[Moto Z Themes, Apps, and Mods] MechaBouncer:
To confirm, this is a separate project from the gamepad mod that Lenovo/Motorola just announced a MWC 2017. Correct?

As a previous owner of an Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, I find this rather intriguing. It appears that you are attempting to make the controls slide out from the sides. How will everything fit when the controls are slid in? Also could there be an issue of the controls sliding in while gaming? Is there anything to will lock them in place while in use? Lastly, will there be L3/R3 or Select/Start buttons? I do not see those listed in the images.
[Moto Z Themes, Apps, and Mods] x000x:
Glad you posted about this so I could make some comments. I'm not sure the media buttons are very useful. For example, a gamepad is mostly used... for gaming. I can't see a reason for someone to snap on this gamepad for the only purpse to listen to some music or play a video. I think it is an extra cost, that has little benefit in real world applications.

Secondly, I'm not a fan of the whole sliding mechanism thing. I get it, to make it more compact. But the more moving parts you introduce, the more ways for this thing to break. I also can't foresee a person leaving the gamepad on their phone while not gaming with it. It is a nice idea, but looking at those renders, this thing is going to be pretty bulky folded in on itself. Probably most people would snap it on, play some games, then remove it to reduce the bulk of their phone.

Thirdly, will this thing have any speakers like the official moto z gamepad they teased at MWC? I don't know where they would be located, but supposedly it will have 4 speakers built in. One thing I did notice though, was they are apparently not front-facing(at least it didn't seem to be from that render they showed). If you are going to include some speakers like that one, that would be my #1 request. having them front facing, dual stereo speakers.

The Sidepad is the FIRST gamepad concept for Moto Mods :)

We are working on a new design that uses magnetic pins so the wiring inside of the sliding parts does not move. The game pad Motorola announced is not ours, despite the similar design. We created ours at the Motorola Mod The Future hackathon back in December of 2016. See that article here: https://techcrunch.com/2016/12/16/moto-mod-2/

The Sidepad is the FIRST gamepad concept for Moto Mods :)

Thank you for your comment. The short answer is, we are taking notes from our backers and will do everything to make this the best gamepad for gamers, (think Alienware but for mobile gaming) this is a new product and a new company. We would love to make multiple version of the Sidepad given the chance.

Now for the long answer :)

We have not yet put any work into the design for adding speakers, however, it is an interesting thought.... we will consider it. We are solving the size and durability issues by using magnetic pins. Similar to the Nintendo switch, except when our side pad snaps into place, the magnetic pins create the connections directly to the phone so there will be no need for any wireless protocols. The parts will also be cheap to replace just in case one is lost. The side pads will then slide in and magnetically snap into place on the back of the phone. Our new, coming soon, the design will also reduce the bulk of the gamepad.
[Moto Z Themes, Apps, and Mods] MechaBouncer:
Thanks for the response. Considering I just recently upgraded to a Sony Xperia X Compact, I probably won't be getting a Moto Z anytime soon. However, having this available for it would make it far more tempting.

Even if I don't buy it in the Indiegogo campaign, as someone who has wanted a full and proper replacement to the Xperia Play, I can tell you that there are certain things that I would look for:

1. Full console-level button layout support: Directional pad, 4 face buttons, 4 shoulder buttons, 2 analog clickable joysticks (or sliding analog pads with L3/R3 buttons close to them), and Select and Start buttons. This should assure that any emulator (except maybe N64) or PS2 port should be fully represented without needing specific touch screen controls.

2. Directional pad should be responsive and detect 8-directions with ease. D-pads that are mushy or sit too high often have trouble detecting diagonal directions and prove ineffective for fighting games. The Xperia Play had the best D-pad I've ever seen for a phone and even beat the one used on the PSP. Nobody has replicated that level of quality in another phone controller yet.

3. Shoulder buttons should be comfortable to use and easy to reach. Having them on the back may be rather awkward to use. I hope you playtest those well for comfort.

