[Google Chromecast] jlongman:
Hey! tell me more about 3, I was looking to have a Raspberry Pi act as a go-between to simulate CEC with a non-CEC TV by receiving my remotes IR codes and sending either CEC codes to the ChromeCast or using the CC API to pause/stop play - but only reverse engineered versions are available on Pi.

The Pi has built-in CEC support so you can use `apt-get install cec-tools` and then play with the `cec-client` to do some interesting stuff. The ChromeCast in my case has an invalid address so I don't seem to be able to activate pause play. (I see a logical address of 4 but also an address of `f.f.f.f`, ie invalid).

Anyways, it may be worth playing with a Pi and seeing if HDMI-CEC will do what you want, and then seeing if you can get a CEC library for android and just recreate the Pi work. Less hoops to jump around.

I don't know enough about the Android side. The CC API has an Android implementation so I would think you'd be able to do everything you want, iff it does the switching. I've done very little development on Android (a meteor app and an Android native camera library work), unfortunately. (If the Pine64 supports CEC I may end up going down this route).

I've posted more about my interest here: on reddit /r/Chromecast/comments/5znpuk/i_want_to_use_a_raspberry_pi_to_control_the/
[Google Chromecast] caffeinatedmike:
Here's the link to Android's documentation for the HDMI-CEC Control Service. But, like I said it's been locked down and only allows system-level access now.

I don't have any Pi at my disposal (plus my Android Box also has built-in CEC-capability/functionality) and since my situation doesn't actually involve chromecast I never thought to look at their api/sdk. But, I was able to finally solve my problem with a painfully simple, yet not that intuitive or logical method. The way my box's os/firmware appears to work is by firing the cec signal to switch inputs only on its boot_complete and wake_from_standby procedures. My solution just simulates pressing the Standby button twice in a row via Shell command (with Root option checked) from within Tasker. Logically, I thought after the first press the box wouldn't respond to the second press due to already being in standby mode (because of the first button press). But, it turns out both simulated presses occur (maybe keyevents are queue?), allowing me to put the box in standby momentarily and immediately bring it out of standby, which triggers the wake_from_standby procedure and in turn causes the input to switch (or my tv to turn on then input to switch).
[Google Chromecast] jlongman:
My thought with the Pi and CC API was that you would use the PI to monitor the HDMI-CEC bus as the output is controlled by the CC - assuming it switches the input to itself but my TV doesn't support HDMI so maybe that's a bad assumption - and then use that knowledge to replay using the Android HDMI-CEC API. And not understanding what you meant by the API being locked down. That kind of sucks - I was hoping Android would be another bridge platform if the Pi failed me.

Well congrats on a working solution. Cheers!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatingFTTCN:
Android noob here. I've been trying to figure this one out for weeks now.

Ultimate goal: hide lock icon and "swipe to unlock" status text.

Restrictions: I need to keep my phone lockable. I use a passcode.

Specs: SM-G920I

Progress: I've rooted and installed wanam xposed. Tried Clean Lockscreen (1.8) module but it could only remove the status text.

Possible solutions: creating a custom theme?

To get rid of the padlock icon, you need to turn off Trusted Places via Smart Lock.

Option should be the last one under Security in Settings..... Hope that helps!!!!
[Samsung Gear S2] Pixelloni:
Hello,

As it reads in the title I have the Samsung Galaxy SM-G900F with LineageOS 14.1 on it. And I'm trying to pair it with my new Gear Fit 2. I wasn't able to start the Gear Manager App from the PlayStore because of my OS so I edited the build.prop file in my system folder. That helped, but afterwards the Gear Manager App wanted to download the "Gear Fit 2 Plugin" App from the PlayStore which was "not compatible with my device" for some reason. The same thing happened with the Samsung Accessory Manager.

So I downloaded the gear manager stub, as well as Samsung Accessory Manager and Gear Fit Plugin from some link I found on this forum. Now when I try to connect my Gear Fit 2, the Samsung Accessory Manager shuts down and it just trys to connect but it's getting nowhere. I'm so frustrated right now. I even started thinking about switching back to stock firmware on my S5. But I definitely don't want to do that.

Can someone here please help me by explaining what Apps I have to install in what order to get this going? I would be very thankful for the links to those Apps, too.

Thanks,

Pixelloni

By looking at the results, seems to be an issue with all brands of rooted devices having issues with Gear Manager.

hi i have a kindle fire 7hd older generation(not 2015), so it wont turn on When i press the power button for a long period then press it again, a screen would come up that says FASTBOOT, now i know a bit about Adb and fastboot mode and i think these modes Might save my tablet.....BUT the fastboot Screen would only be on for a 1 or 2sec then it turns it self off

fastboot Devices command wont even list it? and of course neither does ADB devices

How can i get to Fastboot mode? and stay in it

thank you.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kate750:
Ok, first of all apologies if this is already answered somewhere, I have looked and worked my way through the beginner stuff but haven't been able to figure out exactly what I need to do.

