Ahh that makes sense I need to go back thru xposed more thoroughly and how would i go about creating a module? That seems like something i would be interested in. And as far as mods go , im the type that ,even though I'm impressed with what i have i haveban insatiable need to make it one click better ( similar to the custom marshall stacks in the movie spinal tap that the volume dial went up to 11 instead of the standard 10, lol idk if you seen the movie or not) but mainly id like to modify the camera to a higher resolution and possibly include the ability to leave the shutter open as long as i want , those are just a couple of mods i would love to have haha i know I'm asking for an impossibility but those are the kind of ideas i come up with i just have no clue how to create such madness haha
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
I too want better quality from the camera. I believe that is needed by a kernel mod, or a .SO mod. The latter of the two is harder. But I want better slow mo quality, should be able to adjust bitrate, and maybe hopefully fps. But having the shutter open as long as you want, I like that idea! I may see what I can do. You can easily make the volume go to 11 instead of 10, but you won't get a volume boost. What I personally do, is use the mixer_paths.xml to boost the volume, then add more volume steps. On my S5 I had 20 volume steps for everything, and it worked great. Allowed for more minute adjustments, but still get the volume boost from the mixer_paths.xml.

About creating an xposed module, just look it up on the forums. Plus there are YouTube guides which tell you step by step how to do it. You do need to know Java coding though. Its extremely easy to learn though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
If your good at xposed tweaks, we want you! (For TeamSPR, lol)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] adambigcock:
Awesome man thanks and the volume reference was from a movie lol u gotta see it to get the allusion lol but he'll yea if you could come up with an open shutter mod that weeks be too badass
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
You're* ;)

And I personally think I am very good with xposed and smali reading. I used to make ALL my mods through smali alone. I even wrote a "smali coder" that would translate java into smali without compiling anything. That tool though has long since been lost as well as its source code since I don't use it anymore. I now use Virtous Ten Studio for smali work cause of being able to link condition statements and stuff. Its got flaws, but it works. I will probably end up writing my own that way it does everything I would like it too.

I shall let you know if I ever figure anything out, don't expect anything done by tomorrow, or in a few weeks though :P. Expect something, but not everything, in about a month or so. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] adambigcock:
Lol im patient bro i wont nag
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
Mind making a tweak that just enables Mobile Data toggle?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
Like one in the notification tray? With all the other toggles?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
Yep:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
Don't we have that already? I can do it if we don't tho.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
We do, it's a CSC tweak, but you can only add tweaks like that if you freshly flash a ROM. If we have xposed, you can add it anytime without having to reinstall.

Come to think of it, could you do something like XTouchWiz?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
I can. I have something very similar already do my own personal setup. But if you compile a list of things you'd like, I'm sure I could figure it out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
Can you do all the in XTouchWiz and have it tell you your MSL?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
Does xtouchwiz not work? And I'll have to see about getting the msl.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
It does, I just like the tweaks in it, I think it'll be a good base then we can make a specialized tweak for this device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
So why not just use xtouchwiz???? Lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
I do, I just wanted to see a tweak like Xposed G3, that way we have a dedicated tweak.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
Ahh I see what you're saying. I'll think about it!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
Awesome, thank you!

Hey hey i got wifi to work with moar 3.1 rom port to s6 with the links in my previous post has the wifi fix. good luck mine turned on before even rebooting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] beserker15:
Hey there, so just to clarify, you are flashing ported roms from HERE, then flashing a Sprint MM kernel, perhaps from HERE, and then following the fixes from HERE? Also, do you have a link to the MOAR 3.1 rom you are referring to? I couldn't find it in the Sprint S6 or general S6 development sections.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Jimmy1life:
No i am not flashing those other cariers. Its a Sprint note 5 rom I have a sprint S6. With this S6 i can flash even the edge version. The note 5 has about identical system as the S6 n920p see g920p and it was something i was trying out gave it up for the time being.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stevenSZ:
I have noticed that if you go to www.letstalk.com and select AT&T Cells Phones (scroll to the bottom) and select the AT&T Tilt - they have it for $99.99 after rebate. Has anyone used this website before? This appears to be about $200 cheaper than we got it for at the AT&T store. I've still got 24 days or so to return it to the store if I so choose. Any idea on if this is a better deal or am I missing something strange that they do?

Input is appreciated. Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Carl G35c:
I purchased from them twice. Once many years ago with a Sidekick 2. I never got my rebates. Its what they count on to make a profit. I dont think Id ever do the mail in rebates again. Plus theres specific plans to keep the phone at that price. Its not likely to be $40 +$20 data.

