[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PureChris:
Hello,

I tried many instructions to get a custom rom on my device, but I failed.

I successfully unlocked my bootloader. Then I flashed the newest TWRP Recovery. I think Root was not successful for me even after trying different methods.

I have the 41.1A Bootloader from my latest original 5.1 update.

First I got the "Installation Aborted Status 6"-Error with the CyanPop ROM sometimes. Then it suddenly worked, but the Gapps installation failed. It said "Gapps version ist not compatible", but it was gapps 6.0. Then gapps worked, but the "setup-assistant" crashed constantly, so the phone was unusable.

I tried the unofficial CM13 ROM, but I stuck in the Bootloop after a successful flash. Sometimes I got an error like "could not find the binary of the zip" while I flash a ROM, but then suddenly it worked again.

It is possible for me to flash the 5.1 Stock ROM (Retail EU 5.1 Stock ROM (Optimized) v1.0 (336mb)) , but I don't get a working mobile connection. The device finds my SIM and I enter the pin, but it doesn't get a connection.

Then I tried to flash the Retail EU 5.1 Stock ROM (Untouched) (522mb) for a hopefully working mobile connection, but the "could not find the binary" error occures again. Edit: Installation succeeded now, but I still have no mobile connection afte rentering my pin.

Thanks for any help.

Google Messenger doesnt work properly on OxygenOS.

When you text a new conversation, the answers of the contact doesnt show up on the same thread but opens a new thread instead. You end up with 2 threads for one real conversation.

It's annoying when you often open new threads (searching for a car by now and need to contact different sellers).

Basically for sms you have :

Chomp sms, Textra sms, handcent sms (all with ads at this point... wich isn't a problem on a rooted phone with xposed :D), handcent being far more buggy and bloaty than the other 2.

Then you have QKSms, that is opensource now, but isn't as polished/finished (amongst other things, i never found out how to send text+images/video in the same message, once you type text the attach button don't work anymore for me).

Then you have Falcon SMS, in developpement, it's quite nice but has some irks and quirks (typically for now, the video/pictures mms attach is broken, the dev is working on it).

Should give you quite some ideas to test (as far as i've tested, from memory since my dualsim phone broke months ago, chomp, textra, handcent, falcon handle dual sim properly).

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashareth:
The MMS support is (by far) the best of all the sms apps i tested (and i tested a lot) they seems to be the only ones having them working flawlessly on the 3 carriers i tested them with (wich isn't the case all the times for the others, despite seemingly using the same setting :p), i prefer Chomp overall, but it's a matter of taste/ui design.

From memory, Textra is a fork from an old Chomp version too. I find the theming system/support far better in Chomp, and too "limited" in Textra for my tastes, but that's just me, i'm peckish. :p

Hello everyone,

This is my first post here, and please be patient if I'm posting in wrong forum. There is so many forums, that easy to get lost.

Anyway, I'm looking for app that will be changing wallpaper on my Android every day, by downloading new one direct from constant URL, and this will be done one time per day, e.g. at 5 a.m.

PS. Sorry for my English, I'm not native English speaker :)

[XDA Assist] Primokorn:
Hi,

Thanks for using XDA Assist.

I don't know if you can do it from an URL but here is how to set random wallpapers with Tasker:

Context

New Context - Time => Select a start and end time eg. 7am to 11:55 pm

Action

► Add action type Variable - Variable Randomize

Name %RANDOM

Min = 1 Max = (number of different backgrounds you have)

► Add action type Display - Set Wallpaper

Navigate to where your wallpapers are stored. Where the wallpaper number is change to %RANDOM eg. dcim/100ANDRO/wallpapers/wallpaper%RANDOM.jpg

► Add action type Task - Wait

Choose an interval 15 mins for example

► Add action type Task - Goto Action

Number = 1

Hi Guys,

Is there anyway that i can read chines in WM6?

Thanks
[HTC Tornado] andot:
if you want a Chinese ROM, try this one: http://www.coolcode.cn/andot/window...t-simplified-chinese-song-edition-v2-released
[HTC Tornado] edwinlcw:
Thanks...

