[Huawei P9 Accessories] Akinaro:
I work in car workshop and sometimes we stick those carbon-like stickers on car parts, and sometimes I use it to cover other things like laptop cover or speakers so after I got P9 it was a matter of time to use it on it...

I actually did that with my previous Xperias phones, but with P9 this is more tricky to use those stickers because it have rounded edges.

Here is my first test on how it would look on my phone:

As you can see I skipped upper part of phone, because i didnt had in home scalpel that is needed to cut such small parts. Also its first test, so edges aren't perfect.

Later I will get scalpel from work and I will try to cut it properly.

As for actual materials, we use those cheap stickers that you can buy in packs of 1x3m, they cost less than 5 Euro. Rest it standard: hair dryer, scalpel or any precision knife and ruler. That first try took me about 15 min to cut and apply.

So overall I think its better to try it by yourself before spending 10Euro on it. And even if it will not work, you still could stick it on any other device in your home :D
[Huawei P9 Accessories] austriker27:
Wow, that's really slick looking!

Did you put any on the front bezels ?
[Huawei P9 Accessories] Akinaro:
Nope, I hate putting anything in front of the phone, its look weird and "cheap" and because you swipe your fingers all the time near edges its give that really annoying feel of "its gonna fell off".

I also get new idea how to make it to fit perfectly on back of the phone. I just make precise template on my computer, and then just print it on back of the sticker, and cut it with scalpel. I totally forgot that my printer support any paper, so it dont care if its not perfect A4 format -_-
[Huawei P9 Accessories] shaunydub:
Nice, looks good.

How easy do you think it will be to remove in case you sell the phone?

I never had skins on my devices before.
[Huawei P9 Accessories] Akinaro:
damn hard, it could take you almost 5 second to peel it off :]

EDIT: Here is latest try, this time with upper part near camera.

After whole day of testing I can say that its damn good looking and it really hard to accidentally peel it off, even on that small part that have less than 3mm.
[Huawei P9 Accessories] austriker27:
Thanks for sharing! sweet pics! of course now im thinking about selling my P9 and upgrading to the P9 plus which means no DBrands for me sadly
[Huawei P9 Accessories] Akinaro:
I would rather wait for P10 that will be on market somewhere April-June(release should be March April but we can say that it hit global market month later).

I got my P9 last December, but as I said, all that moding and "more poweeer!" stuff is behind me and I just wanted good looking and good working phone, and P9 give me all that. Actually comparing to any other phone on market even mid-end ones.... they all the same in everyday usage, I was testing galaxy s7 for 3 days before getting P9 and.... nothings special, screen is better and VR(that I use and create content for it) is better, but beside that its all the same.

Today its a matter of picking phone based on look and screen size/res, rest work the same honestly, even camera that quality more depend on person who take pic rather than camera it self.

And I think Dband WILL be supporting P10, maybe not instantly but month or two later and it should be there, after all P series, especially P8 lite and P9 lite are really popular so bigger brothers should get all of that fancy addons from other companies like Dband.

Mitch thanks ty guy, I searched for some nice skins for a long time until I gave it up. Now I read this thread and I'm flashed by the website!

[Huawei P9 Accessories] david.giessing:
Yes i believe all of their skins are textured.

[Huawei P9 Accessories] Circuitable:
I've never used the skin before so what I'm asking is would I be able to use the skin and then and then a tempered glass screen protector above or would they have some kind of weird gap between the screen and the protector (which would be a deal breaker for me)?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris5h:
Hi all, Just rooted and installed Nova on my 5th gen fire 7 and it worked perfectly. (I had another one that died so this has worked for me in the past). I then installed Goolge Play serviced, rebooted, but when I reboot it tells me "Couldn't Sign In. There was a problem communications with the Google servers" when I try to log into Play.

I first just use the "Install Google Apps" section here:

http://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/development/amazon-fire-5th-gen-supertool-root-t3272695

and when it didnt work I tried this version:

I get the same result with both. I did notice I get a notification that says "An application requires an update for Goog.... Google Requested by google Play Services" but when I tap on it it it just takes me back to the logn screen again.

HELP PLEASE!?!

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Enable two factor authentication on your Google account and then try again. Should work. Once you have connected for the first time you *should* be able to disable two factor if you find it bothersome. Depending how you use your Google account keeping two factor authentication enabled can be a good security measure.

