just need them to disappear in apps etc but swipe uo brings them back.

I can and will u lock bootloader if I have too

And will alter build prop to make them immersive if possible ,but would like to keep them rather than using LMT or PIE and loading GN on tap
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
Just to add the above must be possible because I use dolphin browser in full screen mode and the control bars is immersed until I swip uo and it appears again and no keyboard issues ,I'm hoping one either GMD or one of the clever devs can fix this as the black control bar is the only downside.of this device for me
[Nexus 6P General] Zerqz:
By the time my 6P gets here it'll probably be out. At least in a beta/experimental or something.
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
Still trying to resolve the removing the black bar controls without rooting

GMD immersive works great but messes up the keyboard

LMT pie controls work great but the layers app to remove black bar and have Google now on tap working require root .

Edit the build prop seems only option

but you lose Google now on tap

How have others done it ?
[Nexus 6P General] surviveland:
Hi, although Dolphin do not have such kind of feature now, why not send your request to support@Dolphin.com? Maybe next version released will have it fixed.
[Nexus 6P General] mrnovanova:
Anyone know the name of that feature that turns your navbar the same colour as the top bar, so that in g+ your nav bar is red, fb blue, xda orange and so on so forth?
[Nexus 6P General] dwang:
There's a xposed module called "flat style colored bars" that will do what you want.
[Nexus 6P General] mrnovanova:
I was looking for the name of that feature specifically but thank you kindly. ?
[Nexus 6P General] gg22:
I'm using "All In One Gestures" from the play store.

No root, hides navigation bar with swipe gestures, keyboard works even in full screen mode.

As a bonus you can define gestures to take screen shots, turn off screen, etc.
[Nexus 5X General] jbrinkley:
It took me a while to locate where you could view which apps and data are backed up on the 5x inside G drive from the new auto back up.

If you open drive and swipe right, click settings> manage back ups. You will see the apps plus data that are backed up.

This is a quick cheat to see which apps have been updated for 6.0 There's nothing to manipulate in this menu, but at least you can see whats saved, and what would be restored. Apps are limited to 25MB each but it doesn't count against your G driver limit. (from the SDK)

Forgive me for stating the obvious, I just thought it was cool.
[Nexus 5X General] ITGuy11:
Thanks for pointing this out. It is sad that currently only 2 non Google apps on my phone are using this feature.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkmossop:
Ok so I just rooted my phone and uninstalled the android music player. I then flashed an older version of the stock android music player which I really like, but the app isn't showing up on my phone. I did the same thing on my old S2 and it worked fine, so I'm not sure what's up.

I've attached the music player zip if that helps. Maybe it's incompatible with an S5?

Also, does anyone know where to get other older versions of the stock android music player?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Did you try to install the music player as a system app......

That is probably the only method that will work......

If you are rooted, you need a root enabled file explorer like ES file explorer or Root Explorer.

You copy your music player app and paste it into.....

system>>app (you have to have RW permissions enabled in the file explorer app)

Then you change the permissions for the music player to rw- r-- r-- and reboot.....

It *should* be 'job done'.......

http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkmossop:
Hi... thanks for your help. I got Root Explorer and copied the zip file into the app folder, then flashed the zip again, but it didn't work. Am I supposed to transfer the zip file or the apk file to that folder?

Also, in the application manager there's something called "multimedia UI service layer", which has the same icon as the stock music player. Should I uninstall this too? Would I need to remove any trace of the stock player to get this one to work?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
No....this app cannot be installed in the usual manner (with a package installer) it has to be unzipped to its apk format, then copied/pasted into that folder and it's permissions changed (as described above).....

As for any other apps that *look* like the app you are trying to install (Unless they are called exactly the same thing) it's probably best to leave them alone.

Just remember, you *must* reboot the device in order for the copy/paste/permission change to take effect.....

Edit.....just re read your original post.....

Not sure if it'll work anyway......

Most system apps are framework dependent.....

Meaning that if your preferred music player was built for an older version of Android, it *may not* work if installed into a newer version.....

http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkmossop:
I put the apk file in the app folder and it's showing up in my phone now! Problem is, whenever I start it I get the message "unfortunately music player has stopped". I think I may have messed something up when I uninstalled the stock player because I re-flashed it as well before and got the same message. I think maybe I'll have to do a factory reset, which is ok cause I just got the phone.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
I doubt factory resetting will help much in this case.....If you've changed stuff in the system folder, it won't delete what you did and reset things, it'll just perform the reset on what is currently installed....

What you changed will still be there.

Did you change the permissions of the app correctly?

