[Note Edge General] h00rj:
The EdgeScreen text always bothered me. A static phrase just stuck on the side of my phone being utterly pointless... WELL NO MORE!

Inspired by Mirkohmm's thread on making the night clock permanent using CheatDroid, I noticed the EdgeScreen text is also in the pref_cache.xml so I set out to figure out how to make it useful. Here's what I came up with.

AUTOMATICALLY PUT TODAY'S DATE ON THE EDGESCREEN TEXT

[Disclaimer: If this borks yer phone, sorry. It shouldn't, but I can't give you any guarantee.]

Requirements: Tasker with *root* privileges

A file browser with root

Some sort of plain text editor (the ones included with Root Browser, ES File Explorer, Solid Explorer all work)

A willingness to reboot your phone daily. (I haven't figured out how to update the text without a reboot)

Steps

1. Make a copy of /data/data/com.samsung.android.app.cocktailbarservice/shared_prefs/pref_cache.xml

I put it in a safe location on my SDCard. Remember the location and you might want to make another backup copy since both the original and this one will be edited.

2. Tasker -> New Task

Action:

-Write File

File: /storage/extSdCard/somethingsomething/pref_cache.xml (put the location of your copied pref_cache.xml here)

Text: open pref_cache.xml in a text editor and copy/paste the entire contents here then scroll down to <string name="personal_message">SUPER EDGY EDGESCREEN TEXT HERE</string> and change it to

<string name="personal_message">%DATE</string>

Action:

-Copy File (you have to do it this way, thanks to a limitation of Tasker not being able to browse/modify root under certain conditions)

From: (browse to your saved copy of pref_cache.xml)

To: /data/data/com.samsung.android.app.cocktailbarservice/shared_prefs/pref_cache.xml (you will have to copy/paste/type this text, you can't browse to it)

Use Root: CHECKED!!

That's it! Run the task and reboot your phone and the EdgeScreen text should now have today's date!

So, here's how I have it set up:

Since the changes aren't visible until after a reboot, I have this task run every night at 12:30am. At midnight Titanium Backup runs a backup, clears app caches, and reboots, so once that is complete I have the new date on the EdgeScreen.

I've attached the tasks I use, one I found somewhere can format the dates most any way you like using javascript and outputs the formatted date as %MYDATE, and the other is my actual task like I have lined out above. Of course, file locations and stuff will have to be changed for your own use DO NOT RUN IT WITHOUT MODIFYING THE FILE LOCATIONS.

Whatcha think? If anyone can figure out how to update the text without rebooting, that would be awesome! My ideal would be to have the date and time, maybe even notification snippits, that way if I'm watching fullscreen video or playing a game that screen is at least showing me relevant info not just a cheesy phrase.

I might change it to put any calendar tasks I have for the day, or something similar... Let me know what you guys come up with!

So I got this brilliant idea. My gf and I were talking and we are going to start a blog. I've learned how to do some very amazing videos with this phone, especially recording in 24fps. Its very movie like. Anywho, does anyone have a recommendation for a nice cell phone tripod? Preferably something I can clip into the phone then screw into a tripod?

Use the top portion of a selfie stick......

Most cheap selfie sticks are compatible with any camera mount. Just unscrew the portion that holds the phone from the telescoping stick, and then screw it onto any camera mount or tripod. Works great.

I can post pics if you need to see it in action.

Hello I have a weird situation that I haven't found a fix yet. I work and travel on the road and switch between navigation apps when selecting a destination through the calendar app with my appointments etc. It sets the first navigation app I choose as the default. On every phone I have ever had I could have those apps and pick at will which one I needed on the fly without a default one.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] witti96:
Hello,

does somebody know, how to mount network shares on a phone running Android 6? Its rooted using SuperSU, Busybox installed and the Kernel supports CIFS, its listed in /proc/filesystems. Methods that seemed to work on Lollipop are failing with the error "mounting //192.168.x.x/xxx on /mnt/nas failed: Invalid argument"

Maybe someone knows a solution.

Thanks,

CyanogenMod 13.0 (cm-13.0-20160712-NIGHTLY-acclaim.zip)

su

setenforce 0

or

echo 0 > /sys/fs/selinux/enforce

getenforce

>Permissive

After that I mounted with success:

busybox mount -o rw,nolock,hard,intr,vers=3 -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/nfs4_share /storage/emulated/0/cifs/nfs4_share

But folder is empty in file managers.

"busybox mount" show two mounting points:

192.168.1.1:/nfs4_share on /storage/emulated/0/cifs/nfs4_share type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,nolock,proto=tcp,port=2049,timeo=70,retrans=3,sec=sys,local_lock=all,addr=192.168.1.1)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yasondinalt:
I changed mounting point to /mnt/media_rw/nfs4_share, and now I have one line in "busybox mount":

192.168.1.1:/nfs4_share on /mnt/media_rw/nfs4_share type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,namlen=255,hard,nolock,proto=udp,port=2049,timeo=70,retrans=3,sec=sys,local_lock=all,addr=192.168.1.1)

And when I executed mount command over "adb shell && su", files became accessible. But I have wrong user:group on Android /mnt/media_rw/nfs4_share (uid:gid of user on PC), so some programs can't read files. But I think this must be fixed on server side in /etc/exports.

Look like root rights required to access this mount folder, can't figure out where and how properly mount it.

