[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootabaga:
My Note 4 is the older 910T variant. It is still running 5.0.1. I have not taken the 5.1.1 update yet which I blocked using the Debloater. I have not rooted yet because I have a pending warranty issue (GPS) I need to take care of.

Here is my question. Is the root method for 5.0.1 inherently better than that of 5.1.1? If I understand correctly, the 5.1.1 method is systemless and does not use/require a custom kernel and some apps may not play well with this, such as Viper for Android.

I am concerned about this because I suspect Samsung may replace my 910T with a 910T3. This should solve my GPS problems but it seems that it may put me in a less advantageous rooting situation.

Am I correct on this? Can anyone shed light on this for me?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WaxysDargle:
You are correct in that 5.1.1 stock kernel requires systemless root. There is at least one kernel out there that is very close to stock that will accept system root, the name of which I can't remember.

I found systemless root to be almost completely functional, but did hit a roadblock or two (like V4a). Stock kernel is so much better than any other I've tried on touchwiz that its the only one I care to use, though I've given up on touchwiz completely as of late.

There are plenty of touchwiz variant custom ROMs to choose from, varying in different aspects of performance that you may or may not preferable to stock.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootabaga:
Thanks, that was a helpful reply.

If I understand you correctly, it sounds like you actually prefer the stock 5.1.1. kernel. Were you also rooted prior to the 5.1.1. update, using a custom kernel?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WaxysDargle:
I just got my 910T3 a few months ago and it already has 5.1.1 on it. I would not revert to 5.0.1 because of issues it had, like memory leaks.

And yes, I prefer stock kernel. None of the alternatives seem to match the performance or battery life of stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Leelouster:
Hi guys, I haven't updated AT ALL. I remember reading somewhere here on XDA that someone had said, "Don't update if you're planning on rooting". But I really hate the software update popping up on me, and I'd like to have better battery from the second update T-Mobile sent out. What are your guys opinions? Will updating really affect any chances of me rooting my snapdragon S7 Edge? Since they update the 'security' of my device?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] TheShoxter:
You need to update. If anything, you will only be able to unlock bootloader after an update where T-mobile allows to do so. They have previously stated they are working with Samsung on a solution. By not updating, you are only depriving yourself of much need software fixes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Ker~Man:

So are you saying I SHOULDN'T update and that he's wrong?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] nano303:
Right? Either way I updated didn't take me a second to think about it because of root. Pfst if you don't want the fixes that the updates have pushed out then ok. But I'm telling you my battery life! Now I get really good 4 to 5 hours of normal use. I'm happy before the update I'd get 330 to 4 hours
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] vcarr1989:
It's a good update. Its 4pm and I have 68% remaining. Before the update I would have had about 38%

Usage is consistent. No real bug that I have noticed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] jbloggs2008:
The update also fixes the overly sensitive touch screen. Definitely worth it. Also, if you're hoping for root to get ad blocking, check out netguard.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Ker~Man:
Definitely a great update, but I personally update regardless. And if it f**** me, so be it. I'm just saying I've seen others say more NOT to if you plan on rooting. Which I do, but I'm just a dumbass like that! LoL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] cldbld:
Think this update made my battery worse tbh. I've been at work for 4 hours now with light usage and it's at 77%. It didn't get that low with heavier usage in same time frame pre update. Haven't installed anything before or after.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Leelouster:
**** it might as well lol. I'm getting tired of seeing that stupid update notification anyway. I was just really holding back because I wanted to root my phone so I can get snappreffs and I can save dem nudes lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] StrumerJohn:
I updated after updating my boyfriend's phone. Got jealous. Going to jump soon anyways. Just need $22 more in payments. This device, as stated by many others, is dead and really has no development future. By the time bootloader is unofficially or officially unlocked there will be barely any developers with the phone still. Just enjoy the software updates. Pretty sure you need them for the latest Good Lock to work anyways, which is awesome btw no more quick connect or S search wasting space in my notification bar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] stormonya:
I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!!! Its dreadful not having snappreffs...?? ..it makes you feel like one of the commoners.... I understand.... Ive had to settle for Casper for now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Leelouster:
Lol well...hopefully someone can find a way around :/ I love this device, I just can't stand that there's no way to root the snapdragon version of it :(

Tell me about it! I miss saving snaps, being able to see a snap forever, and having all the perks of being rooted lol. I've totally forgotten about Casper. How is it? Is it a good alternative to snappreffs? What's the main difference? Can you get caught using it? (Cause I think I've heard that sometimes it doesn't work and they'll get the notification that it screenshotted the picture).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] stormonya:
It works pretty well....its a standalone app...no major special filters...but its stable and you download everything like snapprefs so it doesn't send notification of screenshot... Because in all actuality you don't screen shots....Casper logs you out of the snapchat app...so it cannot be used simultaneously... Its a good alternative until we get root access.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Leelouster:
Thanks I'll try it out! :) Do we get to use the cool filters like faceswap and what not?

