[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] punypowr1:
So I have a sm-g928p which was rooted and I made the mistake of using an app from the store to un root, needless to say after I exhausted all possibilities of getting it to boot I factory wiped in recovery and it failed: missing /preload. Unable to get it to do anything else but boot to the sprint spark screen.*

Anyone got a solution? I'm desperate. The phone is 3 months old and Samsung repair say its BER and mailing it back to me.

Thanks

Download a stock rom, and use odin to flash back. If you rooted your phone, you should know how to get to the software download screen to flash the stock rom

Android 5.1.1 Lollipop:

How do I find out which version I need?

Both should work, but I would use the AOI6 as it the most recent of the two.

Hello everyone! I first off want to thank you for taking the time to read this. I really appreciate any and all advice given.

So I have noticed that the themes for the s6 edge are a bit...mediocre. Now I am by no means an expert, but from what I know the software used to create the themes is nothing difficult. For this reason, and this reason alone, I have attempted to become a developer. However, in order to apply I need to submit images of my previous work [of which I have none]. Does anyone have any advice or any suggestions on what I could do to create something for them?

Thanks in advance for any help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] Misterjunky:
re: themes

I would not even want to start giving suggestions about how to become a "themer" here in xda.

But I can tell you one thing for sure, you are absolutely right about the s6 edge+ and the note 5

themes being a bit mediocre.

The theme store's themes are more or less nothing more than fancy backgrounds and wallpapers.

The icons in those themes have been more or simply re-colored foregrounds with re-colored & different colored backgrounds.

If you want to see what the themes used to look like here in xda before these new phones came out,

check out the BobCatRom themes.

Those themes are not simply different colored icon make-overs with fancy cartoon like wallpapers & backgrounds.

Check out these links to get an idea of what I mean:

Good luck,

Have a great day!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] SICKMADE:
I will give you some advice......Good luck getting approved by Sammy! I myself haven't applied yet because I don't have the time but a few themer friends of mine have gotten denied more than once by them when submitting everything that they require. So as of now it looks like they just want peeps from Hong Kong or China dropping those ugly ass themes I guess

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Peterrrrr:
Im going to root a Xperia Z soon, but I have a few questions.

1. Are there any Cyanogen 12-based rom with the original Xperia camera? It very important that the camera dosnt get worse. My old Sony Ericsson Arc S got a worse camera after installing Cyanogen roms.

2. I remember Sony said that if you root an Z1 or Z2 some drivers for the camera will dissapear and make it worse. It the same with Xperia Z?

3. Or are there any other camera app that improves the performences? FV5? Color os?Camera Next Mod?

4. Are there any particualar Cyanogen 12 based rom that have better batterytime?

5. Are there any app/mod/kernel that allows adjustment of color, white balance, gamma on the display? I want a more natural look on the pciture.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icrunchbanger:
1. Quick answer No! You can try some ported apps.

2. I have no information about this issue but i would say that there cant be any issues.

3. I found that FV-5 has slightly better performance

4. Monthly snapshot have slightly better battery life

5. Color, white balance etc are pretty satisfying since 5.0
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyramid Head:
1. No there isn't

2. Yes you will lose Bravia Engine 2 but only if you unlock the bootloader

3. You have to search for that

4. Dirty Unicorns 9.8

5. You will have to search for that too
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Peterrrrr:
1. But does Brava Engine 2 affect the camera? Inst that only for the display?

2. Is it possible to install Cyanogen 12 without unlock the boatloader?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icrunchbanger:
1. You got that right

2. View attachment 3573145
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Peterrrrr:
So this question remains :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyramid Head:
Bravia Engine affects only photos and videos after you take them not before and as for the bootloader it depends on whether what rom you want to flash but its always better to ask at the thread rather than guessing
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Peterrrrr:
So it dosnt affect the movie file at all? Just when you watch it on the phone? Because then it is just the display it affects or does it do something to the file after the photo is taken?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyramid Head:
no it doesnt affect the file, think it as a filter that activates when you are watching an image or video at your phone
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Peterrrrr:
1. OK, the Bravia 2 is the one I also can turn off in the display settings?

2. If I root and unlock the phone is it possible to do a full recovery(unroot and lock bootloader) with a stock Xperia android version and get back the Brava Engine 2?

