[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lee_Garington:
so i bought this phone about 3 months ago (SM-G530T1) and i bricked it 3 days after i bought it by installing busybox un-rooted. still not sure how that happened but that is not the point, the point is i flashed the only stock firmware i could find (at the time) and it just so happened to be a mis-marked T-mobile firmware package. i didn't let it bother me though and continued to gain root and flashed ShinySides [AOF8]. It worked like a charm! I was just running T-mobile FW on a MetroPCS phone and it just got confusing if you have to call costomer service lol. so i made sure it worked in every way and removed all the bloatware. the only problem i had was with the hotspot feature, it had a mind of its own and that got annoying but i dont really use it that often so i could live with that. the phone was a champ! so i went to find a recovery or twrp. i was looking and found TWRP 2.8.7.0...it was not for the SM-G530T1 but it sorta worked and when i say sorta i mean it does pretty much everything you want it to do except BACK UP FILES! Lol! (at least for me anyways) so i ran that with the T-Mobile software for a few months until lastnight... see I didnt know about the failure to back up my files issue so you have to understand that i fully expected the TWRP Backup files to work and last night when i went to restore one of the BUps it informed me that i had no OS anymore !! oh man i wanted to puke! Upon further inspection i realized that it was only backing up about 20% of my system only and i should have noticed but i didn't expect that and that is how we learn the difference between knowledge and wisdom right? OK so at that point i had a bricked phone (MY DAILY DRIVER i might add) and i was not to happy to lose all my personal info either, so i went back on XDA to see what i could do. i was very pleased to see that there was now a working MetroPCS Package compliments of TSAR3000 and I went to work. I flashed it via Oden and was happy to see the familiar MetrPCS logo again, but i needed to re-root it so i used the ShinySides [AOF8] just to see if it would worked with the metro Firmware and it did! it trips KNOX but i could care less cause i dont want that crap anyways and i get rid of it right away lol. I debated if i sould put this next part in the message but i decided i would because people should be weary of programs and roots applications and remember that this is the true reason we root and unlock our phones to begin with... so Im not a paranoid person by nature but i dont trust King root or any of those one click apps companies because of some article i read a while back about how the Chinese root apps and downloads could possibly contain spyware but i never found any truth to it but from what i do know about the Chinese government i dont take the chance but its my opinion and i like the good old fashion (though a little more involved) flashing of SuperSU or whatever you like. So yes if you want to use ShinySides root procedure do it cause it works with metro just fine. Good luck.

OK where do I put the files on odin
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShineLikeMe:
Put the file in AP slot and the metro pit file in the box marked pit and start. And in about 4 or 5 min your phone will reboot and the if you want root and recovery flash Mr Sunnyside's trap kernel AOF8 then after that flash recovery TWRP SM-G530H it's the one recovery I've been able to find that works.. Good luck
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lee_Garington:
i wish someone would have been kind to me and gave me this little rundown when i started rooting my phones way back in the day. direct and to the point good job! anyways i hope there is no issues... i dont see why there would be since i have been running this exact recipe for 7 days and i must say its a rare moment in the phone modifying world when you can say "perfect" this is one of those times... now if we could only get some rom up in here it would really be awesome. hey i jus want to warn you about that TWRP your about to use. i know it to have bugs personally.... the main issue is that it doesnt back up your Data Boot Or recovery or Cache LOL, but everything else works fine so far. it will however back up about 20% of your system and shut of LOL (Basically just enough to add insult to injury) so my advice is use it cause its the best we have but BACKUP SOMEWHERE ELSE! just use the TWRP to flash or do the little weird TWRP things you gotta do K? Good luck!

SM-G530T1

I'm new to this forum. I've soft bricked my Grand Prime, flashed it, put a custom Rom on it and installed TWRP. What I'm trying to do is find the device tree specifically for this phone. If there isn't, how would I go ahead and build it from scratch?

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehtabg:
Hi guys!

