Honestly sounds like a good idea..

Myself I decided to go for a while without any gapps and any other "store" installed on my phone.

My contacts are imported from a .vcf file which i update manually when needed.

I also have installed AFWall+ and i blocked the internet access to pretty much all the other apps including the system ones.. (everything i could get away with basically )

This could be a solution as well but it's rudimentary one at the moment.
[Security Discussion] nutpants:
I already don't have Google apps on my device.

Everything blocked with afwall+ using profiles so things only get net when I'm using them on the net.

Fdroid is where I get 90% of my software and from the internet for much of the other 10%

I have a old phone with nothing on it personal at all. Which has play store for the 3 or 4 paid apps I need, it does updates for them and a few free ones. I copy the apks over to my daily driver.

I constantly hound developers on play store to support offline devices and not to implement features that break the app when there is no internet. Even app I don't use lol.

(I have 2 tablets and far too many old phones.only two devices are online(some are local lan only))

Someone should start a offline foundation. But being online it might be ridiculous..
[Security Discussion] david68429:
I too removed contacts by using /system/app mover from f-droid. It was unintended as I wanted them as a user application but they wouldn't work like this and the icon vanished, that was fine with me for a long time. The other day I wanted contacts for signal (and telegram also won't work without them). I restored the application files from a backup,

For reference in /system/app/ the missing files were

SecContacts.apk

SecContactsProvider.apk

Other contacts programs like Simple Contacts can't run without a system permission called com.android.contacts and without those files in /system/app the permission doesn't get created at boot. The result being that no contact creation is possible.

What I would really like is a modified version of the system app that passes contacts data to the calling program depending on individual contact entry permissions with regard to each calling app; one list for telegram, another for signal etc. I gather that recent android versions above 6.0.0 have functionality to check calling application certificates so something along these lines should be possible. For earlier versions it might be necessary to switch between multiple contacts databases before starting the messaging app and also removing it from the autoboot list.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deville2001:
Hi

I own a huawei honor 3c (h30-u10) chinese version rom b149

I´ve installed recovery twrp and cwm but in recovery mode it cant recognize any sd. I´ve used different versions of twrp, different versions of cwm recovery, different sd cards, different brands, capacities, different format systems, etc but no result.

The problem happens only in recovery mode. In android mode the sd cards works fine.

Any help?

Thanks in advance.

[Samsung Gear VR] garyd9:
With google cardboard, I can use Google's "Cardboard Camera" app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.vr.cyclops) to create my own 360 degree 3D photos that I can view with google's cardboard app.

Is there something similar for use with the Gear VR apps?
[Samsung Gear VR] Rayan:
Just download the Surround Shot mode from within the Note 4 camera and then you will see them in the Gear VR 360 gallery
[Samsung Gear VR] developweb:
Surround Shot does a great job but is a 2D image.

I would just disable the gear vr service and use the Cardboard Camera viewer from the Gear VR if you want 3D. The KISS principle.
[Samsung Gear VR] Rayan:
Well that's exactly what Gear VR 360 degree photo really is. It's just a spherical photo same as Google Cardboard's. In other words, 360 or spherical photos taken with our Note 4 will always be flat spherical photos. For them to be really 3D, we would require a two lens camera.

Cheers ?
[Samsung Gear VR] garyd9:
The cardboard camera gives a 3D 360 image. I don't know how they do it, but it's really amazing. [MENTION=222842]Rayan[/MENTION], try the Google cardboard camera before assuming it's a flat image...
[Samsung Gear VR] developweb:
Not exactly. 3D photos have been taken for decades by taking 2 photos in succession and simply altering the camera position slightly for each one (shifting stance from left leg to right for example or by turning your camera as when using Cardboard Camera) and stereo viewing the two shots together. Using cardboard camera you clearly get a 3D image and not 2D as it is a 3D capture and not a spherical panorama shot like Surround Shot.

