[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logos Ascetic:
Over the years many people have written guides for installing custom ROM's, and most of then have different steps. I understand certain devices, and custom ROM's need specific install steps. I'm looking for a general consensus on what is currently the best steps and/or order when installing a new custom ROM. Here a few sets of steps that Ive found online. Please let me know which one you think is the best set of instructions for most people.

2. Select "Wipe", then "Advanced Wipe"

3. Select Dalvik Cache, System, Data, Cache, Internal Storage, and wipe

6. Reboot

Which set of instructions do you feel is correct? works best? Please reply with ex. "#1" if you'd like to edit the steps please repost the set #1 with your modifications in the same format as the original.

*BONUS QUESTION*

What do you think should be the correct steps for a general DIRTY FLASH?

1. Boot into Recovery

2. Select "Wipe", then "Factory Reset"

3. Install ROM update

4. Install Gapps,kernel, and any other fixes second

5. Select "Wipe" button, then select "Advanced Wipe"

6. Select Dalvik Cache, Cache, Internal Storage. Wipe

7. Reboot

EXTRA NOTES/TIPS found online:

Depending on your situation (see below), you may also need to wipe your data and/or cache. So when should you wipe your data and cache? Here are a few general guidelines:

-If you're flashing a ROM different than the one you're currently running, you should wipe data and cache. Essentially, this performs a factory reset on your phone, and you will lose all your data.

-If you're flashing a new version of a ROM you're already running, we recommend wiping your data and cache—but you should be able to get away with just wiping the cache, meaning you get to keep all your apps	and settings.

MUST BE ROOTED WITH FREEZAS ROOT

CHANGELOG

V1 (Sep 20)- Allows for recording up until you run out of space instead of putting a time limit on everything

V2 (Sep 20 TEST!!!)WARNING, Timelapse set to 1080x720. This is a test, I have used it without any issue but I want to make sure others don't have any issues.

backup the entire folder system/priv-app/samsungcamera6 , delete the apk, then copy this over to system/priv-app/Samsungcamera6

Download at bottom of this post

After that set the permissions (id recommend checking the original apks permissions before u delete it)

Reboot, (see if the app even shows up), then try recording 4k, it's around 21 minute record time with stock internal storage, with the 256GB sdcard it should be much more

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jerryo100:
Hi,

I have no idea what I did, but while setting up my new Galaxy S7 I somehow disabled the long press options for screen icons.

Now when I long press on a app icon I no longer get the options for Edit, Remove, App Info, etc.

Anyone know how to turn the long press options back on? I know it's going to be stupid simple, but for the life of me I can't find that setting anywhere.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanluckez:
Hi.

I purchased a HTC One M9 seconhand that has a weird problem. When I first took it it was locked and S-ON. First thing I did was to root it and mod the thermal file to get a more confortable touch. But after 5 days of use WI-FI starts hanging and, even if I switch it off it starts trying to reconnect by itself. Then the phone restarts. If I keep using it the random reboots become more frequent at the point of let the phone barely usable. Then I have to restore backup, install RUU and start again. It does not matter if the phone is rooted or unlocked, or not, it just acts the same way again and again.

What the heck could it be? If the WI-FI antenna works bad it should work bad always. If I install a new custom rom like Viper I can take 5 days with no errors. Then it get started. If I install RUU inmediately once, the problem continues.

I hope I can do something with this beautiful phone, if not, I will throw it out of the window because this is the first one that I can't tame.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

recently I bought used Huawei P8 Lite Single Sim... the firmware is B171 It also tells me that there is an update to B199.

Question number 1: is it worth?

Q2: Would the new update make it harder to convert it to dual sim when I will need It?

Q3: If it offers me even more up to date update, marshmallow should I update It? Wouldn't It make harder to upgrade to Dual Sim version?

Thanks for reply :)
[P8lite General] Epistemic:
There's ALE-L21 thread what shows you how to make it dual SIM. Then from there go to marshmallow through flash.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmchakka:
Device : Nexus 5X

I am registered with Google beta program and have installed Andriod 7.0 OTA update this morning. After a few hours of usage, the phone by itself booted and stuck at google dots animation logo. I don't know why it happened and trying to figure out a solution since a few hours.

Here is what I have and What I did so far..

1. Bootloader is LOCKED and both usb debugging and oem unlock check box in developer options are NOT enabled. I can't boot the phone, so there is no way to enable them now.

