Can any one tell me a way of rooting without installing a custom recovery?

I saw that this method: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development-d802/tools-how-to-install-twrp-bump-d80230a-t3072186 also installs a custom recovery.

As from what I understand, I would still be able to install OTAs while rooted but with the stock recovery

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ludeape:
I know Nova can rotate the homescreen but it stretches the widgets out and cuts them off, etc.. so it looks horrible.

Are there any other better solutions for a landscape homescreen?

thanks
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhespenh:
Google Now Launcher + Xposed + Xposed GEL Settings modules will do landscape very gracefully.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YrrchSebor:
Smart Launcher is what i use when I want landscape. Kind of a unique launcher, on the home screen, plus it breaks the app drawer into categories.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ludeape:
Thanks YrrchSebor,

Yea i was considering Smart Launcher but I am still on the fence whether I like the layout.. I am not sure I want to be limited on the amount of direct access icons i can place on the homescreen.

UPDATE: I am actually now using Smart Launcher for just a landscape homescreen when i want it. and the stock launcher for everything else.. its working out perfectly this way. i just placed a shortcut for smart launcher on my Stock homescreen, so i can switch back and forth between launcher homescreens with a single tap. I am using the Smart Launcher kind of like a Car Mode almost.. as I use my phone in landscape in the car holder... this setup is working out very nice so far..

Hi guys,

Is there a way to change the default quick reply messages when I receive a Whatsapp notification on my Gear S2?

I've added my own message templates via the Quick Messages settings within my phone's Gear app, but these don't seem to apply to Whatsapp.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Gear S2] obsydian:
+1 silly why it's not one quick reply list.
[Samsung Gear S2] luvgadget85:
did you find out how to do it, have the same issue here
[Samsung Gear S2] berabi:
I've just been trying to change this too but thought it was weird that the recent templates I added weren't in the list. That's said, the experience seems enhanced somehow for WhatsApp as I can see the person's avatar plus a cute little animation when I read the message so I wonder if something proprietary exists underneath that doesn't refer to the default list.
[Samsung Gear S2] jimkjm:
Unbelievable that Samsung isn't actively doing much about this.

It's been almost 1 year since the OP posted this. I'm guessing people have given up on Samsung.

Quick Reply list is messed up. Not even related to the template we have configured in Gear Manager. Worst part is there's some bogus foreign language option showing up in the Quick Reply list.

Here's the bogus Quick Reply option (shows up twice in the Quick Reply list):

Hello.

So recently got my replacement of note 5 due to screen issue.

This unit is perfect the only problem is my FFC is off centerd towards bottom left.

Its not blocking picture or anything.

Just getting ocd.

So guys should I care? If the ffc is off centerd? :confused:

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hextence:
Doesn't look like its a major thing. You should take it to a Samsung Repair Center... They should be able to fix and give it back.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ctechie:
Well actually its not blocking pictures in anyway.. So debating should i take it for repair or not.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hextence:
I had OCD just like you. I would take it. And I don't think you'll be charged for it. Its a brand new device.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hextence:
My S3 had a similar problem, but for the back camera. They fixed it in half hour. That's why I suggested taking it repair center.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ctechie:
Oh ya! Rear is actually easier to fix.. For front they will need to replace the screen or. The whole unit. Thats why debaiting.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hextence:
That could be a problem... since its not doing anything go photos. You can just keep it then. Changing the whole unit is a big hassle

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Octa_core:
my note 5 looks the same. it seems like the lens they are using causes it to look like off centered. Don't worry about it. Better that then them trying to dissemble the whole phone for one camera that has no defect.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ctechie:
I think you are right.

As the camera is working perfectly fine. It will be horrundus to sent the phone for repair. Just now I have to try controlling my damm ocd.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LateForDinner:
OCD stinks! Thanks for making me check mine. It is slightly off. Nothing to worry about. My Lumia 1520 rear camera was way off and I never had an issue. It should be fine as long as there is no vignette. ?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ctechie:
Have you seen my front camera pic i attached ? Do you think its way off center? Should i be worried? I know it dosent harm anything just my damm ocd.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LateForDinner:
It probably won't make difference unless your phone is pointing at an extreme angle to the sun to cause adverse vignette shading. I liken it to that micro scratch on the screen you never noticed until that one day when the sun hit it just right. Now you can't take your eyes off it...LOL!
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] me_ashman:
Well, if it's a $50 phone I wouldn't care but for me it's a $1000+ phone so yeah they can fix/replace it until I get what I paid for....a premium phone.

