if you have installed kingroot, IT IS STILL ON YOUR SYSTEM

Even though you think you deleted it, its not. It codes itself a custom recovery method for each system. So while you think its gone the rootkit remains. It starts out in data/tmp the spoofs randomly from there.

But just ignore my warnings about not installing kingroot nor installing this on the exact variant.

This is the exact reason i am considering shutting down the project. No one heeds the warning, then complain when they brick their system. Tired of pm's with broken systems...No donations coming in....
[Android Head-Units] ikuznets222:
Could depend on which version of KingRoot was used. I used the latest two: 5.2.2 first, and on my second attempt: 5.3. Both claimed they failed but it still allowed me to open a rooted terminal session. After that I opened KingRoot app and uninstalled it cleanly from there. My /data/tmp is empty and there are no processes containing "king". While KingRoot was active it didn't allow me to uninstall through:

am kill com.kingroot.master

pm uninstall com.kingroot.master

No complaints, I know perfectly that I can break the device doing it and of course, I have taken it before doing anything. I must say that I do not intend to go further, in my case, I just want root to be able to enable the different themes and correct the translations of the apps.

Please Help! I wiped my internal storage along with system. basically a full wipe. after I tried to flash a custrom rom using cwrp and it failed. then I tried to flash the stock rom and that failed as well. What do I do
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] aalxx:
This is a trend I'm not very fond of and I was interested to know what everyone else thinks. Would you consider yourself more or less likely to buy a phone with a rounded display like the S8 and G6?

Personally I have a couple of problems with this design decision on this phone in particular (from what I can see). First, it looks like a gimmick you'll get sick of in a week at most. Second, the display curve is different from the curve of the phone itself and that irritates me. Third, I prefer watching videos without those rounded corners.

But I'm interested to see what others think about it and I'm willing to change my mind, please make your argument below.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
I think the rounded screen matches the outside rounded corners perfectly, i like the way it looks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dakalter:
From what both lg and Samsung has said it also helps with screen strength. Dropping your phone on a rounded corner will cause less damage to the actual screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] aalxx:
Aren't AMOLED screens glued to the glass? If the glass breaks I don't think you can salvage the display but they've probably changed that. Anyway, from a purely design perspective, what do you think of it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
LG's display has truly rounded corners. Samsung's is square with the colored (black) overly creating a rounded corner affect. Reviewers have complained about LG's approach because it leaves visible jaggies in the corners.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] aalxx:
Well that solves my problem then. If its an overlay then there will be a way to disable it in the settings or with root or with a custom rom or Xposed
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
It's a physical overlay.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] aalxx:
Well ****. Wonder if repair shops are going to offer modifying it for a price.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gachiennuocmam:
Issue?

Does anybody suffer this issue? The corners of the display exhibit awkwardly. When i know it is there then it is unable to look away. :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The Root:
Can you be more specific? I'm not sure what I'm looking for.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gachiennuocmam:
The curved corners of the s8's display is jaggy just like the lg g6's display. You will notice it really easy in real life.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] deathst:
The display looks rounded from the ifixit teardown..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
I've been reading a lot of various threads on the latest phones, trying to decide on my next phone.

What appears to be emerging is a theme of problems with Nougat. Seems many folks that get upgraded to Nougat experience worse battery, and worse blue tooth. Maybe some other issues as well.

I've been writing off the phones as bad hardware or bad vendor changes to the phone. But seeing the trend noted above, maybe it's not the phone's problem, but Nougat.

What do you think?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ant17:
I have a ftv rooted with version 51.1.4.0, but am unable to update kodi beyond 16.1

All the attempts fail and some have said an OS update is needed to do that upgrade of KODI 17.

I also cannot install SPMC, also fails using abdfire.

any ideas?

tia
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
SPMC should work. Last I checked it was still mostly based on Kodi v16.1. Install AppStarter & try to install SPMC from there. Or from Downloader thru FireTVGuru.net.

I would recommend you research the upgrade process & once you understand it & have meet all requirements. Make it so.

