[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] HaiLe512:
Is there another way...

I tried the paypal and it is forcing me to get a paypal account. I do not want to do that because I had one account before and someone went in my account and took out ~500USD one time. I was forced to close my checking account plus a credit card. I donate to others and the process does not require me to get a paypal account. Why it is here?

Please, Meschle, I do like your works and would like to buy you a beer or two but please ask paypal NOT to require to open a paypal account if payment is made via credit card. Please...

Thanks,

HaiLe:(
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] biou:
?????

You are joking?
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] HaiLe512:
Definitely NOT!!!

I donate to other people in other forum and have not been asked to open an account with Paypal. Paypal just take my credit card and that it. I think it is an option when someone open an account.

DONOT like paypal method and do not wish to open another account with them. I perfer to pay using my credit card...even with paypal but NOT going to open another paypal account. I did make donation before, FYI!
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] larsosca:
Hi

And again I have to say, it's a Great ROM! I’d just put a tenner into your account, meschle.

I was just going to make a donation so I tried HaiLe512's little problem.

I already have a PayPal account and I think it works great. I do not have a credit card connected for security reason even if PayPal recommend that.

With this donation I did not use my account and it worked fine. I had to use another email address than the one used on my PayPal account. At the end of the payment I got a proposal to create a PayPal account but I simply denied. And that’s it. Got the receipt to the issued email address.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] xSpartacusx:
i just downloaded kingoroot and plugged my phone in (the pc version) my phone is ZTE Zmax 2 Z955L from straight talk i think i just got it rooted BECAUSE

Kingo root says "root succeeded", and on my phone, a thing popped up asking to give root access to "super user"

however, the root check apps return it as not rooted. i dont know what this means and i am up for sharing screen shots.

Also most, if not all apps tat require root, will not work (at least for my case) because eventhough it asks for root permission, it will say that its been denied.

Please give me your thoughts about this :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xSpartacusx:
okay so i trie getting SuperSU from chainfire, asked for the binarys, so i hit install. but it wouldnt do anything but sit there at the installing window so i rebooted my phone and root was gone. in the kingo super user app, all the root access items that i allowed were still listed but it said there was no binary.

i tried rooting again with kingoroot and it said it failed.. not sure what to make of this

but do please give me your input :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tianyichen:
Kingo PC is working now. But your need to uninstall kingo superuser app in order to get root. or you need to go into kingo superuser app to Deny and Allow a few time for it to work. it's only a temp root. we need TWRP now!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lingo2012:
Kingo root failed on me to after i first rooted it not sure why it wont let you root again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xSpartacusx:
You could try factory resetting the device... I haven't tried that but just a thought.

I'm hoping this might be the first step to getting root on Zmax 2!!! (I also hope I helped a bit)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] motolio:
King root via PC worked fine for me. I have debloated so far with success. I'm check for a super user dependant test, like hot-spot for super users and we'll get back at ya!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wanderlustwasted:
Wow, can you double check to make sure you actually rooted the phone, Hemanolio? If the Zmax 2 is truly rooted (and not just temporary) then a lot of people out there are going to be really happy! :laugh::laugh:

I just bought one myself from best buy. just waiting for it to get delivered in the next few days.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Induced_Apathy:
The Kingo App (kingoapp.com) worked as a temporary root. Kingroot didn't work for me but I didn't have the drivers installed when I attempted to use it first. This worked for me on two Zmax2 phones and allowed me to remove all bloatware. Both my devices are firmware B12 (ATT GO Phone requires ATT sim to update). Works like a charm but seems to be temporary.

AFAIK ZTE sells an unlocked version of this phone that isn't carrier branded so eventually it might be possible to get more reliable updates that way or perhaps a clean stock rom with just ZTE bloat. I don't have much hope on all that though.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jockey1010:
What are you using to remove bloatware? KingoRoot successfully rooted my phone and the Root Checker is reported that it's all good, but every app that I use to remove the apps is failing. I can't manually do it either, I get errors.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Induced_Apathy:
You can use the Kingroot app itself to remove things you don't want namely the ATT software all of it plus all the Google apps minus the play store.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] iamhimay:
Not really

Kingo does not really work. All I succeeded in doing was changing my search engine in firefox. I'm sure it's great for all the other phones, but this one does not work.

EDIT: Should mention mine is Z958
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mentalityx:
Using Kingo root and all it tells me is unknown network error.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] motolio:
So, apparently it was temp rooted by kingo, but was able to install king root (which failed to root), but every so often king root pops up with a root error warning...I press the back button and it takes me to the full king root app with all the options, including debloating, and now Wifi Access Point app works. Tethering was my main desire, so I'm satisfied. Again, I temp rooted with kingo and then installed kingroot
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Evan_cole:
zmax 2 does have perma root

mine is currently rooted (fully & permanently) just had to disable system read/write protection with this method: androidforums(dot)com/threads/zte-write-protection-for-zmax-and-other-zte-phones.1040331/

afterwards i ran kingo root pc, then ran the droid version* then used supersume. voila persistant root working on z955a zmax 2

does this help anyone? hope so

ran both pc and droid version because pc version was not detected by supersume. droid version was. using droid version only might be quicker and still work. not sure
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xSpartacusx:
Does that work for the Z955l from straight talk? Also how do I run adb commands?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jahfry:
Yep. Makes sense because the Z955A is the unlocked version.