4. Focus should be made for the gaming controls over media buttons. The media buttons sticking out of the bottom look like they would be more in the way. I would prefer that the gamepad be as compact as possible and avoid anything that unnecessarily sticks out of the main unit.

5. I wouldn't worry about any other features except for maybe the extra battery as gaming does sap away power pretty quickly. It sounds like you're already planning to make the battery removable to reduce bulk, so I think this is a really good idea. Giving the user the ability to choose between portability and longevity is a good one.

These are the kinds of things that I would find important. To date, there still hasn't been a decent replacement for what the Xperia Play offered in terms of compact gaming. But it was also far from perfect. Your project sounds very promising as a potential replacement and I hope it does well. Even though I have no ability to use it yet, I will consider contributing to it if it develops in a direction that I like. Thank you.
[Moto Z Themes, Apps, and Mods] x000x:
I agree with everything except this. Why make the ultimate game pad, but then hamstring it with a lame, mono speaker that the moto z comes with? At the very least I'd substitute the media controls for an audio out jack for headphones. But even then, the supposed quad speaker setup with the 'official' moto gamepad is very appealing to me. Audio (for me) is very important in gaming, although I have my doubts that the controls on the official gamepad would be very good. So it comes down to (probably) better controls with this one vs better audio with the other one. Not sure if the official one from moto will have an extra battery or not.

I like the idea of magnetic pins. I was thinking in 'old' terms with some ribbon cables or something :p If it is switch-like, then this would come in 3 pieces?

I can't tell if the gamepad will sit under the phone, like this https://i.imgur.com/Kd0DXUN.jpg

or if it will be designed to sit flush with the phone, like this https://i.imgur.com/IABLsWr.jpg

if it sits flush, I wondered about is having a usb pass-through. Not sure if it could be possible, but being able to charge while playing might be a useful feature.

edit: looking more closely at the renders, it seems to sit under the phone. I'm trying to think of a way to have a usb cable plugged in w/o interfering with the controller buttons/stick
[Moto Z Themes, Apps, and Mods] 10basetom:
I have to agree with some of the sentiment on here: do not make it a slide-out design. You can make it a dock design of even a clamshell design, but please please refrain from doing a slide-out design. As an owner of three devices that have slide-out mechanisms (HTC Apache, HTC Mogul, Sony-Ericsson X10 mini pro), I can tell you first-hand that they are not worth the trouble to manufacture.

Slide-out mechanisms require more moving parts, are more prone to breakage, add weight, increase the time + cost to manufacture, result in increased support costs down the road, and even if you get everything right, they will still break down faster compared to other designs from the gunk that will collect in between the moving parts over time.

Since you guys don't have the manufacturing prowess of HTC or Sony, please spend your effort on the ergonomics of the mod casing and quality of the gamepad buttons, joysticks, triggers, and underlying micro switches instead of trying to make a reliable, robust slide-out mechanism, which like the other poster mentioned will likely be a lost benefit anyway because I reckon most people will remove the mod when game over.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuuu143:
Hi guys,

Please help me out. I wanted to change memory so my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (WiFi) runs faster and Install KitKat ROM on Galaxy Tab 10.1! I followed this video :How to Install KitKat ROM on Galaxy Tab 10.1! - "i cant post the link because am new"

"

I manage to do everything, but I did mistake of using twrp and erase everything.

Now when my galaxy starts it stops at the "Samsung Galaxy TAb 10.1" screen.

When I reboot holding off button and up arrow - nothing happens

When I reboot holding off button and down arrow it goes back to twrp

Even my computer doesnt detect it any more. Can anyone please help me.

Thank you
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AAMMJJ31:
Hello I am new in this forum. And i have the same problem.

"E:System is not installed - preventing reboot!"

I am able to push the on/off button and to turn in the following 2 options.

1.) DOWLOADING MODE

2.) TWRP TEAMWIN RECOVERY PROJECT VERSION 2.2.0 (within this I have many options like, install, backup, restore, Wipe, Mount Settings, Advanced and so on.)

