this is great news :) been trying to get this working on my S7 active ! tried boot.prop changes but no different

as its just software stopping it working, as hardware is pretty much identical ..

did try from here https://xdaforums.com/mobile-vr/gear-vr/port-gear-vr-software-to-android-device-t3540402

but couldnt get it to copy properly, so wouldnt work ..

once rooted, is it just a case of coping over, can this be done via say ES.Explorer ? ..

does this then enable the auto detection when pluging in ? and the touch pad and buttons too ? ..

If you just copy and paste the folders inside the priv app folder think there's like 7 it will be just fine if you copy the priv app folder it might not merge and just replace. I had to factory reset for the apps to get all the correct permissions not sure why.

Buttons worker don't remember if it auto started

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a1exus:
I just got OTA (build: N2G47H, size: 25.4MB) and then another one right after (build: NPG471, size: 1313.6MB), both Android 7.1.2

What's the difference?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] no44specialk:
Same here, I wonder if it's a screw up. The recent articles that I've read said the beta participants should only be getting a small update to the finalized version...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzyager:
NPG47I is the beta for 7.1.2, whereas N2G47H is the official build. Odd? Very (at least I think it's odd!). Unfortunately, this apparently means we'll have the notification to install the beta sitting there indefinitely.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a1exus:
NPG471 - beta w/ March (yes beta notification)

N2G47H - final w/ April 5, 2017 (no beta notification)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] no44specialk:
Downloaded and installed N2G47H. Then was instantly prompted to download the beta again... Naturally I don't want to install that so I'll be curious how it plays out (issues etc) I'm bone stock etc.

EDIT: Came back to say if you unenroll from the beta program once updated to the stable version, the notification will go away.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceramista:
Happened to me also. I just unenrolled from beta program and message to update beta version dissapeared.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleeves007:
So, do we wait to enroll into the beta program when a new beta is released, possibly O
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a1exus:
I'm using build: N2G47H and I did *NOT* unrolled from beta, yet *NO* notification (as this is final build).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murso74:
How do you unenroll?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a1exus:
Same way as you enrolled at the first place, go to Google's site and hit unenroll.

Persistent notification was there while i remained on the stable 7.1.2. disappeared today, must have been a Google side issue.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] anotherxdauser:
So. I have a problem that's developed over the last couple days.

I have all my contacts in Outlook.com. I added my account through the Outlook app and can see all my contacts through the app.

I have set the Contacts app to display contacts ONLY from the Outlook account but when returning to the app, it displays none.

I've checked by also asking the Contacts app to display ONLY contacts from WhatsApp. Although I don't have any stored, I thought it might show contacts from the app anyway. But none.

Tried the same with Messenger, but no Facebook contacts display.

Tried deleting Outlook app and reinstalling but no change. It worked until the last OTA update a few days ago.

Any ideas?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] anotherxdauser:
Turns out in order to sync properly, you have to turn it on in the Outlook app.

Open Outlook app

Click on Settings (the cog)

Click on the name of the account

Click the "sync contacts" toggle

I managed to find an app to change the resolution Easy DPI Changer works great.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chornerman.easydpichanger&hl=en

However even at 1080P Youtube Videos play at low resolution. You manually have to check HQ to get them to play at better resolution. Does anyone know how to force Remix OS to play all Youtube videos in HQ?

I can only assume that Netflix videos will also play in low resolution. I haven't tried Netflix yet.
[Remix OS for PC] Vioner:
As far as I know this depends on the app settings or internet speed.

YouTube app should play videos in highest available resolution depending on internet speed.

[Remix OS for PC] saulin78:
Not so sure about that. I have 60Mbit/s download and 10Mbit/s Upload and my Nvidia Shield Android TV always plays everything in HQ but on Remix OS I have to manually click the HQ icon
[Remix OS for PC] Vioner:
I understand. I don't know how the YouTube app decides on the default quality, but it looks like it depends on the hardware.

Most likely it doesn't have your GPU/CPU on it's "list of 720/1080p fully capable hardware" and that's why it doesn't automatically pick the highest resolution.

Still... it's just my deduction.

