Ah, I didn't see it there. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] bouchigo:
It's cool. Your post might get a little more traction since the post title makes it pop :good:

I should have added that it only applies to purchases made from Google, not from Huawei.
[Nexus 6P General] Phamwich:
Hm. How likely do you think we'll be able to request a price adjustment if we bought it from Google?
[Nexus 6P General] big gulps huh?:
When did you buy it? They did it for me over the online chat but again, I just purchased last night. Your mileage may vary.
[Nexus 6P General] bouchigo:
If you purchased it, and received it (receive date is what matters) any time from November 27th up until today, you will be fine. Just go to the Google website and contact them through chat. They will adjust the price for you.

Scroll to the very bottom and click on CONTACT US. You will have to login to your Google account if you are not already logged in: https://support.google.com/store/answer/2411741
[Nexus 6P General] Phamwich:
Ah, yeah, I placed the order for mine on 11/6 (and that particular order shipped before my original pre-order even processed...) so I doubt they'll honor the request, but I'll ask anyways. I feel like my order was just long ago enough that they won't do the price adjustment, but the $50 off promotion is just close enough to my order date for it to sting.
[Nexus 6P General] skyo12:
Just a heads up, if you bought your phone from Project Fi, the promo is apparently not eligible. I bought mine from Project Fi on Sunday and just saw this promo so I called to get the credit and had to jump through quite a few loops in order to get credit.
[Nexus 6P General] AfroCreame:
Wish they would credit me the $18.99 I paid yesterday for overnight shipping since it's free now...
[Nexus 6P General] meanhoe:
This did not work for me. They told me only orders made from 12/1 to 12/15 are eligible for price adjustments. They did say I can just return my phone and order a new one. Placed an order for a new one. Should arrive tomorrow or the next. Guess it's time to make a nandroid backup.

Thanks for the heads up on this information.

FYI: I ordered on 11/27 and received it 11/30. ugh. 1 freaking day.
[Nexus 6P General] MATTHEWLONG:
Project Fi and they refunded shipping and $50
[Nexus 6P General] Elsydeon:
I ordered and received mine mid November assuming the price wouldn't drop so quickly, given Google discounted only the 5X early on. And now I see this...get facked Google. This is exactly why Google and Android as a whole will never come close to Apple when it comes to brand cachet. I can barely understand them discounting the 5X so quickly, but given the 6P isn't even 3 months old yet, and is their flagship phone, it's unbelievable they're already offering such a discount on them.

Say what you want about Apple's ecosystem, at least their devices don't go straight into the bargain bin in a matter of 3-6 months. The amount the Nexus 6 tanked on Black Friday on Amazon was just ridiculous, relative to what it originally costed just a year ago.
[Nexus 6P General] dokukinoko:
Yes same here, there are multiple posts on Reddit confirming the Dec 1 date from Google Customer Service reps (perhaps 15 day price match policy). I ordered a 6P on 11/27 as a Christmas gift for someone. I submitted a return for it today and ordered another one to get the -$50 discount. I know this is cheap, but it hasn't even been opened since it's a Xmas gift. Thankfully Google covers shipping.
[Nexus 6P General] biscuitownz:
I just ordered one today. Will be coming from an LG G4. Was originally going to get the 5x but didn't like the specs of it too much and the 6p was a bit too expensive. Can't wait :)

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lialotta:
Hi y'all,

I did two days of thread research but haven't found anything similar to my problem so far, so here it goes...

Running stock xperia android 5.1.1 14.6.A.0.368, UB, twrp, rooted with flashtool, adb and fastboot on pc (win10)

Wanted to take a try on a custom rom but that didn't go so well.

First thing I did was flashing rom (Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.9-20151120-amami.ftf.zip) from recovery after a full wipe.

I typed over the recovery results:

(after the RR ascii art)

patching system image unconditionally...

detected filesystel ext4 for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system

flashing superSU...

detected filesystel ext4 for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system

unmount of /system failed; no such volume

script succeeded: result was [0.200000]

updating partition details...

...done

Got into a bootloop, lost recovery etc, so installed original firmware with flashtool, acquired root & recovery again and restored data from a nandroid backup.

After that I did a few other attempts, and tried to install a kernel but I'm not sure how to install the kernel that's in the ResRemix thread.

http://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z1...eria-z1c-resurrection-remix-lollipop-t2996231

kernel:

https://github.com/SlimRoms/kernel_sony_msm8974

What did I miss?

Fanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
Try a full wipe, if you didn't already, (system, data, and caches), then try again. I've flashed RR more than once, and no trouble. I guess if you want, (but I don't think you have to), you can extract boot IMG from the RR zip, and use fastboot to 'fastboot flash boot boot.img', (or use Rashr), but I think RR comes with CM recovery, so make sure you get a TWRP IMG and 'fastboot flash recovery (twrp filename).img' right after, so you can get into recovery to flash the ROM.