Sent from my SGH-I717D
[Samsung Gear VR] dorsefrith:
So the solution is to use cardboard app :)
[Samsung Gear VR] Rayan:
Thanks for the brief explanation, but yeah I know how 3D photos work, and what Google Cardboard Camera really does is a pseudo 3D panorama. Not a real one as with a two camera setup.

Amazing algorithms nonetheless, but not real 3D. You can compare with the 3D images and videos (taken with real 3D cameras) included in the Gear VR and you'll see what I mean.

[MENTION=336863]garyd9[/MENTION], I have used the Cardboard Camera several times and I know for a fact the output is not 3D. There's no parallax perception, just pseudo depth perception.

I rather have a full 360 degree panorama with Google Sphere or Samsung Surround Shot, than a pseudo 3D blurred on top and bottom panorama. However I like the audio feature of Cardboard Camera.
[Samsung Gear VR] garyd9:
I was pointing out that the statement earlier quoted was incorrect. The spherical photos taken with the note 4 (or note 5) are NOT the same as the photos taken with google cardboard. Regardless of if they are "real" 3D or "fake" 3D, the google cardboard images are still 3D.

Again, unlike the samsung camera ones, the cardboard camera ones APPEAR 3 dimensional when viewed. So, they are NOT the same.

BTW, being you are obsessing over technicalities, for imaging a still subject, two lenses are not required for 3D. It's only required that the still subject be captured from two perspectives, each approximating a view from each of the two eyes. So, if you take a picture of a still subject, move the camera a certain distance left or right (the distance approximating the distance between the eyes of an average person) and take another picture, they could be combined to be a "real" 3D image.

My best guess is that this is how google's cardboard camera works...
[Samsung Gear VR] Rayan:
Again, I do understand how that works. However I beg to disagree because in this case the images are taken from the same point in space (pivot), in other words no lens separation. In the case of Cardboard Camera, they are using algorithms to emulate a two image separation which for me does not seem 3D at all.

Have you ever used a Nintendo 3DS XL? The effect while not panoramic, is real 3D because those images and videos are actually shot with two cameras.
[Samsung Gear VR] garyd9:
You don't have to beg if you want to disagree. In fact, I'd prefer if you didn't beg. It's very hard to have a conversation with someone when they're on their knees. ;)

Ah, perhaps that's why it doesn't work out for you... I don't think it'd work well if the origin point of each frame was identical.

Instead of pivoting the phone, pivot your entire body. (When I did it, I just spun around in an office chair.) That will change the origin point of each "frame" of the photo. While not perfect, that allows subsequent frames of the overall image to closely simulate the distance between two eyes on a human.

In fact, the following blog post from google documents that usage (https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/step-inside-your-photos-with-cardboard.html)
[Samsung Gear VR] Rayan:
Ha, you are funny :silly:

Technically, holding out your phone and moving it around you in a circle creates the aforementioned pivot, because you are the pivot! :laugh:

Kidding aside, yeah I got your point and I have tried it several times while rotating in my office chair too and it does create a seamless panorama, but the so called "depth effect" I can barely see.

Now (while its not stated in the instructions) if you hold the camera with your arms extended while rotating to create more distance that becomes a radii and then the effect is a bit more perceptible. :good:

:silly:
[Samsung Gear VR] garyd9:
Odd... when I did it in my desk char, then displayed the image via google cardboard camera app using the gear VR (with oculus dev test mode enabled and the service disabled, of course), the effect was incredibly realistic (as long as I didn't look up or down.) It was impressive enough that I showed my workplace to my wife (who has never been there) and she was able to judge distances fairly well...

(actually, too well: her comment was "who's that attractive woman who sits only about 10 feet behind you? Does she have to be so close?)

I wish I still had the image, but I deleted it when I returned the gear vr.. (It didn't fit really well on my nose.. causing soreness. It also provoked me to get incredible motion sickness while standing almost completely still - which is pretty impressive.)
[Samsung Gear VR] Rayan:
Hahaha BUSTED!!! :D

How come you got dizzy with the Gear VR? Supposedly the Gear VR is less prone to create motion sickness than Cardboard because of its dedicated set of sensors that improve motion tracking with a smoother experience.

