quite easy to do with another launcher. You can do it with nova launcher how you want it.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slim207rc:
And wth!? Nothing easier than a Sony ui menu. Almost complete stock Android. You should even have a quick search bar on top, you can move your apps in the app draw where you want them to be etc.

It's all a little more overviewed compared to Samsung, that's one reason I love sony's ui so much :)
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rastla:
stock sony ui doesn't have a search bar at top (only the google now launcher).

its just that old grid view i know from early android days. i would even go so far, to compare it to windows 98.

it's impractical and definitively not good overviewed imho.

what can be more practical than a simple A-Z list?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manneman32:

Hello, I have a soft bricked samsung galaxy grand prime sm-g530t1. I have tried flashing the recovery tar file but failed, I have also tried flashing the stock firmware which led to another failing because of "Volume size is too big 4362240 < 4546560 ODIN : Invalid ext4 image", and apparently I now have an error that occurred from updating the device software but when I tried using kies 3, smart switch, and kies 2.6 It says that my device isn't responding or it's unsupported.

Moto X Pure for Sprint. It does not seem to utilize the Sprint LTE Plus speed. I only get normal LTE speed which is not doubled compared to the new LTE plus phones for Sprint. Any suggestions?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirrin:
My thought is you will need a new phone moto z looks nice....

But seriously sprint LTE plus is band 2.5 1.9 GHz and 800mhz in a mimo style connection if the radio is not specifically compatible for that type of connection then you need new hardware...
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
The Moto X Pure has the correct hardware for Sprint's "LTE Plus", Spark, or Advanced LTE uses carrier aggregation of 3 different LTE bands (25, 26, and 41), but the software implementation is not there.

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hi!

I have an Asus ME176C tablet (Memo Pad 7 serie) aaand I fried the motherboard. As my old phone at this point is only good for making calls, without tablet I'd need a new phone/tab, but I don't have the money and probably won't be able to buy a new one for some time. Because of this I've thought about replacing the motherboard, but I have a few questions about this.

1) Is it possible that other parts connected to the MB are damaged as well? Battery, screen, anything. So basically, if I get a working motherboard, how likely it is to work?

2) The tablet came in 2 versions, 8GB and 16GB. As far as I know, everything else is the same (on paper), only the storage is different. Can it cause a problem, if I put the different one in?

3) This one is to those who actually have experience: outside of some foreign webshop that doesn't ship to my country, I only found 2-3 motherboards on Ebay. I only bought cheap minor stuff so far from there and don't know how things are in this area. I know there is always a possibility of a scam, but is it more likely with things like this? Should I go for it and hope for the best, or is this kind of stuff maybe a no-go on Ebay? Sadly I can't post links, but maybe someone can search for it and see how legit it looks? The one I was looking at goes under the name "Placa Base Motherboard Asus MemoPad K013 ME176C 8 GB"

Thanks for the help.

Hello!

Sadly my G5 ist broken and I have to send it to a reprair center.

The center has the habit to upgrade any phone they receive to the newest firmware

My phone has a single dust particle inside the camera glass[emoji20] though it's not affecting the camera, I'm afraid that it might attract more dust in the future as the phone is just 20days old. Btw this is a replacement device as the first device which I received had a pinkish tint on the left side of the screen.

Hi guys,

I'll bring this zombie topic back to life :)

So have any of you changed the lcd screen themselves?

How many connectors are there on the screen assembly?

I can clearly see just one in the middle of the phone next to the battery.

When I connect the new screen and turn on the phone - the vibro squeaks as in normal boot, but the screen doesn't light up.

My first guess was that I got a faulty screen so now I'm checking the second one and it does the same...

Is there anything I'm missing?

Hello, i have microphone problem on my M8.

HTC One M8 has 2 microphone you know. On the front( Main microphone ) and at back.

My microphone which on the front isn't working but my second microphone which on the back is working properly.

If i open the speaker, my second microphone which is on back is working during the calling.

So i have a question for you... Can i solve this problem without repair my microphone?

I have a suggestion for developers. Can you change the main microphone with a software or some special settings ?

If we make the main microphone the second one (on the back), we can solve this i think.

So, thanks for everything...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeejaytee:
Not sure that's possible mate the back mic is used for noise cancellation during a call afaik , I'm not aware of any mod to accomplish what your asking, unless mixerpaths has anything in it that may bypass the main mic, i can ask around to see if something might be possible for you but i can't promise anything unfortunately a repair might be your only option, although a Bluetooth earpiece might suffice it would be an easier option for you mate.

