I want a way to capture 1440p video with LG G4 front camera.. Maybe with a mod for the cam or something like that

Also I want to use the screen as a flash for video capturing also .. It can be like the main camera app while taking photos.. Or maybe like the SnapChat camera while capturing video with flash by the frontal camera

Thank you

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capercaillie:
Guess it´s toast.

After updating to Lollipop my N7 became totally unusable, sluggish to say the least.

Used wugfresh nexus root toolkit to use another rom and also another kernel.

Everything went fine and found another rom I wanted to try.

After the toolkit pushed the rom and gapp my computer lost connection to the pad.

To make long story short I tried to use the toolkit to flash without adb connection, to original rom.

Everything went fine, downloaded correct rom extracted and started to flash.

When writing new bootloader program terminated and after that I cannot boot at all, just black screen whatever I do.

Guess it lost the bootloader completely.

Guess the N7 is beyond the possibility to save?

Damned, before Lollipop this was actually still a nice pad for Internetbrowsing and cast to Chromecast.

Thank you Google for releasing Lollipop to all Nexus 7 :mad:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capercaillie:
No response at all, completely dead screen.

When connecting to charger, no charging symbol.

Connecting to PC and try to wake it up it regognizes as APX unit but doesnt load any drivers to it.

I am pretty sure it´s dead for ever since I think bootloader is missing or corrupted.

ASUS or Google sure have software and hardware to quick and easy bring it to life again but as far as I seen there are no public fix for this.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Probably you would like to have a look at this thread
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capercaillie:
Yeah, looked at that thread and tried every possible solution there without success.

I am pretty sure it´s garbage, contacted both Google and ASUS about this.

Google refuse to look at it since I didn´t buy the unit from them.

ASUS say that warranty is over and tell me to contact Google.

Tried ASUS again and this time I got a RMA ticket but it may cost me more than the unit is worth.

They want me to send in the unit and after that they will give me a price for repair and freight.

If I don´t accept, the will charge me 100 Euro (about 100 USD) anyway to cover freight and failsearching.

Sigh...I guess ny next buy won´t be Google or ASUS!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uninen:
Bit OT, but if corporations would provide repair services even for older devices after warranty, for REASONABLE PRICE, they would get bunch of loyal customers that would keep coming back to buy their products, but how they are doing it usually just make people angry and sure not to buy their product ever again... 100 euros for shipping and just taking a look... just stupid. Personally i just bought used 32GB WIFI N7 this week, for 50 euros and 7,90 for shipping, thing came with "cover", charger + usb cord, original box and unit was said only to be have been used for total of less than 10 hours, which i can believe as it was totally like new, even had the s/n sticker and all...

Just rooted mine with http://kingroot.net

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LazMike:
I unlocked my bootliader on my Fierce XL 5045n, now what?

I just noticed a "allow BootLoader to be unlocked" option in developer options. Still can't get root though. But that should definitely help getting a custom recovery done. I still can't get root, tried numerous times, apk and with Windows. I'm stock lollipop 5.1.1 and have the box checked to allow bootloader to be unlocked in developer options but still nothing. Any ideas?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyttliv7:
LazMike, did you try Kingroot?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LazMike:
Yes, I did, thanks, didn't work at first but a newer version did the trick but some apps are denied permission from Kinguser even though I grant it and it shows they are granted, it also made my phone super laggy. Cant wait for a recovery and some custom ROMs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyttliv7:
That's weird? My phone got even snappier... But I deleted quite a bunch of apps though. My ram is showing like 1gb free most of the time. I'm using greenify, maybe that helps as well? But of course, it will be great when the real development starts for this phone ☺
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psycho_deth6:
What version did you use?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LazMike:
I think it's the newest. 4.5.2, a older version wouldn't work, I keep getting permission denied for certain apps, even though they are granted and shows they are as well. I also keep losing root and Kingo has to redo it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psycho_deth6:
Ok so here's some tips for people who wanna root:

>-Download Kingroot 4.6.0 and use that to root. It may take a few tries but it'll root

>-In general settings, turn off smart authorization so it won't constantly ask for permissions that you already granted

>-If you want your Fierce XL to be faster and less battery consuming, download Kernel Auditor from the Play Store. When it's installed, grant root permission for it, go to the menu, tap where it says "CPU", and where it says " CPU Governor", click on it. It should have an option that says "powersave". Click on that one and you're good to go

>REMINDER: You need to root first to do all of this
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyttliv7:
It's of course a matter of personal taste and needs, but I don't agree with the choice of Powersave Governor. I use 3C toolbox Pro to change OOM settings to a level were most services "dies" after a set time of non use, which gives a bit snappier experience and less pressure on battery. Of course you need to be careful with OOM (ram) to not "kill" to fast, loosing more multitasking power.

My battery got better and better, and now after a week of heavy use from 100% down to 5%, it lasts from 8 to 14 hours, depending on usage. Fairly good for a midrange phone.

And I do prefer the built in Cpu Governor (interactive). It's a good balance between snappiness and battery. Powersave on the other hand, will obviously save battery, but for sure also make the system slower. But as I said before, it's all up to the user and his needs and expectations.

"Performance Governor:

This locks the phone's CPU at maximum frequency. While this may sound like an ugly idea, there is growing evidence to suggest that running a phone at its maximum frequency at all times will allow a faster race-to-idle. Race-to-idle is the process by which a phone completes a given task, such as syncing email, and returns the CPU to the extremely efficient low-power state. This still requires extensive testing, and a kernel that properly implements a given CPU's C-states (low power states).