If i only turn on the Tablet P7500 i get errore message at the screen:

"FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE. PLEASE SELECT RECOVERY MODE IN KIES & TRY AGAIN"

I have installed KIES but the TABLET has been recognised!!

I wanted to install ROM of this post

Thanks for your help in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olivier V:
Your best bet in my opinion, is reinstalling the stock firmware with Odin and your tablet in download mode. From there you can start re-rooting and reflashing a custom recovery.

I know, it's a lot of lost time, but at least you'll be able to flash your custom ROM at end ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AAMMJJ31:
Thanks, DONE and Working again.

I installed Android 5.1.1 Lollipop from here but im my case very unstable many crashes, maybe i did something wrong.

Wifi does not work and the other side very often frozen images.

I would only to speed a littble bit up my TAB P7500

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olivier V:
I have the same ROM installed on my tablet and WiFi is working fine here. However there are the Google play services that keep crashing when it automatically updates itself to the latest version. There's pretty much nothing you can do to stop it, except for uninstalling the Google play services and replacing it with the last version that worked, over and over again...

I don't remember what version that was exactly but it's mentioned in the same thread where you got the custom ROM from.

Unless Google decides to fix what it broke all the devices running an Nvidia tegra 2 SoC are left in the cold.

What I'm going to say now is probably not what you'll be wanting to hear, it's time to look for a new tablet :(

Is it possible to run 2 different apps on screen at the same time , like say youtube and chrome . I'm not sure if the phone has the feature
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Kontex:
Well, there is an option to run two instances of one app. So you can use two whats app accounts. And with Nougat update you can set split screen in "Recent Apps" menu by dragging one app to the top of the screen and choosing an other one for the bottom of the screen.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] jijojamie:
Possible in Android 7.

How do you actually do this? Can you tell us please?

[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] jijojamie:
You have two options.

1. Open both apps, as you said YouTube and chrome. Click back/finger print soft button a bit for multi tasking window, click top of one app and drag till the taskbar and release your finger, there you have it.

2. Open the above two apps, or more. Slide the bottom part of screen to reveal on screen navigation bar if you have disabled it. Click and hold multitask button for a bit. That's it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrZener:
I'm doing experiments with my Samsung SM-G389F, and i download (from Samsnung OS portal), compiled and flashed the retail (untouched!) kernel.

Device works fine, but on boot there's a red(it turns blue after a few seconds) watermark with "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING".

It's not a problem, but i would like to understand what triggers that warning and why, since the kernel is a retail one.

How it works? Bootloader contains a hardcoded hash of the original zImage to detect kernel tampering?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DodoGTA:
You'll need to patch your boot.img
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrZener:
What kind of patches? Could you go into detail?

Currently I dumped and unpacked my boot partition, replaced the zImage with the compiled one, repacked and flashed via dd.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DodoGTA:
When you would make your boot image, run this command in your Linux PC or a terminal emulator in your phone:

echo -n "SEANDROIDENFORCE" >> <path of your boot image here (like /sdcard/boot.img, for example)>
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrZener:
You are the man! :)

I haven't noticed that the original boot image has "SEANDROIDENFORCE" at 0x0822800, just a byte after the end of the new image.

Thank you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elvis.trujanovic51:
I don't get it... Well how we can modify that value to disable SEANDROIDENFORCE. What tools needs to be used... Can we get some detailed documentation about patching boot.img SEANDROIDENFORCE
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] AndrasLOHF:
I got the update today and every time the song goes to the next track in the queue the equalizer gets killed. Oddly enough if I manually skip to the next track the equalizer restarts.

Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] AndrasLOHF:
Bueller..... Bueller?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] AndrasLOHF:
So, not sure how I'm the only one experiencing this. It's definitely attributed to the 7.4 update though. Rolling back to 7.3 completely resolved the issue. It also resolved another issue with the Google Play music card not populating in Android Auto when the app opens.
[General Topics] wkearney99:
I've got a new wm6-based Verizon XV6800. Every so often I get an error reading:

But everything seems to be working fine. It just burps this error, on the XV6800 itself. I see no messages on the desktop. I can load apps, sync, etc... and not see the error. I cannot seem to manually recreate the error.

