[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RED ZMAN:
Having cut the cord in the middle of last year I've been running a Fire TV to for some time but haven't been completely satisfied. I am more involved with the Google ecosystem than the Amazon ecosystem using Google Play Music and the Play Store and the like.

My device will be hardwired like everything else in my entertainment center and had a few questions.

1. I root most everything that I buy Android but I did not on my Amazon Fire TV 2. Why would I want to root the shield Pro?

2. This will be my first Shield device, any suggestions or tricks that I should know? I am reading through this forum but I figured beginner's tips for a long time Android User might be helpful.

3. I haven't been able to find anything out about the Google Assistant update coming out yet. Has anyone heard an approximate date for it?

4. Same as number three but about the Samsung SmartThings dongle?

Thanks everybody.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ichijoe:
Some threads I would recommend you read up on might be, (or cover).

SSD Migration. Not so much for replacing the SSHD with a SSD, but to make a backup of it! This will likely prove to be one of the smartest things you could do especially if you plan on rooting. In case you ever run into Problems.

Two rooting on the Shield is a kind of miss the only benefit I ever got from it was being able to add Unofficial Channels inside Plex. The biggest reason for me to want to root anything would be to use AdAway. Now I guessing it's the way AndroidTV is setup over normal Android. But, FWIW AdAway just does not do its job of blocking Ads on a sideloaded Chrome Browser at all.

Again depending on which side of the curve you are on with 4k UHD, you will have problems loading up TWRP on the Shield TV. At least this is the case with most reports here, and myself included.

Continuing you could just replace the stock recovery with TWRP, and that would work.. 'Till you get hit with an OTA Update where it's expecting to use the Stock Recovery, and will eventually loop itself without it. If you found yourself with a Shield in late January in that situation. You'd have noted that nVIDIA were lax to release a working v5.x Recovery Image. So you used the one from v3.3.0, and now your bricked!

This is why I suggest you really dig into the SSD Migration Thread(s), in Order to create a clone image of the local HDD first.

I would also add that you probably should ONLY ever fastboot boot recovery TWRP-*.img, and NEVER! fastboot flash recovery TWRP-*.img

But, unless you need Unofficial Channels on Plex, and theres nothing there that isn't already on Kodi. There doesn't seem to be any real compelling reason to root the Shield. And in all fairness I regret having done it now.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] tfc87:
During my Nexus 5x days, my daily driver was Pure Nexus, and one of my favorite features was the ability to enable/disable the flashlight/torch via holding the power button (with the screen off mainly).

I know PN is available for the Pixel right now, but I'm trying to stick with Stock for as long as I can so I can take OTA's. Does anyone know how to get the same torch functionality? I am currently rooted and have found several non-root apps that allow 3 taps of the power button to enable torch...but it's not the same thing as being able to long-press with the screen off! I liked being able to take my phone out of my pocket, hold the power button to enable torch, then tap the power button one more time to disable...all without turning on the screen.

Thanks all in advance for your help!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] droid4lif3:
Did you ever find something? I miss that I could do that on my n5x too.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] nmhforlife:
Maybe not exactly what you are looking for but I am loving Torchie right now. It has brought one of the best and simplest things from custom roms. It tends to be a bit of a power hog when enabling use with the screen off, but I have found it is pretty easy to manage. Non-root as well.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] xmoox:
I wish Android would add this feature as stock it's such a useful feature
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] tfc87:
I ended up biting the bullet and going to Pure Nexus. It has been rock solid for me, and this feature among others make it well worth the effort and few nuances there are. I will agree, though, it would have made it a tougher decision to move away from stock if Google had this feature built-in!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] greekboydinos:
I've been with pure Nexus every step of the way with this pixel and bless that guy's heart for continuing the good work that he's been doing.

but like you I want Oreo now :( and a way to activate the flash light just by holding down the power button when the screen is off
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Alg0rhyth3m':
Honestly this was really the only reason that I stayed on pure Nexus for so long and one of the main reasons that I actually root in my pixel in the first place for. This is one of the most convenient modifications I've ever ran across and I actually use it every single day for so many different things. I just upgraded to Android 8.0 Oreo and am horrified that there is no simple solution for this on Oreo yet. Could somebody please implement this into Oreo somehow on the system level, possibly within the kernel or something of that nature?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] xmoox:
Just wanted to give an update. I found button mapper with root seems to work great with volume down for the flashlight. It seems to break a couple things though

(volume down to take picture and DND mode) and I need to contact the developer. It works great for turning on and off the flashlight though with screen off or on. (requires root).

