I thought all rom files went into the \Windows directory and that only via initfiles.dat (I think that's the file) would files be copied elsewhere (ie, using up double the space).

Please, correct me if I am wrong. Also, how do you put ROM files in a location other than \Windows?

I've re-heated a couple ROMS with the update HTCHome plugin that uses a server other than htc.accuweather.com because TMob has problems with it. It orginally pointed to \HTCHome for some of the files so I had to change the HTCHome.dll to use \Windows instead otherwise I would need to copy those needed files to \HTCHome which was a waste of space. I don't notice any slowness with it running from \Windows though. YMMV.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mirekluza:
Using other location then Windows is good when adding the plugin later (I mean when it is not part of the original ROM).

HTC Home plugin has many files and when these are added to Windows it slows down significantly booting times/showing the content of Windows directory.

I think that if the plugin is part of the ROM there is not the speed problem. I had it as part of a Whiterat's ROM and it was ok.

But installing HTC Home which puts its files to Windows to TNT 4.0 rom (which does not have it) lead to a lot of problems...

The above mentioned version is ok - I installed it on TNT 4.0 without having any problems.

[Verizon LG G4] hobbit101:
Hello all,

I am new to the forum and need some help. Since FoxFi is no longer working on VZ phones as of yesterday I am stuck without a HotSpot on my phone. I do have unlimited data, and I never abused it to keep under the radar but that didn't matter. So I tried following the sticky "HOW TO: Enable native hotspot for unlimited data users" but I was stuck right away. I don't have root nor have I ever rooted my LG G4 and I am on the latest OTA VS98612A. I tried searching XDA forums but got very confused if there is a way to root ver 12A. Can someone point me in the right direction as to which guide I should follow? or is there no root right now for OTA 12A? and without root I guess there is no way to complete the guide for native tethering?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!
[Verizon LG G4] hobbit101:
Anyone? I just need to know if there is a root process that I can follow for my vs98612a? I am temped to try creating a system image back up and do the root inject if someone can confirm that it still works for this update?
[Verizon LG G4] csimo:
Follow the instructions in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-g4/general/vs986-rooteddebloated-t3256814

That image does not include the hotspot hack so you'll have to install the modified hotspot apk after doing the above.

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morikida:
Hi all- I have an unlocked version of Z5 Premium and have upgraded them from Z3+/Z3 (I had both).

On both the Z3+ and Z3, I was able to use (and currently use) the new Android Pay app (not the wallet app). However, when I received the Z5 and tried to add the same credit card that works with Z3+ to the Android Pay app, I get the error message:

"Android Pay cannot be used. Google is unable to verify that your device or the software running on it is Android compatible."

I've checked both the Z3+ and Z5 and the Android version were the same. Recently, the Android version has been upgraded on the Z5 to 5.1.1, but still I'm unable to register the credit card that works on the Z3+.

If anyone has a solution to this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

It isn't just you, it's happening to all the Z5Ps for some reason. I assume it also happens with the regular Z5. Not sure what's preventing us from using it, but all I know is that it doesn't matter whether you're rooted or not. Hopefully this gets fixed in an update soon. I've gotten used to having mobile payments and it's pretty inconvenient to need to pull whatever card from my wallet now.

[MX Player] GTGeek88:
When playing MTS files from my Sony HandyCam on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 using MX Player, I get horizontal lines that degrade the quality of the video. I tried some other Android players and they were even worse. I've sometimes seen a similar thing in Windows Media Player on my Win8.1 computer. In researching it, I'm finding that it seems to be a problem going back quite a ways that may be related to the file format more than any particular device. It also seems it may have to do with interlacing. Has anyone seen this in MX Player with MTS files? There is a setting that indicates you can deinterlace, but it only works with the SW Decoder, which I turned on, but then there is a different problem - choppy playback (always) and distorted images (at times). I'm hoping for a better solution. Is there one?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
As you said Deinterlacing will only works with SW. SW decoder uses ffmpeg. So, it may render well in many occasions. But, it needs lot of cpu power. So, it may laggy in high definition videos (depends up on your hardware).