Well the wierd thing is, that today I went to the shop, and I was suprize to see that most of a phone out there was having off centerd front camera specially samsung gakaxy s6 and note5 :confused: :

I visited 3 shops and total of 10 phones were i seen, almost 7 of em were having off centerd camera. As i am on my 3rd galaxy phone 1s6 and two notes replaced for some other ocd reasons in just 2 months replaced two times. As am on my 3rd unit worried that if i change this time with this issue might end uo having bigger probs.. Whats ur say guys should i go for my 3rd replacement?

Can someone explain me how to do it, and what to do, because i never did it on huawei :/

Removing changes to update purchased M9

Hi guys, apologizes in advance for the (potentially) stupid questions. This is the first time I've had to work backwards so to speak...

I purchased a M9 from eBay in the US a few days ago. Everything is working fine, up until I tried to install the lastest software update (1.32.617.30). I get the error "htc system has been remounted r/w reflash the device to re enable ota updates". Digging a little deeper I find the bootloader is locked but it does have S-off. Not finding any evidence of a root but obviously it has been at some point. My question is, is is possible to restore the blocks to original (or force the update through) without any previous backups or even knowing the history of the phone? Would RUU developer edition work without knowing if it came from AT&T/factory unlocked ect?

Some other info if it matters:

Android 5.0.2

Software # 1.32.617.6

Kernel 3.10.49-gc7c4f20 and@ABM034 #1 SMP PREEMPT

Baseband 01.01_U11440221_59.04.50303G_2F

Build 1.32.617.6 CL493992 release-keys

Thanks in advance
[XDA Assist] xunholyx:
Hi.

You can run the RUU. It's unlocked to work on all carriers, so don't worry.

Also, 1.31.617 isn't the latest software update, 2.11.617.15 is.

You can download the official RUU from HTC's US website.

Scroll down to the Manual System Update Instructions and read them. The RUU is at the end of the instructions.

This will return you to stock, and IT WILL also WIPE YOUR PHONE, so backup anything important to you.

S6 Sprint CDMA to GSM

My brother handed me a Sprint S6 that he paid off and said was unlocked by Sprint OTA. He wants to use it with Consumer Cellular or Straightalk GSM service. He also has the unlock code provided by Sprint. Since this is currently on a CDMA network, can it be modified by flashing another rom, to GSM. I know the phone is capable of using both network types but realistically can it be done. If so how ??

Thanks in advance for your expertise

edit: purchased direct from rim, uk model, STV100-4

Update went well - Only noticeable difference (so far) is that it does not play the screenshot sound when the phone is on mute. Yay!
[BlackBerry Priv] fkofilee:
Interesting, Purchased mine from CPW and nothing! No Carrier interference either... DO i really have to wait until the 7th :(
[BlackBerry Priv] Viperlin:
It appears so, CPW must qualify as a carrier... OR they are restricting the rollout somehow, IMEI lottery?

I am curious, did the CPW phone come with all the american "emergency broadcast" options (like earthquakes and amber alerts) under the same menu as APN settings?

Did it come with the "Demo" mode for showing off the phone on the shelf?

and have you found a way to turn off "lock screen when you put the phone down"?
[BlackBerry Priv] m3ta:
The units CPW sold came from O2.

So, "from CPW" really means "an unlocked (and branded) O2 phone".
[BlackBerry Priv] fkofilee:
Mine isnt O2 branded.... :/

How did you find that out?
[BlackBerry Priv] m3ta:
First info I got about this was from giffgaff (which is an O2 MVNO, they should know).

I am not aware that CPW is selling non-O2 Privs, but... I do not have confirmation.

