[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] cyberjak:
A thought occurred to me here while just browsing the forums.

If it doesn't already exist, I'm wondering how many senior members as well as new members might be interested in having a place where live dialog could be done. Many a time I could see threads and posts by people looking for help or just making a simple query out of curiosity waited days or weeks before seeing a resolve or no answer at all on ones which the answer was easy. I've taken a few that looked like no answers that I was reasonably sure I was correct and posted an answer to and thusly those people probably at least if they did get a resolve went away thinking at leastsomeone was watching wanting to share knowledge and experience. Now while I know it could not replace the overall usefullness of a forum, as with a forum the answer is only a search away. Some answers could be resolved without saying "search the forum" or more degrading and sarcastic answers like "Why don't people just learn to use google to search" coming from an It support background I understand there are people that don't fully understand search engines or forums but are very good at following step by step instruction or pointing directly to a link to a post on the forum.

So my idea is a reasonably setup irc server with channels named properly to reflect the device of interest "Blue Angel" "Hermes" "Elf" "Universal" etc. where a person could go for quick explination or direction. and talk live to other members.

also a general discussion area for say windows mobile in general, or even just general rant about achievements or development feedback and idea sharing with more experienced developers who want to join in.

I don't know if this I already available as I haven't seen any that relate to this forum. But I think it would be a good resoure to both new and more senior and experienced users to have available.

Please feel free to give your feedback on this idea, but as I know how forums can be.

Please keep your feedback constructive and professional like the intelligent and respectful people I've seen so far.

Thanks

Note: yes to answer this ahead of time I'm thinking about starting up something like this or would be willing to help set it up if the owners of this forum would be interested. feel free to move this thread to a more proper section as you see fit

LG made my favorite case for the N5 and it looks like they've made something similar for the 5x as well.

+The official LG Snap On case is hard, thin plastic with no lip and no button coverings. With my N5, it was nearly impossible to tell there was even a case on: it's just that thin.

-The only downside was due to not having a lip, the phone can shift around a tiny bit inside the case as the lip tends to hold the phone in place. It's also a bit expensive ($20-25).

I'll post some links I've found to buy the product here but most of mine are from sites that sell to Canada. Feel free to share any links you've found to buy the case in the US or other countries as well.

Thanks to [MENTION=4125649]Infekxion[/MENTION] for bringing this case to my attention.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] ravichopra:
For a super-thin case I picked up this one (I'd had one of these imak cases for a Razr Maxx a long time ago as well): http://www.ebay.com/itm/11181578731...49&var=410801075038&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

It does have a small front lip, but is also ultra thin, fits tight as a drum, and at $7 delivered is dirt cheap. Nice texture for better grip as well.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] bblzd:
Nice find. Looks like one of the "quick sand" type cases. Those are great too (I had one for my N5) though the official LG case was noticeably thinner and with no lip felt like there wasn't even a case on the device.

On the up side the quicksand cases have unparalleled grip, though some people might be thrown off by the rough texture.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Fnord12:
Interesting looking case, I think this'll be #3 or 4 i've bought, I tend to accumulate cases until I find one I like. It's certainly cheap enough to be disposable if I don't like it.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] jbdan:
Sweet. I remember this case well (in N5 forums) but never got one they were a pita to find for me So I got the ringke slim for the N5 still have it and phone. I've gone caseless on the 5X so far I really like it but my OCD makes me buy cases....
[Nexus 5X Accessories] ubcjack:
Does it scratch the phone in any way?

I used similar case for my n5 and I remember it scratches corners when I try to put it on/off
[Nexus 5X Accessories] bblzd:
I actually never took that case off my N5 since it was easy to forget it had one on lol. I suspect the same will be true for this version. However I could imagine scratches being a possibility since thin hard cases tend to be quite tight and and difficult to remove.

There is a techniques I've seen used to help remove those types of cases safely using a taped credit card.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] zepeters:
Any idea where can I get this in the UK? I got the official one from google but it's just too bulky for my liking...