Both H/W & H/W+ uses system decoders. So, MX Player's control over it is very limited.
[Fire TV General] springroll2000:
Do not change your address under "Managed Content and Device" in Amazon settings to download apps from other regions, you would lose your Prime membership when you switch back to your original household. I found this out the hard way when I did that to download some UK-specific apps.
[Fire TV General] callanish:
If you add a phony U.K address, you can bypass that problem. That's what I did. Just make a U.K address up. I still have my Prime. Good heads-up for others to be aware of if they do add U.K apps to their U.S Fire TV.
[Fire TV General] springroll2000:
Can you share the detailed steps how you did that?

I also used an UK address, adding UK apps to the US Fire TV was perfectly fine, but as soon as I switched back to an US address, it took me out of my Prime household.

My impression that is that this is only an issue if you are a secondary household member to someone else's Prime membership. Were you added as a secondary member to someone's household that has Prime?
[Fire TV General] callanish:
Yes, I was added as a secondary household member to someone else's prime membership. The process on how I got it to work on my end without losing my prime membership is a bit hazy. All I can remember is after changing the country settings on the Amazon Website, I then purchased / added the U.K apps I wanted using a U.K address, I've now got a U.S and U.K address on my U.S Amazon account. After that, I just switched back to the U.S location on the Amazon website and still continue to have the benefits of prime. Probably the same thing you did. Have only done the adding of U.K TV apps once, but frankly you've got me kind of scared in attempting to add any further U.K apps by switching location to the U.K and back to the U.S in fear of losing Prime.

[XDA Assist] Droidriven:
Hello,

I have sent you a personal message with a link to your stock firmware, it is the 2.3.6 though, that is all I'm finding for your model.

If i remember correctly, the S2 Epic 4G Touch(SPH-D710) firmware will work on your device, it has the 4 capacitive buttons on the bottom. I have the SPH-D710, when I first got it it was used, it had a stock SCH-R760X firmware on it, I restored it to the SPH-D710. The D710 has 4.1.2. stock if you want to try it.

You can find the D710(SPRINT) firmware at "rwilco12's Android Repository" every stock file that exists for the D710 is there, stock and custom recoveries, stock modems, stock firmwares, stock pre-rooted firmwares, everything.

Look for my PM in your XDA inbox

Hello. I've been trying to find myself out but no luck. What happens if you cram an "old" Galaxy Note 4 into the new Gear Vr? I've already installed the Oculus App inside.

Thanks in advance :D
[Samsung Gear VR] cerchiara:
I dont know, maybe its just me but for some reason I feel the old vr headset for the note 4 is better then the new one for the note 5. I can def feel a difference in fov. Enjoy what you have on the innovator version.
[Samsung Gear VR] leeo101:
Im wondering the same, especially now that I've flashed my Note 4 with a Note 5 port and the model number actually says SM-N920C.
[Samsung Gear VR] Cruz77321:
Just finished reading amazon reviews and people are saying that the Note 4 doesn't fit! Most of us Note 4 users expected a software limitation that could be fixed with rooting or spoofing, but a hardware size issue would be a huge disappointment. I contemplated buying this VR consumer headset knowing it's not going to be compatible with the expectation of making some modifications to get it to work, but if it doesn't fit that's ridiculous! Hopefully someone shares photos or videos of their problems, and maybe we can find a workaround.
[Samsung Gear VR] clonednull:
Since the announcement of the consumer Gear VR it was clear that the Note 4 will not fit in it.

There is also a visible trend that new content is sometimes unsupported by the Note 4 (mostly because of the Snapdragon variant out there which somehow causes trouble to utilize the performance needed without overheating problems).

The Note 4 version is now over a year old and in my humble opinion it is/was a developer device but to get more testers on board it was called "innovator edition".

Porn still works. Thats all I care about. Can't wait untill my fleshlight arrives from Santa , oh ya!
[Samsung Gear VR] Wilsonb:
I read the specs and the Note 4 and 5 have the same micro usb connector. Is this correct? So what's keeping a Note 4 from being hacked to work with New Gear VR?
[Samsung Gear VR] Wilsonb:
I talked to a Samsung/Bestbuy Rep who witnessed the Note 4 fit into the new VR. Said it doesn't fit perfect and didn't advise it , but it does fit.
[Samsung Gear VR] Cruz77321:
That's somewhat good news. Now someone needs to confirm that the software works. I am surprised a Note 4 xda developer has answered this question yet.
[Samsung Gear VR] sawdoctor:
Dn5 for the n910c works perfectly with the note4 vr innovator edition. You need to install the oculus apps using n4 buildprop but after that you can swap back to n5 buildprop. I don't know much about the snapdragon variants but if you want to know anything about the exynos n4 and gear vr just hit me up
[Samsung Gear VR] Techngro:
I'd also like to know what people mean when they say it 'doesn't fit'. I am interested in getting a VR device, but the Innovator Edition is ridiculously expensive for some reason. Can you squeeze it in? Or does it really not fit. Maybe I'll head to a Best Buy and jam my Note 4 in the Consumer Edition to see for myself.