Not sure what went wrong, but just make sure you have the right RR file for your phone and try again. It should be OK.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lialotta:
I tried it as well with the Z1C CM12 rom, and had the exact same response in recovery. And i'm pretty sure the roms are both right. Any idea on what [unmount of /system failed; no such volume] means or how I could figure out to solve it?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
Don't know much technically, but seems like it's just saying there's no /system to unmount, (maybe since it didn't flash properly to begin with). What's your TWRP version?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coeurdefleur:
I have TWRP 2.8.7.0, all the other recovery functions work fine though. I just find it weird I get the exact same response after flashing two completely different rom zips. Any thoughts on that?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
Very strange. I've seen others report same thing, but it usually is just attributed to bad flash or bad download, and works after another try. One thing I guess you could try is after full wipe, go to 'mount', and check system. Also try different recoveries, etc... Have you updated your bootloader through Emma? Then you can use new recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lialotta:
I went into recovery, and 'system' was indeed unchecked. So thought that was the problem, checkmarked it and flashed again, but I still get the exact same response as before, somehow it the 'mount system' option unchecks itself everytime.

I downloaded Emma, and saw that there two firmwares available for my device: 14.5.a.0.270 and 14.5.a.0.236, so both older than what I'm running currently (.368). I'm not sure how to update my recovery through Emma though, any help on that maybe?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
.236 is newest, (check the numbers in the middle). To update bl with Emma, just connect phone and look at the drop-down menus. One of them is 'ta update'. You can do it whether you update rom or not. Once your bl is updated, use fastboot or Rashr app to flash a compatible recovery img, (I can link you one if you want), then you can enter new recovery by starting with phone off, then pressing power and volume down at the same time. Release both when you get vibration. Try to flash your rom again from there.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casey Campanile:
As of right now, there are no custom recoveries or roms for the Lg Tribute 2. However, you can root your phone with kingroot. Go to kingroot.net on your phone download the app and follow the instructions to root.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NonfatGinger:
I do not recommend king root. I've used it, and have heard from others who did as well, and it did nothing but brick my poor device... Furthermore, it is more bloatwarey than the bloatware I tried to get rid of. Seems very counterproductive to me.

My suggestion is, and always will be, Wondershare. They've never let me down. Successful root on every device I've tried.

Hello there

I have about 25 google nexus 5 phones to be distributed to some people. I installed all the necessary apps and removed some system apps from one of the phones. Now i want the rest 24 phones to have the same composition as the first one. I tried creating a cyanogenmod backup coping it to the other phone and restoring it - then the phone keeps on showing the loading screen for long time so i got back to recovery mode and made a factory reset and tried to start the phone. unfortunately it is not opening - just shows the loading screen. it has been more than 15 minutes now.

Please help me on how i could get access to the phone and how I can clone my "customized phone" to all the others.

Any help and suggestion is welcome. Thank you
[XDA Assist] xunholyx:
Cyanogenmod backup? So you are rooted, yes?

Install TWPR Recovery on the first phone, and use that to make a backup.

Then install TWRP on your other phones, and make a backup on them to create a backup folder. You'll need to unlock the bootloaders on all of them first.

Transfer the backup from the first phone into the backup folders on the others, and restore the backup in recovery (TRWP).
[Sony Xperia E3] Xelior:
Hi everybody, I have root access on my phone but I still can't install on SD. I've read that Kit Kat has a bug that impedes the correct use of the SD card. I tried a solution I've seen on this forum about installing big games on SD but I'd like to just transfer some apps I have like Chrome, for example. It takes up more than 100MB.

Do you know of any way of getting this done?
[Sony Xperia E3] macgyver_classic:
As u have root access, you can use app like link2sd, it can move any app to external sd, but use it wisely, moving some system app can cause FC..

Also u can use xposed framework and install the module named "kitkat sd card full access" which will solve the android 4.4.4's write issue to sd card..
[Sony Xperia E3] Xelior:
I've installed the module and rebooted my phone but if I try to set the default install location to the SD card it doesn't change. I use ROM toolbox lite that gives you the possibility to change it using Apps2SD but I can only leave it to "Auto".
[Fire TV Android Development] bash-ninja:
This is the XPAD linux kernel module, built for the Fire TV 2. Kindly enough, Amazon built their kernel with module support, so we can load modules. We'll have to wait until we get kexec before we can fully replace the kernel.

Note: I added modules for the Fire TV 1, but I don't own a Fire TV 1 so they're unsupported. I've had others tell me they work great though.

Demo Video

Prerequisites:

rooted amazon fire tv 2

Instructions:

Download the Zip and extract the two modules

Copy the modules to your fire tv wherever you like

Open a shell.

Type these commands, accept root permission on your FireTV if prompted:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_045e_Product_0291.kl /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_045e_Product_02d1.kl
chmod 644 /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_045e_Product_02d1.kl
mount -o remount,ro /system
reboot

When your FireTV comes back up, open a shell again.