But yeah, some people are more susceptible to get dizzy with VR.
[Samsung Gear VR] garyd9:
It didn't start until the third day playing with it. I downloaded and started playing a demo of something called something like "dreadhalls." It seemed like a 1st person dungeon crawler. (I was really impressed with it..) After a couple hours with it, I was ready to lose my dinner. From that point forward, I couldn't handle anything beyond watching a movie.

Then I noticed that the soreness on my nose was leaving a big red mark. So, back to Best Buy it went.
[Samsung Gear VR] Rayan:
Too bad!

Maybe the included padded replacement could have helped you with the soreness?

Yeah, Dreadhalls is a neat game!

For me the dizziness went away the more I used it and getting dizzy (to some extent) is part of the fun. That's why I love Theme Parks :good:
[Samsung Gear VR] garyd9:
There wasn't any additional replacement padding.. just the single padding that was already attached to the gear VR.

I have to admit that I really liked the device. A completely portable "VR" rig (even if the resolution isn't great) is pretty nice. (Of course, it's only visual VR, but still damn nice.)

The other flaw I found with the Gear VR was that my kids (10 and 12) kept "borrowing" my phone. That made me remember that the gear VR really only should be considered an accessory for a specific phone (my note5) and a specific phone that has a sealed battery... so even if I would keep the phone for more than my normal 1 to 1.5 years, the gear VR would start to become useless as the sealed battery started to lose capacity.

(This last consideration wasn't really a factor in returning it, to be honest.)
[Samsung Gear VR] Rayan:
That's odd about the replacement "thicker" padding, maybe it only was included in the initial release?

You made a VERY VALID point to consider when using the Note 5 or S6 with the Gear VR! :(

Actually that's one of the main reasons why I didn't upgrade my Note 4 to the Note 5. :crying:
[XDA Assist] earnheart31:
I'm trying to avoid the hardware expense of a new signal booster, my initial idea is simply using a high-gain antenna that I could mount outdoors. I'm confident that if I could figure out how to pull this off, it's all that would be necessary to stabilize my connection. Problem i'm running into is finding out how to attach an antenna to a phone with a direct connection rather than these passive repeater style antennas that i'm not feeling much love for. Other options I've explored don't seem to pan out either, I can't simply use another device as a modem & place it strategically either, closest I can get to that is an additional hotspot service to pay for. It just seems like this should be a very simple fix & i'm overthinking it, can anyone help provide a solution? Thanks in advance

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] silvania34:
Just installed Santod's NuSenSeven Marshmallow ROM and I'm not sure if I'm missing something with the security settings or it's just the way it is.

In older ROMs, I've setup the pattern screen lock to lock after 3-5 minutes of inactivity. If in between those 3-5 minutes I put my phone to sleep using the power button and press it again to wake it up, the standby screen appears and I just swipe to unlock it without inputting the pattern.

However, when I do that in this ROM, there is no standby screen but instead I get the page I was on when I put it to sleep.

It's not a deal breaker because I'm loving the ROM but just wanted to know if it's possible.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Get the 6p. Its a better device. :D I went from Nexus 6-- 6p and the 6p IMO is actually a perfect size device. The way it fits in hand is great. I did quite a bit of reading and checked out 5x and 6p before I made my purchase but I highly recommend the 6p to anyone. Its the best Nexus made to date. :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
Get 6P for best size and feel. You might not even need the Nexus9 anymore. ;)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaftamle:
Just came from a gs4 which is slightly under 5 inch. No problems here adjusting to the 6p. Go to a retail store and check out the nexus 6. Is about the same height as the 6p. The main difference is the 6p is much more narrow from side to side making it much easier to hold as mentioned above. The 5x is OK, but the 6p is truly an amazing phone. Best looking phone available as well!