The english rom is fine for me... but i can't read chinese words and text in chinese...
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
That's because the chinese font is not installed
[HTC Tornado] edwinlcw:
where can i get the chinses font?
[HTC Tornado] alexnvidia:
andot,

first of all, you've done a great job on the updated WM6 ROMs. but as of now, those who use english interface and need to read and compose chinese occasionally have dilema on which ROM to choose. the only available one is WWE you released some time ago but it is quite outdated and buggy.

we are requesting for you to release an updated version on WWE where users can have the best of both worlds (English interface + chinese language support like those found in original dopod 577w) including bug fixes such as camera, GPRS issues, Wifi, comm manager, etc. i like the fact that much of the UI is untouched with no fancy clocks or bars in the old WWE build.

once again, THANK YOU very much for your hard work!
[HTC Tornado] Lemark:
Just install Ce-star2.8 for Sp on top of andot's perfect version. That is what did. :)
[HTC Tornado] edwinlcw:
I downloaded Cestar2.8, but when i install it said that my phone has already installed with the software, need to uninstall it first....but the issue is i never installed the software ...

anyone can help?
[HTC Tornado] Lemark:
Don't know what is your problem. I installed it smoothly and now after nearly a month it still is working good.

P.S the WWE version has a terrible interface. The font is much uglier. I prefer the perfect english version.
[HTC Tornado] edwinlcw:
Finally i can read chinese words and sms in chinese after searching up and low... but now there is a minor issue with the wording on top of the bar when navigate to the menu, programs and submenu (ie Start, Messaging...).

Is there anyway i can over come this?

ps: Currenly i'm using the simyou.ttf font with some registry modification..

Thanks
[HTC Tornado] edwinlcw:
Problem solved... now the title font has been changed back to the default font...:D
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Mind to post what you did?

I managed to get T9 working, but I only see boxes, which means that the font is not installed properly, so I did some registry changes to include some font, but still I see boxes
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
This seems weird, eventhough I see boxes, but my T9 Stroke and T9 Pinyin are opposite, stroke is pinyin and vice versa
[HTC Tornado] edwinlcw:
this what i did

This is what i did:

1. copy simyou.ttf to \windows\fonts in my phone

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontPath]

"FontPath"="\windows\Fonts"

2. copy segoe.ttf and segoeb.ttf to \windows\fonts

3. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontPath]

"FontPath"="\windows\Fonts

4. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\Sys temLink]

"Segoe Condensed"="\windows\Fonts\simyou.ttf,YouYuan"

5. reboot my phone

hope this help.

I wanted to take a minute to post this little PSA from my perspective. Until about two weeks ago I had NEVER owned an Android Device, Blackberry all the way....and then dammit Amazon released their $50 Tablet. They were baiting me, bastages, so I dove in. First site I found was XDA, God Send, thanks to all the Dev's in particular the group responsible for the ROOT (http://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/development/wip-achieving-root-thread-t3238152) and [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] for his work on CM 12.1.

So Nubes, read read read. It was tempting to post questions in the first few days but I would have short changed my learning path and lost valuable experience. One of the best features of this site is not allowing posts from nubes like me in the dev threads. EVERY answer is here, just look.

Thanks again, I'll ever be at the tech level of many here but will always appreciate the work of the masses.

XMD 2004 - Encryption function NOT working !!!

Hi,

unfortunately the Encryption function just working with

● Android 4.3, (C2004_15.5.A.1.5)

NOT working with

● CM11 (349_NIGHTLY_20150119)

● CM12.1 (NIGHTLY_20151114)

It would be great if we can use CM12.1 and CM13 with the Encryption function!

there is only one way

you must install Android 4.3 new, e.g. flash "C2004_15.5.A.1.5_Generic_Brazil.ftf" new.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antiquezip:
Hi guys

This is the first time EVER I've seen. Last night I'd flash factory image 6.0.1 and SuperSU 2.61 with stock boot.img using system-less root method. Things went fine and I went to bed.

Woke up this morning and saw a notification from my bank (Chase) on the notification panel, I touch it and to my suprise, Chase app asking SuperSU permission so I granted it but did not open the app (Chase) and went online to researching to no avail.

So I then open Chase app and saw the toasted notification stated that Chase has been grant an inactive shell permission.