Powersave Governor:

The opposite of the Performance governor, the Powersave governor locks the CPU frequency at the lowest frequency set by the user.

Interactive Governor:

Much like the OnDemand governor, the Interactive governor dynamically scales CPU clockspeed in response to the workload placed on the CPU by the user. This is where the similarities end. Interactive is significantly more responsive than OnDemand, because it's faster at scaling to maximum frequency.

Unlike OnDemand, which you'll recall scales clockspeed in the context of a work queue, Interactive scales the clockspeed over the course of a timer set arbitrarily by the kernel developer. In other words, if an application demands a ramp to maximum clockspeed (by placing 100% load on the CPU), a user can execute another task before the governor starts reducing CPU frequency. This can eliminate the frequency bouncing discussed in the OnDemand section. Because of this timer, Interactive is also better prepared to utilize intermediate clockspeeds that fall between the minimum and maximum CPU frequencies. This is another pro-battery life benefit of Interactive.

However, because Interactive is permitted to spend more time at maximum frequency than OnDemand (for device performance reasons), the battery-saving benefits discussed above are effectively negated. Long story short, Interactive offers better performance than OnDemand (some say the best performance of any governor) and negligibly different battery life.

Interactive also makes the assumption that a user turning the screen on will shortly be followed by the user interacting with some application on their device. Because of this, screen on triggers a ramp to maximum clockspeed, followed by the timer behavior described above."

You're kinda right, powersave does kinda suck sometimes. I wish they had the "Conservative" governor. That works for me

So from some help from this guy :)

I've been looking into this phone adb drivers. Here's some info.

Now... Idk how old you have to be on forums like this. But I'm young ;)

Helping this phone unlock its potential is my main priority RN.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
LOL, this, LOL. I'm sorry but unless you can find a way to get to fastboot mode or something, there's nothing more than can be done for this device. <--I'm talking rubbish, this is XDA where impossible is possible. Without flash tools or someway to backup the device to possibly flash a ROM that has been modified with root, fastboot was the only other option of enabling before boot modifying. :eek:

I've never liked MetroPCS. Good luck to you guys. I haven't deserted you, it's just that there's no more I can help with right now. Maybe in the future.

This is why no one was able to unlock the bootloader even though they allowed it to be unlocked in developer options.

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------

You may have to do some deep digging to find those adb drivers for this device. Unless someone who's better at modifying than I am. That's about it from me for now.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vexx421:
Exactly what I said. I questioned them about their partnerships with developers to help resolve programming glitches between different apps and they just blew me off... I figured they used 9008 to flash everything.. this makes for a phone that was halfway abandoned by manufacturer's from the start. A hardware test if you will, for their new windows version.

This picture ☺
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
ohh, it's how you said image, I thought you meant recovery image. Fastboot isn't defined at all in recovery.fstab, so is isnt missing. The only reason this device cannot be booted to fastboot is because the manufacturer removed it. That is just messed up.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyttliv7:
Might be a silly question, but if there's no fastboot, how is the phone locked? Is it the OEM partition maybe?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgboii:
Mind be a dumb question but since I rooted this phone and removed bloatware and I factory reset will it be bricked or something?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
Hmm, not a silly question btw and well you can't really know if it's locked or not since you can't go into fastboot mode. In other words, this is something only the manufacturers will know. They know what they did.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyttliv7:
We've mentioned this earlier but I will say it again:

WHATEVER YOU CHANGE INSIDE SYSTEM IS WHAT YOU GET IF YOU FACTORY RESET!

So far I know that if you change layers (theme) folder or change any system file or set permissions wrong on any system-file, the phone will not start again ?

So be careful what you delete/change! If you're not sure, freeze instead. I mean, it's not like we're out of internal/system memory ☺
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyttliv7:
I might be wrong and maybe it doesn't really matter, but I believe there's some kind of boot when you hold volume down and attach the USB cable to the PC (black screen). Or is it just normal that you can use adb in this state (charging with phone turned off)... I don't think it's just normal charging mood, cause if you try to start the phone from here, it doesn't work by just pushing the power button, you need to hold it down for 10 seconds to get out of it.

Noob question, I know...

Just wondering if this approach to adb is the same as when the phone is on?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwentyFoursWorld:
Hm? Actually its not a noob thing. You might have found a secret adb. Or the only adb if anything.

i think this is the based tool for our phone. theres no doubt about it, even said. if we have the right rom, this will work.

now from my understanding . there is no bootloader. we dont need it. the bootloader we have is.

1. power down while usb plugged in to pc.

2. when you see (charging) simply hold the power and Volume AND up at the same time. wait for one BUZZ. (note that nothing will come up on phone. just plain black)

3. the tool that we are using. (hoping) that it will detect our phone. because it is in Qhusb_dload. (also device manager detects it as its port.

to answer the question from earlier we dont need to pull out battery :)

we need more people to try this out. or at least have our stock rom, somehow.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwentyFoursWorld:
yea it isnt a glitch state. i want to say its our bootloader....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
It could be the MetroPCS and TCL version of the bootloader, having removed fastboot mode where you would just enter commands on the command window (which makes flashing a whole lot easier). They probably wanted to make modifying this device hard as hell so no one would be able to change their custom OS on the device (not what android is about, lol). So they removed fastboot and that black screen seems like the only way to flash. But first you need a stock ROM and for that you need a backup. I wish you guys all the best.
