[General Questions and Answers] sasha_:
So, after some reading, i figured I should be able to apply update form recovery that will replace build.prop with modified one. For start, to test things out, I just want to copy file from update.zip to /system/build.prop.test

I created update.zip with update-script and the file I want to add to /system.

Here is update.zip: www . filedropper.com /update_10

I signed update.zip using this:

www . learn2crack.com /2014/02/sign-android-apk-zip.html

I get error "Signature verification failed". Is the problem that keys are test keys or that they are outdated? Is some special manufacturer key required to sign updates?

I am not looking for someone to do this, I just need to be pointed in the right direction.
[General Questions and Answers] sasha_:
I have multiple users now :

- downloaded TWRP from bluroms.info

- connected the phone, enabled USB debugging and OEM unlocking in developer options

- run "adb reboot bootloader"

- after phone booted in fastboot mode

fastboot oem unlock (followed instructions on screen / all data wiped)

fastboot boot blutwrp.img (downloaded TWRP)

- twrp started...

- mounted /system

adb pull /system/build.prop

- edited build.prop

adb push build.prop /system/build.prop

adb reboot

- phone got stuck on logo after reboot

removed battery and started the phone again and all seems good :)

[MENTION=5989419]sasha_[/MENTION] Hey I know this isn't about how to root but could you tell me exactly how you managed to root your Blu Advance 5.0 HD? PM me.
[General Questions and Answers] sasha_:
If by rooting you mean, installing supersu so that apps can request root access, i did not do that, because i do not need it. There must be some tutorial around about installing supersu once you root access to the /system - and the steps I described can you get there.
[General Questions and Answers] mrfunnybone:
So is getting root access to system like booting recovery TWRP? then pressing the Mount button and checking System? Sorry I'm a newb at this.

Anyone have this on their Tilt/TYTN II and able surf the web? I keep getting an error that says "Unable to connect to the server. Please try later". I can connect with PIE, and Opera Mini, is there a setting or something I'm missing?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] grizzley:
I dont use mine often, but I used it about 9 hours ago and it worked fine. With the older version, I got that error from time to time, maybe about 3% of the time. But since using the latest version, I have never seen the message.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] snooginsguy:
I had to connect to the internet with regular IE, then start up Picsel Browser before it would work. You might try Netfront Browser instead, it works a lot better IMO.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Menneisyys:
Agreed. IMHO, Picsel is just isn't worth bothering with. Alternative browsers are WAY better. See http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...new Opera Mobile, Picsel, Spb Pocket Plus etc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] brianlb:
Thanks i'll check out net browser, i really liked the way picsel was setup but i can't tell how surfer the net is, all i know is PIE is slow for surfing the net and i don't like the way Opera Mini is setup, i've tried minimo which isn't too bad, but i can't seem to be able to scroll using the screen w/it, i have to use the scroll bars on the side and bottom.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] srmz:
Why don't you give Opera 8.65 mobile a try. I mean the real Opera mobile not Opera Mini. NetFront used to be my favourite browser but now I think Opera Mobile has overtaken NetFront plus the developers of NetFront have excessively slowed down their development process. Just see for almost a year they are just posting Technical Previews of version 3.4 and not the final version and for most of the Technical Previews I failed to see how it differed from the previous except for an extended expiry date.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] brianlb:
does opera mobile work similar to opera mini? i mean the functions were you click to type into the search section of a site then it opens up another window were you type in what you want? that's one of the few features i don't like about opera mini, that and you can't take off the yahoo search function. and are you able to play youtube video's on opera mobile? or do you have to add programs to do that?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] srmz:
The behavior for new windows opening in Opera Mobile is exactly the same as on the real desktop internet explorer, specially if you have set it to allow opening of Pop-Up windows.

Regarding playing of Youtube movies, yes it does manage playback but the video is very choppy.

I suggest why not try the free evaluation version?

Regards
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] brianlb:
that's what i did was download the 30day trial, i'm mainly just looking for something that will load pages a little faster than PIE, if i can play videos of sites, that'd be nice too, but loading pages quickly is what i'm looking for. so far it seems no faster than PIE.