Better to ask forgiveness than permission. :)

Edit: I found the Innovator Edition for the Note 4 certified refurbished at Amazon for $150 and made a separate thread.

Even if it didn't fit.. why couldn't you use rubber bands or something to strap it to the VR as a rudimentary workaround? Or maybe even take part of the VR's plastic off.
[Samsung Gear VR] Wilsonb:
I was going to buy one to test myself. From what I understand, you can make it fit. With root , you can fake it to think it's what ever device you want it to be.

The problem will be overheating and under power, and screen resolution. But Samsung really screwed themselves with this non removable battery deal..
[Samsung Gear VR] Techngro:
If you do buy the newer version, let us know what the issue with the fit is. If it's something that can be remedied by modifying the back cover or removing it, I might return the Innovator Edition I just bought and get the Consumer Edition.
[Samsung Gear VR] bfilipowski:
I was just given one of these as a gift. Love it! The new version has a power port so you don't drain the battery. Instead of separate cartridges for each phone all of the devices fit into one set up using Springs and spacers. I'm running this with my note 5 and couldn't be happier.
[Samsung Gear VR] sawdoctor:
Sounds interesting, any links or pics?
[Samsung Gear VR] bfilipowski:
The photo without the device attached shows the nubs used as spacers. Each level is spring loaded and compresses depending on which device is attached. The end where the USB connector is swivels, the opposite end adjusts with a spring to fir device snugly.
[Samsung Gear VR] sawdoctor:
Thanks for the pics. I have the innovator edition for the n4 but have friends interested in the vr. Nice to know the new ones aren't device specific
[Samsung Gear VR] Techngro:
How snug is the fit of the Note 5 in terms of it's width? The Note 4 is only a few milimeters smaller in terms of width, but I bet that could be the difference between wedging it in and not getting it in at all.
[Samsung Gear VR] bfilipowski:
Since it is the largest device this was designed for; the fit is very snug. You would have issues with the corners if you tried to fit a note 4 into this. Your best bet would be a refurbished innovator edition.

[MENTION=262404]baja[/MENTION], I am very well aware which devices this was designed for.
[Samsung Gear VR] Trololoo:
Telemachus, did you do any modifications around the USB connector (in order not to press the home button)?
[Samsung Gear VR] Wilsonb:
Hey , thanks for posting.

1.) I would keep the spring posts in there , in-case you want to use a newer model in the future..

2.) The reason Samsung didn't include the Note 4 is pure marketing.. They piss on old customers and try to make it so others upgrade to a SD'less and non-removable battery model. That's why it was so much cheaper, they prob barley broke even.. I'm glad I went with a Note 4 instead of Note 5. I hope this mod is slap in their face..
[Samsung Gear VR] Telemachus:
Forget about the fact that note 5 also cuts out IR blaster, mhl, HDMI out, multimedia doc, snap on s-view covers and upgradable wireless charger antennas.

I have read about the home button being a problem but I didn't touch that part and it works fine.

Without a doubt the note 4 was (and remains) the best phone Samsung ever made.

[Samsung Gear VR] Wilsonb:
Thanks for the input, I will have to keep an eye on that setting.

Turned out (AFTER A WEEK of pulling my hair out), it was the new REv. of the ROM im using.

Originally on URv5 , beast mode Kernel 1.1.1

I was enjoying it with the new GEAR VR and loving it, I recently upgraded to URv6 firmware, and now when trying to use VR, the screen goes black without display.

Iv'e been messing with settings, uninstalling apps, factory reset, clearing caches , re-flashing URv6 and the problem wouldn't go away. Then last straw was I downgraded back to URv5, and now it's working again.

I don't know what changed from v5 -v6 that could have caused the screen to go black (with a tiny white x in one corner)....

Im now back on v5 and enjoying my VR.

Cheers..
[Samsung Gear VR] jedisurfer:
Once you find the rom you like and everything is working I'd stay with it. I've wasted entire days trying to find little quirks not working. Very happy with Rapture ROM.