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] tfc87:
First of all, I'm glad some of you are resurrecting this post. Maybe someone much smarter than me can explain how the developer of Pure Nexus is able to implement this? These developers never ceases to amaze me in what they can add on the front of functionality...but is it not possible to develop (again, someone much smarter than me) a flashable zip to implement this?

I like how much Google continues to add in to stock Android on customization and features that we used to have to root for. This flashlight mod would almost certainly keep me on stock...
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ydnolb4:
Thanks, it works great. I set it to volume up so I can still turn on DND mode and take pics with volume down.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ambush276:
is there a way to make point UI like the default of everything. When i press the red button on my touch, it goes backto WM desktop. IF i want to use this as a normal "skin" then it needs to go back to the homescreen when presing the red button, and only going back to normal WM desktop when i manually do it???... Also how do you stop programs w/in pointui home. it just says currently running, and how do you stop those progs?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FloatingFatMan:
Perhaps you should ask this on the PointUI forums?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jychan28:
Use third party X-Button,Task Manager or Resco to close program when you back to WM desktop. You can close programs with 1.01b but still quite a bit steps. It does not fall back to Home screen is still no get around yet. Same if you lock the device but if you press the power button, it will unlock. This UI has not worked all bugs out yet.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mr. Vi:
Tap on the arrow on the lower screen of PointUI Home

-> Currently Running

-> Select your desired application

-> The program opens with the PointUI titlebar

-> Tap on the name of the application

-> Force Close

Then youre on your Desktop again. Tap on the title "Desktop" and select "Home" again.

Yes, quite a lot steps, but I'm already used to it :)

Greetings and have a nice day :)
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
About a week ago, I started having issues with the Now Cards (or feeds or whatever Google calls them now) showing up on the Google Now screen when I swipe over. My google search screen (on left) showed no cards even after 24 hours had passed, but in the notification dropdown, it showed a weather notification and showed some number of cards at the bottom right. I could click on the notification and it took me to the Google Now search, which had NO cards. I reset the Google Search settings, history, and the Google app. It worked...for about 2 hours. Now back to notifications showing 21 Cards under the Weather but nothing in the Google now search screen.

Since I was wanting to go ahead and unlock my bootloader and root, I reset the phone, rooted it, and all the other fun stuff. Google Now Cards...still the same problem. Even took the same steps outlined above. I get a few hours where it works, then nothing.

So my question is this: Cards/Feeds seems to be on because I am getting notifications, but clicking on it takes me to a blank Google search screen. How do I make the cards under notifications show on the Google Now search? Or am I missing something else? Did Google just decide to break their own stuff during their EOL for Google Now launcher?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quakeaz:
Mine has been doing this occasionally as well, I am using the Google App beta, so I thought it may be due to that. Are you using the stable release?

Tapping the search bar within the Google App (where the cards/feed should be) fixes this issue for me, until the next time it occurs, usually a day or so later.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
I'm using stable. My cards have come back again but for how long is unknown. I guess Google is messing things up in the updates because it started happening right after the latest update.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
Card went away again. Quite frustrating. I'm using Google now launcher so I will try to switch.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quakeaz:
I'm using Nova, same issue. Just tapping the search bar from within the Google app brings my cards back.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
Tapping the search bar on Nova didn't help until I reset the Google search, then quit working again (yes I get a decent number of feeds do to weather, online orders, etc). I actually liked the now launcher and swiping over as I actually find the cards useful. I like Nova well enough so with now cards being intermittent at best, I might as well turn off the feeds to save battery if they aren't reliable for now and switch over to Nova so I can utilize screen real estate to the left of home.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quakeaz:
Tapping the search bar from within the Google app fixes mine, not on the launcher home screen. So with GNL, swipe to Google Now, tap search, fixed. Nova: open Google app, tap search. On my device this works anyway.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
Didn't work on mine. I'll keep trying some various things over the next few days to see what comes of it. Hopefully it is just a bug that Google will release an update to fix.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guerito73:
I had same issue, I solved that issue doing the following:

go to settings => application => app google => empty cache and data

Kind of factory reset for google search app.

Just need to re enable google now after that and cards are back.