And the other time was an unlocked Nokia E70-2 that I purchased at full price. So thats not really relivant. I would never purchase
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fb401:
my boss used wirefly.com to get his, came pretty quick.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] roverman:
I had to fight with wirefly for over a year to get mine. They use excuses like "rebate form not filled out correctly" or "not sent in the correct timeframe". At one point, I was calling them daily. They are counting on you just giving up. Document EVERYTHING if you try it and be set for a big long fight. On the plus side, after finally getting the rebates from them, there was a class action suit and they accidentally sent me a bonus $150:)

I am purchasing a used LG G3 and have arranged to meet up with a seller.. I haven't used an LG phone before so what are some things I should look for.

make sure it isn't a replica and get the mcaffee personal information in case the account was set up by the owner.lastly, make sure that the download and recovery mode are working.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jassalmithu:
Thanks the model I want D855 compatible with LTE is 305$ and I am getting it for about 150.

Didn't even knew it can be a replica but I think a replica won't have a high resolution screen and reading any text would be dead giveaway.

What's mcafee personal information? I will check the button combiantion presses to make to enter download and recovery mode, thanks.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twisted_twice:
I set up the McAffe account and created a six digit pin. In case someone

steal my phone and wants to hard reset it or enter download mode, he/she will be requested to enter this pin. Ask the seller if he has set up the mcafee apk.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jassalmithu:
Thanks for all the help guys, was about to purchase an LG G3 and it seemed fine and I could do factory reset on recovery too but for some reason it would not enter download mode. What could be the reason of that. Do I need drivers before? I didn't buy it and told the seller I need to research this more. Can it be fixed. The phone was definitely not a replica if it was they made damn good copy with a pristine screen. For enterin download mode, I was keeping volume up button pressed then plugging in USB cable, but nothing happened. I tried like 10 times with 3 different cables.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] schleima:
Hi all

I've successfully rooted my last 3 phones, so I'm not a total noob, but I'm hardly a technophile.

I really, really don't want to trip KNOX and void my warranty. With that in mind:

My Sprint phone currently has software v. G920PVPU3BOL1. Sprint is nagging me to upgrade to Marshmallow "G920PVPS3CPD2/G920PSPT3CPD2/G920PVPS3CPD2" (yes, the first # is the same as the third)

Of those existing threads which advise downloading ODIN to root Marshmallow, I did not see mention of whether KNOX would be tripped.

So, with this all in mind, what is the safest way to root/unlock bootloader/install custom rom without tripping KNOX? Is the rooting process the only part that has the potential to trip the KNOX security?

Really just want to clean out the bloatware and activate a hotspot with a nice shiny, lean custom rom. (I'm up for suggestions here as well).

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
Well, upgrading to MM is the smartest thing you can do as ROMs, and kernels will be released for that firmware. Flashing anything non-samsung will trip knox no questions asked as that's just how samsung's software is written. If you wish to root, check my THREAD ON ROOTING. I've personally done two warranty claims my device (via Sprint) with no issues of voided warranty due to knox tripping.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Jimmy1life:
X2 on knox tripped and still went to sprint and got a replacement no questions asked i reset it to stock before going in to sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] schleima:
Thanks very much for this. I downloaded the OTA marshmallow update and followed your root instructions. I'm now rooted successfully (Knox was tripped, but I'm realizing that was unavoidable except for the Ping Pong root pre-5.1.1 update)

OK, so now I'm rooted with Marshmallow and the custom TWRP recovery, and am looking around for a custom rom to give me accesas to my hotspot. I've done quite a lot of searching, and I'm not finding any.

I was about to flash Tyrannus Rom, until I realized it was for 920F. (I'm unsure if flashing that will brick me- though I did do a full nandroid backup, of course). I'm not finding any custom roms that claim to be compatible with 920P (Sprint). I'd be most grateful for any suggestions. I just want a lean, debloated rom- ideally with ad blocker and hotspot. I got spoiled with Dirty Unicorns on the Nexus 5... would love something comparable, but there doesn't seem to be much to pick from.

Thanks!

EDIT: Just saw your reference for another poster to check out this thread about enabling hotspot on rooted phones. Just did it, and it works great.

(Still would love any recommendations for a nice de-bloated, ad blocking custom rom.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
http://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/development/rom-t3356220

The "LDB" version is "Lightly De-Bloated." If you are like me, there are things that you will still want to remove; use Titanium Back Up for that.

I always install AdAway myself; can't recall if that is built in or not.

Enjoy and thank the devs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] schleima:
Thanks very much for this. Checking it out right now.