For folks who have the Z958, the story isn't as easy. But the info should help the Z955A users.

I'd bet the Z955L is locked in the same manner as the Z958.

I may attempt to root my Z958 but not until I get my new phone (the Z958 is a backup since my Nexus was destroyed).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] idntknoyunw:
Any update on the z958 status?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tzh2231:
What particular version of kingo root did you guys use to get temp root?

I have not had any luck yet, a link would be helpful, thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xSpartacusx:
I used whatever the latest one was at the time.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viggy96:
Hey, I've been using the automatic rules for priority/do not disturb mode in Marshmallow, but I've noticed that lately the phone doesn't automatically turn off this mode after the specified time. For example, I have my class schedule in Google Calendar, and it doesn't exit priority mode after class. Same with nighttime; come morning, its still in 'alarm only' mode.

My phone is rooted, stock rom, w/ xposed framework. I've tried disabling Gravitybox, but that didn't help. I'm thinking it might be a bug with N-ify, because I think it started after I used that, but even if I disable that module, it doesn't fix itself. Otherwise the phone works fine.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
Are you rebooting after disabling N-ify?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viggy96:
Yeah, I am.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viggy96:
Yeah, I am rebooting after disabling N-ify. In fact, I just restored a backup from before N-ify, and I still have the same problem. I just did the system, cache and boot partitions though, didn't restore data, to save on space.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viggy96:
Solved. Just figured out that SoundAbout's notification listener is interfering with that mode.

Thanks guys.

This could be good or bad.

It could be bad and me might have something like Samsung or LG and never get updates. (however, i dont think it will come to this as i feel that would take almost everything that makes a nexus a "nexus")

It could be good and the "Nexus" line might turn into something more along the lines of "Google Play Edition" or more like a Moto X style rom.

To me this makes much more sense. We still get the essence of pure android with a few cool tweaks.

If this were to be the case the number 1 thing i hope that comes out of it is that the OEM would provide the camera app instead of the garbage one Google has.

This was such the case with the HTC One M7 Google Play Edition (or was it an M8?)

And with HTC rumored to make the next set of Nexus phones we might just get that. Hopefully they dont use a garbage sensor though like HTC has recently been known to do.

What do you guys think this could mean?
[Nexus 6P General] bikeryder007:
We don't run "stock Android" now. All that article means is that the stock rom on Nexus phones will get more built in features.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
Nexus phones aren't selling well so they need something to give them more selling power. The average consumer sees Samsung phones etc with "amazing" feature so will buy that over a Nexus. The fact Google tried to market the 6P more at the mainstream shows that they're truing to get away from a developer type of phone and more features in the software shows this.Im not entirely happy with this, I'd rather have a pure Android phone and be able to the devs cook something better up rather than have a phone with unnecessary features which ultimately slow it down.
[Nexus 6P General] daewond3r:
This.

I welcome new, proprietary features in Google's Android. I trust them not to bog down the OS like other OEM's do. After all, it's their OS.
[Nexus 6P General] WizeGuyDezignz:
This is great news and what might bring me back to a Nexus phone in the future. Stock Android is way too boring and feature thin imo. I definitely wouldn't mind features added by Google all while not bogging it down and keeping it lean.
[Nexus 6P General] Zaphon:
Uhh how about no. The reason I stick with Nexus phones is for the pure android experience. This just says they don't understand their customer base at all, and are instead focused on the people who buy other phones (let them have their other phones).
[Nexus 6P General] bikeryder007:
Read this. It will help explain. Nexus phones are Google's Android complete with their proprietary apps and services. I happen to love it, but it is what it is.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/06/02/its-time-to-let-the-phrase-stock-android-die-opinion/
[Nexus 6P General] PuffinNugz:
I don't see it that way at all. I just see this as the next step in the evolution of android. Naturally more and more features are added. The current form of android is much more feature packed than, say, the version that came on the galaxy nexus and previous. Those earlier versions didn't even have quick settings tiles, even though the galaxy s phones did. Would you prefer to be that way still? I sure as hell couldn't do without QS in the drop down. So, if you prefer having those over not having them, then you need to accept the next step. Besides, quick settings are one of MANY features added since the start. Go back to an unmodified galaxy nexus, I'm sure you would hate it after having what you have now. Face it, features get added as the OS matures.
[Nexus 6P General] Zaphon:
Right but those are now base features of stock Marshmallow. What I don't want is Google building their own Touchwiz or something else that only the Nexus phones get. That's hardly what I see as the answer. I hate what Samsung, LG, etc. do to the OS on their phones. But I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