[Xposed General] oshikuru:
I'm not able to change the return values of a method. The hook is working. Even the logs are correct - but when i actually call the method in another app the real information is shown.

findAndHookMethod("android.net.wifi.WifiInfo", lpparam.classLoader, "getSSID",new XC_MethodHook() {
@Override
protected void afterHookedMethod(MethodHookParam param) throws Throwable {
XposedBridge.log("getSSID1 "+(String) param.getResult());
param.setResult("\"Changed\"");
XposedBridge.log("getSSID2 "+(String) param.getResult());
}

@Override
protected void beforeHookedMethod(MethodHookParam param) throws Throwable {
}
});

Output:

getSSID1 "realSSID"
getSSID2 "Changed"

In app the call actually produces: "realSSID"

Can you help me with that?
[Xposed General] gitfib:
what about when you setResult in beforeHookedMethod instead (thus the getSSID won't be called)?

have you ensured that the app calls getSSID to receive this information, and not from cache or something?
[Xposed General] oshikuru:
I tried beforeHookedMethod and MethodReplacement - same result. And getSSID is called because i can see the XposedBridge logs.
[Xposed General] gitfib:
is it an app you wrote? i see from this answer that it can also be retrieved from getBSSID, and it could be the app was checking the string returned by getSSID or was using it for something else
[Xposed General] oshikuru:
Yes i use an own app for checking if it works. So i'm 100% sure i'm calling getSSID() - the method i've hooked.
[Xposed General] gitfib:
the following works for me:

in module:

if (lpparam.packageName.equals("gitfib.hooks.sdaccounts")) {
XposedHelpers.findAndHookMethod("android.net.wifi.WifiInfo", lpparam.classLoader,
"getSSID",
new XC_MethodHook() {
@Override
protected void afterHookedMethod(MethodHookParam param) throws Throwable {
super.afterHookedMethod(param);

param.setResult("ssid");
}
});
}

in activity (same package in onCreate):

WifiInfo info = ((WifiManager) getSystemService(WIFI_SERVICE)).getConnectionInfo();
Log.i("wifiinfo", info.getSSID());

before rebooting it showed actual ssid

[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] WhiteWashed:
Hi guys...a friend of mine bricked his Gear 2 Neo when he was trying to flash the stock firmware with Odin. The problem is that he accidentally left the "Re-Partition" option checked and, after the flashing was complete, the Gear didn't boot past the bootanimation anymore. After the Samung Gear 2 bootanimation, the smartwatch just turns off (or the screen goes black, idk). Tried to flash again the stock firmware (and different versions) but nothing works. :(
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Youdoofus:
if you can get to odin mode, you should be fine. Try flashing this tar.md5 file in odin
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] WhiteWashed:
Thank you for helping. I've flashed the file on both AP and CSC but it didn't work...after the boot logo, the smartwatch turned off...just like when I tried to flash the stock firmware. I've tried to flash the Android Wear ROM and I managed to get into TWRP and I've tried to format system, data and cache but TWRP gave me the error "unable to mount /" for all partitions. Partitions are messed up but I don't know how to restore them :( some other ideas?
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Youdoofus:
i wonder if you somehow messed up the partition table. I havent seen a PIT file for the gear 2 neo, but its gotta be around here somewhere

[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] WhiteWashed:
Already found that thread and that PIT file but when I try to flash it, ODIN says "FAILED"...so I looked for another PIT file and found this site. With the PIT of this site, ODIN flashed everything without errors but the smartwatch still doesn't boot :(:(:( tried different ROMs (the stock tizen one and different versions of the android wear ROM port) on both AP and CSC but no result at all..maybe I'm missing something, so if you have precise instructions on how to flash this PIT file it would be nice. At this point, I'm really desperate :crying:
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Youdoofus:
man, im not too familiar with flashing PIT files, other than trying to avoid it at all costs unless the partition table has been messed up. I dont think youre missing anything tho. Ive read that having to reflash the tizen tar.md5 a couple of times back to back with the reboot box unchecked has been a successful thing for some folks. But youre gonna just want to use the AP selection in Odin tho
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] WhiteWashed:
Tried countless times to flash stock firmware with and without the PIT file...but it really looks like the smartwatch is gone for good... :(

OMG guys the miracle happened...it works !!!

did you check the re-partition box? i ask because i didnt think that would do anything

[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] g355150:
Didnt want to create a new thread since I am having a similar issue and tried to use the solutions from this thread, to no avail.

I got a refurbished Gear 2 Neo as gift and it was working okay. However, some apps such as heart rate didnt function. Also, I couldnt transfer music to the device and some other things, so I decided to do a factory reset on it from the settings menu. Watch has not functioned since.