3. I have search for one click root. But dosnt find any for the latest version, I have

C6603 with 5.1.1(10.7.A.0.222). Are there any guide for easy root and how to insall a new rom the easiest way.

4..Is there any special version out there of Cayonogen that is the most populuar? Or are the 12.1 version that is available on Cyanogens website bugfree?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Peterrrrr:
I installed Cyanogen 12.1 and it works great. The only thing that got worse is the microphone. This is my wifes phone and when I speak to her the sound from her microphone crackles. Are there any mod the makes it sound like on the Xperia stock version?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyramid Head:
1: Yes thats it

2: ONLY if you back up your DRM Keys before you unlock the bootloader

PS: You lose BE2 only if you unlock the bootloader, if you just root the phone you keep it

4: I have never really used CM so I dont know. You should read the latest answers at the corresponding thread

3: Small Guide

1:First download from here http://androidxda.com/download-kingroot-application the latest version of Kingroot and install

2: Run kingroot and press try me when it pops up to root your phone and now wait to finish

3: Now follow this guide http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html?m=1 to remove kingroot and install SuperSU which you are gonna need ( If you need any instructions here just pm me )

4: At this point you are gonna need a recovery go here http://nut.xperia-files.com/ then ( XZDualRecovery-->XZDualRecovery 2.8.23--> and download this XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined.zip22.75MiB on your computer

5: Extract the zip somewhere in your computer and initiate the install programm and follow the instructions

5.1: Now to unlock the bootloader. Go here http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ and follow the instructions, after it you will recieve an email with a number in it, write it down somewhere.

5.2: Open flashtool, connect your phone to the pc and press the option Unlock Bootloader, fill in your number and press unlock.

6: Now you download the rom zip in your sdcard, reboot in recovery, do a factory reset and install the zip

7: Now you have a new rom

PS: The first time it take quite some time to boot up, there is nothing to worry about

I hope i helped you :D:D

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renatofontes:
I ordered my Nexus 5X from bhphotovideo, shipping to Mexico. Sadly, I got a defective camera and bhphotovideo doesn't want to comply with customs here in Mexico so if I exchange my item I'll have to pay import taxes again (about 147 usd(even with this the phone was cheaper than buying it here in Mexico)).

I think the best option for me would be to replace the camera (it looks really easy) but I haven't been able to find a replacement camera module at a decent price.

Do you guys know a page where I could buy this? Or does someone knows when they might become available?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpj52190:
contact Google for a replacement/repair. they are usually better at customer service than LG. Ultimately call LG for a repair quote. It shouldn't be much.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juryben:
what's wrong with it?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renatofontes:
There is a black spot in the camera
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renatofontes:
I think I'll try LG since they have offices here in Mexico, let's hope they help even though it was bought in the us :)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpj52190:
mate that looks more like dust between the lens and the back cover... i've seen this happen in a dslr where dust goes between the lens and the image sensor

if LG fails to repair your device (i say they will fix it) then you can always open it to clear the dust out.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renatofontes:
I think that the spot might be in the sensor itself but it is worth a try

Will removing the back cover void the warranty?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renatofontes:
Well I tried opening an though I couldn't remove the black spot it moved to another place... so I'm guessing it some dust really really stuck to the inner lens?

Any ideas of what I can use to clean it?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpj52190:
they sell cans that contain compressed air.. specially used for electronics.. you could try that if there's any opening around the lens.. but i doubt there will be any opening. to prevent dust going in, in the first place.

http://gokimco.com/blog/using-compressed-air-dusters-to-clean-electronic-circuit-boards

here's what it looks like

the first thing i'd do is try to figure out where the dust is sitting. most likely its just between the lens and the back cover lens which would make it really easy to fix
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renatofontes:
Today while sleeping I dropped my pillow on the charger of the nexus... and it fell to the floor

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] LordPhong:
I just got my T-mo wing and I'm thinking about installing a custom ROM. However, I don't know if it's worth it. How much memory do you guys have left ofter from the custom ROMs that you are installing? If you are getting anything over 25MB of memory left, please let me know which ROM you have installed.

thanks.