Somehow my /system folder is deleted on my phone. It's currently soft-bricked.

I really want to flash CM 12 to my phone, but not having this folder makes it impossible for me to flash a new rom.

How am i supposed to get the System folder back?

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idreaus:
It seems that the Z5 compact isn't as near successful as the z3, despite being much better too. I come to the XDA daily just to found out that lately the Z5 compact modding community is so low. Is it because of the Size screen or because people still buy the z3 instead?

I don't think we going to be seeing a compact with the X series. What saddens me is that the lack of marketing done for the Z series after the z2 especially in north america.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milesg:
It's probably because the launch Lollipop firmware sucked monkey balls.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiTCHiE007:
Well it aint THAT much better to begin with but good phones sell it self and its just retarded to see how much a samsung or apple pays a year on ads.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninestarkoko:
every device of the Z5 line is less popular, also because of the absence of an unlocked version in US market until february and, among the xda community, again the lack of american developers and the bad fame of the Snapdragon 810 / worse battery life.

Moreover, i agree with you, Z5 compact is not Much better than Z3c: it's just better on display, gpu, (cpu), .... but worse with button position, heat, battery life,....

Fortunately we have great european developers ;) and the community is growing.

Z5 /Z5P forums seem more active and you can find some interesting mods that will work also on Z5C
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiTCHiE007:
Well maybe for specs whores like us but for most them specs dont really matter but the reason the z5 sells less is because sony has a hard time adding new features. Only reason i bought this z5c is because i had hopes the camera would be worth it but with things missing like RAW or good manual controls, it just shows sony and software aint a good combo to start with.

The USA market is owned by samsung and apple so any other brand has a hard time so most put focus on EU or Asia where people just want a good device and dont get missleaded by advertizement.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idreaus:
The 810 v2.1 isn't that bad. Its a very powerful and efficient chip. The whole bad rep for it's series (snapdragon) with the 810 has been quite old now. The thing i find is that it runs a little more warm than the z3 but stays much cooler in heavy duties in a long run (z3 would heat then dissipate then heat up again) of course im speaking of the Z3 and not the compact. Yes US market with Sony has been extremely confusing for both parts, it seems that sony did try properly to market out their product in the US however verizon, AT&T and other providers seem to be given sony a hard time to be on the spot light lately, their only critical introduction to the US marketing was for the Xperia T due to James bond edition and the Z2 heavy sell as well. Nevertheless im no expert nor a business strategist but one thing for sure is that the end line family of the Z series sony has done to bring the X series will be a loss from their part. They won't see a growth in revenue with the X series for a while.
[Verizon LG G3] android94301:
Maybe once every couple of days my phone goes crazy. It doesn't reboot, but it starts randomly dialing phone numbers again and again, the screen goes black, then comes back, and basically the only fix is to reboot. Any thoughts on what might be going on? I'm running the original Kitkat rooted, and that's the only thing really modified. Oh, and the hotspot mod to allow tethering.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Try a factory reset (wipe data/cache/dalvik)?

My only other suggestion would be to flash the 10B TOT and start from scratch.

You can use the built in LG Backup to backup your user apps/data and limited system data, and restore if you attempt either. Note that flashing the 10B TOT will wipe your internal storage.

If you restore apps, be sure and test the phone first to verify if the problem happens without restoring your apps and data first, or at least with a limited set of your restored apps.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
If "@roirraW "edor" ehT" suggestion doesn't work, do you happen to notice if it happens when either the phone is in your hands, etc? Makes me wonder if the digitizer/touch screen is going bad and it's mistakenly thinking you're hitting a quick dial or something. That is strange though.

How old is the phone? Could also be an issue with the hardware other than the digitizer and/or touch screen.

Also, have you side-loaded APKs from places other than Google Play and Amazon App store? If so, which specific apps? I try not to side-load anything that isn't from Google Play or Amazon. Too many malware things out there. It's one of the reasons why I don't root with Kingroot. I don't trust that at all considering where it's from.
[Verizon LG G3] hockalugie:
I have a G2 that does the same thing. Goes crazy for no apparent reason. it's completely factory original and I suspect it's the digitizer too It acts like someone is just tapping away at the screen but at warp speed. I finally just retired it to my desk drawer.

Err...then don't use Greenify on this device. I can see why the dev doesn't respond

[Remix OS for PC] Conixcit:
Hello,

I have just installed remix os. (dual os though)

Problem is, bottom bar is solid black that means I can not use multitasking. I have to close one app to open another one. I can not also open setting etc.

What is this happening

At the first boot I had this problem too, then system automaticly rebooted and I had that bottom bar now It is again gone. I have really low notebook, has 2gigs of ram and 1.4ghz of cpi even linux freezes time to time. But so far, remix os running like a dream.