Same problem when I trying to mount /storage/media:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p10

/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/media

So this is more general problem with proper mounting.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yasondinalt:
Dirty hack.

mount -o remount,rw /

mkdir -p /emmc; chown -R sdcard_r:everybody /emmc

mount -o remount,ro /

busybox mount -o rw,nolock,hard,intr,vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,proto=udp,timeo=70 -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/nfs4_share /emmc

For "media" disk (/dev/block/mmcblk0p10) mounting to /emmc working too:

busybox mount -t vfat /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/media /emmc -o rw,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,noatime

Files accessible by manages and payers without root access.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yasondinalt:
On another device with CM 11 I made additional steps:

Load nfs module on Android:

modprobe nfs

Executed on "server" (my PC), to match user:group on client "sdcard_r:media_rw":

chown -R 1028:1015 /nfs4_share

And for test only:

chmod -R 0777 /nfs4_share

And what is more important executed command over SuperSu with "--mount-master" argument:

su --mount-master -c "busybox mount -o rw,nolock,hard,intr,vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,proto=udp,timeo=70 -t nfs 192.168..1:/nfs4_share /emmc"

So now on this devise all programs can see files in this share too.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The product ID (m8_ul_ca) is probably correct. We've seen reports here of a number of devices that have had their back covers swapped to remove branding (in this case, to remove the AT&T logo) and therefore wrong model number on back.

Although that doesn't explain why you have the device tree error when running the AT&T RUU. Please do fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete IMEI and serial number before posting) so we can see more info about the phone.

I press "reboot system" and then It totally backed out. It can not turn on. I pressed power + volume up, it didn't vibrate. I tried, tried... many times but it didn't work.

Have you tried pushing the red button for 5 seconds under the microusb cover flap to completely reset the system?

Does the device get recognised in the DeviceManager, if so have you installed the correct developer.sonymobile[com]/downloads/drivers/xperia-z2-driver/ drivers for it? (you could also try it on ubuntu)

Are you sure your connection / cable is good?

Have you tried to boot into theandroidsoul[com]/sony-xperia-z2-flash-mode-54084 flashmode? (volume down), does it get recognised then?

Ah, this doesn't sound too good. The good thing is that the flashtool works, but since it doesn't help you may try a method called "test point".

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] dj NJoy:
Hello. I've checked the previous pages and didn't see anyone having the same question. That probably means i am the only one so dumb in here)))

Basically, last night i was playing with overclocking my XDA Orbit being insured that all the contacts are syncronized. At some point (273MHz) the device stopped responding so i had to soft reset it. Later i found that nothing got lost BUT my contact list with all the numbers. Next, I open Outlook and see that none of them were saved there. WTF is ActiveSync is doing then? And another problem is that i cannot use backup of my old WM2003 contact list because there is no such option as Backup/Restore in WM6. Any ideas? Please,HELP. I really need those numbers back...
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] devdarshan:
The contacts in the Orbit are gone...

The contacts in the Outlook not sync'ed hence they too gone...

Cannot import 2003 backup into WM6 - different structure

Option 1 - if you have old outlook backup - you can re-import into new outlook file and they re-sync again

Option 2 - Manually enter all the numbers you remember

Option 3 - Nothing

Basically the fact is if you cannot see the contacts in the fone - they are gone! If you cannot see in outlook they are gone - only option is to get from another source!

You mentioned 2003 backup - what did you take the backup with? Maybe you can still read using the same software and try to retrieve the number - or use another 2003 model to import into it
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] dj NJoy:
The backup was taken using Backup/Restore feature of WM2003. But I really wonder now, WHY Microsoft decided not to include this option in WM6? If anything happens, you're properly f****d, like me now.

BTW, WM2003 Contact list backup can be accessed with Notepad, but the data looks a bit messy that way.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] devdarshan:
Am not in the same situation...was letting you know your options....

Good luck with the retrieval...
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] dj NJoy:
don't take it personally, i meant "You" in general

I analyzed the chain of events and it seems like i found the root of the problem. It's was nothing to do with overclocking or the device itself. Its ActiveSync. As I usually don't use Outlook, the contact list there was always empty. And this blessed child of Microsoft instead of copying contacts from XDA to Outlook did it other way round thus erasing everything on the phone. Don't know what to do, laugh or cry, but it's so... so... ridicilous!

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sonrio224:
So i have had my zenfone for awhile now. i unlocked the bootloader and was able to root it with a temp CWM. it was going fine for a long time.

Then one day my phone started to act up. wouldn't read texts right, false notifications, and app crashing. i thought maybe i had a virus so i ran a cleaning app (Clean Master and Lookout) but they found nothing. so i thought why not restarting the phone? seems to work for some.... *sigh*

Upon restarting the phone i am now stuck on the ZenPhone flip case thing... with the info on the circle. i thought maybe i dropped my phone sometime or somewhere and the case got stuck. okay simple fix, i tried using a magnet to open the case... and it did nothing.

Then I tired going into recovery mode by going through fast boot. but selecting anything in fast boot causes the phone to "freeze" and endlessly vibrate. It can't even detect when its plugged into the computer so i cant do commands on it from fast boot. i cant even do it from the OS as i think when its in the flip thing it doesn't allow PC access (at least i think). but the strange part about being on the OS, is that when phone goes to sleep (screen turns off), it "freezes".

What i'm asking here is there a way to fix this or is this phone lost. i made this account just for this... please help!

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Before that, have you tried totally discharging the battery, leaving for a day or 2 to get rid of any last traces of power from the RAM then recharging and starting up again?

Might be something screwy going on with the phones hardware but these things are literally PC's and sometimes they need to have a good shutdown to get rid of all the quirks stuck in ram.

If you don't want to wait, you could just open up and disconnect the battery. You were only going to sell as parts anyway....
