It is a bad idea. Restoring any system files from one device to another is a risky game. I wouldn't even recommend restoring data from one device to another. ;)

Start fresh, clean. No need to bring junk over, or risk issues. Takes 15 minutes to setup a phone how I like it after a clean rom flash. That's not a long time.

Last year I returned my N6 because of the peeling-back problem. I had a full TWRP backup on my laptop. I loaded it on to the replacement N6, renamed the backup folder to the new device id, and restored it. Worked perfectly, no problems.
[Samsung Gear VR] Aurelian24:
I need to active a video in multiple samsung devices and a arduino at the same time, and activate them Through an app all in the same time. I don´t even know where to start looking for it.

I found that you can run the mylk vr app with a bluetooth, but I don´t know if it works for multiple devices.

I already know how to connect an arduino via bluetooth, all I need is a bluetooth library that sends a signal to a bluetooth module

I need to manage the way to do this 2 things from a single app in android

Do I have to make the app in java? is the only choice?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 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.

How to grip LG G5 with Quick Cover when using Camera

Got around to showing the folks their new LG G5 phones with Quick Cover case - mother's day was good timing!

While trying to figure how to best grip the phone with the Quick Cover, found while holding the phone in landscape with the flip cover dangling down, it was actually fairly comfortable to loop one or two bottom fingers (pinky and ring) through the cover's cut out. This had the added value of making the phone very secure in hand. :good:
[LG G5 Accessories] Angie*:
Agree with you in all.

I prefer cover than bumpers or case: screen might be protected.

And agree with the cut of the window, who hide the back's buttons (sensor and photo)

Looking for a cover like official, with bigger window

[LG G5 Accessories] AlCrims:
I ordered a LG G5 Quick Case for $10 from China, advertised as OEM. Upon arrival I realized what I should have known, it is not the official OEM. The quality is acceptable as far as fit and materials, but my phone increases battery consumption dramatically. Battery consumption returs to normal as long as the screen cover is open, which defeats its purpose. Has anybody noticed this behavior, or it's just a badly designed copy of the Official Quick Cover Case?
[LG G5 Accessories] nash211:
I was going to buy one my concern is that the side of the phone is not covered, I like to have the phone protected all around.
[LG G5 Accessories] futures:
The case grips (grasps) the phone on the four corners. A quality plastic. It's not a soft bumper case, nor a thick durable case, but the way the corners are it should prevent damage from sides if falls flat on its side, back, front at waist / chest level.

What's awesome about the G5 is the easy reparability.
[LG G5 Accessories] Pre100n:
I've got the same issue. I bought an original LG OEM Quick Cover Case, and until I've been using it my battery drains much faster. About 10% per hour in Idle. I think that the reason of it is an active front surface of this case, mabye it's continiously waiting for reaction (touch the surface or open case). Any solution?
[LG G5 Accessories] Joylesstuna:
I can also confirm battery drain issues on OEM folio flip case. It's really annoying.
[LG G5 Accessories] aac_j:
I can confirm that the OEM flip cover case is very slippery. I nearly dropped it a few times because of this.

The fact that the front cover doesn't stay closed with some kind of magnet or suction cup is annoying.

I tried modifying an older case I had which had the suction method to work on this case but it wouldn't work without completely destroying this case (superglue ew :silly:)

As for the battery drain issue, I haven't used the device without the cover in the past couple days that I've had the phone, so a few more tests will show what the difference is with and without it.

I haven't had trouble using the camera since I flip the cover in

such a way

so that I can use the window as a way to hold the phone steady when recording.

Glad to see LeeDroid here.

Ok, so I'm currently on FW 1.21.710.10 (Aus GSM).

As I understand it, I will need FW 1.30.401.1 to get it to work with this ROM.

I can do everything else like unlock BL, etc, but can someone point me to the FW link for 1.30.401.1 so I can download and flash it please??

[MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION], will this FW be compatible with the Aus region - signal etc?

To flash the stock RUU FW, I'm guessing I don't need to be S-Off just yet? Only if there are future FW upgrades?? Or am I wrong on this?

[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] peteri8706:
I'll ask again, bump the thread...

I have unlocked and S-Off my HTC 10.

LeeDroid states we have to be on the FW 1.3xxx, whereas I am on FW 1.21xxx

Now in the older days of HTC, to get the 'Firmware' if our phone carriers did not update us quickly enough, we had to download signed or unsigned packages to update the FW separately to updating to the 'newer based ROM'.

Has this changed? i.e. I can download the fully stock backup of the 1.3xxx ROM and restore this and the boot file with TWRP. Is this all I have to do before I flash this custom ROM?

