[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Neorpowa:
I think the distribution time differs per carrier.. For me, (T-Mobile NL) the firmware is often available after it being on Sammobile for one day at max. But sometimes carriers only allow a certain amount of people to upgrade per hour/day, not sure why. (maybe to prevent server overload)

I noticed the same, EE update but not pushed to my handset. I was about to download the firmware and Odin then found a guide that said to use Samsung Smart Switch for Windows. I installed that and although the update was not available to me via OTA through the Smart Switch application I was able to update.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smartie36:
Hi,

So my dad is completely blind and I'm looking for an android phone that supports the 'ok Google from any screen' option. I let my dad listen to how I could use the ok google command to change radio stations in the tunein radio app on my s7 edge without having to touch the screen or press any buttons.

That's an ideal way for my dad to use the tunein app, I have an old galaxy s2 which I flashed a lollipop custom rom onto the phone in the hope it would add the option to allow ok google from any screen but that options missing in the voice settings and instead only has the option to use it from within the google search app which is no good for him.

Would I be right in saying that any new ish phone that's running Android 5 or above would have the option to say ok google from any screen? Also the ability to enable ok Google voice control from the lock screen when using either a wired /Bluetooth headset would be even better for my dad to operate the phone, that function works on my s7 edge but doesn't work on my s2 with the custom lollipop rom even though the setting is enabled.

Many thanks for this reply, that voice access app sounds exactly like what my dad needs to use a phone, will download it via your link and see if it'll work on an old galaxy s2 using a custom lollipop rom.

Nexus 6P - Stock - ElementalX Kernel - 7.1.1

While using the ElementalX Kernel Manager app, it will not save my governor profile that i have chosen to use after a boot. I have apply on boot checked next to literally everything in the CPU tab to be sure it is set. The CPU governor is set on boot, and no apps i'm aware of are interfering. I use greenify, but the kernel manager isn't being greenified. Specifically the touchboost setting they won't save. I have touch boost disabled, and it does stick after boot. But when i go into the app, after a boot, it jumps to 1300 hz like i didn't apply any settings! As soon as I apply the governor I want to use, it works and the profile does stick. The problem only happens AFTER a boot. Some settings do seem to stick around, like for how long the cpu will stay at 1300 hz after i touch the screen. Currently using Glassfish 1.2.

hello guys this is guide to pixel-fy your moto G 2014

google assist-OK google working

unlimited photos storage :D:D:D:D on google photos

google dailer

pixel lancher

pixel icons

pixel ringtones

pixel wallpaper

pixel boot animation both black and white

prerequisite

1) for google dailer and boot animation can be done on any marshmallow Or CM13 Based Roms and above but google assist requires android N(7.0+) roms only

2) i suggest you to do a nandroid back up before you go two the next steps because build.prop needs to be edited for google assist to work

process

1)download following files

drive.google.com/open?id=0ByAATQWgLIoaYXdubDU0NTBXY2s-google contacts

drive.google.com/open?id=0ByAATQWgLIoaSmZkTURIbGI1MmM-google[/url] dialer

OR

bit.ly/2efVrRm-flashable[/url] zip for dialer and conatcts

drive.google.com/open?id=0B64SjonDLL-uOGFBYzRsNnk0bms-pixel boot animation (BLACK) ONLY IF NEEDED

drive.google.com/open?id=0B64SjonDLL-uLThid0lPNUdCNzA-pixelexperience (includes pixel launcher icons and white pixel boot animation)

before flashing pixel experience zip DONT FORGET TO DO A NANDROID BACKUP and doing a factory reset is advised but not a necessary

after flashing the zip u will get all the ringtones ,boot animation , pixel lancher ,icons ,unlimited photo storage will also get activated

to get dialer first disable dialer and contacts app ur having

then install both the given apks one after the other and change the default calling app to the above installed app -done you will have a pixel dialer

If you want a flashable zip download it and flash it with twrp recovery -done (dont forget to diable ur system dialer and contacts apps )

if you face any booting issues after flashing pixel experience restore ur back up and try again

there are many XDA threads for pixel experience i have tried many and ended up struck in a blank boot loop(build.prop damaged ) this all are perfectly working on my moto g and i just want to share this with every one

remember guys you cannot update your phn any more as your device name is changed to Google Pixel so to revert back just restore your backup thats the only way (dont try to edit build.prop u will end up with blank flashing boot loop and u will end up doing same nandroid backup restore:p:p:p:p:p)

all the above are a group of perfectly working zips and apks (for moto g )

report if you find any issues

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
It says it provides the latest Android Security Patch on the Verizon Galaxy S5 Update page.

Now that the Odin FW is out, I flashed an Odin tar of the FW without the aboot and still have a Dev Edition phone. Now we just need an updated aboot.

Original Post:

It says it provides the latest Android Security Patch but if you notice, there is a difference in the "middle" of the build number, which happens when they update the bootloader.

Verizon Galaxy S5 Update page

The first time they updated the bootloader, it prevented downgrading. The number went from G900VVRU1 to G900VVRU2. This time, it's going from G900VVRU2 to G900VVRS2. What does this mean? I have no clue. But I do know that nobody should update until someone like [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] or [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] has a look at the bootloader to see what exactly this changes. Hopefully it doesn't remove the ability to have Dev Bootloaders anymore.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
The 2 in the version represents the bootloader version usually as long as that doesn't change you should still be able to downgrade
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
But what does it mean when they change it from VRU2 to VRS2?

