If anyone could help me with this, it would be much appreciated.

I have a Moto X 2014 on Verizon that is unrooted and has a blocked bootloader, with Android 5.1 installed. Is there any way that I would be able to downgrade Android to 5.0 or even 4.4.4? As far as I can tell Verizon makes it impossible to unlock the bootloader so any non-bootloader methods would be preferable.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeHockey:
So I also have stock/non-rooted MX14 from verizon. Wifi and Bluetooth have had problems since upgrading to Lollipop. You would think that VZW could downgrade me to get back to a stable release? I realize they don't want to but again the phone has problems due to their last upgrades...I guess their solution would be for me to buy a new phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scootley:
If I get a new phone and want to make Chrome run exactly as I left it on my old phone, cloning/restoring the set of open tabs seems to be complicated.

Note: Let's assume Chrome version 46 and Android 6 (Marshmallow) to be somewhat modern with respect to versions in this Q&A

Here's why:

I don't want to do a full Titanium Backup restore of all Chrome data because I think this is unsafe from some past experience. Chrome's data contains some elements that are specific to the instance of chrome on a given device that I think are primarily used to control synchronization and perhaps also cloud printing.

You can see here that the files in /data/data/com.android.chrome/app_tabs seems to be critical, especially ....../app_tabs/0/tab_state

But restoring the app_tabs folder alone does not seem to work. The browser does not become aware of the tabs

Sadly, there is no in-app way to restore tabs in bulk from one Chrome instance on device A to another chrome instance on device B on Android. You can tap on the clock icon (or select "recent tabs" from the menu) to see tabs open on other devices, but you cannot restore a set of them in bulk as you can on Chrome for the desktop. In addition, this approach would be further hindered by this bug.

Any ideas?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scootley:
I was able to get this to work on Android 7.1.2 using Chrome 58.

Here are the steps I used (as root):

1) Use Titanium Backup to "Freeze" Chrome so that it cannot interfere with what you are about to do while things are in progress

2) Copy over the contents of /data/data/com.android.chrome/app_tabs/0/ to your new device (this is the state of all tabs)

3) Correct the file permissions for everything in this folder to "-rw-------" (that's "u=rw,g=,o=" using chmod)

4) Correct owner/group for everything in this folder to be the correct user for the Chrome app on this specific device by running "chown XXX.XXX *" where XXX is that user

5) Correct the selinux context for everything in this folder using "chcon" by running "chcon YYY *" where YYY is that context. You can see this by running "ls -lZ" on other files owned by Chrome

6) Repeat the steps above for everything in /data/data/com.android.chrome/app_textures/ so that you also restore the tab thumbnail images

7) Unfreeze chrome

I am using a generic charger with my m3100. When it is plugged into electricity my phone refuses to charge. A soft reset does not resolve this problem. When my phone is synced to computer via a USB cable the phone decides that it feels hungry and gobbles up electricity and charges itself, as if to taunt me. Its Bluetooth light flashes as if to try to intice me into doing something. I feel like Basil Fawlty and want to pick up a branch and hit my phone with it to teach it a lesson. I have not got mad..i am just frustrated with this as a major gripe with WM6 using a GENERIC charger designed for c500 but used to charge phone quite happily in WM5. The Car charger also generic also does not work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] JoeVulture:
You might want to read this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=277742&page=1

In order to accept a charge, the phone either has to sense data, or two pins need to be shorted together. It is possible that the WM5 ROM removed this requirement, whereas the WM6 ROMs seem to enforce it.

In my case, I had to modify the cable that came with my Garmin Mobile 20 in order to get it to charge the phone, even though it was supplying enough power. It was the stupid data/pin short check.

In fact, if you use a multimeter to beep the pins of the Cingular car charger (which charges flawlessly), then you'll find that those pins are shorted, it's at the cigarette lighter end.

-- Joe
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] liquidsilver:
This condition exists on both WM5 and WM6. There are charging cables that meet this standard (pins 4-5 shorted together on the miniusb side). Unfortunately most chargers don't comply.

Hey Guys !!

Apple music app for android has been released this week and i've installed this to try.

i really like this app but the only think i find really annoying is the song downloaded to listen offline can't be downloaded on the SDcard.

So there's how to change it.

First you need to be rooted.

you need ES files explorer and Terminal emulator app

with ES explorer go to /data/data/com.apple.android.music

Cut the folder named "no_backup"

and past it anywhere on you'r SDcard. I've choose "/storage/extSdCard/Android/"

Now open Terminal emulator.

Type "Su" to get Root acces.

And type this command "ln -sf /storage/extSdCard/Android/no_backup /data/data/com.apple.android.music/no_backup"

Now you can open apple music app and start downloading your song.