EDIT: Just found it on amazon UK. Here's the link for anyone interested (white version also available!):

[Nexus 5X Accessories] Shieze:
Is this case as slippery as the phone? I normally have my phones naked but for the 5x it is slipping out of my fingers when trying to pick it up on the sides specifically and it has slid out of my pocket a few times.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] bblzd:
Ive yet to receive mine but if it's the same as with the N5 case, the matte plastic will be almost identical to the 5x plastic.

For something with more grip check out that quicksand case linked earlier in this thread. Or if you don't mind a bulkier case I quite like the Diztonic matte texture I've been using for the last couple weeks. It's your standard case size but very easy to pick up and put down, has a better texture for gripping, and no doubt will protect well in a fall.

This thin hardshell is more just to protect from scratches and minor bumps while not noticeably enlarging the size of the device.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Infekxion:
I got my case yesterday and finally have a chance to upload some pics. It's a little bit thicker than the original but I enjoy it just as much. The caliper I used may need slight adjustments and the bottom edges gave me the best reading but you get the idea. I really like how there's no lip on this one either.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] kamajikaciya:
Thank you. LG Logo looks removable. Is it?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Infekxion:
Yes it is, doesn't look like it'll come out accidentally. It's a nice little accent that goes well with the imprint ring.

[Nexus 5X Accessories] kamajikaciya:
It's enough to be removable. I'll consider to buy this one. Maybe the ice one. I don't know.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] kj1060:
Has anyone found this in white for sale in the US?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] ubcjack:
Is the official one scratching phone in anyway when you remove the case?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Infekxion:
No scratches yet. I have a way of removing the case, same way with the old N5, hold phone with top end pressing into my waist and pry the bottom edges with my thumbnails. Slides off pretty easy. I recommend sitting down while doing it.

[Nexus 5X Accessories] ourfear:
is imak thinner than spigen one?

i have spigen case installed. but the spigen's lower left corner has space with phone... too bad....

btw imak is really cheap... only $3 in china, so i am afraid of the protection when phone fall from hands....
[Nexus 5X Accessories] bblzd:
None of the thin cases are really designed to protect in a drop. More just for scratches and minor bumps.

They might help a bit but even a thick case is no guarantee to protect the device in a drop.

I've personally tried the Diztronic case which is less than $10. It's made from thicker TPU material with a lip that would offer more drop protection than these thin cases.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] 2847018292@qq.com:
"My hand is pretty small - but the phone is very comfortable to hold. :3 ( with and without the fusion case. )

The case made the phone less slippery though. ( which is a good thing - as it is less likely to slip out of my hand, lol. )"
[Wileyfox Storm] kazparoph:
I just bought a wileyfox storm, then I followed the process to flash custom recovery and root the phone which done successfully.

After while I got an error massage and the desktop wont show up although I was able to access settings from status bar.

so I made a factory reset from recovery but didnt work

then downloaded the kipper rom from cyanogen but it wont pass the verification, it keep saying this is a crackling phone

So I downloaded the crackling rom for The SWIFT version and from recovery mode I flashed its zip file successfully,(PASSED THE VERIFICATION), then flashed supersu.zip.

I pressed reboot system

It shaut down but never come back to life, the only thing that works is the charging notification red light

Please Help:(
[Wileyfox Storm] RastHacker:
1- turn off your phone

2- plug it on pc with vol + pressed

3- now type on cmd "fastboot devices" normaly it appear

4- if you haven't unlocked bootloader unlock it with the command "fastboot oem unlock"

5- download cyanogen recovery from cyanogenmod site !!AND CHECK IF WRITEN RECOVERY FOR KIPPER!!