Easiest way to enforce YouTube behaviour from Nvidia Shield would be to fake your Remix OS hardware info by changing GPU/CPU info with the NVIDIA Shield (or some other hardware running Android officially) info. It should be possible just like setting fake GPS fix.
[Remix OS for PC] saulin78:
I'm using a Laptop with an I5 3320m processor, it uses the Intel HD Graphics 4000. I believe this can handle 1080p Youtube in Windows.

Anyways I added some tweaks to my build.prop and at 1080p it stutters too much. I dropped the resolution to 1366x768 since I'm using a 32" TV and it handles 720P pretty good now but struggles with 720p at 60 fps in Youtube.

But now Youtube atomatically chooses resolution up to 720p 60 fps with the modifications to the build.prop

Does Remix OS has good Intel drivers? Anyway to update them if there are better drivers out there?
[Remix OS for PC] Vioner:
Have you checked if this laptop can view 1080p videos on Windows?

I don't think you'd be able to view them fluidly on this machine - not from YouTube.

Jide focused on trying to provide best Intel GPU drivers and I think your HD 4000 won't work any better.

You could update drivers, but that would require building your own kernel which is a pain, because Jide posted no documentation on how this should be done. Additionally their kernel source repository gives errors on build trials...

All in all, know that on Remix OS YouTube videos will play best in the YT app. In browsers they usually have worse framerate.

[Remix OS for PC] saulin78:
Ok I just tested YouTube on a external monitor in Windows with resolution at 1920x1080.

I tried playing some trailers tagged 1080p 60fps which really lag on Remix OS. For some reason the video only goes to 720P when playing in Windows but it plays smooth.

On Remix OS when the same video plays it's tagged as 720P 60fps and it lags, the video/audio is choppy at times.

This is the video I tested

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeK-d553Mjk

I also tested it in Windows on another Laptop that has a i5 4300U with an Intel HD graphics 4400 GPU

and on this one it lets me pick 1080P 60fps in Chrome and it plays smooth. I think on the other laptop it only went to 720P because I was using IE

**Edit**

Ok I installed Chrome on the other Laptop and in Windows it seems to lag a little in 720p 60fps and 1080p 60fps, not as much as in Remix OS but there is some lag every few seconds.

The i5 4300U with an Intel HD graphics 4400 GPU does not seem to have this issue. I guess YouTube 720p60 and 1080p60 are demanding and the HD graphics 4400 GPU does a better job

I did one more test.

In Chrome I went to chrome://flags

and disabled Hardware-accelerated video decode and now YouTube 1080p60 videos seem to play smooth on the i5 3320 with the Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics card since it's using the CPU for hardware acceleration now

Does anyone know how to make Remix OS use the CPU and not the GPU for hardware acceleration? This probably will fix the stutter in YouTube.
[Remix OS for PC] Vioner:
[MENTION=6908465]saulin78[/MENTION]

As far as I know it's not possible to set Software Renderer on a per app basis. The app either has to have special codecs like MX Player has (HW/SW mode) or you need to boot the whole system in SW or HW mode.

For YouTube or Chrome apps on Android HW/SW switching is NOT possible.

You can try booting Remix OS in full SW rendering mode - CPU will handle all graphics.

This mode usually provides much worse overall performance which is self-explanatory.

From experience I know in this mode even high end CPU's can't handle high res video playback.

To test, you need to boot the OS with special kernel parameter in grub boot menu:

androidboot.swrast=1

Here is the info on how to apply the parameter: Guide

[MENTION=4666322]Vioner[/MENTION]

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually ended up tweaking my build.prop with suggested settings from other forums and this one and still the YouTube app struggles with 720p60, the video is not choppy anymore but the sound cuts in/out, however the videos play smooth using the Chrome Browser and the sound is fine there so I'll just use that :)
[Remix OS for PC] Vioner:
Chrome browser for Android is simply much different from the Windows/Linux one and it can't provide the same performance.

I'm glad you reached a somewhat acceptable scenario.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:
Hey all! My friend has an s3. He is in a different state so I can't experiment on it quite yet.

He has a lot of files he needs to recover from the internal storage. He already has the sd data.

The issue is that the phone will not fully boot. It gets a little past the verizon logo and crashes.