I recently updated from the 11/24 build of Sultan's CM13 ROM to the 12/6 build and I seem to have broken something as my Messenger app keeps crashing every time I try to open a conversation. I get the error "Unfortunately, Messenger has stopped" and then the app crashes. I also don't seem to be able to receive any texts. I performed the update through the CM OTA Updater.

Does anyone know what I could do to fix this? Thanks!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kisskool34:
Hi,

Last week I had the same issue on CM13.

A clean flash should resolve this.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evolitist:
If you don't want to perform a clean flash, you can just wipe data of com.android.providers.telephony and reboot. It worked perfectly for me.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wjtemple:
Hey kids,

I restored an old nandroid backup for Roger's, and got my phone back to stock and have been running through OTAs all day. However, when I get to the OTA for the Android 6.0, after downloading it tells me I have an android "system version variant", and it won't let me apply the update. It's especially frustrating because the update file is a gig big.

version: 0.5
version-bootloader: 3.19.0.0000
version-baseband: 1.24.21331147A1.09G
version-cpld: None
version-microp: None
version-main: 4.17.1540.9
version-misc: PVT SHIP S-OFF
serialno: xxxxxxxxxxxx
imei: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
imei2: Not Support
meid: 00000000000000
product: m8_ul
platform: hTCBmsm8974
modelid: 0P6B16000
cidnum: 11111111
battery-status: good
battery-voltage: 0mV
partition-layout: Generic
security: off
build-mode: SHIP
boot-mode: FASTBOOT
commitno-bootloader: 55eb39ab
hbootpreupdate: 11
gencheckpt: 0

As you can see, I have SuperCID, S-OFF, and the correct MID for Rogers, so what gives?

Do I have to change my MID, and does that require root? Or should I lock my bootloader? Is there any way I can just sideload the OTA to bypass this?

Thanks for your help.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
You have correct MID for Rogers but wrong MID for Dev Edition

Dev Edition MID is 0P6B12000
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wjtemple:
Oh, I'm surprised it would offer me an OTA if I don't have the correct MID. Is it possible to change my MID without rooting, or sideload it to bypass the MID?

Will the phone even work on my network if it has the wrong MID?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
OTA is based on the current software version that you installed on your device.

Variant System Version is based on MID.

You don't need root but you need to install TWRP and do the MID conversion while in recovery

mount system

adb shell

then your MID code

After you install the stock recovery, you manually install the OTA. In recovery, select install from phone storage and browse to where you have the OTA. Put it at the root of your internal storage first for easy location.

Network is based on radio, not MID ... good luck

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] bigmout:
Has anyone successfully drilled a hole in any flip cover so they can see the notification LED light on their Note 5? I know this trick worked with prior Note models, but I seem to recall reading somewhere the LED is disabled when the Samsung flip cover is closed.

Can anyone confirm the viability of, or otherwise shed light upon, this mod for the Note 5 specifically? Thanks.

NM: Someone on reddit just confirmed the LED notification light is disabled when their Samsung cover is closed.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaGP:
I just got my Nexus 6P and the very first time I plugged in my SMS BioSport earbuds to the headphone jack, Android popped up a settings page that had bluetooth headphone controls enabled and headphone jack headphone controls disabled. I enabled the headphone jack headphone controls thinking it might need it for the HRM and certainly would for answering calls. Android warned me that this might allow someone to gain control of the phone through the headphone jack, but I figured I could just turn it off later.

BTW I never got the SMS BioSport HRM to work with Runkeeper on the 6P. (It had worked on my previous phone, a Galaxy Note II.)

I would now like to disable the headphone jack headphone controls, but I can't figure out how to get to the page. How does one navigate to the Android Settings page where the bluetooth and headphone jack headphone controls are enabled/disabled?

There's no hope regardless....... The Verizon and ATT forms are hopeless..... Nothing but death (locked bootloader) stalks these forums...

In all seriousness, yeah it's quite a surprise but, this is in Finland... I still wouldn't be happy if I got my update before the S7 gets announced.

It shouldn't have to take this long just for an update but hey, that's what I get for staying with ATT so, I can't complain...

