[Windows 10 Mobile] Mrox2:
I'm new to Windows Phone and I'm getting my L 950 soon but I've been doing a lot of research recently about "Project Astoria" and the apps Windows Phone is lacking, while I can live without them I still think had MS kept this feature it would've gained them more customers (this was going to be the reason why I considered buying a year or so ago when it was announced). Now before anyone tells me to get an Android, I really want to try out WP because it looks cool and slick and has all the MS apps one would need, minus Google Apps and some Android apps, which are a must for some.

P.S. I really enjoy modding and doing things not normally possible, I almost do this on every device I own even game consoles.

TLDR; So the theories would be as follows:

Downgrading phones to ROMs that had Project Astoria Aka 10240? Which had it for a few phones

Creating a custom rom with Astoria libraries and files to re-enable the function

Wait for the rumoured x86 emulation on ARM, this'll mean we might be able to get BlueStacks or a similar app running through emulation, so emlation in emulation in emulation, lol.

Pray and hope for Microsoft to restore Project Astoria.

Thoughts?
[Windows 10 Mobile] gus33000:
This isn't possible due to MS actually having a CI whitelist for services, and the key component of astoria actually is blacklisted on newer builds, starting the service won't work at all.
[Windows 10 Mobile] karaki93:
Since it's about theories why don't developers try something like android emulation on a website
[Windows 10 Mobile] user107:
Then why not just use the actual company/app website?
[Windows 10 Mobile] monoWench:
Kernel is unlikely to support ADSS as a pico provider anymore. The Kernel only allows a single pico provider to be installed and it's hard coded to be LXSS for desktop. Wouldn't be surprised if it's now set to LXSS in the mobile builds too, if it's allowed at all. It's quite possible the pico provider interfaces have changed since the last build with ADSS in it The LXSS kernel devs are unlikely to care at all about keeping compatibility with year old ADSS.
[Windows 10 Mobile] Puppy2016:
BTW The Field Medic application still have ETW provider "Windows_Brigde_for_Android" available :) I hope Microsoft will not make it standard feature becasue I want to stay isolated from the Google always-vulnerable-crap pathetic OS as much as possible. That's why I use Microsoft OS and services.
[Windows 10 Mobile] Xyberghost:
can i downgrade my lumia 730 DS and install the build supporting project astoria..?? will it work n how to go to that build??? suggestions needed!!
[Windows 10 Mobile] Xyberghost:
then is all i can*do...!!! :rolleyes:
[Windows 10 Mobile] dxdy:
i dont understand why people want this back... project astoria apps worked terrible, much worse than MS apps.... if you want android apps, buy frikin' android phone.
[Windows 10 Mobile] Insignificant:
There are a couple of possibilities to use astoria:

10240 ROM works on: Lumia 640, 640 XL, 930

Insider Versions 10149 / 10166 (10512, 10514, 10536) works on: Pretty much any Lumia / Phone released before the launch of TH2.
[Windows 10 Mobile] Xyberghost:
what about other lumia phones...?? arent any custom rom!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tanaysrivastava23:
Hi,

Recently, I used ODIN to return to Stock ROM. But, since then I am not getting OTA updates.

Once I used Smart Switch app to update software but I don't want to do it all the time.

Can someone please help? Thanks.

Tanay
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tanaysrivastava23:
Any help would be highly appreciated !!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] daLareid:
Maybe just flash a firmware that receives OTAs constantly, like UK BTU.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] FalconFX:
Since you know how to use Odin. Flash the XEF firmware. It's the best with receiving monthly updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tanaysrivastava23:
is there a way a phone can lose its ability to receive OTA updates.

Smart Switch shows new update, but not getting OTA.

Got the software update done from service center, but still no OTA when available.

Every time Smart Switch downloads around 2 GB of data which is very time consuming in India, I am not sure what is the best way to get my OTA updates back.

Someone please help.... Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cosmic Blue:
something was changed in the kernal or you have applied a custom kernal. causing the phone to believe it has been modified

modified phones will not receive OTA updates you need to flash them manually.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] modaifallah:
What about the CSC? maybe you flashed wrong csc.. Or have multiple csc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tanaysrivastava23:
This could be possible.

I tried BTU beta ROM for Nougat and then reverted back.

But, current status shows official.

After manual update, Kernel version is changed to latest.

Please help, how can I correct my phone's settings. I have attached, my phone's software info page.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cosmic Blue:
Currently you have the latest update for your phone.

but you can try : cleaning the cache.

if the problem persists, you may have to make a back up of your data and phone numbers and do a full factory reset, that should return your phone completely back to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tanaysrivastava23:
Thanks. But I tried clearing cache and factory reset already a few times, but that didn't help.

