[Samsung Gear S2] ffarber:
Hi all-

There was a new version of both the Gear Manager and the Gear Plugin on the play store in the U.S. today. I am using a non-Samsung phone (Nexus 6) running a CM based Lollipop ROM (AICP) and I found that the Gear Plug In does not allow notifications to get to the watch or for the watch to control the music player.

I had been running version 15101601N (last portion of version number) and everything worked great. When I installed 15111841N from the Play Store the watch still showed up as connected but no notifications were getting to the watch. I restored my old version of the Plugin with Titanium and everything worked again. I tried this twice with the same result, even resetting the watch while the new plugin was installed (the watch would not even get through the setup process).

My theory is there is something with the new plugin that is not allowing the phone and watch to actually exchange data even though they are connected.

Note that the new version of the Gear Manager causes no problems as it is currently installed and working with the old Plugin.

If someone knows a work around, please let me know. If not, I hope this helps someone else sort their problems if they occur for them.

Cheers,

Fred
[Samsung Gear S2] sdmark:
Is notification access still checked on your phone? are you getting other notifications with the new plugin? I haven't updated mine (yet)

Edit - I installed the updates on mine with no issues. I'm receiving my notifications and music controls seem to be working fine
[Samsung Gear S2] ffarber:
Thanks for the reply. I just noticed that I did not see the Samsung Accessory Service which also had an update. I installed that and then the new Gear Plugin and it works fine.

Sorry for the post.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicktooley:
Hi all,

I had my G3 F400s rooted and attempted to flash twrp as the recovery. Upon rebooting, i was stuck in a boot loop where the LG logo shows for a fraction of a second before powering off and doing the same. I have no access to recovery, fastboot or download mode. The only time my computer recognizes a device having been plugged in is if the battery has been pulled out. I can access the factory reset menu, but none of the options do anything.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamzki2013:
First of all take off battery till 5 sec. and try download mode per kdz.

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------

and than root your G3, next twrp recovery etc.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicktooley:
Im unable to access download mode
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamzki2013:
Oh, I forget some. Before you begin, take off the SD card, connect to pc and copy twrp, rom and su, do a full wipe or hard reset.

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 PM ----------

Just in case.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicktooley:
So I should put those files on the SD card? How would I go about doing a full wipe or hard reset, if I'm unable to access anything on the phone itself ?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamzki2013:
So you've brick your G3. It's a soft brick I think. Or ... ?

It's done.

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ----------

You have break your G3, ? it's a fast boot with error isn't ? and so on download mode is impossible.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicktooley:
:( :( :( :(
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamzki2013:
Charge the batteries and try one last time. If this will not help, than only service may help ?? sorry that I can't help you mate ? head up and straight up! ???
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamzki2013:
You've probably "blitz" ? (flashed) the wrong version of twrp recovery. I think it crashed the kernel and by the way automatically the rest, that's it. But if it is so, than try to remain your G3 to life ???. Do as I say. Charge the battery full and try again with kdz.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morthawt:
Can someone help me find the download for a good working newest as is stable copy of TWRP that I can flash? Also, I would appreciate finding the stock recovery so I can always install it back again if I need to. With my S4 mini I found some guide that let me take the recovery I extracted from the stock firmware image and turn that recovery file into a version that odin can use, something about embedding hashes or something? Not sure. So if I can just download the stock recovery that would be helpful instead of having to flash the entire firmware.

Or is there a way to selectively only flash the recovery from the entire image?

[General Accessories] geetmadan1991:
Overview

There are many battery packs out there, which look like slabs and do the job as good as it can get. Then there are products, the bend the rules of design, look interesting and still manage to perform as good as their boring counter parts. In some cases, you might have to pay little extra for the amazing design. This is where I would put the Kmashi Body Shaped 5200 mAh Battery Pack. It is a $13 device with 5200 mAh battery, but it is not priced to compete with other 5000mAh battery packs. It is meant for those who are going to buy it for its design or it's uniqueness rather than the basic functionality of a battery pack.