Right now upgrading from FireOS 3 might be a bit complicated since an update cycle just started today. And there is no PreRooted ROM for the latest yet. You will need to make sure you TWRP block updates using the 5th method if you upgrade to the current PreRooted ROM.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Axecaster:
Is it advised to move up to the most current prerooted FireOS 5 when it becomes available? I have a gen1 box on the last prerooted FireOS 3, and a prerooted gen 1 stick. Is holding either of these back on 5.0.5 a good idea? I suspect the new interface updates will include some amount of performance penalty.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
The update to FireOS 5 is mostly recommended for App comparability. More & more apps in the PlayStore & Amazon have lollipop as the starting point.

I did learn to live with the no Home button detection for AppStarter. I still use AppStarter 90% of the time. I just keep AppStarter as the only app in recent. So it has just added a couple of presses to what I was use to with FireStarter. But if the HOME button detection is a huge deal for you. You should stay there.

As for the updates. I have not seen any performance hits. The only major problem might be bugs. But the tier rollout of the update usually takes care of that. I tried the new UI on a couple of FTVS2's & they weren't laggy at all. I usually find the latest FW to be as fast or faster of prior onces. But that might be because I prefer to do clean installs when upgrading FW. Specially on an update as big as the one that just started to rollout. The new update includes more stuff but luckily it comes with options to turn some of that stuff off.

We can also always downgrade PreRooted Rom's. So it's fine to take things for a spin. As long as you have a good install of TRWP. There shouldn't be a problem. Other the user error or power outage.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ant17:
I wouldn't care about the KODI update, but a message from tv addons says streams are more often using the https: for shows and 16.1 doesn't support that.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ant17:
Is there a OS prerooted 5 out? I have 2 FTV boxes rooted that won't take spmc or 17.1 kodi.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Yes, but which version are they. So I can give you the right guide link. FTV1 or FTV2 ?

It all starts with the recovery...

(Make sure you install the right version 7 (aka v3.0.0-7) of TWRP depending on your locked or unlocked bootloader on FTV1's)

FTV1: http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-install-twrp-custom-recovery-on-a-rooted-fire-tv-1/

FTV2: http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-install-twrp-custom-recovery-on-a-rooted-fire-tv-2/

http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-root...covery-and-a-pre-rooted-rom-all-without-a-pc/

FTVS1: http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-inst...d-an-initial-rom-on-a-rooted-fire-tv-stick-1/

Just make sure you follow the requirements. A good install of TWRP is key.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ant17:
I think they're ver. 2 but unknown OS.

One is 51. 1. 1. 0, the other is 51. 1. 4. 0 Both are rooted.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
v2 AFTV's are the only current devices with both a USB & SDCard slot. So easy to tell. As for OS there are only two types. Either Amazon Original ROM or RBox's PreRooted ROM. Both would show same version numbers in System/About info menu.

Since you say they are Rooted. Then u very likely have a PreRooted ROM install. And when using Apps that use root it will ask you for permission the first time that App or option runs. Like in the case of ES File Explorer Root option. If you had already given it permission then you would see a notification letting you know Root access has been activated/granted to ES File Explorer.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ant17:
OK, been a long time since I rooted these so I'm assuming its a pre-rooted rom. Both boxes have just the usb and no sd slot.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Then you have FTV1's like I do. Go thru the requirements check list from the FTV1 TWRP guide I linked above. And make sure you understand what you are doing before updating. I usually keep everything. Files, APK's, Rom's in a USB to flash & install & I verify MD5 hash's to make sure I copied the files correctly. Specially the recovery/TWRP file & PreRooted ROM.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ant17:
Is there a way to see which recovery is already on the box? like cmod? I assume I would need to get twrp on there but didn't want to cause a problem by just puting it on there without knowing if cmods there.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bula1ca:
Deleted
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
The only method is to connect a keyboard to your FTV1 & choose to boot into recovery at startup. You should see the exact version on the lower left hand side.

If your going to be using a USB drive to flash things. You will need a USB hub to have both the USB Keyboard & USB drive hooked up to the device at the same time.