6- flash it via fastboot, type in cmd "fastboot flash recovery cyanogenmod-recovery-kipper.img

And wait

7- now type fastboot reboot

And press vol - during the reboot

8- now you're in cyanogen recovery, so flash the ROM and do not forget to wipe
[Wileyfox Storm] kazparoph:
Appretiate your kind response

Unfortunatly, this wont work for my case, I think I need a way to unbrick the phone, cant access to fast boot, my pc can see the phone only as CUALCOMM chip.
[Wileyfox Storm] RastHacker:
What's OS you're using?
[Wileyfox Storm] kazparoph:

[Wileyfox Storm] RastHacker:
Did you install fastboot driver?

---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

Try to press vol + and vol - and power, tell if it vibrate?
[Wileyfox Storm] kazparoph:
Sir, I really appreciate your concern, but believe me it's a hard brick case, so I cant access any usual boot neither fastboot nor recovery.

I wish someone tells me how to unbrick it.
[Wileyfox Storm] RastHacker:
Plug usb and try two vol button in same time, tell me if vibrate, if not let it charge during 1 hour and retry
[Wileyfox Storm] kazparoph:
Nothing happened, even after recharging
[Wileyfox Storm] RastHacker:
There is a probleme, you've just flashed the swift ROM, not really a reason to brick...

And the swift have same partition like the storm.

Where do you live? Me in france
[Wileyfox Storm] kazparoph:
I'm in Egypt

When i googled my problem i found the same happend with oneplus one phones,

The problem was hard brick due to wrong rom, and windows can see the phone only as Cualcomm hs-usb Qdloader 9008, same as my case. And the problem solved for the oneplus one, so I have some hope that my phone will come back to life.
[Wileyfox Storm] RastHacker:
Good news, if your problem is solved please post how you do on this thread or new to explain the tutoriel
[Wileyfox Storm] kazparoph:
Ofcourse I will.
[Wileyfox Storm] maxxie00:
Hi I have a similar problem, I installed the correct cyanogenmod and recovery and it was working fine, but after today's update it shows the bootup logo and then gets stuck in a black flickering screen.

I can't seem to be able to boot neither to the recovery nor to the fastboot mode, no volume key combination seems to work.

All adb says is the device is unauthorized and fastboot doesn't seem to be able to even see the device.

I tried the vol+ and vol- and power and it does vibrate, if I use the vol+ only it seems to get stuck forever on the vendor's bootup logo and the device doesn't seem to be seen neither from fastboot nor adb.

Is there anything else I can try to unbrick it or is it gone?

Thank you in advance for your help
[Wileyfox Storm] cross1989:
wow, exact same thing, kept saying my device is a crackling device so i flash a crackling rom, it went dead flash!

I have same problem, either stuck in bootloop (to the wileyfox screen and back to black) or just off. ONLY red charger light shows when I plug it in. Fastboot not working, recovery boot not working... NOTHING is working. On top of that I haven't even installed any roms, not rooted etc. All I did was reboot when it froze on a silly game I didn't mean to open WTFF
[Wileyfox Storm] runnaround:
wileyfox dead

I have the same problem, bootloop, qualcomm 9008 no fastboot or adb recognition. I'm guessing was the OTA update cos I didn't install any roms at all. TOTAL waste of money, zero support too. It's a non-starter DO NOT BUY!!!!
[Wileyfox Storm] ck_SF:
Same here :rolleyes: , interesting is the different device status between linux and windows,

at debian it's "offline" - at windows "unauthorized".
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wq0913562:
Hello,

is it possible to change the bootlogo that appears before the bootanimation on the LG G2?

I mean the logo that appears before the bootanimation.

On the LG G2 the bootlogo is just an LG logo.

On the LG G3 and LG G4 the bootlogo also says "Life's Good" and "Powered by Android".

You can see it in the following video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w28MR7kfA48

It would be kinda cool if the bootlogo on the G2 could be updated to the newer bootlogo of the G4.

Would that be possible?

And if yes: How?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hung0702:
Hey everyone. I previously used hotword detection all the time. On my old LG G2, I used the Nexus 5 mod to enable hotword detection from any screen. It only worked when the screen was on, which eliminates false-positives.

