[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] black96ss:
I never even attempted to try the software update. I didn't like the stupid green battery icons or grouped notifications. I still have my v2 on original release firmware with updates blocked. I like the phone uprooted but I do not like the current software for it. It's a shame because I love phone otherwise, but without future root to make those small tweaks on the v3, I think I'll wait until I find something I really like. I've always been a Samsung guy that being said I'm not a real Fan of pure Google type phones. For some reason I really like touchwiz (ya I know).
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] RMXO:
I'm in the same boat. I use to love using custom ROMs, tried Google ASOP's but in the end I always go back to stock no root TouchWiz.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] ZuneNinja!:
I used to like AOSP a lot, then just stuck with the TouchWiz based roms that are tweaked such as tekhd and overdrives roms on my note 3 and 4. But I still feel like I need root, and the primary reason is AdAway. All the ads drive me nuts. And it's not just in free apps, it's chrome and everything else as well
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] pyraxiate:
Same boat here. My note 3 was awesome, still works and runs like new ( on MM currently). Still plenty fast. The only dilemma is I gave it to my son already.

I've been using this s7 edge for a few weeks now waiting on the new batch of note 7's. It's very close performance and spec wise. I just refuse to pay full price for this phone though since it's NOT what I wanted. They had me return / refund my note 7 and buy this in its place. They then said I could return it regardless of how long it took to get a new note 7.... but I think that was just the manager of the store looking out for me. What if I keep this and he gets transferred during the wait, as it looks like this will take a while.

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

I just got off the phone with Tmobile. They said any money collected on the S7E will be put towards a note 7 whenever they are finally re released. If they aren't, all money will be put towards any other device such as a Note8 if that's the case, regardless the time frame. This is Tmobile's policy.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] brokenartist:
Ugh wish I would of read this thread yesterday. Went to the store. My note 4 bricked on me. Got the Note 7. Now wondering WTF to do. I love the Note line and love the big screen etc. Dont really see many options phone wise. And I really dont want to go to an iPhone.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] RMXO:
You should be able to return it. If you planning sticking with a Note, look into a new or used note 5 since it went down in pricing.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] brokenartist:
Yeah I'm going to but I hate the note 5 as it didn't come with any SD slot. So I'm going to have to see what I can get

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osiris355:
Hello,

I have a really odd issue with my app that I was not aware of until my most recent rejection from Amazon.

For some reason my app is completely missing when you go to settings > managed installed applications on Fire TV OS.

Whats interesting is this is not an issue on Android TV or Android devices. I also noticed other sample Android TV apps create an entry fine as well. It is specific to my app but I cannot find what it is missing. Amazon has not been helpful so far and I am kind of in a pinch since I just converted my back end and cant get the app updated for the users.

Any help would be appreciated!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralphwiggum1:
Is this related to Amazon's Not In My House? I think this also automatically uninstalls some Google Apps (like Play Movies), which worked fine before.

For a while now I have hardly problems with this android.process.acore has ended message in my cm11 rooted fire phone for months now. I have no idea any more what to do, flashed and backuped everything again and again, deleted and restored the contact-datas. The problem disappears while disabeling the contact-storage, but this way I cannot use my Fire Phone for phoning from the contacs anymore. The problem seems to come along with WhatsApp and Facebook and its Messenger, but once installed the problem android.process.acore does not disappear when uninstalling these programs. Anyone got an idea? Thanks a lot for your help!

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dropingin:
Hi all.

I have three issues I have not been able to fix listed in order of importance.

1.	Every time I associate a name with a phone number and save it, it will save for a while. It then removes the saved contact automatically.

2.	I can not dial over WiFi networks with my phone. Straight talk tells me that my phone is not supported. If I can do this it will make Google Hangouts unnecessary. Does anyone know a work around to force this to work with ST?

3.	Every time I link to a phone number from a website it uses “Hangouts” as the default dialer. I would like to use the default dialer for this.

4.	I prefer to use the default contacts manager with the phone. Some how the outlook, Hangouts and default contacts manager have taken over and I can not seem to find a way to return to change these settings.