I am having the same exact problem on a Motorola MotoX Pure edition. Message says "signin error for USERNAME", where USERNAME represents one of the common user ID's that I use. So I don't think this is limited to OnePlus phones. It is worth pointing out that the word "signin" is a single word like that in the message I am seeing. It is not "sign in" or "sign-in".

I haven't had any luck figuring out how to get rid of it either. Think it might be a virus, except none of the AV utilities I have tried have detected anything.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arisend:
My Fire automatically updated to 5.3.2.1 in December and now I cant root it without hard bricking it so I had some questions about my situation here.

Will there be root in the future for 5.3.2.1? I'm not knowledgeable in the matter at all but I've seen some groups/teams say that the hack they released will only ever work on a certain version and not in future ones due to system limitations or the company patching the security flaw they worked so hard to find so I was curious if there's still hope for people that updated or accidentally updated to latest.

And what is the best way and most efficient to disable system updates while I hope for root in my current version?

Thanks

Hey

I have a G900F and I'm wondering wich rom you consider to be the best and why. I have stock marshmallow and it's been laggy lately. I would like to give a try to a custom ROM. I'm interested in lineage os and resurrection remix but I'm not sure if I should use any of them since I read on the forum that both have some sort of problem with gapps. Can you help?

Tell me if it's safe to install any of the above or if you can recommend another.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Welcome to the S5 community [MENTION=6593887]balangmusic[/MENTION],

Have a look at this thread for some ROM suggestions:

Which ROM do you like most?

RR 5.7.4 is a popular choice and I highly recommend using it. It is a little outdated in terms of security updates but it gets the job done and it is feature packed. LineageOS is currently a little buggy with Google Play Services, where your phone would freeze after auto updating.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysticJokes:
or p h oenix rom
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eggleston11:
general rule - AOSP roms such as the ones you are interested in - can get nougat (which comes with perks such as extra features and extra security), bugs (as stated above) stability and compatibility issues (some have issues with fingerprint and sometimes camera) .

Touchwiz roms (e.g. Omega) - can only get up to marshmallow (or lollipop depending on the rom). more stable

I lean more towards Touchwiz based rom. if i wanted AOSP rom, I would have gotten a Nexus. I'm also not to concerned about what version of android i'm running.

I personally use Xtrestolite which is lollipop, touchwiz based and quite old. However, it's very stable. I'm having no issues.

Why do I use lollipop? - I really like Ktoonsez's Kernel.

In my opinion, I like Xtrestolite, or Alliance (although both are currently unsupported and are lollipop based at latest).

Omega is a Touchwiz based one (and pretty good) that supports Marshmallow now I believe. I reckon you should give that a try if you want a good balance between up-to-dateness, features and stability.

I'll post any links is you are interested in any of these and want links.

Edit: also very interested to hear about other good roms and people's opinions

Also Red's Revenge seems pretty cool and recent. havent tried it yet though.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] alsip1023:
Hey guys! I'm on a Verizon UDP rooted and tethering enabled. I have always tethered to give my tablet connectivity for Netflix. Previous phones (I.e. Nexus 6, 6p) my normal data usage was 40-50 GB per month. If I didn't watch a lot of videos it would obviously drop.

Anyway, I just wrapped up my first month on the Pixel XL. To my complete surprise, my data usage was 200+ GB. I checked the usage and it's all from tethering/portable hotspot. Yesterday alone, the usage was 8 GB. I was comfortable using 50 GB. I don't wanna be the guy eating up 200+ GB in a month though.

Anyone else ran into anything like this? I don't know what could be different between the Pixel and the Nexus 6p that would cause Netflix to gobble up so much more data. My usage has not changed. I haven't tinkered with any data saving settings on Netflix or on either phone. I'm honestly not sure if it's an issue with the Pixel XL or something that happened in a Netflix update since Christmas. Since the tablet is wifi only, it doesn't have the Netflix cellular data settings in the app setting. I'm baffled...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cntryby429:
Is it possible Netflix is just streaming at a higher resolution? Maybe you get better download rates with the pixel. Maybe they added a tower coincidentally at the same time you got the pixel. If you still have the nexus you could stream a movie and check your data usage then stream the same movie with the pixel to compare.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] alsip1023:
Could be Netflix running at a higher quality, however I have no way to change the quality...So that would be a Netflix update issue. It's definitely not a new tower boosting the network speed in the last month. I'm in a different city everyday, so they surely haven't added that much to the network. Maybe I can try the streaming from both phones this weekend. That would at least confirm if it's something with the Pixel, or some greater unknown problem.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mac796:
I called Verizon asking about my plan the other day and asked if there planning to take my ud away anytime soon. She told me that they are sending out letters to people using over 100_150 a month. Taking them off ud or cancel them completely. Wonder if there's any truth to that
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] alsip1023:
I read that somewhere as well. Yet another reason I want to figure what's changed and get my usage back down to a reasonable amount. Obviously I could just stop watching videos. I'd much rather find the cause of a 1 hour episode quadrupling in data usage from December (Nexus 6p) and January (Pixel XL).
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Scott:
Is your hotspot password protected or open? Could someone be connecting into your hotspot?

