[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gomuninguen:
Hello, wanted to try this out as one of the game I play is always freezing on me, and when it does it's like the phone just dies for a couple seconds, at worst case it takes 30ish seconds and then just restarts or keeps freezing for just a second constantly, which is super weird and makes me rage whenever it happens in the middle of an important game moment. Also the battery consumption is crazy. I just have a couple questions, is there anything I need to activate besides USB debugging? Do I need to turn the phone on in safe mode? Or do I just install the flash tool on my computer and do the steps that are on the image?

edit: tried using adb, tried using pdanet. The flash tool never works, neither does it even detect the phone. I don't get it.

24) Swipe down from the top to see the soft keys.

Clarification about the NEW solution to hide the soft keys :

Someone pointed out that there is already a default method to hide the soft keys.

Probably I did not express myself well. I will try to put some more light on it.

I already knew about the "default opportunity" to hide the soft keys.

But the "default opportunity" do NOT hide the "Notification & Status Bar".

In addition, the method to un-hide the soft keys is impractical.

Instead, my solution hide also the "Notification & Status Bar" (more screen space).

In addition, the method to un-hide the soft keys is more practical.

tiny little imperfection FIXED

tiny little imperfection FIXED

This morning, I found out that "Immerse Me" xposed module has a small flaw.

It seems difficult to type onto WhatsApp chat screen.

Unfortunately "Immerse Me" not has a very important opportunity :

to allow or deny certain apps to use immersive mode.

I have found a solution to this problem.

It is called "Immersive Mode Forcer" xposed module.

STEPS

:

1) Download and install "Immersive Mode Forcer".

2) Select all apps.

3) Uncheck from WhatsApp.

All,

At first this is an awesome site to discuss and explore options and meet top people... recently I'm trying to get a 2nd line and trying to see the options which makes more sense both usage as well as cost effective.

I currently have at&t 8525 and upgraded with ultimate Schap's WM6 Pro 4.22 ROM, I highly recommend here is the link for http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=350690.

I'm planning on getting 2nd line the options I have looked is, chainging sims is out of option.

Option 1: Signup an additional line with at&t and put call forwarding to my current number, but the disadvantages are I'm sharing the same minutes and forwarding may add some more cost.

Option 2: can signup with viatalk/vonage voip providers and configure their settings on my phone with voip settings, but I'm not sure those setting will work on schap's rom and also I read somewhare these voip's does not work when you are on providers network like 3G etc.,

Option 3: Skype but it seems that I have to get skype-in and minutes to receive calls from outsiders and I have never used skype.

so what is the best options for me or anyone is trying some new ideas please share it with me.

thank you in advance...

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Misterjunky:
re: odin flash firmware

You need to decrypt your internal storage so

go into twrp and select "wipe" then select

"format data" and follow the prompt.

For best results you should also wipe system

and cache while you are in twrp recovery.

Once that's done you should be able to Odin

flash firmware without any issues or errors.

Just make 100% sure that the firmware you

want to odin flash is the proper firmware for

your phone.

Good luck, have a great day!

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b2rn:
Hey guys, I made an account.

So. I tried installing CM on my Kindle Fire HD 7" just now.

Basically how it went down is I got root via superSU, then went via FlashFire. For some reason only CM and superSU were installed, and opengapps wasn't.

So I decided to just redo the entire thing. Already had superSU working on CM, so I got FlashFire and just repeated all of the steps. Now, I also ticked "Wipe System Data" in the FlashFire "Wipe" step, which the thread (which I did not know about at the time, so I have that going for me) specifically says not to do. But I'm clever like that.

Anyway, afterwards I booted up to the wonderful AMAZON logo. I managed to get to an adb prompt via the 20+ power button thing, and then followed the recovery instructions from here:

Nevermind, can't post links since I'm a new user. Just Google for "reflective code installing cyanogenmod on amazon fire" if you're curious.

And uh, now the poor thing won't even start. Just a black screen with no LEDs blinking or nothing. I'm guessing the thing's just properly dead, now.

So, questions. Why is it actually broken this bad? As in, I know the steps I did were wrong (wipe system), but can anyone explain exactly why it got borked?

The adb command I used in the final step was just "adb sideload factory.img" and that should've been correct, no?

And second question. Anyone have experience reusing Kindle parts for other projects? Figured I might as well see whether I can salvage some of the parts for my RPi or something.