The VZW S5 bootloader has always been VRU1 or VRU2. Now all of the sudden they change it to VRS2? They had to have changed something.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] afaneh92:
No matter what they change, I think it will be unlocked forever.

I have seen the update yesterday but still not tested as s5 is my daily driver.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
No if they make it so we can't downgrade then their will be no way to obtain root. Since my bootloader update isn't always successful you could get stuck without being able to root on a worse case scenario. Now you can always start over and reroot
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] afaneh92:
You are right, if no root there no unlock.

But If you noticed that all the unlocked devices, Note 3, Note 4 and S5 are downgradeable. S3 and S4 are not!

I think its all about eMMC not the bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] al50:
If i read your post correctly, I believe that you may be incorrect on the last sentence. To unlock the bootloader, the devices mentioned need to have the Samsung eMMC 15 chip to aquire unlocking the bootloader.

Also, pretty much the same as the S5, N4 & N3, the S3 & S4 are downgradeable IF you didn't take the update that locked the bootloaders. As i know because I still own my VZW S3 which is unlocked and running TWRP recovery
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] afaneh92:
I own S3 locked on 4.4.2 and 15 CID and no downgrade caused by eMMC and the aboot together, I think there a fuse triggerd so we cant unlock and downgrade.

My S4 is 11 CID and no downgrade too.

The PL1 update is not up yet so we cant be sure it will lock the bootloader or not, but the S6 already has same bootloader versioning letters on the new update!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
I also noticed that my Tab 4 (no carrier, wifi only) just got an update for the first time in like a year and it's bootloader version changed from UEU1 to UES1. Maybe it doesn't mean anything after all.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
Well now that the odin firmware came out this morning, I created a .tar without the aboot, flashed it, and I still have a Dev edition with the PJ2 aboot. Hopefully [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] will create a bootloader update zip for the PL1 aboot.

Installation Notes

Installation Notes:

We have tested the upgrade from CM-13.0 (official / unofficial) and a clean install.

It is possible to install LineageOS 14.1 over an existing installation of CM-13.0 by following those steps:

* Download the zip from the link

(* If you have Google Apps installed, you will need to update those as well, download a package for Android 7.1 ARM64 from OpenGApps for example)

* Push zip(s) to device

* Reboot to recovery

* Do a Backup of Boot, System, Data (optional but recommended)

* Choose Install and select the zip of LineageOS 14.1 and read next step before proceeding

* If you want Google Apps, it is required to install them BEFORE you boot into LineageOS the first time

* Install

* Clear cache / dalvik

* Reboot

Please make sure you are aware of the known and the possibility of unknown issues before considering installation!

Looks like its not applying anything from /file_contexts.bin. Various files and folders in /data have wrong SELinux context (its mostly media_rw_data_file). For example, if I manually change using chcon:

pme:/ # chcon u:object_r:property_data_file:s0 /data/property/*
pme:/ # chcon u:object_r:system_data_file:s0 /data/misc
misc/ misc_ce/ misc_de/
pme:/ # chcon u:object_r:system_data_file:s0 /data/misc/
pme:/ # chcon -R u:object_r:gatekeeper_data_file:s0 /data/misc/gatekeeper/
pme:/ # chcon -R u:object_r:gatekeeper_data_file:s0 /data/misc/cam
camera/ cameraserver/
pme:/ # chcon -R u:object_r:camera_data_file:s0 /data/misc/camera
pme:/ # chcon -R u:object_r:ipacm_data_file:s0 /data/misc/ipa
pme:/ # chcon -R u:object_r:system_data_file:s0 /data/system/users/userlist.xm>
pme:/ # chcon -R u:object_r:system_data_file:s0 /data/system/users/

I can make gatekeeperd, camera server etc. stay alive. All of these are present in /file_contexts.bin.

Anybody know what's going on? This is a dirty flash. And I have done the usual dance of installing gapps, wiping of the caches. Anyway to force it to apply selinux context from /file_contexts.bin in one shot?
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] crpalmer:
What exactly is the usecase? I do dirty flashes all the time and I also verified that everything seemed to work after a clean flash.
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] devsk:
Nothing special. I have been updating my CM13 install with newer builds and it has never given me any trouble dirty flashing. But today's ROM, 5th Jan (the first build which disables permissive selinux), it went into a boot loop. Rest is all mentioned in the posts above.

Its very strange!! I have several files with wrong selinux context in /data. Various daemons are dying getting access to those for obvious reasons (selinux is not permissive).

Somewhere along the upgrade path, some version of CM used media_rw_data_file context for a whole bunch of files and folders in /data and that is stuck. I was hoping something during the init will refresh/upgrade those using the latest information from /file_contexts.bin file but nothing does. Do you know what is supposed to apply /file_contexts.bin to the existing folders in /data. I understand newer files and folders will get the right context from the daemons when read/write files/folders. e.g. If let's /data/misc itself is media_rw_data_file, system_server can't even create a folder inside it, let alone create files in those subfolder and setup correct selinux context.
