[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] zszabo:
My $.02 regarding the issue of rooting:

When I originally placed my order, it was for two Fire HD 8 tablets - one "burner" that I would use immediately because I know I'm impatient and one that I would modify when I was ready.

After half a year of using the original (which probably has the latest updates by now) and experiencing the same frustrations already mentioned, I was finally ready to root the second tablet (which had remained in its original packaging until then). Rooting was successfully completed and I've been using the tablet without any problems for about two weeks.

That said, allow me to offer this bit of insight: many here may think that rooting will unlock additional functionality and configurability that otherwise remains inaccessible with only the Google Play Store and associated services installed (which notably does not require root access). Based on my (admittedly limited) experience, the only significant difference I've noticed is that I can now disable the ad-based lock screen, as well as existing functionality and services (which renders the device even less functional). Most notably, I have not found documentation for replacing Amazon's device settings with Google's - one of the biggest problems introduced when adding a secondary infrastructure (Google's) to the one preloaded on every device. Yes, I could theoretically attempt the changes myself; but who here is willing to experiment with such low level changes, which might easily render their device inoperable? And even if you are, there is no guarantee that you can actually achieve this goal.

Lastly, one of the system tools I installed thanks to having root reports a mere 1.5G of system memory, while another one reports even less. Assuming these are true, there is a significant hardware limitation which will probably render the device more sluggish even if someone does manage to replace Amazon's core packages with Google's. This assumption is based on the generally applicable positive correlation between functionality and memory usage.

So in summary, merely achieving root level access has in my experience been far less beneficial in terms of "opening up Amazon's walled garden" than I intrinsically expected. Conversely, installing the additional Google-based packages (which does not require root level access) has had a disproportionately greater impact than initially anticipated, while also introducing a number of problems (e.g. apps requesting changes in the system settings that are unavailable) that root level access has not solved.

Any light at the end of tunnel? I mean I'm happy with having the play store and getting rid of that terrible fire launcher, I just wanna see someone stick it to the man.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Synman:
This is NOT a guide for n00bs. You will need a functional copy of ADB and FASTBOOT (as well as any required Lenovo ADB drivers if you are windows tragic) running on your PC with Debugging enabled prior to proceeding.

This is NOT my original work. All the real credit goes to some guys in Russia as best as I can tell. I merely google translated their work and cooked up my own method for rooting (which is a bit easier than what they recommend). You can find their source materials here: Russian Lenovo Website - Phab 2 Unlocking the bootloader thread.

Grab the latest version of SuperSU from Chainfire (https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/)

Download the version of TWRP I found on the Lenovo Russia website here (it is attached to this post)

Copy SuperSU to your Phab 2's SD Card (it can go on either the internal or an external drive) (ADB push SuperSUxxx.img /sdcard/)

You need to unlock your bootloader if you have not already done so:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock

Allow your Phab 2 to fully reboot and verify debugging is still enabled and the OEM unlocking option is enabled in Developer options.

Now that we've got a good clean operational unlocked bootloader let's apply our new recovery:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery TWRP-PB2-650_3.0.2.img

Hold down the power button on your Phab 2 until it powers off.

Press the center of the volume rocker (both vol+ and vol- need to be depressed) and at the same time hold down the power button until your Phab 2 posts. You'll know you did the procedure right because an ASCII arrow symbol will be scrolling through the device's 3 boot options (Recovery / Fastboot / Normal).

Release the power button and roll your finger holding the volume rocker to the volume up side of the rocker. Release the volume button.

Press Vol+ until Recovery is selected (it is the first option)

Press Vol- and wait 20 or so seconds for TWRP to load.

You now have to decide if you want to make TWRP your permanent recovery. If so, mount SYSTEM as RW and using TWRP's Advanced File Explorer navigate to /system and either delete or rename recovery-from-boot.p (I renamed mine to recovery-from-boot.p.save).

Go back to TWRP's main menu and select INSTALL. Navigate to the SuperSU image you copied to storage at the very beginning of this guide and flash it.