Also, I just ordered a 6", and I will probably try to install the same thing on it again. So expect another thread in a few days.

Cheers

I've heard a number of apps don't work on the Nokia N1, even on the version with the Google Play Store.

Among others, I've heard that Instagram, Twitter, and the Verizon FiOS apps don't work. Can anyone with the tablet please confirm if these apps work fully or not?

Thank you!

[Nokia N1] hasasimo:
Hi, thank you for your response. My question is, do more apps work with the Taiwanese, Google Play version of the N1 than with a rooted Chinese N1 with Google Play? Some people with rooted devices tell me apps like Instagram and Twitter aren't working. But some with non-rooted, unlocked Taiwanese versions tell me these apps are indeed working fine.

So, it seems there's a difference between a rooted N1 with Google Play and an unlocked Taiwanese version with Google Play services out-of-the-box. The latter seems to have much greater app compatibility. Is this correct?

Hello, recently I found out that my phone is crashing only when it is not on airplane mode. This happened after my alarm clock rang in the morning. My phone did not have this problem before (besides the Google Play Store crashing my phone if I stayed in it for more than 10 seconds). I tried to get into TWRP, but everytime I boot into recovery, it gives me the TWRP screen but crashes immediately after. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you.

[Fire General] n3kf:
This is very nice. Thanks. I notice that about half the time when I press the home button from an app, I am taken to the recent apps screen instead of the home screen. Sometimes it takes multiple presses to get to the home screen. Just a side effect or is it a bug? Thanks.
[Fire General] BeeWall:
It's probably a side effect.
[Fire General] BaronKiko:
I would call it a bug, it was present in the first version and as somebody in that thread mentioned turning animations off seems to make it more reliable but still not 100% (it works 9 times out of 10 for me with no animations). I could potentially make it more reliable by waiting longer before calling the launcher of choice but it would slow down every button press so I would rather not do so.
[Fire General] udegbunamchuks:
Thanks a lot man. It works on Fire 8 HD 2016
[Fire General] ttcontributor:
It's awesome to see V2 coming up! Just hope the 'recent' bug can be ironed out soon. Or is it possible to avoid that bug if rooted?
[Fire General] BeeWall:
I doubt it can be fixed. Since the app is rootless, it is rather limited. Disabling animations in Developer Options helps, but not completely.
[Fire General] ttcontributor:
Yes, you are right though I tried that Animations scale, it doesn't fix the 'recent' menu issue.

What I can do currently is to root the device and set up Xposed with GravityBox module; then enable another Custom navigation to launch another launcher.

[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
So I decided to unhide Fire Launcher and uninstall it, seeing as I had a pretty old version now installed. I was just tired of knowing it was there...lurking somewhere...hiding. lmao

adb shell pm unhide com.amazon.firelauncher

Well wouldn't you know it, surprise... the home button still works. However you still get the annoying flash or sometimes kicked to lock screen from swiping apps using the recent button (square button).

Ok ready? Home button fix for those of you who who didn't uninstall Fire Launcher but want to. Make sure to have Nova Launcher installed before going any further!

1) Go here and download the Fire Launcher APK and place it into your ADB folder.

2) Open ADB and type:

abd root
adb install -r -d com.amazon.firelauncher.apk

This allows Fire Launcher to be replaced (-r) and allows it to be downgraded (-d). A few lines should come up the last being 'Success.' If so, see below.

3) Open settings > Apps and games > Manage All Apps > Swipe to All Apps > Scroll to Fire Launcher > Check Version (Should be 1.0.1004.0_31971000). If so, proceed to step 4.

4) Now you can uninstall it:

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.firelauncher

If you have a 3rd party app to clean cache, run it. Reboot into recovery using ADB and wipe the cache ONLY, then reboot:

adb reboot recovery

Once powered back on, open an app. Tap home button. You're welcome.

EDIT: You still get kicked to lock screen or black screened when swiping closed apps using recent apps button (square button). Please see link below for a fix, a cheesy one, but a fix it is.

