[General Questions and Answers] Matrixiux:
Hi All!

I have an Android app. Lets say Im logged in the app. I managed to back up and restore the app in loged in state using clockworkmod Helium App.

Windows 10 also has the same app on the market, but I dont know the login to that app.

Is there any way to restore my backed up android app in to windows 10?

I was thinking of using http://amiduos.com/ to use Helium, but I don't think that would work.

It's a very important project that Im doing. Please help.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zfrnz:
So I dropped my Galaxy S4 and destroyed the display, rendering it useless. Then I ordered a Nexus 6 and its amazing! I love it. I had rooted my S4 successfully and I had some root apps running, which I came to love and now I'm having trouble to live without them.

I want to root my Nexus 6, but my mom won't let me. She says she wants to learn more about the risks.

I don't understand her reasoning because rooting a Samsung on Verizon is extremely tricky compared to a Nexus, and I was able to do that without any problems. From what I can tell the risk is very low for a Nexus, and it's hard to completely brick as long as you don't go flashing the wrong stuff and I probably won't go flashing anything fancy until there are some more ROMs for Marshmallow. And if I ever do physically break it, its really easy to go back to stock and make it like it was never even messed with. I've tried to tell her this but she won't listen.

If anyone has a minute, can someone confirm and possibly reinforce my statement? I'd love to root this baby in the next few days. Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Tell her that you won't use a phone with restrictions. Give the phone back. Be strong, don't complain. Just leave the phone alone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Just tell her your grandma`s phone is rooted too ;)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zfrnz:
If I did that then she would get pissed and just take the phone away... Stock is better than no phone at all. If I give her some evidence then that would most likely do the trick. I've learned that if I go about things in smart ways and don't get angry, I get what I want more often. Thanks though :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zfrnz:
Lol... My grandfather's phone actually is rooted. He's got sprint though and they're better when it comes to fixing rooting.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toledodj:
Your mother is just being cautious. Yeah, the chances of brick on nexus phones are slim, but that depends on how much you know about rooting and such; or how well you can follow instructions to the letter. And, like any other phone, Nexus' can be very expensive to fix if damaged too much (hard brick). Especially with the Marshmallow update, anything can go wrong. If you're confident in what you're doing, go for it. Otherwise, listen to your mother.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
No, be consequent, the phone is yours or not. You can not change the idea that there risks. Because there is a risk.

You could change the strategy. The risk is not the rooting process. The risk is the person that roots the phone. Show/tell her that you know all the howto's. You must give the impression you are an expert.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zfrnz:
Yeah but compared to rooting an S4 a nexus is not risky at all... And wugfresh toolkit works on Marshmallow so that makes it even easier
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toledodj:
I didn't know the toolkit could now root Marshmallow. I could've sworn using it would brick the phone. If the root toolkit can do it, by all means go for it
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zfrnz:
This page has mixed answers... One guy said it worked but another got bootloop. But a boot loop is easy to get out of and that seems like the worst thing that happened
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Last remark. Arguments won't change the idea's of your mother. Tell her you should be very happy when your phone is rooted. Because of the customizing possibilities, like the use of layers.

Happiness is a state of mind and you will remember many many years later the fun of using a smartphone that was rooted. Thanks to your mother.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
first off, it is EASY to brick a nexus, especially if you go the toolkit route. why? because when you use a toolkit you never learn how to do anything, like fixing your device, or how to actually root properly. that said, if you do decide to go that way, ill expect to see a thread titled.. "my mom was right about me bricking my n6".
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toledodj:
Still a hassle though. Luckily, I've never heard of anyone hard-bricking a nexus

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

In that case, it's always wise to learn both methods. From my experience, as long as you unlock the bootloader and enable USB debugging, the root kit is foolproof
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtherrell:
It's possible her concern isn't about bricking but data security risks?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
both methods? theres is only one right method, pressing a button isnt a method. but, once you learn the proper method, feel free to use a toolkit. the problem is that a lot of newbies use toolkits, then run into easily fixable problems that they cant solve.

and it appears that you dont read much, as very many have bricked their nexus. most common way recently is by running into a bootloop without having your bootloader unlocked nor the option to unlock it enabled. thats a 100% brick, and its happened to very many people.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] internetpilot:
Not that I'm condoning defying your mom's explicit wishes, but she's not even going to know if you root it. Better to ask forgiveness after than permission before... ;)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
If you learn to do everything manually and not use a toolkit then it is quite hard to brick a Nexus device. BUT, I've not rooted my last two (N5 and this N6) as there's no point these days.

Bricking will occur if you try and take a short cut or don't follow instructions.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toledodj:
I mentioned unlocking the bootloader and enabling USB debugging when using the root kit
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
id even unlock my bootloader even if i never rooted.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toledodj:
Mine is always unlocked also
[Samsung Gear VR] ThaiM:
I don't have the actual Gear VR headset for my Note 4. But I did manage to get the Oculus app to work and running. Even managed to download some apps for it. But I can't get any of the apps to open. I get the message "To open this application, insert your device into your Gear VR".

Surely there must be a way to trick it into thinking it's inserted into the Gear VR headset so that I can use it on my generic VR headset.