Here's a dumb question. I bought Titanium Backup Pro a couple of years ago and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why it was preferable to a TWRP recovery backup. I see you mention its ability to remove embedded bloatware, and that's certainly useful. But in terms of the backup, does it do things a nandroid/recovery backup cannot? Why use Titanium when TWRP is so easy with a one swipe operation?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Okay, so I have all my apps installed. But a new version of the phone's OS comes out. Either an OTA that I need to install via ODIN or even a new ROM if I just want to be sure. Before install, I go into TiBU and run a batch operation to back up all user apps and data. Then I update my OS, re-load TiBU and have it restore all the apps. But keep the new OS. If I used a TWRP backup, it would take me back to the old OS.

Unlike TWRP, which backs up both apps and OS as a single file, TiBU is just restoring the apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] schleima:
I can see how that would be useful if we're talking about downloaded play store apps/games/etc.

But, it seems like TiBU lists (in the backup/restore tab) loads of cryptic system files like "HwModuleTest 6.0.1" and "FIDO UAF Client 15.0.77". How do I know which to select for backup and which ones not to? Or do you just select everything and go nuts?

Or by "batch operation", are you saying you simply use the "schedule" tab to back everything up every time? I take it the way to do this would be to do a one-time "backup new user+system apps & newer versions" and then do a regular scheduled backup for "redo backups for modified data"? I take it these backup files will overwrite themselves so we're not filling our precious 32gb of space with multiple copies of the same files?

Also, how do you know which bloatware you can uninstall without crashing the OS?

Thanks again! I've been wondering these questions for years. Glad I'm finally asking them!

EDIT: Google answers all.

http://trendblog.net/make-backups-android-apps-titanium-backup/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
1) Don't delete too much. TiBU also offers the option to freeze, not uninstall, which is a nice safety measure.

2) I go to Menu -> Batch actions -> Backup all user apps. I set my my maximum number of backups to 1 and let it back up periodically.

For Recovery there is also an option to create an Update.zip file (that you can flash in TWRP) with user apps and data.

Can I suggest that you start with this: http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-use-titanium-backup-286338/

I am big on the whole "Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime" philosophy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Jimmy1life:
I also use Tibu I also do this its not that complicated actually select apps and backup or restore hit then check mark to run. If u create the update.zip it just installes the app not data(unless im missing something) ive used Tibu for years #1 app bloatware melter.

[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cy56:
Hello everyone! First of all Thank you for being here to help me. Secondly I need your help in making a new ROM based on stock ASUS ROM. As you know there are already 2-3 stock based ROMs out there, what's different here. So here's the different I want to make. Let me first tell you that I'm a newbie here and never tried my hands on making a new ROM but I know the flashing, etc. methods. Here are the features:

Would be stock 3.24.40.87 based.

No ASUS app except Launcher, Camera SystemUI and Framework, just Google's default apps (like Google calendar, Gmail, Gallery/Photos, etc. Means users can just download GAPPS and flash).

No extra bloatware. (I want it like CM13, just stock apps and user's choice GAPPS)

Network Speed Indicator (like in other stock based roms).

Xposed flashable (I'd include the like for users.

Kernel with Double Tap To Wake support (you tell me which is best and don't have that reboot bug on log calls).

No Mods or anything.

I'd like to name it "Blank" ROM.

So, I'm completely newbie here, no coding knowledge except web dev. I don't know anything about ROM building, as I said before. Now you've to tell me:

Where and how to start?

Any Development Environment required or not, if yes then what is it?

How to get going?

Links or threads where I can find relevant info or Mods.

If you think this is too much and a newbie won't be able to handle such work, and you can do this yourself, you're welcome to use this idea make make the ROM! :)

Your problem is your using a Verizon phone on tmobil they use GSM while verizon uses cdma only sprint uses cdma also. Most of the world uses GSM. Most of the time when verizon note 3 users try to use roms from GSM carriers they get bugs where they can't get signal or text or mms.

What do you mean you made the Sim into a mini?

I'd say try to get a new Sim. Verizon should be unlocked for all us carriers.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njdan30:
I would try a newer sim also tmobile most t likely will give you one I have a punch fit cutting Sims and usually work but the old huge Sims are pretty dated in today's use. This phone shouldn't have a huge deal running gsm networks but like att let's say it usually favors edge or h+etc over lte but yes I have had lte on att with this phone before. After you set apns you should get decent speeds but unless you root you'll get that annoying sim not from Verizon error on top left corner I usually freeze that to get rid of it. The lte bands aren't all enabled on these they vary from Carrier to carrier but that's another story in other threads. I would possibly try another rom like I'm on which was setup for gsm use. Again that don't mean all the band's will perform like they should.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andresinibus:
I'll give that a shot