He has tried wiping cache, and booting without the sdcard in.

What can we do to get those files for him?

Verizon said they can't use their diag machine since the device needs to fully power on for them to service it in that fashion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:
Is it possible to flash the stock system partition without overwriting data via Odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:
Bump
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Really kind of a tough situation.

Can he get into recovery mode? If so maybe he can pull data from it that way. There's a few ways to do it. It's hard to tell unless I see what the phone does when it boots.

Sorry for the late reply, hardly ever check these forums anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:
I know he can get to stock recovery, because he's wiped cache that way. I don't believe that he is rooted or anything. I won't know for sure until I'm in person. The issue is that he thinks Verizon wants him to send the phone to them. He used a free upgrade. They sent him the replacement phone with a return box, so he's still not sure at the moment. And I haven't used an upgrade in about 4 years so I don't remember ever having to give back a device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
If he has USB debugging enabled be can use ADB to pull the SD card folder onto his computer in recovery mode.

Otherwise can't do much with stock recovery, if he's rooted you may be able to load TWRP from download mode and boot immediately into recovery mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:
He's got the SD data. We're working on the /data/ partition now. I think it's mainly notes and pics if I'm not mistaken. I'm really hoping that he's rooted and just forgot or something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:
We can make it into odin mode.

---------- Post added at 06:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 AM ----------

I can probably help you out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:
I'm thinking of trying to flash stock via Odin to see if that will make it boot. Otherwise, it may have to go jtag route.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:
I am going to attempt to ODIN on it. Unfortunately I don't know what version of android he was on.

Which ODIN files would you recommend? Preferably one that won't need me to wipe the data partition. Also, please provide links if possible. I have found some stuff on my own, but a lot of links are dead.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Odin will wipe everything. Every .tar file I've come across essentially just return the phone to a completely stock state.

Wish I had old stuff but I don't. What have you found?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:
Ah, I had found one that said it wasn't​ going to wipe data. I'll try to find the link again today. They were saying it was like doing an ota update and it would leave data in place.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
O wait I think I vaguely remember, but that we when the bootloader was unlocked, like 5 years ago.

Make sure you post the for here and I can try to help you, but if it's an older version it won't. You need to make sure the Odin file is the same or newer than your current bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:
[MENTION=5181150]BadUsername[/MENTION] I found this, which has the crappiest hosting servers I have ever seen. You can only download one file a day, so I need to keep changing my IP if I need more than one file from it. here

This is the no-wipe file i was referring to. I am just not sure if it is an android version that his device will accept. I am not sure if Odin allows you to go forward and backward. Here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Just open up download mode and post what it says in the top left corner.

Also that file you posted first is the newest one, assuming it's legit it would work. That would for sure wipe everything.

Bottom one is old, probably won't work. Odin should just fail and not let you flash it. If it did work, it would fail at the bootloader stage and brick your phone anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:
That's what I was afraid of. I have no idea how updated he kept the device. And since I can only get into stock recovery and download mode I can't learn much about the device. I wish I could just adb in and grab the data partition off of it. Verizon is hounding him to send the device back or they will charge him $500 or something absurd. Which seems extra crazy since he has had that device since it was released. I thought for sure he would own it by now. Verizon has never asked me for a device back.

Have you found any helpful odin stuff out?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:
I won't be able to see the device until tonight. I will try to see if he is around the device now so he can let me know. His house has terrible reception and no wifi so I am trying to gather everything before the next time I go there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:
[MENTION=5181150]BadUsername[/MENTION] Do you know if there is a list of odin files anywhere? This sub seems so disorganized imo. I can't find a helpful sticky or anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
You can still pull nearly everything off the phone with adb from download mode if USB debugging was enabled, you can literally pull every partition and extract what you need.

You can load a very old version of cwm recovery through Odin and flash aroma file manager if you are rooted, if you can get into recovery. Then you can move whatever you want to an external SD card.