Hi,

I don't know if I can ask you about that in this forum :

What are for you the pro and cons about the firewalls AFWall+ and LightningWall ?

Personnaly, I use AFWall+ which seems from my point of view very simple to configure and without impacts on Android configuration. But it could be because I don't have installed AFWall+ ... ;)

I would like to know your opinion.

Thanks.

Could AFWall+ brick my smartphone if I am not an Android expert ?
[Security Discussion] KernelCorn:
I'm no Android expert. I rooted my old Sprint S3 a few months ago out of curiosity and AFwall was one if the first things I downloaded. Worst thing I see happening is you block access to something that needs permission. Worst case disable AFwall n settings temporarily until you figure out what box to check/allow. Read and reread the FAQ and setup procedures and you'll be fine. I love it and have had zero issues.

Read the forums here whenever you can and you'll slowly become more and more comfortable messing around with your phone. XDA has become my latest addiction! :)

Nope but do not forget to backup before testing stuff.

However it takes time to learn how to properly use such a software. I still have a lot of things to learn on Github but I know how to use for basic options (which user/system apps to block, easy custom script...).

If you have root, I do recommend you AFWall+ but you may also want to have a look at NetGuard.

Hi,

I discovered this article today :

"Similar Android Firewall solutions"

https://github.com/ukanth/afwall/wiki/Similar-Firewall-solutions

Thanks to the author.

It provided particulary for me an explanation about Xposed associated with LightningWall.

"XPosed hacks to intercept directly on the OS layer (e.g. LightningWall). This doesn't need any iptables or additional scripts since the xposed framework provides the hacking ability's."
[Security Discussion] iwanttoknow:
Hi,

I'm curious to have your point of view about this German article :

https://www.kuketz-blog.de/android-firewall-ohne-root-•-noroot-firewall/

For me with Tapatalk, I realised that there is a problem to display this url; there is a special character in it :

"https://www.kuketz-blog.de/android-firewall-ohne-root-%E2%80%A2-noroot-firewall/"

:)

A lot of people around me don't want to root their smartphone, or they don't even know what is "to root" a smartphone; it's too technical for them.

But they want to be able to decide if they authorize or not some apps to go on the Net.

A lot of them heard about "NoRoot Firewall" and wanted to use it. Do I have to discourage them ?
[Security Discussion] Primokorn:
Google Translate doesn't work due to this special character so I have no idea what this article is explaining.

I would suggest NetGuard, no root firewall and adblocker.

https://github.com/ukanth/afwall/wiki/Similar-Firewall-solutions

I know it's a little complicated.

;)

BTW in your opinion, is "NoRoot Firewall" a good advice for people who have unrooted smartphones ?

How can we be assured that the used VPN, is not problematic from the privacy point of view ?
[Security Discussion] iwanttoknow:
Hi,

Others informations I found entitled :

"Any security difference between root based firewall (AFWall+) and non-root based ones (NetGuard)?"

http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...root-based-firewall-afwall-and-non-root-based

And also this one about NetGuard :

https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/blob/master/README.md#permissions

"NetGuard - no-root firewall" by Marcel Bokhorst gives access to its source code, while "NoRoot Firewall" by Grey Shirts does not, if I am right.
[Security Discussion] Primokorn:
Of course a root firewall has a better control over the apps but a NoRoot Firewall is better than nothing ;)

A firewall isn't really related to your privacy. I'd suggest you to have a look at XPrivacy (same dev as NetGuard - Xposed/root required). Link in my sign.
[Security Discussion] iwanttoknow:
I already use XPrivacy.

It's great from the privacy point of view, though difficult at first.

But for people with no-rooted smartphones, Xprivacy can't be used.

;)

They only have to be confident about VPN used by firewalls for no-rooted smartphones. Logically in this case, "NetGuard - no-root firewall" might be the best choice, because the code is reviewed by anyone in the community, in comparison to other with closed code.
[Security Discussion] iwanttoknow:
Hi,

Can anyone tell me if it exists a tool to monitor non-root based firewalls ?

Is it possible to determine what data are exchanged through Android's VPN facilities used by non-root based firewalls ?

Is it possible with tools like "Network Log", LightningWall or AFW+ ?

I don't know if my question makes sense.
[Security Discussion] Primokorn:
What do you want to monitor? NetGuard has a built-in system log so we can see all connections (allowed and blocked).

NetWork Log, LW and AFW+ needs root anyway.