However, with the Nexus 6, I can only enable hotword detection on ALL THE TIME, even when the screen is off. It's extremely inconvenient due to the sheer number of false-positives I've encountered. I'll be listening to a podcast or music with the screen off. Even if the audio doesn't even resemble "OK Google," my audio will pause and I'll hear that trademark ping as my screen turns on, awaiting a command. How can I disable hotword detection when the screen is off?

It's trivial to turn the screen on before using it. It's annoying to have to dismiss the Google Now and then turn my screen off. Even if I could dismiss Google Now by saying "cancel" or "never mind", it still doesn't turn the screen off. I have to go and turn it off myself. Right now, my only option is to allow hotword detection from my homescreen but that's suboptimal. If I'm in an app and want to use it, I have to first tap-and-hold on the home button to bring up Google Now, then I say "OK Google."
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitalis:
I've been having this problem since 6.0. The thing is, I can say OK Google and sometimes hear the chirp but the screen doesn't kick on, but it's useless in most cases because I need the screen on to see directions or a phone number for a place I'm looking up. It's frustrating.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaper000:
Those false positives were positively driving me batty as well. I managed to cut them down by going into a closet and performing three REALLY good recordings in Google Now hotword voice training.

There is something else to try: Benzo ROM is a custom Marshmallow ROM that has hotword detection from any screen (NOT always on). I can't link it in XDA, but if you were to Google "Benzo ROM" you'd find the Google+ community that has download links for the ROM. Good luck!

Hi,

How do I root the phone now, after upgrading to 6.0.1 :confused:

I've tried the method mentioned here: http://www.guruswizard.com/2015/12/root-android-one-devices-on-6-0-1-marshmallow.html to root my karbonn Sparkle V

and it wasn't successful, and I've lost all data after unlocking bootloader [I've got desktop backups though]

When tried to flash that modified boot image mentioned in that page, I am getting this error:

target reported max download size of 134217728 bytes

sending ‘boot’…

OKAY [0.515s]

writing ‘boot’…

FAILED (remote: size too large)

Is it for 2nd Gen devices? Did anyone get root access on their 1st gen sprout4?

So how do I root my phone now?

Flash both of them, and enjoy root

Or if you want root on stock kernel

Use supersu 2.62 from attachments of this thread

It will patch the kernel automatically and root without modifying system

root

is there any way for rooting with custom kernel
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] Addhyan:
Custom kernel and Custom Recovery both are different things,

Custom kernel is the device supreme commander which controls all processing, ram, fluidity and many others fact you can tweak it but cant use it to root the device..

On other hand Custom recovery is used to recover phone by flashing ROMS, zips , img etc.

So you can flash supersu from custom recovery and root your device

But if you already have custom kernel installed on device then its clear that your device is rooted, as bcoz. your custom kernel gives you some extra tweaks which is given after root.

So device emulates that you have custom kernel so your device is also rooted..

I think that you have understood....

I don't have recovery on my phone what can i do?
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] Lord AJ:
You can flash one using fastboot. Or instead of flashing you can even use the command "fastboot boot recovery ......... " (replace..... With name of recovery image file) . Once you are inside the recovery flash supersu zip normally and you'll root your phone without installing a custom recovery.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] shaynethepain:
Hi,

Thanks for the info Atishay. How do you undo root if required post this method. Also does rooting with the above method affect future OTA installs?

Thanks.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] Lord AJ:
Go to Supersu app and click the option for full unroot/cleanup. That'll do the trick. Also, if you are rooted, you still receive OTA. In fact I received the Lollipop OTA while I had a custom recovery installed. The only difference that made was that after downloaded when the phone rebooted into the recovery for installation, the OTA zip wasn't installed. So you can unroot, keep the stock recovery and kernel and locked bootloader (you can relock it using fastboot) then you'll receive OTAs. However, I'd suggest, you install a custom recovery and simply flash an OTA when it arrives from the forums. Hope that helped you.