Details about my platform.

I have a rooted phone. I have only changed the straight talk no tethering default. I have an active backup to the “Google cloud.” As far as I have found NO automatic restore is set anywhere in the phone. I also have a Samsung account set up but I am not backing up to it. Titanium backup is installed but I am not using it. X-plor is also installed but to the best of my knowledge it is not doing any automated chores. Uninstall is also loaded but just sits there. I have a terminal emulator and hacker keyboard installed also.

I installed Google Voice and the hangouts dialer to use a Google number in a location I work from with bad cell reception. The problem may be associated with that change. But I have not been able to find a connection.

Outlook has also been installed because Godaddy pushed me in that direction.

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance xda peeps.

Outlook or messenger took over my contacts. I deleted both apps and the phone contacts started to save correctly :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CZ Eddie:
I don't have one but would love to own the S7 Edge.

The only reason I don't is because there are no AOSP ROM's available for it and I can't hack TouchWiz with enough xposed mods to deal with it.

I thought the S7 Edge International was rootable and has TWRP?

So why are no dev's giving it any AOSP or even CM love?

I'd rather have AOSP but would even deal with CM if the S7 Edge at least had that.

AOSP does not equal CM.

And I've run 100% AOSP ROM's on my MotoX Pure for the last year.

Flashing BrokenOS on average once every six weeks (which is a typical release cycle) without ever having any "bugs" or crashes.

CM is another matter and I stay away from it when AOSP is available.

MotoXP > Nexus or OPO, IMO.

EDIT!

TWRP just stopped working. It can not mount anything, and when I boot my phone, it tells me I have not OS installed... How to fix TWRP? Fastboot doesn't work either..
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] beamdelta:
Just flashed this, looks good so far! Only thing is I cant find the Camera app? I suppose there is something I did wrong. Any idea guys?

Edit: I can see that GoogleCamera.apk is installed, but it does not show up in the app drawer. Pressning the camera hardware button does nothing either. Does the camera app come from Gapps? If so, which gapps pack is recommended?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] nzzane:
Same problem here!

I think it's is gapps related as it has happened to me on two different roms
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] beamdelta:
I'm in the process of downloading the "normal" ARM version of Gapps, will update if that makes any difference (I now use the 64-bit package as suggested by another user in this thread).

Yep it's true, I want to flash something and faced this problem too. And it wiped my whole internal memory. After that I even can't restore my backup from external SD card. Be careful guys.

if you face any issues, then reflash stock ftf immediately! oh and if I understand rtimoff correctly you're saying this issue happens when flashing anything?

[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] mele80:
Yes, i entered twrp and system and data could not be mounted or wiped thus no nandroid could be restored. After that it said no OS exists when trying reboot

[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] beggar23:
Hi there, hi [MENTION=4819888]oshmoun[/MENTION]

indeed, I also experienced problems with the integrated TWRP (tried to reflash PAC). It seems to me, that it does not recognise partitions correctly, I was not able to clear the partitions I ticked, or install the ROM zip, and after manually fastboot-flashing a separate TWRP img I was unexpectedly back in the PAC TWRP instance.

Now I am re-installing Sony stock, and again TWRP for a fresh PAC install.

Cheers.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] :
Ummmmm, WHAT?!

there is no integrated twrp in this rom :eek:

Whatever twrp you're referring to, you must have installed it from somewhere else.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] beggar23:
Ewww, okay. :confused:

I just had the impression, because I felt it was suddenly out of touch with the system: the clock was wrong, chosen language and time zone were resetted and changes were not saved etc.

Before PAC everything was working as I expected. I will have another look at it, after I finished re-installing PAC and personal apps. Thank you for the feedback, anyway! :good:

Edit

: Well, again, TWRP cannot recognise system partion (and also not internal sdcard), as it says "no OS installed" but reboots into PAC, anyway. Also clock, time zone and language settings are again messed up. I assume trying to back up something would do nothing. I am lost here.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] :
The issue with time and timezones, I can understand. The issue there is a difference between stock and aosp kernels in how time is handled.

