It is interesting at least as fact that Samsung by their latest ROM 6.0.1 it seems as, that any specific device firmware ( country specific ) among EU, this now getting converted to a single identical firmware.

Is this what really is happening?

Are we going to stop waiting ( EU country specific ) updates after this release?
[XDA Assist] sam_h:
Hi,

I'm new to this forum and a beginner to learn about android devices. I have a Gionee E3 android device (Asian version - English) with Android 4.2.1 on it. Unfortunately I have forgot the pattern lock and to make matter worse the following problems are also included -

1) No root - the device is not rooted

2) No USB Debugging

3) No custom recovery (I guess, only (stock recovery), Android system Recovery is displayed when tried pressing volume + and power key combination )

4) No wi-fi or mobile data could be enabled as the lock won't allow even to slide the screen from the top to get quick access to these things.

5) Windows Xp on my pc

I have tried the following -

1) ADB method to delete the gesture.key, but as the device is not rooted, failed with this attempt with several errors.

2) Tried from Cygwin, but the SU command gave error - -bash: su: command not found

3) Tried Aroma file manager zip file from Android system recovery ----> apply update from SD card, returned error - Installation aborted. Tried to resolve by fixing the updater script file through Notepad++ with different versions of Aromafm but nothing works.

4) Tried with several pattern cracking software zip files through Android system recovery ----> apply update from SD card, still getting error - Installation aborted.

Kindly help me to recover my data intact.

Don't want to root the device and there may be the risk of wiping the data off.

I have also tried to backup from Android system recovery ----> backup user data and 300 MB of data has been backup on SD card. Does this include SMS and phone contacts too with whatsapp data also?

Thanks in advance and sorry for long description, just wanted to make sure you guys know all the things I have tried. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Good evening all,

I see a lot of posts about people wanting to use the stock Samsung camera on AOSP/AOKP/CM roms. We know this can't be done and it's unfortunate.

Whilst the experience with the camera is generally better on TW ROMS due to the ability of using the stock Camera, you can get some very, very good results using the correct applications in CM based ROMs too. I have attached a shared folder on my Google Photos application to showcase this.

These were all taken using either Camera MX or Open Camera. HDR enabled for most (if not all) of them and very few of them have been edited in any way (besides the obvious Vignette one with my nephew and 3 dogs, and the other one of my puppy and his big brother). Let me know your thoughts and if anyone wants any tips on using their camera, let me know. You can get some INCREDIBLE examples using the camera in your pocket, remember that.

Fact ; I use my S5 as my camera for taking my photography shots for the adverts I produce and not once has anyone noticed they're from a phone. I do use an iPhone 6S for the videography because it's in an entirely different league, but photography still comes from the S5.

[Asus ZenWatch 2] SPilon:
Hey guys, im now to the forum so I thought Id put this out there.

About last week I had an issue with charging my ZenWatch 2, I hooked my watch up to the magnetic charging cable and went to bed, I got up in the morning and much to my dismay I realized that although it was magnetically connected it had not been electrically connected! Dismayed I searched online to find a charging stand and only found the 3d printed adapter, meh. I drew up this and promptly made it using a cnc machine(its a hobby). I got a lot of positive feedback from people I showed it to and now im curious if anyone else would be interested in purchasing something like this. If theres interest I would prolly set up little website and take pre-orders to gauge interest.

I have a S5 with the new Marshmallow update via the Telus network in Canada. I had root for the Lollipop but took it out so I could update without problems. Lo and behold the Marshmallow update went in without a hitch but when I tried to flash TWRP with ODIN it didn't work. Am I missing something or does rooting the Marshmallow update require a new TWRP version? I used TWRP and SUPER SU last time to root Lollipop and al I did was put SUPER SU in a folder and flashed TWRP and then installed SUPER SU with TWRP and I was rooted. I just want the easiest step by step way to root my S5 again with the Marshmallow update. My provider is Telus from Canada.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You've got it wrong. Systemless root isn't the reason system is not writable. The same will occur with traditional root.

The system is write protected on this device (regardless of root method). You need the kernel mode to disable the write protection.

So can I try to flash this file...???
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
No, it won't work. Kernels (and therefore kernel mods) are device specific. It won't work, and may harm your phone.

If the phone is rooted, you can try to mount system in a file explorer app, and apply the desired changes, to see if they stick (survive a reboot). Some folks have had success with that approach.

Be careful, and backup files accordingly. Or otherwise know how to return to stock, if anything goes wrong. Changes to system under root can result in unpredicted problems.

Further than that, I probably can't help; as I have no specific knowledge of your device.