Did you reboot afterwards?

http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkmossop:
Uh oh that sucks. I have the read and write permissions checked, and execute is unchecked. I tried installing it from the app folder and it gives me the message "app not installed".
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
No fella......you don't install the app at all....

You.....

1) copy/paste the app into the [system>>app] folder.

2) long press on the app until a dialog box opens.

3) select permissions from that dialog box.

4) change app permissions to......

rw- r-- r--

5) Reboot the device.

Job done

---------- Post added at 01:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 AM ----------

This is what you should see when you select permissions.......

and you need to set the permission 'check' marks to the same configuration as in the picture.

http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkmossop:
Yes that's what I did initially, and those are the permissions I have. I thought that after it didn't work that trying to install it might, but it didn't. I think uninstalling the stock player screwed something up.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Or it could simply be that the version of music player is incompatible with the version of Android you have.....

Where to go from here?......

3 options......

1) download your firmware, extract the music player and install it like you've been trying to do with your preferred version....

2) flash the entire firmware again.

3) try a 3rd party music player

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cluey:
Might have more luck if you weren't shouting at us all. :p

I suggest you Google QHSUSB_BULK and see what you can come up with.

I think one of two things will happen, you'll buy a new phone and never try flashing custom things again or you'll learn lots.

If it's option two make sure you document what you do to help others who might run into this problem. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonicboom81:
I have a N9005 Note 3, which came from Australia, and has an AU Vodafone baseband. I'm using it in the UK. It has no problems with reception, but I'm wondering if changing my baseband might solve any of these problems I'm having...

I've rooted (towelroot) the phone and every 5.0 and 5.1 roms I install have the following problem. Netflix will not load movies, BBC iPlayer's video is out of sync with audio, and the camera is unable to record video ) and often crashes the phone (regardless if I install Note 3 camera or Note 4/S6 cameras when using a rom that's ported from those devices). Putting back a 4.4.2 custom firmware solves all these problems.

I know that Lollipop has not been released for this Australia handset, and I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

If after a jtag the phone still isn't working, then it is completely dead. Time for a new phone, because you're not reviving this one.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Jtag is the last resort. If jtag can't revive the device, it's unlikely anything will. You either need to get a new phone, or purchase a phone with a broken screen and swap motherboards. This phone is dead.

I installed Lollipop rom after I upgraded to new bootstack. I decided to go back to KitKat, loaded kitkat bootstack and used twrp to restore the backup, but I get the following errors: Error: "Boot certification verify" and "Secure booting Error!"

I have noticed that the bootstack for kitkat comes with tarp 2.8.something. I had 2.7.1 if my memory serves me right. Could that be a culprit? I don't want to go back and reinstall everything. I had T-mobile rooted stock KK rom when I created backup and then I loaded rooted Tmobile LP rom if this helps. Any information on how to fix this would be helpful.

[Sony Xperia E1] stillchimp:
Hi,

A friend of mine has an E1 D2004, he says he can't install any apps because it says it's out of space, so I'm researching to see if I can help him out with it. I have some experience of installing recovery/rooting/custom roms on my nexus devices, but no knowledge of Xperias.

I've read through many of the posts here for improving the performance of this phone, and I'm thinking to first try debloating it as in this post:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-e1/development/flashable-debloater-xperia-e1-t3098724

I've seen another method to disable services, I think using the script is a bit more complete though?

I'm also very intrigued to try installing this custom ROM, (if my friend is willing to try it). The only question I have there is that it lists for D2005... I think D2004 is basically the same phone, can anyone please confirm this ROM is good for the D2004 as well?:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-e1/development/illuminated-rom-xperia-e1-d2005-kk-lb-ub-t3230441

And I have a couple of basic questions:

1) how to make a backup before changing anything? (Is it necessary to install philz recovery before a backup can be made)

2) how to restore if anything goes wrong?

3) I've seen firmware updates mentioned in various places, where do these come from?

thanks for any help
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
1. You can install Philz Recovery If your friend's phone has an unlocked bootloader (try to unlock it first)

2.If anything goes wrong you can always use the recovery, or install a new firmware (XperiFirm)

3. Look above.

First off I want to thank the people on XDA including [MENTION=6680544]bibikalka[/MENTION] , [MENTION=6058831]DoLooper[/MENTION] , and [MENTION=1219335]jmz[/MENTION] who made everything work. I'm a visual & hands-on learner so I like making these types of tutorials and I hope others who favor more visual tutorials will find them useful as well.

This video tutorial explains how you can get root, GAPPS, and the Play Store on Fire OS 5.0. This video is one of the more andvanced ones and contains many steps. I take no responsibility if something happens to your device. Try to follow the video as close as you can and you sould be fine.