Btw, I am using 64bit version if it matters.

thanks in advance
[Remix OS for PC] HypoTurtle:
Check the autohide settings. Settings ==> Display ==> Autohide (and right click on taskbar if you can)
[Remix OS for PC] Conixcit:
First of all thanks for reply,

And it is not what you say, it isn't hidin problem is

Where running apps and stats should be covered with solid black, (same border)
[Remix OS for PC] HypoTurtle:
I think I had what you're describing and toggling the autohide fixed it (i think there was a mismatch between the setting value and the right click value).

That being said it might be better to try the 32bit version on your device; it should be easier on resources.
[Remix OS for PC] ZiQn3zZ:
I'll go one farther and say that you should not be running the 64-bit at all on that notebook. You don't have the hardware to properly support it. Upon initial installation you should have seen a pop-up telling you to make sure you are using the 32-bit version based on your hardware.
[Remix OS for PC] Conixcit:
I totally agree but 64 bit version is the only version that supports EFI ,
[Remix OS for PC] HypoTurtle:
I'm fairly sure replacing the system.img, kernel, initrd.img and ramdisk.img with the 32bit ones and removing the _64 from the grub.cfg will boot with efi grub... if you want to try
[Remix OS for PC] Conixcit:
What possibly can go wrong anyway?

It's my side OS anyway.

I'll try as soon as I reach home.
[Remix OS for PC] updesh94:
I had the same problem, I fixed it by adding

ro.remixos.no_wallpaper=true

in build.prop where other ro.remixos options are configured

and also remove the 2 ffmpeg lines to remove blinking issue...

If you cannot open any application plug in any usb, es file explorer will appear then enable root explorer option

and navigate to /system to edit build.prop and finally edit it.. :D
[Remix OS for PC] Conixcit:
where is exactly "build.prob" file.

I'm using Ubuntu
[Remix OS for PC] HypoTurtle:
It's within the system.img; within RemixOS it's at /system/build.prop.

But I don't think this is a fix per say - yes it seems to work for some people; but this could be due to some data hangover from a previous version with this line present.

What I would try first is simply clearing data from SystemUI (and Settings) app.
[Remix OS for PC] Conixcit:
Already done that. Not helps

Letme try that file editing thing
[Remix OS for PC] Conixcit:
Can't find that build.prob file....
[Remix OS for PC] HypoTurtle:
You're dual booting with ubuntu, right?

If so then just mount the system.img and you'll see it righg there.

mkdir rossystem && mount -t ext4 system.img rossystem

or if your using a system folder then it should be just in there.

yep have a note 4. best phone i had in ages. got the s7. it's nice to go to a smaller screen again. screen quality isn't as good as my note at all though bc the top right corner of the s7 had a darker spot than the rest, and when scrolling, you see more of that weird static lines in the background on white backgrounds than I did on my note. camera is amazing though. and overall the quality of the phone is great. it's a nice upgrade.

I recently purchased the s7. I'm experiencing battery drain though.

I was a 100% in the morning and after light gaming, time checking, and Internet browsing (all of this for around 45 min added up) the phones at 45%.

Is this normal, or is it because the phone is still setting up, or what?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Visionikz03:
Could be. Although shouldn't drain that much. I streamed bt from Spotify for about 6 hours today and was only at 52% afterwards. Have u updated to newest version of software? Sammy says they optimised some battery draining processes. Try updating and clearing cache.

I didn't have HUGE battery drain, but it's certainly eye-opening on coming from a Droid MAXX. however, I did notice a lot of geegaws turned on by default, like the screen timer and the NFC and several sprint apps. I tweaked around, and switched to nova-launcher and that seems to have helped.

Hi,

I have seen an online retailer in the UK selling the S7 edge SM-G935F in silver titanium.

As far as I know it is not available in this colour in the UK. Is it therefore likely to be an import? If so, is it okay to use in the UK or is there going to be compatibility issues?

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] TonyManley:
Hi,

My first time for posting as you all seem to always post my answers and questions for me. Thanks.

However!

A few days after receiving it I upgraded my UK T-mobile Ameo to TMobile WM6 which is excellent especially with RealVGA (thanks to all the posts on here!).

Every few days I have to do a hard reset as the machine periodically messes up.

Even though my today page tells me I have x emails in email account "fred" and y emails in account "John", when I try to go in it seems my accounts are all lost! So "Fred" and "John" are not there. I have found no way to sort this. I then have to setup the account with a new email name as the old one is in use!

I do not use any backup utilities so they cannot be to blame. And I will have gone from successfully using the email in the morning, a single phone call and then loose email access. This can often be preceeded by me loosing access to all communications including activesync, web access (of course WM6 WIFI does not work correctly with WPA-PSK so I never use WIFI)

I am very tired of re-installing everything and do not use any of the SPB apps as they have always locked up this device.

Any clues anyone? If not how can I get the original FlashRom so I can send back on warranty?

Many thanks

Tony