Also, there is another update available to my ROM, but not getting option over OTA. But, showing the update via Smart Switch.

Is there any way I can put correct Kernel or CSC to my phone? or, any other way to overcome my situation. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] modaifallah:
I'm all stock and my android security patch is of 1 November 2016.. You're on the latest update.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tanaysrivastava23:
A few things which I did recently might have caused my problem.

01) I was running at Stock ROM and getting OTA updates

02) I installed Nougat Beta BTU ROM

03) Registered myself to get OTA updates

04) But, didn't get OTA updates, returned to Stock ROM via Odin

05) I got updated to latest software by OTA updates

06) Again, I installed Nougat Beta BTU ROM, deregistered & registered again and got beta OTA updates

07) After a few days, returned back to Stock ROM

08) Since then, I am not getting OTA updates.

It seems, I am registered to get BTU OTA updates and lost my OTA update eligibility here (India) :)

Now, I will install Nougat Beta BTU ROM again and will deregister myself from there. Hope that way, I will get my OTA updates here in India.

I will keep you all updated. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cristi_10:
I'm experiencing the same thing as you.Tried multiple firmwares but only BTU works(something has to do with nougat).Waiting for the results
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tanaysrivastava23:
I did as I mentioned and this resolved my problem :cowboy::cowboy::good::good:

Many thanks to all for supporting me !!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Pavamarea:
I'm in this version and until now, no OTA here, that's weird.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mastdy:
Not getting OTA after back to INS from BTU

i am facing this issue so i installed Beta firmware and de-registered from beta program then installed Stock Rom now i am getting OTA
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AlanDS:
I am also facing same issue.... Any method to de-register from Beta without installing Beta firmware?

I tried by installing Beta registration apk... But it doesnt works.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tanaysrivastava23:
Everyone has done that so far. I am not aware of any alternate method.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AngelaRI:
So the second BTU Nougat update was released on 6th Feb. I flashed the first BTU Nougat at the start of the month using Odin (from Sammobile site, flashed AP and CSC files), cache reset, 2 factory data resets later, and now my CSC shows BTU in the recovery boot screen, yet even today (17th Feb) I'm still not getting the OTA update for the second Nougat.

Manual software update screen tells me I'm up to date!

"The latest updates have already been installed.

Current version: G935FXXU1DPLT/G935FOXA1DPLT/G935FXXU1PBJE"

Yet the latest version is: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/122404/G935FXXU1DQB3_G935FOXA1DQB1_BTU/

PDA	G935FXXU1DQB3

CSC	G935FOXA1DQB1

Anyone had similar issues? I know they're both still Android 7.0 but surely the later build should be detected for OTA updates? I will probably eventually give up and flash the latest, but the whole reason for the 2 factory resets at the start of the month was to make sure the BTU CSC applies so that I can get OTA updates from now on and not have to bother with flashing for every single update going forward... Don't particularly want to revert to the bloatware-filled branded version the phone came with... They're still 'testing' Nougat anyway, release date will be 'soon', and has been 'soon' for weeks now... Hence my BTU flash.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CuBz90:
If you're registered for the BETA you will not receive any OTA updates other than those that are BETA updates. You would need to deregister.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AngelaRI:
I tried to register for beta but was too slow to get into the program, wouldn't let me sign up... will that still count, and if so how can i unregister??
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CuBz90:
I wouldn't imagine so if you did not process the registration. Contact Samsung and explain that you tried to register and this may have impacted your OTA updates. They may be able to help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AngelaRI:
Thanks, I'll try that
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tanaysrivastava23:
Apart from contacting Samsung Helpdesk, I would suggest if you can connect your phone with Laptop and use Smart Switch to identify if there is any software update available for your phone.

If it shows, it is available and you are not getting OTA update, then surely you need to de-register from Beta Test Nougat.

Hope this helps. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AngelaRI:
I'll try that tonight on my personal laptop, work laptop ports are locked down so I can't do anything during the day (bit frustrating) - I attempted to register for beta, but by the time I got there the spots were all taken so my attempt was rejected, so hopefully that doesn't mean I'm flagged as partially registered anyway, as that could potentially be a difficult one to get deregistered from. But I guess anything's possible...

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

Samsung says no beta...

They say that the update is still 'busy rolling out' and that I should either check SmartSwitch, or just continue waiting... It'll be here 'shortly' he says... I'd love to know just exactly how long 'shortly' is, because everyone loves using it, and the definition varies from hours to months!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tanaysrivastava23:
This is standard response from them. Let me know outcome of your Smart Switch.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AngelaRI:
Yeah, they got a big red upset face on the feedback form after that one - pretty much copy-pasted from their script of standard responses :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AngelaRI:
No joy from SmartSwitch...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tanaysrivastava23:
In fact, this is good. There is no update for your phone at the moment.