Seems not be device related but google search update released 17/02/2017 see the comment on the play store.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
After reading through the reviews on the play store, it is looking like an update issue by Google. Using the Google now launcher pretty much leaves the cards useless for me. If I use another launcher, the Google search app will work with the new tab thing they have going on.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychoTribe:
Hi all,

I am with Google Now Launcher. I have the same issue with the google now cards. Can't seem to make them appear on will. They come and go whenever :D Tried force close on Google app, cleaning cache and so on. Opening the app from the app drawer make no difference. Interestingly when I switch to Pixel Launcher and tap the google logo on the top left on the home screen and then tap the google logo from the search bar all the cards are there but when I go back to GNL the cards are missing :D

So I guess something is messed with Google app/Google Now Launcher relation.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
Thanks for confirming this. I wonder if Google is just giving up completely on the Google now launcher since they are removing it from the play store. It bites if they are especially considering the are a fair number of people who use it.

My thoughts exactly :)
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darnell_Chat_TN:
I have also been having this issue. Blank Google Now feed and using the Google Now Launching, which is stock. My MXPE is virgin stock since day 1. I have even factory rest and the issue still came back a couple of days later.

This all started about a month ago for me too.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
Thanks. It is obvious from reviews and he that Google screwed it up with an update... About the time they added tabbed feeds. What a crappy way to drop support if that is their end game.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] autosurgeon:
My cards are functioning fine..Haven't noticed any change or missing cards.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Yeah, I started having problems after a Google App update.

When we get Google notifications, for things like time to leave for an appointment. It goes to Google Now when the notification is pressed and there's a blank screen.

If Google were to end support, it would leave us with dibiltated devices.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

Maybe the ROM you're using still uses an older version of the Google app, before the issues started?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
The cards work fine if using another launcher like Nova and you enter the Google app. In fact the Google search app when entered via another launcher will show the tabbed feeds that the latest update boasts about.

It is specifically the Google Now Launcher with the swipe to left function which seems to have the feeds broken. The tabbed feeds will not show up in the Google app under Google Now. If you press the colorful G icon, in all apps or the persistent search bar, it does not launch into the Google app, but rather takes you to the left of the homescreen, which is the part that is broken.

Since Google plans to remove the Google Now Launcher from the app store, I fear they may have dropped support for it and will not fix the feeds issue. I hope Google's announcement to bring Google Assistant this week to MM and N will fix this problem... Or give us the Pixel Launcher (I know I'm dreaming but I can hope).
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Thank you, you're right. I prefer Arrow Launcher as a fallback and now the cards work again.

And I agree, Google probably will not fix the Now Launcher. We will see how they plan to roll out Google Assistant.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darnell_Chat_TN:
New Google App Update fixes Google Now Launcher, but Nova no longer works the same

There's a new Google App update out. Maybe preparing us for Google Assistant :) .

It fixes the Google Now Launcher. But now, when clicking "Google" in the search bar on Nova Launcher, instead of Google Now cards opening, it's just a search and nothing more.

After using the Arrow launcher for a bit, I moved to Nova.

I'll stick with Nova for now and added a desktop icon to open Google when I need Google Now cards.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tapiwasam:
Hi all

i think i have managed to narrow down the random touch issue of the z5 compact to one thing:

heres how i conducted the experiment: each case ran for 3 days.

Case 1: i dunked the phone in the freezer till it cooled to 2°C, then attempted to use it

Result: the phone was basically unusable, it had touches on the usual narrow band towards the bottom of the phone.

Case 2: i used a dodgy cable that i got from a nameless vendor

Result: the phone was unusable while charging, but became stable as soon as I removed the cable

Case 3: Ran the phone as hot as possible (playing games, recording 4k) till the phone shut down

Result: there were no touch issues at all.

Case 4: I repeated the above experiments after dunking the phone in water for 5 seconds

Result: In all cases, the phone went crazy and the screen was unusable.

Case 5: i preheated the oven to 100°C for half an hour, then dunked the phone into water, then wiped it and placed it in the oven for an hour.

Result: the phone worked just fine, even after repeating the experiment 3 times.

Conclusion: Ironically, the Z5 Compact's display hates water, or moisture. so if you keep the phone as dry as possible, keep it away from water/sweat/tea/rain etc, you should be able to play nicely with it
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simo99dr:
Sorry for the silly question, but what kind of random touch issue are you talking about? Never experience that during normal usage, and it seems obvious to me that if you get the device wet, water on the screen will make the screen go crazy due to the conductive nature of water... The same reason of why we can use the touchscreen with our fingers. And I honestly don't know how healthy your experiments are for your device? drastic temperature change can crack the glass and damage the seals ?