Tell me something, when you reboot, if you look carefully at the screen, do you see an O2 background for a split second before boot terminates? It's just a split second, but it's really full screen and hard to miss if you stare at it. I rebooted a CPW Priv 2 days ago just to check that and there it was. :)
[BlackBerry Priv] Viperlin:
Actually I think CPW had exclusivity for 2 months and do offer the handset on O2/Voda/iD - so I would not expect them to be carrier-branded at all, CPW branded maybe.

US handsets had bootloader logos for all carriers and simply selected the carriers bootsplash theme I believe.
[BlackBerry Priv] RalphLauren:
This!

unlocked-unbranded BB10 devices are picking up the provider logos depending on your SIM.

Think that BBandroid is not different
[BlackBerry Priv] fkofilee:
Nope it isnt any different, powering off your device and powering it back on will show your SIM Provider Logo Splash Screen :)

O2 does the same, Voda does the same.

Hey there. Got a STV100-4 from Carphone Warehouse, rceived the OTA today. Phone hung on "Shutting down..." screen for around 6 minutes, after that I forced reset by holding power button for a while, phone rebooted OK and now informs no updates available. Software version is AAC724 (foolishly didn't look what it was before trying the update) and I don't have the 16:9 option on the camera. So it seems like a failed udate and I can't force it because it reports to be up to date. Any ideas on how to force the update again? Except from hard reset obviously... I thought about downloading the OTA zip directly and trying sideload, but I don't have the OTA link. Tks!
[BlackBerry Priv] Viperlin:
"BlackBerry’s official apps will also be updated via the Google Play Store starting December 14 with new camera filters and keyboard tweaks."
[BlackBerry Priv] alperazzoli:
Thanks for the prompt reply. I gathered that the camera update would come with the OTAS file instead of through Google Play. My bad. Anyway, I solved it by doing a factory reset. Freaked me out alright because it took ages to complete. Don't know how long it lasted because decided to go out for a stroll and leave it at home plugged on the charger doing its thing.

Right after setting up my google account on the phone, it prompted to download the OTA again. This time it worked perfectly.

By the way, the camera and several other Blackberry apps / services got updated yesterday evening through Play. Didn't have the chance to look for the improvements yet, just noticed that the "Hub" now catches whatsapp notifications as well.

tracfone moto e root (kinda)

I downloaded kingroot apk and desktop version installed a superuaes that opens and is available to change settings changed to always allow shortest prompt started kingroot and started the process hit the home button around twenty percent and kept opening superuser until it said update binary that's constantly opening and closing until the pop up comes up then allow phone does freeze up and reboot but clicking on king root and home and busybox did the same thing set all superuser perms to allow adb and apps hooked up kingroot adb and saferoot for the s3 or four can't remember but it works I have done the same with as many root apps as I could but it allows superuser for a few seconds either the desktop or apk I did both at the same time and was more successful but it freezes I used adb to USB and reboot when nessesary unplugged cable to turn off and on it does not keep root though it will say its rooted and if you try to use any root apps it freezes up until it reboots the tracfone version is not eligible for boot loader unlocking in case you were wondering why go through that much trouble to not root your phone but it rooted it and allowed superuser until restarted I started all that because my daughter let it die completely and it would not do anything but bootloop online help for the tracfone version is laughable at best bootlooping moto e tracfone only fastboot and recovery worked but the recovery loads to chopped dead android saying no command research got me nothing until I read something on the moto g and it says hold the volume keys for five seconds then the powers key and stock recovery is revealed wipe data factory reset wipe cache and automatically it rebooted I believe the moto e bootloader as long as it never dies only gets loaded once then its fastboot from there on out a million things you can do to your phone update whatever but the thing dies completely and it has to load the bootloader first and if it does not recognize or like what's been changed it does not boot so there is a fix for that problem got me thinking about rooting it that way I believe that if it was possible for it to be rooted and power be shut off from it then it would stick but built in battery and no desire to destroy if its able to be rooted even for a few seconds isn't it possible to make it stick? Not all of us are eligible for unlocking I don't personally use this phone but if these ten twenty dollar on sale phones can be rooted and unlocked I believe this movement of custom and dev would go farther and reach more thrifty people
