[Sony Cross-Device General] NewBieSS:
Some people received the update from Lollipop to Marshmallow. And uploaded the update_package.bin 1.04GB for Xperia Z3 :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] IgorEisberg:
It's an update package, not a full firmware. You can't make an FTF with that.

Hello .

So after reading about the LG G Stylo i happen to see a lot of the stylos on different networks ie metro and T-Mobile have a simple apk to unlock their bootloaders . my question is , does this apk remain after updating to MM and if so can someone please upload the apk from either 5.1 - 6.0 ?

Second , after updating to MM can anyone even view their bootloader status ? Ive tried the button combo and the option reboot into bootloader from stock recovery without any luck .

I hard bricked my S6... it just started restarting itself then had a black screen with a constant red light .. I have seen JTAG threads. Anyone care to help me out explain how i can revive my phone using that or any other method. Thanks Alot

Method to hide "My Fire"/kindle name in statusbar? Root/xposed OK, but keep fireOS

The xposed module GravityBox LP works well for modifying a lot of statusbar elements, but the "My Fire" (or "John's Fire, etc etc) text is FireOS specific, and I haven't found a way to remove it. Any suggestions hugely appreciated!

not exactly same what you want, but give them a chance

Device options - Change your device name

type something like "-" (w/o quotes), " " spaces not working
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trclocke:
Right, but this requires you to keep the device registered to your amazon account, which causes other issues (namely automatic amazon app store updates where it'll flag some play store apps as "sideloaded" and prompt you every day to update them). I did a · for a while, but the pushed updates got super annoying, and GravityBox LP doesn't seem to recognize it to hide manually.

Plus a · still looks out of place, I'd prefer entirely blank :) I'll treat this as a bump as well as a reply I guess and hope someone else has an idea.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Believe you can block Amazon app store updates by killing the underlying service and modifying receivers to keep it from restarting (or try hibernating with Greenify). FireOS Skin tweaks prevent most GB status bar controls from working as designed.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raph6280:
Hello

I recently dropped my Note 5 N920C and the screen glass cracked a little bit in the upper left corner, unfortunately the display itself is dead and the phone doesn't boot up to the lockscreen. :mad:

I tried backing up all my data but cannot find a way to do this. It would be the best for me to make a full system backup, flash a stock firmware image and then send it to a Samsung repair center.

The Note 5 stays on the fading blue led when powering on and in Windows' Device Manager no Android ADB Interface Device appears.

When booting into TWRP recovery to connect via ADB Shell for making a backup I get following error: "CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE DEPENDENCIES: library "libc.so" not found"

Is it possible that the kernel tries to initialize a broken digitizer or screen and can't do it because of this hardware failure, so it doesn't boot properly?

And is there a solution to get the phone booting up for a backup of the data partition? (Backing up /data/data/ would be really good for me)

I'm not an expert, but could removing the screen or digitizer driver help to get rid of this boot loop? Maybe somebody who knows how to recompile a kernel could help me out? :p

BTW, currently I'm running Decent Rom Marshmallow and the SkyHigh MM kernel and in Android itself USB Debugging is enabled and trusted. I also have locked it with a fingerprint, but I'm pretty sure the fingerprint scanner does work (or at least I hope so)

You might be able to send it in for repair. Or take it to the phone vendor. My old s3 was rooted and my USB failed. And they swaped it on the spot.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raph6280:
It really depends on the repair center itself, my Galaxy S4 with a faulty battery also got formatted by them without a reason, so it's better to be safe and have a full backup of everything.

I normally would replace the screen by myself if the whole device wouldn't be glued together, in this case it's better to let them do the repair work

Get a new note 5 screen replacement and replace the old one. Problem will be solved.

Firstly, kindly refer to my first thread on 21st Feb.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/accessories/dont-waste-money-tgsp-galaxy-s7-t3319292

Again, please don't waste your money on TGSP for your galaxy S7 due to exaggerated curved edge. So I turn to choose a PET film for my S7. It's hard to find a full coverage screen protector for Galaxy s7 on amazon, and yes, be careful of those junk reviews. They are bogus! Filter out all products that full of junk reviews, I bought a Pleson edge to edge screen protector for my S7 on amazon. 2-Pack, 8 bucks, lifetime warranty, the most important thing is there is NO junk reviews. well, worth a shot.

I must say that I am lucky. This Pleson Galaxy S7 Screen Protector fits perfectly! Decent cutouts and the screen protector itself is curved, it covers my whole screen and no halo. Just check the images for my choice! Would recommend this awesome product!