Design

Evidently, the battery pack is shaped like a female human body. The design is very detailed for this scale and the build quality is top notch. The glossy white plastic is high quality, which does not creek or bend. Despite what it may seem, the battery pack fits in the hand like it was designed to. There are two red LEDs on the nipple, which do not serve any purpose. There are 4 blue LEDs at the bottom, which indicate the amount of juice left in the battery. These 4 LEDs are also accompanied by a full sized USB port and a micro USB port.

Specifications

Input: 5V-1.5A

Output: 5V-2A(MAX)

Capacity: 5200mAh

Size: 120x63x50mm

Net weight: 155g

Charging Time Needed: about 3 hours

Static Power Consumption: less than 50uA

Experience

During my personal experience with this product, I have not been able to carry it with me. The main reason for that is the fact it is not pocket friendly. This battery pack supports an output of up to 2amps, but there is no Quickcharge 2.0 support. Despite that, my devices(OnePlus One and Galaxy S6) charged really fast. The battery capacity at 5200mAh is not huge. When most devices today have batteries of 3000+mAh capacity, this battery pack is good for only one full charge on most devices. But if you are buying this product, you probably don't need just a battery pack. If you don't want this for its unique design, there are better products out there. The most striking part of this product has to be the 2 red LEDs for nipples. While using this battery pack in the dark, you will notice the red light leaks from other body parts. I don't know if that adds to the design or makes it more awkward. I guess I will leave that decision on you. At the bottom of this device, there are four LEDs which are used to indicate the amount of juice left in the product. The charging time is said to be around 5 hours on Amazon, whereas I could charge it from 0 to a 100 percent in about 3 hours. To sum it up, it is a great desk gadget. If you are an artist or a fashion designer, we'll this falls right in your alley. It would be perfect to be a show piece on your office desk.

Pros

Attractive Design

Seamless Build

Fast Charging Rate

Ergonomic design

Cons

Bright Red LEDs

No quick charge 2.0 support

Only one color available, white (racist? :D:p)

[XDA Assist] SassMaster 2.0:
I'm attempting to root my Nexus 9, following this guide here. I have followed the guide to the letter, but when I reach the "fastboot flash boot patched.img" command, the command prompt hangs for a few seconds, then throws an "Out of memory" error.

After searching for a while, all the related articles and threads are about completely different devices and different objectives altogether, which don't seem to relate to the Nexus 9 at all. I'm currently sat here on the bootloader menu of my Nexus, unable to actually flash the patch, and I don't understand why.

The Nexus is running Lollipop 5.0. The build number is LRX21R. I have installed ADB and Fastboot to C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot and then I moved both the patched.img and inject.img to that folder. Whenever I remove them from there, running the flash command will throw an error because they're not there, obviously, but when I add them into the file, it'll throw the out of memory error.

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, I've just downloaded SkyDragons GPE ROM v7.2 and already I think it's great, it seems really fast but I'll spend a couple more days testing it out.

My only question is that I have an Android L update notification, I'm sure I read in a development thread not to update but unfortunately I am not able to post in there yet. Does anyone know if I am able to do the update, if there is another updated ROM or if neither how do I turn the notification in the status bar off?

[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] ShinySide:
Root method for AOI1 / 5.1.1 for the SM-G530P THIS WILL TRIP KNOX. If you don't want to trip knox don't use this. If you do use it and whine you tripped knox because you didn't read ,we will all point and laugh at you.

Named it TrapKernel because well its not my normal HispAsian Kernel and I listened to a crap ton of Trap Music while doing it.

Thanks to [MENTION=1768899]g.lewarne[/MENTION] and his root method with his Unibase and Unikernel for the s6 , we finally have root after I ported it over to us. So be sure to thank him for his work.

What's included:

Auto installation of root and busy box

Kernel set to permissive

Otherwise stock

So here's the deal. Stupid simple. Make sure OEM unlock is checked in dev options if you have it.