Those guides are the most complete ones. But they are some what old & also each FTV has it's own history of what has been done to it. So make sure you modify accordingly. I thought about making a post with my notes regarding this updating guide but I thought everybody's starting point is probably to different & I don't want to be responsible for bricking any FTV1's.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evaporic:
Is there a need to flash the stock recovery in order to get rid of twrp/unroot the fire TV 1 and allow it to update itself back to stock? Is flashing cwm over twrp the only way?

I am trying to get the device back to stock per buyer's request
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ant17:
Tried to install spmc 16.6 via adb fire, ES file explorer, and total commander (which happens to be WAY better than ES file explorer) and I get parsing error. Never does install.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
There is no guide on how to go back to stock FW on a FTV1 once TWRP is install. This is due to the version of FW & TWRP that the FTV1's where first updated to FireOS 5. That was FW v5.0.5 & TWRP v6. So the TWRP had matured enough to fully block updates.

The only info regarding downgrading can be found in the TWRP thread. Folks that failed @ updating to TWRP correctly where able downgrade back to CWM. I think you also need to downgrade the FW to a PreRooted FireOS 3 too but I could be wrong. Once on CWM you should be able to allow updates since CWM won't block those updates.

Look/search for more info on the few folks that where able to go from TWRP to CWM here:

https://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/development/firetv-1-bueller-twrp-recovery-t3383286

Also once your fully on CWM/FireOS 3 you might be able to use this guide to downgrade too:

http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-unroot-a-fire-tv-and-switch-back-to-stock-updates-from-amazon/

All of the above is theory for me. Since I've never had to dealt with this. And there are no guides for this specific scenario. So make sure you look thru the TWRP thread to find the folks that actually mention going back to CWM. Although most of them did so just to reflash TWRP.

Search example: https://xdaforums.com/search/thread/3383286?query=back to cwm

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Anova's Origin:
Custom kernels for the OP3T purposely underclocks the CPU to the same frequencies as the SD820 due to stability reasons. The stock kernel allows for the CPU to achieve higher frequencies and then throttles it down to prevent crashes. There is likely slightly reduced performance in custom kernels compared to the stock kernel, though I don't think it should result in noticeable lag. Are you sure your ElementalX kernel isn't set to power saving mode? Maybe try to set it to performance to test it out, or change the CPU governors.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] se7ensde:
You can change cpu speeds in the aroma installer when installing through twrp. There are several options I usually just use the default and still get great performance for scrubbing including games. You can also change cpu speeds with the elemental x kernel manager app from the play store costs about 2 or 3 dollars definitely worth it cause it will also update the kernel for you.

This may just be a problem with Android in general because I noticed this on my Nexus 5x.

So if I'm just slightly out of the room of my router, I get my wifi randomly turning off. Sometimes on 3/4 bars it will say "disabled" and refuse to connect without me manually connecting. I don't want to use data at all, but I can't get my phone to keep the connection. My wifi signal isn't bad, and I can get it with my laptop across the street.

Any way to stop it from shutting off my wifi connection or "disabling" my router?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaTequilaMockingBird:
Upon experimenting with the Marshmallow XtreStolite rom, I notice that my model number has changed from 'W8' to 'F'; So what is the problem you may ask, and how would this affect me in any way other than some measly name change? As some may already know, some of these models offer a feature know as wifi calling. Specifically in my Fido 'W8' model, it gives me an option to activate at the bottom of my call settings; however, after flashing the rom, I went back there to reactivate it only to find out there is no longer an option to do so. Wifi calling is an important asset especially for myself due to the fact that the current living space I reside in is what would call politely call "a basement room of an appartment", the lowest of the lowest. Therefore because of my predicament, it renders the welfare of my signal to be minimal and to almost nothing. Which is why wifi calling is an ideal replacement for my erroneously ****ty good for nothing signal that I pay around $50 a month to use (prices here are disgusting for the quality).

:) Thank you for any suggestions that may come forth or even if someone confirms that there aren't currently any roms that fit my description of what I desire.