I can get to the reboot menu (continue, download, recovery, shutdown). If I press continue it will show the gear 2 boot screen, then the samsung boot animation =, then black screen. If I press download, it takes me to the download option and I can flash files through odin with no errors. However, when it reboots, same black screen. If I try the recovery option, same thing.....black screen. If it is of and I plug it in, it vibrates and charges, but I cannot get it to boot past the samsung animation.

I have tried flashing a PIT file, stock FW, tizen ROM......nothing works. I got a refurb because I wanted this exact watch, but it is discontinued. I am not new to flashing. I have a rooted and flashed a Galaxy s5, my current phone Note 4 and y current tablet, a samsung Note 10.1 2014.

edit.....http://xdaforums.com/gear-2-neo/development/android-wear-gear-2-gear-2-neo-t3182056

I flashed the ROM from this thread and my watch works........go figure. I would still like to figure out what is wrong when I flash OEM FW
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] xEmre66:
Seems to have SoftBrick. I have no idea. You can't get into Recovery and it doesn't boot. Send it to Samsung for Repairing. :(
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] g355150:
No longer soft bricked. I followed the recovery instructions from the android wear thread and I was able to switch back to Tizen

Going back to Tizen

BE ADVISED: GOING BACK TO TIZEN MIGHT PROVE DIFFICULT TO ANYBODY WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF THE WATCH, SDB, ADB, AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T USE ODIN. DON'T PM ME FOR IT. IT'S WRITTEN BELOW. ASK IN THE Q&A SECTION PLEASE. THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT THREAD, AND THESE IMAGES ARE FOR DEVELOPMENT ONLY.

BE ADVISED (again): There's no PIT file for this watch. If your favourite flashing app for samsung phones requests one, use Odin. I know, I don't like it either. But we live in a world full of virtual machines with the ability to share USB ports. Now it's your chance to use them if you don't feel like installing Windows in your machine.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] CTXCI:
Every time I try to download the Huawei unlock tool from their website, it takes me to a Chinese website saying that the server is busy. I was wondering if someone has that software file floating around on their computer that they could upload on here so I can download it?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] CCHIPSS:
Don't bother with that unlock tool. I downloaded it and it didn't work on my PC at all. And I am not disabling my virus scanner for some 3rd party Chinese software. That burnt me in the past.

Instead get the bootloader unlock code from the official Huawei website. Follow my guide here:

http://xdaforums.com/ascend-mate2/general/guide-step-step-wind-mobile-canada-t3387490

1) Get boatloader unlock code. Its 16 characters and you must get it from Huawei. If you cannot get this code you can stop right here. Nothing online will help you and there is no way around it. Trust me, I tried.

Lucky for you Huawei make it very easy now and automated the process. Before you must email mobile@huawei.com and wait for them to reply. (from what I read.)

Now you can get it here:

https://community.gethuawei.com/developers/f/48/t/1048

Or direct link:

http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php...amp;mod=detail

I logged in with my Facebook. But you can try to create and login with your Huawei ID.

After logging in, you need to give them these information to get the bootloader unlock code:

---Product Model: MT2L03

---Product Serial Number: From the box of your phone. Or you can open up your phone case and look at the sticker on the battery for it. It is 16 characters. (The Serial Number as recorded in your phone memory is only 12 characters. It is not valid here.

---IMEI: From the box of your phone. Or you can open up your phone case and look at the sticker on the battery for it. Or type *#06# on your phone pad.

---Product ID: Type *#*#1357946#*#* on your phone pad.

After you get this code, record it somewhere and keep it safe. Huawei will only give you this code a few times before they start to seriously questioning you (from what I heard). So once you get it, expect to never be able ask for it again.

(Rooting is unnecessary. But you must unlock your bootloader, which will be done in step 5 below. )
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] CTXCI:
Thanks for the response. I was able to finally get their online unlock tool on Huawei website to load, but now it's giving me an error saying I need to double check the model number, but I have everything inputted correctly. ):
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] CCHIPSS:
Double check to make sure all the numbers are correct. Refresh the verification code before entering and submitting. Once you hit submit, wait patiently and do not hit submit again. It is slow and takes a while.

If they are and it still doesn't work, maybe you need to email to Huawei after all.

It seem they are updating that system. When I did it a few days ago, they never asked about if the product is a Smartphone or a Tablet.

P.S. You should remove that image containing your phone's information. This is public space and you don't want people stealing that. :P
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] CTXCI:
Thanks for all of your help. I'll wait until tomorrow to try it again. Hopefully it'll turn around and work eventually. I removed the picture, thanks for the heads up (:
