[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rasikreality:
Yes! I've read it and I have my PC ready to root my device but I'm so insecure and I need to have things clearly before I start to make things.

Thank you, again, for your help. And I hope this is my last question:

Now that I know that the things I need to keep up to date are bootloader, vendor and radio, and in your guide you say that flashing a factory image I'll lose all my data, will it happens to me when i update one of those things (only vendor/bootloader/radio)?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Flashing the factory images only wipes your data if you:

A) Flash the userdata.img

B) Format userdata

Neither of those are necessary for you so you're fine.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daffie:
Rooting? Darn yes! :good:

The Nexus line is so sweet for easy rooting and also for returning to complete stock if so desired.

Hey guys , does anyone know if sony will bring the new android N for z2 devices ?

So far, there is no announcement from Sony regarding N availability to their devices.

Hello Everyone! I have downloaded marshmallow update on my J700H and now I am happy with the motion and gestures along with the smart features but i am disappointed with ram about 744MB is used by the system.I am getting worse battery life than lollipop.So i was wondering if any one can make a stock J7 Marshallow debloated,optimized and deodexed ROM.I would also like to have a kernel with a lot of features like double tap to wake,drawing gestures to launch an app and along with power saving cpu governors.

Or if any of you know how to do this stuff,I can give you my IMEIs and you can put it into your own QCN backup and sent it me.That way you won't have to disclose your IMEIs.

Anyone?
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
I certainly cannot speak for the Senior Members or the highly-experienced Developers here in XDA, but I do know that the areas of telephony involving IMEI numbers and /cid partitions get into a slippery slope in the areas of legality and professional ethics. While it is not in any way illegal to restore your phone's original IMEI number, you will likely find great reluctance from any experienced dev in assisting you in this matter. Try Googling "CDMA Workshop" and see if some of that software can be of any help. Much luck to you...

Sorry, I don't modify or alter IMEI numbers. As mentioned above, changing an IMEI, to the best of my knowledge, is illegal in many places in the world.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] droidnew:
Well...Making a long story short, a grandchild of mine played with the lockscreen on my Verizon S7 edge. And you know whats coming....a password was set, a password was forgotten, and a phone was reset. Now, Google's FRP lock is in action, and no matter what I do I can't get around it. My Google account information doesn't work on the phone now.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] mwshows:
This sounds a bit sketchy. FRP only requires you to sign into the phone with the original Gmail account that the phone was set up with. That's it. So do you not know your Gmail account password that you used to set up the phone? Or did you change actual Gmail password first and then try setting up the phone within 72 hours of changing your account password? Something isn't making much sense. If you can log into your Google account on your computer, then you can log into it on your phone...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Beefheart:
This thing is there to prevent the phone being stolen and sold off to someone else. It's obviously imperative that your account details be noted in the event of this and/or OEM Unlock be selected in Developer Options.

I had this happen to me a week or so back, I was messing around with the phone trying to get ADB to authorise on my laptop, and somehow I must have disabled the OEM unlock. Next reboot, it refused point blank to boot into either Android or recovery (which was TWRP). Fortunately, I knew my Google credentials so I simply flashed stock, booted, logged into my Google account when it asked (after it made clear the phone wouldn't work if I didn't), turn OEM Unlock back on, flashed TWRP again and restored my Nandroid backup from a few days earlier. Crisis over. Obviously, without those credentials you potentially have a serious problem.

However, as suggested, contact Google. Providing you can prove you are the holder of the account (and I assume you can), then I imagine there would be ways around this. I'm also unsure why you mention the lockscreen. It has nothing to do with that. FRP lock is entirely down to the Google account on the phone when the FRP lock occurs.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] killem2:
No, don't contact google. No don't bother with any of this bypass crap.

Contact samsung. Tell them you are the owner of the device and would like to get it unlocked. They will ask for a very detailed list of information to prove you are the owner of the device. Once they get this information from you they will send you an email and a Pre Paid label to mail it to them. Samsung will unlock it and mail it back to you.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] rickst29:
Hmm - Saumsung WOULD NOT reset my phone. I have a $200 Boat Anchor?

After 2 support "cases" closed with no notification to my *other* phone or my email, Samsung did send a shipping label, and I sent the phone. Upon arrival at their service center, they proposed a fee of about $70 to perform the re-initialization. I paid the fee with delight. They next advised me that they won't do the job. Perhaps it was because the phone is 8 months "out of warranty".

They did not dispute the validity of my purchase transaction. If this is their idea of "Support", I will not buy another Samsung phone again. Closing support incidents without notification to the problem reporter is garbage, and billing before refusing to do the work is worse than garbage. :(
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Atlantisman:
So i am running into a very strange issue that i haven't been able to find much information on. I am running the latest OOS (3.1.2) rooted, i had changed the DPI a few days ago using build prop editor and everything seemed to be working just fine, except my camera, it suddenly would freeze when a picture is taken, crash, and not produce a picture, and sometimes the picture would be just green.