1. Put Phone in Download mode

2. Open Odin

3. Connect Phone

4. Put Kernel in AP Slot

5.Flash it

6. Reboot and profit

Notes:

Download SuperSu from the Playstore. Its not included.

Change ro.securestorage=true to false in build.prop to make phone stop forgetting wifi passwords.

Delete the /system/app/SecurityLogAgent folder ot get rid of ratarded system modified warning

Download

Do NOT mirror this link. Period.

TrapKernel AOI1

[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] GuestK00100:
Friendly warning for people who are rooting the G530P after March 26th, there is a new software version rolling out labelled as APC4. It's still 5.1.1 but there could be compat. issues if updated to APC4. Unknown yet. Try at your own risk.

Thanks again to OP for making this phone rootable lol
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] PalmCentro:
You know? Or you're assuming?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] GuestK00100:
My friend tried it just now and she said it did root the device. So no compat issues. People can enjoy the APC4 bugfixes with the AOF8 / AOI1 root kernel.

Is this 'Permanent Root'? I rooted my G530P using the CF method and when using EFS Pro, it told me that the device didn't have permanent root. Can anyone tell me if CF is permanent or Temporary?

Excuse me for being a a beginner at this but, would I be able to remove the kernel and go back to the original and if so what is the process?

Nexus 6 stuck in boot animation

I've searched but was unable to find anything to help. I am a noob to rooting. The other day I rooted my Nexus 6 using chainfire. After I installed an app I wanted. In order for the app to work I had to reboot. I rebooted and now the phone will not fully reboot. It gets stuck in the floating dots. Anyway to fix this? I'm on Lollipop 5.1.1 T-Mobile. Thank you.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
what app did you install? thats a very important question..

you can always go into your recovery and wipe data, which will let you boot, but you would have to reset up your phone after that.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplemountain01:
I installed 'Inversion UI Layers' and 'Layers Manager'. Both from the Play Store. Is wipe data a adb/fastboot command?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
no, its an option in twrp recovery. and thats odd that the layers app caused that.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplemountain01:
Is there a way to do recovery without twrp?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yes. in your phones main settings, backup and reset, press the factory data reset(but you cant do it because you cant boot up). you can flash twrp for a one time use only, btw. instead of flashing it permanently. use fastbboot boot recovery recoveryname.img instead of fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img. after, it will disappear and go back to stock recovery.

Hey Everyone,

Simple question, is it worth rooting?

I have had many phones and the majority I've enjoyed rooting but with the Nexus 6p I'm kinda not too sure.

I want to know everyone's opinion on this.

like is having a custom kernel and rom worth losing Android Pay?

does having a custom kernel help with Battery life with Doze helping as well?

I'm tempted to root it and everything but would love to hear some feedback on this

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
If you root you do not lose Pay. You can always "temp Unroot" and only have root active when you need it.

If you install Xposed, you can have root AND have pay.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Honestly, only you can really answer these questions. It depends on what kind of applications you'd use root for. You haven't actually mentioned any situations where root is required, a custom kernel doesn't require root, it does require an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery though.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dratsablive:
I can confirm this. I temp unrooted my Nexus 6P and used it to pay for some things at Rite Aid.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josephc1991:
Use the systemless root and you can still use android pay, if you use xposed it'll break android pay.

Yeah I get it, my bank doesn't support Android Pay just yet so I have no use of it and the only play I've used it before was at McDonald's..

it's been a hard decision because I had an iPhone for a while so Im not up to date with what kernels are good and what roms are good.

One kernel I remember which I can't find here is Franco Kernel (I think that's how you spell it)

Different battery icons

Double tap to wake

Ability to change fonts

More control over your notification light

Backup data and apps

Change clock position

(I've probably missed a few)

Those seem pretty minor, but are the main reasons I ROOT.

I was planning on not rooting the nexus 6p. Actually, i really wanted to just use it as is and largely leave the tweaking alone. However, two things led me to root:

1) CF Lumen works so much better with root.

2) One handed mode has become a necessity for me. It's a shame Google has not built this into the core OS.
