[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
If you grab CAF's git repo, it contains all branches and you can switch between them with "git checkout".

Process is something, sort-of, like:

git checkout <candidate tag> - should be able to just use the tag right from the releases page

extract Samsung tarball onto the checked out source

git diff > somefile

Look at size of somefile - Note, somewhere someone has a script that automates this whole thing and I think does it by analyzing lines of code change instead of diff patch size

I forget the sequence of git commands to pretty much clean the tree - you can do a "git diff" without committing FYI.

Repeat the above steps for each candidate

You might be able to, instead, drop the Samsung source somewhere, tag it, then diff the Samsung source's tag and the CAF tag with something like

git diff <tag1> <tag2>

eliminating the need to repeatedly drop the source onto a tag.

Hi guys,

I rooted my Galaxy S7 and tripped KNOX. Today i recieved my Gear VR, Plugged it in, followed the inbstroctions to plug it out pressed next and.. error. The S6 from my brother works without a problem loads and installs everything... Can i flash the gear vr apps and software manually, or can i get the wizard back to work normally?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MiNoOo:
I'm using a rooted S7 with the VR with no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Illustraitor273:
i don´t even get the services installed...

could you send me the apks of the service so i can install them on my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MiNoOo:
All what I did is just plugging in the phone then I installed the app suing the VR itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Illustraitor273:
I know when iam trying this i get the error "netzfehler" in german :P how did you root? and did you scale your dpi?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MiNoOo:
No I did not change dpi .. maybe this is the reason ?

I rooted by installing TWRP then wiping data ( this is to get rid out the boot looping issue ) then flashed SuperSU.

an by the way, I'm using 930F version
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Illustraitor273:
Same here via twrp...

Tried to change dpi back to stock still same...

Damn no idea how to fix this
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] KenHua:
May be you can consider flashing back the Stock ROM and have your VR installed first then do the rooting again.

Did you dissable any apps with Titanium or Package Disabler Pro or something? There are certain apps/services that are required got VR

There are two Facebook services which you cannot have disabled, since Oculus unfortunately belongs to that crappy company now...

And now in addition my mobile internet is gone.

No idea how or why apn is checked smartphone resetet but still no internet and i don´t even know why...

Dos anyone of you kinow where i can download a stock kernel?

Edit: Found it internet works, but vr service still won´t start :´(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Illustraitor273:
Well i am all out of ideas...

i installed the apps of my brothers s6 but no luck... everytime i plug the s7 out of the gear vr and press next the same error pops up... maybe if someone could spare vr services backed up via titanium backup it would work... for anything else i guess i have to wait for a software update or fix or whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] daibaron:
same pb here ! it was working ok before i rooted & Xposed it after a full reset.

i was not able to reinstall it because of internet error
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Illustraitor273:
Somehow i am glad to hear that i am not the only one with that Problem.

Did you play around with the dpi?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] daibaron:
I read another thread on Oculus community forum... this issue occurred before even on other phones...

some says it could be coming from Oculus servers.

I tried to logcat the app ID 10072 that tried to read the DNS before displaying the network error.

also tried...

to fully reset the device

to run the app with/without Sim card,

with a VPN

deleting cache...

no luck so far

I read that the Facebook app has to be installed or enabled can someone confirm this ? and try to log in and launch the setup wizard ?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Illustraitor273:
Will try these Tricks and facebook as soon as i come home.

I tried to backup the services from an s6 and install it on my s7 bit no luck...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Tuningszocske:
No, you only need com.facebook.appmanager and com.facebook.system services. Not the Facebook app itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] daibaron:
I see both but i don't know what to do or what to trigger... another dead end

edit:

How do I turn on App Manager and Installer ?

To turn on the App Manager and Installer, tap on the "Settings" application, then "Applications" and finally "Application manager". Make sure you have chosen the "All" category and find the following applications:

com.facebook.appmanager (App Manager)

com.facebook.system (Installer)

Tap into each and make sure they are enabled.

Unable to find com.facebook.system

If you are on Android OS 6.0 (Marshmallow), com.facebook.system may not be visible. Please try the following steps:

1. Navigate to Settings

2. Tap on Application Manager

3. Tap the More menu in the upper right corner

4. Tap Show System Apps

5. This will make com.facebook.system visible and allow you to enable it.

The App Manager and the Installer must be enabled before Gear VR apps can be installed and updated on your mobile phone.

Hi guys, I'm getting my Gear VR next week. Having uninstalled those two Facebook packages through Titanium Backup without making a backup first, this begs the question as to how I can get them back without reflashing the stock image... Are there any apk's available that I can install? I wouldn't like to go through reinstalling/configuring the system the way I like it again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] daibaron:
Resinstall the firmware over the existing installation... re-root, etc.