Other than that you're likely stuck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:
Unfortunately I don't think the phone was ever rooted. I am unsure if USB debugging was ever turned on either. I'll download adb to take with me just in case. It was my plan to bring my laptop (which already has adb) to attempt anything through adb pull, along with downloading odin files to try as well. I downloaded the latest one from that first link. I'll try the no-wipe option. If I can at least get it to boot, then I can run a file recovery on it at least. Seeing as how it doesn't even boot at the moment I am comfortable with at least getting it to boot even if that means wiping data, at least that way I could access that partition. In the current situation I am still figuring out how to gain access.

Thanks for all the help, by the way. Helps to ideate out loud.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Ya there's guides everywhere, sticky is in development section.

It's all old though, everything is probably broken, but you might get lucky with some of the links.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:
I only found the video guides the last time I searched. I'll check the dev section now! Thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:
Alright, this is as much info as I've gotten from him now. At least it's something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
That's recovery, boot into download mode and try another picture.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:
I know it's recovery. Odin didn't show anything in it. Unless he wasn't following my instructions this is all he got out of it. I'm not at the device and he isn't familiar with technology at all.

He said the top of the screen doesn't say anything at all.

This doesn't appear to be the right screen, but it's hard to manage without the device in hand.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Still recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:
Lol I figured it wasn't the right screen. I'm sending him more thorough instructions now. One moment please
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Looks like he's on newest version though, which means you can't flash that no wipe version you were looking at
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:
I'll look for the latest stock firmware just to be safe I guess
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tr4nqui1i7y:

So I am enrolled in android beta program. I was running latest version of 7.1.2 beta. I turned on phone today and had notification that the 7.1.2 N2G47H stable version was available, so I downloaded and installed. Once it installed and rebooted I received notification that 7.1.2 beta version NPG47I is available for download. Downloaded and installed and when rebooted, it told me that 7.1.2 N2G47H is available for download. This update loop is continuous, if I download one then I am notified the other is available, over and over again. Please help. What do I do? Should I just download beta NPG47I and ignore N2G47H stable update, since it looks like beta version is newer release? Unfortunately either way I am still going to have persistent notification of an update available.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceramista:
Unenroll from the beta program.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peklucher:
If I unenroll from beta program , it will completely wipe my phone right?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleeves007:
Got this issue as well, surely it should remain on the stable till the next beta, possibly O and not notify about an old beta. Never happened before. Unenrolling from the beta means a factory reset? Must be a universal problem.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
Same problem here

When do you stop and just ignore the update
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beko1987:
I came on here to find out if it was just me having this issue! I've done the pair 3 times now just in case, so now I've installed the massive update, then the smaller one and am just going to leave it and ignore the update available notification!

Not quite up for a factory reset, they'll notice soon enough and sort it out!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
I got the small update first

Should I stop after that or after the large one?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beko1987:
I've pushed so many buttons since starting I had to think, and your right, the small update came first (25mb) then the large (1.3gb) one...

It's currently asking me to install the large one (NGP47I) again. Might let it do that, then at least it's had the pair and Google can kill the request when they wake up to hopefully lots of notifications and bug reports about it in the morning!

Although I'm not sure what overwrites what... I presume the NGP47I is the big update, then the small one is just a mop up?

Currently looking in the custom rom section though, that always leads to me wanting to customise it and leave the stock ecosystem...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murso74:
Same issue there. I may unenroll anyway, since my phone has been laggy as hell recently.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
Large update = March security patch

Small update = April security patch / N2G47H is newer
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
NPG47I is beta 2 and N2G47H is stable. There is not a newer beta, just the timestamp. Un-enrolling from the beta program will not wipe your phone. They will "eventually" send down an downgrade 7.1.1 OTA that you can flash if you decide to... or not. Nothing happens to wipe your phone in the background unless you decide to flash the downgrade OTA. If you are unlocked just flash the full stable image from Google. If you do this, you will not get any more notifications. If you are not unlocked and doomed to only OTA's, then unenroll and leave it on N2G47H until the May security update in 2.5 weeks. You can also try turning off "Automatic system updates" in dev settings but some ppl report mixed results.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peklucher:
So I installed stable version of 7.1.2 and unenrolled my phone from the beta program. Shut down and restarted phone and now all is right in the world. No more loop or persistent notification, and nothing got wiped. Sucks not being in the beta but I guess I can wait until the next beta release and re-enroll myself.
