[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masterjuggler:
I had this problem earlier today of having the PIN corrupted, but I have it set to require the pin on the first boot.

I fixed it by removing all files ending in ".key" in /system. Not really sure how this compares to removing locksettings.db. Afterward, I put my password back using Google's device manager.

Of course, I am rooted with twrp, so this comes after setting that up.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oki:
The problem of this method is that it only works if the bootloader is unlocked and the phone has the No-verify patch installed.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masterjuggler:
When you say "No-verify patch," are you talking about removing Google license verification from apps (via an app such as lucky-patcher for instance)? AFAIK that is on a per-app basis and wouldn't affect something like the lockscreen password.

So if the phone has those prerequisites (unlocked, No-verify, TWRP), is there a difference between removing the ".key" files and the locksettings.db? I am not entirely sure what the different files contain, and don't seem to be able to find this information through Google, though I may just not be searching the right set of keywords.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oki:
No-Verify is an additional security system implementend in the kernel. When No-Verify is active, it checks for the signature of the system partition. If the system was modified, then the system won't boot. This is why after unlocking the bootloader you have to apply No-Verify Patch or any package with the integrated patch such as SuperSU. As you can see, it has nothing to do with the app signature or the lockscreen at all.

The method presented in the OP is valid for most Android phones, and the only prerequisite is to have TWRP installed. It is safe and a lot more recommended than patching the system partition. Patching system or kernel should always be your last resort. usually deleting locksettings.db is enough, and it is a general method that works for almost any locking method.

Can't understand why a friend of mine in the setting on the same youtube video can choose the resolution till 2160p.

But with mine S7 i can't go over 1440p...

This is very frustrating cause with 360 video the definition under 4K is to low.

There is a way to fix this problem?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] takerhbk:
Your friends phone s6 is probably rooted with xposed. And considering the resolution of s7 is 2k it makes no sense to play 4k on it anyways. It will be scaled down to 2k
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] eddykoodoo:
No is not rooted and it make a lot of sense with Virtual Reality compatible 360 degrees video since you are looking to just a portion of a video in 360 mode...

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] takerhbk:
Like I said your 4k video will be downscaled to 2k because this is nor 4k screen. Why not buy a phone with 720p screen and play 4k video on it for VR. Unfortunately that's not how pixels work. Hardware limitations cannot be overcome by software.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] eddykoodoo:
You clearly don't how a 360 video work...

If is 4K you are waching just a portion of the full video.So even if 4K the visible part is lower than 1080p

And if the full video is 1440p is way lower than 720p (visible portion on the screen)

So 4K is much better.

Can't understand why some of us can set 2160p on the option and other like me no...

You're on Wi-Fi right? And opening the video in YouTube and not a web container?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] eddykoodoo:
Yes my pixel are 1440p but for a 4K 360 video you actually need less than 1440p cause the portion displayed is way less than the full 4K.

Try a 360 video on YouTube and you understand what i mean...

[Android General] unit_shifter:
Hello, if i'm posting this in the wrong place please migrate this message somewhere better. :) Also I could post separate topics but i'm trying to wrap them into one. (if it's better to separate let me know - another board I stepped on toes for having "too many separate posts" that were lightly linked)

I'm trying to buy a Tracfone. Specifically a Tracfone "with 1 year service/minutes" bundle, actually i'm looking for two of them (me and GF) because her phone seemed to just implode recently for no reason.

Two places I know of having "bundling deals" are QVC and HSN, if there are others please let me know? I'm aware of shopcelldeals but those arent bundles, just minute-less phones usually.

One of my TOP priorities is finding phones that can root, yet searching for nearly every Tracfone for sale on either site keeps showing the same things - others asking for root with no success, talk of locked bootloaders, and similar. I am wondering if this is something across the board, if some manufacturers are worse than others, if some tend to have root methods show up later, etc. I can live without it for now, I just can't put certain cool things on until then.

If finding a rootable Tracfone is hopeless i'm probably shopping for conventional phones for BYOD but then no minutes deals with either a free phone or barely more cost obviously.

Makes little difference to be if 3G or 4G (despite the impending 3g sunset), CDMA or GSM, other than really trying to find Verizon or ATT Tracfones because of superior coverage where I drive. Actually ideal might be one ATT and one Verizon due to complimentary coverage. (where one is out the other usually is present)

The above probably already is a pretty short list of phones (if any at all) so not even sure if more details is needed, other than preferring a larger screen to make Google Maps more usable. (5-5.5" is nicer than smaller) That's honestly the most demanding application we are likely to need. Something with a replaceable battery preferred - note i'm not afraid of "non user replaceable" batteries that just make it hard/involve disassembly, have tools for that long as it's possible and there's a guide.

The fallback worst case scenario is just buy a pair of used Samsung Galaxy S5's one VZ one ATT and do the bring own device tracfone SIMs, but i'd like to see if there is something competitively cheaper since money is sorta tight. Any advice on anything directly or indirectly mentioned in this thread would be appreciated as helpful. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dead4ngel:
hi all . so i was on aurora 4.1 . clean install etc and all was fine. then one day phone decided to restart itself. at first it wouldnt boot past samsung logo. then i went into reocvery and changed kernel from h vitamin to ram kernel v1 . and cleared dalvik etc. phone booted fine. then earlier was charging phone at home (official charger) . went ot check phone about 20 mins after and no response. even tried removing battery waiting 10 mins then power on nothing. no vibrate no light. so i realised somehow the phone had hard bricked itself. so started googling about for a solution. found this thread which lets me enter download mode at least. and if i follow the complete guide i can actually boot to setup screen and phone works. only problem is the external sd card only shows 76 mb free as its still partition form before. here is the link for reference http://pastebin(dot)com/7KQxRRNF remove dot and replace with .

right so what i want to know is how do i set boot to emmc so i can actually reformat that sd card so i can use it normally? i tried to install cf root via odin. it flashed fine but when it came to booting phone it wouldnt go past the black screen (that only says kernel in yellow at the top left) . left it on for about 20 mins and it was still on that screen. tried to boot into recovery and it totally messed up and said writing tf flash xxxsectors . then i was only able to boot to that screen no matter what i tried. so had to go reformat card again and re apply steps from that link.

so is there a solution so i can boot my phone normally again then root it and installl custom roms?

im stumped as to why this all even happened as i dont use xposed. and i hadnt changed anything once i installed aurora 4.1 .

phone = n910f .

They are the Sleuth's PTTFix cabs...

I'm no security expert and so I don't even know what all various holes exist on various models to begin with, whether certain ones are a hack waiting to happen for instance. Previously my biggest concern about which android runs on something is whether it's new enough to run the app I want. Or trying to avoid models known to ship with malware from china like this AdUps crap. I'm sure that's no longer good enough but i'm not sure where to start learning what I need to know.