EDIT: If this doesn't work, you may need to hide Fire Launcher BEFORE downgrading it to the older version.
[Fire General] parrotgeek1:
if you hide all of the packages with parental in the ID it will stop that
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
If you downgrade fire launcher then uninstall it, you avoid it altogether. Home Button works too. Just have to figure out a way to replace the recents button with 'app switcher' from the System UI to avoid the kick to lock screen from swiping apps. Multi Home Button would be perfect, if you could add shortcuts in addition to apps.
[Fire General] savvytechwinner:
I am on 5.3.2.1. Also can confirm your method works and OTA updates don't work! I am on 5.3.2.1 and I will stay! mwaaa haa haaa

But do you want me to pull the files still? Also 5.4 CAN downgrade to 5.3.2.1, though there is no known benifit
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
I'm looking for APKs preferably from a FireOS just before 5.3.2.1. That Fire Launcher APK I think was from 5.1.2? I'd have to go back and look. If we can do that with fire launcher, might be able to do it with other system APKs. Just need to make sure they're genuine as in not tampered with internally, whether good intentions or not. The idea would be to use APKs from a rootable version of fireOS and downgrade as many APKs as possible using the method with fire launcher and maybe get root that way.
[Fire General] DB126:
FireOS 5.3.2 (unrootable/downgradable to 5.3.1) was the immediate predecessor to 5.3.2.1. Then 5.3.1 (rootable) which superseded 5.1.4. There was rumor of a 5.2.x series but I don't believe it made it to any 5th gen devices.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
I'd be most interested in APKs from 5.3.1 then. I still haven't looked to see what OS version that fire launcher APK was from.
[Fire General] savvytechwinner:
The only way(s) to get root access is using a privledge exploit and copy the su binary or by exploiting an app to the /system that will 'extract' the SU binary to the correct location. That said - there is virtully no change of the succseding as it is little no not possible to forge a signiture.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
Not talking about faking a signature. Hence why I want direct copies of these APKs from the last rootable FireOS version. If and it's a big if, any more system apps can be downgraded like Fire Launcher, it's possible others can be too. And it just might be by chance, by doing that, we could get root via Kingroot or what not. But if any of the APKs are modified, you're right. They won't work because the signature is destroyed.
[Fire General] savvytechwinner:
Apk's have nothing to do with the root proccess? Proof? Uninstall every apk you can think in the system and WOAH! Suprise Suprise! It still failed XD. My point is the kernel and sub-files ,etc are what are fixing the exploits and causing them to work. I'll spend a bit of my time looking for exploits and testing them out - I'll let everyone know if I manage to get a root shell (no likely, easier hoped than said)
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
I'm just saying. And we aren't uninstalling them. Just disabling them. So they're still there, still being read. Still being detected. It's worth a shot though. Downgrading them is overwriting the ones there already. Proof is with fire launcher. So I ask for those APKs again please :)
[Fire General] savvytechwinner:
Downgrade to 5.3.2.1 and you can pull them yourself. Also block OTA and you won't get updated back to 5.4.

http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Amazon Fire 5th gen/Firmware dowload the right file and adb sideload it

DON'T DOWNLOAD THE 5.3.1 DOWNLOAD THE 5.3.2.1
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
I was just speaking in general. Not asking you too. Besides I am looking for ones from older than 5.3.2.1 if possible.
[Fire General] savvytechwinner:
You do realize that when you do the install -r -d etc you aren't actully touching the apk in the system just adding that 'update' into the data that is read and writable. That is why Google Play and stuff can update system apps.

For example - on a stock tablet when you update Google (btw it in the /system) it doesn't stay updated when you do a factory reset

Just letting you know there is no chance of gaining root by reinstalling a forged apk
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
I'm not sure where you see "forged" APK. I've stated several times I need/want direct copies of them. I also said they can't be tampered with or modified in any capacity.

In terms of a reset, that depends how it's done and on what type of device. My phone for example. If you do a reset through settings or recovery, anything that is or was put into system stays as is. If you flash firmware to the device, it's truly reset to that firmware and everything you put into system is gone. Aka you start over.
[Fire General] DB126:
Yep - said something similar a handful of posts back; still operating in serendipity happens mode.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
You've also said it would represent a big flaw if it were possible. But that's ok. I give up. I've been doubted over and over, yet somehow we've managed to do exactly what several of you said we wouldn't be able to do. So I'll just shut my mouth and let those things that can't happen, happen.
[Fire General] DB126:
Not exactly true. The things you have accomplished do not violate Android's security model. Most are visability anomalies or soft access work arounds. There's a big difference.