Type these commands, accept root permission on your FireTV if prompted:

su
insmod <module location>/ff-memless.ko
insmod <module location>/firepad.ko

Your controller should instantly work. Upon every reboot you'll have to 'insmod' the modules again.

A nice way to deal with this is D4rKn3sSyS's Module Loader Apk from 2011.

You can find that here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1228605

Basically, you need to give it permanent root access, add your modules in the list, save them, and go into the settings of the app to enable it on boot. (Use the Menu key on your remote to enter the settings)

Enjoy!

Use at your own risk!

Thanks goes to:

zeroepoch - For root. You rock, my friend.

xpad developers - They coded the module. I just changes a few function names to make it work on the firetv2.

DIY/Build Instructions

Only if you want to build yourself. Prebuilt modules are found in the post above.

These instructions are geared towards a linux machine, though you may be able to adapt it to a windows environment.

Build Setup

Download and extract the AArch64 compiler

http://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads

Clone the repo

$ git clone https://gitlab.com/miketweaver/android_kernel_amazon_sloane.git
$ cd android_kernel_amazon_sloane/

Setup the build environment

$ export PATH=<path_to_ndk>/toolchains/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin:$PATH

Create the kernel config

$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-android- mt8173_sloane_defconfig

Set Firepad to be a module in the kernel config

$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-android- menuconfig

Device Drivers -> Input Device Support -> Joysticks/Gamepads

Hit <M> to set "X-box Gamepad Support" as a module

(optional) Hit <space> to add "X-Box gamepad rumble support (NEW)" and "LED Support for Xbox360 controller 'BigX' LED (NEW)", if desired.

Build the kernel and modules

$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-android- -j<num_cores>

Copy the kernel and modules

$ cp arch/arm64/boot/Image <target_dir>/
$ find . -name '*ko' -exec cp '{}' ~/<target_dir>/ \;

The module you're looking for is "firepax.ko" and (optional) "ff-memless.ko".

Clean kernel sources (optional)

$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-android- mrproper

[Fire TV Android Development] Sizzlechest:
I wanted to report that it works on my FireTV 1. BTW, how do I handle button mappings? I tried it with Pacman 256 and Crossy Road and the controls don't seem to work correctly. Pacman 256 works with the analog stick, but not the dpad. Crossy Road doesn't work at all.
[Fire TV Android Development] bash-ninja:
Did you setup the .kl file? If you have, and rebooted, it should work just like the xbox 360 controller.

adb shell
$ su
$ mount -o remount,rw /system
$ cp /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_045e_Product_0291.kl /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_045e_Product_02d1.kl
$ chmod 644 /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_045e_Product_02d1.kl
$ mount so remount,ro /system
$ reboot

I'm not home, but when I am, I'll take a look at those games and see if they work with the mapping I already have.

Edit: [MENTION=3338723]Sizzlechest[/MENTION], I tested out Crossy Road. It didn't work with my controller, but neither did the generic controller I plugged in via USB. Whatever is causing issues in that game it's not just the Xbox Controller, but it's many others. There's something wrong with their app. (Makes sense pac-man 256 is having issues too because it's made by the same people) The apps I've tried and work are Asphalt, Minecraft, Moonlight Gaming, KOTOR, Prince of Persia, and Lego Star Wars.
[Fire TV Android Development] YoColdRain:
I've never hooked up 360 controller, but for xbox one does this work wireless or wired usb?
[Fire TV Android Development] bash-ninja:
Plugged in via USB. The only devices that support the Xbox One wireless dongle are Windows 7, 8, and 10.

As far as I'm aware, no one has reversed engineered the Wireless dongle yet.

The 360 works wireless or wired, I've been told. I don't own a 360 controller.

[Fire TV Android Development] bash-ninja:
After chatting with [MENTION=5050990]godlike1984[/MENTION] it looks like his controller is registering as a covert forces controller (idVendor=045e, idProduct=02dd) instead of the regular xbox controller (idVendor=045e, idProduct=02d1). I'm going to see if I can get access to one to fix it. It may take awhile. If someone has a covert forces controller and has it working, let me know.

No problem. Making themes kind of gets a little addicting though. At last check I think I had around 250 of them that I made. It's a good thing you can store them to the root of your SD card or all my phone would have on it would be themes and nothing else.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehunt33r:
Hi everyone,

So I've had my 6P for a bit over a month now. However I never got it to Doze much (maybe once a night, but I lost 4% for a 6h night so I'm not sure).

The day before yesterday I installed Greenify to try to use Aggressive Doze. No result. Today I rooted and installed Naptime, and no Doze either in Aggressive mode.

Is there something I've missed? I've noticed my Awake graph is weird, phone always waking up.. (see screenshots).

Should I clean flash? I already wiped cache.

By the way I'm not getting terribly bad battery life either but still. I think I can squeeze a bit more. I am always between 2 and 3h of screen off.

Thanks a lot!
