[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepon144:
Hi there,

I am trying to connect to ad-hoc networks from my Xiaomi MI2A (AOSP 4.4.4) but I cannot even see these type of networks. I modified the file /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf, adding:

network={

ssid=" ad_hoc_name"

scan_ssid=1

key_mgmt=NONE

priority=1

mode=1

}

But it did not work.

Any suggestion? Any patch?

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi friends, My friend just got factory unlocked samsung galaxy note5.He wants to root it.I checked and read about rooting and found that odin would be the easiest way to do rooting.Right now phone is at Android 5.1.1 , baseband version-N920W8VLU1AOI1 , build number-LMY47X.N920W8VLU1AOI1.

I found odin file for this build at autoroot.chainfire.eu. But his phone is also showing update (N920W8VLU2AOK5) available.Any suggestions how should i proceed?Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pimpl:
Update to 6.0.1 and find AUTOROOT-file for the new Version.. Note, each time you load a new Stock-FW, you loose ROOT-permissions..

But be carfeul! Do NOT root the updated Note (6.0.1.) with the AUTOROOT-file for 5.1.1. unless you want a Boot-Loop..
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninja_zx11:
Thanks for the reply.

But i couldn't find auto root file for the available update (N920W8VLU2AOK5).
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninja_zx11:
Is available update that i mentioned (N920W8VLU2AOK5) 6.0.1? or phone will take more updates automatically after above said update untill it reaches 6.0.1?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcor:
hi ,

No , it's still Android v5.1.1.( according to this info .) Read this about update vers.

http://www.galaxynote5update.com/ota-update-n920w8vlu2aok5-for-canadas-galaxy-note5-sm-n920w8/

If you root your device ,you won't get any further OTA updates (,for that device .!)

Also Knox will be tripped.

Warranty void etc .

If you do get a OTA ,you will/might just soft brick device...!!

Bottom line ....

when you root .You have to flash that device official Rom with Odin ( to get further updates )

I suggest you read up more about particular device ,

eg .if it has a locked bootloader .Correct rooting method for that particular .etc.

Best is if you do not understand fully ,check YouTube for an instructional video on that device .

I can "conclude" from your post /enquiries ,you need to "read" up some more ...!!

Good luck .

Hello all,

So I am coming from an iPhone. Back on android after 4-5 years. A lot has changed. I saw a lot of beautiful homescreens around and want to replicate those. But none of them have steps/settings/instructions.

I have Nova Launcher Prime installed and I know where to get Icon Packs. Can someone point me at any good resources/tutorials?

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Chris_84:
You can take a look at mycolorscreen for example. I'm personal using the launcher they published. It's called themer. You can find it on playstore.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] ekjl:
You can't really 'theme' Nova Launcher, in that there isn't a button you press to apply themes. Everything is done manually.

You will probably need a combination of widgets, icon packs, and wallpaper to get the theme you want.

Nova Launcher is meant as a replacement launcher that is both simplistic and offering more options at the same time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] DesignGrits:
If your into themes, there are a lot of theme communities on Google+. Many of the themers including myself have been launching our themes to the Play Store. Mycolorscreen used to be popular, but its slowly dying and the site has been having tons of issues, not maintained from the looks of it. I would look at Google+, deviantart, behance, dribbble, etc. I always post instructions on the Play Store for my themes, it just varies from themer to themer on how detailed they want to be.

As far as apps go, Zooper widget is still popular for widget creation, but the new boy in town has been KLWP and KWGT, pronounced "Kustom Wallpaper" and "Kustom Widget". KLWP is a live wallpaper editor, essentially its a full theme creator with built in "one click" apply/backup. It allows for animations, formulas, touch input and much much more. The best part is that its a live wallpaper with low battery consumption that makes it super easy to setup themes without going through so much hassle of setting up everything. When it comes to theming nothing compares to KLWP out there right now. KWGT is KLWP's little brother which is focused on just widget creation but without the animation support since its not based on screens.

Nova is still the king of launchers in the enthusist area, since it sticks close to Googles design language but with tons of cool features.

I would say, go to the Play Store and find a themer's profile like mine or someone else, and click on one of their themes, and the Play Store will show similar apps on the Play Store which will give you a way to see themes similar to the one your selected. Zooper widget packs normally have zooper in the title of Play Store themes, same with KLWP and KWGT. So you can easily find themes by searching by those keywords. Google+....just search and you will find tons of people posting themes, tons of communities with FAQ and tutorial sections, so much help from other users and developers on there that its worth checking out.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] o0adam0o:
Go to settings. Search themes. It will take you to a Samsung store with free themes. You can get many themes there thag will change settings... Keyboard... Messaging... Etc.. I personally like the material dark theme. You can search within the Samsung store.

http://www.xda-developers.com/material-and-material-dark-hit-samsungs-theme-store/

Most of the teeming is done with widgets. The popular ones are UCCW and Zooper from the Play store. Once you have those installed you can search "zooper widget" or "uccw widget" and you will see different widgets for those apps.

There is a general Android Theme section on xda. There you will find all kinds of widgets and icons that aren't on the store. You can also browse other people's creations.

Hello, my nexus 4 stucks on the booting animation. I have hard reset the device following google instructions and already contacted google and lg, but their solution is to send it to repair, and since is out of warranty it won't be covered.

I've read threads of people having this problem with custom roms, but my phone has the stock image and I have never rooted it. Does anybody have an idea of what's going on? Will root it and install a custom ROM solve that?

Thanks

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siyangqiu:
Hi!

Personally, I find 21 MP to be a bit excessive in terms of how much space pictures take up, so I'm wondering how I should downscale my pictures from this phone.