OR, do I also have to do as in old days, flash the FW 1.3xx to enable the phone to work properly? If so, can anyone here point me to the FW file to flash prior to flashing the ROM now that I also have S-Off?

Thanks and I do look forward to any help on this and, much appreciated, in advance :)

Since writing, I have tried SuperCID (it works for the M10 by the way) and no OTA's. Then tried stock recoveries for matching MID's to the phone, still no OTA's to get me/us on updated FW to flash the ROM.

I guess even by changing CID's and having stock recovery which matches the device MID, with no root etc and being S-off, still ain't getting any OTA's with any combo of ways of doing it. Even on stock everything, with matching CID to MID, I'm having no luck in getting the OTA for the sake of FW to assumedly be able to flash the ROM.

If we can't flash because of this (it sucks) we'll have to wait for the guru's who make up the unsigned (or signed) zip files to flash the FW manually :(:(

Unless someone can prove otherwise that the ROM/bootloader etc can be flashed with older FW....... OR show us where we can d/l the FW to match :good:

Early days, no in a huge rush, but burning that I/we are limited because of this........................

Hello guys. I created Power Toggles a few years ago, and have been slowing adding features to it.

But I have not been getting time to keep update the app for some time. I have made the project available on github

https://github.com/sunnygoyal/PowerToggles

Little description of the app:

An advanced power control widget. FREE and No ads

Contains 40+ toggles including

Wifi

Mobile Data (3G/4G)

Bluetooth (toggle, discovery and tether),

Flashlight

Custom application shortcut

Custom system shortcuts

And many more...

Many customization options like changing color theme and icons for individual toggles.

For creating a Tasker toggle, refer http://powertoggles.com/tasker/

Really hoping this keeps getting updated, have been using Power Toggles for years and it seems some functions aren't working properly in Android M and N:

(2) Quick settings broadcast tiles no longer works in Android N - https://github.com/sunnygoyal/PowerToggles/issues/4

Now having tasted what it's like to have various app supporting quick setting tiles, I really wish this app was still under development.

I've red Google removes applications which have no updates since a few years.

it could have been removed due to policy enforced by Google ( using device admin access ) .

BTW, I've been thinking about supporting this with value adds ( I have an initial version called micro toggles with few added features ) - Of course, it will be open source.

May be based on interest I will consider releasing it.
[Android Apps and Games] dhinged:
I've been using Power Toggles for years and it's still better than Nougat and any other app I've tried, I'm sorry to see it go, but I do know Java and will be looking into contributing to the open source for bug fixes, cleanup, and possibly improved/new features. Don't get overly-ambitious! Keep it simple and effective, that's my motto.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beankid:
What do you think these marks on the screen are? I thought they where just smudges under the screen protector but after pulling it up and trying to clean them off, they are still there. The screen is fine, nothing crazy going on there. This screen is a third party screen though. Maybe it's the glass separating from the digitizer? I've had the phone for over two years now so it might be time for a replacement.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickL0V3:
In between the Lcd and the digitizer (touch screen) is a clear adhesive called LOCA (liquid optically clear adhesive) and under stress (heat, water, preasure) it starts to break down and create bubbles. Don't try to fix it. It will only get worse until you replace the screen entirely.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beankid:
Dang, that's unfortunate to hear. I was hoping it would have been a easy fix. I've replaced the screen twice and don't think I am really up to replace it again. Seems this phone will go away soon after the summer then.

Instead ob adb backup/restore, you can use adb pull/push. But it requires fixing file permissions and ownerships. I do it like this from a Bash shell on my Linux computer:

APP_ID="org.secuso.privacyfriendlynotes"

# Backup (RUN WITH OLD PHONE CONNECTED)
adb pull "/data/data/${APP_ID}"

# Restore (RUN WITH NEW PHONE CONNECTED)
APP_OWNERSHIP=$(adb shell stat --format "%U:%G" "/data/data/${APP_ID}")
adb shell mv "/data/data/${APP_ID}" "/data/data/${APP_ID}_backup"
adb push "./${APP_ID}" "/data/data/${APP_ID}"
adb shell restorecon "/data/data/${APP_ID}"
adb shell chown -R "${APP_OWNERSHIP}" "/data/data/${APP_ID}"
#adb shell rm -rf "/data/data/${APP_ID}_backup"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peoro:
This script requires `adb root`, right? Is it still available in modern versions of Android? I didn't manage to use it even after setting `ro.debuggable=1` in `/system/build.prop`, on my Android 12.

Unless you have any insights about this, I guess I can change permission to or copy an app's data directory with `su` before pulling it.

I also noticed that some files (at least the `cache` and `code_cache` directories) in an app's data dir belong to a different group. I'm wondering whether setting the ownership of everything to the same user and group could cause problems in the future.