When you're done, reboot.

Don't panic when your Phab 2 bootloops once. It'll boot fine on its second pass. In another 20-30 seconds you will be greeted by a fully rooted Phab 2.

Enjoy! Screenshots are attached to the second post.

is this working for phab2 pb2-650m?
[Lenovo Phab 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Synman:
I assume so. The original work was based on a 650M but I can only validate my additions on the 650Y since I don't have a 650M
[Lenovo Phab 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] shinhosuck1973:
You should make a video of the procedure. So you are saying after flashing the recovery, have to press power and volume up+down together until phab2 posts. What is posts? Do you mean reboots? And what do you mean by roll the finger?
[Lenovo Phab 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] shinhosuck1973:
Hey thank you for the method. My device is PB2-650m Philippine version. Twrp recovery installed without issue , but after flashing supersu, would not boot. Stuck on second boot. I flashed UPDATE-unSU.zip to unroot and factory reset device. Flashed SuperSu-v2.79 and rooted without issue.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Synman:
Too bad you didn't make a video...
[Lenovo Phab 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] shinhosuck1973:
I did not have time. My phone got stuck on 2nd boot and was trying to figure out way to fix it. I fixed it by deleting supersu and factory resetting. I found different SuperSU version and worked. Thanks to you for providing me and the other phab2 owners with custom recovery. :svetius:

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] kinetx:
using Newton for exchange email. honestly everything else feels incomplete - Newton has the feel of a polished iOS app. Gmail and the official Outlook app both had issues with push service not working - i'd only get new emails if i refreshed the inbox

having said that, Newton is yearly subscription for $50, so it's more than justifiable for me in a work capacity

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Alcolawl:
If you haven't already tried, you might have to set up a work exchange account manually. A lot of workplace and institutional exchange accounts use specific servers (not the generic Exchange or .live domain), ports, security, etc.

In most instances I've had to enter the smtp server manually, with the correct port and what not. This goes for several occupations I've had and even while I was attending school. You might be able to grab the settings logged into your exchange email at work or just hit up your IT guy and he should be willing to set it up for you.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] tttuning:
I do set up manually...It works on some apps and not on others
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Alcolawl:
Hmm.. There must be an option during setup that some apps might have and others don't. Shame, it's a nice email app...
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] CZ Eddie:
I use Type Mail which used to be called Blue Mail.

I originally installed Blue Mail.

Then one day it updated itself via the Play Store updates and was suddenly "Type Mail".

Oddly enough, it looks like Blue Mail is still out there and being updated.

So IDK what happened there.

Both LOOK like the same exact app.

Technically, I think the thread goes in Q&A since it's a question.

Themes is more for where you go to post themes for download or mention how much you like a theme/app.

Used to use Blue mail but moved over to Aqua it works great. You should really check their privacy statements and judge for yourself, that is the reason I switched.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] CZ Eddie:
I actually moved from Aqua to Blue because Blue worked better with Push notifications.

How is Aqua & Push doing for you? I have hotmail/live/yahoo/gmail accounts.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] rifraf1:
I use it for all the same types of accounts except for Gmail and the push is working fine via IMAP. What I like is the ability to use an email alias within the Aqua app, paid version of course.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] FluffyPenguinMLG:
Hello guys. I've been constantly trying to make my P9 L09 work again after I tried out a beta of emui 5. After trying to get back to stuck a lot of times, with many different OVA's my phone has done nothing but boot into eRecovery. It says "update succesful" but then it will be in a boot loop into erecovery asking me if I want to repair through wifi. I have no idea what to do now. Since the wifi thing just fails. I've tried everything and right now I just want to back to stock. But not even Huawei's own Firmware seems to work. I am from Denmark and I was on a EU firmware B182 to start with. I did not unlock my bootloader or root anything, only updated with vol up, down and power button. I tried to get it to hard reset, but it only gives me the option to restore via. wifi.