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NekoXiu:
First, I noticed my OPX Camera takes maybe 2-3 secs to launch, and when I try to switch from front to back camera or vice versa, it would freeze for a good 5 seconds before actually switching. My gf just started using her OPX and it didn't have that problem. But she also updated to 2.1.3X and Im on 2.1.3 but I get the feeling it's not an issue with the OOS version Im on... any idea?

Also Camera MX stopped working, It just crashes upon opening so Im back to google camera.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogervn:
Is there a way to make active/ambient display on S6 just like in the Moto X series which display a single clock and notifications every time a notification comes or you wave your hands close to it or take it out of the pocket?

As S6 habe that screen from the Clear View case, probably it should be easy to show the same screen in the active/ambient display ocasions.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LNJ:
The S6 has the option of waving your hands when it is laying flat to view your notifications.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spike.trickster:
AcDisplay is an app that mimics ambient display. Try that out.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogervn:
Yeah, I know that the S6 has the option to wave your hands to show the screen, but it shows the full screen colored and everything, which would be bad battery-wise. Probably would be nice to just light up some pixels like the ambient display on Moto X as the S6 also have an AMOLED display.

I also know about AC Display, but it seems that adding it just adds another lockscreen in front of the default one and if you use it as your default lockscreen, it can't work with the fingerprint reader to unlock, is that correct?

It just doesn't seem too difficult to pop the same screen as the Clear View Case on waving the hands in front of the phone or when getting notifications. If it isn't possible to do it with the built-in software, they are missing a great opportunity here.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mindstealth:
Just saying this in advance, if this has been already asked and answered then I apologize for creating this thread; I know it can be really annoying. I have my exams going on, I tried to look for it but didn't find the information I wanted.

So I've been using XDA since I first bought a galaxy s3, and now I own an LG G3. I cannot emphasize how much this community has helped me over the time, and now I feel like I should be contributing after leeching for so many years. I know one way I can contribute to devs is by reporting bugs, but I feel like I'm capable of more than that.

Currently I'm an electrical engineering student in my third year, and I've gained a lot of experience with programming, I just finished a course on ARM assembly. What I want to know is how can I contribute to this community with my skills which are mostly in programming (C, Java, Assembly) and electronics. I would love to join any kind of projects where I can help and even though I admit I should be searching for them myself, I would really appreciate if someone could point me into the right direction.

TL;DR I'm an electrical engineering student with a lot of experience in programming and electronics, would like to contribute, need help with where to start.

And good luck for your exams!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Hi, you can help by answering questions in the Q&A section here if you know the answer. If you are talking more on a programming level you can send info regarding your experience to the developers posting team ROMs to see if there is some way your knowledge can help. I would say you should start with doing some of your own projects first, like themeing or building a kernel. You would have to search for guides though to get you started.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radioraheem2:
Does anyone else have this problem? Everytime i pick up a call, my face will inadvertently touch something on the second screen and open another app. it doesn't affect the call, but it's just annoying knowing that when i'm done with the call, my phone will have the camera open or in another app that's in my second screen shortcut. i know the V10 has a sensor up top that turns off the second screen when covered, but it just doesn't seem to work fast enough, because everytime i put the phone to my face, it opens another app.

am i doing something wrong? has anyone else here experienced the same problem?
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bikrame:
Same here. I had my signature (name) on it and it always take me to edit signature page. So i have to disable it and i put recent app and app short cut only. And i notice when we are on call they dont show up.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph3nom:
mine turned off during call if i put my phone to my ear. there is proximity sensor which should turn off your both screens when it is closed.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZiCott:
Same here as well, I need to point the phone angle to 45 degrees from my ears to avoid activating that 2nd screen when my ear presses on it. I wish LG would fix this behavior in the next patch
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph3nom:
May I know which model you guys have?