Does anyone know how? My searches have only yielded results about editing the AndroidManifest.xml of which I can only assume to be the actual package apk file of each app. Which I don't think applies to what I'm trying to do.

Any ideas? Thanks.
[Samsung Gear VR] ThaiM:
Ok I was able to enable Developer Mode from within Settings->Gear VR Service->Manage Storage and tapping on the version number 7 times.

That was AFTER I installed Sideload VR and created an Oculus account to obtain an Oculus Signature file and from Sideload, downloaded a sample apk with my sig injected into it.

Which now allows me to run Oculus apps without needing to insert it into a Gear VR.

However, I've noticed that nothing moves. It's not sensing my phone's gyroscopes so all is useless. And further searching suggests that Oculus uses a built-in gyro head tracking system INSIDE the Gear VR. Which is strange. I've always thought the Gear VR was just a headset shell. Why wouldn't it use the phone's gyros for movements?
[Samsung Gear VR] Olywa123:
It's because the gear vr sensors are significantly more sensitive than standard phone gyros for a smoother and entirely better /more comfortable experience. The gear VR is far from just a shell, really is worth the cost.
[Samsung Gear VR] nente002:
I have the developerboard and flashed the open rift firmware on it. My pc detects it as a rift dk1. When I connect the board to my fone with a hist cable the board lights up nicely.

But I am unable to get oculus home running without a gearvr. (The chip on the board is the same as in the dk1 and I think the gear vr uses that chip too)

So any help getting oculus home running on my s6 with gear vr would be great!
[Samsung Gear VR] nente002:
nevermind

I've got it all working.. in developer mode I can start oculus home and the ST32f3 board works great. I have head tracking!!
[Samsung Gear VR] orateam:
Trying to develop on the oculus and i can't seem to figure out where to put the sig file. I put it in /assets and it still tells me it needs to have me plug it into my unit, which is a pain.
[Samsung Gear VR] nente002:
You must turn development mode on.

In android go to settings, apps, app manager, gear vr service. There tab the version a few times. If you have placed you signature file correctly you will see you are a developer. Then in gear vr service you now have a switch for developer mode. Turn it on and test away!
[Samsung Gear VR] russelm:
I succeeded in repeating what Thai did. I can now run Oculus VR app and access Oculus video or Netflix VR but I cannot navigate within each app on my AT&T Note 4. I beleive this is due to the reasons stated earlier that the gear VR has different / more sensitive sensors than the note 4 itself.

Any idea on how to adjust the sensor configs to work with the internal note 4 components?

Also I am trying to get this working to use with my kids Viewmaster VR goggles which are awesome just want to be able to do netflix and watch our own movies in VR.
[Samsung Gear VR] koreko:
i managed to enable developer mode but my gyroscope doesnt seem to be working with the oculus apps, is there any way i can enable my s6's gyroscope with the apps, or at least a way to control the apps, touching the screen doesnt really do much when the cursor is dead at the middle of the screen.
[Samsung Gear VR] nente002:
I don't think so but what you can do (I've done this and works great) is get a stm32f3discovery board for about 25$ on ebay. Then flash the open gear vr firmware and you are good to go.

And if you connect the board to a pc and install the open source foculus rift drivers and you have a gtx videocard you can play Dk1 stuff!!

http://www.roadtovr.com/can-now-clone-gear-vr-test-virtual-reality-apps/
[Samsung Gear VR] Ruud3DV:
Simply use a micro USB extension cable to connect the Gear VR with the cable to the phone, then you don't have to wear the headset but can still move it to see the response on the screen
[Samsung Gear VR] avadis99:
Oculus

Where does Oculus keep the apk files downloaded, there is this demo I downloaded and than uninstalled, but it keeps in my Library to install again and there is no way to get rid of it, is it possible to delete that file manually? Also where does Oculus download the apk files on your phone? Thank you
[Samsung Gear VR] DWULTIMATE:
Controller

I was wondering whether a bluetooth controller could navigate the gear vr without having to use the gyro sensors. This could be good as it removes the need for the board
[Samsung Gear VR] DWULTIMATE:
Apk

What apk did you use and how did you inject the sig file into it

Run The Netflix Gear Vear app in a Moto Max

I looking everywhere trying for any possible way to run the Netflix app for VR, in another devices out of samsung. I selling a generic low cost VR Headset and the people want to see Netflix in their device. There is a way to make this posible?
[Samsung Gear VR] Evan25lee:
How?
[Samsung Gear VR] nk33:
ok guys, i had a sneaky suspicion that the new gear vr "powered by oculus" was just a glorified cardboard box in disguise.

so i downloaded the oculus home apk (use google) then put vr in developer mode - works 100%. thanks guys
[Samsung Gear VR] Journey L:
For those who were stuck after doing all of the above, you have to install a quick shortcut app (playstore) that will allow you to launch the Oculus home app. This will then allow you to install all the other services and apps that make up the gear vr package. Then you're set!

PS I recommend getting a headset that has at least a toggle button because it is needed for navigation in the Samsung and Oculus apps.