Have you looked in settings to see what cause your data to flare up?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] alsip1023:
Great thought, but yeah the hotspot is password protected. Setting shows basically all of the data usage is from tethering.

Apparently Netflix lists that HD shows over wifi use up to 3 GB per hour. This actually sounds in line with what I'm getting on my high usage month. I wonder if something changed in the Netflix app on my tablet (an update) where it's now streaming full throttle...Maybe before, it acted as though it was using cellular data and set to run a lower resolution. Now it thinks it's on home wifi and it's streaming full HD to my same old tablet.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cntryby429:
That's pretty much what I was saying. Netflix will stream at the highest quality possible so it's likely that something changed, maybe related to your phone, around the same time you got the phone and Netflix noticed that it CAN stream at a higher vibrate so it did.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 318sugarhill:
Can you lower the stream resolution? I've never gone above 20....and since December I've been pushing @40. Only a few for tethering. I'm finding the NBC sports app is racking it up for me
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] alsip1023:
On a wifi only tablet, the Netflix app does not have the option to adjust data usage by changing the video quality. There is an entire Netflix profile option to change the resolution. The downside is that this lowers the resolution for every device you steam to....So using low quality will suck when you go home and fire up Netflix on the 65" 4k TV.

Today I used 9gb of data while watching maybe 3 hours of Netflix video on my tablet. I phoned Netflix this past weekend to express my concern. The lady kept me on the phone for about an hour, and the final word was they hadn't made any changes on their end. I'm really convinced that going from the Nexus 6p to the Pixel XL would not cause the hotspot to use quadruple the data on Netflix.

I'm just completely bummed over this and at a complete loss.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] johnciaccio:
Netflix should be using lower bandwith when connected through data. On Wifi it will whatever your settings are on the website account settings. I think you are going to have to change it up and down via the site when you are on the tablet or at home. You may also look for hotspot software that can restrict data rate to other devices.

Good Luck.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] alsip1023:
That's what I'm thinking as well. The unfortunate hassle of changing the account settings. It's just strange how it wasn't like this a month ago. Then something happens and the data use goes through the roof.

ctrl+alt+shift+s while streaming a video on netflix will bring up a menu which will let you change your video settings including video bandwidth and audio bitrate

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] gpeters11:
Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem with my Pixel XL. I use tethering when traveling for business and notice too that just by doing my business activity I'm using more than double the data than on my Nexus phone. It is Andriod OS that is using about the same data then the tethering option. I called Google support and was told that this is a known issue and that Google is working on a fix

Android Scriptmaker is a little software piece which is able to make the required lines to set the right permissions in a recovery script.

The idea behind this script is to be able to make a flashable .ZIP out of any ROM, such as stock ROMs, custom ROMs that are unavailable anymore, etc.

This script is COMPLETELY compatible with the Unix Shell without any previous modifications.

Required installed software: grep, wc and cat. The script will test if your device lacks support of any of them.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
Stock - based best choice would be Dstriker. For custom ROM, (assuming you plan on unlocking bl), the only one that's fully working and up-to-date is Jaguar, which is excellent, but since it is an LP base with many new integrations, don't expect to use Play Store or Xposed at the moment. Maybe when Xposed for N is released, it will work. The other new custom roms are Nougat roms, which are still quite experimental. If you want to go back to LP, there are several good roms, but haven't been updated for a while. Don't bother with MM custom roms if you care about the camera, since it never went anywhere.