because on my H961N everytime i make a call or during call, the second screen turn off.. totally black.. so you won't be able to press anything.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radioraheem2:
i have the official Hong Kong version, which i believe is F600? i know the phone has a proximity sensor up top BUT, for my phone at least, it only works when the main screen is off (meaning, when the mainscreen is off, covering the sensor would shut off the second screen too). but when the main screen is on, the sensor does nothing, covering it doesn't turn off the second screen, which means the second screen stays on even when my face is pressed against it.

probably nine out of ten times, after i'm done with a phone call, the phone will have opened another app because my face pressed something on the second screen.

i love this phone overall -- it's so well-built; looks great; and the camera is the best in industry -- BUT that second screen is pretty damn useless to me. i almost never use it under day to day use and it actively gets int he way when i'm making a phone call... sigh. i hope the G5 can have V10's build but get rid of the second screen (which would make the phone a bit shorter too)
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph3nom:
isn't HK version is H961N as the code? and Taiwan is H962 i believe..

F600 is korean?

I got mine imported from HK and it is H961N
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaoran_ojo:
Mine is H961N, which is the model from Hong Kong. This problem does happen when I use the application Line to make a voice call, it doesn't when I use the normal phone application.

Maybe its about the proximity censor couldn't sense our face?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RowBan:
So there's a myriad of ROMs out there for the SM-G900F. So far I've tried only CM13, and while I love the looks and feels of it I feel it isn't stable enough. I want a ROM that is small/clean, stable and fast with as few apps as possible (just enough for it to run properly). I don't want to flash every single ROM available (as I'm really bad at this and might destroy my phone in the process) just to test them out.

So I am asking on here, do you know of any ROM that is minimalistic, clean, fast and stable that would suit my needs? First and foremost I want my phone to work as a phone, but I want most features to work properly. Preferably recently updated too :) Fast and stable being priorities.

I am thankful for any advice I can get. Currently running my stock rom, but it's freaking 3.8gb big... O_O

Also; I am sorry if this is against the Forum Rules. I skimmed through them before posting and it does not seem to be a conflicting question and the search function will not answer my question as all threads with similar questions are personalized and outdated.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epeglab:
XtreStoLite although it is a bit old, it's still great. (All GS5 apps flawless and lite )

CM12 AOSP, lite (near stock but high customization )

Blisspop Have not tried it but heard it was great.

Galaxy Project, I am going to be flashing to this soon.

These are just a few off the top of my head, as always there are amazing people and rom makers on this form,

so just look around.

Try new kernels to get different functions (double tap to wake) or just for better battery (handle wakelocks...etc better) or faster (overclock gpu and cpu)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselboy:
I'm also looking for some info on this because the Samsung Galaxy S 5 forums are a complete mess and very difficult to find info relating to ALL aspects of flashing, including rooting and recoveries! It never used to be like this.

So far I have tried these two roms and I'm now tired of the issues, lack of updates and fixes:

- Galaxy Project

- PhoenixROM

Both of the above are nice but the galaxy project has a known bug where you can't send SMS to legitimate international phone numbers such as +61xxxxxx using the default messaging app. So this was a waste of time for me

Phoenix ROM I've found that facebook integration with the phone has restricted contacts sync to the phone. I think this FB sync issue is due to the custom rom but repeated posts asking for comments / help has got nowhere.

Both of the above ROMs are laggy and slow down. There's no comment on this either. Pheonix ROM also doesn't continue playing music where it left off like the stock rom did. To explain further, I have the phone bluetooth with the car. I play music through the car from the phone. I stop the car / exit eg going to a shop. When I get back in the car, the music starts from the beginning of the 2 hour mp3. Pain in the bum. Phones shouldn't be a pain in the bum.

I don't want a ROM where I have to spend weeks customising it. This is boring.

I was going to check out Shohat ROM but reading the comments there's a bug with bluetooth audio streaming.

I'm too looking for a minimalistic (no bloatware!), clean, fast and stable ROM. Bonus would be extra enhancements to fix current problems. Not an easy task.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselboy:
Just the fact that there's no response to my previous post shows the forums for the s5 is dead. Time to buy a new phone i think.

Shame really since htc development continued well after the phones were outdated.