The problem starts as soon as it has finished "Optimizing system", please help, and be careful when updating to unofficial beta! ^^

If I find a way to resolve it I will post it below!
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] master':
I think your phone C432 so try this http://xdaforums.com/p9/help/missing-themes-compass-icons-t3519338

Upload files sd card other phone or pc, open your phone dload mode (press vol+ vol- and power button) and ok.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] FluffyPenguinMLG:
FIXED!

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Okay so I fixed the issue. I almost gave up, but I had installed the latest OTA from Huawei's website, and after many attempts at doing a hard reset it finally gave me the option to clear cache and reset the phone to factory. Maybe I had to time the buttons better or maybe it just sorted it self out, but now the phone is like new!

So if anybody runs into the eRecovery boot loop, be patient and try to reset it many times! It might sort itself out.

Thank you for help by the way!
[General Questions and Answers] Vintovka:
So there are a couple of apps that let you do so such as Unified Remote and AnyMote, but the problem is that it only works when that remote is open on the screen.

I tried button remapper but only got as far as opening the remote that controls the volume. If anyone knows of a workaround to do so that would be great. In worst case, possible to have them always controlling the PC volume?

Mine is in full working condition but I'm willing to sell it even though I'm still using it... The truth is: last week I decided I want the Polaris, so I'm willing to give up my Unverisal! Actually, I'll be posting info to sell all that's listed in my signature. Just let me know...

And since the Polaris won't be available until January, this probably means I will have to resort to a regular phone until then... I don't even know if I remember how to use those ancient things.

[OnePlus X Original Android Development] CertifiedBlyndGuy:
Hi everyone,

This is my kernel based on Sultan's sources upstreamed merged with LA.BF.1.1.3-02310-8x26.0. I have put tons of work into this over the last few months, and before I get started I would just like to thank those who have helped me get a better grasp on programming over the last year or so:

Mathew Alex (DespairFactor), Chad Russel, Rohit Poroli, dingermtb, Adesh15, Lord Boeffla, ZaneZam, NoSpamDan, Nachiket Namjoshi, Martinusbe, Joshwin Aranha, SHM, Sultan, DerRomtester, Franco, AK, myfluxi, GalaticStryder, Gandalf, and maxwenn!

Were it not for these people, you would not have this kernel.

I want to go with the KISS philosiphy on this one and make the redundant claim that if you want a proper changelog, use GitHub. I do a lot for every release so maintaining it all in the thread without a bunch of clutter and wasted time is pointless. If I think it's cool or notable, I will bring it up.

I always compile this with the latest version of Uber, it has Sultans thermal driver, it uses Blu Plug as the default hot plug, and I left CPU input boost in tact (not CPU boost) from Sultan's kernel. There are several other features of this kernel that I will not go over quite frankly because it would take forever. Just believe me when I say I put a lot of effort into it

As usual, disrespect will not be tolerated. Failure to exemplify respect will get you reported to a mod. Case closed. Be excellent to one another.

Disclaimer!

I am not responsible for any issues you may have. Those are all on you. If you step in dog **** while walking at night due to the flash burning out, if your phone goes Note 7 on you, or if you encounter any Nazi's or anything of that nature, then I refutre all responsibility. Your flash, your choice.

Update coming at you later today after I do a bit more testing :)

What's planned:

1. Blu Plug (disabled)

2. Improved NEON implementation

3. BFQ instead of Zen as the default IO schedular. I prefer it's greater precision over the deduced latency... On top of that external write speeds seem rk be faster which is a huge bonus for me. Heavy workloads should benefit as well ;)

4. I updated my thermal driver with Franco's latest patches and an additional throttling step. Throttling will also kick in at 42c instead of 40c for those of you living in areas with higher ambient temperatures

5. 2.5ghz was enabled by default for PVS8 users with the optimal voltage. I have spent hours testing it and thus far haven't encountered any issues

6. Faster vmstat

7. Improvements made to CPU boost

8. Improvements to sound control

9. More hidden kernel addresses

10. Several other performance improvements and bugs fixed