The issue with mounting /system though, that is a mystery O.o

Can you please show me which twrp you're using?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] MakeHav0:
Guys, some news here.. The issue is most probably in the kernel. You have to flash stockbased kernel through fastboot. Use windows command prompt "adb reboot bootloader" and when you enter to bootloader mode (blue light constantly on), you have to flash stock kernel from PC. Just copy/paste Windows command prompt program to same folder as your kernel is, open it and type "fastboot flash boot (kernelnamehere).img"

Hope that helped you guys.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] :
well, what MakeHav0 said is a potential solution.

However, may I suggest flashing multirom recovery from multirom thread. That one works quite well here.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] flopower1996:
Whats about camera quality. Still overexposed as in CM13?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] beggar23:
Exposure seems to be working correctly. It's just the usual non-stock noise thing that is present.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] beggar23:
To be honest, I would refrain from flashing a stock kernel over a non-stock (PAC) ROM. Did you successfully flash it that way?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] MakeHav0:
Yes, it succeed. But make sure that you have PAC kernel as well to flash it back. I can't guarantee that your rom will work without PAC kernel. That's just a way to get working recovery.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] beggar23:
Tried your approach (flashing TWRP-injected stock boot.img and PAC kernel.img afterwards), but got the same result: "no OS installed" is showing inTWRP (but booting PAC anyway). :crying:
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] MakeHav0:
​

Yes, that's the point. You can flash things and then go back to rom. Well, I would suggest to do what [MENTION=4819888]oshmoun[/MENTION] said, go for MULTIROM recovery. It can be found in forum.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] beggar23:
Okay, [MENTION=4819888]oshmoun[/MENTION], just tried flashing your (last version) experimental TWRP from that thread: http://xdaforums.com/z5-compact/orig-development/twrp-suzuran-twrp-3-0-t3334568

It works as desired with PAC-ROM. I can reboot into recovery, it is seeing all mount points etc. Am very happy now. :good:
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] RaunoT:
Soo.. is there any other way to add a fingerprint (besides the setup process)?

Performance is a lot better than on the cm13 build, atleast for me.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] Myself5:
Settings -> Security.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] RaunoT:
Well, I think you mean the option under Settings -> Lock Screen, since there is no such option under Security, and as stated in the OP, the fingerprint manager crashes.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] Myself5:
Oh damn. Thats what happens when you try to help out real quick, thinking you know stuff about your phones at home. I'd suggest asking [MENTION=4819888]oshmoun[/MENTION] for that case.

3. Flash this recovery https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995305617 "flashtool flash recovery recovery.img"

If you checked the status of the project, you'll see that it's "no longer updated".

The reason for that is PAC will not be continued. Please read the post on google+ about that.

Did anyone successfully dirty flash this ROM coming from cyanogenmod? I am running CTXz's build and TWRP 3.0.2. Is it possible to keep internal memory and not do the factory reset? I would really like to try this one. Thanks for the work and your advice.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] :
if you mean internal memory as in pics and video, then no those shouldn't go away with a factory reset afaik. If you mean apps and app data, then yeah those will go away.

You could make a backup with titanium backup or similar if you like to keep the apps between roms.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] michael plars:
Thanks! This is working great! Really like the build, camera and calls, both work really well. I forgot to flash the multirom recovery first. Is it possible to flash it afterwards? Do I need to flash a kernel for the recovery install first? How do I get the kernel for the rom flashed after that? Did I mess up? Maybe I just leave it Iike that. Everything is working so well right now, I've never been more happy with my phone. I really enjoy having a Z5 compact now! Thanks a lot!

Sad the PAC project got cancelled. What will you be using then? This rom is so much fun to play around with and I really got to like it.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development] :
Too many questions o.O

Yes you can flash recovery afterwards

You need to flash a boot.img that is capable of starting recovery.

The "kernel" is to simplify things the boot.img of you manually unzip the flashbable zip of the rom.

No you did not mess up (yet)

I'll keep using PAC till a better rom comes up that suits my usage ;)

do I have to get back to .253 to install the rom? I came from Xpower 5.0