Cheers!

hi, thats my first question in a new thread.

Some days ago i get a s3 mini in my hands and i wanted to get it root.

thats the original state when i get it.

[IMG="Stock results"]http://i.imgur.com/UHgMYiP.jpg[/IMG]

now i have flash the stock light v4 custom rom and inside the zip it have a boot.img file, so it flash a kenrel too. now i have

[IMG="custom rom"]http://i.imgur.com/Yq8KKRx.jpg[/IMG] .

i flash a custom recovery and counter goes to 1. (i dont care about it, i dont have any waranty so i can complete ignore this)

my main reason it was to fix battery drain issue on android os. it seem like i didn't change anything.

now i have download a file from official Samsung page. title is I8190XXANC2_I8190EURANC1_HOME.tar.md5 .so i can go back to stock.

My question is will this make my phone complete stock with everything like stock firmware, stock recovery, stock kernel? again i dont care about the counter. i just want to change some roms and then i want to know that i can revert back anytime.

also if there is a fix for battery drain issue even on stock i will appreciate it.

thanks in advanced.

[Micromax Canvas A1] rkinxda:
Today I updated my android one to android 6.0.1 build number MMB29K. Since some apps may crash after the update, I formatted my 32gb sd card as internal storage and reinstalled all apps again. But when I tried to install big games it says 'Insufficient Storage' eventhough there is plenty of storage available in sd card.

While installing apps some are getting installed directly into sd card and some apps are installed in phone memory. So I tried to move some apps from phone storage to sd card but there is no such option available which was previously there in android 6.0. Does anyone else facing the same issue..? or if this is the case for all users then there is no use of this feature.
[Micromax Canvas A1] SwapTel07:
Well I am also facing same issue...

Why don't you use link2sd app (root required).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Crossvxm:
I'm not so excited about posting a question as I see many have gone unanswered specifically in this variant's section, but here goes nothing.

I accidentally downloaded DU (Dirty Unicorns) for the T-Mobile variant by searching up DU for tje S4 on Google and sadly i forgot to specify "Sprint" or "L720". While there where no issues running the ROM, I decided I had to flash back to a Sprint based rom. Somewhere down the road I decided to flash back to stock (using the stock OD2 currently available) and now my device still shows up as an M919 with absolutely no data (seems to be roaming if I'm not mistaking).

I tried to reflash TWRP, flash Sprint based roms (AOSP will fix the issue temporarily, while TW roms such as Wicked X will experience the same issue), FULL wiping through TWRP, and then reflashing stock, but the issue persists. Does anybody happen to have a solution, suggestion, or idea? And a HUGE thanks in advanced.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Greatness_GH:

Sorry for neglecting my own thread to the both of you who answered, I'm just not liking all of the new updates to the XDA website which will crash my browser or freeze all my tabs due to an overloaded amount of crap and ads running in the background of the site (sorry XDA, huge fan, but not as of lately). Apart from that, I also experience issues on the mobile version and right now I cannot find the button to thank the both of you.

ANYWAYS, back on topic, I was able to solve my issue by flashing an older 4.4.2 based stock (NAE) THEN flashing the OD2 right after that. Oddly enough, I was able to update to OH2 (stagefright patch) over the air. Doesn't the ability to update OTA die once you trip the KNOX Warranty bit???

And thank you both. If somebody explains how I can hit your thanks button now that XDA has updated yet again, I will thank you both properly :)

There is a bug in the game that occurs very rarely. At some point when you match 3 toys in a row nothing happens. It happened only 2 times to different people and I could not reproduce it since.

[Android Apps and Games] Elatrans:
I was just looking for Christmas themed games :)

So I have few questions about the rules of the game: why should I match cards? It doesn't seem to affect the result score directly.
[Android Apps and Games] Netforza:
Hey Elatrans,

You match cards to create toys. The toys are then used by Santa Claus to fulfill Christmas wishes.

When Santa Claus successfully fulfills a wish you get a smile. The smile is your score.

Does it make sense? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Julerdom:
Good game. Nice graphics and sounds. Well, it would be wierd if Santa Claus and his deers were followed by Ozzy Osbourne song :laugh: Anyway I spent several hours playing this game. I have had a real pleasure. I liked this game very much. Good job.
[Android Apps and Games] Gudo Games:
Nice game! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Elatrans:
So does it make sense to match more cards when you have already those cards?
[Android Apps and Games] Netforza:
Thank you! :)

It's a pleasure to know that your hard work is appreciated.

Yes. You don't know what wish is coming next. The wishes are random and sometimes they can ask the same toy multiple times.

Also the tempo of the game becomes much faster so you need to make as many different toys as possible, while you can.

But you have to also think strategically. Sometime you have to concentrate on a specific toy that you lack.

Different levels require different strategies.
[Android Apps and Games] Elatrans:
But at the end of the level I usually have a lot of unused toys...
[Android Apps and Games] Netforza:
Yes it's true. You are often left with unused toys when you win. Do you have any ideas how to logically use them in the game?

Also there is a leader-board where total toys created in all games are compared, so if you make more toys you get higher in the leader-boards.