I think it would be a workaraound if someone with a working gear vr service app / occulus app, everything neccesary for a working vr experience would back up those and we make a flashable zip so that our services stuck at the point "install" come to the point "everything allright"

Samsung VR looked promising... this is a dead end i guess.

i still dont understand that after an upgrade and a full wipe, and no root, this does not change the network error
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Billyvnilly:
So I'm to understand you're essentially stock (factory reset), using your region's firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] daibaron:
it was originally working this way before i rooted it... i also tried a UK firmware but i never changed the CSC

My guess is the network error comes for Oculus servers side... frankly i dont even know why they would bother forbiding the use of the Samsung VR depending on the country you are or when you are traveling...

The product should work just because you bought it that's all.

There is something deeper we don't understand yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Illustraitor273:
I am starting to believe the problem is knox... I can´t believe that Samsung and Oculus are pulling of this ****. If i want to root my phone that decision is mine if my warranty is void ok fine with me. But locking services for users? Ridicolous

The funny thing i just discovered is the cardboard app which is supposed no to work is working very well on my gs7 (nothing disable or hacked)

that's what i call the opposite of what to expect.

You still have to disable the Gear VR service to avoid the launch of the wizard (which is not installing anything because of the network error)

How did you manage to do this ^

i'm not able to to switch on the app

but the service looks enabled, anyway

which rom rev are you using to have it working ?

I have just disabled this app and many more apps with Package Disabler Pro. No root, original firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] daibaron:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Illustraitor273:
So after collecting Information Occulus Send me this: "Their phone likely won't install correctly unless they put an official Samsung firmware. Rooting is changing the firmware to a custom ROM." Are there other sources than Sammobile to get Samsung Firmware? Like from Samsung itself? Because when i look i only find software for branded phones.

EDIT: I did it!!!!! I Installed KIES on my PC and updatet via KIES and now it is Installing!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] daemmon:
I can confirm that Gear VR works with rooted S7. I have reflashed the stock image, gone through the rooting process again and cleansed my phone of unwanted software, being careful this time not to remove the facebook services.

The first 2 times I tried plugging the phone in, Gear VR gave an error. After that, the phone asked me to install an update to some gear service (don't remember the exact name). Did that and now it's smooth sailing. I can't say I really enjoy using it though, as the phone gets terribly hot and I can't get the damn thing to adjust nicely to my eyes - I'm always getting a somewhat blurry picture.

Hey there

So I've managed to do everything on the checklist to my hd8 rooted and running a custom launcher. I did read somewhere about putting the launcher in a certain system folder which I haven't done, but it seemed to work just fine have a few installed and disabling the fire launcher and then setting another as a default.

Unfortunately Widgets don't seem to be working on any of them. Am I correct in thinking this is because FireOS fundamentally doesn't have the right frameworks to support this, so there's nothing we can do about this?

cheers

[General Questions and Answers] MisterMonitor:
Hello,

Im at war with my sony walkman x1050 for a few days now.

The problem is with playlists

I tried winamp,media monkey, walkmanMTP, WMP.

When I sync playlist(I select playlist, right mouse click, select add to sync list) and then sync to walkman with windows media player 12, But this action only transfers songs to music folder, playlist is not created.

I downloaded Sony MediaGo program. It transfers playlist to my walkman, I can see it in Computer> Walkman>PLAYLISTS> myplaylist.pla . But in my walkman, I select Playlists and it gives me an error : "no playlist available. please connect to compliant software or device and transfer playlists".

Why it gives me this error if there's a playlist (myplaylist.pla) in playlists folder ?

With walkmanMTP program, when i make playlist and press Sync, I imediately get error: error syncing playlist.

Winamp, mediamonkey creates .m3u playlists in my walkman, which I read is not supported by walkman.

Maybe someone can help me, because it's so annoying, and I really want to have playlist on my walkman:/

You need to say which version of Android you have on there and especially which company you use. Is it a sprint/boost/virgin or a tmobile/metro pcs? If you have Marshmallow and a sprint variant you can't root, only temp root and no roms at all. If you have a tmobile/metropcs then you can root and they have a rom or two, BUT you probably should not use kingroot NOW as they don't have Marshmallow root YET. You can go to androidforums to the lg g stylo and it has a tighter following and you can readup and get some easier answers

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] kitsuneshoujo:
I read an article that it's because the phones nowdays have cpu scaling so they aren't eating up all the battery. When you're not using your phone, the cpu kinda hibernates, but if you start typing, it speeds up, then slows down when you pause, then speeds up again. And it takes a tiny bit for it to fully speed up, so the lag comes from the cpu scaling.