I get no errors when using the ActiveSync troubleshooter.

Where else should I start looking to debug what's causing this error?
[General Topics] wkearney99:
Can't be certain but I think it's related to Windows Media Player 11. If I leave WMP11 open and running the sync errors seem to not happen.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] zys52712:
Since our bootloader UI was not updated to the newer "material" version, I extracted the images from the Moto X Pure's logo.bin put them in ours. I used a unlocked warning removed file as base and used this program to modify the logo.bin and used photoshop to fix some of the rough edges of the boxes.

The attached files are NOT TWRP flashable, so uncompress and flash it through fastboot.

EDIT: Now TWRP flashable, made with bhb27's logo flasher

New low charge screen

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alakazamm:
Hey I got this phone based on a sprint rep telling me that this would be able to be activated on their CDMA network. As I understand it, the Nexus can use GSM and CDMA. Is it because they dont have the proper MEIDs from LG in their system?

Is there any hope in getting this activated with Sprint, I have spent 6 hrs on the phone with different reps lol.

Thanks in advance..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
In the old days (last year) customer service could add your MEID to their database and activate. Now Sprint has to create what is called a click it ticket. This sends your request to the next level up to add your MEID. This could take up to 3 days. I am unsure if you still need a SIM card to access the LTE or not... The 5X and 6P need one.

In short, phone is stuck in a bootloop for no reason that I would know.

Out of warranty, so that option isn't available.

I really just need to get the bootloader unlocked, but I can't access the main screen.

I can access the recovery and bootloader, but when I tried doing an ota update through recovery, (even with NUF26K) it kept failing.

I need to be able to flash a full factory image, which is why I need the bootloader unlocked.

Thank you!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5.1:
Hi... Did the bootloop came from nowhere or what were you doing when it happened?

What error do you get when you sideload the ota?

Tried formatting cache or factory reset?

Edit: You can't downgrade with a locked bootloader.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
You will not be able to unlock the bootloader without booting the OS and entering Dev Options to allow "OEM Unlocking". Now that the 7.1.2 beta is out, that OTA is worth giving a shot. I'd certainly try the suggestions above if the beta OTA fails. If a factory reset does not work, you may be able to fastboot format userdata and cache and try the OTA route again.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matistight:
Completely gave up on this, but I will give you the error when I get home, it was somewhat contradicting.

I have a Oneplus X I am using now, but the screen size is killing my hands! Atleast I am not out a phone

Maybe there is a way to erase/corrupt the system and bootloader and ota with a 6.0.x? I didnt really like android N
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citizen_Snips:
If you erase or corrupt the bootloader then the phone is hard bricked (if it already isn't). I think you need an unlocked bootloader to do that anyways. Any flashing or erasing command in fastboot is going to need an unlocked bootloader. Even if you did somehow manage to delete the bootloader, without the phone being unlocked you can't flash a new one = hard brick.

If your phone is BL locked, you can't access Android, recovery doesn't help, you're mostly out of luck. Some people have said that using MSkips toolkit recovered their phones, but others had no such luck. There's a lot of people in the same boat as you. Others have tried calling Google about the issue despite their warranty status. Your phone is locked and a stock OTA took it out, from the sounds of it. Maybe they'll be willing to work with you. The worst they can do is say no, can't hurt to try. Good luck!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rchtk:
Why do you want to downgrade?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matistight:
Never really like 7.x and it has been the only OS that has bricked my phone without being rooted.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rchtk:
Unfortunately you can neither use an OTA to downgrade nor flash a factory image without BL unlocked.

And I'm not sure that would help either. Your device corrupted itself for a reason and that might be the flash failing (which the Nougat update exhibited, but Nougat isn't the root cause probably). You could rather wait for a higher OTA and hope.

Any recovery log to post?