[Galaxy S6 General] theronlas:
Fingerprints offer only decent security (too easy to obtain and relatively simple to fake), they are relatively easy to bypass (as shown). If you really need security, the only way to go is an encrypted device (assuming google didn't put in a backdoor for the NSA :P) with a strong passphrase. But to stop a drunk mate sending stupid texts to your boss, fingerprints are fine.
[Galaxy S6 General] ChongoDroid:
I'd like the ability to use pin and FP. Two factor use of fingerprints would be acceptable.
[Galaxy S6 General] DarkNate34:
First off, only a really complex/technical person would be able to pull this off. Chances of anybody else pulling this off are slim. You need equipment to extract the fingerprint smudges all over your phone first, provided they are of those that you used for unlocking your phone. Secondarily, there's no guarantee the fingerprints are the right ones or they are good enough for extraction.

I wouldn't worry about this at all.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Starhero:
I just got my note 3 from a 3rd party. Oddly, it had a t-mobile card in it which assuming is a an ability it has, stock.

My phone reports to me that it is infact n900p. It is 0x0 knox and is NOT rooted.

My concerns: a valuable and intelligent, with personal experience with this same phone but differnt carrier, friend, told me that tripping knox not only voids your warrenty, but prohibits you from flashing modem roms ever again.

From my research: rooting my already ok2 base rom,is possible, but no matter what,will trip knox..or is that only on custom roms? Can i enjoy xsposed?

Apparently,this update dropped recently aswell, so am i boned? Will i have no choice but to trip knox?

Is my friend correct about loosing more then my (non existent ) warrenty?

Honestly, if the samsung warrenty is all i am losing, i am in..cuz sprint doesnt care about knox, i already know that from getting replacement, i have tep.

I hate sounding so noobish, been in the scene since my first htc hero, i am not new to this...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vtech7634:
You know what I was thinking about the same thing since I just got my SM-N900P the other day from eBay and I rooted it then I put the TWRP recovery. I did a backup of my original stock rom after the rooting process and also I downloaded the stock rom from xda so worse comes to worse anything happens I'm downloading the stockrom and I'll start out fresh.

---------- Post added at 03:10 AM ----------
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Greaper88:
Well, I will tell you that my knox was tripped within a week of having my phone. I can also tell you that I have used Odin on at least three occasions to reflash stock so I could get the OTA updates, and have had no issues. Only thing to remember for when you flash back in Odin, you have to enter download from completely powered off. Two or three flashes might be necessary, but it can be done.

Just make sure you get the right ROM for the crrier you want to use (you probably already knew that). Hopefully you have your MSL.

So, the only thing to lose is your Samsung warranty...which is probably void anyways with you not being the original purchaser. Just have a copy of the stock ROM for that phone to Odin if you "send it south" by accident.

Your baseband version under device info is your modem version. I was able to successfully update it to ok2 after I flashed back to stock and got the OTA updates.

I want to create a profile that maximize the brightness when i launch lg g4 stock camera, but camera won't trigger the profile.

What i wanna know is if it is possible to make camera app to trigger profile any other way. Thanks in advance.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] MishaalRahman:
That's strange, are you sure you picked the correct "camera" app while inside the application context?

Yes, i did. I also installed google camera to test if i did something wrong with the profile, but I didnt. Gc triggers, but lg g4 camera wont.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] LeftyGR:
A workaround could be to create a task that opens camera, changes brightness settings. Then make a shortcut on home screen or triggered by gesture. Not sure about restoring the brightness settings, tho.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Lorrid13:
interesting. this could actually be perfect if it can restore the brightness back. can anybody think of a solution for that?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] LeftyGR:
Only thing I can think of would be if tasker actually responded to your cam closing. But that's a stretch, seeing as it won't respond to the app starting.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Lorrid13:
Desperate bump:(
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] LeftyGR:
Actually, for an exit, how about a shake gesture? You can set it to return system brightness levels and close the app. And if you happen to shake the phone while not using the cam, it won't really effect anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Beefheart:
I suggest you don't. Samsung apps are notorious for not scaling with dpi changes, which is why Xposed App Settings is a brilliant companion app as you can set certain problem applications (like contacts and phone) to default DPI whilst having the overall system set to what you want.

640 is the default dpi on the S7 Edge
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CuBz90:
Enable USB debugging in developer options

Connect S7 to your computer with the USB cable

Then enter the following command (assuming you have adb installed - if not, click here to find out how to install adb)...

adb shell wm density 560 && adb reboot

(You can change the 560 to whatever DPI you want)​

The device will then reboot and the new DPI will be set.​

You can get rid of the black bars going to 9MP as is said above. It's nothing to do with scaling. 12MP is a 4:3 resolution hence the black bars.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CuBz90:
Again, I wasnt talking about the black bars on either side of the image when set at 4:3. When changing DPI, some people are seeing that the camera does not scale to the new DPI and therefore leaving a black bar at the side and bottom of the image, even when using 16:9.