Interesting article, but it seems more like a semantics issue than anything. I guess I fall into the group of "Stock Android" meaning as shipped on the Nexus phone by Google. But specifically in that it felt basically functional versus flashy and bloated like the rest of the manufacturers tend to shoot for. I don't want iOS, I don't want Touchwiz, I don't want any of the other variants. So to me it's like AOSP and Stock Android have blended and become synonymous to me. *shrugs*
[Nexus 6P General] Heisenberg:
I really think you're reading way too much into this. All the article says is that Google will be thoughtfully adding more

features

. Four years ago the quick settings tiles would have been one of these new features. Two years ago the fingerprint reader would have been one of these new features. This year with Android N multi-screen will be one of these new features. These have all been steps forward for Android, adding functionality and improving the UX. Adding new features doesn't mean they're going to add a skin or some of the bloaty crap that Samsung add, it just means new features.
[Nexus 6P General] superchilpil:
This thread is just a huge facepalm..

Really if Google wants to slap a custom skin over stock android then who am I to care? Google always designs their devices to be customisable. So say you don't like it then you could flash a custom ROM built off of AOSP and you have what you wanted.

The Nexus line has always been built more for the developer crowd, but I have a feeling they're trying to reach out to your average consumer by adding "Features" while still appealing to the developers with the openness that they've always had.
[Nexus 6P General] sherlock5545:
These assumptions don't make sense and you are reading too much into it. A custom skin? After all the money they spent and researching and developing Material Design? They won't change anything, they will add new features as times goes one. Android N is already an example of this. The design paradigm will change eventually, it will be an evolution to Material Design, just like Material Design succeeded Holo.
[Nexus 6P General] faybarn:
There's always custom ROMs, as long as the bootloader's still easy to unlock who cares if they add more to stock rom, people will always create custom ROMs. If you don't know how to unlock and install a custom ROM then maybe a nexus just isn't for you.
[Nexus 6P General] zelendel:
The next change will be a huge one. Too many people complaining about the way MD looks. Even app developers are starting to refuse to use the MD guidelines. Can't say I blame them when people would rather pirate older versions instead of using the MD versions.

I wouldn't count on there always being roms. Google has even began not pushing fixes to aosp. Many developers are seeing this. Google will fix something in the release builds but never updating the code to aosp. So aosp stays broken.
[Nexus 6P General] sherlock5545:
Sources? That's doesn't seem right to me. MD apps are increasing day by day. If anything, only a niche of people complain about MD, and not because they don't like it, but because they tend to prefer apps not to change the design they have been used to for ages. Recently even Google said Material Design is being adopted at a really fast rate. It won't change any time soon, that is certain.
[Nexus 6P General] zelendel:
Go look at the Google groups. The people that don't like it just really don't like it. It's not that they don't want things to change. MD is a running joke that people say should have a fisher price copyright to it lol

Me personally. I don't update any app that updates to the MD guidelines. I have like 15 apps with updates that will never be updated
[Nexus 6P General] sherlock5545:
So basically less than probably 1% of the users? Good joke. Luckily you aren't a designer and MD is growing faster than ever.
[Nexus 6P General] zelendel:
Well considering the people here are the same percentage that mod their devices that is alot of people. I wouldnt call anyone that uses MD a designer. Not hard to find inspiration from a pre-K kids class lol.

I make my own themes and theme the apps on my phone so I personally dont have to worry about MD at all.

Its nots a surprise that alot of people like it. When their first thought of a phone is getting 5hr SOT (losers lol) and their first device was an iphone. What I and many devs find funny is that people were making fun of apple with the fruity design and yet its ok for google. And people wonder why devs dont take the average person seriously.
[Nexus 6P General] sherlock5545:
Bollocks. Care to show some of these themes you make? lol
[Nexus 6P General] zelendel:
You can find them around. They are all for personal use and I only share them with a few other devs and users on the site. Just have a look for Zelendel and gotham and you will find some older ones easy enough.

I never share my themes with normal users for reasons.
[Nexus 6P General] sherlock5545:
Like this one?

https://chikibujia.wordpress.com/2012/12/10/zelendels-gotham-golauncher-themes/

I'll be honest, this is the type of themes I'd never want on anything I own. Some may like it, but the ugly halogen effect, the uneven iconography, etc. don't really fit nicely. This might look nice to you, not to me. I'd call that something a themer would do right after starting off. The type of stuff I used to see 4/5 years ago. I'm not gonna say it's bad, or kid works. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
[Nexus 6P General] zelendel:
That is one of the ports done for one of them yes. A theme that is still ported to this day with requests to bring it to MD. A couple of the versions I dont like. The bright colored ones mainly. I also didnt do those as I would never make a theme for any GO app.

The basic theme fit a bit better. As for the icons that is funny as they are professionally done.

No my style doesnt fit everyone. I planned it that way. I didnt want alot of people to use it. I dont cater to sheep to be honest. If you walk with the majority then we walk different paths.

If you look on the play store. The most bought themes remove MD all together.