Thanks and sorry for my bad english!
[Android General] loveallmyandroiddevices:
Hello,

I've tried this with my HTC Desire 510 on Android 4.4.3 using ES Task Explorer to transfer over the files and then use a Terminal Emulator to create the symbolic link as to the instructions, but unfortunantely this did not work. The Apple Music app crashes everytime I open the app, and then once I've rebooted my phone the app disappeared from my Applications. If I deleted the link and transfer the files back to the original location and reboot, everything goes back to normal. :(

The external sd card is running FAT32 file system. I'm assuming that this might be the cause. What filesystem are you using [MENTION=4918701]Strategikqc[/MENTION] for your card?
[Android General] Strategikqc:
Ho im sorry to ear thats not work for everyone. My SdCard is running exfat.

Have you tried to only transfert the folder contain the song ? Try to put the folder called no_backup on you SD card then create the symlink for that folder. You can verify if the symlink path is fine witch ES explorer.

Let me know if that work!

[Android General] Vassota:
Good day! I tried to create a symlink like you adviced but something failed and everything went wrong. Apple Music crushed right after the startup and it's icon disappeared after the reboot. And now I can't even install Apple Music at all. Please, help. How can I delete this symlink?
[Android General] Strategikqc:
You can delete symlink with es explorer and replace back your folder to get your apple music work again or you can just delete apple music from setting > appication and reinstall back.

You can try to create a symlink for the folder contain the song (no_backup)

Apple music to SD card problems

Hi and thank you for your help so far. However, I have followed your commands through terminal emulator and it keeps saying "not found"...

Also now since i have cut and pasted the no_backup folder from internal to external memory, none of my downloaded songs will play in offline mode. (Possibly not recognising file locations?)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you,

This application will allow you to adjust your displays sharpness value on the fly. Default is set at 4 but has an adjustment value of 0 to 99. Choose your amount of sharpness with this app.

Vsharp is built on Tasker for the device and on the device. Tasker is not needed to run this application. This app is currently in BETA. More features and adjustments will be added in the future. If you have an issue let me know.

CURRENT ISSUES.

Don't open the app after a reboot till it notifies you it's value is restored after a reboot. Again this is BETA and is work being done on getting it resolved.

REQUIREMENTS!

Must be rooted.

Must have busybox.

Must have SeLinux set to permissive.

[LG V10 Android Development] razz1:
Actually my biggest complaint about the display isn't actually the stock sharpness setting of 4, but the gamma. The gamma on my V10 is off a considerable amount and I'm losing detail in dark scenes. It's definitely not around the more standard gamma value of 2.2

I hoping to tune that up in the future also with this app.

[LG V10 Android Development] baySF:
A little confused on what exactly this does? Is this to fix that grainy look when taking pics or something?
[LG V10 Android Development] razz1:
It's just like setting the sharpness on your tv. It should not have any effect on taking a picture. If you see some grain effect in a pic its completely unrelated to this mod. What your experiencing is noise in a dark scene which is typical of a small, high pixel count camera sensor.

When taking a picture, try to use the lowest ISO setting possible. In a dark scene the ISO will need to be greater for a properly exposed pic. This is when you will experience the most noise.
[LG V10 Android Development] baySF:
okay thanks for clearing this up. Yeah I can definitely see the noise when using snapchat and it's annoying. Thought this mod was related to the noise and was gonna try it out. Thanks though!

[LG V10 Android Development] speedingcheetah:
SWEET! Thanks for this! I was really bummed that the screen on the amazing V10 was not as sharp as my G3. Now its just as sharp. (doesn't seem to affect the second screen, but don't care)

I set it to value 30...anything more and it doesn't seem to do anything. Also, setting to max, 99, upon reboot is goes back to 0.

EDIT: So.....maybe an issue. The sharpening effect dies when i launch some apps, like Gallery. I then go back into the VSharp app and its reads the value and its back to 4..like it was overridden by the system.

Edit: Removed Gallery, Switched to Google Photos app. Doesn't instant kill sharp effect when that app is used.
[LG V10 Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Sharpness not sticking after screen off.

I definitely am noticing that any sharpness value is not sticking/being re-applied when the screen shuts off/locked or goes to sleep.

I go back into the app, and it reads the current value and it says what i set it to (30), but when i toggle it up or down, I can instantly see the example bars sharpen up, which proves it was off then was re-applied when I toggled the value.

I tried setting the app to ignore battery optimizations in system settings, thinking maybe the OS is killing the app in the background, but that has no effect. I also tried disabling the lock screen entirely, no change.

Any ideas? I do have other things like Xposed, App settings (530 dpi set on certain apps), Gravity Box, and G4 TweakBox installed....but none of them have any display mods enabled.

Any way to make a widget or something i can one-press to toggle the value and re-apply....vs having to use the app every time I want the screen sharp after it goes off.

Edit: Is this app supposed to may a dozen and more "Subsystem/img_tune/" directories in /sys/class/panel/...all inside of each other.

Is there a way to just change the sharpness file and lock it to read only o that it can be overridden...I have tried setting permissions using root explorer to read only...but it still get overwritten at reboot..and eventually by system.