I've using Android and manually rooted, not using toolkits for years and this is the first time ever I saw a financial app seeking root . Kinda strange to me or is it due to the state of system-less rooting method? Did any of you guys ever seen this?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregg1ep00:
It asked me for root permissions as well. I denied it, and it seems to be working fine. I cannot think of any reason imaginable why Chase would want su access, and I also can't think of any reason why I'd want to allow it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
You guys sure this is the actual bank site or maybe it could be a bogus phishing site. Bank apps are not happy with root generaly.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregg1ep00:
This is the Chase app from the Play Store, which I've been using for years. I don't recall when I first noticed that it was requesting root, but it was a while ago. I just denied it and never thought twice about it, as it was fully functional.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Sounds weird to me, i`d check it if i we`re you. Can`t imagine a bank or government app for instance requesting root that makes a device per definition less secure :(
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregg1ep00:
Agreed. Hopefully this thread will continue and someone can shed some light on this. I'll look into it as well.

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

It may have something to do with restricting what you can do with the app if you have root. Just saw this review for the Chase Freedom Mobile app on Play Store:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Oke, its better to be safe then to be sorry :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
There is NO WAY in the world that ANY REAL Chase app would ever ask for root...I'd get rid of that app, and do a full wipe of my phone...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scryan:
They may make a request for elevated permission to ensure it fails? Sort of checking to ensure things are secure?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motokochan:
As scryan says above, it's very possible the application checks for various indicators that the phone has root and adjusts its behavior if so. I know the application already explicitly blocks screenshots.

Such behavior wouldn't be too surprising. Root access is a large security hole in that any application with root access can access private storage for any other location. Combine that kind of access with the application's ability to make financial transactions from within the application and you have a major risk.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcng:
Just checked, the app does ask for root.....

Lmao!!!!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antiquezip:
I'm sure that the app is/was downloaded from Play store and I've used it extensively but never have seen root permission seeking prior to flashing 6.0.1 and system-less root method.

Like you, I'm highly doubt when app from financial institution and government asking for root permission .

Will wait to see more info from other users before contacting my bank.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
All these questions could be answered by someone running a logcat to see what it is doing. Might want to get used to it. With the changes to android making root harder and more and more apps checking for root/xposed. You will soon have to choice between using the app or being modded. We all see it coming to that.

I once had the My Verizon Mobile app ask for root access. I lol'd at it then quickly deleted it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R3NIK:
This is a security check for the app. I know the Blizzard Authenticator used to do a root check and wouldn't even work if you allowed it root access.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadow89:
What I did to get it to work, is try to open the app. It will hang there in the gray screen. Go to your home screen, open the supersu app and simply delete the entry for chase.

Press the recent apps button and switch back to Chase app. It will load normally, without asking for root again. Only problem is that you have to do it every time.

Hope it works for you guys as well.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scryan:
I'm really getting tired of this whole "ohhh root presents a security risk!" thing...

Not that I am saying it doesn't, but how about every PC you use that have "root" access? No concern over that...

Hell windows will, or can be made to allow programs to run as "root" with out so much as a prompt, at least on android you have to grant approval, and have a nice list of the programs you have granted approval/rejected. It is generally less risky to have root on an android phone then to have admin access on your windows computer, though no one is blocking PC users or making permission requests and blocking access if they are granted.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Those are very different things. Even Windows pc the person that bought the PC is not the main owner of the system. (check it out) The owner is Trusted installer and not the user.

It is riskier because stupid people cant seem *NOT* to lose a $700 phone which they foolishly put important info into.

Also as for your grant argument. It is invalid because once you have root, apps can request and grant root permissions without the user even knowing or having the app log it.

Also windows has some anitvirus (not sure why people would use it) as to where android devices really dont. The so call virus detectors in android are nothing more then fear mongering apps and will never catch any of the issues at all.

The main issue is people rooting their device when they really have no use for it. The average person has no business rooting their device. Sooner or later Root will be made soo hard to achieve that only the people that really need it will go through the trouble of doing it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
THIS, and, of course, for me, the issue always is why would I trust a phone app to safeguard my personal financial information????

I would NEVER do my banking with a phone app, for so many reasons, all related to security...

It blows me away that so many folks "trust" a cell phone app, with so many personal/financial aspects of their lives..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scryan:
what root are you using? As far as I know with methods like chain fires, su is installed to the system like linux and when apps make requests for root access there is a prompt to allow or deny, with the option to apply each time or only for a limited time...

Can you link me to any information on apps running with root access with out needing to request root permission?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
i think he is referring to the fact that after the first time you grant root permission, MOST folks click "allow", and from that point forward, that app no longer asks for it again..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scryan:
He said with no record, when you do that it shows in the management app...

You can also always run as admin in windows.