1. Lowering the resolution inside the camera app.

2. Get another app to shrink my pictures after I take them.

My concern is that if I set a lower resolution inside the camera app, I will only be using a portion of the pixels on the sensor or the app might use a really fast compression algorithm that produces low quality output. Does anyone know what really happens when you don't select the highest resolution inside the camera app?

Thanks in advance!)
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yungbasedprophet:
I shoot in 16x9 which lowers resolution to ~16 mp
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elite001mm:
If you're rooted then I can help you, if not then I can't.

If you are rooted you can enable developer options within the moto camera app (not to be confused with developer options within the phone settings).

There are a few ways to do it but the way I used was the xposed module "moto checkbox".

If you use it just go to camera options and enable development settings (it says something like that). Be sure to go to statusbar options and check " use AOSP icons" too, else it'll replace your data indicator icons.

Don't touch anything else within the module because it wasn't made for our phone. It sounds like a lot but it really isn't.

I think you can download a modified moto camera somewhere but this was the easiest way for me since I use xposed anyways. If you can find a modded apk then you won't need root I don't think.

Anyways, once you get it working there'll be a little ladybug looking button when you swipe out the settings wheel in the camera. Click it. From there you have access to lots of settings. You can change resolution like you want and it doesn't use crappy compression. You can do this for video too, and the camera preview itself, and much more. Here's some screenshots. Have fun :good:
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siyangqiu:

Can i flash it on android one device running on 6.0.1
[Android General] rpangelov:
Yes. If you have any issues, please let me know!
[Android General] hiropandaz:
Hi, i tried to install the open source version on my kltedv running resurrection remix 6.0.1 however it is still not working. The init.d shows the kernel doesnt support init.d, and v4a drivers status is abnormal. It is also cause screen freeze and random restart. Any ideas? Your kind input would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
[Android General] rpangelov:
I've just readed some info about the ROM you use. As it is based on Cyanogenmod I assume there is root manager builded in. Maybe it is disabled as CM root access is disabled by defaults? Look at: Settings -> Developer Options -> Root Access - turn in on by "Apps only".

Then just follow this steps:

1. Start Universal Init.d

2. Turn it off from the toggle button

3. Run test from the button on the bottom of Universal Init.d

4. If ask for root permissions, grant them!

5. Turn Universal Init.d ON from the toggle (step 2 you turned it off)

6. Restart your device and check once more!

If you still have any issues, please let me know!

Greetz,

Angelov

Hi Angelov, many thanks for your helpful instruction. I couldnt get it work with open source version. However it is working now after i install V4A legacy version. Many Thanks once again.
[Android General] rpangelov:
You are welcome! As I mentioned in the instructions - the legacy script will work always, but I don't like the implementation of it. I am working on new version of the opensource script, so there won't be any issues of that kind. When I am ready I will upload it here after updating my first post.

[Android General] Primokorn:
This "universal" fix has been shared several months ago on XDA and a simple root shell is enough to use V4A in enforcing mode.

FYI init.d is deprecated now but it's not related to CM. Use su.d instead.
[Android General] rpangelov:
Can you provide me a link to this universal fix you are talking about?

PS: init.d is deprecated in AOSP, i get that. Please read my first post once more, obviously isn't clear enough. Using su.d will result in using closed source tools to manage your Selinux policy's. As I mentioned it above - please support open source software. Every closed source root app has to be threaten as security risk. My opinion...
[Android General] Primokorn:
Check the official V4A thread for instance. Others have opened threads in device specific forums or in the App & Games forum.

Have a look at this thread, it might interest you: http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/wip-selinux-capable-superuser-t3216394

FYI I do support open-source free/libre softwares, as much as I can.
[Android General] rpangelov:
I've seen phh's SuperUser but I didn't tried it - this is one of my tasks for this/next week.

As I've tried the most scripts, I didn't liked all the actions needed to be taken before running the .zip script in order to get viper working. I compile my own Cyanogenmod and I don't use gapps. Almost all apps I use on my device are opensource as I use F-droid as my only market (well... I need whatsapp, but I download it just from the website). Anyway... Cyanogenmod has it's own root manager builded in.... so why I need to install one more, which contains closed source tools in it? That is also the reason I don't advice people to use it... and I don't see that as solution to my problem. AOSP is opensource, but nowadays it is very dependent on some closed-source elements and I want to wipe them all out and use open source alternatives for. I hope you understand why using su.d isn't solution in this case. You just make your self and others dependent on one more closed source app, so I don't get where is the support for open source? I think that opensource script is good solution to the problem without using any closed source tool.

To make it easy as possible - just flash the .zip and you are ready to go, I included the latest version of Chainfire's SuperSu in the legacy script, so you don't need to install it before running the .zip. It looks easier to me....

Actually it is very stupid because the result of using the scripts (doesn't matter which one) you will end up with rooted device anyway (if it isnt already), but in order to get opensource script working your device has to be rooted before running the .zip, but if your device is already rooted, you just flash the zip and you are ready to go.
[Android General] Primokorn:
I mentioned su.d because that's a solution with newer Android versions but I didn't say it's the best one. Using FLOSS softwares is a good move but you are using proprietary codes with CM.

[Android General] rpangelov:
Excuse me for the late answer... I was not able to get internet connection... anyway. The steps you have to follow are:

1. Flash the OpenSource zip

2. When your phone reboots, open up Universal Init.d app. Don't turn it ON, just scroll to the bottom and click on "Test" - if everything works good it will ask you to grant root permission. Grant it... and let your su manager remember your choice. When that is done, go again to the top of the app "Universal Init.D" and turn it ON.

3. Reboot your phone. ViPER4Android has to work now... if it doesn't please let me know!