Keep trying, you should get it soon.

The worry moment would be, you get update information via Smart Switch but NOT via OTA. So, keep waiting and keep trying.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AngelaRI:
True, it's consistent at least. Still strange that the guy at work with same phone on same csc has it but I don't. The only difference is that his is a work test unit that was bought sim free and network unlocked for the mobile apps team, where I'm network locked and flashed btu to get rid of my provider bloatware from the branded rom the phone came with. I've flashed older models before with no issues getting subsequent ota updates on the new csc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tanaysrivastava23:
My comment:

You should wait for your (original) network provider to release the Nougat update and then your device will get it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AngelaRI:
Yeah, they've been saying 'any day now' for at least 3 weeks. They're usually one of the last to release updates in general, filled with bloatware, and just generally a pain to deal with. Only reason I'm still with them is that they have the best deal on flagship handsets like the this one on billpay, with unlimited data at a reasonable price, which is almost a requirement nowadays on smartphones.

A month ago, my sister brick her phone and try to fix it herself:confused: and accidentally erase droidboot/fastboot:crying::crying:.

Can anyone help me?:(:(:(

Thank you.

EDIT:

[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] Smoch:
Hello, I have a problem with zuk z2 wifi connection.

My download speed on wifi never goes over 5-10kb/s; in 4g works perfectly.

I tried all kind of wipe/factory reset, i changed rom a few times and i got the same problem with stock, indian, francko76 global v7 and francko 76 multi v14 and v15.

The strange thing is that wifi worked fine for 2 weeks on franko v14, than i got the bug.

After that i went to stock -> indian -> francko76 v7 -> again francko76 multi v14 -> stock -> francko76 multi v15.

everytime with a clean install.

Anyone has/had the same issue?

Thankyou!

my regedit freaking out on me.. I go back and its still at 0.. its like its not saving it.. hmm any clue?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] 4Site:
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I searched and this came up, i thought instead of making a new thread i'll just bring to this one back to the top as i dont think it was resolved properly

I'm having the same problem as icecool. When i open the keyboard the camera app stays upside down and doesnt flip with the GUI.

What i want do is open the keyboard, tilt the screen, place my phone on a table top and use the front camera to record myself but because the camera app is upside down any video recorded in this method plays upside down in any other source.

I tried the method GSLEON described but indeed the registry entry is defaulted to "0" and is reverting back to "0" whenever I change the entry using RegEdit (thats part of Task Master 2.7)

My phones a UK Orange based HTC Tytn II, however i've upgraded the rom to Dutty's Dual Touch v2, I havent changed the radio.

Any suggestions? Shall i use a different reg editor? Is this a known issue.

Thanks in Advance, All help appreciated.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] andrew-in-woking:
Use the New Camera

Hi,

I've upgraded to the newer camera v.5, which you can find on this forum, and it flips the camera on popping out of the keyboard, but does not flip the camera back once the keyboard has popped back in. In fact, the camera becomes unresponsive when the keyboard is popped back in and only becomes resonsive again when you pop the kayboard out again.

It half fixes the problem.

Cheers,

andrew-in-woking
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] 4Site:
Thanks for such a swift reply.

I already have Camera App 5.02.29195 installed as part of the rom, but its not flipping the app when the keyboard is slid out. Is there a newer version of the app? Shall i just reinstall this version

Kaiser Camera Screen Rotation

My Kaiser camera is working as it should (rotates to righthanded landscape when kb is out and flips back to lefthanded when kb is closed). What I would like to do is have it rotated to righthanded even when the kb is closed.

I've tried changing the values in the registry for the rotatescreen value from 0 to 1 and 2 but it seems to make no difference. I have also soft reset after changing the registry values and again no change.

Any one know if this is even possible?

Sorry if this has already been posted/answered elsewhere but I've not been able to track it down.

It is stable or in beta version? Bugs?

Hi there!

I guess we can say it's pretty stable ATM, but obviously isn't an official Snapshot ;)

Anyway in some testing we didn't find any big bug (excluding the listed fingerprint one and the access to the SDcard), and I think it can be used as daily driver.

Because now we have a lot of choices : CM12 , CM13 , CM14 (test firmware only) , Flyme rom , Mokee rom , resurection remix rom.

I'm actually using Mokee 5.1.1 rom because everything is working fine : Nubia camera , Fingerprint , SD card (only the side lights don't work).It's smooth and stable.