Here is what iv'e tried:

removed the line from build prop editor and rebooted to get to stock DPI

changed the DPI to stock with the toolkit, then back to a different DPI, then back to stock.

removed the camera app cache

factory reset the phone

Strangely enough the camera in HDR mode appears to work just fine, but it doesn't appear to work in any other mode (including video).

Using the camera with flash always turned on in pretty much any mode seems to also work.

I changed DPI with Le DPI Changer (non build.prop method) and everything is working fine. You might want to check it out.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] hasenbein1966:
That's why I always say that global DPI change is not a good idea, period.

Much better and additionally more flexible is using the Xposed module "App Settings" where you can run every app at an individual DPI setting and tweak some more things (e. g. having an app run with its tablet UI).
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] nono77240:
I had the same issue on OOS 3.1.3 rooted and DPI changed.

I enabled RAW mode and it fixed the issue.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] jiznon:
What DPI value did you set it to? No issues with camera, icons, widgets, etc?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] crumble6:
400. No issues at all except that when I use "large text" captions in snapchat they display fine on my screen but the text is much smaller and out of position on my friends' phones. Literally not a single other problem with any app I've tried though. :svetius: I've heard 380 works good too. Tempted to try it but tbh I'm happy at 400 for now.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] jiznon:
Thanks for the quick reply. So far my experience has been frustrating.

1) Changed DPI to 400 via build.prop edit. Resulted in camera issues. Could not reset DPI or change to any other value. Had to reflash OOS 3.1.3 to fix.

2) Did some research. Heard a OP3 toolkit here on xda could change DPI without issue (I believe it just uses the adb method) . Used it to change to 400. Camera is fine, but I experience wonky sizing issues with widgets, icons on notification banners, twitter photo previews, and a few other little text size issues. Tried using the toolkit to return to default DPI but it simply doesn't change anything.

3) Per your account of this app, I tried it but it us unable to make any change. Looks like I may have to reflash AGAIN, and attempt the Le DPI Changer again.

Bah.

https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/4satgq/changing_op3_dpi_using_buildprop_without_breaking/

ro.sf.lcd_density=400 in build.prop works just fine on my device running stock OOS 3.2.1.

[BIG RANT START] DON'T READ IF YOU'RE TOO SENSIBLE

All roms, they're almost the same. People get the sources, compile it, and release it.. and they all looks like the same.

Every non-stock-based (TW) rom looks and runs almostly identical.. They have almost the same functions, almost the same stability, they share the same "device tree" and kernel.

Even boeffla's kernel has no new features for AGES. And the "developer" just blames Samsung and wash his hands.. (and I have "donated" for his app)

I'm sick of no specific S5 stuff, improvements FOR s5 or performance tweaks FOR s5. I bet they mostly don't even USE a S5 anymore.

Even the ****ing microfone has ultra-low recording volume for AGES and no one cares. They just COMPILE what they DOWNLOAD from others and "release" it here.

And there are people THANKING them for making just this. Come on, it's not a matter of being ungrateful, but to be critical. I don't like mediocrity!

If you appear to be totally satisfied with the **** you're receiving, no one will give you more than ****!

And NO, I don't have to "do better" to complain about it or be critical about it. When did GOD say that you can't complain about something just because you can't do better? or it's just a xda's RULE to be a totally grateful lame fanboy about everything you're getting here? I'm just not mediocre.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RazzMcTazz:
On my old LG phone I used to run custom ROMs in order to free-up internal memory & squeeze out more performance (on an aging phone) and to get some additional features (on an aging OS). I haven't bothered to install a custom ROM on my Galaxy S5 because:

1) Stock Android 6.0.1 is

really

good.

2) Rooting enables you to remove bloatware and free up memory, via Titanium Backup. I've got all the apps I want and no memory shortage.

3) Installing the Xposed framework, and some Xposed apps (especially XtouchWiz) has brought to my GS5 all of the "built-in" features that I'd want from custom ROMs.

4) Custom ROMs tend to be a bit buggy and tend to waste a lot of my time because I have to update the buggy ROMs.

I am now perfectly happy with my GS5 and I can't think of a reason why I'd want to hassle with installing a custom ROM. But that's just me.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cdub1976:
This sure turned into a whine fest. Install what you want. The great thing about having custom roms is the ability to flash different builds in order to get the features you want. I prefer stock cm13. Only issue that I have is Bluetooth stuttering on wake. There's it. Everything else is stable and predictable. Using xposed with a few modules adds some features normally in RR or Bliss but with, for me, without the lag.

Why I choose custom over stock? I cannot stand the thought of being locked down to a device I own outright. I should have the right to change my status bar. I should have the right to choose what apps I want on my device. I should have the right after paying 600 at the time to full control over my device.