PS: for those that are getting over 26MB of RAM, please share your knowledge. I've gotten rid of the My5 and voice command which now leaves me @ 21MB of RAM. However, it dwindles quickly as I open and close programs. Strangely enough, when I open this program call BeyondPod and close it, I get back some of that leaked memory. weird but true.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Mi|enko:
Dude. When I install PDAViet's rom, with a 6MB pagepool, I have like 40 megs of free program memory, and like 26 megs of ram available. These cooked roms are the way of the future. :-D

That sounds like a huge difference as I am only getting 16mg of RAM and 17mb of storage.

Please let me clarify that the above poll is for RAM and not storage. Sorry I didn't make that clearer.

I might have something. The app GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys has this option:

Haven't tried that because I got rid of my softkeys altogether by editing my build.prop (root needed); change

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

to

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

You can use Build Prop Editor.

I then use GMD GestureControl to use some side swiping gestures for Back and Home. You can also use the non-root All in one Gestures for that.

Lol. I'm totally lost. I usually don't make these types of threads. I'm trying to update to 6.0. I'm assuming I would need to update the Bootloader to 6.0 before hand. How would I go about doing so?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
So, what you wanna do is download a stock image for the version of Android you're trying to flash, make SURE it's for your device! And assuming you know where to get fastboot and how to use the tool correctly, enter these commands!

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader[press tab]

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio[press tab]

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot format userdata

fastboot format cache

fastboot flash cache cache.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

EDIT: Also worth noting that flashing system.img takes a few minutes, it may seem to hang, this is normal!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
For 6.0, you will need a custom kernel. In short, Google added these "system is corrupt" messages to their stock kernels for Android 6.0, you will need a custom kernel. I used elementalx personally, you can get that at elementalx.org if you choose to, for Android 6.0.1, that's a different story. Let me know if you need any other help on this! PM me if you need to!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaiSamurai:
Hi!

This is my first Android device, passing the warranty is a bit scary. I'm a former iPhone user and Apple dummy.

I have had the Note 4 for some weeks now and I'm not very pleased by its performance sometimes. I just rooted 5.0.1 and have been looking for guides to optimize TouchWiz.

Does rooting 5.1.1 have any advantage over 5.0.1. Witch is better to optimize TouchWiz? Can I have the features and battery life time from 511 on 501?

First I wanted to make a backup with Rom Manager but I didn't find any "ClockworkMod" for my device.

Ive also looked into Emotion Revolution custom rom. But the same questions from above comes to mind.

I found this guide: http://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/twrom-emotion-revolution-note-iv-t2976107

Does this guide apply to 501 or 511 or both? R12, R2.1 or R10.1? Can I have some more pros and cons on these? Note 5 experience sounds nice, but is it smooth and lag free?

I just want my phone to be really smooth with TouchWiz so i might as well ask if it can be optimized to the same degree without custom roms?

Please help! There are so many choices.. I'm sure there are way more experienced people than me here.

I think I am having a similar issue to the OP in the following thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3267539

I have unlocked my boot-loader and rooted a flashed factory image of mdb08m using skipsoft.

So I want to flash the new OTA but despite unrooting and using the the function in skipsoft to unroot, remove files, and restore stock recovery the OTA failed. I have since then downloaded the the factory image and re-flashed the stock recovery but every time I go into recovery (to try and sideload) I get the red exclamation with the words "No command" underneath. I then can not do anything.....

Thankfully the phone boots and runs like normal yet I can not do the update ?

Any ideas please?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
the ota will likely still fail if you were able to sideload it.

its been my experience with previous devices, you cant really remove root properly and make the phone 100% like it was. that probably why the update is failing.

frequently you need to flash the full stock img to make the phone clean enough for ota's.

i cant guarantee thats the case here, but is very likely.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casmo:
If you get the 'No command' thingy you should try fastboot flashing the recovery.

Hi, is there any unofficial ROM, that has real, working encryption of internal (and/or external SD) storage?

I have tested CyanogenMod 12.1 and 13 for some time on my L90 D405n, this ROMs are much better from Stock for me, but they have one huge problem - not working encryption of internal and external storage (SD). I was believing, that it will be fixed in some short period of time, but it was not, and looks like it won't be in the nearest future.

I don't know how it is that, but for me everyday usage of phone without encryption of personal data like photos and other apps with plain text stored passwords is not acceptable.