I have just bought a 5th generation 7" Amazon Fire tablet and I wanted to set it up for my kids. I have a number of apps I've purchased on Google Play and I've got a number of films in .mp4 format that I want to have on the tablet for my kids.

So how do I make this happen? I fumbled my way through getting Google Play onto the tablet and its up and working, but only on an adult profile. Ditto for video files. The apps and video files just aren't visible to then select to add to the child profile.

How do I access apps from Google Play and media files etc in the child profiles?

Now I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to have to go down the root route but the reading I've been doing on here are all dated five years ago or so, I'm guessing things have changed!

Could someone point me either towards a straight solution or an idiots guide to rooting for a 5th generation 7" Fire tablet please? Also, once the rooting has taken place what exactly do I need to do to get up and running?

Thank you in advance!!

[Remix OS for PC] jaibubwan:
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64 Bit

Motherboard: MSI Z97-X-Power AC

BIOS: UEFI

Secure Boot: OFF

Remix OS ISO: Remix_OS_for_PC_Android_M_64bit_B2016101201

Remix OS install tool: Remix_OS_for_PC_Installation_Tool-B2016080802

I am having trouble installing Remix OS on my MSI PC.

Every time I attempt to install Remix OS on my PC using the install tool, it ends with "Installation Failed" error. The install tool seems to successfully copy files to the specified partition. But the problem seems to occur when it attempts to install the bootloader.

I mounted the boot partition & checked it. In all my attempts at running the install tool, it never adds anything to the boot drive.

Please note, I am using a fresh installation of Windows 8.1. There are no security programs installed. Windows Defender is disabled. I have attempted installation using the built-in Administrator account, so there should be no permissions issues.

Can anyone tell me how to manually add the GRUB bootloader manually? I want to achieve what I have with my laptop (GRUB displaying "Windows/Remix OS"...and then Windows Boot Manager loads).

Bro, Tempered Glasses don't work like that. Last week i dropped my max just from above a feet. Since it fell by corner it popped out of frame i pushed it back. Got a little dent on corner and i don't had glass or cover. I ordered a metal cover which i will receive by the week. I will test that and put a review on accessories section. Tempered glass don't provide protection from dropping ur phone. I would recommend you case over glass since they only provide screen protection not 360 protection.

[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] StonebridgeGr:
you are wrong, tempered glass can protect a phone from fall, i had a s6 and a good tempered glass, i drop it many many times down with the screen by my fault and nothing happened!! believe me!!
[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] sarthakwarlock:
U talking about Samsung Galaxy S6??

I believe you. They can protect some devices but not all. samsung s6 body is made of gorilla glass 4 (front and back panel). I guess that G Glass 4 is the most latest by corning. How strong is it you can see demo on YT. Even if you don't had glass on it. Normally It wasn't going to break. Although sometimes it's glass get crack if you drop it without case or screen guard.

On other hand we have Mi Max which got a metal body. It's weight is 203g and have massive screen. S6 weight only 138grams. I am saying if it falls to floor by it's back/front panel, There's no prob but if it falls by corner then you have to worry about it.

Also i have experienced that devices with a plastic body don't break easily and metal devices get dents sometimes if they fall by corners. So the only damage i m talking about metal device is DENTS. If you drop it from ur pocket it's more likely going to be a side drop (it can fall by corner). Side drop will more likely results ina dent and i don't think a galas will protect from side drops. Glass is grt for screen protection.

At the end choice is yours!! choose wisely :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] ptr21:
Had my Mi Max screen broken. 50 cm flight right to the stone parquet. The corners are weak spots. So, if you have screen protector not covering the ends, glass is not protected. Nothing helps, ok maybe some ugly case.

About metal unibody... good commercial. I have reassmbled Mi Max for few times. No metal in there.
[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] StonebridgeGr:
Suggest me good tempered glass and a good case that can handle this cases.. but not a case like the above's guy..
[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] ptr21:
I wish I could help. I have read several forums about screen protecting but sadly there is no solution because Mi Max has 2,5D edges.

About case: i have used Nillkin hard plastic transparent cover. Looks solid, edges over the corners. Havent dropped yet, but I truely believe, that it minimizes the risk.
[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] StonebridgeGr:

Have you wondered about ChromeOS and all these new Chromebooks out? Want to see if it can handle your day to day needs? Well if you have an old PC/laptop you can run CloudReady, which is based on ChromiumOS for free off of a usb memory stick. If you decide you want to use it as your daily, it allows you to install it from there. It is great at bringing and older device that can hardly run windows back to life.