2. I have tried using fastboot the following commands 'fastboot oem unlock' ; 'flashboot flashing unlock' ; fastboot format cache' with the following results.

fastboot oem unlock and fastboot flashing unlock : FAILED <remote: oem unlock is not allowed>

fastboot format cache :

Creating filesystem with parameters:

Size: 100663296

Block size: 4096

Blocks per group: 32768

Inodes per group: 6144

Inode size: 256

Journal blocks: 1024

Label:

Blocks: 24576

Block groups: 1

Reserved block group size: 7

Created filesystem with 11/6144 inodes and 1422/24576 blocks

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

erasing 'cache'...

FAILED (remote: device is locked. Cannot erase)

finished. total time: 0.016s

3. With no good solution, I started looking for adb sideload options.

So I downloaded the recovery rom to adb sideload of this version 6.0.1 (MTC20F) from the website which is the latest release. ANY OTHER older versions are giving error saying Device requires bootloader-bullhead-bhz11e version and rom has a different version bootloader. So it failed to load any other previous rom releases.

Result : It did not work. It successfully installed, both in cmd promt and adb's Apply update from ADB' mode, I get no errors and installs successfully. On booting the phone, It is stuck on same google dots animation logo and phone heats up like insane. I left it there few hours since it takes more time for first booting with much patience and hope but its no good.

4. As some of the forum's advised, I have installed Nexus Toolkit ( which I although hate using). In the toolkit, Unlock bootloader would for some reason reboot my phone as soon as I click it and shows this message "Waiting for devices".

I have explained what I done now. I have pretty much run out my ideas and need you guys help.

The core problem that would solve this is to unlock the device which requires access to Developer's options which the phone won't boot. I only have access to TWRP for now.

[Note 7 Accessories] Nitemare3219:
I just stumbled upon this when looking for a new car charger that would keep USB C for my 6P, and the new Nexus in case it also doesn't support QC, but wanted QC support as well for USB A since I just bought an expensive Anker Power line+ USB A to C cable (they don't offer C to C). But, I wanted 2 USB A ports, not just 1.

Lo and behold, the only car charger of its kind! This puppy has 2x USB A QC 3.0 ports & 1x USB C with QC 3.0 as well.

I will have it Saturday and test it out for both my Note7 and 6P. Their other products have pretty good reviews. I guess the customer service may suck if the product fails according to some reviews, but it seems like a low failure rate, and with Prime I'm not too worried.

$32 and it only has 1 QC 3.0 port. The charger I listed has 3.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] therock3181:
Your 6P don't need Quick Charge you know ?

A 5v/3a charger with USB-C will do the trick.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tsuttie99:
Also worth noting QC on a type C port is in direct violation of the USB Type C standard. Would not be "Benson-approved"
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Nitemare3219:
5V/3A is the USB C standard, so any C charger should work. But the new Nexuses could use QC - my Tronsmart car charger has had USB C with QC and works fine with my 6P and any QC device I tried. But more importantly, I have a 6P and so does my girlfriend, but I also have a Note7, so the flexibility is nice.

Benson approved really doesn't matter for this. LG, HTC, Samsung, and Qualcomm all support/back using QC over USB C with properly made cables and chargers. Just because it doesn't adhere to the standard doesn't automatically mean anything is wrong with it. USB C power delivery calls for what, 20V at 5A or something like that? It can obviously handle the load.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tsuttie99:
I just don't trust it that's all. there are too many manufacturers making type c chargers with Vbus hot and bridged CC - which is dangerous for devices/chargers. IMO if they are willing to break one spec, they are likely willing to break multiple.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Caboose27:
So... did it work?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Nitemare3219:
Sure, for about 15 minutes. Thought I posted back here but apparently not.

It's trash. Yes, it has all the mentioned ports and it works perfectly with each device briefly. Problem is, it becomes thermally overloaded and the charge speeds drop DRAMATICALLY. USB C charging, even at 5V/3A, was by far the worst. Charging a USB C device by itself would rapid charge for about 30-45 minutes before slowing way down. QuickCharge generally worked okay for a little bit longer. If you had 2 devices charging at the same time, you'd be lucky to keep them going for 20 minutes. Also, it constantly drew power (a significant amount) from my car's power port because it was ALWAYS very warm to the touch which made the overheating problem happen even faster if I didn't unplug it in-between uses.

Good to know. I've been having a frustrating hunt for a fast charging car charger.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] myk.robinson:
Is there a magic trick to the finger print sensor? Seems like a good 60% of the time, I still have to enter my passcode to get into the phone...

I have deleted an reregistered my finger, and even made additional entries of my thumb at other angles just in case...
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] myk.robinson:
Looks like it may have been due to a "double tap to lock" app I installed. I read something that said that in Marshmallow, third party apps that lock the screen disable the finger print sensor unlock.

I tested this theory by allowing the phone to lock by time out setting and also manual locking with the power button, and I got consistent results that way.

I have uninstalled the app.
